Huawei Watch GT 4 Pro to come with new ECG monitoring feature

Sep 5, 2023

Huawei is holding a product launch event in Barcelona on September 14th. The company will launch the new Huawei Watch GT 4 series wearable device at the event. The Watch GT 4 series is already rumored to have some exciting new features, including a brand new ECG (electrocardiogram) feature.

Tipster FixedFocus has revealed that the Huawei Watch GT 4 Pro will have this new ECG feature. This feature could be used to detect arrhythmia. For those unaware, an arrhythmia, also known as irregular heartbeat, is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. Your heart may beat too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular rhythm.

It is normal for your heart rate to speed up during physical activity and to slow down while resting or sleeping. However, arrhythmias can be serious and can lead to heart problems. The ECG feature works by recording the electrical activity of the heart. This information can be used to identify arrhythmias and other heart conditions. As a result, adding support for arrhythmia detection in the Huawei Watch GT 4’s ECG feature will help consumers get the most out of their health management.

Besides ECG, the Huawei Watch GT 4 is expected to have a new positioning system for sports activity, a waterproof speaker, and new service widgets with HarmonyOS 4. It will also have a stylish frame and a green color to match the Mate 60 series of smartphones.

From the launch poster shared by Huawei, we can also predict that the Watch GT 4 will have two different dials, one that looks like the Watch GT Cyber with colored labels and another that is round. Both dials seem to have custom watch faces designed for the smartwatch.

We will have to wait for the official launch to confirm all of these features, but the new ECG addition and other features make the Huawei Watch GT 4 series even more exciting.

BMW CEO Says European Automakers Can’t Win Price War With Chinese Rivals

Sep 5, 2023

The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation. While established manufacturers like Volkswagen and BMW still produce gasoline and diesel cars, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly widespread and popular. In addition, Tesla and many Chinese companies are only producing in the EV category, accelerating this transformation. This is leading to a cold war, especially between the old and the new. BMW CEO Oliver Zipse recently revealed that in this struggle, the loser would be them. Here are the details…

Chinese Manufacturers Gaining Ground in Electric Vehicle Market

As you know, Europe has long been the heart of the automotive industry. Many manufacturers that are over 100 years old have become market leaders because they excel in engineering and have successful R&D departments. However, the rise of electric vehicles has changed this. Tesla and other new players have entered the market, ushering in a transformative era for the industry. This has been further complicated by competition from Chinese manufacturers, as well as Europe’s upcoming ban on gasoline and diesel engines.

Most recently, BMW CEO Oliver Zipse made a striking statement on this issue. Zipse said that the EU’s ban on new gasoline and diesel cars is pushing European automakers into a price war with Chinese rivals, which he said are “fundamentally impossible” to win. Zipse also said that the basic car segment will face two possible outcomes: either it will disappear, or it will no longer be dominated by European automakers.

He noted that Chinese automakers, such as BYD, are aggressively expanding into the electric vehicle market and are becoming increasingly ambitious. Zipse said that BMW is still not affected by the price war, but that it has already led to declining profits for many Chinese automakers. He pointed to Volkswagen, which has been dethroned as China’s best-selling automaker by BYD.

Zipse said that BMW has a number of advantages over Chinese automakers in the premium segment, where its brands are more popular. However, he acknowledged that European automakers will need to find new ways to compete in the basic car segment. It seems European automakers will need to find new ways to compete in the Chinese market.

Sep 5, 2023

Huawei launched its flagship Mate 60 series of smartphones in August. Now a new report has revealed some interesting details regarding the Mate 60 Pro‘s 5G SoC, Kirin 9000S. So let’s take a look.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro features one of China’s most advanced chips

According to a new report from TechInsights, the Chinese tech giant’s Mate 60 Pro features a chip designed by SMIC. For those unaware, SMIC is a major semiconductor manufacturer in China, which marks a major shift away from Huawei’s previous supplier, TSMC. Huawei was cut off from its primary chip supplier and lost access to advanced chip production for its proprietary HiSilicon Kirin series of mobile processors.

But now, Huawei smartphones supports 5G connectivity again and will feature China’s most advanced mobile processor. TechInsights adds that the Huawei Mate 60 Pro in their lab features the latest generation process called N+2 7nm, which marks a major upgrade in Chinese semiconductor manufacturing. The Kirin 9000S has a slightly larger die size (107 mm²) compared to the older Kirin 9000 (105 mm²).

The Huawei Mate 60 Pro features the advanced 7nm-based chipset that is more advanced than SMIC’s 14nm process node. Furthermore, it features a larger critical dimension than the ones on the 5nm process. SMIC’s N+2 7nm process will also offer improved scalability and yield, which were major challenges the last time.

Paytm has introduced a new Soundbox that allows users to pay for their purchases at shops using either UPI or tap-and-pay cards. It accepts payments from both UPI and all the major debit and credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and RuPay. This will make it more convenient for users to make payments, and it will also help merchants to accept a wider range of payment methods.

The Card Soundbox is a small, portable that can be easily set up by merchants. It combines the functionality of a POS unit, a UPI QR code reader, and a soundbox. It lets merchants accept card payments and receive instant audio alerts for all transactions, so both parties can confirm that their transactions have been successful.

The device has a 4W speaker for clear payment alerts and a long battery life of 5 days. It offers alerts in 11 languages that can be changed by merchants through the Paytm for Business app. Alongside audio alerts, the Soundbox also shows visual payment confirmations through an LCD display.

The Card Soundbox uses NFC technology to accept contactless debit and credit card payments. NFC-enabled smartphone users can also pay through their phones using the tap feature.

Paytm says the device is a Made in India device that allows merchants to accept card payments of up to Rs 5,000. It is powered by a 4G network connection and ensures instant payment alerts after the transaction is initiated. These alerts can be customized by the merchant using the Paytm for Business app.

Paytm was the first company to launch audio-based confirmations with Paytm Soundbox, which revolutionized in-store payments in India. The company is the market leader in in-store payments, with over 82 lakh devices deployed. In addition to Paytm Card Soundbox, the company also offers other soundbox devices, such as Paytm Pocket Soundbox and Paytm Music Soundbox.

HarmonyOS is Huawei’s native operating system that differentiates itself from Google’s Android. Although based on Android open source, the software has its own identity and unique features. The company recently announced the fourth iteration of its custom OS, HarmonyOS 4.0, and it has already been installed on over 10 million devices. Here are the details.

Huawei previously announced that just two weeks after its release, HarmonyOS 4 had been installed on 5 million devices. An impressive 1 million users upgraded to this new operating system on its very first day. The company has now shared another milestone, claiming that over 10 million devices have already adopted HarmonyOS 4.0.

Huawei is rolling out the latest software to eligible devices at a rapid pace. The company first added over 30 smartphones to the HarmonyOS 4.0 beta program and later it included 37 more devices to the roster.

HarmonyOS 4.0 comes with several notable changes, including rich theme templates and stylized layout design. You’ll be able to select the colors of your app icons and set emoji wallpapers and home screens by selecting your favorite emoji.

It will also let you better manage your notifications, by clustering them together and sorting them by importance. The notifications of the same application are now stacked into dynamic cards so that you can see more information about each notification without having to open it. HarmonyOS 4.0 also allows you to identify text and images by double-clicking, and then long-pressing to select them.

Notably, Huawei might also be planning to extend the HarmonyOS to PCs as well. We might be seeing Huawei laptops running the company’s native OS instead of Windows starting next year.

Infinix Hot 40 in works, spotted in Bluetooth SIG database

By

-

Sep 5, 2023

Infinix unveiled the Infinix Hot 30 5G in July 2023, and it appears that the company could already be planning to launch its successor. This is due to the fact that the Bluetooth SIG authority has approved the Infinix Hot 40, indicating that it might launch in the upcoming months.

Infinix Hot 40 Bluetooth certified

The Infinix Hot 40 has appeared with model number X6836 in the database of Bluetooth SIG. The listing reveals that the device will support Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. However, it does not have any information about the other specifications of the device.

The Infinix Hot 40, like its predecessors, such as Hot 30 5G and Hot 20 5G, is expected to be an affordable 5G offering with a massive display and huge battery. Infinix has been updating its Hot series at a rate of around six months in India. The Hot 20 5G was announced in December 2022 and was succeeded by the Hot 30 5G in July 2023. Therefore, there is a possibility that the newly spotted Infinix Hot 40 may go official before the end of this year.

The absence of “5G” in the name of the Infinix Hot 40 in Bluetooth makes it unclear whether it is a 4G or a 5G-enabled device. Hopefully, upcoming reports will reveal more details about the device. In our review of the Hot 30 5G, we noticed that it took more than 2 hours to charge it using the in-box 18W charger. Hopefully, the Hot 40 arrives with support for a faster charging solution. In all likelihood, the Hot 40 will be priced at around Rs 12,000 (~$150) in India.

In related news, Infinix recently unveiled the Dimensity 8020-powered Infinix Zero 30 5G in India with a starting price of Rs 23,999 (~$300). It is now available for pre-orders via Flipkart.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro 5G exceeds expectations, shipments to surpass 12 million

Due to US sanctions, Huawei has not been launching 5G-enabled smartphones in the Chinese market, while its competitors had been offering 5G phones across different price points. However, Huawei surprised the tech world by announcing the 5G-enabled Mate 60 and Mate 60 Pro in the Chinese market last week. According to well-known market analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the demand for these devices has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Huawei Mate 60 Pro 5G demands soar

In fact, the demand for the Mate 60 Pro has been so strong that Huawei’s shipment plan for the second half of 2023 has seen a whopping 20 percent increase, reaching an impressive 5.5-6 million units. A recent report revealed that the brand sold nearly 1 million units of the Mate 60 Pro through pre-orders in just 5 days in China.

To put things into perspective, let’s look at how the Mate 60 Pro stacks up against its predecessors. The Mate 50 Pro 4G, which debuted in September 2022, saw cumulative shipments of about 2.5 million units after 12 months. The Mate 40 Pro 5G, which launched in October 2020, reached approximately 6 million units in the same timeframe. Based on this remarkable trend, Kuo is of the view that the cumulative shipments of the Mate 60 Pro 5G will surpass 12 million units within the first year after its launch.

But that’s not all. Huawei’s smartphone shipments are projected to increase by a remarkable 65 percent year-on-year, reaching a total of 38 million units in 2023. This growth can be attributed to the strong demand and market influence of the Mate 60 series.

According to Kuo, Huawei’s smartphone shipments are expected to reach a staggering 60 million units in 2024. Hence, it is expected to be the smartphone brand with the strongest growth in shipments worldwide.

The success of the Mate 60 Pro has also put Huawei’s supply chain companies in the spotlight of stock markets, claims Kuo. Its supply chain includes Chinese self-reliant semiconductor companies, other firms that supply semiconductors to Huawei but are not listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) or Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE), HWA Create, which provides satellite communication chips to Huawei, and companies in the optics sector like Largan Optical, Sunny Optical, Will Semi, Smartsens, and Billu.

While the Mate 60 5G and Mate 60 Pro 5G have undoubtedly made a significant impact, it’s important to note that these impressive devices are currently limited to the Chinese market. Looking ahead to 2024, Huawei is poised to continue its resurgence in the smartphone industry. In 2024, the company is expected to launch more 5G phones in the Chinese market and expand to other markets around the world.
