Chinese automaker BYD has launched the Dolphin compact electric vehicle in Malaysia. Since December 2022 when the brand debuted its passenger EV in the country, BYD has continued to expand in the market. The Dolphin is BYD’s second model in Malaysia after the launch of the Atto 3 last December. The new models are being exclusively distributed in Malaysia by Sime Darby Motors. The BYD Dolphin has been on sale in China since August 21, 2021.

The BYD Dolphin was launched on July 27, according to a statement by the brand. The Dolphin is being offered in two versions in Malaysia, compared to the three versions available in China. The BYD Dolphin has dimensions of 4,125 x 1,770 x 1,570mm while the wheelbase is 2,700m.

Currently, there are eight stores offering the BYD Atto 3 in Malaysia. BYD hopes to expand its collaboration with its partners with a focus on increasing accessibility to BYD’s products and services in China.

It started its development in the local market by delivering commercial vehicles and assembling its electric buses locally.

The BYD deal with Sime Darby Motors was penned in October 2022. The agreement entailed the importation of BYD passenger EVs and this was signaled by the Atto 3 in December 2022. The two BYD Dolphin EV models available in Malaysia are priced at 99,900 ringgit (~$21,932) and 124,900 ringgit (~$27,420) respectively.

OnePlus Open Updated Leaked Renders Reveal Significant Changes To Camera Module And Form Factor

By

Aug 4, 2023

Recently OnePlus seemingly confirmed that its first-ever foldable phone will be called the OnePlus Open. Earlier this year, the brand confirmed that the device may debut in the third quarter of this year. However, a recent report also revealed that it might be delayed for a ‘good reason’. The OnePlus Open surfaced in leaked renders as well as specifications in June. Now, the same tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (aka onleaks) who is highly reliable has shared updated renders of the foldable phone.

OnePlus Open appears in updated leaked renders

Onleaks reveals that the updated renders of the OnePlus Open are based on the pre-production unit pictures. Hence, they offer the best and most comprehensive look at the upcoming offering. The updated renders are also different from the previously leaked CAD-based renders.

As per the latest development, the OnePlus Open looks more compact in the new images compared to a taller form factor in the previously leaked render. It now has a wider aspect ratio similar to the OPPO Find N2 or even the Google Pixel Fold. The foldable phone also looks incredibly small, almost the size of a wallet. It has curved edges on all sides.

The circular camera module on the back panel also becomes bigger along with slight changes compared to the early renders. It houses two sensors, a periscope lens, an ‘H’ branding confirming Hasselblad’s presence, and another sensor that could potentially be a Time-of-Flight or LiDAR sensor. The LED flash unit retains its position at the top left corner of the back panel, although its size has increased. The back panel of the foldable phone also has a faux leather texture.

The OnePlus Open has thin bezels on both the interior and exterior displays. The punch-hole cutout is located centrally on the main display whereas it is placed at the top right corner on the interior screen.

Previously leaked render VS Latest render

The most notable difference between the old and new renders of the OnePlus Open is that it sports a boxy form factor. The power and volume rocker buttons are on the right edge with the former likely doubling up as a fingerprint scanner. There is also the brand’s iconic Alert Slider on the left side of the device. The foldable phone will be equipped with quad speakers with two speaker grilles located at the top and bottom. The device also has a USB-C port at the bottom.

Meanwhile, you can check out the previously leaked core specifications of the OnePlus Open here.

CMF by Nothing: A sub-brand for affordable products

Aug 4, 2023

Despite being a young brand, Nothing is seeking to expand its presence in the market by introducing a new sub-brand. Meet CMF by Nothing, which will offer a new range of affordable products. So let’s have a look.

CMF: Affordable products with improved designs

CMF stands for Colour, Material, and Finish, which clearly signifies its brand philosophy. Interestingly, it appears that Carl Pei is following in the footsteps of the last company he founded, which is OnePlus. Nothing was established back in January 2021 after Pei left OnePlus. But similar to how OnePlus established Nord, a dedicated sub-brand for affordable devices, Nothing will be introducing CMF.

According to Carl Pei, the two brands will be separate but share a common DNA. In other words, the focus is on offering premium design and quality for its affordable products from CMF. The Nothing CEO promises that the brand will continue the same level of attention to user experience with the sub-brand as well. Although it remains to be seen if the company holds true to these promises.

While Nothing focuses on innovation and pushing boundaries in design and technology, CMF will emphasize clean design within a budget. As per the senior executive, many have asked for them to launch more affordable products, so this is where CMF steps in. Apart from this, Carl Pei confirmed that the brand will be launching its first-ever smartwatch and new earbuds by the end of this year.

Li Auto unveils L9 Pro: Makes luxury Electric SUV affordable but without LiDAR

By

Joane

-

Aug 4, 2023

The Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Li Auto has introduced the L9 Pro wallet-friendly luxury electric SUV that forgoes LiDAR technology in favor of a vision-based driving system. This bold move challenges the industry’s prevailing trend, where most car manufacturers are heavily investing in LiDAR for autonomous driving capabilities.

The Li L9 Pro, a sibling to the previously released Li L9 Max, retains most features of its counterpart but comes at a significantly lower price point. Priced at 429,800 yuan ( $60,173 USD), the L9 Pro is 30,000 yuan ($4,200 USD) cheaper than the L9 Max version, making it a highly attractive option for potential customers seeking a luxury electric SUV without breaking the bank.

One of the primary differentiators between the two models is the intelligent driving configuration. The L9 Pro is equipped with Ideal Intelligent Driving AD Pro, powered by a single Horizon Robotics Journey 5 chip with a total computing power of 128 TOPS. This system relies solely on vision, leveraging 23 cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and ultrasonic radar for navigation, eschewing the use of LiDAR.

In contrast, the Li L9 Max features the Ideal Intelligent Driving AD Max, equipped with one LiDAR, two Nvidia Orin X chips, and a powerful total computing power of 508 TOPS. This system provides full-scene assisted driving capabilities, including high-precision mapping for NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) features.

Li Auto’s decision to offer two versions of the L9 model allows customers to choose between the cost-effective L9 Pro and the feature-rich L9 Max. Both models share other configurations, such as Li Auto’s Magic Carpet Air Suspension, Li Intelligent Space SS Max+ technology, three OLED screens, an in-car refrigerator, and over 100 other options for enhanced comfort and convenience.

Li Auto’s commitment to expanding its market share and staying competitive in the growing electric vehicle market is evident. The company aims to challenge a monthly sales volume of 40,000 units by the end of this year. In June and July alone, Li Auto delivered over 30,000 vehicles, surpassing its previous sales records.

The L9 Pro is now available for pre-order, with deliveries expected to begin in August 2023. The absence of LiDAR in this version may not make it a fully autonomous vehicle, but with its advanced vision-based driving system and competitive pricing, the Li L9 Pro undoubtedly presents an enticing option for those seeking a luxury electric SUV without the hefty price tag.

A number of new reports have recently surfaced regarding the 2023 lineup of Apple iPhones that have hinted at their specifications and features. But now, it appears that the launch date of the iPhone 15 series has been leaked as well. The new flagship phones could launch next month, so here are all the details.

Apple iPhone 15 series Launch Date

While initial reports had claimed that the Cupertino based giant will delay the launch event, a new report suggests otherwise. A new report has found that mobile carriers in the US are asking employees to take a break on September 13 due to a major smartphone announcement. The model in question wasn’t specifically mentioned but it is likely to be the new iPhones since it matches Apple’s annual launch timeline.

Keep in mind that this is still just speculation at the moment and it is not a confirmed report. A recent rumor claimed that the company might delay the launch owing to production issues for its higher-end iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. However, another report claims that the launch will still be launching on time in September.

Talking more about the devices, the iPhone 15 lineup includes four models, namely iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 15 phones will reportedly feature upgrades over their predecessors along with some design changes like the programmable Action button that replaces the mute switch.

Huawei Technologies’ handset business is making an impressive comeback, according to Richard Yu, the head of the company’s consumer business. Speaking at the annual developer conference in Dongguan, he revealed that Huawei’s share of the domestic smartphone market soared by a staggering 76.1% in the second quarter. Furthermore, the company secured the second spot in the high-end sector, showcasing its determination to reclaim its market standing.

Counterpoint Research data indicates that Huawei held 11.3% of the overall China market in the second quarter, trailing five competitors led by Vivo and Apple. Despite the challenges posed by US government restrictions, Huawei remains steadfast in its efforts to rebuild its smartphone business.

Earlier this year, Huawei unveiled a series of new smartphones, dispelling rumors of any intentions to sell off its handset business. The launch included the highly anticipated foldable smartphone Mate X3 and the flagship phone P60 series. These innovations have been pivotal in sparking interest among consumers, propelling Huawei towards a positive trajectory.

At a recent product launch event in Shanghai, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s device business group, expressed his optimism for the future, stating, “We have experienced four years of winter under sanctions. Now, the spring has come, and we are excited about the future.”

Central to Huawei’s resurgence has been its unwavering commitment to research and development. Despite the challenges of the US ban, the company has invested heavily in cutting-edge technologies. In 2022, Huawei’s R&D spending reached an impressive $23.8 billion. The company remains steadfast in its commitment to exploration and innovation as profits continue to grow.

Xiang Ligang, director-general of the Information Consumption Alliance, emphasized that since the US government’s tough restrictions were imposed on Huawei in 2019, the company has tirelessly worked to mitigate the negative impact on its revenues. Now, these efforts are evidently paying off, with Huawei on an upward trajectory and showing signs of a remarkable recovery.

While competition in the Chinese smartphone market remains fierce, Huawei’s steady ascent signifies a renewed sense of optimism within the company. As it continues to navigate the challenges of the global landscape.
