Barely a day after the official unveiling of the Vivo X Fold2 in China, a teardown video of the smartphone has surfaced. The teardown video of the X Fold2 shows all the major components of the smartphone. The teardown video was shared by WekiHome and the video is quite detailed.

The vivo X Fold2 is yet to make its way to overseas markets but already a detailed video of its internals is now available. The X Fold2 disassembly video was about 12 minutes long and also included some benchmark tests for the device, as well as some camera samples. The new smartphone’s hinge mechanism was displayed during the video. The X Fold2 is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and it performed well during the performance test. Its large copper alloy VC sink was effective in optimal heat management.

The X Fold2 has an 8.03-inch E6 AMOLED display with a resolution of 2160 x 1916 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel delivers an aspect ratio of 4:3.55 and the new droplet-style hinge system is lighter and more durable than its predecessors – the X Fold and X Fold+. It also has a 6.53-inch AMOLED cover screen with a resolution of 2520 x 1080 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate. The smaller screen has an aspect ratio of 21:9 and both panels feature 16MP front-facing cameras. The vivo X Fold2 is 30g lighter and 1.5mm slimmer than its predecessor.

The Vivo X Fold2 supported up to 108W fast charging and it took just 27 minutes to fully charge the phone. The nominal wired charging capacity of the model is 120W and its reworked hinge mechanism is a major improvement. The video is originally in Chinese but other users can enable closed captions and auto-translate to get the details of the content. The vivo X Fold2 and X Flip were unveiled with the Snapdragon 8 series chipsets and Zeiss cameras.

The popularity of electric vehicles is increasing day by day. One of the main reasons for this is the decreasing costs due to advancing technology. Compared to traditional cars with internal combustion engines, EVs offer numerous advantages, which makes them increasingly attractive as their prices become more competitive. This situation creates a great opportunity for companies operating in the sector or considering entering the market. BYD, which has long known how to take advantage of these opportunities, recently announced its 2023 targets. According to Li Yunfei, General Manager of BYD, the company will sell 3 million cars this year. Here are the details…

Yunfei also announced that BYD aims to sell 3 million vehicles in domestic and international markets in 2023.

Over the past decade, BYD has invested heavily in research and development, employing 70,000 R&D staff and filing over 40,000 patents. Since stopping traditional vehicle production in March 2022, BYD has introduced new technologies such as battery-vehicle body integration and more efficient hybrid systems. To cater to different customer needs, the company has also adopted a multi-brand strategy.

The BYD brand targets vehicles priced under 300,000 Yuan (40-45 thousand dollars), Tengshi focuses on the 400,000 to 600,000 Yuan (55-90 thousand dollars) luxury car market, the F brand aims for the 600,000 to 800,000 Yuan (90-120 thousand dollars) personalized market, and Yingwang targets the high-end market between 800,000 and 1,500,000 Yuan (120-220 thousand dollars).

Yingwang deliveries are set to begin by the end of the third quarter. The F brand’s name and logo will be unveiled between May and June, and the first model under this brand will be showcased at the Chengdu Auto Show, with sales expected to start in the fourth quarter. Time will tell if all these efforts will make the company even more successful or not.

Hisense Patents a Dual-Screen Smartphone with Front and Rear Displays

Apr 21, 2023

Many of us know Hisense from their smart TVs, but the company has also been maintaining its presence in the smartphone market for some time. They primarily focus on entry-level and mid-range models, which allows them to cater to a broader user base and gain market share in the highly competitive market. Hisense‘s latest patent application could potentially signal the arrival of a flagship model. Here are the details…

Hisense Dual-Screen Smartphone Design Patent Authorized, Allowing Simultaneous Display on Front and Rear Screens

Hisense has recently been granted a patent for a dual-screen smartphone that allows users to view content on both front and rear screens simultaneously. The patent transforms the phone’s back cover into a functional display. Notably, this design does not follow the foldable screen approach. Therefore, we do not have a clear idea of how exactly it will be used. In the past, we have seen a few models that managed to fit a screen on the rear panel. However, these phones were not very functional and did not reach a wide audience.

One concern that arises with such phones is durability. As you may know, even today’s phones are quite delicate and expensive to repair when broken. For example, when the back glass of an iPhone breaks, you may have to pay hundreds of dollars. The situation is similar for premium models on the Android side. Therefore, a phone with screens on both sides might deter users who do not want to face issues. Especially when considering that a protective case cannot be used to increase the level of protection.

Nevertheless, everything we have mentioned is speculation, and we have no choice but to wait for Hisense‘s official announcements to really discuss the topic. Unfortunately, as of now, there is no information on whether the patented design will be featured in Hisense’s future mobile phone lineup. However, the patent approval demonstrates Hisense’s dedication to exploring new frontiers in mobile technology and their ambition to deliver cutting-edge products to the market.

Apr 21, 2023

A phone’s resale value decreases drastically after a year or two, especially if it’s not an iPhone. But it seems Huawei is trying to change that with their new value maintenance and renewal service for the P60 series phones. For a starting price of 99 yuan, the company is offering customers the chance to purchase this service and receive a 50% discount on the next-generation phone within the same series in 2024, when exchanging with the current phones.

Upgrade to P70 series with up to 50% discount

Huawei today announced a value maintenance and renewal service for its P60 series phones, which allows customers to purchase the service starting at 99 yuan. Customers who purchase this service will receive a 50% discount on the retail price of the next-generation phone within the same series in 2024. However, the original device should meet the recycling standards for value preservation and renewal. In other words, your current P60 series phone needs to be in good condition to be eligible for the discount.

The prices of the maintenance and renewal service are 99 Yuan ($14) for Huawei P60, 169 Yuan (24) for Huawei P60 Pro, and 199 Yuan ($29) for Huawei P60 Art. The company will be offering door-to-door replacement service but only in certain urban areas in mainland China.

This service is a smart move that could help the company build a stronger customer base and ensure more sales for future phone releases. By offering discounted upgrades within the same product line, Huawei is incentivizing customers to remain loyal to its brand, which can also keep demand high for older models.

Apr 21, 2023

iQOO has recently unveiled two mid-range smartphones in the Z7 series, namely iQOO Z7 5G and iQOO Z7x. These smartphones come with impressive hardware and are priced affordably. However, the Vivo subsidiary doesn’t seem to be stopping there, as a new model named iQOO Z7s has been spotted on Bluetooth SIG, indicating an imminent release. Here’s what we know

iQOO Z7s appears on the Bluetooth SIG website

iQOO Z7s has been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website with model number I2223. The device will support Bluetooth v5.1, as indicated by the listing. Unfortunately, no further information regarding the device has been disclosed at this time. This is the first time the handset has appeared online so we can’t predict much either.

Based on its moniker, we assume the iQOO Z7s will be yet another mid-ranger in the series. However, it could be priced lower than the iQOO Z7 and iQOO Z7x. For reference, the former carries a price tag of $230, and the latter costs around $207.

The iQOO Z7 is already a good budget option. In our review of the Indian variant of the handset, we noted that it could be a great affordable 5G smartphone suitable for all kinds of users, provided one can overlook its poor camera performance and annoying FuntouchOS ads.

To recall, the handset gets a 6.64-inch LCD panel with a Full HD+ resolution of 2388 x 1080 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 1500:1 contrast ratio. The Indian unit of the handset gets a MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset while the one in Indonesia features a Snapdragon 782G SoC. It packs a 4,500mAh battery in India with support for 44W charging.

Coocaa has recently launched a new smart projector product called the Coocaa X5. It is priced at 999 yuan and will be available for sale very soon. Here are the details…

Coocaa’s X5 Smart Projector Goes on Sale on April 25th

Coocaa has recently introduced its latest projector model, the X5. The product has gained appreciation for its features, with its most notable aspect being its price. Capable of 1080P full HD display, this projector is sold for 999 Yuan (approximately $145). The product, expected to go on sale on April 25th, has the following features:

The Coocaa X5 projector has a new generation of custom-engineered light engines combined with high-transmittance glass lenses and a custom high-transmittance LCD filter. The result is an impressive brightness of 800 ANSI lumens and a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours. The built-in next-gen LCD chip technology supports 4K decoding, while the high-transmittance full glass coated lens releases 1080P full HD image quality details.

In terms of audio quality, the projector houses two independent 5W subwoofer units, accompanied by a bass radiation basin, offering a decent audio experience. However, it is important to remember that this is an affordable projection model, and you can always achieve a better sound experience with external sound systems.

The Nokia C300 has been spotted on the Geekbench benchmarking site with the moniker “HMD Global Nokia C300”. For the unaware, HMD Global is the company behind modern Nokia smartphones.

Geekbench lists the smartphone with an octa-core processor with a motherboard codenamed “Orion”. The processor has a maximum frequency of 2.02 GHz and a base frequency of 1.80 GHz. Based on this, we understand that the SoC powering the Nokia C300 is the Snapdragon 662, which the semiconductor company markets as a lower mid-range ARM-based processor.

When it comes to headphones, many of us prefer to use TWS (True Wireless Stereo) models. These models are easy to use and carry, providing great convenience in our daily lives. However, when it comes to sound quality, even the most expensive models on the market struggle to compete with an average wired headphone. For this reason, music enthusiasts tend to stick with wired models. In this regard, DUNU, one of the prominent brands, has recently launched the SA6 MKII. Here are the details…

DUNU SA6 MKII: Deeper Bass Tuning and Premium Cable

The newest model in the DUNU lineup is the SA6 MKII. It follows the SA6 and the limited-run SA6 Ultra, featuring important improvements for those who desire superior sound quality. The DUNU SA6 MKII has an improved treble response for a more natural and airy sound with greater detail and no harshness. The midrange, especially the upper midrange, has also been updated for clearer and more distinct vocals. This change also enhances instrument separation and detail recognition.

The SA6 MKII headphones now have better sound, especially in the bass, but the midrange still sounds clear. They come with a special cable that can be changed easily, and the package includes different plugs you can use with different devices. The SA6 MKII headphones have a new look, with wooden face covers that have a touch of red.

Additionally, according to the company’s claim, they are now much more comfortable, easy to wear, and lightweight. They also come with a new case that has the DUNU logo on top to protect them and look nice. Unfortunately, there is a price to pay for these premium features and sound quality. DUNU SA6 MKII is officially launched for $579. Of course, deciding whether the product is worth this price is entirely up to you.

Nokia net sales in India hit nearly $1 billion in Q1 2023 thanks to 5G growth

Apr 21, 2023

Earlier this week, Nokia revealed its financial report regarding its operations in India. The company marked a sizeable growth in net sales, which is accredited to the growing adoption rate of 5G technology in the region.

Nokia records an impressive 327% Net Sales growth

For those unaware, the Finnish tech giant is a major player in the telecommunications industry and makes equipment for advanced 5G networking as well. Thus, thanks to the expansion of 5G deployment in the Southeast Asian country, it reported a massive 327 percent year on year net sales rise in the first quarter of this year. This brought its net sales to hit 853 million euros or roughly around 937 million US Dollars.

This is considering over the mere 200 million Euros net sales during the same period last year. So its clear that the wider adoption rate by the two major telecos in India, Airtel and Reliance Jio, has helped its overall profits as well. Nokia further added that the sizeable growth in India also helped it offset the slowing demand in the North American market. Notably enough, Nokia isn’t he only one to see sales hike as Ericsson chief financial officer Carl Mellander said that “India is strong and a good example where our sales are up five times.”

Meanwhile, Pekka Lundmark, Nokia President and CEO, stated that “Mobile Networks net sales grew 13% as 5G deployments in India ramped up, more than offsetting a slowdown in North America spending As we expected, we are seeing greater seasonality between the first and second half of the year in terms of profitability for Mobile Networks”. The executive is expecting the company to stay on track to see another year of growth in 2023.
