Huawei sued counterfeit headphones seller in China, received 1 million yuan compensation

Huawei is one of China’s biggest names in AIoT products, which means that from time to time, people try to make easy profits using that name.

Huawei FreeBuds Pro

A similar incident occurred recently where an unauthorized seller was selling knockoff Huawei earbuds by fooling customers. The guilty party named Shenzhen Jinyun Video Equipment Co., Ltd. infringed on Huawei’s trademark and also used the “FREEBUDS” trademark for the counterfeit products. They also used taglines like “official genuine Huawei only” and “official original equipment” on their online products page to trick customers.

After numerous complaints from the victims of this long-running scam, Huawei investigated the matter and sued Shenzhen Jinyun Video Equipment Co., Ltd for trademark and copyright infringement. Other than that, Huawei also demanded 3 million yuan ($450,000 approx) for economic losses and also demanded that the accused bear the litigation cost.

The case was heard in the Yuhang District People’s Court of Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China, which ruled in Huawei’s favor and ordered Shenzhen Jinyun Video Equipment Co., Ltd to pay Huawei an amount of 1 million yuan ($150,000 approx) as compensation.

Redmi K50 Ultra display & camera specs tipped

Earlier this year, Redmi debuted its Redmi K50 series in China. The series consists of the Redmi K50G which comes powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, the Redmi K50 Pro, and the vanilla K50. Now, it appears that the brand is getting ready to add another device to this lineup as a recent report suggested that a more powerful Redmi flagship is in the works.

Redmi K50 Pro

The device dubbed the Redmi K50 Ultra was previously tipped to work on Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 platform, which is much more efficient while being more powerful thanks to TSMC’s 4nm node. Now, a new report by Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed that the smartphone will feature a Full HD+ OLED display paired with 120Hz and DC dimming. It will be a flat screen with narrow bezels going around it, and the display will feature a single punch hole in the top center.

Other than that, the Redmi K50 Ultra is said to come with a 50-megapixel primary camera, which will likely be a better sensor than the 108-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor featured in the Redmi K50 Pro. The device will draw juice from a large 4800-5000mAh battery with support for 120W fast charging.

Details about other specifications as well as the information on a launch timeline are still under wraps, but we’ll keep an eye out for any new developments, so stay tuned.

Microsoft Edge Drop feature will bring file & note sharing across devices

Microsoft has tried multiple methods to make its Edge browser more appealing to users. There are multiple new features currently under development that will debut soon. One of these new features is called Drop.

microsoft edge new

The feature was first discovered by Neowin, which works like a messaging service, with the only difference being that the messages can only be sent to yourself. Users can send and access anything, from text, pictures, or other fines across all their logged-in devices. From the screenshots provided, it appears to be placed on the sidebar, and will likely use the OneDrive for storage.

Microsoft Edge

This new feature will be very convenient for sharing files across different devices like if they have to send something quickly from their mobile device to their PC or vice versa. However, to use this feature to its full potential, users will likely need to buy a OneDrive storage plan.

The feature is currently available only to some Microsoft Edge Insiders participants who are running the latest version of the browser available in the Canary channel.

The global smartwatch market grew by 13 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 2022 i.e the period from January to March. It recorded double-digit growth for the fifth consecutive quarter. The report comes from Counterpoint Research’s Global Smartwatch Model Tracker. As per the global industry analysis firm, the market grew despite the economic slowdown and inflation. 

Smartwatch Market-Share-Q1-2022

Cupertino tech giant Apple maintained its lead in the smartwatch market with a third of the total shipments last year. It recorded a 36 percent market share in the first quarter of this year. The success of the Apple Watch is attributed to the brand loyalty of iPhone users. Counterpoint adds that Apple’s market share could rise further by the end of this year. 

While Apple led the smartwatch market, Samsung solidified its second position. The South Korean brand clocked a 46 percent YoY increase in shipments and grew significantly in the APAC region, thanks to the Galaxy Watch 4. Huawei came third in the list but shipments remained flat year on year. Xiaomi bagged the fourth spot for the first time with a 69 percent year-on-year growth. It is said to be breaking shipment records every quarter and a large proportion of sales come from the low-end segment under $100. 

Garmin ranked fifth in the list in terms of shipments but came third in terms of revenue due to higher ASP. It also occupied the majority portion in the premium segment. Amazfit bagged sixth place due to the GTR 3 and GTS 3 that were launched in Q4, 2021. After Fitbit merged with Google, its sales decreased during the same period last year.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra was the most shipped premium smartphone in India in March 2022

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is currently the most advanced and expensive slab smartphone from Samsung. According to a new report, it was the most preferred premium smartphone in India in the month of March 2022.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Burgundy Phantom Black Phantom White

 

A Hindustan Times report says that Samsung accounted for a whopping 81% of the Indian smartphone market in the above ₹1,00,000 price category in March 2022. The news outlet cites data from Counterpoint Research.

Most interestingly, 74% of the shipments came from the Galaxy S22 Ultra alone. In other words, the Galaxy S22 Ultra was the most shipped premium smartphone in India in the third month of 2022.

Additionally, Samsung also had a 38% market share in the above ₹30,000 price segment during the same period. In the whole of Q1 2022, this figure stood at 63% compared to 55% in Q1 2021.

This clearly suggests that the South Korean electronics giant did pretty well in the competitive Indian smartphone market. But the question is has the company managed to continue the momentum after March?

Unfortunately, we don’t have an answer for it right now. Going by the shipment data of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it sure looks like a pent-up demand for the Galaxy Note, an iconic stylus-equipped premium smartphone lineup, which the Galaxy S22 Ultra has replaced after two years of hiatus.

India prepares for 5G spectrum auction ahead of its 2022 end roll out

India is gearing up for the roll out of 5G networking. The government is laying the groundwork for spectrum auctions for the newer and faster bandwidth, which is set to roll out by the end of this year.

India

The news arrives from Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and is in line with our previous reports as well. For those unaware, commercial 5G services in India are set to kick off by next year, with telecom operators are already performing trials in various cities. Furthermore, it is believed that 5G networking will contribute to around 450 billion US Dollars to the Indian economy, with applications helping in accelerating development and creating new jobs.

The Union Minister stated that the 5G roll out will begin sometime in August or September 2022. Telecom operators typically need around six months from the spectrum auction to roll out their respective services, so this would give them enough time to prepare for a commercial 5G launch. Although, the government have already offered the firms extended time up to May 2022 to test their 5G networks as well. So we might see a commercial roll out sooner or possibly a limited manner in certain cities.

India

Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, stated that “The government is also discussing with telcos and other stakeholders on the spectrum auctions that will be undertaken this year.” To aid this, the government also plans on increasing the fiber backbone in India from 1.5 million kilometers to 2.5 million kilometers by 2022.

Samsung lowers smartphone production due to market slowdown: Report

Samsung has apparently slashed its smartphone production for this year. The company has lowered production goal by around 30 million units due to various reasons ranging from the economy to even the supply chain.

Samsung Galaxy M13

According to a TechRadar report, Korean media publication claimed that the company has reduced its orders of smartphones down to 280 million units from 310 million units. Furthermore, this slashing of orders is not limited to just one or two segments and has been done across its entire handset portfolio. In other words, phones ranging from the budget A series to the premium grade flagship Galaxy S and Z series have also been affected by this decision.

As per the report, there were a number of reasons why the South Korean tech giant made this move, which hints at the potential slowdown of the market. This includes economic issues as well as ongoing supply constraints. While the market did recover from the dip in 2020, with 5G handsets leading the rise, ongoing supply chain issues and materials shortages have stunted market growth. Lockdowns in China and the ongoing semiconductor shortages have also worsened the situation.

Samsung-Galaxy-S22-colors

Apart from this, there have also been wider macroeconomic and geopolitical factors that have impacted the smartphone market due to their affects on the global economy. Due to these factors, consumers are less likely to purchase a new smartphone and delay their upgrade cycle. Although, Qualcomm believes that this would affect the entry level market more than the premium segments. On a positive note, the smartphone market is also expected to see a rise in the second half of this year.
