Earlier today (14th March 2022), a mysterious foldable smartphone was spotted in China. This device could be the Vivo X Fold, which is the company’s first foldable smartphone that is highly anticipated in the market.

The image was shared on Weibo (Via ITHome) and showcased the smartphone from the front. While it is still unclear which model this foldable phone actually is, it is believe to be the Vivo X Fold. Looking at the image, we can see that it has a thick case, which is likely to prevent anyone from spotting its actual design. Although, the display is in full view and does not appear to have any form of crease on the front.

In a previous report, we had covered the schematics that were revealed of the Chinese brand’s foldable handset. It showed that its cover display will have a curved edge and a center aligned punch hole. The rear side of the device has a circular module placed inside a rectangle block. This module houses the LED flash and a quad camera setup. An unknown key, a volume rocker, and a power button are available around the sides of the X Fold.

As per recent rumors, the Vivo X Fold will sport a 6.5 inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate on the front. Furthermore, the internal display will be an 8 inch panel with QHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will reportedly be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. It is also expected to be powered by a 4,600mAh battery pack that supports 80W fast charging. Keep in mind that these are still speculations, so take it with a pinch of salt and stick around for more updates.

Chinese AMOLED display-producing factories had an annual average utilization rate of 53.7% in 2021, which is a 10% increase compared to 2020.

Among them, the utilization rate improved the most for TCL CSOT, from 32.7% annual utilization in 2020 to an impressive 74% in 2021, the latest report from CINNO Research shows (via IT Home).

However, it is BOE that continues to be the manufacturer with the largest production area among AMOLED panel factories in China, with a market share of 37.4% in 2021. This share is down 7.6% compared to 2020, though.

BOE is followed by Visionox, with an 18.3% share in 2021, which is an increase of 1% when compared to 2020. Standing third is Hehui Optoelectronics EDO whose share in 2021 stood 15.6% — a decrease of 1.8% from 2020.

The data also shows that the overall installed capacity area of domestic AMOLED panel factories rose by 26.9% in 2021, while the production area increased significantly by 57.0%.

BOE has currently locked horns with Samsung, with the former trying to secure more orders for the latest iPhones. A new report suggests that BOE will supply Apple with OLED LTPO displays for its higher-end iPhones in 2023. But presently, the company is having to put up with the global chip shortage resulting in significant production cuts.

Apple supplier pauses iPhone production in China due to COVID lockdown

Foxconn, one of the primary Apple suppliers, has apparently paused its operations in China. The company has halted iPhone production due to the ongoing lockdown caused by a new wave of Coronavirus outbreak.

According to a Bloomberg report, Foxconn had to halt its operations in the region because of the recent lockdowns. Although, the company has managed to relocate production to other sites that are still operating at the moment, to offset the impact of the lockdown on its production. The lockdown is expected to be in effect till March 20 and was initially started by the Chinese government after more than 3,000 cases of COVID-19 were reported on Sunday (13th March 2022).

So now, the local government put the 17.5 million residents of Shenzhen, China into lockdown. Various forms of public transport like buses and subway systems have been closed and business are only allowed to operate for providing essential services. While Foxconn’s production takes a hit, Apple would also face the impact of the lockdown, alongside other tech firms that rely on its facilities to manufacture their products.

Although the report also points at the demand for products being low since the season follows right after the peak holiday season, Apple had just launched a number of new products recently. This includes the iPhone SE (2022), fifth gen iPad Air, and Mac Studio. So, early buyers might face delays in shipments over the ongoing lockdown in China.

This one managed to score 1,800 and 11,872 in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively, which is a significant improvement over the previous generation.

Last month, we learned that the OnePlus Bullets Wilress Z2 neckband-style Bluetooth wireless earphones will launch in India by March or April. Now, a tipster has not only revealed when we can expect this audio accessory but also its features.

OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z Reverb Red Featured — OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z

Ishan Agarwal has partnered with MySmartPrice to disclose more details about the upcoming OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2. According to him, the earphones will be unveiled alongside the OnePlus 10 Pro in India. The launch of the brand’s latest flagship smartphone is said to take place on March 22 or March 24.

Bluetooth SIG listing of the product was previously revealed to bear model number E305A with Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Now, thanks to Ishan, we know more details about it.

First and foremost, the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 will be available in two colors, such as black and blue. Further, the accessory will be IP55-rated for dust and water resistance.

The earphones will house 12.4mm dynamic drivers. They will have a battery life of 30 hours. Finally, fast charging support will enable users to gain 20 hours of battery backup with just 10 minutes of charging.

Although Ishan does not say anything about the price, we can expect the product to retail at around ₹1,999. Because the original OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z and the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 Bass Edition were introduced at this price.

Apple reportedly saved $6.5 billion by removing charger & EarPods from iPhone box

Mar 14, 2022

Back in 2020, Apple had launched the iPhone 12 series without a charger and EarPods within the box. The company had cited various reasons for this move, and now, a new report has revealed that this saved billions of US dollars for the brand.

When the Cupertino based giant first announced that it would be removing the charger and EarPods, many felt that the company is just trying to save more of its profits despite it officially stating environmentally friendly reasons. It also claimed that the benefit of removing the two items include smaller packing boxes, which allowed for 70 percent more devices to fit in a shipping pallet. Thus, more boxed meant that Apple could ship more iPhones at a time.

This would enable it to also reduce its yearly carbon emissions by 2 million metric tons, which the company claims is equivalent to around 500,000 cars off the road. But according to a Daily Mail report, the iPhone maker might have saved around 5 billion Pounds so far after removing the charger and EarPods from the box, which roughly translates to about 6.5 billion US Dollars. In other words, the company may have removed the basic accessories from the box to make up for the cost of the new 5G modem on its iPhones.

Notably, reducing the retail box also means that the company can reduce its shipping costs by around 40 percent. This, in turn, should lower the price of the phone to consumers. Furthermore, the brand is also now receiving additional revenue from customers that buy EarPods or AirPods and the charging brick separately. So, it won’t be a surprise if it managed to save up such a large sum in just two years.

MediaTek has seen robust growth in the smartphone chipset market in recent times. Although it seems that the growth wasn’t simply restricted to its market share, but also its chip’s performance.

It's going to be a chip for a $500 phone, see if you can get that kind of performance in your $1000+ Galaxy phones? https://t.co/razb8MhHdq

— Ice universe (@UniverseIce) March 13, 2022

While Qualcomm is one of the main rivals of the Taiwanese chipmaker, MediaTek might have its sights set even beyond. Known tipster Ice Universe recently shared a GeekBench listing of the brand’s latest flagship Dimensity 9000 SoC, and its performance was impressive. As of right now, the chipset is the company’s most powerful SoC ever and has managed to beat even Qualcomm’s current gen flagship, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, in some benchmarks.

No smartphone has launched with the new chip, however, many brands will be releasing their offerings soon. Looking at he GeekBench listing shared by Ice Universe, the Xiaomi smartphone (which might be the upcoming Redmi K50 Pro+) scored 1309 points in the single core test and 4546 points in the multi core tests. In comparison, the Exynos 2200 on the Galaxy S22 series got 1157 and 3307 points respectively. Similarly, the Google Tensor chip on the Pixel 6 Pro also managed to receive a score of just 1042 and 2832 points in the same tests.

So, the Apple A15 Bionic is the only chipset that managed to get a score that decisively beats the Dimensity 9000 SoC, with its score of 1734 in single core test and 4818 in the multi core test. Keep in mind that synthetic benchmarks only show raw performance and not how the chipset might actually perform in real life. But its still impressive that MediaTek managed to near Apple’s top SoC and even outperform Qualcomm, which is usually the go to chipset for flagship Android phones.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 series has been in the news for the past few months, revealing some key details about the upcoming flagship phones. A few key details about the Apple iPhone 14 series are already known and some more details have surfaced online.

In a new report, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that unlike the smartphones from Apple launched so far, the upcoming iPhone 14 models and iPhone 14 Pro models will have drastically different specifications.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Render — Apple iPhone 14 and 14 Pro Concept Renders

Kuo claims that the upcoming Apple A16 Bionic processor will be powering only the Pro models of the iPhone 14 series, i.e. iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max while the regular models, i.e. iPhone 14 and 14 Max will have the Apple A15 Bionic processor.

Further, the upcoming lineup will have 6GB of RAM, which is an improvement when compared to the current-generation iPhones that have 4GB of RAM. However, the Pro models in the iPhone 14 series will have LPDDR5 RAM while the standard models will keep using the LPDDR4X RAM.

Earlier it was reported that the Pro models will come with a dual pill-shaped punch-hole cutout on top of the screen for housing the front-facing camera while the regular models will continue to have a notch.

Usually, the Pro and non-Pro models of the iPhones don’t have these many differences in terms of the core specifications but this year, Apple appears to be experimenting with significantly different core internals for the iPhone models. To know for sure how much of this is true, we will have to wait for the official launch event later this year.

Redmi is scheduled to announce its highly anticipated Redmi K50 series this Thursday, March 17 in China. Earlier this week, the company had revealed the stunning design of one of its Redmi K50 series devices with a redesigned camera island and in a matte black design, which the company calls “Feather Black”.

However, smartphones normally don’t come with only one colour option, and there are more colour options to be announced at the launch event. However, new information leaked online seems to indicate that the Redmi K50 will be coming in 4 colours in total: Black, Blue, Gold and White.

The news comes from tech enthusiast, Mayank Kumar on Twitter, which had revealed the 3 upcoming colour options via a Tweet.

Redmi-K50-Gold — Redmi K50 series in Gold

The Redmi K50 series in Gold is a refreshing look in the Android space as very few 2022 Android flagships are sporting a rich gold colourway. The only other device that comes to mind is the Golden Huawei P50 Series which was launched last year.

Redmi-K50-Blue — Redmi K50 series in Blue

The Redmi K50 series in Blue looks similar to the Matte Light Blue of its more expensive cousin, the Xiaomi 12.

Redmi-K50-White_1 — Redmi K50 series in White

The Redmi K50 series in White shares a resemblance with last year’s Redmi K40/Poco F3/Mi 11X series with the Arctic White matte finish.

However, do take the leaks of the other 3 colours with a grain of salt as these leaked renders share an uncanny likeness to the official reveal of the Feather Black colourway of the Redmi K50 by Redmi themselves.

Looks are not the only deciding factor when buying a smartphone, and Redmi knows that dearly as the company is speccing out the Redmi K50 with industry-leading performance with its MediaTek Dimensity 8100 and 9000 processors under the hood.

Official Antutu Benchmarks have already shown that one of the unannounced Redmi K50 series devices equipped with the Dimensity 9000 has officially crossed the 1 million score threshold, beating out the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200.

Redmi also hinted that the Redmi K50 will feature a competitive camera setup to even rival flagships higher than its price range. The Redmi K50 series launch is happening this Thursday and for more coverage on the event, stay tuned to Gizmochina.

During its 2022 Press Day event, Segway Ninebot announced the E110A electric scooter as well as the company’s 2022 kick scooter lineup. The E110A e-scooter is coming from a growing line of seated electric scooters produced by Segway. The Segway GT- and P-series are the models that fall under the kick scooter lineup.

The Segway E110A e-scooter is a beautiful, reliable, comfortable and efficient bike that allows users to have a pleasant riding experience. Segway is gradually expanding its market reach to the seated two-wheeler electric scooter segment with the offering of the impressive E110A. The Segway E110A can achieve a top speed of 30mph, while its 1.8kWh battery can give it a range of about 35.5 miles for the scooter on a single charge. It is powered by a 1.1kW Hub motor capable of delivering a peak output of 1.5kW. The Segway E110A is thus well-suited for daily city commutes, although the battery can charge fully for up to six hours.

The Segway E110A e-scooter is lightweight, weighing about 90kg, hence it can easily operate as a sleek and highly maneuverable electric scooter suited for the buzz of city traffic. It can carry two passengers and offers a 27-liter seat bucket for storage.

The LED lights system in the E110A provides high visibility for the model, in addition to its digital dashboard, the kickstand infused into the frame, and an overall aesthetics appeal for the e-scooter. The Segway-Ninebot app provides another layer of support for the e-bike, enabling riders to track the location of the e-scooter when not in use.

The E110A has tubeless tires, front and rear disc brakes, and an IPX5 rating for water resistance. There are a few security features in the Segway E110A electric scooter including remote key operations, Password Unlock capabilities and battery safety.

The Fiido Beast is blazing the trail in the dual-purpose functionality of the e-scooter. The power credentials of the Fiido Beast are assured with its dual electric motors, dual suspension, and a powerful battery pack.

With the Fiido Beast e-scooter, it can operate as a standing e-scooter or you can sit down and ride the bike like a two-wheeled go-kart. This combination is new in the e-scooter segment, but the innovation going on within the industry meant that it was only a matter of time before we could have seen such a crazy combination.

The Beast is an indication of the micro-mobility company Fiido navigating uncharted territory. It is an overtly powerful e-scooter that can deliver top speeds of 50km/h, thanks to its 1.3kW combined power output from its motors. The Fiido Beast has a 1.5kWh battery that offers the e-scooter a range of up to 70km. The battery is removable, thus providing more possibilities for charging the battery and also scaling up the range of the Beast with an extra battery. A keyless security system is available to release the battery and prevent unauthorized tampering.

The Fiido Beast has a mechanism for transforming the standing scooter to a go-kart via the adjustable front swingarm suspension and the little seat at the back. The 11-inch tires are suited for challenging terrains and control is in the form of the dual-wheel disc brakes which are quite efficient. The Fiido Beast weighs just 37kg and its pricing details are not known yet at this time.
