China records its lowest Q2 sales since 2012; Vivo emerges as the market leader – Counterpoint

The latest Counterpoint Market Pulse Report for the Chinese smartphone market has highlighted some highs and lows in the market until the end of June 2021. The report indicates that Xiaomi was the fastest growing brand within the second quarter of the year, and Vivo has the largest market share of 23% during the period under review.

Best Smartphones Camera 2021 featured OPPO Xiaomi OnePlus Vivo Samsung

The Counterpoint report also showed that the second quarter of the year saw the lowest sales numbers since 2012, with 75 million smartphones sold. While there was a 13% dip QoQ in Q2 2021, a 7% decline YoY was also reported. The numbers paint a varied picture of the state of the Chinese smartphone market. It could also indicate that the effects of the coronavirus pandemic may still be felt after a tortuous 2020 for China. However, there could be several other factors contributing to the shrinking of the market. The US ban on Huawei, coupled with its actions to shed some businesses, could also be part of the reasons for the decline.

Xiaomi and several Chinese brands, and even Apple experienced some significant improvements while Huawei was the biggest loser. Huawei’s market share plummeted from 32% in 2020 to the current 10% as of Q2 2021. Xiaomi grew fastest with a 70% performance year-on-year. The number reflects Xiaomi’s rapid expansion plans that have seen it scale up its presence in lower-tier locations with several offline outlets.

The Counterpoint report also predicts a quick bounce-back of the Chinese smartphone market in Q3, as the fundamentals remain bright. The rebound could be driven by some inherent factors, including a resurgent Honor brand, which continues to expand and experienced a decent growth trajectory and fast-rising market share.

Leak: Snapdragon 898 is Qualcomm’s next-gen flagship chipset

Qualcomm surprised us last year when it announced the successor to the Snapdragon 865 as the Snapdragon 888 instead of the Snapdragon 875. There have been reports that the next-gen chipset will arrive as the Snapdragon 895 but a new report says that won’t be the case. Instead, Qualcomm will announce it as the Snapdragon 898.

The source of the info is the renowned Chinese leaker, Ice Universe, who disclosed on Weibo that the chipset is called the Snapdragon 898. He also added that the prime core which is expected to be based on the new Cortex-X2 will be clocked at 3.09GHz. Arm announced the high-performance CPU core in May and it said it brings a 16% increase in performance over the Cortex-X1.

 

Snapdragon 898

The Snapdragon 898 will be a 4nm chipset that will be manufactured by Samsung as reported earlier this month when it was still referred to as the Snapdragon 895. The higher-clocked plus variant expected to be released in mid-2022 will be manufactured by TSMC.

Qualcomm is also expected to go with a different CPU cluster from that of the Snapdragon 888. Instead of a 1+3+4 CPU cluster, a leak from a few weeks ago revealed that the Snapdragon 898 will have a 1+3+2+2 CPU cluster. This translates to: 1x Cortex-X2 prime core + 3x Cortex-A710 cores + 2x Cortex-A510 cores + 2x Cortex-A510 cores (at a lower clock speed).

The Snapdragon 898 or whatever it ends up being called should be announced in December.

Sony has sold over 10 million PlayStation 5 consoles

The PlayStation 5 (PS5) was released last year as the latest version of Sony’s gaming console line and was available for purchase in November. While the launch of the console has been plagued by a long-running shortage as demand outweighs supply, no thanks to a chip crisis, Sony announced that it has sold more than 10 million units.

Announced via Twitter as well as a blog post, Sony revealed that as of July 18, it had sold more than 10 million PlayStation 5 consoles globally. This figure makes the PS5 the fastest-selling console in the history of Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE).

There is no doubt that Sony would have sold a significantly higher figure if it didn’t have to grapple with supply issues. The console also didn’t launch in China, a major market, until the end of April 2021.

The press statement praised the efforts of the Product Development team, the Hardware Engineering and Operations team, as well as the Business Operations teams around the globe in achieving the milestone.

Sony also took the chance to mention that it has exclusive games coming to the platform such as God of War: Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West. It also mentioned other highly-anticipated games such as Battlefield 2042, DEATHLOOP, Far Cry 6, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Some of these games will arrive this year while others won’t be released until 2022.

Lastly, Sony mentions that it is still working on improving supply around the globe and can’t wait for the day the console will be easily available to get for everyone.

The PS5 is priced at $399/€399/£349/₹39,990 for the Digital Edition which doesn’t have a disc drive. The model with a drive for physical games is priced at $499/€499/£449/₹49,990.

iPhone 12 vs iPhone 12 Mini: Specs Comparison

The latest lineup of Apple phones includes four variants: the vanilla iPhone 12, the iPhone 12 Mini, the iPhone 12 Pro, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The most affordable ones are naturally the non-Pro variants and for the first time in Apple’s history, there is a Mini version of the iPhone. Despite the existence of a Mini variant, the vanilla iPhone 12 is still a pretty compact phone compared to Android flagships. Does it make sense to choose an even smaller phone? What are the differences between the two handsets? This comparison will help you find out.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES 5G, optional dual SIM, optional eSIM, MagSafe, IP68 waterproof 5G, optional dual SIM, optional eSIM, MagSafe, IP68 waterproof

Design

If we exclude the dimensions, iPhone 12 and 12 Mini have the same design. They come with a glass back and an aluminum frame, as well as a borderless display on all the sides and a classic notch. Besides being more compact, the iPhone 12 Mini is also lighter with a weight of just 135 grams against 164 grams. The phones are dustproof and waterproof up to 6 meters deep for a max of 30 minutes, with the IP68 certification. Both the phones come with the MagSafe connectors on the rear side to attach official external accessories such as wireless chargers and battery packs.

 

Display

The display is the most important difference between iPhone 12 and 12 Mini. First of all, they differ for the diagonal: the vanilla version has a 6.1-inch display, while the Mini variant has a 5.4-inch diagonal. Further, the vanilla version has a higher resolution with 1170 x 2532 pixels against 1080 x 2340 pixels. Both are Super Retina XDR OLED panels with HDR10 support, Dolby Vision, and very high brightness. They are definitely two of the best displays out there, despite they do not have a high refresh rate. The phones do not come with an in-display fingerprint reader but they rely on Face ID for authentication.

 

Specs & Software

iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are equipped with the same hardware setup. It includes an Apple A14 Bionic chipset built at 5 nm with a max frequency of 3.1 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, and 64, 128, or 256 GB of native NVMe storage depending on the chosen configuration. They run iOS 14 out of the box which can be updated to iOS 14.7 with the last updates. Their performance is simply amazing in every scenario, despite you can get an even better multi-tasking experience with the Pro variants of the 12 series. Unfortunately, they do not have a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage, but they support the 5G connectivity, as well as Wi-Fi 6.

 

Camera

The iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Mini sport a dual rear camera with a 12 MP main sensor including optical stabilization and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor. Unfortunately, you do not get a telephoto sensor with these two phones (so no optical zoom), but they are able to shoot awesome photos in every condition and even better videos with a 4K resolution, 60 fps, and Dolby Vision.

 

Battery

The iPhone 12 Mini is smaller than the vanilla version, which means the battery is smaller too. The capacity of the battery in the iPhone 12 Mini is 2227 mAh, while the original iPhone 12 has a way bigger 2815 mAh battery. The vanilla iPhone 12 is able to reach up to 65 hours of battery life, while the Mini variant goes up to 50 hours. Both support fast charging with a power of 20W, as well as wireless charging through the MagSafe connectors. Note that iPhone 12 Mini supports 12W wireless charging, while the vanilla version goes up to 15W. However, this should not result in faster charging times because the Mini version has a smaller battery out of the box.

 

Price

The starting price of the vanilla iPhone 12 is €750 or $700, while the iPhone 12 Mini starts from €630 or $680. Note that the prices vary depending on the market: in the U.S. for example, the handsets are more affordable than in Europe. If you need a very compact phone and you do not mind having a smaller battery because you can charge your phone every day, the iPhone 12 Mini might be a very interesting choice for you. But if you prefer having a wider display and a bigger battery, just go for the iPhone 12 to get a better user experience.

Telegram Beta adds gets new features including screen sharing

When it comes to instant messaging apps, Telegram is ahead in terms of features, especially when compared to WhatsApp. The messaging app is cementing its lead with a handful of new and interesting features including screen sharing which have now been made available for the beta version.

Telegram Logo Featured

The latest update to Telegram beta according to Testing Catalog brings multiple new features. Among them is Screen Sharing during a video call. This can come in handy when you need to help an older relative with their device. To turn on this feature, you will have to first press the “Stop Video” button, then start it again. You will get three options at the bottom of the screen one of which is “Phone Screen”. Select this and follow the prompts to begin sharing your screen with the caller on the other end.

Telegram has also added support for adjusting video playback speed. You will remember that WhatsApp recently added support for adjusting playback speeds for voice notes. Telegram now lets you speed through those long videos forwarded to you. The speed menu also has options for slowing down playback speeds too.

Another feature that has been added is the ability to clear a chat history older than one month. Previously, you could only do this for chat histories a week old. There is also support for playing short videos in a floating window when you are scrolling.

To get to experience these new features, you will have to manually get the app yourself as there is no way to join the beta program from the Play Store like you have for some apps. Android Police reports that the APK for Telegram Beta is available on the Microsoft App center.

Huawei P50 Series rumor roundup: Specs, Price, Colors & More – What to Expect!

Huawei P50 series launch is one of the most interesting smartphone launches occurring this month in China. While the series is set to arrive on July 29, leaks about the smartphone series don’t seem to be slowing down. With so many leaks around, it is a daunting task to keep a track of each one. Today, in this piece, we are rounding up all the rumors about the Huawei P50 series.

Huawei P50 Series Rumor Roundup: What to Expect?

The Huawei P50 series will include three phones dubbed P50, P50 Pro, and P50 Pro+. Additionally, the series is also said to get a few 4G models.

Display and Design 

According to recent leaks, the Huawei P50 will feature a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with a 90Hz high refresh rate. On the other hand, the P50 Pro and P50 Pro+ will be sporting a 6.7-inch curved OLED display with a higher 120Hz refresh rate.

The trio will feature a 10-bit color panel and a punch-hole cut-out for the front camera. A leak revealed that the P50 Pro will feature a 2.5K resolution panel.

Moreover, we shared exclusive case renders of the phone which revealed its rear design.

Cameras on the P50, P50 Pro, and P50 Pro+

Talking about cameras, the P50 series is expected to feature a unique camera island. The island will hold two huge camera rings sporting multiple cameras in the upper ring and a single periscope lens in the bottom ring.

Huawei P50

Upfront, the P50, and P50 Pro will flaunt a single camera setup, whereas, the P50 Pro+ will boast a dual-punch-hole camera system. Recently, the smartphone was confirmed to feature a VARIO-SUMMILUX lens. It is also touted to take real-life colors while capturing images.

Hardware and Software 

Under the hood, the vanilla Huawei P50 is slated to come powered by Kirin 9000 5G chipset and Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 4G chipset.

The P50 Pro and P50 Pro+ would be launching with the same Kirin 9000 5G chipset. The phones will come in the base 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant.

Huawei P50

Major differences between the trio will be in the battery. The Huawei P50 will pack a 4,200mAh battery with support for 66W fast charging technology. The P50 and P50 Pro+ were spotted with a 4,300mAh battery. The former will support a 66W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support, whereas, the P50 Pro+ will support 100W wired and 50W wireless fast charging support.

Earlier, rumors had it that the P50 series will run on HarmonyOS out of the box.

Color variants and Pricing of the P50 series 

While the smartphone was supposed to be released in Black, White, and Yellow(gold) hues, a Sparkling Pink model was just seen in a leak.

Just like the predecessor, the upcoming P50 series is expected to launch in the premium segment. The predecessor P40 was launched starting at ~$900, and with this we can expect the P50 series to start at a similar price range.

Xiaomi may be working on a Mi Band X with a 360° screen

Xiaomi’s Mi Band (Mi Smart Band) line of fitness trackers is very popular and a best seller thanks to its wide range of features and affordable price tags. The Mi Band 6, the latest version launched this year sold more than 1 million units in less than a month after it was available for purchase.

We do not expect Xiaomi to announce a successor this year but there is a high chance that the Chinese manufacturer may be working on more than one new Mi Band. Alongside a successor to the Mi Band 6, a new report has revealed that Xiaomi is planning a concept version dubbed the Mi Band X which will have a 360° wraparound display.

Mi Band X

The news first appeared on Weibo via a user that goes by @我才是羽度非凡. The post revealed that Xiaomi is working on a Mi Band with a flexible display that goes around the entire circumference of the device thus needing no strap. Think of it as an advanced version of the Nubia Alpha and Nubia Watch. The source backs up the leak with a picture that seems to be from a Xiaomi event.

Mi Band X

We do not know when Xiaomi will announce this product. We also do not know if it will be available for purchase or if it will just be Xiaomi showing us what it can pull off just like the Mi MIX Alpha. If it does make it available for purchase, we expect it to be way more expensive than any of the Mi Band fitness trackers it has announced. Nevertheless, we are excited and we are sure our readers are too.

realme MagDart magnetic wireless charging will be available for laptops, tablets, & more: Leak

Chinese tech brand realme is being reported to launch the world’s first Android smartphone with magnetic wireless charging. The brand is yet to confirm the official branding of this protocol. However, we know that it will be called ‘realme MagDart’. That being said, as per new information, this charging tech will be supported by a wide variety of devices.

Earlier today, realme announced that it will be holding ‘realme Magnetic Innovation Event’ on August 3. The brand is expected to spill the beans on its MagDart charging solution at this conference.

We already know that this charging tech will be available on smartphones. According to a popular Indian tech influencer Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings), realme MagDart charging solution will be also supported by laptops, tablets, smartwatches, and truly wireless earphones.

However, at the moment, we cannot tell for sure if the company will be releasing any MagDart-enabled consumer products from the above-mentioned product categories. All we can do is wait for the realme Magnetic Innovation Even to learn more about this charging protocol.

Chinese handset maker realme’s MagDart charging solution first appeared in a trademark filing earlier this month. A few days from that, we ran an exclusive story with renders of the MagDart charger. It was followed by a report revealing all the key details of realme Flash – the world’s first Android smartphone with support for magnetic wireless charging.

POCO X3 GT will not be launching in India, confirms POCO India Director

POCO held a launch event today to announce the POCO X3 GT smartphone. Soon after the launch, POCO India Director Anuj Sharma took to Twitter to confirm that the POCO X3 GT will not be launching in India.

Sharma claimed that the company released two unmatched products such as the POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3 GT in India this year and it does not want to create confusion in the portfolio for consumers by releasing the POCO X3 GT.

Skipping the X3 GT in India allows POCO to focus on its ‘Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t’ motto by offering a streamlined product portfolio. Sharma further said that the company has big plans for India but did not divulge any information on the forthcoming products for the country.

Samsung One UI 4.0 beta based on Android 12 could release in August

Google is expected to release Android 12 stable by September. Partner OEMs should announce the new version of their skin based on the latest Android at around the same time. Hence, it’s surprising to learn that One UI 4.0 beta based on Android 12 will be available for the Galaxy S21 series in August itself.

Samsung One UI Logo Featured

Samsung is the only major Android smartphone maker that does not take part in the official Android Beta initiative. Instead, the company runs its own program a month or two after the stable release of the latest Android version.

As per an official announcement (via PiunikaWeb) on the Samsung Members community forum, the South Korean tech giant will be soon rolling out the One UI 4.0 Beta based on Android 12 for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra very soon. Unfortunately, the post does not mention the timeline for the release.

However, a tipster who goes by the name of Chun on Twitter knows when the Android beta builds for the Galaxy S21 series will be available. According to him, the One UI 4.0 beta for the latest-gen Galaxy S models will be released in August itself.

If this happens to be true, then Samsung will be kickstarting the beta program for its Android software before the stable release by Google for the first time. As a result, Android 12 (One UI 4.0) stable is said to arrive for the Galaxy 21 series as early as November, which will be a month ahead of last year.

Last but not least, Chun says that One UI 4.0 will adopt Android 12 Material UI. The OS will come with optimizations for Snapdragon 888/Exynos 2100 chipsets and a revamped Samsung Notes app as more devices are expected to support S Pen.

Nokia T20 tablet’s key specifications, pricing leaked

Last month, an upcoming Nokia tablet was spotted at the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). The tablet was spotted with model numbers such as TA-1397 and TA-1392. NokiaMob.net has come across UAE and UK retailer listings of an unannounced tablet called the Nokia T20. While it is unclear whether the aforementioned model numbers belong to the T20 tablet, the retailer lists have revealed its key specifications.

The retailer listings have revealed that the Nokia T20 tablet will be sporting a 10.36-inch screen. The device will come equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in storage.

The listings also show that there are two variants of the T20. One of them appears to be a Wi-Fi-only variant, whereas the other one is a 4G model. The tablet is expected to arrive in blue color.

Nokia Logo

The Wi-Fi variant is listed with pricing of £185 ($257) with VAT and £154 (~$214) without VAT on the retailer site. On the other side, the 4G model is listed for £168 (~$233) with VAT and £185 (~$280).

Various smartphone brands are gearing up to launch tablets this year. Realme will be launching the Realme Pad tablet in the coming months. Other brands like OPPO, Vivo, and iQOO are also expected to launch their tablets this year. It now appears that HMD Global too will be launching a tablet in the near future.

HMD Global is expected to hold a launch event around October. The event is expected to see the arrival of the Nokia G50 and a new X-series phone. Probably, the company may use the same platform to announce the Nokia T20 tablet.

POCO X3 GT packs a Dimensity 1100 chip, Gorilla Glass Victus, and 67W fast charging for $299

Barely a week after announcing the POCO F3 GT, the Xiaomi subsidiary is back with another phone – the POCO X3 GT. This too is a rebadge of an existing Redmi phone – the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G sold in China.

POCO X3 GT

Unlike some other rebadged Redmi phones, POCO has not modified the design of the POCO X3 GT. So this is the Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G with POCO branding at the bottom left corner instead of Redmi’s.

POCO X3 GT Specifications

The POCO X3 GT has a 6.6-inch LCD FHD+ DotDisplay with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. The display has DynamicSwitch which automatically changes the refresh rate based on the content being viewed. So you’ll get a 48Hz refresh rate when watching movies, a 50Hz refresh rate for TV shows, and 60/90/120Hz refresh rate for games.

Other features of the display are Gorilla Glass Victus for better protection against drops and scratches, a DCI-P3 color gamut, Reading Mode 3.0, and 360° ambient light sensors.

The POCO X3 GT has a Dimensity 1100 processor and is paired with 8GB of RAM. It will be available in 128GB and 256GB storage options.

For its cameras, the phone has a 64MP f/1.79 main camera, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP macro camera. Users will be able to take photos in Night mode as well as long exposure photos. There is also a vlog mode, pro time-lapse mode, and photo clone feature. The phone can record in 4K at 30fps, in 1080p at 30fps and 60fps, and in slow motion at 120, 240, or 960fps.

POCO X3 GT cameras

The front-facing camera is a 16MP sensor and you get AI Beautify, Movie Frame, and Short Video modes.

The POCO X3 GT has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an IR Blaster, NFC with support for Google Pay, Bluetooth 5.2, and Wi-Fi 6. It also has stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos, Hi-Res Audio, and Hi-Res Wireless Audio. It also has Dual 5G support and LiquidCool Technology 2.0 which can reduce the temperature by up to 11°C when in a high-performance state.

POCO ships the phone with a 5000mAh battery and it supports 67W fast charging that allows you to charge the phone from empty to full in 42 minutes. Thankfully, you get a 67W fast charger in the box. The F3 GT runs MIUI 12.5 based on Android 11.

POCO X3 All Colors

POCO X3 GT Price and Availability

The POCO X3 GT is priced at $299 for the 128GB version and $329 for the 256GB version. It is available in Stargaze Black, Wave Blue, and Cloud White and will be sold in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Availability will vary from region to region.
