Battlegrounds Mobile India faces scrutiny from govt officials over security risks

An Oppo A53 unit has just recently exploded in the pockets of a customer in India. A video that was published on YouTube reveals the detail of this occurrence, which was apparently caused by an issue in the device’s large 5,000mAh battery pack.

According to a video by YouTube channel, Technical Dost, the smartphone model from the Chinese tech giant exploded in the pocket of an Indian user. The video even showcased the aftermath of this event, with the device’s burnt rear panel being in full view. The explosion caused the lower half of the rear panel to almost completely burn away, making the internal components of the handset visible.

On the other hand, the user himself sustained injuries due to this incident. One leg of the user suffered from burns, and looking at the destroyed A53 model, it is clear that the explosion was quite severe. The smartphone brand has yet to make any official statements regarding this matter and has yet to even acknowledge this incident as of right now. Although, we can expect the company to investigate this accident so as to avoid the public relations nightmare Samsung faced back with the launch of its Galaxy Note 7.

As per the video, the Oppo A53 device was purchased back in August 2020, which means that the smartphone was still under warranty. The user stated that he only used the handset to browse the internet and to make calls. It was also revealed in the video that the Indian user used the original charger of the device, so we can rule out the possibility of a faulty third party charger. We’ll provide updates if any notable developments or additional information surfaces regarding this matter. So stay tuned for more.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 prices to be cheaper than last gen: Leak

Jun 7, 2021

Samsung is gearing up for the launch of its latest generation of foldable smartphones, namely the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3. While various rumors and reports have already surfaced regarding the device, the latest leak has revealed interesting information regarding the prices of the upcoming handsets.

Previously, the South Korean tech giant had launched the Galaxy Z Flip for a price of 1,380 US Dollars back in 2020. Similarly, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 arrived later the same year with a 1,999 US Dollar price tag. It was expected that the successors to these models would arrive at a similar price point but according to a new leak from SamMobile, the next gen models of both lineups will be priced lower than their predecessors by a notable margin.

The report added that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be up to 20 percent cheaper than their predecessor. In other words, the upcoming foldable smartphones could be almost around 400 US Dollars cheaper for their top end models. This marks a significant reduction in price for an ultra high end handset from Samsung, and also implies the reducing price tags of foldable devices in the near future. As of right now, foldable smartphones are luxury devices that cost anywhere around 2,000 US Dollars.

This high price tag deters even smartphone enthusiasts from purchasing such a product. But with prices falling down to around 1,600 US Dollars, this makes it more in line with top end variants of premium grade flagship devices. Unfortunately, the exact pricing of both smartphones is still unknown at the moment. Furthermore, the pricing of smartphones is also different across various countries. We can also expect the smartphone maker to offer new promos with pre order incentives to boost the sales of its upcoming foldable smartphones. It is currently uncertain when exactly these foldable handsets will be unveiled but the launch is expected in the coming month.

According to the listing spotted by 91Mobiles, the Galaxy Watch4 with model numbers SM-R865F and SM-R860 will be backed by a 247mAh battery with support for 5W charging. These two model numbers could belong to the 41mm variant since Galaxy Watch3 41mm features a 240mAh battery.

However, one of the reports from Korea tipped 42mm and 46mm sizes for the Watch4. But an earlier finding by Max Weinbach revealed 41mm and 45mm. In other words, the exact sizes of this smartwatch are still a mystery.

According to previous reports, both the Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch Active4 will boot the new revamped Wear OS designed by Google in partnership with Samsung and Fitbit. The wearables will be available in Bluetooth-only and cellular variants.

Last but not least, they will lack support for non-invasive blood sugar (glucose) level monitoring.

Huawei unit invests in key chip production tech to ‘offset’ impacts of US Sanctions

By

Jun 7, 2021

A Huawei subsidiary has just invested in the field of lithography, which marks the company’s entry into tech related to chip production. The move from the company likely arrives to deal with the US sanctions and ‘forge a complete chip industry chain’.

The Hubble Technology Investment, a unit of the Chinese tech giant, recently invested 82 million Yuan (12.8 million US Dollars) in Beijing RSLaser Opto-Electronics Technology Co. This makes the investment unit the seventh largest stakeholder of the company that focuses on light source systems, which is one of the three core technologies of lithograph based machines. The investment unit from the Chinese brand was established back in 2019 and has investments in about 28 semiconductor based firms.

Fu Liang, a veteran telecom industry analyst told GlobalTimes that “Huawei’s move is mainly intended to offset loopholes and shortcomings caused by US restrictions while supporting enterprises with high recognition to produce a higher level of products through investments. This is crucial for reducing China’s reliance on certain countries and enterprises in the global semiconductor industry.” For those unaware, Huawei has been forced to rely on domestic foundries that fabricate 14 to 28nm chips since it had its chip supply for the advanced TSMC 7nm chips cut off by US sanctions.

Furthermore, analysts added that lithography machines are key to building an ecosystem of the chip industry. This paired with the fact that RSLaser Opto-Electronics was the first to independently design and develop the first domestic high energy excimer laser, which broke the long term monopoly that was held by overseas manufacturers. Fu further added that “Lithography machines and light sources determine the degree of precision of chips, but the global supply is still dominated by certain enterprises, so Huawei’s investment in the lithography field aims to reduce its reliance on foreign companies.”

Jun 7, 2021

The OPPO Reno6 that has a model number of PEQM00 went official as the first Dimensity 900 SoC powered smartphone last month. Now a mysterious OPPO phone with CPH2251 has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking site. It remains to be seen whether it arrives an entirely new OPPO phone with D900 or debuts as a global version of the Reno6 5G.

The Geekbench listing shows that the OPPO CPH2251 is powered by the MediaTek chip with MT6877V/ZA model name. Past reports have revealed that this model number belongs to the Dimensity 900 chipset.

The benchmarking site further shows that the CPH2251 has 8 GB of RAM. It runs on Android 11 OS, which is likely to overlaid with a skin of ColorOS 11. It scored 729 in the single-core test, and 2147 in the multi-core test. Before appearing at Geekbench, the CPH2251 was previously seen at Indonesia’s TKDN certification platform, but it did not reveal any information on its specs.

It is known that OPPO smartphones that are released in markets outside China have “CPH” in their model numbers. OPPO launched the Reno6 5G in May, which suggests that it is unlikely to launch another Dimensity 900 powered so soon. Hence, it appears that the CPH2251 could be the global version of Reno6 5G.

OPPO Reno6 5G specifications

The OPPO Reno6 5G has a 6.43-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, which supports a 90Hz refresh rate. It has a 32-megapixel front camera and a 64-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple rear cameras.

China seeks to launch 6G network by 2030: White Paper

By

-

Jun 7, 2021

An industry body backed by the Chinese government has just issued a white paper on 6G. In this, the applications of the next generation of mobile networking and its potential key technologies were highlighted.

The white paper also added that 6G networking could even offer speeds up to 10 times faster than the peak speeds of 5G mobile networks. As per a GlobalTimes report, the paper mapped out a clear guide for the entire industry and even offered a head start on the research and development plan for 6G. One of the most notable aspects highlighted by the white paper was China’s goals to commercially launch the technology by the year 2030.

In other words, this would also mark another tech race between China and the US. Although, while the US might seek to catch up to China in the telecommunication industry for the next generation, the latter would likely lead again in the 6G era owing to its leadership in current gen 5G. This would also give China more potential to reshape the global technological and economic impacts of the next generation of telecommunications.

The white paper added that the 6G services will have three major new development trends as well. This includes immersive, intelligent, and universal along with eight business application scenarios like immersive cloud XR, holographic communication, sensory interconnection, intelligent interactive communication, digital twins, and global coverage. A China Mobile research staff also told GlobalTimes that the telecom operator has been testing terahertz waves and visible light as potential spectrum selections.
