Mar 15, 2021

Major smartphone brands in China are expected to adopt the ToF 3D sensing camera technology for rear imaging modules of new and upcoming smartphone models. These new devices with the ToF sensors are projected to ship in the second half of this year.

According to a DigiTimes report, these popular Chinese vendors are expected to finalize their plans in the early second quarter of this year. As per a source close to the matter, Meizu has already launched 5G enabled smartphones with the Time of Flight 3D sensors that were supplied by Shenzen based firm, Orbbec Technology. Similarly, China based Wuhan Sillicon Integrated and Ningbo RaySea Technology are also preparing to supply entry level 3D ToF 3D sensing modules for other Chinese smartphone manufacturers.

Furthermore, Taiwan based fingerprint recognition IC design firms are also planning to partner with other Taiwanese LED chip makers, along with other optical device or III-V compound semiconductor makers, which are essential for making ToF 3D sensing modules. This move arrives as competition intensifies for business opportunities for these firms, as per the sources.

Unfortunately, the report does not specifically mention the names of any leading Chinese smartphone manufacturers. Although, if one is offering the ToF sensor on their smartphones, others are likely to follow to not fall behind on the competition. So stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available.

Xiaomi gets court injunction stopping US blacklisting

Mar 15, 2021

A few weeks ago, the Defence Depart of the United States under the Donald Trump administration had tagged Xiaomi as a company with ties to the Chinese military, putting financial restrictions on the Chinese firm, which were scheduled to go into effect next week.

However, before the restrictions could go into effect, a U.S. District Jude has put a temporary halt on the ban. The judge sided with Xiaomi in a lawsuit that argues that the move by the United States government was “arbitrary and capricious” and deprives the company of its due process rights.

In mid-January, Xiaomi and eight other Chinese companies were added to a list by the Defence Department that requires Americans to sell their interests in the firms. Soon after that, Xiaomi filed a complaint in a Washington court seeking to be removed from the list, calling its inclusion “unlawful and unconstitutional” and arguing it was not controlled by the People’s Liberation Army.

Xiaomi is the world’s third-largest smartphone manufacturer by volume. The company is likely to win a full reversal of the ban as the litigation unfolds. After the ban was announced, the company faced the prospect of being delisted from U.S. exchanges and deleted from global benchmark indexes.

In the ruling, U.S. District Judge Rudolph Contreras in Washington, D.C., said that the court “concludes that defendants have not made the case that the national security interests at stake here are compelling.”

In a statement, a Xiaomi spokesperson welcomed the ruling and said that the designation of Xiaomi as a Chinese military company “arbitrary and capricious.” It also indicates that Xiaomi plans to continue to request that the court declare the designation unlawful and to permanently remove the designation.

OnePlus has already confirmed that the company will be launching its next-generation flagship smartphone lineup — the OnePlus 9 series on 23rd March. Ahead of the launch, the company has been revealed details about the phones.

In the latest development, Pete Lau, CEO of OnePlus has confirmed that those who purchase the OnePlus 9 series smartphones will get two years of official warranty. It remains to be seen if this is limited to Chinese users or applicable globally.

This is quite an announcement given that most of the smartphones available in the market come with standard one year of warranty. OnePlus decided to add additional year to it as it found that most users replace their flagship smartphone after two years.

As for the specifications, the OnePlus 9 5G is expected to come with a 6.5-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen that offers a 120Hz refresh rate while the OnePlus 9 Pro 5G may feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED QHD+ screen with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, both the devices will come powered by the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, coupled with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage.

The smartphones are expected to feature a 16-megapixel front-facing camera. The Hasselblad branded rear camera system of the OnePlus 9 5G includes a 48-megapixel Sony IMX789 primary camera, and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 ultrawide snapper, and probably a telephoto lens. The Pro model has a quad-camera setup that includes a Sony IMX789 48-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 superwide sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 2-megapixel depth helper.

Recently, it has been leaked that the OnePlus 9 5G will come in Stellar Black, Arctic Sky, and Winter Mist colors while the Pro variant will be offered in three colors — Astral Black, Morning Mist, and Pine Green.

The senior executive of the Chinese tech giant also included a number of negative comments regarding its previous generation flagship handsets. These included complaints like “You need to improve your camera module on 8T, it’s the same as the 8. Little disappointing,” or “I feel when I shoot on landscape the sky isn’t merging, the blue tones (are) too low, would be great if you fix.”

The official highlighted this to show that the company is reading feedback and aims on improving the camera performance for its latest OnePlus 9 series of smartphones. For those unaware, Hasselblad has one of the best reputations in the world of photography. So, the smartphone maker is aiming to improve its camera game with the new partnership, to bring more vibrant and dynamic colors.

As per OnePlus, “Hasselblad Camera for Mobile will also offer improved HDR video recording, as well as support for capturing 4K 120FPS and 8K 30FPS video.” The company further added that it will be working “with a true heavyweight partner” to “create a new benchmark in mobile photography.”

realme narzo 30 Pro and narzo 30A scheduled to get Android 11 beta in Q3 2021

In late February, realme launched the realme narzo 30 Pro in India as the cheapest 5G smartphone in the country. This handset was accompanied by another device called realme narzo 30A. Despite being newer phones, the duo debuted with Android 10 (realme UI). A few weeks after their announcement, the brand has now revealed when these products will be updated to Android 11 beta (realme UI 2.0).

Chinese smartphone maker realme has been running the Android 11 (realme UI 2.0) beta program for the eligible devices since September 2020. However, only two phones, namely realme X50 Pro and realme narzo 20 have received the Android 11 stable update in India.

What’s worse is that the company has released its newer mid-range 5G smartphones with outdated realme UI (Android 10) out of the box in India. Last week, the brand revealed that the realme X7 and realme X7 Pro will be getting the Android 11 beta update in Q2 2021.

Now, this week, the company confirms that India’s most-affordable 5G smartphone (realme narzo 30 Pro) will be receiving the Android 11 beta update only in Q3 2021. The even cheaper 4G-only realme narzo 30A will be also getting this update at the same time.

Since this schedule is only meant for the beta, which realme calls ‘Early Access’, the open (public) beta release and final stable release may take even more time. In other words, the new narzo handsets will be probably getting Android 11 stable when Google would have already released Android 12.

realme narzo 30A Laser Blue Laser Black Featured — realme narzo 30A

The brand quietly updated its ‘realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 Schedule’ post on realme Community to include these two devices. The changes were first spotted by PiunikaWeb.

Interestingly, the brand has removed realme 7i from the timeline. For those unaware, this handset had already started receiving beta builds. Perhaps, it was a mistake, and therefore, the phone may get listed again.

That said, what are your thoughts on realme’s software support? Do let us know in the comment section below.

India mulls cyptocurrency ban, while South Korean crypto exchanges surpass local stock market

Mar 15, 2021

India is apparently considering placing a ban on cryptocurrencies, which would involve fining people involved in trading or even holding any digital assets. Meanwhile, the South Korean crypto exchanges have surpassed the stock market of the country.

According to a Reuters report, the Indian government is proposing passing a new law that will ban cryptocurrencies and even fine crypto miners, as per a government official. Although this could be a major potential blow to million of investors as well. At the moment, the bill will be one of the world’s strictest policies against cryptocurrencies, which would involve criminalizing possession, issuance, mining, trading, and transferring cypto assets as well.

This arrives as the government seeks to ban private virtual currencies in favor of building a framework for an official digital currency. However, investors recently raised concerns and hoped that the authorities might ease up on the booming market. But, the new bill will enable cryptocurrency owners up to six months to liquidate all their assets. After this period, the government will start levying penalties, as per the government official. If the ban goes live, India will be the first major economy to make holding cryptocurrency illegal.

On the other hand, the colume of transactions in the South Korean digital currency market briefly overtook the daily average transactions of the nation’s stock market, as per a CoinTelegraph report. The combined crypto exchanges was valued at 14.6 billion US Dollars on Sunday, higher than the rough 14.5 billion US Dollars value of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index. In other words, this shows a stark contrast between the the two nations.

Mar 15, 2021

Earlier this year, Honor had launched its V40 5G smartphone in China, soon after the company separated from its parent firm Huawei. Now, details about a new variant of the device have surfaced online.

Recently, it was reported that the company will soon launch Honor V40 Lite Luxury Edition and now more details about the smartphone, which is positioned to be a “Youth Edition” of the Honor V40, has been revealed.

The Honor V40 Lite Luxury Edition will reportedly have a design similar to the Huawei Nova 8 smartphone. Further, it has also been revealed that the device will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset.

While not much information about the smartphone is known at this time, it has been revealed that the device will be launched by the end of this year. However, the company has not yet confirmed this.

A leaked image of the upcoming Honor V40 Lite Luxury Edition shows that the phone will have a center punch-hole cutout on top of the screen for housing the front-facing camera. On the backside, there will be an oval shared-camera module with four sensors, similar to the Huawei Nova 8.

Additionally, a few more Honor smartphones are in the works and are expected to go official soon, which include Honor 40S, Honor 10C, Honor X20, and Honor 40. It remains to be seen which of them makes it to the global markets.

Meanwhile, the company is also working on a new flagship smartphone which is expected to get launched in June this year. The device, which is likely to be a part of the Honor Magic lineup, will be powered by the Snapdragon 888 chipset.

It’s been a few months since Honor separated from its parent company Huawei and has now gone independent. Since then, the company has not yet launched a flagship smartphone but that could be changed soon.

If the latest report coming from China is to be believed, then the Honor brand is expected to launch its flagship smartphone in July this year. It’s likely that the device will be a part of the Honor Magic lineup.

The smartphone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset but apart from that, nothing is known about this device. As the launch is just a few months away, we expect to know more about it in the coming weeks or months.

In December last year, Honor’s CEO Zhao Ming had told fans that the company has plans to launch flagship smartphones in the future and the brand will have its own Mate-series and P-series devices.

Since Honor is now an independent brand, the company can easily source required components from vendors which were not possible under Huawei because of the sanctions imposed by the United States due to the on-going US-China trade war.

In fact, Honor is already in talks with companies like Qualcomm and MediaTek to reach a deal for chipsets to power the brand’s upcoming devices. The company is also in talks with Google to get GMS support. Honor is also expanding its footprints, starting with its own Honor Mall online store and new offline stores.

Last year, ZTE announced a smartwatch called the ZTE Watch Live. The entry-level wearable launched with a price tag of ¥229 (~$35) and a price tag that goes up to 21 days. The manufacturer has announced that it has a new smartwatch coming and it will arrive as the ZTE Watch GT.

ZTE mentioned the watch as one of the gifts to be won in a photography contest that it announced on its Weibo page on Friday, March 12. The post and the attached image said that the ZTE S30 and the new ZTE Watch GT are among the prizes to be won.

We are in the dark about what the smartwatch will look like and what features it will come with. However, we want to believe it will ship with upgraded features when compared to the ZTE Watch Live but still be affordable. We also hope more details will surface before the launch.

ZTE is yet to announce a release date but there is a chance that the ZTE Watch GT will be announced alongside the ZTE S30.
