Earlier today (12th January 2021), Xiaomi Youpin launched a new MIJIA product. It is the new MIJIA Electric Shaver S700, which features ceramic blades and is priced at 499 Yuan (roughly 77 US Dollars).

As per the official notes, the MIJIA Electric Shaver S700’s ceramic blades were placed in strong acid and alkali for 360 minutes or 6 hours, with the structural body of the blades only showing slight changes. In other words, the blades are highly durable and are built to last. In ordinary use, elements like water, shaving foam, or even detergent will not corrode the blade, which also offers a high degree of skin care. The company claims that the MIJIA Electric Shaver S700 can last for up to 19 years if the user uses it for just 2 minutes every day.

Furthermore, the S700 also offers specific head molds that attach on the top of the blade, which are designed to offers users complete control of the length at which they want to shave or trim. The blades are also built with high durability and can withstand high impacts and even offers high wear resistance as well, which far exceeds any regular ceramic blades in the market, as per the company.

The MIJIA Electric Shaver S700 is the Chinese brands first shaver that features a high end direct drive brushless motor. This technology helps in increasing the service life of the product and also offers a smoother and more efficient shaving experience to the user. Additionally, the brushless motor also inherently output less noise in comparison to traditional motors. The electric shaver is available on the official Xiaomi Youpin website and is priced at 499 Yuan.

TCL likely to face delays in its plans to reorganize its Suzhou LCD factory

Jan 12, 2021

TCL is likely to face delays in its plans to shift its liquid crystal display (LCD) factory, which the company is buying from Samsung Display, from TV panels to IT panels as per a new report.

According to TheElec report, the company is expected to face the delay due to the shortages of LCD TV panels in the market, with customers requesting TCL to extend LCD TV panel production at the Suzhou factory, as per sources close to the matter. Furthermore, the display maker is also facing delays in its acquisition of the factory itself as the South Korean government has yet to offers its approval on this deal at the moment.

Currently, TCL aims at further narrowing the gap in large sized panels with the current world leader, BOE. In the TV panel market, the firm has a market share within the early 10 percent, while BOE has a market share in the late 10 percent as well. However, when it comes to IT panels that are used in notebooks and tablets, TCL only has a market share of 2 to 3 percent, in comparison to BOE’s notable 30 percent. Thus, through the Suzhou plant, the company aims on raising its market share in IT Panel.

Notably, in the current market, IT panels are much more profitable in comparison to TV panels. IT panel prices are expected to continue to rise in the first half of this year, while TV panel prices are estimated to stagnate during the same period. Although, with Samsung and LG downscaling their LCD production, a shortage of LCD panels has affected various industries. For those unaware, TCL is buying Samsung Display’s Suzhou LCD plant for 1.08 billion US Dollars.

Jan 12, 2021

A new report has revealed that about 223 million TVs are expected to be shipped this year. This marks a slight increase from the total TV shipments over the previous year, which faced a decline in due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

According to a TrendForce report (Via TheElec), 2021 will see a 2.8 percent high TV shipments in comparison to last year. The major reasons for the growth of the market are being attributed to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and major sporting events like the Tokyo Olympics. For those unaware, TV shipments faced a notable decline early on in the previous year due to the initial outbreak. Although, the industry made a slight recovery in the latter half of the same year.

In 2020, about 217 million TVs were shipped across the globe, marking a decline of 0.3 percent from back in 2019. Furthermore, a few TV makers also had to push back the shipments of their offerings due to the shortages of chip supply in the fourth and final quarter of last year. However, TV shipments are expected to grow in 2021, with large sized TVs expected to grow even high this year.

Due to panel prices increasing and profitability per TV declining, TV manufacturers would turn towards large sized TVs, which would offer higher margins and better profits as well. The decrease in profitability affects TVs between the 32 inch and 55 inch models. Notably, shipments for 65 inch TVs grew by 23.4 percent year on year in the second half of 2020, while TVs over 70 inch saw a significant growth of 47.8 percent during the same period. TrendForce predicts that 65 inch or larger TVs will again see a rise of about 30 percent this year as well.

Apple to lead in 5nm chips in 2021, while Samsung only reaches third the spot

Jan 12, 2021

Apple is reportedly going to lead the market in terms of 5nm chips in this year, while its competitor Samsung will only reach the third position. The former will account for nearly half of all 5nm chips in the market in 2021.

According to a Counterpoint Research report (Via 9to5Mac), Apple will be the leader in terms of 5nm chip in the current year. Furthermore, it is also one of the major reasons why Qualcomm will arrive second in the market for the same. Although, the chipmaker would only account for a quarter of the total 5nm chip shipments. The report also adds that 2020 was a good year for chipmakers, with 2021 likely being the same as well. Meanwhile, the South Korean tech giant is said to be 6 to 9 months behind TSMC, Apple’s primary chip supplier.

As per the report, 7nm and 5nm chips saw a surge in demand, especially with the growth of the 5G enabled smartphone market, new gaming console launch, and AI/GPU in cloud servers. The year also marked a growth of 23 percent year on year for the foundry industry, which reached about 82 billion US Dollars. Similarly, even 2021 is expected to witness growth as well, although, it would not be as large in comparison to 2020, growing by 12 percent year on year to reach 92 billion US Dollars in total.

The report also estimates that Apple will be the largest customer for the 5nm processes. These processes would be used for the Cupertino based giant’s upcoming 5nm+ process based chips for 2021, as its current gen A14 chips are already built on the existing 5nm process. One of the reasons why Qualcomm is expected to arrive second, beating Samsung, is due to the fact that it would be supplying Apple with modem chips. However, this might not benefit the chipmaker for too long as the company is expected to soon launch its own modems as well.

The Apple iPad Pro lineup is probably the best tablet series in the world. Apple advertises it as a replacement for laptops. Like any other product, it also gets updated with new hardware and design every now and then.

The latest iPad Pro models were released in the first half of 2020. Apple is reported to announce a newer model at around the same time this year. Ahead of its official announcement, this tablet’s design has now leaked via 3D CAD renders.

The 3D CAD renders of iPad Pro 2021 come from the source of 91Mobiles. Sadly, the publication did not get access to the specs of this premium Apple tablet except for its display, which is said to be 12.9-inch. Hence, let us only take a look at the design in this article.

Going by the renders, the upcoming iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2021 will come with the same design as its predecessor. Hence, it will arrive with squared-off edges and a dual-camera setup along with a LiDAR sensor and LED flash.

The top side of the tablet will include the power key and dual-speaker grille. Whereas, the bottom position will consist of another dual-speaker speaker grille and USB Type-C port. Further, the right side will sport volume keys and a magnetic connector to charge Apple Pencil. Lastly, apart from the cameras, the rear side of the new iPad Pro will also house Smart Connector pins for keyboard accessories.

As far as specifications are concerned, the upcoming iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2021 could be the first in the series to feature a mini-LED panel, according to multiple reports. Also, we can expect it to be powered by a beefed-up version of the 5nm A14 Bionic chipset. Unfortunately, that’s all we can speculate for now but we do expect more leaks to follow soon revealing more about this high-end tablet.

Huawei patents smartphone with under screen camera and bezel display

Jan 12, 2021

Despite Huawei struggling with its smartphone business due to pressures from US sanctions, the company is apparently still working on innovative smartphone designs that might be seen in the future.

According to a LetsGoDigital report, the Chinese tech giant applied for a new patent for a smartphone that features an under screen selfie camera along with a bezel display. The company filed for the design patent with the CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration), with the documentation arriving with 7 product sketches and 2 color renders as well. This patent was published earlier today (12th January 2021) and details an interesting device.

Looking at the patent sketches, Huawei managed to house a thin strip display on the top bezel of the screen. The purpose of this tiny screen is to display basic information like the time, network status and signals, and all the other basic details that a conventional status bar houses. Placing all of this essential information on the top offers more screen real estate to be used for the display. In other words, playing media like videos or movies would not have this information disappear and the user can always check the time without pausing or swiping down.

Another interesting detail in the Huawei patent is the lack of a front facing shooter. Furthermore, no pop up camera mechanism can be observed on the top. So, it is highly likely that the company aims to house the selfie shooter under the screen itself. Unfortunately, finer details regarding this device are currently unknown, but the sketches also reveal the large quad camera module on the rear. At the moment, it is unknown if the company is actually working on such a device, so stay tuned for more updates.

Jan 12, 2021

OPPO is gearing up for the launch of new truly wireless earphones in India. The company will launch the new Enco X TWS Noise Cancelling earbuds in the region on 18th January 2021.

The new hearables from the Chinese tech giant will launch along with the new OPPO Reno5 Pro 5G in India. OPPO Enco X arrives with a custom acoustic design and advanced software to offer a better audio experience and also feature Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling as well. The TWS earbuds achieve this through its dual microphone design, which provides active noise cancelling through multiple modes that the user can customize and choose between.

In other words, the user can control the strength of the noise cancelling to fit their requirements and choose between four different modes, namely, Max Noise Cancellation, Noise Cancellation, Transparency Mode, and Noise Cancellation Off. The OPPO Enco X is powered by the company’s DBEE 3.0 Sound System and LHDC™ (low latency and high-definition audio codec) wireless transmission. This enables it to output “distinct and detailed levels of sound in any given scenario.”

Furthermore, the new TWS earbuds have been developed with the help of a leading Danish HiFi brand, Dynaudio. The latter’s experience in the field brought on research, testing, and tuning with OPPO’s in house acoustics team in Europe’s largest acoustic laboratory. Talking about its design, it follows a simple monotone color scheme, for both the body and the charging case. The earbuds feature a silicon tip and have a small stem as well.

Xiaomi India surprised everyone in August 2020 by bringing back the Prime branding with the launch of Redmi 9 Prime. This handset is nothing but a rebadged original Redmi 9. It debuted with MIUI 11 based on Android 10. Now, five months after its release, the device has finally begun to receive the MIUI 12 update.

Unfortunately, all the other regional variants of this smartphone began to get the update but the Indian model did not receive it up until now. Even now, the build (V12.0.1.0.QJCINXM) is in the Stable Beta phase, and hence, it is being only seeded out to select users in the country.

Interestingly, POCO M2, which is basically the same device with more RAM and a different rear design started receiving the MIUI 12 update at the end of December itself. That said, these phones’ (Redmi 9/Redmi 9 Prime, POCO M2) next major update will be Android 11. They may also get the incremental MIUI 12.5 update.

Facebook under antitrust probe in Turkey over updated WhatsApp terms

Jan 12, 2021

Facebook-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp recently updated its terms and conditions as well as the privacy policy, detailing the sharing of data with Facebook and other partner companies. The users need to accept the terms by 8th February or else they won’t be able to access the app. Now, this move from the company has put it in trouble.

Competition Board in Turkey has launched an antitrust investigation into Facebook and WhatsApp soon after the company updated its privacy policy. The move comes after concerns were raised by local users, who are now looking at alternatives.

The authorities have also called for the new terms to be “suspended” pending its findings. Now, it would assess whether the policy change violated Turkish competition laws designed to prevent companies from abusing positions of market dominance.

On top of that, several government ministers have asked citizens to use other locally-developed messaging applications instead of WhatsApp. As a result, the BiP application received more than two million new users within 48 hours of the WhatsApp update.

Globally, rival messaging applications of WhatsApp, such as Signal and Telegram, have witnessed a sudden rise in demand. While Signal doesn’t collect any metadata, Telegram collects much less data than the Facebook-owned service.

WhatsApp has been widely criticized for the updated privacy policy which states that it now reserves the right to share data it collects about users with the broader Facebook network, including Instagram, regardless of whether the user has an account or profile there.

This is quite a change for TCL which has so far been using Roku TV as the platform in most of the devices, including the recently launched 6-Series and 8-Series of high-end Smart TVs. However, the company adopted Android TV for some models in the 3-Series and 4-Series in the US last year.

For those who are unaware, Google TV, which was introduced last year along with the Chromecast with Google TV, comes with a revamped user interface that better integrates with the system and makes it easier for the users to find shows and movies from different apps and services.

Currently, the company has not revealed which series of Smart TVs will be getting the option of Google TV and if the previous Android TV models will be eligible for an update. We expect to know more about this from the company in the coming weeks or months.

Jan 12, 2021

It’s been a few months since Intel teased its new Rocket Lake S desktop CPUs and now the company has unveiled more details about the same. The company also claims that the new chipset is up to 19 percent faster than the predecessor.

The Intel Core i9-11900K, the flagship chipset, is set to be available in the first quarter of 2021 and has also provided the latest preview of this series as CES 2021. Apart from faster performance, the company is also promising better integrated graphics and better AI.
