Huawei has been put on Entity List by the United States in May last year but the restrictions on the Chinese giant have tightened a few months ago, making it almost impossible for the company to make or procure chipsets or other necessary components.

But now, if the report from Financial Times is to be believed, then Huawei may be planning a dedicated chip factory in Shanghai, China to overcome the restrictions imposed by the United States government.

EDITOR’S PICK: Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra flagship smartphone could already be in production

However, it’s noteworthy that the report adds that the chips plant by Huawei in China would be only for the core telecom infrastructure business and not the smartphone business. The report claims that the plant would be run by Shanghai IC R&D Center and the company would consider it experimental until the chips can be used commercially.

The chips would be manufactured using the 45-nanometer (45nm) process and next year and towards late 2021, the company will be moving manufacturing to 28nm chips. It could also start making chips for Smart TVs and IoT devices. It plans to make 20nm chips by 2022 and would make almost every 5G cellular hardware.

The smartphone business from Huawei is also getting some relief as more and more companies are being granted special licenses by the United States to continue doing business with Huawei as long as the components are used for the core 5G telecom business. Many companies, including Intel, AMD, Samsung Display, and others have received the license to supply components to the Chinese giant.

A new report has suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra might have already started production. In other words, the next gen flagship from the South Korean tech giant might be arriving sooner than expected.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (part) production seems to be starting rn. Will have to wait a little to confirm if this is mass production or just sampling for PVT/DVT devices.

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) October 30, 2020

According to a tweet from known leakster Roland Quandt (@rquandt), the part production of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra has already started. Although, Roland also clarified that it is unconfirmed if this is in the mass production phase or just sampling for PVT/DVT devices. Meaning, this might just be the prototype’s production as a means of testing, as per a PhoneArena report.

Similarly, a previous report had also suggested that the company is planning on launching the Galaxy S21 series a month and a half earlier to make up for the lower than expected sales of the Galaxy S20 series. Furthermore, it is also being rumored that Samsung might be merging its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series of flagships to streamline its handset lineup and focus more on the Galaxy Z series of foldable devices.

The early launch of the Galaxy S21 is said to be an attempt to also take advantage of Huawei’s current predicament and fill in the gap in the market. While it is unclear when exactly the Galaxy S21 series will be launched, reports claim a January 2021 launch or even a late December 2020 launch as well. Unfortunately, we have no way of confirming this at the moment. The latest flagship devices from the company would likely sport Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 875 SoC and the Exynos 2100 processor, depending on the region. That is all we have to go on for now, so stay tuned for more updates.

Nov 2, 2020

Xiaomi has established itself in the power banks market and currently, the company has its third-generation power banks. So far, the Chinese company has launched a few different variants of Mi Power Bank 3 and today comes yet another.

The Xiaomi Mi Power Bank 3 Pikachu Edition has been launched in China, which has design elements of the iconic Pikachu character from the Pokemon series. The power bank is jointly made by Xiaomi and Baoke Dream.

In terms of design, the Mi Power Bank 3 Pikachu Edition comes in yellow color with an icon of Pikachu drawn in the middle. Apart from the design, there’s no much difference in terms of specification when compared to the standard model.

The power bank is of 10,000mAh capacity and supports dual-port 18W inputs. It comes with two input ports — micro-USB and USB Type-C. It supports maximum 18W input and takes around four hours to get fully charged.

There are also two USB-A output interfaces and both of them can be used at the same time, however, it supports a single 18W output. The company adds that the advanced circuit chips used not only keeps the power bank safe with several different protection mechanisms but also improves the conversion rate.

Additionally, the Mi Power Bank 3 Pikachu Edition comes with support for low-current mode as well, which enables users to charge Bluetooth-based wearable devices such as Mi Band, Mi Earbuds among others.

Battery charging test shows Mi 10 Ultra charges at 80W and not 120W

By

Nov 2, 2020

The Mi 10 Ultra by Xiaomi is one of few phones that supports 120W fast charging. It is also one of the few phones that support Quick Charge 5 which brings 100W+ fast charging.

Xiaomi ships the Mi 10 Ultra with a 120W GaN charger in the box, unlike some manufacturers that include a slower charger than the device supports or no charger at all. This means that if you purchase the Mi 10 Ultra, you can experience this ultra-fast charging technology right away.

A battery charging test to see how fast the phone charges has revealed that the Mi 10 Ultra charges at a slower rate, actually a much slower rate but one that is still faster than most of the devices on the market.

The battery charging test was carried out by the folks at Android Authority and they discovered that the M1 10 Ultra actually charges at just 80W compared to the 120W advertised by Xiaomi.

The test revealed that the charger begins drawing 92.3W of power when first plugged in but then falls to 86.4W for the most part of the charging duration. The power received at the handset itself is 80.1W which, of course, is really fast, taking just 21 minutes to fully charge from empty. The phone was also charged with an 18W adapter and that took 68 minutes to fully charge.

For those concerned about battery temperature, the peak temperature at 80W is 43.8°C which is higher than the ideal temperature of 40°C. This peak temperature will be much higher if the phone actually charged closer to 120W. The phone was also charged at 50W which took 29 minutes from empty to full and at a peak temperature of 39.1°C. That sure is a small difference in charging time seeing as there is a 30W difference between the power ratings.

It is important to state that the Mi 10 Ultra doesn’t maintain a high temperature all through the charging duration when charging at 80W. The temperature falls when the battery level gets to 70%.

At 80W, the Mi 10 Ultra does charge pretty fast, much faster than most phones. However, we are sure folks will be pretty disappointed at the fact that it doesn’t actually charge at 120W, which, to be honest, is probably better for the phone’s battery health.

The source also reveals that users will also get a free USB-C charging cable and a 10% discount on other repairs.

It has also been revealed that Sony has promised that Xperia 1 II flagship will receive a total of three OS upgrades. This should definitely be good news for owners of the Sony flagship seeing as some other manufacturers such as Samsung have also announced three OS upgrades for their flagships.

The Xperia 1 II is yet to get the Android 11 update but its latest update brings October’s security patch to the phone. The Xperia 5 II, its second flagship, is also yet to get the Android 11 update.

Apple decided to remove the charging adapter from the iPhone 12 retail box in a bid to help in conserving the planet. The “gesture” was even extended to the older models like the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2020. This decision no doubt created a lucrative market for third-party accessories manufacturers. Xiaomi has joined the league of OEMs that have launched a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) adapter that is compatible with the iPhone 12. The brand joins its ecological chain company ZMI which equally launched a 20W adapter for the iPhone 12. The 20W USB-C Fast charger is compatible with Apple mobile phones including the latest iPhone 12. The product is priced at 39 yuan (~$5) and will go on sale on November 3rd.

The charger can provide fast charging for Xiaomi 10 and iPhone 11, compatible with multiple fast charging protocols, and can also provide fast charging for devices such as Samsung S10, iPad Pro and Switch. The Xiaomi 20W Type-C charger has a white appearance and weighs 43.8g.

The Mi 20W Type-C charger uses high-precision resistance-capacitance sensing devices, supports over-voltage protection, over-current protection, short-circuit protection, over-temperature protection, and has the characteristics of anti-electromagnetic interference, low ripple, and resistance to static electricity

Honor V40 Series Specifications tipped; likely to launch in December

Nov 1, 2020

Honor V40 series is expected to debut soon and now we might have its specifications. A tipster on Twitter shares key features of the series and says the device will debut next month.

The specifications shared by @RODENT950 on Twitter show a significant upgrade on the V40 series over the Honor V30 series from 2019. According to him, the new V40 series will have two models- V40 Pro, V40 Pro+. Now that’s unlike the V30 series which had the V30 and V30 Pro. In Honor’s defense, it could just be looking to capitalize on the hype of the Mate 40 series with similar naming. That said, we aren’t sure if there’s a vanilla V40 variant just like the predecessor.

Honor V40 Series- Specifications(Expected)

Moving on, the series will likely boast of a 6.72-inch FHD+ curved display. And support the ubiquitous 120Hz refresh rate. Again, this negates the flat-display present on the V30 series. Next, as per his tip, the processors will be different for the V40 Pro, and V40 Pro+. The V40 Pro will have the MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ SoC. And the V40 Pro+ will likely have Huawei’s Kirin 9000 SoC. This is once again, unlike the V30 series where both featured the same Kirin 990 SoC.

Besides, the V40 series will likely get an upgrade in camera with a 50MP main lens which could be the Sony IMX700 RYYB lens like Honor 30 Pro+. Although we don’t know if it’ll retain the triple setup or go quad. Also, it is said to sport a dual-lens setup at the front inside the pill-shaped cutout. If the report is true, the V40 series will also get a bump up in charging and come with a 66W SuperCharge and get the 40W Wireless Charging as well.

That said, we can expect other features like Glass build, stereo speakers, USB-C ports, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Dual-SIM, and more. Of course, these specifications may/may not differ in the final versions. So, let’s wait for an official word from Honor.

realme launched the realme X7 Pro 5G alongside the realme X7 5G in China last month. The device has been getting multiple certifications(NBTC, NCC) before a probable global launch. Now, it has been listed on India’s BIS certification website as well.

Tipster Sudhanshu on Twitter has shared the BIS listing of the upcoming Realme smartphone. It shows the model number RMX2121 and it seems to be granted on October 22. However, on digging through the BIS database, we couldn’t independently verify it. That said, the model number resonates with the realme X7 Pro 5G from the earlier NBTC certification and China launch. This BIS listing, along with Madhav’s recent tweet suggests that the device might not be far away from an imminent launch.

Besides, India is not the only country where the device is heading. Countries like Thailand, Taiwan, and the majority of Europe are likely to get the series soon. Recently, the device received Thailand’s NBTC and Taiwan’s NCC certifications. NBTC was a mere model number listing whereas NCC certification had shown the images(front, rear), batteries(2250mAhx2), and charger(65W). And it mostly looks similar to the Chinese model but we will have to wait and see if it gets any new color or storage variant.

Realme X7 Pro 5G Specifications

Anyway, realme X7 Pro 5G comes in China has three colors- Xingyu Black, Gradient Color, and Fantasy White. It features a 6.55-inch sAMOLED 120Hz display, MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ SoC paired with up to 8 GB of LPDDR4x RAM, and 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. For optics, we have a quad-camera setup with a 64MP main lens, an 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP macro, and depth lenses. A 32MP sensor tucked underneath the punch-hole for selfies.

Other features include an in-display fingerprint sensor, 4,500mAh battery with 65W fast charging, SA/NSA 5G, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi, 4K video recording, dual-frequency GPS, NFC, stereo speakers, and more. It runs Realme UI based on Android 10 out of the box.

Huawei launched the Huawei Mate 40 series in China on October 30. Soon after the launch, Jingdong(JD.com), Tmall opened the official sales of the series as promised. As expected, the device has received a huge response on initial sales and is already out of stock in many places.

A report by MyDrivers says that JD.com opened the sale of the Huawei Mate 40 series at 18:00 China time on October 30. Accordingly, all the devices got sold out in just 11 seconds. And if the report is true, the first sale recorded 100 million sales in just 8 seconds on Jingdong. Similarly, Tmall’s sales clocked a record time of 20 seconds. To celebrate the insane response for Huawei’s new smartphones, JD.com flew hundreds of drones over its HQ last night.

The report says that hundreds of drones lined up in the drone show to form words like “JDxHuawei”, “Kirin 9000“. And shapes of Mate 40 series camera ring, and more. you can take a look at them below:

1 of 3

Apparently, there was a 600% increase in opting for the one-hour quick service while buying these devices. The e-commerce company also has offers like a one-hour service, a 30-day return policy, a one-year battery replacement, trade-in. Additionally, people who by the RS Porsche Design will get JZD customized services, special vehicles with prioritized in-line delivery.

Offline pre-orders: Huawei stores

That said, another report says many models of the Huawei Mate 40 series are already out of stock. A visit by China Security news reveals pre-orders on the Shanghai Official Huawei store are open only for White, Black versions of Mate 40 Pro. However, Mate 40 Pro+ and RS Porsche Design are out of stock.

A similar situation prevails for official/experience stores in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and many others. Also, the models, which can be pre-ordered, don’t have an exact delivery date. And two of Huawei Authorized stores in Beijing have gone to the extent of suspending the reservations of the series.

As per a staff in the Chengdu store, huge supply scarcity is due to very early bookings that go as far as July/August. Looks like Huawei is crushing it with initial sales, and we will have to wait for a bit to know the exact sale numbers.

Redmi to launch three new Redmi Note 9 phones in China and not the Redmi Note 10

Nov 1, 2020

The Redmi Note 9 series currently boasts five models and is a tad confusing already but it appears the family is about to get larger and not with one model but three new ones.

There have been reports of the Redmi Note 10 series but the Xiaomi subsidiary isn’t done yet with the Redmi Note 9 series. According to the Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, the Redmi Note 9 series will be getting three new models this month.

The new phones will be announced by the middle of November, and one of them will come with the 108MP Samsung ISOCELL HM2 sensor announced in September.

The Chinese Communications Commission has certified two Redmi phones with model numbers M2007J22C and M2007J17C. The former supports 22.5W fast charging while the latter supports 33W fast charging. However, both devices have support for 5G.

According to ITHome, the one with the faster charging is a Pro model of the other. The Chinese tech blog also reports that the phone will be the first Snapdragon 750G phone in China

It is important to state that the current Redmi Note 9 lineup didn’t launch in China. However, we strongly believe that these new models may eventually get a global release but under a different name. As for the Redmi Note 10 series, that should come later but we won’t bet on it launching this year.
