Semiconductor based firms in China are hiring South Korean engineers to strengthen their domestic semiconductor industry and supply chains. The move likely arrives after pressure from recent US sanctions that threaten the existing suppliers.

According to a BusinessKorea report, a South Korean headhunting company is looking for semiconductor etching experts for a Chinese company. Apparently, the job opportunity ad states that it is for a well known foreign company and is recruiting engineers with a master’s degree or higher who has worked as a section chief in the etching or plasma field.

For those unaware, etching is a process of drawing patterns on semiconductor circuits. In the semiconductor industry, this process has become increasingly more complex and important as production processes are now measured in nanometers. Similarly, another recruitment site has posted ads that state, “We will give preferential treatments to former engineers of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.”

These ads also promise exceptional working conditions with high salaries, good housing, and guarantee of international school for worker’s children. An industry insider stated that “I understand that Chinese companies are trying to contact employees of Samsung Electronics’ NAND flash plant in Xian, China, or SK Hynix’s DRAM plant in Wuxi to secure semiconductor human resources. The move from the Chinese semiconductor firms is likely due to the ongoing crisis caused by US sanctions, which have already restricted crucial chip supply from Huawei.

Aug 26, 2020

Earlier this week, TSMC unveiled a new roadmap for the next two years in its annual conference. In this event, the world’s largest contract chipmaker shared some interesting things, like working on setting up a new foundry for 2nm chip, according to a GSMArena report.

TSMC has already started work on its 2nm foundry and is already building a new factory and research and development center. The company will employ around 8,000 people to help achieve the evolution from 3nm chips that are expected to arrive in the consumer market by the end of 2022. Notably, YP Chin, the company’s senior VP confirmed that TSMC has already purchased land in Hsinchu to expand its research and development center.

Furthermore, the 2nm process node will be developed on the GAA (gate all around) technology rather than its FinFET solution, which is being used for the 3nm fab. The technology is the next step in the semiconductor industry. Similarly, Samsung has already announced plans on using GAA for its 3nm process technology by 2022. So, TSMC entering the race is a good sign of competition in the next generation of chip manufacturing.

A lite variant of HUAWEI Router 2 Pro from July 2019 has launched in China by the name of HUAWEI Mobile Router. The new model is not only smaller in dimensions (125 x 198 x 25mm vs 219 x 138 x 25.6mm) but it is also lighter in weight (246g vs 325g). Further, it also comes equipped with NFC for HUAWEI Share One-Touch Connect functionality, which is absent on the older model. It will be available for pre-order in the country starting September 1 for an undisclosed price.

The newly launched HUAWEI Mobile Router features a similar design as the HUAWEI Router 2 Pro and even shares most of its features except for the ones listed above. It only comes in a single white color option.

Talking about specs, it is powered by HiSilicon Balong 711 chipset and supports only 2.4GHz WiFi with 2 x 2 MIMO and 300Mbps maximum transmission rate. It can be also used to create wired networks with the help of 1 x Gigabit WAN/LAN adaptive interface (RJ45) and 3 x Gigabit LAN interfaces (RJ45).

As the name suggests, it uses a 4G nano-SIM card instead of fiber or broadband connection for input. Hence, it can be used anywhere where there is sufficient LTE coverage as well as power supply.

The company is yet to reveal the price of HUAWEI Mobile Router but is it worth over the other model? Actually, it will depend on its price because it lacks 5GHz WiFi and Gigabit WiFi. However, it is a tad bit smaller, lighter, and features One-Touch connect.

There’s no word on international availability. Hence, if you are interested in it, then you will have to import it from China.

Tesla becomes the top selling EV brand in China, takes orders for Shanghai made Model Y SUVs

Aug 26, 2020

Tesla, a known automobiles maker, has become the top seller of electric vehicles in China for the first half of this year. The Elon Musk owned company saw great success with its China made Model 3 series, which gave consumers an affordable entry into luxury cars, and is starting to take orders for Shanghai built Model Y as well.

In the Chinese market, Tesla managed to double its sales of about 50,000 vehicles from 2019. This news arrives despite the world’s electric vehicle market declining by about 50 percent in the same period, down to 235,000 vehicles sold. According to a Nikkei report, Tesla’s market share jumped from 6 percent to 21 percent, with the majority of this boost coming from the Model 3 sedan.

Tesla began shipping the Model 3 from its Shanghai factory back in January 2020 and it is the company’s most affordable vehicle that goes for about 270,000 Yuan (roughly 39,000 US Dollars). This is after subsidies are applied, which lowered the cost of the same model imported from the US by more than 30 percent. Buyers were also drawn in by the fact that a used Tesla vehicle retains its value better than other electric vehicles.

Furthermore, the company is showing no signs of stopping as it has begun taking orders of another vehicle it built in its Shanghai factory, namely Model Y series SUVs. According to a CaixinGlobal report, the new SUVs will arrive in two different variants, including the long range version and the performance version. The former is priced at 488,000 yuan (roughly 70,800 US Dollars) while the latter is priced at 535,000 yuan (roughly 77,700 US Dollars). The long range variant can travel up to 505 kilometers on a single charge and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kph in 5.1 seconds while the performance variant can reach up to 480 kilometers but can accelerate to 100 kph in only 3.7 seconds.

Aug 26, 2020

TikTok reportedly reached out to Netflix regarding a possible acquisition deal. However, it seems like the popular entertainment streaming platform declined, showing no interest in purchasing the short video sharing service app.

With TikTok facing pressure from the Trump administration, the popular social media platform has to either sell itself or face a ban. Furthermore, ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, is in talks with Microsoft and Oracle regarding a possible acquisition for US operations. Meanwhile, TikTok has also sued the Trump administration to prevent the banning of the app before its deadline.

The lawsuit aims at achieving a stay order to allow the company to continue operations as it continues to negotiate with prospective buyers while also reaching out to others like Netflix. However, the streaming service is said to have declined according to a Screen Rant report. At the moment, the social media app is valued somewhere between 10 to 50 billion US Dollars, although, this may fluctuate considering it is under political pressure and is forced into a vulnerable position.

Huawei enters ‘Survival Mode’ with suppliers rushing to beat US deadline

Aug 26, 2020

With the US deadline fast approaching, Huawei and its suppliers are rushing to meet the shipping goals for mobile chips for the Chinese tech giant. An industry source close to the matter has revealed that the company is fighting for survival after pressures from recent US sanctions.

According to a Nikkei report, Huawei Technologies is stockpiling 5G mobile processors, WiFi, radio frequency, display drivers, and other key components from chip developers. The suppliers include major names like MediaTek, Realtek, Novatek RichWave, and more. The race to meet the shipping goals arrives as the US deadline is right around the corner.

For those unaware, the US government had previously announced on 17th August 2020 that foreign chipmakers are banned from supplying chips that use American technology to the Chinese smartphone maker. To do so, one must acquire a special license issued by the government. However, to account for existing orders, the suppliers were permitted to complete such transactions but with a deadline that lasts only till midnight of 14th September 2020, which is less than a month away now.

Analysts have predicted that Huawei’s smartphone shipments could possibly fall by as much as 75 percent next year if it runs out of these crucial parts. Thus, to meet the tight schedule and deadline, chipmakers have agreed to ship half-finished products or wafers that have note been tested or assembled. Generally, complex integrated circuits built on to wafers which are then processed for packaging and testing when chips are made.

A source stated that “It’s not unusual for Huawei to call suppliers at 4 a.m. or have conference calls at midnight recently. Huawei is in a chaotic survival mode now, and changing its own plans constantly recently.” While another industry insider said that “We will fully comply with U.S. regulation but try to meet customer’s needs. … We have only three weeks left that we can ship products to Huawei, so we will ship some finished chip products as well as some half-finished products or chip wafers just out of the plant that have not yet been packaged and tested.”

The tabs in the group can easily collapse, expand, or drag-and-drop them. They also pop-up any time the Chrome browser is closed or reopened. This is just one of the features that the company is adding with the newer version.

Google has also introduced Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) and tab throttling features that should make the tabs load up to 1- percent faster. PGO allows some parts of the code to run faster while tab throttling distributes resources from inactive tabs to the active tabs.

The company is also planning to soon add support for touchscreen controls on the Chrome web browser, allowing laptop users in tablet mode to swipe through the tabs. However, the feature will first be added for Chromebooks and later add support for other devices.

Aug 26, 2020

While reports have surfaced that LG is working on a smartphone codenamed “Wing,” we didn’t have much to go on despite rumors of it featuring dual displays. Now, Android Authority has recently shared a new video that showcases the device live in action which offers us a first look at the upcoming smartphone.

Looking at the video, it seems that the device showcased is a near final version of the LG Wing. In other words, the launch of the handset shouldn’t be too far away. Furthermore, the video also offers us a better look at the device with both of its displays being utilized. For those unaware, LG Wing is an upcoming mid range handset from the South Korean tech giant which features a dual display with one screen swiveling sideways to reveal the secondary screen underneath.

In the video, the primary display can be seen offering navigation to the user, while the second one offered a look at the media player, which played the music, later, a call stops the music and appears on the secondary screen. This enabled the maps to still function normally, allowing the person in the video to simply pick up the call without needing to cycle between applications.

This iteration of dual displays from LG is different from their previous launches of similar smartphones like the G8X and V60. But unlike a detachable secondary display, this dual screen is a part of the smartphone itself. Unfortunately, finer details like price and specifications are currently unknown, however, rumors have pointed at a Snapdragon 700 series chip (likely the SD765G), a triple camera module on the rear, and a price a bit higher than the LG Velvet.

Samsung has witnessed a dip in the shipment of devices in recent times, mostly because of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the company has been missing targets when it comes to smartphones, Samsung appears to be confident when it comes to Smart TVs.

The South Korean giant has said that it is expecting to ship more than 100,000 units of its larger TVs by the end of August. The larger TV in this includes those models with a screen size of 75-inch or larger, reports The Elec.

The company has also released a new commercial for the QLED 8K TV models showcasing how big the TV units are how it proves an immersive home theatre experience. Samsung is planning to launch more ads for the larger-sized TVs to drive the point home.

The development comes just months after the company had said that it is positive about achieving its TV sales target for the year. This means that Samsung expects to ship 45 million units of Smart TVs by the end of 2020, despite the COVID-19 pandemic which was the reason for the fall in shipments by 60 percent YoY in the first half of the year.

In related news, Samsung is planning to launch its own lineup of Mini LED Smart TVs sometime next year. This will be yet another premium TV series from the company, which already has two lineups in this segment — QLED and Micro LED.

Apple, which usually launches its new iPhone models in the month of September, will not be following the schedule this time for the iPhone 12 series because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company also confirmed that the iPhone 12 models launching this year will be “available a few weeks later.”

However, as the launch nears, more and more details about the smartphones keep surfacing online. In the latest development, YouTuber Jon Prosser has revealed details about the display and camera features.

He claims that the bezels around the display for the Apple iPhone 12 Pro model are noticeably thinner. He has also added that the display is slightly bigger which makes the notch “appear” smaller.

Further, he adds that the Face ID works from wider angles and the rear camera module is around 10 percent larger. The iPhone 12 Pro Max, on the other hand, will come with a LiDAR camera, having LiDAR-assisted autofocus.

The smartphone will also come with a 120Hz refresh rate and the company will offer an option for the users to enable the high refresh rate or adaptive refresh rate. It comes with a flat display and there’s still the pill-shaped notch on top.

As for the launch of the iPhone 12 models, it is being reported that the launch event could take place on 12th October, with pre-booking starting the same week and shipments of the base model beginning a week after that.

But it seems that not all the models will go on sale together. It is being reported that while iPhone 12 will be available for purchase in October itself, other models in the lineup, including the iPhone 12 Pro, will go on sale in November.

Earlier, Jon Prosser had said that the Apple Watch Series 6 and the unspecified iPad model will be announced without any launch event in September. This is interesting because Apple has traditionally launched the new Apple Watch along with the iPhone.
