Aug 10, 2020

A new report has revealed that the much sought after 5nm process from TSMC has been majorly divided between 8 major customers. This includes Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, NVIDIA, MediaTek, Intel, Bitmain, and Altera.

Apple has a strong demand for the new 5nm process for its upcoming A14 and A14X Bionic chips and MacBook processors. At the moment, it is estimated that the company had ordered 40,000 to 45,000 5nm process capacity in the first quarter of 2020. Furthermore, Qualcomm is also stepping into 5nm chips with its next flagship Snapdragon 875 processors. Similarly, MediaTek is also planning on launching the next generation of its Dimensity chips, which will start production in Q4 2020.

TSMC is the world’s largest contract chipmaker and semiconductor foundry. It is one of the first to transition to the 5nm process and is also working on the smaller 3nm process as well. Notably, the 5nm process orders that Samsung had received from Qualcomm has been reportedly lost to TSMC. This marks another loss for the South Korean tech giant which has been trying to catch up to the Taiwanese firm.

Also, there are multiple themes and AOD styles based on Mitu in “MIUI Themes” store. Further, just like any other company with a mascot, Xiaomi also sells figurines (action figures) of Mi Bunny.

Indian Smartphone Market sees a massive decline of 50.6% YoY in Q2 2020, expected to recover in H2

Aug 10, 2020

A new report from IDC (International Data Corporation) has revealed that the Indian smartphone market has seen a sharp decline of 50.6 percent to 18.2 million units being shipped in the second quarter of 2020.

The primary reason for the sizeable decline was the Coronavirus pandemic and the government mandated lockdown that was in effect, majorly throughout the first half of 2020. Various smartphones OEMs had to shut down their local manufacturing/assembly lines in the region, while resumption occurred only in partial capacities as well. Furthermore, components from abroad were also stuck at the ports, waiting to be cleared, especially the ones from China.

However, sales in June 2020 did rise but mainly due to the pent up demand that rose during the lockdown period. Although, purchases were found to be mainly driven by availability rather than choice. In this period, the online channels held a high market share of 44.8 percent but declined by 39.9 percent YoY. The average selling price of smartphones was around 161 US Dollars with Xiaomi leading the smartphone market, followed by Samsung and Vivo.

Even physical stores adapted as “Many offline channel partners adopted new ways of marketing by reaching out to consumers through social media platforms, WhatsApp, references, etc., for doorstep demos and deliveries, as well as accepting contactless payments. However, these initiatives were limited to big and medium-size retail outlets in metros and Tier 1/2 cities, and was not able to arrest the steep annual decline of -56.8% for the offline channel,” according to a researcher at IDC.

TikTok is suing the Trump administration to challenge the app ban

Aug 10, 2020

TikTok is apparently filing a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration as soon as Tuesday (11th August 2020). The lawsuit arrives after the US President Donald Trump passed an executive order banning the short video sharing app in the US.

The lawsuit is being filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of California, which is where TikTok’s American operations are based. A person close to the matter revealed this information which was reported on by US media and South China Morning Post. Reportedly, TikTok will argue that the President’s actions are “unconstitutional because it failed to give the company a chance to respond and that the US government’s national-security justification for the order is baseless.”

The ByteDance owned social media platform expressed its surprise on Friday in a blog post and is seeking every and any possible options at the moment, including going to US Courts. Interestingly, there have also been talks regarding Twitter and TikTok considering a possible merger, according to a previous report. Although, it is still unclear if Twitter will actually pursue a deal to acquire TikTok’s US operations.

Trump has recently also signed an executive order which would prevent US residents and companies from doing business with TikTok and Tencent Holding’ WeChat app. The recent moves have all been aimed towards increasing steps and a campaign against China, right before the November 2020 elections. However, it would also cause millions of American TikTok users to be upset, especially those that built careers on the platform.

In the weekend, we reported Huawei to be working on a number of products including three smartphones, a foldable, a TWS, and a smartwatch. That leak only exposed the codenames of these upcoming devices and nothing else. Now, the same source reveals the codename of Mate 40 Pro and the software it will launch with.

Huawei has been working on EMUI 11 for a very long time. The existence of it was first sported in early May, just little over a month after the announcement of EMUI 10.1. Now, a new tip by Evan Blass aka @evleaks says Huawei Mate 40 Pro will be the first smartphone to launch with the company’s new software.

According to the popular leakster, the HUAWEI Mate40 Pro is codenamed “Noah”. Unfortunately, he did not mention the codenames of the other three models in the series.

But he did say that only the Pro variant will launch with EMUI 11, whereas the non-Pro will come with EMUI 10.x (EMUI 10.1?). If this happens to be true, then for the first time ever, we will witness the launch of a new HUAWEI Mate series with different software onboard across models.

Nothing else is known about EMUI 11 except for the fact that it will be released in Q3 2020 with distributed technology.

Toshiba officially steps away from the laptop business

Aug 10, 2020

Toshiba, the Japan-based company which has been in the PC business for about 35 years, has now officially quit the laptop business. The company has sold its remaining 19.9 percent stake in Dynabook laptop brand to Sharp.

It’s noteworthy that a couple of years ago, in 2018, the company had sold 80.1 percent of its PC business to Sharp for $36 million. Soon after that, Sharp renamed the business to Dynabook. It is being reported that Sharp exercised right to buy the remaining 19.1 percent stake in June and the deal was closed in August.

Toshiba was a global player and a pioneer in the PC industry. The company was also among the first to introduce commercially available laptops in the 1980s. The company was thriving with its Satellite, Portégé, and Qosmio lines of laptops.

However, with the shrinking PC market share worldwide and misaligned focus on features, the company was finding it difficult to survive. The competition has also increased in the sector with the likes of HP and Dell ruling the market.

Once among the leaders in the laptop market, Toshiba’s share of the PC market when it sold its stake to Sharp had gone down significantly. The company sold 17.7 million PCs in 2011 while in 2017, the numbers were down to just 1.4 million units.

According to the report from Garter, HP is currently the leading PC maker in the U.S. with about 33 percent market share, followed by Dell having a market share of 26 percent. Globally, in Q2 2020, Lenovo took the lead with a 25 percent market share while HP stands second with a 24.9 percent market share.

Qualcomm seeks to supply 5G chips to Huawei, lobbies US Government

Aug 10, 2020

The known chipmaker, Qualcomm, is reportedly lobbying the US Government to allow it to supply Huawei with chips for its 5G smartphones. According to a Wall Street Journal report, the chipmaker is trying to sell its 5G chips to the Chinese tech giant, which might end up helping American companies.

In its efforts, Qualcomm stated that the ban on Huawei isn’t preventing the company from acquiring necessary parts and is rather driving “billions of dollars” of possible US sales to foreign chip makers like Samsung and MediaTek. In other words, lifting the ban could actually end up helping American companies, making them more competitive.

The US chipmaker also stated that there could be a “rapid shift in 5G chipset market share,” considering the restriction placed on them and not on their rivals. Furthermore, the company has been open about wanting to include Huawei as one of its customers, selling chips to every smartphone OEM, “including Huawei.”

At the moment, a few companies have received the license to conduct business with Huawei, like Intel, Micron, and Xilinx. Although Qualcomm isn’t looking for a massive change, the exemption being granted to the company might still be seen as a major weakening of the ban. Huawei’s smartphone operation is one of its key businesses and this could also come off as inconsistent, considering Google is still restricted from providing GMS support in Android smartphones from Huawei.

Apple removing WeChat from App Store may have iPhone shipments fall by 30% in China: Kuo

Aug 10, 2020

Apple being forced to remove the popular messaging app, WeChat, from its global App Store could have its iPhone shipments drop by up to 30 percent in the Chinese market.

According to the known analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, and a report from MacRumors, Apple’s annual iPhone shipments could see a sizeable decline in China in a worst case scenario. After a recent executive order that sought to ban US transactions with WeChat and its parent company Tencent was passed, the Cupertino based giant might have to remove the messaging app from its App Stores across the globe.

Ming-Chi Kuo presented two possible outcomes that covered an optimistic and pessimistic scenario, which depends on whether or not Apple has to remove WeChat from just its US App Store or in its entire global App Store. For those unaware, WeChat is a popular Chinese messaging application that is especially successful in China. A global ban would be devastating to Apple, due to its popularity in China.

Kuo stated that “Because WeChat has become a daily necessity in China, integrating functions such as messaging, payment, e-commerce, social networking, news reading, and productivity, if this is the case, we believe that Apple’s hardware product shipments in the Chinese market will decline significantly. We estimate that the annual ‌iPhone‌ shipments will be revised down by 25–30%, and the annual shipments of other Apple hardware devices, including AirPods, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, will be revised down by 15–25%.”

In the first quarter of 2019, Vivo introduced a new sub-brand called iQOO to offer “flagship-killer” smartphones. The young brand is only over a year old but it has officially become a partner of BMW M Motorsport for the 2020 DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) season.

BBK Electronics’ brands are well-known for sponsoring a variety of sporting events for marketing. Vivo was the title sponsor of IPL (Indian Premier League), a popular cricket league in the country from 2015. Unfortunately, the company had to drop the partnership for the 2020 season due to rising tensions between India and China.

Additionally, the company also scrapped its partnership with the NBA last year due to the Hong Kong protests. But it will still continue to sponsor FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.

Though Vivo has lost sponsorships for two of the most popular sporting events within a year, its sub-brand iQOO signs its first-ever sponsorship for an international sporting event.

The iQOO partnership with BMW M Motorsport is only for the 2020 DTM league. On this occasion, the brand may launch a limited edition iQOO 5 smartphone scheduled to launch on August 17.

iQOO is yet to enter Europe. With the new BMW partnership, the brand seems to be laying the foundation for launching officially in the region.

Even though the smartphone sales have been on a decline this year because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the year is clearly of 5G smartphones. It has now become a norm for the companies to offer 5G connectivity on their devices.

With 5G going mainstream, the companies are now looking to lower the pricing. In line with this, Coolpad is set to launch a new smartphone named Coolpad X10 which is claimed to be the first 5G smartphone priced at just 1,000 yuan (~$144).

The company will reportedly launch the smartphone on 12th August at 3:00 PM local time in China through an online event. On top of that, at the same time, Coolpad Group, Tianyi Telecom, and Unigroup Zhanrui will also sign strategic cooperation.

The upcoming Coolpad X10 will be supported by China Telecom and use the domestic 5G chip from Unigroup Zhanrui’s Unisoc Tiger Ben T7510. The chipset is manufactured using a 12nm process and packs quad-core A75 CPU + quad-core A55 CPU. There’s also the PowerVR GM9446 graphics processor.

It supports a downlink of 2Gbps and an uplink of 1Gbps. This will be the second smartphone to be powered by the Tiger Ben T7510 SoC, after Hisense F50. Other features of the device will be revealed at the time of launch.

This is an interesting development given that Coolpad is said to have launched the first 4G smartphone priced at 1,000 yuan when the industry was shifting from 2G and 3G to 4G. It also launched the first dual-SIM dual-standby 4G phone.

Coolpad was among the leading Chinese smartphone maker but with the cut-throat competition, the company match up the market demands and almost left the smartphone business. Now, it seems that the company is determined to make a solid comeback. Let’s just wait and see how this goes.
