The Huawei Mate 40 series’ launch is edging closer and, with it, new rumors are surfacing. Now, the latest one suggests that the flagship lineup will have a total of four total variants, including a new Mate 40 Pro+.

According to a Weibo (Chinese microblogging website) blogger @鹏鹏君驾到, the company will launch four smartphone models under the Mate 40 lineup. This includes the base Mate 40, the higher end Mate 40 Pro, the new top offering Mate 40 Pro+, and a Mate 40 Porsche Special Edition. Notably, Huawei had also launched a P40 Pro+ within its flagship P40 lineup earlier this year. So, the rumor does hold some ground and is possible.
Furthermore, the Chinese tech giant’s entire flagship series will support 5G networking, with the company currently working on stepping up manufacturing and conducting key debugging phases. Huawei is apparently also working on a few new features as well that will improve its product’s performance, boost system optimization, and more. Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed rumor, so take it with a grain of salt for now and stay tuned for more updates.
Xiaomi announced a new Gray color variant of Mi 10 in its home country China. This version of the handset will be available starting tomorrow (July 31) in the region. Unfortunately, it is not known in which storage configuration this color option will be made available.
The Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro are the most expensive commercially available flagship smartphones from Xiaomi. The major difference between the two is their camera setup. Though both of them have the same 108MP primary sensors, the accompanying sensors are different from each other.
The duo was unveiled in February of this year. The regular Mi 10 was introduced in three colors namely “Coral Green”, “Twilight Gray”, “Peach Gold”. Now, after 5 months from its launch, the device is getting a fourth color in China.
Xiaomi calls this color as “Guofeng Ya Gray” (Country Style Elegant Gray) and it is different than the already available “Twilight Gray” variant. This color looks more like the new Liquid Silver Redmi 10X Pro but with a matte finish.
Having said that, it is not known if this color variant of Mi 10 will be made available in international markets. The probability of Xiaomi launching them can be considered next to zero as the Mi 10 series start at €799/₹49,999 competing directly against Samsung, Apple, and OnePlus in these regions.
In the second quarter of this year in China, while Huawei continued dominating the local smartphone market, Apple has seen a surge in demand for iPhones. As per the report, the company has witnessed a 225 percent quarterly growth in sales volume.
The reason is being attributed to price cuts as the Chinese market is slowing recovering from weak demand because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For the quarter that ended in June, Apple sold 13 million units of iPhone in China, reports research firm CINNO.

The numbers represent an increase of four million units compared to the previous quarter. A recent report from Counterpoint Research claims that Apple was the fastest-growing major smartphone brand in China for the second quarter, with 32 percent growth.
For Apple, Greater China, including Mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, is the third-largest geographical market, after America and Europe. In the first three months that ended March 28, the company recorded total China sales of $9.46 billion, showing a decline of $1 billion from a year ago, mainly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Q2 2020, Apple was the fourth-largest smartphone vendor in China, behind Huawei, Vivo, and OPPO but ahead of Xiaomi, reports Counterpoint. Huawei, combined with Honor, has captured around 46 percent of China’s smartphone market.
At the height of COVID-19, Chinese smartphone sales declined 22 percent in the first quarter. The market is now slowing recovering and research firm CINNO estimates that smartphone sales in China have reached 94 million units in June.
Samsung has been hard at work to catch up and compete with TSMC, the world’s leading chipset manufacturer. The company has been putting in efforts to boost its chipset production and has now started mass-producing 5nm chipset.
In a recent announcement regarding the company’s Q2 2020 performance, the South Korean giant confirmed that it has begun mass-production of 5nm chipsets. Further, the company revealed that it is also working on 4nm chipsets.
The development is in line with the company’s earlier announcement of starting mass production of 5nm chipset by the end of Q2 2020. The company reveals that it has also strengthened the foundation for expansion by starting investments in production lines in the Pyeongtaek complex.
For those who are unaware, the Pyeongtaek complex in South Korea is the new chipset production facility from Samsung which will be focusing on making 5nm chips. The company has planned to invest around KRW 10 trillion ($8.1 billion) in this facility.
The new facility is responsible for making AI-powered (artificial intelligence), high-end smartphones, and HPC (high-performing computing) chips. Samsung’s plan is to diversify applications into HPC and consumer products to improve profitability.
On the other hand, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has already started manufacturing 5nm chipsets for Apple. The chipset, Apple A14, will be powering the company’s upcoming iPhone 12 lineup.
The company will reportedly use Exynos 1000 SoC for the upcoming Galaxy S-series flagship smartphones, which will be manufactured using the 5nm process. Not only that, but Samsung has also reportedly bagged orders for mass production of Qualcomm Snapdragon 875G and Snapdragon 735G chipsets on 5nm node.
Samsung is among the very few smartphone companies to build its own chipsets. The South Korean giant has ambitious plans for the future and aims to become the leading semiconductor company in the world by 2030.
Samsung has been dominating the smartphone market worldwide and has been a leader for the past many years. Well, that has now changed, at least for the second quarter of this year. According to the report from Canalys, Huawei has overtaken Samsung to become the leading smartphone brand globally in Q2 2020.
This is an impressive performance from Huawei, which managed to become the world’s leading smartphone brand in terms of shipments, despite being banned in the United States and facing heat in other markets.
The report adds that for the period of April 2020 to June 2020, Huawei shipped 55.8 million units. On the other hand, Samsung managed to ship 53.7 million units. This shows how strong is Huawei’s foothold in its home market.
Huawei’s two-third smartphones are being sold in its home market, China. Also, Huawei, along with its sub-brand Honor, is dominating the Chinese smartphone market, capturing almost half of the market.
The company has around 46 percent of the market share in China, which is more than the combined total of Vivo, OPPO, and Xiaomi in the Chinese market. This is the highest market share for Huawei ever in China.
Globally, the sales of Huawei devices fell by 5 percent compared to the same period last year, but Samsung registered a 30 percent drop in sales for the same duration. This is likely because of weak demand in markets like the United States, Europe, and Brazil.
Recently, Huawei revealed that its revenue in the first half of this year grew 13.1 percent compared to the same period last year. The company managed to grow, despite the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic and sanctions from the United States.
It remains to be seen if Huawei manages to hold on to this leading smartphone position for the upcoming quarter as well. Samsung has new premium smartphones lined up for launch in the coming days and the company is also releasing mid-ranges devices at regular intervals, as it aims to grow its market share.

The device is equipped with a side-facing fingerprint reader. Since the Realme V5 is fueled the Dimensity 720 chipset, it is expected to launch as the cheapest 5G phone from the brand.
Tomorrow, Honor will be taking off covers from the Honor 9A and Honor 9S budget-friendly phones along with the Honor MagicBook 15 notebook in India. It is surprising to know that the Amazon India has already listed the Honor 9A. Reported first by FoneArena, the listing even allows users to make payments and purchase the device.
The listing states that the Honor 9A smartphone with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in storage is priced at Rs. 11,999 (~$160). It is unclear whether the pricing is correct as the product is yet to go official. However, it could be the actual price since the retailer is accepting its orders.
The specifications of the Honor 9A are already known since it debuted in China and Europe in recent months. The Honor 9A has a large-size display of 6.3 inches. It supports HD+ resolution and 20:9 aspect ratio. The Helio P22 fuels the device along with 3 GB of RAM. It has a built-in storage of 64 GB.

The Honor 9A, Honor 9S, and MagicBook 15 will be unveiled at 2 PM IST in India tomorrow. It is only available in Phantom Blue color.
A leaked shot that surfaced yesterday corroborated on a recent leak that claimed that Samsung’supcoming foldable phone will be called Galaxy Z Fold 2. The leaked image also revealed that its internal screen will have a punch-hole design. Popular tipster Ishan Agarwal in collaboration with MySmartPricehas shared the leaked press renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 2. The new renders not only showcase the design of the foldable phone, but also reveals its color variants.
The publication claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be available in two colors such as Mystic Black and Mystic Bronze. These color variants can be seen in the leaked press renders below.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be arriving as the successor for last year’s Galaxy Fold that debuted as Samsung’s first foldable smartphone. One major change that can be seen in the design of the internal display of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is that it does not feature a notch like the original device. The notch has been replaced by a punch-hole design to provide users with a higher screen-to-body ratio.
Another striking change that can be seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is that the South Korean company has reduced the bezels around the outer display. The exterior screen also sports a punch-hole design. Reports have claimed that the outer display measures 6.23 inches and supports 60Hz refresh rate and the internal screen delivers 120Hz refresh rate and measures 7.59 inches.
The rear side of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 features has a triple camera setup. It is said to include a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 64-megapixel shooter. It is likely to feature a 10-megapixel front camera. The Snapdragon 865+ will power the device with up to 12 GB of RAM. It may arrive in 256 GB and 512 GB storage options. It could be packed with a 4,365mAh dual-part battery that may come with 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging support. Speculations are rife that it may cost around $1,980.
OnePlus is a popular brand in India, and it is not surprising since the country is one of its major markets. However, the availability of its phones is an issue that has plagued the brand, which to an extent is caused by OnePlus itself. Now, the manufacturer may make it more difficult for buyers to purchase its phones with an order it has issued to retail partners.
According to the All India Mobile Retailer’s Association (AIMRA), OnePlus sent a mail to partner (offline) retailers to stop online sales. Apparently, these stores began selling their products online since the pandemic has prevented buyers from coming into stores, a move OnePlus supported. However, the Chinese manufacturer sent a mail to the retailers last week asking them to stop selling online.
The president of the AIMRA, Arvinder Khurana, said that customers will continue to make purchases online seeing as the pandemic isn’t over yet and several thousand new cases are announced each day. He added that they have requested OnePlus to roll back its decision to stop offline stores from online sales.
The Organised Retailers Association which is made up of 15 cellphone retail chains in South India also wrote a letter to OnePlus asking them to reconsider. They also condemned OnePlus’s tradition of making its phones exclusive to certain online partners first before making it available to other retail outlets later. The association said the “10 to 15 days gap in availability attracts very little traction, hence a big opportunity loss”.
A spokesman for OnePlus told The Economic Times that they value their relationship with offline partners and acknowledge their role in the success of OnePlus in the country. However, he didn’t say if the order will be rolled back or not.
Xiaomi is one of China’s biggest tech companies in China. With multiple divisions that include phones and TVs, it is not unusual for changes to be made in its leadership and organizational structure. One such change happened today with respect to who helms the mobile division.

The OPPO Reno4 Pro will be launching in India on Friday, July 31. The smartphone will be different from the Chinese version in more ways than one. For starters, it will not have 5G support. Leaked renders have also shown the device packs quad rear cameras. Now the price has leaked and it is not as affordable as expected.
According to a Twitter post by Abhisek Yadav (@yabhishekhd), the Reno4 Pro 4G will be priced around INR 32,990 (~$440) for the 8GB RAM +128GB version. That sure is really high when you realize that the phone packs a Snapdragon 720G processor, the same chipset inside phones like the Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max which are priced under INR 20,000 (~$267).
[ Exclusive ] Oppo Reno 4 Pro Will Be Priced Around ₹32,990 in India. Oppo Reno 4 Pro Will Compete Against Vivo X50 & Samsung A71s Oppo Reno 4 Pro Indian Variant Specifications. •Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G •90Hz/3D Amoled Display •8GB + 128 GB Storage Options (1/2) pic.twitter.com/GyJKg9uqEU
To be fair, the Reno4 Pro offers a lot more than the aforementioned phones in other areas such as its display being a curved Super AMOLED panel and having a 90Hz refresh rate. It also has support for 65W fast charging.
According to the leaker, OPPO’s new mid-ranger is challenging the Vivo X50 and the Samsung A71s. The 8GB+128GB Vivo X50 is selling for INR 34,990 (~$465) in India. That’s a little bit higher than the Reno4 Pro’s rumored price tag but it comes with the more powerful Snapdragon 765G processor and also has a 90Hz AMOLED display.
At this price, the Reno4 Pro is going to be facing some really stiff competition from a lot of phones including the OnePlus Nord that is INR 27,999 for the 8GB+128GB version.
Three flagship gaming phones made their debut in the same month. And two of them went official on the same day: Asus ROG Phone 3 and Lenovo Legion Duel (the latter is the very first gaming phone by Lenovo). A few days after, Nubia unveiled its new gaming device: the Red Magic 5S, which is an upgraded version of the Red Magic 5G released earlier this year in the global market. Is the Red Magic 5S at the same level as the most awaited gaming phones of the month or you would better consider the Asus and Lenovo solutions? This comparison between their specifications will clear your ideas in regards.
Nubia Red Magic 5S vs Asus ROG Phone 3 vs Lenovo Legion Duel
Dual SIM slot, RGB lights, 5G, triggers, cooling fan
Design
Nubia Red Magic 5S, Asus ROG Phone 3, and Lenovo Legion Duel are real gaming phone, so they come with a gaming-centric design. But you still get premium materials, including a glass back and an aluminum frame. The most interesting is the Lenovo Legion Duel because it was designed with landscape usage in mind. It sports a side-mounted pop-up camera for live streams and you can hold it while playing games without touching the rear cameras as they are placed at the center of the phone. Thanks to a secondary USB-C port placed at the side, you can even charge the phone while playing without touching the cable.
Display
These three phones offer the best displays you can get for gaming since they have the highest refresh rate even seen on a phone: 144 Hz. Among these devices, Asus ROG Phone 3 is the one which stands out due to its full DCI-P3 coverage, HDR10+ certification and a very high brightness. Its AMOLED panel should offer a better overall quality compared to its two rivals. Right after, there should be Lenovo Legion Duel with its 144 Hz and HDR10+ AMOLED panel. In each case, you also get stereo speakers and capacitive triggers.
Specs & Software
Asus ROG Phone 3 and Lenovo Legion Duel come with a stronger hardware since they are equipped with a better processor: the Snapdragon 865+ found on these two devices offers up to 10% performance boost compared to the Snapdragon 865 found on the Red Magic 5S. On the other hand, Nubia Red Magic 5S has a more advanced cooling system including silver cooling and a physical cooling fan running at 15,000 rpm. This should be enough to guarantee great results in long gaming sessions. Naturally, Android 10 is installed out of the box.
Camera
None of these devices is a real camera phone, but the most advanced camera setup belongs to the Asus ROG Phone 3 which sports a main 64 MP sensor, a 13 MP ultrawide camera and a 5 MP macro lens, as well as a good 24 MP selfie camera. Lenovo Legion Duel lacks the macro camera, but we believe it will click better photos (especially better selfies) than Nubia Red Magic 5S.
With its amazing 6000 mAh battery, the Asus ROG Phone 3 naturally lasts more on a single charge. The silver medal goes to the Lenovo Legion Duel with its 5000 mAh battery, and it also gets the first place when it comes to charging, thanks to its 90W fast charging technology.
Price
Asus ROG Phone 3 has a starting price of €899 in the global market, while we still do not know the global prices of the Lenovo Legion Duel and the Nubia Red Magic 5S. We know that they start at €425/$500 and €460/$541 in China, respectively. Our verdict goes in favor of the ROG Phone 3 due to its big battery and the support for more external accessories. But if you are a live streamer and you want a more comfortable gaming experience, then Lenovo Legion Duel may be a better option for you.

On Monday, Redmi announced a new colorway for the Redmi K30 Pro called Aqua Skylight. Now, the flagship is set to get another color variant tomorrow; the second in a week.
The new color variant is dubbed Galaxy Silver and it will launch tomorrow, July 30. It has already been listed on Mi.com and the listing shows that the color variant will be available in a single configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage with a price tag of ¥2999 (~$428).
With the new colorway, the Redmi K30 Pro will now be available in six color options.

OnePlus has been in the news a lot lately. The manufacturer is still basking in the limelight of the launch of its new and affordable mid-range phone, the OnePlus Nord. Now, news of new models has begun trickling in. The latest is a Geekbench listing of an unknown model that may belong to the OnePlus 8T series expected to arrive in a few months.
First reported by Nashville Chatterclass, the phone appeared on Geekbench today with the model number OnePlus KB2001. The device runs Android 11, has 8GB of RAM, and is powered by the Snapdragon 865 processor.
The choice of the chipset may be surprising for a lot of people seeing as OnePlus T-series are known to come with the most powerful Snapdragon chipset available, which should be the Snapdragon 865 Plus in this case.
The OnePlus phone which has a single-core score of 912 points and a multi-core score of 3288 is believed to be the OnePlus 8T. While it has the same processor as the OnePlus 8, it should pack upgrades in other areas such as the cameras, battery capacity, and fast charging technology. The choice of using the Snapdragon 865 rather than the Snapdragon 865 Plus may be so as to keep the price tag down.
Anyway, this is just speculation, so until more concrete details surface, we advise you to take it with a grain of salt.
OnePlus unveiled its first Nord series smartphone last week. A few hours back, the second device in the series powered by Snapdragon 690 was spotted in an OxygenOS build. Now, a report says that users of Nord are facing display tint issues at low brightness.
OnePlus Nord is not the only OnePlus smartphone to have display issue this year. OnePlus 8 Pro, the brand’s flagship smartphone of H1 2020 also has various problems related to its display, especially at lower brightness levels.
Some users of OnePlus Nord took to Redditand OnePlus Community to share the issues they are facing on their unit. Most of them have the same color tinting problem when brightness is set lower than 25%. Even 9to5Google faced a similar issue on their review unit.
When the publication reached out to the company, OnePlus replied that “a slight display discoloration may occur due to the properties of the AMOLED display” and it even affirmed that “this is not a quality issue and will not affect daily usage or the durability of the screen”.
On the OnePlus 8 Pro, the company fixed the display issue by limiting the low brightness level. Probably, it will do the same for the Nord in the near future. Also, it is worth noting that the plastic frame on this handset led to its death in a durability test.
Early this year, Samsung partnered with the American fashion house, Thom Browne, for a limited edition Galaxy Z Flip. The package also had a customized Galaxy Buds+ and Galaxy Active2 in it. It has now been reported that Samsung will launch a Galaxy Z Fold 2 Thom Browne limited edition too.
The info was revealed by Ice Universe on Weibo earlier today. In his post, he revealed the limited edition Galaxy Z Fold 2 will cost over ¥20,000 (~$2856). While that sure is really expensive considering the standard version will sell for $1,980, it may please you (or not) to know that the package will also include a Galaxy Watch 3 Titanium Edition and a pair of Galaxy Buds Live.
Just like the limited edition Galaxy Z Flip, this too should be sold by Samsung and Thom Browne when it launches. Do note that it may arrive later than the standard edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
LG Display is one of the world’s largest display manufacturers. Recently, we reported it to ship only 3.6 million units of large-sized OLEDs in 2020 due to pandemic. Despite the current situation, the company quietly lists LSAB009, a 163-inch 4K micro-LED TV on its Business Solutions website.
According to the listing, the LG LSAB009 uses COB (Chip on-board) micro-LED panel with 4K resolution measuring at 163 inches. It comes under the company’s LED Signage series for commercial use.
The company claims it to offer a typical brightness of 600 nits and a peak brightness level of 1,200 nits. Whereas, it advertises its contrast ratio to be 100,000 : 1 (peak) and 50,000 : 1 (max) respectively.
Further, LG says this display to provide deep black levels, thanks to super-low reflection rate. Also, this screen supports wireless data transfer and cable-less power docking.
Unfortunately, the listing on the official website does not mention its price as it is a commercial product. Businesses that are interested in making an investment in this TV will have to directly inquire LG for price and availability.
