Motorola is still making good budget smartphones, however, it still lags behind Chinese competitors in markets like India. Hence, South America, especially Brazil has been its strong withhold for a few years now. That said, a couple of days back, live pictures of Moto E7 leaked revealing its design. Today, similar images of Moto E7 Plus emerge.

1 of 4

The live pictures of Moto E7 Plus were shared by 91Mobiles, the same publication which also published images of Moto E7. The pictures are of low quality for obvious reasons but we can make out the design.

The back of the handset looks like glass but we think it to be glossy plastic like the recently launched Motorola One Fusion Plus, which is also known as Moto G8 Plus in the Middle East. Further, the rear of the phone also features a dual-camera setup assisted with laser auto-focus as well as LED flash and a fingerprint sensor with the iconic “Motorola Batwing” embedded on it.

As for the front, the device sports a dew-drop notch display similar to any budget smartphones these days. At the bottom, there’s a USB Type-C port, single speaker grille, and the primary microphone. Although none of the images shows us the top of the phone, we expect it to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack and secondary microphone at that location.

Having said that, the specifications of Moto E7 Plus is a mystery. Since the regular Moto E7 is said to feature Qualcomm Snapdragon 632, we can expect the Plus version to be powered by the same chipset or something slightly powerful than this.

Xiaomi to take on Samsung and LG in South Korean market by launching 5G devices at half the price

By

Jul 17, 2020

Xiaomi is planning on taking on South Korean tech giants like Samsung and LG in their home country. The 5G market is robust in South Korea with Samsung and LG dominating the region. However, the Chinese brands aim at disrupting this market with 5G handsets that cost half in comparison to its rivals’ offerings.

The Chinese company expects the South Korean market to be a tough challenge and that products from China might face issues in being welcomed in the region. Thus, to tackle this situation, Xiaomi has recently launched its own 5G device offering at half the price of its competition. At the moment, the LG Velvet costs around 900,000 Won (roughly 747 US Dollars) while the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite costs only 451,000 Won (roughly 374 US Dollars).

According to a Xiaomi executive, the pricing ” will be attractive to Korean consumers, who have high expectations for this product, but are also looking for a price-performance ratio.” The company is selling its smartphones through multiple online sellers and major e-retailers, including 11th Street, Naver Smart Store, Coupang, and even SK Telecom’s online channels. Unfortunately, it will not be available through offline physical stores.

Interestingly, it seems that LG seems unphased by the massive price disparity between two similar smartphones. This might stem from the fact that Chinese smartphones have a lack of or poor after sales service infrastructure, which is a big reason why customers to avoid it. In other words, any Chinese vendor will face such challenges when entering the South Korean market.

Jul 17, 2020

Realme has reached the third spot in India’s hearables market after a mere three months of entering the market. The company had recently launched a series of truly wireless earbuds in the country, which have been well received.

Realme Buds Q Over 25000 Units First Day Sale India — Realme Buds Q, which sold Over 25000 Units on the First Day in India

According to a report from Canalys, Realme holds the third position in the category with a 10 percent market share. This is quite a notable achievement considering the Chinese company is a new entry entrant into the market, especially during a time of a global pandemic. In the rankings, Boat holds the top spot with a market share of 20 percent, while Samsung trails close behind at 19 percent. Sony and Xiaomi round up the fourth and fifth positions in the market respectively at 6 percent each.

The market analysis from Canalys reported on smart personal audio devices in the Asia Pacific, which saw a huge growth of 61 percent year on year, reaching 16 million units in shipments in Q1 of 2020. This makes the region one of the largest and also one of the fastest growing hearables markets in the world. Meaning, Realme made a very strategic entry into India despite the ongoing crisis and capitalized on the opportunity.

The Chinese brand has always targetted the younger demographic and its primary customer base includes young individuals and professionals that value both design and performance. “This means we have to deliver on both fronts to meet our customer needs,” said Realme’s Global Marketing President, Xu Qi.

Galaxy M31s may feature in-display fingerprint sensor as per renders

Jul 17, 2020

A recent report revealed Samsung to announce Galaxy M31s, the successor to Galaxy M31 from earlier this year by the end of this month. The handset is said to go on sale starting next month. Just a couple of days from that report, the phone’s renders have now leaked along with the sale date.

An exclusive leak by 91Mobiles gives us the first glimpse of Galaxy M31s in the form of two renders. Apart from renders, the leak also exposes the handset’s first sale date – August 5. The device will be available to purchase from Samsung online store as well as Amazon India.

Talking about renders, the first one shows the back of the device, which looks identical to its predecessor Galax M31. However, it isn’t as the camera layout is L-shaped compared to inverted L-shape on the former. Also, most importantly, there’s no sign of fingerprint sensor on the rear panel.

Since the device is tipped to arrive with Infinity-O AMOLED display, which the second render reveals, we can expect it to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor as well. That means the Galaxy M31s could be the first phone in the Galaxy M series to come with this feature.

Further, according to previous leaks, the handset will be powered by the same old Exynos 9611 chipset. Also, it is said to retain 6,000 mAh battery and 64MP (primary) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 5MP (macro) + 5MP (depth) quad-camera setup. Last but not least, the phone is expected to start around ₹20,000 ($267).

Jul 17, 2020

The President of Nubia, Ni Fei, revealed that the upcoming Red Magic 5S will feature a cooling system with silver in it earlier today (17th July 2020). Silver has the highest thermal conductivity in the world and we can expect to see great temperatures on the device.

The senior executive shared a post on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, which revealed the Red Magic 5S’ cooling solution. Alongside this, the President also shared two images, one depicting the upcoming smartphone’s cooling system while the other listed a ranking for material and their thermal conductivity. Silver topped the charts with a thermal conductivity of 420, which is higher than copper and even gold.

Unfortunately, this was just a slight promotional material that the company official shared and finer details regarding the smartphone are still unknown. However, previous reports have pointed at Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865+ being equipped in the gaming phone that will launch soon. We will be providing more updates regarding the device, so stay tuned.

LG Display to ship only 3.6 million units of large-sized OLED panels in 2020

Jul 17, 2020

LG Display is one of the well-known OLED suppliers apart from Samsung Display. The company excels in large-sized OLED panels, however, it is expected to ship only 3.6 million units of those this year as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. The new forecast is about 1.3 million units lesser than the initial estimation of 4.9 million units.

Yesterday, at a conference (via The Elec), Choong Hoon Yi, the CEO of UBI Research broke out the news that LG Display will be shipping a lower number of large-sized OLED panels compared to the initial forecast.

Even the current number is only based on the assumption that the global TV market will recover. If the company could not operate its facility located in Guangzhou, China normally, the shipments may further decrease to 3.2 million units.

For comparison, last year, the company shipped 3.3 million large-sized OLED panels. Before the global pandemic, the South Korean analysts forecasted as high as 6 million units of shipments for 2020.

A total of 19 companies, excluding Samsung and TCL are expected to launch OLED TVs. However, the demand for OLED panels has remained small so far. LG accounted for 60% of the demand, followed by Sony at 20% and the remaining 17 companies.

Jul 17, 2020

Earlier today (17th July 2020), the OnePlus forum had a new post published by a staff member, which revealed the specifications of the camera module of the highly anticipated OnePlus Nord.

According to the official forum post from the company’s Imaging Director, the OnePlus Nord will feature a quad camera setup on the rear. The official said that “After months of product planning, internal discussions, and testing, we decided that Nord should have six cameras – four on the rear, and two on the front.” Apparently, the company added the additional sensors as a response to the feedback it had received from its fan and participants in the Open Ears Forum.

The primary sensor is a 48 megapixel Sony IMX586 sensor along with, an 8 megapixel ultra wide angle lens, a 5 megapixel depth sensor, and a Macro lens. The main lens has a large f/1.75 aperture and will feature optical image stabilization (OIS). Furthermore, the company promised various fine tuning through software that will enhance the overall experience and results during photography.

Moving to the front, the primary selfie shooter in the dual front facing camera setup includes a 32 megapixel sensor alongside an additional ultra wide angle lens. The wide angle lens on the front has a 105 degree field of view and will help in those wider shots that include a large number of people. OnePlus also claims that the new selfie cameras will have algorithms that will “automatically leverage the power of AI and long exposure technology to brighten up selfies and reduce noise in low light.”

Jul 17, 2020

Recent reports have revealed that Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy M31s phone in India this month. The Galaxy M51 is the other M-series smartphone heading to India. Earlier today, the smartphone appeared in the database of Bluetooth SIG authority. Hence, it appears that the Galaxy M51’s launch may not be far away.

The Bluetooth SIG certification has confirmed the Galaxy M51 moniker for the Samsung phone that has a model number SM-M515F_DSN. The certification only confirms that the handset supports Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. Devices are known to go official around a month after receiving certification from the Bluetooth SIG. Hence, it is likely that the phone may go official in August or in September as the rumor mill had speculated.

Samsung Galaxy M51 Specifications (Rumored)

The Galaxy M51 recently appeared on Geekbench with some key details. It revealed that the phone runs on Android 10 OS and it is fueled by Snapdragon 675 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. The rumor mill has claimed that the phone may not feature SD675, but it may arrive with Snapdragon 730 SoC.

Rumors surrounding the Galaxy M51 has revealed that it has a 64-megapixel main camera in its rear-mounted quad-camera system. The handset may come with an internal storage of 128 GB. The handset may sport an AMOLED display with punch-hole design. The display of the M51 could be integrated with a fingerprint reader.

There are mixed reports about the existence of the Galaxy M41 phone. A South Korean publication had claimed last month Samsung will be skipping Galaxy M41 to directly launch the Galaxy M51 since the M41 has been canceled. However, a 6,800mAh battery that belongs to the alleged Galaxy M41 phone was spotted earlier this month. Hence, it remains to be seen whether the Galaxy M41 will arrive eventually or the battery will be power the M51 phone.

Apple may face a $26 billion fine as EU investigates Siri

Jul 17, 2020

Earlier this week, Apple just had a ruling in its favor that was regarding unpaid taxes worth 13.9 billion US Dollars in Ireland. However, it seems the company didn’t have time to celebrate as another possible investigation into its voice assistant may have it shell out a 26 billion US Dollars fine.

For those unaware, the European Union Competition Commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, was behind the tax evasion lawsuit in Ireland. And now, the official is looking into information from 400 companies to see if there is any possible misconduct with voice assistants such as Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon’s Alexa. If any foul play is found, the companies behind these voice assistants may face an antitrust charge.

In the past, such inquiries have led to multi billion dollar fines being imposed against various industries related to energy, finances, and even pharmaceutics. In other words, the EU is trying to acquire information from 400 companies, to send a message to industry giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google. A message that is meant to keep them in check.

The companies that break the voice assistant rules regarding competition, a fine of 10 percent of its global revenue can be imposed. Meaning, Apple’s 260 billion US Dollar global revenue from last year could have it fined for 26 billion US Dollars. This move arrives due to the inherent amount of consumer data IoT products and recent smart products work with. Unfortunately, it is still too early in the investigation to say anything right now and we will keep you posted regarding any major updates in the matter.

Jul 17, 2020

Late last month, the Indian government banned a total of 59 Chinese apps citing security concerns. Three of these apps namely UC Browser, UC News, and VidMate are owned by UCWeb, a subsidiary of Alibaba. Now, after weeks, this company lays off its employees in India as it couldn’t provide services in the country. Similarly, Club Factory, another banned app has halted payments to its Indian sellers.

In retaliation to a clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers at the Himalayan border, the Indian government announced the ban of 59 Chinese apps on June 29. On the very next day, all of these apps were removed from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Internet Service Providers (ISP) in the country even blocked access to these apps and their websites.

Some companies like TikTok and Xiaomi (Mi Community) came forward themselves issuing an official statement about halting their services.

Whereas, UCWeb sent out a letter (July 15) to its employees informing that they are being laid off according to a report by Reuters. The letter read, “This termination is on account of the ban imposed by the government of India on UCWeb and Vmate, hampering the company’s ability to continue providing services in India”.

UCWeb also issued a statement saying that it had stopped its services in India abiding the government order. However, it did not mention if it had shut operations entirely.

UC Browser had 130 million monthly active users in India. The company employed less than 100 direct individuals and hundreds of third-party workers.

On the other hand, Club Factory, an eCommerce company, informed its sellers in India that it is “invoking a force majeure clause – freeing it from contractual obligations”.

The company’s letter to its some 30,000 Indian sellers said, “We hereby wish to inform that all settlements with sellers on the CF app and website are hereby being put on hold until the ban of the CF app and website is lifted”.

Club Factory’s official statement says that it has temporarily halted its business activities in India and is working with the government to submit clarifications from its end.

Huawei begins counterattack, files patent infringement against Verizon, HP and Cisco

Jul 17, 2020

With the US cracking down hard on Huawei and pressurizing the company on multiple fronts, it seems that the smartphone vendor has started to fight back and is targetting multiple brands like HP, Verizon, and even Cisco with patent infringement.

A few recent changes in the US Government’s FRAND agreements (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) have enabled Huawei to sue the aforementioned companies. In other words, the amendments have made it easier for Huawei to target these companies. The Chinese tech giant’s response to the US sanctions against starts from patent infringement claims Verizon for its own technology and products that it had acquired from Cisco and Hewlett-Packard.

At the moment, Huawei is demanding royalty payments for hundreds of patents. Notably, sources claimed that this event might also be leveraged by the Chinese company to compel court discovery on Verizon’s and its suppliers’ confidential information. In simplers terms, Huawei would be able to gain in-depth access to its competitor’s products and technology.

The turn of events was unexpected, to say the least, as the US Government, in particular, did not consider that Huwaei would turn the US patent law against American companies. Additionally, this could also lead to further harm to local companies in the near future as well. So stay tuned as we will be providing more updates on the matter.

Apple Glass user may be able to control the device using their eyes

Jul 17, 2020

The rumored and long awaited Apple Glass might have received some interesting features. A new patent has surfaced which reveals that the smart product could be controlled by the user’s eyes.

The eye control feature described has a big role in the device, with inputs varying from eye movements, blinks and even stares. According to the patent, “a user uses his or her eyes to interact with user interface objects displayed on the electronic device. The techniques provide a more natural and efficient interface by, in some exemplary embodiments, allowing a user to operate the device using primarily eye gazes and eye gestures (e.g., eye movement, blinks, and stares).”

Furthermore, Apple Glasses could also be touch sensitive and take in inputs like taps and swipe. It could even be controlled via voice commands through Siri. Similarly, a user could also zoom into a scene ora subject by starting at it for a few seconds. This might automatically trigger magnification, or a simple voice input would do the trick.

Interestingly, the highly descriptive text also points at this approach being possibly supported on any other device with a camera, although, it would be more ‘advantageous’ for AR gadgets like the Apple Glass. Unfortunately, it is still too early to confirm anything regarding Apple’s upcoming AR product. So take this patent with a pinch of salt for now.

Apple is reportedly working on two-way Qi Wireless Charging cases

Jul 17, 2020

Apple already has a Smart Battery Case for iPhones which, when attached to the smartphone, starts charging the device. But it has a Lightning connector that needs to the attached to the phone for the charging function to work.

However, that could now become a thing of the past. Apple has filed a patent application (first reported by Apple Insider) and seems to be working on two-coil wireless charging technology for an iPhone battery case without the need or Lightning connector.

Apple iPhone Smart Battery Case — Smart Battery Case for iPhone 11 Pro

In the patent application, the company describes that the “battery case has first and second coils on opposing sides of a battery and has switching circuitry that is coupled between the first and second coils.”

It goes on to explain that the wireless charging case for the iPhone can use the built-in battery to power up a connected device using the second coil in an open state. Similarly, the case can also receive power for itself wirelessly in the open state.

EDITOR’S PICK: The mid-range OnePlus Nord was inevitable and Here’s Why!

This new patent from Apple related to the wireless charging iPhone battery case could mean that the rumors related to a “port-less” iPhone could come true in the coming years. Ming-Chi Kuo, a reliable source related to developments of Apple, claims that the Cupertino-giant could ditch Lightning port for a completely wireless iPhone by 2021.

The reason for Apple planning to adopt a completely wireless solution for the upcoming iPhones could be the European Union, which has voted to force smartphone manufacturers to choose a single common smartphone charging standard. It means that Apple will be forced to ditch the Lightning connector for USB-C, but it seems that instead of adopting USB-C, Apple has decided to go the port-less route with only wireless charging support.

New US regulation banning Huawei and others could affect over 800 Japanese companies

Jul 17, 2020

Amid the ongoing US-China trade war, the U.S. government has been putting new sanctions on Huawei since effectively banning the company in May last year after it was put on the Entity List.

Now, a report coming from Nikkei claims that the United States will be imposing a ban for federal procurement from businesses that use products from Huawei Technologies and four other China-based companies over security concerns.

U.S. agencies will not be able to sign or renew contracts with companies that use products or services from Huawei, ZTE, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, Zhejiang Dahua Technology, and Hytera Communications.

The new regulations, which go into effect from 13th August, will require companies bidding for the federal contracts to certify that they do not use banned products from the above mentioned Chinese companies.

The move will reportedly affect more than 800 Japanese companies, which include U.S. subsidiaries that have direct federal contracts as well as Japan-based enterprises that deal with American forces stationed in the Asian country.

It remains unclear how the United States government is defining the “use” of products. There’s also a possibility that the ban may soon be expanded to cover affiliates, subsidiaries, and parents of contractors.

The companies have two choices — either do business with the U.S. government or with the major suppliers. So far, it seems that companies are choosing to continue doing business with the United States.

Companies like Nippon Telegraph & Telephone, NTT Data, SoftBank Group, and Kajima have said that they will ensure compliance with this new regulation and will refrain from using products and services from the likes of Huawei and ZTE.

As more and more countries join the list of commercial 5G operations, the costing for the 5G smartphones is also expected to go down. In the near future, almost all the smartphones getting launched will be 5G-compatible, as the adoption of 5G increases.
