Jul 20, 2020

Xiaomi is expected to launch a new variant in its flagship Mi 10 series. The new handset will be placed above the Mi 10 Pro and is dubbed as the Mi 10 Pro Plus. Although, despite being the higher end variant, the Mi 10 Pro Plus will still feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 and not the 865+ variant.

The report arrives from a known Weibo leakster Digital Chat Station (@数码闲聊站), who shared the news on the popular Chinese microblogging website. We had also previously reported on Xiaomi launching a new Mi 10 variant back in June, which was said to launch in August 2020. However, the Chinese tech giant has yet to publicly announce or even tease the rumored upcoming device.

Furthermore, the blogger also stated that he expects the benchmarking scores of the higher clocked variant to be around 640,000 points, which is only 10,000 points over the base version. This would not bring any noticeable difference in performance, especially during day to day use. Although, it is notable that the new processor is the first mobile chip to cross the 3GHz clock speed mark.

Additionally, it has also been said that the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro Plus will feature 100W fast charging as well. But unfortunately, we have no way of confirming any of the news as of right now. We will have to wait for an official company announcement. So take the report with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates.

Ever since Ni Fei, the president of Nubia brand revealed the arrival of Red Magic 5S, he has been teasing the features of the handset every day. Earlier today, he confirmed the touch sampling rate of the display and shoulder buttons along with the refresh rate of the screen.

The upcoming Red Magic 5S will be Nubia’s third gaming smartphone of 2020 after Red Magic 5G and Nubia Play 5G (aka Red Magic 5G Lite). It is expected to be a minor update to its predecessor just like Red Magic 3 and Red Magic 3S from last year.

As part of pre-launch marketing, the brand’s president has been revealing the features of the phone one by one. Today, he confirmed the device to feature 320Hz touch sampling rate shoulder buttons and 144Hz refresh rate display with a 240Hz touch sampling rate.

For those unaware, touch sampling rate can be simply called as the number of times the screen can sense touch inputs in a second. Just like the display refresh rate, more the value better the performance, which in turn should offer stellar gaming experience, at least in theory.

Though the new teaser does not reveal the type of the display, it should be AMOLED just like its predecessor. Apart from this, the handset is confirmed to come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus, LPDDRR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and silver cooling system.

With the Samsung Unpacked 2020 event being just around the corner (5th August 2020), numerous reports and rumors have started surfacing for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 (Galaxy Fold 2 official name according to SamMobile) and Galaxy Z Flip 5G. While a few specs and features have been claimed, a new report has revealed the possible pricing as well.

ETNews reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G will not feature a significant price difference between last gen models. Rather, the pricing might remain the same if not similar, with the Galaxy Z Fold 2 being priced at 2.4 million KRW (roughly 1,990 US Dollars) and the Galaxy Z Flip 5G arriving at 1.65 million KRW (roughly 1,370 US Dollars).

Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Flip-5G — Galaxy Z Flip 5G

Furthermore, the report also claims that the new Galaxy Z Fold 2 will not be bundled with the company’s truly wireless earbuds in the box. Reportedly, the aforementioned pricing is just temporary and the South Korean tech giant is working internally for the actual pricing and plans on working with telecom operators to finalize other details as well.

Apparently, internal discussion within Samsung had brought up reducing the price for foldable handsets to increase their popularity. Although, the company could not lower the price any further due to the use of advanced processes, expensive components like the UTG (ultra thin glass), and other innovative technologies.

So while the newer generation would be an improvement over the predecessors, its unlikely that an affordable smartphone will make it into the market this year. Notably, while the upcoming and current lineup of foldable devices is priced at ultra premium segments, the company will launch cheaper models in 2021, when supplies get more stable.

Jul 20, 2020

Apple is bringing touch integrated OLED (organic light emitting diode) displays on all iPhone models that will be launched next year. The news arrives after touch integrated OLED panels are rising in popularity within the global display industry, especially for smartphones.

According to a new report from ETNews, the Cupertino based giant has placed an order for touch integrated OLED displays for the 2021 iPhone series. In other words, the iPhones that will launch next year will feature the new touch integrated panels. For those unaware, a touch integrated OLED panel is a variant of the OLED display. While traditional OLEDs attach a touch sensor film on the panel, the integrated variant has this touch sensor built into the panel itself.

Meaning, a separate layer is not required to be added. Thus, touch integrated displays are hence thinner than the conventional variants. This also gives OEMs and vendors more flexibility for their offerings whilst also being more cost effective as well. So far, Apple has been using the traditional displays that have touch film attached to them, although that might soon change with the launch of the upcoming iPhone 12 series later this year.

Sources revealed the different sizes as well, including a 5.4 inch, 6.1 inch, and 6.7 inch panels for the iPhone 12 lineup. The new touch integrated OLEDs are being supplied by Samsung Display. Notably, the pricing of these displays are expected to be competitive and the South Korean brand already roping in a major customer like Apple will only boost the technology’s popularity within the industry as well.

Huawei has recently added multiple patents. These patents were related to a number of automobile gadgets an electronic components like key access control methods and vehicle-related positioning wireless charging.

According to a report from Sohu, the Chinese tech giant applied for numerous patents for various systems that one would find in a smart car earlier this month.

Notably, the company had also recently announced its first car with HarmonyOS, which was a collaboration with known automobile maker BYD.

Hence, seeing all of these patents could just be Huawei covering all bases or for upcoming technology for its budding automobile components and supporting networking infrastructure business for vehicles. Unfortunately, finer details are still uncertain, so stay tuned for more updates.

[UPDATED] TikTok reportedly plans to shift headquarters from China to London

Jul 20, 2020

UPDATE:

According to British media, TikTok has reportedly backed out of this plan due to the increasing tension between the UK and China. Recently, the UK decided to ban Huawei gear from its 5G network infrastructure.

Original story…

TikTok, the world’s most popular short video social media platform, has received a lot of heat in the past months mainly because of two reasons — its data collection practices and its Chinese ownership.

To improve the perspective, a new report coming from Reuters claims that the company is now looking to relocate its headquarters away from China. It is considering several locations, including London, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance, is expected to “significantly” increase the size of its workforce in London and other key locations outside of China over the next several years, claims the report.

It’s noteworthy that the company has been aggressively hiring in California, United States. The company even poached former Walt Disney co-executive Kevin Mayer to become the CEO, which is based in the United States.

Earlier, it was reported that TikTok is planning to form a new management board along with establishing headquarters outside of China to distance itself from its origin country. The company has also confirmed that it is weighing changes to its corporate structure.

Soon after the Indian government banned TikTok and 58 other Chinese applications, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the administration is “looking at” banning the app in the United States. However, China has claimed that the selective ban of TikTok and other apps by the Indian government is against WTO rules.

A few days ago, the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) fined TikTok 186 million won or roughly 155,000 US Dollars for mishandling child data. The fine is equivalent to 3% of the company’s annual sales within the country, which is in line with the designated amount for such violations under local privacy laws.

In April this year, it was reported that TikTok had crossed 2 billion app downloads across iOS and Android. In the first quarter of this year alone, the company reportedly saw 315 million downloads — a new record for any smartphone app.

Japan doesn’t want to be left behind when it comes to the advanced semiconductor business and in line with that, the country is reportedly planning to invite the leading contract chipset manufacturers to set up a production plant in the country.

As per the report from Yomiuri daily (via Reuters), Japan is planning to invite Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd or other global chipmakers to build an advanced chip manufacturing plant along with domestic chip equipment suppliers.

According to the report, the Japanese government is also ready to offer several hundred billion yen, or equivalent to several billion dollars, over the coming years to those chipmakers who join this project.

When contacted by Reuters, the TSMC spokesperson denied such plans at the moment but said that the company would not rule anything out in the future.

The development comes just months after TSMC announced that the company will build an advanced chip foundry in Arizona, United States with support from the state and the federal government. The company expects to spend about $12 billion between 2021 and 2029 on the project, with construction slated to begin next year.

TSMC is a leading chipset manufacturer globally with over 50 percent market share. It is known for manufacturing chipsets for major firms like Apple, Qualcomm, Huawei, MediaTek, NVIDIA, Broadcom, ADI, NXP, and others.

Huawei accounted for 23% of the revenue generated by TSMC in 2019. Even after the Huawei ban, TSMC is forecasting revenue of $11.2-11.5 billion for Q3, which is 20.7% more than last year. Additionally, the company increased its revenue growth target to over 20% for 2020 and even increased its capital expenditure to up to $17 billion, from the previously planned $15-16 billion.
