Huawei led the China Wearable Market in Q1 2020, followed by Xiaomi and Apple

By

IDC has released its report on China’s wearable market for Q1 2020. According to it, Huawei led the market just like it did in smartphones. Apple and Garmin were the only non-Chinese companies performing well in the region. As a whole, the market shipped 17.62 million units, which translates to 11.3% YoY decline.

Huawei Watch GT 2 Featured

According to the report, the shipments of basic wearables that don’t have support for third-party apps (eg. fitness trackers) decreased by 5.5% YoY with 14.86 million units. On the other hand, the proper smartwatches (including adult and kids) also witnessed a whopping decline of 33.3% with only 2.76 million units.

The decrease in shipments is due to the COVID-19 pandemic but it also helped in the increased shipments of wireless earphones (26.5% YoY) and adult smartwatches (8.4%) as people are working as well as attending schools/colleges from their homes.

As per IDC, by the end of 2020, the overall wearable market of China will grow by 17.4% while wireless earphones and adult smartwatches will grow by 47.7% and 37.6% respectively.

China’s Top 5 Wearable Brands in Q1 2020

  1. Huawei
  2. Xiaomi
  3. Apple
  4. LifeSense
  5. BBK Electronics

Huawei led the overall Chinese wearable market in Q1 2020 with shipments of 4.282 million units, which accounted for 24.3% market share. The company grew 18.8% YoY as its shipments and market share were 3.605 million and 18.1% at the same time last year (Q1 2019).

Xiaomi came a close second with 23.5% market share based on 4.144 million units of shipments. But it witnessed a decline of 0.6%. In the previous year, it led the market with 4.177 million units and 21.0% market share.

At the third position, Apple shipped 2.848 million units covering 16.2% of the market. The US tech giant grew 15.2% YoY from 12.4% market share and 2.473 million units.

The fourth position was occupied by LifeSense with 4.5% market share shipping 785K units. It was the only brand to show a huge increase in its market share by 72.9% YoY. For comparison, in Q1 2019, it only shipped 458K units and grabbed a mere 2.3% market share.

Lastly, the fifth place was held by BBK Electronics, which is known for its Okii XTC smartwatches for kids. It shipped 765K units down from 1.448 million units last year. It only accounted for 4.3% market share compared to last year’s 7.3%. In other words, it was the worst-performing of all the top brands with 47.1% YoY decline.

China’s Top 5 Adult Smartwatch Brands in Q1 2020

As adult smartwatch performed well in Q1 2020 in China, IDC also released a separate top 5 chart for it. Here’s a table to understand it better.

Brands
Q1 2020 Shipments
Q1 2020 Market Share
Q1 2019 Shipments
Q1 2019 Market Share
Increase/Decline YoY

Huawei

 1.045 million 47.8% 493K 24.5% 111.9%

Apple

 319K 14.6% 285K 14.1% 11.9%
Xiaomi 128K 5.9% 44K 2.2%

189.5%
Jiaming (Garmin) 110K 5.0% 131K 6.5%

-16.1%
Huami 98K 4.5% 345K 17.1%

-71.6%

From the table, we can clearly see that Xiaomi and Huawei were the most successful brands in Q1 2020 with an increase of 189.5% and 111.9% YoY respectively. However, Huami’s market share plunged by 71.6% YoY making it the worst-performing top brands in the same period.

Non-Chinese brands like Apple and Garmin’s Jiaming made it to the top list but only the former showed an increase of 11.9% YoY, whereas the latter declined by 16.1% YoY.

China completes its navigation system by launching its final BeiDou satellite

China has successfully launched its final satellite within its BeiDou constellation network earlier today (23rd June 2020). The launch of the final satellite completes its new global navigation system which has been in works for about a decade.

The Long March 3B rocket flew the final BeiDou Navigation Satellite (BDS) into orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China. Its lift off occurred at 9:43 am Beijing time, which had finally been given the green light after a delay that lasted nearly a week due to technical problems.

Previously, the initial satellite launched before the final one had only been announced after successful insertion into orbit. But in a rare turn of event, the Chinese government announced the launch in advance and even broadcasted the launch live on television and online platform, which also included an English translation that was available on state services.

Editor’s Pick: UK telecom operators to stockpile Huawei equipment due to recent US Sanctions

For those unaware, China began the development of its BeiDou satellite system back in the 1990s, with the first satellite launching in 2000. The indigenous navigational system was developed to be a local offering similar to the GPS system from the US. The BDS system consists of 30 satellites, with its applications ranging from  high-precision positioning to short message communications.

China

The new satellite system also features “higher bandwidth, enabling enhanced communication capability and carrying more accurate … atomic clocks to improve the precision of timing and navigation services.” Notably, the system had faced various delays due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, but with the final satellite’s launch, the system can finally rival other navigational systems.

UK telecom operators to stockpile Huawei equipment due to recent US Sanctions

By

The telecom operators from the UK have been urged to stockpile on networking equipment made from Huawei. The move is being undertaken after growing fears that the latest US sanctions might impact operations for telecom firms in the region.

Huawei

According to a fresh report from Reuters, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has written to BT and Vodafone, urging them to maintain a healthy supply of gear from all vendors. However, the Chinese tech giant’s networking equipment was specifically mentioned and the operators were also asked to provide updates regarding the matter.

For those unaware, Huawei is a known telecommunications equipment provider and has been in the UK for more than two decades. It is also a key supplier for major telecom operators like BT and Vodafone and through its role in the country, has been able to expand to other regions as well. The Chinese firm was also highly invested in the 5G development of the country but due to scrutiny from the west, it has had its position questioned.

Huawei

At the moment, the UK is planning on removing all Huawei made equipment by 2023. Previously, the US had pressurized the region to ban the company outright, but a total ban is impossible without causing disruption within the country’s telecommunications infrastructure. Recent US sanctions have cut off chip supply from TSMC to Huawei, which will also affect its telecom equipment production. Thus, the move is understandable for a stable supply.

Apple is apparently planning on launching the third generation of its highly successful TWS earphones in the first half of 2021. According to known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the AirPods 3 will be launched in H1 of 2021 and will feature a design similar to the AirPods Pro.

Apple

Apple’s AirPods Pro was launched back in November 2019 and featured an in-ear design, which featured soft and flexible silicone tips. This was a notable departure from its traditional earphone designs. Furthermore, the Cupertino based giant also offered a number of improvements and offered great features like active noise cancellation, improved sound quality, and water resistance as well.

Kuo also stated that the upcoming iPhone 12 lineup will not feature EarPods in the box. This move from Apple is reportedly to boost its AirPods sales which seem likely since its hearables offerings are one of the top selling within its category. Unfortunately, the pricing of the next gen AirPods is unknown, but it might be around $199 (similar to the second-generation AirPods) or $249 (similar to the AirPods Pro).

Apple

Additionally, the analyst also expects the AirPods shipments will also be backed by a promotional campaign that will arrive in the second half of 2020. What this might entail is currently unknown, but the hearables might be offered at discounted rates alongside the new iPhone lineup. Although that is just speculation, hence, take it with a grain of salt and stay tuned for more updates.

Google brings Fact Check label to image search results to help verify content

Google is bringing a new feature to its popular search engine. Its system will have a ‘Fact Check’ label on its image search results to verify the visual content, starting from today.

Google

The Fact Check label can be found on the image thumbnails in the image search category and will search as a verification effort in Search and news. According to a statement from Google, “Photos and videos are an incredible way to help people understand what’s going on in the world. But the power of visual media has its pitfalls⁠—especially when there are questions surrounding the origin, authenticity, or context of an image.”

In other words, the new feature arrives to help people differentiate between authentic searches and unknown and possibly misleading sources. These labels will also help users make informed decisions regarding the content that they wish to see. Google also shared an example of this through its official Twitter handle. Say, someone, search Google Images for a shark swimming down the street in Houston, a fact check label will be attached below it, verifying the content.

If a user clicks on the image to expand it, the fact checked search result will also display a preview of the image alongside a short summary of the information contained within the webpage and where the image is featured. Notably, these fact checks are present only on independent, authoritative sources and it is currently unknown what criteria a publisher needs in order to receive to also fall under this category. An algorithm determines trustable sources and offers the label.

Nokia set to cut over 1200 jobs at Alcatel Lucent in France

By

Nokia, the Finland-based telecom equipment maker, has confirmed that it plans to cut around 1,233 hobs at its subsidiary Alcatel Lucent International. The number of jobs cited accounts for about one-third of the company’s workforce.

Nokia Logo

Currently, Alcatel Lucent International has about 3,640 employees. Of the total 1,233 jobs being cut, 831 jobs belong to the Nozay site, and 402 jobs belong to the Lannion site. Nokia France affiliate companies, including Radio Frequency Systems, Nokia Bell Labs France, and Alcatel Submarine Networks aren’t affected by the job cuts.

The development comes as the acquisition condition of not cutting the French jobs for at least five years is about the expire. This raises the question if Nokia intended to take this step as soon as it was allowed to or if the company is just trying to accommodate as per the market conditions.

EDITOR’S PICK: Apple announces transition of Macs from Intel to its own Apple silicon

However, Nokia has said in a statement that staff reduction is a necessary move because of the significant cost pressures. In the month of April, Nokia had said that the company planned to cut costs by 500 million euros by the end of this year, with 350 million euros targeted to come from operating expenses and 150 million from sales costs.

Nokia acquired the France-based Alcatel Lucent for €15.6 billion to strengthen its position in the market. During the acquisition, the French government was pretty clear about saving French jobs and put up a condition that Nokia would not cut French jobs for at least five years after the acquisition, the period which is about to expire.

The company is competing against the like of Huawei and Ericsson in the telecom equipment space. The job cuts at Nokia come at a time when it is the only company among the “big five” whose R&D investments have declined over the past years but it is higher than the other four when compared to the revenue.

Apple announces transition of Macs from Intel to its own Apple silicon

By
Jeet
-

It turns out that the rumors were true. During WWDC, Apple officially announced that the company will be switching to its own ARM-based Apple Silicon for some of the Mac devices. While making this announcement, Tim Cook touted it has a historic day for the Mac series.

This is a major move from Apple to ditch Intel for the chipset and use its own chips. It also means that the macOS will now be able to support native iOS and iPadOS applications along with macOS apps.

MacBook Apple Silicon

It’s noteworthy that Apple isn’t moving to ARM-based Apple Silicon exclusively, at least not yet. The company will be releasing its first Mac device powered by its own chip later this year but it is also working on new Intel-powered devices as well.

However, in the future, it won’t be surprising if the Cupertino-based giant decided to move away from Intel in favor of its own ARM-powered chip. One of the biggest advantages that the ARM-based chip will offer along with powerful performance is a much longer battery life compared to what is currently available.

Apple has also confirmed that its own applications will be updated to support its own upcoming chipset with the new macOS Big Sur. Apart from Apple, Microsoft and Adobe have also started working on updating their own apps for the new silicon, including Office 365 and Creative Cloud.

EDITOR’S PICK: ASUS ROG Phone 3 gaming smartphone will debut in July

The newly announced macOS Big Sur comes with a new version of Rosetta which will automatically translate existing apps at the time of installation. This will ensure that the apps run without issues even though the developers haven’t fully updated it.

To make the development work easier, Apple also launched the “quick start” program. It offers documentation and sample code to help developers make the transition. Developers can also purchase the “Developer Transition Kit” which comes with a Mac Mini powered by Apple’s A12Z chip along with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD.

Mac Apple Silicon Performance

It seems that the move from Apple to shift towards ARM comes after Intel’s slowing performance gains. But Apple isn’t the only company that has been planning to shift towards ARM. Microsoft has been experimenting with the same for years.

Microsoft had launched the Windows R operating system, which was aimed for ARM-based hardware. Now, the company is offering Windows 10 for ARM and worked with Qualcomm to integrate Windows 10 in Surface Pro X powered by the SQ1 processor.

Recently, we reported about the project of Windows 10 for ARM on Lumia devices continuing to make progress with the addition of several new features. However, a fully-fledged Windows 10 laptop running on an ARM processor is yet to make its debut.

Yesterday, Redmi confirmed that it will be starting with the pre-sales of the Redmi 9 smartphone in China on June 24.

According to Indian tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore, Redmi may also announce the Redmi 9A entry-level phone alongside the Redmi 9. Since the Redmi 9A will be positioned lower than the Redmi 9, it may come with a lesser amount of RAM and storage.

At the end of the previous month, the same tipster had revealed the entire specs of the Redmi 9 series that includes Redmi 9A, Redmi 9 NFC edition, Redmi 9C, and Redmi 9. There is no information on when the Redmi 9C models will be made official. The tipster had revealed that the Redmi 9A will come with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in storage.

Nintendo plans to stop making new mobile games

Nintendo is one of the biggest game companies in the world. The Japanese company has shaped the lives of quite a number of folks with its popular consoles: the latest being the Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite; as well as its decades-old games such as Super Mario and Legend of Zelda.

A few years ago, Nintendo began making games for mobile phones too. However, the company has not recorded as much success as it has on its consoles. The latest news says Nintendo may finally stop making games for mobile phones.

Nintendo

Bloomberg reports that the president of Nintendo, Shuntaro Furukawa, said back in May that “We are not necessarily looking to continue releasing many new applications for the mobile market.”. That statement should not be a big surprise seeing as the company didn’t see a boost in sales as competitors did during the February to May COVID-19 lockdown period.

Over the last couple of years, Nintendo has released games such as Super Mario Run, Mario Kart Tour, Dr. Mario World. Unfortunately, none of these games have been a big hit compared to other mobile games like PUBG.

Nintendo uses different pricing systems for its games which include subscriptions for Mario Kart Tour and a one-time purchase for Super Mario Run. This is different from the approach other games use which is a freemium model with upgrades for characters and weapons that cost money. Nintendo also believes that its games work better with controllers it designed rather than touchscreen-only devices.

It is reported that Nintendo will turn its focus to already released games rather than release new ones for the current fiscal year.
