Xiaomi’s entry into Western Europe could still be said to be in its infancy. The brand first launched its products officially in the region in November 2017 with a launch event in Spain. But the company seems to have gained some traction in Western Europe and recently, Xiaomi’s CFO revealed plans to expand in the region.

A Xiaomi Store in China

A market analytics report by Strategy Analytics has indeed confirmed Xiaomi’s rise in Western Europe. The report claims the Chinese company is now firmly established as the fourth-largest smartphone vendor in the region, only behind the likes of Samsung, Apple and Huawei. This is despite having zero presence there just 2.5 years ago.

Xiaomi’s rise is attributed to the continuous collaboration with local operators, resulting in huge gains across Western Europe. Much of that growth was achieved at the expense of Huawei, which continues to shrink in the region following the US ban.

Xiaomi’s total global smartphone shipments remained flat annually in Q1 2020. Despite the lack of growth, the company performed much better than the overall smartphone market, which declined -17% YoY in Q1 2020. Xiaomi’s global market share by volume thus increased to all-time high of 10%.

“In an extremely challenging environment, due to the COVID-19 crisis, which affected the industry both on the demand and supply side, Xiaomi was affected to a lesser extent than the other big Chinese brands (Huawei, Oppo, vivo), because of its more diverse geographical footprint and online channel distribution approach”, the report states.

May 6, 2020

HMD Global has announced a couple of phones this year such as the Nokia 8.3 which is its first 5G phone and other 4G phones such as the Nokia 5.3 and Nokia 1.3 and the resurrected Nokia 5310. A rumor going round has revealed key details about a new phone said to be the Nokia 6.3.

Nokia-6.2 — Nokia 6.3 reported to keep the notch of the Nokia 6.2 pictured above

A report by MySmartPrice says the Nokia 6.3 is coming, and the info comes along with some key specifications.

The upcoming mid-range phone is said to have a Snapdragon 670 or Snapdragon 675 processor inside it. The two processors may not be the chipsets folks are expecting to grace a 2020 phone but they are pretty good choices for the device seeing as its predecessor has a Snapdragon 636 processor. Based on this info, we presume the upcoming Nokia 7.3 will come with a Snapdragon 720G chipset.

The source also reports that the Nokia 6.3 will have four rear cameras with Zeiss lens. Sadly, there is no info on the camera configuration. However, the front camera is said to be a 16MP sensor.

With respect to design, the Nokia 6.3 may come with a waterdrop notch HMD Global like its predecessor and should have a PixelWorks display chip for upscaling SDR to HDR.

The launch is set at Q3 which is still months away but the pandemic may cause the date to be adjusted.

AnTuTu Top 10 Best-performing mid-rangers (April 2020): Dimensity 1000L still ahead

By

May 6, 2020

AnTuTu today released its top 10 charts for flagship models and at the same time, the ranking for mid-range models was also released. The ranking shows MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000L still continues to dominate this segment despite the release of a couple of new mid-range chipsets like the Kirin 820, Kirin 985 and others.

In terms of the mid-range list, with the release of multiple new machines equipped with mid-range SoCs, this month’s rankings have also changed, but they still haven’t challenged the number one OPPO Reno 3.

The OPPO Reno3 5G with a Dimensity 1000L chipset manages an average score of 405,159 points to occupy the top spot. The Kirin 820-powered Honor 30S burst into the scene to occupy the second spot, edging out the Exynos 980-powered Vivo X30 5G. The third position is occupied by another new entrant – Vivo S6 5G equipped with an Exynos 980 SoC.

The Redmi K30 5G with a Snapdragon 765G chipset is at the fourth spot while the Vivo X30 is now ranked at number 5. The sixth to tenth spots are occupied by Vivo Z6 (Snapdragon 765G), OPPO Reno 3 Pro (Snapdragon 765G), Honor 9X Pro (Kirin 810), Huawei Nova 6 SE (Kirin 810) and Honor Play 4T Pro (Kirin 810).

One important thing to note from the ranking is the gradual dominance of 5G smartphones. Apart from the bottom three Huawei models powered by the 4G Kirin 810 chipset, all other phones that make up the top 10 are 5G-enabled. This means in the next few months, we won’t only be having several flagship 5G phones but also 5G mid-rangers.

As an afterthought, I’m wondering why OEMs are still shunning the Dimensity 1000L despite its superb benchmark perform. Perhaps, benchmarks don’t sell phones, right?

May 6, 2020

Xiaomi officially announced the MIUI 12 custom ROM on April 27 during the Mi 10 Youth launch event. Less than 10 days after, the company has now launched the MIUI 12 Pilot Testing Program for the Redmi K20 Series and it is global recruitment.

The Redmi K20 series was listed among the first batch of models to get MIUI 12 when it was first announced. The recruitment is open to users of the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro. Both models make up the K20 series released last year as Redmi’s first flagship smartphones. We expect the company to expand the list of eligible devices in the coming weeks.

Interested owners of the K20 models have until May 14, 9 PM IST to apply for the pilot testing program. Since this is for a beta version, expect the software to contain bugs. So, it isn’t advisable to install on your primary device.

The new MIUI 12 brings Dark Mode 2.0, revamped control centre, battery app, file manager, Notes app, calendar app, and more. It also comes with new themes, Always on Display and several features.

Xiaomi is yet roll out the global version of MIUI 12, but that may likely be done on May 8 when it takes the centre stage in India to unveil the Mi 10 and other products.

Largan, a well-known supplier of smartphone camera lens recently shared its sales report for April. According to the data, the firm’s revenue decreased by 13.98% compared to March. It was also declined by 6.03% YoY (year over year).

The company made a total of NT$4.683 billion (US$155 million) in this period. The types and quantity of lens it sold in April are as below.

20 megapixels and above accounted for 20-30%
10 to below 20 megapixels accounted for 40-50%
8 to below 10 megapixels accounted for 20-30%
Below 8 megapixels accounted for 0-10%

Further, OEMs have reduced their orders by up to 30% for the second quarter. This will further affect the company’s revenue in the coming months.

Below-mentioned are the companies and the amount of orders they cutback for the next quarter.

OEM	Orders Slashed for Q2 2020
Samsung	30%
Oppo	20-30%
Xiaomi	10-20%
Huawei	5-10%

Last month, a report revealed Samsung to have lowered smartphone components orders by 50%. And now, the new report proves it again. Being the largest smartphone manufacturer, South Korean chaebol plays an important role in the success of component manufacturers.

On the other hand, Huawei decreased its camera lens orders by a minimal amount as China is recovering, which is the company’s largest market.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has shaken the economy of the world. It is uncertain when everything will go normal once again.

Even though the screen is bigger, the Surface Go 2 will work with the keyboard of the original, so if you own the first-gen model and plan to make the switch to the new one, you don’t need to purchase a new keyboard.

AnTuTu Top 10 Best-performing Flagship phones (April 2020): Still a Snapdragon 865 affair

By

-

May 6, 2020

Mobile phone benchmarking outfit AnTuTu has released its Android mobile phone performance ranking for April 2020. The top 10 flagship models are still Snapdragon 865-powered smartphones only. However, there are a few new models that moved up the ladder compared to the previous month (March).

With the release of another wave of Snapdragon 865 models, new changes have taken place in the top 10 flagship list for April. The iQOO Neo 3 and OPPO Ace 2 entered the top 10 rankings and edged the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Black Shark 3 Out of the list.

OPPO Find X2 Pro still occupies the number one spot and for the second month running with an average score of 607147 points. The Find X2 moved into the second spot, edging the Mi 10 Pro. The Find X2 rise in ranking may be related to the further improvement of stability after the firmware update.

At the third spot, is the new entrant – iQOO Neo3 while the Mi 10 Pro is now ranked at the fourth spot. The 5th-10th places are occupied by the OPPO Ace 2, Redmi K30 Pro, iQOO 3, Realme X50 Pro, Vivo NEX 3S, and Black Shark 3 Pro in that order.

Antutu noted that smartphones with a higher screen refresh rate (90/120Hz or higher) and faster flash memory (UFS 3.1 or UFS 3.0 with Turbo Write enabled) will perform better than smartphones without these upgrades even though they both run on the same mobile platform. Also, software optimisation is still another important aspect which perhaps explains why the Blackshark 3 Pro is at the bottom of the ladder despite packing a powerful hardware configuration including a heat dissipation system.

LG Velvet official price tag revealed; costs over $700!

By

-

May 6, 2020

LG’s upcoming mid-range phone has been in the news a lot lately, thanks to LG’s refusal to keep a sealed lip on the features and specifications of the device. Now the manufacturer has revealed the price of the phone which is known as LG Velvet.

The LG Velvet is an upper mid-range 5G phone that is the first to adopt a new design. The Snapdragon 765-powered smartphone will sell for a whopping KRW 899,800 (~$735/₹55,745)!

That sure is pretty expensive for an upper mid-range phone but the LG Velvet is practically a flagship with an upper mid-range chipset. There are a number of flagships released this year that sell for around the same price and even lower.

LG has included an “attractive offer” for buyers in its home country. LG says it will sell the device for half its price if the buyer agrees to return the phone after 24 months to purchase another LG device.

The LG Velvet will pack a 6.8-inch curved Cinema FullVision display with a waterdrop notch and support for HDR10. It has stereo speakers, 48MP triple rear cameras, and a 16MP selfie camera. The Snapdragon 765 processor is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage It also has an IP68 rating, NFC, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 4300mAh battery with support for wireless charging and Quick Charge 4+.

It remains to be seen if the aforementioned specifications will convince buyers to overlook the processor and shell out such an amount for the LG Velvet. However, we think it would be more convincing to buy if the phone actually shipped with the LG Dual Display accessory and stylus but those have to be purchased separately.

Xiaomi will be launching the Mi 10 in India online on Friday the May 8th. At the same event, the company also confirmed to launch true wireless earbuds, a rebranded Mi AirDots Pro 2. Today, the company revealed to announce one more product, which will turn any TV into a smart TV. Going by the teaser, it will be either Mi Box or Mi TV Stick.

Imagine watching all that amazing content on #Internet on your TV.

Mi fans, we're launching one more device with #Mi10 on May 8. Leave your guesses in comments.

— Mi India (@XiaomiIndia) May 6, 2020

Xiaomi is currently the top smart TV company in India. The brand sells various models of televisions in the country under Mi branding. However, it is yet to debut Mi Box in the region, which is popular in Cina as well as in some western countries where it is officially sold.

The last international version of Mi Box, the Mi Box S was launched in late 2018. It was only recently updated to Android TV Pie. But since it is over one and a half years old now, we don’t expect the company to launch it in India.

Because Xiaomi is India’s largest market outside China and this region is mostly first to get new products. Also, some products debut first in the region like the recently launched Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.

Here's the entire list of Xiaomi's Smart IoT products that will be launching in Europe in upcoming months!
Thanks to my exclusive Chinese source 😉 pic.twitter.com/qQMH3FTGyX

— Sudhanshu (@Sudhanshu1414) April 16, 2020

Hence, the teased product could be Mi TV Stick, which was leaked earlier by a well-known tipster Sudhanshu on Twitter. According to his tweet, this IOT or ecosystem product will be launching this month in Europe. But before that, Indians might get the first dibs on it.

Anyway, this is just a speculation and we will know exactly what this product is on May 8.

The hotly-anticipated Mi 10 series was unveiled via an online-only event in China in Feb. this year. The recently-unveiled line comprises the Mi 10 and the Mi 10 Pro premium flagship phones.
