Apr 16, 2020

It is well known that the smartphone market has seen slight stagnation in recent times. This also translates to the mobile chip industry as well, with the global cellular baseband processor also seeing a decline of 3 percent (year on year over 2018) in 2019. However, during the overall decline, 5G enabled chipset saw growth to 2 percent market share during this period.

2019 was the year that 5G networking broke out into the market. In its nascent stages, the premium grade flagships were the only handsets that housed chipsets that supported the newer and faster bandwidth. Despite this, the market saw decent success and even managed to gain an overall market share of 2 percent. Furthermore, the growth was facilitated by early adopters, which includes Qualcomm with its 5G modems in its Snapdragon processors, Huawei with its HiSilicon Kirin flagship processors and even Intel.

Qualcomm held the most dominating position for 5G enabled chipsets, with 41 percent market share. HiSilicon came in second with a 16 percent market share while Intel came in third with 14 percent. The rest was made up of by various other brands, but these three are the major contributors by far. Prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, it was expected that 5G would become more mainstream in 2020. And despite it all, the trends showcase that brands are still placing an emphasis on 5G over 4G, especially new and flagship models.

During this same period, 4G LTE baseband shipments have declined year on year for the first time. The only exceptions to this are Intel and Unisoc, while other players in the market all seeing a fall. Only time will tell now regarding just how far reaching the effects of COVID-19 actually is, and what it may mean for the market overall in 2020. So stay tuned.

Samsung faces the lowest operation rates ever in its entire history

Apr 16, 2020

Samsung, the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, is facing the lowest operation rate ever in its entire history. Despite being one of the largest consumer grade electronics maker and a major multinational brand, the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic has severely crippled its operations.

According to reports, the South Korean tech giant has halved its smartphone manufacturing. The company even had to temporarily shut down various factories and offline stores across the globe, due to the various government enforcing local lockdowns. For those unaware, a new strand of Coronavirus has caused a global pandemic, leading governments to shut down various factories and production lines. This has affected various fields including the smartphone industry.

ETNews have reported that Samsung might be facing an all time low of its operation rates in the Q2 of 2020. Furthermore, the closed factories will also lead to increased fixed costs, lower production output, lower sales, and dropped revenues. As it stands right now, raising the production will only make inventories pile up, as the company already has stocks remaining from previous months.

At the moment, it seems like the global economy is heading for a recession, which in turn makes people less likely to spend on things that are considered non-essential. Samsung has already closed down its smartphone and home appliances factories in nations like India, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Slovakia, Vietnam, and even the US. Additionally, it is expected that the closure and lockdowns will extend by another month at the very least.

On the other side, Samsung is also helping wherever it can to combat the COVID-19 virus. The firm has donated about $24.6 million already to its home country, South Korea and $5 million in India. It also offered special schemes that allow disinfecting of smartphone screens for free. So, despite best efforts, the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic are all but devastating right now.

Apr 16, 2020

Yesterday (15th April 2020), Honor, the Huawei subsidiary, had unveiled the company’s latest mobile processor, the Kirin 985 SoC. The chipset is an octa core processor and is 5G enabled. Now, George Zhao, the President of Honor, has stated that the chipset will be positioned between the flagship Kirin 990 and mid range Kirin 820 chipset, and will be aimed at device priced under 3000 Yuan (roughly 420 US Dollars).

The HiSilicon Kirin 985 5G chipset has been proprietarily developed and is the third 5G ready mobile processor that the company has launched. In an interview, the senior Honor official answered questions regarding its newly launched chip. According to George, the Kirin 985 SoC is meant to act as a bridge and fill the gap between the Kirin 990 and Kirin 820.

The processor is a flagship unit and will be shipped with devices carrying a price tag under 3,000 Yuan. In other words, it will be a more viable offering in budget flagship smartphones that does not compromise too much on performance over the company’s faster Kirin 990 5G SoC. The Chinese tech giant is placing an increasing emphasis on 5G networking as it is the future of smartphones and cellular data.

The HiSilicon Kirin 985 houses an integrated 5G modem alongside the new Mali-G77 GPU. It also features the same dual core NPU as the Kirin 990 and has been specifically designed for improvements on “processing power, communication capabilities, thermal and structural design.” Previously, we had reported on the processor crossing the 380,000 mark on AnTuTu benchmark ratings, so it seems that the chip is powerful, to say the least.

Apr 16, 2020

LineageOS, the most-popular aftermarket Android distribution was recently updated to version 17.1 based on Android 10. When it happened, a number of devices soon garnered official support and we even made an entire list of official devices back then. Now, the Exynos Galaxy S9 / Galaxy S9 Plus and Galaxy Note 9 has been added to the list, in addition to Realme 2 Pro, however, it only supports LineageOS 16 for now.

The Exynos-powered Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, and Galaxy Note 9 have been lately receiving unofficial builds of LineageOS 17.1 by a number of developers on the XDA Developers forum. But now, these devices are now finally receiving official builds for the first time. For comparison, the LineageOS project still does not support the Snapdragon variant of these smartphones yet.

The officially supported LineageOS 17.1 Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9 Plus, and Galaxy Note 9 models are as listed below.

Galaxy S9
- SM-G960F
- SM-G960F/DS
- SM-G960N

Galaxy S9 Plus
- SM-G965F
- SM-G965F/DS
- SM-G965N

Galaxy Note 9
- SM-N960F
- SM-N960F/DS
- SM-N960N

As mentioned earlier, the Realme 2 Pro (RMX1801) is also now officially supported by LineageOS project. But unlike the above-mentioned Samsung devices, the builds are limited to LineageOS 16 based on Android Pie. Hopefully, it will gain support for LineageOS 17.1 once the company rolls out the stable Realme UI update to it.

Sadly, the legendary Redmi Note 4, well-known in the custom ROM community has been dropped support for LineageOS as the maintainer no longer has the device with him.

Google is developing Custom Chips for Pixels and Chromebooks

By

Apr 16, 2020

Last week, a report from South Korea revealed Samsung to have partnered with Google to supply custom Exynos chips to the internet search giant. Now, a new report by Axios confirms this venture and also discloses more information.

According to the latest report, Google is developing new in-house chips to use in its Pixel lineup of smartphones and Chromebooks. It could debut on Pixels as early as next year if all goes well.

This new custom Google chip codenamed Whitechapel will be manufactured using Samsung’s 5nm process. Hence, the previous report seems to have mentioned it as a custom Exynos chip. It is not the first time Samsung is producing chips for a rival, it has previously manufactured Apple’s A-series mobile chips.

The report says the new chip will be an octa-core ARM processor with optimization for Google’s machine learning technology. It will also have components to improve the ‘always-on’ capabilities of the Google Assistant.

As per the previous report, the chip will feature two Cortex-A78 cores, two Cortex-A76 cores, and four Cortex-A55 cores for CPU. Whereas, for graphics, it will use the new unannounced Mali MP20 GPU based on Borr microarchitecture. Lastly, it will feature custom ISP and NPU designed by Google, which the new report confirms.

Google has already designed chips for its devices like the Titan M security chip and Pixel Visual Core. Making a whole SoC by itself to reduce dependency on chipmakers as Qualcomm could help the Mountain View company to compete against Apple, who has been making custom mobile processors for years.

Designing and manufacturing custom processors is a tough job and it takes years to master. If Google tries hard to hang on to this project for a long time, the Pixel smartphone lineup can finally make a stand for itself in the sea of Android smartphones with better software integration similar to what Apple does with iOS.

Meizu might finally announce its Meizu 17 flagship smartphone on April 17 according to a teaser posted by the company on Weibo a few days back. The device has been rumoured and leaked for a few weeks now. We even get to see a couple of live pictures of it and now once again another real-life image of Meizu 17 has emerged on the internet.

Unlike the previous two live images leak, this one does not clearly showcase the device. Because the Meizu 17 in this picture is placed in a translucent laboratory coat, whereas the first-ever real-life image of the device showed it in hand and the second picture was shot in a subway with a case on.

All the real-life pictures of Meizu 17 that have leaked so far confirms a new camera placement design. This same design can be also seen on a render leak from earlier this month. Thus, it is certain that the upcoming Meizu 17 will indeed have a horizontal camera array unlike vertical and matrix camera placement on other devices in the market.

The design also involves the brand’s signature LED ring, which sits at the center flanked by two cameras on its either side. To know more about the Meizu 17, check out the AnTuTu specs leak from last week.

Houseparty, the video chat social application has become quite popular and has seen massive growth amid the coronavirus lockdown across several countries. The app is one of the top choices when it comes to being connected with the loved ones as social distancing and government lockdown came into effect.

A report from app store analyst App Annie suggests that Houseparty has hit the record numbers in the month of March 2020. Now, the company has itself revealed that the app has seen over 50 million sign-ups last month, which is claimed to be 70 times above normal in some markets.

During the past 30 days, Houseparty has reportedly seen 17.2 million new installs across iOS and Android platforms. A different third-party estimate from Sensor Tower reports 28 million installs. The numbers don’t include the company’s app on Mac and Chrome.

Thanks to the surge in popularity and usage, Houseparty became the leading Social app in 82 countries, including the U.S. App Store. It was also the third leading Social app on the U.S. Google Play store. The app grew to become the No. 1 Overall app in 16 countries.

According to the company, the average time in conversation per user remained at more than 60 minutes and the average session times sometimes reached as high as more than 80 minutes. Since the app is designed for social hangouts, it has attracted younger users.

While Houseparty doesn’t reveal its metrics publicly, the company seems to be sharing the data about its popularity to distract people from the recent controversy. The app was recently accused of a data breach through social media posts from users claiming that user data was being used to access other accounts, like Netflix and Spotify.

The company denied the breach and even suggested that the social media posts were a part of a “paid commercial campaign” aimed at harming its business. Later, the company announced a $1 million reward for any evidence that proved it. So far, nothing yet has come of that and some of the accusations posted have also disappeared.

Qualcomm responds to MediaTek’s allegation over benchmark cheating controversy

By

-

Apr 16, 2020

Last week, chipset maker MediaTek found itself at the centre of a controversy related to the benchmark cheating. A report alleged that MediaTek purportedly allowed OEMs to enable a “sports mode” in benchmark apps.

The so-called “sports mode” on the devices is believed to ramp up things like the memory controller and scheduler in order to facilitate faster performance.

In its defence, the company said that this was a common industry practice and that its “key competitor” was also guilty of this practice. While MediaTek didn’t directly name its arch rival Qualcomm, the “key competitor” part clearly hints at Qualcomm.

The US-based Qualcomm has now issued a statement to Android Authority regarding this controversy. In the statement, the company denies whitelisting such benchmarking apps hack. It says: “Whitelisting refers to the technique of using the app name to determine whether to put the device into performance enhancement mode. The action of whitelisting a benchmark app is generally considered by the industry as cheating since it defeats the purpose of a benchmark, which is to reflect user experience for day to day use. Qualcomm does not whitelist.”

There’s a possibility that MediaTek could be referring to other chipset makers — Huawei and Samsung. However, both of them mostly make chipsets for their own smartphones and Samsung occasionally sells its chips to others. Thus, the only major direct competitor to MediaTek remains Qualcomm.

The controversy comes at a time when Taiwan-based MediaTek is making a comeback into the market with some great chipsets such as MediaTek Helio G-series and the new Dimensity 1000 flagship processor.
