Apr 2, 2020

Xiaomi was one of the first companies to launch a phone with a 48MP camera (Redmi Note 7 Pro) in 2019. Later in the same year, it also became one of the first smartphone manufacturers to launch devices with a 64MP camera (Redmi Note 8 Pro) as well as a 108MP camera (Mi CC9 Pro). Now, according to Sudhanshu, a well-known tipster on Twitter, Xiaomi is working on a phone with a whopping 144MP camera.

Xiaomi is working on a phone with 144MP camera sensor.
I guess it should be Mi 10S Pro or Mi CC10 Pro

— Sudhanshu A. (@Sudhanshu1414) April 2, 2020

The megapixels game on smartphones was dead for a few years since the Nokia Lumia 1020. But when Sony announced its 48MP IMX586 sensor, the game was back on with Samsung, another major supplier of smartphone cameras joining the bandwagon.

As for clients, Xiaomi is one of the few companies participating in the Megapixel race. Being the first to launch a phone with a 108MP sensor, the brand wants to continue the streak with the upcoming 144MP sensor as suggested by the tipster.

As per the tip, this new 144MP sensor could either debut on Xiaomi Mi 10S Pro or Mi CC10 Pro. However, the leakster did not say anything about who will be supplying this sensor to Xiaomi. As of now, only Samsung is rumored to be working on a 144MP camera sensor so there are high chances of it being the sole supplier of this new large sensor.

Apr 2, 2020

One of what should be the most protracted merger deals in the tech industry has finally come to a conclusion. That is T-Mobile and Sprint’s merger deal. The merger was first announced around April 2018 and has met several obstacles on the way which has prevented a deal from getting sealed all this while.

It took almost two years after T-Mobile US officially announced its merger with Sprint as well a several hearing and legal negotiations with US regulators to get to this point. The deal worth $23 billion will result in a collaboration of the third and fourth-largest wireless carrier in the US in terms of subscriber base, forming a new company known as “The New T-Mobile”.

The entities will equally join forces in terms of infrastructures to take on AT&T and Verizon Wireless the top 2 carriers in the US. Sprint’s spectrum and subscribers will be transitioned to T-Mobile. Sprint possesses a precious 2.5GHz mid-band spectrum which is ideal for 5G. The new T-Mobile will deploy this spectrum alongside T-Mobile’s own low-band 5G (600Mhz) for a nationwide rollout. T-Mobile says it will offer eight times faster speeds compared to LTE and expects the speeds to get up to 15 times faster over the next six years. T-Mobile also plans on using the mid-bands to cover Americans in rural areas.

As part of a deal made with US regulators, Sprint will sell its prepaid assets including Boost Mobile, its 9.3 million subscribers, more than 7000 retail stores, and its 800Mhz band spectrum to Dish Network, creating a new #4 carrier in the US. Dish will maintain these subscribers on T-Mobile’s networks as an MVNO under a seven-year lease while it develops and rolls out its own 5G network. Boost Mobile will be transitioned under the Dish Network brand. The new T-Mobile promise not to change its pricing for three years even with 5G offering.

As a result of the merger deal, T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere has stepped down earlier than the April 30 expiration date of his contract. The company’s President and COO, Mike Sievert has now stepped in as the new CEO of “The New T-Mobile”. Legere will remain as one of T-Mobile’s new board of directors. Legere assumed the position of T-Mobile’s CEO in 2012 and oversaw several massive growth with the company going from 33.3 million subscribers at the end of the third quarter of 2012 to 86 million customers at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.

Apr 2, 2020

The whole world is going through troubled times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the severely affected countries by the virus are under lockdown in order to maintain social distancing. Because of this, several business industries are suffering in a way they had never dreamt of. But the current situation has turned out to be favorable for the gaming industry as the sales of consoles and games surged higher.

To stop the spread of the coronavirus, people around the world are being advised to stay home and follow social distancing as much as possible. Some countries even went ahead and ordered total lockdown to enforce people to stay indoors.

Thus, people have nothing to do (those who can’t work from home) other than stream media and play video games. According to an analysis by Gamesindustry.biz on the recent data from Games Sales Data (GSD), the consoles and games sale climbed between March 16 and 22.

Ever since Microsoft and Sony started hinting the release of their next-generation gaming consoles, the sales of consoles declined in recent months as people are waiting to invest in the latest products expected to release in the holiday season. However, the current situation urged people to buy the existing current-gen consoles like PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

As per the data, the sales of consoles rose to 155%, which is significantly higher in recent times. The consoles’ sales in Australia were up by 285.6%, 250% in the UK, 140.6% in France, 84% in Italy, and 66% in Spain. Whereas, digital game downloads were up by 52.9% in 50 markets without including Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Interestingly, even physical games sales jumped to 82%.

During these hard times, video gaming has become a viable option to kill time for most people according to the sales data.

Huawei is reportedly looking into LG‘s display technology for the supply of its upcoming Smart Vision TV. The news arrives after reporters learned that the company will soon be launching a new smart screen product later this month, while another source claimed the supplier for the displays will be LG.

Yu Chengdong (also known as Richard Yu), the CEO of Huawei Consumer Business, stated that the domestic conference will retain the big move for a new generation of smart screens. In other words, a shift of supplier for the latest generation of Smart display products.

Huawei had announced on 30th March 2020 that it will be launching a new smart screen product on 8th April 2020. Certain teasers from the company were also shared, that depicted a mechanized popup camera of a much larger scale than the previous generation. LG is a known manufacturer of OLED displays, so this move can be understood if the South Korean company has made an noteworthy improvements in its technology.

Unfortunately, this is still unconfirmed and we will have to wait for the official launch conference on 8th April. Notably, Zhihao, the President of Huawei Consumer Business for the IoT Product Line, said that this will be Huawei’s most expensive product launch at the moment. So stay tuned for the upcoming event as we will be covering it.

Apr 2, 2020

After more than two months since news of Redmi launching a smartband surfaced, we finally have a launch date. Thankfully, we do not have to wait for long.

The official Redmi Weibo account shared a poster today teasing the arrival of its first wearable which should arrive as the Redmi Band. According to the Weibo post, the wearable will be announced tomorrow at 14:00 hrs (China Time).

While the poster doesn’t show the smartband itself, another poster has surfaced on Weibo that may possibly be that of the Redmi Band, although it is not stated.

The poster says the unnamed smartband launches tomorrow too at 14:00 hrs. It has a rectangular color display and will be available in orange, green, black, and blue. We can’t say outrightly that this is the Redmi Band since the manufacturer’s logo isn’t on the poster. However, based on the leak from January which shows the Redmi Band with a rectangular display, there is a high chance it is it.

The Redmi Band should come with features such as a calorie counter, pedometer, and a heart rate sensor. It should also be able to receive notification alerts when connected to the phone. We won’t rule out the possibility of it having NFC for payments.

Oppo Reno 5 might succeed the Reno 3 series, Possible launch in May

By

Apr 2, 2020

The Oppo Reno 5 series could be the direct successor to the Reno 3 series, according to a new report. The news arrives from Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, from the account of Digital Chat Station.

For those unaware, the number ‘4’ is generally considered as bad luck in Chinese tradition. Thus, OEM’s sometimes skip the names of their products with this number. A popular example of this is the OnePlus 5 series which arrived directly after the OnePlus 3 series. As of right now, finer details regarding the Oppo Reno 5 series is unknown.

Unfortunately, its internal specifications are still at large at the moment, but going by the industry trend, a few educated guesses can be made. The Oppo Reno 5 series is likely to be a mid segment smartphone and may arrive with either Qualcomm’ Snapdragon 765G SoC or MediaTek’s new Dimensity chipsets. Furthermore, it is also possible that it may feature a high refresh rate display and quite possibly the newer and faster 5G network as well.

Although, these are just speculations so take this with a grain of salt. Despite having the name revealed, we still don’t know a lot about the Reno 5 series. But the Weibo post did mention one crucial information, which is the release date that is set sometime in May 2020. So stay tuned for additional information that should arrive in the next couple of weeks.

Huawei lost $12 billion in Revenues after US ban and loss of Google Apps in 2019

By

-

Apr 2, 2020

Back in early 2019, Huawei had been hit with a ban from the US, that placed the company in the “Entity List.” Since then, the company’s operations have been severely hampered while it has also lost support from Google, due to the blacklist. While the company did launch its own alternatives, it seems the transition wasn’t as simple as they wished, with the company reportedly losing out on billions of dollars.

According to Eric Xu, the Deputy Chairman and Rotating Chairman of Huawei, the company has lost out on nearly 12 billion US Dollars in 2019. Apparently, Huawei’s previous projections regarding the year had an estimated 135 billion US Dollars. However, the company has fallen just short of the amount, which was directly related to the various “US sanctions” that were against the Chinese tech giant.

A major chunk of the shortfall arrived from Huawei’s consumer division that accounts for over 54 percent of the company’s total sales in 2019. Xu stated that “it is the consumer business of Huawei that was hurt the most.” In other words, smartphones, tablets, laptops and more were affected by the US blacklisting. Reportedly, these consumer grade electronics products brought in 66.93 billion US Dollars in revenue in 2019, which was about 10 billion US Dollars less than what the company was originally targetting.

For those unaware, after the US ban, Huawei could not trade or buy products/services from US based companies. This caused it to lose Google’s mobile services, which in turn meant that Huawei smartphones now had to ship with vanilla Android. Thus, this caused the development of the HMS (Huawei Mobile Services), but unfortunately, the platform is still in its nascent stages. Huawei’s partnership with Google also meant that both companies profited greatly from one another, but that has since been terminated.

Fossil finally launches the Hybrid HR smartwatch in China for a starting price of 1890 Yuan ($266). This smartwatch with a fusion of classic design and smart features was first announced back in November of 2019.

The Fossil Hybrid HR is unlike other smartwatches in the market featuring a classic watch design complete with mechanical arms.

The e-ink display on the Hybrid HR measures only 1.06-inch and is enclosed in a stainless steel casing with no support for touch input. And thus, the smartwatch has to be controlled using three push buttons on the right side, out of which the middle one resembles a crown but unfortunately it is not one.

The smart features of the watch include app notifications, call, and message alerts, music controls, weather, multiple time zones, stopwatch, timer, fitness tracking, and sleep tracking. The watch comes with Bluetooth 5.0 to connect with smartphones running iOS 10 / Android 5.0 and above.
