Huawei Mate 40 to pack a 5nm Kirin 1020 SoC with up to 50% performance upgrade

By

Mar 6, 2020

Huawei‘s next-generation Mate series smartphone is likely to adopt the Mate 40 moniker. The flagship is still several months from meeting with buyers but Huawei’s R&D has since commenced research into the upgrades it will feature. While the design may have not been finalised yet, the company is definitely going to launch the Mate 40 with a next-generation Kirin processor. Early details have emerged that the Mate 40 will pack a 5nm chipset. Going by the current-gen Kirin 990, the next version that’ll be released later this year is expected to be named Kirin 1020.

The Kirin 1020 chipset is expected to be built on a 5nm wafer manufactured by the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). TSMC is said to have one of the largest foundry factories for 5nm chip production. The manufacturing firm will reportedly commence the mass-production of the 5nm chip in the first half of 2020. Shipment is expected to start in the third quarter of the year as the company starts supplying chips for the iPhone 12 series and Mate 40 series. Both series are expected to be the first mobile phones with 5nm chips.

TSMC’s 5nm process will come in two versions- N5 and N5P. Compared with the 7nm process, N5 improves performance by 15%, reduces power consumption by 30%, and increases crystal density by 80%. On the other hand, the N5P performance is 7% stronger than N5, and power consumption has dropped by 15% again. The 5nm N5 version will be mass-produced this year, and the N5P will be mass-produced in 2021.

It is reported that Kirin 1020 performance will be more than 50% higher than Kirin 990. The CPU architecture is upgraded from A76 to A78, surpassing the Cortex-A77 feature on the Snapdragon 865. Kirin 1020 will also integrate 5G baseband.

Xiaomi to launch the MIJIA Smart Video Doorbell 2 on March 11

By

Mar 6, 2020

Xiaomi today announced a new smart product – the MIJIA Smart Video Doorbell 2. The product is expected to be launched under the Youpin crowdfunding platform at 10 AM on March 11. During the exercise, it will retail for 179 yuan ($25) but the price will thereafter be adjusted to 199 yuan($28).

The company only released a teaser video which contained the device. From the video, we can grab that this model will come in black colour. It seems to be an upgrade of the smart doorbell launched under crowdfunding last year known as Zero Smart Doorbell. This model has a larger form factor, adopting a rectangular shape that is longer than its predecessor.

The design is even more minimalist and does a decent job of masking the camera, making it look like an ordinary doorbell. The hardware and software are topnotch, as it packs an AI-enabled camera which allows you to monitor your home front. The AI deploys such features as facial recognition function. There is also motion detection such that if there is someone at the door, the camera will snap and send to your connected smartphone. The doorbell can also be linked with other AIoT products from Xiaomi like the smart touchscreen speaker and others. When connected, you can use the touchscreen speaker’s display screen to view who’s at the door in real-time.

Just below the camera is an oval doorbell button. There is equally a square-shaped portable doorbell receiver which is placed indoors. We believe the doorbell will still have an adhesive pad for mounting it outside.

On the whole, this looks like a trimmed-down version rather than an upgrade as the white version looks sleek and cooler. We’ll bring you more details when the device is launched.

OPPO Find X2 Pro Lamborghini Edition launched priced at ¥12,999 (~$1,876)

By

Mar 6, 2020

When OPPO launched the Find X in 2018, the device had a Lamborghini edition that was very popular, getting sold out within 4 seconds in its first sale. The OPPO Find X2 and X2 Pro were launched today in China. What you probably don’t know is that the company also announced the OPPO Find X2 Pro Lamborghini edition.

The Find X2 Pro Lamborghini edition is the product of a partnership with the renowned car manufacturer and draws inspiration from the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster. The model comes in black only and has a similar Lamborghini-themed design as the Find X but the manufacturing process is improved upon.

The Find X2 Pro Lambo edition features an industry-first design which is the use of a “heat-absorbing glass process” to create a three-dimensional ridged fuselage. The fuselage has four layers of superimposed technology giving it a carbon-fibre texture similar to the Lamborghini interior. The waistline and lines are light and shadowy, creating a three-dimensional and smooth feel. There is a Lamborghini logo at the back which is crafted using a special process in order to give it a three-dimensional suspension effect.

The OPPO Find X2 Pro Lamborghini Edition also comes with several customised accessories inside the packaging box. The accessories include an earbud, protective case, car charger, USB cable and charging adapter, all customised.

In terms of the specifications, the Find X2 Pro Lamborghini edition packs basically the same configuration as the high-end Find X2 Pro. This includes a Snapdragon 865 chipset, 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, among others.

The Find X2 Pro Lamborghini edition will go on sale on March 24. It adopts a hefty price tag of 12,999 yuan ($1,876).

Oppo releases the ColorOS 7.1 Update, brings Special Optimizations for Display and Memory

By

-

Mar 6, 2020

Oppo has just unveiled the Find X2 series earlier today (6th March 2020). Alongside its flagship series with its top notch specs came the latest version of the Chinese company’s custom skin. The ColorOS 7.1 was also revealed with improvements for system performance and optimizations for display, camera, better storage capabilities, and memory management.

ColorOS 7.1: Display

Starting with the display, the ColorOS 7.1 on the Oppo Find X2 series also brings support for the high 120Hz refresh rate. The company calls it the “O1 Super Sensitive Image Quality Engine” which enhances the quality of the content being displayed on the screen. The new update also brings dynamic video frame interpolation technology. This basically is an algorithm that supplements the high refresh rate display.

Traditionally, videos or movies are filmed in 30fps, but through this technology Oppo manages to optimize the content to 60fps or even 120fps, making the video experience extremely smooth. As of right now, the feature is only supported on certain applications like Tencent Sports iQiyi, Tencent Video, Amazon Prime, YouTube, Netflix, and a few other video streaming platforms. Support for more should arrive soon after.

HDR (high dynamic range) is one of the biggest inclusions in the latest premium flagship from Oppo. Unlike SDR (standard dynamic range), HDR offers more vivid colors and clearer content being displayed. Textures in images and videos are more natural and detailed, making the viewing experience a lot more enjoyable. This is also paired with an AI that runs an adaptive eye protection functionality; which automatically adjusts color temperature and brightness according to the environment to reduce irritation to the eyes.

Camera

In terms of photography, Oppo’s ColorOS 7.1 also arrives with live HDR video capture capabilities. This helps in solving various mobile videography experiences like dark or overexposed backgrounds during indoor or outdoor shots. The camera software optimizations help light up the scene to make the lightning more naturally balanced out while also offering a cinematic texture filter as well.

The improvements to the sensors features a better stabilization too, with a dual anti shake function that is present on both the primary sensor and wide angle lens. This enables a smoother videographic experience which is even comparable to certain professional grade cameras, according to Oppo.

Another notable inclusion in the camera department is the Omni directional focus technology. Earlier today, DxOMark rated the Oppo Find X2 Pro as the best camera on a smartphone, with its autofocus capabilities being one of the highlighting aspects of it. The autofocus on the Find X2 series is capable of both horizontal and vertical focus. This boosts the focusing speed and increasing the accuracy during dynamic pictures or even low light scenarios.

The ColorOS 7.1 even brings special optimizations that have the smartphones support gimbals as well. Since the gimbals have become increasingly popular for mobile photography, Oppo ColorOS 7.1 allows devices to identify the DJI or other brands of gimbals being used, without the need for installing additional applications or software.

Memory and Storage

One of the most important features that the ColorOS 7.1 brings to the table is its improvements in memory and storage management. While traditional updates bring better read and write speeds alone, the latest custom skin iteration from Oppo is capable of anti fragmentation optimizations as well. The feature is a proprietary development from Oppo and allows an 18% increase in app read speeds of large blocks of physical memory.

Furthermore, it also reduces the number of memory fragmentation by 99%. For those unaware, disk fragment with age and continuous use. This holds especially true for computers, so for a smartphone to automatically defragment itself, is a significant innovation in the mobile industry. This will also reduce the unnecessary storage being taken up by the system and will be beneficial for devices in the long run.

User Interface

The UI or user interface with the ColorOS 7.1 also saw certain improvements. The launch speed of applications has drastically been reduced while memory utilization has increased by 40%. Even games now average higher fps while multiple applications run smoothly. The improvements even extend to system apps, which now support hypertext, call translation, wireless printing and recording to text features. Notably, the call translation feature supports real time cal translations for English and Chinese, by automatically weakening the original sound and boosting the translated audio.

The OPPO Watch features a quad-optic heart rate sensor which keeps you updated on your heart’s health and can also detect anomalies. Other modes standard to a smartwatch are also present on the new watch but there are special modes for beginners like ‘easy 5km run’ and ‘5-minute easy fitness’ mode. The watch is waterproof up to 50m in water, so you can wear it while swimming as well.

Just like the Xiaomi Mi Watch, OPPO’s new watch also comes with eSIM support. This allows you to make and receive calls on the device as well as independently listen to music via your Bluetooth headphones.

As for the battery life, the OPPO Watch features dual-chip architecture. So it comes with a Snapdragon chip as well as the Apollo3 low-power chip. The company says that this two-chip design allows for longer battery life. Essentially, the Apollo3 chip will be used to power less-intensive tasks on the watch, thereby saving battery life. The OPPO Watch will last for up to 40 hours in Smart Mode and up to 21 days in Low Power mode. The company’s VOOC charging tech is also incorporated into this watch. So you can fill up your watch from 1% to 50% in just 17 minutes.

The OPPO Watch is priced as follows:

41mm Aluminum Alloy – (Black, White, Pink) – 1499 Yuan (~$216)
46mm Aluminum Alloy – (Black, Cream) – 1999 Yuan (~$289)
46mm Stainless Steel – (Black) – 2499 Yuan (~$361)

Huawei phone’s long battery life saves a Woman’s life, power lasted 3 days

By

Mar 6, 2020

A woman had her life saved recently by a Huawei smartphone thanks to its long battery life. After suffering from an accident that knocked her unconscious for three days, the smartphone’s impressive power backup lasted enough for her to call emergency services.

Beth McDermott, a 42 year old female that lived alone, tripped and fell down a flight of stairs and hit her head, knocking her out cold for three days. When she had woken up, Beth realized she couldn’t move her legs. Notably, she also suffers from rhabdomyolysis, a condition where damaged skeleton muscles break down rapidly, making it harder to move.

Huawei Y6 2019 featured — Huawei Y6 (2019)

However, she did have one lifeline, which was the Huawei Y6 she had recently purchased or £90 (116 USD). Beth initially feared that the battery would have run out after three days, but it had surprisingly still had about 50 percent charge left. Thus, she managed to call 999 emergency services and was picked up soon after by an ambulance which took her to the hospital where she had to spend a week in recovery.

Beth also explicitly stated that the event was “the most horrible experience of my life. I can’t believe I’m still alive — I wouldn’t be if it weren’t for that phone.” So, the phone was definitely her savior. Furthermore, she even said that “I wasn’t expecting it to work at all but it still had 50 per cent battery life. I couldn’t believe it had lasted so long.” Apparently, previous to the Huawei Y6, Beth used a £400 (roughly 520 USD) iPhone 6 which was notorious for losing power quickly.

Rather, the sole reason for buying the Huawei device was due to the Apple handset needing to be charged multiple times in a day, according to Beth. She even called the Huawei smartphone “a blessing in disguise.” Thus, we have another example of new generation technology and innovation where advancements in the mobile industry have inadvertently saved lives.

Mar 6, 2020

The world’s largest contract shipmaker, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.) has teamed up with US based integrated circuit designer Broadcom to develop the latest 5nm process chips.

Earlier this week, TSMC held a conference in which it announced the collaboration with Broadcom. The move to work together was made to improve the Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWoS) circuitry that supports 5nm technology. In simpler terms, the partnership will bring about a more efficient and advanced process which will be capable of manufacturing 5nm chipsets for next gen technology.

In the collaborative effort, TSMC will be responsible for providing one stop services from IC packaging to pure wafer foundry service to Broadcom. The latter has brought along with it, tech industry giants like Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, and Huawei, all of which will use the former’s 5nm process technology.

As of right now, the 7nm process from the Taiwanese chipmaker is the latest process that is currently seeing mass production. This is being done whilst the more complex 5nm and even 3nm processes are also under development. The new found partnership will see the next generation of TSMC chips providing bandwidth up to 2.7 terabytes per second, which is 2.7 times faster than the CoWoS solution which was previously offered back in 2016.

According to the chipmaker, the higher bandwidth and memory capacity translate to better results during memory intensive workloads such as deep learning, 5G networking, and power efficient data centers. This will also benefit the smartphone market, IoT industry, and even automotive electronics as well. The development of the new 5nm process and its future will have the chipmaker’s capital expenditure set around 15 to 16 billion US Dollars in 2020 alone.
