LG patents an expanding phone with a folding display

Nov 18, 2019

This year we’ve been seeing a lot of foldable phone concepts get thrown around. Samsung and Huawei are leading the pack, with Motorola close behind. LG had a novel concept earlier this year with the LG G8X ThinQ, a device that used a second display simulate a folding phone. Now however it seems like LG wants to join the race proper.

LG’s patent takes a markedly different approach to the whole folding phone concept in that the phone itself doesn’t seem to fold. Instead the company has made what is essentially a phone with an expandable display. The phone looks generally like a standard smartphone, but the display can be extended to both sides, making the display wider. The aspect ratio makes it seem a lot more like an e-reader than a smartphone.

While it’s a very interesting concept, it’s clearly still very early in development. We can assume the extra display tucks into the sides of the housing, but it’s not clear where the cameras, sensors or other essential parts of the smartphone would go on the device. On top of that, we’ve no idea where they would supply parts for such a device.

It’s really quite exciting to see all the possibilities that come with the arrival of flexible displays. We’ve already seen three completely different takes with the Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X and Motorola Razr. Now it seems even LG has a completely different take, and it’ll be quite exciting to see how it turns out. We’re hoping to see a prototype at CES, especially considering how the device has allegedly been in the works for quite a while now.

Samsung will outsource a fifth of its smartphone production to Chinese ODMs in 2020: Reuters

Nov 18, 2019

Samsung will reportedly outsource nearly a fifth of its smartphone production, coming to around 60 million units, to Chinese ODMs like Wingtech in 2020. This move comes at a time when Samsung is changing its low-end smartphone strategy to compete with existing segment leaders like Xiaomi and Huawei (Honor).

Samsung Galaxy A10s — Galaxy A10s is one of the few ODM smartphones launched by Samsung in 2019

Samsung has traditionally designed and manufactured most of its smartphones in huge factories based in Vietnam. In fact, the company closed its last factory in China this October, giving lucrative severance packages to its employees which included Galaxy S10+ and other models as gifts.

Only around 8% of the total smartphone production was outsourced to ODM companies like Wingtech in 2019. But according to the new Reuters report, this figure is all set to jump to 20% or around 60 million units in 2020. The company has been in talks with ODM makers like Wingtech since last year to shift some of its production to their factories. And it looks like we could see a majority of Samsung’s low-end and mid-range models coming from these ODM makers in the coming months.

Why are Smartphone makers outsourcing their production to ODMs?

ODMs or Original Design Manufacturer designs and makes smartphones (usually budget and mid-range ones) that are then rebranded and sold by other smartphone companies. Samsung’s new production strategy to outsource some of the budget manufacturing to ODMs make sense because of the savings in the cost of production.

Since ODMs are involved in manufacturing smartphones for a lot of brands, they have huge economies of scale advantage. They are able to procure components nearly 10% to 15% cheaper than traditional means, translating into a lower production cost per unit. It should come as no surprise that companies like Huawei, OPPO, and Xiaomi rely on ODMs for their smartphone production.

Is there a Potential downside?

While ODMs provide tremendous cost advantage, there have been questions about quality. Samsung’s low-end and mid-range smartphones, manufactured by these ODMs, wouldn’t directly be controlled for quality by Samsung, unlike in its own factories in Vietnam.

The Reuters report adds that Samsung’s increased orders could give these ODM makers additional experience and knowledge to further improve their competitiveness in the market and lower costs for its other clients like Huawei and Xiaomi.

Samsung Galaxy A6s — Galaxy A6S was Samsung’s first ODM smartphones

Nevertheless, shifting some of the low-end model production to ODMs seems like a necessary move. Even LG is moving its low-end and mid-range smartphone production to ODMs to improve its pricing strategy.

WhatsApp’s critical security bug poses threat from malicious MP4 Files

Nov 18, 2019

From the past few years, WhatsApp has remained the favorite target for hackers and social intruders. The popular messaging service has recorded various data theft issues in the past. It has remained in headlines since recent weeks over the vulnerabilities and data thefts by Israeli spyware firm NSO. The messaging app is once again in the talks as Facebook has issued an official advisory regarding a critical bug posing threat from malicious MP4 files.

Must See: WhatsApp Business gets “Catalogs” feature; WhatsApp Pay may not launch in India

In detail, the MP4 can trigger tag by sending a specially crafted MP4 file. The potential hacker can inject code by parsing the elementary stream metadata of an MP4 file that could result in DoS (Denial-of-service attack) or can even initiate Remote Code Execution. It does not need any authentication to perform the attack remotely. The company has classified the vulnerability as ‘Critical’ due to the severe consequences if someone misuses the loophole.

The critical bug is found on the WhatsApp versions before 2.19.274 on the Android and iOS versions prior to 2.19.100. Similarly, the issue is present on the Enterprise client versions 2.25.3 and older; Windows versions including and prior to 2.18.368; Business for Android version 2.19.104 and older; Business for iOS versions before 2.19.100.

The hackers can inject malware or any explicit code which could have compromised data and essential information of several users. It can even become a backdoor for surveillance purposes. However, the issue was found by the internal team and was not disclosed by any eternal researcher or analyst. But no one knows that someone could have used it to intercept the data. We expect the company to release an immediate update patching the bug. The issue can be tacked under the CVE-2019-11931 code.

Additionally, WhatsApp recently issued grave concerns over Pegasus, a spyware tool to intercept messages developed by Isreal based cyber intelligence company NSO Group. The spyware was used to snoop 1400 individuals throughout the world, especially in India. The targeted accounts were of some journalists and human rights activists. However, Whatsapp replied to the Indian government when they sought an explanation over the issue by saying that “We agree with the government of India’s strong statement about the need to safeguard the privacy of all Indian citizens. That is why we’ve taken this strong action to hold cyber attackers accountable and why WhatsApp is so committed to the protection of all user messages through the product we provide,” a WhatsApp spokesperson had said in a statement.

On Nov. 26, Honor will be launching the Honor V30 series of flagship phones in China. Ahead of the launch, the Chinese manufacturer has started with the reservations of the Honor V30 series. The official Vmall online store along with other e-commerce sites like Jingdong Mall and Tmall are now receiving the registrations of the Honor V30.

In the past few weeks, plenty of details on the Honor V30 series have appeared, but none of them seem to be very accurate. The series is expected to include Honor V30 and Honor V30 Pro smartphones. It is speculated that there could be a special Honor V30 Aston Martin edition in China. In the Europe, the series could be called Honor Vera 30.

Editor’s Pick: Huawei Mate X being resold at up to 60,000 yuan via third party websites due to lack of supply

The Honor V30 could be a non-5G phone fueled by Kirin 990 chipset whereas the Honor V30 Pro could be the company’s first 5G phone driven by the Kirin 990 5G chipset. The handset will be supporting both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) 5G modes. The Honor V30 may include a 4,000mAh battery with 40W fast charging. The Pro model may house a 4,200Ah battery along with 40W rapid charging and it also carry support for wireless charging.

The Honor V30 Pro could be coming with dual front-facing cameras housed inside a pill-shaped camera module. On the other side, the Honor V30 could be also featuring a punch-hole display with a single front camera. It remains to be seen whether both phones are equipped with side-mounted fingerprint scanners. The predecessor Honor 20 and 20 Pro phones had featured side-facing fingerprint readers.

As far photography is concerned, the Honor V30 and V30 Pro may feature a rectangle-shaped camera module. The V30 could be fitted three rear-mounted cameras whereas the V30 Pro could be decked with four rear-mounted cameras. Both phones are rumored to be equipped with 60-megapixel main cameras on their rear. The Honor V30 series will come with new “Camera Matrix” algorithm that will make it possible to capture better photography experience.

Hopefully, the Honor V30 and V30 Pro phones will soon appear on TENAA with their full specifications. On Nov. 26, the Chinese is also expected to unleash other products including Kirin 810 powered Honor Tab 6 alongside the V30 series of phones.

Meizu 17th render hides the Front Camera in the status bar

Meizu’s obsession with symmetry has given rise to beautiful smartphone designs like the Meizu 16S Pro featuring slim bezels. However, the company’s pursuit of zero bezels might have reached a new breakthrough. According to a Meizu 17th render shared on Weibo, the phone could have a tiny front camera on the display that hides in plain sight.

The Meizu 16S Pro came with a front-facing camera in the top bezel, making it slightly thick. However, the front camera is placed among the icons in the status bar in this new Meizu 17th render. It looks like a non-intrusive design with the tiny front camera stacking up alongside the network and battery icons on the status bar.

We saw the Vivo S1 feature a very tiny front camera sensor on its display. So, Meizu could use a similar strategy to bring this render to life. Thanks to the new placement of the camera, the bezels on the top as well as the bottom are extremely thin, thereby increasing the screen to body ratio. The render also shows a screen fingerprint solution on the front. There are three cameras at the back with a ring flash below the setup.

I should add that this is most likely a fan-made render of the Meizu 17th. We have already seen another render with a totally different design (it had a curved display).

Also, if you remember, we had seen ZTE patent a very similar design for a smartphone. The punch hole camera was hidden between the network icons. You can read more about it here.

Nov 18, 2019

After months of delays, Chinese tech giant Huawei finally started selling its much-anticipated Huawei Mate X foldable smartphone in its home market last week. It was reported that all the units of the device were sold out in less than a minute.

Now, it has been confirmed that the next sale of the smartphone will take place on 22nd November. However, the smartphone is already available for purchase in the Chinese market, but not through official channels.

As per the report, the Huawei Mate X 5G is available for purchase in China through third-party websites. However, the cost of the device through these channels is substantially high. While the official pricing starts at 16,999 Yuan (~$2,420), the third-party sellers are charging as much as 60,000 Yuan (~$8,557) for the same device. The reason for such high pricing is being attributed to the lack of supply of the smartphone from the company.

The Huawei Mate X foldable smartphone was first showcased by the company during Mobile World Congress 2019 in February this year. According to Yan Zhanmeng, Research Director of Counterpoint Research, the company will manage to sell more than 100,000 units of the Huawei Mate X smartphone.

The smartphone features a large 8-inch screen with a 2480 x 2200 pixels screen resolution and an 8:7.1 aspect ratio when unfolded with pretty thin bezels. When folded, it transforms into a dual-display phone – one side is a 6.6-inch (2480 x 1148 pixels) 19.5:9 display while the other is a 6.38-inch (2480 x 892 pixels) 25:9 display.

It comes packed with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It has dual SIM support (nano only) but only SIM 1 supports 5G. You can also swap out the second SIM card for Huawei’s NM card up to 256GB. The device also comes with the 7nm Balong 5000 modem which brings 5G support to the device.

The phone runs the EMUI 9.1.1 custom interface, which is based on Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. As for the connectivity options, the device supports NFC, dual-frequency GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, and USB Type-C port.

The device has two built-in batteries, which offers a total capacity of 4,500mAh. Huawei has also debuted its new SupercCharge fast charging technology which supports up to 55W. The company claims that the new SuperCharge allows users to charge the device from empty to 85 percent in just 30 minutes.

Redmi Note 8 Pro Snapdragon 730G edition does not exist, reveals Lu Weibing

Recently, a Xiaomi phone with model numbers M1912G7GBE/C was certified by the 3C authority of China. A leakster had claimed that it is an upgraded version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro featuring the Snapdragon 730G chipset. Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing has debunked the rumors by giving a negative response on its existence.

As it can be seen in the below shown screenshot, a Weibo user asked whether an advanced version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro featuring Snapdragon 730G, 27W fast charging and in-display fingerprint reader exist. Lu Weibing replied by saying no.

So, the identity of the M1912G7GBE/C remains a mystery. It seems to be a high-end phone since the 3C certification revealed that it could be shipped with a 27W fast charger. In addition, there is another upcoming 5G phone that has a model number of M1911U2E. The device has only bagged approval from the National Radio Authority in China through which it was confirmed that it is a 5G device. It is yet to receive 3C certification. Since it is a 5G phone, it is being speculated that it could be the upcoming Redmi K30 5G phone. However, it is advisable to wait for newer reports before confirming on it.

Editor’s Pick: Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G on sale for 3,299 Yuan ($471), making it the cheapest 5G model in China

Speaking of Redmi K30 series, many reports have claimed that it may debut before the end of 2019. However, Weibing confirmed last week that the Redmi K30 series will break cover next year. The series is expected to arrive with 5G support.

Qualcomm and MediaTek are both going to announce flagship and mid-range 5G chipsets in the coming weeks. The US based chip maker is reportedly working on SM7250 that is believed to be the Snapdragon 735 5G SoC and Snapdragon 865 flagship chipset. On the other side, the MT6885 MediaTek SoC could be for flagship chipset whereas the MT6873 could be its mid-range 5G SoC. MediaTek is expected to unveil both at its upcoming Nov. 26 event whereas the SD865 is expected to go official at the Snapdragon Tech Summit at the beginning of the coming month. The Redmi K30 and K30 Pro smartphones are expected to feature any of these chipsets. The lineup is expected to support dual-mode 5G and come with a pill-shaped display with two front-facing cameras.

Oppo has already revealed that the company will be hosting a press event on 20th November at the Minsheng Modern Art Museum in Beijing where it will launch the next-generation ColorOS 7 custom operating system.

Ahead of the official announcement, the company has released a couple of teaser videos which reveals some of the features of the upcoming ColorOS 7 Android skin.

The company will be introducing a Focus Mode which will help the user better their sleep pattern and make sure they are not disturbed during the sleep time. Previously, the company had hinted at video editing feature named “Soloop Recording” with an AI-based one-button video editing.

Further, the ColorOS 7 operating system will be better optimized for gaming as the company is all set to introduce new game acceleration features. It is said to offer great gaming experience without degrading the picture quality, frame rate and resolution.

The upcoming custom user interface from Oppo will also be designed in such a way that the UI will be more optimized and will offer comfort and efficiency to the users. To more about the features coming with the ColorOS 7, we’ll have to wait for the official launch event in China on 20th November.

We also expect the company reveal the roadmap for this new update as well as the list of compatible smartphones at the launch event. There will also be an exclusive customized edition of the ColorOS 7 for Realme smartphones, as confirmed by the Realme CEO Madhav Sheth. However, nothing much is known about it at this time, but it is expected to be closer to stock Android UI, similar to OxygenOS from OnePlus.

Poll of The Week: Dual Screens or Flexible Foldable Displays?

Nov 17, 2019

This year, we have come full circle with foldable displays. Huawei’s Mate X is an example of an outward folding device while Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is the poster child for the inward foldable device. Motorola’s spanking new Razr (2019) is actually an inward folding phone but it stands out as the first with a vertical folding design.

New Galaxy FOld Featured — The New Galaxy Fold With Slight Design Changes

Next year will bring more foldable phones but it will also bring dual-display devices such as the Microsoft Surface Duo which is scheduled to be available in time for the holidays next year and possibly, another LG flagship with support for LG Dual Screen. We also expect more manufacturers including Samsung may jump on the dual-screen train too.

Both designs have the same goal – more screen estate in a smaller form factor but with different approaches. For this week’s poll, we want to know which one you prefer – phones with dual-screens or phones with a flexible foldable display?

TCL WQ Gaming Tablet Display with 240Hz refresh rate and punch-hole leaks

Nov 17, 2019

The Huawei MatePad Pro is scheduled to launch on November 25, and when it does, it should be the first tablet with a punch-hole display. However, it definitely won’t be the last as more manufacturers will surely adopt a similar design. A new leak has revealed we may not only be getting more tablets with a punch-hole display but even one with a super impressive 240Hz refresh rate.

Chinese blogger and leakster @Digital Chat Station shared photos on Weibo of a display made by TCL Display Technology. The display which is called the WQ Gaming Tablet Display is 10.8-inches in size and has a 2560 x 1600 resolution (280 PPI). The screen has a brightness level of 500 nits and a DCI-P3 color gamut.

The spec sheet also reveals the display is 1.5 millimeters thick while the punch hole, located at the top left corner, has a diameter of 3.5 millimeters and a border diameter of 0.6 millimeters. The spec sheet also mentions the display has a GTG (gray-to-gray) response time of 2ms.

The most exciting part of the spec sheet is the screen’s frame rate (refresh rate) of 240Hz. This refresh rate is usually found on gaming monitors but TCL has been able to bring it to a smaller display size and it may show up on a tablet in the near future.

While gaming phones have become popular in the past year, there are only a handful of tablets that qualify to be called gaming tablets, no thanks to tablets declining sales. TCL’s WQ Gaming Tablet Display may help spur the development of gaming tablets with the features it offers.

In the first half of the year, LG announced three new smartphones under a new line called the W-series. The three phones which are the LG W10, LG W30, and LG W30 Pro are sold in India. A new LG device called the Neo One has been certified by the FCC.

The FCC documents reveal the phone’s model number is ZNFX210LMW. It also shows us what the device looks like as well as its specs. However, the specs and images in the manual do not match the photos of the device.

1 of 2

The user manual reveals the LG Neo One has a 5.7-inch screen but the resolution is not stated. It runs Android 9 Pie but there is no mention of the processor, RAM, and storage. The manual says the phone has an 8MP selfie camera and 13MP + 5MP dual rear cameras. However, the images provided for FCC and the one in the user manual show the phone has just one rear camera. The One Neo also has Dual-SIM support, 4G, a MicroSD card slot (128GB max,), and packs a 4000mAh battery.

[envira-gallery id=”289854″]

Live photos available on the FCC’s database shows it has a waterdrop notch and a single rear camera at the top left corner. There is no fingerprint scanner on the reflective back of the device but the diagram in the manual shows there is one.

There is a possibility there is a mixup with the documents and this phone may launch under a different name and not the LG Neo One. However, we have no info on when that will be.

— Vivo Philippines (@Vivo_Phil) November 17, 2019

Original story follows…

Vivo V1945A/T showed up on the database of China’s TENAA agency earlier this month. The smartphone is yet to go official and its moniker for China is not known yet. The same phone is reportedly coming to India and Russian markets as Vivo V17. Vivo is also planning to bring the same device to multiple markets like Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia.

Vivo Indonesia has revealed plenty of key details on the Vivo S1 Pro smartphone. It has revealed that the upcoming S-series phone will be equipped with a 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display that will offer full HD+ resolution. The smartphone promises a screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent. The display of the phone is embedded with a “Screen Touch ID” in-display fingerprint reader.

The Vivo S1 Pro is powered by Snapdragon 665 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. The internal storage of the device is 128 GB and it comes with an external storage slot that supports up to 256 GB of microSD card. The device is equipped with a massive 4,500mAh battery that supports 18W dual-engine fast charging through USB-C.

Editor’s Pick: Vivo Y19 debuts in India for Rs. 13,990 (~$195); Specifications, features and price

For shooting selfies, the Vivo S1 Pro features a 32-megapixel front-facing camera. The backside of the phone has a diamond-shaped camera system that includes a 48-megapixel Samsung GM1 primary lens and a 120-degree 8-megapixel superwide lens.

In Russia and India, it is likely to debut as Vivo V17 before the end of this month. Its sales may begin in India by the first week of December. China has recently received the Vivo S5 smartphone.

Google Pixel 4 XL vs Xiaomi Mi Note 10 vs Huawei Mate 30 Pro: Specs Comparison

Google, Xiaomi and Huawei put a lot of efforts into the camera department of their latest flagships. Well, you can not define the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 as a complete flagship given its chipset, but it is still the most expensive Xiaomi phone released globally. The Pixel 4 XL brought important improvements and innovation on the camera side and even the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is one of the most performing camera phones out there. For this reason and also because these are three amazing high-end phones for everyone, we decided to compare the specifications of Google Pixel 4 XL, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro.

Google Pixel 4 XL vs Xiaomi Mi Note 10 vs Huawei Mate 30 Pro

	Huawei Mate 30 Pro	Xiaomi Mi Note 10	Google Pixel 4 XL
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	158.1 x 73.1 x 8.8 mm, 198 g	157.8 x 74.2 x 9.7 mm, 208 g	160.4 x 75.1 x 8.2 mm, 193 g

ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Hybrid Dual SIM slot, reverse wireless charging, waterproof IP68, Face ID	Dual SIM slot	SIM slot + eSIM, IP68 waterproof

Design

If you are really searching for the most stunning design, then you should give a chance to the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Its Horizon display is simply unique. In case you never heard of it, we are talking about a panel with extremely curved edges which makes physical keys unnecessary thanks to the side touch technology. Even Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has a curved screen and a beautiful design, but not as curved as the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and it lacks the side touch technology which replaces physical keys. Google Pixel 4 XL has too thick bezels and an iPhone 11-like square-shaped camera module on the back, it is not my favorite design. Google Pixel 4 XL and Huawei Mate 30 Pro are both waterproof with the IP68 certification, while Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is not.

Display

The most amazing display panel belongs to the Google Pixel 4 XL. First of all, it has a higher definition thanks to the Quad HD+ resolution with 1440 x 3040 pixels. Further, it has a 90 Hz refresh rate making the viewing experience smoother, unlike the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. Last but not least, it features full DCI P3 coverage and supports the HDR standard. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 and Huawei Mate 30 Pro offer bigger displays, but with inferior quality.

Hardware/Software

None of these handsets is powered by the most powerful processor in the Android market. But Google Pixel 4 XL and Huawei Mate 30 Pro still come with flagship-class chipsets. The best one is the Huawei Mate 30 Pro as it boasts the more recent Kirin 990 and it even features optional 5G connectivity. The Google Pixel 4 XL takes the second place with its Snapdragon 855 chipset, while Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is just an upper-mid-ranger with its Snapdragon 730G. Talking about the software, both Google Pixel 4 XL and Huawei Mate 30 Pro come with Android 10 out of the box, but Google Pixel 4 XL updates faster to the latest versions and security patches as it is a Google phone. Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is still based on Android 9 Pie.

Camera

Despite it is not a flagship, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is the best camera phone of this comparison alongside the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. It features a 108 MP Penta-camera, while Huawei Mate 30 Pro has an amazing quad camera with two 40 MP sensors. Both capture a huge level of detail, even in low light conditions. And we can tell the same about the Google Pixel 4 XL, but it lacks an ultrawide sensor, it only provides a secondary telephoto lens besides its 12 MP main shooter. Huawei Mate 30 Pro and Google Pixel 4 XL are superior when it comes to selfies.

Battery

The 5260 mAh found on the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 makes it a champion of battery life. It does not support reverse wireless charging like the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, but there is no way other flagships can actually compete with the Mi Note 10 in terms of battery life.

Price

Google Pixel 4 XL costs €899/$899 globally, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 has a €599/$661 price tag and Huawei Mate 30 Pro costs about €733/$810 in Asia. If you need the most complete device you should go for the Huawei Mate 30 Pro since it has great cameras and amazing performances, as well as optional 5G, water resistance and reverse wireless charging. Google Pixel 4 XL has better performance, frequently-updated stock Android and a better display than Mi Note 10, but the Mi Note 10 has a higher value for money, a better camera, and a bigger battery. However, it just comes with a mid-range hardware. I would personally go for the Huawei Mate 30 Pro.
