Sep 12, 2019

According to the latest information coming from Honor, the Honor 9X Pro smartphone is about to get an upgraded AI Ultra Clear Mode, which is basically an algorithm that comprises of Super Resolution Reconstruction and AI HDR.

The new feature improves the resolution by super-resolution SR algorithm and the dynamic range of the image is further improved by the AI HDR algorithm. As per the report, compared to the normal mode, the improvement with this new feature is about 10 percent to 20 percent.

The Super Resolution Reconstruction combines multiple low-resolution images, and the sub-pixel displacement information between each pixel in the photos to estimate the missing points of the high-resolution image. Simply, multiple images with lower resolution are generated and combined to make a new high resolution image.

On the other hand, the AI HDR refers to AI-powered High Dynamic Range that is reflected in the photo which details the highlight and dark areas in the image. The larger the dynamic range, the richer the level and the AI HDR enhances the image through a deep learning network to achieve local dynamic range adjustment. This makes the picture look more natural and vivid.

The Huawei Mate 30 series will be announced in Munich on September 19. Ahead of the release, images of the Mate 30’s retail box has surfaced on the web. The images are reported to have been shared by a reviewer who got a prototype.

The Mate 30 will come in an uninteresting black box with the name of the phone inscribed in gold. The words “SuperSensing Camera” is written right next to Leica’s logo.

1 of 2

The sticker on the side reveals the Mate 30’s model number is TAS-AL00 and this version has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This was the highest configuration available for last year’s Mate 20 but we can’t say if that will be the case again this year. Nevertheless, there should be support for storage expansion via Huawei’s proprietary Nano Memory card slot.

The box also shows the phone supports TD-LTE. Chances of a 5G version of the Mate 30 are slim, so don’t expect one.

The Mate 30 will have a smaller notch than the Mate 30 Pro, just like its predecessor last year. However, Huawei has switched from a waterdrop notch to a rectangular one if this photo of a leaked tempered glass is genuine. Inside the notch will sit two cameras.

The phone will be powered by Huawei’s new Kirin 990 processor. There are reports it will have support for fast charging this year and not via an add-on accessory like the Mate 20.

Huawei executive says U.S. needs to talk with the company for China trade deal

Sep 12, 2019

Amid the US-China trade war, Huawei has been targeted by the United States to have an upper hand in the deal-making process. The trade war, which has been on-going since the past few months, has not seen any major progress in terms of reaching a deal.

Now, a top executive of the Huawei Technologies Co. has said that in order to reach a deal in the US-China trade war, the United States will need to hold talks with Huawei. The company’s Chief Security Officer Andy Purdy said, “Can I imagine a trade deal where the U.S. government doesn’t agree to talk to us? No I can’t.”

He also said that the crackdown from the US government is hurting American companies and workers more than it hurts Huawei. He added that the company spent $11 billion on U.S. supplies last year and an estimated 40,000 U.S. jobs depend on its business.

Purdy further said that Huawei wants “transparent mechanisms” for evaluating its equipment and that of its competitors, which would build “trust through verification.” He added, “We’re not asking we should simply be allowed to sell without any scrutiny. We believe there has to be scrutiny for everyone.”

The Trump administration has put Huawei on the “Entity List” through an executive order which barred the Chinese giant from using any of American companies hardware and softwares, among others. It essentially cut-off Huawei from having access to vital supplies such as chipsets from Qualcomm and Android mobile OS from Google.

Along with banning Huawei in its country, United States is also urging other countries and companies to reject Huawei technology in the next generation of wireless networks, citing national security risk without providing any proof for the allegations. Huawei, on the other hand, has denied any wrongdoing and has even accused the United States of singling it out for political reasons.

Xiaomi has today announced that the company will be launching its new flagship router in its home country China on 17th September. From the poster shared by the company, it seems that the device will have dual-band support and speed of up to 2100 Mbps.

The upcoming router is also expected to have support for 802.11ac or 802.11ax. Apart from these, nothing much about the Xiaomi’s flagship router is known right now. However, it remains to be seen if Xiaomi adopts 802.11ax given that none of the company’s devices support this protocol.

Currently, the top-end router sold by the company on its official online store is the Mi Router Pro/HD which comes with an all-metal fuselage design, AC2600 dual-band, 4×4 omnidirectional antenna, 802.11ac, support for MU-MIMO, four-port all-gigabit, as well as built-in 1TB hard drive.

Earlier this year, in March, Xiaomi had launched two routers — Mi Router 4A and the advanced Mi Router 4A Gigabit, both of them being priced at 119 yuan (~$17) and 169 yuan ($25), respectively.

Both of them provides two frequency bands of 2.4GHz and 5GHz without mutual interference. The dual-band concurrent wireless connection rate can reach up to 1167 Mbps. The 2.4GHz frequency band has longer transmission, better coverage and better wall penetration performance. The 5GHz frequency band uses 802.11ac technology, with less interference and high speed. They both run MiWROM which is based on OpenWRT and offers deep customisation.
