Mediatek announces its 5G SoC will hit the market in Q1 2020

Taiwanese semiconductor company MediaTek today held a press conference where it announced its financial results for the first half of 2019. As reported, the company racking a 16.8% monthly increase in revenue while on a yearly basis, its revenue grew by 1.8%. While the results show the company is back to winning ways, what actually grabbed our attention is the announcement about the company’s first 5G chipset.MEDIATEK 5g

MediaTek’s CEO Cai Lixing announced that the company will roll out samples of its 5G SoC bearing the Helio M70 modem in Q3 2019. While they will begin mass-producing the chipset in Q1 2020, meaning by this time next year, we might have seen smartphones powered by MediaTek’s 5G SoC.

EDITOR’S PICK: Realme’s 64MP Quad Camera Smartphone will go official on August 8

MediaTek had earlier released details of its 5G modem but the name of the chipset it is built on is yet to be released. The chipset is said to have ARM architecture with Cortex-A77 CPU and Mali-G77 CPU. The baseband will support the Sub-6 GHz frequency and would integrate a third-generation AI processing engine. The chipset will also have camera support of up to 80 MP and 4K 60fps video recording. OPPO and Vivo are among OEMs that were announced to have partnered MediaTek for its 5G chipset. So expect the BBK subsidiaries to be among the first to launch 5G phones with MediaTek’s 5G modem and expectedly, cheaper price tags.

Kindle Oasis 2019 Review: The fastest, lightest, warmest Kindle

Until now, I continue to believe that the Amazon Kindle is simply the best. While we usually do not tend to consciously compare such products, Kindle, in my opinion, is without an iota of doubt the best for e-book readers.

The Kindle series comprises an entry-level Kindle dubbed the Kindle PaperWhite, and the Kindle Oasis, which is also touted as the flagship benchmark in this popular lineup.

Kindle Oasis 2019 Review: The fastest, lightest, warmest Kindle

Without prior notice, Amazon updated the Kindle Oasis a few months ago. I was finally able to catch a glimpse of this flagship e-book reader device in Beijing. Just a month after that, I am ready to review the upgraded e-book reader on various parameters.

Let’s review the parameters of the new Kindle Oasis:

Size: 159mm * 141mm * 3.4mm (the thickest part 8.3mm)
Screen: A new generation of 7-inch electronic ink screen, 300ppi, 16 grayscale
Storage: 8GB / 32GB
Weight: 188 grams
Battery life: Read half an hour every day, turn off wireless, brightness Up to 13 weeks of battery life.

The fastest step to showcasing the new Kindle is to adjust the color temperature.

The first change that grabbed my attention is the reading light. If you were to show your friend or colleague what the new Kindle Oasis can do without wasting a lot of time, all you need to do is to simply turn the 13 warm light reading lights on. The warm color of the eyes represents it in the best possible way.

The eye protection propaganda has been doing the rounds both online, as well as offline for over ten years. Unlike previously launched models that emitted only white light, the latest e-book readers include warm light to changeable temperature.

Kindle Oasis 2019 Review: The fastest, lightest, warmest Kindle

The new Kindle Oasis comes with 24 levels of color temperature, coupled with a blend of 12 white LEDs and 13 warm LEDs. What is the big idea behind having 25 lights? Well, the new Kindle Paperwhite features just five LED lights, and Oasis has five times.

As someone who fancies reading in an all-white environment, this seems to be a pure state. It is worth noting that when you adjust the color temperature, you’d notice that the warm light at a low level is surprisingly subtle.

Kindle Oasis 2019 Review: The fastest, lightest, warmest Kindle

On the downside, you are likely to feel little unevenness when you see carefully. As you increase the color temperature, the warm light gets brighter, but the color temperature becomes unbalanced. This irregularity will eventually fade out.

While for me, personally, the color temperature even halfway to the night feels uncomfortable; however, someone who prefers a warm screen will surely like it as it resembles an old book feeling under warm light. Regrettably, due to natural light, the effect is invisible even indoors during the day unless you turn the warm light to maximum. When the sun sets, you can re-adjust the color temperature for a better viewing experience.

You can set warm light to turn on automatically when the sun sets, or any other specific time. Based on your location information (derived using network location), Oasis will determine the time the sun rises and sets. Much to my chagrin, when I turned the automatic brightness adjustment on, the position and light did not change. Interestingly, you have the option to optimize the backlight even when it is turned off.

Just like its predecessor, the new model sports a 7-inch E-Ink ink screen with 300 PPI (pixels per inch). Thanks to the high PPI, when I reduced the font size, the screen was still quite easy to read. Aside from reading, the UI interface will have more information density as compared to other readers like the PaperWhite. Hardly anything has changed compared to old models.

The screen hasn’t just undergone a radical overhaul in terms of appearance. The new Kindle Oasis features a newfangled E-Ink ink screen. The page refresh rate is 20 percent faster than previously launched models, thanks to the refresh rate of the ink screen.

The sophisticated yet similar body design

If you need to make a product that doesn’t boast an impressive array of features and top-end specifications highly appealing, just make it elegant and beautiful.

Kindle Oasis 2019 Review: The fastest, lightest, warmest Kindle

Both, Apple Watch Series 4 and iPad Pro 11 aren’t feature-rich devices, nor do they offer something to shout about in terms of functionality. Nevertheless, it is still hard for many consumers to refrain from buying these products. Kindle Oasis falls into the same category.

While the market is brimming with a slew of more advanced e-book readers, consumers are still likely to go for the Kindle Oasis, thanks to its eye-catching aesthetics. It continues to garner popularity among e-book readers since 2017.

While you can disagree that Kindle has enabled you to read more books, you simply can’t deny that it looks stunning. It will be hardly surprising if people dump PaperWhite and decide to shell out extra money on the Kindle Oasis just because of its awe-inspiring design.

Nevertheless, the new model retains the previous generation’s integrated metal body design. Moreover, unlike the bulkier older model that weighed in at 194g, the new version is theoretically lighter, weighing in at just 188g, which is exactly how much the iPhone 7 Plus weighs.

If you don’t plan to hold it for a longer period, this weight is still manageable. The physical page-turning button is quite unconventional for e-book readers; however, once you get used to it, you might not prefer clicking on the screen as it might affect your overall reading experience.

The panel in the page-turning section is too smooth, in my opinion. As a result, sweat usually remains there and you need to ensure you clean it, again and again, to avoid dust from settling on it. The texture of the one-piece metal body is relatively different than that of plastic and skin-like materials. It won’t be easy to use it as a “skin-skinned” Kindle version of Kindle PaperWhite 4. It is highly recommended that you use a protective case to use it more confidently.

Waterproof, and no change in interface and network

After the PaperWhite 4 was designed to be able to withstand accidental splashes of water, waterproofing has been made available for the Kindle Oasis series as well. Keeping in line with that, the new series supports IPX8 waterproof. In other words, you can carry it to the pool with you, sip cold soda, and read your favorite book without worrying about damaging it due to unforeseen spatters.

But I still don’t recommend that you let it be drained with water all day long. After all, “waterproof splashing is not handcuffed” is also the experience of all the waterproofing equipment. You don’t often want to take a bath or at the beach. Use it when you need it because the screen will appear random and chaotic after the water is splashed. More water resistance is just a strategy used for peace of mind.

As far as the battery life is concerned, the Kindle Oasis is “reading for half an hour every day, turning off the wireless, and running for 13 weeks under the brightness level,” according to the official description of the product. This description seems to be quite similar to the description of the previous generation, which suggests there is no change. With mild use, it should work for about a month.

Despite introducing the beautifully designed Kindle Oasis, it looks like Amazon isn’t taking this e-reader segment quite seriously, given that it has opted to keep the design same. Even the 20-year Micro-USB interface hasn’t yet been replaced with a USB-C.

The aforesaid shortcomings stop the Oasis from becoming a better reader. The battery life isn’t something to shout about either, and it doesn’t offer enough power to justify the series. As if that weren’t enough, it is still unable to connect 5G WiFi. Since I use 2.4G and 5G WiFi dual-open, I was able to access the huge bookstore behind Amazon Mall.

The most preferred way to read nowadays is with e-books. Whether or not Kindle is an ideal e-book is not important as reading e-books is becoming a part of our fast-paced lives. Aside from enhancing people’s knowledge, e-book reading is also increasing their possessiveness.

I do not fancy reading an e-book using the Kindle. The iPad Pro allows me to access the MS Paint and MS Office anywhere, and I don’t think the Apple Watch Series 4 can replace that for me. Nevertheless, I think they are all good.

While choosing Kindle PaperWhite 4 is a good idea, many consumers buy other readers simply for their appealing design.

Xiaomi Mi Gaming Laptop 2019 appears at ChinaJoy

A little while back, Xiaomi announced that it would soon launch the successor to the 2018 iteration of their Mi Gaming Laptop. Since then we’ve gotten teasers and leaks for the device, but now we get an actual look at a physical unit. These images come straight from the Intel booth over at ChinaJoy 2019, so there’s literally no chance that these are fake.

Taking a glance at the design of the device itself, it seems to follow the same principles as previous Mi Gaming laptops. In fact, it’s practically the exact same chassis as the previous device. Absolutely no surprises here, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing. One of my favourite things about Mi Gaming laptops are the understated and simple designs.

As for the specifications, it seems to line-up pretty well with what the leaked specs. We’ve got a 9th Gen Intel Core i7-9750H processor, as well as the latest NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. Accompanying that we have 16GB of RAM, as well as a 512GB SSD. Perhaps the biggest change we’re seeing here is the new 72% NTSC display with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Overall, there’s not really all too much to say about the new Mi Gaming Laptop. Now, it’s possible there will be more variants of the device if all the leaks are true. Nothing too surprising here, but it’ll probably perform really well like the previous Xiaomi gaming laptops. We’ll have to wait a couple more days if we want to find out everything. In the meantime, stay tuned on Gizmochina.com for any updates on gaming laptops.

Realme’s 64MP Quad Camera Smartphone will go official on August 8

Realme had confirmed a few weeks back that it was working on a 64MP camera smartphone. Now, Realme’s CEO, Madhav Seth has given us an official date of its launch, August 8. The company will take the wraps off the new model at an event in New Delhi, India, possibly becoming the world’s first smartphone maker to launch a 64MP camera smartphone.

Realme 64MP QUad cameras

Realme is in close competition with the Redmi brand in India as well as in China. Interestingly, even Redmi has confirmed a 64MP camera phone in development. However, we don’t have a word on its release date. What makes Realme’s new phone so special is not just its 64MP camera but also its quad-camera setup. The company has confirmed the presence of four cameras via its teaser, which will also make it the first Realme smartphone to feature more than two cameras.

Realme has already teased what the new 64MP sensor is capable of. The company’s CEO had shared a camera sample from the large sensor and it turned out to be pretty detailed. Back then, he also confirmed that India will be the first country to get the new 64MP Realme model.

Editor’s Pick: Redmi teases the World’s First 64MP Smartphone with a Camera Sample

Last year, the Realme 2 was announced in August and the Realme 2 Pro was made official later in September. So it is speculated that the 64MP smartphone could end up being a part of the Realme 4 series. However, given its quad-camera setup, it’s very likely that this new model ends up in the premium Realme X series or comes as a brand new lineup.

The 64MP sensor inside the new Realme smartphone should be the Samsung’s 64-megapixel GW1 1/1.72″ sensor that has a big pixel size of 1.6microns.

 

AirDrop vulnerability reveals phone number and passwords to third parties

A new security flaw has been discovered in Apple‘s AirDrop feature which can let anyone with the computer and right software access some critical information, including phone numbers and Wi-Fi passwords.

A report from Hexway claims that users just need to have Bluetooth turned on the broadcast to fall prey to this vulnerability. It says that “simply having Bluetooth turned on broadcasts a host of device details, including its name, whether it’s in use if Wi-Fi is turned on, the OS version it’s running, and information about the battery.”

Apple AirDrop

It also adds that using AirDrop or Wi-Fi password sharing broadcasts a partial cryptographic hash which can easily be converted into a phone number. In the case of a Mac, a static MAC address, which can be used as a unique identifier—is also sent in Bluetooth Low Energy packets.

Hexway has also shared a video demonstrating the vulnerability in action. It’s a fairly simple process for malicious third parties. With a proof-of-concept trial, the report was able to gather dozens of iPhones and Apple Watches within range. All that was needed for this was a computer and sniffer dongle.

Hexway is calling this issue more of a “behavior” than a “vulnerability” as it is baked into iOS. Currently, the only security measure you can take against this flaw is turning off Bluetooth entirely, which may not be an appropriate solution for everyone.

While Apple may find more secure ways to protect data like phone numbers when it’s over the air between devices, eliminating its use entirely could be quite a challenge since those details are needed for devices to identify themselves to each other when using AirDrop.

HTC may return to the Indian market this month

There was a time when HTC was one of the top smartphone makers in the world, but the company made a ton of mistakes in past few years & now, we hardly see someone having an HTC device. The company hasn’t stopped making phones, but the thing is, no one wants to buy them since they are usually overpriced.

Last year, HTC stopped selling phones in India due to the low sales, but now, HTC is reportedly making a comeback in the Indian smartphone market. It is reported that new phones from the brand are coming this month in India. This is a pretty interesting development for the company, it’s rare that we get to see a company make a comeback.

Some sources now suggest that the company will sell its phones through Inone, an Internation Distribution Network that currently holds HTC’s license for India. A source told PTI that HTC is making a comeback to India after a gap of more than a year and is set to launch a new flagship series in the next few days. It is set to offer many firsts in the smartphone industry with the new launch in line with its legacy of firsts.

There was a time HTC’s phones were known for the build & design, the speakers, the user interface & more. Let’s hope HTC will make a good comeback this time by not launching overpriced phones. Moreover, it is the Indian smartphone market & hence, you have to launch phones at an aggressive price to attract customers since the competition is so tough.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro to reportedly come with AirGlass and SuperSensing Camera

In this second half of the year 2019, many flagship smartphones are expected to get launched. Samsung is all set to launch its Galaxy Note 10 series phones next week while the next-gen Apple iPhones are expected to get launched next month.

Huawei is also gearing up to launch its next-generation Mate-series flagship smartphones — Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro in the coming months. Along with those two phones, Mate 30 Lite variant is also expected to get launched.

Now, the company has been grated a couple of new patents which gives us an idea about what to expect from the upcoming Mate 30-series flagship smartphones from Huawei. The company has been granted patents for AirGlass and SuperSensing Camera.

The Mate 30 series phones are now expected to come with AirGlass screen protector on top of the display instead of Corning Gorilla Glass. The Huawei AirGlass is defined under Class 9 and its detailed description includes “Covers for smartphones; cases for smartphones; Protective glasses; covers for tablet computers; protective films adapted for smartphones; Stands for adapted for mobile phones.”

On the other hand, the SuperSensing Camera module will be used in the upcoming Mate 30 series smartphones. This was first implemented in the P-series flagship series from Huawei launched earlier this year — Huawei P30 and P30 Pro with a 40-megapixel primary sensor as a part of its quad-camera setup.

The Image Signal Processor (ISP) and the Kirin 980 chipset works in such a way that it allows 40% more light to enter, producing detailed pictures, as per the company. The same technology will now be used in the upcoming flagship smartphones.

As per the reports, the smartphone could come with four camera sensors on the back, consisting of two 40-megapixel camera sensor. The report says that the phone will come with a 40MP 1/1.5” RYYB sensor with a variable aperture of f1.6 – f/1.4. It will also have a feature called Cine Lens which can be enabled while recording a video.

The second camera will be another 40-megapixel camera but this time it has a 120-degree ultrawide angle lens and an f/1.7 aperture. It also has the Cine Lens feature too for those times you want to record videos with the ultrawide angle lens.

The third camera is an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. This is most likely the same periscope camera as that of the Huawei P30 Pro and should have up to 50x digital zoom. There is no mention of a fourth sensor which is most likely a ToF sensor.

Reports indicate that the Huawei Mate 30 series smartphone could get launched in October this year and will be available for purchase from November 2019. While the 4G models will get launched in October, the 5G model from this series could get launched in December.

ZTE’s self-developed 5G Chip will be available later this year

Both Huawei and Qualcomm have developed new-age 5G modems for the smartphone market. However, Huawei’s 7nm Balong 5000 modem has an edge over Qualcomm’s existing 10nm X50 modem as it supports both NSA (Non-standalone) and SA (Standalone) networks. And it looks like a new Chinese company will join the party later this year as ZTE’s executive confirms that its self-developed 5G chip will be available in the second half of the year.

ZTE’s CEO, Xu Ziyang, had revealed late last month that the company was working on a 7nm based 5G chipset. But recently, ZTE’s Senior VP and Chief Strategy Officer, Wang Xiang confirmed that the 7nm based 5G chipset will be available later this year. Unfortunately, we don’t have any details about its specifications.

Editor’s Pick: Qualcomm and Tencent are teaming up for 5G and Gaming Smartphone

He further added that 5G smartphones are costlier than 4G counterparts because it uses 50% more antennas. Another reason is that the 5G chips haven’t been mass-produced, so their costs are still pretty high. But he believes that the price of 5G smartphones will come close to 4G ones by the second half of next year.

ZTE Logo

ZTE relies on Qualcomm chipsets for its smartphones. It isn’t a big enough player in the smartphone industry to justify a self-developed 5G chipset for smartphones. So, it’s likely that the new 5G chip is targeted at CPE and IoT products.

Sharp works with JDI to develop a foldable phone, abandons Samsung

While the Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X are all the rage nowadays, Sharp‘s actually had a folding phone in the works for almost just as long. They had a prototype shown off a couple of months back, but the company’s been quiet about it ever since. That was at least until earlier today, with sources claiming that Sharp has begun work with fellow Japanese company JDI to begin work on developing a foldable smartphone.

This actually comes as a bit of a surprise since we had originally heard that Sharp was working with Samsung on their folding phone, though it also makes sense that they chose JDI instead. Japanese companies usually avoid working with Korea due to the ever intensifying Japan-South Korea trade war, and Sharp themselves rarely work with companies outside of their home country when it comes to their own products.

JDI is a seasoned veteran when it comes to mobile phone display production, though they have a heavy emphasis on LCDs over OLED displays. They’ve certainly produced OLED displays in the past, but it has never been one of their main selling points before. What this could mean is that Sharp’s folding phone will come with an LCD instead of the standard OLED.

Sharp isn’t exactly a big name when it comes to the smartphone market, but what they do have tends to be very solid when it comes to build and performance. We’re certainly looking forward to their inevitable folding phone, regardless of when it arrives or who makes the display. For now, stay tuned on Gizmochina.com for any updates on the matter.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus hand-on video shows the phone’s design

Samsung is currently gearing up to launch its upcoming flagship smartphones at a launch event on 7th August — Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 Plus. Ahead of the phone’s launch, we’ve seen a few renders of the device getting leaked.

Now, the leaks have gone a step ahead and a hand-on video using the dummy of Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus have surfaced online. It showcases the design of these upcoming devices and confirms the rumors of its design and features.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ Hands-On

The first difference you’ll notice compared to the Galaxy Note 9 is the size of the device. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 features a 6.3-inch display, which is the smallest screen size since the Galaxy Note 7. On the other hand, the Plus variant of the smartphone comes with a 6.8-inch display.

Another thing that’s noticeable at first glance is the lack of 3.5mm headphone jack. Yes, Samsung has finally ditched that headphone jack and now you’ll have to rely on Bluetooth earphones or the USB Type-C earphones.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ Hands-On

The positioning of the camera module has also been changed in the upcoming next-generation Galaxy Note-series smartphones. On the backside, the camera module is now placed in the top-left corner with sensors stacked vertically. As for the front-facing camera, it is at the center of the display.

As per the reports, the triple camera setup of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will come with a primary sensor, a telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide lens. On the other hand, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus will come with four camera sensors on the back, where the fourth sensor will be a ToF lens that we saw on the Galaxy S10 5G model.

From the leaked video, it seems that most of the positions for the buttons will stay the same as its predecessor. The SIM card tray stays at the top while the S Pen slot is still at the bottom. As per the reports, there will be 5G models of both these devices — Note 10 and Note 10 Plus. Also, the 5G models are expected to be the same size as the 4G models.

Earlier this year, in February 2019, China-based Vivo launched its premium mid-range smartphone Vivo V15 Pro. Just a month after it launched, the smartphone emerged as the fastest-selling V-series smartphone for the company.

Now, the Vivo V15 Pro has received a permanent price cut in the Indian market for both the variants — 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM. The company has slashed the phone’s pricing by ₹3,000 which roughly converts to $43.

The 6GB RAM model of the Vivo V15 Pro will now be available for ₹23,990 (~$346) instead of ₹26,990 (~$390) while the 8GB RAM model costs ₹26,990 (~$390) instead of its original pricing of ₹29,990 (~$433). The new pricing is now live on e-commerce stores likes Flipkart and Amazon as well as offline stores.

Vivo V15 Pro

The development comes at a time when rumors are indicating that the company has stopped the production of both the V15 series smartphones — Vivo V15 and V15 Pro. It is being reported that the phones will eventually be discontinued and will only be available in offline stores until stock lasts. At the moment, the phones are still available to buy on the online Vivo Shop.

The reason for the discontinuation of the V15 series smartphones is said to be because of the upcoming Vivo S-series which includes the MediaTek Helio P65-powered Vivo S1. Vivo is also launching the iQOO sub-brand in India soon which may also be one of the reasons for the discontinuation. Also, the recently launched Vivo Z1 is cheaper and better than the Vivo V15 smartphones.

Coming to the camera department, the device comes with a triple camera setup that includes a primary Samsung ISOCELL GM1 48-megapixel sensor with f/1.8 aperture, a secondary 8-megapixel sensor with f/2.4 aperture and a third 5-megapixel lens with f/2.4 aperture. On the front side, it comes with a pop-up selfie camera of 32-megapixel (Samsung ISOCELL GD1) with f/2.0 aperture.
