Samsung Galaxy S11 patents reveal an Expandable Display

In less than a month, the Galaxy Unpacked Event will take place, where the high-end Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series will be unveiled. The new launch date for the Galaxy Fold may also be announced around the same period. Right after that, we’re probably going to back to waiting for the Galaxy S11. Usually the S-series is just a simple, bland flagship device, but if these new renders are true, we might be in for a surprise.

Now, Samsung annually records a large number of patents to protect future smartphone designs and technologies. Sometimes the designs are so futuristic that an actual market introduction will take years, or will never happen. This time, however, the Korean manufacturer has had a design patent filed that seems to be a little easier to realize. It seems to be a very effective solution to get a bigger display into your pocket.

Since it is a design patent, there is unfortunately no detailed description included that answers the question how this smartphone can be pulled out. The images do show that the Galaxy S11 screen on the right is enlarged. The frame border around the screen also shifts partially, so that the flexible display remains well protected against external influences.

Earlier this month LetsGoDigital also reported on a retractable Samsung smartphone. However, that model could be pulled in two directions, this time the screen area is only enlarged on the right side. Technically this will probably be much easier to achieve, partly because a smaller screen needs to be stored in the small housing.

Chances are that this design also uses a rail mechanism that supports the flexible display. A striking feature of this design is the punch hole camera system, which is positioned in the middle. This part of the screen will therefore not be able to move. Since the screen can only be slid to the right, the remaining screen surface is presumably also stored in the housing on the right-hand side, possibly rolling on a sort of tube.

The rear camera has been moved to the top right corner. This makes sense considering the extendable display. The extendable screen ensures that the camera system cannot be positioned on the left rear – as is probably the case with the Note 10, this will be the first Samsung smartphone with a punch-hole camera in the middle.

The patent does not make clear how many camera lenses are used. For the 3D renders, LetsGoDigital has opted for a similar set-up that Samsung is currently applying in its high-end models. This has been a pretty great look at what the future may hold for the company, and if this is what it looks like, it might be the most interesting Samsung launch in a long time.

Huawei trademarks ‘Harmony OS’, a new name for its upcoming Android alternative

It has already been confirmed that the Chinese telecom giant Huawei is working on an open-source Android-based mobile operating system. The OS, which is said to have been named HongMeng OS in China and Ark/Oak OS for the rest of the world, could go official in the coming months.

Now, the Chinese company has filed a trademark for yet another name for its upcoming operating system — Harmony OS. The filing with the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) notes that the trademark is related to “mobile operating systems; computer operating systems; downloadable operating system programs.”

Huawei Harmony OS Trademark

As per the report, the application was filed by a firm called Forresters. This is the same company that also filed Huawei’s Hongmeng OS and P Smart Z trademarks. As we all know, the former filing is another name for the brand’s new operating system.

Huawei confirmed the development of its own mobile OS after the company was put on the “entity list”  by the United States, banning all type of trade with the Chinese giant. While the US is moving ahead to allow some companies to resume business with Huawei, nothing can be sure with the Trump administration.

In an unlikely event where Huawei gets banned from using Google’s Android OS, the company is all set to replace it with the HongMong OS or whatever it ends up being named. Recently, it was reported that the HongMong OS is about 60 percent faster than Android and macOS and other Chinese brand likes Vivo and Oppo also participated in the testing.

In recent interviews, Huawei’s executives said that the operating system won’t be limited to just smartphone and will cover a wide range of products, including support for the current portfolio of products from Huawei, including routers, network switches, tablets, computers and data centers.

Google has also lobbied with the US government and asked them to allow Huawei to keep using Android OS. If Huawei is forced to give up using Android, the company will start using its own OS which will undermine Google’s absolute dominance with Android over the smartphone market, especially in China. It stands to lose around 700-800 million users if Huawei gives up using the Android operating system.

Huawei has Two Sources of Supply for Each Component: President Victor Zhang

Earlier this year, the US government put Huawei in a tough spot after adding it to the Entity List. Given that Huawei sources a lot of components for its smartphones as well as networking infrastructure from the US, this was a big blow to the Chinese telecommunications giant. However, according to the comments from Huawei’s President of Global Affairs, Victor Zhang, things were probably not as bad as we thought because of the company’s ‘Business Sustainable Management’ strategy.

Huawei’s Honor View 20

In an interview with Xinhuanet in London, Victor revealed that Huawei established a strategy nearly 10 years ago wherein the company has two sources of supply for each component. This along with stockpiling essential components likely should have helped the company sustain the US ban for the past few months. But it’s worth adding that there are some essential components which don’t have an alternative, at least not right now, like Google’s Mobile Services for Android.

He further revealed that in the context of globalization, components aren’t 100% self-produced. So, it becomes necessary to cooperate with upstream and downstream industry chain to ensure the stability of product supply. He added that Huawei invests more than 10% of its sales revenue every year. There are more than 80,000 people working in R&D in the company right now, which accounts for 45% of the company’s workforce.

While talking about UK’s scene, Victor said that Huawei has invested more than £100 million ($126 million) in the UK, with over 300 engineers working in fields such as AI and 5G. This number is further expected to increase to 400 in 2019. A new R&D center in Cambridge is also in the works. 

At present, Huawei has more than 2.500 patents in 5G with a total investment of more than $4 billion.

Xiaomi opens new camera-centric R&D centre in Finland

Chinese smartphone and consumer electronics major, Xiaomi may have started its journey off with China and India, but the company has been steadily trying to increase its grip-hold in the European market as well. Xiaomi has recently registered a research and development company in Tampere, Finland to focus on camera technology. The city is home to camera experts, thanks to Nokia having a research center for years in this area.

Xiaomi follows the steps of Huawei which in 2016, also opened a development and research center in this Finnish city. At the time, the Chinese manufacturer has been hiring several Nokia experts for its ranks and has also partnered with Leica, putting its top-of-the-range smartphones as the best smartphone cameras on the market as proven by ranking DxOMark, that places four Huawei smartphones in the top six.

This may also be part of a Nokia and Xiaomi collaboration from two years ago. Both companies has a collaboration agreement which was centered around licensing patents between the two companies. Nokia agreed to provide network infrastructure equipment to its Chinese partner and give access to its patent-rich portfolio. This new expansion by the Chinese company might be a result from that partnership to at least some extent.

Xiaomi will definitely be doing research on products inside this facility as well, but the company has decided to start the R&D arm with camera technology research. This means in the near future, it’s fully possible that we’ll be seeing Xiaomi devices with vastly better cameras on the company’s devices. Until then, stay around on Gizmochina.com for all you Chinese technology news.

Analyst claims Huawei shipments will break 260 Million units in 2019

According to Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s latest research report released today, it is expected that Huawei may regain Google’s GMS certification and authorization before the end of July. On top of this, they also claim that Huawei’s mobile phone shipments in 2019 is expected to reach 260 million units.

Ming-Chi Kuo claims that one reason for the increase in Huawei’s mobile phone shipments is that Huawei’s market share in China has gone up exponentially. Another reason is that Huawei’s mid- and low-end models have regained sales in overseas markets. In overseas markets, operators and vendors have resumed selling their devices, and the company has adopted a more aggressive sales strategy.

Although the market is still worried that Huawei won’t actually be able to get back Google’s GMS certification, Ming-Chi Kuo is confident that they’ll be able to regain it by the end of July. Adding on to that, he also believes that even if the company can’t regain GMS certification and authorization, they’ll still manage to hit 230 million shipments in 2019.

Ming-Chi Kuo also said that Huawei’s mobile phone supply chain has recently raised its forecast for shipments in the second half of the year and 2019. We’re not entirely sure it’s possible for Huawei to continue hitting these milestones, but we’re eager to find out. We’ll keep a close eye on Huawei, so stay tuned on Gizmochina.com for any updates on the Huawei situation.

Huawei M6 tablet powered by Kirin 980 SoC gets Ark Compiler update

Last month, along with the Nova 5 series smartphone, China-based Huawei also launched the MediaPad M6 tablet in its home market, which is the first tablet to come powered by the Kirin 980 processor.

Now, the company has started rolling out a new update for the Huawei MediaPad M6 tablet which adds Ark Compiler that improves the system responsiveness and smoothness. It is claimed to be the first multi-language optimization compiler.

Huawei MediaPad M6 Ark Compiler Update

Huawei Ark Compiler is the compilation and operation mechanism for the system as well as applications, which was introduced by Huawei to improve the compilation efficiency of Android system. The company had announced the technology for the first time in April 2019 at a domestic launch of the Huawei P30 series.

Along with the Ark compiler, the update for the M6 also optimizes the fingerprint unlock performance, voice assistant capabilities, improved user interface for the third-party applications in the cross-screen state, touch sensitivity and also enhances the stylus experience.

The tablet comes in two models — one with a 10.8-inch display and another with an 8.4-inch model but both of them features a 2K screen resolution. Powered by the octa-core Huawei Kirin 980 CPU, dual NPUs, and a Mali-G76 GPU with GPU Turbo 3.0 support, the devices come in 4GB + 64GB and 4GB + 128GB configurations.

U.S. firms may get approval to restart Huawei sales in two-four weeks

According to the reports coming in, citing senior U.S. official, the United States may approve licenses for the companies to resume their business with the Chinese giant Huawei in the coming week or two.

The development comes after the U.S. President Donald Trump announced during the press conference of the G20 summit that the US companies can continue doing business with Huawei as long as the equipment does not threaten the national security.

huawei logo

Huawei, which is the world’s largest telecommunications equipment maker, was added to the “Entity List” by the U.S. Commerce Department in May this year, effectively prohibiting US-based companies from supplying it with new American-made goods and services unless they obtain a special license, which was will likely be denied.

The reversal of the decision to ban Huawei by Trump and the rapid implementation of the same by the Commerce Department suggests that the United States is bowing down to the lobbying of the chipset industry and the pressure from the Chinese politics.

As per the report, out of $70 billion that Huawei spent on buying components in the year 2018, around $11 billion went to U.S. firms including Qualcomm, Intel, and Micron Technology. Even though there’s a ban on Huawei, U.S. companies can currently sell goods in order to maintain existing networks and provide software updates to existing Huawei handsets.

However, they are prohibited from making new sales of American-made goods and services. A Huawei spokesman said “the Entity list restrictions should be removed altogether, rather than have temporary licenses applied for US vendors. Huawei has been found guilty of no relevant wrongdoing and represents no cybersecurity risk to any country so the restrictions are unmerited.”

Officials of the United States have clarified that the new policy will allow sales of non-sensitive technology readily available abroad if national security is protected. But they have also reiterated that Huawei remains on the entity list, and relief would be temporary. It still remains unclear which products will be granted licenses.

Apart from this, the United States has pending cases against the Chinese giant for allegedly stealing American intellectual property and violating Iran sanctions. The U.S. has also launched a lobbying effort to persuade its allies to keep Huawei out of next-generation 5G telecommunications infrastructure.

Honor 9X Pro’s gradient colored rear with triple cameras officially teased

The Honor 9X series will be announced on July 23 as the successor for Honor 8X and Honor 8X Max phones from last year. The Honor 9X series is rumored to arrive as the first Honor phones with Kirin 810 chipset. This morning, Honor took to Weibo to share the first official image that showcases the rear design of the smartphone.

Rumors have it that the Honor 9X Pro has a triple camera setup on its rear. Hence, the image shared by the company belongs to the Honor 9X Pro handset. The smartphone features a blue-red gradient color rear that has an eye-catching ‘X’ pattern at the center. The rear side of the phone does not feature a fingerprint scanner. It is speculated that the Honor 9X series could be featuring a side-mounted fingerprint reader.

Honor 9X Pro Rear

The Honor 9X and 9X Pro phones will be arriving as worthy competitors for the Xiaomi Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro. The Redmi K20 series feature attractive gradient colored rear and notch-less design with pop-up selfie camera. Recent reports have also revealed that the Honor 9X and 9X Pro will be equipped with a notch-less display and a pop-up selfie camera.

Recent reports have revealed that the Honor 9X and 9X Pro may come with some identical specs. However, one major difference between the two handsets could be that the Honor 9X will have a dual camera setup on its back. A recent leak had claimed that the Honor 9X and 9X Pro are both equipped with 6.59-inch display that supports 19.5:9 aspect ratio and full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. Following is a leaked image of the Honor 9X’s front panel that was shared by a Chinese tipster yesterday.

Honor 9X front panel

Both phones may come with 20-megapixel front-facing camera. These phones could be packed with a 4,000mAh battery. The Pro model may support 22.5W fast charging whereas the 9X may only include 10W rapid charging. The EMUI 9.1 based Android 9 Pie OS runs on the device. Some of the other rumored features of the Honor 9X series smartphones include 3.5mm audio jack and storage slot. As of this writing, there is no information available on the pricing of the phone.

Honor files trademark applications for future X-series smartphones – 10X/20X/30X/40X/50X

Huawei’s sub-brand – Honor is gearing up for the launch of some new smartphones in the coming few days. To be precise, the Honor 9X series and the successor to Honor 8X is all set to become official on July 23. While that’s certain to happen, Honor has in between applied for certain trademarks for the Honor 9X successors or what we can call as the future Honor X-Series.

As per the source, Honor filed a trademark application with various intellectual property organizations around the globe for its future X-series smartphones. The trademark filing includes – Honor 10X, 20X, 30X, 40X and 50X. It’s interesting to note that the application for the Honor 10X was submitted along with the Honor 9X trademark in 2016, while the rest of the trademarks were submitted in 2018. So, it’s an indication of the future X Series to have the prefix a multiple of 10.

All these trademark applications are filed to safeguard the names and it not necessary that Honor will launch all these devices soon.

However, the Honor 9X is expected to equip the Kirin 810 SoC which is based on the 7nm process. The SoC has two high-performance cores based on Cortex-A76 clocked at 2.27GHz and six high-efficiency cores with Cortex-A55 at 1.88GHz. According to previous information, the Honor 9X will come with a pop-up selfie camera. On the back, there ought to be a dual camera aligned vertically in the upper left corner.

That being said, with the US-China trade war-related issues getting settled lately, it’s Huawei which is going to breath fresh air. The Chinese mammoth is back in its business with the aim to dethrone Samsung from its long-held crown as the leading global smartphone vendor. And, all these Honor X-series devices will help the firm to gain more market share globally.

Vivo S1 Indian version may be the first Helio P65 phone

In late March, Vivo announced the Vivo S1 in China as the first of a new series. The phone is now heading to launch in India. However, while it shares the same name as the Chinese model, leaked live photos show it has a different design. The complete specifications of the phone have also leaked and it reveals the phone will come with a brand new chipset from MediaTek called the Helio P65.

Vivo S1 Indian Version specs

The Vivo S1 Indian Edition will not have a notch-free display like its Chinese sibling of the same name. It also doesn’t have a pop-up selfie camera. Instead, there is a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera.

While it does have triple cameras too, the sensors are different and the design also differs. The length of the housing is shorter, the sensors are closer to each other and not separated by the LED flash which itself has a different shape. The Indian variant also has an in-display fingerprint scanner which Vivo calls “Screen Touch ID”.

Coming to the specs, the Indian model has a smaller 6.38-inch display but an AMOLED panel and not LCD. It swaps the Helio P70 for a new Helio P65. The processor is said to have 8 cores – 2x A75 at 2.0GHz + 6x A55 cores; which should make it more powerful than the Helio P70 which has 4 x A73 cores and 4 X A53 cores. It will be paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

There is a 32MP camera in front for selfies while the rear cameras are made up of a 16MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The Vivo S1 will also have a much bigger 4500mAh battery with Vivo’s Dual Engine fast charging technology. The phone will run Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Photos of the phone show a blue-purple gradient finish. In one of the images, we see there is a sky blue variant on a poster. The phone will come in a white box with a large “S” inscribed on it and is rumored to have a price tag of about INR 20,000 (~$290). The launch date is reported as early August.
