Huawei Spain releases list of phones getting Android Q

For owners of a Huawei phone now, the main concern is if their phones will continue to get updates amidst the US-ban placed on the Chinese company preventing it from doing business with American companies including Google.

Huawei Android Q

Huawei already released an official statement last week assuring users they will continue to release updates for their devices and security patches too. In light of this, the official Huawei Spain Twitter account has now released a list of devices that will get updated to Android Q. Below is the list of devices:

  • P30 Pro
  • P30
  • P30 lite
  • Mate 20 X (5G)
  • Mate 20 Pro
  • Mate 20
  • P Smart Z
  • P Smart + 2019
  • P Smart 2019
  • P20 Pro
  • P20
  • Mate 10 Pro
  • PORSCHE DESIGN Mate 10
  • PORSCHE DESIGN Mate 20 RS
  • Mate 20 X
  • Mate 10
  • Mate 20 lite

That is 17 devices in total including the Mate 10 series from 2017. The update will most definitely take months before arriving on all the aforementioned devices.

Although Huawei doesn’t say, the Android Q update should come with a new version of EMUI too, probably EMUI 10, so it syncs with Android 10/Android Q.

In a separate tweet, Huawei says all devices that have been sold or are currently on sale will continue to work normally in a bid to assure its customers.

BOE to begin mass production of LCD panels with optical fingerprint recognition this year

Since the introduction of the on-screen fingerprint recognition technology, it has courted lots of interest from fans who are always on the lookout for that piece of tech on any new flagship phone. The technology can only be used on OLED panels and this has limited the proliferation of the technology a great deal. However, that may soon change as leading Chinese display manufacturer BOE Display Technology has announced that it has successfully developed an optical fingerprint technology-supporting LCD panel and that it plans to start mass producing the panels by the end of this year.LCD

Basically, the current on-screen fingerprint recognition technology in use are either optical or ultrasonic technology and both can only be used on OLED panels. This is because the thickness of OLED panels are not so much as compared to LCD panels. Thus, it is easier for penetration to take place between the finger on the screen and the sensor that has to be under the screen. AMOLED panels are more expensive than LCD, making it difficult to have the fingerprint technology on low-end and mid-range phones. Therefore, this new technology is an important one.

Just last month, Taiwanese display maker AU Optronics had earlier announced a 6-inch full-screen optical embedded fingerprint scanning LTPS display. AUO’s display is the world’s first fingerprint scanning technology that supports optical sensors embedded in LCD screens. The panels come with FHD+ resolution (2304×1080) as well as a sub-pixel resolution of 403PPI.BOE

We may likely start seeing phones with this optical fingerprint supporting display from next year or towards the end of this year. It will be interesting to see how responsive the fingerprint sensors would be.

A Xiaomi Mi 9 Mod overclocks its Display to 84Hz!

Xiaomi is blessed with an enthusiastic community ever ready to tweak their smartphones to improve its performance. One such mod was recently developed by the official MIUI community member which allows users to overclock the display on the Xiaomi Mi 9 from the standard 60Hz to a much faster 84Hz refresh rate.

Xiaomi Mi 9

Refresh rates are getting a lot of attention in the past couple of years. We’ve seen the 120Hz Razer Phone 2 as well as the OnePlus 7 Pro with a 90Hz display. As for the rest of the lot, most of them come with a 60Hz display, which is the standard among smartphones. However, with the new mod for the Xiaomi Mi 9, users are able to overclock its display to a staggering 84Hz.

In order to overclock your display on the Mi 9, you’ll need to unlock its bootloader and flash an image file to the phone’s dtbo partition. Note that the Mi 9 was built to run on a 60Hz display, so be aware that there are risks associated with flashing such a mod. But initial feedback from users seems to be pretty positive, with no major issues being reported. There are some cases of a slight green tint on the display, but it’s not very significant.

In case you are wondering why these mod features aren’t officially released, Xiaomi’s director of software, Zhang Guoquan, said that the company had to consider a lot of factors like reliability, power consumption, and user experience before releasing such features to everyone. But he added that he was grateful to the community members who work hard to improve Xiaomi phones with such mods.

In case you are interested, you can check out the official MIUI forum thread here for more information. Or just head over to this thread on XDA for a quick guide to flash the mod on your Mi 9.

Redmi’s GM reveals a Redmi 5G Phone is in the works

5G is gradually gaining ground in several regions since it started rolling out. We expect the new technology to gain even more grounds by next year. Thus, we also expect a good number of OEMs to release a 5G phone next year. In China, the rollout of 5G phones has been relatively slow, perhaps due to the slow pace of 5G launch by China’s telecom carriers. A number of 5G phones have been announced like the Mate 20X, OPPO Reno, ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G. Redmi may join this exclusive list soon. Lu Weibing, vice-president of Xiaomi Group and Redmi GM disclosed about the Redmi 5G phone in a recent Weibo post when he was asked if the brand has got one in the works. Sadly, he offered no further detail.Redmi 5G phone

Xiaomi’s Redmi brand is an entirely independent brand with its own product offerings ranging from budget, mid-range to flagship models. The company is also launching other Redmi-branded smart home products. Mr Weibing had earlier extolled 5G which he says will change the society. 5G network speed is blazing fast and is expected to have covered major cities in China by the end of next year. He also predicted that the prices of 5G  phones should drop by the second half of next year to below 2000 yuan.

VivoX moniker trademarked; Could it debut as commercial edition of Vivo APEX 2019?

Earlier this year, Vivo had showcased the Vivo APEX 2019 concept phone with button-less and port-less design in China. Fresh information shared by Lets Go Digital reveals that the Chinese firm has trademarked VivoX moniker with European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Could it be the name of the commercial version of the APEX 2019 phone?

The trademark filing of VivoX moniker was done by Rolim, Mietzel, Wohlnick & Calheiros from Düsseldorf, Germany. In the past, the same firm was responsible for trademarking the Vivo NEX name. The Vivo NEX smartphone was made official two months after the name was trademarked with EUIPO by the said firm.

The trademark filing reveals that apart from the name, the company has also registered a logo. The logo suggests that the VivoX name could be the name of the next high-end phone from the company. The EUIPO classifies the moniker as Class 9 that includes smartphones, covers for ‘smartphones, battery chargers, wireless earbuds.’

vivoX-EUIPO

Vivo is known for using innovative technologies on its smartphones. In 2018, Vivo had launched the Vivo X20 Plus UD to become the first company to launch a smartphone with in-display fingerpint scanner. It had impressed the smartphone industry last year by launching one of the first notch-less and bezel-less Vivo NEX phone. By the end of 2018, it may release the Vivo NEX Dual Display with flagship specs and dual displays. At the ongoing Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 tech event, it has demoed the 120W Super FlashCharge technology. It will be unleashing its first 5G phone in Q3 this year. Hence, the VivoX device may arrive with some innovative features.

At the beginning of 2018, the Chinese firm had revealed the concept model of Vivo APEX bezel-less phone, and it had announced its commercial edition as the Snapdragon 845 powered Vivo NEX phone with pop-up selfie camera by mid-2018. Hence, Vivo is expected to release a commercial version of the APEX 2019 concept phone this year. It remains to be seen whether it will be called VivoX.

Recent reports have claimed that Vivo is working on a foldable phone. The company may use the VivoX for its first foldable phone or a completely different device. Hence, it is advisable to wait for further reports to know more on it.
