Xiaomi product director hints Flash Sale supply shortage ensures that the offline market thrives

Xiaomi has mastered the art of flash sales for selling its newly launched smartphones. The strategy helps the company build hype around the product as well as sell devices even when it has lower stocks. Earlier, it was understandable but seeing the company’s growth, it’s not acceptable that the company still relies on the flash sale model.

When the company was young, it was understandable that it could have issues with production and supply chain and the company had no choice but to go with the flash sale route because of supply vs demand problem. But now the company has means to solve that issue, then why is it still relying on the flash sale model? The company’s recently launched flagship device — Xiaomi Mi 9 is available through the flash sale and it’s very difficult for the users to purchase the device.

Xiaomi Logo

Well, we now know the answer. Xiaomi’s product director Wang Teng accidentally revealed in a group that the flash sale model is a strategic decision. If there is a lot of stock of a particular product, there’s no “premium” for that device in the offline market to sell and people will rely only on the online sales. Thus, the company would have to bear a huge loss.

While there are other reasons for the flash sale model, including production capacity and supply chain. However, the company also seems to be employing tacting like flash sale to create demand for the smartphone, which can then be available for purchase through offline channels with a premium on top of its price.

If the company decides to stock up as every other company does, the offline premium market will not exist. The phones are also available on premium through third-party online resellers. While users can’t get their hands on the newly launched Xiaomi smartphone easily, the phone can be found on major Chinese reselling websites at a premium cost.

People are now frustrated with the flash sale model as it robs the genuine buyers the chance of owning the device. However, with the competition increasing against Xiaomi and with many other similar options to choose from, users will shift to another brand if Xiaomi’s products are not easily available. So, what do you think about the flash sale model?

Xiaomi Poco F2 Geekbench listing with Snapdragon 855 and Android Q spotted (UPDATE: FAKE)

UPDATE: Well, turns out this was a fake listing. Even the Poco F1 Lite Geekbench (reported a couple of days back) result turned out to be a fake. Basically, XDA planted these two Geekbench results to show how easy it was to fake Geekbench listings. In short, the gist of the matter is that we no longer can trust Geekbench listings. I’m not going to retract this article, instead, I think it would be a good way to highlight this particular point. You can read XDA’s article from here.

 

 

Xiaomi Poco F2 is one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2019. The Xiaomi Poco F1 is currently available as the most affordable Snapdragon 845 driven phone. Hence, the Xiaomi Poco F2 is also expected to release the cheapest Snapdragon 855 powered phone. Xiaomi could be now internally testing the upcoming Poco F2 since a Geekbench listing of the device has surfaced online.

Xiaomi Poco F2 Geekbench listing

A smartphone labelled as “Poco F2” has appeared on Geekbench benchmarking platform. As expected, the Snapdragon 855 is present under the hood of the device. The SoC is supported by 4 GB of RAM and it is loaded with the upcoming Android Q OS.

In the single-core test, the Xiaomi Poco F2 has scored 1776 points. In the multi-core test, the device has recorded a score of 6097 points. Recent benchmarking listings of SD855 driven phones have scored more than 3k points in the single-core tests and around 10k in the multi-core tests. Hence, the Poco F2 Geekbench scores are quite low compared to other SD855 fueled phones.

What’s a bit weird about the listing is that the Xiaomi Poco F1 is available in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM options. However, the newly spotted Poco F2 has 4 GB of RAM onboard.

The Xiaomi Poco F1 was unveiled in August last year and it had arrived with Android 8.1 Oreo OS. Without much delay, the handset was treated with Android 9 Pie OS update as well as MIUI 10 custom ROM. Probably, the Poco F2 may come loaded with Android 9 Pie OS and it will be provided with Android Q update soon after its market release.

Recently, a phone codenamed as Xiaomi Uranus was spotted on Geekbench with specs like Snapdragon 660, 4 GB of RAM and Android 9 Pie. It is speculated that this handset my debut as Poco F1 Lite. However, there is no official confirmation on the existence of Poco F1 Lite and the newly spotted Poco F2.

ZTE Axon S renders leaks: Horizontal slider, Triple rear cameras, Xenon flash and more

Don’t fancy the ZTE Axon 10 Pro? Then you may want to look forward to the Axon S, an upcoming flagship from the Chinese manufacturer which takes a familiar design and turns it on its sides. It also has some pretty amazing specs too. Renders of the phone have been leaked and we like what we see.

ZTE Axon S

 

Last year, manufacturers like Honor, Xiaomi, and Lenovo released phones with a slider design. If you slide any of these phones vertically downward, you are greeted with the front-facing camera(s) and sensors that will usually reside on the top bezel but are now behind the screen.

For the ZTE Axon S which also has a sliding mechanism, instead of sliding it down, you slide it to the right to see the front-facing cameras. There is also what appears to be touch-sensitive/capacitive controls probably for zooming in and out at the bottom. There is a chance the buttons are customizable, so you should be able to use them for volume controls or to adjust brightness.

[envira-gallery id=”241505″]

When you slide the phone open, it also reveals the triple rear cameras on the back of the device arranged vertically. Below the sensors is a Xenon flash and at the far bottom, it is written that the ZTE Axon S has 5x optical zoom, a 48MP main sensor and a secondary 19MP sensor.

The design of the Axon S is really cool as you can’t see any of the cameras when the phone is closed. The back is just a slate of black glass devoid of any markings while the front is a gorgeous AMOLED display with a thin bezel at the bottom. Under the display is the fingerprint scanner. The renders also reveal the Axon S will have support for 5G and a USB type-C port at the bottom.

OPPO Reno has a screen-to-body ratio of 93.1%

The OPPO Reno is the upcoming flagship from the Chinese manufacturer, OPPO. Scheduled for an April 10 release, details about the phone have been gradually released by OPPO’s own VP ahead of the launch.

Oppo Reno

The latest info from the company executive is about the phone’s screen-to-body ratio. According to Mr. Brian Shen, the Reno will have a screen-to-body ratio of 91.3%. This is still smaller than that of the Find X which has a screen-to-body ratio of 93.8%.

OPPO Reno Screen-to-body ratio

In the original post he was quoted, he also revealed the OPPO Reno doesn’t have a hole on both sides of the phone. Unfortunately, he still didn’t reveal the phone’s screen size.

It has been reported that the phone will come in three variants – a lite version with a Snapdragon 675 processor, a high-end version with a Snapdragon 855 processor, and a Lamborghini edition with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage and a 5000mAh battery.

Samsung Galaxy A2 Core official render leaks

Samsung may never release an Android One phone but it seems to like the Android Go platform. The manufacturer already has two Android Go phones – the Galaxy J2 Core and the Galaxy J4 Core. They may soon be joined by a third member called the Galaxy A2 Core.

Yesterday, an official render of the upcoming phone was shared on the web yesterday. Unfortunately, there are no accompanying specs but we get to see what the phone looks like ahead of its release.

The Galaxy A2 Core has huge bezels surrounding its display just like the Galaxy J2 Core. Save for the position of the sensors and front-facing camera, they could pass for the same phone. However, things are different on the back.

Samsung has put just a single camera on the rear of the Galaxy A2 Core which isn’t a surprise. It is positioned in the top left corner and it shares the same housing with the LED flash. A few millimeters below the camera setup are two slits for the speaker. This design will mean sounds will be muffled when the phone is placed with the screen facing up.

The render shows the Galaxy A2 Core has an audio jack at the bottom to the right of the charging port. The phone will come in blue and black.

16 students arrested for playing PUBG Mobile in India despite the ban

It may sound impossible for a lot of people in 2019, but recently the state of Gujarat in India banned PUBG Mobile, so people in this state can actually face legal problems for playing a mobile game on their phone. The reason behind the ban is the game‘s impact on players behavior, conduct, and language. Even though there are other battle royale games even more used than this one, such as Fortnite and Apex Legends the ban only affects PUBG Mobile.

Despite the ban, 10 university students decided to keep playing the game and, according to the Indian Express, all of them were arrested for doing this. They were caught playing the famous battle royale a week after the ban in Gujarat. Fortunately, all of them were released on bail. According to a police official in the state, the game was so addictive that the accused students did not even notice his team coming to them, and that is how they caught them doing the illegal thing.

 

 

That is not the only arrest happened during the last days. After those ten students, six more students between the ages of 18 and 22 were arrested on Thursday for playing PUBG Mobile. They were released on bail just like the other ones. Do you think those people deserved the ban for playing a mobile game? Let us know your opinions by using the comment box below.

Snapdragon 865 will support new Qualcomm’s HDR10+ standard

Qualcomm’s Sr. Director of Product Management, Judd Heape, released a new interview to Android Authority in which she explained the most important upcoming implementations on Snapdragon chipsets. According to Judd, the upcoming Snapdragon 865 which will be the next flagship-grade SoC by the San Diego-based giant, will support Qualcomm’s own HDR10+ standard. In case you do not know, HDR10 was initially produced by Samsung and Amazon in 2017 and after that, Samsung developed HDR10+ for even better image reproduction.

 

Now, Qualcomm is working on its own take on HDR10+ which will debut with its next flagship chipset. Judd Heape referred to the new processor by calling it the Snapdragon 865, but she did not confirm that Snapdragon 865 will be the final name of the chipset. It is the natural successor of the Snapdragon 855, but its name may still be subject to changes. Note that the Snapdragon 855 found on the latest flagships unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona already supports HDR10+, but we are talking about Samsung’s one and not about the technology which is being personally developed by Qualcomm.

So, the new standard from the San Diego giant will most likely compete with Samsung’s technology. Besides Snapdragon 865 and its support to HDR10+, Judd Heape also talked about camera resolutions support of its existing Snapdragon chipsets in the same interview. As you probably know if you are a mobile tech-addicted, Qualcomm recently updated the specs sheet of several existing Snapdragon chipsets by adding the support to cameras up to 192 Megapixels.

 

 

Judd explained that this entry in the specs sheet was not added before because the highest resolution mode does not support 30 fps and 60 fps, as well as multi-frame noise reduction and zero shutter lag technology (also known as ZSL). But since several manufacturers started equipping their devices with sensors boasting very high resolution, Qualcomm decided to let users, manufacturers, and developers know about the support to cameras with higher resolutions.

Samsung starts mass producing 12 GB LPDDR4X RAM modules for smartphones

We started seeing 12 GB RAM modules on mobile phones in 2018 and Samsung seems intentioned not to waste time with their production. The Korean giant started mass producing 12GB LPDDR4X DRAM modules thought for flagship smartphones with the most advanced hardware and technologies. The new modules are meant to be used on devices which support the most revolutionary technologies in the mobile sector, such as camera modules with several sensors, 5G connectivity, artificial intelligence and more. The modules are built with a 10 nm-class (1y-nm) production process and they will come with a data transfer rate up to 34.1 GB per second.

 

Another advantage of the new 12 GB LPDDR4X RAM modules which just entered mass production is the lower power consumption: they will be a lot more power efficient. Samsung also reduced the thickness of its modules: the new ones are just 1.1 mm thin and this allows to save space in order to provide bigger batteries and a better design for flagship phones. Thanks to the new modules, users will benefit from better performances in multi-tasking and a  faster search response. Before these modules, Samsung also started mass producing eUFS 3.0 storage with capacities up to 512 GB, that is another great innovation in the mobile sector and it represents a further improvement to performances.

 

 

The 12 GB LPDDR4X RAM modules were projected with a combination of six 16-gigabit LPDDR4X chips into a single unit. Besides starting the mass production of the new modules, Samsung will increase the supply of these modules alongside 8 GB LPDDR4X DRAM modules by 300 percent in the second half of 2019 because it already predicts a strong demand for these chips. Do you think 12 GB RAM modules are useful on a mobile phone or the actual devices with up to 8 GB of RAM offer enough memory and storage for your needs?

Two Reno smartphones by Oppo certified by 3C

Oppo is set to unveil the first smartphone from its new Reno line-up on April 10. Meanwhile, the Chinese company is completing the last steps necessary to let the handsets from the new series hit the market. One of these is the certification from China’s 3C which decrees products as suitable for the final consumers. Today, two Oppo phones from the new Reno series received the official certification from CCC with the model numbers PCAM000 and PCAT00. The two Reno devices by Oppo are expected to sport the Snapdragon 710 chipset by Qualcomm.

It is one of the best midrange SoCs from the San Diego giant and it is an octa-core chipset running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz, paired with an Adreno 516 GPU. The two variants come with a 48 MP main sensor for the main camera setup on the rear side. 3C revealed that the two handsets certified come with a 20W fast charging technology (5V 4A) which is not Super VOOC as this technology comes with a higher power. According to reports, the Oppo Reno line-up will be composed of at least six variants. Among these models, there will be a Lamborghini Edition as well as a 5G Edition with the support to 5G connectivity. Unlike the models certified by 3C, these two variants will come with flagship-class specifications.

 

 

They are expected to boast the Snapdragon 855 chipset (which will be paired with the Snapdragon X50 5G modem on the 5G Edition), up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. The rear camera should come with the new 10x lossless zoom technology, and among the specifications, there should also be a 5000 mAh battery with the support to Super VOOC 4.0 fast charging technology with a max power of 50W. Last but not least, these devices may sport a Dynamic AMOLED display with HDR10+.
