Chinese tech giant Huawei has revealed that its revenue for 2018 has surpassed $100 billion, a first for the company. This is coming on the heels of disclosure that the company’s estimated phone shipments for the year have crossed 200 million units as projected. These achievements have been attained in the face of heightened global scrutiny of its activities especially by the US government and some of its ally.

According to Reuters, Guo Ping, the company rotating chairman during his New year’s address to the company’s employees said that the company’s revenue will hit $109 billion this year, which is a 21% increase from the previous year and it will be the maximum growth rate the company has recorded in two years. This year 2018 will also make it the first time the company will record $100 billion increase in revenue.

Right from 2012, Huawei technology has been purported to be a threat to US National Security, with claims that the company’s smartphones and other gadgets could send confidential information to the Chinese government. With the 5G technology rolling out next year, there are fears that many might make use of the company’s network infrastructure due to the progress the company has made in that aspect. More so, the company has secured more than 25 commercial 5G contracts to build the 5G network internationally. Huawei also is the largest producers of such equipment globally and is also the second highest ranked smartphone producers after Samsung. There were reports last week that US President Donald Trump will sign an executive order next year that will stop US companies from accessing Huawei’s Telecom equipment. With a fast-growing global tech market, US efforts may likely not stifle Huawei’s growth which is largely driven by innovation.

Google starts rolling out new Spam protection feature for Android phone users

Dec 30, 2018

After half a year development, spam protection in Android messages finally started rolling out earlier this month to some users. The feature is yet to be made available to everyone which means the change may be server-side and limited for the meantime. However, we may see a full rollout sometime soon.

When the update gets to any Android phone, a new notifications will pop-up on the device showing the new spam protection. This new “spam protection” feature will also appear in the “Advanced” section of the settings menu (Settings -> Advanced), allowing users to manually activate or deactivate it.

A formerly discovered section of Google’s support help site that went live prematurely, gave an explanation about how the new spam protection feature will function from a privacy perspective. Stating that when this setting feature is enabled, some information about messages that are received on the device will automatically be sent to Google. Howbeit, the content of the message will not be read; such as the phone number or the message body.

How this spam protection feature works is undefined, but possibly it observes the data statistically to examine similarities between spam messages so as to detect them. If you forward a spam report manually to Google it still submits the phone numbers of both the sender and the recipient including the message body. If you are so concerned about privacy implications that might emanate, and having Google to access your Information, you might literally not be needing this feature, presumably using a different app might save you the stress.

Apple’s iPhone XS Max records first report of explosion in the US

Dec 30, 2018

Several things can go south for the users of brand new phones including Apple‘s latest flagships; from a change of mind and wanting to return the expensive device, to series of different minor malfunction, various software woes and different accidental damages. But it’s so unusual for a three weeks old phone to spontaneously explode and almost causing body damage to the owner. That is the experience of an Ohio-based iPhone Xs Max owner who’s pone exploded.

Josh Hillard, based in Ohio reported how he escape the incident, safe and sound but traumatized. He stated that the Apple iPhone XS Max was kept in his back pocket when it began to release “a large amount of heat” including green and yellow smoke. He said he had to quickly leave the break room where his co-female workers were, to find a private place to take his shoes and clothes off. At this time, the explosion has transformed into a full-blown fire which fortunately was extinguished. Hillard said he was so unhappy “from the time of first noticing the fire and between removal of the pants and taking the phone out of my pocket and placing it outside.”

Hillard was however offered a new phone as a remedy to the exploded one, which he doesn’t regard as a better way of resolving the situation. Considering the situation of things, Hillard is said to be “contemplating legal action” for all the trauma he has encountered as a result of the explosion. Apple has begun an intense investigation to determine the cause of the incident. This is the first time iPhone XS Max is reported to have exploded and we hope it’ll be the last. Something similar recently occurred to the iPhone X, though, but the cause may likely be unrelated.

Essential Phone discontinued but Essential confirms it is working on another “mobile product”

Dec 29, 2018

The Essential phone from the Android co-founder Andy Rubin was launched last year with a lot of expectations. Those expectations were largely not met as the phone struggled for space in the market, but the company was able to deliver new Android OS updates on time. However, in the face of a stuttering sales, the company has now announced that it has sold out all units in stock and is discontinuing production of the Essential Phone 1.

The announcement is, however, laced with some cheering news as the company equally confirmed something that has been in the rumour mills for a while. That is, that it has got a second phone in the works. The statement actually labelled it “mobile product”. This second device might possibly be the leaked tiny phone that employs AI (artificial intelligence) to answer text messages and e-mails.

Here is the statement released by an Essential representative – “We are sold out of Essential Phone” on essential.com and won’t be adding any new inventory. We are now hard at work on our next mobile product and will continue to sell accessories and provide speedy software updates and customer support to our existing community.” So it looks like another Essential phone will soon be on sales despite the company putting itself up for sale. The company has promised to deliver fast software updates for the Essential phones and this may be one reason the company still has some loyal fans awaiting the release of the supposed “mobile product”.

ColorOS 6 is the latest version of OPPO’s Android-based operating system. Announced last month, ColorOS 6 brings a redesigned user interface and new features. Today, OPPO has released its very first beta version and it is available for the OPPO R15 Dream Mirror Edition.

The announcement was made by the official ColorOS Weibo account. According to the post, ColorOS brings a new UI designed for bezel-less phones (read full-screen displays).

Owners of the OPPO R15 Dream Mirror Edition can now install the public beta by going to Settings > Software update. The update is being pushed out in batches so you may have to check multiple times.

The OPPO R15 Dream Mirror Edition is still yet to get the update to ColorOS 5.2, the latest stable version, so it is a big surprise that a more recent update albeit beta is already available.

The OPPO R15 Dream Mirror Edition was launched back in April of this year. It has a 6.28-inch FHD+ display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on top. It has a Snapdragon 660 processor, 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage.

Triple rear cameras and Snapdragon 855 listed as features of the Mi 9 and Mi MIX 4

Dec 29, 2018

Next year, Xiaomi is expected to release at least two new flagships. The two main ones are the Mi 9 and the Mi MIX 4 and details about some of their features have surfaced online.

The info comes from a research note from GF Securities of Hong Kong. According to the firm, Xiaomi will launch its first phone with triple rear cameras next year and it will be the Mi 9.

Seeing as the Mi 8 comes in multiple variants, we do not know if the Mi 9 will follow the same tradition and if it does which of them will have three cameras on its back. If there are indeed multiple variants of the phone, we believe the Pro version should at least have three cameras.

The Mi 9 won’t be the only phone with triple rear cameras as the research note says the Mi MIX 4 will also have three rear cameras, one of which will have an optical zoom lens that doesn’t increase the thickness of the device.

Other than having three rear cameras, both phones will also be powered by a Snapdragon 855 processor. Not like we expected any less. There are rumors the Mi MIX 4 may even have a foldable display but there is no confirmation yet.

Dec 29, 2018

Today, Samsung announced a new feature for it 2019 TVs which will give users an advantage to control various devices like tablets, PCs and even their smartphones right from their TVs. The company states that the Remote Access will let people connect to different accessories such the mouse or keyboard to their TV, giving users the access to play games off their TV or broadcast web-based office service on a more larger screen.

It is, however, not clearly understood how this process or connection will work, since enough information is not available. But it seems users will have to install various apps on their devices to get them to connect to each other. Samsung revealed also that the Remote Access feature will function “anywhere in the world” because of their partnership and collaboration with the VMware and its virtual desktop infrastructure.

VMware, Inc. is a subsidiary of Dell Technologies that provides cloud computing and platform virtualization software and services. This technology enables people to be able to access a certain desktop that is saved on a centralized server. The scope is to allow people to access their desktop anywhere they are, and it will automatically reset once users are logged out. Also, this Samsung’s solutions could prove useful for people willing to play games on their TV without using an HDMI cable. Similarly, it’s handy for anyone who wants to do seminar presentations for groups. The Remote Access seems to cover the gap for Samsung’s long-term vision of blurring lines between different gadgets.

A case study is the Dex and the Dex Pad, which turns Samsung Galaxy phones into what essentially amounts to a desktop computer. Probably after Samsung launches its next set of TVs, we might hear more about the Remote Access technology.

US reportedly considering a clear trade ban on Chinese telecom equipment targeting Huawei and ZTE

By

Dec 28, 2018

According to Reuters, the White House is considering a formal order that would stop American wireless carriers from procuring from the Chinese companies. This order would have significant effect on both (Huawei and ZTE) Chinese companies which are the two largest producers of Telecom equipment, this order would also affect the on-going release of the 5G network infrastructure.

The executive order would allow the commerce department to stop the purchase of the Chinese Telecom equipment on national security basis, which is an action that does not require the Congress approval before its enforcement because the order will be majorly on purchase made by the American carriers.

Both companies have encountered critical challenges in the US market. Huawei and ZTE were prohibited from the US government use as part of a defense bill earlier this year. ZTE encountered severe sanctions from the government over the summer, though the sanctions were later removed.

In a general statement on 5G concerns published on Thursday by Reuters, Huawei had placed the issue in a simpler term stating that “Barring Huawei from participating in various 5G markets is like an NBA game without all-stars”. The rotating chairman of Huawei (Guo Ping) highlighted on the company’s official Wechat page.
