There were rumors Lenovo would announce a Ferrari edition of the Lenovo Z5s yesterday but it didn’t. It did surprise us with a GT version of the Z5 Pro which has 12GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 855 processor. Although it was missing a Ferrari logo, the Z5 Pro GT did have a sporty appearance. An image shared by Lenovo’s own CEO has revealed there is actually a Ferrari edition of the phone.
The CEO took to Weibo to share a photo of a Lenovo Z5 Pro GT with a Ferrari logo on the back. The back is covered in glass and the phone’s dual cameras have a red accent. Unlike the regular Z5 Pro GT, this version doesn’t have the carbon fiber design covering the whole of the rear. The carbon-fiber design only runs through the middle of the phone. At the bottom is Ferrari’s logo and Lenovo’s logo.
Based on the caption of the Weibo post, this version of the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT will also arrive next year.
Huawei’s EMUI 9 based on Android Pie has been available as a beta for a while. Now a stable update has begun rolling out to some devices.
If you own the Huawei Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P20, or P20 Pro and reside in Europe, you should check your phone as the update is already being pushed to these devices. The update is also rolling out to the Honor View 10, Honor 10, and Honor Play. There is even a report that the Honor View 10 is receiving the update in India.
EMUI 9.0 not only brings Android 9 Pie but also brings some new features. There is a new gesture navigation and also HiVision which is just like Google Lens but with some neat tricks of its own such as calorie identification in foods. The overall UI has also changed, system response speed is said to have increased by 25.8%, and there is now support for multiple back ups to various storage devices.
U.S chipmaker Qualcomm says it believes that Apple remains in infringement of a Chinese court’s orders to stop sales of iPhones in spite of a software update that Apple released on Monday. Qualcomm on December 10 reported that it had won a preceding court order in China banning Apple from sales of some older iPhone models that the court has found violating two Qualcomm software patents. Apple reported the same day, that all of its phones remained on sale in China.
On December 14, Apple gave a report that it would push a software update to its iPhones this week. The California-based company, Cupertino said it believed it was in agreement with the court’s rule, but that it would update its software “to address any possible concern about our compliance with the order.” The update seemed to have been pushed to iPhones on Monday, based on user reports on Twitter, although Apple would not affirm to Reuters that it had been pushed.
“Despite Apple’s efforts to downplay the significance of the order and its claims of various ways it will address the infringement, Apple apparently continues to flout the legal system by violating the injunctions,” Don Rosenberg, Qualcomm’s General counsel, informed Reuters in a statement on Monday. Apple never openly commented last week on reasons it believed its current iPhones for sale in China complied with the court’s proclamation, which relates to patents on software features for swapping between apps on a smartphone and resizing photos before using them as a wallpaper on the phone.
Several media outlets, including CNBC, stated that Apple believed the court’s orders only apply to iPhones running older versions of its iOS operating system. But the court’s orders, a copy of which Qualcomm provided to Reuters, had no reference to operating systems but only centered on software features.
“Apple’s statements following the issuance of the preliminary injunction have been deliberate attempts to obfuscate and misdirect,” Qualcomm’s Rosenberg reported in a statement on Monday. However, Qualcomm believes Apple is still in violation of the court’s orders because Apple continues sales of phones and has not received any definite order from the Chinese court giving it the opportunity to do so.
“They are legally obligated to immediately cease sales, offers for sale and importation of the devices identified in the orders and to prove compliance in court,” Rosenberg reported in a statement to Reuters in December. When asked by Reuters about Qualcomm’s statements, Apple restated its earlier statements that it believes it is in accordance with the court order.

This year, HTC released only bone flagship phone and that is the HTC U12+. The same phone launched as the HTC Exodus 1, the manufacturer’s first blockchain phone. Next year will be different according to HTC Taiwan’s President.
In an interview with Taiwan’s Economic Daily, HTC Darren Chen said the company will be focusing on high-end smartphones in the first half of 2019. These phones will challenge Apple’s iPhones which have the largest market share in Taiwan.
Mr. Bozhen also said that they plan to release more U12+ models next year in order to extend its lifecycle. he says the flagship which was released back in June is one of the best dual-camera phones and its less powerful sibling, the U12 Life which got a 128GB version last month is also selling fast.
After a year of affordable devices, Lenovo surprised everyone by launching Z5 Pro GT, the most powerful phone in the whole Android world.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Dual SIM slot, waterproof (IP68)
Design
Lenovo Z5 Pro GT seems to be the smartphone with the narrowest bezels ever released. Thanks to its slider design with a pop-up slider housing the front cameras, its display reaches a screen-to-body ratio superior to 95 percent, according to the company. Further, it has a unique design composed of a rear side with a carbon fiber texture and a red frame. On the other hand, if you need a more elegant design, you might prefer the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 which has a slider design as well but a soberer ceramic back, with an aluminum 7000-series frame. The only advantage of Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the IP68 certification making it waterproof, but it is uglier with its big notch.
Display
Huawei Mate 20 Pro has the best display for both definition and color reproduction. First of all, it features a higher resolution, so more detail. Secondly, it is HDR10 compliant and it even provides DCI-P3 coverage. The second place goes to Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 as it is HDR compliant as well, but it has a lower resolution and a lower quality. Lenovo Z5 Pro GT and Huawei Mate 20 Pro have both an in-display fingerprint reader and 3D facial recognition, while Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 does not.
Hardware/Software
Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is the world’s first smartphone to come with the new Snapdragon 855 chipset by Qualcomm which provides a solid increase in performances compared with last year’s Snapdragon 845. Further, it is the first phone to come with 12 GB of RAM. According to the first benchmarks by AnTuTu, it is the most powerful phone ever, and it should provide better performance than any mobile phone released until now. Huawei Mate 20 Pro comes right after with its new Kirin 980, and it is also the only one of the trio to feature expandable storage.
Camera
If you grab a unit of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, you will get the best triple camera setup ever found on a smartphone in commerce. It has three sensors with a 48 MP resolution, an ultrawide secondary lens and a telephoto lens. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is a more interesting camera phone only when it comes to front cameras, while cameras are not the strongest points of the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT, even though it remains a pretty nice camera phone as well.
Battery
With a capacity of 4200 mAh, Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the king of flagships if we talk about battery life. It is able to last a full day on a single charge even with a stressed use. Further, it supports wireless charging and reverse wireless charging to fuel other devices. You should not go for the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 if you need a long battery life as they only feature average units.
Price
Besides the hardware side, the most important quality of Lenovo Z5 Pro GT is the price: it will start from just $390/€343 in China ($638/€561 in the 12 GB RAM version), while Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 10 GB carries a price tag of $719/€632 in the 10 GB RAM version, and I consider it an inferior device. While Lenovo Z5 Pro GT has the highest value for money, Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the best device even though its SoC is not at the same level as the Snapdragon 855, but it costs almost $1000 or €850 (street prices).
Yesterday was one of the high points of the year for Huawei as the company announced its first in-screen camera smartphone – the Huawei Nova 4 with a 25 MP selfie camera. The launching was supported with some neat slides, showing that over 65 million people bought devices from the Nova series since it was first unveiled.
The Nova 4 was first unveiled in October 2016 meaning the series is just two years ago. The Nova series is a mid-range lineup for Huawei which is highly traded in China and other Asia-Pacific markets. It has always relied on being elegant, beginning from the 2016 Huawei Nova with a design inspired by the Nexus 6P. Later, Huawei Nova 2 and Nova 2 Plus came in stylish colors like the flagship Huawei P10 – Grass Green, Streamer Gold, Aurora Blue, and so on.
The Nova 2s tested the Mate 10’s technique with a fingerprint scanner and a big screen of about only 4.5mm in diameter on the front while running the flagship Kirin 960 chipset. However, Huawei Nova 3 kept the custom, but the Nova 3+ arrived in Europe as Huawei P Smart and with the lower-powered Kirin 710 chipset.
The latest model is the Nova which is the Chinese giant’s first official device featuring a punch hole for the selfie camera. We’ll have to wait and see the performance of this phone in addition to the 65 million tally. The Nova is well-studded in the design and hardware aspects so, we don’t expect a disappointing performance.
Motorola is all set to release its new Moto G7 series model anytime shortly, if we can trust numerous certification listings, including US FCC. There will be at least three phones, with another rumor and leaks suggesting even four – Moto G7, Moto G7 Power, Moto G7 Plus, and Moto G7 Play. The last one will be inexpensive and the least powerful which was just certified with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC).
The Moto G7 Play with a model number Moto XT1952-1 will have the latest Android 9 Pie update, and this is all the certification listing gives us. We already saw the images of the device in real photos at the FCC – which have USB-C, microSD slot audio jack, a hybrid dual SIM slot, a fingerprint reader on the back along with the Moto dimple, the battery is revealed to be an unimpressive 2,820mAh and a single rare camera on both sides.
If you worry more about internals, one of the photos from the FCC listing shows a Snapdragon 632 SoC on board which would be a welcome bump over the Snapdragon 430 in the current Moto G6 Play, coupled with Adreno 506 GPU. However, according to some renders, the G7 series will feature the waterdrop notch design on the front, but from the FCC photos, the G7 Play is likely staying with a quality rectangular screen without any cutouts for cameras and sensors whatsoever.
Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) is the first smartphone with rear-mounted quad cameras. The Huawei P30 Pro flagship phone arriving in Q1 2019 could be the second phone to feature quad cameras. While other companies are expected to catch on with the trend of launching smartphones with four rear-facing cameras, HMD Global is reportedly prepping up Nokia 9 PureView flagship phone with five rear cameras. Well, the penta-lens camera design of the rumored Nokia 9 PureView is not a secret since multiple leaks have revealed it. GizmoChina brings to you some new shots of Nokia 9 PureView case to reveal its design.
The Nokia 9 PureView case images matches with the CAD renders of its case that had surfaced in the previous month. It also resembles with the Nokia 9 case that is currently listed on Amazon UK. The newly leaked TPU case of the upcoming Nokia flagship phone has seven cutouts. Rumors suggest that five of them will belong to various kinds of sensors such as RGB, depth sensor, wide-angle lens, telephoto lens and monochrome sensor. The other cutouts could belong to dual-tone LED flash and a sensor for proximity detection.
Rumors have it that just as the Nokia 8 Sirocco phone lacked a 3.5mm audio jack, the Nokia 9 PureView will be also lacking it. The small round-shaped cutouts at the top and bottom edges of the TPU case of the smartphone could be for the two microphones. The bottom edge of the smartphone may also feature a USB-C port and an external speaker. The left side of the phone appears to be barren whereas the right side of the phone seems to feature volume rocker and power button. The SIM tray could be placed on the left side of the smartphone. There is no cutout for the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner which indicates that the Nokia 9 PureView could be the first Nokia phone with in-screen fingerprint scanner.
Previous leaks have revealed that the Nokia 9 PureView will be featuring 5.99-inch OLED screen with QHD+ resolution. The Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8 GB of RAM and 4,150mAh battery could be powering the smartphone. It will come preinstalled with Android 9 Pie OS. the handset is also expected to support wireless charging.
Rumors surrounding the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone claim that its arrival has been delayed, but it is still expected to go official as early as January 2019. Probably, the smartphone may go official after the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019 in January and before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) tech expo in February.

While China-based Huawei is going through a rough patch in the western world, the company has been given the approval to start 5G trial in India, thanks to the atmosphere of political goodwill between the two neighboring countries.
However, it wasn’t easy for the company to enter the Indian 5G market. When the government initially sent out invites to global 5G majors, Chinese firms, including Huawei and ZTE were not invited. It took a protest by Huawei for the government to relent. While Huawei has been invited, ZTE still has not received an invitation.
The telecom secretary has asked Huawei to participate in the trials and has even complimented the company for developing the telecom sector in India. Others companies invited for 5G trials include Nokia, Ericsson, Cisco, NEC, and Samsung.
In a statement regarding this development, Huawei said:
As a leading global supplier of telecoms equipment, we remain committed to developing trusted and secure solutions for our customers. We continue to receive full support from the Government and industry partners alike. Having a proven track record of doing business in the country, we continue to work closely with the Government of India and other industry stakeholders.
While India has not articulated its security concerns yet, but sources say that there’s an unwritten rule against Chinese investments in sectors which could soon be labeled as ‘critical infrastructure’. The government has set up a high-level 5G forum, which includes secretaries from telecom, science & technology, electronics & IT besides few experts.
The development comes at a time when the United States has asked its treaty allies and other close partners to refrain from using Huawei in their systems. The ‘Five Eyes’ – US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand – joined in to restrict Huawei’s presence in their 5G systems. While Germany and other European powers have issued their own restrictions on Chinese technology investments, Japan, which is a close ally to the US, is likely to follow suit.
Meanwhile, Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer and daughter of the company’s founder, is awaiting extradition to the US by Canada on US fraud charges related to sanctions-breaking business dealings with Iran.
