Honor 8C is Official: first Snapdragon 632 phone, starts at 1,099 yuan (~$158)

Huawei’s Honor brand has officially announced the Honor 8C budget smartphone alongside the Honor MediaPad T5 tablet in China. The device yet another notch-packing smartphone but has all the makings of a decent budget model. The device is one of the few of Huawei’s smartphones that are not powered by a Kirin chipset. The Honor brand has a longstanding reputation of an elitist design but of late, while the design style still maintains their high standards, the pricing has become affordable.Honor 8C

The Honor 8C is one of such affordable models and to keep the price low, Honor opted for a metal fuselage but the back panel is made from plastic. The Honor 8C is one giant phablet as it packs a 6.26-inch  TFT LCD (IPS) display with an HD+ resolution of 1520×720 pixels and screen pixel density of 269 PPI. The display has a tiny notch at the top which houses the selfie camera and earpiece. The display comes with an impressive 86.6% screen-to-body ratio. The device comes with a dimension of 158.72X75.94X7.98mm meaning it is just 7.98mm thick. It also weighs just 167.2g.Honor 8C

Specs wise, the Honor 8C is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chipset which makes the model the first commercial phone to pack Qualcomm’s new chipset. The chipset builds on the successes of the SD 625 and SD626 SoC. It boasts of up to 40% improvements over its predecessors. The graphic is powered by an Adreno 506 GPU. The device comes only in 4GB RAM variant while there are 32GB and 64GB storage options available. We could see Honor introduce a 6GB RAM variant later on. The storage can be expanded via a microSD card up to 256GB. The phone actually comes with dual SIM cards and a separate microSD slot so you won’t have to sacrifice the second SIM card for SD card. The phone runs Huawei’s custom EMUI 8.2 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.Honor 8C

The Honor 8C packs a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 13MP main sensor with a f/1.8 aperture and a 2MP depth of field sensor with f/2.4 aperture. The design of the vertically aligned rear shooters is quite spectacular with both sensors standing in isolation just like the Honor 8X design. The rear camera supports autofocus, continuous capture and AI beauty feature. The front camera is an 8MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture and soft light flash. The 8C also packs a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor for unlocking the device. There is a 4000mAh battery under its hood which supports 5V/2A charger but there’s no fast charging technology.Honor 8C

Honor MediaPad T5 launched in China: 10.1-inch FHD Display & GPU Turbo at $200!

Alongside the new Honor 8C, the company also unveiled a mid-range tablet in China, the Honor MediaPad T5. You could also call it the Honor Tab 5. Note that there’s a good chance that you have already heard this name, if you recall, Huawei had released the MediaPad T5 earlier this year. Well, don’t get yourself confused, these two are basically the same device. Except for minute differences (camera specs, fingerprint), the Huawei MediaPad T5 is basically the Honor MediaPad T5. Just note that in China it goes under the Honor brand, while internationally, its being sold under the Huawei brand name. Now that we’ve cleared this, let’s move on to the Honor MediaPad T5 (Honor Tab 5) in detail.

Honor Mediapad T5
Honor Tab 5

The tablet comes in an all metal CNC body and weighs just about 460 grams. The dimensions (243mm × 164mm × 7.8mm) are decent enough for a 10-inch tablet, making it easy to carry around where ever you go. To be honest, there’s nothing spectacular about the tablet’s design but for its affordable pricing, the metal body and under 500 gram weight makes it a pretty good tablet in the segment. Further, there are two color options available: Glacier Blue and Grey.

Honor Mediapad T5 10 Display
Honor Mediapad T5 10.1 Display

The Honor Mediapad T5 comes with a 10.1-inch 19200 x 1200 pixel resolution display, which brings the aspect ratio to a comfortable 16:1o. Apart from the large FHD display up front, the tablet features dual stereo speakers with Huawei Histen 5.0 sound technology with Harman Kardon professional tuning. It’s clear that the company wants to market this tablet as an entertainment device. The large display and stereo speakers definitely gives it an edge over large screen smartphones which threaten to eat up the tablet market.

Inside, the tablet comes with a Kirin 659 processor with 3+32GB and 4+64GB storage options. Since its a Kirin processor on board, you also get the company’s GPU Turbo technology which should offer solid gaming performance.

Another upgrade on the Honor Tab 5 aka Honor MediaPad T5 is the presence of a fingerprint sensor and even face unlock. The Huawei branded model that’s sold internationally doesn’t feature this sensor. Other notable features includes eye comfort mode with blue light filter, and children’s corner.

It has also claimed that the pricing of the Mate 20 duo is accurate since they were received from a Polish carrier named Plus. A recent report had revealed that 128 GB Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro may cost around CHF 799 (~$807) and CHF 999 (~$1,010) in Switzerland.

OPPO Hyper Boost is a software acceleration engine, coming to the OPPO R17 series first

At an event today, OPPO announced its Hyper Boost technology, a software acceleration engine for its phones. OPPO Hyper Boost provides a system-level performance optimization which greatly improves the performance of the device.

OPPO says Hyper Boost is based on self-developed technology and it provides performance optimization in three areas – system, games, and apps.

OPPO Hyper Boost

For system optimization, Hyper Boost brings a feature called Behaviour-Aware Scheduling (BAS) which dynamically adjusts the frequency of underlying hardware in units of 0.2 milliseconds through the newly designed Linux task scheduler. This should bring a significant improvement in system operations when compared to Android’s Linux underlying kernel which adjusts the frequency of underlying hardware in units of 20 milliseconds.

OPPO Hyper Boost also provides system-level optimization of multiple hardware platforms and provides technical feedback to the hardware platform vendors.

For game optimization, OPPO said they have partnered with Tencent, Netease, and three major game engines to optimize the top 100 mobile games. At the moment, Hyper Boost provides optimization for 11 popular games with more expected to be added later.

There is also app optimization for apps like WeChat, QQ, and Mobile Taobao. WeChat, for example, gets optimizations in 11 high-frequency usage scenarios.

Xiaomi group’s stocks tumble by more than 9%, closes at HK$12.5

Xiaomi group’s stocks tumble due to global equities sell-off in Asia. In a single day, Xiaomi stocks fell down by 9% to HK$12.5. The Chinese smartphone maker is not the only tech giant that has witnessed the drop, as even Tencent sank 7.4 percent. As of 11:53 Beijing time, Xiaomi’s decline reached to 9.16% taking the share price down to HK$12.5.

Most of the Asian stock markets are opening in red due to the US market crash yesterday in over 7 months. It has pushed the global equities to sell-off shares. In the US, stock markets experienced a drop of over 3-8% with Nasdaq dropping below 7.8% while the Dow Jones fell 3.1% in a single day. Due to the recent jump in the US interest rates, broad sell-off has been sparked.

Xiaomi logo

Similar is the situation in Hong Kong and Taiwan stock exchanges. In Taiwan, iPhone component supplier Foxconn shares dropped by 6.9%. In Japan, the major tech giants fell by 4.6 percent. In India, the picture is depicting a similar story for various big companies.

Just a few months ago, Xiaomi Group’s stocks were listed at the Hong Kong Stock exchange. It made a less than impressive start on the Hong Kong stock exchange as its share price dropped to HK$16.60 (US $2.12) against the listing price of HK$17 (US $2.17).

Overall, Xiaomi has not witnessed a good start in the Stock market. Now, the global sell-off is resulting in further decline in the listing price of the Xiaomi shares.

 

 

Additionally, Xiaomi is ready to launch the Snapdragon 855 powered Mi Mix 3 very soon. It has garnered over 6 million sales of Xiaomi Mi 8 in China while Redmi 5A gained sale of 10 million units in India. Many new devices are slated for launch before this year ends.
