Mar 11, 2015

Yesterday evening, while reporting its earnings for Q4 2014, Zhou Hongyi, the CEO and founder Qihoo 360, revealed some interesting details about the company’s plans for mobile business.

Qihoo 360 is a well known internet security company known for its anti-virus software and web browser. The company has over 496 million users for its internet security software as of June 2014 and 641 million mobile users.

Zhou revealed that the company is working with Coolpad to launch a revolutionary smartphone brand in the market. Coolpad’s supply chain sources will be responsible for developing the hardware on the new phone, while Qihoo 360 will focus on developing the software of the device.

Last December, the company invested about $400 million in a Joint Venture with Coolpad for developing a brand new ecosystem for mobile devices. So, this news doesn’t come as a surprise.

Since Qihoo 360 is an internet security company, Zhou is aiming to develop the new OS into a much more secure platform than competitors like Android and iOS. The company has over 10 years of experience in internet security and it could use its expertise to streamline the new OS. He said that the new operating system will be called as the SEAL and will be safe from the core. However, he didn’t mention whether SEAL will be an entirely new OS or based on an existing platform like Android.

Apart from the security features, the new OS is also said to be fast. It will come with options such power saving mode to attract users. As mentioned above, Qihoo has a lot of loyal fans, which could turn into potential buyers of this new device.

However, software won’t be the only selling point of the device. Zhou claims that the new phone will feature the best tech specs in the market. Naturally, price won’t be cheap. The retail price could exceed well over 5000 Yuan ($798) but he says that the company does not plan to profit from the phone’s hardware.

Clearly, the new smartphone brand will be targeted at high end users who like the best hardware as well as a secure environment for their phones. He has not yet revealed the name of the device, but it is said that the phone will launch sometime after June 2015.

There’s still plenty of things unclear about the device, such as the exact configuration and security features, but expect more details in the next few months.

So, would you be willing to spend over $800, even for a phone that’s highly secure and comes with top end hardware?

ZTE showed off the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max at MWC this year. But the company has one more device in store for us in the Z series. A number of earlier leaks as well as a recent listing on JD.com confirmed the existence of ZTE Nubia Z9. We had already seen a bunch of pictures which revealed a very thin bezel display. Hhowever, today we have a set of new images which clearly show the amazing workmanship of this Chinese company.

The pictures leaked by a known leakster, Leaksfly reveals the bezel-less display of the ZTE Nubia Z9. Unlike other phones which claim to have super slim bezels, it looks like the Z9 has no bezels at all. To be honest, the display looks somewhat like the one on Sharp Aquos Crystal, which was also bezel-less. If this is indeed the final model, then surely it would be the selling point of the device.

Another picture reveals the back panel, which looks similar to the Z9 Max. So, the Z9 too could feature metal plus dual glass design.

As for the tech specs, you can expect only high end internals. So, the phone is said to feature the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor with 4GB RAM onboard. It is said that the camera will be very powerful on the device. If you look closely, the picture of the phone’s rear panel does show a larger than usual round camera unit.

ZTE will announce the ZTE Nubia Z9 and the Nubia Z9 Max at an official event on March 26. Just a day back, the company released a new teaser confirming the launch event. So, we can expect more information about both the devices at the event. In case you are wondering, both the models will most likely hit the markets by April this year.

Mediatek seeing Qualcomm has launched its own fast-charge technology, Qualcomm has this technology with a variety of mobile phones in the market. MTK fast charge is named PumpExpress, abbreviated as PE. Creative design has been announced.

They have designed the logo very smartly, with “M”, “T”, “P” and “E” in capital, the logo looks very attractive and much better then Qualcomm’s Quick Charge. Whether it is a high-pass or MTK fast charge, no Chinese name, are not easy to promote. Technically essential difference: MTK fast charge current is up to 9V, and Provides 7V output; Qualcomm fast charging technology had two generations of improvements, upgraded to 2.0, provides a 5V, 9V, 12V output, 12V is currently not yet open. If we look at Qualcomm and Mediatek Fast charge logo, there are some similarities. You can see both of them has a power or we say a electric shock symbol in them.

MTK unified Recognition icon failed to publish together with fast charge technology, allowing Qualcomm to seize the opportunity to promote; and Qualcomm has taken the first step, the promotion of technology, while also supporting the establishment of improved authentication mechanism. Now Moto, HTC, Xiaomi, Ktec and other brands have launched Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 certified charger, in addition to a number of OEM / ODM manufacturers have joined the alliance, fast charging product line covers a charger, car charger, mobile power and other fields. Compared with Qualcomm, MTK is a lot slower, hope MTK can catch up. This market competition will benefit consumers.

Reasons Why Xiaomi Open Mi Online stores in the US without Selling Xiaomi Smartphones

By

Mar 10, 2015

Xiaomi’s online-stores in the US go online in the middle of Feb. 2015. Today, Hugo Barra (VP of Xiaomi) expressed that Xiaomi’s online-stores will go online in Europe market on MWC 2015 Conference, that is to say, Xiaomi’s online-stores in Europe will only sell some accessories like Xiaomi Band, Xiaomi headphones etc. rather than its major product- Xiaomi Smartphone.

Xiaomi, steps down from the peak gradually

Xiaomi, founded in 2010, began to sell smartphone in 2011, and took the most market share in China smartphone market Q2 of 2014, then became the top one in China smartphone market and ranked the 3^rd globally in Q3 of 2014. All these halo makes Xiaomi be regarded as the most sparkling company in China.

However, in 2014, as Ren Zhengfei (CEO of Huawei) found that Xiaomi is unsurpassable regarding the Internet marketing, he asked to reform the strategy, that is, compress the low-end version smartphones and promote the high-end version smartphones, Huawei HONOR kept on to Xiaomi, HiSilicon focused on Research and Development, and in return it made a great progress – Kirin 920 SOC, which has surprising performance on processing, baseband technology, making a greater improvement on sales, profit and brand awareness etc. And at the same time, Huawei HONOR’s surging sales in Q4 of 2014 lay great pressure upon Xiaomi.

Even the price of Redmi and Redmi Note get a price cut of 100 RMB, Xiaomi sales shrinked in Q4 2014. This situation made them realize that Xiaomi could not keep the high speed as before, they began to set foot into international market, however with so many setbacks, like be fined in Taiwan due to the make-up for the sales, and banned in Indian market due to infringement of the Intellectual property of Ericsson etc.

The consequence is Xiaomi couldn’t reach its expected capital raising – 1.5 billion USD, even Xiaomi makes combination blows in Internet Business and cooperates with the US strategically, the final capital raising is only 1.1 billion USD. Later Xiaomi meets a wealthy real estate businessman in China Pan Shiyi (President of SOHO China) immediately, which made us recoginize that the reason may related to the shortage in capital raising.

The importance of setting online-stores in the US and Europe

Chinese has been longing to see its brand go onto the global stage, indeed, brands sold in the US and Europe do have the advantage to improve the fame rapidly internationally. Huawei has been insisting on launching smartphones to Europe market, and emphasizing the price in Europe priced more than that in China. It helps Huawei win the praise from Chinese countrymen, till the end of last year, Huawei gain 3% market share in Germany and Spain according to its own words, and netpals in China also feel proud of it, they think Huawei set higher price in international market than that in China, the strategy will help Huawei win the brand awareness. Till Q2 of 2014, international sales took 42.3% of Huawei’s whole sales results (data from ISUPPLI), the global sales surged more than 40%, which is the best result since 2011.

Obviously, Xiaomi wants to sell their smartphones to the US and Europe, winning the brand awareness, however, Xiaomi has less smartphone patents, on the other hand, markets in the US and Europe have been known for the strict policy for intellectual property. HTC has ever taken the most market share in the US market, but tumbled down after Apple sued its infringement of intellectual property.

Xiaomi chose to enter Indian market, where the patent policies are not so strict as that in the US and Europe, however, being sued by Ericsson due to the infringement of intellectual property. Under such circumstances, Xiaomi launches the sales of smartphone accessories to the US and Europe market is the wise choice. Xiaomi is so good at Internet marketing, and it can take advantage of its Internet marketing for its online-stores in the US and Europe, winning brand awareness, and laying foundations for its smartphone entering the US and Europe market.

Xiaomi enters the US market by opening online-stores to expand its influence is also regarded as the base for the be-listed project.

At this moment, choosing to open online-stores in the US and Europe is a good choice, which can help itself to gain more benefits. The interesting thing is that, Huawei, Xiaomi’s old rival, did not do well in the US smartphone market, and Huawei announced that it will launch the wearable devices to the US market this year. Does that mean the two will compete from China to the US?

Blackview has a number of good looking smartphones in its lineup. Today, the company has shown off yet another well designed phone, the Blackview Breeze. The device is particularly targeted at users who would like a compact phone. The 4.5-inch display on the Breeze is perfect for those would like a phone that can even be operated with one hand.

The Blackview Breeze is targeted at first time Android users. However, that doesn’t mean the phone isn’t well built. The device features a beautiful metallic gloss frame which gives it a very premium look despite its entry level specs. Further, the back features a dull polished violet black finish which improves the grip and the overall feel of the device.

Like mentioned above, the phone is aimed at entry level segment and comes with a 4.5-inch display. There are many users who like a compact phone and this display strikes a balance between compactness and entertainment value.

The Breeze isn’t the thinnest phone that we have seen lately, still its overall measurements 133 x 63.5 x 9.4mm makes it a handy device. The 9.4mm thick body also ensures a decent battery on this small device. It is said that the 2000 mAh battery should provide around 8 hours of talk time, which is above average for a phone in its class.

Apart from the compact nature, Blackview has also taken the camera performance into consideration. For an entry level device, the Breeze sports a good camera. There is an 8MP shooter with LED flash at the back and a 5MP one up front. This should ensure better camera performance than most other smartphones in the entry level market.

Finally, this budget device also comes with the company’s Blackview Xender file transfer technology app which can transfer data up to an amazing 3000kbps speed without any Wi-Fi, cellular or cable connections.

We still don’t know some of the specs of the device like processor, RAM, internal storage and display resolution. But from what we can see, the Blackview Breeze does look like a strong competitor in the entry level segment.

Wait for more specs and pricing details in the coming days.

ASUS to launch Zenfone 2 with 4GB RAM on March 24 in China

Mar 9, 2015

ASUS made the headlines back in January at CES 2015 by releasing a number of affordable yet powerful Zenfone 2 smartphones. The Zenfone 2 lineup has a number of different variants, all priced according to their specifications.

Just yesterday, ASUS unveiled the entire Zenfone 2 lineup in its domestic market, Taiwan. This helped clear some things about the different variants of the device, since all of them are called as the Zenfone 2.

Now, the company has released a new teaser on Weibo which confirms a Chinese launch of its latest flagship lineup on March 24. It is assumed that all the four models that were unveiled in Taiwan would make it to the Chinese market.

There are four different variants of the Zenfone 2 smartphone. At the top is the Zenfone 2 ZE551ML which features a 5.5-inch display, 4GB RAM, 13MP camera, 2.3GHz quad-core Intel processor and 32GB of internal storage. Below that is a slightly toned down version which features 2GB RAM and 1.8GHz quad-core Intel processor. In Taiwan, the top model retails for around $285 and the second model for $220.

There are two other phones in the lineup, namely ZE550ML and ZE500CL. The former model features a 720p 5.5-inch display with the same 1.8GHz processor and 2GB RAM as the earlier mentioned model. But the internal storage is reduced to 16GB. Finally, at the bottom is the ZE500CL which features a smaller 5-inch 720p display, 2GB RAM and 1.6GHz Intel processor. The ZE550ML will cost about $190 and the ZE500CL will the the cheapest of the lot costing about $160.

Expect the pricing of the models in China to be similar to the pricing in Taiwan.

The Zenfone 2 clearly looks like one of the best value for money lineup in the market right now. If ASUS manages to price the 4GB RAM model under 1800 Yuan like in Taiwan, we can expect a very good response for the device in China.

Baidu developing a smart car for 2015 launch, confirms CEO

Google may be the king of search engines globally but when it comes to the Chinese market, no one can come close to Baidu, the China’s leading search engine company. In fact, many a times, the company is called as “China’s Google”.

Baidu had confirmed last year that it was working on a smart car. But the company’s concept of a futuristic car didn’t replace the driver, instead aided him in his driving. This was the opposite of what Google is trying to develop. Google has been working on its driver-less car for almost five years now and the company has already showed off its prototype without any steering wheels or gas pedals to the media last year.

Today, CEO Robin Li confirmed that Baidu is developing a smart car which it will launch in 2015. This is in line with what we heard last year from the company’s Vice Director of Research, Kai Yu.

While the source does not reveal what to expect from the smart car developed by Baidu, it is said that the car will be fast and will have a steering wheel, gas and brake pedals like regular cars.

In fact, last year, Kai Yu had explained what the company had in mind for a smart car.

“Freedom means the car is intelligent enough to operate by itself, like a horse, and make decisions under different road situations,” Yu said. “Whenever the driver wants to resume control, you can do that. It’s like riding on a horse, rather than just sitting in a car where you only have a button.”

Baidu may also partner up with other manufacturers for launching the new car.

Stay tuned for more information.

Honor P8 with octa-core SoC and 2GB RAM is actually a clone!

Huawei did not announce its flagship smartphone at MWC this year. Instead, the company has decided to unveil the new Huawei P8 at a special event in China by mid-April. In fact, the company has confirmed the event in April.

However, even before the official announcement of the device, we have come across its clone. This does not come as a surprise, as we have seen many popular phones being cloned by small manufacturers in the domestic market. And its not just smartphones, even wearables like Apple Watch have clones.

We have seen a lot of pictures in the past few days of the upcoming Huawei P8 flagship and the ones added here looks quite similar to them. Unsurprisingly, the phone will be called as the Honor P8.

Specs wise, the Honor P8 looks quite good. It will be powered by an octa-core processor clocked at 2.0GHz. Interestingly, the new Huawei P8 could feature Kirin 930 which is also an octa-core SoC clocked at 2.0GHz. There will be 2GB RAM onboard with 16GB of expandable internal storage.

It will have a 5-inch display with 720p resolution. The rear camera will be of 13MP while the front shooter will be of 5MP. The phone will be quite thin measuring just 7.8mm which is why there will be just 2200mAh battery onboard.

As for connectivity options, the Honor P8 supports Wi-Fi, HotKnot, GPS and 4G TD LTE networks. It will run on Android 4.4 KitKat with a launcher which looks very similar to Huawei’s Emotion UI.

So what do you think about this clone? The specs and the design looks quite high end for a clone.

Huawei made Google Nexus phone could be powered by Kirin processor

Mar 9, 2015

In the past two weeks, multiple sources reported that Google may have entered into a partnership with Huawei for its next Nexus smartphone. While the news was almost confirmed by an iSuppli analyst, the source revealed nothing about the processor that the new Google powered smartphone would use.

Now, a new report has cropped up online which claims that the Huawei made Nexus device could indeed use the company’s own Kirin processor. We have already seen the new Kirin 930 on the new Huawei Mediapad X2 smartphone. And most of the smartphones in the company’s lineup use its own Kirin processors. However, using Huawei’s processors inside Google’s Nexus range would be a big step up for the company.
In case you are wondering, there are plenty of reasons why Google would agree to use a Hisilicon made Kirin SoC inside its next Nexus phone. First of all, Hisilicon has evolved a lot in the past few years, enough to compete with market leaders like Qualcomm and Mediatek.

Hisilicon was established back in 2004 and has generated over $1.4 billion in revenues in 2013. It is now the no.1 IC design company in China.

The new Hisilicon Kirin 930 is a very advanced processor. It is built on a smaller 16nm process, even better than the 20nm process used by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810. Moreover, its an 64-bit octa-core SoC clocked at 2.0 GHz and based on ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture which helps save power. The processor is also capable enough to support up to 32MP resolution camera sensors.

While Huawei’s Hisilicon doesn’t make it to the top three global chipmakers list, the company announced last year that it would be selling chips to other companies too, which should further increase its market share. And what better smartphone than the upcoming Nexus device.

Remember to take this news with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed as of now. But since a number of sources have started giving out details, its best to wait and watch if we actually see a Huawei made Nexus smartphone this year.

Stay tuned.

Landvo has a number of affordable smartphones in the market. The Landvo L200 is one of the better offerings from the company and now, the phone is available for sale from Chinabrands wholesale for just $76.

In case you haven’t heard the name, chinabrands wholesale is a dropshipping website who has direct contacts with manufacturers. As a result, they are able to offer the lowest price for many consumer products such as smartphones.

The Landvo L200 usually retails for $90 or more via regular retailers, so you get around $15 – $20 off the traditional price tag. The discount is because Chinabrands is a dropshipping website.

As for the specs, the phone comes with a quad-core MT6582 processor clocked at 1.3GHz and based on Cortex A7 architecture. We have seen most smartphones under $100 use this Mediatek chip and it performed quite well.

The device sports a 5-inch qHD display up front and has 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The storage is further expandable via MicroSD up to 64GB. As for the camera, there’s an 8MP shooter at the back and a 2MP one up front. The rear camera has a f/2.2 aperture and five special lenses which should ensure good quality pictures.

The Landvo L200 runs on Android 4.4 KitKat OS out of the box. The phone supports dual SIM dual standby and comes with network connectivity features such as 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc. The one drawback of the device is the lack of the high speed 4G LTE connectivity. But given the price tag, you can’t really complain that the phone lacks 4G. Finally, there’s a 2000mAh battery on board to power all these specs.

As you can see, the Landvo L200 comes out as a good budget smartphone. It is powerful enough for your basic needs, yet super cheap to fit in your budget.

OPPO isn’t new to wearables (there’s OPPO O-Band) but the company has not yet announced a smartwatch. Looks like that’s going to change soon as a new leak on Weibo (via leaksfly) says that the company is developing a smartwatch similar in looks with Moto 360.

The source reveals a new image online which he claims is the upcoming OPPO smartwatch. The device sports a round face, much like the Moto 360 except for the black bar at the bottom. This means that the watch will have a true circular display.

The watch is said to run on Google’s Android Wear platform. The biggest selling factor of the device according to the source will be the VOOC fast charging technology. It is said that the advanced fast charge tech will allow users to get up to a day of usage with just 5 minutes of charging. This will truly be a revolutionary feature as it will essentially mean if you have a power outlet nearby and 5 minutes, you will no longer have to worry about your watch running out of charge.

We still don’t know whether the watch will be able to last for more than a day if charged till up to 100% as the source reveals nothing about its total battery life.

It is also said that the watch will be lighter and thinner than traditional smartwatches in the market.

Anyways, as of now, these are the only things that we know about the upcoming OPPO smartwatch. Lets wait and see, if we get some more concrete information about the device.

ZTE had showed off its latest phablet, the ZTE Nubia Z9 Max at this year’s MWC in Barcelona, Spain. It looks like the company has one more product in the Z series which will be announced before the end of this month, the ZTE Nubia Z9. The Chinese giant released a teaser via its official Weibo page earlier today confirming its launch on March 26.

This is not the first time we are hearing about the ZTE Nubia Z9 flagship. The device was earlier leaked in pictures and just two days back, the phone along with the Z9 Max was listed on a famous Chinese e-commerce website, JD.com along with its pricing.

The launch event will be held at Beijing Performing Arts Center on March 26, confirms the teaser. We expect both the devices to be officially announced at this special event.

It has been long rumored that the Z9 flagship will feature bezel less display. We also saw some pictures which claimed to be the Z9 with super slim bezels. So, the upcoming ZTE Nubia Z9 could indeed sport very slim bezels.

Back in December we came across multiple reports which said that Xaiomi will announce an even cheaper Redmi device to compete in the ultra low cost segment. The device was said to be just 399 Yuan to attract first time smartphone users.

Now, a new report has come up online claiming that Xiaomi will announce this super cheap device by the end of this month. This is the first time we are hearing about the launch date of this upcoming Redmi device.

399 Yuan translates to just about $64 which is a very great price for a phone. Of course, end of the day, everything will depend upon the performance and specs of this super cheap device. But looking at the offerings from Xiaomi till date, we are pretty sure that it won’t be disappointing.

Xiaomi is yet to officially confirm the existence of a 399 Yuan Redmi device, but that doesn’t entirely rule out such a possibility. Still, its always better to take the news with a grain of salt. Sources also said that the company will also target high end markets this year, which doesn’t come as a surprise as we already saw the powerful Xiaomi Mi Note and Note Pro smartphones announced back in January.

If Xiaomi is going to launch the new Redmi device this month, then expect a lot more information in the coming days. Stay tuned.

With the Release of Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung breaks the long partnership with Qualcomm processor, This is going to make a loss of 48 million orders. Some say because of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 compared to Exynos 7420, this is a reasonable decision as Exynos 7420 is much more powerful than the Snapdragon 810. However, Foreign media broke the news that, Samsung is working with MTK (MediaTek) and negotiations are going on. It will be replacing Qualcomm, If Mediatek comes to Samsung, then it means that Samsung will likely become less high-end product company. This deal will defiantly be a good step by them as it will increase price to performance ration but then you will not get features like Fast Charging and Kernel Sources. If Samsung takes this step, then we can see high end phones at a much lesser price. Samsung has made a brand value and if they start selling phones at a much lesser price, they will defiantly have a good come-back.

On March 1st, Samsung announced its flagship smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge with much fan fare at MWC 2015. The company had later announced that both the devices will be available globally. Now, it looks like, we have just spotted the pricing of the two handsets, which should be released in China soon.

The device was just listed on JingDong (JD.com). The Samsung Galaxy S6 was priced at 5288 Yuan while the S6 Edge was much more costlier being priced at 5888 Yuan. Both the models have 32GB internal storage and support dual 4G networks.

Both the models are powered by the super fast yet power efficient Exynos 7420 processor. The processor is built on a 14nm process which makes it more advanced than any other mobile SoC currently available in the market. Even Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 810 processor is built using a 20nm process. Other features are also top of the line. Both the models feature a 5.1-inch display with QHD resolution, however the Galaxy S6 edge has a special dual edge curved display which makes it a very unique offering. This is main reason why the phone is priced so much higher than the regular Galaxy S6.

The retail price is slightly on the higher side as compared to other international markets, so it will be interesting to see how these two Samsung flagships compete with popular phones in China like the Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
