Ming-Chi Kuo: All three 2020 iPhones will have 5G


Back in June renown Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed that Apple will equip two of its 2020 iPhones with 5G modems but now he has updated his predictions and says that all three come with support for the next-generation network.
Ming-Chi Kuo: All three 2020 iPhones will have 5G
Following Apple’s acquisition of Intel’s smartphone modem business, Kuo believes Apple is better suited to develop its 5G iPhones.
In addition Kuo predicts that by the second half of 2020 the price of 5G Android phones expected to start at around $250-350 will force Apple to provide 5G even on its entry-level device.
Moreover, by 2020 consumers will view 5G as a key buying point and Apple will be able to take advantage of the carrier subsidies. Another benefit of 5G devices for Apple is their potential to grow its budding AR ecosystem.

Going into more specifics Kuo claims the first 5G iPhone will come with sub-6GHz functionality instead of the faster mmWave technology. This will help Apple to cut costs in its initial rollout of 5G iPhones. Apple is reportedly planning on using Qualcomm’s modems in its first batch of 5G iPhones despite the Intel chip acquisition and is developing its own modems which could release sometime in 2021.

Stable EMUI 9.1 hits 10 Huawei and Honor smartphones

Image
Huawei has started testing EMUI 9.1  back in April and a tally of 10 phones is now ready to switch to the Stable version. The company announced on Weibo that seven Huawei smartphones and three Honor devices will get it. The new user interface is still based on Android Pie and brings software improvements, bug fixes and GPU Turbo 3.0. That feature boosts the performance of the graphics unit to provide better gaming on the expense of the battery life. It also comes with  EROFS (Extendable Read-Only File System)  that should increase read speed by 20% and save about 2 GB of system storage. Here’s the full list of devices. Bear in mind the announce comes from China, so the global units with Google Play services might have to wait a bit longer before they get the update too: Huawei Mate 10 Huawei Mate 10 Pro Huawei Mate 10 Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design Huawei P20 Huawei P20 Pro Huawei nova 3 Honor 10 Honor V10 Honor Play Source ...

Huawei Y9 Prime (2019) appears on Amazon, to arrive on August 1

Image
We’ve been hearing about the Huawei Y9 Prime (2019)  arriving in India  for the past few weeks, but we finally have confirmation. The device was listed on Amazon with its key specs and the launch date. The Y9 Prime (2019) is arriving on August 1 with an elevating selfie camera and three shooters on the back. The screen is 6.59” in diagonal, but it is likely an LCD since the fingerprint scanner is on the back. It has no notches, just a tiny bezel on the bottom because the selfie camera is in a pop-up mechanism. Huawei is officially shipping the Y9 Prime (2019) with Kirin 710 and 4 GB RAM, but at least it has 128 gigs of storage. The selfie shooter has a 16 Mp sensor and brings plenty of AI features, including “real-time image optimising in 8 scenes”. The main triple setup is yet to be revealed in detail, but one of the lenses will be an ultra-wide-angle shooter, while the third we assume is just a depth sensor for all the fancy background blur portraits. This midran...

Oppo Reno 5G & RX17 Neo giveaway.

Image
The Oppo Reno 10x zoom is mentioned no less than three times in our latest  smartphone buyer’s guide . First, it got the nod for its impressive camera (one of only two with 5x optical zoom), then for its class-leading battery life (107h Endurance) and fast charging and, finally, as one of the best flagships so far this year. We have one unit to give away and we should mention that it’s the 5G version – the  Oppo Reno 5G . It has the same specs, but if you happen to live in the UK it will give you the opportunity to test drive the budding next generation mobile networks. Those outside the UK will still be able to win a fully unlocked phone even if they won't get the benefit of 5G.     We're giving away an Oppo Reno 5G An  Oppo RX17 Neo  is also up for grabs, a competent mid-ranger that goes for €350 SIM-free.
