Nova 5i Pro With Kirin 810 Thrashes Redmi K20 In Geekbench

Earlier this month, Xiaomi launched the Redmi K20 in India whose key highlighting features include the Snapdragon 730 SoC, Indisplay fingerprint scanner and a motorised popup camera. As it seemed, Xiaomi has outperformed all its competitors, the world’s second largest manufacturer, Huawei might have a wild card up its sleeve which holds the potential to steal the K20’s thunder.

Along with Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro, which were launched last month, Huawei was also expected to announce the Nova 5i Pro which was nowhere to be found. Earlier this week, the promotional material of the smartphone was leaked and now, its performance estimates have also been revealed in the form of Geekbench benchmark. Surprisinlgy, the Nova 5i Pro with the Kirin 810 has managed to surpass Redmi K20 with a substanial margin.

Following are the single core and multi core Geekbench results of the two smartphones (1,2):

	Redmi K20	Huawei Nova 5i Pro
Single Core	2514	2782
Multi Core	6671	7694

Apparently, the Huawei Nova 5i Pro has much higher multi core score and slightly higher single core score than the Redmi K20. Although benchmarks are not the only factor that determine the performance of a device, but sheer horse power definitely has an upper hand.

Moving ahead, the Nova 5i Pro has been listed on the mandatory certification website TENAA, that has unconvered all its specs allowing for a detailed spec comparison between the two mid range devices.

Huawei Nova 5i Pro vs Redmi K20, Specs Comparison

Specification	Redmi K20	Huawei Nova 5i Pro
DISPLAY	6.39 inch, Super AMOLED, Popup Camera	6.26 inch, Punch Hole Camera
PROCESSOR	Snapdragon 730, 8 nm	Kirin 810, 7 nm
MEMORY	6 GB + 64 GB 6 GB + 128 GB	8 GB + 128 GB 8 GB + 256 GB
SOFTWARE	Android 9 Pie	Android 9 Pie
CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5, 4G VoLTE	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5, 4G VoLTE
CAMERA	48 MP 8 MP 12 MP	48 MP 8 MP 2 MP 2 MP
BATTERY	4000 mAh 18 W Charging	4000 mAh 20 W
Security	In Display	Rear Mounted

Although the official price of the Nova 5i Pro is yet to be revealed, the company is expected to sell the handset at an aggressive price point as observed with the Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro whose prices are as follows:

	Nova 5	Nova 5 Pro
8 GB + 128 GB	CNY 2,799 (approx. Rs.28,300)	(8 GB + 128 GB): CNY 2,999 (approx. Rs. 30,400)
8 GB + 256 GB		(8 GB + 256 GB) CNY 3,399 (approx. Rs. 34,400) – 256GB

We believe, if the company is able to price the Nova 5i Pro close to the K20 i.e in the range of Rs 20,000 to Rs 25,000, Huawei offering can pose a serious threat to the latter. The launch of the Nova 5i Pro is expected to happen before the end of August.

Huawei Mate 30 Pro Will Feature Cinema Lens On A Quad Camera Setup

Huawei is still reeling from the after shocks after being relieved from the ban that was designated by the US Department of Commerce. However, business is still in full swing with rumours and leaks regarding the upcoming Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro increasing in numbers. A fresh leak sheds some light on the camera of the highest DxOMark scoring smartphone ever.

Huawei was spotted applying for two trademark applications to the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office). The trademark carried the names Cine-Lens and Camera Matrix. It indicates that the Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro feature a cinema lens for high quality video recordings. The application for Huawei Cine-Lens carries a description for “cinema photography; optical lenses for recording, reproduction and processsing of sound, images and/or data; smartphones; camcorders; cameras.”

It is being speculated that both the trademarks are for Huawei’s Mate 30 and 30 Pro. Both smartphones are premium grade flagships and are expected to arrive in October. The application for Cine Lens is big deal considering Huawei has already introduced matrix camera in the Mate 20 series of 2018. Cine Lens seems to refer to camera lens which are specifically developed for high quality videography. Interestingly, actual cinema lens are rather expensive and a mobile version optimized for video recording will be quite innovative.

Leica is one of the manufacturers for such cine lenses and has frequently collaborated with Huawei. Hence, it is probable that the Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro could feature the new lens technology; generally the Pro variants carry a better camera, so the feature may skip the standard variant. Unfortunately, finer details regarding the upcoming flagships from Huawei is still unavailable. An official company announcement is expected to be available in the arriving weeks; updates will be provided soon after.

Besides HongMeng OS, Huawei Is Also Developing Harmony OS

In the Q2 of 2019, Huawei had to face a major setback after it was entitled to an entity list by the US Commerce Department. This step revoked all American companies from having any sort of trade relations with the Chinese organisation. The major impact of this move was faced by Huawei’s smartphone business which was left stranded after Google was forced to withdraw support of Android OS. Nevertheless, it led to the revelation that Chinese company had been developing its very own operating since 2012 which is called HongMeng OS. Now, a new report states that besides, HongMeng OS, the company is developing another OS which is called Harmony OS.

According to past reports, the HongMeng OS, although nearly ready, is not slated to ship on its handsets post US ban being lifted. The company had planned to introduce the new OS to its other products (like consumer grade home appliances) rather than smartphones. The news arrives after Android is confirmed to be utilized by the company as its primary OS. Notably, HongMeng OS is stated to be faster than both Android OS and MacOS, even if it is not planned for PC, laptops and handsets.

Huawei had filed a trademark application in the EU Intellectual Property Office for its new operating system. In comparison to HongMeng OS, Harmony OS is being built specifically for its diverse range of smartphones. It is probably under development to address future concerns of a similar ban being levied on the company again. Furthermore, Huawei is hosting its developers conference on August 9th through 11th at the company’s Songshan Lake campus. The main focus of the event will be 5G but more news regarding the potential Android replacement OS can be expected to be unveiled then.

The company is taking cautious steps post the ban. It is evident that future ban scares is one of the major driving force behind the development of Harmony OS. Huawei is decreasing its dependency on the west and US based companies through the new OS. No finer details are available as of now but more updates are expected in the arriving weeks.

Huawei Confirms HongMeng OS, But Will Stick To Android For The Near Future

On the 12th of July, Chinese tech titan, Huawei hosted a press conference in which it talked about the its operations over the last 6 months. The company, despite being put on the Entity List by the US Department of Commerce, has reportedly increased its revenue for the first half of 2019. The Entity List designation barred all American company’s from having any sort of trade relations with the Chinese corporation. Therefore, it could not sell the number of smartphones running Android OS which were originally anticipated. Following the ban, it was revealed that Huawei had been working on a secret OS for year’s. It was speculated that if the US ban is not lifted, the company would sell smartphones in the future with its in house developed HongMeng OS aka ArkOS. Fortunately, the ban has been raised and it seems that Huawei will continue selling Android smartphones rather than switching to HongMeng OS, at least in the near future.

A top official of Huawei was seen claiming an increase in the revenue for first half of the year; It can be noted that the ban took effect in May and that the company had a successful run in the first four months of 2019. Only the figures for the second half of the year will show the true implications of the ban on Huawei. Especially now after the ban has been lifted but its affects are still lingering; the America stance on the situation allows US companies to sell their services and technology to the Huawei as long as it does not threaten national security.

In the press conference, Huawei also confirmed the name of its upcoming operating system dubbed HongMeng OS. However, the company, unlike part reports, isn’t planning on making it into an Android replacement for its current or near future handsets. For now the company has chosen to stick with the OS being developed for its other varying product lineups. It is speculated that HongMeng OS can still be used if another US ban is levied on the company as a worse case scenario.

The second half of 2019 will tell how well Huawei has managed to pull through since the ban. The company has yet to take a step back with its myriad of smartphone releases over just the past month. Huawei had reportedly shipped over 100 million smartphones in the year, before the ban. The true repercussions might be seen soon. Stay tuned for more updates on the tech giant and the trade tensions.

Huawei’s HongMengOS May Launch On August 9 In China

Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei has had a rollercoaster of a year. While the company was on the brink of becoming the biggest smartphone maker of the world; the US government issued a trade ban on it. This restricted any American company to do business with Huawei. The decision led to the future of its smartphone business laying in jeopardy. However, a while ago, the ban against the company was lifted which meant it could resume business with American organisations. However, it was revealed in the meanwhile that Huawei had been working on its own Operating System(OS) for a while, called HongMengOS. Now, the latest reports reveal that the software may be launched by the company at the Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) in China on the 9th of August.

HongMengOS

The HongMengOS by Huawei is an alternative to the Android operating system it has been using for its smartphones until now. It has been in development since at least 2012 when the company feared their reliance on US-made technology. While most features and details about HongMengOS are still under wraps, it was revealed that the software will be reportedly 60 percent faster than Android or iOS. Huawei has also been in talks with many developers, out of which around 5,000 are expected to attend its developer conference. Along with them, 1,500 key partners of the company will also be marking their presence at the event, which insinuates that HongMengOS may finally see the light of the day there.

Every operating system in order to be successful needs an ecosystem with a plethora of applications. It seems like Huawei, at its developer conference is all set to launch the HongMengOS with just that. It is also speculated that the company will opt for a different name for the OS in the global market and the current name will only be marketed as such in China. Unfortunately, more details about it are shrouded in mystery but are expected to be revealed as we move closer to the launch date.

HongMeng OS Is Upto 60 Percent Faster Than Android OS And MacOS

It was revealed a while back that Huawei’s proprietary HongMeng OS has been planned in secrecy years ago. The top officials of the Chinese company had decided on the development of a native OS after fearing US based software dominance. Skip a few years forward and that is all but true. Android and Apple are the most popular OS out there that belong from the US with which China has always had unstable trade relations.

Now, a report claims that the recently announced HongMeng OS is reportedly 60% faster than its main competitor Android.

HongMeng OS turned out to be Huawei’s trump card against US monopoly. It was finally unveiled from secrecy and had sought to ensure Huawei’s long term market security regardless of international trade relations. In a new report from, Chairman of Huawei had claimed that its HongMeng OS outperforms Android by a massive 60% lead. The aforementioned OS will complete development; regardless of Huawei being able to continue business with US companies. This arrives after the US ban that prohibited the company to have unrestricted operations in the western nation.

In terms of speed, Huawei has claimed that the OS is much faster than Google’s as well as Apple’s MacOS. HongMeng OS will also be introduced to the company’s laptop computer offerings too and are reportedly faster than MacOS. Huawei’s OS is designed to be versatile with a broad range of compatibility across different electronic devices which will interact with one another. A move that is similar to Apple’s iCloud based electronic economy and family connectivity. The company’s top officials have acknowledged its two giant competitors which have a sizeable application ecosystem; true with Apple’s App Store and Google’s Play Store apps which contain millions of apps.

The implications of the new report are massive. An OS that is both flexible and more powerful than what is currently offered in the market; it can possibly even disrupt the westward focused technology power structure. The claims can currently not be disproved since the HongMeng OS hasn’t been released yet. However, even exaggerated it may still hold some truth regarding performance and speed.

Huawei Working On A Smartphone With Camera Under Display

A few weeks ago, Chinese smartphone OEMs Xiaomi and Oppo showcased their first devices with a camera under the display. The latter then went ahead and revealed the technology at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai last month. Now, another manufacturer Huawei has filed a patent which reveals it is also working on a handset with the front-facing camera placed under the display.

About the patent

Huawei has filed the patent for a smartphone with the camera under the display in the German Patent and Trademark Office. While the implementation of such technology has been showcased before; from the likes of Xiaomi and Oppo, the images in the patent reveal Huawei is trying to take a different approach. While the former two had a centred front-facing camera under the display, the latter places it on the top left. Furthermore, the display over the camera will keep providing necessary functionality within the User Interface (UI); and display information like notification and camera modes. The rest of the software of the smartphone seems like the EMUI skin Huawei uses in its devices.

The images from the patent filed by Huawei also insinuate that it may place other necessary sensors; like the light and proximity sensors on top of the display. While the idea of the camera cutout behaving like a mini second display seems innovative, it is unclear what purpose it will serve other than being a visual accessory. Unfortunately, more details like the specs and features of the Huawei smartphone are also unknown at the moment. However, as other manufacturers have promised a device with the camera under the display within a year, we may not have to wait for too long to see the technology in action.

Huawei Mate 30 Leaked With The Highest DxOMark Rating

Huawei is gearing up for the launch of its flagship smartphones after facing numerous complications because of the US Government. The entire ordeal had hampered the company but its operations have finally returned to normal to some extent. The Chinese company had unveiled its flagship Mate 20 series line up about a year ago. Hence, Huawei’s latest Mate 30 series should be right around the corner as another render of the device has leaked online.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

The upcoming top-end smartphone has been previously seen carrying an entirely different design altogether. One had showcased a rectangular camera module at the back, similar to its predecessor, while another showcased a circular camera setup. According to the new leak, it can be seen that the circular rear camera design is being taken forward. The Huawei Mate 30 renders portray a standard modern handset design that features a unique circular quad camera module at the back.

It is unclear which camera sensors Huawei Mate 30 will employ; however, it can be gathered that a 5x optical zoom capable lens will be provided alongside the primary shooter. The renders also show a partnership with Leica for the design and production of the camera lenses. It is labelled as Leica Vario-Summilux-H 1:1.6-3.4/16-125mm ASPH. Notably, the leak has suggested that the upcoming smartphone has the highest DxOMark rating of 115. DxOMark is a company that have historically rated DSLRs and professional grade camera and has started to review smartphones as well. Top brands compete for the best scores with Huawei currently in the lead with the P30 Pro.

Unfortunately, no official statement from the company has been issued. It means that either Huawei’s Mate 30 render could be a prototype design or concept like the previous leaks. Internal specifications and hardware are also unknown but will most likely sport top-notch specs with a great camera similar to its predecessor. More information will probably be available in the arriving weeks and updates will follow soon.

Freshly Leaked Huawei Smartphone Could Be The Mate 30 Pro

Huawei which was once predicted to take over the title of the world’s number one smartphone sometime in 2020, had to face a major setback in the month of May after the US government designated it to an entity list. The US sanction barred all American companies from having any sort of trade relations with the Chinese corporation.

As it seemed everything was going against Huawei, a meeting that took place at the G20 summit between the leaders of two nations, America and China, turned out to be a big sigh of relief for the Chinese company. The US administration led by Donald Trump has allowed American companies to continue selling hardware and software offerings to Huawei until further notice is released.

Freshly, an upcoming flagship grade smartphone from Huawei has been spotted on the micro-blogging website, Twitter. According to the source, the upcoming handset is the Mate 30 Pro which will succeed the praiseworthy Huawei Mate 20 Pro from last year.

The images shared by the tipster present the alleged render of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro and a plastic case, which correspond with each other.

The alleged renders reveal that the rear of the Huawei Mate 30 Pro has a minimalist design that house the company branding and a quad camera setup. The quad rear camera setup is housed in a circular arrangement which also features the Leica branding in the middle. Visual inspection suggests that the topmost camera in the Mate 30 Pro will be a zoom lens as seen on the previously launched Huawei P30 Pro.

Other camera sensors are also assumed to match the ones found on the P30 Pro. Going by past experiences, the ‘Mate’ and ‘P’ series of smartphones have had hetergenous camera setup.

In order to verify the renders and speculations of the Mate 30 Pro, we will have to patiently wait until its launch which is expected to happen in the month of October.

The US Clears Huawei Off Its Entity List, Can Restore Relations With American Firms

In the month of May, the US Commerce Department designated the Chinese tech titan, Huawei to an entity list. This move revoked all American companies from having any sort of trade relations with the Chinese corporation.

Subsequently, Huawei had to deal with a significant setback as major companies including Google and Microsoft had to withdraw their software support for the former’s hardware offerings. As it seemed things could not get worse, ARM, the British semiconductor and software design company also pulled off the plug. Hence, Huawei could no longer manufacture its Kirin chipsets as they incorporated Cortex architecture which is developed by ARM.

Nevertheless, the reason that induced the ban on Huawei in the first place is that the US government accused the company of installing backdoors on its 5G equipment which was considered as a threat to the national security.

Following a month of turmoil, things may get back on track for Huawei. At the G20 summit which is currently being held in Osaka, leaders of both the countries sat together to discuss trade tensions which has now been de-escalated to some extent. According to reports American president, Donald Trump, for the time being, has allowed US-based companies to restore trade relations with Huawei. Therefore, the Chinese corporation can once again buy products and services from American businesses until further notice.

Intriguingly, the US government stated that it will hold the tariffs on China which were previously expected to see a significant rise. In return, China will be purchasing huge quantities of agricultural products produced by US locals.

Despite the fact, circumstances have gotten much better for Huawei, at least for now, the company might take some severe steps to ensure it never has to go through such hardships in the future.

Though the company can again register new smartphones with Android OS, it may still decide to launch a handful of devices with Ark OS or HongMeng Os, the companies in house developed operating system. This will allow Huawei to break free from the monopoly that has been created by the American companies.

All in all, not much can be said about the plans that Huawei might have formed during the short yet difficult period it had to endure. Only the future will unravel what lies in store for Huawei.

Though this is definitely a positive report for all Huawei and Honor device owners which are now likely to get extended software support on their smartphones or tablets.

Honor 9X To Feature A Triple Camera Set Up And Kirin 810

The upcoming smartphone Honor 9X has had a few of its specifications leaked in a new report. The report arrives after various rumours on the Honor 9X Pro, that was seen receiving the EEC certification a week ago. The certification had carried the model numbers for both the smartphones, HLK-L41 (Honor 9X Pro) and HLK-AL10 (Honor 9X).

Specification

Similar to the Honor 9X Pro, the standard version will also sport a 6.5 to 6.7-inch LCD panel on the front. Both of the latest iterations will also likely see an upgrade across the board regarding internal hardware and specifications. The Honor 9X would most probably have a waterdrop notch or punch-hole front facing camera like the beefier pro variant. It is rumoured that both the device will not support fast charging of any kind due to a 10W charger.

The most noteworthy aspect of the leak was the new Kirin 810, which was first unveiled in the Nova 5, will make an appearance on the handset. The Honor 9X Pro would probably receive the same chipset if not a better one. Only educated guesses can be made regarding specifications of both devices since no official statement has been given yet. The Honor 8X had 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage along with Android 9 Pie. The aforementioned configuration could possibly be seen again. The leak apparently also reported on a 3750mAh battery similar to last years model.

Camera

The brand new report also claims that the Honor 9X will feature a triple camera set up at the back. The primary shooter will be a 24MP alongside an 8MP wide-angle lens and 2MP depth sensor. However, it is unclear as to how the module would be positioned on the rear panel. The front facing camera will be a 20MP sensor. It is not certain what special feature Huawei may pack with the new camera sensors.

Unfortunately, no pricing for the Honor 9X has been given out by Huawei, although it is expected to be priced under the sub-15k bracket. The company is not scaling down its business in any manner regardless of the US-China Trade war implications. Huawei is one of the largest smartphones manufacturers in the world and is still launching devices of various types to a global audience.

Huawei Nova 5i Pro Leaked Renders Reveal Quad Rear Cameras, Punch Hole Display

Huawei launched the Nova 5 and Nova 5 Pro at an event in China last week. The smartphones are the latest entrants in the company’s mid-range Nova series. However, two more handsets which were the were the Nova 5i and Nova 5i Pro, also rumoured to be announced at the same event didn’t make an appearance. It was later speculated that the company may be planning on launching them at a later date than expected. While they were leaked in the past, no further information about them followed. Now, popular gadget tipster Evan Blass has revealed the schematics of the Nova 5i Pro which contradicts the design of the smartphone in the previous leak.

Huawei Nova 5i Pro

As mentioned above, the design of the Huawei Nova 5i Pro was leaked on Twitter by the known gadget leaker. Opposing the previous design leak, the alleged schematics of the smartphone reveal a different looking device. The front of the handset has a large display with minimal bezels on all sides and a substantial chin at the bottom. It has a punch hole cutout on the top left corner of the display to maximise the screen real estate of the smartphone; like present in the Galaxy M40 and Honor View20. The right side of the device houses the volume rockers and power button; while the left side remains completely empty save for the SIM card tray. Over at the bottom, a USB port and 3.5mm headphone jack are visible in the image.
