Keeping a low profile keeps the news hounds guessing. That’s a lesson Chinese telecom giant Huawei could learn. The pot of US allegations, ranging from intellectual property theft to close ties to the Chinese government, was already simmering when Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer and the daughter of its founder, was arrested in Canada on fraud... https://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/united-states/article/2188026/why-huawei-should-lie-low-and-plan-us-listing?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/united-states/article/2188026/why-huawei-should-lie-low-and-plan-us-listing?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 28 Feb 2019 17:00:45 +0000 Is your dog getting enough exercise?

It’s bigger than Samsung’s Galaxy Fold and, at a first glance, looks like it's more advanced. Beautiful and impressively sleek, given the technical complications, it’s expensive at US$2,600. The Mate X also turns into a tablet, but the question is: does anyone actually need that, given the prevalence of cheaper, big-screen phones right now?

Just months after Apple’s lacklustre iPhone sales in China were blamed on their thousand-dollar price tags, Huawei smashed the record with its 5G-ready foldable Mate X model retailing at 2,299 euros (US$2,600), while Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Fold will start from US$1,980.

But that changed after Richard Yu Chengdong, who now heads Huawei’s consumer business, proved to a small Dutch operator the lengths to which the Chinese company was willing to go to serve its customers. Back then, Telfort was the smallest of four cellular communications providers in the Netherlands.

At the show Qualcomm, the maker of the Snapdragon chip sets that enable most of the flagship Android smartphones on the market, demonstrated its X50 chip in a modem capable of downloading at a speed of 4.51 gigabits per second... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/article/2136575/smartphone-manufacturers-ready-roll-out-5g-handsets-ahead-first-networks?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/article/2136575/smartphone-manufacturers-ready-roll-out-5g-handsets-ahead-first-networks?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 11 Mar 2018 12:03:51 +0000 While Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ smartphones drew much of the attention at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 in Barcelona last week, other leading phone makers unveiled their latest products at this most important event in the mobile world. These new phones further confirm that mobile phones have evolved from a communication tool to an entertainment device, with emphasis on enhanced camera capabilities and sound qualities for a better user experience.

Analysts at Gartner last month revealed that global sales of smartphones saw the first year-on-year decline since the firm began tracking the international market in 2004.

It didn’t disappoint this year, with cutting-edge products on show promising easier and cheaper roaming, foreign language translation, an impressive new laptop for business travel, and perhaps the ultimate tablet for in-flight entertainment. 1.

It’s not because the device – believed to be a major upgrade on the previous model with a radical three-camera set-up – wasn’t ready. It’s because the Shenzhen-based tech company already had enough to flaunt at the world’s largest mobile phone trade show,... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/article/2135376/day-i-drove-porsche-using-ai-and-huawei-smartphone-dodging-obstacles-fc?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/article/2135376/day-i-drove-porsche-using-ai-and-huawei-smartphone-dodging-obstacles-fc?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 03 Mar 2018 07:47:15 +0000 The annual Mobile World Congress held at Barcelona is always dominated by new phones from the big brands, but if you look beyond the main halls there is so much innovation to explore. Here is a taste of the tech that caught the eye this week. 1.

However, a new kind of device has emerged with a stronger focus on features that other travellers – think skiers, snowboarders, hikers and snorkellers – have been demanding for years.... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/article/2135220/four-new-rugged-travel-smartphones-built-adventure-will?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/travel-leisure/article/2135220/four-new-rugged-travel-smartphones-built-adventure-will?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 02 Mar 2018 12:00:00 +0000 Shenzhen-based Huawei Technologies said it is the first mobile device manufacturer in the world to use an artificial intelligence (AI) powered smartphone to drive a car. Not just any car – a Porsche Panamera that is autonomously operated by its Mate 10 Pro handset. The car is able to identify objects on the road using big data and algorithms and will choose to either hit the brakes or swerve to avoid the object, depending on what instructions were pre-loaded by the passenger.

Considering it held 20 per cent five years ago, it has been a stunning fall from grace for the Korean electronics giant, with analysts pinning that on its failure to localise its products to satisfy demands of Chinese consumers.

First released in 1996, the Nokia 8110 was often referred to as the “banana phone” due to its distinctive curved shape and was used by Keanu Reeves’ character Neo in the 1999 movie “The Matrix.” HMD Global, a start-up made of ex-Nokia executives, in 2016 acquired the intellectual property rights required to make phones from Nokia .
