Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 985 chipset will be manufactured with 5G modem using Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC's) new 7nm fabrication process, and it will go into mass production from the third quarter of this year, a media report in CNMO.com has said. TSMC will use 7nm Extreme UltraViolet (EUV) process (called N7+), along with the Flip-Chip Package-on-Package (FC-PoP) process that allows vertical stacking of transistors. A combination of EUV (which increases the accuracy of transistor placement) and FC-PoP manufacturing processes means that the transistor density on the chip will be increased by 20 percent resulting in better performance and lower energy consumption. The news comes almost two weeks after a report in Chinese news outlet Commercial Times claimed the Kirin 985 chipset will enter into mass production in the second half of 2019. Further, it has been reported that Huawei will bring the HiSilicon Kirin 985 in the Mate 30 series of phones. The firs...

You may remember that back in February at MWC 2019 in Barcelona, Energizer unveiled a boatload of phones. The most bizarre of the lot had a humungous 18,000mAh battery, dual pop-up front cameras, and it could seemingly also be used to break through glass in an emergency. In news that will shock nobody, it has spectacularly failed to reach its lofty Indiegogo crowdfunding target. Built by French company Avenir Telecom who license the Energizer brand for use on phones, the P18K managed just 1% (£11,551) of its £923,791 goal.

Switzerland is known for many things, such as its beautiful mountains, lovely villages, and high living expenses. To make it easier for the Swiss to spend their hard-earned cash, Google is launching its mobile payment system in the country today. Google Pay's support documents speak of a rollout for customers of Cornèrcard, Bonuscard, Swiss Bankers, Revolut, and boon. As usual, only credit or debit cards are supported as payment methods.

The OnePlus 7 launch is looming large over us and every few days, a new feature of the upcoming flagship is being disseminated by the brand to create hype leading up to the launch. After announcing that the OnePlus 7 Pro’s display has been rated A+ by DisplayMate, and confirming triple cameras on the back via a newspaper ad, it was revealed the latest cover photo of Harper’s Bazaar magazine was shot using the OnePlus 7 Pro. The magazine announced on social media that the cover photo of their latest issue featuring actor and activist Jameela Jamil, was shot using the OnePlus 7 Pro. The actor insisted that the photos required no digital retouching or airbrushing. The photograph was shot with Jameela in Los Angeles, on a rooftop terrace, according to an ANI report. “It’s a picture-perfect camera, and the output was amazing. I could not believe we had an option to shoot RAW images without having to connect it to an app or computer. We used the photo to capture behind-the-scenes clips a...

Realme is expanding its services and products to the Chinese market and it recently posted a new teaser video on its Weibo page. The video also showed off a new phone that is the company’s first handset to feature a nearly bezel-less design and a pop-up front facing camera. The phone was linked to the Realme handset featuring model number RMX1901, which showed up on a TENAA listing as the images on the registration website closely resembles the handset shown in the video. Now, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer, Xu Qi Chase, has confirmed via a Weibo post that the company’s upcoming phone would be called the Realme X.  It is highly possible that the smartphone with a pop-up camera in the Realme promo video is the Realme X. Qi’s post also suggests that the Realme X is a bezel-less display that delivers a full-screen experience. As per the TENAA listing, the handset might come equipped with a 6.5-inch display OLED display that sports a Full HD+ resolution. The images hint at the ...

US-based firm vpnMentor's research team has discovered a hack that has exposed a database of 80 million (nearly 65 percent) American households. The unprotected 24GB database, hosted on Microsoft Cloud servers, includes the number of people living in each household with their full names, their marital status, income bracket, age, and more. While some information is available freely, other data like title, gender, etc are coded. What’s interesting is that the database is still unidentified, however, given the terminology used (like “member_code” and “score”), it appears that this database belongs to some kind of service that has members in it and they get scores. vpnMentor believes that it is the first time a breach of this size has included peoples’ names, addresses, and income, and dubs the open database as a goldmine for identity thieves and other attackers. How can this impact users?   This type of open database can give access to users’ full name that can be used to gues...

Alphabet — Google's parent company — had its Q1 earnings call yesterday amid its slowest growth in 3 years . A 17% year-on-year revenue increase has some investors concerned and Google CEO Sundar Pichai had to answer some tough questions about the company's hardware prospects. One analyst even went as far as to compare the Pixel phones with Microsoft's unsuccessful smartphone lineup. According to Alphabet CFO Ruth Porat, "recent pressures in the premium smartphone market" were to blame for lower than expected Pixel sales.

Samsung has just released its first-quarter earning calls today, and its previously released profit warnings turned out to be true. The company made a total of KRW 6.2 trillion ($5.3 billion), which is about 60 percent less than last year's first quarter. However, Samsung says that its Galaxy S10 series still sold very well. The first two quarters of a year are traditionally weaker in the tech industry than the last two, but this drop is significant – the company made this little money back in Q1 of 2016, and that number is only slightly bigger than 2016 Q3's Note 7 debacle .

Facebook’s developer conference has become a strange affair. Each year in April, the social network convenes a gathering dedicated to its sprawling platform in San Jose, California, for the thousands of companies, creators, and programmers that depend on it. The conference typically includes announcements for new features coming to Facebook’s suite of apps, along with updates on its more experimental efforts in virtual and augmented reality and artificial intelligence. In recent years, the conference has been overshadowed by controversies related to data privacy, security, moderation, and other topics revolving around Facebook’s struggle to police its platform and reckon with its global influence. Last year, Facebook reportedly delayed... Continue reading… from The Verge - All Posts http://bit.ly/2VATSD9

Tesla plans to sell its solar panels at a price that’s 38 percent lower than the national average in an attempt to halt the decline of its solar business. The New York Times notes that the head of Tesla’s solar department, Sanjay Shah, wants to sell panels for between $1.75 and $1.99 a watt, compared to the national average of $2.85. Shah highlights two main ways Tesla will achieve these price reductions. The first is by standardizing more of its installations. Customers will now only be able to purchase panels in increments of 4kW or 12 panels. Secondly, they will be asked to perform parts of the home installation process such as photographing electric meters and circuit breaker boxes that would have normally required a visit from...

The HTC Exodus 1 was a rather strange release for the company, marketed as a blockchain-focused smartphone. Truth be told, I thought the phone would flop, but the brand is seemingly saying otherwise. HTC’s chief decentralized officer Phil Chen told Digitimes (h/t: PhoneArena ) that Exodus 1 sales indeed met company expectations. This doesn’t necessarily mean the phone achieved amazing sales, as it’s also possible HTC had low expectations anyway. Chen noted that aside from cryptocurrency users, there was “considerable demand for the Exodus 1 from new startups which engage in cryptocurrency trading more frequently.” We’re glad to see some positive news for the company though, and the executive confirmed that a second-generation blockchain phone will launch before the end of 2019. This new phone will bring blockchain functionality to areas such as browsing, messaging, and social media, according to Chen. Editor's Pick What is a blockchain? – Gary Explains If you have hea...
