Posted: 01 Jul 2019 06:45 AM PDT

The presidents of the United States and China met during the weekend, and decided to reopen trade negotiations in which Huawei was a bargaining chip between both sides. The initial ban from late May was mitigated and now the White House will allow US companies to trade technology that is widely available on the market. The National Economic Council chairman Larry Kudlow said on Fox News Sunday that microchip firms in particular "are selling products that are widely available from other countries", meaning that if some hardware or technology can be found at another market, companies...

Japan's restricted export of key chemicals to South Korea might be a blow to Samsung, LG

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:30 AM PDT

Japan will restrict the export to South Korea of key chemicals used in the production of electronics, reports Japanese newspaper Sankei. This comes after a South Korea's Supreme Court ruled last year that Koreans have not been properly compensated by Japanese companies for the forced labor during World War II. The materials in question are fluorinated polyimide (used in smartphone and TV displays), resist (used when soldering chips to PCBs) and high-purity hydrogen fluoride (used in etching semiconductors). Japan produces 90% of the world's fluorinated polyimide and 70% of the resist,...

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 03:45 AM PDT

The Xiaomi Mi CC9e has reportedly been tested on Geekbench ahead of its July 2 unveil. The subsequent screenshot from the benchmark run doesn't reveal all that much - the Mi CC9e runs Android 9 Pie, has 6GB of RAM and an eight-ocre 1.8GHz chipset. Judging by the single and multi-core results the Xiaomi Mi CC9e could have a Snapdragon 710 or possibly a Snapdragon 632 chip under the hood.

Sony is preparing an Xperia 2 right in time for IFA 2019

Posted: 01 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT

Sony introduced the Xperia 1 at MWC in February, and it might release a follow up at IFA in Berlin. Two new phones with model numbers J8210 and J8010 appeared in UAProf files, while another leakster linked to code names SPHINX and HORUS with 5G modems. J8210 and J8010 spotted in UAProf files We are pretty sure the J8210 is the next star of Sony since the current Xperia 1 carries the model number J8110. Our assumption is the new device will be called Xperia 2, but we could also see Xperia 1 Premium, Xperia 1 5G or something else entirely. An earlier leak suggested a phone...

Redmi K20 series sold in 1 million units

Posted: 30 Jun 2019 11:05 PM PDT

Xiaomi's Redmi K20 and Redmi K20 Pro sold 200,000 units in their first flash sale, and today the company announced that the duo reached 1 million sales. The series was introduced on May 28, which means the company needed just 4-5 flash sales to push over a million smartphones.The numbers might have even been higher, but the production capacity is seemingly limited at this point - the Pro version isn't even available outside China yet. To celebrate the seven-digit sales, Redmi brand manager Lu Weibing announced promo sales in China - every buyer of a Redmi K20 smartphone will get...

Xiaomi Mi 9 SE in for review

Posted: 30 Jun 2019 08:00 PM PDT

A lot like the Xiaomi Mi 9, but lighter and smaller. Also comes without the 3.5 mm audio jack and with more modest chipset and price - that's the Xiaomi Mi 9 SE's short story. Now that the phone is with us we will try and tell you the long one once we take it through our full testing procedure. You even might think SE stands for Small Edition, because it doesn't look that special. But when we tinkered around a little more, we realized it is a very snappy phone, with its Snapdragon 712 chipset and the 6 GB RAM. The weight of 155 grams and the small footprint will...

Week 26 in review: The under-screen camera is here but it's not great

Posted: 30 Jun 2019 12:00 PM PDT

While there weren't many big smartphones announcements this week, there were plenty of very interesting stories. Starting off with Oppo and the reveal of the first under display selfie camera. It has a large sensor with resulting large pixels but its image quality isn't great and it might take some time before it makes it to an actual product. Still, it is an exciting development in the long battle for the full-screen phone. We saw official press renders of upcoming Xiaomi CC9 as well as invitations for its July 2 unveil. The specs include a 48MP main camera as well as a 32MP...
