It is reported that some media previously photographed Xiao Jingteng and his agent in the car during the recording of a new variety show, very close. During the filming break that day, Xiao Jingteng returned to the car to change his pants, while the agent Lin Youhui was sitting in the back seat. After that, Xiao Jingteng took out his mobile phone and took a photo with his agent. Xiao Jingteng took out his mobile phone and pointed it at the two. The woman smiled happily and placed her face next to Xiao Jingteng’s face for a group photo. The relationship was very close.

In April of this year, the two were also photographed walking home together intimately holding hands. The scene looked like an old couple. That day, Xiao Jingteng first drove the luxury car to take the agent to dinner. After eating, the two were strolling in the rain, and the agent on the side held Xiao Jingteng’s hand intimately. It is understood that Xiao Jingteng once accepted an interview with Xiao S in a certain program. Xiao S asked him directly: “Your girlfriend is your agent, right?” Xiao Jingteng replied slowly after being silent for a long time: “I hope this thing is, one day I want to take the initiative to tell everyone, don’t be I was asked” Suspected of tacitly acquiescing in his relationship with the agent

With many mobile phone manufacturers increasing the running memory of their phones to 12G or even 16G, the problem of killing the background has once again become a hot spot. Is it really necessary to kill the background of a mobile phone with such a large memory? In fact, it’s not just users who have a headache for this, but also software developers and Android developer Google.

Recently, Google officially launched an investigation into the background killing of third-party customized systems. It is hoped that software developers can provide relevant information to them. After collecting the information, they will find the person in charge of the relevant system and discuss how to make users’ The experience is better guaranteed.

Why did Google shoot?

For Google, the problem of killing the background is actually not the Android system, but a series of background management mechanisms developed by major custom system manufacturers according to their own needs.

At least as far as the Android system itself is concerned, they are not strict in controlling the backend of the system. According to the design of the native version of Android released by Google, only after the system has recovered all the cache and found that it is still insufficient to provide enough memory to maintain the smooth operation of the system and new apps, will it start to force some apps to close according to the opening sequence. The memory they occupy is recycled.

In the near future, it may be that the complaints of developers have finally accumulated to a certain extent, and Google has also decided to stand up and give some responses. In addition, The back-end management mechanism of some customized system vendors may also violate some Google terms.

According to public documents, as early as 2018, developers on the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) had already submitted documents about custom system vendors abusing Android core permissions and imposing strict background control mechanisms, and received a lot of documents. Developer support. At the same time, some developers who are committed to developing accessibility apps that provide assistance to special people are also very bitter in the document, saying that they have developed an accessibility service app, which has been blocked on many systems for background operation permissions, allowing users to use it. The special people of this app cannot get the services they deserve. For some visually impaired users, they need to use some accessibility software to help them control the phone without others.through Normally, similar accessibility software runs silently in the background, and when their accessibility software is killed in the background, it will be difficult for these users to open the software again. From this point of view, the harsh back-office killing mechanism does affect a group of users. For ordinary users, they may just lose the pages they browsed before. For these special people, it may become a part of their lives. big trouble. Now that Google intends to control and kill the back-end problems, what does Google intend to do? At least, Google has not publicly stated what restrictions or requirements it intends to make on the issue of killing the background, but has initiated a series of investigation procedures, such as asking affected developers to provide the following details: The name of the affected application The name of the OEM and device model they observed the problem Android operating system version Steps to reproduce the problem, as well as expected and observed results Affected API Can they reproduce the same problem on Pixel devices (or other devices running the same Android version). Google’s efforts to control and kill the background problem may be a good thing for some users, but from the point of view of all users, it may not be harmless. Is it right to kill the backstage? I think everyone should know the answer to this question. The reason why the system kills the background is very simple. It is to ensure the fluency of the system and the software currently in use. In the past few years, the problem of the system background was a headache for domestic Android phone users. However, the headache at the time was not that the backstage was killed, but the backstage was inexhaustible. At that time, Android mobile phone manufacturers did not control the background as strict as they are today. Although they also gave restrictions to a certain extent, they were useless in the eyes of domestic App developers. What is even more annoying is that many apps at the time not only had to stay in the background, but also associated wake-ups after being woken up, starting a series of apps that the user did not click on and letting them stay in the background. It is precisely because of these problems that Android users at that time almost regarded flashing as a necessary skill, because only after obtaining the ROOT permission of the system can they install the background control App, and kill all the software that has been resident and self-starting, and return to the system. One smooth. However, it is precisely because of the unscrupulous background staying and self-starting of domestic apps that domestic custom system manufacturers can only always strengthen the background management mechanism. Similarly, other overseas mobile phone manufacturers that have market layouts in the country are the same, and they have even arrived. To the extent that it is better to kill by mistake than to let it go. Except for a part of the key software on record, such as WeChat, QQ, etc., will be retained by the system, and the rest of the software will be killed unless the user adds the software to the whitelist in advance. However, for most users, they are not inclined to actively add software to the whitelist, and many users are not even aware of the existence of the whitelist. As a result, some apps that need to stay in the background to provide services for a long time have to actively guide users to add the App to the whitelist on the setting page. For example, for some apps that are connected to smart wearable devices, in order to be able to feedback user operations and record data at any time, these apps must reside in the background. So if you often hear people complaining that your smartwatch is always not working, then it is probably related to killing the background. In addition, in terms of back-end control, the most stringent ones are probably MIUI and Sony. Among them, the problem of MIUI’s back-office killing has been raging some time ago. At the same time, the official also responded, saying that the back-end mechanism will be adjusted. In fact, the problem of MIUI killing the background is mainly derived from the flares function introduced after the last update. This function is mainly aimed at the problem of frequent self-starting of the software, hoping to make the user’s system smoother. The flares function is mainly aimed at the problem that the App can request user permissions and information without a lower limit. It returns blank information and permissions in a targeted manner. The original intention is not to prevent the software from launching. However, there are many softwares in China that use the method of setting the service as a sticky service on the self-starting and resident background. And service is the area that the flares will focus on, so many softwares are blocked by the flares to stay in the background. After the user shrinks them, they are quickly killed by the system. The other part of the App uses the parent-child process. This part of the software is not within the limit of the flares function, so it can stay in the background for a period of time. This is why the background killing problem of MIUI 12 only appears on some software. . However, follow-up Google and MIUI responded to the developer’s troubles, saying that they will modify the relevant mechanisms to ensure the normal use of the software. In any case, the original intention of the system to kill the background is to allow users to use the phone normally, but if this mechanism is too strict, it will in turn affect the normal use of the user, which is indeed a dilemma. If you want to make the back-end management mechanism more reasonable, you need not only the efforts of custom system vendors and Google, but also the responsibility of software developers. After all, if it is not for software developers to keep self-starting and forcibly staying for benefits The background will not make the system manufacturer’s background control mechanism more stringent. At last At least for now, a strict background mechanism is still necessary, especially on some mobile phones with small running memory. If the software is allowed to reside and associate itself, I am afraid it will really not work properly. However, on mobile phones with 12G or higher running memory, you may consider relaxing the background management to make the user’s multi-App experience better. On the other hand, it still depends on whether Google can make a major change to Android’s background management. If it can imitate Apple to design a similar mechanism, then the background problem can be better solved. Because Apple’s iOS system does not actually have a background, the reason why the App on the iPhone can return to the state just before it was closed after re-waking up is actually because the iOS system retains a snapshot of the information when it is closed, and the App returns When you arrive at the front desk, you can restore it to its previous state based on the snapshot. This mechanism is called a “tombstone”, which is quite vivid. However, if you want to implement the tombstone mechanism on Android, the difficulty may be quite large. Finally, Xiao Lei would like to ask: What do you think about the issue of killing the backstage?

Recently, the main “Duanhechu” of station B demonstrated how to use Xiaomi mobile phone to fry eggs, which attracted the attention of many netizens.

The video titled “Xiaomi 11 Fried Eggs: Can be cooked, only a little bit cooked” shows that some egg whites and egg yolks were dripped on the back of a Xiaomi 11 mobile phone running the Moore Manor game. At about 7 minutes, the protein showed signs of denaturation and coagulation, in a state of “heartbeat”. He said that a small amount of egg liquid can be cooked completely.

The minimum temperature for denaturing egg protein is about 55 degrees. If the user is in contact with the mobile phone for a long time, only 45 degrees will cause low-temperature burns on the skin.

In response to this issue, Xiaomi responded by analyzing the various reasons that may cause the phone to heat up, and said that a special improvement team has been set up for various situations to jointly solve the problem of “phone fever”. It should be noted that Xiaomi President Lei Jun also reposted this response on social media.

Jin Fan, Xiaomi’s product director and MIUI experience general manager, said that Xiaomi’s internal analysis has been done in detail, and the fever is mainly concentrated in the following scenarios: game fever, video call fever, video fever, charging fever.

According to the analysis of the Xiaomi team, the main reasons for the fever of mobile phones include:

1. In order to pursue the ultimate performance, the Xiaomi flagship machine uses high-specification hardware and a performance-biased scheduling method, which brings more power consumption; third-party applications continue to iteratively update, continue to increase system load, and mobile phone power consumption increase;

2. The increase in the charging power of mobile phones has brought faster charging speeds, but it also brings the risk of heat generation;

3. The application of the operator’s 5G SA makes some of the original power consumption optimization methods ineffective, increases the power consumption of the data network, and also increases the risk of heating.

4. The gradual warming of the weather is also a factor in the increase in the temperature of the mobile phone (Xiaomi emphasized that this cannot be used as a reason).

   Jin Fan said that Xiaomi has set up a MIUI special team internally to conduct disassembly and analysis together and formulate corresponding optimization strategies. Each improvement has a dedicated person to follow up and implement.

It should be noted that many netizens do not buy these explanations from Xiaomi. Some netizens believe that Xiaomi explained and analyzed the reasons for the heat of the mobile phone, but did not answer why it is hotter than other mobile phone brands that use Qualcomm’s flagship chip, fast charging technology, and 5G technology. On the Black Cat Consumer Complaint Platform, a search with Xiaomi fever as a keyword showed 377 results. The problematic models were mainly concentrated in Xiaomi 11, Xiaomi 11 Ultra and Redmi K30 Extreme Edition, and the response problems were concentrated on the problem of not being hot. Normal use, WIFI and hotspots cannot be used normally. Xiaomi Mi 11 and 11 Ultra are regarded as the most proud flagship products by Xiaomi, with prices starting at 3769 yuan, while the 11 Ultra Extreme Edition models are priced at more than 6,000 yuan. At the same time, Xiaomi 11 Ultra was designated by Xiaomi as the “New Species of Android Imaging”. Since Huawei’s mobile phone market has shrunk, Xiaomi has achieved remarkable results in seizing the high-end mobile phone market. According to the data of Xiaomi’s “618 Battle Report”, Xiaomi’s mobile phone ranked No. 1 in sales of Android mobile phones on all platforms, and No. 1 in sales of Android phones on JD.com and Tmall platforms in the price range of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. It is the Xiaomi 11 series models. If it’s caused by software, Xiaomi can solve this problem by updating it, but if it’s a design defect or hardware problem, Xiaomi may face a “return tide.” In response to this issue, GPLP Rhino Finance sought confirmation from Xiaomi, but no response was received as of press time. However, from the information released by Jin Fan, Xiaomi is ready to optimize and solve this problem for MIUI. First of all, Xiaomi will redesign the game scene, introduce intelligent stabilization technology, and give priority to ensuring frame rate stability to reduce heat generation. At present, the game frame stabilization technology has been imported into most Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 platform mobile phones. Secondly, Xiaomi is designing and developing a “balanced mode” that can intelligently switch the resolution and refresh rate according to different applications, and is more stringent in the control of background references. In addition, Xiaomi re-adjusted the previously developed scheduling scheme Turbo Sched, and made a differentiated scenario strategy for the adaptation network CDRX and BWP capabilities. It should be noted that Xiaomi’s current optimization efforts are aimed at Snapdragon 888 platform models. This means that the problem of heat generation and high power consumption in the Redmi K30 Extreme Edition is still unknown when it will be resolved.

In fact, new technology is becoming the key for mobile phone manufacturers to seize the market. Judging from the new models released by major mobile phone brand manufacturers recently, folding screen phones with novel appearances have become the main line of smart phone hardware innovation. For more than 10 years, the iPhone has defined the overall shape and style of smartphones, but it is clear that people have become a little tired of continuing the same shape for many years. For the folding mobile phone that most tests the technical strength of the mobile phone manufacturer, who can make the folding screen mobile phone from an expensive financial product to a product that can effectively improve the user’s efficiency will undoubtedly bring a halo effect to the mobile phone manufacturer. The new era of mobile phone form: folding screen A few days ago, China Mobile Terminal Laboratory’s “The Second Phase of 5G Terminal Consumption Trend Report in 2020” showed that the frequency of mobile phone users in China is further extending, reaching an average of 25.3 months. In the PC era, there is a law that software promotes the continuous development of hardware, and the early mobile phone market also followed this law. But with the general improvement in quality control and mediocre innovation, this law has begun to fail during the bottleneck period of the industry, and many people have no urge to change to a new mobile phone. The turning point occurred with the emergence of folding phones. Folding and stretching, craftsmanship is exquisite, who doesn’t want to have a folding phone? Many organizations believe that folding screens will become a major trend in the development of the smart phone market in the future. According to IHS Markit’s forecast, the global folding screen market shipments in 2020 will reach nearly 5.2 million units, and it is expected to exceed 50 million units in 2025, with a compound growth rate of about 57% from 2020 to 2025. With the rapid rise in the popularity of folding screen mobile phones, more and more mobile phone manufacturers have begun to enter the game. In February 2020, Samsung released the Z Flip, its second folding screen mobile phone. In terms of design, it uses a fold up and down method. When the screen is fully unfolded, it is a 6.7-inch screen; On February 22 this year, Huawei also iterated its new product folding screen mobile phone-Huawei Mate X2. Compared with the previous two generations, it has a major change in appearance design. It adopts an internal folding screen design scheme. The inner screen is a flexible screen with a golden ratio of 8:7.1, with a size of 8.01 inches. From the timeline, although Samsung and Huawei’s folding screen phones have been “debut” for 2 years, the million-level shipments still remain in the niche group early adopters, largely because of their high cost. price. IHS has compared Samsung’s folding mobile phone with the flagship phone released at the same time and found that the increased raw material cost is mainly reflected in the display, hinge, motherboard PCB, battery, chip and other components. “Taking the comparison between Samsung Galaxy Fold and Galaxy S10+ as an example, the total cost has increased by 30%. Among them, due to the increase of the display screen area, the BOM cost of the display screen of the Galaxy Fold has increased by 77% compared with the Galaxy S10+; while the battery and the hinge are zero. The cost of components has increased by 120%, and the cost of PCB has increased by 14%. Not only that, due to the dual-mainboard design of folding mobile phones, the consumption of chips, FPC, metal structural parts, electromagnetic shielding parts, etc. will also be greatly increased.” However, in April this year, Xiaomi came to change the folding screen industry. The first sale breaks 400 million in one minute; it has been folded for 180 hours and has been folded 400,000 times in a row…The Xiaomi MIX FOLD folding screen with a price of less than 10,000 yuan releases a strong signal to the outside world through a series of data: folding The machine may no longer be a toy for a few people. It is also worth mentioning that Apple, which is absent from the folding screen market, is also actively developing folding screen products. Earlier, there were media reports that Apple is studying a technology that enables two or more devices to work together when they are close. This technology can create a foldable iPhone that does not bend the screen. According to the document description, Apple’s folding technology uses two completely independent screens, which can be used as a display when unfolded. “We predict that if Apple can solve the key technology and mass production problems of folding mobile devices in 2021, Apple may launch a 7.5-8 inch foldable iPhone in 2023.” Tianfeng Securities, well-known Apple analyst Guo Ming Z, announced Wrote in the research report. With more and more mainstream mobile phone manufacturers launching new folding mobile phones, senior industry insiders believe that in the future, folding screen mobile phones are expected to accelerate from a “niche” to popularization. Folding screens are approaching the cost and reliability explosion cycle Even if it is becoming a trend, compared with ordinary mobile phones, folding screen mobile phones still face greater problems in terms of screen, cover, hinge, touch, cost, and software matching. Founder Securities once pointed out that “folding screen hinges use more than 100 components, which have the characteristics of high complexity, high folding life requirements, and high product reliability requirements.” And Everbright Securities stated that the hinges of folding mobile phones must ensure that the mobile phone is folded. Keep a certain R angle after opening, and keep it flat after opening, and it also needs to withstand more than 100,000 folding tests, which is very difficult for research and development. As early as February 2019, Samsung was the first to release the Galaxy Fold, a folding screen phone. However, due to black screen, splash screen, and screen bumps, Samsung delayed the global sales date of this $1,980 product. It was a big setback for Samsung. Although the Huawei Mate X did not reveal any quality problems when it went public, the lack of mass production has caused it to be in a state of “difficult to find a single machine” for a long time. A Mate X on the second-hand market was once fired up to RMB 8 to 90,000. After redesigning the Galaxy Fold and officially launching it on the market, Samsung officially announced that its own product can be folded 200,000 times. However, according to the screen folding test conducted by SquareTrade, which purchased the product, the hinge lost 98% after folding 119,380 times. The damping sense, half of the screen stops working. Huawei did not disclose the specific number of times its new folding mobile phone Mate X2 has been folded. Whether folding screens can be popularized, the core lies in two aspects: cost and reliability. From the current mobile phone manufacturers, Xiaomi is very likely to become a promoter of folding screen mobile phones. First of all, compared with other expensive folding phones, the price of Xiaomi MIX FOLD is obviously very cost-effective. Why can the price be lowered below 10,000 yuan? This is inseparable from the smart factory built by Xiaomi in Beijing Yizhuang. This smart factory called “Black Light Factory” covers an area of ​​18,600 square meters and is equipped with a “full-process automated production line from production management to machine processing, packaging and storage. It is capable of producing more than one million smartphones each year. The folding screen MIX FOLD is also produced in this factory. According to Lei Jun, the Xiaomi Industry Fund has invested in more than 70 semiconductor and smart manufacturing companies. What Xiaomi will do in the future is “manufacturing by manufacturing” to help more manufacturing companies realize smart manufacturing. Secondly, in terms of technical reliability, the U-shaped hinge design adopted by Xiaomi MIX FOLD is very precise and tough. It has not only passed 200,000 bending reliability tests, but also has a limit of 1 million folding times. In order to further verify the folding ability of Xiaomi MIX FOLD, Lei Jun also arranged a live broadcast last month, using mechanical devices to open and close a Xiaomi MIX FOLD continuously and violently for 24 hours, and all netizens can watch the progress at any time. After 7 days of challenge, Xiaomi MIX FOLD has completed 400,000 folding times, which is equivalent to a 10-year life span in normal use. Stand out from the competition. The high-end leap of Chinese mobile phones under the folding screen In recent years, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have led the world in technological innovation. Take Xiaomi as an example: the first under-screen camera, under-screen fingerprint recognition, 120W fast charge…Every time the “black technology” is released, it leads the technological trend of the mobile phone circle. . But from a long-term perspective, the core technology investment related to chips can help brands build long-term growth capabilities. After Huawei, it is generally believed that almost no domestic mobile phones can participate in the high-end competition between Apple and Samsung. Recently, affected by trade frictions and other factors, my country has frequently encountered serious problems of “stuck necks” in the semiconductor field. The independence and controllability has aroused great attention and reflection of the whole society, and domestic substitution has become a necessity. But as we all know, the chip industry pursues the three high laws: high risk, high input, and high output, and there is a huge demand for funds. Judging from the current situation, Xiaomi is second only to Huawei in the future-leading folding screen field and high-end market, and is currently the only domestic mobile phone manufacturer capable of independent research and development of chips. Earlier, a lot of noise from the outside world questioned that Xiaomi’s self-developed chips were in a difficult production, but Lei Jun publicly responded that Xiaomi’s road to core making has never stopped. 2021 is the seventh year of Xiaomi’s core dream. In this year, Xiaomi’s second commercial self-developed chip, the surging C1 (image signal processing chip ISP), is again used in its own products. If SoC is the brain of the mobile phone, then the ISP is the visual nerve center of the mobile phone, which plays a vital role in imaging quality. It is reported that the surging C1 was completed by Xiaomi in 2 years and invested hundreds of millions of R&D expenses. The 3A algorithm, low-light focusing ability and image quality have been improved, which can bring more accurate auto white balance, auto focus, auto exposure and Image quality. At the same time, the world’s first liquid lens adopted by Xiaomi MIX FOLD can achieve 3X optical zoom, up to 30X telephoto, and 3cm macro focus more easily. Although it is only a small chip, it is worth mentioning that the ISP technology content is not small. Xiaomi is the only two domestic mobile phone manufacturers that produce self-developed ISPs. Lei Jun said, “This surging C1 is a small step on the road of Xiaomi’s chip and a milestone in Xiaomi’s imaging technology. To provide users with a better experience, we continue to explore, and the surging waves never stop.” All of this is inseparable from Xiaomi’s investment in research and development. The financial report shows that in 2020, Xiaomi’s research and development has reached 9.3 billion yuan. The company said that it will continue to increase investment in various technologies in the future. At the same time, Lei Jun stated in the “Open Letter to Investors” that Xiaomi has established the “three iron laws” that will never change: technology-based, cost-effectiveness as the key link, and the coolest products. “In 2020, our R&D investment will be close to 10 billion. This year we expect to increase by more than 30%, which is expected to exceed 13 billion yuan. We will further expand the size of our R&D team. This year we will recruit more than 5,000 engineers.” Through Xiaomi’s series of layouts, it can be seen that Xiaomi is embarking on an original path to master more independent core technologies. When the fierce battle among manufacturers is going on, who can become the next leader in the high-end market remains to be discussed in the market, but Xiaomi is full of hope.

Shen Yiren said that mobile phone companies are aggressively increasing inventories because they worry about component shortages and increase inventories aggressively. Since the fourth quarter of last year, the global chip supply caused by automobile chips has been tight and has spread to the mobile phone chip industry. By the first quarter of this year, even the mobile phone chip giant Qualcomm said that it was facing a tight production capacity, and many domestic mobile phone companies have stocked up.

Another reason for domestic mobile phone companies to increase inventory is the decline of Huawei mobile phones. Since the fourth quarter of last year, Huawei mobile phones have mainly relied on stock chips to operate. Its shipments have gradually declined, and shipments in the domestic market have increased in the first quarter of this year. Compared with the same period last year, while the shipments of Xiaomi OV have increased significantly, mobile phone companies may think that they can occupy the market if they have production capacity.

Once again, mobile phone companies expect to enter the year of 5G popularization this year. 5G mobile phones will become the absolute mainstream of the smartphone market. Technology upgrades will help promote mobile phone sales. 4G has changed the pattern of the domestic mobile phone market. The opportunity to live in 4G has laid the current pattern, and for this reason they hope to seize the opportunity of 5G to consolidate their market position.

Just as the mobile phone companies are overly optimistic about the domestic mobile phone market, the market has hit them with a sap. According to data released by the Institute of Information and Communications Technology, the Chinese market shipped 22.968 million mobile phones in May, down 32% year-on-year. The Chinese mobile phone market is in a downturn and consumers lack the desire to buy mobile phones.

Among them, the performance of 5G mobile phones that mobile phone companies have high expectations is also unsatisfactory. 5G mobile phone shipments in May were 16.739 million units, an increase of 7% year-on-year, but compared to the peak of 27.498 million 5G mobile phone shipments in March this year, it fell by more than 10 million. Department or 39.1%. Another data shows that iPhone shipments in May soared more than 40% month-on-month to 3.8 million units, which means that the market share of domestic Android phones has been further squeezed.

The sluggish domestic mobile phone market is also related to the continuous price increase of domestic mobile phone brands. Today, domestic mobile phone brands are priced at nearly 1,000 yuan for low-end 5G phones, which is twice as expensive as 4G phones, as low as 500 yuan; high-end phones have broken through 3,000 yuan and 4,000 yuan. , Even more than 6,000 yuan, but as mentioned above, consumers prefer the iPhone when buying high-end mobile phones, driving the surge in iPhone sales while the overall sales of domestic mobile phones have fallen, and the price increase of domestic mobile phones has made the iPhone.

The domestic mobile phone market is in a downturn, especially the sales of 5G mobile phones have not continued to rise. This is undoubtedly a major blow to domestic mobile phone brands that are actively stocking. They all hope to clear their inventory during the 618 promotion period. However, domestic consumers are tired of promotional routines. Looking at 618 coldly, the dream of mobile phone companies hoping to rely on 618 to clear inventory is not satisfactory. Perhaps this is why Shen Yiren believes that the inventory of domestic mobile phone brands may have to be cleared until this year’s Double Eleven.

In the face of huge inventory pressure, domestic mobile phone brands have been promoting in other ways, such as student prices and other ways to greatly reduce prices. If inventory pressure cannot be released, they are likely to continue to reduce prices significantly in the future, so consumers who Shen Yiren said can wait. It makes sense to wait. The iPhone 13 will come in a few months. The domestic high-end mobile phones cannot compete with the iPhone 12. When the price of the iPhone 12 is further reduced, the domestic Android flagship will not be able to clear the inventory without jumping off the property.

Dear friends, what do you think of the above four models that ushered in a big price cut in June? Do you like it? Welcome everyone to leave a message and exchange views with each other.

The executive of a mobile phone company said that from the perspective of an engineer, the power consumption of the mobile phone will increase after the 5G SA is turned on. Under normal circumstances, the power consumption increases by about 170mA, while some areas (estimated to be areas with poor 5G network coverage) consume The power is increased by 300mA. Such technical terms may be difficult to understand. He directly said that battery life may be reduced by 20%-30%.

The power consumption of 5G mobile phones is too high because 5G mobile phones need to increase 5G radio frequency and 5G antennas. Generally speaking, 5G mobile phones have more antennas than 4G mobile phones, which leads to a significant increase in the power consumption of 5G mobile phones. At the same time, the current 5G network coverage is not perfect. , China’s two 5G networks, each 5G network has only more than 400,000 base stations, while China Mobile built 700,000 4G base stations in 2014, and the coverage of 5G base stations is much smaller than 4G, which leads to the power consumption of 5G mobile phones. Obviously too high.

In order to ensure the endurance of 5G mobile phones, the current 5G mobile phones generally use 4000mAh high-capacity batteries, which also shows that mobile phone companies generally recognize that 5G mobile phones will consume much more power than 4G. However, as an executive of a mobile phone company mentioned above It is said that even a large-capacity battery cannot ensure a better endurance, which is why he suggested that if the endurance is really important, it is recommended to turn off the 5G function.

In fact, since the commercialization of 5G, the problem of serious power consumption of 5G base stations has received widespread attention. In order to ensure the power supply of 5G base stations, even various localities have issued relevant policy support to ensure the construction of power supply infrastructure for 5G base stations. It can also be seen from this that 5G Excessive power consumption of base stations has caused the existing power supply network to be insufficient to support the operation of 5G base stations and have to re-lay the power supply system for 5G base stations.

Subsequently, the three major operators even revealed that electricity bills have soared due to the high power consumption of 5G base stations, and the high cost makes them unaffordable, and they have to shut down 5G base stations during idle periods. Some analysts pointed out that the power consumption of 5G base stations is 3-5 times that of 4G base stations. In addition, the density of 5G base stations far exceeds 4G. If a 5G network covering the whole country is built, the electricity bill will be as high as 200 billion, which will eat up the three major operators. Profit.

This information proves that the power consumption of 5G base stations is terribly large. Nowadays, executives of mobile phone companies have come forward to explain the serious power consumption of 5G mobile phones. It is recommended that users simply turn off the 5G function if they consider battery life. It can be seen that 5G base stations and mobile phones consume power. They are all too outrageous, which makes all parties quite dissatisfied.

Faced with such a situation, it is no wonder that this year’s 5G boom is obviously not as good as last year. In the first four months of this year, operators built less than 30,000 5G base stations per month on average, which is significantly lower than last year’s average of 50,000 per month; and the Chinese market in 2020 Only 308 million mobile phones were sold in China, far lower than the historical peak of nearly 450 million mobile phones. It shows that 5G has not effectively stimulated consumers’ desire to purchase mobile phones. There are actually two 4G mobile phones, namely iPhone11 and Redmi 9A, showing that many users still choose 4G.

Vietnam is one of the fastest growing telecommunications markets in the region and the world in recent years. According to the General Statistics Office, at the end of 2005, Vietnam had only 15.8 million telephone subscribers, including 8.7 million mobile phone subscribers and 7.1 million landline phone subscribers and 210,000 telephone subscribers. cover the Internet. But only 5 years later, the whole country had 125.9 million phone subscribers, nearly 8 times more. In which, there are 111.5 million mobile phone subscribers, 12.8 times higher and 14.4 million landline phone subscribers, 2 times higher. The number of Internet subscribers increased rapidly during this period with 3.7 million fixed broadband Internet subscribers, 17 times higher than 2005. But after that, the number of phone subscribers decreased gradually, the biggest decrease was fixed phones. In the period 2012 – 2015, the number of telephone subscribers achieved an average growth of 0.5%/year, of which the number of mobile phone subscribers increased by 2.1%/year and fixed subscribers decreased by 17.7%/year. year. In contrast, the number of fixed broadband Internet subscribers is still growing quite high, an average of nearly 16% per year, reaching 7.7 million subscribers in 2015. However, in recent years, the telecommunications market is facing saturation of traditional telecommunications services. The number of landline phone subscribers tends to decrease sharply. By the end of 2020, there were only 3.2 million subscribers, down 41% compared to the same period in 2015 and down 78% compared to the same period in 2010. The operation of the fixed telephone service segment is currently only in moderation, mainly serving agencies, government organizations and businesses. For mobile phone subscribers, by the end of 2020, the whole country has 123.6 million subscribers, which is only close to the number of subscribers in 2015. In addition to the recent decrease in demand, there are also mobile phone operators. The network handles garbage SIM according to the regulations of the Ministry of Information and Communications. The number of broadband Internet subscribers continued to maintain a high growth rate for many years when at the end of last year, there were 16.7 million subscribers, 2.2 times higher than in 2015, an average annual increase of 16.9%. The growth rate of the telecommunications market is also reflected in the revenue figures, whereby telecommunications revenue in 2010 reached 177.8 trillion VND, maintaining the growth rate of over 40% in previous years. By the period 2011 – 2015, post and telecommunications revenue continued to maintain a fairly high growth rate, increasing by nearly 60% in 2015 compared to 2010, increasing by nearly 10% on average per year. In the period of 2016 – 2018, telecommunications revenue maintained a fairly high increase of nearly 8% compared to the previous year, but by 2019 only increased by 2.6%. Particularly in 2020 due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, telecommunications revenue dropped sharply by 13.6%, reaching only VND 315,200 billion. The telecommunications market share is quite fiercely competitive by optimizing value-added services on the number of existing subscribers. In addition, revenue from traditional telecommunications services is also greatly influenced by the popularity of free calling and messaging OTT applications. Decision No. 749/QD-TTg dated June 3, 2020 of the Prime Minister approving the “National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with orientation to 2030” has made Vietnam one of the The first country in the world to issue a program on National Digital Transformation, which is a favorable condition for businesses to actively exploit the opportunities brought by the technological revolution. With the goal of “Vietnam belongs to the group of 70 leading countries in e-Government (EGDI)”; “Digital economy accounts for 20% of GDP”; “The fiber optic broadband network infrastructure covers over 80% of households, 100% of communes” and “Universal 4G/5G mobile network services and smart phones”, telecommunications businesses, digital businesses there is a lot of room for growth.

Speaking of Saigon, everyone must know about Nguyen Hue pedestrian street, where anyone who comes here must definitely visit once to check-in to “offer” Facebook. Although the length is less than 700m, the pedestrian street attracts many people of all ages as well as a variety of activities here, young or old, relaxing or playing sports, all gathered here. Or like young skateboarders who also come here to play, both spacious and right in the center, easier to focus the whole society together. Fast-moving photos are always the fear of mid-range smartphones, because the camera and image processor will not be as responsive as the high-end line, besides there is no anti-shake. But with the Galaxy A72, Samsung has changed this “prejudice” when equipping their smartphone with an OIS optical stabilization system. Besides, the camera system of the Galaxy A72 also offers a comprehensive photography solution when it has a full range of lenses from wide angle, super wide angle, 3x optical zoom telephoto and even macro. The pedestrian street will be even more bustling at night, because this is the ideal place for people to relax after a stressful day of work or study. Because of that, eating and drinking activities also sprang up quickly, from grilled rice paper, grilled squid or even milk tea and coffee around which are always crowded with customers. Types of entertainment and sports activities are not only concentrated in District 1 but also appear in the South of the city, more specifically District 7. In the picture is a dinosaur rowing SUP, a sport emerging in recent years among young people and receiving more and more acceptance. With 3x optical zoom on the Galaxy A72, even standing on the shore, you can still capture a funny moment like this. This place is also quite suitable for outdoor activities because the riverside is very beautiful in the afternoon sun and especially when skewering through rows of reeds like this, suitable for young people who like to have super poetic portraits or just If you need a macro like this, it’s “deep” enough. There is still a lot to discover in this Saigon that I have not mentioned, or even stepped into. But if you have good experiences about this city, know the good activities of Saigon, try once to pick up your phone, capture those bustling moments and create a story for yourself. by myself.

This manufacturing company now owns a phone and electronic equipment factory with an annual design capacity of 125 million devices. In the most recent year (2020), VinSmart said it sold 1.95 million smartphones to the market, up 225% compared to 2019 sales (600,000 units). One of the two production components of Vingroup With record-high phone sales, VinSmart also became the third largest smartphone supplier in the domestic market with 12.7% market share. This is the first time a Vietnamese phone brand is in the top of the largest manufacturers and consumers in the market. VinSmart sold more than 1.95 million smartphones to the domestic market and exported 1.3 million units in 2020. Photo: Gemini. Notably, in addition to selling phones in the domestic market, in the past year, VinSmart also for the first time recorded revenue from outsourcing and manufacturing original equipment for foreign partners. In it, the company said it had signed a contract and started exporting smartphones to US carriers and foreign customers, with an output of 1.3 million units last year. Returning to the domestic market, VinSmart has now launched 18 smartphone models in the segments from popular to high-end. In addition, this manufacturer has also begun to expand its product portfolio to other electronic devices such as electronic components, air purifiers, etc. In 2020, VinSmart has also become a partner for manufacturing components. blower components for Medtronic PLC ventilators, exported to the US and Ireland. In addition to the production of phones and electronic devices, VinSmart is also the enterprise in charge of building a technology ecosystem for Vingroup’s real estate projects with three core products, including Smart city (member of Vingroup). smart city), Smart home (smart home) and Smart services (digital services). Currently, VinSmart is the contractor in charge of deploying smart city solutions in all 3 major urban areas of Vinhomes including Vinhomes Ocean Park, Vinhomes Smart City (Hanoi) and Vinhomes Grand Park (HCMC). Manufacturing is not prioritized? In the latest announcement, Vingroup announced that it will close VinSmart’s TV and mobile phone production segments to focus on developing high technology for VinFast. This move follows after Vietnam’s largest private group had to withdraw from a series of previous business activities to focus on industry and technology. In fact, although it is one of the two components forming the production division of Vingroup, VinSmart’s activities are always invested much less than VinFast. Specifically, in terms of both investment scale and business results, VinSmart is still very modest compared to car and electric vehicle manufacturers with the same owner. According to the separate financial report of parent company Vingroup in the first quarter, the original value of Vingroup’s investment in VinSmart is estimated at nearly VND 5,000 billion, an increase of more than VND 2,000 billion compared to the beginning of the year. However, this figure is less than a quarter of the value of Vingroup’s investment in VinFast, reaching VND 22,007 billion at the same time. The scale of investment and production activities of VinSmart is much smaller than that of VinFast. Photo: Hoang Ha. Despite being one of two subsidiaries that received additional capital through direct investment in the first quarter, the value of Vingroup’s investment in VinSmart is currently only fifth and much lower than other businesses like Vinhomes (22,981 Billion); VinFast (22,007 billion); Vinpearl (16,992 billion); Vincomerce Holding (5,928 billion). In previous years, the investment in VinSmart was also in the middle and low group of Vingroup’s long-term financial investments in subsidiaries. Regarding business results, because VinSmart’s operating report has not been published in detail, the company’s revenue and profit is still accounted for in the production department along with VinFast. In 2020, the revenue of Vingroup’s production division (including VinFast and VinSmart) reached over VND 18,000 billion, an increase of more than 80% compared to 2019. In which, the leader of this group said revenue increased sharply in the year. thanks to increased sales of cars and smartphones. However, as planned by the leadership of this group continuously, Vingroup’s production division in the same year had a pre-tax loss of nearly VND 14,000 billion. In the first quarter of this year, manufacturing was also one of Vingroup’s high-growth business divisions along with real estate. Revenue from this activity brought the group a total of VND4,825 billion, up 44% over the same period. However, the business results report by division of Vingroup said that this business segment still has a pre-tax loss of 4,814 billion. With the cessation of smartphone and television production, in the coming time, VinSmart will focus mainly on high-tech development for VinFast and partly on Vinhomes’ real estate projects. In addition, part of the factory will be used to process for partners, the rest will be expanded and adjusted to produce new products.

Existing for 3 years, VinSmart sometimes reached the top 3 in terms of smartphone market share in Vietnam. No more Vietnamese phones that can compete “My feeling was surprise and disappointment when I received this information. During the VinSmart product business, The Gioi Di Dong assessed that this brand has gained competitiveness in certain segments. Their products are not inferior to other competitors”, a representative of The Gioi Di Dong, the smartphone retailer with the largest market share in Vietnam, shared. Zing . VinSmart is able to compete with other brands in the smartphone field. Meanwhile, the second retailer in the market, FPT Shop, also evaluates that VinSmart’s smartphones are capable of competing with other brands. “FPT Shop and consumers will regret it when Vietnamese brands gradually withdraw from the smartphone market. This is an area that requires constant and very fast updates. However, the mobile phone market has always had a very high level of competition,” said Nguyen The Kha – Head of Mobile Telecommunications Sector FPT Shop, expressing his regret at VinSmart’s announcement to stop the mobile segment. According to FPT Shop, VinSmart’s smartphones are beautifully designed, well-configured and reasonably priced. Vsmart competes strongly with brands from China. In the price segment of less than 4 million VND, Vsmart always has product lines such as Live, Star or Joy that compete well and, above all, are guaranteed for up to 18 months. VinSmart’s competitiveness is shown through numbers, not words. According to market research firm GfK In March, the market share of Vsmart-branded smartphones in Vietnam was 8.2%, ranking 6th in the domestic market. VinSmart achieved a market share of 12.1%, entering the group of 4 best-selling smartphone brands in Vietnam in December 2020. Previously, in October 2020, the company ranked 3rd with 10.5% market share. VinSmart was born in June 2018, and introduced the first smartphones 6 months later. After nearly 3 years of development, Vsmart has launched 19 phone models and 5 TV models. In June 2020, VinSmart announced that it had sold 1.2 million phones. Thus, with the stop of VinSmart, the Vietnamese mobile market still has a name called Bphone of Bkav. However, Bphone 3 has been sold since 2018 with undisclosed sales. Meanwhile, the B40 model was introduced in May 2020, but so far, after a year, this device has not been sold on the market. Model B86 has been discontinued from retail chains. Right decision “I was surprised when I received the news that VinSmart stopped the mobile and TV business. The first feeling is regret when losing a Vietnamese smartphone brand but fully support this decision. This is the right decision in the new context, specifically the epidemic,” said Mai Trieu Nguyen, owner of the Mai Nguyen mobile retail chain. Stopping the smartphone segment and focusing on electric cars is the right direction for Vingroup. According to Mr. Nguyen, besides needing capital to focus on developing VinFast, Vingroup also has to deal with the scarcity of processor chips in the whole industry. “In the context of Covid-19, chips are scarce. Without a chip, there would be no smartphone, the whole line had to wait for a supplier. A smartphone has a lot of chips. This dependence only makes the situation worse. Not to mention that chip suppliers often give preference to partners who sell in larger quantities,” Nguyen predicted the reason VinSmart stopped the smartphone business. At the same time, Mr. Nguyen also gave an example of another Vietnamese brand, Mobiistar, which also stopped doing business because of difficulties in the supply chain. “Mobiistar has tried to overcome difficulties in the component supply chain by selling in India. When the sales volume is large, the company is better able to negotiate components with suppliers,” said Mr. Nguyen. Meanwhile, Apple and Samsung, the two leading brands in the supply chain are also facing difficulties when processor chips are scarce due to the epidemic. Some other companies have had to postpone the product launch date because of a lack of components. According to experts, the decision to dissolve the business segment that has been built for 3 years and has a good market share is not easy. I really respect the executive brains because this is the right decision of VinSmart in the new context, namely the epidemic. Mr. Mai Trieu Nguyen, owner of mobile retail chain Mai Nguyen Previously, HTC and LG also hesitated for a long time before deciding to withdraw from this fiercely competitive market. “They wait too long only to push them into debt and loss. Vingroup’s management team is more assertive. What area has no future they boldly cut out. Buying and closing Vien Thong A or closing VinMart is one of their timely decisions,” said Nguyen. In addition, the electric car market is being evaluated as having the most potential for growth because this segment is still in its infancy. “Famous names in the technology industry such as Huawei, Sony, Xiaomi, Oppo all have plans to change direction. So it is very understandable that VinGroup closes the phone segment to seriously invest in electric cars. But honestly, emotionally, I still regret losing a Vietnamese brand in the smartphone market,” Nguyen concluded. Leaving the popular group market share for Oppo, Xiaomi VinSmart’s products are considered to focus on the segment under VND 4 million. In this segment, brands like Oppo, Xiaomi, vivo and even Samsung have competitive representation. The most obvious is the top 10 best-selling smartphones of GfK In the first quarter of 2020, there were 7 models priced under 5 million VND. Names like Samsung A12/A02s/A12/M15, Oppo A12/A15/A53 are typical examples for the strategy of using low-priced smartphones to capture market share of brands. In the smartphone segment under VND 5 million, companies like Samsung, Oppo, Xiaomi or vivo all see this as a place to capture market share. Low-cost phones make it easier for carriers to reach consumers, thereby creating loyal customer groups. This is an indispensable segment of a brand, although the profit performance may not be as high as that of high-end smartphones. Besides VinSmart, Bphone is the last Vietnamese brand that produces smartphones. According to the latest data from GfK , VinSmart accounted for 9.3% of Vietnam’s mobile market share in February 2021. The absence of VinSmart will leave a gap for brands with strengths in the popular group. “The appearance of Vsmart even in a short time with abundant financial potential, has taken more than 10% of the smartphone market share from foreign firms. This affirms, we Vietnamese people always crave and supporting ‘Make in Vietnam’ products, especially Smartphones,” said Bphone CEO Nguyen Tu Quang. Without VinSmart, the market would only be Bphone, a Vietnamese brand capable of launching new smartphones. However, Bkav’s latest product has been delayed for nearly a year. Besides, Bphone’s market share competitiveness is still not really convincing when sales figures have not been announced.

“I’m really surprised! VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They still have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian countries. Asia, Africa, with cheaper usage,” said Neil Mawston, global head of telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics. Zing . VinSmart’s smartphone production may be hampered by a global chip shortage. When asked if a reason for the decision could be found, Mr. Mawston suggested that the global chip crisis could be a factor. Not just a single name, this crisis is making many smartphone manufacturers difficult. Many firms face difficulties in the global crisis hoảng “In terms of sales volume, VinSmart is still a small smartphone company in terms of scale. I think small firms are suffering the most because of the chip shortage crisis,” said Anshel Sag, an analyst at the company. Moor Insights & Strategy shared with Zing. The crisis of the semiconductor industry began with the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic. At that time, manufacturers thought that user demand would also decrease. However, the truth is the opposite. Due to long-term stay at home, people buy more technology. They buy more powerful computers, bigger screens to work from home. Children can buy new laptops to study at home. TVs, game consoles, and home appliances all increased sales. Chip companies like TSMC are working at more than 100% capacity to reduce the impact of the chip industry crisis. Photo: Reuters. The pandemic has turned into a month-long shopping festival. Therefore, the demand for chips also increased sharply. In the world, there are only a few outsourcing companies possessing modern technology to provide chips for smartphones. When every industry wants to increase production, the supply cannot meet. “Small firms are at a disadvantage because their scale is not large enough, leading to very thin profit margins. In the smartphone industry, scale is very important. It takes a lot of smartphones to be able to negotiate flexible prices. good conditions,” said Mr. Sag when asked about the difficulties of small smartphone manufacturers. In the first quarter financial report published at the end of April, Apple CEO Tim Cook also warned about chip shortages. The head of Apple said that it was not the demand that fell, but the lack of chip supply was the company’s biggest concern in the second quarter. Apple CEO also acknowledged that the company may face difficulties in the near future because of chip shortages. Photo: Cnet. “We think there will be a problem with supply. The chip shortage will mainly affect iPads and Macs. We also control our demand fairly well, but cannot comment on demand from vendors. different,” the Apple CEO told investors. Haven’t found a solution yet Currently, the smartphone market is only a game of a few big companies. One-time names like Sony accepted to downsize, selling only 400,000 units in the first quarter as they tried to keep the Xperia brand for a while. The chip crisis will make it even more difficult for small-scale smartphone companies in the near future. VinSmart has entered the top 3 brands in Vietnam, and the top 20 in Asia by the end of 2020. They also have many opportunities in the near future when 5G networks are more popular in Asian and African countries, with fees. cheaper to use. – Neil Mawston, Global Head of Telecommunications at research firm Strategy Analytics “When producing on a small scale, these companies will be the first affected by the lack of supply, increasing prices. It should also be remembered that suppliers still prioritize serving large, most important customers. theirs,” commented Mr. Anshel Sag. According to Neil Mawston, in addition to the main processor, another component, the screen, also increased in price by about 15%. This is also a consequence of the chip crisis, because every screen on a smartphone must have a control chip. “The pandemic, social distancing, and competition for supplies with other products such as tablets, laptops and electric vehicles have put the smartphone component supply chain in the most stressful state in years.” Mr. Neil Mawston shared. In a recent interview, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said that the chip shortage could last until the end of 2021. Therefore, difficulties are still ahead for many companies producing technology products. Cars are the manufacturing sector hardest hit by chip shortages. Technology manufacturers may also be affected in the near future. Photo: Automotive News. When asked more about VinSmart, Mr. Neil Mawston said that he was surprised because Vsmart smartphones have a certain market share in the domestic market. This analyst believes that this is one of the big advantages to be able to expand into the regional market. “Every major smartphone maker uses the domestic market as a platform to go regional or global. Apple’s iPhone was successful in the US and then expanded to other countries. The story is similar to Huawei in China. Korea, and Samsung in Korea. VinSmart is also open to growth in Southeast Asia. Therefore, we find it difficult to understand when they decide to stop producing smartphones, especially when the opportunity for 5G is very close, “Mr. Mawston said.

VinSmart stops producing phones and televisions On May 9, Vingroup officially announced that VinSmart would stop producing TVs and smartphones to focus resources on developing IoT products and Infotainment features for VinFast cars. Sharing the main reason why VinSmart made such a decision, Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice President and General Director of Vingroup said: “The production of smart phones or smart TVs has no longer brought breakthrough possibilities, Meanwhile, the development of smart cars, smart homes, smart cities brings many benefits and outstanding experiences. force for this spike “. VinSmart factories will continue to produce existing phones and TVs until the end of the product’s life cycle to supply the market. Then part of the factory will be used to outsource to partners, while the rest is expanded to adjust to produce new products. With products sold to the market, VinSmart said it will maintain the warranty and customer care as committed. Vsmart phones sold to the market are still upgraded and updated with software. After stopping production of smartphones, TVs, VinSmart will focus on developing information – entertainment – service (Infotainment) features; research, design and manufacture of electronic components, battery cell systems, complete electric batteries, electric motors for VinFast cars. At the same time, VinSmart still retains research on smart cities, smart homes and IoT devices. VinSmart’s smart home solution appeared at a major urban exhibition late last year and has been operated in two major urban areas, Vinhomes Smart City and Vinhomes Ocean Park. VinSmart retains its research on smart cities, smart homes and IoT devices. Its most prominent smartphone products are Vsmart Joy 3, Vsmart Live 4, phone with front camera hidden under the Vsmart Aris Pro screen. In the TV segment, VinSmart has two main lines of 4K resolution: high-end KE and mid-range KD, with sizes from 43 to 55 inches, priced from VND8.7 million.

Established in June 2018, VinSmart is one of the two main companies operating in the Vingroup’s manufacturing division, along with car and electric car manufacturer VinFast. This manufacturing company owns a telephone and electronic equipment factory with an annual design capacity of up to 125 million devices. VinSmart smart electronics factory in Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park. Photo: Vingroup In Hoa Lac Hi-Tech Park (Hanoi), the complex factory of VinSmart has a total area of ​​up to 15ha, of which, construction area of ​​phase 1 is only 4.8 ha. At the factory in the first phase inaugurated in November 2019, the production area reached 4.5 hectares, including the electronic circuit board manufacturing subdivisions, phone manufacturing and independent research institutes. designed capacity of 26 million devices / year. Half a year after its inception, the company launched its first four smartphone lines. After two and a half years, the total number of VinSmart phone models has increased to 18 lines, of which the first product appeared in the high-end segment, and successfully produced terminals supporting 5G technology. . In 2020 alone, VinSmart said it sold 1.95 million smart phones to the market, an increase of 225% compared to 2019 sales (600,000 units). With record high phone sales, VinSmart also became the 3rd largest smartphone supplier in the domestic market with 12.7% market share. This is the first time a Vietnamese phone brand is in the top manufacturers and consumers in the market. As of early 2021, VinSmart’s distribution network of mobile phones has expanded with 10,000 retail agents, 4 customer care centers and 101 warranty points. Notably, not only consuming phones in the country, last year, VinSmart also recognized for the first time revenue from processing and manufacturing original equipment for foreign partners. VinSmart said that last year it signed a contract and started exporting smartphones to US carriers and foreign customers, with a production of 1.3 million units. In addition, the manufacturer also expanded its product portfolio to other electronic devices such as electronic components, air purifiers … In 2020, VinSmart also became a partner in manufacturing air blower components. supplied to Medtronic PLC’s series of ventilators, exported to USA and Ireland. Not only that, VinSmart is also in charge of building technology ecosystems for its real estate projects with three core products including Smart city (smart city), Smart home (smart home) and Smart. services (number services).

According to the new decision, VinSmart will stop the development of televisions and mobile phones, and switch to the development of smart features on vehicles and houses. Before this unexpected information, the public’s opinion was a lot of turmoil. Especially for those who regularly support Vietnamese goods, this is quite sad news. PT readers shared: “Vin has too many embraces. It’s the brightest hour in the car segment, so I hit hard. Unfortunately, Vsmart is okay but cheap. ” Many people feel sad when they lose a low-cost phone company created by Vietnam. In another aspect, many people think that this is the right decision because the current smartphone and television market is saturated, with very little space for development and competition. In addition, Chinese phone companies are also increasingly appearing in the Vietnamese market, making competitiveness in the industry on the rise. The public also commented that, because the business is right there, when Vingroup could not acquire LG, R & D was weak, at this point, the exit strategy is a good strategy. Everything is two-way, when there are many people expressing quite negative emotions to receive this information, there is a part of the public still acknowledging and appreciating what Vsmart has done for the time. by. For example, readers NM from Hanoi shared that: “Vsmart’s mission is like that, it is already complete. I do not know how sales, profit or loss, but thanks to Vsmart, the Vin brand has also reached all classes of users in the country, as a springboard for Vinfast to be born. Information about the warranty of VinSmart phones. In particular, many people have the same question: “Are Vinsmart buyers still under warranty?” Answering this question, Vingroup said that, regarding the products sold to the market, VinSmart commits to maintain the warranty, repair, and care as committed until the date that the customer no longer uses it. more products. In particular, a part of the phone software design department continues to research to upgrade and update Vsmart phones that have been sold to the market. “

VinSmart will play television and mobile phones Vingroup said VinSmart will focus its resources on developing electronic products and “Infotainment” features for VinFast cars. This is a strategic step to bring VinFast towards its goal of becoming one of the smartest and most convenient electric car manufacturers in the world. According to the new decision, VinSmart will stop the development of televisions and mobile phones, and switch to the development of smart features on vehicles and houses. In which, the focus is on developing information – entertainment – service (Infotainment) features for VinFast cars. With nearly 150 Infotainment features coming soon, VinFast cars will bring different utilities, creating a competitive advantage in the global auto market. In addition, VinSmart focuses on research, design and production of electronic components, electric battery cells, complete electric battery systems and electric motors of all kinds, in order to increase the localization rate. and ensure a high quality supply of VinFast. VinSmart will also continue to promote current research on Smart Cities – Smart Houses and related IoT devices to bring superior living experiences to users. To put all of their energy into a new direction, VinSmart factories will continue to produce existing phones and televisions until the end of the product’s life cycle to supply the market. Then part of the factory will be used to outsource to partners, while the rest is expanded to adjust to produce new products. Regarding products sold to the market, VinSmart commits to maintain the warranty, repair and care as committed until the day when customers no longer use the product. In particular, a part of the phone software design department continues to research to upgrade and update Vsmart phones that have been sold to the market. On May 6, Vingroup announced that it would gather vehicle development forces from overseas VinFast research institutes to its headquarters in Vietnam to ensure the research and development progress and class for new models. Previously, the Group also withdrew from retail, agriculture and aviation to focus on the core priority of cars.

“The production of smart phones or smart TVs has ceased to make a breakthrough and make a difference for users. Meanwhile, the development of smart cars, smart homes, smart cities bring to many outstanding benefits and experiences. Therefore, we are determined to put all resources into this spearhead “, Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman and General Director of Vingroup, said. Nearly 3 years in the smartphone market, reaping many successes, Vingroup decided to stop this segment to focus more on VinFast. However, VinSmart factories will continue to produce existing phones and TVs until the end of the product’s life cycle to supply the market. Part of the factory will then be used to outsource to partners, with the rest expanded to make new products. VinSmart will also maintain the warranty and customer care as committed with the products sold to the market. Vsmart phones sold to the market are still upgraded and updated with software.

VinSmart was born in June 2018, starting with the production of smartphones with the Vsmart brand. Nearly 3 years of development, Vsmart introduced to the market 19 phone models and 5 TV models.

VinSmart decided to stop producing phones and televisions to focus on VinFast car production. VinSmart Research and Production Joint Stock Company (VinSmart) will turn to developing smart features on vehicles and houses. In which, the focus is on developing information – entertainment – service (infotainment) features for VinFast cars. With nearly 150 infotainment features coming soon, VinFast cars will bring different conveniences, creating a competitive advantage in the global auto market.

The love affair of Huawei and Leica helps redefine mobile photography Not long ago, OnePlus announced a strategic partnership with popular camera brand Hasselblad and launched the latest 5G mobile phones, OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro. In its debut in the smartphone segment, the Swedish camera maker focused on improving “color science” in both phones. In addition, OnePlus and Hasselblad will continue to maintain extensive cooperation to jointly explore more possibilities in the field of imaging and promote the healthy and stable development of mobile imaging. In fact, in the mobile phone industry, the collaborations between cell phone manufacturers and camera manufacturers have been around for a long time, such as Huawei and Leica, Vivo and Zeiss. Huawei joined hands with Leica to develop smartphone camera technology. Since 2014, Huawei has achieved strategic cooperation with Leica. In 2016, the two sides cooperated to launch the Huawei P9 series, since then the P series and the Mate series have both the silhouette of Leica, and the photos taken by Huawei’s “pet” show a “style. German photo “has captured the hearts of young people. At the same time, Huawei’s pioneered Moon Mode capture of the Moon clearly became a standard in the field of imaging. Undoubtedly, the predestined relationship between Huawei and Leica has added a lot of color to Huawei in the mobile imaging field and helped it not only have a strong foothold in the premium market, but also succeed in getting into first place on the level of visual prowess. Even when consumers talk about Huawei, subconsciously feel that its ability to take pictures on mobile phones is very strong. Vivo and ZEISS collaborate to elevate smartphone photography. After the combination of Vivo and Zeiss, its visual prowess is much better than before. The vivo X60 Pro launched earlier this year, for example, was highlighted by its cutting edge imaging capabilities in a groundbreaking photography system co-produced by vivo and ZEISS. With the innovative Gimbal Image Stabilization System in “Super Resolution” (Pixel Shift Ultra HD) technology, the X60 Pro’s camera system adds the ability to enhance image detail and sharpness. The X60 Pro also uses VIS 5-axis anti-shake technology, allowing users to obtain clear images of moving objects with greater accuracy. The Zeiss-Vivo imaging system includes a wide variety of optical lenses such as ultra wide-angle, professional portraits, and super telephoto. With its unique Zeiss T * anti-reflective coating and Zeiss portrait style, it can effectively tackle image noise and flare when photographing under complex lighting. The impressive hardware parameters combined with the famous ZEISS brand are a claim to the X60 Pro’s camera quality that fully meets the standards of professional camera lenses. Not stopping there, vivo and Zeiss jointly established the “Vivo ZEISS Imaging Laboratory”, a joint R&D (research and development) program focused on developing innovative solutions for technology. mobile image. Certainly, whether it is a collaboration between Huawei and Leica, or a combination of vivo and Zeiss, both brands have significantly improved the visibility and imaging capabilities of the mobile phone. period brings the ordinary consumer a better photography experience. In fact, Leica and Zeiss, both working with Huawei and vivo, are centuries-old brands in the optics sector and possess very solid technical backgrounds. For example, Leica has been focusing on the camera field for many years, its cameras are sturdy, durable and perform well and are a top choice for military cameras. During World War II, Leica cameras became an important tool for military reporters at that time. To this day, Leica maintains a leading position in the industry. Unlike Leica, which focuses on camera research and development, Zeiss has a wider range. For example, the vast majority of electronics and semiconductor chips in the world are manufactured using the Zeiss microchip lens. In addition, Zeiss promotes medical advancement by providing optical products and solutions for ophthalmology, neurosurgery, ENT, dentistry and cancer, and assisting these doctors. Around the world improve the quality of life of our patients. Seeing the world, hardly a second company had as strong all-round power as Zeiss. With more than 170 years of research and development, ZEISS is no longer a strange name for photographers. According to Sina, in this angle, although the cooperation between vivo and Zeiss is a few years later than Huawei and Leica, but if it comes to the development potential, perhaps Vivo is even better. Vivo not only has the strong support of Zeiss, the German optical master, but also has a long history of exploration in mobile photography than other cell phone manufacturers, and has significant influence in this regard. In fact, for many years, Vivo regularly publishes research on different users’ needs. Up to now, this smartphone brand has also established many photography Research and Development (R&D) centers around the world with more than 700 employees in the industry. It is the efforts in innovation and R&D that help Vivo to be more “sensitive” to the changing market. The company points out that one of the dramatic changes in the future is the wave of innovation and revolution. mobile photography – what Vivo sees as key to long-term user needs. Vivo invests heavily in mobile imaging. Last year, Vivo also designated video as one of the core lengths of the company’s growth over the next 10 years and made it clear that there would be “no upper limit” for investment in R&D in the sector. this. Considering the current development trend of the industry, the competition on the mobile image race will be fiercer. On the other hand, 2021 is the time when 5G will accelerate in popularity. Taking photos and recording short videos has become the hot spot that the public is now pursuing. Therefore, mobile imaging is definitely the area of ​​focus for the major cell phone manufacturers. On the other hand, as Huawei, Vivo, and OnePlus are looking for long-standing camera manufacturers to hone and explore together in the field of imaging, other mobile phone makers, such as OPPO and Xiaomi. , will definitely try their best to increase their competitiveness in camera photography. The battle of images on mobile devices is increasingly fierce. Who will be the final winner? Time will give us the answer.

So while releasing AirTag, Apple also confirmed The official version of iOS 14.5 is scheduled to be released next week. Many fans are looking forward to it, after all, they can use Apple’s new hardware. In fact, in addition to adding support for AirTag, iOS 14.5 will also bring three new features to make up for the defects of the current version. Specifically, iOS 14.5 will be the last major upgrade of the iOS 14 system released last year, which includes Support for wearing masks to unlock iPhone, app tracking transparency and Apple Maps crowd data three important updates. The first is to wear a mask to unlock the iPhone. This function is expected by many netizens. After all, as epidemic prevention and control become normal today, it is inevitable to wear a mask. The iPhone full-screen phone can only be unlocked with Face ID or password, which is extremely inconvenient. In this regard, many netizens suggested that Apple can add screen fingerprints to the iPhone 12, but Apple did not do so. It still only supports Face ID to unlock and password unlock, and it is not what fans wanted. It may be that there are too many users who complain about it. Apple finally plans to solve this problem. The main thing is Using Apple Watch and iPhone to communicate, you only need to bring the two parties close to unlock the iPhone. At that time, iPhone users do not need to enter a password to unlock the mask while wearing a mask. They only need to bring the Apple Watch close to the iPhone to unlock it perfectly, but the premise is that the user must have an Apple Watch. The second is application tracking transparency. The addition of this feature will further enhance the security of iOS and effectively protect the privacy of users’ data. If developers want to track user data, they must obtain user consent. In fact, the purity of Apple’s system is also one of the key reasons why many consumers are willing to use it. Application developers cannot freely obtain users’ private data. Therefore, it is difficult for some ads to be placed on Apple phones after studying users’ private data. see. Finally, Apple Maps population data, this function can be a good way for users Shows the flow of people in the relevant place during the relevant time period, and can also predict the peak of the flow of people in the relevant place in a certain period of time. The introduction of this function can avoid the high flow of people in the current epidemic. It can be seen that it is also a small function of epidemic prevention measures. In terms of user safety, Apple has indeed done enough attention. In addition, iOS 14.5 will bring many small upgrades, including New battery health reporting system You can wait for the official push for specific situations. From these key points, it can be seen that this time iOS 14.5 has indeed ushered in a great upgrade. Before iOS 15 is officially released, I believe that iOS 14.5 can also bring a better user experience to users!

According to the plan, LG will complete this production conversion this year while reassigning affected workers. LG’s factory in Hai Phong. LG Vietnam President Jung Hai-jin affirmed that the cessation of smartphone production in Vietnam is part of LG’s plan to restructure its basic product portfolio, and affirmed that this plan will not significantly including production and sales activities as well as LG employees in Hai Phong. In 2015, LG opened the production line in Hai Phong. The factory currently has more than 16,000 workers and mainly produces home appliances, smartphones and car infotainment products. In addition, leaders of LG Vietnam also leave open the possibility of additional investment in this factory in the near future. In addition, a representative of LG Vietnam also denied the information that LG offered to sell a smartphone factory in Hai Phong for more than 2,000 billion VND. “It is true that we stopped making smartphones, but this is only one line in the factory. We also produce other products such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners … ”, emphasized LG Vietnam representative. according to Yonhap

Lenovo’s Legion 2 Pro lineup is also known as Savior 2 Pro, a literal “savior” phone for this smartphone maker. Attracting attention thanks to its unique design with 2 6-sided curved glass, Iori key, 2 fans on the back and the camera “indent”, Legion 2 Pro aims to the gaming experience of users. However, shortly after the first product press conference on April 8, a number of videos of the Legion 2 Pro experience published to test the durability of this gaming smartphone brought a feeling of disappointment for many. people. Not only is the design too fragile, easy to fold when there is strong impact force, can be broken with your bare hands, the fingerprint module under the screen of the Legion 2 Pro is also considered to be quite unusual. In addition, the phone screen is also easy to scratch with only level 6 Mohs (hardness), making public concerns about the durability of the product. Business by “thinking” Lenovo has been passively following the trends of the consumer market and has been a bit immature in this area for a long time.

Even the acquisition of Motolora did not help Lenovo enter the high-end phone market, making the R&D process constantly restructuring and the brand’s market promotion so far is one of the challenges. not small. From a mobile phone perspective, Lenovo’s pace of innovation on the human side is not keeping up with the pace of market development. Finding a foothold will not be able to exit if Lenovo continues to maintain the old “growth concept” and business mindset as before. Of course, a recent move aimed at customers in the mid-range segment, to compete with some other phone models with lower prices may be a reasonable choice at this time. But even with the “savior” phone model, the Legion 2 Pro, there are still disadvantages as mentioned, it is not clear whether this product can satisfy the tastes of the user or not. exit for Lenovo thanks to the smartphone gaming business is still too difficult to answer …
