US Chip Controls Reflect on Samsung's Q2 Results
Samsung warned investors that its Q2 performance fell below expectations.
At Mobile World Congress, Huawei unveiled 5G Foldable Phone, Mate X. The device features the Falcon Wing Mechanical Hinge, 7nm multi-mode modem chipset Balong 5000, a 4500mAh battery supporting the world’s fastest 55W SuperCharge and the brand new Interstellar Blue finish. When folded, the device is a huge display smartphone with a 6.6-inch screen, and when opened, it turns into a slim tablet with an 8-inch screen.
“The HUAWEI Mate X’s revolutionary form factor is achieved by Huawei’s relentless effort in R&D. It represents a voyage into the uncharted. As a new breed of smartphones, HUAWEI Mate X combines 5G, foldable screen, AI and an all-new mode of interfacing to provide consumers with an unprecedented user experience. The HUAWEI Mate X will be the first key for consumers to open the door to 5G smart living,“ said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei CBG.
The 2-in-1 smartphone and tablet Mate X features a high strength flexible OLED panel and a falcon wing mechanical hinge. The 6.6-inch dual display panel is a true FullView display. When unfolded, it transforms into an 8-inch tablet only 5.4mm thick. Images are displayed with great clarity and detail, and the panel itself is safe, durable and features high cooling performance. When unfolded, the screen is a flat surface, and when folded, the two halves of the screen fit snugly to the frame. The two modes transition seamlessly from one to another.
Mate X comes with an integrated Fingerprint Power Button that enables users to power up the device with one tap. Equipped with the world’s first 7nm 5G multi-mode modem chipset Balong 5000, the chipset has download speed at 4.6Gps on the Sub-6GHz band (theoretical). Balong 5000 is also the world’s first chipset to support both SA and NSA architectures, which means users will not need a device upgrade to continue enjoying 5G connectivity. Mate X’s dual SIM feature supports both 4G and 5G.
A new 4,500mAh battery is packed in a 5.4mm-thick body, combined with the AI smart power saving technology. 55W SuperCharge tops the battery up quickly to minimize downtime for those who prefer a fast-paced lifestyle. In just 30 minutes, SuperCharge is able to charge the battery back to 85 percent. At MWC 2019, Huawei launched a series of new products, including the an updated MateBook X Pro, new mainstream notebook PCs MateBook 13 and MateBook 14, as well as the 5G CPE Pro.
