Samsung has already crashed out of China. It’s also facing a decline in India , the world’s second largest smartphone market. Chinese smartphone vendors like Xiaomi and Huawei are easily the biggest reason for Samsung’s declining market share. Now, the company seems to have a new plan to revive growth and reclaim lost glory. A new Reuters report claims that Samsung is planning to outsource a large chunk of its smartphone manufacturing duties to a Chinese original device manufacturer (ODM). In a bid to cut costs and lower prices, Samsung is reportedly planning to outsource a fifth of its smartphone production to Wingtech. This means that Samsung will no longer be making those phones in-house and Wingtech will take up production as well as design duties. Wingtech also manufactures devices for the likes of Xiaomi and Huawei, the two companies Samsung plans to take on with this move. Citing sources, Reuters reports that Samsung plans to ship 60 million ODM-made smartphones next ye

Samsung’s 2019 flagships are all out of the door, and that means we can expect more leaks regarding its 2020 models. Now, it looks like an upcoming flagship — presumably the Samsung Galaxy S11 — could be a camera beast thanks to the latest Samsung Camera app teardown. XDA-Developers conducted a teardown of the Samsung Camera app in One UI 2.0 beta 4, and the two most prominent discoveries are references to 8K video recording and a 108MP camera. As the outlet notes, an 8K video requires a camera sensor with a resolution of just over 33MP. This means that the phone offering 8K video recording won’t have a 12MP main sensor — unless Samsung offers 8K recording via a secondary camera instead. Editor's Pick Losing India would be a disaster for Samsung Much has been made of the importance of India's smartphone market over the past few years. India is the second-largest country for smartphone adoption in the world, nestled between top place China and third place … Ne

Redmi The Redmi K30 is coming and we now have confirmation from Xiaomi that the phone will launch in 2020. Redmi General Manager Lu Weibing recently quashed previous rumors of a December launch for the K30 through a post on Chinese social media platform Weibo . Weibing’s post does not specifically talk about the K30 launch. Instead, it highlights China Mobile’s 4G hotspot tests where a number of Xiaomi phones were recognized for being the fastest. According to the Xiaomi executive, Redmi phones will strive for the highest quality in the early 5G era. He mentions the Redmi K30 series at the end of his post which, roughly translated, reads: “In 2020, Redmi is a 5G pioneer. See you at K30!” This is the first time Xiaomi has confirmed a launch timeline for the Redmi K30. What we know about the Redmi K30 so far We first heard murmurs about the Redmi K30 series back in August. At the time, Weibing had confirmed that the phone will feature 5G connectivity.
