Welcome to another week’s recap. The biggest story of the fourth week of 2021 was the unveiling of the Oppo A55 5G in China. Based on Dimensity 700 chipset, 6.5 inch HD + IPS LCD display and 5000mAh battery. It costs CNY 1,599 (around $ 245 / € 200) in China and we expect it to launch worldwide soon.
Xiaomi closed the week with something really amazing. Mi Air Charge technology promises to be able to wirelessly charge a phone from a distance of “several meters”. Provide up to 5W to multiple devices while you are using them, walking around, or even when there are objects in the way. Smartphones should be equipped with a ‘miniaturized antenna array with an integrated’ beacon antenna ‘and a’ receiving antenna array ‘. ” The smartphone has 14 antennas to convert a millimeter wave signal emitted by the charging battery. The signal is converted into electrical energy via a rectifier circuit.
Huawei is reportedly in talks to sell its P and Mate series to a Shanghai government-backed consortium. It comes after Huawei unloaded its Honor division. Huawei sold 50 million fewer phones in 2020 than in 2019.
Two phones have leaked this week, showing periscope cameras. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro featured a quad camera, including 10x optical zoom via a periscope lens. We expect the Mi 11 Pro to add a 6.81-inch 1440p 120Hz OLED with 480Hz touch sample rate and Snapdragon 888 chipset.
The other phone that leaked was the Sony Xperia 1 III, which appears to include some sort of periscope of its own. Otherwise, the Xperia 1 III appears to retain its flat, tall design and will likely go with an upgraded 6.5-inch 4K OLED panel up front.
These were the main stories of the week. The full list is below. See you next week!
