Huawei wouldn't make low-end smartphones anymore

Gone are the days when Huawei was only known for manufacturing budget-friendly, low-end smartphones. The Chinese company now comes in the top three handset makers, only behind Samsung and Apple.

There are a number of Huawei phones that will put many flagship smartphones from other companies to shame. This is why the company has decided to leave the budget-friendly smartphone market. We say this based on a statement given by Huawei's CEO Richard Yu to Bloomberg. He has also explained the reason behind their decision. According to him, the company doesn't make enough profit from selling low-end phones. This means the business model is no longer sustainable. So instead of making entry-level smartphones, Huawei will focus more on the high-end market. They will make more premium products and will ship them to countries with a healthy economy. The target markets will be Japan, China and Europe. However, the company will need a solid strategy to penetrate the market of North America, especially the US. As you know, the US market is dominated by Samsung and Apple. Huawei's CEO has also said that the upcoming Huawei Mate 10 will give a tough competition to Apple's iPhone 8. The Huawei Mate 10 is confirmed to come with an almost bezel-less, full-screen display. Rumors have it, the display will be a 5.8-inch 2K one with the aspect ratio higher than that of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. Some reports also suggest that the fingerprint scanner will be placed below the display.

Samsung Level On Review

Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...

Apple iPhone 8 specifications may not have been finalized yet Initially, there were many reports suggesting the iPhone 8 launch would get delayed due to some manufacturing issue. Proving all the speculations wrong, last week Apple sent out invites for the launch event that is to take place on September 12.

The supplier says that the shipments of the 2017 iPhones started only from late August. He further added that its firms are yet to get exact details on t...

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions Proof: Facebook affects your mood More negative posts in the news feed can affect user emitions A Facebook News Feed packed with negative status updates from peers is more likely to spur individual users to follow suit, a news study carried out by the social network has shown. The company's experiment artificially tweaked the feeds of 689,003 users to show more downcast or more positive updates from their friends over the period of a week. The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a direct correlation between the emotions conveyed in the users' own posts over that period of time. While it's unsurprising that something sad or happy happening to a large number of close friends and acquaintances can affect our emotions, the study offers proof social media is affecting the mood of users, for better our worse.
