Four new smartphones with 2K screens are on the way. Two of them are Xiaomi
An insider, known on Twitter under the nickname Shadow Leak, systematized data on the upcoming new products of Chinese companies: not one or two, but four smartphones with 2K screens will soon enter the market. True, in one case it will be a special display.
Vivo will get a 2K screen for the top model Nex 5. It is expected that this will be a 7-inch AMOLED panel manufactured by Samsung’s latest generation E5 with a diagonal of 120 Hz. Oppo will answer this with its flagship sibling OnePlus 10 Pro called the Oppo Find X5 Pro. This model is assigned a Samsung AMOLED E4 panel with a diagonal of 6.7 inches with a frame rate of the same 120 Hz.
Two more smartphones with 2K screens will be released by Xiaomi. It will be Xiaomi 12 Ultra with a 6.73-inch Samsung AMOLED E5 120Hz display and Mix Fold 2 with an 8-inch flexible screen, apparently from some local Chinese manufacturer.
The premiere of all four models is expected before the end of the current quarter. Moreover, Vivo and Oppo new items should come out earlier, and then (in March) new Xiaomi flagships. However, there are other rumors regarding Xiaomi 12 Ultra: supposedly this model will be released only in the second half of the year.

There are more than 500 million users of Xiaomi smartphones in the world. The company joined Samsung and Apple

According to the analytical company Counterpoint Research, there are already more than 500 million smartphone users in the world of the Chinese company Xiaomi, which has joined the club where Samsung and Apple already belong.
Theoretically, Xiaomi’s large user base could further develop the company’s brand if products meet or exceed expectations. It may also give Xiaomi more opportunities to monetize traffic on its smartphones and allow the company to effectively sell IoT devices, headphones, smartwatches and other gadgets.
2021 was a very successful year for the company, with users actively buying smartphones. Xiaomi’s successful global expansion is particularly noticeable in India and Europe, where it became one of the top three OEMs in the first quarter of 2022. In India, the company leads the market with 23% of the market, and in China it is in fifth place.
The average revenue per user (ARPU) of Xiaomi in China is much higher than other regional markets, with ARPU for premium smartphones higher than for lower-end smartphones. This partly explains the strategic importance of the Chinese segment of the premium smartphone market, although demand seems weak at the moment. The additional profit and revenue from Chinese premium smartphone users could help Xiaomi further subsidize overseas sales channels, expand into new countries and launch global marketing campaigns.
According to Xiaomi, more than 80% of internet service revenue comes from China, with the main contributor being advertising.

The iPhone 15 could do what Jobs wanted to see in the very first iPhone. It’s about the lack of a SIM card slot.

According to numerous rumors, the iPhone 15 line of smartphones may be the first Apple models in which the company will abandon the slot for conventional SIM cards. That is, they will completely switch to eSIM. As it turned out, Apple wanted to abandon the SIM even in the very first iPhone.
According to former Apple CEO Tony Fadell, Steve Jobs wanted to release the first iPhone without a SIM card slot. Of course, then there was no talk of any eSIM in its modern form. It’s just that Jobs liked the concept of the iPhone without SIM cards, and it could be realized by switching completely to CDMA networks. However, Fadell dissuaded Jobs from this idea, showing statistics according to which, the distribution of CDMA left much to be desired. Later, Apple did release a CDMA-enabled iPhone for Verizon, but that was just a modification.
Now, more than 15 years later, Jobs’ original concept may be fully realized. True, eSIM does not work in all countries, so Apple will have to continue to release iPhones with SIM card slots.
