Moreover, this is a drop in annual terms, and in quarterly terms, the market completely collapsed by 48%! In total, 3.1 million devices were sold during the reporting period. For all of 2022, 12.9 million smartphones were sold, representing a growth of 62%. That is, even a very bad quarter did not affect the generally very successful year for this market.

Samsung continues to dominate unconditionally, occupying 83%, although a year earlier the Korean giant held all 96%. The most popular foldable smartphone in the fourth quarter was expectedly the Galaxy Z Flip4, which took 47% of the total market.

Huawei is in second place, and Oppo rounded out the top three.

Xiaomi is ready to mass produce a 300 watt smartphone charger

Xiaomi is ready to mass-produce 300W ultra-fast charging technology. With reference to the well-known insider Digital Chat Station, the Gizmochina resource says this.

Xiaomi is ready to mass-produce a 300-watt smartphone charger

In this case, it is not very clear what exactly is meant, since the technology itself cannot be put into production. We are talking either about the components, or directly about the memory itself. But in any case, this means that the corresponding smartphone is just around the corner.

It is not known which smartphone will be the first to receive a 300-watt charge, but the prototype of the technology was demonstrated by the Redmi brand, that is, apparently, it will not be Xiaomi’s flagship smartphone, but one of the Chinese giant’s sub-brand devices. Quite likely, this means that it will not be very expensive.

During the demo, we were told that the 4100 mAh battery would charge in just 5 minutes. True, this is a rather modest capacity for modern smartphones, but it is not a fact that a serial product will receive just such a battery.

At the moment, the fastest charger on the smartphone market is 240-watt from Realme.

Digital Chat Station was previously the first to accurately announce the specifications and release dates of Redmi K30, K40, Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 11.

Smartphones from Motorola, which is owned by Lenovo, will not be affected. Officially, the company has not yet made any statements, but it should be noted that Lenovo itself has never really boasted about the achievements of its smartphone business. In addition, a few years ago, Lenovo already left the smartphone market altogether, although it then returned.

This is how the Huawei P60 Pro shoots The phone

Bruce Lee, Head of Huawei’s mobile division, posted photos taken by colleagues in Malaysia on the camera of the latest Huawei P60 Pro on the Weibo social network.

Huawei P60 Pro has an unusual telephoto module – with a lens with a focal length of 90 mm, 200x hybrid zoom. But the most important thing is the record F / 2.1 aperture. For comparison, the aperture of the lens in the optical zoom module of the Honor Magic5 Ultimate is F / 3.0, while the Oppo Find X6 Pro is F / 2.6. The photo shows a lunar texture, and it is unlikely that it was generated by a neural network, like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
