2021 Q3 global smartphone sales ranking announced: Apple ranked second

On November 26, Gartner statistics showed that the number of smartphones sold to end users worldwide in the third quarter of 2021 fell by 6.8% compared with the same period in 2020. The decline in sales was mainly due to the shortage of product components that disrupted production plans. As a result, mobile phone inventory is reduced and product supply is delayed.

According to the data, Samsung’s smartphone sales leader in the third quarter of 2021 is Samsung, with a market share of 20.2% in the quarter. Although it has declined compared with the same period last year, Samsung’s improved foldable smartphones performed strongly. Maintain an overall leading position in mobile phone sales. Followed by Apple and Xiaomi, Apple returned to the world’s top five smart phone manufacturers second, with a market share of 14.2% in the quarter, the market demand for Apple iPhone continued to remain strong; Xiaomi returned to the third, market share in the quarter Is 13%.

   In addition to Xiaomi, Chinese smartphone manufacturers vivo and OPPO also performed well, with market shares of 10.5% and 9.8% respectively in the quarter, up 2.4% and 1.7% year-on-year, and mobile phone sales ranked fourth and fifth.
In addition, Gartner’s senior research director said: “Despite strong consumer demand, smartphone sales have declined due to product launch delays, extended delivery times, and insufficient channel inventory. Various supply constraints imposes on the production of basic and practical smartphones. The impact of the plan is far greater than that of high-end smartphones.”

New Mac Pro exposed, built-in dual M1 Max top price over $50,000

At present, most products in the Mac product line have adopted Apple’s self-developed M1 chip, but the most powerful Mac Pro still uses Intel chips. According to media reports, Apple has planned to use self-developed chips on the new Mac Pro to further improve performance.

   It is reported that the new Mac Pro will use different configurations. The basic chip will consist of two M1 Max chips, while the high-end chip will consist of four M1 Max chips, and its price will exceed $50,000. Considering that the new MacBook Pro has given us great surprises in performance, I believe that the new Mac Pro will also provide us with a brand new experience.

   In addition, previous media reports said that thanks to the extremely high integration of the M1 chip, the new Mac Pro will also adopt a new design, its overall size is smaller, and it has a strong heat dissipation capacity. In addition, the new Mac Pro is still very rich in interface, enough to meet the needs of professional users.
At the 2020 WWDC conference, Apple announced that it will take two years to complete the transition from Intel chips to self-developed chips. There is still more than half a year before the “two-year period”. We announce the specific information of the new Mac Pro.CELL PHONE BATTERIES – Shop a wide selection of  cell phone Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping.

Breaking the news: Xiaomi 12 series may be released on the day of “Double Twelve”, with two first models

Earlier news broke that Xiaomi will hold a new product launch conference in December this year and officially launch the new Xiaomi 12 series mobile phones. According to the latest news, considering China’s Double Twelfth Shopping Festival and the number of Xiaomi Mi 12, the release time of the Mi 12 series is likely to be advanced to December 12.

   Considering that December 12 is a Sunday, from the perspective of product dissemination, the probability of Xiaomi 12 releasing a new phone on this day is not high. However, Xiaomi has not yet announced the specific release time of the Mi 12 series, so we also need to wait until the official release of more detailed information.

   broke the news that Xiaomi will release two Xiaomi 12 series mobile phones in December this year. Among them, Xiaomi Mi 12 debuted the Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip, using a 2K120Hz hyperboloid screen with a hole in the center, and a rear three-camera on the back. The other product is Mi 12X, which is equipped with the Snapdragon 870 mobile platform. This is likely to be a small-screen flagship phone with a 50-megapixel main camera on the back.
   There is still some time before the Xiaomi Mi 12 series conference. I believe that as time approaches, we can also get more official news.

If the iPhone14 Pro looks like this, would you accept it? Comes with secondary screen

From the iPhone11 series to the iPhone13 series released this year, apart from the change in the frame, it seems that there is not much change. I believe many netizens are looking forward to the fact that Apple can surprise us with the iPhone14 series.

   News on November 25, a set of hypothetical pictures of the so-called iPhone14 Pro circulated on the Internet. This group of imaginary pictures “brain open” even equipped the back of the iPhone14 Pro with a secondary screen to display information such as time. This may be something fruit fans can’t even think of. In the camera matrix part, the machine seems to use a four-camera system with an external flash.

   Of course, these are all imaginary pictures, and there are many similar imaginary pictures. Recently, some media have produced a set of relatively “conventional” renderings. This set of renderings shows that the iPhone14 Pro has two main changes. One is that it uses a hole-digging design on the front, and the other is that the camera matrix area boundary on the back has disappeared, making it more integrated. Apple may not adopt the first point of design, it is estimated that it will still use Liu Haiping, but the area may be smaller. As for the second point, Apple may consider this design.
   In addition, there has been news before that that Apple is considering replacing the USB-C interface for the iPhone 14 Pro. If the news is true, then this will be one of the biggest changes in the iPhone 14 Pro.CELL PHONE BATTERIES – Shop a wide selection of  cell phone Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping.

The iPhone 15 concept design is here. The biggest highlight is the side scroll wheel?

Among all technology companies, Apple’s confidentiality work can be said to be at the forefront. Even so, a large number of new iPhone news is spread on the Internet every year, which is also mixed with some conceptual drawings designed by folk designers. Recently, I found a set of conceptual design drawings of the iPhone 15 on the Internet. Looking at it carefully, I think the side buttons are the biggest bright spot?

  As shown in the picture, this conceptual version of the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 13 series use a retro right-angle frame design. The left frame retains the classic power button and up and down volume buttons, while the right frame adds a mysterious scroll wheel button. The specific use is not yet known. However, some netizens suspect that this button may be customized, such as adjusting the volume, sliding the page, and even zooming in and out the shooting screen.

   The designer is obviously not satisfied with the notch of the iPhone 13 series, so he redesigned a look for the concept version of iPhone 15. The upper and lower borders are changed to an arc shape, which can leave enough space for the front camera and other components. At the same time, the screen of the mobile phone can maintain the most complete rectangle. The picture parameters show that the concept version of iPhone 15 is divided into 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch versions, both of which support a high refresh rate of 144Hz.

“Black Friday” is approaching Huawei’s revitalization: all US Huawei phones enjoy 100% discount

According to news on November 23, Huawei’s US official Twitter recently announced that all Huawei mobile phones sold in the US can enjoy a 100% discount! However, Huawei USA later replied that it was just a joke, because the US “Black Friday” is coming, but Huawei cannot sell anything in the United States.

  Black Friday is a famous purchasing holiday in the United States. It usually arrives on the last Friday of November each year, when American malls will launch a large number of discounts and promotions. Since U.S. shopping malls generally record deficits with red pens and profits with black pens, merchants call it “Black Friday.”
   However, this holiday has nothing to do with Huawei, because Huawei cannot sell anything in the United States, including 5G equipment. Currently, the United States is dismantling Huawei equipment and destroying it on a physical level.
   But the good news is that Huawei’s mobile phone business may be revitalized in a few years. According to previous news, Huawei’s mobile phone business will return in 2023, and the Huawei Mate50 series will also arrive as scheduled. At present, Huawei has launched the second mobile phone business. Before the mass production of Huawei’s own 28nm and 14nm chip technology, it can provide support for Huawei’s mobile phone business.CELL PHONE BATTERIES – Shop a wide selection of  cell phone Batteries at www.oriccabattery.co.uk Fast Shipping.

Although Huawei’s mobile phone business has been suppressed, it has quietly climbed to the second place in this field.

Huawei’s newly launched mobile phones only have 4G versions, which limits Huawei’s mobile phone business to a certain extent. But Huawei is beginning to emerge in other areas.

   News on November 19, according to reports, in the world’s latest IO500 list published by SC21 International Supercomputing Conference, Huawei OceanStor Pacific storage (Huawei HPDA Lab) ranked second. It is reported that IO500 is one of the most authoritative world rankings for storage performance in the high-performance computing field.
   In this test, Huawei directly adopted a new generation of intelligent distributed storage OceanStor Pacific, which has been commercially available on a large scale worldwide, with capabilities such as multi-service mixed load and highly reliable data protection.
   In addition to the storage field, Huawei is also making progress in wearable devices and energy, and has achieved quite outstanding results. For example, in terms of wearable devices, Huawei’s cumulative global shipments of smart wearable devices have exceeded 80 million units, and the total number of global service users has reached 320 million.
   In fact, Huawei has repeatedly emphasized that it has not given up its mobile phone business. According to relevant media news, the Huawei Mate50 series will be released as scheduled early next year.
