Smartphone income go 1bn in 2013 as China booms

Smartphone income go 1bn in 2013 as China booms The smartphone industry passed a key milestone in 2013, with 1bn devices sold over the year, according to the analysis corporation IDC - along with other exploration corporations gave pretty much identical figures.
Chinese vendors created substantial inroads. Samsung and Apple topped the figures with 31.3% and fifteen.3% of fourth-quarter shipments, with Korean company LG third with four.8%. Huawei, Lenovo and ZTE ended up key gamers, getting nearly 15% of smartphone profits collectively.
More commonly, smartphones are having into the full mobile China Smartphone sector, which totalled one.82bn handsets in 2013, up just four.8% from one.74bn in 2012, mentioned IDC. Which means that smartphones manufactured up 55% of all mobile cellphone income within the year.
With advancement accelerating, from the fourth quarter smartphones designed up fifty eight.2% in the 488.4m cell product sales, the exploration business stated.
But the rapid expansion of smartphones to marketplaces the place featurephones have held sway has also designed a massive sector for the lower end, although observing saturation within the high quality stop where by Apple specifically dominates. Its year-on-year cell phone revenue growth in 2013 was just 12.9%, as compared to smartphone income progress for that yr of 38.4%.
The figures suggest that Apple is increasing its share with the smartphone marketplace from the context of full mobile phone profits that grew by four.8%. That may be on the expenditure of featurephone makers - notably Nokia, which noticed put together shipments of smartphones and featurephones for 2013 plummet by 25.2% from 335.6m to 251.0m.
Nokia's mobile mobile phone division is remaining offered to Microsoft, that's trying to develop a smartphone system to contend with Google's Android and Apple's apple iphone.

Android PCs and also other Windows-alternative desktops are for authentic

For many years, decades, you could possibly set all of other desktops ?a Linux, Mac, whichever ?a alongside one another and Home windows would continue to conquer them by 10 to one. That was then. This really is now.
Today, Windows 8.x's remains to be stalled out in the market, Chromebooks product sales have arrive from nowhere to take a bite outside of the low-end laptop computer industry, and afterwards there is certainly Android.
You know Android as the number one smartphone and cheap wholesale tablets functioning system. 4 big-name providers consider Android has what it requires being a top rated desktop operating procedure at the same time. Individuals organizations include Lenovo and HP , the world's number 1 and range two PC makers. Two other providers chances are you'll have heard about, AMD and Intel, also see Android to the PC. And, lest we forget, there's this minor business enterprise named Google backing up Android.
Think about that: 5 in the world's prime tech companies assume people today want Android on their own desktops. Four of them accustomed to be counted among Microsoft's staunchest allies. Do you really assume they'd be pushing Android on cheap tablet pcs if they did not assume there was a market place there? I don't.
Why? Nicely, moreover Home windows 8.x's failure to gain market-share, Android has a lot and lots of apps. Even Mac OS X, the one particular true thorn in Windows' side above the decades, has only a portion on the apps that Android delivers to your desk.
In addition, the rise of software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps has made the particular operating procedure operating over a desktop fewer relevant. If a desktop can run a web browser, it might run lots of top rated enterprise systems which include Microsoft's very own Office environment 365, Salesforce.com's Purchaser Romance Administration (CRM) applications, SAP's Business Source Setting up, etcetera., etcetera. This is certainly exactly why Chromebooks, the Chrome Web browser along with a thin-layer of Linux, have gained in attractiveness.
Specifically, I see residence customers and SMBs adopting Android PCs somewhat rapidly. Enterprises will move a lot more little by little. Over the other hand, XP's stop of help is coming soon. Even at this late day lots of businesses have not resolved where by they are going to go. The bulk will, I am positive, choose Home windows seven, but I feel a substantial minority, say ten p.c, will chose in 2014 to go together with Android PCs, Chromebooks, or tablets.
So wherever can we go from right here? By 2016, I feel Windows will nevertheless be the top pet. That mounted foundation is not likely absent anytime shortly.
Unfortunately for Microsoft, the range two functioning process, using a double-digit current market share, is going to be Android/Chrome OS. By then I do think Google can have merged them. Regardless of whether Google hasn't, amongst the two platforms, they're going to nonetheless have surpassed Mac OS as the next area desktop operating system by a wide margin.
If Google keeps them split, I see Chrome OS as amount two. Anyone can use it and as an increasing number of line-of-business application will become Web-based SaaS, businesses will see Chromebook's minimal rate and price of maintenance irresistible.
In the meantime, Android is going to become well known with residence and SOHO consumers. It is heading to empower all those users who love Android on their tablets and smartphones to enjoy the exact applications on their own desktops.

Huawei’s ‘phablet’ takes off globally, doesn’t seem so crazy after all

China’s emergence as a global tech player is a continuing trend in consumer electronics, and the rise of China’s Huawei is a prime example.
The company wants to be a global brand in tech products and will continue to expand its presence in the U.S. market, Colin Giles, executive vice president at Huawei, told VentureBeat.
Last year, the company showed off a “phablet,” or phone-tablet that was widely ridiculed in the West. But it took off in Asian markets. And this year it was back with a new model that it will push in the U.S.
Huawei’s goal to become a global brand is not a crazy ambition. In 2012, it sold 32 million smartphones. In 2013, it sold 52 million. In 2014, it wants to sell 80 million.
“The average growth of our brand awareness in 30 countries was 100 percent, based on our surveys,” Giles said. “The U.S. is a very important market as a leader of trends. It will be an important market for our company as a trendsetter. But if you look for the growth, you have to look at Asia too.”
China’s presence was certainly huge at the 2014 International CES, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas, where I interviewed Giles. Steve Koenig, senior analyst for the Consumer Electronics Association, said at the show that China has finally eclipsed North America as the largest consumer electronics market in 2013. In smartphones, China has been the largest market for some time.
But North American tech sales are expected to be $257 billion in 2013, once the counting is finished. China’s region is expected to hit $282 billion. Emerging markets are now 50 percent of global tech sales, compared to 40 percent not long ago, Koenig said.
There are 160 cities in China that have more than 1 million people, compared to just nine in the U.S. China’s gross domestic product (GDP), expected to hit 7.4 percent in 2014, is also rising faster than North America’s.
The size of China and its reach was a lot more evident at CES this year than in the past. China’s HiSense occupied some prime convention space in the old Microsoft booth. It reminded me of the days when the Japanese consumer electronics giants dominated, and South Korea’s Samsung was a small upstart on the show floor.
Giles, a former Nokia executive, has spent about 20 years in China, and he joined Huawei six months ago because he believes now is a great time for Chinese companies and the quality of their products.
“Around the world, you’re seeing an acceptance of Asian brands,” Giles said. “Building the brand is important in every market, the U.S. as well as overseas. Being a Chinese company brings its unique set of challenges, and its set of opportunities too.”
Of the many cheap China smartphones and tablets that the company showed off at CES, the one that Huawei will push in the U.S. heavily is the Ascend Mate II, a “phablet,” or phone-tablet hybrid, with a 6.1-inch screen.
Last year, such phablets were so new that folks made fun of them as giant phones. But phablets have taken off in Asia. In fact, on Wednesday, Hewlett-Packard announced that it would launch an Android-based phablet in India.

Lenovo Unveils ThinkPad 8 Tablet

Lenovo has jumped into the CES fracus with an expected array of new ThinkPad notebooks and Yoga convertibles, but the Chinese firm has also thrown a new bone to the tablet world. It's announced the ThinkPad 8, an 8-inch Windows 8.1 slate aimed primarily at the business class.
Lenovo ThinkPad 8 More specifically, the ThinkPad 8 is going to sport an 8.3-inch, 1920 x 1200 resolution display -- one of the highest yet for a Windows 8 slate of this size -- a quad-core 2.4GHz Intel Atom chip, 2GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of storage. A 8-megapixel camera will be included on the back of the slate's black aluminum chassis, as are separate microSD, microUSB, and microHDMI ports.
The whole thing will weigh 0.92 pounds and measure in at 8.8mm thick, and Lenovo says it'll get 8 hours of battery life. An optional 'QuickShot Cover' can magnetically attach to the tablet, and Lenovo's added in a neat little trick that lets users quickly peel it back to access the main camera too.
Everyone from Toshiba to Acer to Dell have released 8-inch Windows Cheap Tablet PC over the last several months, but most of those devices have focused more on being affordable than being particularly powerful. The stylus support of last year's ThinkPad Tablet 2 is gone from Lenovo's upcoming version, but with its sexier design and comparatively impressive spec sheet, the ThinkPad 8 looks like it's striking a higher-end balance between quality and price.
The 32GB model will start at $400 when it launches later this month -- putting it in direct competition with the Apple iPad mini Retina -- though pricier configurations with more storage and 4G LTE connectivity will be out as well.
Lenovo is showing off the ThinkPad 8 at CES this week, so we'll be sure to add some impressions once we get our hands on the device.
In addition to this tablet, Lenova also unveiled the MIIX 2, a 2-in-1 laptop, as well as the Yoga 2 convertible.

Meizu MX3 leaked images surface with talk of specs

The Meizu MX2 went on sale for those in China last year. That model was a follow-up to the MX1 and keeping with the apparent naming tradition, it looks like details and images of the Meizu MX3 have surfaced. This isn’t the first time talk of the MX3 has surfaced, however this is the first time we are seeing clear crisp images of the front and back.

Looking back to one of the earlier Meizu MX3 rumors and there was talk of the handset having an LED illuminated home button. Rumors have suggested this will be on the handset, and also that it will not be on the handset. As you can see from the image sitting above, there is indeed an illuminated home button showing.
This round of images also has the device measurements. In this case the width is 70.94mm, the height is 139.96mm and the thickness is 8mm. Those would translate to 2.79 x 5.51 x 0.31-inches. Other still unconfirmed specs for the MX3 include a 5.1-inch Full HD display and Samsung Exynos 5 Octa processor.
The handset is also expected to have 2GB of RAM along with a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera and internal storage options ranging from 32GB, to 64GB and topping out at 128GB. Finally, the handset is said to be running Flyme 3.0, which is actually a skinned version of Jelly Bean.
All of that having been said, we now have the disappointing news. Despite the good looks and interesting specs for the Meizu MX3 — it is a handset that many will likely never get a change to see or play with in real life. Simply put, like the previous Meizu handsets, this one will likely only see a release in China. Plus we also have the bit about these details being a leak and therefor unconfirmed.
