Realme has touted a 64MP quad-camera smartphone for months now, and the company has held an event to give us a look at the tech.

But the Chinese brand has also confirmed that it’s embracing quad cameras across its product portfolio.

Realme announced that it’s bringing the tech to its mainline Realme phones, its Realme Pro devices, and the Realme X range.

More specifically, it confirmed on Twitter that the upcoming Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro will offer quad cameras, alongside the unnamed 64MP quad camera phone.

It sounds like you shouldn’t expect the entry-level Realme C family to offer quad rear cameras then.

But it’s understandable, given that even dual rear cameras are uncommon in low-end phones.

Chinese media, meanwhile, claims that Huawei plans on stuffing the OS in a phone due to launch later this year.

Anonymous sources told Global Times that the phones will be priced at around $288 for low and medium-end markets and will ship in their millions, along with the Huawei Mate 30 series, in the fourth quarter.

Then we'll do it Huawei – and roll our own mobile operating system

Huawei's UK PR was unable to provide any details on licensing or availability.

The OS, also known as Hongmeng, has been compared to Google's Fuchsia – which is also microkernel-based – and promises developers the ability to write once, run anywhere.

Speaking today at the Huawei Developer Conference in Songshan Lake, China, CEO Richard Yu spoke of a multi-device IDE, multi-language unified compilation, and a distributed architecture kit.

Ant Financial has hinted that its mutual aid platform could collaborate with insurance providers as user numbers continue to swell, Chinese media reported.

Why it matters: Mutual aid platforms like Ant’s Xianghubao started gaining traction in China last year, especially among those who have typically not been well-served by the country’s healthcare system.

They enable members to share treatment costs equally, and are often seen as more accessible and affordable than traditional products.

Other Chinese tech giants have also dipped their toes into mutual aid over the past year.

Tencent is a major investor in insurtech startup Waterdrop, which closed a RMB 1 billion ($142 million) funding round in June.

Xianghubao and other mutual aid platforms have faced regulatory scrutiny (in Chinese) from regulators for promoting their products as insurance products.

Hackers have attempted to steal information from Chinese government employees by faking email login pages for several high profile agencies and state-owned enterprises, cybersecurity researchers say.

Why it matters: The apparent espionage attempt may be linked to an advanced persistent threat (APT) group, an organization that accesses private information for a prolonged period while remaining undetected.

The offensive began as early as the second half of 2018.

The hackers targeted China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, state planner the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Commerce, among others.

“By stealing email credentials, and accessing internal email content, it would be possible to gain insight into what decisions are being made within the target organization and could lead to the theft of sensitive information.”

—Cybersecurity researchers said in a report published on Thursday

Tesla is offering a 50% discount on the “fully driverless” version of its Autopilot assistance system in China, part of efforts to boost its adoption in the country.

Why it matters: Increased use of full Autopilot in China will help Tesla to optimize its localized self-driving solution for the Chinese market, which is its second-largest globally after the US.

Tesla’s China software team currently sends data and feedback from local users to the US for processing, according to a media report.

It will finish work on a local research and development center in Beijing later this year to handle optimization efforts for the Chinese market in the future.

Tesla, which enjoys support from the Chinese government, released a picture of its Gigafactory 3 Shanghai on its social media account on Wednesday, saying it will go into operation by the year-end.

Details: Chinese Model S and Model X owners who bought the enhanced version of the Autopilot, can spend 50% less on replacing their system with the full self-driving package at RMB 27,800 (roughly $3,950).

According to Reuters, China will play hardball with India if the latter ultimately blocks Huawei.

The issue reportedly came about due to India’s upcoming 5G trials.

The country has not yet decided whether to invite Huawei to take part in the trials.

Vikram Misri, India’s ambassador to China, was then reportedly called to the Chinese foreign ministry in response to India’s lack of a decision.

During the meeting, Chinese officials reportedly talked with Misri about the U.S. trying to keep Huawei out of 5G infrastructure worldwide.

The officials also said there would be “reverse sanctions” on Indian firms doing business in China if India blocks Huawei due to pressure from the U.S.

Huawei has announced its first HarmonyOS-powered devices: a pair of smart TVs called the Honor Vision and Honor Vision Pro, which will go on sale in China next week, reports Gadgets360.

Announced yesterday, HarmonyOS is Huawei’s big attempt to decrease its reliance on Google’s Android operating system.

Since Google suspended Huawei’s Android license back in May, the company has been open about its plans to develop an alternative operating system, although it says that HarmonyOS has been in development for over two years.

Eventually, HarmonyOS will run on everything from wearables to PCs and tablets, but for now Huawei says its focus is on “smart screens” like this.

Although the company has indicated that the OS is ready to run on phones, it has said that it plans to continue using Android for its own smartphones for the time being.

In terms of hardware, the TVs include Huawei’s Honghu 818 chipset, an octa-core processor which will process the images seen on screen.

Huawei has officially announced HarmonyOS, the operating system it was rumored to be developing to replace its reliance on Android.

In China the software will be known as HongmengOS.

The company says the operating system can be used in everything from smartphones to smart speakers and internet-of-things devices like sensors.

There’s been a lot of speculation about Huawei’s in-house operating system ever since Google suspended the company’s Android license back in May, following the US government’s decision to put Huawei on the Entity List.

Huawei has made no secret of the fact that it’s been working on its own OS, but the extent to which it would be able to act as a substitute for Android is unclear.

HarmonyOS was created with four major building blocks in mind, ensuring a new generation OS that is best suited for our digital world today.

We already knew that Huawei has its own system and we have heard names like HongMeng OS, Ark OS, Oak OS, etc.

However, the company just announced its “Harmony OS”.

It can now be seen that this open-source platform is the final name for the popular HongMeng System.

After the relaxation of the US ban, many top officials of Huawei claimed that the HongMeng system is not for smartphones.

However, at the release conference, this system is for smartphones, smart speakers, computers, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, cars, and tablets.

Scientists at the University of Toronto have devised a new app that works in conjunction with a smartphone camera to show several statistics about the health of the person in the image.

The researchers have found that blood pressure can be measured by taking a quick video selfie.

The tech in the research was co-created by Kang Lee, a professor of applied psychology and human development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and Canada Research Chair in developmental nanoscience.

A postdoctoral researcher called Paul Zheng also helped develop the technology.

The tech is called transdermal optical imaging, and in the research, the team measures the blood pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by capturing a two-minute video of their face on an iPhone.

The results in the experiments were compared to standard devices used to measure blood pressure.

More than 364,000 people descended on Shanghai last week to attend the four-day ChinaJoy event, one of Asia’s largest annual digital entertainment and gaming expos.

Visitor numbers have grown eightfold since it started in 2004.

Despite the record-high visitor figures, ChinaJoy saw a fall in gaming companies on show at the convention this year.

The country’s gaming sector is still in recovery mode after a year-long freeze on new licenses that only ended earlier in 2019.

For a lot of ACG fans, however, ChinaJoy represents one of the few reasons to leave the house this summer.

One attendee dressed as Roadhog from Overwatch told TechNode reporters that he was here just to see check out what Blizzard, the game’s developer, was going to display.

Baidu is allocating $30 million for a joint company with Youzan, one of China’s largest third-party providers of in-app retail services, as the search giant looks to accelerate the development of its mini-program ecosystem.

Why it matters: Mini-programs, lightweight alternative to apps, are fast becoming a key channel for merchants to engage with users.

First introduced on Tencent’s WeChat, most of China’s tech players, including Alibaba and ByteDance, are aggressively exploring their potential.

The market for software-as-a-service (SaaS) vendors that help companies to set up and maintain mini-programs is also booming.

Monthly active users (MAU) of Baidu mini-programs hit 250 million in July this year, just one year after their introduction on its search app.

In comparison, WeChat mini-programs boasted 400 million MAU as of April last year.

Details: The title, which translates to “Palms That Can’t Be Reached,” was first released in Japan by Capcom in 2016 with the name “Imprisoned Palm.” Bilibili won the rights to distribute the game in China some time ago but had been unable to move forward due to a freeze on new game approvals in the country, GameLook reported.

The game allows users to interact with two male non-playable characters stuck behind glass panels, who are imprisoned on a desert island.

Even when “visitations” are over, players can snoop on the characters using surveillance cameras and communicate with them using in-game phones.

Although the title is priced at RMB 6 ($0.85) in Apple’s China App Store, users need to pay RMB 56 through in-game purchases to unlock the game’s most essential content.
