Insider # 5.02: applications for Huawei; ORRO stylus; AMD Ryzen processors; OPPO Reno3 Pro (Topic)

This collection of insider data will provide information on the activities of three large enterprises. First, let's talk about how Huawei plans to do without Google services in the near future. Then we will discuss the recent OPRO patent and the capabilities of the next generation of AMD Ryzen processors. At the end of the review, we will learn about the photo capabilities of the yet unannounced Reno3 Pro.

How Huawei wants to replace Google's apps

Huawei P40 and P40 Pro smartphones are due out soon. Until that time, the restrictions imposed by the US government on this Chinese manufacturer will definitely remain. The American partners will not cooperate with him yet. Therefore, new items will not receive Google applications.

Recently, an insider source from MobilTelefon announced that Huawei plans to pre-install about 70 popular Android applications in its future mobile devices. Allegedly, this process will begin with the P40 line.

No evidence has been provided for the above, so while experts are skeptical about such information.

It should be noted that there is a certain amount of common sense in such a strategy. Huawei will not be able to provide the ability to use Google Play, but its users will be able to download the APK of thousands of popular Android apps.

Therefore, the company's plan looks logical: you need to pre-install dozens of such programs on your smartphones so that the company's clients do not later download them on their own.

The downside to this move is the fact that most Android apps rely on Google Play services to keep them running. Without them, programs may not work correctly, in limited mode, or even become inaccessible.

MobilTelefon claims that for each region, only those from the above 70 applications will function normally there.

There is also information confirming the intentions of the Chinese manufacturer to replace some of the programs with their own or similar ones from other suppliers. For example, we already know for sure that instead of Google Maps there will be another service.

ORRO is developing a unique stylus

Almost all electronics manufacturers from China experiment frequently with their product designs. There is a grain of reason in this. Thus, for example, the retractable cameras that are used in the Vivo Nex appeared.

Recently it became known about another similar step by Chinese developers. A source from Letsgodigital reported that ORRO has patented a smartphone with a unique stylus.

The engineering team decided to bring this device back into fashion. Before that, no one except Samsung used stylus in their gadgets. Already two new products of this year - Galaxy Note 10 Lite and Moto G Stylus received such accessories.

These smartphones are equipped with special notches in the cases to accommodate a smart pointer. They will not be in the new ORRO apparatus. It is easy to understand how the stylus will be attached there. It is also said to act as a microphone for phone calls.

This device will have its own battery capable of connecting to a smartphone via Bluetooth LE. These data indirectly confirm the large size of the OPRO stylus. This approach makes sense because it takes space to house the battery. You can also see two buttons on it. They are probably needed to adjust the volume level while receiving calls.

The source of this information claims that the novelty will be shown at MWC 2020 later this month.

AMD Tests New Ryzen Chipset Line

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) benchmarked its new Ryzen 7 4800HS with 3D Mark Time Spy. This chip is intended for mobile devices. Its clock frequency is 2.9-4.2 GHz, and its thermal package is 35 W.

The Ryzen 7 4800HS scored 8730 points in benchmarks and outperformed the 95-watt Intel Core i7-9700K (8200 points).

The company also tested the capabilities of the younger version - AMD Ryzen 3 4300U, which also showed good performance. This speaks to the continuation of the competitive battle between the two tech giants AMD and Intel. Now we should wait for a response from the second company.

OPPO Reno3 Pro will get a powerful front camera

OPPO Reno3 Pro smartphone will be presented in India within a few days. As usual, shortly before the announcement, a teaser was posted on the network, which revealed the main "chip" of the device.

Now everyone has learned that the device will receive a dual front camera, where the resolution of the main sensor will be 44 megapixels. Thus, the device will become the first device in the world to receive improved photo capabilities.

It is also known that OPPO Reno3 Pro will be equipped with a 6.5-inch OLED screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz and Full HD + resolution. It will have up to 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, Android 10 and a 4025mAh battery with 30W VOOC 4.0 fast charging.

The main camera of the smartphone will receive four sensors. The main one is 48 megapixel. There will also be a 13 megapixel telephoto and two auxiliary sensors with a resolution of 8 and 2 megapixels.
