Apple iPhone XR is the Best Selling Smartphone of 2019

The Omdia’s latest report has begun speculations all around the globe as in 2019, the iPhone XR has emerged to be the best selling smartphone of 2019. According to the data published by Omdia, Apple has occupied the first two places in the best selling list with 2018’s iPhone XR and the lastest iPhone 11.

Even though being a costly and premium Apple smartphones have dominated the Top 10 best selling smartphone list, occupying 5 out 10 places. Next comes Samsung who got 4 places and surprisingly, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7 has found a place on the list as well.

The best selling smartphone according to the Top 10 list by Omdia is Apple’s iPhone XR with 46.3 million units shipments in 2019 whereas in 2018 it got only 23.1 million units shipped in 2018, making the device one of the best-selling smartphones ever.

On the second spot, we have another Apple product i.e. the recently announced iPhone 11, which is the true successor to iPhone XR, surprisingly got 37.3 million units shipped in just 3 months! It seems Apple’s strategy of cutting down costs of its iPhone to some extent has worked since the launch of iPhone XR.

In the third place, we finally have a Samsung device i.e the Samsung A10 with 30.3 million units shipped in 2019. Then we have the Galaxy A50 and Galaxy A20 with 24.2 and 19.2 million units shipped respectively in 2019. The strong offline as well as the online presence of the Galaxy A series has helped the sales of these smartphones.

Both the flagship iPhone 11 Pro Max and iPhone 11 Pro has managed 17.6 and 15.5 million units shipped in 2019 even though carrying a high price tag along with the iPhone 8 which was 2018’s top-selling smartphone has got the 7th place in 2019.

Apple A13 Bionic chip is up to 50% faster than Snapdragon 855+

Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 7 has made a surprise entry in the list, which is also a budget smartphone and has 16.4 million units shipped in 2019. Samsung’s older J2 Core, which is the cheapest low-budget smartphone has managed a spot in the top 10 with 15.2 million shipments.

What we might infer from the list is that even though premium smartphone market is said to be evolving and although some say Apple might be facing real issues with their high priced iPhones, Apple iPhones are the most preferred ones across the globe. Samsung and Xiaomi’s cheaper smartphones have earned their respect in the budget smartphone market.

Black Shark 3 Pro 5G creates a record at the AnTuTu benchmark scores

After the launch of the Snapdragon 865 last year, we were just waiting for the new premium smartphones featuring this chip. Even though the MWC 2020 was called off due to the coronavirus but still companies are launching new devices in their solo events.

Smartphones featuring this chip are scoring record AnTuTu scores every now and then, until yesterday Xiaomi’s upcoming Mi 10 Pro was leading the charts after being air-cooled but now it seems that Xiaomi’s proprietory gaming smartphone – the upcoming Xiaomi Black Shark 3 featuring the Snapdragon 865 has crushed the total competition.

Black Shark 3 Pro 5G scores record AnTuTu benchmark

Xiaomi has well implemented the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC on the Black Shark 3 Pro device to reach a new high score of 620,952 points, probably their liquid cooling technology and the UI optimizations have helped the device to make such record score.

Before now, the recently launched iQOO 3 was reputed to have the highest score of 597,583 points and prior to that the Realme X50 Pro scored over 574,000 points. The Xiaomi Black Shark 3 and 3 Pro 5G will go official in just a few days on March 3 and Xiaomi has already started pre-registrations in China.

The 15W Vega 7 iGPU on the Ryzen 7 4700U destroys 25W NVIDIA GeForce MX250

After the launch of the AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile APUs, we had a doubt if the 7nm goodness of these processors can overtake NVIDIA graphics after giving Intel some hard times on the horsepower front.

The integrated Vega graphics has been one of the key selling points of the Ryzen Mobile processors and with days it has become much more powerful & efficient. Now, the leaked 3DMark 11 scores of the new Ryzen 7 4700U will give NVIDIA some problems.

Surprisingly this 15W Ryzen 7 4700U APU even defeats the 25W discrete GeForce MX250 by nearly 17% in the 3DMark 11’s graphics test. The integrated Vega 7 graphics (with 7 compute units) scored 5446 points whereas the discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX 250’s scored only 4655 points.

The Zen 2 based processor also nails it on the CPU performance, scoring a massive 10,404 points which are in fact on par with the 65W Intel Skylake Core i7-6700 desktop CPU. The Ryzen 4000 mobile processors will provide incredible performance not only on the CPU but also GPU front and nows it’s evident after these leaks.

Even though the new MX330 and MX350 mobile graphics are out but the efficiency of the new AMD APUs and their cost will give users the freedom to get both performances on the CPU and the GPU front without paying extra bucks for the discrete graphics.

If you are an AMD fan and have been waiting for this moment for them to show complete dominance on both the CPU and GPU front for the mobile processors, the time has come, all wrapped under a mere 15W TDP envelope.

It will be interesting to see how Intel hits back with its Tiger Lake chips with integrated Gen12 iGPU. Also, these scores and numbers shall differ and can even improve if the laptops implement the Ryzen 4000 processors properly, can’t wait to test them out!

Samsung starts mass production of industry’s first 16GB LPDDR5 mobile DRAM

Samsung has recently announced that it has begun the mass production of the industry’s first 16-gigabyte (GB) LPDDR5 mobile DRAM package for next-generation premium smartphones. 

Even though such high mobile DRAM finds no application but to improve performance and for selling perspective, Samsung has already started the production of 16GB RAM units. These 16GB LPDDR5 RAM units offer:

  • A data transfer rate of 5,500 Mb/s which is almost 1.3 times faster than the previous mobile memory (LPDDR4X, 4266Mb/s).
  • Consists of eight 12GB chips and four 8GB chips, being equipped on the premium smartphones with twice the DRAM capacity you find in many high-end laptops and gaming PCs these days.
  • When compared to an 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, the new mobile LPDDR5 DRAM delivers more than 20% energy savings in spite of providing up to twice the capacity.

As Samsung continues to expand LPDDR5 mobile DRAM production at its Pyeongtaek site, the company plans to mass-produce 16Gb LPDDR5 products based on third-generation 10nm-class (1z) process technology in the second half of this year, in line with the development of a 6,400Mb/s chipset

Samsung

Even though there’s no mention that the latest 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM should be the one that is used in Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra that was introduced earlier this month.

Microsoft Xbox Series X will feature 12 Teraflops of GPU horsepower

After giving the world the first glimpse of the upcoming Xbox Series X that will be “a true generation leap” in the era of gaming consoles, Microsoft is giving some specification leaks of its upcoming “Project Scarlett” powered by AMD hardware.

The Redmond giant’s new gaming console will go head-to-head with Sony’s upcoming PS5 which will also be powered by AMD. As told earlier in last year’s E3, the new Xbox Scarlett is promised to be 4X more powerful than the last-gen Xbox One X.

Microsoft will go all-AMD this time also and the gaming console will feature AMD’s 7nm chips, i.e. Zen 2 (octa-core) CPU and a custom developed Navi GPUs and it will have support for up to 8K resolution and up to 120 FPS.

Microsoft's upcoming Xbox Scarlett will have Ray Tracing and 8K Support

The company has confirmed that the Xbox Series X will have a GPU that packs in 12 Teraflops of processing power which is twice the GPU performance found in the Xbox One X and eight times that of the Xbox One.

Xbox Series X delivers a true generational leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge techniques resulting in higher framerates, larger, more sophisticated game worlds, and an immersive experience unlike anything seen in console gaming.

Phil Spencer, Microsoft’s Xbox chief 

The Blogspot that details regarding the hardware upgrades, also says that the Xbox Series X will feature Variable Rate Shadin that allows developers to utilise GPU power more efficiently by targeting important characters or environmental objects, instead of spending GPU cycles on all individual pixels in a scene.

According to the post, “ this results in more stable frame rates and higher resolution, with no impact on the final image quality.”

Also, we all know that the upcoming Microsoft Xbox Series X will support hardware-accelerated ray tracing and 8K support for games. In last year’s E3, Phil Spencer also confirmed the use of NVMe SSD storage along with dynamic latency input and HDMI 2.1 support.

The game load times will increase up to 40 times over the present Xbox One and the SSD will also be used for caching and paging to further reduce the loading times. It will also have a dedicated sound card and there will be a Quick Resume feature for multiple games.

No solid launch date has been announced by Microsoft but they are to expect in the coming months but we think at the E3 2020 the announcement of the revolutionary gaming consoles will be made or might be before that if its competitor Sony announces the PS5 earlier.

AMD dominates over Intel in Mindfactory CPU sales

AMD has just painted the CPU market with red and Ryzen CPUs are reigning all over the markets in the world. The weekly sales information from the huge German hardware/software retailer Mindfactory proves the incredible sales of AMD CPUs compared to Intel, even though they are struggling on the GPU front.

Out of the best selling 15 CPUs, all the 13 of them were AMD Ryzen CPUs varying from 1st gen to the 3rd gen. Intel’s Coffee Lake 8-core Intel Core i7-9700K and Core i9-9900K did find a spot in the top 15 which really says everything and how customers are relying on AMD over the Blue team.

The best CPU out of the lot was obviously the 3rd Gen based Ryzen 5 3600 which single-handedly took 1280 sales in just a week. Surprisingly, users are buying more of the high performing desktop Ryzen CPUs i.e. the 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 3700X has become an attractive option for users for its cores and high clock speeds.

The Top 15 CPU sales

Then we see a bunch of 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen CPUs both from entry-level to high-end, no signs of Intel at all. Another surprise entry is the 1st Gen Ryzen 5 1600 whose decreased price can be an attractive option for budget buyers who need more cores.

The Ryzen 9 3900X also got a higher spot with 220 sales makes it a lucrative deal for high-end users who need more cores and performance as compared to the similarly priced Core i9-9900K. The Ryzen APUs too got a good amount of sales, the Ryzen 3 3200G managing a 280 of it while the Ryzen 5 3400G with 110 and Ryzen 3 220G with 100.

The highest sold AMD Ryzen 5 3600

The Blue team’s Core i7-9700K managed to get 100s of sales and the high-priced Core i9-9900K only got 80 sales. From the list, we see people are buying a variety of AMD CPUs from every range for their needs, the overall sales unit figure for the week was 4,185 for AMD and 675 for Intel.

Even though Intel is preparing its Comet Lake desktop CPUs but the momentum has already shifted to team Red and by the time Intel somehow manages to convince people to buy their 10th Gen desktop CPUs, the Ryzen 4000 CPUs will be ready to show its supremacy.

Big Navi GPU specs leaked, up to 24 GB of HBM2e VRAM, 5,120 shading units & 2,048 GB/s bandwidth

AMD seems to plan big this time and as we guessed previously, the Red team finally plans to take down the high-end NVIDIA GPUs this time. It also seems AMD will continue its RX 5000 momentum and as per previous leaks, we might see a Radeon RX 5950 XT GPU.

Now there are different theories going on, whether Big Navi will be AMD’s hinted RX 5900 series or will be based out of the upcoming RDNA 2 architecture to compete with NVIDIA’s Ampere GPUs and be named as the Radeon RX 6000 series.

There’s a new leak by @CyberCatPunk who claims to have got a slide detailing the config of D32310/15, a GPU that appeared in RRA certifications last week which indeed is from AMD. The person also claimed to have sent this info by an unnamed source within SK Hynix.

According to this slide, the D32310/15 GPU will support 5,120 shading units, 320 TMUs, 96 ROPs and 80 CUs, along with 12 MB of L2 cache. Then there’s 24 GB of HBM2e VRAM, which will be split across four clusters, and operating on a 4,096-bit bus along with a bandwidth of 2,048 GB/s.

Even though no one can actually infer any solid info from this leaked specs which raised a debate on Twitter and some people feel that the information is consistent with what SK Hynix has already reported about its HBM2e and some disagree as well.

Otherwise, what we can infer is AMD up to something and they will not stop against the likes of NVIDIA Ampere GPUs so it will be interesting to see when Big Navi launches and will it be based out of RDNA or the RDNA 2 architecture.

Solskjaer delighted with Manchester United new signing Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes scored his first goal for Manchester United on Sunday as they beat Watford by 3-0. Fernandes scored the opening goal for United and was involved in the other two goals as well.

The Portugal international, who has been a long time transfer target for Manchester United, finally joined United from Sporting CP in this winter transfer window. He has quickly adjusted to the Premier League and has started showing his qualities on the ball.

Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer thinks Fernandes has Juan Sebastian Veron’s ability to thread long-range passes and Paul Scholes’ technique, which is a deadly combination.

bruno fernandes

Solskjaer told reporters: “Bruno Fernandes is quicker than he looks. [We’re] very excited by having him in. In today’s market, I think we got a good deal. He has come in, done really well and given everyone a boost.”

“It means more than just getting a player in. You can see the supporters are used to players with that personality, mentality and quality. He’s been a big plus. From day one and, first minute, [he] felt like a presence in the group. First training session, demanding the ball. Some players take some time in warming up, but he felt confident straight away.”

“It is a bit of a mix between Scholes and Veron. To be fair, he’s got the temperament of Veron and a lot of the quality of Scholesy. He is a box-to-box midfielder. He can do everything a midfielder can do, similar to Veron and Scholes.”

“One of the good things about him is he risks the ball like Veron did. I used to love playing with Seba [Veron] because you could make runs and you’ll get the ball. And if he doesn’t hit you, at least he’s looking for you.”

bruno fernandes

He further added: “[Bruno] loves playing football, he wants the ball, he’s got the personality and character to demand it all the time, wanting to take the penalty. He takes it the way he does to show he is a Man United character, not just a very, very good footballer.”

“He is here now and he is one of the pieces that we are trying to put together. He is a big piece in it and an important piece, because we are getting towards the business end of the field.”

“We have spent with Harry [Maguire] and Aaron [Wan-Bissaka], who have done fantastically, and now we have got this number 10 or attacking midfield role nailed down. Hopefully, he’ll keep fit and keep producing performances.”

“Some games he will play in a two, some games as an attacking midfielder, some games as a 10. He has played every position in midfield. He is going to be a very important part and is coming in to be a very important player for us because we’ve needed that type of player.”

“[It was] a very good win, two good wins and two clean sheets, some goals to celebrate. Now, we want to kick on. There are big games coming up now.”

Manchester United will play against Club Brugge in the Europa League on Thursday before their trip to Everton in the Premier League three days later.

Pep Guardiola: Manchester City want to be like Real Madrid

Manchester City have been drawn against 13-time Champions League winner Real Madrid in the Round of 16 this season. The 1st leg is scheduled is to be held on 26th February at Bernabeu.

Real Madrid have been the most dominant force in Europe. They have won the Champions League four times – including a hattrick – in the last six seasons. Despite their poor league record, Madrid have always been the side to beat for the other teams in Champions League.

On the contrary, the Manchester City players are inexperienced in the Champions League. Among the whole squad, only Claudio Bravo and Scott Carson have won the Champions League in their career.

Pep Guardiola knows Real Madrid from his time as a Barcelona coach. He guided Barcelona to win the Champions League twice. But he has admitted that Manchester City players lack experience in Europe and they want to emulate Real Madrid’s success.

guardiola

Guardiola told reporters: “I have an incredible admiration for this club. The players who have played there have played so many times in the [Champions League] final and I don’t know how many times each one has lifted it.”

“Maybe Claudio [Bravo] has won the Champions League and someone else. We don’t have many players who have won it. But we need the desire to win it and be ourselves, We could win it or lose it. But we must be ourselves in the 180 minutes against Real Madrid. It is the real, real test.”

real madrid manchester city

He further added: “You have players who come to Madrid and pull on the shirt, they know they are defending their history. That makes an extra thing. Not just the spectators and media.”

“They are the club we want to emulate and imitate and we have to be there. I want to go there and at the end of the game I want to say ‘we were what we are’. This is the most important thing in these types of competitions.”

“We need to go and try and do it at one of the biggest, nicest and most prestigious stadiums. After that, we will try with our weapons and try to score the goals. If we cannot, we will congratulate them and try and improve for the next time.

“For us being here is exciting, so good and we will try to do our best, knowing we play against a team who have won 13 Champions Leagues and it is a king.”

“This is the last 16 but maybe the quarter-finals, maybe the semi-finals, maybe the final. You have to beat Madrid, you have to beat Barcelona, you have to beat Bayern Munich. You have to beat the big, big big clubs in this competition if you are to try and win it.”

Real Madrid suddenly find themselves in a bit of mess. They have drawn one and lost another in their last two matches, which resulted in surrendering the top spot of the LaLiga to Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Manchester City have won two straight Premier League matches without conceding a goal. But Real Madrid are a lot different in Europe and they always rise up to the occasion. So it will be an interesting match at Bernabeu.
