Oppo rearma in Europe based on AI, quality and durability to try to conquer a saturated market

by

In recent years, Oppo has gone through a Restructuring stage in its global strategy. While in 2022 and 2023 the company had to leave several European markets due to different Legal disputes with Nokialittle by little he is returning with a renewed strategy to consolidate your presence in a market that over the years is increasingly competitive. Currently Oppo is the Fifth brand that sells more devices in China And, together with OnePlus, it is part of the conglomerate BBK Electronicsthat also controls brands as live and realme. Its expansion in Europe Not only does it seek to recover the land lost so farbut also position yourself solidly in the competitive segment of the mid -range with devices as interesting as the new OPPO RENE13 SERIES. As is We already did in 2023we have had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with Billy Zhang, vice president of OPPPO and currently responsible for the brand outside China in addition to Neil Monger, director of OPPO product marketing for Europe, to understand how the company’s strategy is evolving and what role the new Oppo renov13 play throughout this process. OPPO’s strategy to continue growing in Europe Regarding what are Oppo’s intentions in our territory, Billy Zhang explained that the brand No specific market share objectives are set or income in Europe. “Our approach is to understand the market well and offer high quality products and services. The results will be a consequence of how good we can meet demand,” he said. The Oppo Reno13 is the great bet of the mid -range brand Currently, Oppo has made its presence in Europe one of the most important in the sector and is that, as in China, it is also the Fifth brand that sells more devices in the European market. During 2024 He managed to register a Growth of 13% and reach a total of 4.1 million devices soldso its dimensions are increasingly important within our territory. One of the keys to its strategy is being the investment in retail. The company has announced an investment of 500% in the coming years to strengthen its presence both in its own e-commerce and in marketplaces and Amazon seeking not only to improve distribution, but also to offer a more accessible purchase experience and close to the European consumer while reinforcing its presence in the largest possible number of means. “Our approach is to understand the market well and offer high quality products and services. The results will be a consequence of how good we can meet demand.” In addition, something that caught our attention is that Zhang said that “a product always has to meet the user’s needs as he expects”, but “he cannot sacrifice the profit margin just to enter a price war.” At this point, Oppo clearly seeks unmark the strategy of other Chinese brands They seek to offer as much as possible. Of phones folding to artificial intelligence, what has changed in OPPO? The smartphones market changes rapidly, there is no doubt about that. In 2022, Zhang said that “perhaps in five years we are very important in the global folding phone market. Maybe number one.” However, the panorama has changed since, although Oppo continues to bet on folding With models such as OPPO FIND N3now the artificial intelligence It is the central axis of its strategy because the market claims. According to Neil Monger, The AI ​​is among the three functions most demanded by userstogether with the camera and design, so they have had to adapt their strategy towards that direction. Monger says that his approach is to “optimize and make accessible the functions of the AI ​​that already exist to offer a durable and quality experience” and, obviously, that has made its Partnership With Google it is essential today. Oppo’s AI has become one of its basic pillars In addition, I also wanted to ask about the possible additional cost when using the service that could come in the future, and the answer was very clear: Oppo does not plan to monetize the functions of AI on its devicesalthough it does not rule out exploring business models around them. “As technology progresses, costs will be reduced and we will find the best time to evaluate new options.” According to Neil Mongger, the AI ​​is among the three functions most demanded by users, together with the camera and design Does this mean that the company will set aside other projects to give AI ABSOLUTE? It is evident that no. Folding models are still very present within the company’s catalog and even mid -range devices are also being very reinforced to get a greater presence in the market, so everything seems to be much more focused on meet your customers than anything else. What a difference from the reinde13 from the rest of the devices from their competition During this interview there was something that surprised me a lot and that, among the aspects most valued by European consumers when buying a phone, we met the Durability of devices. Oppo has responded to this demand improving the materials and the construction of the reindeer13, again, with the clear intention of listening to what your community and the market in general. The brand claims to have introduced “Aerospace grade aluminum frames, increasing flexion resistance by 20% and water resistance by 36%”, so that on that side it seems that we can be calm. In fact, During the presentation itself We were able to verify that the reinde13 equip specific camera modes for use equipment under waterso they have really taken it seriously. Another key point is software support. While marks like Google, Samsung and even honor They already offer up to seven years of updates in their high ranges, Oppo has extended its five -year support in the Reno13ensuring that devices will keep at least 80% of their original performance capacity during that period. The doubt that assaults us now both in Oppo and in many other brands is whether … Read more

Xiaomi wants to revolutionize the Chinese market of the electric car and its next goal is not Tesla. They are your registration

by

Although they have become a reference in recent years, China has been investing in all kinds of measures to promote the use of the electric car. In recent months we have explained how The supply chain dominate with iron of batteries or how the State has sustained sales applying constant purchase subsidies. But this strategy has been transversal and has also tried to take into account even the slightest detail. One of them, for example, was to give Specific registrations to new energy cars, as they are known in the country to plug -in and electric hybrids. These tuitions are green. As in Spain with the environmental badge of the DGT, These special registrations that began to sell in 2016 They served to quickly identify electric cars or plug -in hybrids. The measure worked quickly because it had a lot of practical and some image. In the first place because some cities began to impose restrictions on blue enrollment cars. That is, all those who were not new energy vehicles. For example, In Beijing Combustion vehicles were forbidden to circulate one day a week to reduce pollution. Vehicles with green registrations were released and to facilitate the identification, the use of the new registration was essential. At the same time, In Shanghaiwhere traffic was hell, the authorities began to restrict the delivery of new registrations with lotteries. But there was another way to get a car: Green enrollment. Because, indeed, if you got with a new energy car you could skip this procedure. And, of course, green registration also had some image. In China it was understood that if you had a green registration in your car it was because You were committed to the environment. As the prices of electric cars could be low, it was not so much a status symbol but it did serve to project an image of a person that embraces the cleaner technologies of the moment. Now, Xiaomi is committed to changing the rules. More and more personalization Once the electric car has gained ground, the use of green registration has lost some sense. At least this is what Lei Jun believes that has proposed a substantial change in the enrollment plates of electric cars. In addition to being the founder of Xiaomi, Lei Jun is also a congressman in the National Congress of the People In China since 2013. His figure has been re -elected on several occasions to participate in this body that the Chinese Communist Party uses to carry out future laws and regulations. Every year, the National Congress of the People meets and the congressmen propose the New laws or the modification of the existing ones. During a period that usually reaches two weeks, the proposals are debated for a subsequent application if the case is. This year, Lei Jun has taken the floor to propose changes in regulation of vehicles and the application of artificial intelligence in their operation. In his speech, Lei Jun has proposed five modifications that You can see in this link. Among them, it encourages to implement changes to develop systems of Autonomous Level 3 and 4 Driving. That is, vehicles circulate for themselves without human attention. In addition, it is committed to investing in a greater production of electric cars and their batteries or facilitating the use of artificial intelligence in them. But what has caught attention is your proposal to change the current registration of new energy vehicles. Lei Jun points out that intelligent enrollment can be incorporated that facilitate traffic management, abandoning current plates. That is, take advantage of digital functions in them. And, taking advantage of this new functionality, it is committed to eliminating the obligation that the registration of new energy cars are green. He points out that vehicles are increasingly interested in the personalization of their cars and that they want to body color does not unravel with registrationas is currently. The interest of buyers in customizing cars has been growing in the Asian country. In Speedhuntersspecialized in vehicle modificationsexplained that In 2023 they had already been surprised With Chinese interest in personalized vehicles. Until now, the restrictions to apply changes in cars have been iron but as they point out in their article, which they accompany with photos, more and more Chinese clients are interested in a culture of customization similar to the Japanese or what we knew here as we knew here as Tunning In the early 2000s. Little by little, customization has been pending among customers to the point that some televisions sell as a disruptive element The factories in which cars are personalized customer taste. The business has reached such a point that The United States Department of Commerce He points out that “the China customization and modification market was valued at 10 billion US dollars in 2021 and can reach 31.2 billion dollars by 2025”. The reality is that in recent years customization in the car market has shot. The state impulse To continue selling cars when in 2022 production had stopped as a consequence of COVID-19 was seen as a bet in this regard. In fact, There are already specific fairs in which only individual modifications are treated for cars. Changing the green of the license plate is, without a doubt, one more step to boost customization in vehicles. A business that has been growing over the years and is especially interesting for companies offered by the most expensive vehicles on the market. In fact, among the richest The purchase of individuals manufactured individually has been popularizedwith the aim of having a unique car that meets all its demands.

snatch the AI ​​market to Nvidia

by

Nvidia leads the GPU market to artificial intelligence (AI) with a shocking forcefulness, especially if we stick to training the great language models. According to the consultant Jon Pedie Research The company led by Jensen Huang controlled 90% of the market During the third quarter of 2024, and presumably their numbers will not have changed much since then. AMD reached a 10%quota during that period, so the presence of Intel in this sector is anecdotal. The sanctions that it has deployed The US government During the last two and a half years they prevent Nvidia from selling its GPU for the most advanced, such as chips H100, A100, H800 or A800. However, the GPU that at the time the US Department of Commerce does allow you to sell its Chinese clients is the H20 cut chip. And he is having a lot of success. In fact, its sales in the country led by Xi Jinping grow 50% quarter to quarter despite the delicate current situation. AMD wants a cake portion in China The Chinese government wants its technology companies to stop buying integrated circuits to NVIDIA. The step he took at the beginning of last October was merely informative, but, in any case, It was expressly addressed to companies that acquire GPU for AI with the purpose of recommending that they buy chips produced in China, and not the solutions of the Jensen Huang company. The current situation does not seem ideal for another American company to try to grow in the Chinese market Nvidia is losing competitiveness in China despite the good sales of her H20 chip. It is inevitable. And this GPU on paper is much less capable than The most sophisticated chips for the that Jensen Huang’s firm is currently selling. At the moment the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China has not officialized anything, but the administration led by Xi Jinping has restricted since last August the purchase of NVIDIA H20 GPUs by Chinese companies. On the other hand, Huawei has its own GPU for ia, The chips ascend tofor more than five years. During this period of time it has been refining them and increasing its capacities with the purpose of matching or even overcoming the performance of the A100 and H100 chips of Nvidia. This situation does not seem ideal for another American company to try to grow in the Chinese market, but this panorama does not seem to have discouraged Lisa her, the general director of AMD. And this executive is now in China. In fact, according to SCMP He has begun his visit by highlighting the role that his company is playing in the development of AI models of the country’s main actors, among which are Deepseek and Alibaba. Smooth his has remarked that THE INSTICT GPU of AMD are compatible with the models of AI of these last two companies in a clear attempt to Defend your position in the Chinese market. Besides, has pointed out which has observed a perceptible increase in the performance of Depseek models thanks to AMD hardware optimization. This statement is quite surprising if we take into account that Depseek uses Nvidia chips in training and huawei in inference. Whatever it will be interesting to verify how AMD hardware evolves for the Chinese market during the next months.

Chance or not, Tesla has collapsed in the stock market at the same time that its great rival has shot: byd

by

Like a rocker. Like the communicating vessels that claim to be Barça and Madrid. As, the most Chinese, concept of Ying and Yang. Or as the most Spanish, said of “the two sides of the same currency.” Byd and Tesla seem to be in completely opposite points. Just when one seems to have Detwered And it does not stop presenting new solutions for its vehicles the other seems to be completely stagnant in the launch of new proposals. When one has taken off the other one in a clear setback. We do not know what will last but what is clear is that, at the moment, photography for Byd and Tesla cannot be more different. Two completely different scenarios It is enough to review the last six months of Byd and Tesla to verify that the situation cannot be more different for both companies. From Tesla’s point of view, if we look back half a year we find that the company was about to enter a roller emission mountain. In October 2024 Tesla presented what he aspired to be a blow on the table. Your promise: a robotaxi without pedals or steering wheel which should be sold from 2026 for 30,000 euros. Although doubts emerged at first given Cruise and Waymo’s performance In the autonomous driving market and the mountain of money burned along the way, Donald Trump’s choice shortly after An unexpected impulse To the company. Despite contraintuitive, choosing a president who seemed contrary to the electric car was A good way to keep Tesla at the top… from the United States. Because The actions shot But the data has ended up clicking the bubble. First with the confirmation that Tesla He could not sell more cars in 2024 than the previous year. Second because 2025 has started horrificly For Elon Musk’s company. And, third, because the falls are more pronounced in the countries that buy the most electric, such as China and Germany. To all of the above you have to add a reputational crisis of the company as a consequence of Elon Musk’s political decisions. The real impact is not very clear in their drop in stock market but that social networks have been filled with people denying the company or attacked vehicles and concessionaires Because of the decisions of his CEO they do not seem to help at all. If we look Stock performance Six months, the company seems to have been stagnant above the border of the 200 dollars/action. Its value remains very high and a setback of less than 4% does not seem too much but the growth and subsequent adjustment have been so accused that they do not invite to be optimistic either. On the contrary, the performance of byd Six months seen is very different. His actions have grown 55% and in the last year they have shot above 80%. And in recent months the wind blows in favor of the Chinese company. It ended 2024 with the aim of reaching Tesla as the company that sold the most electric cars. He did not get it for little But the smile was not frozen for a long time. The company managed to place itself as The fifth manufacturer who sold more cars In all 2024. a figure in which only plug and electrical hybrid vehicles are contemplated or, as they are called in China, new energy. Unlike others rivals like Saic Or the Geely group, all byd cars take advantage of electricity so they have it more complicated in markets such as Spanish where cheaper and pure combustion cars triumph. However, the prospects for 2025 invite you to be optimistic. The company has sold almost double in the first two months of the year as in the same period of 2023. It is determined to find soil for new factories. In America I intended Install in Mexico But he will have to deal with the restrictions of his own country. In Europe they are already clear that This same year They will decide where they will raise their third floor on our continent (If we count the Turkish as the second of its expansionist plans in Europe). And in China they do not stop launching products to each more striking. If the Chinese electric car market were the Barcelona Club football we could say that they are month than a car. To continue attracting customers, for example, a platform for launch and record you driving. Beyond this curiosity, the real announcement was the confirmation that they will give away their Eye of God In all its vehicles. This is a missile in Tesla’s flotation line. Elon Musk’s company intends that its functions of driving or Autonomous driving (in the future) Be a more source of income. Byd they argue that they are a purchase value in itself and prefers to give them them thinking that the business can be make profitable with other services To enjoy when your eye of God is active. To the latter you have to add your new platform. The Super E-Platform is already ready to ride in its two larger cars and price. The incentive in this case will be his very quick loading times. Next to this platform, the company presented new recharge stations. The combination of both products should be able to load electric cars with peaks up to 1,000 kW. That is, the power that had so far been thought to recharge electric trucks. With such a charge power, Byd says that 400 kilometers of autonomy can be recharged in five minutes. The recharge time would be matching the time we spent pouring gasoline. This last announcement has served the company to receive a tremendous push in the stock market. In what we have been, their shares have risen almost 13% and strengthens the sustained growth of the last year until its historical maximum. It remains to be seen if Tesla manages to recover and get out of the stumbling block in which … Read more

that fights in the world market

by

If you think of Cyprus it is most likely to come to mind their beaches Mediterranean and archaeological treasuresmay even that its gastronomy, with stars such as FASOLADA or squid dishes. What may not be so famous is your sweet wine Commandaria. And that is one of the most ancient broths in the world (but the one that most) and the World Guinness Record He attributes him the oldest known. Now in Cyprus there are some wine wore on which all that changes and the Commandaria Recover the fame that I had centuries ago. In their favor they have a long (very long) story. A name: “COMMANDARY “. If you are wines lover, especially from sweet broths and with history, “Commandaria” It is a name to remember. This is how the drink elaborated in the southwest of Chipre with native grapes has been known for centuries (Mavro and Xynisteri) and following a traditional technique that results in a sweet and amber wine. Among other peculiarities, to enhance their flavor the grapes are left in the sun for more than a week. Why is it special? For several reasons. The main one, Its history. The legend ensures that the wine was baptized by the crusaders of the s. XIII, when the Cyprus area in which it occurs was known as ‘La Grande Commanderie’; But its origins date back much further. How much? There are those who say that it was already elaborated in the 800 AC Or even 5,000 yearsthat in antiquity was called “Nama” and that comes with reviewing the history books to find references about him. Does almost 3,000 years They already praised him Homer and Euripides And around his barrels a good handful of stories and legends have been generated, as in the thirteenth century won the first wine contest of which we have proof or that the king himself Ricardo Heart of León It served among his guests to celebrate his wedding in Cyprus, in 1191. And that between a long (very long) list of stories that at least show that the Commandaria Enjoy a rich tradition. A record wine. What is unquestionable is that Chilean sweet wine can boast of being one of the oldest on the entire planet. But the one that most. So assures it The Guinness World Records, which recognizes it as “the oldest elaborate wine”, tracing its origins to 2,000 AC “also holds the record of ‘Appelation d´origine’ older, “clarifies the record certifying organization. In 1223, in a gesture that demonstrates his fondness for CommandariaKing Felipe de France included came to designate him “The apostle of the wines.” A past splender. Neither his history nor having been a kings drink has served him to Commandaria to shine in the competitive wine market of the 21st century. AP requires that production reached its peak already centuries ago, Towards the XV and XVIwhen Cyprus was under the control of Venice, and during the last years the production has been around the 200,000 bottles. As a reference, of the 60,000 hectares of Do Rioja, more than 250 million of liters. Why’s that? There are several keys that help understand the recent drift of the Commandaria. A few months ago the specialized magazine The World of Fine Wine I remembered that the island managed to boost its exports after the 1930s with the one known as “Jerez Chipriot”, but The entrance of the country in the EU and the regulation on the denominations marked a first handicap. Nor has it helped drift from fashions in the market and loss of interest For the broths with sweet flavors, nor the little promotion that has been made outside of Cyprus. One of the Factors More recent that has harmed its demand is the Ukraine War. The western sanctions that followed the progress of the Russian troops in March 2022 affected the flow of Russian tourists, hitting a valuable market for the Chipriot wine. Years ago there were wineries who tried to expand to the Chinese market, but the attempt did not go well among other reasons because the producers themselves were unable to meet demand. Why is it news? Because in Cyprus a clear attempt is appreciated for relaunching the Commandaria. Both by institutions and the sector. Perhaps the clearest proof is that In 2024 Chipre presented his candidacy to register the Commandaria in the list of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The proposal can already be consulted in The official website of the organism together with the broad argument presented by its promoters, providing abundant information about the 14 territory They produce Commandaria. The idea of ​​the Cypriots authorities is that the candidacy can be reviewed this year. Both the agency AP Like the chain CNN They have echoed the attempts of small chipre wineries to recover traditional techniques and favor the resurgence of the Commandaria. In Ayios Mamas it has its facilities for example Revcca, a winery that produces about 3,000 bottles a year. “First we must guarantee the consistency of product quality and conquer the domestic market before making a collective effort abroad.” His advantage: tradition. A decade ago the most popular brand of Chipriotic wine, Keo St. John, produced just over 130,000 liters that were mainly directed to the national market, although at that time it pointed to its potential outside the country, with exports aimed at Russia, Scandinavia, France, Australia or the United States. “It has all the elements of Cyprus: honey, herbs, vanilla, spices and nuts like plums,” defended His senior winemaker. Now the strategy of the microbodegas chipriotas who want to boost the Commandaria It is to bet on its great differential value: the historical tradition. For that purpose they are recovering traditional elaboration techniques. “We focus on improving quality instead of obsessing the quantity.” Images | Secret Travel Guide (UNSPLASH), Yanay Rosen (Flickr) and Wikipedia In Xataka | If the question is what is the future of wine, more and more Bordeaux wineries are clear: the without alcohol

Eutelsat, the “European Starlink”, shot in the stock market. The reality is that no European company can match Starlink right now

by

The actions of the Franco-British satellite operator Etelsat shot earlier this week in the Paris Stock Exchange due to the possibility of replacing Starlink in the Ukraine War and In the context of the European rearme. There is no doubt that Europe will seek to recover its autonomy in space, but there is no company capable of replicating Starlink in the short or medium term. Eutelsat takes advantage of the geopolitical pulse. Between Monday and Wednesday, the Eutelsat titles came to quintupply their value, adding 1,000 million euros to the stock market capitalization, which came from historical minimums and had even been degraded to “garbage bonus” by Moody’sdue to the slow performance of OneWeb and high investment needs. The sudden interest, mainly promoted by retail investors and positions in short, dates back to February 28, when a heated public dispute between Volodimir Zelenski and Donald Trump led the United States to pause military aid to kyiv, with cutting threats Starlink satellite Internet service if Ukraine did not granted access to their minerals. While European governments were looking for an alternative, Eutelsat’s executive director said They would need “months, no years” To provide Ukraine as many satellites as Starlink, which ended up firing the company’s action (over the days, Relajusted down). However, reality is always more complex than a headline. How Starlink became vital for Ukraine. When Russia left conventional satellite networks out of service (VIASAT, Iridium, Immarsat…), Starlink gave a crucial advantage to Ukraine. The company directed by Elon Musk not only had the capacity to send more terminals and antennas to the front, but was more resistant to cyber attacks and electronic interference, The famous “Jamming”. The explanation is that Starlink is a constellation of thousands of satellites in low orbit that turn the earth every 90 minutes, so different satellites are going through the sky to serve a certain area. Russian cyberbrains and Jamming were more effective with companies that have geostationary satellites and remain fixed at 36,000 km altitude. Oneweb, the European alternative to Starlink. Since Ooneweb acquired, Eutelsat controls approximately 630 satellites in low orbitbacked by 35 geostationary satellites. It is the only operational global constellation beyond Starlink, although China has begun to also display yours. Unlike Starlink, whose main business is final consumers, Oneweb It has focused on military, governmental, maritime, aviation, industrial, logistics and operators. The reason is the enormous scale difference: Spacex has a 10 -time density of satellites, which allows you to serve more simultaneous users with Starlink. Everything is reduced to rockets. Europe just recover your autonomous access to space With the definitive entry of the Vega-C rockets and Ariane 6. But these pitchers are not reusable: each mission requires a new one, which prevents its use to display large satellite constellations. Not only would it be profitable: it would be logistically impossible, since the rockets in low orbit They have to be spare parts every few years. On the other hand, the Falcon 9 of Spacex is partially reusable. The company routinely recovers the propeller and halves of the Cofia, and thanks to that competitive advantage can launch two Starlink missions every week. In total, Spacex has launched more than 8,000 Starlink satellites, of which more than 7,000 are still in orbit. Falcon 9 is also One of the rockets that have put in orbit the satellites of Oneweb/Eutelsat. This situation is not going to be resolved until the European private industry, with ESA investments, has its first reusable rockets ready. The best positioned company is the French Arianegroup, which for decades has had the Duopoolio de launchers from Europe next to the Italian Avio. But its subsidiary Maiaspace is developing a relatively small rocket: Maia, with the capacity to put between 500 and 2,500 kg in Heliosíncrona orbit. In that range will compete with Miura 5 From the Spanish PLD Space. Image | Oneweb In Xataka | It is not that Elon Musk has managed to introduce its influence on NASA.

The finest folding in the market is the first one that finally feels as a normal mobile

by

I have tried the Oppo Find N5: the finest folding in the market is the first one that I finally feel like a normal mobile I have changed my opinion of the folding. The dream It seemed farbut after trying the Oppo Find N5 I see them differently. I think they are finally prepared to conquer the first battle line. Oppo has created a device whose low folding thickness of the 9 millimeters. And deployed are 4.21 mm. Maybe the numbers do not tell you much, but In hand the sensation is brutal. Better than expected. It is something else. It is the first folding that I do not feel thick or annoying. In recent months we have seen folding such as Huawei Mate X6 And above all the Honor Magic V3the closest to equate to a normal mobile in size and thickness. But it is that OPPO Find N5 is the first to achieve that Wow effect on design. The first one that I have placed next to an iPhone 16 Plus and my hand goes quickly to the folding. The Magic V3 stayed close, with the Find N5 finally I think the folding are already there. OPPO FIND N5, Technical Specifications OPPO FIND N5 Internal screen 8.12 -inch’s internal AMOLED screen Resolution of 2,480 x 2,248 pixels 96% screen-screen ratio LTPO 120 Hz Maximum brightness of 2,100 nits External screen 6.62 -inch’s internal AMOLED screen Resolution of 2,616 x 1,140 pixels 92% screen-screen ratio LTPO 120 Hz Maximum brightness of 2,450 nits Dimensions and weight Folding: 160.87 x 74.42 x 8.93 mm Displayed: 160.87 x 146.58 x 4.21 mm 229 grams PROCESSOR Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Adreno 830 GPU RAM 12/16 GB LPDDR5X STORAGE 256/512 GB / 1 TB UFS 4.0 Front camera Internal screen: 8 mp f/2.4, 91º External screen: 8 mp f/2.4, 91º Rear camera Main: 50 MP F/1.8, OIS, 89º Teleobjective: 50 MP F/2.7, OIS, 30X Ultra wide angle: 8 mp f/2.2, OIS, 116º BATTERY 5,600 mAh Fast charging up to 80W Supervooc 50W wireless load Operating system Android 15 Color 15 Connectivity 5g Wi-Fi 7 Bluetooth 5.4 GPS, GNSS, GLONASS, Galileo USB-C (USB 3.1 Gen 2) others Remote control for Mac AI functions: translation, call summary, assistant IPX6, IPX8 and IPX9 certification It is not just the thickness, it is also an excellent hinge Oppo Find N5 comes with an external screen of 6.62 “that occupies 92% of the front. If they do not notify us, We could be comfortable using the folding device all the time. The screen is of good quality. A 120 Hz AMOLED panel and 2,450 Nits. A panel worthy of the high range and that easily enters through the eyes. Inside we have a panel of 8.12 inches with a 96%screen-screen ratio. It is slightly larger and brighter than that of its main competitor, the Magic V3, although in this sense there is not such an obvious advance. What truly and powerfully attracts attention is hinge. And the fold. Or rather your low visibility. Oppo premieres a titanium alloy hinge. It is a system that promises more resistance. Logically in first impressions it is difficult to determine if there are significant advances here, but what we can say is that it is about The most comfortable open hinge and the one that produces a less visible fold. Chapó in this aspect. In hand it feels solid and quite premium, with a well -finished aluminum edge. We have an action button and the finishes are excellent. Instead of betting on a leather and rubber finish, we have the classic glass topped in aluminum. A style more similar to standard high -end mobileswhich reinforces that normal mobile feeling and not a more original design but that highlights its folding condition. OPPO offers an IPX6/IPX8/IPX9 water resistance certified device, which can avoid splashes and water in its regular use. When comparing it with the iPhone 16 Plus, the great work of Oppo is clear. The only thing that stands out significantly is the camera modulebut as for the rest of the body it is wonderful. The device performance is excellent, as expected with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. The camera is also defended, although these tests better leave them for analysis. Oppo adds artificial intelligence functions, which we can activate sliding from the right side. Among them we find summaries with what appears on the screen. A function that goes very well and Oppo plans to offer it soon without the need for Internet connection. What is a real Too bad it is that OPPO Find N5 will not get to Spain at the moment. Each manufacturer has its particular strategies and times, but Oppo could have given a real blow to the field of folding if you bring its folding during this first half of the year. A folding whose first impressions are unbeatable and would be easily placed as the best folding in the market. The letters have already taught us. Now it depends on the rest of the manufacturers, put up. Regarding the design, Oppo has put the bar very high. In Xataka | Best folding mobiles. Which to buy in Spain and recommended models

Its large appliances will reach the global market in 2025

by

Xiaomi has evolved a lot in the last decade. What began as a smartphones brand today is an ecosystem that covers From vacuum robots to washing machines. However, a good part of their products still does not leave the Asian market, which greatly limits its growth in other regions and leaves many users without access to its most advanced technology. But this is about to change. At least, that’s what has advanced William Lu at the Mobile World Congress. The president of Xiaomi has confirmed at the Technological Fair that is held these days in Barcelona that the company will expand its commitment to the connected home. As part of this strategy, in 2025 they plan to bring their large appliances to the global market. The expansion of the Xiaomi ecosystem continues The announcement has not come with too many details, but there are clues that help us understand what products will cross the borders of China. Three key categories could be seen on the auditorium screens: refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners. It is not clear what exact models will be available, but everything indicates that these will be the protagonists of this year’s expansion. At the end of last year, for example, the company presented one of its most advanced washing machines to date. Its great attraction was the ability to wash clothes with a minimum water consumption, in addition to incorporating multiple intelligent functions. However, however promising it seems, its availability was limited exclusively to the Chinese market, leaving out European users. It should be noted that, although Xiaomi has announced an expansion that aims to occur as soon as this year, it is not yet clear which countries will be part of this deployment. So there is the doubt of whether their large appliances will reach markets like Spanish or if availability will remain limited to certain regions. We will have to wait to learn more information. What is clear is that Xiaomi has gradually expanded its catalog beyond China, With an avalanche of new products They have reached different markets. This expansion strategy has paid off: at the end of last year, the company already had 861 million devices connected worldwide. Everything indicates that his commitment to strengthen his international presence is very serious. Images | Xiaomi In Xataka | The Xiaomi Su7 Ultra has registered 7,000 reservations in 10 minutes.

Someone has stolen $ 1.5 billion in a cryptocurrency market. It is the greatest crypto hacking in history

by

The cryptocurrency market had been encouraged again months ago. Everything seemed relatively quiet, but two serious events in this segment have brought us again those sensations of distrust and insecurity. And it will not be easy to get rid of them. A historical theft. Last Friday someone managed to hack the market for the sale of BYBIT cryptodivisas. The firm He quickly warned how they had detected “unauthorized activity” in their systems. It was the greatest cryptocurrency hacking in history: it is estimated that the attackers (s) managed to steal $ 1.5 billion in the form of ETH. The previous most important robberies had been the 470 million dollars stolen in the Mt Gox hacking In 2014, the 530 million coincheck In 2018 or 650 million from Exploit Ronin Bridge In 2022. Lazarus group as suspicious. At the moment the firm does not know how the hacking was performed, but apparently the company’s laptops were not compromised and the problem affected Safe, the “cold” purse of the platform. Cybersecurity consultant Arkham Intelligence indicates that Lazarus Group had been responsible, a statement based on The investigation of the expert in this area Zachxbt. Bybit says to be covered. Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, highlighted How his criptomoned sale market had enough reserves to cover hacking and cryptocurrency withdrawal – especially, especially, Stablecoins– Although for a few hours They blocked some functions of their purses to guarantee their safety. A few hours ago Zhou indicated how they had managed to cover virtually all funds. Panic in Bybit. The theft has caused many users to withdraw funds in Bybit for fear that these funds will also end up being stolen. As indicated In Coindeskin the hours following the HACKEO Bybit he saw how their clients withdrew 4,000 million dollars in funds. Of the 16.9 billion dollars managed in crypto assets in Bybit, the firm went to manage 11.2 billion dollars According to defillama data. Can Ctrl-Z do to the block chain? Some users asked if it would be feasible to make a kind of “roll-back” of the Ethereum block chain. That would allow us to undo the changes made by hackers and return the status of that great book of accounts to how it was before hacking, but it is not clear that this is possible. Experts indicate according to Coindesk that something like this would be possible, but the interactions between the Smart Contracts and their internal architecture make it not easy. It would be necessary to reach a consensus, and could even cause a division of the Ethereum block chain in two. Just when in the US the thing was encouraged. The robbery occurred just the day Coinbase had managed to reach an agreement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission leave the demand without also being issued. Donald Trump’s re -election had promoted the value of cryptocurrencies, but since his appointment we have lived several worrying events. Memecoins, Trump and Milei. The scandals have been especially primed with the Memecoins created or supported by Trump and especially by Javier MileiPresident of Argentina. Both grew in a brilliant value and then collapsed in a mysterious and disturbing way, which points to possible fraud in which a few privileged were winning while hundreds of thousands of people lost their investments in these cryptodivisas. Distrust and insecurity, the eternal condemnation of crypts. The scandals with these memecoins and the spectacular bykit hacking return us the constant feeling of insecurity and distrust that the cryptodivisas have always generated. The institutional interest and a certain tranquility in recent times seemed to have softened that environment, but these new events will probably make more people think twice before investing in this type of assets. It is a bad idea to leave your cryptocurrencies in an “Exchange”. The truth is that these robberies have confirmed that their security measures can end up being insufficient to protect their customers’ funds. The most recommended form of experts to save these cryptocurrencies is do it in physical pursesdo not leave them in the purchase market for sale of cryptocurrencies (“Exchange”).

Apple’s folding sounds more and more strength. It is a golden opportunity to change the smartphones market

by

We have been with the cantinela for years that “next year, Apple will present its folding smartphone.” And no, there is not always water in the river When it sounds. However, this start of 2025 starts with increasingly solid tracks About this project. The last They are related to Chinese manufacturer Lens Technology, who will supposedly manufacture the ultrafine glass that will supply 70% of Apple’s orders. Some of the company’s plans are also detailed to improve existing products. The problem? We have been with folding phones on the table for years, and they still do not be mature. Apple’s plan. Rumors are increasingly lighter, and everything indicates that in the first half of 2026 the company will make its folding iPhone known to the world. Apple would like to lose the closest part of the hinge, to achieve a greater thickness in the ultra -laced glass sheet and improve the durability of the product. Lens Technology would be the main glass manufacturer, with Samsung Display as a screen supplier itself. Technology to create a product that aspires to be the maximum reference in its territory. A little mature market. Foldables still do not democratize today. The price might seem the main reason, but we are strict, a Galaxy Z Flip6 it costs practically the same as a Galaxy S25+ And less than a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The problem of folding, despite the fact that manufacturers promise thousands of folds, is that they continue to throw durability doubts. A quick walk by Reddit shows Samsung mobile problems, Huawei either Xiaomi. In fact, in my own particular case I have suffered the wear and tear of the occasional folding … in just one week of use. A Chinese crown. If they ask you who is the king of folding phones, Samsung may come to mind, but it is not. Huawei It is, by far, the most folding company sells worldwide, well above Samsung, Honor and Motorola. The success of its folding range in China will not be easy to replicate for Apple, who may seek to settle in Europe as the main reference and popularize this telephone concept. Despite these figures, the folding market is still a minority. The question is whether Apple’s proposal will continue to be a niche product or if it will make the turns change.
