Vivo teases absurd 60W wireless charging for its APEX 2020 Concept Phone

-

Chinese OEM Vivo was expected to showcase its APEX 2020 concept smartphone at the Mobile World Congress trade show this year. However, the trade show was canceled due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and therefore, the APEX 2020 announcement was delayed. Although Vivo had pulled out of the event before it was officially canceled, the company had already gone ahead and set up advertisements for the concept smartphone around the venue in Barcelona. Thanks to this, we got our first look at the device late last week and we learned that the device will feature a gimbal-like stabilization technology on the primary 48MP camera and 5-7.5x optical zoom on the secondary camera. Now, just a day ahead of the official announcement, Vivo has released a teaser for the APEX 2020 concept on Weibo, revealing another interesting detail about the device.

Vivo APEX 2020 60W wireless charging

According to the post in question, the Vivo APEX 2020 concept will be officially revealed tomorrow and it will feature ultra-fast flash wireless charging. While the post doesn’t highlight the wattage of the fast charging technology on the device, the attached poster has a graphic that spells out 60W. This leads us to believe that the APEX 2020 concept will feature 60W fast wireless charging, something that we haven’t seen on any previous smartphone.

However, given that the APEX 2020 is a concept smartphone, the 60W fast wireless technology is probably not close to commercialization in mass-market devices. Another issue that plagues wireless charging is that it generates a lot of heat and this issue will, most likely, amplify manyfold on the APEX 2020 concept as it’s transferring significantly more power than any other smartphone wireless charging technology out there. This is probably the reason why the technology is currently being tested on a concept smartphone. Nonetheless, it will be quite interesting to see how Vivo managed to achieve such a feat on the APEX 2020 and how it will translate to real-world use.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
