Nvidia will soon resume sales of its AI chips in China

Phone Arena15-07-2025
As we mentioned back in April, the U.S. might have shot itself in the foot by blocking Nvidia from selling its GPU chips, which are used as AI accelerators in China. This part of the story is easy to understand since it is well known that the U.S. seeks to prevent China from obtaining advanced chips amid concerns that they will be used to improve the country's military. But this ban resulted in Huawei receiving more orders inside China for its Ascend series of AI accelerators. Many of these sales would have gone to Nvidia except for the fact that the U.S. company, as noted, is banned from selling its GPUs in China. But in a statement released last night, Nvidia, the world's most valuable publicly traded company, says that it is filing applications with the U.S. government to resume shipping its H20 chips to China. The company expects to receive the licenses soon.
The H20 chips that Nvidia hopes to sell in China are the most capable it can sell in the country. That is because of laws enacted by both President Donald Trump during his first term, and President Joe Biden. These chips are not as powerful as Nvidia's GPUs sold outside China.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is currently in Beijing and set to speak during an event being held in the city tomorrow. The company released a statement that says, "The U.S. government has assured Nvidia that licenses will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon." Huang has said that Nvidia could lose its position as a global AI leader if it remains unable to sell its chips in China.
A report published today says that Chinese companies are rushing to place orders for Nvidia's GPU. These orders will have to be sent to the U.S. government for approval. Among Chinese firms reportedly getting ready to submit orders are TikTok parent ByteDance and Chinese conglomerate Tencent. For the fiscal year ended January 26th, 2025, Nvidia took in $17 billion in revenue from China, equivalent to 13% of the company's global sales.
Chinese tech companies still favor Nvidia's computing platform, known as CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). CUDA allows developers to take advantage of the parallel processing used by Nvidia's GPUs. This type of processing allows multiple tasks to be handled simultaneously while using multiple cores. It is critical for AI, where billions and trillions of operations are handled at the same time.
Investors are reacting to this new by pushing Nvidia's shares up 3.98% to $170.60. The company is now worth $4.16 trillion dollars.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 review

Bigger displays and more battery in a slimmer body - reads like a promising summary of the upgrades that the Galaxy Z Flip7 brings. Samsung's better clamshell for 2025 is another one of those refreshes that won't shake up the industry, but should be guaranteed to keep sales high. For the first time in the lineup, there are two Flips this year, and the regular Z Flip7 is joined by a Z Flip7 FE. We'll be reviewing that more affordable model in due time, but until then you can have a look at the Z Flip6's pages - the FE isn't a whole lot different. Now back to the premium Z Flip7. For starters, the cover display cutout is gone - the new model's larger 4.1-inch outer screen stretches across the entire top panel edge to edge. About time. On the inside, the foldable display has grown too - less obviously in diagonal (6.7" to 6.9"), and a bit more tangibly in width. Samsung's also managed to up the battery capacity - 4,300mAh isn't huge but it's nearly as much as the way larger Z Fold7 gets. And all that has been fitted in a body that's thinner than the older model and weighs as much - sure, it's wider, but something had to give. The Z Flip7 falls off the Snapdragon train and is powered by an Exynos 2500 instead - that's bound to trouble comment section warriors. Perhaps the 256GB base storage will calm them down - no more 128GB version. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 specs at a glance: Body: 166.7x75.2x6.5mm (unfolded), 85.5x75.2x13.7mm (folded), 188g; glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP48 dust and water resistant (dust > 1mm; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), Armor aluminum frame. 166.7x75.2x6.5mm (unfolded), 85.5x75.2x13.7mm (folded), 188g; glass back (Gorilla Glass Victus 2), aluminum frame; IP48 dust and water resistant (dust > 1mm; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min), Armor aluminum frame.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge to fix its predecessor's main issue while being even thinner

Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge in May, and there have been many rumors since claiming that next year, the Galaxy S26 Edge will replace the Plus model in Samsung's lineup, arriving alongside the S26 and S26 Ultra in January. Today, a new rumor from prolific Chinese leaker Ice Universe tells us to expect some interesting changes from the next Edge. Namely, it's said to be even thinner than its 5.8mm predecessor, while also packing a larger battery. The bigger cell will be made possible by the use of "new battery material technology", which may instantly make you think Si/C, and sure, it could be that, but it also may not, we'll have to wait and see. Either way, it's good to hear that Samsung is working on alleviating the main issue with the S25 Edge in its successor - the available device's 3,900 mAh battery sure does enable it to be as thin as it is, but it obviously doesn't make it a very reliable device in day-to-day use.
