New flagship debuted with the most powerful chipset on the market
RedMagic 10S Pro+ | Image credit: Nubia Chinese companies launch some incredible phones that have little to no chance to be introduced in the United States. It's due to these companies that our smartphones are starting to pack bigger batteries, while keeping their chassis slim and compact. Nubia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chinese giant ZTE, is one of the few brands that are still launching so-called 'gaming flagships.' These niche devices are usually more powerful than typical flagships because they are supposed to be mainly used for gaming, an activity that requires powerful hardware. RedMagic, Nubia's main lineup of flagships, is bringing yet another duo of extremely powerful gaming phones, 10S Pro and 10S Pro+. Both phones are now available for purchase in China and are expected to go global on June 6, so in less than two weeks. RedMagic 10S Pro | Image credit: Nubia As the title says, both RedMagic 10S Pro and 10S Pro+ are equipped with Qualcomm's most powerful chipset to date, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Leading Edition. Unlike the regular version of the chip, the Leading Edition has an overclocked prime Oryon CPU core running at 4.47GHz and a GPU (graphics processing unit) that runs at 1.2GHz. Just for reference, Samsung is using the same version of the chipset inside its Galaxy S25 that's one of the phones' main selling points, there's something else that make the RedMagic 10S Pro and 10S Pro+ really interesting for gamers. Both flagships come with built-in Windows PC game emulators, which can run Steam and Epic Games launchers. According to Nubia, its new phones provide users with playable frame rates while emulating old AAA games. In order for the frames to remain stable and the phone cool enough, Nubia included an ICE-X Cooling System, which uses liquid metal and active air cooling.

Omdia: Nokia, ZTE, and Ericsson Lead in Private 5G – The Key Enterprise 5G Monetization Opportunity
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Omdia's latest competitive assessment of nine end-to-end private 5G network infrastructure vendors has identified Nokia, ZTE, and Ericsson as the top three leaders in this evolving market. The evaluation reflects the vendors' maturity, market commitment, and ability to deliver full-stack solutions tailored to enterprise needs across vertical sectors. Private 5G networks are evolving from pure connectivity offerings into integrated solutions that address complex vertical markets. While early commitment to the market has often translated into a clear market advantage and product maturity, the ground under private networks is shifting as enterprise needs evolve and new opportunities emerge. Choosing the right bets and strategic directions - whether creating a private 5G plus Wi-Fi offering, tailoring products to mission-critical networks or specific sub-verticals or building an edge-plus AI story - is paramount for continuous success. The private 5G market has presented significant challenges for vendors and service providers. Attempts to create tier 2 and 3 distributor models failed. Vendors now recognize that private networks are highly specialized and require a few focused partners – not a wide distribution channel – to drive market growth. Those that did not bridge the gap between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) also struggled to achieve results. Success in this space requires the alignment of both IT and OT from the outset. 'While everyone is talking about enterprises as the big opportunity for 5G, those active in private networks are making the hard yards to turn a marketing message into actual revenues,' says Pablo Tomasi, Principal Analyst Private Networks and Enterprise 5G at Omdia. 'Private networks provide an opportunity for vendors and partners to pursue rational adjacencies beyond the traditional connectivity play. Nokia and ZTE for example, offer industrial applications and integration capabilities to deliver industry 4.0. Ericsson and Celona are addressing indoor coverage challenges through neutral host networks. Huawei Enterprise Wireless is evolving railway operations through wide area critical network deployments,' adds Tomasi. 'These findings reflect how the private 5G market is maturing into a solution-driven, vertical-focused space,' concludes Tomasi. ABOUT OMDIA Omdia, part of Informa TechTarget, Inc.

President Paper Tiger: Trump earns a reputation for backing down under pressure
In his first term as president, Donald Trump repeatedly backed down in confrontations with China, on everything from currency manipulation to ZTE to the 'One China' policy. It reached a point where China's state-run media, mocking the American president as a paper tiger, ran a headline in 2017 that read, 'Trump slaps self in face, again.' In his second term, it's happening again. Georgetown University professor Abraham Newman wrote a great piece for MSNBC on the Republican scaling back his trade tariffs on China this week, noting that the White House's celebrations of the developments aren't quite in line with reality. While the U.S. did avoid a major economic calamity, this is not a deal. The U.S. blinked. ... Far from some diplomatic coup, the U.S. climb down reflects the economic risks of maintaining such high tariffs. Activity at West Coast ports had slowed to levels not seen since the pandemic. News from the ports was mirrored in reports of layoffs and bankruptcies among small businesses. Just as bond markets had forced the administration's hand in April, when it had imposed extreme tariffs against many allies, cutting off trade flows with China had significantly raised the chance of a recession. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers came to the same conclusion, telling CNN, 'I think it's very clear that it's President Trump who blinked.' It was hardly the first time. After insisting his international trade tariffs were 'here to stay' and would 'never change,' Trump also caved around this time a month ago in response to unsettling developments in the bond market. Two weeks later, The New York Times published a report with a memorable opening: 'After weeks of bluster and escalation, President Trump blinked. Then he blinked again. And again.' As a substantive matter, there's an obvious problem when observers — everyone from trading partners to business leaders to foreign officials — don't know what to expect from an erratic and amateurish president who routinely folds under pressure. But as a political matter, there are also consequences when an American president earns a reputation for weakness. A Politico report published over the weekend summarized: President Donald Trump campaigned as a leader who would 'never give in,' 'never give up,' 'never back down,' not to mention one who promised to 'NEVER QUIT,' 'NEVER BEND,' 'NEVER BREAK,' and 'NEVER YIELD.' And yet in recent days, Trump and his administration officials have done nearly all of those things on any number of issues, foreign and domestic. This was published before Trump caved on Chinese trade tariffs. Last month, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters, in reference to trade tariffs, 'President Trump has a spine of steel, and he will not break.' Literally the next day, Trump folded — before caving again in the days and weeks that follow. For all of the Republican's chest-thumping and tough-guy bravado, the president's weakness is increasingly undeniable. This article was originally published on

Malaysia's 5G rollout: Progress, benefit & future challenges
MALAYSIA is making significant strides in its 5G network roll-out, positioning itself as a regional leader in next-generation connectivity. As of December last year, the country's 5G coverage reached 82.4% of populated areas, a notable increase from 68.8% in August 2023. Public adoption of 5G services has surged, with user penetration rising to 53.35% by the end of 2024, more than doubling from 24.6% the previous year. This rapid uptake reflects growing consumer confidence and the increasing availability of 5G-compatible devices. The expansion of 5G infrastructure promises numerous advantages for both consumers and businesses. In the healthcare sector, initiatives, such as the Future Health 4 All programme, are leveraging 5G to enhance digital monitoring and screening capabilities, aiming to improve patient care and accessibility. Meanwhile, on the business front, particularly for key industrial hubs such as Selangor and Johor, 5G offers opportunities to adopt advanced technologies such as automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). However, Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has noted that many SMEs have yet to fully utilise 5G's potential, indicating a need for increased awareness and support. Understanding 4G vs 5G While 4G networks were primarily designed for mobile phone use, 5G represents a significant evolution in mobile networking, offering enhanced capabilities across various sectors. One of the most notable and obvious differences is speed, where 5G is able to deliver data rates up to 20 gigabits per second (Gbps), vastly surpassing 4G's maximum of 1Gbps. Latency, or the delay before data transfer begins following an instruction, is another area where 5G outperforms 4G. While 4G networks typically experience latencies of around 30 to 70 milliseconds, 5G aims to reduce this to as low as 1 millisecond. This reduction is crucial for applications requiring real-time responsiveness, such as autonomous vehicles and remote surgeries. Additionally, 5G networks are designed to handle a significantly higher number of connected devices per square km compared to 4G, making them ideal for densely populated areas and the growing ecosystem of IoT devices, such as Selangor, Johor, Penang and other similarly dense cities. This increased capacity ensures more stable and reliable connections, even in crowded environments such as stadiums or urban centres. Progress thus far Despite the progress, the 5G rollout faces several challenges. The initial focus on urban areas has left rural regions with comparatively lower coverage. For example, as of July last year, Sarawak and Sabah had 5G coverage of 62% and 68.6%, respectively. Efforts are underway to expand infrastructure in these areas, but terrain and logistical issues pose ongoing obstacles. Additionally, the government's decision to introduce a dual-network model aims to foster competition and reduce monopolies in the telecommunications sector. U Mobile's partnership with China's Huawei and ZTE to develop Malaysia's second 5G network exemplifies this approach. As Malaysia continues to advance its 5G infrastructure, the focus will likely shift towards ensuring equitable access across all regions and encouraging industries to integrate 5G technologies into their operations. The government's commitment to expanding coverage and fostering a competitive environment sets the stage for a more connected and technologically advanced nation.
