Huawei's application for the OSTA trademark raises reports of a new smartphone brand

ZTE has officially rejected reports regarding plans to transfer its smartphone manufacturing division into a joint venture with a major internet company and local state investors. These rumors arose amid online speculation pointing to ByteDance as a potential partner.

ZTE informed The Paper on November 3 that such reports seriously diverge from the actual situation and stated its right to file a lawsuit.

According to published data, the alleged proposal involved creating a new enterprise by packaging ZTE's operational activities in the mobile phone sector. Although the media report did not name the internet company, discussions on social networks suggested ByteDance as a likely participant.

It is worth noting that these two companies are already collaborating on the development of AI-powered smartphones. Together they released the Nubia NaviX Ultra model on September 16, which features the Doubao Phone Assistant. This device includes system-level AI agents designed to perform tasks across various applications.

Samsung recently released a series of foldable smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Fold 8 Ultra, and Flip 8. The company has now introduced the Samsung W27 model in the Chinese market. The Samsung W27 will be sold alongside other foldable variants in China.

According to media reports, the Samsung W27 was developed based on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. Furthermore, the company has decided not to release any additional variants for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8 for now.

A few days before the announcement of the Samsung W27, known leaks from tipster Evan Blass and Ice Universe were published in image form.

The Samsung W27 smartphone is equipped with a 6.5-inch external display and an 8-inch internal display. It features a 5000 mAh battery and uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

The main camera of the Samsung W27 has a resolution of 200 MP and also includes a secondary camera and a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle lens. Additionally, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens is installed. A 10 MP camera is provided for selfies on both the external and internal displays.

The weight of the Samsung W27 is 215 grams. The device's design is original; it is presented in red and blue panel colors with gold accents. A free protective magnetic case and a 45W charger are also provided upon purchase.

The Samsung W27 is available in various memory configurations. The starting price in China is set at 18,999 Chinese yuan, which is approximately equivalent to 2,71,356 rupees. It should be noted that the starting price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra in India is 1,99,999 rupees. While the Indian version offers 12 GB of RAM, the Chinese version is equipped with 16 GB of RAM.

Xiaomi has registered the trademark 'XIAOMI SU9 LUX' for vehicles, confirming reports about the development of a larger executive sedan.

According to the trademark registration data, the application was filed on February 13, and the registration announcement was made on September 7; protection for this mark will be valid until September 2036.

Chinese automotive publications link this name to a derivative of the SU7 model with an extended wheelbase, which was previously called SU7L. According to road test reports, the car features a longer body, additional space behind the front seats, and signs of rear-wheel steering.

This vehicle is expected to target buyers who require more space for rear passengers and enhanced comfort compared to the standard SU7 model. Xiaomi has not yet officially announced the name, technical specifications, or release date of the SU9 LUX model.
