Huawei

Huawei is another company that never rests. In this past week they’ve indeed teased the next Nova 4, Huawei’s first ever cut out camera phone, while the upcoming Huawei P30 Pro already appeared online in some leaks.

Finally, Huawei has been teasing a new smart TV that’s expected to come in the next months.

Vivo

Chinese phone maker Vivo unveiled the new Vivo NEX Dual Screen Edition this past week. The smartphone sports the same design of the original Vivo NEX at the front, but the rear is now totally changed, with a second display and three cameras above it; the pop-up camera disappeared, of course.

Samsung

Albeit it’s not a Chinese company, Samsung has been all over the news this past week. That was mostly due to the amount of renders and the leaked screen protector of the upcoming Galaxy S10 flagship phone

We’ve also learned more about the Galaxy F, what it’ll probably pack and why it’s expected to cost over $1500.

Sony

Since we’re already in South Korea, let’s end with a company from a neighboring country – Sony.

The Japanese tech giant is indeed apparently really close to unveil the next Sony Xperia ZX4, a smartphone that could pack a display with a never-seen-before 21:9 display aspect ratio.
