Xiaomi is looking to raise up to $6.1 billion in Hong Kong IPO

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Xiaomi-1024x722.jpg" /> After postponing Shanghai IPO, Xiaomi today confirmed that it will list in Hong Kong first offering a total of 2,179,585,000 Shares (subject to the Over-allotment Option), comprising initially 108,980,000 Hong Kong Offer Shares (subject to adjustment) and 2,070,605,000 International Offer Shares (subject to adjustment and the Over-allotment Option). The offer price range is from HK$17 to HK$22 per share, so the company could raise anywhere between US$ 4.72 billion and US$ 6.1 billion. Even though this is less than $10 billion, which Xiaomi was reportedly hoping to achieve a few weeks ago, this would still make it the world's biggest initial public offering (IPO) in nearly two years. Xiaomi said that it intends to use the proceeds from the offering for the following purposes: Approximately 30% for research and development as well as other efforts to develop the Company’s core in-house products, including smartphones, smart TVs, laptops, AI speakers and smart routers; Approximately 30% for investments to expand and strengthen the Company’s ecosystem primarily in the fields of IoT and lifestyle products and mobile internet services, including AI; Approximately 30% for global expansion, including but not limited to hiring local teams across business functions and investing in its retail partners; and Approximately 10% for working capital ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Y1f83UepdgA:vd4MJ9RhdQ4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Y1f83UepdgA:vd4MJ9RhdQ4:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=Y1f83UepdgA:vd4MJ9RhdQ4:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Y1f83UepdgA:vd4MJ9RhdQ4:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=Y1f83UepdgA:vd4MJ9RhdQ4:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=Y1f83UepdgA:vd4MJ9RhdQ4:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/Y1f83UepdgA" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/256671/xiaomi-ipo-usd-6-billion-usd.html">Read Here»</a>

TSMC said to make 7nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC starting from 2018-end

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Qualcomm-Snapdragon--1024x683.jpg" /> Snapdragon 845 10nm SoC manufactured on second generation 10LPP process from Samsung was introduced back in December last year. Earlier reports said that TSMC will be making the 7nm (FinFET) chips for the Snapdragon 855 SoC, now new report corroborates this, and also says that the production will start by the end of 2018 or early 2019. MediaTek's latest Helio M70 5G Modem is also based on TSMC's 7nm FinFET tech.  Earlier this year Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon X24 as the world’s first 7nm LTE modem with up to 2Gbps download speeds as the successor of the Snapdragon X20. The Snapdragon 855 SoC will likely use this modem. Earlier report said that Qualcomm is going with TSMC since the fab uses normal steppers while Samsung is going with 7nm EUV lithography tech which is riskier, and might not be ready on time. Samsung recently announced that is working on 7LPP (Low Power Plus) with EUV (extreme ultra violet) lithography technology for smartphones that is targeted for initial production in the second half of 2018, but it will be risk production, and it might take up to one year to transition to full volume production. This is probably the reason Qualcomm decided to go with TSMC's FinFET tech over Samsung's EUV tech. The Snapdragon 855 SoC is expected to be introduced by the ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=wIRsVW9R3R8:FB33T7zW19E:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=wIRsVW9R3R8:FB33T7zW19E:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=wIRsVW9R3R8:FB33T7zW19E:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=wIRsVW9R3R8:FB33T7zW19E:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=wIRsVW9R3R8:FB33T7zW19E:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=wIRsVW9R3R8:FB33T7zW19E:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/wIRsVW9R3R8" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/256640/qualcomm-snapdragon-855-tsmc-7nm.html">Read Here»</a>

Facebook Messenger will now automatically translate Spanish messages to English

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Facebook-Messenger-1024x635.jpeg" /> Facebook Messenger can now translate Spanish messages to English (and vice versa). Facebook debuted the feature called M's translation suggestions at F8 in May, but that was Facebook's new tools for businesses and used to only work for chats between buyers and sellers in Marketplace. Starting today, you will see "Translate to English/Spanish" module pop up when someone messages you in either language.  The first time you tap on the module, M will ask if you'd like to auto-translate all the messages you receive from friends in the future. Meaning that it will be an opt-in for the auto-translation for every conversation, but you can also opt out anytime. However, the feature is pretty limited, Facebook also said that it would expand its capabilities so that it can also translate other languages and will also roll out in other countries. This feature will eliminate the need for switching between Messenger and translator app to know the actual meaning of the message received.

Google Photos v3.23 hints at adjustable bokeh effect, lower saved photo quality, and more

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Google-Photos-e1517380077601.jpg" /> Google is rolling out a new update to the Photos app which brings the version to V3.23 and there are no immediate changes right off the bat, but there are many features lying behind the screen one among which is the ability to apply smooth bokeh effects of portrait mode, and we can even control the intensity of the blur. It also includes a new option to downgrade your already backed-up photos to high quality so you can get back some of that cloud storage. The custom adjustments for portrait mode lets users control how much defocus is applied to the background. There will be two sliders; one for setting the blur intensity and one for defining how shallow the depth of field will be. However, it is unclear if the feature will be applicable to regular shots after they were taken. Google Photos offers unlimited photo storage, however, once you reach the point of filling the storage, Google suggests you buy more, but that's about to change. Google is adding a feature to Photos that will make it possible to downgrade images from original to high quality, so you can now reclaim the storage space. Google at the I/O 2018 announced AI-based color pop suggestions that will automatically ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ZYbCugwtszg:85MNwVrKF2k:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/ZYbCugwtszg" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/256627/google-photos-3-23-adjustable-bokeh-effect-lower-saved-photo-quality.html">Read Here»</a>

<img alt="" src="http://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Digital-Key-Release-1.0-standard-1024x682.jpeg" /> Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC), which is a mix of major smartphone and automotive brands has announced the Digital Key Release 1.0 standard that will let you download a virtual key that can unlock your vehicle, start the engine and even share access with other drivers. Good thing is that this technology keeps its primary focus on security more than anything else. The Digital Key specification can create a robust ecosystem around interoperable digital key use cases, including allowing drivers to lock, unlock, start the engine, and share access to their car directly from their smartphones. This Release 1.0 provides a generalized deployment method that allows vehicle OEMs to securely transfer a digital key implementation to a smart device, using an existing Trusted Service Manager (TSM) infrastructure. CCC has also mentioned that it started its work on the Digital Key Release 2.0 specification. This specification is under development in collaboration between CCC’s charter member companies including Apple, Audi, BMW, General Motors, HYUNDAI, LG Electronics, Panasonic, Samsung, and Volkswagen, and core members including ALPS ELECTRIC, Continental Automotive GmbH, DENSO, Gemalto, NXP, and Qualcomm Incorporated. The Release 2.0 is targetting to complete the work by Q1 2019 and it will provide a standardized authentication protocol between the vehicle and ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=1pKVt8dSrKk:g5be6lAZsSY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=1pKVt8dSrKk:g5be6lAZsSY:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=1pKVt8dSrKk:g5be6lAZsSY:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=1pKVt8dSrKk:g5be6lAZsSY:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=1pKVt8dSrKk:g5be6lAZsSY:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=1pKVt8dSrKk:g5be6lAZsSY:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/1pKVt8dSrKk" width="1" /><br /> <a href="http://www.fonearena.com/blog/256591/apple-audi-bmw-lg-samsung-digital-key-standard.html">Read Here»</a>
