Going a viking on the rivals

Ericsson posted better than expected quarterly earnings on strong demand for 5G network equipment even as the coronavirus made a mess of other parts of the company.

Versal ACAP ideal for 5G

There is no doubt that Samsung is a big player in the 5G arena, both on the client and infrastructure side. Xilinx also managed to score an important 5G design win with its Xilinx Versal ACAP for worldwide 5G commercial deployments.

That will show them

Terminally stupid terrorists decided that the best way to stop people from dying from the coronavirus was to set fire to a tower serving an emergency hospital to treat people.

Focus on display and camera

TCL is a big name in TVs, and the company behind the Alcatel brand is making its way into the mobile phone arena too. They focus on the display performance, better camera setup, have a 5G phone, and use Pixelworks and its NXTVISION visual technology to improve and optimize content for its phone.

First of many

5G is a transformational technology that will change the decade and enable new scenarios as well as business models. With that in mind, Xilinx has just announced that with a few other industry players, it is building a next-generation wireless radio network to drive 5G innovation using open radio-access network (O-RAN) standards for Telefonica.

Unidentified government behind it

The daft conspiracy theory linking 5G technology is part of a coordinated disinformation campaign being created by an unknown state government.

Insane €799 and €999 pricing

It took Xiaomi more than a decade to make a camera that could challenge Apple, Huawei, and Samsung, and when it did, it doubled the price of its phone compared to last year. The Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 PRO can be preordered in Spain for the insane amounts of  €799 and €999.

All it took were stupid Brits setting fire to towers

Over the last week, dumb arsed British who had been convinced by several YouTube conspiracy videos which claimed 5G caused the coronavirus, decided to set fire to 4G towers to save themselves.

You are supposed to be journalists, so journ for goodness sake

British broadcasters are being warned that they face sanctions from the media regulator if they give airtime to bizarre claims that the coronavirus was spread by 5G.
