We’ve heard rumours that have said Chinese manufacturer, Huawei, will be the next Nexus smartphone manufacturer, and today we get another rumour to strengthen the case for that. Specifically, the rumour comes from Weibo page of Chinese analyst firm, Pan Jiutang, and alleges that this Huawei Nexus smartphone will have a 5.7-inch Quad HD display and be powered by a Snapdragon 810 processor.
Both of these things would seem very logical for a 2015 flagship device, however a few things stick out like a sore thumb. Huawei so far has not favoured Quad HD displays, waving them off and using 1080p displays instead. Furthermore, Huawei likes to use its own Kirin processors, and these two facts suggest that either Google has demanded that these parts be used in the manufacture of said Nexus device, or the rumour could be untrue. Or maybe it’s somewhere inbetween these two options. Whatever is the truth, Google I/O isn’t too far away now, so perhaps we’ll find out something there in a month’s time.

Ericsson Extends Patent Lawsuit Against Apple to Europe
Ericsson has filed lawsuits against Apple in Germany, United Kingdom and the Netherlands after failing to reach a global licensing agreement with the company over both standard-essential and non-standardized patents.
Ericsson claims that Apple continues to sell the iPhone, iPad and other products that infringe upon its patented technologies, some related to 2G and 4G LTE standards, even though its licensing agreement expired in January.
Ericsson has been attempting to license its standard-essential patents with Apple on terms that are fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND), but the two companies have failed to reach an agreement following over two years of negotiations. Unable to resolve the situation outside of the courtroom, Ericsson has since filed patent lawsuits against the iPhone maker in the United States, and now Europe, for mediation by the courts.
“Apple continues to profit from Ericsson’s technology without having a valid license in place,” said Kasim Alfalahi, Chief Intellectual Property Officer at Ericsson. “Our technology is used in many features and functionality of today’s communication devices. We are confident the courts in Germany, the UK and the Netherlands will be able to help us resolve this matter in a fair manner.”
Ericsson, the world’s largest provider of mobile network equipment, originally filed two complaints with the U.S. International Trade Commission and seven complaints with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against Apple earlier this year. In late March, the ITC agreed to investigate the patent infringement claims, involving 41 wireless-related patents.
Apple originally filed suit against Ericsson in January, arguing that it was demanding excessive royalties for patents not essential to LTE standards. Ericsson, which holds over 35,000 patents, countersued in a Texas courtroom just hours later, seeking an estimated $250 million to $750 million in royalties per year for Apple to continue licensing its patented wireless technologies.
Nintendo’s first of many mobile games is coming this year
Nintendo has revealed some new details about its plan to develop mobile games. Most notably, its first smartphone title will come out later this year, and it’s hoping to release four more before March 2017. That might sound fairly conservative — five apps in just under two years isn’t a particularly aggressive strategy. But Nintendo believes it’s paramount that it takes a considered approach. “When we aim to make each title a hit, and because we want to thoroughly operate every one of them for a significant amount of time after their releases, this is not a small number at all,” Nintendo chief Satoru Iwata said.
In an earnings briefing, he said the company’s chances of success were “quite low” unless the games maintain Nintendo’s normal level of quality. Although the console maker pioneered touch-based gameplay with the Nintendo DS, it understands that simply porting those experiences won’t be enough. To succeed, Iwata said the company will be “carefully” selecting franchises and characters to develop into smartphone games. He also emphasized that mobile will become a core “pillar” of Nintendo’s business. “If we did not aim to achieve a significant result, it would be meaningless for us to do it at all.”

This $8.6 million mansion is actually a giant Faraday cage
If you’ve ever wanted to live in a fancy Faraday cage, here’s your chance. An $8.6 million condo for sale in San Francisco has walls thickly covered in semiconductive graphite paint, floors connected to the walls with wire tape, and walls connected to the ceilings with wire strips. Oh, and its windows are coated with EMF-blocking polymer. All these are courtesy of the people who snapped up the condo, which was then a fixer-upper, back in 2007. They basically wrapped the whole place in aluminum foil-like substance in order to keep out any EMF radiation emitted by phones, GPS devices, WiFi routers and other electronics.
Unless those alterations weren’t done properly, you can forget making calls from inside the three-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom property. After all, the owners specifically cite a 2011 World Health Organization study that said cell phone radiation was a possible carcinogen as the reason for their modifications. The topic’s still controversial to this day, but the WHO and the National Cancer Institute have since announced that there’s still no solid evidence that radiation from phones causes cancer. Now, while the condo’s looking more and more like a home fit for paranoid folks, Faraday cages do have benefits, such as keeping out high-tech thieves and spies.

Xiaomi not slowing down, to start selling phones in Brazil in the next three months
Xiaomi has been very active in India lately, but the Chinese powerhouse is now looking to open shop in the first country outside of Asia, Brazil.
Over the past year, Xiaomi made the jump to its first markets outside China, and is now operating in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and India. In India, Xiaomi launched in July 2014, and it soon managed to become an established name in the cutthroat market, having sold a million devices in the first six months.
- Xiaomi’s 2015 roadmap leaks out, details four upcoming devices
- Xiaomi launches the high-end Mi Note Pro, and it’s cheaper than anticipated
- Xiaomi Mi 4i closer look: picture gallery and videos
- Xiaomi Mi 4i official: 5-inch Full HD, Snapdragon 615 for just $200
- (Update: it’s a Guinness World Record) Xiaomi just sold 2.11 million smartphones in 12 hours
Now the $46 billion company is looking towards another large, dynamic market: Brazil. Talking to the press in Taiwan, Hugo Barra (a native of Brazil) said Xiaomi will begin selling its affordable devices in Brazil within three months. The company has had an office in Sao Paulo since August, but now it’s finally ready to open up shop in earnest.
Because Brazil has very high import tariffs for electronics, Xiaomi may even begin manufacturing some of its device in the country, said Barra.
“You cannot be in business in Brazil without manufacturing locally because you cannot import phones… the import tax is too high. The system is designed to force everybody to manufacture locally, so we have to abide by the system,” Xiaomi’s head of global expansion said.
With the Mi Note, Xiaomi is going upscale
By manufacturing devices in Brazil, Xiaomi would follow in the tracks of other mobile giants that operate factories in the South American country, with LG and Motorola being some of the best known examples. Xiaomi’s manufacturing partner, Foxconn, also has large phone factories there. According to Barra, Xiaomi could even prioritize Brazil manufacturing over India.
Brazil is one of the key markets that Xiaomi announced it would target first as part of its global expansion. Other countries on the list are Turkey, Russia, and Mexico.
Xiaomi is also establishing a presence in the US, through an accessories store, though the company said it’s not yet ready to sell smartphones here. Developed markets pose different challenges to Xiaomi, with rich and established competitors, as well as stringent IP legislation seen as the biggest obstacles.
Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge receiving firmware update, said to fix the RAM management issues
It’s been common knowledge that the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge smartphones have suffered from RAM management issues that affect the handsets performance when users attempt to multitask. Samsung acknowledged the bug a while ago, and now we have news that the Korean company is in the process of pushing out a firmware update to rectify the problem.
The incoming update has build number G920FXXU1AODG and is around 138MB in size. It was first noticed on the Vodafone network in Italy for the Galaxy S6, although it has been reported that the Galaxy S6 edge is also receiving the update on the Vodafone network in the UK. 
As you can see in the image above, the changelog is a little vague but hopefully it will fix the RAM management issues causing the lag. While the update has only been noticed on the Vodafone network in the Italy and the UK so far, I’m sure it won’t be long until a more extensive roll-out is commenced. If you’ve received the OTA on your Galaxy S6/S6 edge, let us know in the comments if the update has improved your handset’s performance.

When Nintendo announced that they had partnered with DeNA to make mobile games, we got a bit excited, until they went silent for awhile. Well, it’s time to get excited again after Nintendo president Satoru Iwata confirmed that Nintendo will make 5 mobile games by March 2017. Sure, that might seem like a long time away, but unless Nintendo releases all the games right before March 2017, we’ll roughly be getting a new game every 5-6 months. We’ll be stoked as soon as one game is released.
If that’s not enough to get you excited, then you might be happy to know that the producer who worked on releasing Mario Kart DS/Wii/7/8 will be heading up Nintendo’s smartphone development, a sure sign that Nintendo is actually pretty serious about its smartphone endeavor. Mario Kart on Android anyone?

Well, that was a weird title to write. If you’ve ever heard of Corbin Davenport, then you’ll know he’s known for all sorts of Android Wear wizardry, like getting Windows 95 running on his Samsung Gear Live or running a Gameboy emulator to play Pokemon, also on a Gear Live. This time, it’s a little less mainstream, at least, not in the last 28 years – Davenport has managed to get Macintosh II running on Android Wear, and he’s made a video to show you what it looks like:
Considering I hadn’t been born when Macintosh II was released, it’s even more amazing that something that was considered the cutting edge of technology back then can now be run on a device that’s strapped to our wrist. Not that you’d want to use Macintosh II everyday though – from the looks of it, the UI is much too small to be usable, but it’s always cool to see what legacy software we have that will run on our new devices.

Bloomberg: Google improving controls for Android app permissions soon
It’s always a little concerning when a battery management app needs access to your location and contacts. According to Bloomberg, Google’s poised to ease that anxiety by improving control over what apps can access in Android. According to its sources, an update to the operating system — possibly coming ant Google’s I/O event this month — would allow users to switch off access to things individually, similar to how app management in Facebook works. Features like those described were discovered in Android, hidden, as far back as 2013. If you’re using one of Android’s most famous forks, you’ve had them since 2011. Google eventually removed the hidden controls, perhaps to prevent incomplete tools from interfering with apps not primed for the change, but now it seems they’re ready for prime time. How will your torch cope without knowing all your friends’ names, and where you are? We’ll just have to wait and see.
