China’s Gen Z investors are turning fund managers into social media stars

On a fan community page on Chinese social media platform Weibo, hundreds of users have posted comments and pictures, some covered in little red hearts, to express their admiration for a star they affectionately call Kun Kun. “Kun Kun flies bravely, iKun will always follow him; Kun Kun never gets old, and will remain a blue-chip till the end,” some users wrote alongside the picture. “Kun Kun,” whose full name is Zhang Kun, is neither a pop star nor actor. Instead, he is one of China’s most prominent fund managers who oversees around 120 billion yuan ($18.6 billion) in assets at E Fund Management, an established Chinese asset management firm. Zhang’s followers, who label themselves “iKun,” (“i” is a homophone for the Chinese word love), have also created accounts on Weibo posing as his “global fan clubs.” “Kun Kun, I would like to accompany you for many, many years,” a follower wrote. “Let’s witness both the bull and bear markets, but still return with young hearts.” ...

Graphene Batteries for Smartphones Aren’t Arriving in 2020; Huawei’s P40 Pro Won’t Have One

Graphene batteries provide a boatload of benefits over their lithium-ion counterparts, and where all the innovation seems to happen for smartphones, it looks like battery innovation was kept out of the conversation. Sadly, this looks to be the case for 2020 too, as previously, the Huawei P40 Pro was rumored to feature such a battery, but it doesn’t look like that will be happening.

Huawei France’s Twitter Account Deleted a Tweet, Stating That Graphene Batteries Being a Part of the P40 Pro is Just a Rumor

Some time back, Huawei France’s Twitter account shared an image, stating that the P40 Pro would feature a graphene battery. It didn’t take long for the tweet to get deleted, followed by an official statement that this was simply a rumor and should be treated as such. Graphene batteries provide a lot of benefits when compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries, and we’ll be highlighting those differences in a separate post, so if you want to read that, do let us know down in the comments.

For now, the dream for a lot of you seeing graphene batteries fueling smartphones in 2020 has been shattered, but there’s still hope. Samsung has a battery manufacturing division, with rumors stating that the company might use a graphene battery in its Galaxy S12 family, assuming that’s what the flagship smartphone range of 2021 is actually called. Continuous research has also shown that thanks to its unique properties, graphene can be used to improve energy storage while increasing the charging rate.


In short, graphene batteries will be able to charge faster, while featuring reduced thickness. The only gripe is that we might not see such a development next year. For some of you that are looking forward to upgrading to a flagship in 2020, it might be difficult waiting this long. Fortunately, there are other things to look forward to about the Huawei P40 Pro, such as its powerful Kirin 990 SoC, followed by its penta-lens camera system that’s rumored to include a 10x optical zoom periscope unit.

Just because graphene batteries aren’t going to be a part of smartphones in 2020 doesn’t mean we can’t look forward to other innovations.

Vivo X30 Pro 5G camera samples showcase vivid zoom photos including 60X zoom

Vivo  finally took the wraps off the X30 models earlier this month with both models having spectacular features that distinguish it from the pack. The  Vivo X30 Pro  5G is the high-end variant and even though the 5G connectivity may be the biggest feature onboard, the device comes with an impressive camera setup including a periscope lens. We have now laid our hands on a couple of camera samples which showcases the prowess of the zoom levels on the periscope camera on the device. "> "> Vivo X30 Pro 5X zoom The first picture highlights a building at some distance which is barely visible without zooming. The camera sample at 5X zoom, 10X zoom, 20X zoom and 60X zoom. What makes this amazing is the lack of photographic noise on the samples as the object is zoom closer. Even though the 60X zoom sample is a little blurry, the text on the wall of the building can be seen clearly. "> Vivo X30 Pro 10X zoom
