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.” ...

OPPO is developing its own mobile chipset and it’s called the OPPO M1

OPPO is one of the biggest phone companies in the world with a product portfolio that covers all categories. The manufacturer is also a pioneer when it comes to designs and technologies. Now OPPO is taking things a step further by developing its own mobile processor called the OPPO M1.

First reported by LetsGoDigital, OPPO Mobile filed a trademark application on November 20 at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The trademark description says it is for or related to a mobile processor.

OPPO M1 Trademark

Based on this, OPPO will be joining the likes of Samsung, Huawei, Apple, and Xiaomi whom all have their own mobile processors. It has been reported that OPPO has poached several engineers from Unisoc (Spreadtrum) and MediaTek.

There are no details about the specifications of the OPPO M1 yet but there are speculations we may find out more early next year. LetGoDigital says OPPO may reveal details about the processor at MWC 2020 or at next year’s edition of Semicon China scheduled to hold in March. It is also reported that it may be much later in the year, specifically during Mobile World Congress Shanghai.

OPPO has invested a lot in research and development, so this doesn’t come as a big surprise. However, OPPO’s entry into the chip business will definitely bring big changes to its products. An in-house chip can ensure better communication between its products just as Apple’s products work better with each other.

Earlier this year, we reported that OPPO has plans to make its own smartwatch and smart audio products including headphones. With the news of the development of its own mobile SoC, things are sure to get more interesting in the near future.

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
