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.” ...

VIVO patents several quad punch-hole smartphone designs

The race to full-screen smartphone displays has given us a number of workarounds from notches to pop-up and rotating cameras and punch holes. Manufacturers will continue to experiment until they can get over the hump and the latest example is a patent from vivo for a quad punch-hole smartphone.

The patent unearthed by Tigermobiles was granted by the CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) and reveals a total of three different designs that all sport multiple camera cutouts on the display.

The first design positions four front-facing cameras in each corner of the screen, reminiscent of the Amazon Fire Phone. We also see two versions with dual cutouts in the top corners. The first one appears to have larger cutouts for the cameras with a black bar between them while the second design opts for smaller cutouts that are integrated with the display. We also get a look at the back of the device which appears to feature a quad-camera setup.

We don’t have a clear picture of what vivo is aiming to do with these multiple camera cutouts apart from adding varying lenses. As usual, when dealing with patents, it’s not promised that these devices will make it to the market any time soon. We’ll certainly be on the lookout for more news on vivo’s quad punch hole ambitions.

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
