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 A31 Key Specifications

The OPPO A31 smartphone has 164 x 75.5mm dimensions. The diagonal measurement of the phone is 173mm which suggests that it may feature a display of around 6.5 inches. The smartphone is loaded with ColorOS 6.1.2 UI. It is not known whether the phone will ship with Android 10 or Android 9 Pie OS. The device is backed by a 4,100mAh battery that can be fueled by a 5V/2A charger. Other details of the phone are currently under the wraps.

There is no word on the launch date of the OPPO A31 smartphone. Probably, it could be one of the first OPPO phones to break cover this year.

In related news, as mentioned in the first para, the CPH2015 was also certified by an Indonesian certification body. The listing revealed that CPH2015 has OPPO Reno S moniker. It could be an error since the Reno S has been speculated to arrive as a high-end phone powered by Snapdragon 855+ mobile platform and it is also rumored to be equipped with 64-megapixel quad rear cameras and 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 Flash Charge technology.
