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.” ...

Realme 5i Set to Launch on January 6, Retailer Listing Reveals Key Specifications


Realme 5i might be priced around Rs. 13,200 mark in Vietnam

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Realme 5i packs quad rear cameras with a main 12-megapixel snapper
  • The upcoming Realme phone is powered by Snapdragon 665 SoC
  • Realme 5i will come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery

Realme has confirmed that it will officially launch the Realme 5i phone on January 6. Interestingly, the phone will be launched in Vietnam first, but there is no word when it will arrive in other markets, including India. Additionally, the phone has already been listed for registration on an e-commerce platform ahead of its official launch, revealing its alleged price and key specifications in the process. It appears that Realme 5i will debut a/rea a slightly toned-down version of the Realme 5, but it will come in two new colour options with a different design on the rear panel.

The official Realme Vietnam Facebook page has shared a poster, revealing that the Realme 5i will be launched in the country on January 6. Prior to the launch though, the Realme 5i has been listed on a Vietnamese e-commerce site, FPTShop, where the phone is currently up for registration priced at VND 4,290,000 (roughly Rs. 13,000).

The accompanying images show the phone itself in green and blue colours flaunting a subtle gradient finish on the rear panel. The rear panel's design on the Realme 5i is a stark difference from the company's signature diamond-cut design seen on the Realme 5 and Realme 5s. The specifications of Realme 5i listed on the website suggest that it will be a watered-down version of the Realme 5.

Realme 5i specifications (expected)

Talking about specifications, the listing page says that the Realme 5i will feature a 6.52-inch HD+ (720 x 1600 pixels) display with a waterdrop notch. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, although variants with a different memory configuration might be launched as well.

The phone will come equipped with a 12-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro shooter. On the front is an 8-megapixel selfie snapper. The Realme 5i will come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery and will run Android Pie with ColorOS 6.0.1 on top.
