Huawei nova 3 Series Specially Designed for the Youth-Exclusive Interview with Manager, Huawei Consumer Business Group

Blueking Wang

Huawei, the world’s second largest Smartphone manufacturer, recently launched the new nova 3 series in Pakistan for the first time, which included the nova 3 and the nova 3i.

Huawei Nova 3 Series

Globally, Huawei’s market share stood at 15.8 % in Q2 2018 and was also ranked at number 2 as a global smartphone seller. In the first half of the year 2018, the brand sold over 95 million smartphones.

Huawei Nova 3 Series

We got an opportunity to speak to Mr Blueking Wang, Manager, Huawei Consumer Business Group in Lahore to learn more about the latest nova series.

Q: How does the meaning of nova reflect in the series you are launching today?

Blueking:  For nova, the wow word in innovation. It is derived from the four alphabets in the word ‘innovation,’ hence – nova.

Q: What age demographic, consumer profile and lifestyle does the nova series cater to?

Blueking: The series is specially designed for the youth with three focal points: patronage, price and confidence. The target age group is those between the ages of 18 – 35 years. The consumer would be someone who can afford high and mid-range smartphones and enjoys an upbeat lifestyle.

The consumer loves colours and taking selfies.  This is why we have paid attention to the camera, memory and battery. Since they will have a lot of photos the phone would require a big memory and a long-lasting battery.

Huawei Nova 3 Series

The Hottest Smartphone of the Season HUAWEI nova 3i gets a New Colour

Q: How is nova different from the other series of Huawei?

Blueking: The main differentiating feature is the technology. The phones have an inbuilt AI-powered Kirin chipset. This allows for an AI camera, which has been introduced in the series with the dual camera.

Huawei Nova 3 Series

We invest heavily in R&D, with. Currently, we have 15 R&D centres across continents, including Europe, Asia and America. During the last 10 years we have spent $60.4 billion and during the last year, we’ve spent $10.8 billion on research and development alone. This makes us the 6th biggest investor in research and development.

The consumer wants a smartphone that’s fast. The Kirin 970 is not only the fastest chipset in the world; it will also increase power and save the battery. It is also the first time that we have used snapdragon.

Our devices, nova, Y, P series, Mate series, whatever we launch in the market is different from others because of our research. And that is why we are also setting trends and leading that technology

This is the first time that nova 3i costs around Rs 40,000 and has 128 GB.  This large memory size is not available at this price point for competing phones. It is something that the market really needs and was a demand of the youngsters. We listened and acted on that demand bringing to them a product that was the need of the day.

Huawei Nova 3 Series

Another distinguishing feature is the signature style of nova. It represents young entertaining and trendy because we believe that young is an attitude and that entertaining is what is your take on what you truly believe in what life should be like and which lifestyles you should lead.

Huawei Unveils the True AI Selfie Superstar in Pakistan

Q: There are many competing brands of Chinese origin in the Pakistani market, how has this affected your brand and how do you compete?

Blueking: This is not only in Pakistan. When you look at the global business, there are three main big brands. Of which Huawei is the only Chinese brand. As far as technology is concerned, only Huawei has the technology as a Chinese company. This is a big difference.

Huawei focuses mainly on innovation and technology. As mentioned, we have a lot of research and development centres globally, which gives us an edge over our competitors.

Q: How does Huawei compete with prices?

Blueking: Our price structure focuses only on our phone, we can’t focus on our competitor’s price structure.

Q: What were the factors in Huawei’s strategy that led to it becoming the world’s second largest smartphone manufacturer and competing with popular brands such as Apple and Samsung?

Blueking: The core strategy is the technology. Our software built in the chipset gives us an edge. Secondly, we have led the technology for 3G, 4G and5G.

What makes us different from our competitors, what kind of strategy we have – it is all about research and development.

Research is the core of everything that Huawei does.

Q: How customized is the Android operating system in Huawei phones? Does Huawei plan to introduce its own operating system in the future?

Blueking: This time we brought in the EMUI 9.0. We changed a lot in this version making it easy for the consumer to use the phone. It has changed the way that Android used to operate. It’s a layer that we add and it adapts to your usage.

Previously Google and the Android system had many things that were the same.

Emotional UI reacts to each individual user separately, so if you use one app or area of your phone more whilst someone else uses it differently,  it will adapt accordingly.  Whichever app you use more; it will give more battery timing and memory towards it. If you use WhatsApp more it will give more battery and memory to that, if you use Facebook more it will adapt according to your usage and needs. At all times it does not only increase the efficiency of use but the look and feel.

INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY

We have always lead the technology front. Going back to the Mate9 or maybe the p9 or p10, these devices were the first ones in the world with dual cameras in a smartphone. We later took it to the AI chipsets. The Kirin 970 was the first AI centric chipset that was made with artificial intelligence embedded deeply into the system.

We were also the first ones in the world to bring a triple camera setup on a smartphone, which you might have seen on the p20. Each time we have led technological innovation; the dual camera, the AI chipset, the triple camera and now the GPU Turbo update. The others don’t have that.

Huawei Nova 3 Series

Q: Which markets are very similar to Pakistan?

Blueking: The Pakistani market is quite unique. Like we said, 50 % of people are still using feature phones so it’s quite different from the markets that use 90% smartphones. At the same time, Pakistan is one of the biggest youth populations in the world. This gives us a lot of opportunity to market such kind of products and this is something that we might not find in any other market of the world.

We cannot say that Pakistan and India are the same. Since Indian consumers are different, the population segments are different. Over here the buying power is different. However, we do understand the buying behaviour and the thought process. That is why we conducted the selfie survey and we got to know about the entire region. How people think and react is unique for every country.

https://youtu.be/q1_JwAZ4TIE

Q: What trends do you foresee for the mobile industry in the future in Pakistan?

Blueking: Like we mentioned before this is still a 50% feature phone market, so this is a future opportunity for every brand. I think within the next 2-3 years the market will be double.

The world is moving towards 5G and we see the Pakistan market ready for it by 2020. Our latest smartphone is already 5G ready, but the marketing of it depends on the carrier’s ability. Huawei is happy to help carriers bring the infrastructure as we have the capability. When it comes to ICT, Huawei is the biggest company in the world.

Deadly Heatwaves Could Hit India & Pakistan Due To Climate Change

Karachi Weather Update

On Monday, forecasters had warned of potentially record-breaking temperatures in India and Pakistan in the coming years if the world gets warmer by 2 degrees Celsius.

The report was issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in South Korea, which is an international consortium organized by the United Nations.

Islamabad International Airport’s Passenger Boarding Bridge Collapses

It further states that Karachi and Kolkata are the two major cities which will be affected by the deadly heatwaves. It says:

Karachi and Kolkata can expect annual conditions equivalent to their deadly 2015 heatwaves. Climate change is significantly contributing to increased heat-related mortality.

The report, which is written by 91 authors from 40 different countries, suggests that an immediate action is needed to make sure global temperature increase is limited only to 1.5 degrees. We also need to reduce human-caused carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions 45 percent by 2030, with that figure going to near-zero by 2050.

Karachi Development Projects Update

However, the implications of the suggested solutions will be discussed at the Katowice climate change conference in Poland later this year.

Stifling temperatures in Pakistan have left people collapsed over the past few years as deadly heatwaves had hit the country.

Because of these searing heat waves, thousands of people, mostly elderly and sick people, died.

Generationさんの投稿 2018年3月9日金曜日

It is apparent that the fashion brand is stressing tremendously on women empowerment, body love, and breaking stereotypes for the good of the industry and society at large.

However, its latest campaign touting its ‘Sohni Dharti’ collection has confused marketing critics and fans alike.

In one of its advert, Generation has showcased models wearing retro 3D Glasses. 

The caption explained “May we see you flourish as long as this world is in existence” and highlighted that how plastic waste is destroying our homeland.

Even more peculiar were the images featuring models with printed facemasks to veil their facial features.

Seemingly, the face cover highlighted how air pollution is killing by taking over Pakistan.

Despite the deep message, the images quickly became a laughing stock amongst its followers who were left totally puzzled.

Similarly, marketing enthusiasts in Khaldi Alvi Marketing Next too were skeptical over the competence of the idea.

People questioned if their audience will be able to understand the message behind the campaign.

Apparently, Generation aimed to highlight the beauty of Pakistan with its Sohni Dharti collection whilst raising crucial issues that are damaging the exquisiteness of the land of green.

However, so far its target market has failed to comprehend the profound message. Fans are judging the unusual images, finding them queer and beyond understanding!

Has their strategy backfired? Only time will tell.

Lahore High Court Declares Underage Driving Illegal

Fakhar Zaman & Zareen Khan’s Dating Rumors Circulate on Social Media

fakhar zaman

In the world of stardom, it is quite common for celebrities to get embroiled in malicious gossips. With their personal lives always under scrutiny, our favorite faces often become victims of scandals. This time, it is our beloved Pakistani cricketer Fakhar Zaman who has gotten himself tangled in rumors.

Recently, an Indian website ran a story claiming that the batsman is romantically linked with Bollywood beauty, Zareen Khan.

The Indian tabloid claimed that Khan has taken a liking for Fakhar after his rising success in cricket. 

The report stated:

“Today, the actress we are talking about is Zareen Khan, Zareen has also given heart to a Pakistani cricketer. And this player is Fakhar Zaman who completed the fastest 1000 runs in his ODIs’

Zareen Khan Grooves to Pashto Music at T10 Cricket League & Pakistanis Are Loving it!

Of course, Pakistani fans were bound to be shocked, skeptical about how Indian media is defaming our cricketer!

Fortunately, Zareen Khan was quick to respond to the scandal going viral.

Taking to Twitter, she cleared the matter once and for all by slamming the tittle-tattle revolving around her and Zaman.

While Zareen Khan is practically a ‘nobody’ in Bollywood, she has recently become quite popular in Pakistan – all thanks to the T10 league in Dubai last year that united a plethora of Indian and Pakistani bigwigs in the name of cricket.

What’s more, she was also in the news for her candid confession about she had a crush on Shahid Afridi

Like of all us, the B-town too had been fangirling over Boom Boom all her life!

“I HAVE BEEN FAN OF HIS FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME HE HAD PLAYED HIS MATCH WHEN HE WAS  16 YEAR OLD AND HE SCORED 100 RUNS FROM 25 BALLS”

Smitten by his Debonair features, Khan was super excited to meet him last year.

“THAT HAIR AND THOSE LOOKS OF HIS! MORE THAN A FAN I WOULD SAY I HAD A CRUSH ON HIM AND FINALLY I WILL BE MEETING HIM”

Bollywood Actress Zareen Khan Has a Major Crush on Shahid Afridi!

So much so, a fake news went viral last year that Shahid Afridi is marrying Zareen Khan as per the approval of his first wife.

Keeping all of this in mind, it makes us wonder to what measures the internet can extend to, shaming an esteemed personality in such a shameful way!

Jinnah-Gandhi Photos Sparks Controversy at Aligarh Muslim University!

Jinnah-Gandhi Photos

A new controversy arises in India, where Jinnah-Gandhi photos at an exhibition in Aligarh Muslim University ignited fury among many Indian extremists.

On account of Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, this week-long exhibition was organized at the University’s Maulana Azad Library to commemorate his legacy as the part of Gandhi Jayanti celebrations.

This exhibition showcased photographs depicting the lifestyle and work of Gandhi along with his group photos with other leaders of his era.

But what caught the attention of many Indians were Mahatma Gandhi’s pictures with Muhammad Ali Jinnah and clearly, they aren’t happy about it! 

Jinnah-Gandhi Photos

Considering the history of South Asia, seeing Gandhi and Jinnah alongside each other should not come as a “shock” to anyone.

Jinnah-Gandhi Photos

But it looks like, the extremism among Indians is on its peak these days and this led to a quiet removal of these pictures from the varsity’s exhibition.

Jinnah-Gandhi Photos

AMU’s administration came forward to explain that they were not aware of this fact and have also issued a show cause notice to Librarian Amzad Ali, the in charge of the exhibition.

AMU spokesperson Shafey Kidwai said,

“The probe has been ordered as to how these pictures were included in the exhibition and a show cause notice has been served to the librarian Thursday.”

Famous for its anti-Pakistani statements, BJP once again got something to target Pakistan and one of its leaders Shakuntala Bharti said:

Were they celebrating Gandhi Jayanti or Jinnah Jayanti? If they want to display Jinnah pictures, they should go to Pakistan.”

Such extremist behavior is one of the reasons for all the political tension between the two countries and let’s hope for the situation to not get worse.

Also, this is not the first time that Aligarh Muslim University became a target of such controversy. Back in May, Jinnah’s portrait in its student union office raised a similar tension among BJP leaders and Hindu extremists!

Nevertheless, Muhammad Ali Jinnah stole the show once again, seizing all the attention even at Gandhi’s birthday celebration.
