Law enforcement agencies Raids on Fake TV’s and LED’s

With the rapid growth in the television industry in Pakistan, a lot of people have started making money out of illegal and unethical means;  wide range of fake TV’s and LED’s are being sold to innocent customers. Recently, LAW  ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES raided ‘Peshawar Electronics’ in Gujranwala and confiscated TV’s and LED’s ranging from the sizes between 40 to 60 inches, and another raid at ‘M.W Electronics in Daroghawala, Lahore. LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES has all the necessary arrangements to conduct raids on any crimes against infringement of copy rights and deceiving customers, in Karachi, Multan, Gujranwala and Rawalpindi.

These fake TV’s and LED’s are basically a counterfeit product manufactured with spare parts and local machinery, sold on famous brand names without the permission of the intellectual property owner. These fake LED’s and TV’s are sold in low prices, as they don’t pay the cost of producing a genuine television or pay the applicable taxes duties attached. This act has become easier to do in Pakistan due to weak regulatory controls, therefore these fake TV’s and LED’s are entering the market, and are sold to innocent customers.

The trends and consumer preferences in the Television industry has transformed over the years. The launch of cutting-edge features and technologies like the Smart TV, bendable LED’s etc. have added great value to this market, and it continues to expand. Analyst’s state that more than 40 – 50 percent price difference is found between the brands manufactured TV’s and LED’s and the fake ones. The innocent customers find the price attractive, and think they’re buying genuine used TV’s where they are given the fake TV’s.

These products can be seriously harmful since in case, the product malfunctions, the customers have no legal ground to claim any damages against such deceitful traders, since the brands don’t accommodate such TV’s. The retailers and consumer are requested to only buy official products by the company’s authorized shops. The Consumer Rights activists and authorities should raise their voices on this disgraceful act of selling fake TV’s and LED’s and punish all the people involved in this horrendous, unethical act.

Bid Farewell to Bad Battery Life with Huawei’s New Device

In a typical day, our smartphone battery will fail us exactly when we need it most. It can happen right before an important client call or when using google maps to navigate the ever-changing roads of the Pakistan. Regardless of when it occurs, we’ve all been in a situation when our device switches off instantly due to poor battery life. It’s irritating and inconvenient, and it seems smartphone manufacturers have only offered portable chargers as a solution. That is, until Huawei stepped in.

Last month in Munich, Germany, Mr. Richard Yu CEO of Huawei Consumer Business Group made a grand entrance on-stage in front of 500 media and VIP guests from around the world.

The Mate series is no stranger to long-lasting battery life and low power consumption. In fact, these elements have been a part of the series’ DNA. The Mate 8 was the first smartphone to run the Kirin 950 chipset, with CPU boosting power up 100 percent, GPU performance up 125 percent. Power efficiency improved by up to 70 percentwhen compared to the Kirin 925 featured on the Mate 7 (Ascend). The series put performance and power at the core of the smartphone’s key functions and the Mate 9 is no exception.

The Mate 9 combines a 4000 mAh high-density battery with the more energy efficient Kirin 960 and a new generation of Huawei’s SuperCharge technology. These features work collectively to extend battery life by 20 per cent for gaming and by 40 percent for phone calls. Huawei’s latest flagship device also supports 20 hours of continuous video playback, 30 hours of 3G calling, 20 hours of 4G browsing and up to 105 hours of music playback.

To achieve this level of power in record time, the Mate 9’s SuperCharge technology supports 5A fast charge, a 50 percent improvement over the Mate 8. A full day’s charge can be achieved in 20 minutes and 10 minutes of charge provides enough power to watch two full movies.

Endurance is vital for smartphone users and so too is safety. The Mate 9 ships with industry safety standard-settings including a Super Safe 5-gate protection which offers real-time voltage, current and temperature monitoring. This security net helps eliminate safety hazards and safeguards battery life. These measures also guarantee a cooler-charging temperature even when the phone is being used for videos or graphically intensive games.

In the 21^st century, a smartphone is one’s companion for their professional and personal endeavors. Without long lasting power, consumers may turn away from some of the most reputable brands. To alleviate this concern, Huawei has made the Mate 9 available select retail outlets across Pakistan starting at PKR 69,899 in Space Gray, Moonlight Silver, Champagne Gold and Mocha Brown. To the great delight of customers across the country Huawei is also gearing up to reveal this coveted device in an exclusive new color.

Huawei Changing the Game with its Revolutionary Graphene-Assisted Batteries

Huawei recently announced a major breakthrough in its research into Li-ion batteries, introducing the world’s first, long-lifespan graphene-assisted Li-ion battery, able to withstand high temperatures. Announced by Watt Laboratory, an organization under Huawei’s Central Research Institute, these batteries are built-in the Huawei Honor 6X and Mate 9. The new graphene-assisted, heat-resistant technologies not only allows the Li-ion batteries to last twice the lifespan of a regular Li-ion battery, but also to remain functional in a 60°C environment, a temperature 10°C higher than the existing limit.

Equipped with a 3340 mAh high-density graphene battery in the Honor 6X, and a 4000 mAh grapheme battery in the Mate 9, these smart phones are a step ahead with an increased battery capacity of 11% and 20% respectively, delivering 2.2 – 2.5 days of usage of normal usage and 1.5 – 1.8 day  of heavy usage on a full charge. With endless possibilities, one can watch up to 11.5 – 13.5 hours of video, listen to 70 – 80 hours of music, and embrace their inner gaming-geek up to 8 – 10 hours – in just one charge. With the fast 5V/2A charging technology, one can juice up their phone in no time, whereby the 16nm intelligent power-saving technology largely reduces the power consumption, truly providing ‘double the experience’.

Huawei’s research results will reshape the storage systems of communications base stations. In high-temperature regions such as Pakistan, the graphene-assisted high-temperature Li-ion batteries can have working life-spans longer than four years. These batteries ensure a high mileage for electric vehicles per charge in high temperatures. They can also guarantee the safe operation of drones, which often generate a significant amount of heat. This revolutionary technology has been getting a tremendous response in the Pakistani market due to its characteristics, satisfying the primary demand of the consumers.

Dr. Yangxing Li, Chief Scientist at Watt Laboratory, highlighted three technologies contributed to the breakthrough in the graphene-assisted high-temperature Li-ion battery. First, a special additive in the electrolytes can remove trace water and prevent the electrolytes from decomposition in high temperatures. Second, modified large-crystal NMC materials are used for the cathode, improving the thermal stability of the cathode powder. Third, graphene allows for more efficient cooling of the Li-ion battery.

Dr. Li said, “We performed charging and discharging tests in a high-temperature environment, which unveiled that when working parameters are the same, the graphene-assisted high-temperature Li-ion battery is 5°C cooler than ordinary Li-ion batteries. Over 70% of the graphene-assisted battery’s capacity is left after it is recharged 2,000 times at a temperature of 60°C. Less than 13% of its capacity is lost after being kept in a 60°C environment for 200 days.”
