lots of interesting news this week from why Huawei may not be selling the phones in the u.s. that we may have hoped samsung's new budget-friendly j2 Pro and how Qualcomm is hoping to triple the hours of bluetooth usage so remember we got all excited a couple weeks ago about Huawei possibly partnering with US carriers to make their great best bang for your buck phones more accessible oh well maybe not now we don't exactly know why the deal broke down but the information has some speculation AT&T allegedly called off the deal due to quote political pressure after the Senate and house intelligent committees sent a letter to the FCC raising quote fresh concerns about Huawei's plans the information said that the letter quote cited an intelligent committee report on Huawei's alleged ties of the Communist Party as well as China's intelligence and security services unquote now in this case it's sort of hard to know where the legitimate security concerns end and racism begins maybe it's a little both but it's not the first time that Huawei has been accused of being a security threat in 2012 a Republican Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said on 60 minutes quote if I were an American company today and you're looking at hallway I would find another vendor if you care about your intellectual property if you care about your consumers privacy and you care about national security of the United States or maybe it's just good old-fashioned US companies lobbying their US government to defend their business interests what are you thinking now we know many of you are like me you cling on to your wired headphones for dear life because as much as I want to Bluetooth headphones just don't cut it when it comes to sound quality and battery life but a Qualcomm is trying to deal with the battery life problem a lot Qualcomm is aiming to solve this problem with a newly unveiled qcc 5100 series of low powered audio system on a chips the qcc 5100 is a fully integrated Bluetooth audio solution packing in a Bluetooth radio Class D headphone driver 192 gigahertz 24-bit codec hybrid active noise cancellation and sensory processing and a KTX HD technology whoo all in a single chip the new design boosts power efficiency processing capabilities and supports new use cases the bottom line is that qualcomm states that the qcc 5100 series can help reduce battery consumption by up to 65% over previous chips and it estimates playback time could triple when compared to today's Bluetooth devices ok Qualcomm my interest is piqued as I'm sure many of you are now OEMs take that new technology don't make them look geeky like they're too baby suckers sticking in my ears make sure they stay in my ears and for the love of God improve the sound quality now let's talk about the official budget-friendly Samsung j2 Pro the galaxy j2 Pro 2018 has a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.4 gigahertz 1.5 gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of storage the device supports both microSD cards for expanded storage up to 250 gigabytes and dual SIM cards instead of using a hybrid microSD SIM card slot Samsung included dedicated slots for both that means you can expand your storage and use dual SIM cards at the same time as for the display the galaxy j2 pro 2018 carries a five inch Super AMOLED display with 960 by 540 resolution just above the display is a 5 megapixel camera with dedicated flash and around the back we have an 8 megapixel shooter that can filmed 1080p video much like the rest of Samsung's lineup the galaxy j2 pro 2018 retains the headphone jack whoo hopefully that's a good omen that Samsung flagships will do the same this year but don't bet on it now if you want to get serious about branding yourself online our sponsor domain.com is over 300 domain name extension to fit your needs from comm tech club two dots pace and the guise of domain.com love the Android Authority audience so much they're showing their love by giving you 15% off an already really good price for domain names web hosting or email use our coupon code Android at domain.com check out when you think domain names think domain.com back back back
