Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in China : sorry… but everything goes well, ZDNet France

The explosion of Galaxy Note 7 would be at the origin of psychosis in China ? Incidents have been reported in the pas, five in total. Samsung Electronics has responded to an apology.

The Korean manufacturer has launched a recall program in many countries, but not in China. And if Samsung apologizes “sincerely”, it is first for the fears experienced by the chinese consumers as a result of these incidents abroad.

The smartphone maker seeks, however, not to be forgiven for outbursts of this kind in China. Samsung the supports, the terminals sold on the market are not in question and the reported incidents have been caused by an external heat source. To be clear, the battery of the Galaxy Note 7 has not overheated and resulted in an explosion.

On the home page of the chinese version of its site, Samsung assumes, therefore, for the concerns of consumers and for not having correctly and efficiently explain that the Note 7 sold in the country were safe.

The marketing of the new smartphones has been launched on the 1st September in China. However, the models delivered in the countries were the batteries of a subcontractor different from those affected by the recall. China is not concerned by these programs.

However, where it may be misunderstanding, Samsung has recalled the Note 7 in China, 1.858 units in total. The manufacturer explained that there were pre-orders and promotions.

Telegrams : 1 million Galaxy Note 7 redeemed, Zero Day iOS … – Silicon

More than a million Galaxy Note 7 to be replaced in the world. Samsung has clarified this figure to Reuters. It’s still a long way to the Korean carmaker to reach the 2.5 million units sold in total, and potentially have a defective battery. For memory, some smartphones have been the victims of overheating or even explosion. The Lithium-Ion battery of the terminal has been fingered as responsible. In South Korea, and the United States, 60% of all terminals have been replaced. In Europe, this exchange program began at the end of September. Samsung plans to restart the commercialization of its product from the 1^st October for Korea. In France, it will have to wait for next October 28.

Zerodium pays $ 1.5 million for a flaw Zero-Day on iOS 10. The firm specialized in the research and the sale of vulnerabilities back its rewards. At the same time last year, Zerodium proposed $ 1 million for a critical fault on the mobile OS of Apple. Today, the start-up founded by the French Chaouki Bekrar (founder of Vupen) increases its reward in announcing $ 1.5 million for a jailbreak remote iOS 10. Difficult for research programmes of the bug to match these rates. It should be noted that the discovery of a vulnerability Zero-Day on Android 7 and 6 is awarded $ 200,000.

The EU been more vigilant about data collection. The eu commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, announced that it would “monitor very closely” the companies that collect and use personal data as Facebook, WhatsApp and Google. This note follows a decision by Germany to ban Facebook to use the data from WhatsApp. The ruling european said to want to ” determine if we need to begin to examine the mergers including data recoverable, even if the companies that own (the data) do not have a large turnover “. And to add to that ” the companies who use mégadonnées must adhere to the rules “. A warning to the GAFA that in the light of the reputation of the commissioner should not take it lightly.

Xiaomi expect October to present its Mi Note 2 – LesMobiles.com

Out of the conference of 27 September, the Mi Note 2 might finally make its appearance a little later. A new rumor announces that he will be presented in October, with a Pro version premium.

Xiaomi has he stopped the series of Mi Note ? If the question was already ask, given the total absence of novelty, since January 2015, there is now one more reason. This is obviously the Mid 5S Over who comes to be formalized with the Mid 5S. The positioning is the same. It is a phablet top of the range. And yet. The rumors about the Mi Note 2 continue. A new has just appeared in XiaomiToday.

Two versions to discover the next month ?

It is based on the opinion of one analyst by the name of Pan Jiutang and focuses more specifically on the launch of the phablet. Two versions are planned, each with several colors. The Mi Note 2 would be as well accompanied by a Mi Note 2 Pro. The presentation is announced for the month of October. No precision on the other hand on the equipment, or the differences to expect, but a return on the previous rumors may help to see more clearly.

Screen QHD, Snapdragon 821 and up to 8/256 Gb of memory

The Mi Note 2 is to recall expected with a large screen QHD curved and the Snapdragon 821 Qualcomm, coupled with 4, 6 or 8 Gb of RAM. Side storage, multiple capabilities have also been mentioned : from 64 to 256 Gb. In addition to that, a dual camera on the back, and a battery of 3600 mAh that is associated to a USB port-C for the load. A configuration better than the Mid 5S More but is this enough to justify a new model ?

suffice to say that we are very sceptical about the chances of seeing one, and plus two more, Half Note 2 made official(s) in the near future even if we are never safe from a surprise from Xiaomi. The safest is still to wait. As the month of October is not very far away now. Therefore, we should not delay in learning more about the subject or, at least, to see him pass on invitations if Mi Note 2 there a.

The Mid 5S More will there be reinforcement in the segment of phablets running high-end ?

Moody’s degrades a notch in the note EDF – Le Figaro

The rating agency Moody’s announced on Wednesday that the degradation of the note of the French energy group EDF, which goes from A2 to A3 for senior debt long-term and Prime-1 to Prime-2 debt in the short term. These notes are accompanied with a stable outlook. In a statement, the agency justified its decision by the risk carried by the project, Hinkley Point, which has a negative impact on the credit profile of the group.

Moody’s believes that “the scale and complexity of the project,” poses the same risks as those that have resulted in delays and additional costs on the building of the EPR of Flamanville or Olkiluoto in Finland. During the “very long construction phase,” the financial balance sheet of the group will be affected by the investments required for the construction site, which will reach “2 billion” per year and will generate “no return of cash”, according to the agency. Without the support provided to the project Hinkley Point by the French State, majority shareholder in EDF, the note from the electrician would be Baa2, or two notches lower than the current note A3.

The mobile should be available again on the 1st of October. In France, it will have to wait for much longer. “We hope that the Galaxy Note 7 will be available around the end of November, well before the end of the year,” said David Lowes, head of marketing at Samsung Europe.
