Mobile Hardware & Shipments

Global smartphone shipments registered a modest 1% year-over-year increase in Q1, reaching 298.5 million units, according to Omdia data, despite ongoing pressures from the memory chip shortage. This modest expansion was reportedly fueled by aggressive supply-side pushing from major manufacturers bracing for increased demand later this year. Meanwhile, Huawei confirmed the imminent arrival of its new Nova 15 series, with the top-tier Nova 15 Max expected to launch on May 7 in Thailand, boasting an unusually large 8,500mAh battery capacity.
