| China Says Its Demands for a Trade Deal With the U.S. Haven't Changed Posted: 27 Jun 2019 05:15 AM PDT  (Bloomberg) -- There's no change to China's conditions for making a trade deal with the U.S. as the two nations' leaders prepare to meet this weekend, a government spokesman said."China's core concerns must be addressed properly," Ministry of Commerce spokesman Gao Feng said at a regular briefing in Beijing Thursday, when asked about the three demands laid out by Vice Premier Liu He in May.In order to reach an agreement the U.S. must remove all extra tariffs, set targets for Chinese purchases of goods in line with real demand and ensure that the text of the deal is "balanced" to ensure the "dignity" of both nations, according to Liu."We hope the U.S. side could drop its wrong practices, and we can solve the problems through equal dialogue and cooperation," Gao said.The trade teams are in contact to prepare for the meeting, and the respective negotiators had a good phone call earlier in the week, Gao said, without clarifying whether the trade teams will meet in Osaka before the leaders' encounter.Separately, Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang also briefed reporters in Beijing on Thursday."The U.S.'s threat to add tariffs cannot scare us," Geng said. "The Chinese people refuse to be misled and will not be intimidated. So I would like to offer a piece of advice to the U.S. -- starting a trade war and adding tariffs harms itself and others."To contact Bloomberg News staff for this story: Miao Han in Beijing at mhan22@bloomberg.net;April Ma in Beijing at ama112@bloomberg.net;James Mayger in Beijing at jmayger@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Jeffrey Black at jblack25@bloomberg.net, Sharon ChenFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

| Forget the Galaxy Note 10: Samsung is making a more affordable 5G phone Posted: 26 Jun 2019 11:06 PM PDT  The Galaxy Note 10 is launching soon, complete with a brand new design and a few novel features, but this Samsung flagship will be at least as expensive as the Galaxy S10 series that launched earlier this year. And if you're gunning for a 5G version of the Note 10, then you'll have to pay even more. But Samsung is also doing something it hasn't done before; it's working on a brand new flagship device that won't be as expensive as the S10 or Note 10. Moreover, this rumored Galaxy A90 phone will deliver 5G connectivity as well as 45W charging speeds -- something that hasn't been available on any Samsung flagship to date. Leaks from the usual suspects say the Galaxy A90 will run on the same Qualcomm processor that powers some of the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 versions, including the 5G models. That's the Snapdragon 855, of course -- a chip found inside many of this year's Android flagships. https://twitter.com/OnLeaks/status/1143535173612556288 Both A90 models will also feature 6.7-inch displays with in-display fingerprint sensors, according to @OnLeaks, as well as triple lens cameras. However, the camera specs won't be identical. Also interesting is that the 5G phone won't have whatever Tilt optical image stabilization, whereas the 4G version will get it. Unlike the other Samsung flagships, the A90 isn't supposed to feature a front-facing camera. Instead, the triple-lens camera will have a pop-up rotary design which will let you use it for both selfies and regular photos. The other leaker that has referenced the Galaxy A90 in the past is Ice Universe, and he also mentioned the same Snapdragon 855 SoC for the phone: https://twitter.com/UniverseIce/status/1142700778466897921 Previous leaks also claimed that the Galaxy A90 will get 45W fast charging, which is even faster than what the Galaxy S10 can do. We've seen conflicting rumors about the Note 10's battery charging speed, with Ice saying that the Pro version of the phone might still support 45W, while the regular model will only support 25W. That said, we have no idea how much the Galaxy A90 phones will cost or when they'll be available. The Galaxy Note 10, meanwhile, is expected to hit stores in the second half of August.
