APEC High Competitor

Iphone

Samsung

7 countries of the Asian smartphone makers have been competing fiercely to dominating the world market of gadgets try to beat Samsung and iphone that has dominated the market.  The counrty of smartphone makers are China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines.

China

1. Xiaomi This is perhaps the best known of any Asian startup, thanks to the fact that it’s already outselling Apple in China. Xiaomi plans to sell 60 million smartphones this year. Hiring ex-Google Android VP Hugo Barra last year stunned the world and signaled that it’s ready to explore new markets. What’s Xiaomi’s secret? Its smartphones sell for about half the price of Samsung’s and HTC’s flagship phones, yet the strength and versatility of its Android skin (called MIUI) makes them feel like top-quality products. Xiaomi keeps costs low by selling 70 percent of its phones online, and the rest via telco partners. It has no retail business to drain money. It also sells to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. It aims to roll out in more countries in Southeast Asia – the next stop will be Malaysia. And then it’ll tackle big markets like India. Xiaomi’s next continent will likely be South America. Lower down in the price range is the Xiaomi Redmi, which we reckon is the best phone you can get for a mere $130. Xiaomi models itself on Amazon, according to its founder. But the company’s minimal product line-up often leads to the media comparing it with Apple. Like Apple, Xiaomi has a streaming media box, and it has adapted that software to put into its own smart TV, the MiTV. Flagship phone: Xiaomi Mi4 has a 5-inch 1080p HD screen; 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor; 3GB RAM; 13MP back camera and a 8MP front one; Android 4.4; costs US$325 (16GB) or $405 (64GB) unlocked. Check out our Mi4 review.

2. Coolpad

Here’s another newcomer now outselling Apple in China. Coolpad is China’s third biggest smartphone brand in terms of sales, according to Gartner, thanks to a broad line-up of mostly cheap Android-based smartphones, with lots of special versions made for China’s three telcos. They won’t win any design awards and won’t blow your mind, but only 13 percent of Chinese people will buy smartphones that cost over $330 (that’s the psychologically important RMB 2,000 barrier) so the low-end market is vast. Coolpad has been an OEM for several telcos around the world (producing stuff like the MetroPCS Quatrro 4G phone for T-Mobile in the US), and that’s still part of its business. But Coolpad wants to stand on its own brand overseas, and it’s targeting Southeast Asia as a first step. Flagship phone: Coolpad Halo has a 7-inch 1080p HD screen; 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor; 2GB RAM; 13MP back camera and a 5MP front one; Android 4.2; costs US$320 for 8GB model.

3. Oppo

Oppo is another Chinese phone-maker that’s looking to be big overseas as well as at home. But, despite spending big on advertising with Hollywood faces, Oppo is struggling to get brand recognition in its native China. The company is aiming globally with its newest flagships, the OPPO N1 (pictured above) and Find 7. The brand offers Oppo’s own Android skin (dubbed Color OS), but for some markets there’s the option of CyanogenMod’s new OS, potentially making it a big draw for Android geeks. A spin-off company from Oppo called OnePlus launched this year (see below) and which challenges Oppo with a similarly strongly-specced phone with an even smaller price-tag. Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines – all young and fast-developing mobile markets – are target new markets for OPPO. Flagship phone: Oppo Find 7 has a 5.5-inch quad-HD screen (yes, that’s 2560 by 1440 pixels), 2.5GHz Snapdragon quad-core processor; 3GB RAM; 13MP rear camera (with software trickery it takes 50MP images) and a 5MP front one; Android 4.4; costs US$499 unlocked.

4. OnePlus

OnePlus, China’s newest big-bang phone-maker, burst onto the scene in May this year. Inspired by Xiaomi, it sells only online, and has strong hardware at a satisfyingly low price. Unlike Xiaomi, OnePlus is going global from day one. Indeed, OnePlus may do better outside China than it does at home, thanks to its use of CyanogenMod OS, a highly configurable reworking of Android that stays close to the look of stock Android. The tie-up with the respected modders at CyanogenMod also means that the OnePlus will get very timely Android updates – likely faster than any other brand on this list. Flagship phone: OnePlus One has a 5.5-inch 1080p HD screen; 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 processor; 3GB RAM; 13MP back camera and a 5MP front one; Android 4.4; costs US$299 (16GB) or $349 (64GB) unlocked. Check out our OnePlus One review.

 India

5. Micromax Of all the firms on our list, Micromax is the closest to its goal of beating Samsung. 44 million new smartphones were shipped in India in 2013 – 38 percent of those from Samsung, 16 percent from Micromax. Like most of these Asian brands (though not the Chinese ones), Micromax also makes tablets and feature phones. Micromax started its overseas expansion late last year by venturing into Russia and Romania, two developing markets that it reckons have a strong desire for more affordable smartphones. Flagship phone: Micromax Canvas Nitro A310 has a 5-inch 720p HD screen; 1.7 GHz octa-core Mediatek MT6592 processor; 2GB RAM; 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front one; Android 4.4; costs US$215 for the 8GB model.

6. Karbonn

Karbonn made up 10 percent of smartphone shipments in India at the end of 2013. Karbonn is a bit smaller than Micromax, but both are growing strongly. Flagship phone: Karbonn Titanium Octane Plus has a 5-inch 1080p HD screen; 1.7 GHz MediaTek octa-core processor; 13MP rear camera and 8MP front one; Android 4.4; costs $240 unlocked.

7. Xolo

 Though smaller than its two compatriot rivals, Xolo is also keen for a slice of India’s low-end to mid-range smartphone market. However, the prices are not as tempting as those of its local rivals. Flagship phone: Xolo 8X-1000 has a 5-inch 1080p HD screen; 2 GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592T processor; 2GB RAM; 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front one; Android 4.4; costs US$330 for the 16GB iteration.

Pakistan

8. Q Mobile

Q Mobile is the largest homegrown smartphone maker in Pakistan, making a mix of feature phones, smartphones, and tablets. The company started relatively recently – in 2009 – so it’s not struggling with a switch away from making basic phones in the same as as some other brands on this list. At the moment, Q Mobile has 43 smartphone models listed on its homepage. Flagship phone: Q Mobile Noir Quatro Z4 has a 5-inch 1080p screen; 1.5 Ghz processor (CPU brand not disclosed); 2GB RAM; 13MP rear camera and 5MP front one; Android 4.2; costs $290 unlocked.

Indonesia

9. Smartfren

Smartfren is different from the others in this list in that it’s a mobile telco company. It has 12.5 million subscribers, and it’s pushing forward Indonesia’s shift to Android with its own competitively-priced smartphones. In our experience, the cheap components can lead to a laggy and sub-par experience on Smarfren’s phones, but then they do cost well under $200 unlocked. Still, Xiaomi’s cheapest phone is only $130 but has much stronger specs and doesn’t feel laggy, so Smartfren (and many others on this list) have some catching up to do on their sub-$200 phones. Flagship phone: Smartfren Andromax Z has a 5.5-inch 720p screen; 1.5 GHz Snapdragon processor; 1GB RAM; 8MP rear camera and 2MP front one; Android 4.2; costs $245 unlocked.

10. HiMax

 Indonesia’s HiMax (not to be confused with the Taiwanese chip-maker of the same name) might have learned something from brands like Oppo and Xiaomi to make stronger phones than compatriot rivals like Smartfren and the increasingly clueless Cyrus. Not only are the specs stronger, but HiMax is offering lower prices than other Indonesian phone brands and coming up with better looking software too. Flagship phone: HiMax Polymer S has a 5-inch 720p HD screen; 1.7 GHz MediaTek MT6592 processor; 2GB RAM; 13MP rear camera and 5MP front one; Android 4.4; costs $170 for the 8GB version.

11. Mito

 Mito sells tablets, feature phones, and smartphones. It’s based in Indonesia but it also operates in India. 80 percent of its sales are low-end, feature phone devices. It sold about two to three million devices in 2013, so it’s not going to sell that many smartphones, but it’s still one to watch as its ratio of smartphone sales increases. Flagship phone: Mito Fantasy A95 has a 5-inch 720p HD screen; 1.2 GHz Mediatek MT6589 quad-core processor; 1GB RAM; 8MP rear camera and 1.3MP front one; Android 4.2; costs $153 unlocked.

Malaysia

12. Ninetology With an emphasis on style and a bit more attention paid to design than is evident in the others on this list, Malaysia’s Ninetology is already, it claims, Malaysia’s second biggest phone-maker – behind, inevitably, Samsung. The Malaysian firm sells its phones in neigboring Indonesia. Flagship phone: Ninetology Z1T has a 5-inch 720p HD screen; 1.2 GHZ quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor; 1GB RAM; 13MP rear camera and 1.6MP front one; Android 4.3; costs $315 unlocked.

Thailand

13. I-Mobile

 Like Cyrus and a couple of other firms on this list, Thailand’s I-Mobile is slowly transitioning from being a cloner of other people’s feature phones to a maker of its own Android devices. Its latest IQ range of phones packs in a commendable amount of camera for less that $300, which is a good idea for a country that’s so crazy about Instagram. Flagship phone: I-Mobile IQ X KEN has a 5-inch 1080p HD screen; 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor; 2GB RAM; 13MP rear camera and 1.3MP front one; Android 4.2; costs $528 unlocked.

Philippines

14. Cherry Mobile

The Philippines has faster smartphone market growth than the likes of Indonesia and Vietnam, making it a country to watch right now. If you thought that Samsung has a dizzying array of options, Cherry Mobile makes the Korean giant look like a master of Zen simplicity. Cherry Mobile recently revealed 84 models – yes, eighty-four – that will be rolled out gradually during the course of a huge marketing blitz that will last for the next two months. It also makes tablets and feature phones. Cherry Mobile’s devices are all made in China or India. This brand also sells in Thailand. Flagship phone: Cherry Mobile Cosmos Z2 has a 5-inch 1080p HD screen; 1.7 GHz MediaTek MT6592 processor; 2GB RAM; 18MP rear camera and 8MP front one; Android 4.2; costs $300 for the 16GB version.

15. Starmobile

Starmobile is battling Cherry Mobile with even larger phones that generally have stronger specs at a lower price. As is commonplace among these homegrown Asian brands, Starmobile also makes basic phones and tablets so as to cover the nation’s wide demographic spread. Cherry Mobile and Starmobile are being stalked closely by two local rivals, MyPhone and Torque. It’s hard to discern which of the four is selling more phones right now, but a recent survey suggests Cherry Mobile is the top homegrown phone-maker. Flagship phone: Starmobile Octa has a 5-inch 1080p HD screen; 1.7 GHz MediaTek MT6592 processor; 2GB RAM; 18MP rear camera and 8MP front one; Android 4.2; costs $320 for the 16GB version.

Samsung has a lot more to worry about besides those. This is far from an exhaustive list, and there are more grass-roots smartphone makers out there across Asia. Also, let’s not forget that there are some major rivals in the Android space too. Samsung’s closest rival in China is actually Lenovo. And there are plenty more, well-established brands keen to be the top shipper of Android smartphones – like LG, Huawei, HTC, Motorola, to name but four.

(Update 1, April 2014: This article was published originally in October 2013 with 13 on the list. It’s now updated with a total of 15. Evercoss was deleted from the list so that Q Mobile, Cherry Mobile, and Starmobile could be added in; Update 2, September 2014: We’ve updated all the flagship phones. In addition, FPT and Cyrus were removed from the list to be replaced with OnePlus and HiMax)

The Minister Susi Pujiastuti said

Minister of Marine and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti said she could not speak again after meeting with House of Representatives Area, the military and police. Why? "Today my head 'deadlock'. I do not could speak again. I surprise on condition there, "said Susi, yesterday, in Kompas Media. From that meeting, Susie knows that Indonesian maritime defense is very chaotic. TNI only have 70 units of patrol boats, but which can operate only 10 units. And each today only 3 units in operation. Police had 490 ships, but only half operating time only two hours. Worse, the ship only operated 10 days a month. Susi argues, this is very worrying. Knowing illegal fishing in Indonesian ocean has harmed the region in 300 trillion Rupiah per year. President Jokowi wants the theft should be stopped.

Mr.President Ir.H. Joko Widodo said,

Food resilience is different with food sovereignty, food resilience was "only" a food is "there" in the logistics warehouses and markets. But where is the food come from it does not matter, that was from imported or locally its not important, which important is there is Food. In "Food Sovereignty" there is food, with our own production and we are strong in marketing, even the food that we produce from the farm we can master the markets abroad. We are sovereign over our food sources, when there is chaos overseas, we are still strong logistical backup for the results of our food is more than sufficient to meet the needs of the people. In our government Cabinet, the destination is "Food Sovereignty" is a long road leading to it, because we have to fight against many obstacles, but we have determined that way. In the politics of food sovereignty, the state is present when mafia (illegal) played onion imports, the country was present when sugar was smuggled, the state exists to eradicate all of it including the mafia (illegal) devour beef import quotas played. Vision of food sovereignty is greatest when food products from Indonesia in abundance in the local market as well as overseas markets. At least in the ASEAN countries we have become the largest country in producing food commodities.

The Angel was on the pictured

look at the picture to the left, it's like an angel robed. This photo is result of recording the evenings after inauguration of The President of Republic of Indonesia. At night it is an ongoing concert band music from local and foreign bands. At that time many people carry the flag so it is difficult to photograph the singer in action. When the spotlights pointing upwards with fast motion like a flash then this is the right time to take pictures, and the results are no coincidence. Some flags swaying form like an angel or angel robes that also sings original song 'Indonesia merah darahku putih tulangku' played by Uk Band Arkarna.  On 20 October 2014 night when the concert is in progress there are some events that can be said  'Coincidence' namely:
1. The flag of the robed angels.
2. Light spotlights The reflections produce something very similar to 'UFO'.
3. Wherever place I stayed  I seem to some people with a high body big perky knows me (probably part of security) but I do not know who they are before and always give way in a crowd of concert-goers are very difficult to penetrate because of too many people.
It is easier for me to get in and out in a crowd of thousands of spectators in concert band to easily take pictures.
I hope I found like this situation in every concert on next event.

Goldfish

Its not true that goldfish can live in brackish water. Goldfish can live in fresh water clean and clear. goldfish in an aquarium with the temperature is not too cold and not too hot as the tropical temperature can extend the life of a goldfish. The flow of water by creating a small water wheel that rotates as a boost pump water continuously filter out impurities could make a comfortable living for  goldfish. Fish types of goldfish are omnivores herbivores. Surely goldfish that are kept in aquariums is  smaller in size than goldfish that are kept in the pool. The beauty of  atmosphere in the house would look on the house interior is equipped with goldfish kept in Aquarium.

Cat eat grass

The cat walking slowly and he look not hungry.  When servant cutting garden grass this cat smell  and eat it.  although I shoot with mobile video, he doesnt care and continuous his act eating grass.  We dont have any information whos the owner of this cat and where he come from.  Maybe he lived around the house at Pondok Labu Jakarta.  He is clean, grey color body with short tail.  when I touched, he wasnt scared and enjoying caress of my hand.  did you ever seen cat's eat grass before?

Cyber optic

New information from employee of telecommunication department Telkomsel Jakarta Selatan. Step by step all of internet services network that using parabola antenna for send long distance data will change the system and using new cyber optic technology.  They didnt explained when that method will realizing  it means all method with used parabola to send data will change. The trouble that using parabola to send data is to slow  and that depend of weather for strong signal. Some of the trouble when data send to very long distance island to island and the receiver parabola always got the trouble with electric source. Data will be stop in few hour to send with the reason electric source from diesel generator not work.  The server,router, modem,computer service was shoot off and cannot working for few days and there is no data will receive. This case is continuously since I visited some Island in Indonesia to check network and backup data of  Indonesian Nationality electronic personal identification number. I saw the evidence there is much trouble with server computer services for send data to central server in Jakarta. The most problem it was not come from parabola and server system but it come from electric source engine.  Maybe someday data will send with cyber optic cable more faster than parabola antenna although the generator engine is stop working because data already sent completely.

Cat

He lived around market and sleep in the corner floor.  He look healthy, clean and never scared to me when I touched. Maybe the owner bored to this cat and leave him stayed in market the place there is much food for his next life, he look beautiful when look at me with his lazy eyes.  Someone said to me that he have new owner when I want take him to my home. I hope you have nice comfortable  house and kind family, bye bye cuty cat!..
