The article is referring to cellular network equipment not mobile phones.

Is there a source that says its an LMFP battery?

If I’m not mistaken, those portable power stations with AC inverters consume power even when not in use. You probably should use the DC output wherever possible.

AliExpress?

From my experience, Google mobile services all work fine with Xiaomi phones.

Bloatware you can disable with ADB.

Literally in the title of the URL it says 2018. That is the old TSMC 7nm not the 7nm SMIC from 2023…

Kinda low effort when just a windows defender scan can detect it.

I have never seen any source saying China claimed they have produced their own 5nm chip. They just release the laptop and international media claimed the chip was homemade until found otherwise.

Just like the current 7nm chip in some huawei phones and tablet. It was just launched quietly and international media went and advertised it for them.

If you read the current article carefully you will notice it’s arstechnica and the parent article from the financial times making the claim of China having the 5nm chip not “China” itself.

Source?

It is probably not important enough for any “hype”

The same thing happened last year with China’s first 7nm chip in a bitcoin miner. It was launched without any fanfare and only discovered by TechInsights a year later.
