There’s dissatisfaction among fans of Lenovo following its decision in using the Snapdragon 625 processor in the newly announced Lenovo S5. Statements made by the VP of the company, Chang Cheng, hints at more decisions that fans may not be pleased with.

According to him, “the Snapdragon 845 mobile platform focuses too much on performance and still isn’t well optimized. So he isn’t optimistic about any Snapdragon 845-powered phones (like the Mi MIX 2S).

He adds that power, AI, 5G are other important areas other than performance and updated cameras where focus should be placed. These areas, he says are where the Snapdragon 855 focuses on. So for this year, he believes the Helio P60 is a good chip and for next year, the Snapdragon 855. He is also said to have mentioned that Samsung is the only manufacturer capable of perfecting the SoC.

Meizu has just announced its second phone with a Qualcomm SoC which could be one of the best-sellers of 2018. This midrange looks like a perfect rival of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, the new affordable Xiaomi handset which already had huge success in Asia. Will Meizu be able to compete with Xiaomi this year or Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro will be the best phone to purchase at an affordable price like its predecessor? Through this specs comparison we will try to understand which is the best among Meizu E3 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro, and which has the best value for money.

Meizu E3 vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro

	Meizu E3	Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	156.8 x 75 x 7.6 mm, 160 grams	158.6 x 75.4 x 8.1 mm, 181 grams
DISPLAY	5,99 inches, 1080 x 2160p (Full HD+), 403 ppi, 18:9 ratio, LTPS LCD	5.99 inches, 1080 x 2160p (Full HD), 403 ppi, 18:9 ratio, IPS LCD

CONNECTIVITY	Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS	Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS
CAMERA	Dual 12 + 20 MP f/1.9 + f/2.6 8 MP f/2.0 front camera	Dual 12 + 5 MP f/2.2 + f/2.0 20 MP f/2.0 front camera
BATTERY	3360 mAh 20W Fast charging (mCharge 3.0)	4000 mAh Fast Charging (Quick Charge 2.0)
ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Hybrid Dual SIM slot	Hybrid Dual SIM slot

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is the cheaper alternative, while the Meizu E3 is the most expensive one, but their specs sheet are far from being different. The two devices have exactly the same screen size and resolution, with Meizu E3 being a bit more compact. Both have the powerful and power-efficient Snapdragon 636 SoC, but Meizu E3 comes with 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB while its opponent has 6 GB RAM and just 64 GB of internal storage in its most expensive configuration. Given that Meizu E3 has just been made official, there is still no way to test its camera performances, but on the paper it seems a more interesting camera phone with its 12 + 20 MP dual camera which has a bright f/1.9 aperture and supports 2.5x lossless zoom. The display also seems better on the Meizu E3 with its LTPS technology and up to 85 NTSC color gamut.

On the other hand, Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro has a potentially better selfie camera with a 20 MP resolution, and also a much bigger battery (3360 mAh vs 4000 mAh). So, the Redmi Note 5 Pro will probably shoot better selfies and it will last much more on a single charge, even though Meizu E3 will still offer a great battery life due to its power-efficient chipset. Meizu E3 will charge a lot faster thanks to its lower battery capacity and the mCharge 3.0 technology which is able to reach 53% of charge in just 30 minutes.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is priced about $218 in its 4/64 GB configuration and about $265 in the 6/128 GB, while Meizu E3 costs $315 in the 6/64 GB version and $395 in its 6/128 GB variant. Note that these are the Indian prices, the handset are not in the global market yet. With the actual prices, you would better go for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro for its higher value for money, unless you care a lot about the main camera department. But this does not mean that the E3 is a worse device.

Mar 21, 2018

Xiaomi has officially revealed on Weibo that it would be launching a new headphone at 10 AM UTC+8 on March 23 which is just two days away. The Weibo poster announcing the scheduled launch event was shared on Xiaomi headphone’s Weibo account. The poster contains the feathery drawing of a musical note which clearly indicates that it is a headphone.

Much details of the features expected to be on the upcoming Xiaomi headphone were not revealed. But the Weibo post hints that the product will come with a new design which would be light and comfortable. The poster contains the feathery drawing of a musical note which clearly indicates that the headphone would be very light in terms of its weight. We also expect the tech giant to unveil a powerful headset with a solid sound output.

Xiaomi presently has a wide range of headset ranging from the Piston Pro and in-ear headset to Bluetooth headsets. However, if we are to go by the latest model to get a price cut, we can guess that the headset will be a new Bluetooth Sports Headset. The price of Xiaomi’s Sports Bluetooth headset was recently reduced and now sells for 129 Yuan. This makes sense as it connects with the poster which teases the headphone to be light and comfortable. Who would want to put on a heavy and uncomfortable headset while out jogging? We’ll have to wait until the product is unveiled before we can get the full details.

Earlier today, Meizu held a launch event where it announced the Meizu E3 and Kumamon Travel Set. While promotional images do a good job of making a product look stunning, one still yearns for live photos. Below are a bunch of pictures of the phone and the travel set.

The Meizu E3 is shown in black, blue, and gold in the photos below and it is easy to see the one that stands out. The antenna lines are more visible on the gold and blue variants compared to the black unit. Also, the dual rear cameras are slightly raised. So it is best you get a case that has the camera cut-out raised high enough to keep the glass covering the camera from scratches.

[envira-gallery id=”180543″]

There is no branding whatsoever on the front side of the device. So if you slap a case on this phone, no one is going to be able to tell who the manufacturer is. On the blue and back variant, the bezels are black but are white in the gold variant.

The bottom of the phone is home to a 3.5mm audio jack, USB-C port, and speaker grille. The primary microphone is also at the bottom and there are two screws flanking the USB port on each side.

The volume rocker is separated into two individual buttons and are on the left of the phone. The power button which is a striking red on the blue variant sits above the fingerprint scanner.

The J-20 Limited Edition also makes an appearance and stuns as well. The lines on the back are unique unlike any other phone we have seen before. The J-20 is written in army font and there is an image of the fighter jet just above Meizu’s branding.

The phone also comes with custom wallpapers, icons, and a special retail box and hard case. There are also memorial cards and a custom SIM ejector.

Irrespective of the variant you choose, you should be satisfied as they all look well made.

We are just one week away from the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S March 27 launch and as should be expected, Xiaomi continues to release more teasers centred on the features of the device. The latest is a video teaser which was created as if it is a trailer for the blockbuster movie Pacific Rim 2 – Uprising.

On the surface, the teaser seems to suggest the Mi Mix 2s will have a configuration as a gaming phone. The already confirmed specs include a Snapdragon 845 chipset and 8GB of RAM which should be enough to handle heavy games.

However, looks like the main message of the teaser is the creative design the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2s features. The video shows the actual render of the Mi Mix 2s at the end. The design is similar to that of the Mi Mix 2 as it is entirely bezel-less except for the chin where there is some ample amount of bezels which likely houses the front camera. The render also shows the device will feature a new refreshed theme.

The Xiaomi Mi MIX 2S is expected to pack a new Full Screen 3.0 design and it will be fitted with a 5.99-inch display. The display is expected to support Full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. The device is also expected to come with wireless charging.

TENAA Reveals Huawei Mate X To Come With 512GB Storage

By

Mar 21, 2018

A few weeks ago, an unknown Huawei phone with model number NEO-AL00 was seen on TENAA. Initially, there were rumors that it was one of the P20 series, but that isn’t true as we already know none of the P20 series has that model number. However, the popular opinion is that this is the Huawei Mate X.

The Huawei Mate X is said to be a new flagship phone in Huawei’s pipeline. Firmware files have shown it has the Kirin 970 powering it and rumors say it will come with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.

While the former may be true since Huawei hasn’t launched a more powerful chipset yet, the latter seems to be wrong based on latest developments.

The TENAA listing has been updated and it now adds the RAM and ROM configuration of the phone. According to the page which was updated on Monday, March 19, the Huawei Mate X will have 6GB of RAM and 512GB of storage! Yes, you read that right.

While the largest embedded storage on a phone for now is 256GB, 512GB isn’t far fetched and Huawei isn’t just making up numbers. Last year, Samsung announced that it was going to begin production of 512GB flash storage this year.

The Huawei Mate X may likely be the first phone in the world to come with the new storage capacity seeing as Samsung itself didn’t announce a 512GB version of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. It also wouldn’t be a surprise if Samsung releases a 512GB version of its new flagships in future.

Huawei Is Developing Innovative Wireless Charging Technologies

After the launch of the Apple iPhone X, wireless charging is going gain even more attention. Even Xiaomi is going to adopt this technology with its upcoming Mi Mix 2S and it has already been confirmed by a teaser. Huawei has never launched such a device, but it seems that the moment is coming. According to a report from a conference promoted by AirFuel Wireless Power and WPC Wireless Charging Alliance, the Chinese company has suggested some ways to improve the actual wireless charging technology.

From what the company suggested, it can be improved through the magnetic resonance combined with the Qi and AirFuel technologies. It seems that Huawei is developing a new wireless charging technology inside its Watt Labs, and it may even allow charging more than one device at the same time with a single wireless charging base. If the company is developing such a technology, it means that at least one of its upcoming devices may support wireless charging.

But at this moment we do not know which will be the device interested and when the new technology will be ready to be announced. One thing is sure: with Apple and Sony (with its new Xperia XZ2) joining the wireless charging club, the wireless charging trend is going to catch on, so Huawei needs to adapt if it wants to keep aiming at the first place among smartphone brands. The Chinese giant has just announced the P20 Lite and it is going to showcase its 2018 flagships, P20 and P20 Pro, in just a week.

Would you like them to have a wireless charging technology and a more expensive price or you prefer to do without it in order to save money?
