China Unicom’s Hong Kong branch has uploaded a photo online hinting that one of the upcoming iPhone 7s (sevens) will have a new color and sport dual cameras. This is definitely the iPhone 7 plus. While the color is not yet known, there are rumors saying it will be matte black. The image shows 4 color options, viz.: grey, blue, tyrant gold, and rose gold, with the possible matte black being the fifth.
Someone else also uploaded a leaked image of iPhone 7 renders in rose gold, tyrant gold, silver, gray, and dark blue. This kind of adds a bit of truth that both iPhone models will have 5 colors each.
Another info going round is that the iPhone 7 Plus will be officially known as iPhone Pro.
The iPhone 7 is expected to have a starting price of 5288 yuan ($797) for the 32GB model and 6088 Yuan ($917) for the 32GB iPhone Pro. Both models will have waterproof features stronger than that of the iPhone 6s but still not strong enough to get an IP68 rating.
Apple is expected to launch both phones in September.
Today was Xiaomi’s first flash sale for the 12.5” Mi Notebook Air and it was a success as the PC sold out in a short time. The company however had a surprise for buyers by offering free custom laser engraving in a total of 19 service centres.
Xiaomi first offered free engraving services back in 2014 at their Beijing service centre. Now, with 19 stores offering the service, it should be easier to get your device engraved. Right now, the company is providing text engraving only, which is sad, as I was already looking forward to seeing a batman logo on a Mi Notebook Air. Anyway, there’s more than enough space for your text since the front of the laptop is bare.
The 12.5” Mi Notebook Air features 4GB of RAM, a 128GB SSD, an Intel-Core M3 processor, and offers up to 11 hours of battery life. It is also light and thin, weighing just 1.07 kg and having a thickness of 12.9mm. However, it doesn’t feature an NVIDIA graphics card like its bigger sibling and has only one USB 3.0 port.
The 12.5” Mi Notebook Air sells for 3499 Yuan ($527).
Were you able to purchase a unit during the first sale? Will you be taking advantage of the free engraving service? Do let us know what you will be writing on your unit and if all goes well, we might even have a dedicated post for Gizmochina readers showing pictures of their engraved Mi Notebook Air.
LG has not had a successful year so far as the LG G5 wasn’t well received even though it was the first device to be released this year with ”replaceable” hardware. The Korean tech giant has however announced the release of the V20 which is the successor to last year’s dual-screen and tri-camera V10.
A recent leak has released details of the LG V20 which will launch in September. LG is reportedly sticking to the capable Snapdragon 820 SoC which is a surprise as some other flagships that will be released later this year and will compete with the V20 will feature the slightly more powerful SD 821.
The phone will also feature a 5.5” FHD in-cell screen which is thinner but smaller and lower than the V10 which has a 5.7” 2K screen. It will sport 3/4GB of RAM, with 32GB and 64GB ROM variants, Adreno 530 GPU, and an SD card slot that can take as much as a 256GB card.
LG V10
The cameras have been bumped up to 20MP on the rear from last year’s 16MP and 8MP for selfies compared to last year’s 5MP setup. The company has not revealed if the front facing camera will be a dual setup like it’s predecessor.
The LG V20 will come with USB Type-C and a 4000mAh battery. There should also be Quick Charge 3.0 giving that the V10 has QC 2.0.
The unique selling point of the phone is that it will launch with Android 7.0 Nougat (confirmed by LG) making it the first OEM to release a phone running Google’s latest iteration of android.
We know that Chinese smartphones are doing very well in the past couple of years, especially in 2016. While the growth and success of companies like Huawei, Xiaomi and OPPO have been the focus of our attention in the past few months, this doesn’t change the fact that the South Korean giant, Samsung is also having one of the best years in recent times. The new Galaxy S7 phones have been a success, which we already know thanks to the data available for the first half, but today, Strategy Analytics just published a new report which revealed that the top three best selling Android smartphones in the world were all from Samsung!
In the first half of 2016, Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Edge turned out to be the best selling phone for the period. Well, it’s not really surprising given that it was very well received by fans and critics alike. However, considering that the S7 Edge is quite expensive, it clearly shows that consumers trust and value the Samsung brand name. What’s surprising though is that the second and third most sold smartphones during this period were also from Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy J2 and Galaxy S7 took the second and the third place respectively in terms of global Android shipments for the first half of 2016. Samsung’s global presence has definitely helped it sell so many units within this period. We can see that the company sold over 13.3 million units of the Galaxy S7 Edge, which is a tremendous achievement for a single model in such a short time period. Similarly, 13 million units of the J2 were sold and 11.8 million units of the Galaxy S7 were sold during the same period.
This is exactly why Samsung is the top in terms of shipments and market share. Apple lies way below the company, taking the second place in terms of market share after Q2 2016, while Huawei, OPPO and Xiaomi take the third, fourth and fifth place respectively.
Meizu has released a teaser announcing an event slated for August 10 where the company is expected to unveil a new device believed to be a smartphone on an all new Meizu E series.
The Meizu E series is a new line of what is expected to be a high-end smartphone, perhaps another line different from the equally high-end PRO series. The Meizu E series has been spotted in some leaks recently and the phone is rumored to feature a Samsung Exynos 8890 chipset which is at par with the high-end Snapdragon 820 chipset.
The Meizu E series smartphone is also touted to feature a curved dual edge display which makes the device looks like what will be the ultimate Meizu flagship of the year. Apart from that, the device is also rumored to feature dual cameras at the rear, another first in the Meizu line-up.
Already, fellow smartphone makers like Xiaomi and Huawei are already making use of the dual camera setup and Meizu wouldn’t want to be left out. Also, with the mid-range smartphone market getting saturated with new entrants daily, the new Meizu E series which sports high-end specs could herald Meizu’s grand entrance into the high-end devices market.
The device is also said to feature a fingerprint scanner embedded in the on-screen home key but details about other specifications of the device are not known as this point. Until the August 10 launch date, we’ll keep our fingers crossed that this new smartphone lives up expectations and not turn out to be one big disappointment.
In the first half of 2016, flagships specifications basically center around the Snapdragon 820 chip, 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 128GB internal storage in the hardware aspect, apart from the display types which vary. The recent trends indicate all that is gradually changing during this second half of the year.
Flagships during the second half seem to shift towards the inclusion of dual cameras at the rear, Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 821 chipset, a minimum of 6GB RAM and the inclusion of a curved display on the design of the flagship. This setup looks like the flagship standard on board and quite a sizable numbers of manufacturers are reportedly cooking up similar products focused on this configuration, as gathered from leaks and insider information.
A recent post on popular Android forum, XDA-developers leaked what is purported to be a freehand sketch of LeEco’s next flagship design exposing a dual camera design at the back as well as the frontal design which reveals a curved edge design.
The alleged design drafts showed the dual camera positions in different symmetrical positions at the back with dual flash also part of the design as leaked. The positioning (symmetry) of the dual cameras seems to suit both left handed and right hands users. One of the sketches even shows the dual cameras lying side by side in a diagonal position. Already, LeEco has adopted the dual camera design on its collaborative smartphone with Coolpad, the Cool1 which was also seen in a leak and on TENAA recently.
Apart from the dual cameras, a sketch of what is said to be a curved edge design also finds its way into the device, according to the leaked drawings. It should be noted though that these are just sketches from an unverified source, and the final design of LeEco’s next flagship may look nothing similar. Also, we cannot confirm the authenticity of the sketches that they are actually those of any of LeEco’s smartphone still in the pipeline.
Ulefone has established itself as an affordable smartphone maker, gaining popularity with its Ulefone Be Pro smartphone last year and eventually releasing a number of interesting handsets in the market. The company also has its presence in the super cheap budget segment and that’s where the Ulefone U007 comes into the picture. This particular device comes with pretty good specs and for a surprising price tag of just $55, things could hardly get any better.
I have got this particular model for review and my first impressions have been pretty good. Before I move on to my hands on and first impressions, let’s take a look at the specs. But even before that, I would like to thank Gearbest for sending in this unit for review. The phone is up for sale for just $55 on the site, and you can check out more details about the listing from here.
Moving on, the Ulefone U007 comes with a compact 5-inch IPS LCD display with the quad-core MT6580 processor inside. There is 1GB of RAM inside and 8GB of internal storage. At the back, you have a 13MP shooter while up front, there’s a 5MP shooter. But don’t expect anything special from these sensors. One highlight is that the phone runs on Android 6 Marshmallow out of the box and the UI is pretty smooth despite its modest specs. The battery is not very large, but 2200mAh capacity seems to do the job for almost a day.
Now, let’s move on to my hands on.
My first impressions have been pretty positive so far. The build quality is excellent, as everything seems to be built to last. While the body is made out of plastic, it actually feels very good to hold. The body is sturdy and the buttons (both volume and power buttons are on the right) feel great. Overall, I am actually quite surprised and happy to see that the Ulefone U007 comes with such good quality workmanship. The back is textured but it’s subtle and blends well with the design. The Ulefone logo and speakers are both located at the back. Up front, you have a 5-inch HD display with capacitive buttons.
Make note that the camera is protruding, which might annoy some, but my unit came with the silicone case in the box, and it evens out the back, making sure that the camera is not always the first thing that hits the surface when you place it down. Both, the MicroUSB port and headphone jack are located on the top. It’s worth noting that the ports are actually placed a bit inside, but so far everything including charging and headphones are working perfectly fine.
I have tested the camera and it was just decent. Nothing special and most pictures are just plain ok. I will provide a detailed camera review in the full review in the coming days. As for the display, its pretty decent. Colors are fine and the brightness is also adequate enough for everyday usage.
The software is almost stock and everything is fluid. For the past two days that I have had the phone, I didn’t experience any lag, which is good. But then, I didn’t use it very roughly. Maybe after a few heavy game installs, we will get to see how it performs under stress. But I’ll leave that for the final review.
For now, the Ulefone U007 seems to be a good budget 3G smartphone. And yes, it supports just 3G, so make note of this before purchase.
July was a great month for Xiaomi, it saw them launch their very first PC, the Mi Notebook Air, and a new phone, the Redmi Pro. But these positive news have been marred by negative ones. The first one was of a Xiaomi Mi 4i catching fire while charging. Today we got to hear that a Xiaomi Mi 5 exploded as well.
While Xiaomi has sent the Mi 4i user a replacement unit they have not released any official details with respect to their findings.
The owner of the Mi 5 that exploded has uploaded pictures of the phone on Weibo showing a peeled off back but an undamaged front. There is also no mention of injuries sustained during the explosion, which is good news by the way. We believe Xiaomi has already been notified of the incident and will probably provide a replacement unit as well.
Looks like Huawei is poised to continue firing on all cylinders in order to meet its 2016 projected target. The Chinese tech giant just released another cool new device dubbed Huawei Honor 5 Play, the latest in its expansive Play series. This is coming on the heels of the release of the Huawei Honor Note 8 which was launched a few hours back with a 6.6-inch display.
The Huawei Honor 5 Play sports mid-range specifications and looks like an upgraded version of the Honor 4 Play released sometime in 2014. The mid-ranger comes with a 5-inch HD display with a narrow frame design and is powered by a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6735P quad-core processor backed by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage.
In the camera aspect, the device clearly wears a budget smartphone outlook with a decent 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash and a somewhat disappointing 2MP camera for selfies up front, a setup similar to the Honor 4 Play. The smartphone camera also features a self-timer and seems the screen lights up for selfies with the front cam, offering some illumination.
The Honor 5 Play comes with 4G VoLTE support, EasyKey one-touch access function, dual SIM support, dual standby and entire network support, even though there is a carrier specific version available. The beautiful device also crams a 2200mAh battery under its hood, as against 2000mAh on the Honor 4 Play.
The Huawei Honor 5 Play carries a price tag of just 599 Yuan ($91) which is relatively cheap, perhaps a way of clinching the low-end market.
Huawei’s newly released Honor Note 8 phablet is the new phablet king standing tall at 6.6” and featuring a 2K Super AMOLED display. But while the display is impressive, we are sure quite a number of you want to know what the camera’s performance is like considering the fact that it doesn’t get the dual camera treatment.
Huawei has released official shots of the 13MP snapper which features a RGBW sensor, a f/2.0 aperture, and optical image stabilization.

The pictures are impressive, most especially the shot of the fisherman paddling into the fog on the Xiaodongjiang River and the nighttime shot of the Hong Kong skyline.
There are no camera samples of the 8MP front facing camera available yet, but we hope it performs well too.
Huawei created the Honor sub-brand to serve as a way to sell their phones directly to customers on an online platform. When it was launched back in 2014, there was the opinion that it was going to affect the sales of their other devices bearing the Huawei name. But 2 years down the line, both brands are doing very well with Huawei itself being the top selling manufacturer in China. The Honor brand has included other devices such as the Honor Band Z1 smartwatch, a selfie stick, and earphones.
It is no longer news that Xiaomi plans to release a VR headset. Teaser images posted on their Weibo page a few weeks ago was interpreted to mean that the headset will launch on August 1, but surprisingly what was released today is a trailer for the Xiaomi VR headset and not the device itself.
The 51 second long video is of an older man and woman asking questions which are answered by a younger man. While we can’t seem to make out any specific details about the VR headset (let’s hope someone has a better luck at it) we noticed the date at the end of the video; 4th of August, which is Thursday. We believe this is the exact date for the release of the Xiaomi VR Headset.
If you look closely at the screenshot above which was taken from Xiaomi’s Chinese site, you will see that a couple of images with the dates 2nd and 3rd of August are blurred out meaning we’ll be getting more teasers before Thursday’s launch.
Huawei seems to be on a roll this year. After unveiling the Honor V8 flagship, it announced the Honor 8 smartphone series recently and now, within a few weeks of its launch, the company has made the massive phablet, the Honor Note 8 official in China. Although Huawei is not new to phablets since the company’s Mate series have been 6-inch devices, the new Honor Note 8 takes things to a whole new level by using a 6.6-inch 2K display on board. This is even larger than Xiaomi’s Mi Max, which comes with a 6.44-inch display panel with 1080p resolution. So, Huawei has made sure that the phone has enough punch to taken on and in most cases, beat the Mi Max, at least in terms of specifications.
Considering its massive display, there is no doubt that the company is targeting users who watch a lot of videos and play a lot of games on their phones. The 2K resolution screen makes sure that even with the 6.6-inch panel, the pixel density is 443 ppi. The phone is using a Super AMOLED panel with 105% NTSC color gamut coverage and 70000:1 contrast ratio. The screen brightness can go as low as 4.8nit to ensure that the display is pleasant to your eyes at night.
As for the design, the Huawei Honor Note 8 looks quite similar to its smaller sibling, the Honor V8. The phone features a premium metal body and 2.5D glass up front. The body is pretty thin, measuring just 7.18mm. It weighs 219 grams. There will be three color options, gold, silver and grey.
Inside, the Honor Note 8 comes with the Kirin 955 octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and 32GB/ 64GB / 128GB storage options. For camera, the phone comes with a 13MP RGBW sensor with f/2.0 aperture, OIS, and DPS/ GPU dual noise reduction. Up front, you have a f/2.0 aperture 8MP sensor.
Like the Xiaomi Mi Max, Huawei has used a large battery inside the new Honor Note 8. You get a 4500mAh battery inside which the company claims is good enough for 13 hours of video playback and more than 2 days of average usage. It supports fast charge as well (9V 2A). You also get split screen multi-tasking option on the phone, which makes sense since there’s so much of display to play around. Then, there’s USB Type-C connectivity. The phone supports dual SIM dual standby with 4G LTE. It also features 3MIC omnidirectional recording which ensures clear audio recording on the phone.
Coming to the pricing, the Huawei Honor Note 8 will start at 2299 Yuan ($346) for the 4GB + 32GB model, 2499 Yuan ($376) (4GB + 64GB) and 2799 Yuan ($421) for the (4GB + 128GB) model. Reservations start today and the phone goes on sale on August 9 via JD.com and VMall.

Recently, Chinese manufacturers, LeEco and Coolpad revealed a new collaborative smartphone launch. This came after LeEco’s acquisition of controlling stakes in Coolpad.
The smartphone was seen in a leaked photo last week being held by a lady, exposing the rear view of the phone. We were able to grab from the leaked photo that the device will come with dual main cameras as well as a fingerprint sensor at the rear. The device was equally spotted on TENAA not too long ago, listed as C106 and shedding light on some of the specs. The rumored specs of LeEco-Coolpad smartphone had also made the rounds on the internet before but no name has been ascribed to the proposed device.
However, LeEco-CoolPad has today officially announced their first product and it is called the Cool1. This was revealed via their official handle on Chinese microblogging site Weibo. Earlier rumors posit that the Cool1 will feature a 5.5-inch display with 2K resolution, powered by a Snapdragon 820 chipset, with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. So, it’s going to be a high-end device.
As stated earlier, there is a dual camera setup at the rear and fingerprint sensor. The phone is also said to feature a cool 3500mAh battery. Quite spectacularly, the Cool1 will run on dual operating systems as both LeEco’s EUI and Coolpad’s CoolUI all Android 6.0 Marshmallow-based, will feature on the device. So users have the option of switching between these two OSes.
Chinese phonemakers have started to look beyond configurations in order to release smartphones that outwits competitors. In addition to high-end specifications, they, now focus on design, camera quality, and display type as well as other things which consumers fancy.
One area the domestic mobile phone companies in China seem to focus on is the migration to smartphones with a curved screen, similar to what Samsung did on the Galaxy S7 Edge. Already, the Vivo XPlay 5 has clinched the record as the first Chinese phone to get the curved screen design and reports indicate that Xiaomi, Huawei and Meizu are seriously working on their own curved screen smartphones.
According to analyst Kevin Wang, director of China Research at iSuppli, Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu, Gionee as well as Oppo have all perfected plans to churn out smartphones using hyperboloid or curved display screen. The analyst in his Weibo post also listed the features of the curved display to include its difference from the flat screens found on most devices, the cost of developing the curved displays which in turn translates into more expensive smartphones.
Chinese phones are known to be very cheap, even when they are at par in terms of specs with their foreign counterparts like Apple and Samsung. With aspirations to compete on the global turf, it is important that their smartphones sell at prices which would enable them compete and even outwit the top smartphone brands.
It is in this regard that Xiaomi founder Lei Jun was reported to have visited Samsung during his first ever trip to South Korea to discuss with execs about its planned dual cameras, curved screen and even signal processors. The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 flagship which may be released before the end of this year is expected to adopt curved screen on one of the three rumored versions the device.
In the same regard, Meizu’s next flagship device which is rumored to feature its next generation Flyme 6.0 OS, will likely feature a curved screen as well. Huawei is also said to be sourcing curved screens from Korean companies, LG and Samsung. Gionee and Oppo who mostly sells their smartphones via offline sales channels are also working on curved screen displays which comes with better looks and therefore might attract more buyers. But it is yet to be seen how they hope to adopt the obviously more expensive curved display type and yet keep their phones affordable and post good profits.
Lenovo launched the Moto Z and Moto Z Force in June and mentioned that a lower version, tagged the Moto Z Play is in the works.
A Google+ page by the name HelloMotoHK, which is known for leaking Motorola products has posted real images of the Moto Z Play. There is an image showing the phone running Lenovo’s One UI which is used for their products in China, hinting at a possible China launch.
The Moto X Play which is a lower version of the Moto X Style (Moto X Pure Edition) launched in India last year. Apart from the possible Asia launch they will have in common, the Moto Z Play is expected to have a larger battery than its siblings just like the X Play.
The design of the Moto Z Play doesn’t look much different from the other Moto Z phones, and we can see it also sports a connector and pins which means it should work with Moto Mods out of the box. Not looking different means it will retain the disadvantages such as the large camera hump and the fingerprint magnet.
Two of the pictures also show the phone with the tag ”Vector” which was one of the code names used for one of the Motorola devices ahead of the Moto Z launch.
It is currently unknown when this phone will launch and if it will be available outside of China. While it does feature nice specs and cool features, the price will determine if folks will choose it over the Moto G4 Plus, considering that the Moto Mods are expensive as well.
Meizu’s next event is on the 10th of August and while the company has indeed confirmed that the event will be for the launch of a new phone, leaked pictures of a Meizu phone are pointing in another direction.
The leaked pictures shows a phone that closely resembles the Meizu Pro 6 and MX6 (more like the latter IMO). The only visible difference is the antenna line at the bottom which doesn’t curve upwards on this new phone. The camera and the LED flash are both positioned in the same spots and it also features a physical home button/fingerprint scanner.
New LeakMeizu MX6
The E Means Exynos
So what does this imply? We have translated this to mean that the E on the invite doesn’t stand for a new E-series but for Exynos and in this case the Samsung Exynos 8890.
Rumor also has it that the new device will have 4GB of RAM like the MX6, 64GB of ROM, and support fast charging. The picture already shows a USB Type-C port positioned in between the speaker grille and 3.5mm audio jack.
GizmoChina spoke today with Tim Mobbs, CEO of Guzu Inventions, a full-service marketing and design agency located in Brisbane Australia, about its latest invention, Heero.Heero is a wide angle camera set on a body with an integrated microphone that remotely monitors and controls your electronic devices, including 3D printers. It turns out that its secondary functions have greatly appealed to its Kickstarter fans: its ability to control and interact with your baby to your pet!
“At Guzu Inventions, we create, design and build prototypes on 3D printers on a daily basis. As great as the technology of 3D printing is, it isn’t fast yet. Prints can last up to six hours and the team often manage the job while they’re out of the office. Unfortunately, due to the unpredictability of 3D printing, we experienced a considerable amount of from wasted material, unusable prints. Then there’s the possibility a fire. Too many factors come into play to leave it to up chances,’ Tim Mobbs said.’ With our app, you can monitor and control the printer. You can keep watch by being on the lookout for sounds or errors and if needed, run the app to cut the power off, if anything isn’t right.’
But then something unexpected happened with the launch of the Kickstarter. Mobbs said, “When we started to promote our campaign and showing Heero to designers and prototypers who work with 3D printers, we had a response which took us by surprise, “Not only can I monitor my print jobs but can’t I alsowatch my baby or my dog or anything else that I place the camera at,as well?” and of course, they can. We just didn’t know that it there would be such an interest in the voice alert function.”One explanation for this interest may be the design of the device, per its namesake, it looks like a superhero. It stands on “two legs” and even comes with a cape to finish off the super look. This design appeals to parents who want to place in their kids’ room and makes for a conversation piece.
Heero’s triangular head has magnets positioned on the back. Its head can be placed on the tripod of your choice, or even your desktop/laptop cover. It can be mounted on the stand that works best for the location and is effortlessly moved around. The action is conveniently captured via live stream in real time on your smartphone. If while monitoring, you see that something is going wrong or need your intervention, you control the on and off switch using the app on your smartphone, or you place a voice command or soothe your baby by talking to your child. Imagine catching Rex climbing the kitchen counter to grab some food, and you can command him to get off it.
About Guzu Inventions:
A small team of 5 designers from the Australian-based company, Guzu Inventions, created their own solution to monitor their 3D prints remotely.
The product’s crowdfunding campaign has already raised more than $ $21,172 of their $73,000 goal. If you want to back the campaign or find out more about the product and its app, you can go here.
Oppo’s F1s is expected to launch next week Wednesday in India, and just a few days to the launch, we have a render showing up online hinting us at what to expect.
The F-series is Oppo’s camera-centric line and they are upping the game with the F1s. It will feature a 16MP front facing camera for selfies and a 13MP rear camera.
If you are in a poorly lit place, the screen of the F1s will double as a flash. Oppo will also bundle the camera with software features such as beautify and a bunch of filters.
Real images of the Lenovo Vibe P2 which were taken during a demo at a trade event in China have surfaced online. It is the successor to last year’s Vibe P1 and is expected to retain the same 5.5” size. However, it will be an AMOLED display and not an IPS screen.
Chinese companies are starting to move away from IPS displays as OLED/AMOLED screens can now be gotten locally.
Lenovo has made a couple of other changes to the Vibe P2 such as the use of on-screen buttons instead of capacitive buttons. This means the physical button might only serve as a fingerprint scanner since there’s already a home button on-screen.
The Vibe P2 will also feature 4GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 625 processor clocked at 2.02 GHz, an Adreno 506 GPU, and will ship with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. The all-metal phone is expected to still have a 5000mAh battery but will have a thinner body at 8.5mm.
No NFC?
If you look closely, there’s no NFC symbol in this picture of the P2. The Vibe P1 and P1 Turbo both featured NFC with the symbol positioned just below the LED flash.
