LeEco has managed to take on competitors with aggressively priced Le 2 mid-range smartphone. However, there’s another slightly powerful model in the company’s Le lineup that was announced in April, namely the Le 2 Pro. This particular model comes with an even faster processor, the Helio X25 @ 2.5GHz at a very cheap price tag. Considering the same chip powers flagships such as the Meizu Pro 6 which costs a lot more, the Le 2 Pro with its powerful specifications is definitely worth checking out.
Now, the Le 2 Pro model with Helio X25 on board is available on OPPOMART for $249. The one listed as default is the Helio X20 powered model, so make sure you select Helio X25 powered model from the drop down menu.
As for the other specs of the Le 2 Pro, it comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. At the back, you get a powerful 21MP Sony IMX230 sensor while up front, there’s an 8MP shooter. The display remains the same, a 5.5-inch panel with 1080p resolution. Other features include USB TYpe-C, VoLTE and 3000mAh battery.
Remember that there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack on board, so be ready to use USB Type-C headphones on the device.
A few days ago, Nubia opened an auction for a unit of the Nubia Z11 bearing C. Ronaldo’s autograph. Today the final auction price of 92,251 Yuan ($13,774) was announced.
That’s a helluva sum to pay for a phone but considering that the money will be donated to The One Foundation which carries out rescue and relief work for Yangtze River floods and rainstorms, it is well worth it. The world can do with a little bit of good every now and then.
The Nubia Z11 is an impressive device with a 5.5” border-less FHD screen, Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM or 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM, 16MP rear camera, 8MP front facing camera, USB Type-C, a fingerprint scanner placed at the back, and a 3000mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0.
The phone is on pre-sale with price starting at 2499 Yuan ($373) for the 4GB RAM version and 3,499 Yuan ($522) for the 6GB RAM version.
Lenovo announced the Moto Z series smartphones during the TechWorld event in June this year but didn’t disclose the prices for both flagship devices. Now news making the round says that the Moto Z will carry a price tag of 2,998 yuan ($450) while the Moto Z Force will be priced at a whooping 5299 yuan ($800). While these two 2016 flagships are yet to hit the market, Lenovo is said to be working on what could possibly be a 2017 flagship under the Moto Z or Moto X series which hitherto was thought to have become defunct, replaced by the Moto Z, until Lenovo debunked that notion.
The leak was posted on Twitter by @Ricciolo1 who shared a message that the 2017 Moto Z and Moto X flagships from Lenovo will come with enhanced low light imaging capability, less number of pixels (MP) but larger pixel (um) size with high quality lens, Laser autofocus, as well as optical image stabilization (OIS).
2017 #motoz #motox #Lenovo enhanced low light images LOWER MP Bigger μm Quality Lenses Laser AF OIS 😉 FIX this!Sorry for being TOO AHEAD !

The message had a cheeky smiley after which he added; “FIX this! Sorry for being TOO AHEAD”. Now, while we accept this could possibly be a leak on the 2017 Moto X/Moto Z flagships from Lenovo, we must note the added cheeky smiley and the other riddles which seem to suggest some mischief in the mix aimed at coding the entire message. He asked readers to “FIX this”. Fix what, the date? Could it have been 2016 he was talking about? Note that he also apologized for being too ahead. Sure he’s talking about the date and this could possibly be a message about the 2016 Moto X considering that the Moto Z 2016 packs some of these features on the camera lane. Perhaps, the use of the motoz hashtag alongside motox hashtag was to indicate that both will have similar camera features.
The leak also suggests the Moto X / Moto Z, will be manufactured with an optimized camera sensor. The sensor is compared with that found on HTC’s flagships. The HTC 10 flagship sports a 12MP camera with second-generation UltraPixel camera, having an f/1.8 aperture, 1.5 μm pixel sensor with optical image stabilization technology. A larger f/1.8 aperture and larger pixel size will result in improved low light performance. When more light gets through the lens, better quality images will be taken which will be less blurry and feature reduced image noise.
The earlier release of the GFXBench listing of what is thought to be the Moto X flagship indicated that the device will feature a dual rear camera set up with one having 21MP shutter and the other sensor of 13MP. Other specs include a 5.5” Quad HD display, Snapdragon 820 SoC clocked at 2.1GHz, 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM, a 5MP front camera, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
So, could this leak possibly be about the Moto X 2016 flagship or the 2017 Moto Z or Moto X flagships? We don’t know for sure but the answer won’t be very far away with Lenovo expected to unveil new smart phones soon.
Information coming in this week reveals that Nokia is about to release two new smart phones into the market. According to reports, the phones will be released based on the Nokia mobile phones brand but from the stable of HMD global Oy. Recall that Helsinki, Finland-based HMD Global Oy announced on 18 May 2016 that it had purchased part of the feature phone business of Microsoft Mobile, the company founded after Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia’s original mobile phone business in 2014 and that it will in the future develop mobile devices under the Nokia brand.
The two mobile phones have appeared in a leak, both sporting different sizes. There’s a smaller 5.2-inch display model and a larger 5.5-inch model . Both models will use 2K display resolution and will be equipped with Z-Launcher System UI based on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat (Android N), confirming our earlier report that Android based Nokia phones are underway.
On the specs bench, the two phones will be powered by Snapdragon 820 chipset and will sport an all-metal body and also come equipped with IP68 Waterproof and Dustproof protection, similar to the one on the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.
It is important to also disclose at this point that previous leaks had revealed that the expected Nokia phone will feature a huge 22.6MP main camera, perhaps this should be for the bigger version and will carry a price tag hovering around 3000 yuan ($500). Currently in the phone market, an SD 820 flagship with 2K display, all-metal body and IP68 waterproof and dustproof technology, carrying a 3,000 yuan price tag will be considered competitively priced.
Most modern helmets of virtual reality (Virtual Reality, VR) rely on your smartphone or on an external computing unit when you use them – for example, a video game console or a personal computer. But there is a completely self-contained device, such as, Sulon the Q . Another innovation was a gadget called DeePoon M2.
In the development of new products took part specialists ARM. mini-computer based processor Samsung Exynos 7420. This CPU has eight cores: quartets ARM Cortex-A57 and ARM Cortex-A53. graphics processing is assigned to the controller integrated ARM Mali-T760 MP8.
The helmet has on-board 3 GB of RAM LPDDR4-1600, flash module with a capacity of 32 GB, dual-band wireless adapter Wi-Fi and Controller Bluetooth 4.0.

The helmet is already available for pre-order for $488 with coupon:YFJ100. Will the device be in demand, it is not clear. The fact that the characteristics of it is comparable to a powerful smartphone, And you can check the Deepoon M2 VS Samsung Gear. Therefore the feasibility of the acquisition of such hybrid doubt: it is possible to buy a separate mobile device and inexpensive accessory like Google Cardboard to use your smartphone as a VR-devices.
Initially, we thought the Moto Z was going to replace the Moto X but the Lenovo owned company released a statement saying the much beloved X series will still continue to release newer models.
What appears to be the M0to X 2016 with model number XT1650 appeared on benchmarking site, GFXBench. A few months back, a device with the same model number surfaced on GeekBench. And while the specs are nothing short of flagship, the phone takes it up a notch by sporting dual cameras.
You might say dual cameras are not special, with the first half of 2016 seeing the launch of nothing less than 5 phones with the feature. But what makes the Moto X 2016 stand out is the configuration. According to GFXBench, the phone’s rear camera configuration is a 21MP and 13MP combo which can both shoot in 4K.
Other specs include a 5.5” Quad HD display, Snapdragon 820 SoC clocked at 2.1GHz, 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM, a 5MP front camera, and Android Marshmallow 6.0.1.
One of the devices to be launched on July 27 by Xiaomi will be the Mi Notebook; the second being the 4th Generation Redmi Note. The first time news of a notebook from the Chinese giant surfaced was 7 months ago. While some of the specs in that post have changed, others have remained true.
The Mi Notebook will be available in 2 sizes, viz.: 11 inches and 12.5 inches (13 inches) with the latter confirmed to be a Full HD display although without touchscreen support.
It will also feature an Intel Skylake U-Series Core i7 processor (Core i7-6500U) clocked at 2.50 GHz (3.0GHz Max). The processor has an integrated GPU called HD Graphics 520 which offers performance in range of a dedicated GeForce 820M. Tests say the GPU will be able to handle 2015 games smoothly although in low settings.
The Mi notebook will feature 8GB of RAM and ship with Windows 10. The charger is similar to that of Huawei’s Matebook which uses a USB Type-C with maximum charge power at 65W (20V/3.25A).
Xiaomi has applied for two patents with respect to the notebook. One is for an intelligent charging adapter and the other is for a thermal processing method and apparatus.
There is still no information about the prices but we trust it will sure be cheaper than similar products in the market right now.
If you are in the market to purchase a Snapdragon 820 phone that doesn’t leave a hole in your pocket, the Xiaomi Mi 5 or ZUK Z2 will be one of the phones we’d recommend to you.
But it seems the cheapest Snapdragon 820 phone is the LeEco Le Max 2, which has seen a price cut from 2099 Yuan ($313) to 1940 Yuan ($290) on multiple shopping sites. JD Mall had it listed for 1925 Yuan ($288) which sadly, has expired now. However there’s a seller on Aliexpress that still has it for $287.68.
The Le Max 2 is an impressive device sporting a 5.7” 2K screen, 4GB of RAM as against the Mi 5′ 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM, dual SIM slots,a 21MP/8MP camera configuration, and a 3100mAh battery with fast charging. It also supports a lot of LTE frequency bands. It’s important to note that the LeEco Le Max 2 doesn’t have a 3.5 mm earphone jack but instead uses USB Type-C earphones. There is also no SD card slot for storage expansion.
Have you seen the Le Max 2 listed for a lower price somewhere else? Please let us know in the comment box below.
Weibo user @KJuma posted pictures of a LeEco phone which he alleges were leaked by an internal staff.
The pictures confirms that the company indeed has a dual-camera phone in the works. However, the design is quite funny. The dual cameras and horizontal LED flash are boxed up in a squircle making it look like the face of a Japanese tree spirit (we believe someone has watched to many animes at LeEco).
There is also a fingerprint scanner right belowthe camera setup and the LeEco logo at the bottom.
The all-metal body of the phone shares a similar design to Meizu’s Pro 6 which allows you to see where the upper and lower parts are fused together.
The phone’s screen has a 2.5D arc design and features thin bezels. LeEco has also changed the design of the capacitive buttons by replacing the middle button with a LeEco logo.
There is still a lot we do not know about this phone such as the camera configuration (which most likely is supplied by Samsung), the RAM, ROM, or even what SoC will be embedded in it. But if we are to go by the details in this article, it’s probably not going to feature the Snapdragon 821 processor.
Looks like a new smartphone will soon roll out from Coolpad because the device was spotted today on GFXBench listed as Coolpad A9S-9. That is not the big news though, the big news is that in the device, we’ll get to feel the all new, latest MediaTek Helio P20 processor announced by MediaTek early this year as the latest in the P series of its processors.
MediaTek unveiled the Helio P20 processor as a successor to last year’s Helio P10 spec and also announced that the Helio P20 should be expected in devices in the second half of 2016.
On first sight of the specs, you might confuse the P20 with the Helio X20 that uses a deca-core design, but the difference is the P20 is an octa-core product. The one listed as being on the CoolPad A9S-9 is listed as a 2.3GHz octa-core MT6757 processor which is the specs of the Helio P20.
MediaTek upgraded the frequency of the processor on the Helio P20 from 2GHz found on the Helio 10 to 2.3GHz and the graphics processing unit (GPU) from Mali-T860 MP2 700MHz to Mali-T880 MP2 900MHz. These are the two major overhauls on the P20 from P10, other aspects of the upgrade are really not obvious.
Since it packs a more powerful GPU and more frequency band, the Helio P20 is expected to offer a more seamless and faster performance than the P10, which isn’t a bad one either.
Xiaomi has confirmed a new conference on July 27, which is just a couple of weeks away. However, as of now, the company hasn’t revealed what to expect from the new event, nor it has given any hints of the number of products going to be announced that day. Recent rumors have said that there would be more than one announcement, and looks like, the rumors are true, as Xiaomi’s, Director of new Media, Lu, has just revealed via his Weibo account that there will be two announcements at the event.
So what can be those two products? His post reveals that the first product has three letters and the second product has five letters. Judging from the number of letters, the first product could be Redmi 4 (红米4 in Chinese) or maybe Note 4. The second product should be none other than Xiaomi’s first Notebook since 小米笔记本 i.e. Xiaomi Notebook fits perfectly in the five letter space.
Both the products are going to be exciting and we have been hearing consistently about them for the past few weeks. The Redmi Note 4 is expected to be the company’s first dual camera smartphone, featuring a metal body and Helio X20 chip inside. As for the Xiaomi Notebook, there should be three display variants, but the 12.5-inch and 13.3-inch models are expected to debut first. The larger 15.6-inch could be announced later, as per previous rumors.

Chinese top drone company, DJI has launched their latest Point To Zoom (PTZ) camera that provides up to 7x zoom power. Dubbed Zenmuse Z3 (Zen Z3 for short), it is the renowned company’s first camera with zoom capability.
DJI’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones have been very useful for aerial photography and videography but one snag about it before now, was that if a close-up shot of an object is needed, the drone controller has to fly the drone very close to the object in order to get a satisfactory shot. That could be dangerous as a mistake in operation could lead to a crash. But now, all that is set to change with the launch of the Zenmuse Z3, the company’s first Point to Zoom (PTZ) camera which can deliver up to a whopping 7x zoom.
Speaking at the launch, Paul Pan DJI’s senior product manager, had this to say,
“Before the introduction of Zen Z3, UAVs are only approaching the subject in order to obtain an enlarged image. Today, users can use the zoom function to capture clearly from a distance, sharp images. This is to enhance the efficiency of the UAV in equipment inspection, search and rescue and other security areas. “
The Zenmuse Z3 is reputed to support 3.5 optical zoom and 2X digital zoom which combine to give the 7x zoom. The Zen Z3 also sports a 12MP Sony 1 camera with 2.3 Yingcun sensor, having a focal length of 22-77mm and corresponding aperture coefficient of F2.8 – F5.2 . The Zen Z3 camera supports 4K video recording, and is suitable for shooting still images as well as video recording.
In addition, Zenmuse Z3 camera can be mounted on a host of drones ranging from “Enlightenment” Inspire 1 aircraft, Jingwei M100 developer platform, to Jingwei M600 flying platform, all manufactured by DJI. It also supports DJI’s airborne Lightbridge and Lightbridge 2 and image transmission system, which enables a user to view real-time images transmitted from the drone on their mobile device as long as it’s within a 5 km radius from the drone.
DJI’s Zenmuse Z3 PTZ camera carries a price tag of 5999 yuan ($900) and is available for purchase from DJI’s official website. Quite a heavy amount isn’t it? DJI drones offer top quality functionalities so the price just has to be as high as it is. By the way, Tomtop is offering a mega sale with huge price slash on DJI drones.
We had reported that Huawei teased the release of the Huawei Maimang 5 flagship earlier in July. Now, the company has officially taken the wraps off the new device, giving fans yet another mid-range smartphone to choose from. However, unlike most other Huawei smartphones that have been announced this year, the Maimang 5 comes with a Snapdragon 625 processor. So, it will be one of the few mid-range options from Huawei not featuring its home grown Kirin chipset.
Going with the current trend, the Maimang 5 features a metal body with diamond cut edges and 2.5D glass up front. It’s pretty thin as well, measuring just 7.3mm in thickness and weighing 167 grams. The display is of 5.5-inches with 1080p FHD resolution. You also get a 3D fingerprint sensor located at the back of the device. The overall hardware of the new generation Maimang 5 is a big leap over the last generation model.
Under the hood, the new generation Maimang 5 comes with the Snapdragon 625 chipset clocked at 2GHz with 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB ROM versions. The phone also comes with a powerful camera at the back. It gets a 16MP Sony IMX298 sensor, the same one that’s found inside the OPPO R9 Plus with three axis OIS, dual tone flash, 6P lens, PDAF and Hybrid AF. And guess what, the rear camera can capture 4K videos at 30fps! Up front, you get an 8MP front facing shooter with f/2.0 aperture and beauty 2.0.
Up front, you get an 8MP front facing shooter with f/2.0 aperture and beauty 2.0.

While some folks might say Windows mobile isn’t doing very well, it seems some manufacturers still have faith in the OS. One such manufacturer is PC and mobile manufacturing giant, Lenovo.
Lenovo, in a joint partnership with Japanese carrier, SoftBank, has announced the SoftBank 503LV which will hit the Japanese market by late October.
The SoftBank sports mid-range specs such as a 5” HD screen, 3GB of RAM, a snapdragon 617 processor and 32GB of built-in storage. The phone is equipped with an 8MP rear camera, a 5MP front facing camera for selfies, and is powered by a 2250mAh battery.
The phone weighs 144g and has a 7.6mm thickness. There is no word on pricing yet, but we’ll update this article once we get our hands on that.
Is there a chance we might see this phone outside of Japan, probably under a different Lenovo name? Maybe, maybe not.
Lenovo has unveiled a special Wooden edition of the Vibe K4 Note in India. The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Wooden Edition is only different in outlook from the Vibe K4 Note that was launched in India in January this year running on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system, which was later upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Wooden Edition comes with a cool wooden back constructed from Formica-like wood veneer but has been strengthened with layer of flexible polycarbonate. The wooden back design gives the device a natural looks that syncs with the environment.
In other specifications, the Vibe K4 Note is closely similar with the Lenovo Vibe K4 Note Wooden edition. The specs sheet include, a 5.5-inch IPS display with 1080p display with extra glass protection provided by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and an Octa-core MediaTek MT6753 processor with ARM Mali T720 GPU.
The sleek device boots Android 5.1 Lollipop with Vibe UI but the OS is now upgradable to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Lenovo started rolling out updates for the OS since June 2015. Other specifications include;13MP rear facing camera with dual-tone LED flash, a 5MP front-facing shooter, 3GB RAM, 16GB ROM expandable up to 128GB, dual-SIM support, 4G connectivity and a host of others.
With these array of specs and features, it is no surprise Lenovo claims to have sold over 750,000 units of the Vibe K4 Note in India alone. The Lenovo Vibe K4 Wooden Edition is available exclusively from Amazon India (Amazon.in) at a price of Rs. 11,499 ($172) which is a little higher than the original Vibe K4 Note with a price tag of Rs. 10,999 ($164.40) on the same site.
Over the past few months, a large chunk of the news about the upcoming iPhones have focused on the external features. It’s time we took a peek into the innards of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus.
The new iPhones will be launching with a new chip dubbed the Apple A10. The next generation processor which is built on the 16nm node as the Apple A9 is expected to offer better performance and have better power management.
The A10 which will be manufactured by TSMC, is still a dual-core processor like its siblings. It has shown up on Geekbench and the scores are pretty impressive.
The A10 has a single-core score of 3000. That is almost 500 points higher than that of the A9 which as a score of 2519. The new chip isn’t the most powerful processor in Apple’s arsenal right now, that prize belongs to the A9X which has a single-core score of 3010 and is found in the iPad Pro 9.7 and iPad Pro 12.9.
Rumours say the Apple A10 will have its silicon chips and semi-conductor compounds fused together to make it more compact which will result in a thinner phone or allow for a larger battery.
