Aug 11, 2015

ZUK just announced its first smartphone in the market, the ZUK Z1. The phone comes with impressive specs and a beautiful design, making it a great competitor to the OnePlus 2. However, one area where you might be a bit concerned is the processor under the hood, which is the year old Snapdragon 801. So, lets take a look at the ZUK Z1 Antutu score to get some idea if its still capable.

The company said that the phone managed to score about 46,000 on AnTuTu easily. This is not a bad score and considering that the Snap 801 doesn’t suffer from any heating issues as the 810, this could be a good move. Moreover, the company was also able to limit the retail price tag to just $285 by using an year old chip.

Now that the device is official, you must be wondering about the performance of the phone in real life. And within a few hours of launch, we have the first AnTuTu benchmark results of the ZUK Z1 flagship.

The flagship managed to post a decent score of 47,463 on AnTuTu. Although this isn’t as high as other flagships in the market like the Mi Note Pro or the Meizu MX5, but its still good enough to handle any tasks.

Feel free to share what you feel about ZUK using an year old Snapdragon 801 chip inside its first flagship smartphone. Was it a smart move to use 801 instead of the overheating 810?

ZUK Z1 Is Official With A Beautiful Body, 5.5-inch FHD Display & 4100mAh battery

Aug 11, 2015

After months of rumors and leaks, ZUK finally unveiled its ZUK Z1 flagship at Beijing today. We already knew a lot about this device, thanks to the TENAA listing and recent leaks, but now everything has become official.

The ZUK Z1 comes with top-end hardware, and a customized UI, to give you the perfect flagship experience. The company had said earlier that it would focus on the UI, and this is the first time, we get a glimpse of the ROM.

But before we take a look at the ROM, lets check out the specifications. The ZUK Z1 comes with a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution display. Under the hood is the Snapdragon 801 32-bit chip clocked at 2.5GHz. While this is an old chipset, it still quite capable. The company claims that on an average, the chip managed to score about 46,000 on AnTuTu.

Further, there’s 3GB of RAM on board, with 64GB of internal storage. It was important to have a large internal storage since there’s no option to expand it externally. At the back, there’s a 13MP camera with OIS and a front facing 8MP shooter.

One of the highlights of the ZUK Z1 is its large 4100mAh battery. This coupled with 2.5A fast charge, thanks to the USB 3.0 Type-C port will make sure that you don’t have to worry about battery life. It will easily give you more than a day’s usage. Further, even with the large battery, the body is just 8.9mm thick and weighs only about 175 grams.

Another highlight of the Z1 is the special multi-function U-Touch button. The user can perform five different kinds of function, like fingerprint, return/ back, switching back and forth between open apps, returning to home button and finally, opening up the multi-task management tool. All these functions can be used by slightly different gestures on the button.

As mentioned above, the ZUI is going to be a major attraction of the ZUK Z1. The company has incorporated a special security center in the background which automatically cleans up the device. The ICON designs are unique and the overall UI looks quite refined and beautiful. The lock screen color changes with the wallpaper. The company also adds that it has paid special attention in designing apps for the device. It took around 10 month to completely design the Calender app on the ZUI. In case you are wondering, the ZUI is based on the new Android 5.1 Lollipop version. You can even expect the Android M based ZUI version on the device later.

Overall, the ZUK Z1 turns out to be a great package. It looks good, has enough firepower underneath to handle any tasks thrown at it and finally, retails for a pretty decent price tag. You just have to shell out 1799 Yuan ($285) to get this 64GB version, which I personally feel is quite good.

Of course, we still have to see the device in action, and check out its 13MP camera at the back with OIS. There are other aspects to review like the new U-Touch button, but for now, the overall package looks quite good.

So, what do you think about the ZUK Z1? Worthy enough to be your next smartphone? Also, let us know whether you feel the company made a risky decision by using the year old Snapdragon 801 chipset inside.

ZUK Z1 SPECS SUMMARY

Aug 11, 2015

Meizu announced a number of smartphones lately, like the Meizu MX5, Meizu M2 Note and Meizu M2. However, not one of them came with the new Flyme 5.0 OS which made us wonder, when was the company going to release it in the market. However, Meizu’s Chief architect of Flyme divison, Yang Yan just revealed a lot many details about the upcoming Flyme 5.0 UI, along with a bunch of screenshots.

First of all, the Flyme 5.0 will soon enter beta stage which means the final version launch is very near. Yang states that we can expect the new Flyme version to roll out around the end of September or early October. Along with this, he also adds that Meizu MX5 will be the first smartphone to receive the update. Not surprising, given that the MX5 is the latest flagship from the company. After that, the Flyme 5.0 update will slowly roll out to other recent smartphones. Unfortunately, he didn’t mention the specific models which are going to get the update for sure.

You can check out the screenshots from down below. The overall design looks a little more refined, but it does feel like the continuation from Flyme 4.5. We have heard a lot many complaints from readers about bugs on the Flyme OS, and hopefully all of them are solved in the new Flyme 5.0.

Have a look at the screenshots below and let us know what you feel.

Aug 10, 2015

We are just a few hours away from the official unveiling of the awaited ZUK Z1 smartphone, but it looks like someone couldn’t wait for that long. Additional pictures, specs and pricing of the ZUK Z1 flagship have been revealed, showing that the phone will be a pretty interesting package.

The ZUK Z1 flagship is said to come with a 5.5-inch full HD 1080p display with last year’s Snapdragon 801 processor. There will be 3GB of RAM on board along with 64GB of internal storage. At the back, the phone will have a 13MP camera while up front, there will be an 8MP shooter.

The company had already confirmed that the ZUK Z1 will feature the new U-Touch home button that integrates fingerprint recognition. However, apart from that, the touch button will also support multiple functions, making it a bit unique. As for network connectivity, the phone will come with dual SIM dual standby with 4G LTE support. Another highlight will be its USB Type-C 3.0 port with theoretical transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. The battery will be larger than 4000mAh (4100mAh?) and the phone will run on Android 5.1.1 with the company’s own ZUI on top.

The pricing also has been leaked. The ZUK Z1 was spotted on JD.com for a price tag of 1799 for the 64GB version. Its actually pretty decent price ( comes out to $285) for the specs and the features that you get. Of course, we would have liked if the phone was a bit cheaper than this, but we will have to wait for official confirmation later today.

What do you think, is 1799 Yuan a decent price for ZUK Z1? Or do you expect a cheaper price than this?

Aug 10, 2015

Almost everyone from the smartphone industry has shown interest in wearables. Chinese smartphone makers revolutionized the industry with their low cost yet feature rich phones, and now, they are trying to bring this trend to the wearable industry too.

We have seen a couple of smartwatches from No.1 in the past, but they haven’t been as popular as the company would have wanted. However, the new No.1 Watch S3 looks promising, and could turn out to be a great circular smartwatch.

Everyone loves a circular smartwatch, and the company is using this popular round design to attract customers. The No.1 Watch S3 features a circular 240 x 240 pixel resolution display. The overall design looks good, with a scratch proof stainless steel case.

However, the highlight of the new watch is its SIM card support. Yes, the No.1 Watch S3 will come with a MicroSIM card slot, which lets you call, message and do a lot of additional stuff with your smartwatch. The company claims that this is the first circular smartwatch in the market with SIM card slot.

Another highlight is its nano-glass screen on top. This helps to keep the display as good as new, thanks to its scratch proof design. This is a very essential feature in a watch, since they are susceptible to scratches in your everyday use. So, its good to see the scratch proof glass on a low cost smartwatch.

You can wake up the watch, just by flipping your arm. Its as easy as that. Other features are pretty much standard like pedometer to track your steps, sedentary reminder, sleep monitor, remote control camera self timer, and remote music playback. Plus, you have a companion apps which lets you sync all the data.

One interesting feature that you don’t usually get on smartwatches is UV Detection. Its a unique feature, that helps you detect the UV radiation levels in the air. So, in case you worry a lot about the harmful UV rays, the watch can come in handy.

We haven’t yet reviewed the No.1 Watch S3, however, from the specs and the video shown below, it looks quite good. It is said that the watch will retail for somewhere around $60, which is a great price considering the features that you get. You have at least two colors for the case, black and gold.

You can check out the video below to see the device in action. Unfortunately, the video is in Chinese, but hopefully we can come up with our own review soon.

So, what do you think about this smartwatch?

Today sees another video from Elephone, this time comparing the P8000 with the soon to be released OnePlus 2.

Both phones are very fluid, its hard to say looking at the videos and without playing with the camera settings, but there appears to be a marked difference in colour reproduction.

Thankfully, I will be able to test the camera further in my upcoming review of the P8000 as mine arrived this morning, but so far and this is only based on a couple of hours playing with the phone, it appears to be well put together and the rom is really smooth.

Redmi Note 2 Price Leaked, This Time Its More Believable

By

-

Aug 10, 2015

Time and again, we have received reports that the upcoming Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 phablet will feature the flagship MT6795 Helio X10 chipset. However, if this was true, then the pricing leaked earlier, around $127 was definitely not possible.

Given that this is a flagship chip, with eight-cores clocked at 2GHz, there’s no way that Xiaomi could price its new device so low. But just a few hours ago, a new report claims that the Redmi Note 2 price will be around 1299 Yuan. This seems to be a much better estimate of the price,

Along with the MT6795 chip, the Redmi Note 2 will come with PowerVR 6200 GPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 5.5-inch 1080p display. There will be Android 5.0.2 Lollipop OS with MIUI 7 on top and 4G LTE network connectivity.

The above image shows us the basic comparison between the famous MT6795 powered models in the market. As you can see, if the Redmi Note 2 price is at just 1299 Yuan, it will be the cheapest Helio X10 smartphone in the market.

Anyways, we hope to get more details about the second handset, powered by Snapdragon 615 before the company makes it official. So, stay tuned for more details in the next couple of days.

Xiaomi’s first Made In India Smartphone, Redmi 2 Prime Official For Rs. 6999 With 2GB RAM

Aug 10, 2015

A few days back, we had reported that Xiaomi was planning to release the new Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime smartphone in India. Today, the company has made the device official for slightly raised price tag of Rs. 6999 Yuan ($110).

The company has reportedly partnered with China’s Foxconn to manufacture phones locally. This means, all Redmi 2 Prime units sold in India will be manufactured in India itself. The company has set up a plant in the Indian state of Andra Pradesh, making it the second Xiaomi manufacturing facility outside of China (first plant was at Brazil). Eventually, the company aims to manufacture all Xiaomi smartphones sold in the country locally.

There’s not much difference between the regular Redmi 2 model and the Redmi 2 Prime. The company has increased the RAM from 1GB to 2GB and storage from 8GB to 16GB in the upgraded model. Rest of the specs are the same. So, you get a 4.7-inch Sharp HD display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chip, 8MP + 2MP cameras, and a 2,200mAh battery.

The phone will sold via the company’s own store, Mi.com, Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal. For now, the company has not revealed any plans to release Redmi 2 Prime outside of India.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Spotted With Its Box, Specs Revealed!

Aug 10, 2015

Its almost time to see the new Xiaomi Redmi 2 model. According to the latest teasers, it looks like we may see the phablet as soon as Aug 13, when Xiaomi announces the new MIUI version. But before that, we have caught a glimpse of the upcoming device, thanks to a leak from a Chinese tipster on Weibo.

As you can see in the image above, we can see the new Redmi Note 2 handset placed just above its box. The design looks similar to the existing Redmi Note version. We also get to see its specification, which is once again similar to the one that was leaked before.

The new Redmi Note 2 will come with the Mediatek MT6795 oct-core chip, which is usually used in high-end flagships. There will be 2GB of RAM on board along with 16GB of internal storage. Up front, the phone will feature a full HD 1920 x 1080p display. The rear camera will be of 13MP while there will be a 5MP camera at the back. The phone will be powered by a 3100mAh battery and will run on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop version. Finally, it will measure 8.05mm in thickness and weigh about 159 grams.

1 of 5

These specs are much better than the current Redmi Note version. But it is said that a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 model with 2GB RAM is also in the works. We will probably see these two variants when its announced on Aug 13.

We are still not sure about the pricing, with recent rumors claiming that the phone will sell for $177, instead of $127 as previously said.

Honor 7i With A Sliding Camera Could Be Unveiled On Aug 20

By

-

Aug 9, 2015

A couple of days back, we saw an interesting Honor device which came with a sliding camera at the back. The rear camera slided up to act as a front facing shooter with flash. Uptil now, we knew it as the ATH-AL00, but it looks like, finally we have a name for the device.

Huawei had said that it will announce something on Aug 10. While we expected a new handset, the company revealed more details about its new Huawei Honor 7i smartphone. The exclamation mark that we saw on the teaser before was actually an inverted i. The company says that the new handset will be called as the Huawei Honor 7i. And its highly likely that the Honor device with the sliding camera is actually the upcoming Honor 7i.

The teaser that says “You Can Change The Vision Together”, along with the image, clearly shows that the phone will be a camera centric device. We haven’t yet seen a sliding camera design on a phone, so can’t really tell what are going to be its advantages. But it should offer better image quality at least in the front camera department, especially with the additional Xenon flash.

As for the specs, it is said that the phone will feature Snapdragon 615 with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage. But we saw another version, the ATH-AL00H on TENAA that day, which probably is the higher end variant with 3GB of RAM. We don’t know the size of the camera sensor inside, but we expect more details soon. Also, the pricing is expected to be between 1999 Yuan to 2499 Yuan.

Stay tuned for more details.

Xiaomi Is Ready To Use AMOLED Displays, Says IHS Director Kevin Wang

Aug 7, 2015

Ever since Samsung started using AMOLED displays on its high-end smartphones, we have seen many new phones with AMOLED panels. However, we haven’t seen many Chinese manufacturers use AMOLED displays recently. But that’s going to change, according to the IHS Technology Research Director, Kevin Wang.

Mr. Wang posted on his Weibo account that Huawei has already started using AMOLED displays on its smartphones. He further said that even Xiaomi is ready to use AMOLED panels on its devices. So, it looks like upcoming high-end flagships from the company will utilize this AMOLED displays instead of IPS LCD panels.

But we are not quite sure whether we will see AMOLED display on Xiaomi Mi5. The phone is supposed to debut in the coming months and since he said that Xiaomi is just ready to use the display, it could be a bit too early to see the display on this flagship model.

Kevin Wang also added that even Apple could be considering using AMOLED panels, but probably not with Samsung.

Meizu’s High-End Flagship To Use Exynos 7420 According To Analyst

By

-

Aug 6, 2015

In the past few months, Meizu has made a number of strategic changes, including establishing a brand new Blue Charm lineup. The changes seems to be working for the company, since its smartphone sales are better than ever.

Meizu VP Li Nan recently revealed that the company had decided to scrap the MX5 Pro lineup in favor of a new high-end series. Now, Pan Jiutang, a popular analyst reveals that this new high-end smartphone will use Samsung’s Exynos 7420 chipset. This is the same processor that powers the Galaxy S6 lineup and has received praise from critics as well as customers for its performance. If this turns out to be true, it will also make the new Meizu machine, the first Chinese smartphone to come with a 14nm processor.

The company is reportedly working on a lineup that can directly compete with the Xiaomi Mi Note series. So, its important that the performance is better than competitors. While Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 810 is powerful, its still criticized for its overheating issue. Apart from 810, there’s Helio X10 (available now) and Samsung’s Exynos 7420. If Meizu had to pick from these three options, it would have to be the Exynos 7420 due to its superior performance. Moreover, the 14nm manufacturing process makes the chip even more efficient.

Apart from this info, the new Meizu flagship is said to come with double sided glass design and a metal frame. The pricing is said to be above 3000 Yuan, much higher than what customers are used to paying for a Chinese flagship. So, this device has to be the best in almost all aspects to attract buyers.

When we asked our readers whether they would be ready to buy a Meizu flagship for 3000+ Yuan, many said that if the specs were right, they would consider it. So, if Meizu is indeed using Exynos 7420 inside its newest machine, its most likely going on the right path.
