UMI had earlier released the Umi Voix headphones but that didn’t get much attention. Now, the company is back with a brand new Over-the-head headphones called as the UMI Voix Blu. While we are still not sure about the specifications of the device, from the pictures that we have received, the headphones look quite good.
The UMI Voix Blu will connect to any Android, iOS or Windows handset that supports Bluetooth connectivity. According to the box, the wireless range is around 10 meters which is quite decent.
It comes with an inbuilt rechargeable battery which provides music playback for around 10 hours. You can charge it back to full capacity within 2-3 hours via USB.
One of the highlights of the Voix Blu is its design. The overall body is super light and flexible making it possible to adjust it on your head according to your requirement and comfort. Moreover, you have five different buttons on the right hand side. So, you can play/ pause, forward, backward and adjust volume settings right from the headphone’s control unit.
The Voix Blu headphones also supports hands free calling, so, as long as you are connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth, you can talk on the phone. We are not yet sure about the sound quality of the headphones, but it supports advanced noise cancellation and powerful bass, so we expect it to be good.

Anyways, we hope to get the Voix Blu headphones for review soon, so that we can estimate the quality of the build and the audio output.
We have been hearing about a new power bank from Meizu for the past few months. Back in April we came across a leaked picture of a 10000mAh capacity power bank from this Chinese company but as of now, we haven’t heard anything officially. However, earlier today, a new picture of the upcoming Meizu power bank cropped up on the internet revealing a slightly different design.
Unlike the earlier picture which had a single tone silver color design, this new render reveals a two tone color design. You can see that the device features grey color at the end with a white finish on the majority of the body. Its quite slim which makes us believe that the capacity should be limited somewhere around 5000mAh. Also, you will find only one USB output port for charging devices along with four other LED lights for displaying the charge remaining.
Although Meizu has an event later today, it unlikely that it will announce a brand new power bank. Instead, we expect the company to release its new flagship smartphone for the year, the Meizu MX5.
Huawei also has an event later today, so stay tuned to the website for more updates.
OnePlus has been slowly teasing a few aspects of its upcoming OnePlus Two smartphone. Its been more than a year since we saw the first flagship device from the company, and latest rumors indicate that we will get to see the handset sometime in July.
Now, the company has released a new teaser which reveals that the OnePlus Two will feature Fingerprint ID. Apparently, the sensor inside the ‘Two’ will be faster than Apple’s Touch ID. We still don’t know whether this is possible due to a better sensor or some software tweak, but it will definitely speed up the process of unlocking your smartphone. The company aims to make fingerprint ID a core feature of the device, so it may not just be limited to unlocking the phone.
Interestingly, the two main smartphones that are going to launch today namely the Meizu MX5 and the Huawei Honor 7 are both expected to come with fingerprint ID. It looks like mainstream smartphone manufacturers have finally decided to make fingerprint ID standard among flagship devices.
We will be covering both the launches which will start in a few hours. So, stay tuned for more updates.
Doogee has been relatively busy over the past couple of weeks. We have already seen more than three new devices that’s coming from this Chinese company this year. Now, we have news about another Doogee device which will hit the market before the end of 2015, the all new Doogee F2015.
Company’s often include the year of launch in the model name of their flagships, and looks like the F2015 could be Doogee’s flagship for the year. According to our information, the device is expected to hit the markets sometime in September, which is still a couple of months away.
As for the specs, the phone will reportedly come with the MT6753 octa-core chip, which although is clocked at slightly lower speeds as compared to the MT6752, it comes with the advantage of additional network connectivity support. As a result, many new mid-range flagships have started using this chip instead of the MT6752. The processor will be supported by the powerful Mali-T760 GPU.
Other specs include a full HD 5.5-inch 1080p display with 2.5D glass with Gorilla Glass 3 protection, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of expandable memory and a 3000mAh capacity battery. At the back, there will be a 13MP rear camera (either Sony or Samsung) and an 8MP OV front facing shooter.
Apart from these specs, which are quite powerful, the Doogee F2015 will come with fingerprint identification. Other notable features include 1mm narrow bezels with screen to body ratio of 79 % and double flash at the back.
The device will come in Silver and Grey colors and will launch in September. Unfortunately, we are still unsure about the pricing of the Doogee F2015. But considering the recent leaked handsets, the company could price this device quite aggressively.
Even before Apple officially released its first wearable in the market, the Apple Watch, knock offs / clones started appearing online. We have come across many such Apple Watch clones in the past few months and looks like there’s another one coming to the market pretty soon.
We are talking about the new GoWatch which takes its design inspiration from Apple Watch. So, anyone who loved the Apple’s simple yet attractive design can take a look at this less pricey offering.
We don’t have much details about the GoWatch, but we do have some pictures which confirm an Apple Watch like design. As you can see, it comes with a similar silver colored case as the Apple Wearable and looks quite good too. We have a lot of pictures of the device, which we have added down below.
The GoWatch features everything you would expect from a budget wearable. It comes with MTK MT2502c processor and features pedometer, heart rate sensor, ultraviolet detection etc. You can light up the watch with just a flip. Another advantage is that the watch works with both Android and iOS devices.

Unfortunately, we still don’t know the official pricing of the device, but we expect more details pretty soon. Stay tuned for more information.
At the time of launch, the same phone was priced at 2300 Yuan. So, Xiaomi has officially reduced its price by around 300 Yuan, which is definitely a great move. When you compare the price drop in terms of dollars, now, the 16GB Xiaomi Mi Note version can be purchased for just $322 as opposed to the $370 price tag.
The company will be offering 300 Yuan vouchers to those who will purchase the device. As you can see, this definitely makes the Mi Note a great buy at the moment. Those are lucky enough to get the vouchers can redeem them any time between July 6 to July 13. What’s more, the terms and conditions of the deal state that if you buy more than one Mi Note from the same account, you may get multiple vouchers too.
Xiaomi Mi Note is a great device and this price will definitely attract a lot of interested buyers.
Huawei will release its latest flagship, the Huawei Honor 7 on Tuesday, i.e. 30 June 2015. We have already heard a lot about the upcoming device, including the possibility that there may be multiple variants. Now, latest rumors adds some more detail about this possibility.
According to Chinese media, Honor 7 will come in multiple versions and one of the biggest difference between these models will be the body and the material used. Earlier rumors indicated that the difference could be limited to the specs inside. However, it looks like the low end and high end versions will differ in the design too.
The low end version is said to come with round corners and a metal frame, rather than an all metal body. On the other hand, the high end version will reportedly come in an all metal body.
Also, it is said that the phone will be powered by the latest Kirin processor, most likely to be the Kirin 940 chipset. The performance is expected to be better than the Kirin 930 which uses eight Cortex A53e cores. Kirin 940 will be built on a 20nm process with possible configuration of quad Cortex A53 + Two Cortex A72 cores or quad A53 + two A57 cores. The cores will be clocked at 1.9Ghz to avoid overheating.
Apart from the body and design, there are differences in the specs as well. The low end version is said to come with 3GB RAM and 16GB internal storage while the high end version will come with 4GB and 128GB storage. There will be 16MP OIS camera, 5.2-inch 1080p display and a 3280mAh battery on both the models. Other features include full network connectivity and fingerprint recognition.
While we are still not clear about the pricing of the handset, expect the base model to start at around 1999 Yuan.
Oneplus 2 will be revealed on July 27th, and it’ll be the world’s first product to launch in VR. There are 2 specs were confirmed by official: the new Oneplus 2 phone will use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 v2.1 processor, and the latest USB type-c port. Today, a picture leaked on Weibo, and tell us about what the Oneplus 2 looks like.
The Oneplus 2 looks smaller than the One, but use a metal frame material. The screen should be still 5.5 inch, and with a removable plastic back cover. There is stereo speaker on the bottom, and the type-c port is in the middle. The new phone thickness is only 5-6mm, so it’s really slim. The leaked picture is not very clear, so we still need wait for a month.
The DG1 has an additional detachable ariel that allows it to also be used as both a phone and a walkie talkie featuring a powerful 1w transceiver it should be capable of communicating over a range of 3-4km, the walkie talkie operates in the 400 ~ 480 MHZ bands for crystal clear reception.
The DG1 could be the ideal phone for adventurous types that are going out of usual cell phone reception areas, allowing them to keep in contact and reduce the amount of gadgets they need to carry, it could also be great for those working on site in building trades that currently have to carry separate hand held radios and cell phones.
The DG1 also boasts an ratting of IP68 for shock, dust and water resistance, again making it a great fit for adventurers or those working outside.

Whilst the DG1 does not feature LTE it does have dual sim support along with an 8mp rear camera and 5mp front camera.
The addition rugged casing, IP68 rating and the walkie talkie feature make this a niche phone, that is certainly an interesting option for those looking for a sturdier phone that can roll with the punches.
The release is scheduled for next week with and the price will be $175, the DG1 will come in the following colours black, green, orange and yellow
When it comes to Xiaomi we all think of cheap, yet great smartphones they produce. However, the company has a huge portfolio of very affordable accessories to offer. It turns out that they produce not only power banks and cheap headphones, but also the Bluetooth speakers.
Well, we have seen a lot of Bluetooth speaker that cost around $100, but it seems that Xiaomi has a high quality product, which you can now grab for under $20.

In addition, it has the Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, which allows a wireless music streaming up to 10 meters (33 feet). Also, a built-in 1200mAh battery is said to last you up to 10 hours of continues music playback.
We haven’t tested the speaker yet but it other reviews suggest that this is a great bang for the buck. Of course, you can expect the best sound quality with a deep bass, but hey, it costs just under $20 this time.
The NO.1 is known for producing some clone devices for a low price. Although you may have heard about the company because of the variety of smartphones they offer, it turns out that they also produce smartwatches. The reason we are covering this is that the Sun S2 model looks like a bargain for what it offers.
We haven’t reviewed the device yet (hope to do it soon), but looks great as far as design and specs go.
The NO.1 SUN S2 smartwatch has a classic and elegant design and according to the manufacturer, it is the first smartwatch with the 44mm diameter circular shape. The NO.1 says that the device uses some exquisite materials and it embodies a perfect combination of technology and manufacturing skills.

Nubia is quite a popular Chinese brand, established by a tech giant ZTE. We have all seen great devices, which have a decent price tag. In turns out that the company does not want to settle with their devices portfolio as one of the general managers has recently announced that the company may introduce a new – My series devices line as early as in July.
According to some reports, the new My series smartphones will concentrate on design and build quality. Also, some of them may be female-oriented.
To support these rumours Weibo user @Felix has leaked a few spy blurry shots of upcoming Nubia device. The leaked photo suggests that this device has some clear inspirations from the Oppo R7 in terms of design. Also, it uses the same materials, which mainly include metal and glass.
In addition, we can see that the device spots a signature Nubia home button with pulsing light effect, a very slim body and the back shell uses a gold colour metal material. Moreover, it looks like a new smartphone uses a 2.5D glass technology.
It is said that Nubia will launch this device next month, although the exact date is not disclosed. We will keep you posted on the latest news and all the updates.
Xiaomi is not widely known not only for its smartphones but also for a wide array of accessories. This time around about the Xiaomi Piston headphones, which were released some time ago. However, due to its popularity the company decided to launch some new colour options, which include glacier blue, lilac, and cherry pink. As usual, the headphones will carry a ridiculously low price of just 49 Yuan (around $15) in China.
The new colour options are said to be “The most suitable for the streets”, meaning that they are mainly designed to express your individuality. It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi did some things to improve the quality of the headset.
In order to improve the toughness of the headset, the Kevlar fiber material was added in manufacturing the headphone wire. Thus, it should prolong the life of the cable and makes it more sturdy. What is more, the headphones have a flat cable design.
Other features worth mentioning are the built-in mic, which is fully compatible with Xiaomi and mainstream Android smartphones. The buttons let you take a full control of volume, play/pause, answer or hang up the call and other features.
Apple users will be also able to use the play/pause, answer or hang up the call features.
Some key specs of these headphones include impedance – 32Ω, sensitivity – 98dB, frequency response range 20-20000Hz. In addition, the headphones have a weight of 15g. Also, the headphones use some sound enhancement technologies like a “sandwich diaphragm” metal composite technology and third-generation balance damping system and so on.
The headphones are already on sale in China and can be purchased via official online MI store.
We all know that we have so many great devices that are coming out in China. However, many of them don’t have Google Play/Services pre-installed out of the box. Sometimes, there is an easy way to do it, other time you have to wait for a particular workaround.
Of the devices that need to get Google Play installed manually are Letv Le, Le 1 and Le 1 Max. They are all beautiful devices with some killer specs sheet, but this shortcoming is something users in the West can’t live without. In case you missed Letv Le 1 (One/S1/X600) review,you can check it out here. Also, please stay tuned as I already have the Le 1 Pro in my hands and working on another review.
A lot of you guys have asked me how to install Google Play Services on Letv smartphones, so I decided to make a short tutorial video to help you out. Make sure to watch the entire video as you need to follow all the steps carefully.
Step No. 1 would be that you have to download the Google Installer apk and sideload it on your Letv smartphone. The link is in the description below this video on Youtube.
Once you’ve done you have to install the Google installer app l as you would install any app.
Once the installation process is done, you have to open up the app and select Google Play app to install. Then you will receive a message saying that you don’t have Google Services framework. Here you have to click ok and select the install icon located on the bottom then select continue and wait till all the apps shown in the list are downloaded. Sometimes it may take a few minutes, just let your device rest for a while.
Once the apps are dowloaded you will be prompted to install them one by one. It is very important to select install option for all the apps except for the Google Play store at this stage. Once you are asked to install Google Play Store, you have to click cancel.
As soon as the installation Google Play Services, Google Account Manager and Google Services framework is done, you have to close the application and reboot your device.
After you have rebooted your Letv smartphone, you have to launch Google Installer app again and then select Google Play from the list, download it and install it. Once you’ve done that, you have the Google Play Store with all the Google Services up and running on your device.
What you want to do right now is set up you Google account and start downloading the apps you need.
However, you will receive a Google Play Services error message and will be prompted to update it. You have to do that immediately to make sure the apps are running smoothly.
Some other things I recommend doing is to install any third party keyboard like Google Keyboard as the preinstalled one has too many Chinese aspects in it. In addition, I downloaded the Google app to make sure I have the best Google integration possible.
During the past year, chinese based smartphone company Elephone managed to stand out as a budget manufacturer with a low to middle class of everyday smartphones using the current MTK based SoC processor.
At the start of this Elephone G6 article I would just like to point out a more than solid manufacturer and user community on the manufacturer web site with a support forum on which for all models can be found the latest official ROM (also custom ones from user community) and official/unofficial technical support.
Today an indepth test of a model Elephone G6 is on the itinerary, so for starters the official specifications (by the manufacturer):
Elephone G6 is powered by upto 3G supported (no LTE speed) MTK6592 Cortex A7 CPU clocked at full speed with 1.7 Ghz with octa-core design (System on a Chip) which is more than capable for most of today 2D/3D games and any other system demanding graphic applications like image processing or video viewing/editing. Antutu score on several tests results even over 30000+. High demand gaming although can heat up the phone after prolonged usage, but not as serious as quad-core models.
Although a phone with installed 50+ games/apps (and some of them remaining in memory) losses its razorblade bechmarking touch. 🙂
The phone uses a 1 Gb of RAM and is ROM of 8 Gb total (to user is available just over 5 Gb-EMMC) with a supported capacity for MicroSD/TF cards of 64 Gb (somewhere 32 Gb noted) so a test for both will be done soon (current 16 Gb).
Display (HD-720P) offers an middle to upper class IPS display with a high DPI of 293 with a display angle of approx. 180° (horrizontally/vertically) with 24 bit color which offers sharp and crisp images indoors and outdoors with a higly clear image even in direct sunlight. Colors are correct and vivid with a correct saturation. The screen is of course capacitive and multi-touch (5 points) with proximity and ambient light sensor. The screen is protected with first generation Corning gorilla glass protection.
Battery of 2250 mAh is sufficient for a standard everyday user with talk time of 4,5 h on 3G (8-9 hours on 2G), music play of 8,5-9 hours and video play of approximate of 4 hours as the 5 inch display uses the most of the voltage as the CPU/GPU combination offer a low power consumption. Battery is removable so if the cells deteriorate there is always a possibility a replacement somewhere online.
Location positioning is regular for most of today’s smartphone models, GPS with A-GPS support (EPO). First positioning can take a while (up to 30 seconds) in crowded urban area but every latter attempt will result in a few second tops positioning with at least 7 satellites (for example Google Maps will position within one second).
Elephone G6 is running an AOSP version of Kitkat (Android 4.4.2) with a MIUI like main home launcher (support app drawer).
Android version is more-less a standardized version but with a couple of notable features which are:
-gesture sensing (Camera/Gallery)
-off screen gestures (kernel supported double tap to wake, etc.) with selection of predefined gestures for application shortcuts
-LED notification light support
-Flash alert (calls/messages)
-Fingerprint scanner (the lowest price smartphone with an active scanner), can be somewhat stubborn until you get the hang of the position and the speed for setting up but is functional and a more than praised worthy feature. The phone can come pre-rooted or if not the rooting process can be done by several solutions (example Kingroot).
During the test no force-closes or undescribed lags occured and Google Play managed to find and install any application/game requested, both on the phone and on Google play website (which recognized the phone correctly).
Phone supports gravity, light, gesture sensor, acceleration sensor and a function compass (unlike previous MTK SoC generations). Distance sensor is also included which surprises due to the smartphone price.
The connection is through a standard 5pin micro USB port with a 1A charger and a USB OTG support (through an adapter, which can be easily acquired for example on eBay for 1$) .
The Phone is capable for 2G/3G GSM speeds (HSDPA, at least 7,2 Mbps) with WiFi capabilites 802.11 (a/g/n) which offers a more than solid connection and signal coverage (50 meters from router base upto 60 % signal). Bluetooth 4.0 revision is supported with speeds upto 25 Mbps.
Elephone G6 has a dual-camera support with a symbolic 2Mp front one with a VGA recording support and a back camera of 13 Mp (information regarding sensor and manufacturer are unclear) with f/2.2 aperture, which most likely is OVT OV8865 (8 Mp sensor) so it could be that the camera picture is interpolated. Nonetheless the outside picture quality on both cameras is more that satisfying for the price range with a more than adequate night picture (with usage of LED flash).
Noticeable the back camera supports smile detection, 4x digital zoom, autofocus and an object traceable focus (touch/follow) which is more-less successfull 🙂 .
Back camera supports HD video recording at 1920×1080 with video stabilization. Maximum camera driver supported bitrate at test was 8Mbps with 30 FPS, so the recorded video can easy replace a standard camera/photo device with 8/12 Mpx.
Phone is offering an excellent weight of only 125 grams with a leaflike thickness of only 7.7 mm so on the aesthetic side (including a modern logo design) the phone gives an impression of a more-costly smartphone model with a fluid silhouette.
Taking in consideration the current price range (below 130 $) and included configuration of the smartphone this is a middle to high-end capable smarthphone with a good clear outer speaker on which movies and music play is almost a joy with high output volume. FM radio with headphone antenna is a regular feature on this phone type.
Screen and the overall speed is fluent with no delay in tasks like application start/switch between active applications and accompanied with a good camera the phone is surely recommended.
Also a brand image and continuity on the market will add to the Elephone image which also will accompany for an easier accesory buying online. 🙂 Good job.

ZTE’s Nubia sub-brand has been doing quite well in the Asian market. So, it looks like the company is finally ready for the North American market with its brand new company, AXON.
Well, ZTE has not officially confirmed that AXON is a sub-brand, but after thorough research, certain people have found connections leading back to this Chinese giant. For example, there are ZTE written in a number of places on the website’s source code. Also, the domain name, axonphone.com, was initially owned by ZTE for a number of years.

The overall design looks good, and the pricing should be somewhere around $500. The company will announce the Axon phone in the New York event scheduled for July 14. Stay tuned for more details till then
LeTV made the headlines back in April by unveiling a trio of smartphones for the first time in its history. The company, which deals with online video content decided to try out its luck in the smartphone market this year. And from what we have seen, all the three devices are extremely well built with the top specs.
Now, two of the LeTV smartphones have been listed on OPPOMART and they are also in stock. So, those who were thinking about purchasing these two devices can head on to the website and check them out.
The LeTV One Pro comes with a 2K 5.5-inch display with a powerful Snapdragon 810 SoC underneath. There will be 4GB of RAM on board with a 13MP Sony camera with OIS and USB Type-C port. As you can see, the specs are in line with what a flagship model offers these days, but the real highlight of the phone is its bezelless display! The beautiful screen up front with the all metal body makes it one of the best looking handsets oin the market right now.
If you are looking for something cheaper, you can check out the LeTV One smartphone too. It comes with a 5.5-inch full HD 1080p panel with MT6795 octa-core chipset and 13MP Sony camera. Even this model comes with the latest USB Type-C port. While this one’s not truly bezelless, we were impressed with the device in our review. Its a great smartphone at just $299, definitely bringing value to your money.
Doogee DG700 Titan 2 was one of the best offerings from the company till date. The phone was built to last, capable of withstanding most kinds of damages. Along with its super strong body, the D700 came with decent specs which made it a great choice for customers.
Now, it looks like the company is preparing the next generation version of the model. And the new leak suggests that specs wise, the Doogee DG700 Pro will be a high-end handset.
The leak states that the Doogee DG700 Pro will come with a 5-inch full HD 1080p display with 3GB / 4GB RAM on board. As for the processor, there will be a powerful MT6795 Helio X10 octa-core chip under the hood. Like the previous generation, the DG700 Pro will come with a large battery, expected to be around 6000mAh. There’s even rumors floating around that the phone could feature dual displays like the Yotaphone, but we are not sure of that.
Anyways, this particular leak definitely shows us that the Doogee DG700 Pro is a high-end rugged handset. However, as with all leaks, unless the company confirms the specs, there’s always a good chance that the actual specs may turn out a bit different.
Anyways, the expected launch is around September, which means there’s still some time. If the phone is under development, expect to see more information pretty soon.
We have been hearing a lot about UMI Iron which is going to be the company’s new flagship smartphone for the year. Most of the specs as well as features of the device are already known to us, but a source close to the company has revealed to us that the final product will feature a new tech that’s even better than Fingerprint ID.
Just yesterday, we got our hands on the engineering sample of the UMI Iron, but it looks like the final product will have additional features as well. Our source reveals that the phone will feature a hypertech which will be much more secure than the fingerprint ID seen on other phones. While we still don’t know the exact nature of this tech, the company will reportedly reveal more details next week itself.
We know that Iris recognition is much more secure than fingerprint ID, so this tech could end up on the phone. If this is the case, then it will definitely make Iron a unique smartphone in this crowded mid-range market. However. it still won’t be the first company to experiment with Iris recognition as we have seen a couple of manufacturers try out this tech on their flagships.
The engineering sample looked quite well built and fluid, and we hope the final product is even better. You can check out our hands on with the phone from here.
