LeTV X900 leaked again, no bezels and USB Type-C port!

A few hours back, we saw the leaked image of the LeTV X600. The image came as a surprise since it revealed that the phone may have slim bezels on the sides after all. However, the ones that we have been seeing for the past few days featured bezelless design and today, there’s another leak which confirms this beautiful design on the LeTV X900.

letv x900

The image which was leaked today isn’t as good as the previous ones, but it confirms the existence of the USB Type-C port on the LeTV X900. You can also clearly see the dual speakers on both the sides of the port at the bottom.

On the left, there’s the power button as well as the volume rocker keys. Also, on top of the display, you can see the sensors and the front camera. The device is rumored to run on the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with 4GB RAM and 20.7MP rear camera.

Both the models, namely the LeTV X900 and the X600 are expected to be unveiled at an event in April.

 

Xiaomi Ferrari spotted on GFXBench running Snapdragon 615 processor

Benchmarking sites like GFXBench have many a times revealed specs of upcoming smartphones. This time, it was one of the Xiaomi’s upcoming phones, code named Xiaomi Ferrari that was spotted on this benchmarking website. The device did not have a specific model number, but it could be a part of the company’s affordable Redmi lineup.

The GFXBench entry reveals mid-range specs. Inside, the phone has the new Snapdragon 615 octa-core 64-bit processor clocked at 1.6GHZ with Adreno 405, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage space. The display up front is of 4.9-inches and comes with a full HD 1080p resolution. The rear camera will be of 13MP while there will be a 5MP front shooter. Finally, the device will come with the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop version.

xiaomi ferrari 3

GFXBench reveals that the Xiaomi Ferrari scores 692 in its single core test and 2481 in the multi-core test. These figures are just average, but good enough for a cheap mid-ranger.

As you can see, the new Xiaomi Ferrari would fit perfectly into the company’s Redmi lineup. The octa-core processor, 13MP camera and Android 5.0.2 will ensure takers provided the company prices it appropriately.

There are still some information missing like the battery, connectivity options, and pricing. The display resolution in particular is a bit interesting, since we don’t see many companies use full HD resolution on a 5-inch panel. So, lets wait and see if we get more details about the Xiaomi Ferrari. If the phone is real, expect more leaks soon.

 

 

 

 

40-inch Xiaomi TV2 announced at an amazing 1999 Yuan ($322) price tag

Time and again, Xiaomi has proved that you can get quality gadgets even at a very affordable price tag. Today, the company unveiled the brand new Xiaomi TV2 and this time, it’s a large 40-inch TV which retails for just 1999 Yuan. This is an amazing price for a TV of this size, especially with the features that it comes with.

mitv-summary-s-bg08

The Xiaomi TV2 features a 40-inch Sharp Super LCD display and continues with the same thin and narrow frame design as its earlier generations. This makes the images and the videos displayed on the TV extremely beautiful. The display sports a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a static contrast ratio of 5000:1 with dynamic response time of 6ms. The screen boasts of viewing angles of up to 176 degrees.

mitv-summary-s-bg03

In addition to the large 40-inch display, the Xiaomi TV2 comes with all the goodies that its previous generation had. So, the TV has a Cortex – A9 powered quad-core processor clocked at 1.45GHz along with Mali-450 MP4 GPU and 1.5GB RAM. There’s 8GB of inbuilt storage space, which unfortunately is not further expandable via MicroSD. The Xiaomi TV2 supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Dual Band 802.11 a / b / g / n Wi-Fi, H.265 hardware decoding, Dolby + DTS Audio, USB 3.0 and even Bluetooth 4.0.

The TV runs on a modified version of MIUI for TV. Xiaomi claims the UI is streamlined to make it user friendly and people of all ages can easily operate the device.

xiaomi tv2

Given the size of the display as well as the features that you get on the Xiaomi TV2, the 1999 price tag is definitely a steal. The TV will go on sale starting March 31. The company has not announced any plans for international release, but we hope this year, Xiaomi brings this amazing TV to newer markets as well.

 

LeTV X600 leaked again, but this one has bezels!

LeTV is on a roll this year. The company is expected to launch two new smartphones in April, namely the LeTV X900 and the LeTV X600. Both the models have leaked plenty of times to give us an idea about its design.

However, the latest leak reveals something different. Up till now, we have received reports as well as images which claimed that the device had no bezels at all, but this image, leaked by upleaks reveals thin but visible bezels. The leak says that this is the LeTV X600.

letv x600

Just a few days back, we saw a LeTV device with almost zero bezels and beautiful design. The phone was reportedly the higher-end model, the LeTV X900. So, it looks like the X900 will be bezelless while its slightly less powerful brother, X600 will have slim bezels.

Of course, there’s another possibility. This particular leak is fake. We have seen so many leaks about LeTV recently that its hard to believe which one is real. And today’s leak doesn’t help us at all. So, as of now, its best to take all the recent news with a pinch of salt.

We are just a few days away from the official launch of both the devices, and then we’ll finally get to see the final design on these phones. The LeTV X900 is said to come with the powerful Snapdragon 810 processor with 4GB RAM and a 20.7MP rear camera. On the other hand, the LeTV X600 will reportedly feature Mediatek MT6795 64-bit octa-core processor with 2GB RAM and a 13MP rear camera.

 

 

 

This is what the 399 Yuan smartphone from China Unicom looks like!

Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun said a few days back that the company had no plans for a 399 Yuan smartphone. The news came as a surprise because everyone was waiting for a great phone at that price tag. While Xiaomi probably won’t be making such a cheap phone, China Unicom announced recently that it would take up the challenge to make a great phone under 399 Yuan.

399 yuan smartphone

Now, the first images of China Unicom’s 399 Yuan device have been leaked. These images also reveal that the phone will be manufactured by Little Pepper. The Chinese carrier had said that it was partnering up with a manufacturer in Shenzhen for its cheap device. Since Little Pepper has established itself as an affordable smartphone manufacturer, this partnership doesn’t come as a surprise.

399 yuan smartphone 2

To be honest, this 399 Yuan smartphone looks extremely well built for its price. Even in the hardware department, you get decent specs. The phone sports a 5-inch display with HD 720p resolution. Inside, it has a quad-core Marvell PXA 1908 processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. You also get an 8MP shooter at the back. Despite is super cheap pricing, the phone will support 4G LTE networks too!

Overall, the 399 Yuan smartphone turns out to be a great offering at this price tag. You get a decent screen, processor and even 4G LTE connectivity, which is at par(or even better than) most entry level offerings in the market. It is said that the phone will be available to purchase directly without any reservations, which is also good since we expect tremendous response for the device.

So, what do you think about this 399 Yuan smartphone from China Unicom? Looks pretty well built, right?

 

OPPO’s Bezelless phone now makes an appearance in a video!

Yesterday, we came to know that OPPO was working on a unique smartphone. OPPO’s Bezelless phone was leaked in pictures which showed off the beautiful display on the device.

Now, the same phone has made an appearance in a video, showing off the true bezelless design. So, for those who were worried that the images were fake, this should be a good indication of the device being real. Of course, even with a video appearance, we can’t really confirm that this is an OPPO device, since we don’t see any branding on the phone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMWYnNOblOg

The video shows off the device in action and from what we can see, everything was pretty smooth and responsive. We were worried that the bezelless design may hinder everyday operations, but it didn’t affect the experience, at least in the video. In fact, because of almost zero side bezels, the company could have reduced the width of the device, which will further help in handling it even with just one hand.

In case you are wondering, this is the same phone that was leaked yesterday, In fact, it seems that the video was taken around the same time as those images, since the background is exactly the same.

We also have to agree that the almost zero bezels makes the display stand out nicely. Watching anything on the device will definitely be a treat on that beautiful screen. Also, OPPO is known to incorporate high-end specs and display panels on their devices, so expect only high-end hardware (therefore performance) on the phone.

We sincerely hope OPPO releases such a device before the end of the year. Judging from the recent leaks, it looks like OPPO’s patented display tech may change the way smartphones displays are designed.

So, what do you think about the phone in the video?

 

Lenovo K3 Note takes on Meizu M1 Note for 899 Yuan

Lenovo is stepping up its game in the smartphone market with new releases this year. While the company announced more than five smartphones at MWC 2015 alone, now, Lenovo is back with another affordable smartphone, the new Lenovo K3 Note. This particular device will be a part of the company’s value for money Lemon lineup.

2e5cd2ad664240c2ae0e4f6a481ad3bf

Specs wise, the phone features upper mid-range specs. The Lenovo K3 Note comes with the powerful MT6752 64-bit octa-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz. This octa-core SoC can handle anything that you throw at it with ease. The processor is backed by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. The ROM is further expandable thanks to the provided MicroSD slot which can take up to 32GB cards.

3c9a9447ff814beca74fb15dcaaec782

Given that it comes with the ‘Note’ name tag, the phone features a large 5.5-inch display. To make things even more attractive, you have full HD 1080p resolution on this display panel. This is exactly what you get on the Meizu M1 Note. The processor, display and RAM are the same as the Meizu phablet which clearly shows that the Lenovo K3 Note is looking to take on the popular device.

At the back, you have a 13MP camera unit while up front, you get a 5MP shooter. The battery will be of 3000 mAh which should be enough to last for an entire day with moderate usage. Naturally, with such great specs, the 4G LTE connectivity doesn’t come as a surprise. It also supports dual SIM dual Standby. The phone is pretty slim too and measures just 7.6mm in thickness. Given its plastic design, the K3 Note weighs just about 150 grams.

57173048771d45bcbd5b2af12a988660

The new Lenovo smartphone features a very unique design. While the bright yellow shade doesn’t come as a surprise given that this is from the Lemon lineup, the company’s logo is engraved inside a large circular ring at the back, which gives it a unique look. Also, the speakers are located on the around the top instead of the traditional bottom placement.

Overall, the Lenovo K3 Note tries to carve out its own identity in this over crowded market. And it succeeds to a certain extent to get our attention. The powerful specs, unique design and a price tag that’s 899 Yuan ensures that the Lemon K3 Note is one of the best mid-range handsets out there in the market.

s_ec416bb066084470a2a54490a720cd11

In addition to this, there will be a different Teana variant of this smartphone, which will spot a “ceramic piece vibration speaker). The Teana version will basically provide a better listening experience as it will have an upgraded speaker, which is louder and produces a rich sound. To have this feature, however, you would need to pay bit higher price tag, which is 999 Yuan.

The new Ulefone Be Pure features MT6592M processor and Android 5.0 in a compact body

Ulefone Be Pro made the headlines at the start of the year with its beautiful OnePlus One like design and mid-range specs, all for a price tag under $170. Now, the same company has released a new smartphone called as the Ulefone Be Pure. While the device may take some inspiration from its elder brother, the Be Pro, there are some subtle differences in its design to give it a unique look.

001

The Ulefone Be Pure is targeted at users who are looking for a beautiful yet compact 5-inch smartphone. While many like 5.5-inch+ screens, there is a section of population who would prefer a compact device that they can operate with just hand. And a 5-inch display is just perfect for such users. The 1280 x 720p HD resolution on the 5-inch IPS OGS screen ensures crisp and clear display.

004

Ulefone has made sure that the phone is powerful enough to run any apps. That’s why you get the fast MT6592 octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz with Mali-450 GPU. There’s 1GB RAM onboard with 8GB of internal storage. While we would have loved a 2GB version, the company probably decided to go with just 1GB to keep the price low. From our experience, even 1GB is often enough for basic tasks.

ulefone be pure

At the back, you get a 13MP camera sensor capable of recording full HD 1080p videos while up front, you have a 5MP shooter. The phone is pretty compact with the dimensions 144 x 71 x 8.89mm and weighs just 30 grams. Finally, at the back, you have a 2000 mAh battery which the company claims provides up to 12 hours of 3G web surfing.

ulefone be pure 4

The highlight of the Ulefone Be Pure is the Android 5.0 Lollipop OS. The phone runs on Android 4.4 KitKat version out of the box, but like the Ulefone Be Pro, users will get an OTA update in June, bringing the phone to the latest Android version.

The Ulefone Be Pro was a big hit for the company, thanks to its affordable pricing. This particular model too is priced appropriately and will be available for sale from next week for a price tag of $149. You can choose between dark blue and white colors that you can see in the picture above.

 

This could be our first look at OPPO’s bezelless phone

Yesterday, GSMArena reported that OPPO was working on a unique display technology which could hide the slim bezels on a smartphone. The technology covers the existing rectangular smartphone display with a “special light guide structure” to minimize the visible bezels. Basically, the covering on the display refracts light in a way that the display extends beyond the unit, making us feel that the phone has no bezels.

The source said that the patent was applied on 19 December 2014 in China and it could take as much as six months before OPPO could start using this tech in their phones. However, it looks like we have got a first glimpse of the OPPO’s bezelless phone.

Two leaked images gives us the first look at the OPPO smartphone using this tech. The display has no side bezels at all, or at least it looks that way in the pictures. Even the bezels on the top as well as the bottom are quite slim, which should definitely improve the phone’s screen to body ratio.

Unfortunately, we are still not clear when OPPO’s Bezelless phone will be announced in the market. It seems that OPPO hasn’t received the patent rights yet and hence, it may take a while before a smartphone using this tech hits the market.

While phones without any bezels looks beautiful, there may be some problems with slim side bezels especially when operating the device. Also, the three bezel-less (of which two are leaked) phones that we have seen lately look very similar. So, it may become hard to differentiate between two models if all manufacturers decide to slim down the side bezels.

Anyways, what do you think about this leaked OPPO device? Looks real?

 

OnePlus One OxygenOS leaked again in pictures

OnePlus surprised everyone back in February when it announced its brand OxygenOS. However, up till now, we haven’t seen much of the ROM except for a few leaked images. But the company has assured that it will release the OS soon. In fact, we expect the new ROM to debut alongside the company’s flagship for the year, the OnePlus Two.

OPO oxygenOS

The company earlier said that it will offer the options of OxygenOS and CynogenMod to its users. So, they can install and use any one of the two ROMs on their devices.

OPO oxygen OS 2

Today’s leak doesn’t reveal much about the OS, except for the OS startup images. But previous leaks have shown us that the OxygenOS looks a lot like the slightly tweaked version of Android 5.0 Lollipop with flatter UI.

OPO oxygen OS 3Unfortunately, this is just a leak, so we can’t confirm whether this is the real deal. So, lets wait for a few more days to get an official look at the OxygenOS from OnePlus.

 

 

OnePlus One gets frozen in a block of ice, check what gets it out!

Smartphone manufacturers are known to use weird marketing campaigns to promote their products. Earlier today, we came across a post on Weibo where we saw the OnePlus One flagship killer frozen inside a large block of ice. And anyone who could get the phone from inside the ice could keep it. Pretty Good deal right?

oneplus one in ice2

Well, not exactly! When we say its a large, we mean it. The ice is about 4-5 feet high and quite thick too, which makes it extremely hard to get the OnePlus One smartphone that’s inside it.

oneplus one in ice3

A lot of people tried out their luck with the ice block, but nothing seemed to get through to the smartphone. For example, a person tried drilling into the block of ice, but without any success. Another tried pouring hot water on the ice block, hoping that it will melt off, but once again, that didn’t help.

So, did anyone manage to get the device? Yes, actually, there was one individual who managed to break the ice, that too using the old fashioned way i.e. violence!

oneplus one in ice

As you can see in the picture below, the person started kicking the ice block, finally separating the top half. Then, he threw the block down to the ground and started breaking what’s left using a hammer.oneplus one in ice7

Well, that did the trick for him as he finally got what was inside the block of ice.

 

 

Hands-on with the 5.5-inch Lenovo Lemon K3 Note with MT6752

Just a few hours back, we reported that Lenovo had a surprise in store for its fans, the new Lenovo Lemon K3 Note. The device, like its name suggests, will be an affordable phablet in the company’s lemon smartphone series. Earlier, we got to see two pictures of the device, and now, there are enough pictures to show off the exact design on this upcoming smartphone.

lenovo lemon k3 note 7

The back of the Lenovo Lemon K3 Note features a very unique design. The smartphone continues with the trademark bright yellow shade of the Lemon series. The Lenovo branding is prominent at the back, especially since its located inside a circular ring which looks like it protrudes slightly from the overall body.

 

At the back, on the top left corner, you can see the camera unit along with the dual LED flash while on the right, there’s a microphone. Interestingly, the speakers are not located at the bottom, but on the top right corner. The protruding lenovo branding may help in loudness of the speakers since it will not be muffled when the display is facing upwards.

 

Coming to the front, there is a 5.5-inch full HD 1080p display with capacitive buttons at the bottom. On top, you have a front camera unit and a receiver mesh. Overall Design wise, the Lenovo K3 Note looks well built.

lenovo lemon k3 note 9

As for specs, the phone is said to come with the octa-core Mt6752 processor with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. You can expand this further up to 32GB via MicroSD. At the back, there will be a 13MP camera while up front, you’ll get a 5MP sensor. The phone supports dual SIM cards and dual 4G TD-LTE networks. Finally, at the back, the K3 Note will feature a 3000 mAh battery, which is decent enough for a day’s battery life. Also, Lenovo has managed to limit its thickness to just 7.6mm, which is commendable given that the battery is large and can be removed.

While we don’t know the official pricing, it is said that the device will be affordable and will retail between 799 and 999 Yuan. The specs and the pricing puts the Lenovo Lemon K3 Note in direct competition with the Meizu M1 Note. Of course, the design on the M1 Note is much better than this Lenovo device, but still, its good enough to confuse potential smartphone buyers.

Lenovo is expected to announce the device later today. So, we will get more details like official pricing and international availability soon.

So what do think about the phone’s design?

 

 

 

 

Mediatek MT679X will most likely use AMD Radeon Mobile GPU

A few days back, we got a leaked product roadmap of the upcoming Mediatek processors. In the image, we saw that the MT679X, which will probably be the best SoC from the company this year. The processor is expected to hit the markets by Q4 2015.

Cortex A72 MT679X

The highlight of MT679X was the new Cortex A72 cores used along with the power efficient Cortex A53. While this won’t be the first Cortex A72 powered processor from the company (Mediatek already demoed the MT8173 with this powerful core at MWC 2015), this will be the go to SoC for many top end phones next year. The big.LITTLE architecture will also make sure that there is a balance of performance and efficiency.

Print

In our previous article, we said that Mediatek is in talks with AMD for a new GPU. While both the companies have denied to comment on its plans, once again Taiwanese media reports that Mediatek will most likely use the AMD Radeon series mobile graphic GPUs in upcoming processors. So, the powerful MT679X should be one of the first SoCs to feature the new Radeon series GPUs later this year.

It is still not clear which manufacturing process will be used by MT679X SoC, but reports suggests that it will be either a 20nm process or a much more efficient 16nm FinFet. Since, Samsung and even Huawei have already adopted a better manufacturing process, its more than likely that the MT679X will be the first Meditek SoC to use 16nm process.

Anyways, we expect Mediatek to officially showcase smartphones powered by this super fast SoC by early next year, probably by CES 2016.

 

 

Lenovo K3 Note with MT6752 and 2GB RAM leaked

It looks like every manufacturer wants a ‘Note’ in the their lineup. It all started with the Samsung Galaxy Note series and now, Xiaomi has a Note lineup, even the upcoming Beidou’s Little Pepper will have a Note smartphone. Now, its Lenovo who is rumored to release a Lenovo K3 Note smartphone.

lenovo k3 note 2

Earlier today, we got to see two new images of the Lenovo K3 Note phone. The device carriers the trademark yellow color of the series and features the lenovo branding inside a circular ring. On the top, we can see the camera unit along with the LED flash. There’s is nothing spectacular about the front, just the regular display and capacitive buttons at the bottom.

lenovo k3 note 1

Since, the phone is called as the Note, we can expect a bigger display, somewhere around 5.5-inches on the device. The source reveals that the phone will run on the MT6752 octa-core 64-bit processor along with 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. The specs indicate that this is a mid-range phone but its better to wait for more details.

There’s still a lot we don’t know about the Lenovo K3 Note like the camera, battery, display or even pricing. But if the phone is really under development, expect more information soon.

Bezel-less LeTV smartphone concept renders emerge and they are beautiful!

LeTV is all set to enter the crowded smartphone industry with at least two new high-end devices. We have already seen the specs of both the LeTV X900 and X600 models and they are top notch. However, even with such great specs, the highlight of both the devices is going to be its beautiful design.

62f6e6f0gw1eqen7loxscj20g80c576d

We have seen a number of leaks of the bezel-less design on the new LeTV phone and today, some folks from Weibo decided to make the complete renders of the upcoming LeTV smartphones from the information received till now.

62f6e6f0gw1eqen7lvfnlj20g509q0u7

Previous leaks have shown us a device with almost no bezels on the sides. And this is exactly what we see in these render images. Of course, there are bezels on the top and the bottom but they are acceptable. Overall, the renders of the phone turn out to be one of the best designs we have seen in a while.

62f6e6f0gw1eqen7lz4h9j20gw0aydhi

However, before you get too excited, remember that these are just renders and we will have to see the final product at the launch (probably in April) before we can truly confirm that the LeTV phone is bezel-less.

62f6e6f0gw1eqen7mjcz5j20g709l0u5

Like mentioned above, the specs of both the models were leaked a day before. The LeTV X900 is said to come with a Snapdragon 810 processor with 4GB RAM and 2K display. At the back, the phone is said to feature a 20.7MP camera while up front, there’s a 4MP Ultrapixel shooter.

Little Pepper smartphones are traditional known for their value for money quotient, especially since they feature great mid-range specs within 2000 Yuan. However, latest reports suggest that the company could unveil a high-end device as early as April this year called as the Little Pepper Note.

Ever since Samsung started using the Galaxy “Note” name for its high end phablets, we have seen many companies use the name ‘Note’ for their top end devices. The most recent example is of the Xiaomi Mi Note series. So, its not really surprising to see that the Little Pepper Note is said to be the top end model from the company.

The Little Pepper Note flagship is expected to feature Snapdragon 808 processor with 4GB RAM. This clearly shows that the device is targeted at power users. Moreover, the report also states that the device will incorporate the most popular fingerprint recognition tech in the market.

Unfortunately, we have no idea about the design or the looks of the device till now. But smartphones often get leaked a few weeks before launch and we could see some information in the coming days.

It looks like Little Pepper will release three new devices in the second quarter of the year, the first two strengthening its hold in the mid-range market while the Little Pepper Note marking its entry into the high-end market this year.

Snapdragon 801 and Snapdragon 810 had a lot of issues like heating. It used to heat around 50ºC which is a little more than it should. The reason of this was not disclosed by Qualcomm. Now Qualcomm are doing several tests for the heating problem with Snapdragon 801, 810 and the new 815. It shows that it would heat much lesser. The results show that the Snapdragon 815 is cooler than Snapdragon 801 and 810 too which means its powerful and at the same time it is optimized to be cooler then its predecessors.

The test was done with Asphalt 8 airborne which is a graphic intensive game and it clearly shows that Snapdragon 815 is much cooler.
