Coolpad’s Dashen sub-brand has recently unveiled its newest logo, and its new product and service strategies for its new brands. It was also announced that it will launch the first phone of its flagship “X” series in January next year.
The word “Dazen” in the logo is a combination of Dare and Zenith. The concept of the brand can basically be summed up as “I believe in myself.” It is pretty clear that they are targeting younger users. Besides the X series, Dashen also plans to release the Dashen F and N series.
Today, Vivo revealed in their Weibo account that their new phone, the Vivo X5Max will have a 3.5mm earphone jack. It was previously leaked that this phone would have a thickness of 4.65mm. As you can see in the photo, the earphone jack nearly reaches the ends of the phone.
Furthermore, a Vivo insider also revealed that the Vivo X5Max would also use a Super AMOLED display screen made by Samsung. This screen only has a thickness of 1.36mm.
A Super AMOLED screen is actually pretty expensive as only Samsung has it so we can expect to increase the cost of the Vivo X5Max. We’ll just have to wait and see.
It was recently reported by Digitimes that Finland-based Nokia, Microsoft, and Ericson which have patents to telecommunications technology may declare a patent war against Chinese cellphone manufacturers.
Reports say that Chinese companies like Xiaomi, Coolpad, OPPO, Meizu and Vivo, which do not have sufficient patents, may be vulnerable to patent violation copmplaints as they branch out to the international market.
When these companies only targeted the Chinese market, Nokia, Microsoft, and the other companies were “not really willing” to take any legal action, but now that Chinese cellphones are selling more overseas, these companies may prepare to file suit in courts in the US and Europe.
Huawei, ZTE, and Lenovo may be able to endure such legal action as the first two have a lot of patents to 3G and 4G technology, while Lenovo has managed to buy a lot of patents.

Zeaplus is a new player in the market which aims to compete with the numerous other Chinese handset makers currently selling devices in China and worldwide.
We have already seen their flagship, the Zeaplus M6 which comes with a great design and top of the line specifications and now its time to look at the second device in their lineup, the much affordable Zeaplus M4.
The Zeaplus M4 comes with the same design as the Xiaomi Mi4, like the numerous other Mi4 clones in the market. This is not really a bad thing as we loved the new design on the Xiaomi flagship. It features an industrial grade aluminium alloy frame which gives the device a premium look.
The dimensions of the device (152.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm) indicate that its slightly bigger than the Xiaomi Mi4, but it compensates the extra size by shedding a little weight. While the Mi4 weighs 150 grams, the Zeaplus M4 just weighs 130 grams.
Inside, there’s a MT6582 Mediatek 1.3GHz Quad Core Processor along with 1GB LP-DDR3 RAM. The Cortex A7 processors are known to consume less power, so even with four such cores, it would not take a toll on the device’s battery life. You have 8GB internal storage which can be expanded via a MicroSD card.
Like the Mi4, the Zeaplus M4 too features a 5 inch display but with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The IPS screen comes with Glass-Film-Film (GFF) architecture, which means the pixels are much closer to the display as compared to non GFF screens. This results into brighter display even in broad daylight. Further, unlike other devices in its class, the M4 comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection which means you don’t have to worry about scratches on the screen.
With the 5 inch HD screen and a low power consuming processor, the 2,500 mAh Lithium Polymer battery onboard should be more than enough for a day’s usage.
The M4 supports Bluetooth 4.0, GPS/ AGPS, Dual band Wi-Fi b/g/n, and two MicroSim slots. The phone even comes with a multi-colored notification LED light along with four sensors namely Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Proximity and Ambient Light.
On the back, there’s an 8MP f/2.2 camera with LED flash and a wide 2MP front shooter. The rear camera is capable of capturing 2K videos with stereo recording and even slow motion videos at 720p resolution at 120fps.
Not much is known about the phone’s software but it will come with Android 4.4 Kitkat out of the box.
Now coming to the best part about the device, the Zeaplus M4 will be available to purchase in the next two to three weeks for an impressive $99 price tag. You also get 2 years warranty on every Zeaplus device including the M4.
Elephone is known for their affordable and value for money devices, which also means, the manufacturer generally pays little attention to the build quality and the overall design of the phone in order to keep its price low. However we came across an interesting masterpiece from the Hong Kong based company recently.
The device called as the Elephone P8 Pro is truly pro version in the Elephone’s device lineup and it looks like the company has finally paid a lot of attention to details while designing this device.
The Elephone P8 Pro takes some design cues from the larger iPhone 6. However, be assured that its not a clone, giving the device a unique identity.
On the front, there is a large 5.7 inch display which easily fits on its 157*81*8.2mm body. The bezels are thin and its rectangular body is curved around the sides, which should make it easier to hold the device. The ear piece, sensors and the front camera lies on top of the display while at the bottom, you have a Samsung like home button. Elephone has covered the front screen with a unique arc screen curved glass design which gives it a posh look.
The whole body is supported by a premium metal frame made from a mixture of Aluminium and Magnesium. The company claims that this is the same material used in iPhone 6’s border frame, making it extremely light yet hard enough not to break easily. On the back, you have a textured material which provides a good grip to the user holding the device.
On top of the back panel lies the 13MP f/2.0 camera with a single LED flash. The front camera is of 2MP.
The 5.7 display up front comes with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, which translates into pixel density of 257PPI. This is kind of disappointing given that the screen won’t be as vibrant or clear as other 5 inch phones from Elephone with the same resolution. Still, it remains to be seen the overall quality of the images and videos displayed on the screen of this new P8 Pro.
The device is powered by a Mediatek MT6592 1.7Ghz Octa Core processor with Mali 450MP GPU and 2GB RAM. You get 16GB internal storage which can further be expanded up to 64GB using a MicroSD card. On the back, you have a 2,650 mAh battery which should be enough for a day’s usage.
As for connectivity, the Elephone P8 Pro supports WCDMA 2100/850 (HSDPA), GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Wi-Fi n, GPS/ A GPS, OTG, FM, MicroUSB port, Bluetooth 4.0 etc. There are three sensors on board the device namely gravity, light and proximity sensors.
It comes with Android 4.4.2 out of the box, and support special software features like Air Gestures and Off Screen gestures.
We don’t have any more details or pictures of the device, but we’ll update you guys as soon as we get more information.
So, what do you think about this new offering from Elephone? Looks good right?
Recently, Chinese cellphone brand, BluBoo, introduced a new member of its X cellphone series—the Bluboo X9 4G cellphone.
As you can see from the photos, there are no buttons on the left and ride sides of the phone. Below the screen are two small dots that are supposed to serve as a return button and function key. The Home button has been replaced with speakers. The power and volume switch have been put below the rear-facing camera.
Like the BluBoo X6, this 4G cellphone uses the MTK6732 64-bit LTE chipset and has support for WCDMA, FDD-LTE, and GSM internet. It also supports dual-SIM cards. It has 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, a 2mp/8mp dual-camera, and a 5-inch HD OGS display screen. Its operating system is the Android 4.4 and it also has a fingerprint scanner that can be used to unlock the phone.
This afternoon, Meizu formally launched its new flagship phone, the Meizu MX4 Pro. This phone sports a 5.5-inch 2560 x 1536 display screen, and has the 20nm Samsung Exynos 5430 octa-core chipset, 3GB RAM, and a 5mp/20.7mp dual-camera. It is powered by a 3350mAh battery. One of the biggest features of this is its fingerprint sensor which is on the front. The regular version costs 2499 RMB (408.21 USD). There is also a 32GB version (2699 RMB/440.88 USD), and a 64GB version (3099 RMB/506.22 USD). All go on sale on December 6.
This phone is notable for several things. One of them is that it is the first Android phone to have a fingerprint sensor on the front. As for the design, its dimensions are 150.1 x 77 x 9mm, and it weighs 158g.
The Nubia Z7 was first launched on July 8 along with the Nubia Z7 Max and Mini. The latter two have already been released but its release is only being announced now.

Today is the big day. This afternoon, we will finally be formally introduced to the Meizu MX4 Pro. Prior to its launch, information on its specifications and design have already been leaked online, whether by Meizu themselves. Since the slogan for the MX4 Pro is “Think Higher”, I am guessing that we can expect powerful specifications from this device. Here are what we know s far:
It will have a fingerprint sensor that will be located in the Home button at the front of the phone.
Its camera will have more than 13mp. A few days ago, Meizu put out a poster for the MX4 Pro that said “Can a phone with a 13mp camera be called ‘Pro’?”
It will use the 20nm Samsung Exynos 5430 processor.
It will have a 2K display screen.
It may cost more than 3199 RMB (522.82 USD).
The Meizu MX4 Pro will be launched today at 2:30PM.
While Vivo will soon release the powerful Vivo X5Max for the high-end market, they will also release a nother device for the low to mid-end market—The Vivo Y28L 4G cellphone.
The picture below is an ad for Vivo’s latest release. Its dimensions are 137.37 x 68.57 x 9.78mm. It also sports a 4.7-inch qHD display screen. The width and thickness are about average.
The Vivo Y28L uses a quad-core processor that supports 4G, 3G, and GSM internet. It also has support for dual-SIM cards. It also has 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM. It also sports a 5mp/8mp dual-camera and is powered by a 2100mAh battery. It also has support for an electronic compass and other sensors. Its OS is the Android 4.4-based Funtouch operating system.
Meizu MX4 pro will be released today. We made a Meizu MX4 pro preview that it will be powered with Exynos 5430 2.0GHz +3G Ram+2560*1536 resolution. It seems to be a beast phone. But theoritically speaking, Meizu MX4 might be the winner based on their performance.
The fresh Chinese smartphone maker Zeaplus has opened the accesses leading towards their afresh launched website, which describes in detail about their first product in the mob-tech market, the Zeaplus M6 integrated with MT6595. Zeaplus is a novel Android phone enterprise from China which is devoting all of its technical expertise in producing much-affordable Android smartphones that will appeal the entry-level to mid-range bazaars out there in an effort to lower the expenses for the global consumers along with their warehouse located in Portugal.
The inauguration of Zeaplus’s official web-portal today is all but right now representing only first-hand forum with a little bit of the know-how about the corporation itself. Although, we were succeeded in locating a transitory narrative of their newly released smartphone on the website. Known as the Zeaplus M6, the phone resembles a look much like the iPhone 6, however, it is being run by the powerful octacore MT6595 processor that is also chipped in such smartphones as Zopo ZP999 and Meizu Mx4 respectively.
The other notable feature defined is that this processor will also bring the power of LTE to the device as well. Cost has not yet been disclosed by the company but no matter if they decide to introduce the phone with a considerable value, it would be worth an expenditure since the phone will come along with a sound 13 mega-pixel Sony IMX214 camera located in the beck, a latest Android 5.0 Lollipop, and a fingerprint scanning option within the home button. Surely, we will be routing the all-new Zeaplus as the company comes up with an assortment of new products in the market.
