Yesterday afternoon, ZTE, in collaboration with China Telecom, released a new 4G phone called the ZTE Xiaoxian phone (ZTE A880).
This 4G phone sports a very beautiful design. The first version uses the panda design (black front/white back). This will be followed by yellow, green, and red versions. Its dimensions are 141.2 x 73.3 x 8.9mm.
The most appealing thing about the ZTE Xiaoxian is its camera specifications. It has an 8mp dual-camera with an f/2.2 aperture and 88 degree wide angle. Among its features, you can take photos by voice command.
A 64-bit cellphone, the ZTE Xiaoxian cellphone has the Snapdragon 410 (MSM8916) quad-core chipset, 1G RAM, 8G ROM, a 2300mAh battery, a 5-inch display screen with 720p resolution, and support for China Telecom 4G (TD-LTE, FDD-LTE), 3G, 2G, and dual-SIM. Its operating system is based on the Android 4.4.
Here’s some big news regarding the upcoming Huawei Honor 4X, which was first introduced as “Che1-CL20.” In its official website, Huawei announced that the Huawei Honor 4X will make its debut on October 28.
This phone is the first Honor smartphone to support all internet bands. Besides having support for 6 internet bands, it also has 2GB RAM, a 5mp front-facing camera, a 13mp rear facing camera, and a 5-in 720p display screen. Its round edges make it resemble the Huawei Honor Play 4. As for its operating system, it will use the EMUI 3.0 (kitkat).
The Huawei Honor 4X may cost around 1000 RMB (163.08 USD).
If you like the iPhone 6’s design but think it’s too expensive, then why not try the Lenovo Sisley.
This phone has a thickness of only 6.9mm and weighs 129g, making it very comfortable to carry. The Lenovo Sisley also sports a 5.0-in Super Amoled display screen with a resolution of 720p with a contrast ratio of up to 30000:1.
The biggest strength of the Lenovo Sisley is its 8mp front-facing camera. It has a 1/3.2 inch sensor and a front-facing flash. Other features include those that allow users to take photos by voice command. It also has a 13mp main camera with an LED light and F2.0 aperture, 1GB RAM, and 16GB ROM, the 64-bit Snapdragon 410 chipset, and support for dual-SIM and dual-4G. It also has support for China Mobile and China Unicom LTE networks.
As the launch of OPPO’s latest flagship device nears (October 29), let us summarize what has been reported so far about the OPPO N3.
Specifications
In early September, it was reported that this device would use a VOOC charger which is 4 times as fast as a regular mobile cellphone charger. It was also reported that this phone will sport a 5.5-inch FHD screen and will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. The phone’s chassis is said to be made of metal. It will also have a new cooling system called the “Ice Nest”
Fingerprint scanner and rotating camera
Perhaps the two biggest pieces of information about the OPPO N3 are that it will have a fingerprint sensor and a rotating camera. A fingerprint sensor is nothing new among Chinese smartphones as the Huawei Mate 7 has one. Recent photos show that the scanner will be located at the back of the phone. The OPPO N3 will also sport a rotating camera with 16mp.
Pre-sale cost
Recently, there were signs outside OPPO stores saying that they were accepting pre-orders of the OPPO N3 for 4298 RMB (702.18 USD) which is far more expensive than the OPPO Find 7.
Wico is preparing to release what they call the “world’s cheapest octa-core cellphone.” Its name is the “Wico S100,” or the “Lightning God.” A picture showing what appears to be a rendering of the Wico S100 shows that this will use a frame made of stainless-steel and will only have a thickness of 6.5mm.
Another photo shows the Wico S100’s battery. It appears that this phone will use a long thin rectangular battery. Considering the phone’s slim body, the battery may have as much 2800mAh.
As stated before, the Wico S100 has been called the “world’s cheapest octa-core smartphone” and will cost 89 USD. According to reports, it will use an octa-core processor from MTK, probably the MT6592. It will also have a 5-in OGS display screen, 1G RAM, 8G ROM, and an Android kitkat OS. It will also have WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth, etc.
Not long after releasing the iNew V3 and I8000, iNew plans to release another entry-level phone. This one is called the iNew U1.
The iNew U1 has a 4-inch display screen with a resolution of 800 x 480. Its processor is the dual-core MTK6572 chipset with 1GHz. It also has 512MB RAM, 4GB ROM, a .3mp/2mp dual-camera, and a 1400mAh battery.
One of the most important things about this phone is that supports Android 4.4 kitkat OS. It also has support for WDMA , GSM, and dual-SIM. It also has support for OTG, dual-WIFI, and an e-compass. As for its appearance, this is not a bad looking phone. One side is black while the other white.
Recently, DOOV released a 4G dual-SIM phone called the DOOV T20. Its core selling points are the fact that it has support for dual-SIM and its selfie specs.
The DOOV T20 has support for TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, GSM, and dual-SIM cards. One card is big while the other is small. Its processor is a 1.5GHz quad-core chipset which insiders confirm to be from MTK.
Female users may also buy this phone because of its fashionable design and selfie specs. It is available in pink, blue and white and sports golden bars at the sides. Regarding the camera, it has a dual-5mp camera with the CAM2.0 software.
Besides these, the DOOV T20 also has a 5-inch qHD OGS display screen as well as 1G RAM, 8G ROM, and a 1900mAh battery. Its OS is the Android 4.4. The price has not yet been revealed but this phone will go on sale this November.
Recently, a user on Weibo posted a photo showing signs outside an OPPO store that is already accepting pre-orders for the OPPO N3 for 4298 RMB, which is 800 RMB (130.70 USD) more expensive than fellow-flagship phone, OPPO Find 7. This is much more expensive than many devices produced by many Chinese companies. Can you imagine how stunned OPPO’s rivals like Xiaomi and Meizu are?
The biggest highlight about the OPPO N3 is its electronically-controlled rotating camera and fingerprint sensor. As for its specs, it has a 5.5-inch 1080p screen, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB, and a 16mp camera. It also has the new VOOC charger as well as a new cooling system called the “Ice Nest.”
Recently, the white version of the Lenovo Vibe X2 went on sale. This version is not completely white as it is only the rear cover that is white. The mid-frame and body comes in other colors like black and grey.
Other than the color, the specs of the Lenovo Vibe X2 White Version remain the same. It still has the 2GHz MT6595 octa-core chipset, 2G RAM, 16G ROM, a 5-in 1080p screen, a 5mp/13mp dual camera, and support for 4G, 3G, and GSM, as well as dual-SIM cards. It also uses the new Vibe UI and has a noise-cancelling microphone. It also has support for dual-band WIFI and a gyroscope. It also supports Blue Tooth connection.
The Lenovo Vibe X2 white and gold versions cost 2499 RMB, and this phone will be released in other colors soon.
As cellphones continue to become more advanced, so do their features. However, this has also led to greater concern over power consumption since in the fast-paced society that we live today, we do not have a lot of time to recharge our devices. As a result charging quickly has become big issue in the industry.

Unboxing
Front and appearance
The Philips Aurora I966 sports a very good-looking appearance due to the big changes Philips did, such as the round design.
This phone is the first smartphone to sport a curved 3D glass screen.
Above the screen is the phone’s 8mp front-facing camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens, so you can have more people join you in your selfie.
At the bottom of the front side are the return, Home, and menu buttons. There is also a background light so that you can use your phone at night. The screen is not too touch-sensitive which is good.
On the top are the 3.5mm earphone jack and secondary noise-cancelling microphone.
On the base are the primary microphone and Micro USB port which are neatly placed.
The Philips Aurora I966’s frame and body are black. It has a thickness of 8.2mm and it does not disappoint. The volume and lock screen buttons are placed on both sides.
Back cover
The surface of the back is flows well with the front. It feels very slippery and sleek.
It also sports a 20.7mp Sony Exmor RS camera with F1.8 lens. It also comes with dual-LED light.
The cellphone’s battery is built-in and the rear cover cannot be taken off. As a result, the Micro SIM card tray is lookated at the side. This phone has support for TD-LTE Band38/39/40, FDD LTE Band7/3, TD-SCDMA Band34/39,WCDMA Band1/2/5, and GSM Band2/3/8.
Display screen
As stated earlier, the Philips Aurora I966 has a 2K screen (2560 x 1440). Its resolution 1.64 times that of the iPhone 6. It is also covered by Gorilla Glass 3. It also has a high scratch-resistance and is very durable.
This phone also enjoys a very high brightness (over 500cd/m2). Theoretically, this is 30% higher than that of a regular FHD screen. Even when you use it outside during a bright sunny day, the quality will still be good. Here are some samples.
With a size of 5.5 in and a resolution of 2560 x 1440, we can estimate that this phone has a pixel density of 534ppi, which already surpasses the standard for a Retina display screen.
YunOS 3.0
Here are some pictures of the user interface of the YunOS 3.0 which was launched along with the Philips Aurora I966 which uses this OS.
From the pictures, you can see that the rectangular icons have a similar style. Everything is organized neatly. The colors are also pleasing to the eye.
It also has a voice assistant like Siri. Even when you are offline, you can still use it to make calls or send a text.
The YunOS 3.0 also allows users to do type in different ways such as typing by voice.
This phone is also NFC-supported.
Camera interface and sample photos
The Philips Aurora I966 has an 8mp front-facing camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens which is good for taking group selfies. Its main camera is also a 20.7mp Sony Exmor RS camera (IMX220). It also comes with dual-LED lights.
There are many things you can do with this phone’s camera. Features include taking videos, panorama shots, etc.
Hardware and performance
The Philips Aurora I966 has some of the most advanced hardware right now. It has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 80974AC quad-core processor (2.5GHz) and Adreno 330 GPU. Its RAM is 3GB (LPDDR3) while its ROM is 32GB. It does not support expanded memory cards, however.
One way of grading its performance is by looking at its benchmark scores:
Dalushi: 42408
Antutu: 38979
Linpack: 417.081；699.862
Quadrant Advanced（10802）
Vellamo: 1763；1191
Multitouch tester: 10
Nenamark 1: 59.5fps
Nenamark 2.4: 59.4fps
Battery life
Like its predecessors, one of the biggest features of the Philips Aurora I966 is its battery endurance.
With the use of L&CABC stand-by technology, theoretically, the power used by the background light can be reduced by 60%. This goes well with Philips’ main standby technology (Smart Power Technology). It can also lower power consumption for gaming and net surfing. This phone also has support for the new QuickCharge 2.0 technology which can fully charge your phone faster.
Even when you close “power conservation mode”, you can still use WIFI and the screen at maximum brightness without any problems. It’s even better of course, when you turn it on. You can end up using the phone for about a day and a half.
Conclusion
The Philips I966 is a big improvement from its predecessors when it comes to design and hardware. Its use of the YunOS 3.0 has personalized this phone even further, enough to match its rivals.
