Cellphone companies have always strived to make the thinnest cellphone possible from Oppo to Vivo, and later Gionee whose latest Elife cellphone is 5.1mm setting the Guinness world record for thinnest cellphone in the world. But it looks like this may change soon as it has been rumoured among certain Weibo users that OPPO R5 may produce a smartphone that is between 4mm and 5mm thick.
As of now, this rumor has not been confirmed, so, we can only wait.
So far, out of Xiaomi’s products, only the Mi4, Mi3, Mi2/2S, and MI2A can run the MIUI 6 operating system.The Xiaomi Red Mi and Red Mi Note are the only ones that have not been able to try it until now.
@MIUI_ROM released a photo that showed what appeared to be the MIUI 6 running on the Xiaomi Red Mi Note, specifically, the Red Mi Note Enhanced Edition. The OS is based on the Android 4.4.4 and is the MIUI version 4.10.22.
As of now, Xiaomi has not announced when Red Mi Note users can upgrade their operating systems, but based on this photo, it looks like it could happen sooner than you think.
Does anybody remember that iPhone 6 lookalike, the Lenovo S90? It looks like it is finally going on sale.
This phone has a 5-inch 720p display screen, a quad-core processor (1.2GHz), 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM, an 8mp front-facing camera, and a 13mp rear-facing camera. As for its operating system, it runs the Android 4.4.4.
As you can see from the photos, it looks pretty similar to the iPhone 6, but fortunately, it does not have a protruding camera. This phone costs 1999 RMB (326.36 USD) and should attract many female consumers.
China-based Cellphone maker Axgio has opened an official store named Axgio US on Amazon.com, the world’s biggest online shopping platform, in an effort to better serve customers in the US.

What is the most expensive Chinese cellphone? It is probably this one.
An Android 3G cellphone called the VEB V2 recently went on sale online and its biggest selling point is said to be the fact that it uses a third-generation 128-bit encryption chip, similar to the ones that China’s big four banks use for security purposes.
The price is unbelievable as the VEB V2 costs up to 199,999 RMB. The specs though are very week. It only has a 4-inch 480 x 800 display and 512MB RAM.
VEB’s other devices are not exactly cheap either. Their cheapest phone costs 7999 RMB (1305.11 USB), while their two other devices cost 37999 RMB (6199.87) and 49999 RMB (8157.78 USD).
At the launch of the Meizu MX4, the company promised that the Flyme 4.0 OS would also work on the MX3 and possibly the MX2 based on the circumstances. Now, Meizu has confirmed that the Meizu MX2’s OS would also run the Flyme 4.0.
This morning, according to Flyme’s official Weibo account, the firmware for the Flyme 4.0 for the Meizu MX2 and MX3 will soon undergo closed beta tests, and 500 users can participate in each of the two tests. Take note that, according to Meizu, once their operating systems are upgraded to the Flyme 4.0 OS, the user cannot bring them back to the Flyme 3.0, so those interested in participating should carefully consider. Since Meizu’s engineers are already working on the Flyme 4.0, updates for the Flyme 3.0 should stop by early next week.

On the 21st, at the Meizu-Aliyun joint launch in Beijing, the Meizu MX4 Silver Wings Edition was released along with the YunSO version of the MX4.

It also has a thickness of about 7mm, making it one of the thinnest cellphones for older users around. Regarding its specs, the Nibiru Saturn 1 sports a 4.5-inch FWVGA display screen. For older users, specifications are not actually that important.

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.

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.
