Hisense NANA

From the hot selling of Nokia Lumia 520, Hisense phone was aspired to produce low price Windows Phone, recently, Hisense launched its first Windows Phone8.1 mobile phone, NANA, which provides Chinese version of Cortana voice service, with the price only 599, what’s more, the three touch buttons at the bottom of the machine are standard icons for Android, which means that this machine can root the Android system.

Hisense has not officially stated the method for rooting the machine, however, it should be noticed that the Hisense ANA HS-E260T only equipped with 512 MB RAM, it is estimated to be get stuck when running Android system, without mention large games, what’s worse, there is only 4GB memory for the machine, therefore, you shall not expect to run two systems in the machine at the same time. besides, although it is officially claimed that the machine is equipped with 200 Mpi camera (without flashlight), while actually it is interpolated from the 0.3 Mpi camera.

Hisense NANA

Nubia Z7 mini VS Meizu MX3:How to choose between them

Aug 24, 2014

nubia brand has suffered the critics from the Meize fans since launched, Huang Zhang even attacked publicly that the nubia cell phone is copycat brand. Here we are about to compare the nubia Z7 mini and mini MX3.

Nubia Z7 mini was released in July 2014, with the price of RMB1499; while Meizu MX3 was launched in September 2013, with the original price of RMB2499, and now is RMB1599 after one year, there is only 100 RMB gap between them.
Nubia Z7 mini uses 1920*1080 resolution 16:9 screen of 5.0 inches, with the 140.9*69.3*8.2mm dimensions, and the weight of 143g. Meizu MX3 applies 1800*1080 resolution 15:9 5.1 inches screen, with 139*71.9*9.1mm dimensions, weight of 143g, the hardware difference between these two phones is very small, and both uses narrow border design, therefore both of these two phones have good single hand operation experience.

In the rear design, plastic materials are used for the main rear machine cover of these two machine, nevertheless Meizu MX 3 applies piano finish design, and is equipped with stainless steel border, which looks round and smooth. While Nubia Z7 mini follows the frosted rear cover design of Z5S mini, with more cutting design at the four sides, which feels more strength.

The most disputed design between Meizu and Nubia is the “little circle” Home button, both of them considered the little circle as the design representative factor of appearance. Together with related gestures, the little circle in Meizu MX3 is capable of performing the functions of Return back, Exit, Set etc.; while in nubia Z7 mini, the little circle plus two other virtual buttons equals to the three virtual buttons of normal Android cell phone.

Meizu MX3 applied 800 Mpi camera, while nubia Z7 mini uses 1300 Mpi Sony IMX214 stack camera. the parameter of Z7 mini camera is higher, and the MX3 of 800 Mpi is better in optimum photographic effect; while there are some interesting photographing functions in Z7 mini, such as star cloud, star track and light track. For the battery life, the battery capacity of nubia Z7 mini is 2300mAh, and Meizu MX3 is 2400mAh, both of them are unsatisfactory.

Because Meizu MX3 was launched last year, it is a pity that it can not support 4G LTE, while nubia Z7 mini is a dual SIM 4G phone.

Conclusion:
Meizu MX3 with the price of 1599 is competitive, and it is estimated that the price of MX3 would be decreased after MX4 is launched on Septembet 2nd, however, the Nubia Z7 mini with snapdragon801 is more powerful, the most competitive feature is dual SIM 4G LTE, therefore, it is recommended to choose the nubia Z7 mini which is dual SIM 4G LTE.

An as the extension of X series, X5L would have more powerful HiFi music experience. The price for the first blue diamond screen flagship of vivo will be up to 3998 RMB, which will be the highest for the domestic cell phone.
