Like many cellphone brands, BIRD has started aiming for the 4G market. Recently, they revealed their newest 4G phone, the BIRD L600.

 

The BIRD L600 does not have specs that are as good as the L7 4G phone which, like the L600, also uses China Mobile. The L600 can support TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA and GSM internet, and its processors are the MT6582 (1.3GHz) quad-core processor and the MT6290.

 

The BIRD L600 sports a 5-inch display screen with qHD resolution (960 x 540) and also has 1GB RAM and 4GB internal memory space. Its cameras are also weaker than the L7’s. Its front-facing camera only has .3mp while the rear-facing camera has 5mp.

 

As of now, all devices that use 4G chips from MTK use the Android 4.42 OS. The BIRD L600 is no exception and uses the KitKat system. As the photo shows, there is a small hole above the main camera which means that this phone may support dual-microphone noise-cancellation.1-140PF01ZAb 1-140PF01T3K3

UMI will soon release a new flagship phone with a 5.5-inch display screen. The UMI C1 can also be called the Big Red Bull Mini. This phone is only 7.9mm thick.

 

Many users should enjoy the UMI C1’s display screen as the phone sports a 5.5-inch LTPS display screen with HD resolution that uses OGS technology. It is also coated with Corning Glass 3. Such specs surpass many phones that also have 5.5-inch screens.

The ASUS T45 sports a 4.5-inch display screen with FWVGA resolution (854 x 480) and a .3/5mp camera. It also has 512M RAM and 4GB ROM, and is powered by a 1750ma battery.

Colorfly has recently released new information on their upcoming octa-core tablet, the G718 which was first revealed at a computer exposition in Taipei.1-140P51413525D

 

 

Leaked renderings of the Colorfly G718 show that this phone will have a very narrow frame with the display screen held tightly. Although this is not a bad idea, since it sports a 6.98-inch IPS display screen with 720p resolution, at most, it can only be handled using one hand.

Only a few months left until Meizu releases their newest flagship phone, the MX4.

 

Previous snapshots of the MX4, which is set to come out in September, show that its design is very similar to the MX3’s, except that the former has a narrower frame. The MX4 will continue to use the Samsung Exynos 5430 processor and will sport a 5.4-inch 2K display screen and a 20.7mp rear-facing camera. It will also support fingerprint recognition. Some reports, however, say that the MX4’s processor is actually the MTK MT6595 octa-core chipset.

 

Regardless of what processor the MX4 will use, its 2K display screen should be popular with many users. This afternoon, the chief inspector for iSuppli Corp., @Kevin王 , also confirmed that the MX4’s display screen would have 2K resolution.

IUNI releases teaser poster for U3, hints that it will use a 2K screen

By
Frank Tu
-

IUNI recently posted a poster on their official Weibo account teasing their follow-up to the IUNI U2, the IUNI U3.

 

The poster shows the Chinese character “显” (show) with the English word shown in the middle representing the line in the “曰”character. We can guess that the biggest highlight of the U3 must be its display screen (显示屏). It will most likely have 2k resolution.

003215649

 

If it’s true, then we won’t need to make a lot of guesses about the screen’s size. Unless it’s more than 5.5 inches large, then there’s no point to having 2K resolution. Furthermore, there’s one little part of the poster that is worth mentioning. Look at how thin the horizontal lines in “曰” character. It looks like a frame of a cell phone placed horizontally. The narrower the frames of a phone’s screen are, the higher the aspect ratio it will have. Does this mean that the U3 will have a very thin frame and high aspect ratio?

 

We’ll only know when IUINI formally launches the U3.
