This afternoon, Nubia will hold a launch event for the products it will release during the summer of 2014, where they will formally release its newest flagship phone, the Z7.
As previous reports have stated, a high-end version and low-end version of the Nubia Z7, whose model number is NX505J, will be released. The high-end version will use the Snapdragon 805 processor (to be sold in China first), and sports a 2K display screen, 3GB RAM and a 16mp camera. As for the low-end version, it will use the 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801, and sports a 1080p display screen, 2GB RAM, and a 13mp camera. Both versions support dual-SIM and 4G internet.
As we reported before, a new device with the model number 507J was featured at the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. It sports a 5-inch 1080p display screen, runs on a 2GHz quad-core processor, has 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory storage, and is GSM/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA/TD-LTE-suppported.
Unless things don’t go as we had expected, both the NX505J and 507J should come out this afternoon. What are they really? We can only wait and see.
As the 4G wave continues to dominate the cell phone market, a new 4G phone will soon arrive to challenge its rivals. It’s called the Elephone P3000.
Elephone has released many products in the last several years and many have had an interesting design. The thing that should attract most users about the P3000 is the main camera which seems to have a resolution of 13mp with an LED light and fingerprint scanner. This phone is very thin, measuring about 7.6mm, and is available in black and white.
This phone is mainly targeted at the foreign market. As a result, it supports FDD-LTE 3G, and is compatible with WCDMA and GSM internet. It also has a dual-SIM card slot. Its processors are MediaTek’s new MTK6582 quad-core processor and MT6290. It also sports a 5-inch 720P OGS display screen and has 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM. It also has a 5mp selfie camera and runs on a 3150ma battery.
Just like other phones we have introduced before, the Elephone P3000 will be first sold overseas at the end of the month.
On June 15, MediaTek will launch their strongest cell phone microchip yet, the MT6595. Before the launch event, insider analyst @潘九堂 caused a storm by announcing that a yet-to-be-released 64-bit SOC would hit stores before the Chinese New Year, and that its model number is MT6795!
Product line of MTK’s LTE chips
The MT6795 is at the top of the product line of MTK’s cell phone processors and has been predicted to have more powerful specs than the MT6595 and MT6752. It looks like this is true. The MT6795 can be considered a combination of both octa-core processors, integrating the 6752’s 64-bit octa-core design with the powerful multimedia specs of the 6595.
As previously stated, the MT6795 follows a 64-bit octa-core design. It has CPU main frequency that goes up to 2.2GHz. It will probably use the ARM Cortex-A53 like the MT6752, but the upgrades in main frequency should make it more powerful than the 6752. It also uses LTE Modem, supporting LTE Cat 4 (50Mbps upstream/150Mbps downstream), TD-LTE, FDD-LTE, HSPA + 42M/11M (WCDMA), TD-SCDMA, and GSM.
The MT6795 perfectly inherits the MT6595’s excellent multimedia functions. It supports display screens with 2K resolution, 20mp Ultra HD cameras, and video codecs like the H.265 4K*2K. It still has the IMG PowerVR G6 GPU.
Mass production of the MT6795 should start before the Chinese New Year at the latest.
It has already been reported that the Nubia Z7 flagship phone will be released tomorrow. Recently, the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) recently listed two of Nubia’s new phones, the NX505J which has a 5.5-inch screen and NX507J, which has a 5-inch screen. These could be the soon-to-be-released Nubia Z7 and Z7 mini.
MIIT certifies Nubia Z5 mini（NX507J）
As the information at the MIIT website shows, the NX507J sports a 5-inch 1080p screen and runs on a 2GHz quad-core processor. It has 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM (also supports microSD expandable memory). It also has a 5mp/8mp camera and its operating system is the Android 4.4.2.
Its measurements are 152.75 x 76 x 8.5mm and it weighs 168g. It also supports TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, and GSM.
MIIT certifies Nubia Z7（NX505J）
The NX505J sports a 5.5-inch 1080p TFT screen and uses a 2.3GHz Snapdragon quad-core processor. It has 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM which can be expanded by microSD. It also sports a 5mp/8mp dual camera and runs on the Android 4.4.2 OS.
The Nubia NX505J’s measurements are 152.7 x 76 x 8.5mm (which is almost exactly the same as the mini-version) and it weighs 168g.
In addition, the Nubia NX505J also supports TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, GSM internet.
It has also been rumoured that the Nubia Z7 will use a 2K screen and that its processor is the Snapdragon 805. Both the Nubia Z7 and Nubia Z7 mini are expected to come out on the 8th.
Coolpad can be a considered a pioneer in the 4G age having already released more than 10 4G devices and will release a new one soon. Unlike Coolpad’s other 4G phones, the new Coolpad 8017 will use an MTK 4G solution.
At the moment, Coolpad will only release a China Mobile edition of the 8017 and it will support TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, and GSM. The Coolpad 8017 sports a 4-inch display 800 x 480 WVGA resolution. Its processor is the MT6582M quad-core processor (1.2GHz) and it has a RAM of just 512Mb and 4GB internal memory storage. It sports a rear-facing camera with 2mp and runs on a 1650mAh battery.
Like other MTK 4G phones, the Coolpad 8017 runs on the Android 4.4.2 but it uses Coolpad’s own CoolLife UI. As the snapshot shows, there’s a small hole on the left side of the phone. It looks like the 8017 may use noise-cancelling technology.
Tomorrow, ZTE will formally launch their new phone, the Nubia Z7. Today, news spread that a photo of the Milky Way was taken using ZTE’s unreleased phone with many asking how the photographer did it and if he used and device to help him.
Nubia’s PR manager @狂奔蝸牛MT cleared up all the rumors by stating that this photo was taken by the Nubia Z7 with only the help of a star tracker. He also urged people to wait for its release to try it out. A star tracker is usually necessarily to overcome the problems caused by the Earth’s rotation to take a photo of the Milky Way.
On July 4, 2014, at the suggestion of Nubia Smartphones, Mr. Li Qiang, a member of the Shenzhen Photography Association for Entrepreneurs had a photo taken by Nubia, “Instanteneous Eternity”added to the Beijing Planetarium’s collection. This was the first photo of the Milky Way to be successfully taken by a cell phone.

On the afternoon of July 4, someone in Weibo posted a photo of a mysterious device with Xiaomi’s logo on it. Based on comparisons with another photo that was leaked a while back, there is a big possibility that this device is the upcoming Mi 4. From the photo, we can see that the edges of the phone are fuller than the Mi 3’s. At the same time, it shows a very narrow bezel case, which solves the biggest problem that most people have with the Mi 3.
This photo could have been leaked from the factory it was made in based on the photographer wearing a glove in the photo and the environment surrounding it. This adds more credibility to the fact that this may be Xiaomi’s new phone.
The Mi 4 is predicted to come out this month or the next. What do you think it will look like?
From comparing the phone in the photo with the Mi 3, the Mi 4 should use a 5.2-inch (approximately) display screen. For now, a screen with this small should only have a resolution of 1080p.
This phone will probably use be the Snapdragon 805, have 3GB RAM and a 13mp camera with F/18 aperture, and be 4G-supported. Do you think it will cost 1999 RMB? (321.80 USD)
