July 1st sees the release of Xiaomi’s Mipad, which is the company’s attempt to break into the tablet industry. It is powered by an NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor and has a display of 2048 x 1536. As regards the OS, it is running a custom app known as MIUI on top of Android. It is rumoured that the Mipad is to be one of the first to contain the NVIDIA quad-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor, boasting 192-core graphics. Other than this impressive addition, there is 2GB RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front-facing shooter, 802.11ac WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, stereo speakers and a 6700mAh battery.
So is this a good effort? Well when you consider that the price is only $240, the Mipad is excellent value for a reasonably well-equipped piece of kit so should prove popular even in such a competitive market. It is as yet uncertain if the Mipad is set for release outside of China however

Google has presented a preview of the next generation Android software at its I/O developer conference. It has been described by Google’s Engineering Director Dave Burke as “the biggest release in the history of Android”. The interface has been given a new look, with the result being something Google are referring to as Material Design. The interface has been designed to give the impression of depth as well as colour and has been designed to work across all devices, not just Chrome and Android, giving users a smooth transition between products and a complete experience.
The use of “nest scrolling”, which sees items shrink and disappear, and the use of light and shadows are what helps to create the impression of depth and the digital material is said to expand and reform according to your instincts about how to move items and what items can be moved. There are a lot of new features to look forward to also:
Notifications will now be accessible from the lockscreen, and the notifications themselves will be organised according to what the user is most likely to want to see.
The authentication process is now more intelligent; the software will first attempt to find out if you’re in a known environment or if you are holding it from nearby devices or the smartwatch on your wrist. If your device isn’t persuaded by your surroundings, it will ask you for a PIN.
The keyboard UI interface has been overhauled and a “do not disturb” feature has been added.
The performance is being enhanced also, by the Android Extension Pack providing better graphics and there are new battery saving measures, which provide extensive statistics about battery use and a power-saving mode.
It all sounds very exciting, let’s hope the practice can meet the expectations.

This week’s blogging news sees Xiaomi’s massive price cuts defended, JD.com promoting themselves on a motor scooter and the bitter rivalry between the major players Tencent and Alibaba/UCWeb being played out in various short articles.
Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun was in defence mode on his microblog this week; trying to persuade people that the huge price cut was not a last ditch attempt at meeting its own sales expectations. Xiaomi has cut the price of its third generation model by 25%, and this is rumoured to be because of the need to clear excess inventory and give the firm a chance of meeting their target of selling 60 million smartphones in 2014. Lei’s blog responses were apparently amused by the insinuations but there was no direct denial to any of the claims except to say that Xiaomi is aggressively expanding capacity to meet demand. Although with the huge competition from the many new high quality and cheap smartphones, it seems plausible that Xiaomi are beginning to feel the strain and possibly take steps to compete more effectively.
JD.com spent the week waxing lyrical about its annual promotional event which took place on June 18th; featuring some memorable photographs of JD’s founder Richard Liu delivering products around Beijing on a motor scooter. The first event of this kind took place in 2010 and this year JD reported its order intakes had doubled from last year’s figures. Liu’s personal blog was strangely silent regarding the promotion, but other JD executives were sufficiently indulgent about it on their microblogs. Vice President Xu Lei, apart from hyping JD’s own promotional event, pointed out the other companies who used June 18th as a day for promotion. Suning and Alibaba representatives were tweeting about their own events so it seems June 18th is becoming a major sales event for all.
Also, there has been much cynicism regarding the role of Tencent in bringing about a record fine for piracy for rival company Alibaba in relation to the recently acquired UCWeb web browser. It has been reported that Tencent was a major force pushing for the fine of 260 million yuan. He has been roundly criticised by executives of both Alibaba and UCWeb, which seems a little odd given that piracy is something that harms all of the big players and all stand to benefit from harsh sanctions in the end.
Considering the powerful handheld devices available these days, it is strange that it has taken so long for the streaming capabilities of the average homeowner to catch up. It might have just happened, however, Xiaomi’s 4K Mi TV2 is now available and it contains a groundbreaking component. Broadcom’s 5G Wifi chip is actually capable of providing the speed, bandwidth and range to achieve seamless connectivity with other devices, online mobile gaming and HD-quality streaming.
This kind of technological breakthrough could herald a huge increase in demand for smart TVs, with Gartner2 reporting that 85% of all LCD TVs will be Smart TVs by 2018, and it is the synchronisation of devices that is demanded the most from new technology, so the 5G capability is bound to be a popular advancement. The TV also offers superior gaming features and access to thousands of free HD movies and on-demand services.
The two companies certainly seem to have struck gold insofar as combining their products goes, being able to produce a Smart TV capable of so much so quickly was a masterstroke of Xiaomi’s, and Broadcom’s hardware will add capability to Xiaomi’s affordable excellence in design we have all come to expect. It is something of a match made in heaven if the spokespeople are to be believed, with Broadcom Senior Director Alex Chou effusing “By combining our cutting edge technology with their own design expertise,Xiaomihas raised the bar for smart TV performance and delivered a remarkable new home entertainment experience to the China consumers.”It certainly is cutting edge technology, with the 5G performing up to 3 times faster and with six times more power than the earlier 802.11 version, it provides 8 times the capacity and broader coverage with improved reliability. This gigantic stride forward, when coupled with Xiaomi’s design and value is certainly a product worth investing in.
Oppo are making quite a name for themselves, they have very competitive products in all ends of the market from budget to top-end and are establishing themselves as quite a powerhouse. This Oppo Find 5 mini is a mid-spec phone for the mainstream sector and it contains many of the build and design qualities that make Oppo devices so appealing, compensating for the lower specifications of hardware. We spent the day with the Oppo Find 5 Mini and this is how it went.
The phone looks very impressive, the packaging is plain but the phone itself is striking: small and light without feeling flimsy. The buttons are well-designed and the phone is easy to grip. The 4.7 inch screen means the phone fits comfortably in hand. The qHD display is not perfect but coupled with the IPS it is a pretty good effort, and the display is good overall, with no visible pixellation and striking colours.
The hardware is a bit of a disappointment, most notably the MediaTek MT6582 quad-core chipset and 1GB of RAM means the phone lacks power compared to other smartphones of its market. That said, it is able to run the Colour OS, with the only noticeable drop in speed occuring when switching between power-heavy apps and games.
The camera possesses some nice features, the rear is 8MP and has auto-focus, HDR and Panorama shooting modes. The photograph below was taken with the Find 5 Mini and it is of perfectly acceptable quality for the price.
The Find 5 Mini is on the market at a reasonable Rs 19,990 competing with the likes of the Sony Experia M2 Dual, it remains to be seen which of these is the best bet for your money, we haven’t seen enough of the Find 5 Mini yet to be sure.

There’s a new opponent for the manufacturers of high-end but affordable smartphones; move over Xiaomi, Meizu has arrived, with the promise of great things. The MX4 is due for release later this year and is to be a flagship device capable of direct competition with Xiaomi’s range in specifications and value for money. It is to be priced at a highly competitive 1999 Yuan ($321 US dollars). The purpose of the exercise, apparently, is for Meizu to prove to the world that it can do what Xiaomi do, and gain credibility. So what is this MX4 and can it really compete with the masters of this market?
The MX4 has some exemplary specifications, most notably with regard to the display. The 5.5 inch screen has an awe-inspiring 2560 x 1536 resolution. A pixel per inch ratio of 543 and that could easily make a media fan actually faint with joy. Other specs include 3GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 805 chipset and the photo capabilities are good; there’s a 16 megapixel rear and a 5 megapixel front-facing camera.
It was previously reported that the MX4 would exist in two forms, with the above version the high-end option: so don’t get overly excited about the price quite yet. There will be a lower specification model too, and that one we assume will have the $321 price tag and a more modest display capability of 5 inch 1080p. This means the MX4 is going to be in the same ball park price-wise as the OnePlus One. The Meizu MX4 is also reported to have LTE connectivity, it will be equipped with the newest version of Meizu’s overlay Flyme ROM, version 4.0.
Meizu are expanding into the US market with the MX3 available there at the moment through their website store. Hopefully the MX4 will be available there too soon. The progression of Meizu continues to excite, as they are rumoured to be working on another low-cost mid spec phone – one reportedly powered by a Mediatek MT6595, but we’ll have to wait for further information about that.
Recently, Uoogou released its new quad-core phone, the Uoogou X3. It has been listed many online stores as costing only 399 RMB which is surprising consithe phone’s features are pretty good considering its low cost.
According to reports, the Uoogou X3 uses the 1.5GHZ MT6589 quad-core chipset. Considering the frequency, this phone must be using the MTK6589 Turbo Edition. In addition to the 1GB RAM, it also has 8GB of internal memory storage. It also sports a 4.7-inch IPS display screen with qHD resolution and has a 2mP/8mP dual-camera. Its operating system is the Android 4.2 and it supports TD-SCDMA+GSM dual-SIM.
This phone is available in red, white, champagne gold, and black. It is 7.55mm thick. Despite its slender frame, this phone is powered by a 2800mha battery!
Pre-orders can be made at JD and will be sold on the 30th.
Gionee will replace the MT6592 with the Snapdragon 400 (MSM8928 quad-core/A7 1.6G) as the processor for the ELIFE S5.5L. One of the main reasons could be because Gionee will have to wait until July for MediaTek to ship them the needed processors.
Other adjustments were made for this new 4G edition. The camera does not stick out anymore, but as a result, the S5.5L’s thickness increased from 5.55mm to 5.75mm! In addition, its battery power has increased to 2450mAh!
It also supports TD-LTE/WCDMA/TD-SCDMA and GSM internet but can still support 3G dual-mode. Other specs have not changed. The S5.5L still sports a 5-inch 1080p Samsung SA screen, 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM, a 5mp 95 degree wide angle front-facing camera, and 13mp Sony rear camera. It also comes with the Amigo 2.0.
Reliable sources say that the ELIFE S5.5L will hit stores in July and is not expected to be more expensive than the original octa-core version.

Due to many reasons, The Hedy H770/Q7, which was first released last September, has become Hedy’s last cellphone “masterpiece.” According to someone from Hedy, the company will no longer get involved in the cell phone industry.
