Last year, HONphone Changhong Mobile reclassified its flagship products. Its Dongliwang series is still its most famous line-up. All the phones in this series have one thing in common. Their batteries are more powerful than those of most smart phones. The biggest example of this is the Changhong Z9.
Not long ago, Changhong included a new phone in its line-up, the Changhong S3, which is an upgraded version of the V5T. It was first released in Changhong’s official stores for 899 RMB (143.65 USD). Right now, the lowest price it can be bought for online is only 799 RMB (127.67 USD). Its battery capacity is almost twice as much as that of the V5T.
The S3 is round and its measurements are 144.3 x 72 x 10.5mm. It runs on a 4000mA battery.
The upgrades from the V5T are pretty clear. The S3 uses the MT6582 quad-core processor with a main frequency of 1.3GHz, has 1GB of RAM, 4GB ROM, qHD screen, and a 5Mp camera. It also supports the TD+GSM dual-SIM.
Samsung announced news conference, pushing out new-generation camera phone , the Galaxy K Zoom, which had been largely improved regarding both specs and appearance.
In recent years, many tablet manufacturers have decided to sell tablets with eight-core processors. These tablets use chips developed by MTK. CHUWI’s new product, the VX3 will use the MT6592 octa-core chip becoming one of the first tablets to use this chip.
The CHUWI VX3 will first be sold at JD.com for about 999 RMB （$159.74）from May 5 to 12.
The VX3 uses the octa-core MT6592 processor with a main frequency of 2GHz. It is the only 1000 RMB tablet that runs on it right now and uses a built-in 2GB DDR3 ram and 16GB memory space (expandable). It also has a 2Mp x 8Mp dual-camera (Samsung sensor/f/2.4 aperture/LED), and runs on a 3000mA battery.
The CHUWI VX3 runs on the Android 4.4 operating system and is customized. It can also support the WCDMA/GSM dual-SIM card and HDMI function as well as sensory functions commonly found in smart phones. Its measurements are 191 x 106 x 7.9mm.
A brand new exciting product Lenovo S860 was launched in the world of mobiles in Barcelona. It has an amazing 5.3” IPS display of 720p resolution, a quad-core 1.3 GHz MediaTek processor, which runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The main feature of this Smartphone S860 is extra-long battery life which is a 4000 mAh and is capable of reverse charging the other devices. It is expected to have an exceptionally good standby of either 28 or 40 days on both 2G and 3G connectivity with an 8MP main camera and a 1.6MP front- facing camera.
It supports the feature of dual sim but has no LTE in tow. The device is available in titanium gray with a curved back. The sides have matt finish and feature the volume and power buttons on it. They have a great press feedback. This is at a cost of $355. The company will sell the S860 on its website TheDotStore in India.
With this price the specs package of Lenovo S860 is very good. The only disappointment is lack of android Kitkat at the launch. We hope that Lenovo will surely make efforts to update its device as soon as possible. With this price one can buy fairly popular products like Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 or XOLO Q3000.
Over the last two days, the Chinese media has been roaring over the prices of local phones. Many are worried about homogenization in the market and that the price wars are killing the industry. Despite the warnings of experts, it is still business as usual for Chinese cell phone companies.
Xiaomi’s big surprise: Drops price of the Mi 3
On April 28 at 10:00 AM, Xiaomi surprised everyone with the news that they would cut the price its flagship phone, the 16GB Mi 3, by 300 RMB, and that it would be sold with no reservation necessary. Xiaomi also lowered the prices of the Mi 3 in its official Hong Kong (2099 HKD), Taiwan (8199 TWD), and Singapore (339 SGD) websites. All are basically equivalent to 1699 RMB (271.66 USD).
The Chief Brand Officer at Nubia, @有梦想有可能 (Where there’s a will, there’s a way), said in response to the recent price cuts that the only reason its competitors are cutting the prices of their products is because of poor sales, and that his company will not do it.
Are companies increasing prices to gain momentum?
There is also some news that some companies said that they might increase prices for their new products, although many say it’s mostly for advertising purposes. On April 28, the CEO of Smartisan Co., Luo Yonghao, said that due to “skyrocketing production costs,” they are considering increasing the price of their new phone which many already said was too expensive.
In the recent released of octa-core mobile phone, Hasee was quite a unique one. It used 1.7 GHz octa-core processor and 1080 pixels screen display instead of the 1.4 GHz octa-core processor and 720 pixels screen display package normally found in the market. Of course, the price was also worth of its “Price Butcher” title.
This newest octa-core mobile phone from Hasee is the model X50TS. Some of the specs included 5” screen display with1080p resolution, MT6592’s octa-core 1.7GHz processor, 2000mAh capacity battery and built-in 2GB RAM and 16G ROM. The phone also possessed a 5.0 MP front camera and a 14.0 MP rear camera.
Hasee X50TS was priced at 999 yuan ($160). In comparison, it is slightly stronger than the other 999 yuan ($160) octa-core mobile phones on the market. However, the 2000mAh battery is a bit too small, especially with a 1080p resolution display screen. In addition, the MT6592 processor was performaning at its ideal with the 1080p resolution; rather the processor functions better when it partnered with the 720p resolution screen.
Hasee X50TS will be available on Hasee’s official website and Jingdong mall starting from today.

Before now, HTC One M8 Ace plastic version is rumored to be available in the market, and now the rumor is spread again with blurry images that showing by @evleaks.
Last year, AUX Mobile began to strengthen its presence online. Not long ago, its big-screen quad-core cell phone, the T8300, and the I7 AIR appeared in its flagship stores, the latter costing as much as 1699 RMB ($271.71).
As May Day approaches, AUX will begin cutting the price of the AUX I7 to promote sales. Its price in flagship stores is now 1499 RMB ($239.72). They have also cut its price in JD.com by 600 RMB ($95.95), now costing only 1099 RMB ($175.76).

Some may get confused that according to the official flagship store’s data, the I7 AIR uses a quad-core processor with a main frequency of 1.7GHz, but it isn’t clear whether there has been an upgrade on the MT6582 which has a main frequency of 1.3GHz. Anyone who’s interested can ask JD about this.
On April 27, Meitu has released a new mobile phone that’s dedicated for selfie in Beijing. With the release of the new mobile phone, there were also a 10-second video shooting app, and a new operating system MEIOS which was customized based on the Androoid 4.2.2 operating system. Meitu mobile 2’s greatest attraction is its 13 mp front lenses equipped with a fill light, which can be turned on automatically during night time for selfie taking. The rear lenses is also 13 mp and equipped with two flash lights. Other specs of were included a 1.7 GHz octa-core processor, 4.7”HD screen and 2GB RAM.

There are two versions of this phone, the 16G is priced at 2199 yuan ($352) and the 32G is priced at 2399 yuan ($384).
The phone utilized a “double V” shape for its design. Although this design added in uniqueness to the appearance, it also enlarged the top and button part of the phone. The matted material used on the back of the phone provided a good feeling of touch. However, the back of the phone and the entire frame is not integrated which provided a plastic look in the appearance. The icons and widgets were elongated. Although the phone used the Android system, MEIOS operating experience tend to be like iOS as other UI in the market. Meitu Mobile 2 was totally designed for the younger group. However, the success of the change from Meitu Mobile 2 really depends on the younger generation.
Meitu Mobile 2 is completely designed for selfie taking. The system also added in new photo editing features such as removing dark circles, and 3D modifying face features.
The new version will be available on Meitu’s official webiste, Tmall flagship stores, and Suning online and offline stores. At the same time, China Unicom mobile had launched a prepaid purchase plan for Meitu Mobile 2, the minimum deposit amount is 2399 yuan ($384).
Nowadays, there are so many domestic mobile phones on the market. Any IT related company can launch its own mobile phone. Therefore it was not surprise that Meitu from a pure software development company had slowly shifted its market target to hardware development. Meitu Mobile had a very clear target market. Base on the upgrade of the new launched mobile phone, Meitu was intended differentiate itself from other competitors through selfie taking phone.
Not long after it received FCC approval, the OPPO R1001 was quietly released in Indonesia for Rp7000 (about 700 RMB or $111.95) and is considered to be OPPO’s cheapest smart phone to date.
As a phone targeted towards the low-end market, there is not much to say about the OPPO Joy’s appearance. Its design is more common among OPPO’s entry-level products. Its measurements are 124 x 63 x 9.9mm and it is available in black and white.
It uses MTK’s MT6572/M dual-core processor with a main frequency of 1.2GHz, has 512Mb RAM and 4Gb ROM. It also has a 300,000 pixel front camera and 3mP rear camera, a 4 inch WVGA resolution screen, and a 1700mA battery.

The TCL Momoda’s (low) China Mobile and Unicom editions will soon enter the market. The high version is also expected to follow suit soon. The China Mobile version (high) is designated the TCL S725T. If the Unicom version is similarly named the same way, it would be called the S725.
Not surprisingly, the TCL S725T will use the MT6592 octa-core processor with a 1.7GHz main frequency, 2GB RAM, and up to 16G of memory space. It will also have a 5Mp front camera and 13Mp rear camera.

The mystery behind Amoi’s new phone has been revealed. The phone is called the Amoi A955T. The new model No. is AMOI A955T. Its use of a greater model number indicates that the new phone should be an important product for AMOI.
Online sources said that the A955T would use a 1.7GHz quad-core CPU processor. Some speculated that it would use MTK’s newest MT6588 quad-core processor. But as it turns out, from the little information given by Amoi themselves, the A955T will use a 6-core processor.
Described as “the world’s first six-core computer chip,” it should be no surprise that the CPU chip number will be MTK MT6591, although its specifications will be a bit different.The Amoi A955T’s six-core processor will use a main frequency of up to 1.7GHz (it was previously said to be 1.5GHz). In March, ZOPO said that the ZOPO Black 3 would also use a 6-core processor, so this have been upgraded from the 6591.
The A955T’s design is eye-catching. It has a 5.5” screen with 1080p resolution The full phone size is 149.2 x 74.2 x 8mm only. Unless the calculations are wrong, the Amoi A955T will be the smallest cell phone with a 5.5” display screen ever. It has 2GB RAM, a 2500mA battery and 8Mp camera.
Furthermore, no cell phone manufacturer would claim that they would produce a cell phone with a 6-core processor. AMOI A955T will probably be the first one with MT6591 in the Chinese market.
On the evening of April 27, the MeituKiss 2 was officially launched.
Although it’s a next-gen phone, the MeituKiss 2 is no more expensive than the MeituKiss 1, costing at least 2199 RMB ($351.95).
The MeituKiss 2 has 13Mp front camera and 13Mp back camera (5P lens/F2.0 aperture) and runs on a Milbeaut processor.
The MeituKiss 2 supports 7 beautifying effects, has an improved preview function, and can not only take beauty photos in real time, but can also take beauty videos as well. You can even edit videos now and share it with friends.
The phone uses an MT6592 octa-core processor and has a 4.7 inch 720p resolution LG screen, 2G ram, and 2300mA battery. It also supports a China Unicom 3G internet connection and a WIFI-Display function. It is available in white and red.
Its operating system is Meitu’s own MEIOS, modeled after the Android 4.2. The MEIOS provides the MeituKiss 2 with a beautiful interface, integrates all of the phones functions, and also provides better security.
The 16G version will be sold for 2199 RMB ($351.98) while the 32G version will be sold for 2399 RMB ($383.99). Another version done in collaboration with Jimmy Lin Chih Ying will be sold for 2999 RMB ($480.03). 800,000 reservations have already been made and those who reserved can buy the MeituKiss 2 on April 28 at noon.
The main hardware features of smart phones are becoming increasingly similar, and the performance of phones costing approximately 1000 RMB is enough for everyday use. So, consumers are becoming more and more interested in things such as the phone’s design, endurance, and operating system. It all goes back to the final experience of the product.
Recently, Amoi prepared its newest product, the Amoi A955T, and compared to the company’s other products, the A955T’s design stands out more. The other day, the company said that it will be its first six-core smart phone to hit the market and gave us a first glimpse on it.
This is the first rendering of the A955T which looks much better than the photo posted by the Ministry of Information and Technology.
As you can see from the photos, the frame around the screen is very narrow and the screen, itself, is held tight. Its measurements (149.2 x 74.2 x 8mm) which were leaked earlier proves that that the Amoi A955T has a high-screen ratio, even though it has a 5.5 inch 1080p screen and its performance surpasses that of the A900T.
As stated before, this is the first cell phone to run on a six-core processing chip called the MTK6591. Amoi has not released any other information on the phone’s specifications. It may also store 2GB ram and a customized operating system.
Official reports say that the A955T is still undergoing price/performance ratio analysis.
On April 23, as companies from around the country held conferences showcasing their new products to compete with the Onplus One, Meizu officially announced that they would cut the price of the MX3 by ¥200 ($32.01), with the 16G, 32G, and 64G editions, now costing ¥1799 ($287.94), ¥1999 ($310.95), and ¥2399 ($383.97) respectively. It is seen as the beginning of Meizu’s price cuts of its ¥1999 domestic products. However, yesterday, Xiaomi announced that something big was going to happen soon which many assume to be a price reduction of the MI-3.
News of the MI-3’s price cut has now been confirmed because we just found out in Xiaomi’s official online store that the 16G edition would now be sold for ¥1699 ($271.94). Although we have not seen the 64G version, its price should also go down by ¥300 ($48.02) and cost ¥2199 ($351.96).
As of now, it is not clear whether Xiaomi will continue to sell the MI-3 in stores or bring back its policy of letting customers who made a prior reservation buy the phones online at a certain date. It is most likely going to be the former. Furthermore, this price reduction means that the MI-3’s successor, the 3S, is coming soon. Who’s looking forward to this?
Is selling MI-3 being sold for ¥1699 ($271.94) in contrast with the ¥1799 ($287.94) MX3 enough to make Meizu cry or will Meizu just further reduce its prices?

After the release of E83 on Ali’s platform at the price of 400 yuan ($56), Inkit’s mobile phones were more familiar to online users. Recently Intki followed the octa-core trend, and has released an internal model called E80 to the market.
After numerous 5-inch screen smart phones on the market, the 4.7-inch screen of E80 should seem very “unique” in the octa-core product universe. At the same time, it did not sacrifice resolution. E80 could be deemed as “luxury” due to its full level of 1920 * 1080 FHD HD resolutions and a PPI of nearly 470. In addition, according to the official information, Intki’s E80 also used Sharp’s display screen.
Aside from the rare screen size, E80 utilized the mainstream adoption of MT6592’s octa-core processor that is capable of speeds up to 1.7GHz for excellent performance. It also contains 1G RAM and 8 G ROM memory. E80 has a dual camera with 5 mp front lenses and a 13 mp rear lenses. It is operating on Android 4.2 and and supports for TD-SCDMA + GSM dual SIM. E80 only comes in black and white at the moment, but a follow- up of up to 6 colors will be launched. The style of this phone will be quite similar to Dakele. The specific measurements for size are unclear right now. But according to the size of the 1800 mA battery, it is speculated that the thickness of the model would perhaps be quite thin.
The model is currently available on Tmall at 999 yuan ($160).
