This issue has been talked for many times since OPPO’s ex vice-general manager left the company and set up Oneplus, and especially when Oneplus released in Beijing. And Pete Lau re-denied the statement of “One plus is wholly-owned sub-brand of OPPO“. In the media communication meeting, some journalists asked him “why is Oneplus looks so similar to OPPO Find 7?” Pete Lau just coped with “perhaps its because our aesthetics standard trends to be similar”, and said “all phone nowadays looks like iPhone”.
Early last year, ZTE released a very special product, the ZTE U960E, the first smart phone to support TD-SCDMA and CDMA. This device was initially sold in below-the-line retail stores, but recently appeared in ZTE’s official online store (myzte.com).
The U960E is a customized mobile phone and the TD-SCDMA is the most significant part of it. It is also compatible with CDMA1x and China Mobile 2G/Unicom 2G internet, and supports triple-mode multiband. Its use of a TD+CDMA/GSM double-SIM card makes the U960E a “unique kind” of customized mobile phone.
Another feature of this phone is that it uses the MediaTek MTK6517 dual-core processor (1.2G main frequency), which has not yet been integrated into the CDMA baseband. So, it still runs the VIA telecom baseband processor. The ZTE U960E is also the first T+C phone in the MTK platform.
The phone’s design is pretty similar to the N983’s, measuring 133x66x9.9mm. It has a blue case made of smooth fiber. It also has a 4.5 inch 720p resolution IPS screen, 1G RAM + 16G ROM, 1Mp front and 8Mp back cameras, 2070mA battery, and supports sensory features like an electric compass as well as memory card expansion. Its operating system is the Android 4.0.
ZTE’s phones that use the MTK chip are not bad, and each phone has their own remarkable features, so the U960E should not be cheaper than the Red Bull mobile phone and others. It’s quoted price in myzte.com is 1099 RMB ($175.74).
It has been nearly five months since the brand, OONE, made its debut in Chinese New Year. Nothing has been heard from them until now, when it announced on its official Weibo account that the OONE mobile phone is coming soon.
The company posted its first poster of the phone starting its advertising campaign. The company boasts that the OONE mobile phone is not just a cell phone but a “work of art!” It will have “high-end functions” and be made using “high-end materials” and an “exquisite design.” They sound really sure of themselves!
The photo faintly shows the OONE phone in one angle, and one can barely see three buttons on side, which should be the volume buttons and power switch. It has a flat middle frame with curvy sides. In addition, HDR was used for the mid-frame, probably meaning that that it could be made of strong non-plastic materials such as metal.
Earlier reports said that the OONE phone would be very slim and that it might run on a MT6595 octa-core chip with 2GHz main frequency as well as 2GB of ram. However, it’s almost been half a year, so nobody knows if this will still be the case. Nevertheless, this “work of art” is certainly worth waiting for.
Xiaomi as the one of popular smartpone manufacturer in China is now preapring their first tablet device. According to recent rumor, the upcoming Xiaomi tablet will has many similarities with Apple iPad mini.
While for now, most smartphone manufacturer is not only offers the high-specification smartphone but also offers the larger screen with more than 6 inch screen. Samsung is now preparing the 7-inch smartphone to market.
While we are know, that the Google Nexus device is the high-end device that officially comes from Google, but according to rumor, the upcoming Google devices will be available in standard specs and offers with very affordable price.
While for now, we have a Sony that offers the lens as an accessories for your phone, Sony is not alone anymore since OPPO is also offers the same accessories.
NEO official shop start selling on April 25th, they provide a 50% off discount on the first 500 units M1 phone. The official site’s host was down because of too many buyers, and the promotion is delayed 2 hours later. As NEO official claim, the first 500 units phone were sold out in 3 minutes.
It has been previously been reported that Meizu CEO, Huang Zhang, said that they will release 5 new products this year to compete with Xiaomi. Other than the MX4, no information has been released about the four other products. But according to reports, this will be the first time that Meizu will collaborate with MTK, and will release a new device that uses an MTK processor.
Sources reveal the model number of the MTK chip as MT6595, the first octa-core 4G LTE chip in the world, and that this chip has adopted the Quadcore A17+Quadcore A17 scheme. It also supports FDD/TDD LTE internet connection, as well as DC-HSPA+, TD-SCDMA, and EDGE.
Does Meizu’s collaboration with MTK mean a new price range for their future products? Does this mean that their older products will be placed in more product lines, and that their prices will change? This could probably be the only way they can compete with Xiaomi.
It has been reported that the MX4 will be released in August before the Xiaomi 4, and that it will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. It will support 3GB RAM, have a 16mp camera, and run on the Flyme 4.0 system (This is definitely certain).
Will the selling price for the MX4 be 1999 RMB (about $320)? There lies the biggest mystery.
Based on the published data of quarterly earnings last Thursday, Qualcomm, a US-based global semiconductor company that manufactures wireless telecommunications products, recorded its lowest increase in terms of the revenues for the past three consecutive years, which in total is $6.37 billion, merely a 4 percent growth compared to last year’s similar period.
And relying on the fact that it is facing a much harder competition this year, especially in China, including the shifting demands of handset manufacturers to MediaTek, a Taiwan-based worldwide semiconductor supplier, for a more affordable solution to be mounted on their low-cost devices, Qualcomm is not being able to preserve its previously known quarterly growth of 20 percent. Not to mention that recently MediaTek has just also launched their latest product, an eight-core SoC, the MT6592, which is intended to be used widely, the MT6595 as the world’s first eight-core LTE SoC and soon, the MT6752, a 64-bit SoC that consists of eight ARM v8 Cortex A53 cores.
Deviating from its “better cores, not more cores” tradition and due to countering the increased influence of MediaTek as the vendor’s main competitor, Qualcomm has also started offering their own eight-core SoCs by the launching of the Snapdragon 615 as its first eight-core LTE-enabled solution, and followed soon with other new generations that will no longer be utilizing last year’s Krain line of CPUs, but the ARM’s stock Cortex A53 and A57 cores which puts Qualcomm on the same level of playing field with MediaTek.
Within this year, while the high-end smartphone segment growth is slowing down, most mobile devices manufacturers are focusing on the mid-tier segment to increase their revenues. This would result to a lot of changes and would be a very interesting year to witness especially in the mobile devices market. Other vendors such as Nvidia, Samsung, LG, HiSlicon Huawei as well as Broadcom are also planning to launch their own 64-bit hardware and getting ready to compete with each other.
The question at hand was will Google be working towards an affordable Nexus device-the one that would replace the chip manufactured by Qualcomm to the one made by MediaTek. The answer is here-The chip is with the capability of sporting a 64-bit architecture with 4 or 8 cores.
After having disclosed the 64 bit product a few months ago, they appear to be ready for prime time. As stated in Taiwan’s Economic Daily, the makers of the chip are ecstatic with the deal and are positive that this could be their key to reach out to new vendors who would be instrumental in launching the devise in the Western World. In the interim, it is truly remarkable to have a chip housed inside a Nexus device.
Currently there aren’ t many handset manufacturers that are betting on MediaTek-made gear-which includes the likes of Sony and HTC. If used at all, it is only their low cost machines in the world’s emerging markets that use these products.
MediaTek may find its way into the West in a colossal way.
The forthcoming nexus phone is reported to be prices at 100 USD. The question however remains is that with it being at this price point ,will it be only the rapidly growing economies that will be its market or will it have a global availability. The test of time shall reveal if this low cost nexus will aid Google in developing its reach among the price conscious consumers or not.
Although the news that the Vivo Xshot got 40,000 points in the benchmark test has not been verified, Shenzhen Oudu Lifang announced on their official Weibo account that they might release a mysterious “device” that got more than 40,000 points in its benchmark test and that it will run on an octa-core processing chip.
Indeed, Oudu Lifang has been getting ready to put new octa-core product on the market, which some saying could be the Cube TALK69, which will also be the first product to be powered by the octa-core MTK6592 with a main frequency of 2GHz. Everyone knows that the basic framework of the MT8392 is similar to the MT6592. The idol X+ got about 33,000 points, so if the TALK69 is this “mysterious device,” then it is very doubtful that it got more than 40,000 points.
If it is, then the TALK69 should have 2GB of RAM, a 7 inch IPS screen with a 1920×1200 resolution, and many other features.
Tablet companies releasing octa-core products has become an interesting phenomenon in the last several years. Most of these have copied mobile phones by running on a 1.7GHz main frequency and a MTK6592 octa-core chip.
[Global Tech News reports] According to an April 23 report in Taiwan’s Digitimes, reports from Chinese supply chains show that as the demand for tablet and computer knock-offs goes down and competition becomes more aggressive, this year, Chinese manufacturers of these knock-offs will drop prices to survive.

Sources say that because of fierce price wars, profit has been going down, causing the quality of knock-offs being made to suffer.
Apple plans to release new 9.7 inch and 7.9 inch iPad tablets late this year. At the same time, they plan to cut the market price of the iPad Air and iPad mini. This would start another price war with their competitors.
According to 2014 estimations, the factory price of 7 inch tablet knock-offs has dropped to somewhere between $30-$40 (about 187RMB-250RMB). As their size grows by an inch, the factory price increases by $10 (around 62RMB). Therefore, the factory price of a 10 inch tablet knock-off is estimates to be somewhere between $70 (about 437RMB) and $80 (about 499RMB)
A goal of distributing 80 million Smartphones globally has been set by the China based vendon, Huawei, for the year 2014. This would mean that the company would grow by 53.8% on year. The company has announced that they have sold approximately 8 million units of the Honor 3C, their flagship Smartphone, at the end of the year 2013 and expect this number to reach 20 million is the subsequent year.
Huawei Device are also working massively on their brand image and have created a budget of USD 300 million for the global markets in 2014. Around 40% of this will be used in just the Chinese market.
A summary of their sales in 2013: They distributed 62.5% on year, which is about 52 million Smartphones, 44.5 million mobile broadband Internet-access devices, down 11%, 24.4 million fixed-line Internet-access terminal devices, down 2.4%, 44.5 million, and had 80 million subscribers of its cloud services

The Coobee Max2 initially entered the market with the cost of 2199 RMB ($351.68) but now costs about 1300 RMB (about $208)
The MAX2/X9 is pretty slim, measuring only 6.95mm and is sold in gold and silver. One of its selling points is HIFI, using a combination of double-speaker, double Yamaha amplifier, and independent audio chips which should improve the sound performance for stereos and earphones. Another selling point is that it’s supported by a 3rd generation Corning gorilla glass, more scratch-proof, and has a 5.5 inch 720p resolution screen.
The Coobee Max2 also has a 5mp (88 degree wide angle) front camera and Sony’s IMX135 stacked 13mp back camera, 2650mA battery (irreplaceable), supports the TD-SDMA/GSM double-SIM card, and even has a gyroscope, compass, and OTG function.
Koobee Mobile’s recent products are unlike any other, and the MAX2, with its HIFI sound system, high-definition camera, and fashionable design is one of the phones that have capture the attention of music fans in recent years.
According to news recently released by taiwanese media, MediaTek eight-core chipset sales in the first quarter is better than expected. The sales have occupied more than 20% of the company’s smartphone chip revenue.
