Newman has been in the market for the past few years, however lately we haven’t heard anything new from the company. In fact, the company’s last post on its official Weibo page dates back to July 2014.

Earlier today, surprisingly, Newman forwarded a post from YunOS’s weibo page. The post was about a new concept YunOS device. The image had a unique rear button just below the camera, however the post failed to explain the use of the button.

A few hours later, Newman posted a image on its Weibo page which finally revealed a new device from the company. It seems that the concept machine revealed by YunOS was in fact the new Newman Button phone which will run on YunOS.

This is not the first time we are seeing at a YunOS powered Newman device. Last year, we had seen many manufacturers adopt YunOS for their phones, including Newman. So, this particular announcement doesn’t come as a big surprise.

We still don’t know what the mysterious button below the camera does, but it could be something related to the camera feature. Or it may even be used to control sound or even for fingerprint recognition. Unfortunately, we can only speculate the features on the Newman button phone right now. But expect more information when Newman announces more details about the phone on April 8.

Design is one of the most important aspects of a product and to find out the best in the industry, you have the prestigious German iF Design award. This is one of the highest ranking awards that you can get in the industry and naturally those who are selected in the final round are some of the best designed products in the market.

For over 60 years, The iF DESIGN AWARD has been recognized the world over as a label of design excellence. And among the list of finalist this year, there was an interesting smartphone powered by Ali Yun OS.

The Ali YunOS concept machine sported a very unique look with a sleek design. The highlight of the device was its navigation wheel at one side along with a silver breathing light which gives the phone a very cool look. Specs wise, the phone was expected to feature a 5-inch Full HD display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with fingerprint recognition.

Unfortunately, this is just a concept machine and its highly unlikely that the phone will ever see the light of the day. Still, its good to see that this YunOS concept phone made it to the final round of such a prestigious award. Over 53 countries had entered the competition in a number of different categories. An expert panel of 53 jury were present to decide the winners of the iF Design Award 2015.

So what do you think about the phone. Does it look good?

YunOS  announced its first partner in its official Weibo today, Philiips’s first flagship Aurora would be the first model to feature YounOS 3.0 rather than the most controvercial brand Meizu.

Meizu MX4 sports MTK 6595, YunOS also has a good partnership with MTK, that is why the public predicted that YunOS would tend to cooperate with Meizu. Philiips would attend the launch event of YounOS 3.0 on October 20th. But as its first flagship, it seems that they don’t have any moves to cooperate with each other at this time.
