A power-saving switch is located on the side. In addition, it is powered by a 4400mAh battery and can be charged with a 9V+1.5A charger. You can make 2-hour calls just by charging it for 6.5 minutes.

This 3G phone is compatible with WCDMA/GSM networks and also supports dual-SIM. Its processor is the 1.3Ghz MTK6582 quad-core chipset. It only has 512M RAM and 4G ROM. It also sports a 5-inch FWVGA display screen and a 2mp camera. Its OS is the Android 4.42. It is worth checking out the Lenovo A399 for its round appearance. The sides and back all have a big radius.

Google and Mediatek have started working together to release the Android One platform, providing powerful but affordable Android smartphones to consumers from emerging nations. Both companies will also help cellphone manufacturers simplify production by quickly implementing their global super mid-market plan.

MTK’s General Manager for Corporate Marketting, Mohit Bhushan, said, “MTK has always strived to produce high-quality smart devices and sell them at affordable prices.

This reflects MTK’s goal to bring our technology to every corner of the globe and allow consumers to make use of them, unleash their potential, and create endless possibilities (Everyday Genius).

Lenovo’s 4G cellphone, the A606, can finally be bought online as a bare version of the phone has already been listed in online store, JD, for 799 RMB.

The Lenovo A606 is said to be a “dual-4G” phone, meaning that it is compatible with China Mobile and China Unicom 4G internet. Actually, this phone only supports TD-LTE and FDD-LTE internet as well as WCDMA and GSM. It also has a single SIM card slot. As for voice technology, it uses the CSFB solution. Its processor is the MTK6582 quad-core chipset (1.3GHz).

This phone’s core specs are not as great as the 499 RMB (81.34 USD) A360T. Besides its internet compatibilities, its screen is also pretty good. It sports a 5-inch IPS screen with FWVGA resolution (854 x 480). It also has 512M RAM and 4G ROM as well as a .3mp/5mp dual-camera. It is powered by a 2000 mAh battery and does not have a noise-cancelling microphone. Its OS is the Android 4.42.

ONN, which has not released a new cellphone in China for a long time, has revealed a new cellphone called the ONN V9 Only and it looks completely different from the V9.

The ONN V9 Only sports a 5.5-inch qHD display screen (960 x 540). Although its resolution is not high, it should be enhanced by its use of OGS technology. Its processor is the 1.3GHz MTK6582 quad-core chipset. It also has 1GB RAM and 4GB ROM as well as a 2400mAh battery. It also sports a 3mp/8mp dual-camera.

Unfortunately, this phone does not support LTE internet but only WCDMA/GSM dual-SIM. It also uses the Android 4.42 as its OS. It has a thickness of only 7.9mm and has a very clean and simple design. It is available in black and white.

Like the rest of ONN’s recent products, there are no plans to release the V9 Only in China.

On August, Lenovo, together with China Unicom, launched four 4G phones, one of which is targeted at the entry-level market. It is called the Lenovo A606. Like the A806 and A916, the A606 will also use a LTE processor from MTK. Now, it is on sale in China Unicom official stores.

The best thing about the A606 is its internet settings. It uses the MTK6582 (1.3GHz) and MT6290 processors and supports TD-LTE and FDD-LTE 4G internet. It is also compatible with WCDMA and GSM networks. It only has one SIM card slot.

The Lenovo A606 sports a 5-inch IPS display screen with FWVGA resolution. It has 512Mb RAM and 4Gb ROM and also sports a .3/5mp dual-camera. It is powered by a 2000mAh battery and its OS is the Android 4.42-based VIBE UI.

The DG580 uses technology that has not been used by Doogee’s other products such as touchscreen technology. It also uses MTK’s latest HotKnot technology which provides it with 54Mbps speed for streaming music and videos.

The DG580 also uses the Android 4.42 OS which allows the user to do things such as double-clicking the Home button to lock the phone and quickly open apps by moving your fingers.

The DG580’s specs are so-so compared to Doogee’s earlier products such as the DG550 and DG650S. It has a bigger screen (5.5-inch) with qHD resolution. Its processor is the MTK6582 quad-core processor and it has 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM. It also sports an 8mp camera and is powered by a 2500mAh battery. It supports WCDMA/GSM internet. Many would also be surprised at how slim the DG580 is (5.5mm).

Imitations of famous cell phone brands are very common and the Xiaomi Redmi Note is no exception. Recently, a company called ZOOZ released a cell phone that carries an eerie resemblance to the Xiaomi Redmi Note called the ZOOZ S5.5.

Like the Redmi Note, the front of the ZOOZ S5.5 is black while the back is white. Its measurements are 154.9×78.7×9.45mm and it has a 3.55mm earphone jack.

This ZOOZ S5.5 phone uses the MTK6582 quad-core processor (1.3GHz), and sports a 5.5” IPS display screen with QHD resolution (960 x 540). It uses GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz and WCDMA 850/2100MHz, but also supports WCDMA/GSM dual-SIM. As for its touch screen, it uses Capacitive 5 points.

Regarding camera specifications, the S5.5 sports a 8MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. This phone is powered by a 3200mAH battery and uses a 5-pin USB and is OTG-supported.

As for the ZOOZ S5.5’s other features, it supports Bluetooth 4.0+EDR, FM Radio, expansion T-flash cards (up to 32GB), GPS, AGPS, Wi-FI and hot spots, LED flash, G-sensor, light-sensor and proto-sensor. Its operating system is the Android 4.4.2 and it also uses the MIUI.

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.

The post FDD-LTE-supported Elephone P3000 comes out at the end of July 7, 2014 appeared first on Gizmochina.

The new Elephone P3000 has been announced, a budget smartphone with some interesting features.

It has some promising features, such as a quad-core MT6582 chipset (1.3GHz) with an MT6290 LTE modem providing 4G LTE capability. There is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 5inch HD 1280 x 720 screen, 1GB RAM, 8GB storgae memory, 3150mAh battery, 13MP rear camera and 5MP front shooter. The design seems to be the sort that will polarise opinion, pretty square with the fingerprint scanner quite prominent on the reverse.

All in all, this promises to be a great piece of kit for the expected price range, with the 4G LTE capacity an excellent addition, the fingerprint scanner should provide something reasonable unique to play with and the battery life is relatively good. There have of course been some compromises made to keep the price down, and the screen resolution has taken a hit at 720p rather than 1080p and also the RAM is pretty low with only 1GB to play with.

    HDC is making a good living out of cloning the HTC range of smartphones. Sales of the many previous models have been impressive and people on a low budget are appreciating the good value these clone models provide. The HDC Desire 816 is a clone of the HTC Desire 816 and as such contains comparable design and similar hardware at a fraction of the cost of the original.  This model is retailing at $159.99 which is a very competitive price. How is the performance though and what do you get for your money? Well, let’s take a look.

HDC Desire 816: Design

The look of the HDC Desire 816 is identical to the original HTC model, it is slim and well designed with a large 5.5 inch screen which is not Gorilla Glass. There are the usual ports but they are covered with a plastic flap so they don’t compromise the simple beauty of the design. With even the boot screen being identical to the original and the HTC logo being displayed it really would be hard to spot the difference between original and clone on looks alone.

HDC Desire 816: Performance

The HDC Desire 816 must lose out somewhere on the performance if the price tag is to be anything other than miraculous. The screen is one area of compromise, with the HDC version using a 720p screen whereas the original HTC model has 1080p. The lower specifications do not mean poor quality here though and the screen performs well under most conditions, bright sunlight does cause some visibility difficulties however.

The specifications are fairly standard but good value: there is a MTK6582 quad-core processor and 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM running Android 4.2 OS. The system works well though, scoring reasonable highly on benchmark tests and the performance in general use is good.

Despite some misinformation here, the company claim it has a 13Mp camera but tests have found that it is at most 8Mp, although it has some nice bonus features such as Autofocus and 5x Zoom. These are some photos taken with it:

The battery, with 26000 Mah, has a 2-3 days standby life so with reasonably low performance use should last one day.

Conclusion

Overall the HDC Desire 816 is not a top end smartphone, but it is a well-performing package for the price. For those on a budget it really is a good looking and very functional smartphone that hides its deficiencies very well.

Poulo recently introduced a new phone that copies OPPO’s R1 series with its two-sided glass design, the Poulo X606-R1.  It’s available in black and white. Both versions have gold sidebars. Both the front and back of the X606 are covered by glass (possibly the Corning Gorilla Glass 3). Its measurements are 142.5 x 70.2 x 7.9mm.

There are rumors that the X606 has a 5-inch 1080p screen and uses the MT6592 octa-core chipset. It may also have 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM. and a 5mP/13mP camera. Its operating system is also supposed to be customized.

However, according to the Poulo’s official websie, the X606-R1 has a 5-inch 720p screen and its processor is the quad-core MT6582 chipset. It’s also supposed to have a 8m camera and 1500mha battery, and is supposed to support TD-SCDMA China Mobile 3G internet.

If both the rumors and official reports are not wrong, then high and low versions may be released. We’ll see soon.
