Oppo is one of the Chinese manufacturers that produces both great, yet not that expensive devices if we compare it to the rivals from South Korea or Cupertino company. At the end of the last year Oppo launched a few new products, which included Oppo N3 with a rotatable camera and crazy thin (4.85mm) Oppo R5. It seems that the company does not want to stop launching new device as they have quietly launched their new product – Oppo 3000.

Also, there are usual 3 capacitive buttons on the bottom, earphone along with the 5mp front facing shooter. What is more, the screen size is only 4.7 inches (720p variety), and the whole device is very compact at  only 137 x 68.8 x 8.95mm.

Oppo 3000 seems to be a mid-ranger with a great camera. It has an 8mp Sony IMX179 sensor with a  f / 2.0 aperture. In addition, there sensor has 5-element lens and has an addition blue glass filter, which should provide a great picture quality. On the front, there is a 5mp wide-angle shooter.

Vivo is widely known in China and getting more and more attention internationally. Is is known for releasing very thin or even the thinnest devices in the world like the recently announced X5Max, devices with Hi-Fi audio features, great cameras etc.

This time around, the company is about to unveil yet another device in their portfolio – Y29.

As you can see from the above pictures of the device, which is yet to be officially released, it spots a dual glass sandwich construction, meaning that there is a glass panel on the front and the back of the device. We cannot see the device from the front, but we presume it will have the usual Vivo looks as it has on all the devices. Looking further to the device, the back features glass and the camera with the LED flash placement on the top left corner, which reminds us a little bit of inspiration by the Sony Xperia family devices. In addition, the device has aluminium frame going around, which always adds some premium look and feel.

All this beauty is packed in a very light (only 128g) and slim body (6.67mm).

As far as specs go, the Y29 appears to a be a midrange device. The smartphone is said to have 5 inches (only 720p) screen, which is fairly compact in size. What is more, the 64-bit Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM will be running the show along with the 16 GB of storage (information about the Micro SD card slot is not yet disclosed). In addition, there is a 13mp camera on the back and 5mp shooter on the front.

As usual to Vivo, the manufacturer adds the Hi-Fi audio goodies, which include Japanese AKM AK4375 embedded audio chip and other solutions to help your ears hear the joy.

We are not yet aware of the pricing and the availability of the device. Still, we expect it to come at the premium price tag and firstly released in China.

HTC has set a new bar in the Android world by introducing the devices like the One M7 and One M8, which both had stunning all metal body design, top-notch specs and great, yet simple user interface.

This time around, we are waiting for a new true flagship device from the company, because it has been a while since they released their last flagship One M8. It seems that the new top seller will be a heck of the device as the benchmarking system Antutu disclosed quite a lot of specs.

As we can see from the above mentioned specs, the new HTC, which has a codename HTC Hima(M9) will be a true powerhouse. It uses a top of the line Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip, clocked at up to 2.0GHz, Adreno 430 graphics processor, 3GB of Ram memory, 5 inches 1080P screen, 13mp front camera and 20.7 million-pixel rear camera (most likely Sony made), Android 5.0.1 with new HTC Sense skin on top of it.

We can say a few points about the upcoming device from the HTC. First, the good thing is that they are finally ditching the poorly received 4mp Ultra Pixel camera, which was a major drawback from the M8 device. We are happy to see a huge improvement in the camera department.

Secondly, staying with the 1080P screen may not sound a pretty good idea if the HTC want to have best of the best device in 2015. However, the necessity of Quad HD displays will always be a matter of discussion.
