Being an established rugged smartphone manufacturer, Blackview has successfully released many rugged devices that offer protection from water, dust, and accidental drops. Over the last years, more manufacturers surfaced offering similar phones but Blackview has managed to remain among the top companies. The recent release of the BV9700 Pro flagship is a perfect example of their expertise and now it is time for their next model to hit the market. We are talking about the BV6100 rugged phablet with the enormous, 6.88″ display.

The Blackview BV6100 was initially announced during the MWC 2019 and the pictures provided by Blackview confirm the leaked photos and renderings we’ve seen in the past with some differences in display size and rounded corners. The killer feature, of course, is the 6.88″ display that many could say belongs to the tablet market but if you think about it, there are many smartphones with similar display size. A 6.88″ display is rather convenient when browsing the web, playing games or watching videos so many users will be happy with it.

Apart from the large display, rumors say that it should come with a monster battery as well and that can be considered almost certain as Blackview has a rich past with big battery phones. In addition, the device features a rather uncommon notch named “Cape of Good Hope” by the company since it sits right in the upper right corner of the display.

For the time being that’s all the information we have for the upcoming phablet but soon more will be available since it will be released in July. At the same time, the latest flagship from Blackview, BV9700 Pro, is still in global presale and you can grab one at a reduced price together with free gifts. If you are interested in new features like Night Vision Camera, Air Quality Detection, and Heart Rate monitor, visit the promo page.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 was announced at an official event in China a few minutes back. This is an important smartphone for the company as it’s only the second large screen phablet from the company in recent years and considering the popularity of the original Xiaomi Mi Max, the new generation Mi Max 2 has some pretty large shoes to fill.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Design

Design wise, the Mi Max 2 does not incorporate any significant changes than its predecessor. What’s changed at the back are the antenna band design on the top as well as the bottom. They are now tucked towards the top and bottom edges, thereby creating a seamless back design. The fingerprint sensor is still on the back. The design looks a bit curvier than before, but we can confirm this only after we get our hands on the phablet.

Coming to the front of the phone, everything is almost the same as before. However, Xiaomi adds that the black borders around the screen (which we all hate) are now thinner than the first generation model.

The company seems to have reduced the thickness of the black borders quite significantly, now measuring just 0.7mm, which is great!

As for the dual LED flash position, it’s now located on the left side of the camera sensor instead of the right. One more thing, there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack on top, so you don’t have to worry about getting Type-C headphones, at least not for this phone.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Specs

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 comes with the Snapdragon 625 chipset inside with 4GB RAM and 64GB of internal storage. There’s a 4GB + 128GB model as well. Now, to be honest, it’s disappointing to see SD625 inside the phablet. We were expecting much a better chipset inside, something like the SD660.

The Mi Max 2 comes with the same 12MP IMX386 sensor as the Xiaomi Mi 6. The pixel size has been increased to 1.25um for better quality pictures along with a night mode enhancement feature. Other camera specs include PDAF, dual tone LED flash, and dynamic range adjustment.

Coming to the battery, Xiaomi has made the Mi Max 2 an even better battery monster. The new generation model now comes with a much larger 5300mAh battery inside that promises up to 18 hours of video playback. You can get up to 9 hours of continuous gaming or 21 hour continuous navigation or 57 hour continuous talktime or even 10 day continuous music playback with this huge battery on board. Further, charging it won’t be an issue since the phone supports QC 3.0 and charges up to 68% in an hour.

You get stereo speakers inside, an upgrade from the single speaker on the Mi Max.

Here’s a basic Mi Max 2 Specs summary:

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Software

Xiaomi has revealed that it has tweaked MIUI to improve user experience on the Xiaomi Mi Mi Max 2. The phone comes with a floating ball which can be used to open your most frequently used apps. Then there are other features such as one hand mode and others features which will help in the day to day use of the 6.44-inch display phablet.

No word on the Android version yet, but expect at least Android 7.1 with MIUI 8.2.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Price & Availability

The Xiaomi Mi Mix is priced at 1699 Yuan (~$248) for the 4GB + 64GB version and 1999 yuan (~$291) for the 4GB + 128GB version. It will go on sale on June 1 via online as well as offline stores.

You know, I’ve reviewed quite a few smartphones over the time but some of the devices keep astonishing me. I just came across the unknown and unheard 6” all-metal phone that is called PPTV King 7. It not only looks great but it is powerful and it costs just $130. Learn more in our full review.

Thanks to Banggood.com for sending the PPTV King 7 for a review

PPTV King 7 Review: VIDEO REVIEW

PPTV King 7 Review: UNBOXING

The phone ships in a premium box where all the items are packed neatly but there are no extras included.

PPTV King 7 Review: DESIGN

The King 7 is a truly premium-looking device since it is made almost entirely of metal (except for the top and bottom parts for antennas), the metal buttons are tactile, and they do not rattle, and finally, the phone sits nicely in the hand.

The phone is huge due to its 6” display, which has 2K resolution and it is definitely one of the best panels you can’t find on any device in this price range. I know that many people complain about the black bezels around the display but I’m okay with that. Well, you can’t have it all at this price point.

We have an 8MP camera and a nice pulsing notification LED light on the front. I don’t like the fact that there are only the on-screen navigation keys but at least you can switch the position of them.

As for the main camera, we have a 13MP shooter that is coupled with a dual-tone dual LED flash.

When it comes to audio, the loudspeaker is easily one of the best in this price range.

Also, the sound quality via earphones is just great since the PPTV phone has a built-in Hi-Fi audio chip. Finally, the top-mounted IR blaster works just fine with my Samsung TV.

PPTV King 7 Review: HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE

When it comes to the specs, the King 7 is a little outdated but it is still plenty powerful for such a low price.

The phone ships with the Helio X10 chip, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, which can be further expanded via the microSD card slot.

The 3D gaming experience is pretty good. Although you may see some skipped frames on the highest graphics in some games but switching graphics to medium solves the issue.

PPTV King 7 Review: BENCHMARKS

PPTV King 7 Review: USER INTERFACE

As far as the user interface, you will love it or hate it. The phone runs on the outdated Android 5.1 and there is a heavily customised PP OS UI skin on top of it.

The performance of the UI is pretty good as I didn’t have any lags or stutter. You may love the user interface because there are plenty of customization options, various settings and tweaks to play with. On the other hand, you may hate it since there is no app tray, the icons look cartoonish and you may not need all those extra features if you are a more conservative user.

Well, I can definitely live with this user interface as it has been running smoothly but I always prefer stock Android, so I downloaded the third-party launcher.

PPTV King 7 Review: IMAGE QUALITY

IT IS HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED TO DOWNLOAD FULL RESOLUTION CAMERA SAMPLES TO SEE THE ACTUAL IMAGE QUALITY. THE PICTURES UPLOADED ON THE WEBSITE ARE 50% SMALLER IN RESOLUTION.

As for image quality, you should not expect any stellar results from a cheap phone like this. Still, you may get some nice-looking photos that are pretty sharp and detailed. However, the camera has some issues with the edge-to-edge focusing and there could a little bit more detail in some of the shots.

The selfie camera has a pretty aggressive beautification mode so the images will definitely look great on social media.

The video quality is just mediocre as on most of the cheap phones. Unfortunately, I could not play any 4K video samples on my Mac due to format compatibility issues but make sure to check out the video description for original camera samples. See the video review or download original camera samples using the link below.

PPTV King 7 Review: CONNECTIVITY

When it comes to connectivity, the phone performs well. The signal strength and call quality are good, the Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS work fine.

PPTV King 7 Review: BATTERY LIFE

The King 7 ships with the 3610mAh battery and it has to power a huge 2K resolution display. I was sceptical once I first saw the spec sheet but surprisingly, I managed to get over 5 hours of screen-on time on a mixed use, which is a good result. Unfortunately, the phone does not ship with the fast charger.

N.B. charging graph indicates the time when the phone was connected to the computer for approx. 1-2 mins for data transfer.

PPTV King 7 Review: CONCLUSIONS

Honestly, I have never heard about the PPTV company before but the King 7 exceeded my expectations, to say the least.

For the price of just $130, this phone is a great value since it has an excellent build quality, very nice and sharp 6” 2k display, a little outdated but still decent specs, feature-rich UI and a pretty good overall performance.

Obviously, the phone is not for everyone due to its size. Also, some may hate the black bezels around the display, the phone runs on the outdated Android 5.1 and there is no fingerprint sensor.

Still, if you consider that this phone has a decent camera, great sound quality and a pretty good battery life, the PPTV King 7 is an awesome phone for the price, despite previously mentioned shortcomings.

Let’s admit, very large smartphones are not for everyone but they have some advantages that other phones lack. I came across the 6.44” smartphone that you have probably not heard of. It costs just $130 but I was amazed by how much value it offers. Learn more in our full review.

Thanks to Banggood for sending Ramos MOS1 Max for a review.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: VIDEO REVIEW

[embedyt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq4iZUjbDAE[/embedyt]

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: UNBOXING

I’m talking about the Ramos MOS1 Max phone that comes in quite a premium packaging. Inside the box, you can find all the usual items that you would expect to come with any phone.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: DESIGN and DISPLAY

The key aspect of this phone is its size and that is because of a huge 6.44” 1080p display, which is surprisingly great, sharp and vibrant for such a cheap phone.

Also, the phone is made almost entirely of metal (except for the top and bottom parts for antennas). The device sits nicely in the hand but you will definitely need two hands to handle it.

I love the fact that there are no moving parts whatsoever. The dual-micro SIM card tray stays firmly and buttons do not rattle, and they have a good tactile feedback.

I don’t like the fact that we have only the on-screen navigation buttons. A great thing is that there is a notification LED light, which sits next to the 8MP front-facing camera.

Usually, the loudspeakers suck on the cheap phones but I have to tell you that the Ramos Mos 1 is one of the better devices in this department.

Same can be said about the sound quality via the headset jack as the phone sports a Hi-Fi audio chip.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: HARDWARE and PERFORMANCE

For the price of $130, the phone sports some pretty good specs. The device ships with an octa-core MTK6753 chip, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, which is, however, not expandable.

The 3D gaming performance is not as good as I expected as there are quite a few skipped frames even if you play Asphalt 8 on medium graphics.

On the other hand, the 2D games work just fine and the phone does not overheat.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: BENCHMARKS

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: USER INTERFACE

What I love about this phone is that it ships with the stock Android ROM and the device is pretty fast on the daily basis, and I didn’t have any lags or hiccups. However, we have the outdated Android 5.1 version and I’m not really sure if we are going to see an update to the Android 6.0 anytime soon.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: IMAGE QUALITY

As for image quality, you should not expect any stellar results from a cheap phone like this. Still, you may get some nice-looking photos that are pretty sharp and detailed. However, the camera has some issues handling the dynamic range, there could a little bit more detail in some of the shots.

The selfie camera can take images that will definitely do the trick for social media.

The video quality is just mediocre as on most of the cheap phones. See the video review for a video sample.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: CONNECTIVITY

I didn’t have any connectivity issues and even the GPS lock speeds and accuracy were okay. The only downside would be that there is not 5GHz Wifi band support.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: BATTERY LIFE

The battery life is one of the highlights of the Ramos phone as it ships with a beefy 6100mAh unit. I could not kill the phone in one day and I would say that you will be able to get at least 2 days of moderate usage out of this phone. Also, the phone supports a quick-charge tech and I was able to fully charge it in around 1:40 mins.

RAMOS MOS 1 Max Review: CONCLUSIONS

The MOS1 Max was the very first phone made by Ramos that I had a chance to review. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much value this phone offers.

It all starts with a gorgeous 6.44” display, excellent all-metal build, great sound quality, stock Android user interface and awesome battery life.

However, the MOS1 Max is not for everyone due to its size. It is not really possible to handle the phone in one hand or even put it in the pocket but if you are watching this review, you are probably looking for a phablet.

Other shortcomings worth considering would be the lack of the microSD card slot, the outdated Android 5.1 user interface, only the on-screen navigation buttons and subpar 3D gaming performance.

Other than that, the Ramos MOS1 Max is a great offering for the price if you are looking for a super-sized phone, despite a few shortcomings.

A few days back, we had spotted a Honor phablet with a massive 6.6-inch display. While we expected the phone to debut alongside the Honor 8 flagship, that clearly didn’t happen. Now, the latest information from China reveals that the Honor V8 Max will be announced in August this year, precisely on August 1.

Along with a possible release date, the Honor V8 Max prices were also leaked today. It is said that the phablet with 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM will start at 1999 Yuan ($300) while the 4GB RAM + 64GB ROM will retail at 2299 Yuan ($345). There could be other announcements alongside this phablet at the event, but we are not sure of the details.

Thanks to the previous TENAA listing of the Honor V8 Max, we know most of the specifications of the device. The phone will come with a massive 6.6-inch 2K display with Kirin 950 chipset inside clocked at 2.3GHz. There are at least two versions expected, 3GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB. There will be a fingerprint sensor as well. At the back, the phablet comes with a 13MP camera while up front, there will be an 8MP shooter. The battery is also quite large, with a capacity of 4400mAh. Finally, the phone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

RELATED: Xiaomi Mi Max announced with a massive 6.44-inch display

Considering these specs, the Honor V8 Max is looking to directly compete with the Xiaomi Mi Max phablet that has been doing well in China. Even this model comes with an all metal design, similar to the design of the V8. But there is just one single camera instead of the dual camera setup on the V8 flagship. It is quite slim as well, measuring just 7.18mm in thickness.

So, what do you think about the upcoming Honor V8 Max? Which one would you go for, the V8 Max or the Mi Max?

Xiaomi is all set to unveil its first true phablet on May 10, namely the Xiaomi Max. We have been hearing about the phone for the past few days, and we have already seen multiple renders as well as specs of the device.

Since this is going to be a large screen phablet, there’s always the question of how big of a screen is good enough. Most customers would want to have as much screen real estate as possible on their smartphones without severely affecting the user experience. But that may differ from person to person. So, manufacturers often have their take on the ideal large screen size. In fact, Xiaomi CEO revealed earlier today that the company has thought about this and it would reveal their take on the ideal screen size on May 10, when the Xiaomi Max phablet is released.

“We do not want the phone too much, but we all want a screen as large as possible. Phone screen is much critical point? This problem has troubled us for a long time, May 10 press conference I will tell you the results of our thinking” revealed Xiaomi CEO via Weibo today.

Late last month, Lei Jun had revealed via his official Weibo account that he got to spend a few months with the Xiaomi Max engineering model and he was impressed with it. He enjoyed using the device and the large screen experience was unmatched.

So, we are all excited to see what Xiaomi has in store for us with its new phablet. As for the specs, earlier leaks have revealed that the phone will come with a 6.4-inch 1080p display, Snapdragon 650 hexa-core chipset, with 2GB / 3GB RAM options and 16GB / 32GB storage options. There should be a 16MP rear camera and a 5MP front shooter. The pricing is said to be cheap, somewhere around 1299 Yuan ($200).

So, what’s your ideal phablet screen size? I think 6-inches would be ideal, but I want to know your thoughts.

The post Xiaomi CEO: We Will Reveal The Ideal Phablet Screen Size On May 10 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Thanks to innovative Chinese smartphone manufacturers, we have some beautiful low-cost smartphones in the market right now. However, one of the biggest drawbacks of cheap devices is the small display on board. Now, for most, that’s not an issue. But for some, who want a big screen smartphone, there aren’t many cheap options in the market and definitely not in the sub-$100 segment. This is where VKWorld is aiming to change things. The company is reportedly working on a new smartphone called as the VKWorld T1 and this particular device will feature a massive 6-inch body. So, what about the cost? It is said that the phone will be sold for just $59.99, which is insanely cheap for such a large screen smartphone.

And what about the body? VKWorld T1 will also reportedly come with good looks and a sturdy body thanks to the use of aluminum. The phone’s body is diamond cut with double chamfered edges, and goes through abrasive blasting, and anodic oxidation for a premium finish. There will be three colors available, silver, gray and gold.

Along with the details about the body, we also have some information on the specs of the device. For display, the VKWorld T1 features a 6-inch 2.5D screen with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. There will be a quad-core chip inside with 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage. At the back, you can expect a 13MP camera while up front, a 5MP shooter. All the known specs of the T1 are listed as below.

• 6-Inch 2.5D IPS Display
• Quad-Core Processor
• 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass
• 13MP+5MP Camera
• 2G RAM+16G ROM
• Micro SD Card Expansion
• Dual SIM

We still don’t know some details like the resolution of the screen or the name of the chip inside. Hopefully, we can get those details pretty soon.

So, are you interested in a low cost, good looking phablet?

Meanwhile, you can read about the flagship model from the company, the VKWorld T6 from here.

Cube has enjoyed success in the phablet market with its Talk flagship series due to their great features and affordable prices. Early June, Cube released the Talk8, a qud-core phablet with an 8-inch screen that only costs 599 RMB (97.71 USD), and now they will release a new cheaper version, the Talk8 H.

The Talk8 H is a watered down version of the original. The Talk8’s G+G touchscreen has been replaced with a G+P but both are still made of the same material. Furthermore, the Talk8’s 5mp AF rear camera has been replaced with a 2mp one.

They say that any press is good press, and it has certainly rung true; particularly for the quickly escalating Xiaomi company; a popular Chinese-based smartphone producer recently alleged to have infringed upon a Singapore customer’s personal data disclosure rights. These stories revolving around privacy issues may or may not be well founded; however there is no doubt about the Xiaomi brand’s increasingly fantastic reputation for providing excellent phone service at a very reasonable cost. Xiaomi leapt ahead of Samsung in the competition to provide the number one smartphone in China in mid-2014, and the company shows signs of continuing on their path of success. The latest and greatest Xiaomi device to hit the market is of course the Redmi Note 4G LTE model; of which 100,000 were sold within the first 35 seconds of release!

This phablet; or phonelet; has been available for some time now, but this certainly hasn’t decreased its’ popularity. Xiaomi is rumored to be on the verge of a brand new and exciting release according to sources. The Xiaomi 4G LTE model is rumored to make its’ first appearance within the next few weeks. The 4G Redmi Note LTE has some really great specs for those looking for a device on a budget. It is equipped with a 3200mAh battery, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor that clocks 1.6 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. With a microSD card, you can add an additional 64 GB of storage. The Redmi Note HD display screen is 5.5 inches; with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The phablet’s camera is pretty standard; with 13MP, autofocus and LED flash. There is however an additional 5MP front-facing cameras for those who wish to video chat or take pics with their friends. The price is pretty fantastic, at roughly $162.

Unfortunately for the US, the chances of the Redmi Note 4G LTE model ever making it overseas in the immediate future are slim to none. The phone’s 4G capabilities only apply in China and India for the time being. Xiaomi is however working towards the eventual goal of emerging in the US market; estimated to occur sometime in 2015. They are methodically establishing their reputation within their own nation; as well as other low to mid-range markets before tackling the US market; which seems to be a well-functioning plan thus far.
