Antutu  is a famous app used to check your phone benchmark. Smartphones having the high Antutu score are usually the powerful devices. This time, we’ll bring you the best Antutu scores smartphones for June.

1. LeEco Le 2S X720 (154000 scores)

After Max 2 Pro, the Chinese company – LeEco- decided to release another flagship-LeEco Le 2S X720 . And this flagship will be coming soon. On the Antutu software, LeEco Le 2S X720 specs are leaked completely. According to Antutu, X720 is gonna be the first phone to feature a SDN 821 processor. With the amazing score of 154000, the device is now the champion of the list. So, let’s have a look at this powerhouse!

X720 will feature a 1920 x 1080 display and run on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow. LeEco Le 2S X720 release date is still a mystery.

Even before reading this article, we all know that a smartphone with 8GB RAM is definitely stronger than one with 6GB RAM or 4GB RAM. However, have you ever wondered how powerful it really is?

8GB RAM smartphone: how powerful is it?

Seeing more and more smartphones launched with 8GB RAM, doubled that of the current 4GB RAM flagships, many of us can’t stop but wonder that, do we really need that much RAM? What are the differences you can experience when using a smartphone with such a huge RAM capacity? In a previous article, we talked about how our smartphones function as well as explained the way they use up the RAM capacity. Now, we will go further into details so that you can really understand how powerful 8GB RAM smartphones can actually be.

We know that after each activity finishes, or after each app you close, your phone doesn’t stop the action immediately. Instead, the current process is kept inside the system (aka cache) and stay there. This help your phone to resume the process faster when you come back. Only until there is the need to free up memory to run another app does it finally kill off the cache. And in order to decide which process to keep and which to kill first, there is the LMK driver (Low Memory Killer). This driver, depending on each mobile, will evaluate and rank each process into a different level of importance.

Therefore, the main different between a 4GB RAM smartphone and a 6GB RAM smartphone, or a 6GB RAM smartphone and an 8GB RAM smartphone is that the bigger RAM is able to cache more processes in the background. These can stay for a longer time without having to activate the LMK to kill them off. The more and longer processes stay as cache, the better multi-tasking your smartphone will perform. However, this doesn’t depend only on the RAM but needs the contribution of other features too, especially the UI. That being said, the lightest UI gives the largest portion of free RAM on the device.

8GB RAM smartphone VS 4GB RAM smartphone

To make the long story short, 8GB RAM offer doubled the capacity for cache storage, compared to 4GB RAM smartphones. For the exact same model with no changing in terms of the UI, processor and CPU, we can say that the 8GB RAM variant can do twice as good multi tasking as its 4GB RAM counterpart.

Xiaomi Mi Max was just announced not long ago and has become one of the most trending phones in China. Let’s see the reasons why this phone is so popular!

Xiaomi Mi Max: Great specs and stunning design

First up, Xiaomi Mi Max comes with stunning design. Just like many other phones from this Chinese brand, Mi Max arrives with a metal unibody. The phone measures only 7.5mm thin, which is really really thin considering its giant battery. Although the phone packs a massive display, it is very comfortable to hold the phone in hand or in pocket, thanks to its minimized bezels. One more highlight is that the phone weighs only 203 gram.

Second, the display of Xiaomi Mi Max is excellent. The phone comes with a massive 6.4-inch full HD screen with the pixel density of 342ppi. The screen is also covered with 2.5D Gorilla Glass. The screen brightness can be adjusted up to 540 units, and that makes the display very clear even in intense sunlight. The massive screen also helps users enjoy playing games or watching movies.

Thirdly, Xiaomi Mi Max specs are great! It comes with a combo of two quad-core Cortex A53 processor, one clocked at 1.8GHz and the other clocked at 1.4GHz. Moreover, there is a Snapdragon 652 chipset to drive the system smoothly and Adreno 510 GPU to take a good care of the graphics. The phone also offers up tp 128GB of ROM and packs a massive battery of 4820mAh!

Xiaomi Mi Max: Great choice for photography

Last but not least, Xiaomi Mi Max comes with great camera combo. On the back, there is a 16MP main camera with Dual Flash. The aperture of the camera is clocked at f/2.0, which allows users to take photos very quickly. The front camera is clocked at 5MP with the same aperture as its brother. Reviews have shown that in good conditions, the camera of this phone clicks stunning photos at a high speed. With such great specs, Xiaomi Mi Max price comes at only $300.

You may think 1 second is nothing. You can’t do anything in just this time. You might want to think again. Because there’re many things happen on the Internet for just 1 second. 

Tons of things on the Internet in 1s

1 second is a small unit of time. What can you do in just 1 second? Not much, right? You can’t wear a T-shirt, eat a tiny cake, or take off your shoes in just one second. However, you may be surprised to know that there’re many things that can happen in that time. If you don’t believe it, check it out! 54000 research on Google, 125000 video watching on Youtube, 2.5m email sent, 52000 likes, 2000 Skype calls, 700 pictures Instagram posted, etc are what happen in 1s.

According to Motherboard, there are about 3.4 billion (about 46.1% world population) which can access the Internet. While in 5 years ago, this number was just 31.8%. You can easily see that the popularity of the Internet has increased dramatically in the last 5 years. Averagely, an adult will spend about 20 hours per week for getting online. For a teenager, it’s more with 27 hours/week. Researchers predict that these numbers will continue rising fastly in the next few years.

So, what do billions of people do on the Internet. Well, they do a lot, according to a statistical website – internetlivestats. In one second, there’ll be 54000 Google search ( means 90 billion times/month and 1000 billion times/year), 6000 tweets, 3472 photos Facebook posted, 15 logins + 289 votes+23 commences on Reddit, 1450 Netflix video watching hours and many more.

Everything won’t be the same

This is just a few numbers proving the Internet spread. You may be surprised to know that there is only a website used by some uesers in 1991. Compared to now, there’re about a billion websites with 3.4 billion users. And one worth noticing is that the Internet just covers half of the world. So, in the next couple years, these numbers will increase critically and the unit of time, instead of second, will be nano second.

About half of the smartphones in the world are Android phones! So have you ever wondered why they are more popular than Apple phones or Windows phones? Here are the reasons!

Android phones: High level of customization!

First of all, Android phones offers millions of apps! We all know this! There are countless applications for you to choose in Google Play – Android appstore. Because Android is a system with open source, many people are allowed to develop and sell their own apps via Google Play. Moreover, there are more free apps in Android than in iOs and Windows!

Second, Android phones come with flexible interface. Again, because Android is an open-source OS, we can change the user interface as much as we like! Many famous smartphone brands even design their own OS based on Android OS. There are also lots of apps for you to change the lockscreen, the gadgets, the icons in the way you prefer. Normally it’s hard to find two Android phones that share exactly the same interface design.

Third, Android phones are very abundant. Except Apple, all other smartphone brands support Android in their devices. Even Nokia is expected to come with a new Android phone this year! So there are plenty of options for you to choose. You can find Android in many kinds of phones: common or premium; Chinese or non-Chinese, budget or luxury,…

Android phones: great supports from Google the giant!

Last but not least, Android phones are greatly support by Google. We all know that Google gives birth to Android, and the giant really takes a good care of this child! Android is supported by many useful Google add-ons and applications such as Google Search, Google Drive, Google Doc, Google Calender, Gmail, etc. I’m 100% sure that you are familiar with at least one of those apps! I personally use them almost everyday to arrange my work.

Smartphone with a big battery is always a hot item. There are so many OEMs stepping into this market. So, who’s gonna be the winner in the long battery life smartphone battle ?

Long battery life smartphone: Samsung vs Sony

Smartphone battery is one of buyers’ most interests. This is in the top reasons for smartphone choice. That’s why many smartphone manufacturers focus on this feature. There’ve been many companies releasing their phones with big batteries. Let’s see which brand has the most impressive battery life so far. A survey of smartphone battery life was conducted in the last three years by Phone Arena team.

As you can see from the chart, Samsung and Sony are the two highlight companies offering the best battery so far. However, Sony has the unstable frequencies due to the 6-month upgrade cycles. In the early of 2013, its average cell is just 300 minutes, but at the end of 2014, this cell is up dramatically thanks to Xperia Z3. And after that, it falls again with the Xperia Z3+ and Xperia Z5, and go up again with Xperia X.

Among the three others big names: iPhone, HTC, LG and Motorola, HTC’s battery capacity seems to be the most stable with the growth rate from 350-425’. However, the company doesn’t have any breakthrough. Moto X is in the same case as it can’t pass the number 400. The big brand from the US has a battery improvement after being complained. With the average cell of 500 minutes, iPhone has even passed the Galaxy S lineup. LG can’t follow the success of LG G2. LG is on the lowest level in the top 5 big brands.

Long battery life smartphone: Sony is crowned

So, Sony and Samsung is the two best battery phones so far. The most highlight of Samsung is the Galaxy Note series. The battery of this lineup continues to raise. Generally, Sony still surpasses its rival from Korea for the last two years despite being not stable.

Back to 5 to 6 years ago, big-screen smartphone is not popular. At that time, the 5-inch smartphone was criticised for its inconvenience. But now, this feature is a trend. So, let’s have a look at the first phone to sport an over 5-inch display.

First smartphone with 5-inch display: Note

Big screen smartphone is not the “strange” thing anymore. There’ve been many smartphones with huge displays like Xiaomi Mi Max. On 11/2009, HTC HD2 was released with a 4.3 screen size. At this time, this was the first big-screen smartphone in the market. Compared to this moment, 4.3 inches is becoming too small, right? However, you might not know the first smartphone with the screen size of 5 inches.

In January 2011, the Korea giant released its first products with the screen size of 5.3 inches- Galaxy Note. This first Note generation is also the first 5-inch smartphone in the market. With the Super AMOLED display and the resolution of 800 x 1280px, the device immediately drew everyone’s attentions for its display. It is also the first phablet which is equipped with the stylus pen.

In addition to Galaxy Note specs, it is powered by a dual-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9. It packs a 1GB of RAM paired with a 32GB of inbuilt storage (expandable to 64GB). For the photography, Samsung added a 2MP selfie snapper and an 8MP back shooter. The handset is backed with a 250mAh battery life.

Note generations with bigger screen

After the first 5.3-inch smartphone, Samsung continued bringing the other products with the bigger screens. Galaxy Note 2 is with the 5.5- inch display, Galaxy Note 3’s screen is 5.7 inches. This 5.7 screen size remains on the next generations Note 4 and Note 5. Even Note 7 will also have the same screen size. Galaxy Note 7 launch will be on 2nd, August. So, keep your eyes on Note 7. Everything is coming so closed.
