Nokia Swan and Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro are about to take part in a 4GB RAM smartphone war. They are all excellent models but which one will be the better! Check it out now!

Nokia Swan vs Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro

We all know that Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro is the first handset of the company coming with 6GB RAM and other cool features. However, today, we would like to look at only its 4GB RAM version. It will go head-to-head with one of the hottest Nokia models this year now – Nokia Swan. And since they are all beautiful in terms of design, we won’t talk much about their appearance comparison. Instead, we’d like to dig deeper into comparing their hardware.

Firstly, let’s see what they have in common. Both devices own powerful 4GB RAM, which has become a popular trend for smartphones in 2016 but never too “old” in terms of strength. As a result, they can handle many heavy tasks without difficulties. In addition, each of them also has a dual SIM, a USB Type-C port, fast charging tech, an 8MP selfie camera, and a quite similar screen size (Nokia Swan 5.3-inch and Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro 5.2-inch). In general, they are already decent features for a good machine. Yet, the following differences will help you pick out the better.

Specifically, Nokia Swan specs are said to include an 2.5GHz Intel chip, 128GB of internal storage, 2K display resolution, a 20MP PureView rear snapper and a big battery capable of at least 3,500mAh. Meanwhile, 4GB RAM Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro specs contain a Snapdragon 820 (dual-core 2.15GHz + dual-core 1.6GHz) processor, 64GB of ROM, Full HD res, a 13MP primary shooter and a 3,100mAh cell. Obviously, the new Lenovo smartphone is kind of less strong than its rival.

Nokia Swan vs Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro: Price and Availability

Price-wise, Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro price has not been out yet, but it surely will be under $415 for the 4GB variant. As for Nokia Swan price, it is predicted to be around $320. Then, we can see the Nokia’s product is really a great deal for consumers in general and definitely able to make Nokia fans proud of it. Therefore, let’s look forward to Nokia comeback together and hope they’re gonna introduce the Swan real soon.

This year, 2 flagships of Asus and Acer will show up. The Asus Zenfone 3 vs Acer Predator 6: this is gonna be a tough 4GB RAM battle of two big brands. Who’s gonna be the winner?

Asus Zenfone 3 vs Acer Predator 6: two flagships of this year

Predator 6 is the most expecting gaming smartphone in this year. The Acer Predator 6 launch was in 2015. However, until now, we haven’t heard any more news from it. On the other hand, the third generation of the Zenfone line- the Zenfone 3 is also the “hot” smartphone in this year. And now, the day this phone coming is so close. These two phones are expected to be the flagships of the companies in 2016. Both of them will come with 4GB RAM and 21MP cameras on the back.

The Predator 6 specs are said to dominate any kind of game. Under the hood is gonna be a deca-core Helio X20 MediaTek processor and run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. While the Zenfone 3 is powered by a Snapdragon 820 SoC with Adreno 530 GPU and run on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS. The Asus new phone is bigger than the one from Zenfone in the size screen. The Predator 6 sports a 6-inch Full HD display. This feature on Zenfone 3 is 5.5 inches.

These flagships are the powerful smartphones. They both have their own strengths to compete with one another. However, If you are a gamer-holic, or you want to have a total new experience in the gaming, the Predator 6 is probably the better choice for you. Because this phone is gonna immerse you in the game world with the directional haptic feedback system.

Asus Zenfone 3 vs Acer Predator 6: release date and price

The Asus Zenfone 3 price is gonna be in the range of $250 to $370. While the Acer Predator 6 price is still a mystery. We still have nothing official from the company. So, if you can’t wait to have one of these flagship smartphones, you can choose the Asus smartphone. Because the Asus Zenfone 3 launch day will be on 30th May and its release date is gonna be in June.

Samsung Galaxy C7 and Galaxy C5 show up as representatives of Samsung’s C series. This new lineup is gonna aim at the mid-range segment. These two phones are considered as brothers when both of them have so much in common. 4GB RAM, 32GB/64GB ROM are some examples.  

Samsung Galaxy C7: big brother of Galaxy C5 ?

Samsung has just presented its new smartphones: the Samsung Galaxy C5 and the Samsung Galaxy C7. Their names sound strange, right? Yup, because this is a whole new brand of Samsung: the Galaxy C series. This mid-range C lineup started with the couple C5 and C7. These two new phones own metallic unibodies. The designs of this couple are half strange half similar. The fronts of the phones still have the usual looks, while the backs have similarities with the HTC One A9. They will come in with different colors: Rose, Rose Gold, Silver, and Grey.

The Samsung Galaxy C7 specs and Samsung Galaxy C5 specs have a lot in common. They both run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow and Snapdragon chipsets. They have the same connectivity and I/O features, same RAM (4GB). Both come with 32GB/64GB internal storage and the ability to expand the inbuilt storage up to 128GB by microSD cards. In terms of camera, you will find a 16MP primary camera with dual-tone LED flash, and 8MP front-facing shooter on both of them. These siblings also have a home button embedded fingerprint sensor on the front.

For the other specs, the C7 seems to be a little better than the C5. The C7 is powered by Snapdragon 625 SoC with octa-core and Adreno 506 GPU. Under the hood of C5 is the Snapdragon 617 octa-core chipset with Adreno 405 GPU. The “brother” C7  features a 5.7 -inch AMOLED full HD display and 3,300mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. While the C5 has a smaller screen with 5.2-inch AMOLED display (1920 x 1080p resolution) and supports 2,600mAh battery life with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0.

The couple C5 and C7 prices and availabilities

The Samsung Galaxy C7 release date hasn’t been announced yet. However, the Samsung Galaxy C5 release date is said to be 6th June. These new phones have just been only launched in China market. So you can pre-order this couple now if you are in China. The Samsung Galaxy C7 price is around $395 (32GB) and $425 (64GB). For the Samsung Galaxy C5 price, it will be $335 (32GB) and about $370 (64GB). Personally, we think these new Samsung smartphone designs are very similar to that of iPhone 6S. What do you think about the look of this couple?

June is coming closer and besides many Chinese smartphones to be launched in the 6th month of the year, there are also many non Chinese handsets to be debuting as well. Check out what they are!

1. BlackBerry Hamburg

BlackBerry is coming back with their second and third Android smartphone, but first of all, we’ve just got some information related to one of them called BlackBerry Hamburg. Speaking specifically, not long ago, the device showed up on GFXBench with some detailed features such as a Snapdragon 615 processor, a 5.2-inch Full HD display, 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory.

As for camera, the main one will be capable of 12 megapixels and the secondary snapper is 8 megapixels. Besides, the whole machine will run on Android 6.0.1 OS out of the box as we expect. However, there’s no more word made for the rest of BlackBerry Hamburg specs. Hopefully we’ll see it or at least gain more info about its hardware and design in June.

If you fall for ASUS Z2 Poseidon – a great 6GB RAM gaming smartphone for this year, you may find the following handsets interesting since they’ve also got many powerful features like the ASUS’s machine. So, check them out now! 

1. ASUS Z1 Titan

Firstly, it is ASUS Z1 Titan, a model designed by Mladen Milic. Design-wise, the device also looks beautiful just like the Poseidon and sports strong hardware as well. Specifically, ASUS Z1 Titan specs are said to include 6GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, a Snapdragon 830 chip and a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED 2K screen. They are definitely top features for smartphones nowadays.

Additionally, it packs Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS, a 3,500mAh battery (though we would prefer a bigger one), and a combo of 16MP rear (with a dual LED flash) plus 5MP front-facing camera. In general, ASUS Z1 Titan is excellent enough to run all kinds of heavy games you want. So, let’s look forward to more information about it in June!

Samsung lovers may wonder why the name of the next phablet is Galaxy Note 7, while the latest device from this product line is Galaxy Note 5. To clarify it, please take a look!

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 – the new campaign of Samsung

What a pity for Galaxy Note 6 as it is completely skipped in the production line. Explaining about Galaxy Note 7, the Korean mobile company insisted on the consistency. To be more specific, Samsung wants all the products released in the same year to share the same number. For example, this year we will see the S7, S7 Edge. If they release a phablet named Galaxy Note 6, it could possibly lead to some confusions, one of which is the thought that Galaxy Note 6 is an older generation than the S7 Edge.

Moreover, via this campaign, Samsung might want to send a hidden message to its biggest rival: Apple. Later this year, Apple will release its two next devices: iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Then it might be a little challenging for Galaxy Note 6 to compete with iPhone 7, as there will be thousands of amateur users who may assume that Galaxy Note 6 is older than iPhone 7. That is why the announcement of Galaxy Note 7 will be an important step of Samsung on occupying the mobile phone market segment.

About Samsung Galaxy Note 7 specs, according to many sources, the phablet will offer the most high-end features ever, compared to its siblings. Galaxy Note 7 will be backed up by Snapdragon Qualcomm octa-core 2.9 GHz processor, 5GB of RAM. Note 7 will also come with 4600 mAh battery, equipped with wireless charging technology. Besides, the rear camera is reported to be a 30 MP one with the most innovative functions, along with a 9 MP selfie shooter. About the display, Galaxy Note 7 will offer a 6-inch 4k resolution screen.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Price and Release date

With such incredible specs, Galaxy Note 7 will for sure come with a very luxurious price. Rumour has it that Galaxy Note 7 price will be around 800$ for the 64GB version and 1400$ for the 128GB version. About Galaxy Note 7 release date, it is expected to be in the 2nd week of August this year. So you had better save up money from now on if you want to own this device. (Source)

Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro will be launched soon later this year and Nokia C1 is expected to come at the same time as well. In the 4GB battle between Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro vs Nokia C1, you think which one is the winner? 

Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro vs Nokia C1. Who will be the future winner?

Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro comes in two variants but today we only talk about the 4GB. The phone comes with a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED and 1080 x 1920p resolution. Besides 4GB of RAM, other Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro specs contain a QSD 820 processor and 64GB of ROM. As for Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro camera, the device packs a 13 MP on the rear, equipped with phase detection, autofocus and dual-LED. On the front, there is an 8MP selfies camera. In addition, Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro sports a 3000 batt paired with a Quick Charge 3.0, which can charge 83% of battery life in 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, the Android Nokia-Nokia C1 is said to come with a 5.5-inch full HD display. Like Zuk Z2 Pro, Nokia C1 is also powerful by 4GB RAM. More than that, Nokia C1 is said to have specs like 64GB of ROM and 64bit processor. Especially, Nokia C1 can run both Window and Android OS, probably Android 6.0. Nokia C1 camera is really good with 20MP Pureview on the rear and 8MP on the front. As you know, Nokia is famous with the best long-lasting and high-quality battery, so we predict that Nokia C1 battery will pack at least 4000 batt.

In “Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro vs Nokia C1” comparison , the Nokia Android phone seems to be better thank to its battery and camera. Nokia C1 comes with a 4000 mAh batt, a 20MP rear camera+ an 8MP front camera while Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro packs 3000 mAh batt, a 16MP rear camera+ an 8MP front camera. However, Nokia has been absent for a long time and this is also the first time Nokia produces Android phone. So, we are not sure that Nokia C1 can give the best performance like what we expect.

Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro vs Nokia C1 in Price comparison

As we know, the price of Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro (4GB) has not been confirmed yet, but we predict it will have a price around $300. Meanwhile, Nokia C1 is expected to be around $200-250, cheaper than its rival. So, in this battle, we think Nokia C1 is a bit better than Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro. What about your opinion?

Lenovo Moto Z launch will be on 9th June. According to some rumors, Lenovo decided to give up on this X lineup. The Z series will replace this position.

Lenovo Moto Z instead of Moto X

Last week, we heard the rumor about Motorola’s X lineup. Lenovo would rebrand the Moto X lineup and change it into Moto Z series. Recently, a trademark filing of Moto Z has been showed up online. This is considered as a confirmation of the retirement of the X lineup. The trademark Moto Z will be used for smartphones, accessories (adapters and battery charges). So, at Lenovo’s upcoming Tech World conference this summer, we might not see the Moto X 2016. Instead of that, we’re gonna see the appearance of the Z series- the Moto Z.

Rumor has it that Lenovo will present 2 smartphones in this Z lineup: Moto Z Style and Moto Z Play. These new phones will show up with a metallic unibody with a circular camera module on the back. Let’s talk about the Moto Z specs. The Z Play will have a Snapdragon 625 chipset and 13MP rear cam. It features a 5.5-inch Full HD display with a 2600mAh battery. There will be 2GB/16GB and 3GB/32GB. The high-end version Z Style will sport a 5.5-inch QHD and Snapdragon 820 chipset. The phone might have 3/4GB RAM with 32GB ROM. It will have a 16MP rear shooter and a 3500mAh battery.

The Lenovo Moto Z will come with an attachable backplate with additional functionality. That means that you can add some accessories on this backplate. Those accessories are called MotoMods. They will include a battery pack, a camera grip, a pico projector, and stereo speakers. Some of them are gonna be attached to the phone. Some will be sold separately.

Lenovo Moto Z price

The Moto Z Style and the Moto Z Play are named as same as the two smartphones in the X series. This makes people believe more that the Moto Z will take over the Moto X. We’re gonna witness the new line of Lenovo soon in San Francisco. The Lenovo Moto Z release date is on 9th June. With those specs, we’re expecting that the Lenovo Moto Z price is gonna be in a range from $270 to $350.

Would you like a new Android phablet to be powerful by 4GB of RAM, 6.0-inch FullHD screen, 4000mAH, … ? Especially, the device was produced by Finland giant-Nokia, probably in later this year. More than that, the new Nokia phablet 2016 is said to run Android 6.o and get a stylish design.

Nokia phablet 2016 specs and design

Return to 2013, Nokia launched their phablet name Nokia Lumia 1525 but it seems to be not successful. Nonetheless, as the recent reports, Nokia are preparing for their new devices, including a new phablet. Until now, we don’t know what will this Nokia device call? However, many people believe that the famous concept named Nokia Swan will be the new Nokia phablet. We are not sure about that information, but some reliable sources point that the new phablet from Nokia will run Android OS, probably OS version 6.0

As many reliable reports, the new Nokia phablet model may come with FullHD screen (1920 x 1080p resolution). Especially, a cool aluminum frame and slim body could make this device look stylish and stand out. In terms of Nokia phablet 2016 specs, it is said to sport a 4GB RAM pair with 128 GB of internal storage and a quad-core CPU, expected to come from Intel. If you consider about Nokia phablet 2016 camera, you get 42MP high-quality camera.

The Nokia phablet screen packs 5.5-inch which can rotate around the hinge. The device will become an 11-inch tablet when transformed.

Nokia phablet price and availability

At the present, there aren’t further information of the new Nokia phablet price as well as its release date.
