From single core processors to dual & multi-core processors, from single SIM to dual SIM, smartphone has come a long way to step up to the advance level of technology. And it even make one step closer by advancing the camera feature from single camera to dual camera. Here is our objective opinion about top 9 smartphones with dual camera.

1. Honor V8

The Honor V8 has 2 versions: the 4GB RAM – 32GB storage model with 5.7-inch full-HD and the 4GB RAM strorage model with 5.7 inches Quad HD. The V8 sports an Octa-core Kirin 950 SoC coupled with Mali T880 GPU, it runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow system with Huawei’s EMUI 4.1. V8 is capable of 3,500 mAh battery, come along with fast charging.

The Huawei Honor V8 features a dual rear camera with 12MP on each one. Both cameras have dual-tone LED flash, laser autofocus, BSI sensor, and 6-element lenses with f/2.2 aperture. On the front, we have a 8-megapixel front facing camera with f/2.4 aperture. With the 4GB-32GB version, the Honor V8 price is $350. And the price for the top-end version 4GB-64GB is $439.

An 18.4-inch Lenovo tablet is about to be presented soon! And you know what, it is very likely to surpass many other tablets like the 18.4″ FHD Samsung Galaxy View and 17.3″ FHD Alcatel Xess in a display battle because…

An 18.4-inch Lenovo tablet with Quad HD resolution

At the moment, when talking about tablet, we think of not only 7-inch devices or so, but also huge machines which can even replace PCs. For example, we’ve already had 18.4-inch FHD Galaxy View from Samsung and 17.3-inch FHD Xess from Alcatel so far. And now, maybe it’s time for Lenovo to join the “huge” game and in fact, a Lenovo model coded as PB2-690N and equipped with an up to 18.4-inch screen has just showed up on GFX benchmark recently.

Apparently, it will have an 18.4-inch 2K display, a Snapdragon 652 octa-core processor (Cortex-A72), 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Well, those are already pretty good features for a tablet, and additionally, the device will run on Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS as well, which means it may sport split screen mode like the Yoga tablet. In terms of camera, the rear one will be capable of 8 megapixels and the front snapper will be 0.3 megapixels.

If we make a quick comparison, the new Lenovo machine is obviously better than the Galaxy View since it only packs Full HD res, a 2.1MP selfie shooter, and no primary cam. Though, we cannot say that this Lenovo’s product is the best, biggest tablet in the market because last year, there was a Windows 10 tablet called YOGA Home 900 launched with a 27-inch 1080p display, 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM, able to surprise the world.

Lenovo 18.4-inch tablet: Price and availability

Despite appearing on the internet, there has been no word made for the tablet’s price as well as release date. Yet, we predict that the day is near, perhaps in this quarter or in the Q3 of 2016. And in case of costing around $450, it’s gonna be a great deal. Do you agree? Share with us your opinions!

Xiaomi Mi Max has just been launched and now we would like to take it into a comparison with the current famous Lenovo smartphone – Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro. Let’s see which one is the better 4GB RAM handset this month!

Xiaomi Mi Max vs Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro: Spec comparison

As we know, Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro is the first 6GB RAM device of the company. However, today, we will be only looking at its 4GB RAM variant in order to make it a fair comparison. So, first of all, talking about design, both Max and Pro are beautiful, stylish and premium with sleek metal unibodies, so we do not worry much about their appearances. As a result, we would like to dig deeper into the machines’ hardware to figure out the stronger one.

Differences will make it easier to choose the winner. Though, before coming to that part, let’s check their similarities together. Obviously, they are run by 4GB RAM, Android Marshmallow OS (although the ZUK Z2 Pro is a bit more modern with Android 6.0.1 version while the Mi Max’s only got Android 6.0), a dual SIM, Full HD display resolution, a fingerprint scanner, and Quick Charge 3.0 technology (83% in 30 minutes). In general, those are pretty good features for a smartphone to do tasks users want. Anyway, to pick out the better, we have to find their key different specifications.

Speaking specifically, no doubt the new Xiaomi’s product is bigger due to sporting a 6.44-inch IPS LCD screen while the Lenovo phone has a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED one. Moreover, the Max even packs up to 128GB ROM (expandable up to 200GB), a 16MP rear shooter, and a massive 4,850mAh battery. So… “max”, huh?! Therefore, if you’re seeking an excellent huge phablet, Xiaomi Mi Max can be a great option. Nonetheless, the smaller display with the same FHD resolution has helped the Z2 Pro get higher ppi – 424ppi, which means everything shown on its screen is cooler. Furthermore, Lenovo ZUK Z2 specs include a Snapdragon 820 (dual-core 2.15GHz + dual-core 1.6GHz) chip, an 8MP secondary camera and a USB Type-C port, making it definitely more powerful than the Mi Max’s SD650/652 (quad-core 1.4GHz + dual-core 1.8GHz) processor plus a 5MP front snapper. Well, it seems like Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro will be a fantastic choice for those who love selfies and strong devices to do heavy stuff.

Xiaomi Mi Max vs Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro: Price and availability

Xiaomi Mi Max will be available for sale in China from May 17, 2016. Its 128GB ROM + 4GB RAM version cost 1,999 Yuan (or about $306). Meanwhile, Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro price for the 4GB RAM ver has not been confirmed yet, but surely it will be less than $415 (which is the price of the 6GB Z2 Pro). Overall, it looks like Xiaomi Mi Max price and specs are a batter combination. What do you think? Tell us about your hero!
