January’s end is approaching. So, let’s check out what smartphones have been launched this month! They are all from big brands with beautiful designs and excellent packages of specifications…

1. Xiaomi: Redmi 3 and Redmi Note 3

Right at the beginning of 2016, Xiaomi has impressed people with powerful, budget handsets Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and then Xiaomi Redmi 3. As you know, the company has changed their design strategy by equipped both devices with all-alloy bodies and the Redmi Note 3’s even got a fingerprint scanner on the back. They are drawing a lot of consumers’ attention not only because of the attractive appearances but also because of their great hardware, especially the massive batteries: Redmi Note 3 with 4,000mAh batt and Redmi 3 with 4,100mAh one. For more information about them, please click here!

The second month of 2016 is coming to an end. We have created a list of the best 4GB RAM smartphones for you.  You can check the 6 Best 4GB RAM Mobiles out to see which is best this february!

1. LG G5 Design

It’s been a long time since we had an LG smartphone that got as much attention as this upcoming LG G5 smartphone with 4GB RAM and a premium all alloy body. LG G5 is actually predicted to become one of the best smartphone designs of all 2016. Besides that, other LG G5 specs are very nice too: a removable battery (we surely miss that), 5.6 inch display, 64GB ROM (expandable to 200GB) .

In the camera department, the LG G5 comes with a 20MP Rear Camera and 8MP Selfie camera duo. Probably the LG G5 Price is going to be very similar to the LG G4 Pricing, as we know it from LG mobile phones. If you can afford this price, the LG G5 is definitely a good choice.

Recently, many 2016 flagships smartphones have been revealed such as Samsung Galaxy S7, LG G5, HTC One M10 and Xiaomi Mi5. How about Sony? Here is your answer: Sony Xperia Z6 has showed up!

Sony Xperia Z6: Will it be more successful than Xperia Z5?

Of course in the flagship map this year cannot lack Sony. However, while others have been leaked a lot on the internet for a long time, Sony seems to still keep their warrior, which is highly predicted to be Sony Xperia Z6, secret. Fortunately, now we know for sure it will be Xperia Z6 since not long ago, some of its specifications appeared on a Japanese website.

Accordingly, Sony Xperia Z6 specs will contain a 5.2-inch Quad HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chip paired with Adreno 530 GPU, and 4GB LPDDR4 RAM. Actually, we are not very surprised with those features as they are top high-end ones and supposed to be included in a flagship smartphone. Besides, it will also be certified with IP68 rating for being dust proof and water resistant over 1.5 meters and 30 minutes.

In terms of its photography capability, the Xperia Z6 will be likely to sport a 23MP f/2.0 rear camera and a 5.1MP front-facing shooter, not very different from the Xperia Z5 last year. Though, it is sure that you will have great experience with Android 6.0 Marshmallow running on the machine. Well, there are still some unknown specs such as battery, ROM capacity, etc. that we should wait for the firm’s announcement.

Sony Xperia Z6 price and availability

With what has been leaked about Sony Xperia Z6, we bet it can become a powerful competitor in the premium device war. Nonetheless, it also means that Z6 may cost much, perhaps around $730 or above. Do you think it will be worth? Share with us your opinions and feelings!

Lenovo seems to be focusing on their budget smartphone strategy this year as after releasing Lenovo Vibe K4 Note, they soon introduced Lenovo K5 Note. So, check out how Lenovo K Note handsets have developed from K3 to K5… 

Lenovo K3 Note VS K4 Note VS K5 Note: Designs and specifications are all improved…

Design-wise, three of them look not the same at all. Lenovo K3 Note comes with a plastic back while both K4 and K5 are built with all-metal unibodies. However, you can easily notice that Lenovo Vibe K4 Note design is affected much by Motorola style, but Lenovo K5 Note appears very similar to many Chinese smartphones nowadays such as products of LeTV, Xiaomi, ZTE, etc. Though, we have to say that Lenovo machines in 2016 have been more beautiful than before. Do you agree?

That is what we want to talk about the phones’ appearances. Now, we are moving on to their specifications. In general, Lenovo K3 Note, K4 Note and K5 Note are mid-range phablets with strong hardware compared to their price tags. Then, let’s take a look at the following table to see if they have many similarities and differences:

So, Lenovo K5 Note is the firm’s latest device and obviously, it has some more advanced and powerful features such as Helio P10 octa-core 1.8GHz chip, 3,500mAh battery, and 8MP secondary snapper. However, in terms of RAM capacity, K4 Note is the best with 3GB RAM, which also makes us wonder why they did not retain the same 3GB RAM for the K5 Note. Perhaps 2GB is enough for smooth performances and users can enjoy taking gorgeous selfies while the handset can last long.

Lenovo K3 Note VS K4 Note VS K5 Note: Price and availability

When firstly introduced, Lenovo K3 Note cost 899 Yuan or $136, yet at the moment, the price has been cut down a bit. As for Lenovo Vibe K4 Note price, it debuted in India first with Rs. 11,999 or $176. Finally, Lenovo K5 Note price is around $167 in China and will be sold through flash sale model starting this week. Overall, the K3 is the cheapest here, but if you seek a more enhanced model and the cost is still affordable, K4 and K5 are definitely better.

Smartphones we know for now are developing in an extraordinary speed. Have you ever wondered what trends will be booming in the smartphone industry this 2016? We have spotted 5 signs predicting that more and more battery beasts are just coming on their way throughout the year

1. The release of many battery flagships

The first month of 2016 has yet to come to an end but we already got to know the release and debut of many flagships with better and better battery capacities compared to their previous generations. With LG G5, Samsung Galaxy S7, Sony Xperia Z6 also claiming an improvement in terms of battery, it would not be too much to say smartphone producers are considering this feature more and more of an importance.

2. Recent budget phones getting massive battery on board

Not only flagships are getting huge battery capacities but budget phones are also coming with decent “internal power banks” too. Are you familiar with Oukitel K4000 Pro with 4,600 mAH, Ulefone Power with 6,200 mAH, Asus Zenfone Max with 5,000 mAH batteries. And none of them cost more than a USD 200 or maximum USD 250 price tag

3. Nokia’s CEO saying about “smartphone battery”

When we say “battery beasts”, we don’t just mean smartphones with big battery in terms of capacity. Recently, at World Internet Conference closing ceremony, Nokia CEO Rajiv said that  “In the present, because one of the very significant problems of smartphone is the battery, you need to solve the battery problem, let it be over 10 years of life”. This implies either the Finnish legend or some other smartphone producers are working on developing longer and longer lasting smartphone battery.

4. First steps about self-charging tech for battery

Although there is still a long way to go, we did got great news from MIT University: a group of researchers at the university are working on self-charging battery, which, in order words, means, an unlimited battery life. When there research turns out successful, we can produce electrical energy not by using another source of power but by creating mechanical energy through movements like jogging. Yes, to make it very brief and simple: let’s start counting down to the day when we can jog to charge our smartphone battery.

5. First smartphone with 10,000 mAH already launched

A smartphone is called a battery beast when it has a 4,000 mAH capacity. And ever since, we have known those with 5,000 or even 6,000 mAH. However, a smartphone with 10,000 mAH battery, as big as a power bank came out as a surprise to many of us. And that phone was launched in late 2015: Say hello to Oukitel K10000 smartphone. And as usual, when a new year comes, a good tradition will be continued and developed. That explains why we can totally expect more smartphones launching with 10,000 mAH or bigger capacity

In 2016 we will see an explosion of 4GB RAM smartphones. We want to introduce you the 6 BEST 4GB RAM Smartphones to buy in february. Check them out to see which 4GB RAM Smartphone is the best to buy in February!

1. SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE PLUS Design

No doubt this is a special samsung smartphone of the Korean giant in terms of appearance and hardware. Specifically speaking, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ specs sport a strong Exynos 7420 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and 32/64GB of non-expandable internal storage. Besides, there are a decent 3,000mAh battery, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS, and a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED Quad HD display on board to run the phone.

About the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Mobile photography capability, you may feel satisfied with its 16MP rear and 5MP front-facing camera. As always Samsung smartphones are highly capable and definitely in the TOP 3 of all smartphones for their quality and functions. Overall if you can afford the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge price, we think you will not be disappointed with this smartphone.

Lenovo will officially launch  the Lenovo K5 Note smartphone on the way very soon. Lenovo is really focusing on high specs smartphones with affordable prices this year with the Lenovo K5 Note featuring…

Lenovo K5 Note: Winner of Design

Our first impression about Lenovo K5 Specs  is that the smartphone features an all metal body and still carry a mid-range price tag. And Lenovo also give this latest generation a brand new chip set compared to its predecessor. While Lenovo K4 Note goes with a MediaTek MT6753 processor, the Lenovo K5 Note is powered by Helio P10 chip set. Although Helio P10 is not as premium as Helio X10 or X20 for higher end smartphones, it is already very powerful considering that Lenovo K5 Note is a budget smartphone.

Together with Helio P10 chip set, the Lenovo K5 Note specs include a 64 bit processor and 2GB of RAM to boost performance. Other Lenovo K5 Note specs are 5.5 inch display, 16GB internal storage which can be expandable, 13MP / 8MP camera duo and a decent 3,500 mAH . Though in 2016, we are already familiar with Android6.0 Marshmallow, this K5 Note smartphone will still be running on Android 5.1 Lollipop with Vibe UI on top. Overall a great smartphone from Lenovo Mobiles!

With a slim body measuring 8.49 mm in thickness, the Lenovo K5 Note is a 4G LTE competent smartphone. It also supports dual SIM and comes with a fingerprint sensor on the back. Just like its predecessor Lenovo K3 Note, the K5 has a 1.5W speaker on the rear with Dolby Atmos sounding effect

Lenovo K5 Note price : Very affordable!

Lenovo will sell the K5 Note in China first a couple of days from now. The Lenovo K5 Note price in their home country will be 167 USD only. We are expecting an early release of the smartphone to other Asian and international markets, ideally before MWC 2016. Overall the Lenovo k5 Note comes with a great price! What do you think about the Lenovo K5 Note? Share with us! 

Many flagship smartphones are going to debut in early 2016, with the coming up of the MWC Smartphone conference. But what are they exactly? Check out the most anticipated ones below from Xiaomi, Lenovo and Samsung and their release dates…. 

1. Xiaomi Mi5 – February 24

In the next month, it is pretty sure that we will be welcoming the next Xiaomi flagship handset – Xiaomi Mi5 at the MWC in Barcelone and at the same time in Shanghai. Lately, Xiaomi’s Senior VP Wanqiang Li has posted on Weibo, announcing that the company’s Spring conference is going to occur on February 24, 2016. That is why a lot of people assume Xiaomi Mi5 will finally show up or get revealed. The Xiaomi Mi5 specs sport a 5.2-inch Quad HD screen, a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 16MP main camera, an 8MP secondary snapper and a 3,600mAh cell.

Furthermore, Xiaomi Mi5 is said to be able to defeat other flagships thanks to its super affordable price, compared to the hardware. Hopefully we can expect a price of under 400 USD. After waiting 1.5 years for the successor of the Xiaomi Mi4, the price better be good. In latest news it seems also like Xiaomi Mobiles made a deal with Microsoft again, so most likely we will see a Windows 10 Version of the Xiaomi Mi5 Flagship as well. What do you think about the Xiaomi Mi5?

Samsung Galaxy J7 is going to be the next member of the company’s J series to get launched this year. It seems like Samsung will try their best to promote many J products in 2016…

Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 showed up on GFXBench with specific features

Last year, we saw many Samsung Galaxy J handsets go on sale and receive much positive feedback from consumers. It can be understood easily as they belong to mid-range smartphone category, coming with affordable prices and good-enough performances. Perhaps, that is why Samsung has decided to continue producing new J machines as well as remake what has been introduced in 2015. And Samsung Galaxy J7 is one of them.

After Samsung Galaxy J1 officially debuted in Dubai and Samsung Galaxy J5 specs appeared on GFXBench not long ago, we guess it is the Samsung Galaxy J7’s turn to show what it’s got. Lately, like the J5, J7 showed up on GFXBench benchmark listing with some key specifications, including a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a Snapdragon 615 chip paired with Adreno 405 GPU, and 3GB of RAM plus 16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB, according to other sources).

The whole device will be powered by Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS and maybe a 3,000mAh battery (though, it’s not been confirmed yet). As for camera, the main one is capable of 13 megapixels and the front-facing snapper is 5 megapixels. Well, there are still some Samsung Galaxy J7 specs untold for now, but hopefully more will come in the next days.

Samsung Galaxy J7 price and availability

Accordingly, the Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) release date will be in February 2016, along with the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016), at the Samsung Forum held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Because of sporting some more advanced features such as 3GB RAM and display resolution compared to the 2015 version, Galaxy J7 (2016) price may range from $250 to $330. What do you think?

Apple iPhone 5se is coming with a 4-inch screen. Despite being smaller than its current siblings, the iPhone 5se still looks awesome. Check out what it’s got on the inside…

Apple iPhone 5se – An excellent, friendly mini version for 2016

This is not the first time we’ve heard about the comeback of Apple’s 4-inch iPhone. However, now it may be official to be called Apple iPhone 5se. Well, honestly, the name does not seem very attractive, right?! However, it must have some meanings. According to many news sources, the iPhone 5se will be a new variant of Apple iPhone 5s, launched in September 2013, but of course equipped with more advanced features.

From what has been leaked about the iPhone 5se these days, Apple iPhone 5se specs will be likely to contain an A8 chipset paired with M8 motion co-processor, which is used for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, a combo of 8MP rear and 1.2MP front-facing camera, and Live Photos feature that can record a 1.5-second video before and after the shutter is snapped to create a GIF-like video. Isn’t it cool?

As we can see, iPhone 5se will borrow some amazing specifications of the iPhone 6 and 6s, but not including 3D Touch capability. So, at the moment, there is not much detailed information about the upcoming 4-inch iPhone, yet we bet it can become a great, friendly mini version to your hand and pocket.

Apple iPhone 5se price and availability

Apple is said to hold an event in March 2016 to unveil their iPhone 5se, but there has been no word made for the price yet. Though, if you ask, we predict that the handset can cost around $450 or vary depending on the ROM capacity. What do you think? Is it a good tag for iPhone 5se?

Samsung Galaxy S7 VS LG G5 are 2 of the most talked-about flagships of January 2016. Both feature powerful 4GB RAM, but when put under a comparison, they shine on their own ways with some interesting differences

Samsung Galaxy S7 VS LG G5: top 4GB RAM flagships of 2016

Samsung Galaxy S7 VS LG G5, one from the inspiring Korean company, the other from the reputed Japanese producer, both got their first debut in January 2016. However, with all the features they are known to carry now, these beasts have all it takes to work through the year and still stand out from others. It is because they don’t just have a strong RAM and processor, but also sport good camera, decent battery and attractive designs.

Samsung Galaxy S7 specs include a 5.7 inch display, 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage which is expandable. Opposite to what many people think, Samsung Galaxy S7 will have a downgraded camera compare to the previous generation. The smartphone will feature 12MP rear camera but with a new technology – BRITCELL – to help improve image quality when taken under low light conditions.

LG G5 specs are very preferable too. The smartphone has a 5.6 inch display with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM that can be expandable up to 200GB and a Snapdragon 820 processor. One special thing about the phone is that, going against what many recent flagships are doing, LG G5 will bring back removable battery to our market. It surely gives you a lot of advantages when you can easily exchange your battery cell. LG G5 design also looks really premium and classy too.

Samsung Galaxy S7 VS LG G5: best beasts of their kinds

Both smartphones will be pre-installed with latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Both smartphones will have a strong 4GB of RAM and one of the most powerful processors available of the time being. These features, together with signature and classy designs are surely the selling points that make Samsung Galaxy S7 VS LG G5 the best flagships of their own kinds.

ASUS ZenFone 3 and Nokia E1 are going to be two awesome budget smartphones this year with super cool specs for surprisingly affordable price tags. As a result, we now put the Nokia E1 phone and Asus Zenfone 3 mobile in comparison…

ASUS ZenFone 3 VS Nokia E1: Best budget Smartphones of 2016 

Though they have not been launched yet, both Nokia E1 and ASUS ZenFone 3 are drawing a lot of people’s attention for what they’ve got in spite of their affordable prices. Nokia E1 has been said to come with a handy 4.9-inch Full HD display, 2GB of RAM, Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS and more amazingly, a 20MP Pureview rear camera! Meanwhile, not long ago, ASUS ZenFone 3 was spotted on GFXBench with 2 model IDs: Z010DD and Z012D, which are all bigger than the E1.

Speaking specifically, the Z012D will feature a 5.5-inch FHD screen, 3GB RAM paired with 32GB of internal storage, Android 6.0 OS, and a Snapdragon 650 processor. Though there is no word made for the Z012D’s shooters, we’re pretty sure that a 13MP/5MP cam duo will probably be on board. As for the Z010DD, it is likely to sport an up to 5.9-inch HD screen, Android 6.0 OS, 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM, a Snapdragon 615 chip and a combo of 13MP/5MP camera.

Overall, obviously ASUS ZenFone 3 specs are better than Nokia E1 specs. Yet, when it comes to really choosing the final winner, we cannot tell exactly as both of them are from top brands in our market nowadays. Nokia E1 will sell extremely well due to being remarkably beautiful and one of the first Nokia Android devices in their comeback 2016. ASUS ZenFone 3, on the other hand, will make people remember it as a great budget, powerful machine.

ASUS ZenFone 3 VS Nokia E1: Super affordable prices!

So, in order to help you pick out the champion more easily, we would like to provide you with Nokia E1 price and ASUS ZenFone 3 price to compare. Accordingly, the E1 will be priced at around $250 while the Zen 3 is also expected to cost no more than $250. Well, what do you think? Nokia E1 or ASUS ZenFone 3?
