We’re waiting for 2016 to see what Sony will do to prove their flagship Sony Xperia Z6 smartphone is the best. Of course, design is one of the main factors contributing to its success. So, check out the following one to see if the Xperia Z6 is beautiful enough to blow you away…

Sony Xperia Z6 design: Gorgeous !?

Needless to say, Sony has to change more in 2016 if they want to stand out among a lot of smartphone manufacturers at the moment. One of the main factors that can help them do it is phone design. And as their next flagship Sony Xperia Z6 is expected to come in 2016, we hope to see a wonderful handset like the one designed by Babak Soren above. If so, consumers will have nothing to complain about Sony.

Looking at the pictures, we recognize the Xperia Z6 frame is still made of metal but the screen is big with super slim bezels. There is no physical home button on the front surface as usual, and it it pretty sure that Sony will place a fingerprint sensor on one side of the machine, like what they did to Sony Xperia Z5 and its variants. A dual speaker also appears but it is organized very cleverly. In general, we think this model brings a premium feeling and won’t let you down when coming to life.

In terms of Sony Xperia Z6 specs, it is said to sport a Snapdragon 820 chip, 4GB RAM, a Quad HD screen and a 23MP rear camera to be basic. Then, it’ll become the best flagship smartphone Sony has ever produced. However, for more correct information about the Z6’s hardware, we should wait a bit more for the company’s official confirmation.

Sony Xperia Z6 price and availability

Many news sources claimed that Sony Xperia Z6 launch would occur in early 2016, yet the specific Sony Xperia Z6 release date is still a secret. As for the Sony Xperia Z6 price, since this is a high-end device, so we guess the cost will be around $700. What are your opinions? Share with us by commenting in the following box!

Smartphones in our market come with different price range. Some are budget phones for under USD 300. Some are more expensive smartphones that are not friendly to many pockets. However, there are 5 absolute advantages you can have when buying one

1. You have a guarantee for quality

When a smartphone is sold with a rather expensive price, it usually comes with a famous brand name. And buying a branded smartphone means buying their commitment and guarantee for high quality of the machine. Every bit and tiny part of the high-end handset are taken care decently

2. You can enjoy good customer service

Paying a huge amount of money one a mobile device means, most of the time, having the privilege of a good package of accessories as well as customer service. And let’s say, even the accessories (earphones, charges, microSD card etc.) coming together expensive phones are much much better those of cheaper mobiles

3. Better and smoother general performance

Budget smartphones can feature very high specs for a much cheaper price than expensive smartphone of the same category. However, the reason why many still go for high-end devices are their general performances. A 3GB RAM smartphone that costs you $500 will definitely work faster and stronger than a 3GB RAM phone that costs only USD 200.

4. Classy and signature design is in your hand

Metal body, unique design, slim rear, a gorgeous display screen, high resolution, premium casing. You name it, higher-end smartphones usually have it all. This is also the reason why many Chinese smartphones try to copy designs from bigger brands. They may look similar, but as you take a closer observation, the difference is quite significant

5. You don’t need to change your phone too often

Unless you are addicted to new trend. You don’t need to buy a new phone too often just because your mobile “suddenly dies”. This can be a good investment for many users, who like to stick to one same old familiar good smartphone for a long time.

We are about to welcome 2016 in just a few days. This also mean the big moment of Nokia comeback will be arriving soon. To help you get excited, here are some of the best Nokia smartphones to expect…

1. Nokia E1 – Design Winner

I don’t think we need to talk much about Nokia E1 anymore, this beast is already too famous among Nokia fans. Nokia E1, with 2GB RAM and 20MP Pureview camera, is predicted to be produced when Nokia comes back in 2016. What makes us excited is that, the Nokia E1 phone is said to cost a very affordable money, as around an only USD 200 – 250 price tag.

2015 is coming to an end. As we are welcoming the new year, let’s together take a look at some of the most significant flagship smartphones launched throughout this year.

1. Huawei Mate 8

Huawei Mate 8 was launched in Q4 2015 with all of the best specs we can ask for. The smartphone has a huge 6-inch display, 4GB RAM together with powerful Kirin 950 chip set. Huawei Mate 8 cameras are 16MP and 8MP sensors. Most interestingly, the phone has a whooping 4,000 mAH battery that can be fully charged in just half and hour.

LG V10 and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 are produced by two of the giant Korean smartphone manufacturers. But, let’s see how it can compete with each other and which one will win…

LG V10 VS Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Best Korean beast phone battle ever

Design-wise, we think it is hard to make a comparison since they are all beautiful in their own ways, receiving much positive feedback from consumers. So, we guess comparing their hardware will make more sense. In general, both devices sport many current top features and no matter which phone will lose to the other in this battle, we cannot deny they are super strong among a lot of handsets on the market. Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s look at their specifications now!

First of all, we would like to show you some similarities between V10 and Note 5. They have the same screen size: 5.7 inches with 2K resolution. We bet you will have great moment when experiencing their displaying capability. Besides, each of them packs a nano SIM, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS, 4GB RAM, a fingerprint scanner, a 3,000mAh battery and a combo of 13MP and 5MP camera. Wow, they really have a lot in common, right?! So, what are the differences to tell them apart?

Just by looking at the machines, it is easily to recognize that LG V10 owns a dual screen and a dual front camera while Samsung Galaxy Note 5 appears as an ordinary smartphone. So, the secondary display of LG V10 measures 2.1 inches to pop up notifications, etc. The dual selfie shooter offers angle of view, which is perfect for group selfies! Yes, Note 5 does not have those things, but it also has what LG V10 does not have: S Pen stylus to perform tasks in a more easy and interesting way.

LG V10 VS Samsung Galaxy Note 5: Differences in terms of specs

As for the inside, they use different processors: LG V10 – Snapdragon 808 and Note 5 – Exynos 7420. Nonetheless, the chips are quite equal in terms of power. Last but not least, we have to mention the microSD card slot. Though the LG V10 just comes with only one 64GB ROM version, the internal storage can be expanded up to 200GB. Meanwhile, the Note 5 has more choices 32/64/128GB ROM, yet it does not contain a microSD card. Well, each handset has their own special features, which even makes it harder for us to pick out the winner. Can you help us?

Powerful 4GB RAM phones are becoming more popular now and here are the 5 amazing ones you should be waiting for cause’s they’re on the way!

1. LG G5

According to many leaks these days, the flagship LG G5 launch will occur in late February 2016. It is said that the G5 will have many changes in design and specifications compared to its predecessor LG G4. Specially, the phone will come with an all-alloy unibody instead of plastic, and a dual camera. Furthermore, other LG G5 specs are likely to include a fingerprint sensor, a USB Type-C port, quick charging tech which enables it to be used in one day after just 1 hour charge, and a 5.6-inch 2K screen. Besides, the whole machine will probably be powered by a Snapdragon 820 chip, 3GB RAM, a dual rear camera (16MP and 8MP) and an 8MP front-facing one.

The new Xiaomi Mi5 smartphone will have a fingerprint sensor, but will it be placed on the back like Xiaomi Redmi Note 3? We are very short before the official Xiaomi Mi5 Launch and now you can check out our Xiaomi Mi5 Video ….

Amazing Xiaomi Mi5 specs and design: Winner of Design!

After releasing the super great Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with powerful hardware and a very affordable price, Xiaomi is attracting a lot of people. Moreover, they believe the company’s next flagship Xiaomi Mi5 will also follow the same strategy: strong specifications and good prices. This time, maybe we can really see it as some reliable sources have claimed that Xiaomi Mi5 launch is going to occur on 21 January 2016. Just a few days left!

Lately, we have spotted some pictures as well as a video showing a real Xiaomi Mi5 on Youku (which is considered as “Chinese YouTube”). Accordingly, Xiaomi Mi5 design isn’t changed much, still coming with physical buttons whose positions are similar to Xiaomi Mi Note or Mi Note Pro. However, we have to mention its all-alloy unibody and physical home button, which looks pretty awesome in our opinion. Besides, you have 4 choices over the color: white, black, yellow and pink.

Basically, Home button usually carries a fingerprint sensor. Therefore, we are quite sure that Xiaomi will do the same and furthermore, they are likely to equip the Mi5 with ClearForce display tech, “providing customers with new dimensions in user interfaces such as speed scrolling, zoom, gaming, and text or photo editing by applying variable force with a finger or stylus.”

Xiaomi Mi5 price and availability

So, how much does a smartphone owning a 5.3-inch 2K screen, a Snapdragon 820 chip, 4GB RAM, a 16MP/8MP camera set, Android 6.0 OS and a 3,000mAh  as Xiaomi Mi5 cost? We hope the Xiaomi Mi5 Price will go with 2499 Yuan ($385) like what has been saying these days. Nonetheless, we have to wait for the firm’s confirmation. So what do you think about the Xiaomi Mi5? Watch the Video below!

Battery beasts are becoming more and more attractive to many users thanks to the advantages they bring.

Ulefone Power: battery beast for a surprisingly affordable price

Ulefone Power, with 6,050 mAH battery and 13MP camera sensor, both provided by Sony, is such an ideal choice for any smartphone lover. Especially when it only costs a humble $209 price tag, which is surprisingly affordable compared to all the cool features it has. Are you up to a smartphone that goes 4 days without charging?

Specifically, there will be 3.3 million Galaxy S7 handsets and 1.6 million S7 edge ones.

However, it is important to note that the flagships will not be completely new  models.

Spec-wise, many consumers are looking forward to a touch sensitive display built on both the Galaxy S7 and the Galaxy S7 edge.

Regarding the Samsung Galaxy S7 release date, some rumors mentioned that the S7 phones would be launched at the CES conference held in January 2016 while others said it would be at the MWC in February 2016. But now, China Mobile has raised their voice to announce Samsung will present the duo in March 2016. So, let’s wait and see!

Apart from the above info, we also spotted other things related to the S7’s screen size. Looking at the pic, the device’s dimensions can be 70.5 x 143 mm, similar to the S6 but with a bigger display, much likely to be 5.2 inches. As for the S7 Edge, it appears to have 151 x 73 mm and a 5.5-inch screen, similar to Galaxy S6 edge Plus and Note 5.

Nokia phones are coming back to the smartphone market in 2016, with a bunch of good ideas for upcoming new Nokia mobiles. Today, we spotted another: Nokia N2 phones featuring a fresh look and Pureview Camera for Nokia fans who want affordable Nokia Smartphones…

Nokia N2 is designed to carry some special favorable features too. The phone will have 3D Touch, a huge 64GB internal storage, 4G LTE and NFC charge. We will have Cortana and an optic scanner on board. There is no information about the Nokia N2 RAM capability yet, but with other premium specs the phone already have, a 4GB RAM or bigger will make it an ideal device.

Nokia N2 Price – super affordable!

For now, please keep in mind that, Nokia N2 is still not launched, but will probably come 2016. But it has so much potential of reaching mass production when Nokia comes back in 2016, which is just a few month ahead of us.
