2015 has been a great year for Asus since their first 4GB RAM Asus Zenfone 2 entered the smartphone market. However, Asus is not just about Zenfone 2. Here are other Top Asus smartphones and their inspiring secrets

Best Asus smartphones 2015

 1. Best for selfie: Asus Zenfone Selfie

The name has said it all. Asus Zenfone Selfie is the device aimed at selfie lovers. Featuring dual 13MP, the smartphone is very favorable in terms of capturing fun moments and keeping your memories alive. Asus Zenfone Selfie also comes with Dual SIM and Dual LTE, allowing users to connect and share their pictures any time they would like!

We have already had big BATTERY, DISPLAY RESOLUTION, and RAM, but it seems we lack something. Yes, its time for huge internal storage!

Usually a phone has two, three or four options over the internal storage with different prices (it costs more when the ROM space increases). We know it is important because of being the place where you store all your media and software needed. Therefore, in today’s post, we would like to introduce 10 smartphones having 128GB and above ROM to you and some of them can even be expanded via microSD cards.

In late 2003, Nokia 1100 feature phone was launched, and soon became an all-time best seller. In 2015, we are excited to see Nokia 1100 Pureview smartphone: a legend makeover with 4GB RAM, 20MP Pureview for a very friendly price tag….

Nokia 1100 4GB RAM Beast

Nokia 1100 smartphone is said to be running popular Android OS, ideally Android 6.0 Marshmallow and a MediaTek processor, to prevent over heating issue found in many Snapdragon-powered smartphones. Other Nokia 1100 Pureview specs include: 4GB RAM (which is good for a mid-ranger price), a Quad HD or at least Full HD display, 3,500 – 4,000 mAH battery. Considering a friendly price tag, all of these features make a coolest combination every smartphone could pack!

Did you notice that we just missed a detail about Nokia 1100 specs?  We did not forget it, Nokia 1100 camera, as a signature, will come in 20MP Pureview sensor that all of us users love! Design-wise, Nokia 1100 smartphone has a stylized back cover from the original Nokia 1100. In general, it is beautiful with super slim bezels and no physical home button on the front surface. Also, Android OS and a favorable price tag seem to be a very wise business strategy Nokia makes this time, allowing their device to reach a wider range of customers. I am quite sure many of us here are a fan of the Finnish mobile giant Nokia! And every since we know Android OS, it has become the most widely-used option. There would be no reason for us to refuse such a good handset from such a great producer, with such awesome specs, if the price comes in right! We are guessing, Nokia 1100 Pureview will cost between USD 220 to USD 280. Do you want to make a bet with us?

Nokia 1100 price and availability

Well, we are in the last months of 2015 and 2016 is coming, which means the time Nokia comes back is also very close. A lot of Nokia smartphones have been suggested and they are so great, including Nokia 1100 smartphone. With what we know about Nokia 1100 Pureview for now, we hope this legend – makeover will do it right and make a nice comeback of our Giant!

When November arrives, it is the sign that “The best time of the year” – year end season is also coming close. And it is also the shopping season when people would start looking for gifts to buy. Smartphones could make very nice gift ideas also, especially those come with a friendly price tag.

Here are top Android smartphones for November, pricing PHP 10K and less.

Exactly what you are looking for? Keep reading on to find out who they are!

1. Best selfie smartphone for PHP 10K

Alcatel Onetouch Flash Plus is the one smartphone that appeared on many of our lists back in October and earlier. This month, the company just launched a new generation of their budget smartphone series: Alcatel Onetouch Flash 2. The device is highly evaluated and recommended by many experienced users.

Alcatel Flash 2 features 13MP main camera and 5MP front camera with LED Flash, making sure you can have best lighting for selfie under any condition.

Alcatel Flash 2 is currently on sale in Philippines with the price of PHP 6,2K

2. Best battery smartphone for PHP 10K

You might be thinking what I am thinking! The best battery smartphone for PHP 10K is definitely Asus Zenfone Max with 5,000 mAH capacity. There are a couple of reasons to vote for this guy. First, Asus has proved their high quality in the smartphones they made. Second, Asus Zenfone Max has a whooping 5,000 mAH and fast charge. Third, with the price of PHP 10K, the Zenfone Max also come with a combination of other good specs: 2GB RAM, 13MP camera and 4G LTE!

3. Best display smartphone for PHP 10K

You may be surprised, but the Meizu M2 Note display seems to be leading ahead its competitors. The Meizu M2 Note display features a 5.5” FHD IGZO. IGZO is the material that “can improve the speed, resolution and size of flat-panel displays” – (Wikipedia), making the images display bright, beautiful and smooth.

Meizu M2 Note price in Philippines is PHP 7K, perfectly fit in the PHP 10K category.

4. Best Chinese smartphone for PHP 10K

Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 is probably the best of its own category. Although made by a Chinese producer, Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 has enough good name as well as quality to prove its place in the market. The reason why I vote Redmi Note 2 as the best Chinese smartphone in general for this price category is that, it offers a harmony of many nice features for its money: 2GB RAM, Helio X10 chip set, 13MP/5MP and 3060 mAH!

For detailed information and hands on about Xiaomi Redmi Note 2, please refer to our previous article here

5. Best non-Chinese smartphone for PHP 10K

While many people don’t really mind, for others, a Chinese smartphone will not be in their list. That is why we will also feature a non-Chinese smartphone for the price group also.

Our recommendation is Galaxy J5 from the Korean Samsung. The Galaxy J5 is one of the best representative of Samsung smartphone’s signature: classy design, good build, good main camera, trendy selfie shooter, and beautiful display quality (compared to its price group, of course).

The Galaxy J5 is also one of the best selfie smartphones you can find for this budget, with 5MP front snapper. Other Galaxy J5 specs include: handy 5-inch HD Display, 1.5GB RAM, Snapdragon 410, 13MP rear camera, 2600 mAH and 3G network.

Samsung Galaxy J5 price in Philippines is quite close to PHP 10K: PHP 9,890 for 8GB ROM variant

6. Best 4G LTE smartphone for PHP 10K

4G LTE is indeed an important feature more and more users are looking for. The Lenovo A7000 Plus, or Lenovo A7000 special edition, has what it takes to be that one device worth every of your penny. 4G LTE support allows you to have faster access by mobile network.

Othe Lenovo A7000 Plus specs are: 5.5”, Dual SIM, 2GB RAM, 13MP/5MP and 2900 mAH battery. Lenovo A7000 price in Philippines is PHP 8K

PHP 10K price tag: the value is more

Above are our list of top 6 smartphones for PHP 10K and less in November. Do you find your perfect match yet? One thing I find in common from these beasts is that, despite the humble price, each and every of them offers very favorable specs and features, targeting different groups of consumers!

ASUS unveiled a new variant for their ASUS Zenfone 2 collection. It is called ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe, beautiful and powerful. Recently, we have spotted an even more special edition of this handset. Check it out!

ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition means special design!

This time the new Deluxe version has a smooth carbon fiber box with the ZenFone 2 Deluxe logo placed on the top plus “Special Edition” on one angled corner. Interestingly, the Special Edition offers TWO exclusive back covers to consumers! One is with a sleek carbon-fiber style and the other is with a faceted style together with a smooth and shiny metallic silver color. It looks stunning and impressive to be honest! However, we think this style is more for man than women. Do you agree?

ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition specs and price

The Special Edition features 128GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64GB), which can enable you to store up to an extra 45,000 pictures. OMG! About the OS, ZenUI has been changed. A notification menu is added, including icons outlined in red against a 3D-looking black disk. Nonetheless, the specs of this special edition are not very different from the original ASUS ZenFone 2. Have a look at them in the following table:

ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition Release Date

ASUS ZenFone 2 is never going to stop being hot and its variants, including ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe, are welcome. Here we have a special version of the Deluxe priced at a quite good price. So, hope it comes to our market soon!

Crowned as the best Chinese smartphone producers, Huawei is doing really well with their Kirin chipsets in powering higher-end smartphones. However, the Chinese King doesn’t seem to be stopping at where they are. The company is working on the next generation, the Kirin 950 to launch for their upcoming flagship Huawei Mate 8, expected to release later this November 2015.

Kirin 950 – rival to Exynos 8890

The Kirin 950 has been said to be the direct rival to Samsung’s Exynos 8890 used for Galaxy S7 and Snapdragon 820 rumored for Xiaomi Mi5. It is also believed to be more powerful than Apple A9 on iPhone 6S.

When we take a closer look at the Kirin 950, it seem that rumors are not exaggerating much. The latest chipset made by Huawei is actually quite impressive. Huawei have used the 16nm FinFET process to produce the Kirin 950 in order to utilize flip transitors. The Chinese King also promises a 40% increase in performance and 60% decrease in power usage. Wow!

Kirin 950 and its technical figures

In terms of technical figures, the Kirin 950 is an octa-core CPU, using high-power Cortex-A72 cores with the speed of 2.53 GHz. This helps provide the harmony between powerful performance and reasonable battery consumption. The Kirin 950 also features a small i5 co-processor. Compared to the previous generation i3 core, the i5 helps your smartphones stay strong and smooth all the time.

Although its a bit early for us to know about the Kirin 950 performance figures, their company did reveal the chip set’s AnTuTu points as a teaser before release. According to that, Kirin 950 scored almost 83 000 points on the famous Chinese benchmark. The result is so good it can easily impress any user. If everything goes right, we will have the Huawei Mate 8 flagship smartphone launched soon. With what we know so far about the Kirin 950 chip set, it is absolutely expected that the Mate 8 by Huawei will be a powerful handset.

Kirin 950 and Huawei Mate 8 launch

It is not very official yet, but very possible that Huawei will launch their Mate 8 beast on November 26. Let’s wait for a couple of weeks more to “meet” this latest product by the Chinese King of smartphone!

Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is one of the latest devices by the Japanese Giant that attracted huge attention from the public. This is the first Sony smartphone ever that has a 6.0 inch display, making it falling into the phablet category. The Sony Xperia C5 Ultra price is also very favorable too, compared to the brand name and specs, costing around PHP 27K.

In this article, we would like to analyze some of the most outstanding features as well a some drawbacks of this Xperia C5 Ultra. At the end, we hope you have enough data to consider whether this beast can win over other good flagships in the market.

6 Best things about Sony Xperia C5 Ultra

1. Maximum display space

Thanks to the maximum screen-to-body ratio, the Xperia C5 Ultra has a maximum display screen for your browsing. Everything would look good on this screen, especially media files like movies, games, pictures etc.

2. Best selfie camera sensor

The Xperia C5 selfie camera, as well as that of its predecessor Xperia C4 features beautiful 13MP resolution. If you have used an Xperia smartphone, you would know what I mean by how good it can be. Especially when the previous high-end Xperia Z2 only has a 2MP front camera but already produced very nice pictures.

3. High quality build

Although the device has a plastic body, it is carefully made and looks firmly decent on your hands. Physical button offer the best it could, contributing to the device premium feels.

4. Multiple window display

Thanks to the big display space, you can actually operate many apps the same time. For example, you can surf on the internet, and watch your favorite movie at the same time, isn’t it cool?

5. Decent battery capacity

A battery test conducted by GSMArena has proved that the Xperia C5 Ultra can work continuously 7h 15 minutes when surfing on the internet or watching movies. It is pretty good for a 2930 mAh capacity.

6. Beautiful design with thin bezel

With very slim bezels on the rears, the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra looks visually premium and classy, making it feel great on your hand and suitable to be a business-like accessory.

However, like most things, beside their good points, the Sony Xperia C5 clearly has its weaknesses. They are there because nothing is perfect, and they contribute to the factors that decide whether it is a suitable smartphone for you or not. 

3 drawbacks to be improved about Sony Xperia C5 Ultra

1. Over heating caused by camera

Though not powered by Snapdragon 810, the successor of C4 selfie does encounter over heating problem. This is especially clear when you use camera or other media apps like gaming, movie, internet surfing by 3G for a while.

2. Lack of double tapping function

Attractive as it may seem, the Xperia C5 does lack some basic functions that many users love. For instances, it doesn’t support double tapping to light up the screen.

3. Finger print on the back

While the lower-end smartphone Xperia M4 Aqua has a protecting glass on the back, the C5 does not. With a plastic cover, it is quite easy for the C5 Ultra to show your fingerprint on it. It is also easy to be scratched if not carefully protected by extra casing.

Sony Xperia C5 Ultra: considering what it has

Above are some bonuses and minuses I find necessary to share with you. In general, the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is a favorable smartphone to have, considering its specs and price. I hope the drawbacks will be improved and help you know what to visualize to make the best out of it.

OnePlus X launch occurred not long ago and now it is on the way to many countries’ markets around the world, including India, courtesy of Amazon.

OnePlus X specs

Though the “flagship killer” OP2 has arguably failed in creating success for the company like OnePlus One, the latest OnePlus X seems able to bring them a bright future then. Specifically, it has a 5.0-inch Full HD Active Matrix OLED display (~441 ppi) and covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 preventing scratches, small bumps and bruises. The whole phone is powered by a non-removable lithium-polymer 2,525mAh battery and a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor. In addition, 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage are on-board, but not NFC.

As for the camera, there are a 13MP rear f/2.2 snapper with 0.2-second autofocus and phase detection autofocus, plus an up to 8MP front-facing shooter, perfect for selfies. And just like its bigger brother OnePlus 2, the X runs on OxygenOS based on Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system. More info about the OxygenOS is that it provides a handy Dark Mode for nighttime reading and some gestures designed to help you use the phone more easily.

For a fuller and clearer view of the OnePlus X specs, let’s check the table below:

OnePlus X price in India

As we mentioned above, the phone has arrived in India with a price tag of Rs. 16,999 and will be delivered within 2 – 4 business days for free. EMI is also available and worth Rs. 1,518.30 per month. Though, bear in mind that you will still need to have an invite before purchasing a OnePlus X India. But, everything seems more ready this time, not like OnePlus 2 launch.

In addition, the OnePlus team has recently announced they will apply a new warranty scheme for its smartphones. And of course OnePlus X is one of them, too. Accordingly, the scheme will offer additional protection against accidental damage for 1-year manufacturer warranty.

Unfortunately, there is a limited amount of stock on Amazon India. As a result, every customer is limited in ordering the X, just one per person. Note that the handset is in stock from today, November 6, 2015, and will be shipped on November 7, 2015.

CONCLUSION

OnePlus X is drawing much people’s attention thanks to its pretty good specifications and prices. Hope that the company is going to gain more success in this half of the year with their new member!

How about you? Are you about to get yourself an X? 

Continue the “4 awesome Nokia smartphone concepts to come in 2016”, today we would like to introduce 5 more concepts to you! They all come with appealing designs and specs that will absolutely make you fall in love with Nokia Smartphones once again. With the fast development of technology, the chance for such concepts to be considered and brought into live by Nokia is much higher. They can even be the secret weapons that Nokia will use to “attack” mobile market in 2016. Check them out now!

1. Nokia Lumia Play: A special gift for gamers

Nokia Lumia Play specs:

The Play is powered by Microsoft XBOX technology and can be used as a gamepad with an XBOX 360 console. Other features of the Nokia Lumia Play are a quad-core CPU, 2 GB of RAM paired with 32 GB of internal storage (expandable up to 64 GB), and a display with high definition, 1136 x 640 resolution and Gorilla Glass.

As for the camera, there are a 10 MP Full HD rear and a 5 MP front-facing snapper. Though this is not a camera-centric smartphone, we hope Nokia can equip the main shooter with 13 MP or more. Also, Lumia Play is said to support NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, and Wi-Fi, and come with 5 different color options.

2. Nokia 3D: “A modern smartphone user interface”

This is a Nokia smartphone that is not only available for your viewing pleasure but also capable of 3D looks. It is considered as a device coming with beauty elements of Finnish nature. Though the design is quite simple, we still can see the taste of a premium machine. According to the designer, it would be equipped with “a modern smartphone user interface.”

3. Nokia 701: The comeback of Windows Phone

Some Nokia 701 specs are likely to include a quad-core lower end CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 8 or 16 GB of internal storage (not knowing if it can be expanded or not) and a 5 MP camera. If so, its specifications are not really attractive, huh? As a result, the price has to be the main selling key. However, there is no detail for that! Or on the contrary, in case of being able to make it come true, Nokia should put some things like 2 GB RAM, 5 MP front, 13 MP rear shooter, etc. in and Nokia 701 will be a good deal!

4. Nokia McLaren: Whooping 50MP Pureview

Nokia McLaren is a beautiful smartphone concept proposed by Nokia when still under the contract with Microsoft. It was supposed to come with super fascinating specs: a handy 5-inch screen, premium 3D Touch ID and an amazing 50MP ZEISS Pureview camera sensor!

However, the device was later cancelled by Microsoft, so not many people have known about it any further. It would be an absolutely awesome smartphone if besides the 50MP camera, it could go with huge RAM and long battery also such as 6GB of RAM (for 2016, yes) and at least 4000 mAH battery!

5. Nokia Fit: Tiny but mighty

The Nokia fit is a basic phone that can only operate phone calls and texting. The buttons and control are within easy reach (since everything is on your finger, what is not easy then?). They are all located either on the top or on the bottom of the device. Vibrations would be what you can expect to realize incoming calls or new text messages. So it is totally silent and perfect for a serious mission.

Nokia Smartphones Malaysia 2016 – Conclusion

What do you think about those Nokia smartphones? Is there any other favorite device you would want Nokia to bring to real life in 2016? Since Microsoft Mobile’s contract with Nokia is ending, we might see one of the above handsets very soon!

In this half of the year, we have witnessed a lot of launch events of flagships from Samsung, Sony, Google, Huawei, LG and so on. But are they all as powerful as each other? We would say… let’s check the following battle first and come to a conclusion! Today we have:

Xperia Z5 Premium vs Galaxy S6 edge Plus

As we know Z5 Premium is famous for its 4K display and S6 edge Plus is known as a flagship smartphone with a curved screen. They have something special for themselves but which one is more outstanding in terms of design, specs and prices? First, look at the spec table and we will clearly see some important differences:

SPECS COMPARISON

Z5 Premium and S6 edge Plus are phablets but the Plus is obviously bigger with 5.7-inch display instead of 5.5-inch one of the Premium. Despite being smaller, the Sony’s beast has an up to 4K resolution for the display. Many people has argued if it is really necessary for a smartphone since its size is not of a TV and we can hardly notice any difference. On the other hand, the Plus’s Quad HD screen seems more reasonable. And it sports 4GB RAM, biggest capacity for RAM nowadays, while the Z5 Premium has ended up with boasting just 3GB RAM, which cannot show the strength a flagship should have.

As for the processor, it is also like a comparison between Snapdragon and Exynos chip, yet both phones are almost similar in terms of speed. However, there is one thing about the Snapdragon 810 most people are afraid of. It is the heating issue the chipset causes. Many devices equipped with SD810 have been reported to have the same problem. Then, Sony Z5 Premium has to be wary.

Nonetheless, we have to praise Z5 Premium for its expandable internal storage and camera; they are better than those of S6 edge Plus for sure. In spite of giving consumer only one 32GB version, the Premium ROM comes along with a microSD card slot that can be used to expand the ROM up to 200GB. And the rear camera is…AWESOME with 23 megapixels to take any photo you like. In addition, the battery of Sony Z5 Premium is a bit larger than that of Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Plus.

So, those are some points we want to compare when it comes to the specs. Now, we move on to the design. 

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium does have a premium look, just like its name. The frame is made of aluminum with nylon padding on the corners to protect the glossy glass on the back. The fingerprint sensor is built in the power button on one side of the handset, which is very creative and useful as you do not have to turn the Z5 Premium up and down to unlock it.

Meanwhile, Samsung S6 edge+ design includes a metal frame; the front and back surfaces are covered with Gorilla Glass 4. Like we said above, its selling point is the dual curved edges and one of them can even be customized to display 5 apps you usually use, 5 contacts, a night clock, notifications and alerts. Different from the Sony’s product, its fingerprint scanner is integrated into a physical home button placed on the front.

Well, in this look comparison, it is so hard for us to choose a winner. They are all gorgeous! We let you decide it.

PRICE COMPARISON

Last but not least, it is about prices. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has not been confirmed yet, but Sony Xperia Z5 Premium price is likely to cost around $975 (RM4,200), which is a hefty price in fact. On the contrary, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Plus price is way less, staring from RM2,755. There is no hesitation anymore. Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Plus beats Sony Xperia Z5 Premium in this price battle!

CONCLUSION

We mainly considered the specs, prices, and designs of these flagship smartphones and saw that each of them is special in their own way. They are powerful and beautiful. Yet, we have to admit Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Plus is better than its competitor today in many aspects. Don’t you agree?

Nokia just celebrated their 150th anniversary, making it one of the longest-life smartphone manufacturers in the world. One month later, we have their Nokia CEO announced with the press about a promising coming back: Nokia’s return to the smartphone market with Nokia Android!! Isn’t it just exciting and worth waiting for the Nokia Comeback in 2016?

Nokia’s return to the smartphone battle has already been set to come. Although most of this Finnish technology company was sold to Microsoft in a multi-million dollar deal which completed last year, there are still parts belong to the long-standing brand. In the Nokia’s return, the Giant will be focusing on designing and licensing only.

Nokia’s return: Watch out, competitors! The Giant is coming back

They are thinking of partnering with some different third parties to provide Nokia’s design and let those companies manufacture and launch final products, said CEO Rajeev Suri to German Publication, the “Manager Magazin”, when announcing Nokia’s return. Under an agreement with Microsoft, Nokia is not allowed to use its brand on phones until Q4 of 2016. So if everything goes right, the world-famous Nokia will come back to the smartphone market in 2016. “We will look for suitable partners,” says Suri. “Microsoft makes mobile phones.
