Ever since Windows 10 is official, Microsoft wants their new OS to be successful everywhere in the world, including Japan. Just yesterday, the company has announced a number of Japanese smartphone makers who will launch devices with Windows Mobile. And in the list, we have, surprisingly, VAIO, the former Sony subsidiary which have been absent from the market for a long while now.

In the big event of Microsoft Japan, VAIO announced that they would finalized their Windows 10 smartphone and officially release at some point in 2016.

Unlike other recent flagships, who spread leaks and rumors long before being introduced to public, VAIO is keeping their Windows 10 smartphone a well-covered secret. This means up to now, we don’t know much about the VAIO Windows 10 smartphone specs, as well as design and pricing.

VAIO Windows 10 smartphone: what we know for now

However, one thing we got confirmed by VAIO is that, there upcoming smartphone, no matter what name it bears, will run on Windows 10 OS.

During Microsoft Japan’s press event, VAIO said it would officlly reveal its Windows 10 Mobile phone sometime in 2016. Specific details about the phone are scarce, but it will reportedly support Microsoft Continuum feature that will allow the phone to be used like a Windows 10 PC.

The other companies with Windows 10 Mobile plans include Freetel, Thirdwave and NuAns.

In our time when the smartphone market is so competitive, a newly launched smartphone as to overcome so many obstacles in order to mark their names. I wonder why VAIO picks Windows 10 instead of popular Android everyone is using now?

Also, I do hope the VAIO smartphone specs will be good for our choice. Which mean I am expecting an at least 4GB RAM and a decent Sony-quality camera.

However, hoping and guessing won’t help decide anything. Let’s wait for 2016 to come, and we will know whether Sony VAIO plays it right this time, in launching their new smartphone.

Samsung has always been one of the most well known smartphone manufacturers. Many of their smartphone flagships, like the Samsung Galaxy series, are used and loved everywhere in the world. And their latest flagships, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, within only weeks of release, is already keeping 5 outstanding records in terms of specs.

You may hate the Samsung-made Galaxy Note 5 for its high pricing, but there are much more out there to love it. Tell us if you are also a fan 🙂

Here are 5 Samsung Galaxy Note 5 specs that are proven the best of its kind

1. Best Galaxy Note 5 display

In late August, Galaxy Note 5 screen was titled the best smartphone display  ever produced (crowned by Display Mate, breaking the record of its brother Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Note 4.

And if you are interested, you can search more about the Display Mate test. They conduct complicated studies and use specialized tools to measure the Note 5 screen brightness, image accuracy, color and many other factors before coming up with the final.

2. Galaxy Note 5 is best for LTE

I bet you still remember the article we shared yesterday. A complicated and detailed test have come up with the final result, after analyzing different factors like Network Switch Rate, Antenna Strength, LTE Speed test etc. And not very unpredictable, Galaxy Note 5 leads the game this time again.

Among 5 best flagships currently launched to our market, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is the best for LTE network. Which means, it is perfect for you if you need stable and smooth mobile data to support on a daily basis.

3. Galaxy Note 5 battery has the longest span for 3000 mAH

Many people used to complain that, considered as a premium flagship, a 3000 mAH battery did not seem to be good enough. However, real life testing have proved that, even with only 3000 mAH, the actual Note 5 battery capacity is 9 hours and 11 minutes of continuous usage.

This result makes Galaxy Note 5 battery the longest-lasting of its 3000 mAH category.

4. Galaxy Note 5 Antutu scores is the highest among Samsung smartphones

Antutu Benchmark is not stranger to us anymore. Scoring almost 70,000 points on the benchmark (exact figure is 69,702), Galaxy Note 5 is currently the record holder among the Samsung smartphone family.

To give you a better comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S6 scored 67,520 points and the Galaxy S6 Edge got 63,910 points.

5. Best stylus smartphone by Samsung

Stylus pen is the signature that can be found in Samsung Galaxy Note devices. Featured as the most premium Samsung smartphone to date, the Note 5 definitely works best with the pen.

Obviously, there are not many devices, even from giant brands like Apple, Samsung, LG, or Sony, equipped with huge batteries like 4,000mAh or above. But, Lenovo smartphones seem to be an exception…

We will not make you wait any longer! The following are 10 best Lenovo Smartphones coming with huge batts that definitely give you more than 24 hours of using. Most of them are capable of 4,000mAh and Lenovo Vibe P1 is the champion here when boasting an up to 5,000mAh cell. How amazing!

1. Lenovo A5000

The first name we want to mention is Lenovo A5000. Though some of the Lenovo A5000 specs are not outstanding, its battery life is so good that we cannot ignore.

2. Lenovo P70

Like other devices in this list, what makes this phone so special is that it is shipped with a 4,000 mAh battery. This large battery capacity provides you with up to one month of standby time or 2-3 days talking time.

Having good battery life, good-looking design, powerful specs, reasonable price, Lenovo P70 is ideal choice for us all.

3. Lenovo P780

Quite similar to Lenovo A5000, the Lenovo P780 comes with sort of low-end specs, but absolutely not the battery. Say, it totally can beat a lot of phones on the market with the 4,000mAh cell!

4. Lenovo P90

Design wise it looks more solid compared to the Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro, without the layered design. Have a look at the Lenovo P90 Hands on Pictures, the overall design is solid and rather understated.

The Lenovo P90 features a 5.5″ Full HD IPS screen with 1080p resolution. The phone sports a 64-BIT Intel Atom Z3560 cpu clocked at 1.8Ghz, making it one of the first Intel 64-Bit phones to launch this year. Also you get 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory. Moreover the Lenovo P90 gets Intel’s new 5-mode XMM 7262 LTE modem which LTE-Advanced FDD and TDD for high speed Internet. For a more details about its specifications, please check out the table!

5. Lenovo K80

Lenovo K80 is famous as a competitor directly to ASUS ZenFone 2 with a massive 4GB RAM. And good news for consumers as well as Lenovo K80 fans is that Lenovo has brought it here, in PH with a reasonable price. However, the happiness is not absolutely completed because Lenovo K80 will just be available with 2GB RAM for now. Yet, keep waiting, we bet that Lenovo Philippines will bring the 4GB RAM ver here soon!

6. Lenovo S860

7. Lenovo ZUK Z1

ZUK is a very fresh and green brand in the smartphone market, backed by one of the biggest giants – Lenovo. The ZUK Z1 design features a metal and glass frame and latest USB Type-C support to meet public’s demands.

In terms of ZUK Z1 specs, the device comes with a combination of rather very high-end and appealing features. ZUK Z1 sports a strong 3GB of RAM with a generous 4,100 mAH to support maximum hours of use. The Lenovo ZUK Z1 camera sensors are very trendy also, with 13MP and 8MP for rear and front shooters respectively.

8. Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro

We can say that Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro is the first member in the Lenovo house to get a Quad HD display, which is becoming a common trend this year. Besides, its camera, esp. the rear one, can be the best in the list since it is capable of 16 megapixels, promising bringing you beautiful pictures and good time when viewing them on a big high quality screen.

9. Lenovo Vibe P1

Lenovo has given Vibe P1 a 5,000mAh battery, which somehow makes it a direct rival to Doogee HomTom as well as other phones sporting such a huge energy source.

In general, Lenovo Vibe P1 is a mid-range smartphone with features quite similar to its sibling Lenovo Phab Plus (announced at the same time). Though, P1 is smaller due to its 5,5-inch FHD display. Apart from the impressive battery, Vibe P1 has quick charging tech and a fingerprint sensor placed on the front surface of the machine. Compared to Vibe P1, Lenovo Vibe P1m seems to have less powerful specs such as 2GB RAM, a MediaTek 64-bit octa-core chip and a 5-inch HD screen. Anyhow, the cells of this duo are so attractive to those who want their phones to last more than just 24 hours.

10. Lenovo Vibe P1m

Of course the 4,000mAh cell is amazing, yet it has other wonderful features like a physical button that can activate the battery saving mode and Quick Charge tech that can help the handset reach 100% of batt in only 3 hours, or with just 15 minutes of charging, you can use the phone in 4 hours. In addition, Lenovo Vibe P1m also boasts advanced Nano-coating by P2i to make it splash-proof. 

Well, those are the fabulous 10 Lenovo Smartphone we would like to introduce to you today. They are powerful with 4,000mAh batteries and above, but the other specs and designs are pretty good also. Moreover, we have the Lenovo K80 with the remarkable 4GB RAM as a strong competitor on the market. Hopefully, Lenovo will produce more products like that 😉 !

Many smartphones these days are launched with 4G LTE support. However, not all of them work really fast on those network connectivity. Especially for people who are on regular travelling or live in areas with unstable internet (like, hmm, in the Philippines).

Therefore, one of the question being frequently asked is, which are the best smartphones for LTE. That is also the reason why I came up with this article about 5 of the best you can find in our market today.

In order to find out the best 5 smartphones that support fast and smooth network, a test has been carried out. I found this piece of information about the test on Androidauthority, and here is their exact quoting about the test

N.B. All handsets were tested using the same network – EE, which supports speeds of up to 300Mbps in the London area – and at the exact same time. The results below are based on a sample of 52 tests in 11 different areas spanning a distance of 170 miles.

Some of the areas being test include but not limited to Network Switch Rate, Antenna Strength, LTE Speed test etc. Here are the results posted on the blog

1. Network Switching rate (The lower is the better)

2. Average speed (The faster is the better)

3. Final result – ranking

After processing different test results, Androidauthority came up with the convincing final ranking. Base on the table above, you can see that Galaxy Note 5 from Samsung is the best device to support LTE network, follow by, surprisingly, LG G4 and Moto X Style. Ranked 4th and 5th in the list are iPhone 6S and Sony Xperia Z5 respectively.

However, please keep in mind that, although there is the best and second best, all 5 devices in this list are among the most premium smartphones in our market these days. Moreover, the result is quite close, so I would say they are fairly similar to each other in terms of the ability to support LTE network.

Take a look, and share to those this piece of information may help. Because good connection on a mobile phone can always make your busy life easier.

This seems to be good news for Android fans and bad news for iPhone fans. But, we have to admit that Android flagships beat Apple iPhone 6S at mobile camera ranking, at least in the DxOMark’s list!

Although Apple iPhone 6S camera has been improved a lot when capable of 12 megapixels for the rear and 5 megapixels for the front shooter (much better than the 8MP rear and the 1.2MP front one of iPhone 6), it was not able to be the champion of the camera battle. Instead, many of this year’s Android flagships made it, topping the DxOMark’s mobile camera ranking list.

Specifically, the latest flagship phone of Apple just stopped at number 10 position, even under the previous generation Apple iPhone 6. Though, their final scores were the same.

Then, what were the Android devices that beat iPhone 6S?

Yeah, yeah, we will not make you wait longer. Here is the list of top 10 smartphone cameras according to DxOMark:

1. Sony Xperia Z5
2. Samsung Galaxy S6 edge
3. Google Nexus 6P
4. LG G4
5. Samsung Galaxy Note 4
6. Motorola Moto X Style
7. Sony Xperia Z3 Plus
8. Apple iPhone 6 Plus
9. Apple iPhone 6
10. Apple iPhone 6S

However, in general, Apple did quite well since there were up to 3 handsets (iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S) joining the top ten. Meanwhile, Sony and Samsung also did a good job with 2 machines per brand appearing in the list. On the other hand, we notice that no Chinese smartphone took a spot. Yet, say, the result is not 100% correct (but of course it does serve as a good base). We mean things can change once there are more phones taken into consideration.

To recap, we would like to congratulate Android on your winning, but keep trying as Apple will also do their best to get a higher place 😉 !

Remember months ago, when Asus launched the very first 4GB RAM smartphones – their Zenfone 2 and amazed us all. Now, more and more devices are coming with the powerful 4GB RAM. However, that does not mean the featured is less attractive to us now, at all.

Here are the top 8 4GB RAM smartphones for October 2015, which run smoothly and powerfully

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 5

I dont think I need to say much about Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The beast is already too famous: best display among all smartphones, long battery capacity, and of course, 4GB RAM.

2. Asus Zenfone 2 4G LTE specs

I bet most of us (if not all) know about the Asus Zenfone 2 4GB RAM. However, one thing that not many of us know is that: the Asus Zenfone 2 has so many variants that we can not list it all. Probably this is one of the smartphones that come with the most variants available.

This time, we introduce to you the Asus Zenfone 2 with 4G LTE support. And of course, 4GB RAM can not be missed out.

3. Sony Xperia Z5 Ultra

The Xperia Z5 family that were launched earlier in IFA 2015, with most attention goes to the Xperia Z5 Premium for being the first 4K display smartphone in the world. However, the Z5 Premium only sports 3GB of RAM.

Rumors have it said, in 2016, if the business goes right, Sony will launch the next generation: Sony Xperia Z5 Ultra. The beast will have everything the users love from the Xperia Z5 Premium: 4K display, 23MP camera plus a powerful 4GB RAM and awaited Snapdragon 820 chip set

4. Acer Predator 6

Launched several days ago, in early October, the Acer Predator 6 is a real gaming beast. The device comes with 4GB RAM, 21MP selfie and unbreakable Helio X20 chip set. Seriously every gamer’s dream.

5. Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe

Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe is yet another amazing flagship from the Taiwanese company. It has a distinctive back cover that no other Zenfone looks similar. Together with 4GB RAM, the Zenfone 2 Deluxe offers a 128GB ROM option. This is just too ideal for any heavy users.

6. LG V10

LG V10 is the latest flagship launched by LG for October 2015. The device caught public attention with elegant design and a unique 2nd display. With very outstanding feature, and a strong RAM, LG V10 is definitely one of the best 4GB RAM smartphones for October 2015.

7. Elephone Vowney

Elephone Vowney is a Chinese smartphone introduced in late September – early October. The reason why we feature this phone is that, compare to the price tag, Elephone Vowney specs make a very good deal beside the 4GB RAM: 2K display, 4000 mAH and more excitingly, dual boot support.

The Elephone Vowney price in PH will be around 17-18K

8. Oppo R7S

Oppo R7s is a very new device which was introduced just days ago. The Oppo R7s smartphone is said to be launched on October 18. Until then, we will now know much about Oppo R7s full specs. However,it has been unveiled that Oppo will offer 2 RAM variants for this flagship: 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM. We suppose there will be small differences between the two. However, it is good to know Oppo R7S is among the best 4GB RAM smartphones of October. And it will be highly appreciated for its world famous camera sensors.

According to them, Predator range starts with an 8-inch tablet, then 15-inch and 17-inch Notebooks, and Desktop platforms. Besides, they also equip their HD 4K Curved Gaming Monitor for those products. On the other hand, a member of the Predator family that you would like to care more about is the Predator Phone, followed by a Predator Projector. It seems like you will not have any reasons to “not game” anymore 🙂 ! Additionally, all of them comes with screen sizes ranging from 6 inches to 40 inches.

Talking more about the Predator phone, we would like to mention the super strong Acer Predator 6 specs. Its display measure 6 inches (as the smallest size in the range), which means more viewing experience while gaming. Moreover, 4GB RAM gets on-board as well, making other flagships watch out for this phone’s power, especially ones from giant companies like Samsung or Sony.

Furthermore, the Acer Predator 6 smartphone owns a deca-core processor, which may be the Helio X20 chip from Mediatek, and a whooping 21MP sensor, which is so much a wonderful gift for the gamers though we do not know if they use it very often.

Looking at the family picture, we are kind of blown away by its fierce look and the number of members. If you have chance to purchase one of these predators, don’t forget to share your feelings and opinions with us!

There is the fact that all of us know: more and more smartphones these days are targeted to work as very good camera devices also. I know there are many features that help decide a good smartphone: big battery, strong RAM, premium display etc. However, for some reasons, camera-centric smartphones with qualified shooters always make it to sell super well.

Here are the reasons why you should buy a camera-centric smartphone

1. It may make your work done more easily

And I am not being overly technical. But a fast growing number of our job these days require sending and receiving tons figures. What could be easier than snapping the first picture of your newly-launched product, and send right away to your customer? What could be better if you smartphone captures to details with high resolution and color blending

2. Best memory keeper

You don’t need to carry your digital camera everywhere now. Because with a camera-centric smartphone (which is likely to be with you 24/7), you can just snap anytime and any where. What is even cooler? With the help of social media, immediate sharing can be done in an eyelash

3.  The huge difference it creates

Let’s face it, unless you are a heavy tech geek, for many of us, 2GB RAM is not much different from 3GB. Small internal storage can be expandable with supported microSD card. Short-lived battery can be added up with portable power bank. But what would you do with a blurry camera on your smartphones? Apps and filters would help for sure, but they can’t replace a better sensor.

4. Useful everyday tool, especially for girls

You are on a date and want to check your make up but left your mirror at home? Use your selfie camera 🙂 And at situations like this, you will be happy you chose a good camera-centric smartphone 😀 In order words, how do you do that with a blurry “mirror”?

I bet I can not cover everything here. If you know any other good reason why we should invest our money into a decent camera-centric smartphone, don’t hesitate to share with us here.

ASUS has been quite for a while now. It is not that they are not working on any new project or satisfied with what they achieved by far. Recent reports have it said that, Asus just officially released a bootloader unlock tool for their Zenfone 2 variants. With this tool, Android users can freely custom the ROMs on their devices the way they would like to.

Fore-WARNING: this Bootloader unlock is not for beginners and amateurs as it can harm your device and ASUS will not be in charge of any loss. Please read carefully upon any attempt. 

So, let’s get straight to the main point. The Taiwanese smartphone OEM is now providing interested users with a toolkit to unlock their bootloader. This will make things much easier for interested Zenfone 2 users. If you want to tinker your smartphone, and confident enough to take the risk, keep on reading.

The first requirement is to update your Zenfone 2 to the latest software version. Then, you can download, install and run the “Unlock Device App” and adjust your mobile to whatever you want. However, ASUS clearly warns users that, by downloading the unlock, you accepted to change the way your device receive updates and warranty from the company. To be frank, you will lose the original software (permanently), and no future ASUS updates will automatically reach your ID.

It is nice to know that ASUS is so eager in searching for innovations, and so willing to offer new changes. As a Zenfone 2 users, you would have the huge advantages of the first users to ever have that much access and freedom in tinkering your smartphone. But at the same time, that equal to all the unpredictable risk and zero warranty.

It is understandable for ASUS to provide more offers for customers, but still worry about their name and the reliability they spent years and limitless efforts to gain. If this brand new app makes you curious, click on the link below to go to read the utility and download the Bootloader app from ASUS.

I bet you don’t need me to confirm the fact that selfie smartphones were, are and will always be one of the most attentive mobile devices users always look for. A good smartphone camera is even more favorable than a DSLR nowadays. So lets find out which one is the best Selfie Smartphones 2015 for the Philippines! 

Here are 10 of the best selfie smartphones in Philippines for 2015, all recently launched for October 2015. The handsets are divided into 2 groups, one with whooping 13MP front shooters, the others feature 8MP or smaller.

A. Top selfie smartphones with 13MP front camera sensors

1. Sony Xperia M5

Sony Xperia M5 is a crazy beast. You can find most of the best features in just one smartphone: big RAM, decent battery, large display, waterproof, and of course appealing camera sensors.

Sony Xperia M5 specs

2. Sony Xperia C5 Ultra

Xperia C5 Ultra is the selfie-centric smartphone made by Sony. It is the successor of the best-selling Sony Xperia C4 Selfie. This along, and the reputation Sony has for their smartphone cameras explains why Xperia C5 Ultra is one of the first to mention when talking about best selfie smartphones for October 2015

3. Asus Zenfone Selfie

We have talked about Asus Zenfone Selfie over and over again. But yes, it is still a very strong competitor of this Best selfie smartphones list. (Especially if you check out the Zenfone selfie price)

Asus Zenfone Selfie price in PH is PHP 12K

B. Top selfie smartphones with 8MP front camera sensors and below

4. Oppo R7S Philippines

Oppo R7s is a very new device which was introduced just days ago. The Oppo R7s smartphone is said to be launched on October 18. Until then, we will now know much about Oppo R7s full specs. However, Oppo is world-famous about high quality selfie camera. And from the leaks we got so far, the R7s Oppo smartphone will feature 13MP/8MP

5. LG V10 Philippines

LG V10 is the latest flagship launched by LG for October 2015. The device caught public attention with elegant design and a unique 2nd display. Although LG V10 selfie camera is only 5MP, but there are 2 of them, which make the pictures much more beautiful, and make LG V10 one of the best selfie smartphones for October 2015.

6. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Philippines

Talking about premium selfie Samsung smartphones, how can we forget Samsung and their amazing flagships. Users love the latest Smartphones likes Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series for beautiful sensor despite the resolution.

This Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is not an exception either. With only 5MP front camera, real life experience has proved that the Galaxy Note 5 camera is still one of the best for selfie snapping.

7. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is no doubt one of the best selfie smartphones we can have in October, maybe in 2015. Although the front snapper resolution only say 5 MP, its result can be much more impressive. I still remember how surprised I was when seeing what good photo the Xperia Z2 selfie camera can take with just 2MP resolution.

8. Xiaomi Mi 4c

We are all aware that Mi4c’s selfie snapper features an 85-degree wide angle, equivalent to 24mm wide angle camera, and enables users to cover 6 or 7 people in just one shot. This feature is what make Xiaomi Mi4c 5MP selfie camera worth being one of the best selfie smartphones for October.

9. Huawei Mate S

Huawei Mate S is produced to be a direct rival to iPhone 6S, especially when they recently launched the Rose Gold version

10. Huawei Nexus 6P

Although Huawei Nexus 6P turned out to be not as good as we have expected (with high price, no SD card slot), its cameras are worth being noticed. Huawei Nexus 6P camera is second best in our market now, only after that of Sony Xperia Z5 series.

Which one is the best Selfie Smartphone 2015 for the Philippines?

Which one is your favorite among the 10 best selfie smartphones of October? The latest Samsung Phone Note 5? Or do you go with the new LG V10 Smartphone? Let us know in the comments!

At Computex 2015, ASUS unveiled a dream flagship, a new ZenFone that is dedicated to taking the best selfies. Then, ASUS ZenFone Selfie went on sale and won many people’s hearts thanks to its mighty front camera. Besides, I think that another key factor having contributed to ZenFone Selfie’s success is its color.

Originally, it has Pure White, Chic Pink, and Aqua Blue as sweet pastel colors. Yet, maybe they are too… cute for some adults or businessmen to use, so ASUS Philippines has decided to release more “formal” versions of ZenFone Selfie and even ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser!

Silver, Red, and Gold are the new colors! 

Over at ASUS’s Facebook page, they have announced the new colors which are quite similar to ASUS ZenFone 2’s. However, you do not have to worry about the specifications. The ASUS ZenFone Selfie specs are remained no matter what color it is. For a full view of the device’s features, please have a look at the following table:

On the other hand, I also received news about the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser. Specifically, it is the ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 5.0, one of the first ZenFone 2 Laser models sporting a Qualcomm chip. Furthermore, its ability of taking photos is also great due to using laser focusing to achieve a focus speed of just 0.2 second with no shutter lag, according to ASUS.

Interestingly, ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 5.0 is also the first member of the ZenFone family to be equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass 4, having twice (2x) the drop-damage resistance of its predecessor and 2.5x retained strength, and 85% less likely to break in daily use. Cool!

ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser new colors are Silver and Gold!

For more details about ASUS ZenFone 2 Laser 5.0 specs, check out the table below:

Well, I expect that those variants will come to Philippines soon, so you will have various color options to consider. Anyhow, if I were you, I would choose… 😀 ! 

Besides other trendy smartphone features, Dual SIM is the one thing that more and more customers tend to seek in recently-launched devices. However, to my surprise, not many of the new smartphones go with this option. Here are top 5 handset for October with Dual SIM

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 DUOS

The DUOS is a version of the famous Samsung Galaxy Note 5. The Note 5 DUOS specs are pretty much the same with the original version. Except, the handset comes with Dual SIM slot to give users more choices and better access to mobile service.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 DUOS specs include 4GB RAM, best-in-the-world super AMOLED display, premium 16MP camera and powerful Exynos 7420 chip set. Galaxy Note 5 DUOS battery is also 3000 mAH in capacity, like that of the original Note 5 version and comes with S Pen Stylus that many users fall in love with.

2. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium Dual

Toghether with Galaxy Note 5 by Samsung, the Xperia Z5 Premium is one of the hottest devices of October 2015. And they are also using the same strategy Samsung uses for their flagship: one original version and one with Dual SIM option.

Beside supporting one more SIM card, the Xperia Z5 Premium Dual features everything else that you can find in the non-dual variant. Whether it is world’s first 4K display, world’s best 23MP camera, or 2-day-long 3,430 mAH battery, you have it all, and an extra SIM card slot.

3+4. Microsoft Lumia 950XL Dual

Freshly launched earlier in October, Microsoft Lumia 950XL (and its sibling Lumia 950) are getting much attention. Especially after we put them into a comparison battle with other flagships in the market: LG V10, iPhone 6S Plus etc.

Seeing how improtant a second SIM card can be, Microsoft also launched 2 Dual variant for their latest Windows 10 smartphones. So add in the list are Microsoft Lumia 950XL Dual and Microsoft Lumia 950 Dual

For detailed Microsoft Lumia 950XL specs, check our previous article here

5. Huawei Mate S

Huawei Mate S can be considered an iPhone 6S rival. Firstly, the smartphone comes with premium ID Force Touch that we find in latest iPhone devices. Next, Huawei launched Rose Gold color option for their Mate S handset (which we all know, is iPhone 6S’s key selling point)

However, when iPhone 6S only supports single SIM, its counterpart Huawei Mate S offers optional Dual SIM slot, which can be a winning point for the Chinese company.

Huawei Mate S specs are quite premium: 3GB RAM, HiSilicon Kirin 935 chip set, 13MP/8MP camera and 2700 mAH battery.
