You may know from our previous post that Acer will release a gaming phablet named Acer Predator 6. We gave some basic information on the phone, but this time we are back with a hands-on review of the phablet. This article will give you what you need to know about the device. Moreover, you get to see it in live images!
Acer Predator 6 is the fancied phablet that every gamer will want
Acer Predator 6 specs consist of 6” screen, deca-core processor and 4GB RAM for you gaming experience. Of course, these are the basic specs. We need to take a closer look to know how powerful it is.
Acer Predator 6 design
At the first glance, the 6” screen device looks great in metal and red touches . The back of the device is arched out, giving it more of an edgy look. Moreover, Acer Predator 6 is made out of metal, so it gives the phone a very premium look.
Acer Predator 6 display
The phone sports a huge 6” display for your max enjoyment. As it aims at gamers, a big screen is vital for gaming. A bigger screen provides better viewing experience, and gaming on a big screen gives more pleasure as well.
Acer Predator 6 hardware
Power up the phone is Mediatek MT6797 chipset, which provides a deca-core processor. The deca-core processor is made from three core sets: quad-core 1.4Ghz, quad-core 2GHz, and dual-core 2.5Ghz. This is much enough for running large games, and executing tasks smoothly. Moreover, it features a 4GB RAM as well. Can flagships such as Sony Xperia Z5 Premium or Samsung Galaxy Note 5 beat it in terms of hardware ?
Acer Predator 6 camera
Acer Predator 6 camera is a huge 21MP sensor. This is something very nice to put on a gaming phablet. Since only Sony Xperia Z series camera have 21MP sensor and above, Acer has carved the path for other devices to upgrade better camera.
Acer Predator 6 battery is not announced, but for a great device like this, let us hope that a whooping 10000mAh will be there.
Acer Predator 6 release date & pricing info
As of now, there is no official info yet. However, we hope Acer Predator 6 price in the Philippines will be around PHP 15k, so that we can get the most of this phablet easily.
If Nokia Swan is Nokia’s high end Flagship for 2016, Nokia C1 will be Nokia’s Android 6.0 Smartphone to get closer to fans who want affordable Nokia smartphones with high specs like 20MP Pureview and 5.5″ FHD!
Nokia C1 Winner of Design
As Nokia will return to the market in 2016 we have been seeing a lot of upcoming Nokia smartphones around. This time we want to show you the live images of Nokia C1, an Nokia Android smartphone that is inspired from an already released Nokia tablet. This Nokia C1, according to the news, will likely be Nokia’s new smartphone for 2016. And what makes it very appealing is that, the Nokia C1 will have a mid-range price tag.
Nokia is still having their secret well kept about the official Nokia C1 specs. However, from the leaks, we now know that the Nokia C1 display will sport a 5.5″ FHD Screen. As a mid-ranger, Nokia C1 will feature 4GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. The Nokia C1 camera is said to be an 20MP Pureview combined with a 8 MP selfie shooter, which reminds us of Nokia E1. Also, a 64-BIT Mediatek CPU is expected to keep the price low and the performance high.
We really think this is a smart move of Nokia, when featuring both the C1 and E1 as budget bugs on their comeback, since it clearly reaches a wider range of customers, making it easier to sell. The Android-powered Nokia C1 with 5.5″ FHD, 4GB RAM and 20MP Pureview surely has what it takes to be a best seller 2016!
Nokia C1 Price – Super Affordable
As for the Nokia C1 Price, although Nokia has not finalized yet, we can expect a 200 to 250 USD tag. Pretty nice for a device from a big brand, don’t you think? You can check out other Nokia phone here or some news about the company for the upcoming NOKIA Phones COMEBACK in 2016.
In the smartphone market, Sony has always had their name mentioned when it comes to premium camera sensors. At IFA 2015 just several days ago, Sony wowed the whole expo by launching a 23 MP Exmor RS sensor for their latest Xperia Z5 smartphone.
We bet many of you are very curious about how pictures taken by a 23MP sensor with super fast 0.03s auto focus are like. To provide you with a fuller picture of Sony Xperia Z5 camera, we have here real pictures in comparison: Sony Xperia Z5 vs 4 other cameraphone flagships: iPhone 6 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S6, Sony Xperia Z3 and LG G4

Quick review about Sony Xperia Z5 vs Xperia Z3 vs iPhone 6 Plus vs Galaxy S6 vs LG G4
Sony Xperia Z5 comes with three variants: the Z5 Compact, Z5 and Z5 Premium. However, some news circulating online have suggested that Sony will out another variant based on Sony Xperia Z5 Premium, called Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Premium. The name suggest it is a compact version of Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. Moreover, guess what? It comes with a huge 4GB RAM.
According to the rumored specs, Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Premium display is 4.6”. However, the resolution will be downgraded, resulting in a FHD screen. You won’t get 4k display for this version, but hey, you get an upgrade in RAM.
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Premium boasts a huge 4GB RAM, much like its Z5 Premium brother. However, Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Premium battery is only 2900mAh. Still, it is 200mAh larger than that of Z5 Compact.
Sony Xperia Z5 family will likely have more members
Hopefully, Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Premium camera will be a 23MP sensor. This is almost the most notable feature on Sony Xperia Z5 variants. Moreover, its hybrid autofocus with the incredible speed of 0.03 seconds will totally win any camera battle.
We do not know Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Premium release date and pricing yet. However, by looking at how much the original Z5 costs, we guess Sony Xperia Z5 Compact Premium price in Philippines will be around PHP 30k. Not cheap, but relatively reasonable for a Sony flagship. Moreover, let us hope that the phone will not be an exclusive in Japan.
On September 3rd, at IFA 2015, Sony officially outed their latest Sony Xperia Z5 series. People have been excited about the Xperia Z5 specs they got to know until Sony unveiled their Xperia Z5 price tags as well as the other variants.
Sony Xperia Z5 price at launch date
Originally at IFA, here are Sony Xperia Z5 price, Xperia Z5 Premium price and Xperia Z5 Compact price as announced:
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium: £699 (around PHP 50K)
Sony Xperia Z5: £599 (around PHP 43K)
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact: £549 (around PHP 40K)
Yes, we believe you have had your own reactions and opinions about those price tags and hefty money. We have heard the public responses also. And so has Sony.
In other to make a positive movement on that, the Japanese company has decided to cut the price of their latest flagships Xperia Z5 series, just 3 days after the devices went on sale. We guess it’s time Sony realized no matter how awesome their smartphones could be, pricing will always be one important factor to push sales. Especially when we are having so many favorable choices for a very friendly budget: PHP 10K, PHP 15K and so on.
Sony Xperia Z5 price – 3 days later
Let’s go into details to see how much these Sony Xperia Z5 series price get their discount.
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium: £629 (around PHP 45K)
Sony Xperia Z5: £549 (around PHP 40K)
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact: £429 (around PHP 31K)
Based on the before-after price comparison, it is clearly to see that each device in the series gets at least a PHP 3K discount and up to PHP 9K. With these adjusted Xperia Z5 price, will it be more likely for Sony to sell more units of their latest flagships?? (We also wonder if they will keep going down 🙂 )
What do you think about the new Sony Xperia Z5 price after discount? Would you considering buying their first-in-the-world 4K display or rather pick a more budget smartphone instead?
Xiaomi Mi 5, the flagship that you have been waiting for almost a year, will be released soon. According to Xiaomi Mi 5 leak teaser, which surfaced online not too long ago, Xiaomi will hold its annual conference and announce the phone. Moreover, Xiaomi Mi 5 leak teaser also hints at fingerprint sensor. It seems fingerprint sensor has become the hype nowadays.
Although it has been one year since Xiaomi Mi 4 was released, Xiaomi Mi 5 is not out yet. People who are pleased with how Xiaomi Mi 4 performs certainly cannot wait for the new Xiaomi flagship.
It turns out that Xiaomi Mi 5 will not sport Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 if it is to release this year. However, as Sony seemingly solves the heating problems on Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with Xperia Z5, Xiaomi Mi 5 will likely do well with this chip too.
Xiaomi Mi 5 scores more than 73k on Antutu with rumour Snapdragon 820 or Helio X20
Whatever chipset Xiaomi Mi 5 sports, we know for sure it will be a good choice. Not only does the device has 4GB RAM, but it also has large internal storage of either 16 or 64GB.
Xiaomi Mi 5 display is a 5.2” QHD with high pixel density. Xiaomi Mi 5 leak also shows that Xiaomi Mi 5 battery is a 3030mAh one.
Xiaomi Mi 5 camera is a 16MP sensor, the same as what we find on Samsung Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6.
Xiaomi Mi 5 release date should be around the corner soon, since 2015 is coming to its Q4 already. We guess Xiaomi will unveil the phone in October or November. Xiaomi Mi 4 price is 15k , so Xiaomi Mi 5 price in Philippines should be around that range: PHP 15k – 18k.
Sony caught huge attention from IFA 2015 held in Berlin, Germany yesterday for announcing their 3 latest devices: The Xperia Z5, Xperia Z5 Compact and Xperia Z5 Premium. It was already very noticeable since the first information about the Xperia Z5 specs was spotted. In addition, prior to the big show IFA, we shared a leaking video clip of the Xperia Z5 Premium with very appealing design.
As the brand new Sony Xperia smartphone series were announced, we got to know finalized specs from them. Some we would like to emphasize is the Xperia Z5 camera with 23MP sensor and super fast 0.3s auto focus. The Xperia Z5 Premium is another vedette which features the first 4K display on a smartphone ever.
Awesome as they may seem, we are afraid Sony has forgotten that after all, users are very realistic and their first concern will always be the price tag. The 4K display Sony Xperia Z5 Premium price in Europe is a hefty £699, which is equivalent to PHP 50,000. If you are cool with FHD display, then the Xperia Z5 is there with a slightly “more friendly” price tag of £600 (around PHP 43K) and the Xperia Z5 compact is priced at £549 (PHP 40K).
Wow, money, Wow. We know that Sony is such a huge brand and they are offering very extraordinary specs this time for their new Xperia series smartphones. However, PHP 50K for a smartphone? I really don’t think it is a good choice for many of us. Would you rather pay a hefty check for a handset or get a less premium one with a much more affordable price?
How much are you willing to pay for a smartphone? And what specs do you want to buy the most? Your other concerns? If you share with us either here or on our fanpage, it is very likely that we will feature your suggestion on our blog to help you make better choice before buying.
According to our latest reports Nokia is releasing several new Nokia Smartphones early next year. From the Nokia Power Ranger as the high-end smartphone, to Nokia E1 as a midranger these are the Best Nokia Smartphones….
1. Nokia E1 – Winner of Design
The Nokia E1 is such a unique one with has a totally different design and has zero relation with any Lumia devices. Running Android should be the best decision Nokia can make with the next device, so our question for now is whether they will go with the popular Lollipop 5.0 or newly launched Marshmallow 6.0. Especially the Nokia E1 Price of under 250 USD will be interesting for many Nokia fans. The Nokia E1 boasts a fully laminated zero air gap display, with a 4.95 inch diagonal and Full HD resolution. Other Nokia E1 Specs will include a 2.3GHz Intel 64-bit Atom processor, PowerVR G6430 graphics, and a 4.95-inch Full HD IPS display. In addition, 2GB/3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a 2900 mAh battery. As for the camera, a 20MP rear Pureview and 5MP front-facing shooter.
Samsung has listed a flip phone model on its official site not so long ago, called SM-G9198. The Samsung SM-G9198 flip phone looks actually great in real life photos. Moreover, it has great specs despite its “old” design type. We did an article on the flip smart phone before, but it was only with render and commercial site photos. This time, we bring you Samsung SM-G9198 live images, to see how good it really is.
Samsung SM-G9198 specs
Samsung SM-G9198 display is a 3.9” AMOLED screen, which has become a Samsung’s trademark. As you can see in the photo above, the display is enough for the most basic operations. Moreover, it also sports Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for protection, something even high end smart phones, like a Sony Xperia, do not have.
Samsung SM-G9198 is power by Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 and 2GB RAM. It also gives you 16GB of internal storage to use, and an extra 128GB if you use microSD card. Samsung SM-G9198 battery is a 2020mAh one, which is large for a flip smart phone. Moreover, it is a removable battery, so there is no need to worry about power lacking.
Samsung SM-G9198 camera is a HUGE 16MP sensor, which rivals even the camera on Samsung’s flagship – Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Not only will you have a nicely designed phone, but also a great snapper as well.
Additionally, Samsung SM-G9198 camera has a 6MP front sensor, which is even better for those who would want to take good selfies.
Until now there is no word on Samsung SM-G9198 release date. However, we guess Samsung SM-G9198 price in the Philippines will be around PHP 15k when it comes here.
