“Too often, mid-tier phones sacrifice overall usability in order to include that one killer feature,” said Juno Cho, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company.

Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is such a flagship that is loved in so many international markets. The device was introduced earlier in MWC in Barcelona, Spain. After super long wait, finally, Sony Philippines has launched the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua to our local market.
The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua official price in PH is really attractive for such a popular flagship: PHP 14,490. Users can now find the device in some Sony stores and hopefully it will hit the shelves of some of our favorite online disributors soon.
When we first got to know about the M4 Aqua and all it had to offer, we expected it will be cheaper than the HTC One Mini 2 but more expensive than the popular Huawei Honor 6. Now Sony officially announced the M4 Aqua price in PH, with only PHP 14,490, it turned out to be cheaper than both. The Sony Xperia M4 Aqua even has similar specs to the more expensive Samsung Galaxy A5.
In terms of Sony Xperia M4 Aqua specs, it is pretty powerful. It is backed by a 64 bit, octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor and 2GB of RAM. As we collected reviews from users around the world who had experienced the handset, Sony Xperia M4 Aqua, unlike the Xperia Z3 and Z4, has not been reported with severe overheating problems. Users say it will become warm/slightly hot sometimes, but if you pour some water on the back, it will become good again. Also, Sony promised to provide solutions soon.
Sony featured really nice design for this M4 Aqua also. The smartphone comes with a super slim body that looks elegant and premium in your hands. The most interesting thing about this beast is that it looks like a high-end smartphone and carries a mid-end price tag.
Talking about Sony Xperia M4 Aqua cameras, it is another babe from Sony which has really good sensors that work well even under low light conditions. The only thing to notice is that, similar to other Sony Xperia smartphones, it takes several seconds to start and get focus for the subject. But once you capture, the pictures will always look great whether it is a selfie or a landscape.
Just months ago, we were so surprised when the Lenovo K80 came with with huge 4,000 mAH. Nowadays, it is still impressive for a smartphone to have that much battery capacity. However, we started to witness more and more devices with up to even 6,000 mAH. This new rumored UleFone Power is a strong example.
Leakings about the phone started earlier in July. But only until today did we get some information about the UleFone Power specifications beside the attractive 6,200 mAH battery.
Looking at the shared renders, we spotted a pretty decent design with metal frame and back cover. Although the huge battery requires a thicker body to contain it, the phone still looks nice and decent in terms of appearance.
Talking about Ulefone Power specs, we can totally expect a powerful 3GB of RAM and 16GB built in storage. Ulefone Power is not surprising but is also above-average compared to smartphones nowadays, packing 13MP and 8MP camera sensors. The whole device comes in a 5.5’’ display with a resolution of 1920×1080.
Ulefone is a Chinese company whose is well-known for producing budget flagships. According to our source, this Ulefone Power price will continue the tradition, coming at around USD 209.99. This means, the Ulefone Power price in PH, at release date, can join the sub PHP 10K market. Reports also suggest a processor of either 1.7GHz MTK6752 or 1.3Ghz MTK6753 to power the device.

Isn’t it exciting to see better and better smartphones coming to our market with good price and so attractive specs? Do you think you will want this bae from Ulefone?
Do you still remember the time when HTC One M9 was launch and carried so much expectation from the company to create a hit in terms of sales? However, the device did not seem to perform so well, if we don’t have to say it was a failure of HTC. Since then, the company struggled to improve their business with many new flagships released and rumored like the HTC New Hero product which is said to pack Windows 10 OS .
Recently, the company is attempting to introduce a new flagship smartphone: HTC Aero.
HTC Aero featuring QHD Display
According to the rumors report sourced from HTC Vietnam – HTC Aero will sport a beautiful QHD resolution. However, the HTC Aero display size is still a mystery. Maybe HTC is still doing research to find out whether the public prefer handy phones with 5.0” display and smaller or bigger phablets of 5.5” above.
Considering previous products, the company already had some QHD smartphones, One M9+, One ME, together with Japan – only J Butterfly. These handsets come with 5.2 and 5.5” display. Let’s see how large the new guy will be.
HTC Aero packing Gorilla Glass 4
The new HTC handset, HTC Aero also equipped with Gorilla Glass 4 protection. This means the phone will be well protected. Users don’t have to worry much about having a broken screen or a scratched one because of some droping. In addition, the phone may pack 2.5D glass and promising an impressive design overall.
Above are some of the specs we spotted so far. But it seems interesting already and potential to become a hit in terms of design and display resolution. There was an previous rumor that the handset will come with “groundbreaking” camera. Then, the entail price is still a guess at the present.
By the way, we are hoping the flagship HTC Aero will bring back a spotlight for its market. The promising device is supposed to be launched later this year, in the year-end sale season.
Google is going to launch a new LG Google Nexus 5 smartphone in the later half of 2015. The rumored device is being called Nexus 5 (2015 version) and will be built by LG smartphone company again. However, according to recent reports on AndroidPit, “LG will build the upcoming Nexus smartphone, but it will be based on an unreleased prototype.”
This means, unlike the Nexus 4 (which looked similar to the Optimus G) and Nexus 5 (inspired by LG G2), this new Nexus 2015 will have a unique design that doesn’t copy any other phones in the market.
The report appears mostly at the same time with another report by Androidolice, suggeting that Google will “shake hands” with 2 companies to launch 2 new devices this year: Huawei Nexus and LG Google Nexus 5.
Also according to our sources, the LG Google Nexus 5, with a codename Bullhead will feature a 5.2” screen, much smaller than its fellow Huawei Nexus, whose codename is Angler with 5.7” display.
For now, we are expecting the dual to come to the market in around October 2015, at the same release time of the Android M.

If you are alreadly fed up with the iOS smartphones which present you limited options for customization or you just simply fancy experiencing an Android smartphone , then, the upcoming OnePlus 2 updated with recent news and pictures would be one of the perfect choices.
OnePlus 2 updated news and pictures
At first glance, OnePlus 2 seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to its predecessor – OnePlus 1. However, the more attention you pay, the more mysteries you may discover in this new flagship. Specifically, the successor of OnePlus 1 will be loaded with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 810 v2.1 processor which, undoubtedly, will help it operate smoothly compared to its brother OnePlus 1 with a less powerful Qualcom Snapdragon 801 processor.
OnePlus 2 updated specs we know so far
Stayed behind that amazing 810 processor, scientifically dubbed as the driving force of OnePlus 2 updated, what makes it even more spetacular in the eyes of customers is the Adreno 430 GPU giving them a chance to enjoy 3D gaming. On top of that, the forthcoming OnePlus 2 also allows buyers to stream 4K Ultra HD video, taking quick photos with just a short snap.
OnePlus 2 updated will become cooler than ever, according to OnePlus CEO, because the expected OnePlus 2 price in Philippines will be under PHP 20,000.
Apparently, this is a quite reasonable price for a quality and superior smartphone.
Missing Apple Iphones? I am afraid that this is an impossibility thanks to the fingerprint sensor kindly detached to OnePlus 2’s body that features a 5.5 “display with the protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Should you dare give OnePlus 2 a try, you may no longer feel nostalgic for the Apple iconic smartphones. It’s time to head for something innovative!
There is an interesting video launched by Elephone showing their Elephone P8000 running side by side with the famous flagship Meizu MX5. Not many people may know that, but Elephone just took Meizu’s latest Flyme OS for their P8000 and now put both phones into a race.
So, if we have to make a comparison, the Elephone P8000 vs Meizu MX5 already have the first specs in similar: Flyme 4.5 OS. However, other features like Meizu MX5 vs Elephone P8000 design and hardware are not in the same league with each other.
In terms of Meizu MX5 vs Elephone P8000 design, while the MX5 has an alloy unibody, the P8000 rear panel is removable. And the Meizu MX5 battery only packs an above-average 3,150 mAH,while the Elephone P8000 wins one point with high-end 4,200 mAH capacity.
Let’s take a look at our Meizu MX5 vs Elephone P8000 specs comparison
Meizu MX5 vs Elephone P8000 performance comparison
Here are some of our thoughts about the video before you decide to watch it or not:
– It is quite an odd comparison since the name of the Meizu MX5 itself is being really popular in the market today.
– The Meizu MX5 display looks beautiful in the video.
– One of the problems Meizu really needs to solve is the over heating of devices. This MX5 is not an exception while the Elephone P800 doesn’t seem to have that.
– The Elephone P8000 has a much better battery than the Meizu MX5
– The Elephone P8000 price in PH is around PHP 10K while the Meizu MX5 price is much higher, expected from 15K for basic version.
