Gionee Elife E8: Made for shooting

Gionee Elife E8 caught consumers’ attention at the very 1st moment they heard about it. All thanks to rumors claiming that the device can produce pictures with spectacular 100 Mega-Pixels quality. Yes, you are reading it right! 100-mega-pixels-pictures. Consider to the fact that the handset may feature a 23 MP camera, the 100-mp-picture thing may seem unbelievable, even impossible! However, if you still remember the case of Oppo phones, with the support of camera software, some of them did create beautiful 51-mp pictures. Let’s say the Elife E8 can totally bring out the same result. Or even better.

YU Yuphoria design: “Miracle in Metal”

“Miracle in Metal” – (tagline of the Yuphoria)

Even with the price tag of only PHP 4,9k, Yuphoria appeared as an absolutely well-designed smartphone. For now, the flagship is almost the only one in the PHP sub 5k market that comes with a metal body. It also has a plastic rear case and battery which are both removable.

YU Yuphoria drawback

Attractive as it may seem, it is normal for a product to have some imperfections. Take the display for example, although the Yuphoria’s 720p display produces nice colors, its screen is highly reflective, which could be a problem when using under sunlight.

Xiaomi just recently released their most powerful device : the Mi Note Pro official in China.

To provide the best performance, Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and 4GB of RAM power the phone and help it run perfectly smooth. It comes with a huge 3090mAh battery and Quick Charge 2.0. You can charge up to 70% full in just one hour.

It features a generous 2.5D, 5.7” Sharp/Japan Display touchscreen and a metal uni-body. The ‘Sunlight Display’ technology is also applied in order to provide great visibility when using outdoor. All of those are wrapped in a 6.95mm thin glass body.

Mi Note Pro official

Mi Note Pro 3D glass rear protects the device better from damage. According to Xiaomi, the 3D glass may have some problems with overheating, but the company solved them by adding graphite cooling fins, and a special dissipating body shape to stronger resist.

The Mi Note Pro official camera is also a selling point of the device. Xiaomi packed their newest flagship with 13-mp, 6-element camera from Sony.

Nokia 150th anniversary: 10 quick facts about this Giant!

Yesterday, on May 12, 2014. Nokia – one of the first companies that brought cellphones to consumers all over the world, just turned 150. Yes, you are reading it right! 1-5-0 years had passed. And to celebrate this huge occasion as Nokia 150th anniversary, here are 10 quick facts about this Giant Guy that you may find interesting!

Nokia 150th anniversary: a long way to look back!

1. Nokia is a Finnish tech brand and its founder was Knut Fredrik Idestam.

2. Originally, Nokia was a paper mill in southern Finland set up 150 years ago, on May 12, 1865.

Nokia 150th anniversary: history has been made!

3. In 1987, Nokia phones started to gain some attention with the launch of its very 1st portable mobile – The Mobira Cityman. The Mobira Cityman weighed up to 800g and costed a fortune: 4,560 euros (~PHP 229,700). The phone had a nickname “Gorba” after the picture of Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev using it became famous.

4. The snake game of Nokia is probably one of the first and most popular games to play on mobile. If you still remember playing that game, feel nostalgic now 🙂

How many of us remember this?

5. Despite an enormous demand for everything smart at the time being, Nokia did so well with another BW ultra-basic phone: Nokia 1280. I bet many of us still have one of this right now.

Do you still use this?

6. With its long history, Nokia has the widest variety of phone models. From Nokia 150th anniversary looking back, the company had created quite a lot of uniquely weird devices. Some turned out successfully, some just died in silence. However, it’s the worthy price paid to build up the company’s name in the market, isn’t it?

Nokia 150th anniversary

7. In 2002, Nokia targeted to win over GameBoy on it huge amount of users. The company launched Nokia N-Gage, a 2-in-1 device: gaming player and mobile phone. Unfortunately, many gamers described it as “looking like a taco”. There have been highs and lows, right Nokia?

Taco or 2-in-1 gamer device?

8. The 5300 was recorded as the most popular (in terms of the number of items sold) of all the XpressMusic phones. This is a line of Nokia phones that was especially designed for music playback.

9. In 2004, Nokia came up with an interesting campaign, featuring Nokia’s Fashion Phone Line. From the line, the consumers had experienced Nokia 7280, aka the “lipstick”. The lipstick had black, white and red styling and a screen that turned into a mirror.

If there is a version of that phone nowadays, will you consider buying it, ladies?

Nokia 150th anniversary: changes encountered

10. In 2014, the Lumia Mobile Division of Nokia was sold to Microsoft. Many claimed that it marked an end of such legend in the mobile market. However, rumors have it said, the Giant will be getting back to the smartphone market in 2016 with more offering again in the future.

Lately, right before Nokia 150th anniversary, the Giant has been stirring up the internet again with rumors about a new flagship. People are searching for Nokia Power Ranger concept which carries 512Gb, 24.2 MP and 4GB RAM everywhere on the internet. This looks like a really positive sign. Let’s hope and wait for the return of a legend.
