Hosan have introduced their new flagship and the phone looks incredible smartphone. Its stylish is going with a glass font and rear panels bonded to an all alloy chassis and be available in black, blue or gold.

The outstanding thing of the phone compared to other recent smartphone seemingly belongs to a new H-Frame nano-injection technology. Therefore, Hosan announced that the alloy body of the Hosan S7 is 30% more rigid than most of traditional ally chassis design. The company also claimed that the bezel of the phone is just 2mm but without affecting the strength of the structure.

The phone, somehow, reminds us a little bit of the Apple iPhone 6 in design. The phone comes with a 5.5″ 1080p display and also offer a comfort feeling even when using only one hand thanks to the a power button on top and a volume rocker at the right side top.

Camera-specs, the phone reports a couple of 8MP front-facing and 13MP main camera along with a single LED flash. The camera was created by the same manufacturer with Apple.

Under the hood, the Hosan S7 reportedly arrives with an octacore 64bit Mediatek processor in general. The company still don’t reveal specific thing of the chip so far. They confirmed that the phone will support 13 frequencies, LTE, 3G and 2G (dual SIM), full 3GB of RAM on board and runs on Android 4.4.4 without issue.

The phone also features a quite good 3,000 mAh of battery capacity and adding to a fast chare function that only takes 30 minutes for 51% battery.

For the most critical thing, the phone will hit the shelves in China this month with a price tag of 1999 Yuan (PHP 14562). To be honest, the price range are a slightly pricey but considering the design and detail, the device could be worthy. The phone was only launched in China, no other idea for global market.

Lenovo has recently introduced many impressive phones to the market. Most of newly-launched Lenovo’s devices are focusing on enduring battery as the most outstanding feature compared to mostly other smartphones nowadays.

It seems that this time Lenovo wanna other P series device – Lenovo P70t but the phone, naturally will be highlighted one compared to its previous siblings in P series range.

The Lenovo P70t is closer to the majority of smartphone users. The phone is shipped with a humble price and a powerful specs. The Chinese OEM company even reduce the price to CNY1069/PHP 7751 in China. The phone will be available in basic hues like: White and Black. We guess that will all of Lenovo fans, you will really glad to hear the news well. Nothing is better than owning a high-quality products with budget-friendly price.

Specs-wise, as you said before, the most highlight of Lenovo P70t is powerful battery capacity. The phone, therefore, will pack 4,000 mAh battery in the device which is the same spec with the Lenovo K3 Note. It can survive up to 46 days usage without charging,  in standby mode, which means it can even last longer in power saving mode.

The phone is powered by MT6732 64-bit quad-core LTE processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 1GB RAM and 8GB of storage built-in (expandable via microSD card). On the front lies a 5-inch 720p OGS display and a 5MP facing camera while the back appears a 13MP rear camera. The Lenovo P70t supports dual SIM, 3G, 4G connectivities as well as GSM network.

Well, finally the new HTC One M9 Plus comes with us officially. Earlier, HTC held on an event in Beijing China and launch the latest HTC One M9+, a larger M9-lookalike with a couple of key distinctive features.

As its appearance suggests, most of the previous rumors and leaks seem to turn out true. The phone comes with 5.2-inch Quad HD LCD display (2560 x 1440) instead of 5.5-inch. The HTC One M9+ is now the second QHD HTC device, alongside with HTC One E9+.

Under the hood, the HTC One M9+ packs a 64-bit MediaTek Helio X10 (MT6795T) processor, with eight Cortex A53 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and integrated LTE, as well as 3GB of RAM.

In terms of HTC One M9 Plus design, it looks more or less similar to the HTC One M9. Both ship with silver/golden tone casing and have similar styling. However, it’s not difficult to distinguish them thanks to two huge different elements: the fingerprint sensor on the front and the Duo Camera on the back.

The One M9 Plus camera will feature Duo Snapper of 20MP primary shooter and 4MP Ultra Pixel selfie camera.  While the main lens is of high quality, the front-facing counterpart is not that impressive.

HTC One M9 Plus launch date has not been revealed yet. Although there is a possibility that the device remains exclusively for China, let’s hope it will arrive in your place soon. What do you think should be good for HTC One M9 Plus price in Philippines?

We had some first imagination, specs as well as some renders of the next generation of the OnePlus One. While we expect the phone will come someday in the third quter of the year, it seems that we have to wait for a longer time.

According to OnePlus CEO who posted on his Weibo account today that he believes that the OnePlus One can still be popular for the second half of the year.

From that, we can think that the possible reason why the OnePlus Two will be delayed due to the company belives that the OnePlus One is still one of the hottest phones nowadays or even the half year of 2015.

Considering from the post, probably following Business Insider, OnePlus One is now on the eighth position of “the most popular device in the world”, chasing some other luxurious iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 4, HTC One M9 and Motorola X.

From other previous reports, the OnePlus Two is expected to pack the latest Snapdragon 810, laser FingerPrint Sensor and QHD display. Instead, it might end up using still-unannounced next-generation chips from Qualcomm. There also keep the possibility that the company has decided to go with competing chipsets from the likes of MediaTek or Intel but that’s unlikely.

Some renders of the OnePlus Two

Moreover, the OnePlus Two will be probably shipped with a 5.5-inch QHD display. Under the hood, its phone is also rumored to report a 3,100mAh battery which is a small improvement compared to 3,000mAh in the OnePlus One.

If OnePlus plans to delay the OnePlus Two appearance to early next year, we could see something interestingly ahead. There will have a fierce competition between Xiaomi, Meizu and OnePlus with rumoredly upcoming Xiaomi Mi5, Meizu MX5 as well as OnePlus Two. We are excited about some amazing things during that part of the year.

Lenovo – one of the biggest Chinese OEM was unveiled the Lenovo A7000 at MWC 2015. While the phone is now still a hot cake with a high-quality sound in order to bring the best experience for users. Now, we see another Lenovo device, therein the phone will highly “better” than its aforementioned device. The handset is alleged mid-range Lenovo A7600-M spotted online along with outside design and some specific specs thanks to some leaked photos which probably came from its domestic market. Let’s explore the phone with us.

In term of specification, the A7600-M still remains some similar features on the A7000 but with better specs. The phone was claimed to pack a 5.5-inch HD (1080×720) display, 2GB RAM and 8GB of on-board storage, which can be expanded via microSD card (no idea for limit storage). In addition to, the device is rumored to be powered by 1.5GHz MediaTek MT6752 octa-core processor pairing with a sufficient 3,000 mAh battery which is a slightly ligher than 2,900 mAh on the A7000. The device is indicated to run on Android 5.0 Lollipop pre-installed along with Lenovo Vibe’UI 2.5.

In term of Camera, needless to press a huge improvement here from 8MP sensor on the A7000 to a 13MP camera in its rear of the device which definitely delivers higher quality photos and videos. Unfortunately, the company remain the 5MP resolution for the front camera.

In term of Design, it’s not difficult to see that both the back and the front are covered by plastic with a metal band in-between. One difference compared to the A7000 is that the power and the volume buttons, which are also in metal, are located in the right side of the handset. From the images so far, we can guess that the phone are at the same thickness with the A7000. Its device also supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, GPS/ A-GPS and Bluetooth.

The launch date, availability or the price of the phone are yet unknown. However, considering the “M” in the name, the smartphone possibly be region-specific.

If rumors are reliable, we will see the phone soon. Stay tuned and we’ll dig more information.

Before, we hoped that the new HTC One M9+ will be launched alongside the HTC One M9 which was officially released during MWC 2015 last month but it seems that the Korean company delayed its arrival. Besides, some recent rumors claimed that it will come to the light today in HTC’s press event, according to @upleaks Twitter Account.

The phone is expectantly unveiled in China with color options like silver/gold and gold.

The phone, according to previous sources, no doubt, will be packing a 5.2-inch display quad HD resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels. Under the hood of the HTC One M9+ reports the MediaTek MT6795 chipset 64-bit octa-core processor along with PowerVR G6200 Rogue graphics. The chipset will be supporting by 3 GB of RAM.

The storage built-in of the HTC One M9+ is 32 GB out of which only 23 GB will be available to the user. It keeps a 20 MP primary camera as well as s a 13 MP camera for snapping high quality selfies. Moreover, the phone also packs a fingerprint sensor under the Home button and probably preloaded with Android 5.0 Lollipop along with Sense 7.0 UI.

However, until now, that’s all what we know so far, not mentioning anything about the price tag as well as the launch date. The phone of course will be set at a higher cost than the newly-launched HTC One M9 (Now roughly 649 USD/ PHP 28800).

Some speculation said that the phone will be powered by MediaTek in Asia Market and Snapdragon 810 chipset model that will be available in the U.S.

This month will probably be one of the busiest months in technology so far this year in 2015. Especially when LG is going to schedule an event for later this month to introduce the upcoming G4 flagship smartphone. Before, we gave you an alleged invitation of LG in which the company unveiled some first basic things. But now, something are more specific appearing with us.

After one week from the first revealed invitation, LG has officially introduced about events G4 phone on April 28th as the upcoming event. While the first teaser we only see a leather screen and some detail such as the launch date, the slogan in order to emphasize the outstanding of the phone so far. This new teaser said that the phone will come with a lens camera with aperture f / 1.8, dual flash with two tones, sensors laser focus included.  Needless to say,  this might be a highligh of the G4. Theoretically, in comparison with the f/1.9 lens on the Samsung Galaxy S6, images taken by G4 will have 11% more light in low light condition.

The circular power button on G3 was replaced by the rectangle button on G4. Especially what makes us curious about the phone is the brown color leather located in the invitation.

Before, LG unveiled something about the upcoming event which will hold on various cities over the world, such as: New York, London, Paris, Seoul, Singapore, và Istanbul. The detail of the specific time and location will be announced officially depending on each place.

LG G4’s promo video

https://youtu.be/yZdWPqpVbEk

In addition to, LG also unveil their video clip to introduce UX4.0 interface, a few updates of graphics and some advancements.

Which features will can expect in the LG G4?

Hardware, the phone will possibly feature something similar to its predecessor LG G3 with a laser autofocus camera sensor, a dual LED flash.

From the previous teaser, the new G4 should radically different than any devices that came before. So, we also might see metal panel in G4 or not, not for sure. There will have a microSD card slot for expandable storage though all the way up to 128GB. And the storage built-in will start at 32GB.

The display will be equipped with a 5.5-inch Quad HD LCD display with a resolution of 1440 x 2560 and it will represent a quantum jump in terms of key features including color gamut, brightness, contrast ratio, touch functionality, power consumption and thinness. The LG G4 will also support a couple of 16MP main camera and also be an 8MP front-facing camera in device.

Performance, the LG G4 will pack a Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor with 3GB of RAM. The reason why LG choose Snapdragon 808 instead of Snapdragon 810 may due to their concerning about the overheating issues with the Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor. However, the processor is actually not as powerful as the Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor but that doesn’t mean it’s no slouch. The phone also comes with 3GB of RAM and also the Adreno 418 GPU.

The time flys slowly for those who are waiting for the Sony Xperia Z4. We have been seen many leaked photos of the phone surfaced online though, most of them are not really clear. But now, it seems that we are having the official photos of the phone well.

The source of the leaked images should come from South Korea thanks to the icon name on the phone. From that, we can see that the Z4 looks very similar to the previous flagship – the Sony Xperia Z3 – however, the edges and corners looks slightly rounder. Let discover it, shot-by-shot.

In this picture, we can see that it seems Sony decided to replace the physical circle “home” navigational button with the traditional home icon. At the top left corner, a charging LED can be seen.

From the right side of the device, it’s the power button, which looks slightly off-center. Below it the volume toggle, and at the bottom, a dedicated camera key.

If previous reports are believable the Z4 will pack a 5.1-inch 1080p screen and will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor clocked at 1.9GHz, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage built-in. The Z3’s successor will also maintain the same 20-megapixel camera at the back and 5-megapixel selfie camera in the front. However, there are no idea about the device’s battery cappacity so far but the Z4 also reportedly come with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box.

Actually the phone was expected to come at MWC 2015 last month but it didn’t. The words of official launch date is also not mentioned but we hope that the device will come with us someday in summer.

The Ulefone Be Pro was released earlier this year and received many attention thanks to its build quality, solid mid-range specification as well as an affordable price.

The phone was known as a “perfect clone” of successful OnePlus One and Oppo Find 7 but much more impressive price and is positioned as a “4G 64 bit killer”.

The first video reveals the teaser of Firefly Mobile’s next handset which will be offered in Phi while the second one talks about the Ulefone Be Pro. Considering it to be a “killer” of similar-spec’d handsets it should be sold at a lower price tag than its peers.

In additionally, we heard the Ulefone are recruiting 100 Android 5.0 Lollipop beta testers. It seems that the company are speeding up the strategy. And we’re waiting for Android 5.0 Lollipop update in the near future.
