We have seen a ton of rumours, leaks, arounds the long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S6. As you might know or not, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be introduce at MWC in Barcelona on March 1st. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge might also announce along side the Galaxy S6 which is expected to come with a curved screen on both sides of the display.

Samsung has just unveiled in their official website in preparation for the launch next month. According to that, there are 2 different model: The SM-G920X and SM-G925X on their official Finnish and Swedish websites. Therefore, the G920X is presumably the Galaxy S6, and the SM-G925X the Galaxy S6 Edge device. We have no other idea about its specific features of these, but at least, we heard that two upcoming handsets will be launch on March 1st in Barcelona during Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2015 event in MWC 2015 as well.

As previous leak so far, the Samsung Galaxy S6 will be packed a 5-inch or larger screen with a 1440 x 2560 resolution. Under the hood will be the octa-core Exynos 7420/Snapdragon 810 CPU with 3GB of RAM. As for the photography department, its phone probably report a 16 or 20-megapixel camera with OIS on back, and a 5MP or 8MP “selfie” shooter. Some rumours said that the Samsung Galaxy S6 will not be supported dust and water proof. But it just belongs to folks. 4G LTE connectivity is a given at this point, and we presume that this thing will support the Cat.10 LTE connectivity speeds. It also probably runs Android 5.0 Lollipop as well. So, keep your eyes on March 1st to exactly know about its official Samsung Galaxy S6. Start your countdown timer now.

Invitations are also sent, and their Unpacked event will commence at 18:30 local time (Barcelona). Besides that, we see some images of the Samsung Galaxy S6’s protective cases which is showing a rugged cover of its phone.

As you probably know, Meizu launch the Meizum1 Mini as a direct competitor of Xiaomi Redmi 2. Every thing seems finc except for 1GB of RAM. Needless to say, the release date of Xiaomi has just organised a few days before the m1 press conference. It was crafty move by Xiaomi. And all of things Meizu do is opting for a slightly higher resolution HD display!

Sounds unlucky for Meizu, but at least, we don’t need to worry too much about this anymore. Because the Meizu m1 Mini will be updated to 2GB of RAM and this new version was spotted in TENAA for network approval yesterday.

Meizu has just a lot of trying in improving their products. For specs-wise, the Meizu m1 Mini is packed 64bit processor, 2500mAh battery, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, 128GB SD support and now the option for 2GB RAM. Besides that, its phone will have another variant, FDD-LTE model in China as well, but we have right to look forward this new version in global market.

It seems that Gionee will launch the word’s thinnest phone at MWC. They said that at a press release today. The thinnest device is now Vivo X5 Max with a thickness of only 4.75mm thanks to a thinnest screen of 1.36 mm. So, it raise a question: if Gionee create a thinner phone than 4.75mm so what do the do with battery and hardware as well                                                                                             

Last year, Gionee held for a long time the title “the world’s thinnest phone” with the Gionee S5.1. It highly looks like they want to make it once again this year.

Just only see more carefully at Chinese smartphone market now, you can find that there is a fierce competition between Gionee, Oppo, Vivo and most recently IVVI (a sub brand of Coolpad) to take the title of “The word’s thinnest phone”. Gionee S5.1 (the fourth), Oppo R5 (the third), Vivo X5 Max (the second) are the specific products of them. And although Vivo now hold this position with 4.75mm Vivo X5 Max, however, 4.7mm phone of IVVI will go on sale soon.

Apple has just a amazing huge revenues thanks to 7.5 Million6 Apple iPhone were sold from October to December 2014. And the most outstanding products are Apple iPhone 6 as well as Apple iPhone Plus.

HTC’s Senior Global Online Communications Manager – Jeff Gordon said on Twitter, that he liked Apple and he is now using Macbook air, but he finf that iPhone is “terribly boring”. Further Gordon said Apple phones are “a boring, easy choice.” Moreover, Gordon desires “a phone that’s more unique, more personal, more stunning when I take it out of my pocket”.

As you probably know, the next generation of HTC M8 – allegedly call HTC M9 and HTC M9 Plus are upcoming phone and are expected to come at March 1st. So, we have more positive hope to look forward a new HTC phone with a high specs as their high raking Executive mentioned.

In additionally, very interesting, Gordan himself said that 2015 will the best HTC products ever including some “huge surprises” in earlier this year. So, it makes us more excited to see if there are really big surprises coming.

We provided you many rumors, leaked photos of upcoming HTC M9 as well as HTC M9 so far. From that sources, at least, we find that the HTC M9  might not look too much different from the M8. So, it seems that we can expect another new HTC phones. As you know, the HTC A55 – a mid-range device with many high specs might be another Hotseller Candidate, but it looks like not the mentioned phone.

With official launch of Asus Zenfone 2 which promises to sell like hotcakes. It seems that Asus plans to enter their appearance in the Mobile Accessory Business. In more detail, Asus Zenpower 9600 mAh which is probably equivalent to 9600 mAh Powerbank will be released in the next time. To be honest, 9600 mAh is enough for your Zenfone 3 charging – 5 times. Its powerbank might be similar to some other recently available Powerbanks.

Taking a quick look at its pics, you can find many its colors. Beside that, the Asus Zenpower Bank has much more squared edges than the Xiaomi’s Power Bank. That’s not all though, while Asus use 3×3200 mAh, Xiaomi uses 4×2600 mAh in their Powerbank. So, apparently Asus uses higher capacity battery cells compared to Xiaomi. Its activity makes the Zenpower Bank is lighter and compacter than Xiaomi’s (ZenPower Bank 215g, 10400 MI Bank 250g). Not only that point, Asus has full size USB outputs, micro USB input, four LED indicators and a large power/status button.

Another outstanding thing, 11 layers of protection in their ZenPower Bank is better than Xiaomi’s 9 layers of Protection. Moreover, there are many different rubber cases for your changing in scratching your ZenPower Bank.

Finally, no official announcement for its pricing as well. Taking a comparison between Asus phone ans Xiaomi phone, we hope that Asus will set at a quitely same price as Xiaomi does. With a huge mount of Asus users now, we can be sure that it will be sold quickly. Thanks to Asus for their supporting in order to give the best experience for users. The ZenPower Bank will come with the Asus Brand, of course.

Do you wanna buy it?

Now more and more people, especially girls want to get a good phone for “selfie ambition”. Therefore, smartphone manufactures can not ignore people’s justifiable desire. So, it’s the reason why there are many available flagship smartphones for its purpose now.

Of course, the good rear camera is initial, but additioning a good secondary camera is much more amazing. Some phone even have a front-facing shooter is at the same MP as the main camera. Except for impressive selfie snapper, it is implemented wide angle lenses, a flash and editing tools in attempt to help you take the best selfie possible.

A lot of guys suggested us a list of top of the best flagship devices for “selfie”. As such there’s many good choices for the discerning selfie fan, but for easier decision, here are the best smartphones for selfies. To be honest, most of them are now availbale in store. And we’ll update more upcoming phones as well.

1. OPPO N1 (PHP 16,374)

The Oppo N1 is perhaps the best phone there is for taking selfies. Not only a good secondary cam but also a affordable price tag.

Its phone has 13MP main camera as well as 13MP front-facing camera also. Actually, its phone doesn’t have a separate selfie shooter as well, but what it does have though is a main camera which can swivel round to face the front. Its camera also has a dual-LED flash which radiates a softer light when positioned in the front-facing selfie mode.

In additionally, its phone has many scene options for you, such as: ‘Portrait’ and ‘Night’ and there’s even a ‘Beautify’.

2. HTC Desire Eye (PHP 20,300)

As its name, HTC Desire Eye is a good idea for you who wanna take the best photos ever. HTC Desire Eye is a phone which packs both 13 MP rear camera and 13 MP front-facing camera. So it should be as good for selfies as the Oppo N1. Its secondary camera also has a dual-LED flash, HDR mode and an autofocus.

For more attractive features, HTC Desire Eye is supported Split Capture, Crop-Me-In, Video Face Tracking and many good specs as well.

3. Huawei Ascend P7 (PHP 17,590)

Our third options is Huawei Ascend P7 with 8MP front cam sensor pales in comparison with the 13 MP main cam. Its phone was improved for higher secondary cam compared to 5MP front cam of Huawei Ascend P6.

It’s also capable of some detailed, high quality photos, so you’d better cover up those spots and blemishes because they’ll be clear as day in anything this thing snaps.

Unfortunately, there’s no flash, but at least it does have a ‘Face Beauty Mode’ which automatically removes wrinkles and imperfections.

4. Huawei Honor 3C (PHP 5,999)

Huawei Honor 3C has a good 5MP front-facing snapper, 8MP main camera and more interesting, at an impressive price tag. We find that its phone is the cheapest phone with a good front cam. So, if you want to own a good “selfie” phone and a reasonable cost. It’s your best choice.

5. Sony Xperia C3 (PHP 9,930)

Sony has so much confidence in the Xperia C3’s selfie-taking abilities that it’s the main thing it’s selling it on. Its phone arrives with a 5 megapixel front facing camera in combination with an LED flash. Actually, there are not many smartphones vendors create many megapixels in their front cameras and even fewer have a flash, so that’s a good start.

Its phone also be designed to omit a soft, flattering light as the above Oppo N1. Besides that, it does have a wide-angle lens, so no need to worry cuz you can fit more people into a shot. And all of things you need is “smile” thanks to the smile detection feature.

However if you want to use a button it has a hardware shutter button so there’s no need to jab at the screen to snap a photo.

6. Samsung Grand Prime (PHP 9,990)

Our next choice is Samsung Grand Prime. Its phone is priced at an attractive cost of PHP 9,990. As for photography department, its phone has 5MP for “selfie demand” and 8MP main cam.

“Galaxy Grand Prime opens a whole new world of premium mobile experience for consumers looking at uninterrupted entertainment and multi-tasking on-the-go. Introducing the new trend of ‘Groupfie’, Galaxy Grand Prime features an advanced wide angle front camera best-suited to capture group images. With the launch of this power packed smartphone, we are further strengthening our Grand portfolio”.

7. OnePlus One (PHP 15,490/16GB)

For “True flagship killer”, the OnePlus One although actually not as good as the rest of our list, but still at a quite competence. Its phone is reported a 5MP front-facing shooter and it can shoot 1080p video at 30fps as well, so it’s similarly good for video calls.

And although its phone doesn’t be packed much selfie tools that able to find in some rival phones, but there are a good editing and camera apps available from Google Play to fill in the gaps.

Its phone absolutely a worthy device and fit your purpose with high end specs, a large 5.5-inch screen as well as a good 13 megapixel main camera.

As you probably know, its phone is really “hard-to-find”. But now it’s much easier for you because of its availability in Phi.

8. Gionee Elife S5.5 (PHP 15,999)

Gionee Elife S5.5 was announced in Feb 2014 but it’s still a hot phone for “selfie” with 5MP/13MP for rear and front camera, respectively. The phone comes with a HDR mode for taking photos with greater detail, which also works pretty well.

The 5MP front camera is better than most cameras we’ve seen and should give you decent selfies and quality images in video calls.

9. HTC One M8 (PHP 20,450)

Frankly, HTC paid much their attention in taking great selfies. HTC One M8 comes with a highly capable front-facing camera. Its phone has 5MP front-facing cam.

Don’t stop at that. Like the Sony Xperia C3 it has a wide-angle lens so you can easily fit multiple people in a shot and it has a countdown timer so you can get your pose right before the photo is taken.

Once you’ve already taken a photo there are a bunch of tools you can play with to change your skin tone or smooth imperfections.

10. Lenovo Vibe Z K910 (PHP 21,050)

The Lenovo Vibe Z K910 has a skinny body, uber-crisp 5.5-inch FHD panel, 2GB of RAM under the hood along with a quad-core 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU.

Yet it carries them anyway, sporting 13 megapixels on the rear and 5 on the front, spiced up with add-ons like autofocus, LED flash, touch focus, face detection and an 84-degree wide-angle lens and FHD video recording respectively. Duckfaces have never been clearer. Just don’t forget to edit out all the pimples.

Finally, we hope that this list can be helpful for you. And if you want to add more, pls kindly tell us.

A lot is going on with OnePlus and their ROMs, we have seen Lollipop teasers and now an official announcement that SwiftKey will be adopted by the company.
