Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 close-up

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 launch occurred not long ago and people were truly wowed by what the phone could do and its price. Yeah, maybe it is not the flagship Xiaomi Mi5 we have been waiting for, but to be honest we are so into the Note 3. It can give us what we thought was impossible: a powerful package of specs but a super affordable cost.

Basically, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 design is a all-alloy handset with 3 color options: Gold, Silver, and Dark Grey, bringing a feeling totally different from the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. On the back, you can see there is a fingerprint scanner placed right below the LED flash. Moreover, it enables you to unlock the smartphone very fast, in just 0.3s to be specific. However, the Note 3’s bezels and rounded corners are somewhat similar to many Chinese devices nowadays. Don’t you think?

You will just love it from the moment you see it on your hand, I bet!

Thirdly, Redmi Note 3 by Xiaomi has very strong built-in specs to power the whole handset: 2/3GB RAM, powerful Helio X10 chip set and a big 4000 mAH battery. Too good for a $140 handset, don’t you agree with me? Next, there is always that one key feature that guarantees the sales of a device. For Redmi Note 3, it is definitely the camera sensor: 13MP main camera with Sony sensor and a decent 5MP selfie. Smartphone camera is becoming more and more important, and Xiaomi just got it right!

Last but not least, with $140, you can already buy the latest MIUI 7 operating system – signature of Xiaomi smartphones, installed together with Android 5.0 OS. If this can be later updated into Android 6.0, it would be just more than awesome for any Mi lover! Are you convinced by the 5 reasons I just mentioned above? Is there any other you would love to add in?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 vs Lenovo Vibe X3: Things you need to know

Color White, Black Silver, Gold and Dark grey

Both of them were launched in November, 2015 and have been drawing a lot of people’s attention. Besides, they also have the same 5.5-inch Full HD screen and 3GB RAM, but other specifications are pretty different. Specifically, we will look at the chip, camera and battery. However, firstly, we can easily see that Lenovo Vibe X3 is a bit thicker and heavier than Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Anyhow, it won’t affect much the strength inside.

As for the chip, the Lenovo product uses a Snapdragon 808 processor which is also used in the flagship LG G4. Meanwhile, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 equips their machine with a MediaTek Helio X10 one which is usually chosen for many powerful handsets such as Meizu MX5, Elephone Vowney, etc. With these chipsets, your phones are definitely able to deliver smooth performances.

In terms of camera, we have to say Lenovo Vibe X3 is stronger than its competitor since it sports a combo of an up to 21MP rear and an 8MP front-facing snapper. Those who love taking photos will fall in love with the X3. On the other hand, the Note 3 has a common set of shooters including a 13MP and a 5MP cam, which seem good enough capture pics. Nonetheless, the Note 3’s battery is totally the winner. It is capable of 4,000mAh while the X3’s just has 3,600mAh (yet it is also a great number when compared with other smartphones on the market).

1. Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro or Xiaomi Mi5 or both

Recently, Xiaomi has released a teaser hinting that there will be two new smartphones to be launched on Wednesday, November 11, 2015. However, we do not know what the phones are but one of them is expected to be Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro (an advanced version of Xiaomi Redmi Note 2) or Xiaomi Mi5, or maybe both of them are going  to be introduced on Nov 11.

As for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Pro specs, it is rumored to come with 2 variants: one with a fingerprint sensor on the back and the other without a fingerprint sensor. Apart from that, generally Redmi Note 2 Pro will be built with a metal body and equipped with a 5.5-inch Full HD display, an octa-core MediaTek MT6795 SoC 2.2GHz chip, 2GB RAM, a 13MP rear and a 5MP front camera, and a 3,060mAh battery.

Meanwhile, if it is Xiaomi Mi5, it will boast an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 v2.1 SoC or Snapdragon 820 SoC processor. However, a report claimed that because of a delay in producing SD 820 chipsets, the company may opt for MediaTek deca-core Helio X20 one, instead. Other Xiaomi Mi5 specs can include 4GB RAM, a 5.3-inch Quad HD screen with 554ppi, 16/64GB of internal storage (non-expandable), a 16MP main shooter with a dual LED flash, and a 3,030mAh battery.

2. QiKU Terra

4 + 5. Samsung Galaxy On7 and Galaxy On5

Specs wise, Samsung Galaxy On7 features a 5.5-inch HD screen, 13MP and 5MP cameras, and a decent 3,000 mAH. Moreover, it also packs a dual SIM, 4G LTE, a 1.2GHz Exynos 3475 quad-core processor, 1.5GB RAM plus 8GB of storage (expandable up to 128GB).

6. Huawei Mate 8

Huawei Mate 8 is having too much attention even though it has only been rumored to launch some time this Q4 2015, probably November. The beast became popular ever since Huawei claimed that, the Kirin 950 they developed for this flagship is even stronger than Exynos 7420 by Samsung and Snapdragon 820 by Qualcomm.

7. Doogee T6

Chinese smartphone producer is expecting to launch a battery beast in late November or early December this year, 2015. Before Doogee T6, there have been some other handsets equipped with big batteries such as Doogee Homtom HT6 (sporting a 6,250mAh batt) and Doogee S6000 (having a 6,000mAh one).

Top Android smartphones to launch in November: 6GB RAM, 6K mah cell

Well, those are the Android smartphones to be launched this November, 2015! They all have good specifications and design, but which one do you like best? Share with us your opinions.

Xiaomi Mi4c: 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 808 scored up to 57,899 Antutu points

We have heard about Xiaomi Mi4c for a while and now, you do not have to wait any longer since the Xiaomi Mi4c launch happened, introducing a smartphone with powerful specs and a cool price for consumers. Check it out!

Some people think that releasing Xiaomi Mi4c at this point in time is not really a wise choice of the company because it will have to compete with other premium flagships from big brands. However, some others agree that Xiaomi will have good sales of Xiaomi Mi4c as most buyers still want something affordable but strong. And it seems like Xiaomi Mi4c can do that.

Specifically, Xiaomi Mi4c specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chip which is also the kind used for the flagship LG G4, GPU 418, 2GB RAM and 16GB or 32GB of internal storage. In addition, there are a 5-inch Full HD screen with super thin bezels, a combo of 13MP Sony IMX258 rear and 5MP front camera, 4G LTE support, dual SIM support and a USB Type-C port.

Thanks to this package of specifications, the new machine of Xiaomi was able to get 57,899 Antutu points, more than Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Antutu points announced not long ago.

As we know that Xiaomi has just introduced a new operating system known as Xiaomi MIUI 7 recently, now it will definitely appear on the Xiaomi Mi4c and be based on Android 5.1 Lollipop OS. In terms of apps, Mi4c has an interesting function called “Edge Tap”. With Edge Tap, both Mi4c’s borders will be able to response to light touches, which extend the interaction between users and the handset.

Xiaomi Mi4c will be sold out with 5 options over the color: black, blue, yellow, pink and white. The version coming with 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM will cost $204 (around PHP 10K as the Xiaomi Mi4c price in Philippines) and $235 (PHP 11K) for the 3GB RAM plus 32GB ROM ver. Don’t you think they are attractive prices for a phone like Xiaomi Mi4c?

In conclusion, we hope that Xiaomi Philippines will bring the Xiaomi Mi4c here soon since its specs are so good if compared to such friendly-budget prices.

Xiaomi Laptop confirmed, to launch 2016: 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD

Earlier rumors have suggested that, Xiaomi is trying to expand their product lines, planning their first laptop in 2016. Recently, Inventec, a Taiwanese manufacturing company has unveiled that they have started working on the Xiaomi Laptop.

Richard Lee, present CEO of Inventec, had an interview with the press and stated that his company is developing the first ever Xiaomi-made laptop, which is expected to be launched during the very first quarter of 2016. As a business partner, Lee shared that this movement is a very wise one, since Xiaomi is already growing strong in the smartphone industry with over 200 million users in and outside of China.

Xiaomi Laptop confirmed
Richard Lee – CEO of Inventec

All we know before about the Mi Laptop is just a leaked picture of a laptop device having the “Xiaomi” name on its screen. All we know up to now is still the same (:D) plus the confirmation from Inventec CEO.

Much supportive as Lee to the launching of this Xiaomi Laptop, he revealed that he is a bit concerned about the business strategy Xiaomi is planning this time. Usually, in order to be more competitive and attractive to users, Xiaomi will set a very affordable price and low revenue. Their target is to sell as many units as possible and gain more profits from selling accessories. Whether this would work with Xiaomi Laptop is still a question.

“I am not sure if the smartphone approach will be applicable to notebooks, but I expect Xiaomi’s entry into the notebook industry to bring something new to the market” – Richard Lee

Xiaomi laptop will, of course, run on Microsoft Windows as its default OS. However, Xiaomi may even launch the device with its own Linux-based OS. Like Android, Linux is much more easier to customized.

However, we already made our guessing about the upcoming device. We suppose Xiaomi laptop display will be a 15” screen at least. Xiaomi laptop may sport 500GB SSD internal storage. However, it would be nice if Xiaomi makes it for 1TB option. The device should have at least an Intel Core i5 as its processor. The last information we had included also 16GB RAM, but lets see on that part.

 

Huawei’s curved screen smartphone will sport a 2k AMOLED display?

Huawei, who just releases Huawei Mate S at IFA 2015, is reportedly said to be making a curved screen smart phone. And yes, we have been seeing the news since last month. However, this time, not only does Huawei make it a curved screen, but also equip it with 2K resolution. Moreover, the display is an AMOLED.

Huawei-logo Huawei’s working on a 2K AMOLED display with curved edges for smart phones?

If this is true, then we could expect this phone to be released in the first half of 2016. Imagine Huawei releases a curved screen smart phone with specs of a flagship, and rivals with Samsung’s Edge series! Moreover, as Xiaomi also has plans for an Edge smart phone, we will have more and more unique devices in the market sporting Samsung’s idea of a display.

samsung-galaxy-note-edge-photo-story-blade-1 It seems Samsung Galaxy Note Edge has made the trend for future smart phones!

Huawei does not give any information about the phone’s specs, or what size this display will be. However, as mobile manufacturers are competing with each other on every aspects, we expect the new phone will sport good hardware. For example, it needs at least of 4GB RAM and 5000mAH for such a 2k display.

Since Huawei has not launched any device with QHD resolution yet, we cannot say how good the phone will be. However, as Huawei is the 3rd largest mobile manufacturer now, the company may have boosted their products onto a better level. Many sources state that Huawei is planning to produce around 3 million units of curved screen phone. Galaxy-S6-edge-People-edge-update Therefore, we hope the phone will have a competitive price also.

Price Pony readers, what do you think about this? Will you buy a curved screen smart phone from Huawei? Or is Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ still the best in your heart? Leave us a comment.

Xiaomi Laptop: 15”, 16 GB RAM & 500GB SSD to come in 2016?

Xiaomi disclosed that they would introduce a new laptop next year. Of course, the rumor was way back, but it seems this time Xiaomi will certainly do it. According to the very reliable Bloomberg Financial News, Xiaomi may launch the laptop in the first quarter of 2016, to compete with Apple’s Macbook and other already popular laptop manufacturers in Asia such as Lenovo or Asus.

xiaomi-laptopXiaomi laptop will come in Q1 2016, a new rival to Apple’s Macbook?

Xiaomi nailed it with their smart phones, becoming a world famous brand after just 5 years. Therefore, there is nothing to stop them from making more devices. A laptop, which is necessary for work, is essential to bring up Xiaomi’s reputation. Moreover, to prevent other companies like Huawei or Meizu from taking its market share, a laptop is also a wise move.

Xiaomi does not announce any of the laptop’s specs. However, we suppose Xiaomi laptop display will be a 15” screen at least. Xiaomi laptop may sport 500GB SSD internal storage. However, it would be nice if Xiaomi makes it for 1TB option. The device should have at least an Intel Core i5 as its processor. The last information we had included also 16GB RAM, but lets see on that part.

maxresdefaultXiaomi laptop will, of course, run on Microsoft Windows as its default OS. However, Xiaomi may even launch the device with its own Linux-based OS. Like Android, Linux is much more easier to customized.

The laptop may feature aluminum alloy for its body. Xiaomi laptop price in Malaysia should be around RM 2000. As we have mentioned, Xiaomi laptop release date would be in Q1 2016. This seems rushed, but if Xiaomi wants to expand their market and sales, they can do it.

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.
