Some information about OnePlus 3 has shown up on the internet and you would find it interesting. It will come with up to 6GB of RAM and…

OnePlus 3 specs to contain 6GB RAM and handier display

If you remember, OnePlus 3 specs used to appear on Antutu benchmark about one month ago. A 5.5-inch Full HD screen, a Snapdragon 820 chipset, 4GB RAM, and 32GB ROM were mentioned. Additionally, the OnePlus 3 would also sport an 8MP front + 16MP rear camera combo and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS. No doubt those are excellent features for smartphones nowadays.

However, recently, the OP 3 has once again been spotted on other benchmark websites, GeekBench and GFXBench to be specific, showing some important differences you need to know. According to the GeekBench listing, there will be up to 6GB of RAM instead of 4GB under the hood to run the whole handset. In addition, the screen size is also changed from 5.5 inches into 5 inches. Then, it must be handier, right?! For the rest, the OP 3 still boasts Full HD resolution, a Snapdragon 820 processor, a 16MP + 8MP shooter set, and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS.

Well, OnePlus 3 with 6GB RAM will be awesome, yet you need to note that benchmarks can sometimes get things wrong. Furthermore, since the models are coded differently, “RAIN RAIN A3000” and “Rain A3000” as you can see, it is very likely that they are actually two variants of the OnePlus 3: one with 4GB RAM and the other with 6GB RAM.

OnePlus 3 price and availability

Anyhow, we still feel excited to welcome a new 6GB RAM machine from OnePlus. In case of 2 versions getting released, we guess the higher-end one can cost around $400 while the other is about $300. In terms of OnePlus 3 launch date, if the latest rumor is correct, the OP 3 will officially debut on May 28, 2016. Though, let’s wait a bit more for the firm’s announcement in the next weeks.

1. ASUS Z2 Poseidon

2016 is seeing a lot of 6GB RAM smartphones launched, but ASUS has not released any yet. They were the first to introduce a 4GB RAM handset in the world, so we really look forward to see what they will do with a 6GB RAM one. If it is this ASUS Z2 Poseidon or the ASUS Z1 Titan in the next page, we’ll become crazy.

In terms of ASUS Z2 Poseidon specs, its is said to sport a 6.0-inch Quad HD display, a new Intel chip (said to be a 2017 version), a 16MP rear + 5MP front camera set, up to 6GB RAM, and 256GB of internal memory. Besides, Android N OS and a massive 6,000mAh battery are also mentioned as what stay under the hood to run the whole machine.

Lenovo smartphones have been receiving much love and positive feedback from consumers over the past few years. Although they do not have many members joining the 4GB RAM handset battle nowadays, their 4GB RAM phones do impress people. And here they are!

1. Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro

Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro is the first 6GB RAM flagship in the house, coming with a beautiful alloy and glass combination design. The metallic frame stands between the glass pieces placed on the front and back, yet you still get gentle rear curves for your hands.

Spec-wise, the ZUK Z2 Pro packs a 5.2-inch Full HD AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 820 chipset, a decent 3,100mAh battery supported by Quick Charge 3.0 tech, and Android Marshmallow OS out of the box.

ASUS Z1 Titan and Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro are two 6GB RAM beasts by two of our favorite smartphone makers of all time. Both of them feature very impressive hardware with beautiful designs and…

ASUS Z1 Titan VS Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro: 6GB RAM beasts

The first thing we can notice immediately about these guys is that each of them represents the best reputation of its own company. However, we guess the Z1 Titan is somehow more outstanding in terms of appearance due to looking like a gaming smartphone. Yet, if you’re seeking an elegant handset, Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro can be more suitable.

Apart from 6GB of RAM, it seems like ASUS Z1 Titan specs and Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro specs are very different. While the Z1 Titan is said to feature a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED 2K screen, the Z2 Pro just comes with a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display. Obviously the ASUS phone is better at this point. Moreover, it also beats the rival at processor, battery, ROM capacity, and rear camera: SD830 chip vs SD820 chip, 3,500mAh vs 3,100mAh, 256GB vs 128GB, and 16MP vs 13MP. Though, the ZUK machine does have one thing that is more excellent than the Titan. It is its 8MP selfie snapper.

In general, both ASUS Z1 Titan and Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro great models. Nonetheless, if there must be a winner, we have to say the Z1 Titan is the one.

ASUS Z1 Titan VS Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro: Price and availability

Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro launch happened not long ago, revealing Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro price to be $420. It is not a very affordable tag but a reasonable one, rite?! As for ASUS Z1 Titan price as well as its release date, no word has been made. Hopefully more information will come soon!

Nokia is still famous phonemaker producing high-quality mobiles, with very affordable prices. Many people expect Nokia will make a comeback soon with its new flagship smartphones. To help you get excited, here are the new Nokia smartphones 2016 to expect…

1. Nokia E1 – Expected Design.

However, many people expect it will come with great design and affordable price.

Samsung is still number one in the world of mobile makers. Some statistics have been reported, showing how strong and stable Samsung is…

Samsung to top the “Global Smartphone Brands” listing in the Q1 of 2016

There is a new report from TrendForce, “a world leading market intelligence provider”, indicating Samsung’s shipments did increase last quarter and the company is still number one in the list of global smartphone market-share. Congratulations, Sammy! Besides that announcement, the report also gave specific numbers to prove it.

With the shipments in Q1 of 2016 greater than what they expected at 81 million units (also a 2.5% increase from last quarter), Samsung must be very happy. Most people said it was thanks to the earlier availability of the flagship duo Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge and the success of Samsung Galaxy J series in Asia. Well, that can be true. The S7 and S7 edge were launched in February and then started going on sale in March instead of April like their predecessors. As for the J line-up, it contains affordable smartphones with decent hardware, which can easily attract lots of consumers in general.

However, overall, the global smartphone shipments in the Q1 of 2016 are not as good as the previous quarter. Actually it is a fall of 1.3% compared to the same period in 2015 and 18.6% to the Q4 last year. One of the main reasons is market saturation (the fact that no new customers can be found).

Then, where are other big guys such as Sony, HTC, etc.?

Surely they are included in the “Others” category. Despite having already announced their own flagships like Sony Xperia X, XA, X Performance, HTC 10, etc., some of them have not been available for sale yet (in Sony’s case) and some have just debuted (HTC 10). As a result, they could not affect the Q1 report, but the second quarter will be another story. (Souce: androidauthority)
