Chinese smartphones are now very well-known for their strong hardware and affordable prices. Their designs are also getting more and more premium. So, if you are looking for a handset like that, check out the following ones!

1. Bluboo X9 

You just have to pay $149.99 to get a Bluboo X9 which owns a 2.5D curved 5.0-inch Full HD display and a fingerprint scanner on the rear, right below a 13MP main camera. Other Bluboo X9 specs include a MediaTek MT6753 64-bit octa-core chipset, LTE support for bands 800/1800/2100/2600MHz, 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, 16GB of eMMC 5.0 internal storage and a 2,500mAh battery.

Nokia Anple for those who love the combination of Apple iPhone, Android OS and Nokia smartphone. Check out how it looks and what it is capable of now!

Nokia Anple: Luxurious design and Powerful hardware

Nowadays, Apple iPhones are receiving much love from many consumers for their elegant designs. Meanwhile, a lot of people prefer Android OS to iOS. And we all know, Nokia is coming back and it is thousands of people’s favorite brand due to its quality products and reasonable prices. Well, those are like three names to represent three important factors contributing to a device’s success. And perhaps, Dimitris Morianos did want to create a successful handset like that.

Specifically speaking, Dimitris Morianos combined the above famous elements of Apple, Android and Nokia into just one machine. If so, spec-wise, it is likely to own a 4.7-inch 750 x 1334p screen with about 326 ppi, a dual SIM, 4G LTE, 3GB RAM paired with 16/64/128GB of internal storage and a set of 5MP front and 13MP rear cam. Besides, the whole device is expected to be powered by a Snapdragon 820 chip, a 3,000mAh cell and Android 6.0. A perfect package of specs, rite?!

Design-wise, it seems a reminder of Apple iPhone, but still keeps the classic answer plus end call buttons, and volume and camera keys. Additionally, there’s a Nokia logo on the front, and together with other icons, it uses LED lighting in various colors to help navigate, especially in unstable lighting conditions. Brushed metal will be also included in the sides to make the phone look more luxurious.

Nokia Anple price and availability

In general, this is quite an impressive model when gathering all the best things of Apple, Android and Nokia in only one Nokia smartphone. However, no word has been made for its availability as well as price yet. But, in case of coming true, we predict the machine will cost around $220. What do you think?

Big battery is never an old story for those who want their handsets to last more than 2 days. And here we are again, proudly introducing top battery smartphones to you! Check them out!

1. Oukitel K4000 Pro

Oukitel K4000 Pro launch has just happened recently. Specially, the device boasts a huge 4,600mAh battery and updated fast charging tech. Furthermore, it is claimed to last for up to 6 days of “normal use” and give up to 80.5 hours of talk time. Other Oukitel K4000 Pro specs include a 5.0-inch HD display, a quad-core MediaTek 6735P chipset, Android 5.1 Lollipop OS (which will be upgraded to Android 6.0 Marshmallow in May), a dual SIM, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage (expandable). The main camera is capable of 13 megapixels while the secondary one is 5 megapixels.

ASUS has produced many great ASUS ZenFone 4GB RAM smartphones such as ZenFone 2, ZenFone Zoom, and ZenFone Deluxe. We wonder what can happen if we put all of them in a comparison. Check it out now!

ZenFone Zoom VS ZenFone Deluxe VS ZenFone 2: Best selling 4GB RAM flagships

First of all, we want to praise them all for their designs. They have their own special appearances. For example, the Zoom has a big camera on the back, housing a 3x optical zoom mechanism, and a 13MP sensor; the Deluxe sports a unique diamond cut design with crisscross patterns and impressive color options such as White/Purple and Silver Polygon/Carbon Night; meanwhile, the original ZenFone 2 employs a rounded rear cover design (called Ergonomic Arc), a brush metal plastic back, and a volume rocker below the main camera. Well, pretty hard to pick out the most beautiful here, so we’ll let you decide!

In terms of specifications, it’s not difficult to recognize that each of them boasts a 5.5-inch Full HD screen, 4GB RAM, a decent 3,000mAh battery equipped with fast charging tech (60% in 40 minutes), a 5MP f/2.0 front-facing camera and Android 5.0 Lollipop OS out of the box (but the Zen 2 and Deluxe are planned to be upgraded to Marshmallow in the near future). In fact, they have a lot in common and just with such features, they are already more powerful than many other handsets on the market now. Yet, how about their differences?

First of all, it is about processor. Deluxe has 2 variants: one run by Intel Atom Z3580 quad-core 2.3GHz and the other by Intel Atom Z3560 quad-core 1.8GHz. As for the ZenFone 2 4GB RAM, the Intel Atom Z3580 quad-core 2.3GHz is put in charge and for the Zoom, it is the Intel Atom Z3590 quad-core 2.5GHz. At this point, we can announce that ASUS ZenFone Zoom is the strongest in this battle. Moreover, the Zoom’s also got the most excellent rear shooter here: 13MP with f/2.7-4.8, 3x optical zoom, laser autofocus, OIS, plus dual LED flash. Nonetheless, in terms of ROM capacity, Zen 2 Deluxe is the winner since it packs 64/128/256GB (expandable up to 128GB).

And the winner is…

Well, in the end, it’s still hard to choose. Say, if you like a camera-centric phone, ASUS ZenFone Zoom is the right one. In case of wanting to own an “unusual” machine, ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe absolutely will satisfy you. But, if you just simply want a normally powerful smartphone to play games and run heavy apps, ASUS ZenFone 2 is enough. Then, what is your choice? Share with us~

You should be preparing for now cause the following 4GB RAM Chinese phones are coming in the next weeks. Beautiful and excellent! That’s what we want to say…

1. Ulefone Future

According to source, Ulefone Furture us a bezel-less smartphone. It looks very beautiful, powered by a Helio P1o chip. Other Ulefone Future specs contain 4GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a combo of a 20MP rear camera with Sony IMX230 sensor. One more highlight is that this device will run on either Android 6.0 Marshmallow or CyanogenMOD. Those are pretty impressive features, but for the rest of the package, the company has not confirmed anything, including Ulefone Future price. Let’s wait and see!

A recent report has announced that Huawei company is ranked the third largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, just right after Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc…

Huawei – Third place in the world and number one in China

Not long ago, a Taiwan market research and analysis firm called TrendForce released a report showing the current situation of the global smartphone market in 2015. This is like a summary to see what manufacturer did well after all. Accordingly, 1,292 billion handsets were sold last year, increasing 10.3 percent compared to the sale of 2014. Furthermore, people can easily notice the strong participation of many Chinese smartphone makers.

They were able to ship 539 million units globally in 2015 and Huawei to replace Lenovo to be the third largest smartphone manufacturer all over the world, after Samsung and Apple. Specifically, Huawei delivered more than 100 million handsets last year, accounting for 8.4% of global sales and obviously beating Xiaomi to be number one in China. Though, Xiaomi also did pretty well with 5.6% of global sales. The fifth place belonged to Lenovo with 5.4% and then LG, TCL, OPPO, BBK and ZTE filled in the blank to finish the top 10.

One thing which is kind of shocked to us is that Sony did not appear in the top 10. They were ranked eighth in 2014, but in 2015, they could not stay there anymore. It seems like the flagship Sony Xperia Z5 and its variants could not help much. Hopefully, this year the firm will have a right strategy to get back on track.

What will Huawei bring consumers in 2016?

We bet that Huawei will try even more to keep the position and as a result, we will be welcoming many great products in the near future. Right now, we are looking forward to their flagships including Huawei P9 with a gorgeous package of specs. Yet, how about you? What are expecting from Huawei? Share with us!

Lenovo K80m has been attracting a lot of people due to its high-end package of specifications and a super affordable price. Check out how much it costs now!

Lenovo K80m specs and design: 4GB RAM, 4,000mAh battery and…

We all know the best RAM capacity nowadays is 4GB and this is also considered as a high-end feature for smartphones. Normally, best things cost much but for Lenovo K80m, it does not happen that way. Let’s have a look at Lenovo K80m specs. It owns a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display, an Intel Moorefield Z3560 quad-core 1.8GHz processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage (expandable). Yes, those are basic things about Lenovo K80m’s hardware, yet there’s more.

In terms of camera, the main one is capable of 13 megapixels and the secondary shooter is 5 megapixels, which is a standard combo for taking photos but great enough to produce pretty shots, right?! Furthermore, its most important highlight is the 4,000mAh battery, enabling the handset to last more than 2 days. However, we guess the K80m’s OS may be a minus since it is only Android 4.4 KitKat. Hopefully, the company will have a plan to upgrade the system soon.

In general, no doubt Lenovo K80m will bring you excellent experience in using. Design-wise, though there is no really special thing about its appearance, we should note that despite sporting a huge batt, the device is still able to be light and slim with a thickness of 8.47 mm and 146 grams in weight. You can hold it easily and comfortably in just one hand for sure.

Lenovo K80m price and availability

As we mentioned, Lenovo K80m price is remarkably good compared to what it offers us. If you are interested in this machine, you can check the page Geekbuying where Lenovo K80m has been available at $184. So, what do you think about Lenovo K80m? Share with us!

Lenovo K5 Note vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 3: Many similarities but still different in their own ways

As we know, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has been one of the most remarkable Xiaomi smartphones so far. It was launched in November 2015 while Lenovo K5 Note has just been spotted on TENAA recently. Obviously, people know how good the Note 3 is but the K5 Note has not been released yet, so its strength is a mystery. First, we should look at their appearances. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is the first Xiaomi device to sport an all-alloy unibody and a fingerprint scanner on the rear. It is beautiful but honestly, we think Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 design is pretty similar to other metal Chinese phones. As for Lenovo K5 Note, we immediately notice that it’s totally different from almost all of Lenovo products. Though many people say K5 Note is a clone of the Redmi Note 3, we consider it is following a common design trend of Chinese handsets. Do you agree?

Next, spec-wise, there are some significant similarities as well as differences we should note. Basically, both of them have the same 5.5-inch Full HD display, 2GB of RAM (though the Note 3 also has a more advanced version with 3GB RAM), 16GB of ROM (2GB version), and a 13MP rear camera. They seem to have a lot in common, right?! But, of course, each device has its own special feature to make people remember them.

As for the highlights of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 specs, they are the excellent 2GHz octa-core Helio X10 processor and huge 4,000mAh battery with fast charging tech, making the Redmi Note 3 better than its competitor since the K5 Note just sports a 1.8GHz octa-core Helio P10 chip and a 3,500mAh cell. Nonetheless, you will find K5 Note greater with an expandable storage and an up to 8MP front shooter. So, those who care much about long battery life, they should choose Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but in case of loving taking selfies, Lenovo K5 Note will be an awesome choice.
