Anyhow, no matter how they will call it, its specs are pretty impressive since they are similar to the Xiaomi’s latest handset – Xiaomi Redmi Note 3.

Nokia E1 VS Lenovo Vibe X3 are 2 awesome flagships from 2 of the biggest smartphone producers in the world, with super cool specs for surprisingly affordable price tags. Therefore, we now put them together in a comparison…

Nokia E1 VS Lenovo Vibe X3: Budget bugs from the giants

Both Nokia E1 VS Lenovo Vibe X3 are catching huge attention for what they have to offer despite the affordable prices. Nokia E1, costing around USD 250, goes with a handy 4.9 inch display, 2GB RAM, Android 6.0 OS and more amazingly, a 20MP Pureview camera! Meanwhile, for a price tag of around USD 350, Lenovo Vibe X3 features some of the most premium specs you can ask for: 5.5”, 3GB RAM, 3600 mAH and a whooping 23MP rear camera! Hmm, you are loving them, aren’t you?

Though both are among top choices in our market nowadays, Nokia E1 VS Lenovo Vibe X3 obviously stands out from one another as well as other competitors. Nokia E1 will sell super well for being one of the first Nokia Android phones in their comeback 2016. The smartphone is also a design winner, which I am sure everyone will love at first sight. Lenovo Vibe X3, on the other hand, remarks itself for covering all of the best stuff in just one machine. It even comes with a huge internal storage and Dual SIM.

Lenovo Vibe X3 is definitely leading in terms of specs, with a bigger RAM, bigger battery and bigger camera. However, the fact that Nokia E1 is from the greatest smartphone legend in the world – Nokia, is already a huge advantage. Moreover, it seems that Nokia E1 will be slightly cheaper in price, which also contributes to your vote of the winner!

Nokia E1 VS Lenovo Vibe X3: worth every penny

With what they are packing on board, both handsets are cool enough to be saving for and waiting for, don’t you agree? I have heard that a lot of people would buy the Nokia E1 because they are just in love with its Pureview camera. Meanwhile, it seems like many others are gathering money to grab the Lenovo Vibe X3 – for it is such a powerful beast with elegant design!

We have been hearing many things about the flagship Samsung Galaxy S6‘s successor – Galaxy S7 – coming next year. And today, we’ve just got some more news about it to share with you: MicroSD card and Keyboard – will we see them on the S7 2016?

MicroSD card will come back and Physical keyboard will get on board?

To be honest, we think Samsung has a very good strategy of marketing for their product. Though Samsung Galaxy S7 launch has not occurred yet, most people have already been so familiar with this smartphone, including us. We are pretty sure that S7 will be the most gorgeous high-end handset to start 2016 and probably compensate for what Galaxy S6 and S6 edge could not give you this year. We mean the microSD card slot for memory expansion. Furthermore, some sources claim that Samsung Galaxy S7 edge will also come along with a 5.7-inch curved edge display and a microSD card slot as well. That can be a plus for both of them!

The second news is related to a keyboard, like the one we see accompanying Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Plus. It is likely that Samsung will bring this feature to their new products S7 and S7 edge to help people use the phones more comfortably, especially in typing. However, note that the keyboard is not fixed on the handset. It is actually an accessory that you can take off or put on anytime. Do you like the idea?

In general, it is pretty sure that Samsung Galaxy S7 launch will occur in the first quarter of 2016, or in February to be specific. We are looking forward to this powerful beautiful duo together with a microSD card slot and a physical keyboard. How about you?

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge price

How much is this real beast couple of 2016: huge cores, strong unique processor, leading technology and beautiful camera sensor by Sony IMX 300? Since they are flagships, their prices can start from $900. Anyhow, let’s wait for the firm’s official announcements in the next weeks!

On November 24th, Xiaomi launched Redmi Note 3, the company’s latest budget flagship. The device soon caught everyone’s attention. Here are 5 reasons why buying this handset could be a great choice…

5 reasons why Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is the best choice for its money

Costing only a humble $140, the freshly-launched Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 comes with very convincing reasons for you to just go and grab it. Firstly, the handset features full metal casing, giving it a classy and much more premium appearance than its price group. Secondly, apart from the metal element, Redmi Note 3 has a great design in general: popular 5.5” FHD, beautiful 8.7 mm slim body. 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 – beating its competitors for quality

$140 is absolutely not a huge amount of money. It is interesting that for now, with that budget, we can already buy smartphones as good as this Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 beast. With all it has to offer, the Redmi Note 3 is there to beat its competitors of the same price group and is expected to be a new hit in the smartphone market of 2015-2016.

We have to say that 2015 is a great year for smartphones and these final months are the best time for us. It is because so many powerful but super affordable devices have been released such as Redmi Note 3, OnePlus X, Le1S and Mi4c. So, what should we choose?

Redmi Note 3 vs OP X vs Le1S vs Mi4c: Budget phone market has never been so fine like now!

To be honest, they are good handsets in terms of specifications and costs, but of course each one has to have its own strengths and weaknesses, right?! In general, all of them have 3GB RAM, Full HD display, a dual SIM, and Android OS (despite coming along with different UIs). However, for other specs, the differences are clearer, which somehow can help us choose the most suitable one.

Firstly, we will take a deeper look at the screen. There are 2 machines measuring 5 inches and the others 5.5 inches, yet the smaller are better in terms of ppi and lighter than their bigger competitors. Moreover, we notice that OP X and Mi4c use the same kind of processors made by Qualcomm (SD801 and SD808, respectively) while Redmi Note 3 and Le1S employ the same MediaTek Helio X10. In fact, they are all pretty powerful chips, so you do not have to worry about this point. About the ROM, the X is the only smartphone able to be expanded up to 128GB, so you can store as many cool things as you want. Furthermore, this OnePlus handset also wins others the best selfie cam title thanks to its 8MP secondary snapper. Nonetheless, it is the worst when coming to the battery. The champion is Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with a 4,000mAh cell. 

So those are some main points about the phones’ insidea. How about the outsides? If Redmi Note 3 and Le1S are representatives of machines equipped with premium all-alloy bodies, Mi4c is a rep of polycarbonate unibody design with many sweet colors, and OP X has 2 versions: one is of the glass-backed “Onyx” and the “Ceramic” model made from ceramic. As a result, there are many interesting options for you to consider.

Redmi Note 3 vs OP X vs Le1S vs Mi4c: Prices can decide everything?

Again, we have 2 trends here: Redmi Note 3 and Le1S seem to more budget when priced under $200 than the others, which range from $200 to $250. So, according to you, which one is winner of this comparison. Share with us!
