If Nokia Swan is Nokia’s high end Flagship for 2016, Nokia C1 will be Nokia’s Android 6.0 Smartphone to get closer to fans who want affordable Nokia smartphones with high specs like 20MP Pureview and 5.5″ FHD!

Nokia C1 – 5.5″ FHD and 4GB RAM budget beast!

As Nokia will return to the market in 2016 we have been seeing a lot of upcoming Nokia smartphones around. This time we want to show you the live images of Nokia C1, an Nokia Android smartphone that is inspired from an already released Nokia tablet. This Nokia C1, according to the news, will likely be Nokia’s new smartphone for 2016. And what makes it very appealing is that, the Nokia C1 will have a mid-range price tag.

Nokia is still having their secret well kept about the official Nokia C1 specs. However, from the leaks, we now know that the Nokia C1 display will sport a 5.5″ FHD Screen. As a mid-ranger, Nokia C1 will feature 4GB RAM  and 16GB internal storage. The Nokia C1 camera is said to be an 20MP Pureview combined with a 8 MP selfie shooter, which reminds us of Nokia E1. Also, a 64-BIT Mediatek CPU is expected to keep the price low and the performance high.

We really  think this is a smart move of Nokia, when featuring both the C1 and E1 as budget bugs on their comeback, since it clearly reaches a wider range of customers, making it easier to sell. The Android-powered Nokia C1 with 5.5″ FHD, 4GB RAM and 20MP Pureview surely has what it takes to be a best seller 2016!

Nokia C1 Smartphone Price and Release Date

As for the Nokia C1 Price, although Nokia has not finalized yet, we can expect a 200 to 250 USD tag.  Pretty nice for a device from a big brand, don’t you think? You can check out other Nokia phone here or some news about the company for the upcoming NOKIA Phones COMEBACK in 2016.

Elephone, the China brand which has been on a roll lately with their smart phones, seems to be releasing Elephone P9000 soon. A while back, Elephone P9000 release date was said to be in October. However, with order listing of Elephone P9000 circulating online, the phone may be launched much earlier. So far we have seen great specs on Elephone P9000, so what else does the order listing confirm for us?

Elephone P9000

Elephone P9000 specs are very amazing to list out. First of all, the device sports 4GB RAM and deca-core processor, which is the Mediatek MT6797 chipset. Elephone P9000 may be the second device to have these powerful hardware, the first being Acer Predator 6, the gaming phablet.

Elephone P9000 order listing on geekbuying

The phone also includes 32GB internal storage. The phone may or may not support microSD card, considering how flagship smart phones go nowadays.

Elephone P9000 display is a 5.5” FHD screen. If you use this phone for gaming, it is not as excellent as Acer Predator 6 would be, but 5.5” is enough to have the best experience.

Elephone P9000 will be another 10-core smart phone for Android

Elephone P9000 camera is a huge 16MP sensor with amazing 13MP selfie camera. With these camera specs, Elephone P9000 can be a hot trend right away after release.

Elephone P9000 battery is not listed, but we suppose it would be around 500mAh at least. Since 3100mAh like in the previous news seems not enough to handle the phone.

According to the order listing,  the device costs $330. However, we guess Elephone P9000 price in Malaysia would be around RM 1000. With these flagship specs, it can easily win over the hearts of many Malaysian fans, provided Elephone P9000 can prove how powerful and great it is.

Are you excited, Price Pony readers? If so, tell us your opinions on this device and how much you would pay for these killer specs.

We have very good news for Android Fans. According to information from India’s Zauba import-export site, tomorrow MicroMax will reveal their OnePlus Two Competitor, the Micromax Yu5050, with Snapdragon 810, 4GB of RAM and Cyanogen MOD – MicroMax will try to be the OnePlus Two for India.

The Micromax Yu5050 will be MicroMax’s first smartphone to feature the Snapdragon 810, although very underclocked at 1.5GHz CPU (most likely due to Overheating issues), but you get 4GB of RAM. Other MicroMax Yu5050 specs, include a 5.2-inch full-HD display and the Micromax Yu5050 comes with Cyanogen 12.1 pre-installed and will have full Cyangogen Mod support.

With this Micromax Yu5050, Micromax is positioning themselves in direct competition to OnePlus. There is already a rivalry between OnePlus and MicroMax over the usage of Cyanogen Mod in India. Since Cyanogen Mod made an exclusive contract with MicroMax in India, OnePlus was disallowed to use Cyanogen Mode, which eventually led to the development of OnePlus own Oxygen OS.

The Micromax Yu5050 price will be 315 USD and will be launched on tuesday, exclusively with Snapdral in India. Following Xiaomi’s strategy Micromax will also launch a budget version of their Yureka phone. The Yu4711 will comes with 64-Bit Snapdragon 410, and 1GB of Ram. Of course you also get Cyanogen Mod. We will have more Infos on 8th September.

Sony just released the newest members of the Xperia Z5 series. This new Xperia Z5 Series also includes the World’s first Smartphone with a 4K Screen, that was highly praised by international media (Despite a hefty price tag). Now we get first news, that this is not the complete Xperia Z5 Line Up, yet.

If you know a bit about the Xperia Product Line, the Xperia Z5 Ultra is still missing. According to the very reliable @Leaksfly the Sony Xperia Z5 Release Date will be in March 2016. The Later Launch is mostly due to the Usage of the brand new Snapdragon 820 in the Xperia Z5 Ultra, in combination with 4GB RAM.

Other Xperia Z5 Ultra specs will most likely include a 6.44″ 4K Display, with the same 4K technology as Xperia Z5 Premium. With the larger body we expect to also get a larger battery then 3430mAH of the Z5 Premium, hopefully a large 4000mAH plus battery to power the large screen.

When the Sony Xperia Z5 is coming with Snapdragon 820, Sony should also incorporate the same cooling solution, that we saw after the teardown of the Xperia Z5 Premium. The Premium has thermal paste with two copper pipes in touch with the SOC Chipset, to keep the Snapdragon 810 from overheating. The Snapdragon 820 will be based on 14nm FinFET architecture, and less prone to overheating, but Sony should still take cautionary measures.

Most likely we will also see Sony’s highly improved 23MP Main Camera on the Xperia Z5 Ultra, to make it to ultimate Premium Phablet for 2016. The Sony Xperia Z5 Ultra Release Date is mostly likely March 2016. Lets hope Sony will continue what we saw on the awesome Xperia Z5 Line so far and we all get to see the next Killer Phablet from Sony. Source: Weibo

Xiaomi Redmi 2, which was released in January, is one of the most popular phones. The phone was sold out in two minutes of its flash sale, with so many orders. That was why Xiaomi release Xiaomi Redmi 2A back in April. However, this time, Xiaomi will release a 2GB RAM version of the phone. This 2GB RAM Xiaomi Redmi 2A is an updated version of the previously released 1GB RAM Xiaomi Redmi 2A, which we had seen for quite some time already.

Xiaomi Redmi 2A specs

Xiaomi Redmi 2A hardware specs are nicer than what you get on Xiaomi Redmi 2. Having 2GB RAM instead of 1GB RAM on the old Redmi 2A, Xiaomi Redmi 2A becomes more powerful and appealing. Moreover, it has 16GB internal storage, instead of 8GB on the previous version!

Apart from the hardware, other specs stay the same. Xiaomi Redmi 2A display is still a 4.7” screen with Corning Gorilla Glass.

Xiaomi Redmi 2A camera features a 8MP rear one and a 2MP front snapper. The battery is 2200mAh, which is still the same as the old Xiaomi Redmi 2A battery.

Xiaomi Redmi 2A price in Malaysia will probably be around RM 400 after tax, since it costs RM 371 in China. Xiaomi Redmi 2A release date is tomorrow, September 8 in China. Therefore, we guess its release date in Malaysia will be around October or November. Stay tuned for more information.

In the mean time, you can check out this article for more insights on the previous 1GB RAM Xiaomi Redmi 2A, or take a look at Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.

Cubot H1 is the latest smartphone introduced by Cubot. After many products having been released in the past few months, this time, it seems that the company really wants to surprised consumers. They designed Cubot H1 with a super huge 5,200mAh battery.

We can say the battery is one of the key selling points, but besides that, Cubot H1 can also play the role of a power bank. We mean a real power bank! Specifically, the on-board 5,200mAh cell can charge charge other devices using a OTG cable.

Moreover, Cubot H1 does support fast charging function. After 10 min. of charging, you can have up to 2 hours of talktime and with a full batt of 5,200mAh, you totally can watch a video lasting 1.5 hours, browse for 25 min., and call for 20 min. Many things can be done with just a single charge. Great!

Of course, some will ask about its thickness since the battery is so large that we should not expect a slim machine at 5 or 6mm. In fact, Cubot H1 does a good job when being able to sport a 9.2mm thin body. In addition, the overall look pretty with a special textured back. On the front surface, Cubot H1 owns 2.5D curved glass, which brings the phone premium feeling.

Talking about the Cubot H1 specs, we notice that there are a 5.5-inch HD IPS OGS display, a MT6735P 64-bit 1GHz chip, 2GB RAM and 16GB of expandable storage.

As for the camera, it packs a 13MP shooter with LED flash and an 8MP selfie snapper. Other specs include dual SIM dual Standby (1 MicroSIM and 1 standard SIM), 4G LTE support with bands 1/ 3/ 7/ 20, and an IR sensor which enables you to control some equipment at your home. Finally, the whole handset will be powered by the OS Android 5.1 Lollipop.

To recap, we would like to confirm that the Cubot H1 is a good choice when it comes to choosing a mid-range smartphone with a so generous battery of 5,200mAh. And the Cubot H1 price is also something that attract people a lot. Though the firm has not officially announced the price tag, many predictions have said that the phone may cost $160 (RM688). Wow, that’s gonna be a real good deal! Don’t you think?

LG is said to be preparing a new device called either LG G4 Pro or LG G4 Note. From the name, we guess it can be a phablet variant of the flagship LG G4. Some days ago, the LG G4 Pro wast claimed to be launched on October 10 with a plastic frame and a removable battery. But that was rumor. Lately, the LG G4 Pro has been spotted on TENAA page with another name. Let’s check out what details TENAA brings us!

After the LG G4 was released, many people believed that the company had been developing their next product which was also believed to be called LG G4 Pro. However, it seems that the phone will have a totally different name. Looking at the pictures provided by TENAA, we see “V10” written on the back of the phone. That is why we think LG V10 is the official one. Besides, it is more certain now that the machine’s back cover will be able to be removed and still made of plastic material.

Spec-wise, LG V10 is not very different from its predecessor. For example, LG V10 will be equipped with a 5.7-inch Quad HD display, a hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chip, 3GB RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. As for the camera, there are a 16MP rear cam with a laser autofocus unit and a dual-LED flash, and a 5MP front shooter to help you take beautiful pictures.

Yet, one special thing about this LG V10 goes to its secondary screen placed on the front surface, below the speaker and selfie snapper. It somehow reminds us of Samsung Continuum, an Android smartphone launched in 2010.

Then, in conclusion, TENAA actually did not give us much info about this high-end phone but its appearance. So, what are your thinking about its look and prediction about LG V10 specs? Share with us 🙂 !

Nokia Smartphone concepts is a realm that requires unlimited imagination and artistic creativity. The more appealing your design is, the more people get to know and fall in love with Nokia Smartphones. With the public popularity, the chance for such concept to be considered and brought into live by smartphone producers is much higher, especially with the upcoming Nokia Malaysia Comeback 2016 and the first Nokia Android phones. 

1. Nokia Power Ranger Specs

As Nokia is planning a huge returning after their contract with Microsoft ends, many aspiring designers all over the world started to introduce their concepts to the media. Nokia smartphone fans as well as technology fans everywhere can’t be more excited to await for the official “reborn” of the legend next year. Here are 4 of the most amazing Nokia smartphone concepts that can be coming 2016.

Nokia Power Ranger is a dual-boot smartphone running on both Window Phone 8.1 and Android 4.4. A Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.5 GHz powers the phone while an Adreno 420 GPU takes care of graphic. Together with a 5.1” featuring 2K display, the Nokia Power Ranger excites fans with 4GB RAM, 24.2 Pureview camera and a generous 512 GB ROM for maximum storage.

Lenovo Vibe S1 was one of the new devices introduced by the manufacturer at IFA 2015. If Lenovo Vibe P1 is famous for its huge 5,000mAh battery, Vibe S1 will be proud of being the world’s first smartphone having a dual front camera.

Recently, we’ve got some news about the flagship Xiaomi Mi5. Specifically, it is a teaser of the smartphone, showing that maybe Xiaomi is in the last stage of preparing the debut of Xiaomi Mi5.

Xiaomi Mi5 Teaser

The teaser was leaked on the internet by Weibo tipster @KJuma, displaying a massive number 5 and a question “Are you ready.” In the bottom, we see the top half of a fingerprint, which means the phone will probably sport a biometric scanner. Obviously, fingerprint scanner is not something super new at the moment, but to Xiaomi, if Mi5 is really going to have one, it will be the Xiaomi’s very first handset in the house to feature that tech.

Apart from the FS, we cannot tell more about the Xiaomi Mi5 specs and other things. However, we hope that what has been said so far will come true. In that case, Mi5 is a high-end device boasting a a Quad HD display, a 3,000mAh battery, 4GB RAM, a 16MP rear camera and a premium metal design. Besides, the device is expected to come with the latest Xiaomi MIUI 7 based on Android Lollipop OS.

The whole machine will be powered by the new Snapdragon 820 processor which is able to score over 83,000 Antutu points. Nevertheless, some sources also states that since they cannot wait for the SD820 chip, Xiaomi has to use the Snapdragon 810 one instead to release the flagship as soon as possible. But, is it a good choice, for SD810 chipset is receiving quite a lot of complaints for its heating issue?

On the other hand, Xiaomi Mi5 is also anticipated to come with another sibling called Xiaomi Mi5 Plus with some better features such as a 5.6-inch 2K Ultra HD display, 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 820 chip, a 3,550mAh battery, 4GB RAM and various options for the ROM: 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB. So good, right?!

In conclusion, we realize that Xiaomi is taking some steps as usual before the launch of a new product. We are in September now and we have already seen a teaser of Mi5. Then, we predict that more details about it will be released in the very near future. Don’t you think?

Lenovo has come to IFA 2015, introducing their new products in this H2 of 2015, and most of them are mid-range devices. Let’s check out what they are and if they are good enough to gain consumers’s hearts!

First, we would like to talk about a Lenovo‘s dual phablet consisting of Phab and Phab Plus. They have huge screens and aim at those who like big display and want to use a 2-in-1 device: smartphone and mini tablet.

We can see that there are many differences between these two products in terms of specs though they seem to share the same brand name. Yet, we notice that each phablet has its own advantage. For example, Lenovo Phab sports a quite generous battery and Lenovo Phab Plus has higher display resolution.

Secondly, as what we heard before IFA 2015, Lenovo officially released their Lenovo Vibe P1 with huge battery capacity of 5,000mAh. Besides, it has a sibling called Lenovo Vibe P1m, which also features a pretty awesome 4,000mAh cell.

In general, Lenovo Vibe P1 is a mid-range smartphone with features quite similar to the above Lenovo Phab Plus. Though, P1 is smaller due to its 5,5-inch FHD display. Apart from the impressive battery, Vibe P1 has quick charging tech and a fingerprint sensor placed on the front surface of the machine. Compared to Vibe P1, Lenovo Vibe P1m seems to have less powerful specs such as 2GB RAM, a MediaTek 64-bit octa-core chip and a 5-inch HD screen. Anyhow, the cells of this duo are so attractive to those who want their phones to last more than just 24 hours.

Last but not least, it is Lenovo Vibe S1, boasting up to 2 front cameras. Selfie lovers may feel interested in this phone. Spec-wise, it owns a 5-inch Full HD screen, a MediaTek 6752 and 3GB RAM, which are more advanced than the others.

Well, they are all new smartphones from Lenovo and will be on sale next month. Nonetheless, their prices as well as availability in Malaysia have not been officially announced. We will update the info as soon as possible.

So, what do you think about them? Share with us your opinions!

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 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.

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.

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.

Xiaomi laptop may come with the name Xiaomi Mi Notebook
