7. Elephone Vowney

Elephone is drawing a lot of attention due to their flagship 4GB RAM Elephone Vowney. It owns a beautiful design and strong specs such as the powerful 4GB RAM, Android 5.0 Lollipop, 2K Screen (2560 x 1440, 534ppi), and 32GB ROM. As for the camera combo, there is a Sony IMX 230 21.0MP HD back shooter and an up to and 8.0MP selfie snapper. Amazing, right?! On the other hand, it also supports NFC and Touch ID.

After OnePus 2, is OnePlus 2 Mini or OnePlus 3 going to be the next smartphone of OnePlus team in this year?

OnePlus 2 has just debuted and receive many positive comments as well as up to 2 million reservations after a short period of time. Perhaps the company was able to predict this situation, so they planned a new device ahead to release at the end of the year.

Well, a lot of people think that the upcoming smartphone will be called OnePlus 2 Mini, belonging to mid-range category with a smaller screen and lower features in comparison with the current flagship. It is also said that OnePlus 2 Mini specs will be still better than others in its kind.

If last time we just got the confirmation of the new OP phone launch, this time, we know a bit more about it. OnePlus 2 Mini will sport a 5-inch FHD display, a Snapdragon 801 2,5GHz chipset, 3GB RAM and a 3,100mAh battery. Actually, those remind us of OnePlus One. So, should they call it OnePlus One Mini instead of OnePlus Two Mini? Or they may let it be a totally new handset with the name OnePlus 3.

Besides, due to aiming at the mid-range phone market, OnePlus 2 Mini will not be likely to come with fingerprint scanner, NFC connectivity or USB Type-C port. As for the launch time, though we used to be informed that OnePlus would have something for us on the Christmas Day, recently we also have heard that OP 2 Mini will appear in the IFA event this year.

We are curious about the OnePlus 2 price. Many predictions claim that it just can range from $250 to $300 (which can make OnePlus 2 Mini price in Malaysia RM984-RM1,181). Is it reasonable?

To recap, it seems like OnePlus is opening a new path for them into the mid-range field by creating OnePlus 2 Mini. This can make many brands like Samsung, Motorola, Nexus feel a bit “unpleasant” since OnePlus has had quite successful 2 “Flagship Killer” products: OnePlus 1 và OnePlus 2. Therefore, it will possibly happen again with the Mini version.

The latest benchmark of AnTuTu for the LG Nexus 5 (2015) rocketed to the highest mark of 85,350 basing on the leaked specifications of this device. Besides, Google also connected with Huawei brand to created the new Nexus handset that will get ready to be released in the end of the year 2015.

The Nexus 2015 manufactured by LG brand is considered as the smaller edition of the other Nexus smartphones. The Nexus 2015 processor is said to have the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 with the 3.0 GHz speed. The chipset is considered to be the most awaited one in this year. Many smartphones manufacturers as well as smartphones users are eagerly looking forward to utilize this improved processor.

As we can see that the Nexus 5 (2015) display sports a 1080 x 1920 Full HD resolution, which is much lower than its previous version Nexus 6, with 1440  x 2560 QHD display. We will able to have the 5-inch screen Nexus smartphones made by LG. However, with the Huawei Nexus, we will likely to have the larger display with higher quality also.

Basing on the Antutu marks, the Nexus 5 (2015) beats many other hot devices, which promises a really powerful handset in the near future. So, it is easy to understand why it recieved many expectations from smartphone users.

Therefore, stay tuned if you are looking for some really impressive smartphone features. Especially, this will be the amazing chances for Nexus fans to own such powerful device !

Not long ago, Sony confirmed that there will be a conference on September 2, 2015, and their new flagship Sony Xperia Z5 would debut also. We have been hearing quite a lot of news as well as seeing many alleged pictures of it these days. If you remember, in one recent post, we have spotted Z5 and Z5 Compact in a pic where they are displaying their fingerprint scanner. Many people think that if that is of Sony Xperia Z5, it is kind of disappointing in terms of design; it is quite similar to other available Sony Xperia Z members.

New Sony Xperia Z5 teaser

However, a French media have just brought a new Sony Xperia Z5 poster showing a conceptual design. It does not look boring anymore. It is beautiful and bright, in fact.

As what the picture describes, Sony Xperia Z5 may come with an aluminum body with 3 color variants: silver, champagne, and mint. It sports a 5.5-inch 2K OLED, the next generation of Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 4GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The whole machine will be powered by Android M operating system. One special thing about it is that the fingerprint sensor will be built in the power button on one side of the phone.

In terms of camera combo, of course it is expected to be gorgeous. The rear one is capable of 21MP with the IMX230 sensor, optical image stabilization and 5x zoom; however, we have no idea of the selfie shooter. Besides, Sony Xperia Z5 will be equipped with a USB type-C port and a 3,500mAh battery, according to source of the pic.

In addition, it is also said to support Sony IP68 dust and water resistance, and solar charging panel on the back. What a wonderful package, right?!

To conclude, if Sony Xperia Z5 can be launched with the design and specs as what we are looking at, no doubt it will be a BOMB flagship this year!
