Though Meizu M2 cannot be compared with its bigger sibling Meizu M2 Note, it does have some advantages in comparison with Meizu M1, which was released in January. Specifically, with a low price tag, Meizu M2 offers a package of quite good specs. If you want a quick review of Meizu M2 specs, let’s check out the following table, and you can also compare the two models M1 and M2 at the same time. There are some similarities and differences that we can recognize easily:

In terms of look, there is one small different thing between Meizu M1 and Meizu M2. It is the home button on the front surface of both devices. Unlike M1, Meizu M2 has a physical, oval one, much like that of the Meizu M2 Note, which has just arrived here recently.

So, we have to say that Meizu has brought a good product to those who want a phone for under RM750. With only $149.99 (RM579) for the Meizu M2 Price, not only Chinese but also international buyers can own a phone with 2GB RAM, 64-bit chip, a combo of 13MP and 5MP camera.

Just hours after revealing two latest leaks related to sample Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, members of the evleaks continue to post on the Twitter about the details of the phablet Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Specs.

Compared with the previous rumors have appeared, the fifth generation of Samsung Galaxy Note seems not to be very different.

Leaks of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Specs

Basically, Galaxy Note 5 is confirmed by evleaks that it will be equipped with 5.66-inch QHD SAMOLED flat display as with the models before (2.560×1.440 pixel). It will be powered by the same Exynos 7420 chipset, minimum 32GB of internal memory,16 megapixel main camera, 5 megapixel camera to capture selfie, and it will run Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. It likely not to have the 4K panel display but it seems to have the 4GB of RAM.

However, the leaked details may cause disappointment to many followers because it may not equipped with an expandable memory card slot microSD. We just can wait until the handset is official launched then these information can be confirmed exactly.

It is believed that if the given information from evleaks is accurate, it is likely that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will have phone case designed similar to the two high-end smartphones of Samsung’s most S6 and S6 Edge Galaxy.

Few days ago, the Galaxy Note 5 phablet is rumored to have the upgrade Exynos 7422 which is a “all in one” combination between the 64-bit octa-core processor, GPU, RAM, memory storage and LTE modem on-board.

Gold Hints From Sony Xperia

Since the Xperia E Dual 2013 appeared far, we have not seen Sony made any gold handset yet but it looks like they will soon bring it back. A series of photos from the Sony recently unveiled Twitter likely gold will be available on a phone launched in the coming August. Moreover, we also found a photo that Sony never announced which is the picture of water rolling on the gold surface.

Before the OnePlus Two launch, the company released many pieces of info related to their new flagship this year. Many discussions were carried out, both complimenting on and complaining about the OnePlus Two specs and prices.

After the launch, there have been also many different opinions for the advantages and disadvantages of OP 2. Though, in the end, it is still a hot flagship at the moment and the number of people requesting invites to purchase a OnePlus Two has proved that.

So far, it has got 1,280,000 people on the reservation list and is likely to increase more and more. Recently, the company has also announced that “in comparison, the original OnePlus device has sold over 1.5ql million units to date, an extraordinary testament to the growth of the brand since its founding December 2013.”

And what would you say if such a hot device is on the way to Malaysia? Yes, we’re saying this because according to a reliable source, OnePlus Two has just passed the Malaysian SIRIM certification the number A2003. It also means that OP 2 might come to Malaysia ahead of other ASEAN nations, which are scheduled to get OP 2 in the Q4, 2015. If that really happens, Brightstar will probably be the main distributor and Maxis the exclusive telecommunications company in Malaysia.

Last but not least, the most important point we care is the OnePlus Two price in Malaysia. We know that the 16GB model costs $329 (about RM1,256) while the 64GB costs $389 (about RM1,485). So, we anticipate that the price can range from RM1,300 to RM1,500 when it goes on sale here. What do you think about OnePlus Two Malaysia? Share with us your expected price for such a powerful new flagship phone!

Huawei has officially announced their new phone called Huawei Maimang 4 in China with specs similar to Huawei G8. However, there are some small differences between these guys that we notice in terms of processor. Instead of the Snapdragon 615 chip, Huawei Maimang uses Snapdragon 616 one.

Besides, we would like to make a quick review of the Huawei Maimang 4 specs. Specifically, it is equipped with a 5.5-inch FHD screen, Snapdragon 616 octa-core processor, FPC’s Second generation Fingerprint Sensor, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. For a more advanced version, you can choose a Huawei Maimang with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage for yourself. As for the camera, the new Huawei device owns a 5MP selfie shooter and a 13MP main one which is also a good combo for those who like taking photos. The whole machine is run by a 3,000mAh battery and Android 5.1 Lollipop OS.

Talking about Huawei Maimang 4 design, we note that it will come with a metal body with a 2.5D glass for the front surface. Four corners of the handset are very rounded, which brings Huawei Maimang 4 a quite new and interesting look!

So, we have discussed the Huawei Maimang 4 specs and design, but it’s gonna be a mistake if we forget its prices. For the 2GB RAM plus 16GB ROM, Huawei Maimang price is set at 2,099 Yuan (RM1,292). And for the 3GB RAM plus 64GB ROM, it costs 2,499 Yuan (RM1,538 as the Huawei Maimang 4 price in Malaysia).

Before coming to the conclusion, let’s take a look at the following Huawei Maimang 4 hands-on pictures:

In general, after the flagship Huawei Honor 7 and the report announcing that Huawei is leading the game with a market share of 18.3% among Original Equipment Manufacturers in China, it seems like this company will continue to confirm their place in the market with a new handset called Huawei Maimang 4. So, what do you think about its specs as well as prices, Malaysia?

Recently, the Taiwanese manufacturer ASUS has confirmed that they are going to release TWO new ASUS ZenFone 2 variants called ZenFone 2 Deluxe and ZenFone 2 Laser. That sounds really interesting, doesn’t it?

On the other hand, by adding 2 more options to the ASUS ZenFone 2 collection, ZenFone 2 is becoming one of the brands having the most versions in the world. That can be considered as a strategy of ASUS. In fact, it is said that ASUS has come to the mobile world with a “computer seller’s thinking”, and seems like they are they proving it by launching a lot of phone versions with different specs and prices.

After introducing 4 versions of ZenFone 2 run by Intel chip and one run by Qualcomm chip, the company continues to bring 2 more variants of Zen 2 to Indian market. Those guys are named ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe và ZenFone 2 Laser as we mentioned above.

Reportedly, ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe specs are quite similar to the original. However, the back cover of the Deluxe looks more interesting with a 3D-cut design. Moreover, it has 4GB RAM paired with up to 128GB ROM, which is known as the largest internal storage for an ASUS device.

Meanwhile, ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser specs include a 5-inch HD display together with Corning Gorilla Glass 4, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset, 2GB RAM, and a 2,400mAh battery. As for the camera, it is a combo of a 13MP rear and a 5MP snapper.

Despite this good news, so far, ASUS has not confirmed the official prices for ASUS ZenFone 2 Deluxe and Laser, and whether they will bring these new version to the ASEAN market or not. Hopefully, ASUS Malaysian will soon offer them here!

After the interesting, unexpected and unique leak of Sony Xperia C5 Ultra at a police department, our Lavender (aka Sony Xperia C5 Ultra previously) is likely to debut officially in the next few days.

That is based on a new teaser of a new phone that Sony has released lately. It reads “Focus closely now, a new way to capture split-second photo is coming. 03.08.2015” We wonder what it can be, but if considering these days’ rumors and leaks, we predict the new Xperia device will be Sony Xperia C5 Ultra with an amazing ability of taking photos.

New Xperia teaser implies Sony Xperia C5 Ultra launch date on August 3 ???

So, besides the gorgeous borderless design we saw not long ago, Sony Lavender will also have a beast camera. Yet we cannot understand what they mean by “split-second photo”. Does it mean the phone will be able to capture pictures super super fast? Anyhow, that could become one of the key selling points for the new Sony smartphone.

However, there are also opinions pointing out that it is not the C5 Ultra which the company implied in the status. That is because camera does not seem like Sony Xperia C4 and C3’s area of expertise of the Sony Xperia C4 and C3. Perhaps Sony Xperia C5 Ultra Specs will feature a front flash, but is its focusing speed that fast to capture everything in just half an hour?

Once again, Sony really knows how to make us curious. Just a few days to go before they unveil everything, including Sony Xperia C5 Ultra specs and prices (if it was the one they were talking about in their announcement). Otherwise, we would like to welcome a totally new phone and admire Sony for being able to keep it as a secret for such a long time.

Remember to check out Price Pony on August 3, 2015 to see what phone Sony brings us! Hopefully, that is a great machine coming with a good price!

More than that, the new camera is able to take good photos in low lights. What a cool feature! Some people even think that the next flagship of Samsung, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, will sport this new sensor in order to compete effectively with others flagships in August. Yet, there is no word officially made by Samsung company, so we have to wait and see!
