Lenovo K80 is famous as a competitor directly to ASUS ZenFone 2 with a massive 4GB RAM. And good news for consumers as well as Lenovo K80 fans is that Lenovo has brought it here, in Malaysia with a reasonable price. However, the happiness is not absolutely completed because Lenovo K80 will just be available with 2GB RAM for now.
Talking about Lenovo K80 specs, one important thing that brings K80 such fame is its Intel’s Quad-Core Atom Z3560 64-bit 1.8GHz processor with 4GB RAM, but today, well will only look at the Lenovo K80 2GB RAM version.
In fact, there are not many differences between the 2 Lenovo K80 versions. The 2GB RAM handset also includes a 5.5″ Full HD display (401ppi) along with 32GB of the on-board storage. As for the camera combo, there are a rear cam of 13MP with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and 5MP front one. The whole handset is run by Android 5.0 Lollipop. The most outstanding feature compared to ASUS ZenFone 2 is its battery: 4,000mAh. Despite owning such huge capacity, it’s still able to get a slim body at 8.5mm of thickness. Besides, Lenovo K80 supports 4G LTE with single SIM but when coming to Malaysia, there’s no mention of its supported bands.

In terms of Lenovo K80 Malaysia 2GB RAM version price in Malaysia, DirectD is now offering it at RM999 incl GST. So, back in China, the 4GB RAM plus 64GB ROM Lenovo K80 is priced at 1,799 Yuan which is about RM1,083. If DirectD continues to offer more choices of Lenovo K80, we hope that the price for the 4GB RAM will also vary from RM1,000 to RM1,100.

If you like Phablets, especially those with 5.5-inch screen, you should check out the following 10 smartphones with that size and perhaps choose one of them to be yours!

Also note that the bezel is listed at a mere 0.55mm, nearly edge-to-edge. Other than that, Star 3 will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop. We expect that ZTE will equip their handset with 3GB or 4GB RAM, instead of 2GB RAM built in Star 2, and larger battery like 3,000mAh or so, not just 2,400mAh batt as the former’s.
As for camera, Star 3 may remain the 13MP rear dual cam, but of course, if the company can improve the shooters to more than 13MP, the phone’s gonna be awesome. Besides, there can be two color options: dark gray and shiny blue.

Elephone P8000 is going to keep the fingerprint sensor on the phone’s rear. Besides, it boasts a 5.5-inch1080p display and 3GB RAM. While MediaTek 6752 is also a very capable chipset for a smartphone, it does not support international LTE, which seems to be a drawback for devices owning this processor. It looks like Elephone has found out a better choice for their next phone when building the newer MediaTek MT6753 catering “Worldmode LTE” in P8000. As a result, Elephone P8000 will be able to support all 4G networks all over the world.
Different from the 3,450mAh battery of Elephone P7000, P8000 will have more advantages when owning a 4,200mAh batt.

According to some reliable sources, this new handset will come with a price tag of about $209.99 (which means Elephone P8000 price in Malaysia can be RM770). It is obviously cheaper than its elder brother.

We are almost in the middle of June and recently, OnePlus team has partly made the summer hotter by releasing the the very first teasers of the OnePlus Two. Somehow its design is similar to the OPO. Let’s take a look at the following pictures:
OnePlus Two teaser
Teasers of the successor to OnePlus One having been posted show a general view of the new machine. However, seem like it cannot tell us much about its design.
If you remember, OnePlus team is running a contest to select a winner to participate its secret project for OnePlus Two in Hong Kong. Contestants will have to snap and send an unedited and non-filtered photo to the company’s Instagram by using the @oneplustech tag. Ten candidates will be picked based on the number of votes and “technical ability”, then the winner will be chosen by the public.
But the point here is that to promote for this program, OnePlus has posted an announcement on the Facebook along with a picture, which is likely to be the OnePlus 2.
We can notice that the phone is held in landscape, so there’s only the screen to be seen. It looks large and the bezel is really thin. Anyhow, before officially unveiling the true handset in the Q3 of 2015, OnePlus might not just let us figure out everything!
For not only the design but also the OnePlus Two specs, we still have to wait a bit more, yet some sources in China claim that the phone will boast 3GB RAM, Full HD display and Snapdragon 810 processor. Other than that, a fingerprint scanner is also rumored to come along with “better than Touch ID” features.
In terms of OnePlus Two price, it has not been confirmed yet. Nonetheless, there might be two OnePlus models we have to guess the prices: one is a flagship to replace OnePlus One and the other is a mid-range phone with lower specs and price tag.
So, what are your hopes for the OnePlus 2 Malaysia? Tell us!

Sony has so much confidence in the Xperia C3’s selfie-taking abilities that it’s the main thing it’s selling it on. C3 arrives with a 5-megapixel front facing camera in combination with an LED flash. In fact, there are not many smartphone vendors creating many megapixels in their front cameras and even fewer have a flash, so that’s a good start.
The handset also be designed to omit a soft, flattering light like the above OPPO N1. Besides that, it does have a wide-angle lens, so there’s no need to worry because you can fit more people into your shot. And all of things you need is to “smile” thanks to the smile detection feature.
However, if you want to use a button, it has a hardware shutter button so there’s no need to jab at the screen to snap a photo.
5. OnePlus One: 5MP
For “True flagship killer”, the OnePlus One although actually not as good as the rest of our list, still stays at a quite competence. It is reported to feature a 5MP front-facing shooter and it can shoot 1080p video at 30fps as well, so it’s similarly good for video calls.
And although OPO doesn’t pack much selfie tools that are able to find in some rival phones, there are good editing and camera apps available from Google Play to fill in the gaps.
This is absolutely a worthy device and fit your purpose with high-end specs: a large 5.5-inch screen as well as a good 13-megapixel main camera.
6. HTC Desire Eye: 13MP
As its name, HTC Desire Eye is a good idea for you who wanna take the best photos ever. HTC Desire Eye is a phone which packs both 13MP rear camera and 13MP front-facing camera. So it should be as good for selfies as the OPPO N1. Its secondary camera also has a dual-LED flash, HDR mode and an autofocus.
For more attractive features, HTC Desire Eye is supported Split Capture, Crop-Me-In, Video Face Tracking and many good specs as well.
7. Huawei Honor 3C: 5MP
Huawei Honor 3C has a good 5MP front-facing snapper, 8MP main camera and more interesting, at an impressive price tag. We find that its phone is the cheapest phone with a good front cam. So, if you want to own a good “selfie” phone and a reasonable cost. It’s your best choice.
8. ASUS ZenFone Selfie: 13MP
As the name suggests, ZenFone Selfie packs 13MP cameras both for the front and back. The selfie shooter comes with a number of face-enhancing features such as real-time ‘beautification’, dual real-tone flash and laser focus for sharper face snaps. Also, it is the first smartphone in the world to have laser auto focus function for taking selfies. ASUS claims that these features are ideal for “capturing life moments”, so it sure will make phone users amazed!
In term of specs, the ZenFone Selfie is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, not Intel Atom processors like other ZenFone 2s. Other ZenFone Selfie specs are pretty much the same from ZenFone 2: 5.5-inch IPS display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, LTE, 2GB RAM and updated Android Lollipop operating system.

Talking more specifically about the secondary cam, it includes 120 degree wide angle selfie and beautification mode. For the back, it owns a 13MP shooter.
10. Samsung Galaxy J7: 5MP
Samsung Galaxy J7 seems similar to J5 in some aspects such as the HD display but with a bigger screen, 5.5 inches to be specific. On the other hand, J7 would probably boast a Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor together with the same 1.5GB RAM. The battery of J7 is larger than its sibling J5; it is capable of 3,000mAh capacity.
