WOW, 10 of the best smartphones with amazingly huge battery life. Each of them is different in terms of specs, design, and price. However, they would all be super helpful when carried on business trips or work in a long period without getting charged.

What’s new today? It’s gonna be about Meizu. Though Meizu M2 Note has just gone on sale for the last few days, it is like the company will create another chapter for another new product. That somehow explains for the current announcement from Meizu sent to media, inviting them to an event around the end of this month.

Rumored Meizu M2

Looking at the above picture, which is posted on Chinese tech sites, we notice that the new machine will dress a a white plastic cover. Many sources predict that it can be the next generation of Meizu M1, released in China earlier. So, we guess that if it is the case, they may call the handset Meizu M2.

More specifically, Meizu M2 Specs will feature a 4.6-inch 1920 x 1080 display and a Mediatek MT6753 processor. Furthermore, 2GB RAM and 32GB of storage will be on-board. The whole machine will be operated by Flyme based on Android 5.1 Lollipop. Apart from those pieces of information, nothing else is revealed for the debut of Meizu M2. Let’s wait for the manufacturer’s official claim.

To recap, we wonder if this is a wise strategy when Meizu keeps releasing new smartphones consecutively. The rumored Meizu M2 Launch will be confirmed soon as well as the price. What do you think about Meizu M2 Price in Malaysia?

Still in the process of preparing for Samsung Galaxy Note 5, the company decided to equip their new machine with USB 3.1 Type C as long as new interface. Some people consider USB 3.1 synonymous with Type-C designation, yet in fact it is a distinct standard. A phone with USB 3.1 Type-C seems to sport a transfer speed up to 10Gbps with compatible devices. Besides, the pair of standards supports 1.5A and 3A currents, which also helps improve power delivery.

As the Note 5 is getting more famous though it has not been confirmed for anything, recently some Samsung Galaxy Note 5 specs have been revealed. Specifically, the screen size will be made up to 5.89 inches but with less thickness than Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (7.9mm vs 8.5mm). If you like a phablet, you may consider this one. Other than that, unfortunately, the rumored display with 4K resolution is not coming true, according to the sources.

Other specs include a 4,100mAh battery as quoted. One more addition is that a more improved S-pen stylus will be seen together with Galaxy Note 5, like a special feature of Samsung Galaxy Note series as always. More than that Android 5.1.1 Lollipop will be in charge.

One important thing about the new Samsung flagship we cannot forget is its processor. The handset is likely to be powered by an Exynos 7422 chipset, which is a modified version of the 7420 built in Samsung Galaxy S6. It is also said that the speedy UFS 2.0 memory will appear on the larger model.

Perhaps we just need to wait a bit more since Samsung Galaxy Note 5 can be officially brought to IFA – a world’s leading trade show for consumer electronics and home appliances, in Berlin this September, 2015. Then, we will know exactly what it is capable of and how it looks like. So, do you like a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Malaysia? And tell us what Samsung Galaxy Note 5 price in Malaysia do you expect?

After the launch of ASUS ZenFone 2 with 4GB RAM, it did open a new trend for smartphones this year. Many flagship phones with such huge RAM have attacked or will attack the market such as Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, ZTE Nubia X8, Bluboo X500, etc. And today, we will focus on one of the direct competitors to ASUS ZenFone 2 as well as other 4GB RAM devices: Lenovo K80! So, are you curious about how Lenovo K80 Specs can be compared to guys?

First, let’s check out the very basic key features of Lenovo K80 Specs:

It owns a 5.5” 1080p display, a 64-bit Intel Atom processor clocked at 1.8 GHz unlike other newly-launch flagship usingSnapdragon or MediaTek. 64GB is the capacity of the on-board storage. The rear camera is of 13MP with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), coming along with a 5MP fron-facing shooter. Moreover, battery is where the upcoming Lenovo K80 will knock the ASUS ZenFone 2 down. Lenovo K80 has a huge battery capacity of 4,000mAh compared to the 3,000mAh on ZenFone 2.

In terms of price, Lenovo K80 price is set sat CNY 1,799 (RM1,085) for 4GB and 64GB of storage version. The company launches a lighter 2GB RAM and 32GB ver at CNY 1499 (RM872). The phone hit the shelves in China on April 30, 2015. We expect the Lenovo K80 4GB RAM Price in Malaysia will be around RM900 to RM1,100.

Now, let’s have a look at the following table, which will show you a comparison between Lenovo K80 and other 4GB RAM phones (either launched or not):

We think with Lenovo K80, Lenovo Malaysia seems to have their newest bestseller in their hands in the future. What do you think? Would you buy a Lenovo K80?

Together with Gionee Marathon M5, Gionee Elife E8 has recently been introduced at its launch event. After so many leaks spread away, finally it’s officially unveiled but with more surprises, the camera’s ability to be specific.

As you remember, the unique selling point of Gionee Elife E8 is its ability to take 120MP photos instead of just 100MP like we heard. Before Gionee, we had OPPO Find 7 which first surprised the smartphone world by its 50MP picture capability. So, it seems like Gionee is trying their best to impress consumers with the double pic quality.

Looking closer to the Gionee Elife E8 Specs, we learn that the handset is powered by MediaTek MT6795 (aka Helio X10) octa-core 64-bit CPU and 3GB RAM. Additionally, there are 64GB of storage and a microSD card slot to expand to memory if you wish to. On the other hand, Elife E8 owns a 6″ 2K screen, fingerprint scanner, 3,520mAh battery and Amigo UI 3.1 based on Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Gionee Elife E8 Launch: Amazing Camera

And of course, we cannot forget the star of the show! It’s the Elife E8 camera combo including a 24 mega-pixel primary camera and 8 mega-pixel secondary selfie snapper. We used to wonder why a 24MP cam can produce 120MP photos, and now we have the answer: Thanks to software. In other words, the sensor takes advantage of PDAF (phase detection autofocus) to have an extremely fast focus speed from 0.08 to 0.20 seconds, according to Gionee company. That’s really fast. As for the front cam, 8MP can make your selfies look great!

Last but not least, we as well as many other consumers care about the price. Gionee Elife E8 price is set at 2,299 Yuan (about RM1,385 may seem to be the Gionee Elife E8 price in Malaysia). Do you think that is reasonable?

In conclusion, Gionee new flagship smartphone this time really stands out. Its specs are strong enough; design is eye-catching, and the camera’s capability is awesome: 24MP shooter takes 120MP photos! How does that sound?

Gionee Elife E8 Hands-on Pictures:

Besides the flagship Gionee Elife E8, Gionee company also made an official announcement for the debut of Gionee Marathon M5. Yes, that’s the phone with mighty 6,020mAh dual battery.

Gionee Marathon M5 Launch:

As in the previous post, we mentioned that the new Gionee smartphone will feature a dual battery and each of the dual batt is capable of 3,010mAh. Thanks to this combination, it powers the device with a totally huge capacity of 6,020mAh. Moreover, according to Gionee, the incredible battery together with power management software built in M5 will allow it to last for 4 days, even with heavy use.

Other than that, the manufacturer also adds support for fast charging and dual charging chips. As a result, both batteries are able to be charged safely simultaneously. More interestingly, despite owning 2 cells, Gionee M5 is still slim at 8.5mm.

Other specs include a 5.5-inch HD screen, a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 4G LTE, 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSD card). As for the camera, there are a 13MP rear cam and a 5MP front-facing snapper. The whole phone will be running on Gionee’s Amigo OS on top of Android 5.1 Lollipop.

The most important point in today post is that this amazing handset will be available globally on June 25, 2015 with Gionee Marathon M5 price of 2,299 Yuan, which means Gionee Marathon M5 price in Malaysia can be around RM1,380.

So, is that the price you expect for a phone containing a 6,020mAh battery?

2015 has seen the common trend of Full HD and even 2K displays. We though it could have been enough for this year, but maybe not as ZTE company is planning something really outstanding to surprise the world, say, 4K screen solution? Well, rumors are flying, saying that ZTE is working on a new flagship ZTE Star 3, expected to pack the amazing 4K display the same Ultra HD resolution you can find on a 4K TV.

 ZTE Star 3 4K screen: World’s First 4K Screen phone coming!

If this plan is carried out successfully, ZTE would become the world’s first company producing the first smartphone with such a wonderful display. According to some reports, the Star 3 will own a 5.5-inch 2,160 x 3,840 pixel resolution display, giving the display a pixel density of 808ppi. Also note that the bezel is listed at a mere 0.55mm, nearly edge-to-edge.

While the idea of a 4K display can be attractive to many users, others argues that it would not really work as the smartphone’s screen size is not as big as a TV’s one. As a result, there would not be any huge differences between the 2K and 4K, and higher resolution might cost even more. Could it be a waste of money? However, we cannot deny that it is always a good thing to have more innovations since they definitely bring consumers more choices and brand new experience.

So, are you willing to buy a 4K ZTE Star 3 Malaysia? How much would you want for ZTE Star 3 price in Malaysia? Share with us your opinion!

So far we have been listening to a lot of rumors related to OnePlus One’s successor coming in Q3 of 2015. However, the manufacturer still kept quiet until now. The OnePlus team has announced officially that their new product this year will be OnePlus Two.

To prepare for the OnePlus Two debut, the company decides to release some new promotions which will offer their fans a chance to win an unforgettable experience of the OnePlus Two. It’s so great, isn’t it?

The first promotion program is Photo Mania 2015 competition in which you need to take photos and submit the best ones with no editing or filters. The rules don’t specifically mention what smartphone you have to use, but we think that a OnePlus One device can be an advantage. Submission can be done through a dedicated form or posted on OnePlus Instagram with a caption explaining how you took the shot like settings, lighting, meaning, etc.

The other competition is Your OnePlus Story. As the contest’s name suggests, you need to create a video story of you and OnePlus. “To enter, create an original video featuring YOU. Tell us your OnePlus story. What do you want to say to OnePlus? What do you love about the OnePlus One? What are you looking forward to experiencing in the OnePlus 2? Be as creative as you want – we are looking for our most passionate fans,” stated the OnePlus team.

The deadline for both programs is in June 2015 with the grand price of a first-hand experience of OnePlus Two at the OnePlus’s head office in Hong Kong. All expenses for the trip will be paid by the company, besides, “you’ll also get to play a pivotal role in a secret project we have planned for the OnePlus Two launch.”

OnePlus Two name is confirmed

To recap, we now know for sure that OnePlus Two is on the way. And to promote their new flagship smartphone, OnePlus comes up with 2 interesting competitions and the prize is really great, especially to OnePlus fans. So, what are you waiting for, OnePlus Malaysia? Let’s get starting taking gorgeous photos and share with the world!

The Chinese TENAA just revealed an interesting piece of information saying that Lenovo is working on a brand new smartphone. It will sport a big screen near to a tablet. At this time, Lenovo still has not decided any official name for their new product yet but a model name to distinguish from other items: Lenovo PB1-770N.

Rumors have been flying, implying that the new phablet is targeted as a direct competitor to one of Huawei‘s most popular flagship smartphones Huawei P8 Max.

Lenovo New Phone Beast

Lenovo PB1-770N: Leaked information

The Lenovo PB1-770N appears to be inspired by Apple iPhone 6 design since it will feature a metal unibody. There is one and the only one small piece that uses plastic material: the part near Lenovo PB1-770N’s rear camera on the back. The plastic is said to maximize the power and stability of the device’s antenna.

Also from the rumors, we know that the device measures 186.6 x 96.6 x 7.7mm, with a 6.8-inch screen, quite huge for a smartphone. On the other hand, Lenovo’s new phablet is expected to feature 4G LTE, “maybe” 3GB or 4GB RAM and octa-core processor. Also, it can probably include a 16-megapixel rear, dual SIM Android OS.

Until now, we see that Huawei P8 Max seems to be having a real rival coming in the near future when the Lenovo PB1-770N has already made it through TENAA certification. Interestingly, we may have a chance to witness another tough battle between Lenovo and Huawei flagships. Who would win?

From your point of view, do you prefer a smartphone that has such a big screen? Will it make your actions easier and app performance better to experience? Or will it lead to inconvenience when it comes to making calls and texting? Share with us your opinion!

Lately, we spotted the Huawei Honor 7 on TENAA with the model name PLK-AL10. We learned that the new Huawei item will come with an all alloy frame and a fingerprint sensor placed on the back. Apart from them, we know very little about other key Huawei Honor 7 specs.

In the newer leaks, there is a screenshot of the same PLK-AL10 model which gives us a few more details of teh main Honor 7 features. As for the processor, the handset will be powered by the new Kirin 935 chip, also the one that’s built in Huawei P8. Besides, it owns 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage. On the other hand, there is probably another version of Honor 7 with 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM. So, the edition mentioned in the screenshot is the high-end one. In terms of display, Huawei Honor 7 is about to take an expected 5″ FHD screen, running on Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Huwei Honor 7 leaked pictures on TENAA:

Talking about price tag, it is said that the 4GB RAM ver will cost about 2,499 Yuan (RM1,506) while the lower one will start at 1,999 Yuan (RM1,205). We expect that Huawei Honor 7 price in Malaysia will also range from RM1,200 to RM1,500. Though there is no official confirmation from Huawei company about the Honor 7 launch date, many sources predict that the flagship will be introduced this month, sometime around June 24.

At MWC 2015, Lenovo officially unveiled the Lenovo Vibe Shot with a camera taking photos real fast. It features a very slim design and the back looks like a  camera. If someone mistakes Lenovo Vibe Shot for a digital cam, that’s not so strange.

If you look at the following table of basic Lenovo Vibe Shot specs, you can see that its cam is capable of 16 mega-pixels. Furthermore, it partners with Sony 16:9 sensor, including OIS tech to reduce vibration and help capture pics in low light.

This device also supports autofocus tech with infrared, which enables the phone to increase its focusing speed actually 0.157 seconds to be specific.

On the other hand, we cannot forget that Lenovo Vibe Shot is the world’s first smartphone with a triple LED flash along with six lens protected by sapphire glass. Besides, it’s also accompanied by a physical shutter button for phone users to take photos more easily.

In addition, remember that this Lenovo product has an 8MP front-facing snapper which promises you many great selfies of yourself and friends.

Other than that, the machine owns 32GB of internal storage and can be expanded up to 128GB, so you don’t have to worry about managing a lot of images or videos you want to take.

In the end, though we still have not received any official information about Lenovo Vibe Shot Malaysia release or Lenovo Vibe Shot price in Malaysia, we really hope that the company will soon plan that in this second half of the year. Note that Lenovo Vibe Shot is now available in China at 1,799 Yuan (RM1,085).
