Seems like this device will be more powerful than its brother MX5.
In terms of camera, Meizu company may build a 20.7MP cam on the MX5 Pro’s back and hopefully with a great selfie snapper on the front. On the other hand, a 4,000mAh can be a good choice for Meizu MX5 Pro.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Mini 4.6 inches appeared on GFXBench
Today, more and more phablets with 5.5-6-inch screen are introduced to consumers, but not everyone needs a big screen. For those who prefer a smaller device, manufacturers satisfy them with something called “mini-version”.
Lately, one mini version can be named is Samsung Galaxy S6, having appeared on GFXBench’s database with a model name SM-G9198. In terms of specs, it will be equipped with 4.6-inch display with 1280 × 768 resolution, slightly higher than 720p.

Hopefully we will have ASUS ZenFone Selfie Malaysia soon this year.
ASUS ZenFone Selfie: Catch the perfect moments of you
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!
“I’m not the only narcissist in this room, we all want to be beautiful, right?” ASUS’s Design Director, Jen Chuang, shared at the press event, just before holding up the handset and snapping a selfie of herself.
“At night or in a party, you might not usually be able to capture anything, but with our colour-merging tech, we can increase light sensitivity by 400 percent,” added Chuang. “Macro focusing goes as close as 6cm to bring all the details out you don’t see” – Wow, she does know what most customers are concerning about!
ASUS ZenFone Selfie means ASUS ZenFone 2 with enhanced cameras: If you like ASUS ZenFone 2, you’re gonna like ASUS ZenFone Selfie.
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.

| Connectivity | Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot |
| SIM | Dual SIM |
| Color options | Pure White, Chic Pink, Aqua Blue |
For now, we don’t know for sure about Asus ZenFone Selfie Malaysia price yet. However, when comparing Selfie to other variants of the Zenfone 2, we assume that Zenfone Selfie price can be less than $300 (RM1,112).
In conclusion, if you are a fan of ASUS or you like taking selfies with high quality, ASUS ZenFone Selfie can be an ideal choice because the front cam of the phone is upgraded up to 13 megapixels, just like the rear snapper. Isn’t it amazing?

ZTE Star 3 leaked renders
Apart from the cam, there are not many words on ZTE Star 3 specs. However, because of being a member of ZTE Start series, we guess that Star 3’s features will also based on what ZTE Star 2 has but with more upgrades. If that’s the case, ZTE Star 3 can be a 5.5” HD screen, running 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 cam or cams, but of course, if the company can improve the cams to more than 13MP, the phone’s gonna be awesome. Besides, there can be two color options as what’s shown in the pictures: dark gray and shiny blue.
So, it has been nearly 6 months passing by since the ZTE Star 2 launch. In addition, people are also spreading some renders of ZTE Star 3 these days, so the possibility that ZTE will bring back the Star series in this second half of the year is high, perhaps in the next months.

10 gorgeous premium smartphones 2015
If the first six months of 2015 sees the releases of many high-end devices such as Samsung Galaxy S6, S6 edge, Xiaomi Mi Note Pro, HTC One M9 and LG G4, the smartphone market will even get hotter in the second half due to the highly possible debuts of upcoming high-end phones. So, what are they?
10 premium smartphones 2015:
1. Samsung Galaxy Note 5:
So far, information of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has not appeared much, yet it is likely that this product will own 4K display with a size of 5.9 inches. Besides, it is expected to boast 4GB RAM, Snapdragon 808 CPU and an S-Pen stylus. Galaxy Note 5 battery possibly packs at generous capacity of 4,100mAh or maybe even larger. Other than that, Note 5 camera will be of the Samsung quality that consumers love: 16MP rear cam with OIS and 8MP front shooter.
Samsung Note line has always cost quite a bunch. The Galaxy Note 4 price in Malaysia retails for RM2,499, so from our guess, the Galaxy Note 5 price in Malaysia could start at RM2,900 or so.
2. Apple iPhone 6S and 6S Plus:
Apple’s products this year can be iPhone 6S and 6S Plus equipped with latest upgrades like Force Touch tech, which debuted on new MacBook andApple Watch, and new Apple A9 chipset. Moreover, there could be 10MP or 12MP cam and 2GB LPDDR4 memory.
The iPhone 6S 5.5” may look more graceful with a sapphire glass display. However, it seems to be only a limited edition while the mainstream models are going to employ the Ion-X glass. Additionally, Apple will add more color for people’s choices: Rose Gold and Tyrant gold Brilliance. Finally, the report also mentioned the Touch ID with improved accuracy to promote Apple Pay.
3. Sony Xperia Z5:
Sony Xperia Z5 is said to be a masterpiece of 2015, even prettier than iPhone 6. It will adopt a new premium metallic design with a completely clean front end and a frosted glass effect, inspired by the recent BRAVIA television sets. Moreover, it is expected to sport a QHD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM. In addition, Z5 body lock screen button will be integrated fingerprint recognition and the latest Sony camera featuring a 21-megapixel rear cam and a new IMX230 sensor with OIS.
However, everything is not for sure. But with such beautiful look and great specs, Sony Xperia Z5 promises to bring consumers good experience.
4. Xiaomi Mi5:
According to leaks, Xiaomi’s next-generation flagship Mi5 will be launched on 5 November, 2015. Some reliable revelations about Mi5 specs are also spotted like Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM, 5.5-inch 2K screen and a 16MP or maybe up to 20MP rear camera. There are two versions for users’ choices, 16GB and 64GB of storage.
Another guess is that the new Xiaomi Mi5 will go on sale along with its sibling Mi5 Plus coming with 6-inch screen and similar specs as Mi5. As for the price, it’s still a mystery.
5. Huawei Mate 8:
There’s not many details about this Huawei’s member. All we know is that it can have a 6” Quad HD screen and 64-bit octa-core Kirin 930 chipset. Other specs may include fingerprint scanner, 20.7MP rear shooter, and 4G LTE Cat 6 support.
Some leaks say that Mate 8 will appear in this autumn with a price of $600. Will it also be the Huawei Mate 8 price in Malaysia?
6. Huawei D8:
It seems like Huawei is ambitious this year when planning for many high-end smartphones’ debuts in 2015. Apart from Huawei Mate 8, Huawei D8 will probably join the race. It will take a 5.5” QHD screen, 4GB RAM, 64GB of internal storage and Kirin 950 chip.
7. Microsoft Lumia 940 and 940XL:
In this case, we know about them better since Microsoft has claimed their specs. Specifically, this duo will run on Windows 10. The bigger device is Lumia 940XL, haing a 5.7-inch display with 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection. On the other hand, it uses octa-core Snapdragon 810 with Adreno 430 GPU, 3GB RAM, and 32GB of expandable storage. In terms of camera, it’s got a 20MP PureView rear camera with Short Pulse variable-tone LED Flash and 5MP front-facing cam.
Besides, Microsoft is also working on a 5-inch Lumia 940 that will have similar specification as the Lumia 940XL.
8. OnePlus Two:
A listing recorded in the database of Geekbench on May 20, 2015 reveals that the next OnePlus’s handset will feature 3GB RAM with Android 5.1 Lollipop together with Snapdragon 810 MSM8994 1.5GHz. However, apart from that, we cannot tell more about the OnePlus Two specs. Even the name for it has not been confirmed yet.
Though the camera wasn’t mentioned, according to various reports, we expect OnePlus will get a better camera, probably from Sony Exmor 20.7MP, for their new device.
9. OPPO Find 9:
Actually, at the moment no official words including an official OPPO Find 9 launch date and price have been made. We just learn that Find 9 possibly will be powered by the powerful Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with 4GB RAM and equipped with a 5.5-inch 2K display.
10. Huawei Nexus:
Huawei Nexus this year can be a 5.7-inch 2K AMOLED screen in combination with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor. However, this is quite different from what we expected. Many people thought that Huawei would make the new Nexus with its own SoC. Even Huawei’s decision of featuring a 2K screen surprises people since it will harm the battery life. Additionally, Huawei Nexus maker’s executive used to say that 1080p was good enough for a compact phone, no need for 2K. If the news on Huawei Nexus turns out to be true, it must have been Google who insisted on Huawei using Qualcomm chipset and 2K screen for the next Nexus phone.
Well, those are 10 remarkable high-end smartphones coming in the second part of the year. What are your opinions? Do you have something else other than those listed phone? Share with us!
