Mlais is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer that is gaining more attention from consumers nowadays. With Mlais M7 that has just been launched lately, you may be surprised with the AnTuTu points it scores: more than 48,000. Let’s find out what it takes for Mlais M7 to achieve such high scores.

Mlais M7 Specs:

Mlais M7 has a 5.5-inch (1280×720, 300ppi) IPS display, powered by 64-bit octa- core MediaTek MTK6752 processor. The phone is covered by a metal frame with screen protection from scratches and also supports multi-touch functionality. On the back, there is a 13 mega-pixel Sony IMX135 camera with LED flash and autofocus. Moreover, it is able to record 1080p Full HD video at a rate of 30 frame per second wit included HDR, video stabilization, and dual-video recording features. In addition, a secure fingerprint scanner like Ulefone Be Touch or Elephone P7000 will also be built on the phone. Besides, the brand logo is also placed at back bottom of the device.

Meanwhile, the front surface contains a 5 mega-pixel cam for selfie and video calls, and 3 capacitive buttons on the bottom. You will have 2 colors to consider: Black and White for pre-ordering, yet it can probably come with more color variants when put in store. Other tech specs are 4G LTE support, dual SIM, 3GB RAM, 16GB of expandable storage (up to 64GB via microSD card), Android 5.0 Lollipop and a 2,600mAh battery that can deliver day long battery backup for average usage.

Back to the AnTuTu scores, it shows that Mlais M7 is ranked third, just after Meizu MX4 and Samsung Note 4 with impressive 48,262 points. This somehow promises users smooth performances and great experience when they use Mlais M7.

Even though Mlais is planning to release M7 at the end of May, some online resellers have put this smartphone in the pre-ordering list. It is said that Mlais M7 price is going to be around $199 (Mlais M7 price in Malaysia can be RM720).

In conclusion, Mlais M7 is kind of new but with a price under RM750 and more than 48,000 AnTuTu points, Mlais M7 can become a strong competitor. How about you? Do you think Mlais M7 will have any chance to make a huge business?

Meizu is heading to their event on 2 June, 2015 with many new things to introduce. For those who keep wondering what they are and how they look like, you may find it helpful for your guess when a leaked photo of Meizu MX5 has been spotted. It seems like Meizu MX5 sure will take the borderless look just like what we have seen in some current renders.

Looking at the following leaked picture, we can be sure once again that the MX5 and MX5 Pro will have border-less designs. Definitely, when they come out, these two devices will be compared with Nubia Z9, which is launched lately also with no bezel. Besides, it is said that MX5 Pro is going to include a fingerprint scanner just like its predecessor, the MX4 Pro.

Meizu MX5 Smartphone

Additionally, some clues for Meizu MX5 Specs as well as MX5 Pro Specs have been mentioned these days. To be specific, they could feature a MediaTek MT6795 SoC octa-core 2.2GHz processor and a 41MP PureView Camera in Collaboration with Nokia. Anyhow, there’s not much detailed information to say about this mysterious duo.

At the end of the day, those rumors about Meizu MX5 and MX5 Pro are not confirmed officially yet. As getting closer to Meizu event on 2 June, hopefully the company will reveal more about MX5 and its Pro version, and perhaps the Meizu MX5 Malaysia with a reasonable MX5 price in Malaysia. Let’s wait and see!

If you remember, at the beginning of this year, Lenovo launched its K3 Note, which is a competitor to ZenFone 2 ZE500ML. Moreover, being a 5.5-inch FHD display phablet with 2GB RAM and 64-bit MT6752 processor, Lenovo K3 Note is also usually compared with other smartphones such as Meizu M1 Note, Mlais M52 Note or Xiaomi Redmi Note. We can say that this is a remarkable phone with affordable price and good specs.

Lenovo K3 Note Specs:

Lenovo K3 Note Specs are quite similar to ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE500ML Specs. It owns a large 5.5-inch IPS wide fit display with 1080p resolution (401ppi). Besides, the Lenovo K3 Note is powered by a 64-bit octa-core MediaTek MT6752 1.7GHz chipset paired with Mali-T760 graphics processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage (and up to 32GB microSD). As for camera, K3 Note has a combo of a 13 mega-pixel rear cam with dual-tone LED flash and a 5 mega-pixel front shooter. Other tech features include dual SIM, 4G LTE support and a 3,000mAh replaceable battery, which can last for about 2 days on one charge with average usage. The whole device runs on VIBE UI 2.5 system based on Android 5.0 Lollipop. Furthermore, hardly serious lag or heating issues are reported by K3 Note users.

In terms of looks, K3 Note appears thin at 7.6mm, weighs 150 grams and comes with 2 colors: white and bright lemon yellow which is very eye-catching. The back cover is made of textured plastic with the brand’s name placed in the middle of the upper part. The volume and power buttons stay on one side of the phone while the other side contains the earphone jack of 3.5mm and the microUSB slot.

Lenovo K3 Note Price is also a plus for this product. For a regular version, K3 Note price in Malaysia is less than RM700, and it costs buyers about RM800 for the Lemon Version, which is just slightly different due to a special “ceramic piece vibration speaker” pumping out more decibels.

Lenovo K3 Note Hands on and Unboxing:

In the end, no doubt Lenovo K3 Note would be worth what you pay for it. It has a big screen, good battery life, powerful-enough processor and one more key selling point is that K3 Note scores more than 46,000 AnTuTu points, which means the performance of this device is fantastic.

If you remember, Gionee’s President has claimed that they would introduce Elife E8 later this year. This phone is considered a beast due to its camera’s ability of taking 100 mega-pixel photos. And now, consumers may even get more interested since a new edition of Gionee Elife E8 has just been spotted in TENAA leaks. It is going to dress a gold chassis as what we see in the following render.

Gionee Elife E8 Gold Version

In previous renders, we could see that Gionee Elife E8 is likely to sport a mounted fingerprint scanner below the rear camera and dual-LED flash on the back, and now, we can get a better view of how E8 looks like. The glossy metal chassis with 3 physical buttons on one side will cover the phone and in another color apart from black. Perhaps we will have a gold version for Elife E8 this year.

Let’s take a quick look at the Gionee Elife E8 Specs. It is going to feature a 6-inch display with 2K resolution and a pixel density of 639ppi. On the other hand, the phone will have 3GB RAM, 32GB of expandable storage (up to 128GB via microSD card), a fingerprint scanner and a 3,520mAh battery. In addition, it also supports 4G LTE, 3G, Wi-Fi as well as other standard features. The whole device will be powered by MT6795 SoC and Android 5.0-based Amigo UI. Along with the 7MP front-facing shooter, we have to mention the E8 23MP rear camera which is amazing and considered as the key selling point for this handset because with this cam, Elife E8 is capable of producing 100MP photos. Consumers who want great pictures can take this into consideration.

If you are waiting for Gionee Elife E8 Gold, you may just need to wait a bit more as Chinese smartphone manufacturer Gionee confirmed that it will be launched around the second week of June in China. Anyhow, no words have been made for official Elife E8 Malaysia launch date or Elife E8 price in Malaysia. Keep waiting!

If you are waiting for Meizu new products, you may feel excited that the manufacturer is going to release not one, but TWO smartphones this year. This information is raised up when 2 Meizu devices have been sported in an official Chinese document.

To be specific, on 2 June, 2015, Meizu will hold an event in Beijing and introduce a new smartphone including a physical home button. It is much likely that the new one can be Meizu M2 Note (also known as Blue Charm Note 2 in China). The company’s Vice President – Li Nan, has also confirmed that the new Note will not feature fingerprint scanner like some current phones on the market nowadays.

In terms of Meizu M2 Note Specs, it is believed to boast a 5.5-inch 1080p screen, 2GB RAM and 16GB or 32GB of storage. The whole phone will be powered by an octa-core MT6752 64-bit processor with Cat 9 LTE support, and equipped with a combo of a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP front-facing shooter. Also, the handset will support 4G LTE connectivity and Android 5.1 Lollipop with Meizu’s Flyme OS on top.

Meizu M2 Note?

As we have mentioned above, there are 2 new Meizu handsets listed in the document. So if one of them is the M2 Note, how about the other? Many people predict that actually the internal code names of the phones, M575M and M575U, are for the same smartphone but with different network support. One version is for China Mobile’s TD networks and the other for internationally used frequencies. Furthermore, Meizu makes consumers more curious about the M575U as it provides help with WCDMA, FDD-LTE and GSM networks.

So, those are some information about the coming Meizu smartphones. However, to make sure that they are true or not, we still need to wait a bit more for Meizu to announce their official devices first in China, then they will probably bring us Meizu M2 Note Malaysia with a detailed M2 Note Price in Malaysia.

It’s almost the end of May; just a few days ahead to go. Stay tuned for our updated news!

Moreover, the Chinese phone comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. As it does not support microSD expansion, this might be a drawback for users who require more space for photos, videos, and apps.

OPPO’s latest smartphone OPPO R7 Plus launch has occurred in OPPO’s 10-year history ceremony in Beijing, China. We heard a lot about its specs and design before OPPO R7 Plus launch date, but they were rumors, and now the manufacturer made it official with some small changes. Let’s take a look at the detailed features of R7 Plus.

R7 Plus comes with a 6-inch (1920×1080, 367ppi) AMOLED display that stretches from edge to edge, surrounded by premium metal. People are aware that R series phones get known as super thin devices, and being a member of this family, R7 Plus also looks very slim with thickness of 7.7mm and weight of 203 grams. The phone is powered by Qualcomm MSM8939 octa-core 1.5GHz processor along with 4G dual SIM, 3GB RAM, and 32GB of storage that still can be expanded up to 128GB with a microSD card. One more selling point for this smartphone is its huge 4,100mAh battery with VOOC charging, a lot larger than the capacity of its peer OPPO R7 2320mAh battery.

In terms of ability of taking photos, R7 Plus sports a 4 color RGBW 13MP rear camera like Huawei P8’s with dual LED flash. With this 4 color setup, pictures will become brighter with less noise. Besides, we have a fingerprint scanner below the cam that helps users unlock the phone without sliding over it. That is a special thing about R7 Plus since R7 is not able to be equipped with this feature. In addition to the main shooter, R7 Plus boasts a 8MP front-facing one, which can attract those who like quality selfies. Strangely, while OPPO R7 has capacitive front buttons, R7 Plus chooses on-screen ones, and along with Android 5.1 Lollipop, R7 Plus will run on ColorOS 2.1, which is also introduced as the latest version of OPPO Color OS in the event. Color OS 2.1 will be showing a new prettier interface and getting faster and more responsive.
