We all heard about the rugged phone of No1 M2 which is packed many high-end specs but reportedly comes with a super affordable price of under 100 USD. The No1 company also introduced the No1 Mi4 which is known as the perfect clone of the Xiaomi Mi4. It seems that the company always wanna create the attractive “look-alike” device of the famous brand at the time with much more affordable price well. Now, No.1 get back to their clone roots with a replica version of the impressive Samsung Galaxy S6 which is reportedly ready for sale.

Wow!!! A perfect clone of the amazing luxury Samsung Galaxy S6 with impressive price tag, meaning much more cheaper. Not bad!!! The phone will come with a beautiful design but with great speed as well as a lovely camera. So if you find hard to get in your hands the latest Samsung Galaxy S6, therefore, the phone is possibly your great alternative choice.

In reality, there are too many clones in the market now, but as they have been on the quiet side these days when No.1 have succeed in getting out of the market first with a “perfect clone” version of the latest Sammy product.

To be honest, we don’t have chance to get these exclusive hands on photos of the Samsung Galaxy 6 replica but it looks like the phone will remain accompanying with decent specifications. Therefore, we hope the device will feature a 64bit processor and 2GB RAM at least. Other specs are not revealed yet. Stay tuned and we’ll dig for more info.

More than a week ago, a China Mobile staff leaked photo supposed to be Xiaomi’s next budget-friendly smartphone. The phone is powered by a Leadcore CPU. Leadcore isn’t as famous as MediaTek or Qualcomm but still is a tough competitor in the race. It is understandable that Xiaomi uses Leadcore CPU for 51% shares of Leadcore Technology are hold by Xiaomi. The device will cost about $80 (or RM 296). According to a report out of China yesterday, the phone would be launched on April 8^th.

Some rumored specs of the phone includes:

• 4.7-inch 720p Display
• 1.6Ghz Lead Core (LCI LC1860C) CPU 28nm Quad Core Cortex – A7
• Mali T628 GPU to handle the graphics.
• 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM, microSD slot is included
• 4G LTE supported.
• 13-megapixel Rear Camera and 2-megapixel front camera
• Android 4.4.4 ( Kitkat ) pre-installed

The device has something in common with the current Redmi 2 except for the chipset being replaced by Leadcore. With the price of about $80 (RM 296), there no doubt that it will help Xiaomi reach the goal of selling 80 million to 100million units this year.

So far, the official name of this phone still remains a mystery but this phone has what it takes to be a bang in low-priced smartphone market.

Let’s wait until April 8^th to see exactly what Xiaomi does want to show us.

Lets say it like this: OnePLus has always been an unconventional manufacturer, with their phone and their Marketing Strategies. The next news fron OnePlus is definitely mind blowing – the first OnePlus DRONE.

According to OnePlus Co-Founder and employees on Reddit, OnePlus will be releasing a Drone next month. Get it DR-ONE? OnePlus has been teasing a new product launch for some time now, that is supposed to launch in April. On a recent REDDIT AMA by OnePLus, they confirmed that the new Launch will be a Drone, the DR-1.

We dont have many facts about the OnePlus Drone yet, only that it will be called DR-1 (DRONE). Of course the big advantage of OnePlus is that they would have all the technology and hardware readily available. The vast majority of Consumer Drones like the DJ1 is produced in China at the moment.

We expect the OnePLus DR-1 to have the ability to mount an action camera like the Go Pro or even Xiaomi’s Yi Action Camera. We might even see an onboard camera preinstalled.

We believe that OnePLus will keep its Marketing and Sales Strategy consistent. One the Plus side this means, that the OnePLus Drone should be very affordable, quite possibly with a Price Tag under 350USD, similar to the OnePlus One Smartphone. At the moment there is no real high quality Drone Available under 500USD, so OnePlus could really grab a chunk of that emerging Consumer Drone Market.

OnePlus Founder says on REDDitt they will launch a DRONE in April. What do you think about this Launch? Would you be interested in buying a OnePLus Drone?

Following HTC’s move when cooperating with Beast Audio to launch headset for its products, Microsoft had teamed up with with Coloud (a Swedish maker of audio accessories) to manufacture and introduce a new headset for Lumia smartphones. Called, Hoop by Colous, this is an in-ear headset created with the aim of attracting users with active life style. In a word, it is built to “handle your favorite workouts.”

Designed by Microsoft, the new device is splash-proof, protected against dust and sweat along with a tangle-free cable. It is covered by a reflective material that helps you stay visible in the dark. An adjustable support loop helps you to keep the earpieces in your ears so keeping you out of distraction from whatever you are doing.

 

The in-ear headphone is said to have a 32 ohm speaker impedance and the ability to produce sound from 20Hz to 20,000 Hz. It weighs 20.5 g and can bear the temperature between -5 and 40 degrees Celcius (or 23 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit) but still operate well. It is also a pretty sensitive headset, too, which means you can play use with your Lumia handset or tablets.

Now, the Europe seems to be the only market where the Hoop by Coloud headset is available at the price of €29. It is offered to customers in 3 different colors: orange, green and black.

Microsoft suggests using the Hoop by Coloud on the new Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL (other Lumia smartphones are still compatible).

Look at the 3 variants here. Are you interested in buying it for your Lumia?

Asus’s fans in mainland China yesterday had had a good news to hear that 3 version of the flagship killers Asus Zenfone 2 was released at the price ranging from CNY 1,299 (RM 766) to CNY 1,999 (RM 1,179).

The Asus Zenfone 2 is making its way to be a global device that everyone, fans or anti-fans, seems to be waiting for it. Up to now, the phone was just officially released in Taiwan and now, we get another official market, even bigger, the mainland China.

Asus Zenfone 2 Specs and Price

Three version for China have been released. At entry level, there is a model pricing CNY 1,299 (RM 766) with 5.5 inches fHD screen display, 1.8 GHz Z3560 CPU and 16GB of internal memory expandable with microSD card. The next version is in mid-range class. This mid-range Asus Zenfone 2 has the same 1.8GHz chipset but 4GB RAM and 32GB internal memory costing CNY 1,699 (RM 1,004). Last but not least, the most high-end Asus Zenfone 2 is 64GB model, which costs CNY 1,999, which is equivalent to RM 1,179. All three of them have a 13MP rear camera capable of 4K video recording and a 5MP front-facing camera.

Unlike everyone’s thought, Asus is not going to offer its customers a 5-inch edition of this flagship. This makes sense because smartphone users in mainland China do prefer large devices. In addition, at this price range and 5.5-inch screen, Asus Zenfone 2 can be a potential opponent of smartphones made by Xiaomi and Meizu.

China market is the homeland of Asus Zenfone so the when it comes to other markets, prices are certainly different. As we guess, Asus Zenfone 2 price in Malaysia will range from RM 900 to RM 1200. This is a hot price for such a flagship killer like the Asus Zenfone 2.

Some hidden test has been taken by Xiaomi for the next generation of Xiaomi phone simply names XIAOMI FERRARI. Most likely Xiaomi will announce this mid-range Flagship End of this month on 31 March. This means that users get more choice with the amazing Galaxy Note Alternatives Mi Note and Note Pro and now a cheaper Xiaomi Ferrari.

This morning, the company had been back to the light when announcing the $320 version of its famous MiTV2 in China. Another product had been unveiled in the event also. A test result found on Geekbench revealed the performance of the phone.

The name we saw on the test is Xiaomi Ferrari. As often, the word “Ferrari” reminds people of red cars, so with this name, Xiaomi’s fans are expecting for a device of the Redmi series.

Showed in the benchmark listings, the Xiaomi Ferrari must be a powerful handset at mid-range level. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC with octa-core 1.65 GHz CPU coming along with 2 GB RAM, the smartphone comes with a 4.9-inch touchscreen display of 1080×1920 pixel resolution, this is nearly the top of the line.

 

At the back, it has a 12MP rear camera which is capable of recording Full HD video along with HDR. At the front will be a 5MP camera and the phone has bunch of sensors that can undertake plenty of modes. Xiaomi Ferrari will run MIUI based on the latest Android 5.0.2 Lollipop.

The size of the display is said to be  4.9 inches, making it a little bit larger than the current Redmi 2, but still smaller than the Redmi Note. The design of this device is now still a mystery for all Xiaomi’s fans but it seems like everyone is waiting for the next wave of shocking news from the Chinese manufacturer.

Xiaomi is expected to launch this Xiaomi Ferrari and more products like the Xiaomi Smart Watch End of this Month at the 31 of March. Will a 4.9-inch screen, SD615 powered Xiaomi phone amaze you?

Xiaomi Mi Note Hands On Review 

New Xiaomi E4 is a much cheaper Mi4 Edition 

Xiaomi Mi Note Pro vs Galaxy Note 4

Hands on with Xiaomi Mi Note Bamboo Edition

Launched by Samsung in Setember 2011, the original Galaxy Note was considered as an impractical combination between tablet and phone.with 5.3 inches screen, the first Samsung Galaxy Note was a really big phone in comoarison with other high-end devices of 2011, since most of them just had screen size of around 4 inches. However, the Galaxy Note is still a success of Samsung up to now with tens of millions of units sold worldwide.
Since the first generation was released, Samsung has launched other 5 version of Note smartphones (including Note II, Note 3, Note 3 Neo, Note 4 and Note Edge) as well as 4 Note tablets (including Note 10.1, Note 8.0, Note 10.1 2014 Edition and Note Pro 12.2). All units have Samsung’s S Pen Stylus, which is the highlight of the Note series.

As usual, when certain types of new products become widely used, the halo of the Samsung Galaxy Note had inspired other manufacturers to create similar products. This article is not about no-name Galaxy Note clone, but about the Note from big companies. We mention here in chronological order.

1. Asus Fonepad Note 6

Published in June 2013, Asus Fonepad Note 6 is the first Note not to be produced by Samsung. It’s a 6-inch-screen (1080 x 1920 pixels) Android device that has its own stylus pen, complemented by a SuperNote app. Besides being powered by a dual-core 2 GHz Intel Atom Z2580 processor, the Asus Fonepad Note 6 further features dual front-facing speakers, an 8 MP rear camera, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal memory that can be expanded. Last but least, it can make phone calls, too.

2. Asus VivoTab Note 8

This is Asus’ second Note: the VivoTab Note 8, which runs on Windows 8.1. This device has a stylus pen too, however it‘s a tablet not a phablet so it can’t make phone calls. The tablet has an Intel processor inside (a quad-core Atom Z3740 clocked at 1.8 GHz), while also featuring an 8-inch display (800 x 1280 pixels), a 5 MP rear camera, an 1.2 MP front-facing shooter, 2 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of expandable storage space.

3. Xiaomi Redmi Note

Released in the first half of 2014, the Xiaomi Redmi Note was Xiaomi’s first extra-affordable smartphone to feature a screen display larger than 5 inches (5.5 inches with 720 x 1280 pixels, to be exact). Though it doesn’t have a stylus, the Redmi Note is definitely Xiaomi’s attempt to allure customers who may pay more attention to Samsung’s Galaxy Note series but were unwilling to pay so much money. With prices starting at around $130, the Redmi Note helped Xiaomi sell more smartphones than Samsung in China in 2014.

4. Xiaomi Mi Note and Mi Note Pro

While the Redmi Note is an average-end handset at cheap prices, the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro are both high-end smartphones, and yet they’re still cheaper than Samsung’s latest Galaxy Notes (Note 4 and Note Edge). Both the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro were announced in Jan 2015, and are currently available only in China. With just $370 for the Mi Note, you will get 5.7-inch, 1080p LCD screen, a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 801 with 3GB of RAM – nearly top of the line specs – smartphone, a 13 MP rear camera, and a 4 MP front-facing camera. Meanwhile, with $530, the Mi Note Pro is offered a 5.7-inch, 1440 x 2560 pixels display, an octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, and 4 GB of RAM, a 13MP main camera, a 4MP front camera and a 3,000mAh battery. No other than the Redmi Note, the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro both don’t have stylus pens.

5. Meizu M1 Note

This Meizu phone is the newest Note to be launched in the world, and is already available in China, where it costs about $160. At this low price, the M1 Notehas made a bang in the smartphone industry when offering it a 5.5-inch 1080p Sharp IGZOdisplay, 4G LTE, a 13 MP rear camera, 5 MP front-facing camera, 2 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of internal memory. The smartphone has two variants, one powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 615 processor, and the other that uses an octa-core MediaTek MT6752 CPU. Hopefully, this M1 Note will be sold globally soon at the price of around $200.

When the Xiaomi Mi4 launched last year in September we were all mighty impressed. After all the Mi4 features the Snapadragon 801, 3GB of RAM and a very high quality 13MP CAM. The Xiaomi Mi4 was Xiaomi’s flagship till the recent Mi Note Launch. But even with the larger Xiaomi Mi Note Alternative the Mi4 stays really affordable with 1999Yuan in China. If you still think this price is too high, Xiaomi has a solution for you with the new and cheaper Xiaomi E4. The Xiaomi Mi4 just passed Certification in China by TENAA (SIRIM or FCC US). The E4 comes with 2GB of RAM instead of 3GB RAM. All other specs are identical to the Mi4. The E4 will be sold in China in three different variants with support for FDD and TDD-LTE. In terms of Xiaomi E4 Pricing we can expect a price of very much under the 300USD of the MI4. This would make a lot of sense for Xiaomi to launch a device that is priced under MI4 and Note Series, but still offers very good and high specs for 2015. Xiaomi did not announce the exact pricing yet though. How much would you pay for the new Xiaomi E4, essentially a Xiaomi Mi4 with just 2GB RAM and a much better price tag? Let us know in the votes and check our Xiaomi Mi4 Articles.

LeTV is said to have enter the crowded smartphone market with at least two new high-end devices. We have already seen the specs of both the LeTV X900 and X600 models and they are both on top of the line. However, what makes us most surprised is not the great specs but the spectacular design of the phone.

Plenty of leaks of the bezel-less design on the new LeTV phone have been pulled out and today, some people from Weibo decided to make the full description of the upcoming LeTV smartphones from the information received till now.

Nevertheless, let us remind you that these are just renders. We must wait till we see the final product being come out (probably in April) before we can truly confirm that the LeTV phone is bezelless.

Pretty as it is, a truly bezelless smartphone doesn’t seem very real for reasons. Drop it on the side, and the screen may go out! Hold it al little tigher, and your palm will cover the display and  leave the screen with numerous fingerprints. But if you absolutely hate screen bezels, the LeTV is a smartchoice for you.

As mentioned, a few days ago, the specs of both models had been leaked. The LeTV X900 is said to feature a Snapdragon 810 processor with 4GB RAM and 2K display. At the back, a 20.7 MP camera is included while up front, there’s a 4 Ultrapixel shooter.

As for the X600, the phone will run on a 64-bit octa-core MT6795 processor with 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and 5.5 inches 1080p display screen. Main camera of this device is of 13 MP while front camera is of 8MP. A new innovation on this phone is that it feartures a Type C USB port, which some may know from the new Macbook.

If the real LeTV smartphone has something in common with these rendors, we are in for an absolute treat. Its design is much prettier than most of the smartphone designs that we have seen lately and the powerful specs further reensure its own attraction.

So, how do you think about these renders? Like it or not?
