After a lot of leaks and rumors, finally the Honor 6 Plus, the big brother of Honor 6 launched official in Beijing. As we reported earlier the Honor 6Plus comes really with Dual Rear 8MP Cameras and this is definitely the coolest feature of the 6 Plus.

This is not the first phone we see with Dual Rear Cameras, but for sure the first one that has dual 8MP Rear Cameras. This is very impressive and allows you to perform a lot of camera centric tricks with the Honor 6Plus. You can easily add filters, refocus on certain areas or even adjust aperture after you took the shot. To make the Honor 6Plus real camera lover phone, Huawei also added a 8MP FrontCamera – true 888 pleasure.

The Honor 6 Plus Dual Camera on the phone seems very impressive. We like the camera especially due to two factors:

1. Fastest autofocus of any phone ( 0.1 s)

2. Variable aperture ( F0.95 – F16)

A slight disadvantage is that it cant record or play 4K since the chipset doesnt support it. On the other hand awesomly it uses PARTLY real eight blade iris aperture F0.95-F2.6, according to this image:

The Honor 6Plus has a larger display then the Honor 6, with a 5.5″ 1080p Full HD display. The 5.5″ display is manufactured by JDI which means it will have decent quality. The Honor 6Plus also sports the newest generation of Huawei’s own Octa-Core KIRIN 925 CPU. The KIRIN 925 series is very strong in terms of raw processing power and can definitely compete with the competiton of Snapdragon 801 and even 805.

The Honor 6 Plus comes as well with 3GB of RAM and with either 16/32GB internal memory. You can extend the memory up to 128GB via Micro SD. The Honor 6 Plus comes also with a large 3600mAh battery, this is even more then the iPhone 6Plus battery. To top this, the Huawei 6 Plus has an infrared blaster built in, so you can even replace your TV remote with the 6Plus.

To round this phone up the Honor 6 Plus has NFC, FDD-LTE CAT 6 for Global 4G LTE and Dual SIM connectivity. The Honor 6 Plus will start at an amazing 1999 Yuan or 320 USD, 1099 RM. Expect to see the Honor 6PLUS selling very soon!

Camera Samples of the Honor 6 Plus: 

In November we heard the news that Xiaomi will be launching a Leadcore cpu-powered smartphone, that could cost as low as 399 Yuan, 65USD and would still sport 4G LTE. Now Xiaomi’s newest 4G low-cost phone just got certification by TENAA, China’s equivalent of SIRIM. We already know some of the specs of Xiaomi’s newest phone.

The most important news about the new Xiaomi Leadcore phone is that it will have 4G LTE, which is very nice at this low price. So far all the news and rumors really point at a price of just 399 Yuan, which Xiaomi mainly achieves by using the low-cost Leadcore processor.

Design wise the new Xiaomi 4G phone looks a lot like the Xiaomi Redmi 1S. The gadget has the same capacitive buttons as the Redmi 1S and has a more understated design. So far we know the xiaomi leadcore device will support TD-LTE/TD-SCDMA/GSM Networks.

Additional specs include a 720 display, 1G GB of RAM and the Leadcore 1860CPU. The Leadcore 1860 is built by 28nm Cortex A7 structure and can be theoretically clocked up to 2GHZ and has the Mali T628 GPU. While we most likely wont see this in a 65USD chipset, the Leadcore 1860 can theoretically support 2K displays and 1080p FULL HD videos.

The device resembles the Redmi 1S handset from Xiaomi to some extent, you get the capacitive buttons below the display and the design doesn’t exactly scream “look at me!”, but it does the trick. The device has support for GSM / TD-SCDMA / TD-LTE network bands. The handset uses Leadcore 1860 (LC1860) processor, while it features a 720p display and 1GB of RAM, which is rather staggering if you consider the price point.

We do not have an official name for the new Xiaomi phone yet, but considering it has already passed the TENAA Certification it will very likely launch in the next weeks in China. If Xiaomi can really keep the price level of 399 Yuan for a 4G phone, this phone will sell crazy in all Xiaomi markets.

Meizu MX4 PRO 16GB: RM1400
Meizu MX4 PRO 32GB: RM1600

According to the Meizu Presentation, the Meizu MX4 Pro will launch in Malaysia as early as possible. Meizu is looking at end of December or early January 2015. Read our Meizu MX4 Pro Hands On Here.

As you can in see in Meizu’s presentation Meizu will launch two more smartphones, the Meizu K52 and the Meizu Blue Charm Note. These two models are directly targeted at Xiaomi Redmi 1S and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G. Both models sport 2GB Ram, OctaCore Processor with 64-Bit Technology and 4G.

Looks really like Meizu is going full head on with Xiaomi here in Malaysia. Meizu will be also setting up 6 Exclusive stores and service centers in Malaysia, with two Centers in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru and Penang each.

For customers this is really great news. Meizu phones are actually really high quality and for those prices a comparison with Xiaomi is really worth it.

2014 has been definitely the year of Eight Core Processors, moving away from QuadCore on the Snapdragon 801. Even Qualcomm is moving to Eight Cores with their newest Snapdragon 810. We have a comparison of 8 Popular Octa-Core Phones and their Benchmark Scores for you.

If you have decided to get yourself an Octa-Core Phone it is not very easy to choose these days. Basically you can choose from Mediatek, Qualcomm and even more brands like Huawei’s own Kirin series. Thats why we have a Ranking for you on some of the most popular Eight-Core Phones.

2014 eight popular eight-core mobile performance rankings:
1, Meizu MX4 : customized version of MediaTek MT6595 1799Yuan
2, Huawei glory 6 : Hass Kirin Kirin 920 1699Yuan
3, Huawei Mate 7 : Hass Kirin Kirin 925 2999 ​​Yuan
4, Xiaomi Note 3G enhanced : MediaTek MT6592 999Yuan
5, Great God F2: Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 999 yuan
6, Shenzhou X55 : MediaTek MT6592 999Yuan
7, HTC Desire 820 : Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 1999 Yuan
8, OPPO R5 : Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 2999 ​​yuan

In our test the Qualcomm manage to get three scores in the Top 8, with the Snapdragon 615. The Snapdragon 615 with Eight A53 cores is largely targeted at the chinese market and not as powerful as the bigger brothers like Snapdragon 810.

Mediatek has clearly the most experience with Eight-Core Processors. Especially the Meizu MX4 can win this race once more with more then 50.000 points. The Mediatek MT6595 is customized for the MX4 and a real Powerhouse. Also the MT6592 in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3G makes a good impression and manages to score before the Snapdragon OctaCore Processors!

Huawei’s Honor 6 and Mate 7 come in very close second and third with Huawei’s Kirin 920 Processor. The Kirin 920 series in fact very powerful. As other Octa-Core Processors here the GPU cannot compare to Snapdragon 801 and even 800.

Chinese smartphone market have had a success year in increasing the number of affordable, high-quality specs. Xiaomi is now the third largest makers over the world and is the leader manufacturer in the local market. More and more outstanding devices of Xiaomi were launched. Lenovo is also expanding its appearance in new market. Next is Huawei that is trying to enter to the hard and competitive US market.

Many of you have waited for the Xiaomi MI4 FDD-LTE that will work on LTE networks outside of china. This afternoon xiaomi has announced that Xiaomi MI4 FDD-LTE will start selling on tuesday 16th, next tuesday.

When Xiaomi first announced the Xiaomi Mi4 phone, many customers were a bit disappointed. The original Xiaomi MI4 was working only on chinese TDD-LTE. Now finally Xiaomi will start selling the Unicom Version OF Xiaomi MI4 FDD-LTE. For now Xiaomi will only start selling the Xiaomi MI4 16GB in white for a price of 1999Yuan. You still need to wait for the Black and 64GB Version.

This afternoon, millet announcement that will be December 16 (next Tuesday) officially started selling Unicom version of millet phone 4G 4, but only the white 16GB version available, priced at 1999 yuan, 64G version of the black version and need to wait and so on.

We will see the official Launch of Huawei’s first 64BIT Phone the Huawei Honor 4X on 16th. For all of you interested we have found some pictures of a Huawei Honor 4X Gold Version online already.

The Huawei Honor 4X sports Huawei’s own Kirin 620CPU, that uses 8 A53 Cores and is a 64BIT Processor. The Kirin supports TD-LTE, FDD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, and GSM networks. This means that luckily the Honor 4X will work on 4G networks outside of China, unlike other competitors as the Xiaomi Mi4.

Other specs for the Honor 4X include a 5.5″ HD display, 13MP Sony Rear Camera and 5MP Selfie Cam. It will also come with a large 3000mAH battery to support the 5.5″ screen.

It is important to know that Huawei will launch two versions of the Honor 4X with different pricing. The 2GB RAM Version will be proced at 999 Yuan (162 USD) and the Low-Cost Version with 1GB of RAM will sell at 799 Yuan (129USD). This seems that the Honor 4X is targeted at the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G.

If you are inside China you. For all other countries it means waiting till the official launch. The good news though is that the Honor 4X includes Fdd-LTE so its very likely to be launched outside of China.

When Meizu announced the MX4 in September, Meizu’s CEO said they would introduce three more products for 2014. So far we have only seen the launch of the Meizu MX4 Pro. Now finally two new low-cost Meizu phones seem to become reality, including a Meizu Note Alternative to the Xiaomi Redmi Note.

While we reported on the Meizu K52 earlier this week, it seems that the second model might be the long awaited Meizu Blue Charm Note. As you can see from the pics, the phone in Orange is most likely the Meizu Blue Charm Note, the other on the Meizu K52. The Meizu Note will most likely target younger generations and launch in multiple colors.

If you look at the pictures we can tell, that Meizu has taken inspirations from Apple’s iPhone 5C series. The Glossy plastic on the back is just one of the similiarities, while of course the Meizu Note will be much larger with a 5.5″ display. Apart from the pictures we dont have much details to the Meizu Blue Charm Note yet. Its very likely though that Meizu is targeting the phone directly at the Xiaomi Redmi Note. That means you guys can expect similiar specs and pricing as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G.

Most probably the Specs will be similiar to the upcoming Meizu K52, with a bigger screen instead.

Meizu Blue Charm Note Specs

5.5″ Display with Full HD 1080p
MT6752 64-bit Octa Core SoC
FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE
2GB RAM
16GB ROM

Meizu K52 Specs – Competiton to Xiaomi Redmi 1S

The white device you can see in the pictures is most likely the Meizu K52. The Meizu K52 will launch with a much smaller screen and a 4.6″ display. While the Meizu K52 will come with 15:9 aspect ratio, the Meizu Blue Charm Note will have 16:9 ratio.

If meizu keep their announcement, then we will see those two phones launch in the next two weeks. Meizu already announced on Monday a new phone launch and posted a Teaser with a Apple. Could this be a hint connected to the Meizu Blue Charm Note?

If in any case the Meizu Blue Charm Note is as affordable for the high specs as the Redmi Note 4G, this would be awesome. In fact that means that Meizu offers two alternatives to Xiaomi Redmi 1S and Xiaomi Redmi Note. The GAME is ON!

Huawei is finally entering the 64-Bit Era with their newest Honor Phone Play 4X phone. Although Huawei will just have their launch event on 16th december, the Pre-Sales for their new Huawei Honor Play 4X with Kirin 620 64BIT started already.

The Kirin 620 is the first 64Bit processor produced by HiSilicon, which is 100% Huawei owned. The Kirin 620 is a Octacore processor which utilizes 8 A53 cores which should give reasonable high performance. The Kirin 620 comes with the MALI 450 GPU and is LTE Capable. In general for Kirin processors, they tend to be very strong in raw processing power, the potential pitfal is the GPU.

Overall the Huawei Honor 4X specs, stay the same with the Honor Play 4 that launched in September, but the processor. The Honor Play 4X sports a 5.5″ HD Display, 13MP Rear Camera and 5MP Front Camera. It has a 3000mAh battery and will come with two version. The lower-end version will have 1GB of RAM while the higher end version will sport 2GB RAM.

According to current reports the low-end version will sell at 799Yuan and the 2GB RAM version will sell at 999 Yuan. Huawei might even sell the new Huawei Honor Play 4X cheaper though.

The Honor 4PLay X is just one of several Honor devices launched in 16th December. Huawei will also launch the Honor 6Plus with Dual Rear Camera and 4K BOX.

On the weekend there were some rumors about Snapdragon 810 by the Korean Media. They said that the Snapdragon 810 development has some problems and that the launch will be postponed. This would inevitably lead to delay in flagship models like Galaxy S6 and Xiaomi MI5.

Now Qualcomm responded officially to the Rumors, saying that the development for the Snapdragon 810 is completely normal and under control. They further said that the Snapdragon 810 will ship as planned early in 2015 and the first Snapdragon 810 devices will also be available in the first half of 2015.

At the moment many smartphone companies race to get the first Flagship with Snapdragon 810 on the market. There are several flagships with the Snapdragon 810 coming up like the OPPO FIND 9, VIVO Xplay 5 and of course the Xiaomi Mi5.

As we reported to earlier the Xiaomi Mi5 will very likely launch one CES2015 in Las Vegas in January. The Xiaomi Mi5 will sport a 5.7″ 2K screen, Snapdragon 810 and fingerprint Scanner. We are very excited for the first Snapdragon 810 Monsters!

Finally Xiaomi introduces the huge 16.000mAh MI Power Bank officially to Malaysia. The Xiaomi Power Bank with 16.000 mAh is already listed on Xiaomi’s official website and comes with an unbeatable price.

The 16.000mAh Xiaomi Power Bank was introduced in China last month, and is so far the biggest variant of Xiaomi’s Power Bank’s. With 16.000mAH this Power Bank boasts more then 50% more power then Xiaomi’s Standard 10400mAh Version. The new Power Bank comes with five battery cells from high quality manufacturers like Panasonic and LG.

Also the new 16.000mAh Powerbank sports two USB ports, so you can charge two devices, like your Phone and tablet at the same time. When charging two devices the max output is 3.6a, and decreases to 2.1a when just one device is charged. In real life this should still be fast enough for the user, and of course yoy get Xiaomi’s Mi PowerBank 9-layer chipset protection.

If there can be any negative point at such an amazing price, its the loading time to fully charge the Mi Powerbank 16.000mAh. According to Xiaomi’s page it takes up to 9hour for a full charge with 2A plugs and nearly 14hours with the older 1A Plugs.

The 16.000 Mi Powerbank comes to Malaysia as part of Xiaomi’s Christmas Campaign, “Christmas with MI”. The Mi Powerbank will be sold the first time together with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G on 11th December and again on 16th December. The Mi Power Bank will sell for amazing RM79, which is very near at the original price of 129YUAN or RM73 in China.
