A few days ago we broke news that Xiaomi were planning a GoPro style action camera and were working alongside a company in Shanghai to see it happen. Today more fuel for the rumour fire around the Xiaomi MI Camera arrives.

UPDATE: The source has updated the price now to 999 Yuan, which translates to 163USD. That is not as super low as the first news, but still much more affordable then the GO PRO Camera.

We just got the News that Xiaomi might be planning a Xiaomi Mi Pro Action Camera and were cooperating with a company in Shanghai to get it done. Today we got more news for the purported Xiaomi Action Camera that will be produced with Ant Technologys.

In Xiaomi’s high spec-low cost tradition the Xiaomi Mi Pro Camera could come with a price as low as 99YUAN when it launches in online stores end of they year. That is just around 17USD and really only a very small part of what you pay for a GO Pro Hero or similiar Action Camera these days.

The new rumours actually include some more specs about the Mi Camera as well. We believe the Mi Pro Camera will come with 128 degrees wide angle lense, which is a given for Action Cameras to get as much of your surroundings as possible. Further the Xiaomi camera will be able to take 30fps 4K videos or 1080p videos at 120fps. The Videos will be stores on SD Cards and the maximum supported SD card is a huge 128GB!

If the Xiaomi Mi Pro Camera really comes out end of the year already I will be one of the first to buy one for Christmas!

It seems like Huawei has a new Smartphone in the planning, the Huawei Honor 6X phone. Judging by the specs we see on Teenaa the new Honor 6X is definitely an upgrade to the very popular Honor 6, and a real FLAGSHIP phone!

The new Huawei phone just appeared on China’s verion of the SIRIM Database, TEENAA. The Honor 6 will sport a 5.5 inch FULL HD display in a very compact body at 150.4 x 75.68 x 7.5mm.

Also the huawei device will sport an 1.8 Ghz Octa Core Processor, very possible of Huawei’s very powerful Kirin Series. Also the Honor 6X will have 3 GB of RAM and 32GB internal memory, upgradeable with Micro-Sim.

These specs look already very good. Especially the current Honor 6 Kirin 920 OctaCore CPU is extremely powerful, in combination with 3GB of RAM the honor 6x is promising very good performance.

The real promising surprise on the Honor 6X is a Dual Camera with Dual LED Flash though. You can see the dual camera’s in the picture above. It is not yet clear how Huawei will integrate the Dual Cam, but it has been suggested that they could work similiar to HTC’s Duo Camera with extra depth-of-field effect for your pictures. To know which effect or advantages the Dual Camera on the new Huawei phone will bring exactly, we need to be wait though to the official launch though.

The new Huawei Honor 6 is expected to launch End Of the year, so very soon we will know what’s this new powerful Huawei phone with Dual Camera is all about and if it can compete with Xiaomi and Meizu.

These days Xiaomi surely stays in the news and now it seems like Xiaomi is planning their next big thing. At the moment the Action Camera market is dominated by a few high priced Brands like the GoPro4 and rumours suggest Xiaomi wants to have a share of that cake.

GoPro is clearly the most famous and biggest Brand for Action Cameras. The Go Pro Hero Cameras are designed for different sport activities like climbing, mountain biking, surfing or even skydiving. Undisputable the Go Pro Cameras are amazing with great video quality and lightweight design – if you can afford it. The GoPro Action Models are not exactly cheap.

That is exactly why Xiaomi might be planning to move into that market segment. Rumors on chinese new websites suggest that Xiaomi could be creating their own portable Action Sports Camera for the huge market in China. It seems like they are cooperating with the Company Ant Technology in China and could even launch a first product before end of the year.

If these news is true and Xiaomi will produce a low-price Action Camera, we will definitely be one of the first customers here at Oizoioi!

Meizu, at the moment the biggest rival of Xiaomi In China, has announced the November 19th for the release of their newest flagship, the Meizu MX4 Pro.

Meizu and their current flagship the Meizu MX4 definitely achieved to win the hears of many customers. With high specs, a very good camera and nice design at a reasonable price of only 1799 yuan, the Meizu MX4 sold like hot cakes.

This is how Meizu MX4 Pro launch invite looks like:

Now meizu has started sending out official invites for their Meizu MX4 Pro Launch Event on 19th November. The Meizu MX4 Pro will come with Samsung Exynos 5430 Eight Core CPU, with 3GB of RAM and a 5.5″ 2k QHD display. The camera will still be Sony’s 20.7MP sensor with 2160p video. Additionally there will be a fingerprint scanner on its home button, just like some Samsung Devices.

Live Pictures of the Meizu MX4 Pro 

Early Benchmarks confirm those specs of the Meizu MX4 Pro:

What do you think of the Meizu MX4 Pro Launch? Several sources say the price will be around 2499 Yuan(1358RM) in China, the international price is not yet confirmed. We definitely think the design and specs are impressive and could mean further points for Meizu in the “battle” against Xiaomi in China.

We already announced the news that the Xiaomi MI4 will get a Low-Cost Version with Price Cut and now its official. On November 11.11, the big Sales Day, Xiaomi will release a lower spec version of the Xiaomi Mi4, the Xiaomi Mi4 Youth. The Specs will mostly be the same, with the only change of 2GB RAM instead of 3GB. Xiaomi CEO, Lei Jun, has officially confirmed the Xiaomi Mi4 Youth Version on his Weibo Account.

Lei Jun announced that the Special Low Cost Version of the Xiaomi Mi4 will sell for RMB1799(978RM) and launch on 11.11 in China. It will have 2GB of RAM, 4G support and still sport the powerful Snapdragon 801. Further Lei Jun said that Xiaomi achieved to produce 1.2-1.5 Million Xiaomi MI4 phones this month and plan to produce more then 2Million units of the popular Mi4 in December.

The Xiaomi MI4 Youth with its price level of 1799 Yuan is targeted directly on the Meizu MX4 for 1799 Yuan. The Meizu MX4 has sold so well , that Meizu actually got stock problems as well because of the huge demand.

The Xiaomi Mi4 Youth Version will start selling on Tmall on 11.11 but we might see it on international Resellers already before Christmas Season.

One thing is clear with Xiaomi in 2014 – Xiaomi stays in the news. Xiaomi are launching new products, lowering prices and are rumoured to bring a new mid range flagship, a new Xiaomi Redmi , to us next month.

We have got new infos and images of what many think will be the new Xiaomi Redmi 2 with better hardware and an updated design. Most sources indicate that the Xiaomi Redmi 2 will come with Snapdragon 615, 2GB of RAM and LTE Support. The Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pricing could be as low as 1499 Yuan at Launch in China.

Read our Xiaomi Redmi Note vs Galaxy Note 3 Neo Review

Originally the Xiaomi Redmi 2 was believed to come with a 5.5 inch display but now most analysts believe that a Full HD 5.0 inch display is more likely. The reason is that at the moment the retail price of Full HD displays is at an all time low, a great ingredient to make very affordable smartphones.

To sum up the Xiaomi Redmi 2 specs will probably be

CPU: Eight Core Snapdragon 610
RAM: 2GB
Display: 5.0 Full HD Display with 1920 x 1080 resolution
LTE
Pricing: Ca 1499 Yuan (812RM/245USD)

So far so good. Industry analysts believe that the Xiaomi Redmi 2 could launch as early as december, just in time for the Chinese New Year Shopping Season. What do you think of those specs and the pricing for the new Xiaomi Redmi Midrange Flagship?

According to recent information we could already see Android V5.0 on the SamsunG Galaxy S5 as soon as December. As normally with big updates like those on Flagships like the S5, there are already leaks out there for the Lollipop Update.

The guys over at SamMobile have gotten an early build of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update, that is newer then any update we have seen yet. The Lollipop update we can see here is based on Android 5.0 build LRX02E and is including the Lollipop Easter Egg. Most references to lollipops are not in that update yet, probably to prevent further leaks ahead of the Official Samsung Update.

If we compare this Galaxy S5 update to the one that leaked very early in October, this has already more tweaks to make it more fitting with the new Android 5.0 Material Design and look. Some of those changes include smoother animations, new icons, a new system font, and a optimized Material Design Look for a few apps. Also there is an nicer looking User interface for the Settings App.

Overall this Android 5.0 update is definitely an improvement to the one we have seen before. This is still an early build and we are very excited to see what the final Mix of Samsung TouchWiz and Android 5.0 Lollipop is going to look like.

What is your opinion on Android 5.0 Lollipop for Samsung Touchwiz UI?

It just made the news that Xiaomi is now third biggest smartphone manufacturer worldwide. Now it looks like Xiaomi migth expand their tablet offering with a low cost 9.2 inch tablet. So far we only have the Xiaomi MiPad with 7.9 inch.

It looks like the next Xiaomi tablet might be more on the lower end then the MIPAD. A new benchmark has leaked and from what we can see at the moment, its a spec list for a 9.2 inch Xiaomi device.

The new Xiaomi tablet will sport a 1,280×720 display, which is fairly low res for Android tablets. Normally Android tablets would go for a 1,280×800 resolution. But then again the Xiaomi MIpad is not exactly Android Standard either, with it’s Retina Solution.

Read our : Xiaomi MI Pad vs Apple Mini Review 

The new leaked Xiaomi tablet is powered by a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 with a Quad-Core CPU clocked at 1.2 GHZ, Adreno 306 GPU and 1GB of RAM. The built in storage is at 8GB.

On the benchmark we cant see any information about the camera of the Xiaomi tablet. What we can see though, is that you will get a Sim Card slot, that means mobile data connectivity available. It also has GPS, Wifi and Bluetooth.

The benchmark oddly doesn’t feature any information about this device’s cameras, but it does say it will sport a SIM card slot, so it will have mobile data connectivity integrated. It’s also got Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi.

Would you be interested in a super low cost 9.2 inch 720p tablet from Xiaomi? If this is for real, the next leaks will probably follow very soon, and we will keep you updated!
