They are Chinese devices. They are powerful battery smartphones. They are beautiful in their own ways. They are Oukitel K6000 and ASUS ZenFone Max. Check out this tough battle in the very last days of 2015…

Oukitel K6000 vs ASUS ZenFone Max: A tough game for fantastic battery smartphones

Design-wise, Oukitel K6000 and ASUS ZenFone Max look pretty and give users a sturdy feeling when holding them. However, the phone cannot be called slim, which can be easily understood since both of the handsets own huge batteries. Spec-wise, some similarities you can recognize immediately are that each of them sports a 5.5-inch HD screen, 2GB of RAM, a combo of a 13MP rear and a 5MP front-facing camera, 4G LTE connectivity, and a dual SIM.

In terms of differences once we compare Oukitel K6000 specs and ASUS ZenFone Max specs, there are some main things you need to know. Firstly, the K6000 is run by a MediaTek MT6735P chip, 16GB ROM (expandable to 64GB), Android 5.1 Lollipop OS and a humungous 6,000mAh juicer which can be charged quickly. Just 5 minutes plugged into an outlet can give the K6000 two hours of 2G talk time. Moreover, you can even use this device as a power bank to charge others.

On the other hand, the Max features a Snapdragon 410 chipset, 8/16GB ROM (expandable up to 128GB), Android 5.0 Lollipop and a huge 5,000mAh cell which is claimed to last 2 days by ASUS. Meanwhile, the Oukitel K6000 can provide a 3-day battery life with just one charge, which obviously makes the K6000 better than its rival.

Do you want a smartphone that is both strong in performance and long in battery life? Let’s take a look at this totally new beast Oukitel K6000 Premium with all high-end features

Oukitel K6000 Premium: battery beast with a monster RAM

Oukitel K6000 Premium is the latest smartphone launched by Chinese producer Oukitel. And if you have heard about some of their previous devices, you may already guess the battery capacity of this Premium version of the Oukitel K6000: 6,000 mAH. While the original Oukitel K6000 specs only feature a mid-range 2GB RAM and MediaTek MT6735P chip set, the Premium edition is much improved. Oukitel K6000 Premium sports 4GB RAM and powerful Helio X20 chip set.

Other Oukitel K6000 Premium specs are very appealing too. We have a beautiful 5.5 inch AMOLED display with 2K resolution, a Sony IMX 230 main camera of up to 21MP and a decent 8MP for selfie shooter. Together with 4GB RAM, this latest smartphone by Oukitel offers 32GB internal storage, which can be expandable up to another 128GB via SD cards. We don’t know whether the flagship will have a metal or plastic body, but a full alloy casing is much more expected, since it will make the phone feel more premium.

Together with the K6000 Premium, we have heard that Oukitel will also be launching a Pro version of the smartphone. Oukitel K6000 Pro, reportedly has a 3GB RAM and MediaTek MT6735 chip with 13MP/8MP camera duo, which is the average choice between the original and Premium editions of the phone

Oukitel K6000 Premium: competing against 2016 flagships

We all know that the X20 chip is a high-end chip by Helio, meant to launch in first half of 2016 for heavy flagships. This means, at the time Oukitel K6000 Premium is launch, it will have to face intense competition with other smartphones from bigger producers like Vivo, Xiaomi and Meizu. We just can’t be more excited to see, since 6,000 mAH seems pretty tempting, isn’t it?

2015 is coming to an end with the festive season atmosphere we are enjoying. To wrap up the past 12 months, here are our top 5 smartphones of 2015 that cost no more than USD 300…

1. Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Pricing around USD 300, Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is quite an ideal device for its money. This budget Xperia smartphone looks good and builds good with 2GB RAM, 64 bit, Dual SIM and waterproof. The device also offers very nice Sony camera sensors of 13MP and 5MP resolution that capture very high-quality pictures even under low light conditions. Sony Xperia M4 Aqua is obviously one of the most favorite Sony smartphones launched in 2015, and one of the best smartphones for USD 300 in the past 12 months

Gionee is a company usually well known for their great battery smartphones (which pack huge batts, in other words). And lately, another handset like that called Gionee Marathon M5 Plus has been spotted on TENAA…

Gionee Marathon M5 Plus: A fantastic 6-inch phablet with HUGE battery

Yes, not long ago, a TENAA post revealed a new model made by Gionee. It belongs to the Marathon line which is famous for handsets equipped with very big batteries (usually more than 4,000mAh). The phone’s name is Gionee Marathon M5 Plus and the design has some changes if compared to the original Gionee Marathon M5. Specifically, there are a physical home button on the front and a big rear camera placed in the middle at the top of the machine.

Spec-wise, Gionee Marathon M5 Plus will feature a 6-inch AMOLED Full HD screen (which is larger than the M5), 3GB of RAM and a MediaTek octa-core SoC chip (but the model is still unknown). Other Gionee Marathon M5 Plus specs contain a combo of a 13MP main and a 5MP secondary camera. Though the Plus is bigger in size, it sports a 5,020mAh cell which is smaller than the M5’s 6020mAh one.

Nonetheless, that is still an impressive number, right?! And it is also enough to make Gionee Marathon M5 Plus outstanding among many phablets on the market now. Besides, we would like to praise it for the thickness. Despite boasting such a huge battery, the device is kind of slim at 8.2 mm.

Of course we all want our smartphones to last long with just a single charge. But, the fact is another thing. So, have you ever wondered why your handset runs out of energy fast? Here are the reasons which will surprise you! Check them out now!

1. Wi-Fi:

What’s wrong with the Wi-Fi? No, actually, what’s wrong with a smartphone whose Wi-Fi mode is turned on continually? The answer is that it is one of the main reasons why your smartphone’s battery is drained. Imagine that when your device is not connected to Wi-Fi, it endlessly searches for a Wi-Fi connection every 30 to 90 seconds, which means it’s gonna work for all day long and surely consume energy to “live”.

2. 4G Radio:

4G technology is a great invention, but you also have to be aware that it requires larger hardware and much more battery than Edge or 3G network. In addition, the way 4G radios work is similar to the Wi-Fi radio. It will non-stop scan for available networks whenever not connected. Well, so if you do not need 4G, turn it off to save more energy as well as protect your battery life.

3. Bluetooth:

Yes, sometimes you will have turn on the Bluetooth to transfer images, songs, etc. between 2 machines and then forget to disable it. This is when the phone’s Bluetooth becomes the reason why your handset’s batt is very easily got drained. Just like the aforementioned points, the enabled Bluetooth radio will endlessly seek a connection without your intention.

4. Background applications:

Most smartphone users tend to run an application and change to use another one without removing the unnecessary one. You may think that is a normal case, yet it does harm your device’s battery life. Applications such as Skype, Facebook, Whatsapp running in the background take much more battery juice than what you can imagine.

5. Brightness

Last but not least, it is about the brightness of the screen. Sometimes you just keep only one brightness level for your machine. Nonetheless, that is not good for your eyes and your handset’s battery life because there are many situations where a too bright display is not necessary and you work for so long, then the energy is just wasted without being useful.

Well, those are some main reasons to explain why your precious smartphone battery is getting worse through time. Perhaps you do not mean to do all the things above, but from now on, you know what to do to maintain a good battery life, right?!

We know about many smartphones with huge battery capacity. But have you ever spotted any smartphone with as big as 10,000 mAH battery? This Oukitel K10000 is offering the exact amount…

Oukitel K10000: smartphone and portable power bank

This latest smartphone made by Chinese producer Oukitel is being the King of all battery smartphones, leading far ahead of the current record of 6,000 mAH Gionee Marathon M5 is keeping. The first thought that bumps into your mind could be: “Which such huge battery capacity, it must take forever to charge this smartphone”. Actually, Oukitel has proposed that, by using 9V 2A charging, it only takes you 3.5 hours to fully charge 10,000 mAH of this battery beast – not much longer than others smartphones.

Other Oukitel K10000 specs, besides the impressive battery are: a 5.5 inch IPS display, 2GB of RAM with 16GB internal storage. The phone is powered by a MediaTek MT 6735 SoC. Design-wise, the phone has a firm metal body that measure 9mm of thickness. Oukital K10000 is proving its competitiveness by supporting 4G LTE and dual SIM card slot. However, one small point is that, Outkitel K10000 doesn’t seem like to focus on the camera function, featuring a 8MP main camera and 2MP selfie shooter.

Let’s take a simple example. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 battery has a 3300 mAhH capacity. If taking the Oukitel K10000 as power bank, we theoretically, we can fully charge 3 Note 5 units and still have 10% battery left. Isn’t it nice to have such a phone, whose battery we can rely on for many days, and use as power “source” for other devices at the same time.

Oukitel K10000: surprisingly affordable for a 10,000 mAH beast

Impressive as it looks like, the Oukitel K10000 will not cost you a fortune. Instead, it targets as the mid-range market. Oukitel K1000 price is as low as USD 240, and on promo price at only USD 199 on some online retailer. It is said that Oukitel will start shipping the handset on January 2, 2016. Few more weeks to go.Oukitel K10000: first smartphone with 10000 mAH battery

How much would you like to pay for a smartphone equipped with 2K display, 4GB RAM and a Snapdragon 810 chip as Shallots Metal? How about less than $350? That sounds kind of too good to be true but you’d better believe. 

Shallots Metal: New powerful smartphone to beat flagships!

This is a Chinese device which is said to aim at Xiaom Redmi Note line-up. At first, we thought it would be hard for Shallots Metal to beat a giant smartphone manufacturer as Xiaomi and its budget but so strong handsets such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and the latest Note 3. However, after knowing what Shallots Metal’s got, we have to change our mind. Yes, the Shallots Metal specs can even defeat Xiaomi Mi Note or be compared with Xiaomi Mi Note Pro.

Specifically, the Metal owns a 6-inch 2K display, a Snapdragon 810 processor, 4GB RAM, 128GB ROM (expandable), and a fingerprint sensor. As for the camera, there are an 8MP front-facing and a 16MP rear-facing snapper with f/2.0, PDAF tech and capability of recording 4K videos. Besides, the whole machine is powered by an impressively big 5,100mAh. Well, those are such excellent features for a smartphone.

Well, now you understand why we said Shallots Metal could totally become a “scary” rival not only to Xiaomi Redmi Note phones but also to many other handsets on the market at the moment. But, that is in terms of specifications. Price will be the key point here to support our thinking. Check the next part for Shallots Metal price.
