Macoox is one of his virtually unknown Chinese brands. Yet it might just make a name by offering the smartphone with the battery offering the largest capacity: 9000 mAh. This makes it look like a small brick…

 Some manufacturers want to improve the autonomy of smartphones increasing battery capacity rather than opting for less-intensive components that provide effective software optimizations. Gradually over the past year, we have seen the birth of smartphones to ever more generous batteries: 4000, 5000 or even 6000 mAh. But a new milestone has been reached: 9000 mAh. Is the ability of a tablet battery. Three times the capacity of a battery of high-end smartphone, see five times that of the iPhone 6S). That makes hours listening Apple Music…

 This technological innovation, we need to Macoox, one of many electronics brands based in Shenzhen whose international visibility is almost zero. The company has existed for many years as a design house for international brands, but it changed its mind in 2014 by launching its own brand. It now has five products: the MC-X6, the MC-X7, MC-X7 Min, MC-X9 and EX, a mobile dedicated to seniors. They will be soon accompanied by the EX1.

 Presented at a press conference held in Beijing on 16 November, followed by the Chinese portal MyDrivers, so the smartphone has a 9000 mAh battery, which has a considerable impact on its dimensions: the thickness of EX1 of 14 mm. However, the interest is there: it would have a standby time of one week. For the rest, the mobile offers a range of input configuration. 4.5-inch screen, quad-core chipset (MediaTek certainly) 4G-compatible, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (expandable by microSD certainly), dual-SIM, 8 megapixel camera and 2 megapixel webcam. The story does not say whether the battery is removable or not…

 The price of this curiosity was not discussed during the presentation. And the mobile is not yet arrived on the official site. However, the price should be low enough, given this data sheet unpretentious (besides the battery of course).

We have recently seen outside the world of telephony brands launched their own smartphones. Kodak did the same with the Kodak IM5, a terminal that went unnoticed by US stores. More interesting was the proposal to Marshall, the renowned manufacturer of amplifiers offers a mid-range terminal with advanced audio. Now it’s the turn of Pepsi, yes, the cola manufacturer knew around the world also will launch a smartphone, or so they claim. The American company has launched a campaign of crowdfunding to produce its first smartphone: Pepsi Phone P1. The campaign was carried out in China, where they hope to gather the necessary amount before December 3 when the deadline is to raise funds. We tell you all about the Pepsi Phone P1.

Pepsi Phone P1 has not yet come true but is very close to materializing if Pepsi brand is able to reach 3 million yuan (about 437,000 euros at current exchange rates), a number needed to start the project. So we have from G for Games, which also published a few days ago the rumor of this same team. Finally, the rumor has been confirmed and in fourteen days we will know if the Pepsi Phone P1 goes into production. Participants can donate a minimum of one yuan, but if the donation is very low not be made with Pepsi Phone, but entered to win more than 500 users. Those who donate 499 yuan itself may be made to the terminal without having to do anything else.

 Pepsi has made a series of renderings so we can have a look at its design. The first thing that caught our attention is the use of metal in the back cover, but has not confirmed and could be plastic with the metallic finish. Also, at the rear also it carries a fingerprint sensor, the function fashion smartphones, both high-end and, in this case, midrange. The company has also revealed details about the technical profile of Pepsi Phone P1, which is not exactly surprising, but does not disappoint.

 The terminal would have a 5.5-inch screen and HD resolution, a fairly common configuration providing a density of 441 dots per inch. Inside we find a Mediatek MT6792 processor running at 1.7 GHz and are supported by 2GB of RAM. Speaking of memory, internal capacity Pepsi Phone P1 would be 16 GB and assume that can be extended with MicroSD cards. As for the cameras, Pepsi would have opted for the usual pair of sensors of this type terminal: 13 megapixels in the back and 5-megapixel front to selfies with acceptable quality. Finally, the battery 3000 milliamps and Android 5.1 Lollipop close its profile specifications. We look forward to tracing the Pepsi Phone P1.

You must have seen the image above and found that this was indeed the Galaxy Note 5, right? Not today we see Chinese firms launch clones smartphones of Samsung, such as Goophone ever copied the line Note the company. But this time the UMi has who had the nerve to shamelessly copy the current design phablet top line of South Korea. And to top it off, the product is priced well below the original, being promised for only $ 90.

What can we expect from a phone that costs less than $ 100? Generally low-resolution screen, basic chipset, 1GB of RAM and internal storage bit, right? This is where the novelty, called Rome surprises. UMi Rome – a copy of the Galaxy Note 5 has AMOLED screen of 5.5 inches and resolution HD (720 x 1280 pixels), resulting in 267 pixels per inch density. The chipset that controls the smartphone is the MediaTek MT6753, which offers a 64-bit octa-core processor coupled with Mali T720 GPU.

In terms of memory, we have 3 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage but have not been informed whether the device has a slot for memory cards (something that is lacking in the original Galaxy Note 5). On the cameras have a Sony IMX164 main sensor with a maximum resolution of 13 megapixels and another front with 2 megapixels. Finally, the novelty derives from battery 2500 mAh and Android 5.1 lollipop. It was not reported if it is upgraded to Marshmallow soon.

It really is amazing to see these specifications in a smartphone with such a price. But we have to take into account a detail: this is not the first time the UMi promises a super smartphone with basic mobile price and end up not fulfilling informed. The company recently said it would launch the Zero 2 with killer price and ended up leaving aside the release. Thus, the same may happen with Rome, which seems too good to be true.

A smartphone with two 21 megapixel cameras, one in front, has just been unveiled. His name Meitu V4 and it will soon be available in China.

 The selfie mode has led manufacturers to offer smartphones cameras increasingly sophisticated front. They often now incorporate a flash while LG has even added a secondary sensor on its V10 but, above all, the resolution continues to increase. 2 megapixels, it increased to 5, then 8 and finally 13 megapixels on the best “Selphie-phone” Today, or rather yesterday now since a new level has been reached.

 Once is not custom, it is a Chinese manufacturer that we have this new record. His name Meitu and just introduced the V4, a smartphone with a 21-megapixel camera in the front. Yes, I do. You read 21 megapixels. It is also not the first time we hear about it as he had been spotted in TENAA early as September, but we still have much trouble believing it, or rather find the interest of such a sensor to take pictures.

 Especially since it is certainly important to increase the resolution on a webcam. We note in particular the lack of flash. Fortunately, Meitu does not stop there as he pasted the same sensor on the back with dual LED flash this time. Two 21-megapixel sensors, this is what can be called heavy for the photo on smartphones. And Meitu V4 nothing wrong in other areas either.

 It is also equipped with an AMOLED Full HD 5-inch screen, an octa-core Helio X10 chipset, 2 GHz and coupled with 3GB of RAM, 64GB of internal memory and a battery of 2650 mAh. The whole, led by a home OS (MeiOS) based on Android 5.1 Lollipop and stored in an elegant frame with metal frame and leatherette back. Three colors are available: white, green and white.

 The Meitu V4 will soon be available in China for the equivalent of 515 euros (3499 yuan) and, will probably never officially released in Europe, the import may be possible. For fans of selfies so.

Expected by the end of the month, the Huawei Mate 8 could be declined in three versions with two different definitions of screens. Two different sources came to light in the day to reveal a remarkable set of images, including details that would be of Mate 8, the future tip of phablet made by the Chinese company. It can confirm some aspects of obscure model in set of photographs provided by the duo of informants, who always unofficial disclose details about products that have not been formally introduced, @evleaks and infiltrated on Weibo, one of the largest social networks on Asian soil.

 Note that the Asian company chose to, again, use the large-scale metal on the outside building your device, keeping the premium experience lived by consumers Ascend Mate 7, for example. In addition, still watching the rendering or ‘real’ photographs of the likely Huawei Mate 8, it is clear that the design has become bolder, being made with notches on the edge of the structure, in addition to slightly convex angle on the rear housing panel prioritizing the ergonomics when holding a unit of phablet at hand. The photo main sensor is protected by a silver ring (Lumia 950, are you?) And the fingerprint reader sits just below this camera, accompanied by LED for flash.

 Still watching the images, identifies a row of lower holes that allow sound output, filling both sides of the area in question probably counting on two separate speakers for the faithful reproduction of music and other media. Although there is some uniformity in surface constructed entirely of metal, there are three distinct modules used metal at the back of Huawei Mate 8 body, and two minors are embedded in the outer edges of the panel, both at the top as at the bottom, possibly a device in position to allow signals to be captured by the modem located internally in the elite phablet but depends on a bold look.

 Already in technical terms, analyzing what has already been seen on the Huawei Mate 8, it is believed that its specifications list includes a 6-inch screen, using the Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) for displaying content, 4 GB RAM, Hisilicon Kirin 950 chipset, developed by own Asian company, bringing eight-core processor ARM Cortex A72, running at 2.2 GHz each, ARM Mali T880 as graphics card, 64 GB of memory for internal storage, can, or not be expanded via microSD card, 16-megapixel main camera and front 8-megapixel, both being able to record video in Full HD, and the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system, modified by Huawei’s own interface.

 Huawei confirmed the formal announcement of Mate 8 for an event marked on November 26, sending invitations to local journalists and teasers to the public in order to raise expectations for the launch. We will monitor the special ceremony via a video stream that the Chinese company will provide, and all the news from the stage will be present at a glance on our feed, be sure to be here.

The TENAA has published official documents about an upcoming Xiaomi smartphone. In view of the images presented, there is no doubt that this is the Redmi Note 2 Pro, already seen through more informal shots. This confirms the same time some features, starting with the aluminum shell and the fingerprint reader located on the back of the phone under the optical image.

Apart from these physical information, it is also confirmed that the Redmi Note 2 Pro features a Full HD screen 5.5-inch, 2GB of RAM, a processor running at 2 GHz, which has every reason to be the Helio X10 from MediaTek, 16GB of internal storage, two cameras 13 and 5 megapixels, and a 3060 mAh battery. Regarding the software part, the model we tested turned on Android 5.0.2 (Lollipop). Finally, everything is contained in a shell of 149.98 x 75.96 x 8.75 mm and weighs 165.97 grams.

Although it is not specified, it is not impossible to see happen also a variant of the phone with 3GB RAM and 32 GB of storage on board. This remains an assumption at present, based on the habits of Xiaomi.

The evolution compared to Redmi Note 2 is limited, it is not surprising to learn that the Redmi Note 2 Pro could be proposed from 1099 yuan in China, the equivalent of 160 euros. To make this a certainty, he will nevertheless wait for the official announcement of Xiaomi, which should not be long now…

Several weeks ago we told that ZTE was working on the ZTE Blade S7, a smartphone mid-high range camera a couple of cameras of 13 megapixels each. Finally, all specifications have been met and the ZTE Blade S7 is now official. The successor to the ZTE Blade S6 has been launched in China and its initial deployment will occur in Asia, but is expected to soon make the leap to Europe. The Chinese company is committed to a stylish design, made of metal and glass as is common in many high-end fills the window these days. It also has a wide screen, a 64-bit processor and integrated fingerprint sensor in the start button. We tell you all the details about the new ZTE Blade S7.

 The photographic profile is certainly one of the strengths of this smartphone. ZTE has opted for a pair of identical cameras for both the front and to the rear. It is not the first time we see a team of these features; HTC has been taken with the HTC Desire Eye, but, in this case, has gone beyond ZTE. As mentioned, the two sensors have 13-megapixel resolutions, making the resulting images have a very large size that allows viewing on large screens or printed on a fairly generous format. But this is not news, the only detail that makes the ZTE Blade S7 is the autofocus. More and more mobile systems approach that integrates detection, more accurate and faster than most mobile and compact cameras common in phase. ZTE has decided not just to integrate the approach phase detection in the rear chamber, the front also takes you. Normally the cameras to selfies lack autofocus, betting on a fixed approach that does not allow us to come too, but, in this case, we find the same features in its two cameras, a distinct advantage for lover’s selfies.

 The ZTE Blade S7 has a 5-inch IPS that develops 1,920 x 1,080-pixel resolutions. The panel is covered by a sheet of glass resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 3 curved at the edges tightly coupled to the chassis; it is what is known as 2.5D glass. The back is also covered by a sheet of this material while its structure is made of aluminum. In the front, we see a rectangular home button in which ZTE has integrated a fingerprint detector, which uses a new feature to block access to any application individually. Inside it features a Snapdragon 615 processor (eight cores), 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage capacity. Comes standard with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop but not the update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow discarded soon.
