Today, frameless smartphones can be divided into two camps: Galaxy S8 and its analogues or Xiaomi Mi Mix and its clones. For example, after the release of Xiaomi Mi Mix, some brands from China were so enthusiastic about the new device that they immediately made their phones without frames. These are Doogee Mix, Bluboo S1 and Elephone S8.

Just a few days ago, another pair of similar smartphones joins the army – Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro. Umidigi did not think much of the design and just copied it from Xiaomi Mi Mix. As a result, we received two copies of Xiaomi Mi Mix with different specifications.

We have to disappoint you, but Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro are representatives of a budget class, so you should not dream about any Snapdragons chipsets. We can say that Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro are perfect for those who wants Xiaomi Mi Mix, but haven’t enough money. The main advantages of Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro are cheap price.

Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro Specifications

As already noted, both smartphones are equipped with budget hardware, although Crystal Pro version can please with good processor Mediatek MT6750 and an impressive amount of RAM and internal memory – 4 GB and 64 GB, respectively. And if Xiaomi Mi Mix is ​​difficult to call a gaming smartphone due to the lack of a top frame, then it’s even more difficult to play Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro because of weak processors that will not allow you to enjoy a heavy games. The complete specifications list of new smartphones is given below.

If you compare Umidigi Crystal and its Pro-version, it becomes clear that it is more profitable to buy the latter. There is no a big difference between devices in price – only $50, while the user gets much more memory and a significantly more powerful processor. Also Umidigi Crystal Pro has an additional sensor camera, so the phone’s owners will be able to shoot good portraits with the effect of bokeh.

Frameless Design

We would like to talk about how Umidigi solved the problem with frameless design, since it is a serious problem for smartphones with missing upper frame. So, Xiaomi Mi Mix does not have spoken speaker, instead uses a piezo speaker built into the smartphone screen. If you remember smartphone Sharp Aquos Crystal, then the device uses bone conduction technology, thanks to which the sound is transmitted over the bone directly to the middle ear.

And what about Umidigi Crystal? The engineers of the company mounted a usual membrane speaker for talking to the upper edge of Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro. It is very cheap and angry decision. We hope that in practice there will be no problems with the conversation on smartphones.

Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro comparison with Doogee Mix

Compare Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro with the same Xiaomi Mi Mix does not make sense, because they have only similar design of the front panel, and everything else is very different. That’s why we decided to briefly compare Umidigi Crystal and Crystal Pro with inexpensive Doogee Mix. The smartphones use similar specifications, and design is almost the same. We compare only Umidigi Crystal Pro model, since it offers the most approximate hardware for Doogee Mix.

Doogee Mix works on good and relatively high-performance processor Mediatek Helio X25, which also supports faster RAM memory LPDDR4X, operating in two-channel mode. Also, the smartphone is available in model with 6 GB of RAM, which is undoubtedly a big plus. While it is unknown which glass will be used in Umidigi Crystal Pro, the smartphone Doogee Mix uses super modern tempered glass Gorilla Glass 5th generation.

By the way, about the body, Umidigi Crystal Pro is still a metal device, but Doogee Mix repeats Xiaomi Mi Mix, having a sandwich of tempered glass and metal as a binder frame. You should decide for yourself, which is more practical, but about 90% of people use protective cases and protective glasses/films, so it doesn’t make big sense. On the other hand, the metal is still more reliable, since the glass in Doogee Mix will crack at any convenient opportunity when falling on a hard surface

So what to choose? If we consider only two smartphones, then Doogee Mix is ​​more balanced in price/quality. But you still need to decide – do you really want frameless smartphone?

Umidigi Crystal Pro release date, price, buy

Umidigi Crystal will be available in early June at a price of $150. As for the smartphone Umidigi Crystal Pro, it should be expected a little later, by the end of June, with price tag about $200. If you really want to buy frameless smartphone, we advise you to wait for video reviews of new products from real users, and then make a final decision – buy or not.

ASUS ZenFone 3 – Better than ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe

The Taiwanese manufacturer released Asus ZenFone 3 ZE552KL, and some time later we received ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe ZS550KL. Both smartphones have the same display, camera, battery, processor, memory. We should note that Deluxe model offers metal case and NFC, but nothing more new!

Moreover, Deluxe version is more expensive for $150. This is a lot of money for almost identical smartphone. Metal case does not cost $150, because many budget smartphone comes with metal cases. The most fashionable smartphones of 2017 (Xiaomi Mi Mix, LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S8) are made of glass.

Also Asus ZenFone 3 has AMOLED-display. It is rather plus than minus, but qualitatively calibrated matrix on organic light-emitting diodes is only in smartphones Samsung, Nexus/Pixel and Motorola. OLED-displays offer matrix with a low level of brightness and color curve. ZenFone 3 Deluxe, unfortunately, is no exception: it has a display at the level of Galaxy Note 3 (2013), in some aspects, even worse.

So, we have no doubt that Asus ZenFone 3 is better than Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe. In addition, it is much cheaper.

Moto Z Play – Better than Moto Z

Motorola has an interesting smartphone called Moto Z Play with a price $382, and Moto Z for $590. You know, the flagship smartphone does not offer advantages for $200.

Let’s start with the fact that design of both smartphones are almost identical, but Moto Z Play is more practical: it is angular, so that it’s convenient to connect modules, but it’s more plump than the very razor-skinny Moto Z, and it’s more pleasant to hold it in your hand.

Moto Z Play has an .5 mm jack audio connector. It is still important, because Moto Z allows you to use only Bluetooth headphones.

It can not be said that Moto Z does not have significant advantages over the younger model: a better camera, Snapdragon 820 against Snapdragon 625, 4 GB of RAM versus 3 GB. But here Motorola “framed itself”, because the system is optimized perfectly, and to notice the difference in performance between Moto Z Play and Moto Z is very difficult. So, we think that Moto Z Play is better than Moto Z.

HTC 10 Lifestyle – Better Than HTC U Ultra

Everyone hates mini-flagships at the price of flagships. The price of HTC 10 Lifestyle is $460, and it is is very much. But now we ask the question “Why such money ?!” to HTC U Ultra.

Both smartphones have stereo speakers, but HTC U Ultra has a strange second display (not very popular, judging by sales of LG V10 and V20). HTC 10 Lifestyle has much more useful optical stabilization at front camera. It is, frankly, more necessary than megapixels, and was very useful in the evening shoot.

As for the rear cameras, we cannot see significant differences. The focus system has changed a little, and problems in shooting at night have remained the same. You can notice new processor. Yes, but not so new, as long as you can buy HTC 10 with Snapdragon 820 for $500. The battery life also does not show great results. So, we have another question – “Do we need such update, or it is better to buy old smartphone?”

Lenovo Phab 2 Plus – Better than Lenovo Phab 2 Pro

The second duo from Lenovo in one article, but there’s nothing to be done. The company releases very strange smartphones.

Lenovo Phab 2 Pro was a strange device. It looks like a tablet with Tango system. Don’t you know about Tango project? Tango is a system that allows a smartphone to navigate in space and “see” 3D objects. It means that smartphone has infrared sensor and a fish eye lens at the rear panel. They are not for photographic tasks, but only for orientation in rooms and in games.

At the moment it is very raw technology, so you should not buy Lenovo Phab 2 Pro only for Tango system.

Both Phab 2 smartphone are far from being flagship in performance, but Phab Plus is cheaper, smaller and no worse than a “tablet”. Why pay more?

Honor 5X – Better than Honor 7

And finally we get some retro lessons. Honor 7 appeared on sale in November 2015, Honor 5X – in January 2016. The difference is not great. At the same time Honor 7 was considered the “best Honor” and generally a substitute for the flagship Huawei Mate S at half price.

Both smartphones have the almost same rear camera. The difference is in resolution of front cameras, but not the quality of the photos. Also Honor 7 has the thicker case (with almost identical battery).

And even the sound quality was slightly higher in Honor 5X. Of course, there were differences too – Honor 7 has better display, and even the processor is a little quicker.

The old smartphone Honor 7 runs on Android 6.0, and new one Honor 5X has become another Huawei Nexus with Cyanogenmod on Android 7.1.1. It is very rare pleasure in Huawei smartphones, by the way.

Conclusions

We can conclude that flagship smartphones do not always mean better. Carefully study the specifications and details before buying smartphones, perhaps «bad» marketers want to fool you.

The post TOP 5 Mid-Range smartphones that are Better than Flagships appeared first on Raqwe.

Lenovo K900

I remember when Lenovo K900 was represented in Barcelona. I immediately noticed excellent angular design, slim aluminum body and powerful for its time specifications. I was so impressed with Lenovo K900 smartphone, and especially its design, that I was ready to buy it as a primary mobile device.

Lenovo Yoga Tablet

The line of tablets Lenovo Yoga can not be accused of the lack of originality. The cylindrical stand with multiple levels of inclination, capacious battery and stereo speakers on the front – all of this together with an aluminum body stand out Lenovo Yoga from competitors.

Lenovo Vibe X2

This smartphone used an interesting four-layer design and some great bright colors. The smartphone Lenovo Vibe X2 is focused on young people and particularly eccentric people. Why not? It looks very attractive.

Lenovo Vibe Shot

Another smartphone that is made with emphasis on photos. As you can see, smartphone design combines details from traditional cameras. No doubt, Lenovo Vibe Shot strongly stand out against the background of other smartphones. Your friends will be jealous of this smartphone and its design.

Lenovo Yoga Laptop

We have already mentioned the line of tablets Lenovo Yoga, but now we want to draw your attention to the laptops. Lenovo Yoga laptops have swivel screens and a cool orange body.  It looks very impressive.

Lenovo Moto Z

Of course, we can not keep silent about the new smartphone Moto Z. As you know, a line of smartphones Moto Z work with a variety of modules. Moto Z deserves special attention.

Conclusion

We do not understand people who say that Lenovo does not produce devices with cool design. This is not true, and I hope that I was able to prove it.

In this article we would like to talk about Galaxy S8 Edge. Today, there are a lot of insider reports from a variety of sources, but we cannot be 100% sure of this information. We only analyze the most interesting rumors and reports about upcoming flagship Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Edge Specifications

We can assume the specifications Galaxy S8 Edge based on what is already available on the market or will be available in the coming months.

• Screen:5-inch display with resolution of 4K (4096×2160), Super AMOLED matrix, protective glass Gorilla Glass 5;
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (eight-4 nucleus Kryo 200 with a frequency of up to 3.6GHz + 4 cores Kryo 200 with frequency of 2.8 GHz), 10-nm process technology, 64-bit;
• Graphics: Adreno 620 with a frequency of 650 MHz;
• RAM: 6 GB LPDDR4X;
• User Memory: 64 or 128 GB + microSD slot for memory cards;
• Camera: dual module 12 MP each, aperture f / 1.7, OS images, autofocus PDAF;
• Front camera: 8 megapixels, aperture f / 1.7, wide angle;
• Additionally: work in LTE Cat.16 / LTE Cat.13 networks (loading up to 1000Mbps / s, return up to 150Mbps / sec), Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n / ac / ad;
• Battery: 4000 mAh + fast charging Qualcomm QuickCharge 4.0 (50% in 15 minutes);
• OS version: Android 7.0;
• Test Antutu: allegedly 200,000 points;
• Price: $ 900 or 820 euros.

Given the fast development of VR industry, it is not surprising that Galaxy S8 Edge will get a display with a resolution of 4096×2160. From the point of view of the majority users, such display only means higher battery consumption, because the eye cannot see the difference between 2K and 4K. However, as we have already noted, for VR-devices undoubtedly better display with a very high density of pixels, as this will provide an excellent and necessary as the smoothed image, which requires a virtual reality.

Galaxy S8 Edge Performance

Snapdragon 835 processor can provide excellent performance in both games, as well as in any other CPU intensive tasks. This processor is made on 10-nm technology. Qualcomm perfectly tried to optimize all components of its processor, which will allow the chip to be the most popular and the most powerful on the market of mobile devices in the flagship segment.

Galaxy S8 Edge in comparison with Galaxy S7 Edge

The first thing that catches your eye – increased screen resolution (from 2K to 4K), and a processor. If Galaxy S7 Edge used Exynos 8890 or Snapdragon 820, next generation smartphone will be equipped with Snapdragon 835. In addition, future flagship will significantly exceed the current Galaxy is due to the new chipset in VR-technologies.

Galaxy S8 Edge camera

In addition to the increased screen resolution that is almost 2 times and powerful processor, we could expect double camera on the back of Galaxy S8 Edge. Yes, after the release of iPhone 7 Plus it became clear that Samsung will release its smartphone with dual camera.

At the moment it is unknown the resolution of camera Galaxy S8 Edge, but probably it will be 12-mepagixels.

Recall that Galaxy S7 Edge is one of the best camera phones, and it has 12-MP module with an aperture of f/1.7.

Galaxy S8 Edge design

We don’t have any specific information about design Galaxy S8 Edge, but rumors say that smartphone will have all-metal body and removable back panel.

If you will have any problem with the battery of smartphone, you can remove the back panel and quickly replace damaged batteries. Removable battery will save device from burning.

Also we expect Galaxy S8 Edge in ceramic body, because this material has very good resistance to scratching. By the way, iPhone 8 will also receive a ceramic body.

Galaxy S8 Edge release date, price

Release date Galaxy S8 Edge is not a big secret, since the company’s presentation of new flagship runs stably during the exhibition MWC 2017. As already known, this exhibition of mobile technologies will take place from 27 February to 2 March 2017 and during this period of time we will see Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Edge.

If we talk about the price Galaxy S8 Edge, we think that it will be about $ 900 or 820 euros for a younger version.

Mobile Processors: What You Should Know

The processor is one of the main part of smartphone. But what is it that makes one processor faster than another? The clock speed (GHz) or the number of cores is not everything. There are many other things you can read in specifications table of smartphones.

SoC (System-on-Chip) consists of several components. It includes the central processor (CPU), graphics processor (GPU), LTE modem, multimedia processor and processor for safety signals. Such a variety of features make it very difficult to talk about “the fastest mobile processor”.

Comparison of the fastest mobile processors

We will see measurements of GPU and CPU and will tell you what Android devices have faster processors.

ARM architecture CPU: The common denominator in mobile processors?

The trick is not in the sequence of chips, but mainly in its composition. Samsung Galaxy S4 successfully applied design ARM big.LITTLE. This was the union of two groups of different processors within a single processor. The first group of cores (Big-Cluster) has four high-performance cores, meanwhile, the second group called LITTLE-Cluster has four parallel cores less power.

LITTLE- Cluster is responsible for tasks in the background, while the big-cluster is activated only with minor tasks because of their high energy consumption.

The speed of the four cores makes the user feel that your smartphone is ready whenever you need. Big.LITTLE type processors become the standard for many smartphones, even mid-range devices.

Our measurements have shown that Exynos 8890 is fastest mobile processor. Despite not provide maximum CPU performance, it is perfect for playing games that demand high quality graphics, which places it on par with Nvidia Tegra X1.

GPU: Are there big differences for games?

With Nvidia Tegra X1, the manufacturer NVidia provides the graphics processor (GPU) to market fastest smartphones. The list of compatible games is growing daily. Nvidia has a wide range of games in Play Store with its GPU support.

Android devices with Nvidia GPU:

• Nvidia Shield Tablet
• HTC / Google Nexus 9
• Nvidia Shield (Android TV)
• Google Pixel C

You can see the difference between a slow or fast GPU when playing a very recent game in a pretty old smartphone.

According to benchmark 3DMark, Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in its American version with Snapdragon have the fastest GPU among Android devices. OnePlus 3 is a good alternative for those looking for a similar performance for gaming. My final recommendation is Google Pixel C, for those who do not want to stay without good graphic quality.

Snapdragon 820 and 821

Snapdragon 820 quad core is faster than Snapdragon 810 with eight cores. Its secret lies in its recently updated Hexagon processor and optimization of machine learning algorithms. This brings improvements in performance of camera and increases the amount of photos.

Google Pixel is one of the first devices that use its new features. The chip does not bring many surprises as comparative analyzes, even though its performance in video games is quite good with quality ranging common features such as pictures.

Samsungs Exynos 8

Samsung has added its second victory with Exynos 8890, being the fastest mobile processor to date. However, processor is not the only reason the Galaxy phones are so fast. UFS type flash memory, which patent is unique to Samsung, makes the charging time is shorter. Moreover, this technology is already used outside the Galaxy series, mainly in OnePlus 3 and Google Pixel.

MediaTek Helio X30

MediaTek has become a serious competitor to Qualcomm and Samsung. Helio X30 has not yet officially hit the market, so we do not know its specifications, but expect good results.

Conclusion

Galaxy S7 smartphones with Snapdragon 820 or Exynos 8890 are equally fast. Huawei Honor devices and their HISILICON processors are also great for everyday tasks, but less suitable for gaming due to the high consumption of resources.

However, in addition to the processor, Flash (internal) memory plays a decisive role in the speed of performance smartphone. So, smartphones like Google Pixel, OnePlus 3, Samsung Galaxy S6 and later, as well as Huawei and Honor, offer the best possible performance.

Today we decided to compare the world’s most popular Chinese smartphones. We want to warn you that we will not determine a winner, as each of smartphone has its own features.

Huawei P9 Plus

• Dimensions: 152.3 x 75.3 x 7 mm
• Weight: 162 grams
• 5-inch screen Full HD SuperAMOLED

• Dual rear camera 12-megapixel camera f/2.2, 8-MP front camera
• 3400 mAh battery with fast charge
• Other features: Press Touch Technology, front stereo speakers, expandable memory via microSD, NFC, fingerprint reader.

Huawei flagship smartphone is one of the best Android device on market. We paid attention to the older model, since it has some additional features, such as dual camera by Leica, Press Touch screen and stereo speakers.

However, smartphone has some negative aspects. For example, user interface. Although some users may like Huawei user interface, we think that it is not the best among Android smartphones.

ZUK Z2

• Dimensions: 70.5 x 145.4 x 7.5mm
• Weight: 145 grams
• Super AMOLED screen of 5.2 inches with resolution 1080×1920 pixels

• 13 megapixel main camera with f/1.8, autofocus, dual-LED flash. 8-megapixel front camera with f/2.0
• 3500 mAh battery
• Other features: 4G, fingerprint reader, USB type C

This smartphone is less well-known in the international market, it is possible that you have not even heard of it. But given top specifications, price, which is the cheapest among all smartphones from our today’s comparison, ZUK Z2 is the brilliant smartphone.

Since the smartphone is primarily intended for the Asian market, Lenovo refused CyanogenOS user interface, instead of which is used ZUI.

Nevertheless, the price ZUK Z2 is the main argument in favor of this smartphone.

OnePlus 3

• Dimensions: 15.2 cm x 7.4 cm x 7.35 mm
• Weight: 158 grams
• 5-inch screen FullHD OpticAMOLED
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 820

• 64GB storage
• 16-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera
• 3000 mAh battery with fast charging DASH! Charge
• Other features: NFC, dual SIM, fingerprint reader, USB Type C

The newest smartphone from Chinese company OnePlus is one of mobile devices that we liked most so far this year. It has beautiful design and interesting features, as well as a competitive price.

Among the main disadvantages of smartphone are the lack of slot for microSD cards, FM radio and some other small details that most people cannot see.

While the best of smartphone OnePlus 3 are 6GB of RAM and OxygenOS user interface that is really similar to Android stock.

Xiaomi Mi5

• Dimensions: 144.6 x 69.2 x 7.3 mm
• Weight: 129 grams
• 15 inches FullHD IPS screen
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 820
• 3GB or 4GB RAM
• Android 6.0 Marshmallow with MIUI 7.0
• 32GB, 64GB or 128 GB Storage
• 16 megapixel main camera with f/2.0, 8MP front camera
• 3000 mAh battery with fast charging
• Other features: NFC, USB type C, fingerprint reader, QuickCharge 3.0

Xiaomi MI5 has become one the most powerful and best designed smartphone. This smartphone, which was the first to be presented between all devices from this comparison, is certainly a great choice for those wanting a compact, lightweight, and powerful phone.

Like all smartphones, it has some drawbacks, for example, the old version of software MIUI 7, but with the price of 350$ Xiaomi Mi5 can be a great option compared to other smartphones.

Conclusions

As we said, it’s really hard to determine the best one from these smartphones, because they all have different specifications and features that allow users to choose one or the other depending on their tastes. But one thing is for sure, today you should not be afraid to buy Chinese smartphones.

For example, Leagoo released a smartphone called Leagoo M5 that can chop nuts. Yes, it’s not a joke. However, this is not the main use of the smartphone. First of all, this feature is necessary to protect smartphone after falling on the ground.

Let’s do a review Leagoo M5 smartphone and see its other features.

Specifications Leagoo M5

Manufacturer said that smartphone belongs to entry-level class and and it is not designed for high performance.

Leagoo M5 has a processor with four cores and a clock speed of 1.3 gigahertz. Yes, this will be sufficient to perform casual tasks but it is not enough for the heavy power games. Also smartphone is supported with 2GB of RAM. User will have a 16GB of built-in storage. Of course, if it is not enough for your files, you can buy a memory card.

Design Leagoo M5

The Chinese manufacturer showed two versions of smartphone – with golden and gray body.

Result Leagoo M5

The price Leagoo M5 is only $70. I think that the cost of smartphone allows to forget about a little-known logo on the rear panel. Although smartphone does not have the most powerful hardware, but for the casual user it will be enough. If you want something more, then you have to pay more money. Leagoo M5 has quality display, good camera and modern operating system.

At the moment the manufacturer’s official website has posted quite a bit of information about smartphone Cubot Max. However, we have an idea of what to expect from smartphone at the beginning of August

Display Cubot Max

Cubot Max will belong to “Phablet” class, as it has a screen diagonal of 6 inches. The manufacturer says that it is the first model with such a large-size. Everyone knows that a smartphone with a large screen is useful for surfing the Internet or watching movies. However, the question remains to the ergonomics and ease of use. At the moment we do not know the matrix of display, but its resolution would be Full HD.

Specifications Cubot Max

The smartphone will be equipped with long been proven processor MTK 6753A. This processor is often used in low-cost smartphones. The letter “A” in the index is undervalued rate. If anyone has forgotten, chip has 8 cores Cortex-A53.

Also Cubot Max will have 3 GB of RAM, which is pretty good for such smartphone, and 32 GB of internal memory. I suspect the user will have the ability to expand the memory with Micro SD card.

The rear camera is equipped with 13 megapixels sensor and front camera has a resolution of 5 megapixel.

Also Cubot Max will work on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Finally, the battery capacity of new smartphone will be 4000 mAh. Given the rather modest process, we can expect that smartphone Cubot Max will have a battery life of 2 days.

Price and release date

Unfortunately, at the moment we do not know the price Cubot Max, but manufacturer has promised that it will be affordable. Release date of new smartphone is scheduled for August of this year.
