Hey All
I think its high time we pay some serious heed to the Asian Sleeping Dragon(s) who have just recently awaken over the past few years.
Below are the current Flagship models of some companies which I have chosen. I am not able to post the full specs links here, but you can google it easily.
This are mainly current top models who are in the market or are very close to being launched. There are a few being launch soon but not included as too little is known about them.

Range of internal memory probably starting from 16GB

Mali-450MP4
2GB Ram
16GB

Based on the pass few weeks in China, I had personal hands on for the ZTE Z7, Huawei Ascend P7 and Oppo Find 7. All the 7s
The one that actually felt best on my hands (I am 6 feet) was the ZTE 7 and its lesser brother the Z7 max.
I did not have the opportunity to try the Xiaomi Mi4 as it was no where to be seen even after it launched (sold out the minute it released I suppose).
I can only hope that the design was not as bad as the Mi3. For me it looked like the giant version of one of the Ipod nanos a while back
Neither did I have the chance to check out the Meizu MX4 as it was not out yet.
The Xiaomi Mi4 currently ranks as the most value to cost effective phones we have yet seen, given its impressive specs and better looking design on photos (at least way better than the Mi3)
For me I would take the ZTE and Xiaomi anytime based on their similar designs, however I have yet to see the official pictures for the Meizu MX4 (not to be confused with the 4-core model)
In the meantime I am happy with my ZTE Z7 max which cost me CNY1999, lesser screen quality (not 2k resolution, but still 1080p 5.5") and ram (2GB vs Z7 3GB) than the Z7 but everything else is the same.
So choose your poison.
I would take the Xiaomi Mi4 because of MIUI v6 and defenitly more development than the other chinese mentioned phones.
November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !

Hi! Meizu MX3 is an upcoming Octa-core Android smartphone with cool specs. It's been said that it has an 8-core Samsung Exynos 5410 CPU, 2GB RAM, up to 64GB ROM, dual cameras with 13MP rear and 5.1-inch display with WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) screen resolution. It is currently under development and may come out later this year. In the meantime, you can view the known specs here: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/meizu-mx3
What do you think about this Octa-core baby? Could this be comparable to the only other octa-core phone I know, Samsung Galaxy S4?
Wow ! Seems a decent mobile.
I saw at Tech Junction that the Meizu MX3 might be launched in India too;

I put the Meizu MX3 and Meizu MX2 compared to each other, found no substantial change.

Xiaomi had added the 5.7-inch Mi Note Pro with a Snapdragon processor to its portfolio of affordable devices early this year. The phablet is an enhanced variant of the Mi Note which was revealed along with it back in January. The former handset has finally been given a release date of May 12 and a cost of RMB2999 (close to Rs 31000).
The power-packed Xiaomi Mi Note Pro has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip and 4GB of RAM. It offers 64GB of internal memory and a 5.7-inch touchscreen of 2560 x 1440p QHD resolution. Also, the Android Lollipop OS running this smartphone has been treated with Xiaomi’s homegrown MIUI 6 software. There are two SIM card slots inside, both supporting 4G networks.

Moving on to the cameras, the Mi Note Pro has a 13MP main one integrating a Sony IMX214 image sensor and paired with dual tone LED flash. Perched above the display on the front is a 4MP snapper. All in all, the forthcoming Xiaomi device has the makings of a flagship with the advantage of the comparatively low price on its side.
The Mi Note on the other hand, makes do with 3GB RAM, a 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 801 processor. As for the choice of SoC in the Pro version, GSMArena notes that the company has handled its overheating issue by a smartly engineered thermal distribution design, unlike Samsung which chose to solve it by using Exynos instead.

It’s a pity Xiaomi has only announced the launch date of the Mi Note Pro for China. But considering what an important market India is for the company, the phone is likely to make its debut on these shores soon enough.

I want a device from them and my needs consist of reading, playing games(playing MCOC, Assasin's Creed: Identity and similar others). Here in India both are prized the same as of now so please help me choose
U can go for mi max.
Firstly, appolgize if wrong thread & I know there's probably many posts asking the same thing...
I'm planning to get a new Mobile - after having a Galaxy S4 (stuck on Android 4 since KNOX trip) since they first came out.
I'm a VERY light user, only using it for occasional text/calls, the occasional game & a little bit of Web Browsing (if I find any free Wifi hotspots)
.. Been looking at 'mid-range' SIM-free phones at about £200-£300 (could go as high as £350-ish IF the phone offers better 'futureproofing) with the following basic specs
5" (or larger) screen
32Mb (or more) / 3Gb (or more) RAM
3000mA battery (or more)
SD Card slot
Android 6/7 (6 as long as there's planned update to 7)
As little bloatware as possible - not too fussed if not quite 'vanilla' android but close to it would be nice
Now at first I narrowed it down to possibly a Moto G4 Plus but I find that the UK version does NOT have a compass, which I believe (wrongly perhaps) is usually essential if you plan to use any sat-nav software (which I occcasionally have to use).
Then I considered waiting for the Nokia 6.. possibly even the Arte Black version (when it FINALLY arrives in the UK) - since it's virtually 'Vanilla' Android & would probably won't have too much Bloatware - but I then read reviews that it can be a 'little laggy' opening apps
Then the Huawei Honor 8 was thought about but then read that some reviewers don't like the Emotion UI very much (not knowing the actual reason why they don't like it I won't know if I'd like it)
& finally the Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) or Galaxy J7 Pro (if I can find a shop that sells it) is added to my short list but considering how much bloatware was installed on my aging S4 I'm concerned the A5/J7 will also have umpteen apps I will never use installed
Now I know the Moto G4 / Nokia 6 have larger screens than the Honor 8/A5 & the specs are not quite the same between phones (I've been using another website to compare specs.. not sure if allowed to post link/name but hopefully it'll be allowed - GSMARENA) but since I've been out of the Android game for a while - I'm confused over many of the specs
Examples:
Chipset: Which is considered 'better' - a Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617, Qualcomm MSM8937 Snapdragon 430, HiSilicon Kirin 950 or Exynos 7880 Octa
CPU: Octa-core (4x1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.2 GHz Cortex-A53), Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53, Octa-core 1.9 GHz Cortex-A53, or Octa-core (4x2.3 GHz Cortex-A72 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex A53)
GPU: Adreno 405 , Adreno 505, Mali-T880 MP4, Mali-T830MP3
Screen: is 'IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen' better or worse than 'Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen'
what is a 'Li-Po 3000 mAh battery' - is it any better/worse than a 'Li-ion'
So , can anyone explain which is considered 'better' than the other specs..
Which phone would you consider from my short list... any suggestions of other phones I may've overlooked that have similar basic specs ??
Edit: So many views - no answers
Anyway, Still looking at phones
- what do you think about the Huawei P10 Lite??
Thanxs in advance
