good find
Talk about another mini firesale waiting to happen.
Looks like interesting device.....Do you now any un-crackable????? All device may be crackable, but what's about time of this crack?
i wonder why there are less interested in the BB play book, as it is just as good as the HP touchpad
just because it's $199 vs $99 ?
playbook would be awesome with android
I'm guessing that by this time next year most 7" tablets will have settled somewhere between $199 and $299 in price. Kinda ridiculous to pay $500 for a tablet in this economic downturn when for the same $500 one can buy a decent laptop. A 7" 16GB wi-fi only tablet, running the latest version of android, and easy to root, for a price of $250 would sell VERY well. Not to mention that it would get lots of dev support for custom ROMs and such. One can dream...

Chinese phones & their influence

Hi everyone
I'm new to the mobile phone scene but after a bit of research on deciding which phones to invest in I've noticed something; Chinese phones (not easily available in Western countries) have better specs and prices compared with the phones we have from brands like Samsung, Apple, HTC, Sony etc.
I'm talking about Vivo phones, Xiaomi etc. These phones routinely have 16mp cameras with OIS, large 2.0 (or even bigger) sensors, full HD or QHD 5 to 6" screens, 2 to 3GB of RAM, very large front facing cameras (5 to 8mp with flash, 1080P recording), Snapdragon 805 chips and batteries 3500mh+. All this in bodies thinner than 7mm (in some cases, the low5mm range). Many have aluminium chassis too.
Im wondering why we still see phones from Samsung, HTC, Apple and even the Nexus 6 (which is supposed to be absolutely premium in specs & quality) selling for such high prices but with specs lower than the Chinese phones. Surly Samsung & these other brands can release a phone, keep their prices the same but match or exceed the specs of these Chinese phones.
Why does the Galaxy S5 have a comparably low front facing camera, smaller battery and is thicker than these Chinese phones? Or the Nexus 6 - why is the FF camera smaller, why is the rear camera smaller, why does it have a smaller battery and why is it so much thicker? Surly these phones could match the specs of the Chinese phones.
Example: The upcoming VIVO PD1305 rumoured specs (below) should best (or at least match) the Nexus 6 in every respect. Thinner, same chipset, same amount of RAM, better front and rear cameras, stereo speakers, NFC, larger battery etc. Why couldn't Google have these specs in the Nexus 6 and sell it at the current price? The VIVO is expected to be cheaper by $100+. The specs are leaked; previous VIVO leaked specs matched very closely to the final product and there is strong evidence to support that this new VIVO phone's specs will match to the leaked specs as all the technology has been around for a short while now.
Basically what I'm trying to establish is why the Western market is so full of overpriced phones which can't complete on every front with cheaper Chinese phones? Will Samsung etc actually match or best these Chinese phones in terms of specs?
Specs:
6-inch IPS display with 2560×1440 resolution and 490ppi
5.68mm (0.22") thin
162g (5.71 ounces) weight
Snapdragon 805 processor with 3GB of RAM
32GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot that goes up to 128GB
13MP rear camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and dual-LED flash, 8MP front camera with 88-degree wide view lens
Dedicated ES9018 and OPA2604 audio chips
NFC
LTE Radio support (confirmed at some sources; still in debate as it is useless in China)
Wireless charging
Basic water resistance
Heart rate monitor and a fingerprint trace the source function
3500mAh battery
NOTE: Before anyone says it - that most Chinese phones don't support LTE networks - from some reading there is talk that the latest and upcoming Chinese manufacturers are including support for LTE networks as their market expands. So, they are covering ground fast and innovating far faster than any of the phones we see in our Western markets.
In my opinion the specs for the latest Chinese phones (especially for the VIVO listed) put the Nexus 6 and its rivals to shame. A bit sad.
The problem with these chinese phones is, that you hardly have any warranty.

Who needs a warranty for a hundred dollar thing...?
Never thought about this question, but now i am really thinking that it's a great idea to buy Chinese phones!

Okay, maybe you are right, but you have hardly any support and if its an chinese phone who hardly anyone has, you can be sure you will not get any updates.

When i buy a old Motorola phone i also don't have any support or updates....
For 100 dollars or lower it pays!

Metal Meizu Blue Charm Leaked

data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
So the predicted Meizu M2 Note metal is most likely the Meizu Blue Charm, as a new set of photos have surfaced. Click on the link below to see the pics.
http://www.mobiletechasia.com/?p=1834
The photos indicate a metal unibody design with the same bright colours as it's plastic counterparts found on the Meizu Note series. However, full metal phones traditionally have problems with reception and we will have to see how Meizu deals with that.
While not obvious, the name "Blue Charm" points towards a budget device. Check out the expected specs below:
5.5-inch 1080p IPS LCD
MTK6795 Helio X10 Processor
2GB of RAM and 16GB storage
Dual SIM, microSD
13MP Camera
8.2mm thick
No word on the battery yet
The new phablet will most-likely be unveiled on October 21 which many chinese outlets have been invited to. If you are a Meizu M1/2 Note owner, how do you feel? Or if you just bought an MX5? Let us know in the comments below!

Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T : Which phone should I buy ?

Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Comparison-Gadget2buy
One of the most awaited phones of the season is already here – the OnePlus 5T. Just after five months after the launch of OnePlus 5, the 5T has been launched for the mid-segment buyers with many new features and additions. It comes with a glossy new six-inch edge-to-edge display, improved design and an enhanced camera setup. No doubt it is an excellent phone with many features but the all-new OnePlus 5T faces a lot of competition from a number of other phones in the same segment and the most importantly from HMD Global's offering for the same segment, Nokia 8.
So before you decide which will be the best phone for you, let’s take a look at the features and specification of OnePlus 5T against Nokia 8.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Design and Display-Gadget2buy
Both the phones have a very attractive design.
The OnePlus 5T has a very familiar design. Like the iPhone 7 or any other new age phones, it has a smooth flat glass and metal body that curves at the edges. It has a design that has already been very well received and reviewed by smartphone users. With a huge 5.5 inches large bezel-less display and fingerprint scanner at the back, the phone is completely in line with the times.
The Nokia 8, on the other hand, does not sport a very flashy design but keeping up with its reputation as a sturdy and good looking phone. A slim phone with full metal body and a 5.3-inch Glance Screen Quad HD display. The display is bright and colourful with a Gorilla Glass 5 to protect the screen in case of a fall.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Features-Gadget2buy
Both the smartphones are powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor. The Nokia 8 has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage on board. OnePlus 5T comes in two variants- a 6GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant and an 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage option.Both the OnePlus 5T and Nokia 8 come with Google’s latest Android 7.0 Nougat software.
In the battery front, the OnePlus 5T is powered by a huge and long-lasting 3300 mAh non-removable battery which supports Dash Charging, The Nokia 8, by comparison, features a 3,090mAh cell. But a smaller battery here does not less battery life. With a smaller bezel-less screen Nokia 8 fairs pretty well in battery life.
A few other features in Nokia 8 are Iris scanner, Fingerprint (touch), Touch sensitive control keys and Splash resistant body. The OnePlus 5T only has a fingerprint scanner but is not splash resistant.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Camera -Gadget2buy
Both these phones have excellent cameras and the camera is the highlight of these phones. HMD Global has long since marketed Nokia 8 as a device for "storytellers" – tell your story with images. The Nokia 8 comes with a dual camera setup in the rear. The rear camera is equipped with ZEISS optics – and features a 13MP primary RGB (colour) sensor paired with a 13MP monochrome (black and white) sensor. The ZEISS optics allows the phone to capture depths and assists in low-light photography. This phone also has the new “bothie” camera, which basically means that you can use both the front and back camera simultaneously for split screen images and videos and turn it into a fun image. With an inbuilt app, you can even live stream a bothie to Facebook. And for selfies, there is a 13 MP shooter in the front.
OnePlus 5 T also features a dual camera in the rear and has got a new telephoto lens in its dual shooter. The new telephoto lens carries exactly similar 16-megapixel Sony IMX398 primary lens with f/1.7 aperture. The secondary lens is a 20-megapixel Sony IMX376K sensor with a wider aperture whereas in OnePlus 5 there was a 20-megapixel Sony IMX350 sensor. For selfies, it sports a 16-megapixel Sony IMX371 sensor in the front.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Gaming Performance-Gadget2buy
Gaming and multitasking are quite easy and very enjoyable for Nokia 8. At no point does it slow down to drop and also the volume output and the performance of the phone remains top-notch even with heavy duty games like Mortal Kombat and Injustice.
The OnePlus 5T is blazing fast when playing games, multitasking, and just browsing the web. It has a great battery and is quite good for playing games with a huge display and great performance.
For gaming both the devices are excellent and cannot really be compared.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Price-Gadget2buy
The OnePlus 5T is available in two different storage variants, with the cheaper 64GB/6GB RAM variant available Rs 32,999and Rs. 37,999 for the 8GB RAM/ 128GB model. The Nokia 8, on the other hand, is only available in a single variant and is available at a price of Rs 36,999. The pricing is a very important point to consider while buying the two phones and here OnePlus has done quite an aggressive pricing.
The end verdict is that the Nokia 8 is a very sturdy and elegant phone with excellent features and a great camera. The OnePlus 5T, on the other hand, is a classy bezel-less smartphone with a few excellent specs and great price.

Smartphone components and manufacturing

MKBHD said cheap phones are getting better and good phones are getting cheaper.
I have been already wondering how chinese phones are so cheap.
Not to mention reputed company like Nokia and Motorola are entering this midrange and low-end killar spec game.
I guess they keep less profit than others.
Are phone processor sold like Intel and AMD processor?
I heard sd450 cost $10.5 but where they are sold .
Let say components of a cheap phone :
How much each of this component will cost ?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 429
16GB EMMC 5.1
2GB LPDDR3 800mhz
OV13855-GA5A-2A 1.12um camera module
OV08856 1.12um 8mp camera module
5.7 INCH IPS LCD 720P 18:9
5 Magnet Transducer type speaker
3500MAH lithium battery.
How much a metallic casing and dragon tail glass/ gorilla glass cost actually?
How PCB are made and how complex they are for a smartphone?
What about XDA making its own phone with sd855 and complete custom XDA ROM ?
These are all wondering Inside my head . Anyway I hope I gonna have some answers.
I am waiting for everyone's opinion .
Somehow MKBHD is right
