According to recent reports, we may see two Nexus devices this year , one made from Huawei and another one from LG. It looks like one of the Nexus devices just made an entry in the AnTuTu benchmarking site, blowing everyone’s mind with a score of more than 85000!

If you remember, the Samsung Exynos 7420 chipset is currently on top of AnTuTu with 65000+ points. However, with a score of over 85,000 this Nexus device beats Samsung’s chip by over 20,000 points.
This brings us to the big question, what exactly is running inside this Nexus device? Well, AntuTu 5 doesn’t reveal much about the specs inside the device, but the phone probably will come with the new Snapdragon 820 chip from Qualcomm. While the score is still too good to be true, considering Qualcomm’s desperate need for a comeback with 820, the company could have boosted its performance to a whole new level.
What we do know is that the phone will be called as the Nexus 5 (2015) model , which probably means that LG is not sticking with the incremental naming policy. Also, this may also give us a clue about the screen size, as you can expect it to be around 5-inches (5.2-inch would be just perfect). The Nexus 6 came with a monstrous 5.9-inch display, but it was too big to handle. So, this could actually be a good move. The resolution is surprisingly just FHD, which would be a downgrade from the QHD display on the Nexus 6.
Anyways, if the performance of Snapdragon 820 is really this good, we would like to know whether it overheats like the current generation 810. But we hope Qualcomm will have learnt its lesson by now.
Usually, Google announces its Nexus devices in fourth quarter of the year and we expect the company to continue the tradition this year too. By then, there could be a couple of Snapdragon 820 powered smartphones like Xiaomi Mi5 in the market. So, things could get interesting pretty soon!

You know what really sucks about being locked into a two-year service contract with your wireless carrier? It's seeing all these new fangled smartphones come out, ones with features that weren't available when you jumped in. Bought a Motorola Droid X2? That's great, now the Droid Bionic is here, and it supports 4G LTE. Rocking a dual-core 1.2GHz processor? Awesome, except that tomorrow's phones will kick things up to 2.5GHz and four cores!
That's the top clockspeed Qualcomm's latest roadmap shows, according to Pocket-Lint, which was on hand at the chip maker's Innovation Qualcomm event in Istanbul. Qualcomm's roadmap was broken down into four sections, including an S1 class for mass market smartphones, S2 class for high performance smartphones and tablets, an S3 class for multi-tasking and advanced gaming, and an S4 class for 'Holy *&#%!' performance and next generation devices.
The new S4 class chipset includes a next generation processor line built on a 28nm manufacturing process. These will include up to quad-core processing clocked at 2.5GHz along with a high performance Adreno GPU (dual- and quad-core), 1080p HD, 3G, and LTE.
So how long do you have to wait for this crazy fast mobile processors to make it to market? Not all that long, actually. Qualcomm expects to have these chips in device makers' hands by the end of the year, so you should see 2.5GHz smartphones and tablets in early 2012. Battery life? We'll have to wait and see.

Damn and I thought 1.2 was fast!
Drool! Mmmmmmm 3 of my 5 upgrades are now on an indefinite hold! Its great having the account in my name!

Your last line is key. We are making leaps and bounds in data speeds, processors, larger screens, etc. Yet, more needs to be done in terms of battery development. Battery life just can't keep up with all of this advancement in the other areas.

Next advancement in Battery Life will be Nuclear Powered Batterys .. Or whatever those things were in the Toy Soldiers
Although there hasn't been any official announcement of the HTC One Mini, we all know that it is coming, and we know a fair bit about the device. Although, there really isn't a whole lot to know. The device is going to be an HTC One... mini. Still, we've got some leaked pics of the AT&T version of the device, and surprise surprise, it looks like a smaller HTC One.
Luckily, whoever has their hands on the device knew enough to take pics of info screens, so we know that the device has a dual-core QualcommCPU with an Adreno 305 GPU (aka a Snapdragon 400), 1GB of RAM (although previous pics have said 2GB), 16GB of internal storage (with about 11GB free), Android 4.2 with Sense 5, and LTE. We've learned before that the HTC One Mini will have a 4.3" 720p display, although that's not listed in the images here.
We already knew that the HTC One Mini is coming to AT&T, and that's the branding on these pics.

It looks like a knock-off One
Storage size is really pushing it. But that is a fun looking mid-ranger. Give it a solid kernel with s2w and l2m, I wouldn't mind it as a backup phone.

Kind of like the BMW 1-series looks like a smaller 5-series. The One's a beautifully crafted phone made with high-end materials. The Mini's a "phone." I can see the design of the One swaying people toward HTC, not so much with the Mini. Its design isn't special but it’s unique because of the dual frontal speakers and UltraPixels. We'll see how it does. The SGS3 Mini has been out for eight months and you hardly ever hear it mentioned anywhere. Its general forum has 143 threads; this one after just four months has 1,091. At least on XDA, mini phones with mini specs don't create a lot of buzz.
233 MB available ram??? WTF, is this really true for every one mini?
I don't biting!!! Waiting info related to the ram, thanks!

Only about 200mb ram free but it's quite smooth although i have full 9 tabs
Maybe you heard about it...
Meizu is releasing mx5 pro mini soon...
This is what I believe will be the best Mi4c's opponent... Anyone here had or has any meizu to share the experience of having a meizu vs a xiaomi...
A while ago I've been tempted to buy the mx4 but for some reason I was afraid to go for it while for the Mi4c I didn't even think twice... I had to buy it no matter what... Maybe I'm a weird guy
Hmm it's just rumours though, I wonder what the final specs be. Won't beat Mi4C software-wise anyways because Meizu locks all of their roms and the bootloader :\.
Is that the 4.7" phone? 1080p screen but mediatek cpu
A friend of mine owned the MX4 Pro. He said the biggest downside was the Flyme OS. It used to have so many bugs.
But specswise it was a great phone. Even the fingerprint sensor used to be one of the fastest.
I have Meizu Note 2 and it's good. There's an option for it to be rooted so it's kind of easy and it's affordable,too.
Mediatek MT6797 Helio X20 look like an interesting SOC. The top performance is pretty much defined by the 2xCortex-A72 and Mali-T880 MP4 at Antutu score at 70,000.
I am more interested in the efficiency of the Tri-cluster. http://heliox20.com/ has some really nice graphical info

Tri-cluster:
Yes till now only rumours... But if these specs are real it'll be another nice machine... And the X20 looks powerful... But I also think I've seen somewhere and it will cost more than Mi4c... But definitely is nice to still have smaller but powerful devices because not everyone likes 5.5/6.0 phablets... To me, 5.0" is perfect size if fited in a compact body like Mi4c.
Anyway, so it means that there isnt much to do regarding costumization in meizu's? That's a NO GO for me... :/
Custom roms would be non existent like Samsung's exynos based phones
That phone will cost at least $400 and at least $500 to import. It isn't an opponent of the Mi4c, it is an opponent of the Mi Note Pro.

I dont think it'll cost that much... That's not price for a brand like meizu in that category... I've read that it's around 300 and if it's the case it will the 3gb version's opponent... Anyway, IMO it will be very hard to beat the Mi4c... This phone is just too good to be true... I wouldn't swap my mi4c for any phone available in the marke right know... And I mean no phone really...
I think it's not a direct opponent of 4c. It'll also cost more.

The youtube channel Geek Love has performed a comparison between 7 popular mid range smartphones:
Jiayu S3+
Doogee F5
Ulefone power,
Oukitel K6000 Pro
Leagoo Elite 1
Umi touch
Elephone P8000
These phones share some similar specifications, as they all have the MT6753 chip, 3GB of RAM, 13MP&5MP cameras. In this video, we see comparisons about:
Design–Back cover & frame materials, buttons
Display–Brightness, color temperature
Screens–Anti-fingerprint coating
Software–OS
Battery–Battery life, battery capacity
Quick charging–Input power
Hardware–Sensors, Storage
Performance–Antutu scores
You can see the whole test in the video below but meanwhile we did a small comparison chart so you can see all details faster:
Here is the full video:
why did u forget great mid-range like these:
redmi note 3
redmi 3
le eco 1s
honor 5x
oneplus x
Le eco 1s eco is a bull **** I am using the phone the ui is crappy also it is full of bloatware.no improvement even after the update provided actually its injecting more bloatware.
Will suggest not to buy this phone
Sent from my Le X509 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I would definitely recommend Elephone. Had a chance to play wit it for some time and its a great overall phone.
Android phone is really cheaper and cheaper
The letv team is launching a new phone every month this makes me more assured that the buyers are not going to get support for these phones .the ui is buggy and crappy .camera app is worst than a 5k handset they have huge amount of bloatware already loaded that even 3 GB ram is insufficient to handle those terrorists.rather than addressing these issues they are launching new buggy handsets.my advise is to stay away from this manufacturer

i would prefer elephone.
i tried elephone s1 and it really looks cool and stylish. downside is, the battery, it can only last up for a day.
Hey everybody. Just want to let you know that my Uncle William, actually works at Nokia in the UK at the moment, for helping Nokia release their 5 New phones. (Just like Sony..) He will probably be attending as one of the Nokia section host's at Barcelona, bit I'm not 100% sure on that, as He hasn't made a clear statment yet on that, and also that I live in NZ.[emoji14]Below are 2 phones that he knows about that are being released soon, and announced at MWC 2017. The other 3 will have specs between the first and second phone below.
A lot of leaks toward another Nokia phone, the Nokia 8, is also going to be one of, but since most of the specs are already leaked, I won't share that info.
Also note that all 5 of the phones that will be unveiled at MWC 2017 will have 4G LTE Connectivity.
The first phone will be called the "Nokia IP1." The Specs are as followed down below. (Note that * means may/may not.)
-6GB RAM
-4G LTE
-Android 7.1
-Selection up to 256GB of built-in storage
-QHD Screen*
-3400Mah Battery*
-Snapdragon 835*
-Water & Dust Resistance* (The name "IP" sort of hints it.)
My uncle basically told me these info above about how it will definitely have 4G, Android 7.1, 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, but unsure about the rest. I can definitely say however that this will be certainly the new Nokia flagship phone of 2017, as the specs of the IP1 is miles ahead better than the already out Nokia 6. The price he told me will just be a little more than the Nokia 6. Having said that, he hasn't told me by how much "little" nore it will cost, but I would guess that it would cost under $350US, or even lower if were lucky.
He didn't send me any photos as he hasn't seen the phone for it self yet.
...Now the second phone is actually a fun one. The next phone is called the Nokia Retro, or alternatively called the new Nokia 3310. Now there aren't yet any official specs given on this phone apart from it's 4G Capability, price tag and RAM capacity, as he doesn't know much about the specs by himself, (He hasn't been given any info.) however, we may see this phone in the lower spec section than the IP1 as the price of the Retro/3310 will be ~168 Pounds. The specs are as followed..
-2GB RAM
-4G LTE
-Snapdragon 650/652*
-2800Mah Battery*
-Android 7.0 OR 7.1*
Having said that, he has also sent me a picture of what the phone will probably look like. Note that the picture he sent me, he had explained that the image is a mockup of what the actual phone will look like, which why I asked him why there was a picture of the Android Lollipop Homescreen in the phone. But personally looking at the design, I do like the nostalgic design of the phone! (Please don't start and say that I have photoshopped this. I'm not that good with photoshop. ) Hope you guys enjoy this news post. If you don't believe me, then I guess we can just wait and see what happens at MWC 2017 at Barcelona on the 26th February! Cheers.
