Mobile Professional Reviews--Oppo R5 review
Oppo's R5 is a seriously gorgeous phone. Clad in metal, it's super-thin -- just 4.85mm (0.19 inches) deep, and it weighs a scant 155 grams (5.5 ounces). It's certainly impressive, but this comes at the loss of the 3.5mm audio jack, so you'll have to use Bluetooth headphones if you want to listen to music. For Android fans envious of the iPhone 6 's slim frame, well, look no further. The R5's ultra-slim body beats the iPhone handily, and will draw envious stares from other Android owners as well. But slimness isn't all that great without the performance to back it up, and this is where the phone falters. It's oftentimes sluggish, and the camera takes forever to start up. The phone's thin frame also doesn't help with the heat and it can get uncomfortably hot at times. Oppo hasn't yet revealed exact dates for the phone's availability, but the Chinese company intends to sell it globally, either through its online store or working in partnership with local distributors. What I do know is that there will be three versions due to the different LTE bands -- one for the US, one for China and one for the rest of the world. Price wise, the R5 will be sold at $449, which converts to roughly £310. It will also come unlocked, so you'll be able to use the phone on 3G mostly everywhere. The R5 is encased in metal -- with a hand-polished steel frame and, on the back, brushed aluminum. This gives the phone a premium feel that you'd expect from a more expensive device. The two-tone color scheme (either white and silver or white and gold) at the back does draw comparisons to Apple's iPhone designs, but the shape of the phone is much more angular. Despite being thinner, it doesn't feel as slippery as the iPhone. One downside to the thin frame of the phone is that the rear 13-megapixel sticks out, much like Apple's iPhone. However, unlike the small bump of the iPhone 6, the R5's rear camera pops out a fair way, enough that it makes the phone uneven when placed on a flat surface. The R5 sports a 5.2-inch AMOLED display, with a full HD resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels. The screen is bright and sharp, while colors were vibrant. I do have issues with the auto-brightness settings of the phone -- it can sometimes be too dim. Like most Chinese-made smartphones, the R5 sports physical home, menu and back keys. I'm not a fan of physical keys since I feel software keys are better to interact with -- you can (depending on the OS) switch the back button to either the left or right position. The volume and power keys are on the right side, with the micro-USB port at the bottom. As mentioned earlier, there's no 3.5mm audio jack. Oppo's R5 is powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, and in theory, should have enough juice to power the phone. But my experience with the device was less than satisfactory: at times the phone would pause between switching apps, for example. I reckon a software update could fix this, and I will update the review if it does. The phone packs 2GB of RAM, 16GB of onboard storage and a 2,000mAh battery. There's no microSD card slot to expand that storage, which limits the number of apps you can install and the number of tunes and movies you can keep onboard. The phone is powered by Android 4.4 KitKat -- not the latest 5.0 Lollipop -- with Oppo's custom ColorOS UI on top. The software is very much improved from the company's first version, How to move apps from an old iPhone to a new iPhone though it looks similar. For one, it's much flatter.

Low on budget, high on features. LeEco's flagship Le 1s is breaking industry records
Hello folks, this is Rakesh and this is my review of LeEco's Le 1s.
Over the past few months, I noticed a flurry of LeEco phone advertisements in all leading newspapers and journals regularly. This made me curious and my excitement grew manifold because of the sublime looks of the phone and reasonable price at which it is offered. So, I spoke to a friend who bought one and examined the phone in order to have a better perspective for myself.
With the Le 1s, LeEco offers a smartphone with specs that one can only expect from a high-range smartphone. The phone offers some cool features that come handy in performing many tasks. To name a few, the 5.5-inch FHD touch screen display with 403 PPI, adds to the viewing experience of watching videos and playing games.
The device is powered by a 2.2 GHz Octa-Core Mediatek Helio X10 Processor, on which Android 5.0 (Lollipop) operating system runs smoothly. It is ably supported by 3 GB RAM which ensures that users get a seamless performance while multitasking.
This smartphone is stacked with an impressive 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front facing camera which ensures that you click the best photographs (including selfies) and allows video calling even in low light conditions.
For its price, the Le 1s is extremely well-designed and it’s metal body gives it a premium look. The full-metal aircraft grade aluminium unibody not only makes the phone look modern and sleek but it is also very light and does a great job of protecting your phone if you drop it.
VERDICT:
The Le 1s stands out from the crowd in its own unique way. With a new interface, cool features and a simple setup process, it is an excellent budget phone with a fantastic design and performance for the price.
Oukitel K6000 Premium Leaks - 6GB Of RAM, 6,000mah Battery, Touch ID
According to the source in Oukitel, they are going to have a new device named OUKITEL K6000 Premium in next few months. Oukitel redesign the appearance of K6000 Premium to make the phone a true premium piece. We’re talking about Oukitel K6000 Premium which will feature 6GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage according to our source at the company. According to the info, this handset will sport a curved glass back, and will ship with a 13-megapixel camera on both its back and front side. Sony’s IMX258 13-megapixel sensor will be utilized on the device’s back, and we still don’t know which sensor will be used up front (quite probably one of OmniVision’s sensors), but we do know that the company will include a front-facing LED flash here as well. Anyway, the dual 13MP cameras are very attractive for those who like selfies. Besides, the K6000 Premium will carry a curved glass-smooth back cover like Samsung Galaxy S7, a 5.5-inch AMOLED FHD display, Helio X20 chip set clocked at 2.5GHz, Android 6.0 OS, fingerprint sensor and Hi-Fi audio. Those all seems amazing, but don't know when it is available and what the price is. Source: androidheadlines.com
Suggestion regarding purchase of smart Phone within 25K
Hello,
I am a bit confused regarding purchasing a good phone.
I want to know which Android mobile will be best to buy. I just need perfect working with no issue.
My budget is from 20000 to 25000 Rupees.
It should include functions like:
- Have minimum screen size of 5.5”.
- Have minimum of 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory. [if possible with expandable memory]
- Have minimum Octa Core processor [at least have or more 1.5GHz]
- Camera should have minimum of 13 mega pixel (back) and at least 5 mega pixel (front)
- Full HD with display resolution 1920X1080. [with a good resolution for video recording also]
-Smart looking and good battery life.
- Perfect Touch screen with high resolution and some like scratch resistant or protection to screen [may be gorilla class- version 3 or 4]
I have short listed my own 3 choices. Please compare and suggest.
Possible negative point (in my openion)
1. Samsung Galaxy A7 [ whether battery back-up will be a problem]
2. HTC Desire S826 [ Non-metallic body & display is not Super amoled type]
3. Gionee Elfie S7 [screen size a bit smaller – 5.2” & no expandable memory & after
sales service]
Regards
