Right now Chinese mobile device manufacturers have produced series of high end smartphones which bring more competition for most rivals or customers. We have got the latest news from Chinese manufacturer, Ulefone, they are readay to produce Ulefone Vienna. They focus on Battery size last year, this year they are committed to the audio devices.
Ulefone Vienna will be the new device attached great importance to the HIFI effect. And it will also use a 1920*1080p display, you can see the picture which leaked the news about the smartphone.
As for how much about it, when will it be released? I think we should wait for more news from Ulefone official!
Therefore, what do you think of this Ulefone Vienna? Will it be over the other models like Ulefone Power, Umi iron pro?
Hope you can share more with me?

I wonder if they are using a built-in DAC and that's why they call it "HiFi Experience".
It was about time for Ulefone to introduced to us a new phone. All of their competitors have already announced their flagships. Let's hope Vienna's gonna be a great phone
looks cool, as an owner of ulefone be touch 3 i really like this company and it's products, will keep an eye out for this one
As you know, i have checked the news that Ulefone Vienna will be released, and ulefone focus on the audio-centric route like other Chinese smartphones , Vivo, Meizu, etc. According to the latest news , Ulefone Vienna will be powered by MTK6753 Octa core chipest, and the storage will be ROM 32GB, and the RAM has 3gb, which has changed the previous specs. About the other function, it is said it will have Fingerprint scanner on the back of the design.
About the selling price, it is still not sure. Just wait and see the result.
It wasn't mentioned anywhere but it's a 5.5", right?

Wow, ulefone vienna not only performs well in its hardware, but also the speaker, sound effect. They have leaked the video test about it.
The test in the video has the Ulefone Vienna plugged in to a set of high-end HiVi M200MKI speakers and demonstrates the audio performance through 7 different tracks from bass and treble to vocals and pop music.
Where's the video though?
Walter H. said:
I read on geekbuying that it is 3250mAh., not amazing but it's not bad. If it's as well done as the Ulefone Power then it's a real interesting phone.

Meizu has released the rumors that Meizu will announce Meizu MX6 or Meizu Pro 5 mini, as you know, Xiaomi Mi5 will come out on Feb on MWC, 2016 soon. Meizu seems to be released after Xiaom MI5 for most users’ thinking.
Sources say that the Meizu MX6 will be a more elegant design than the MX5 with a more rounded metal frame and new curved glass design. The body of the phone will be large enough for a 4000mAh battery.
Meizu MX6 will use curved screen and Flyme6 OS, it's said Samsung will provide its screen and processor, Samsung Exynos 8890 processor, and wireless charging.
About released date, it will be in the second half year. So what do you think of this Meizu MX6, which one will be better between Xiaomi Mi5 and Meizu Mx6?

Meizu MX6 will have 4000mAh battery and Helio X20 processor at 1799RMB.
According to reports this morning, the MX6 will support all current Chinese 3G and 4G LTE networks making it the first Meizu to be offered in one model compatible with all networks. This is good news for Chinese buyers but what about the rest of the hardware?
Apparently the Meizu MX6 will continue with a similar thin bezel design to the MX5, but will see an upgrade to the Mediatek Helio X20, 4GB RAM and a larger 4000mAh battery. The phone is also said to have an 8 mega-pixel front camera and 20.7 mega-pixel rear.
Will it surpass Xiaomi Mi5 or not?
Well... I'm waiting for 2017, for price drop on pro 5. Now I have MX5, before I had m1 note. So MX6... in 2018

I have read the latest tech news about Homtom smartphone, it will release Homtom HT7 Pro smartphone at $89.99 which is likely to the cheapest 4G mobile. When we see this kind of price, it will be much attractive for the latest 4G smartphone.
What’s more, it comes with MTK6735 SOC chipset , will have 5.5inch HD IPS screen with 1280*720p screen resolution, the other outstanding feature is that it has 3000mAh battery and it has metal design. I guess in view of this kind specs, the overall performance will be the most attractive thing of course including the metal design and the tempting price.
Therefore, what do you think of it? Which smartphone will it kill according to the Chinese smartphones mtk6735 4G now?

Hi,
Is there any possibilities to root the device or recovery like cwm or twrp? Thanks...
Isn't HOMTOM a spinoff of another company? Can't remember which though.

I think HT7 Pro will be a best buy...I've bought HT7 "standard" and I'm happy but 1 GB of RAM is very little
Really good specs for the money. Has anybody have had any expirience with this brand?

I bought this phone for 70$. Are there any other users of this phone on XDA?
I hope that there will be option to root this phone.
EDIT: I founf HT7 Pro thread ona XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/homtom-ht7-pro-t3354975
Well I bought the HT7 Pro.
At first it seemed to work well although the battery life was quite limited and just a little web browsing would quickly reduce battery charge to less than 50%.
I hate to think of the battery life if I did much calling.
But DISASTER! after just 10 days the phone has locked up with a reboot menu and the cursor flicking across all three possibilities. It does not respond to any keys.
I have tried a hard reset, power + Volume up buttons but it does not reset at all. So the phone is now useless!
Doogee has leaked the news about the other mid range smartphone, Doogee Y300 which is powered by Android 6.0 OS. It is powered by MTK6735 Quad core 64bit processor. It has 5inch in-cell screen , 2.5d back and front glass. As for the storage it has RAM 2GB ROM 32GB internal storage. Most importantly, it will be sold at $129.99, which is cheaper than other smartphones with this kind of performance. And as for dual camera, Doogee have also opted for an 8 mega-pixel Sony IMX219 rear camera and 5 mega-pixel OV front camera.
The phone can also accept micro SD cards, dual SIMs and is compatible with FDD LTE bands 800/1800/2100/2600.
Therefore, what will you like most about this Doogee Y300? Will you have a try?

So I just ordered it. Maybe I'll have it the end of next week. It's just a stop-gap till I get a different phone.
I'm curious about custom ROMs. The phone is so new, support looks thin now. I'd love to try MIUI or Cyanogenmod or something on it.
i've had mine for a week or so now. i really like it. it's beautiful, it feels great in my hands and it runs really nicely. i have not found a way to root it yet, though. i suspect it's just a matter of time.
For rooting, my TWRP is ready :

According to China tablet news website, Chinese tablet pc brand, iFive Pro 2 will release the new product, iFive Pro 2 tablet pc on May 15. It has been one year that iFive released its new tablet. But what kind of surprise will it bring us? And will consumers try it soon?

Before the official release, some netizens exposed some info about iFive Pro 2. In terms of the leaked photos, its design use liquid metal frame and fashion leather shell and there is fingerprint at the bottom of the front design with double speakers, USB Type C port, volume button on the top right.
As for configuration, it reveals that it is possibly powered by RK3288 processor Cortex A17 Quad core processor, considering iFive always uses Rockchip chipset. Besides, iFive Pro 2 will use 9.7inch 2K screen with RAM 4GB ROM 32GB, And we have no idea about its dual camera until now.
We also care about the price, some websites said the selling price of iFive Pro 2 will be a little higher. We can guess it will sell at 200usd to 300usd. After all iFive brand has been known for its excellent design and quality and it has good reputation among consumers. Under the condition of the fierce competition in electronics, tablet pc has become the one that many manufacturers attach importance to and compete, too. This time, Ifive has come back, we must be very looking forward to it. Let’s see on May 15. We will report more tomorrow.

RK3288 at this point? Wouldn't they use RK3368 or, possibly, 3399?
Looking forward to hearing from this tablet, I have an iFive X2 and I love it after all this time!

It's the RK3288 indeed.
Here's the product site: http://www.ifive.com.cn/product/pc/3-1-25.html
Not sure if the keyboard comes with the tab or it's a separate purchase. The battery is a respectable 7.800 mAh.
seems not cheap. I can buy other tablets with much more cheaper price and with same specifications. Such as 'dragon touch'.

I'm not sure you're getting fingerprint sensors or long battery backups with those. FNF tends to have very good designs with attention to detail unmatched by the rest of Chinese contenders (I've gone through many Teclasts, Cubes and Ondas and the one I keep is my iFive X2, close to three years old but rocking hard still). Their main issue is the crappy EMMC storage they are keen to use, which may not be a problem anymore.
