Mars (champagne gold) back cover real photos released: delicate CNC cutting, Anodizing and sand blasting process
Not long before, vernee official published a set of photos of Mars’ arc antenna band. This technology has high requirements towards the process of the metal cover and adjustment of antenna signal. As a result, only several models so far has adopted this design. But it is real innovation. Even Apple seems to include the arc antenna band into its coming iPhone 7, to make the whole device more graceful.
Today, Vernee official released another set of real photos of Mars’ metal back (champagne gold version)prototype. From the photos, we can see that the antenna band fits the metal frame pretty well as if they were a unified entity.
3D polishing treatment on the edge of the metal frame
Mars has relatively smaller overall size with slim and thin body, suitable for single handling.
I would say a design fault right of the plate with prototype you have their is position of light and also camera. Move them more centered. Reason if you have a side on impact or dropping on phone will lead to it easily being damaged. Maybe in idea for you guys is to have a protective lens cover on phone just like the old sony k850 has totally protecting it and embedded so if it does get hit only cracking glass.
Or even better like the c905
One thing that should really come back in phones is the old style Xenon flash with LED and also have a back light option. Just some ideas to throw your way

probably you are right.. but now, with less than 8mm of thickness, is almost impossible to emboss camera glass ..
The camera position is in my opinion good as other competitors are doing..
News from Vernee about Mars
Without fear for iPhone 7, vernee begins the presale of Mars with $50 discount
Lately vernee released the breaking news that Mars, its third model, will come with 2 variants. Previously leaked model supposed to carry Helio P20 and 6GB will become Vernee Mars Pro. And it will be released in December with the tentative price of $349.99. However Vernee Mars Pro looks almost the same with Vernee Mars in terms of appearance.
As the normal version, Vernee Mars will carry Helio P10(MT6755) chipset and come with 4GB RAM. Without any fear of the pressure from iPhone 7, vernee will also bring Mars to the market and starts the shipment in September.
Vernee Mars adopts an arc antenna band similar to that of iPhone 7. And its metal back cover also features the same anodizing process of iPhone 7. Thanks to the fine polishing process and delicate color arrangement, Mars looks pretty gorgeous. Finely ground sides and corners also improve Mars’ handling experience to a great degree.
Due to the CNC Nano Injection Molding process, Mars has over 98% metal coverage on the back. It is a truly all metal smartphone.
Different from iPhone 7’s total arc design, vernee Mars adopts another great solution. This difference shows vernee’s unique insights towards the user experience.
Vernee Mars has 5.5 inch display with 1mm super thin bezel. The screen-to-body ratio is nearly 80%. With the dimension of 151.6*73*7.6mm, Mars has relatively slim body, which is almost the same size of many 5 inch smartphones nowadays.
The main specs of Vernee Mars are as follows:
CPU: MT6755, Helio P10
Display: 5.5 inch FHD, In-Cell
RAM: 4GB LCDDR 3
ROM: 32GB eMMC 5.0
Rear camera: 13.0 MP SONY IMX258, PDAF, F/2.0
Front camera: 5.0 MP Samsung S5K5E2
Battery: 3000mAH Li-polymer
OS: Stock Android 6.0
Size: 151.6*73*7.6mm
Vernee Mars is priced at $249.99. And the presale has already started with exclusive $50 discount during the period.
1. You can directly purchase Vernee Mars with $50 discount on specific shops by using the exclusive coupon code “vernee8Mars” :
you can visit www.vernee.cc to apply for $50 coupon code anytime you want.
To be honest if I had the funds Id come out with my own phone as have a lot of ideas for a phone regardless of how thin or think it is. Being thin is not everything.
Mars will come soon..
First 3D rendering from Vernee:
Il Mars si mostra nel primo rendering 3D pubblicato da Vernee:
CPU: MT6755, Helio P10 Display: 5.5 inch FHD, In-Cell RAM: 4GB LGDDR 3
https://www.facebook.com/VerneeItalia/
And Vernee just released a close-up video of Mars (not just a rendering.. but real device now!)
Vernee Mars could the world's most narrow 5.5 inch smartphone !
Since Samsung took the lead in manufacturing big-screen smartphones, more and more smartphone makers started to enlarge the screen size of their products.
Nowadays, most smartphones are sized between 5.0 to 6.0 inches, and 5.5 inch smartphones are the majority.
Large-size screen brings better displaying effects of the multimedia contents.
Meanwhile, with bigger screens, people can manage more things, which increases the diversified demands of people towards smartphones.
However, every coin has two sides. Even though large size screen brings so much convenience, it confronts us with the problem of awful single-handed operation.
With the development of smartphones, we want our smartphones thinner, lighter and more powerful.
But due to the restrictions of current technology, we can do very little to improve the status quo. That’s why not many smartphone makers focus their attention on the aspect.
It’s always vernee’s insistence to improve the user experience on the details.
Below comparison will give you some insights of how good the design is.
To bring better single hand experience, we make the body of Mars more compact, with the dimensions of 151.6*73*7.6mm.

Daily use is very good, no lags, all operations are smooth.
The only "issue" is related to fingerprint, not very accurate even if i store up to 5 times my fingers in the available slots.
Btw, battery seems to be astounding, more than 8 hours of Screen On Time [emoji33] mixed use wifi and 4g, with automatic brightness (no localization and no wifi search in background).
Now i'm checking battery capacity with USB amperemether..
Stay tuned

The Newest News of UMi Rome :
UMi Rome Is A $99 Smartphone With MT6753 & 3GB of RAM
UMi is known for making value for money smartphones and this is evident from its recent releases like the UMi Iron Pro and the UMi Hammer S. Now, the company is going to take things to a whole new level with its brand new device, called as the UMi Rome. This latest release from the company will bring the best specifications that we have seen on a phone under $100.
The UMi Rome will feature the fast MT6753 octa-core chip clocked at 1.3GHz. This is the same chip that powers most other mid-range flagships in the market under $200. Along with the powerful processor, the company has included 3GB of RAM. Yes, you heard it right! The phone will indeed feature 3GB of RAM with 16GB of internal storage to make sure that you no longer have to settle for slow smartphones at a budget price.
As for the display, the UMi Rome will feature a large 5.5-inch screen with 1280 x 720p resolution. With this display, you are sure to enjoy watching movies and playing games on the device. At the back, there will be a 13MP Sony IMX164 sensor with dual LED flash. What makes the UMi Rome even more interesting is the presence of an LED flash up front aiding its 2MP shooter. It will surely attract a lot of selfie lovers to this device.
The phone is also pretty compact, measuring just 7.9mm in thickness. Inside this body, you get a 2500mah battery that's large enough to last an entire day. Finally, the Rome will run on the Android 5.1 Lollipop OS.
As you can see, these are great specs for a phone that costs just $99.99. In fact, this budget device can take on the so called flagships like Cubot X15 and Ulefone Paris in a number of areas.
3GB RAM + 16GB ROM, $99.99, really?
The IMX164 is an 8mp senso. So the 13mp is an interpolation.
i saw some real pictures here:
but it seems not at $99.
Looks like a cross between an iPhone and an Elephone P8000.

What can offer a smartphone for $ 89 nowadays?
Over the past few weeks we have seen Chinese phone makers release phones for under $100, some for as little as $70. And for the money they have all looked pretty good, but as prices creep lower so does the amount of RAM available in them.
The answer gives you the UMi Rome , with the design, features and price, this phone could be one of the most affordable smartphone .
UMi Rome has 5.5 AMLED "HD 2,5D display and MediaTek MT6753 octa-core 1.3GHz SoC, well 3 GB of RAM , 16 GB of internal memory , Battery 2,500 mAh and Lollipop Android 5.1 pre-installed. The phone has the intricate CNC’d chassis visible around the edges of the device.
Impossible not to notice how the rear and the lower frame with speaker and micro-USB socket of the device then are guided by Galaxy Note 5 (also the shape of the camera is almost identical), although in the render below the similarity is slightly less marked.
Umi Rome was priced at $ 90. At this price these parameters look great.
As anyone else bought this phone? I'm having some difficulties with it..
Bad touch sensitivity, and LED notification does not work

Is it true that the phone has no amoled display as promissed?

UMI Rome short review
I received an UMI Rome today and made a lot of tests of it and I must say that even for $110 I’m rather disappointed. Here are some of my early findings.
Build quality
The build quality is ok for the price. The phone feels rather solid and weighs 183 grams with screen protector on. But it’s thick and it also feels rather thick and clumsy in the hand. The specs from UMI say 7.9 mm which is a lie even if I measure beside the protruding camera. Beside the camera it’s 9 mm thick and over the camera it’s 10.4 mm. Too thick in my opinion. Also the buttons on the side rattles a bit and feels a bit ”cheap”.
Display
It’s no AMOLED display as far as I can see. On the contrary it seems to be a rather mediocre LCD HD 1280x720 display with not so good viewing angles and a lot of light leakage at the top of the display. If it’s really an AMOLED I wonder how it can have that much light leakage at the top? It’s also no real 2.5D display. The glass has slightly rounded edges but that doesn’t make it 2.5D when there is so much borders on the sides of the display. It just looks 2.5D when the screen is off. The aspect ratio between actual screen and the rest of the front is very good though. The worst downside of the screen is perhaps that it only has a 2-point digitizer. It’s many years since even the cheapest smart phones on the market started to have 5-point touch displays. Really bad. Also the screen has very bad touch sensitivity but probably it gets a bit better if I remove the screen protector.
Radio reception
All radios are suffering from very bad reception. I wonder how they managed to build such a large phone with so bad antennas? The wifi signal is generally 20 dB lower in WiFi Analyzer in the Rome than in my cheap MT6735 reference phone. Also the 4G download speed is low. In Ookla Speedtest I get below 30 Mb/s download speed and below 8 Mb/s upload speed on the same spot as I get 100/40 Mb/s in the MT6735 reference device. The max speed in my 4G network is 100/100 Mb/s on LTE B20. I think the modem in MT6753 is capable of 150 Mb/s download speed and therefor I draw the conclusion that the reception in the Rome is very bad due to bad antennas. Also the GPS reception is very bad. There is no way that I can get a fix inside whereas the MT6735 reference gets a fix in only a few seconds. Even outside it takes a long time to first fix. Seems like antenna problems again. I almost wonder if there’s some production error in my Rome, if all the antennas are wrongly or badly connected somehow? I haven’t tried the BT yet but I suspect that it suffers from the same problem.
Performance
In AnTuTu V6 I get a score of 37,500 which is ok I think. The Mali-T720 GPU in the MT6753 is relatively fast and therefor even most 3D games runs ok. Especially since the GPU only has to drive a HD display. In Geekbench 3 the multi-core score is also ok at 2,900. However, it’s the single-core score that really counts in my opinion and that score is quite low at 620. The low single-core score is reflected in the Sunspider 1.0.2 java test. The Rome needs almost 1200 ms to finish that test with the stock browser. It’s not fair to compare with my $800 iPhone 6S but the 6S finishes the same test almost 6 times faster. One good thing I’ve noticed with all MT6753 devices is that they don’t overheat like the miserable MT6752 SoC does in all devices that I have tested. 5 minutes of HD video in YouTube over WiFi only brings the highest monitored temp in CPU-Z to less than 45°C, whereas the MT6752 easily reaches 70°C.
Cameras
The main camera is quite good but only 8 MP (IMX164 confirmed) interpolated to 13. The photos looks natural in colour and whitebalance, unlike the photos from UMI Hammer 5" for example. Setting the camera resolution to the true resolution, 8 MP in this case, seems to make the photos sharper and better. Maybe because the interpolation mess up the photos. The front camera is a rather bad GC2355 fixed focus 2 MP camera. Maybe good enough for video calls but definitely not good enough for the users who wants to take selfies.
Root
This is the greatest strength of this and other UMI phones. The phone comes pre-rooted with just a flick of a switch. Also SuperSU is already there as soon as you activate developer options and unlock the bootloader. Many thanks to UMI for the initiative to sell the phones pre-rooted (maybe depending on which version of Rome it is for different markets?). Also the Rootjoy PC software deserves a lot of cred even though there’s no other firmware available for the Rome yet (and might never be?).
Software
The phone comes totally free from bloatware. No Chinese crapware and not much gapps crap. Again UMI should have a lot of cred for that I think. All there is is just a standard Android 5.1 + SuperSU.
I add a few screen dumps below from some of the tests I made. If I make any new observations worth sharing I will add them in edits below the original post.

Thanks for the short interview, I found it very useful. Your review reflects most of the issues which people have complained in Umi forum. I also ordered mine around 2 weeks ago, hoping it will be okay for my usage.

The phone is ok but not worth the money really. The battery time turns out to be a lot worse than I thought and there is no way that it's real 2500 mAh. I might test the real capacity over a test load just to prove my point. I did that with the UMI Hammer (the 5", not Hammer S) and it turned out that the specs were greatly exaggerated (not to say faked). I found a lot of other small bugs and problems in the Rome also but hopefully some of them will be fixed with firmware upgrades soon.
I think that the Elephone M2 (same SoC) is a lot better buy at 150 USD (what I paid on pre-order in October 2015), which really means a lot because I don't like the Elephone brand.

Yea, I received the phone. The build is quite good, but the touch screen quality is quite bad, and camera quality does not do better. It's been one day, so I am still trying to see what I can do to improve. I also got Iron Pro for myself, Rome is for my gf, and Iron Pro is quite good though. Umi does produce a nice design and good build phones, but they should do better with their software. And they should stop using false/hype marketing like big companies, they shouldn't do that with their growing reputation *crossed fingers for new update
Ulefone Future 5,5" MTK6755 64bit, 4GB+32GB, Android 6, Fingerprint ID
It has a front without bezel between display and the right & left edges, so it will be thinner than most 5.5" phones such as iPhone 6 Plus. You can not find a volume rocker on the frame because there will be an invisible "touch" volume rocker. Its fingerprint scanner will be located on the right side. The "Future" will be Ulefone’s first metal uni-body model. And it will come with both CyanogenMod and Android 6.0.
It is powered by the MTK6755 2GHz octa-core 64-bit SoC, 4GB RAM plus 32GB storage. This will be Ulefone’s flagship device in 2016.
Ulefone Future
- 5.5 Inch
- Bezel-less
- MTK Helio P10 MTK6755 2GHz octa-core 64-bit SoC
- 4GB RAM & 32GB Storage

It is not out yet and there are no more information, but I'm definitely going to review it when it comes Rumours say that the "Elephone P9000" maybe will look similar as Ulefone and Elephone are working together on some models.
Nice phone! I am really looking forward to it.
Looks like this year's trend will be bezel-less phones. Finally )

Yeah, it is going head to head with the Elephone P9000 Edge.
Ulefone Future vs. Elephone P9000 Edge...... both have similar hardware and design. But there will only be one winner!

I even heard they work together and yeah they both look beautiful <3 I can see that the OS on Ulefone Power looks the same as in the Elephone P9000. Stock Android with e few customizations But in benchmarks the processor looks weak, weaker than x10 on Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 hence even from MTK6752 in multi core so that's definitely a let down. If they just used x10 instead but they probably want to cut the price too as the competition is very high. We'll see how things will go.
Btw, I watch your videos on YT and you do amazing work so keep it up
I'd like to ask you based on the phones you've used/reviewed which one would you suggest more based on display, OS stability-speed-lag free and support, performance - gaming, camera, battery (I heard there are batteries that get weaker after only a few charges or maybe months i.e percents of batteries go down while screen off(have you faced such an issue ?) .. etc.
Eagerly waiting for this phone to get released. The build quality and the display are looking top notch from all the photos and videos you can find on the web.

It should come end March if everything goes well.....
Personnally, never liked the buttons on screen or one-button phones. It looks like a good phone, but not for me. I wish they build another version that have menu, back and home button not in the screen...
Anyone else thinking like me?
it is amazing, i like it. good design
It seems it will have a version with Helio X20 and 128 GB internal memory:
Ulefone Future will have Helio X20 128GB Version
Chinese brands are high on making devices with stunning specs since the beginning of 2016. Earlier we have Xiaomi, VIVO, and now Ulefone join in the rush saying their bezel-less device Ulefone Future will also a Helio X20 version with 128GB built-in storage.
Ulefone says the X20 Future will still be equipped with 4GB RAM because the chipset is not compatible with 6GB memory at all according to the MTK official information. Among other specs, the display will have a resolution of 2K and the back camera will adopt 20MP CMOS. Due to a shortage in supply of X20 chipset, the top-spec Future will be released later than the Helio P10 version.
In addition to the bezel-less Future, Ulefone will also launch a version with narrow bezels around display, also packing Helio P10 and 4GB RAM but offering lower camera resolution and smaller built-in storage. And of course this version will be a little cheaper.
Anyway, the normal version of Ulefone Future will be released in April with 16MP Samsung Camera, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 1080P display besides, Helio P10 and 4GB RAM.

I think I also would prefer hardware buttons because from what I can see in the video, the screen doesn't fill up the full phone frame, and the virtual, pop-up buttons look like a little too away from the bottom edge. It's weird.
I think a best bet is just to keep the traditional, stylish look such as from Be Touch 3 and Vienna. The virtual pop-up buttons could end up compromising the new design style and new features of the phone. My 2c.
According with Ulefone news, it will be on sale next week
Ulefone Announces Bezel-less Flagship Device Ulefone Future
If you have ever suspected that Ulefone Future is a just a bait the company use to keep the their brand awareness, you can be at ease now because we finally see the bezel-less device announced on the official page of Ulefone, who stresses the sale will begin next week.
Ulefone Future has all the specs that are supposed to come with a Ulefone flagship in the year of 2016. The octa-core 64-bit chipset Helio P10 is as fast as 2GHz; RAM and built-in storage are enlarged to 4GB and 32GB, respectively; and the 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 camera is expected to offer more details in photos with PDAF for fast focus as well as dual-tone flash to fill natural light in darkness.
The above specs only justify the Future’s existence in the high-end market, but it would be an average competitor if without the bezel-less display and side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The 5.5-inch 1080P display is said to offer limitless visual experience while sitting below the power button, the fingerprint scanner will be right next to your finger.
3000mAh battery capacity sounds mediocre this year but a flaghship is not supposed to be thick. Many brands’ solution to this dilemma is a high-power charger, while Ulefone is no exception. They will provide users of the Future with a 9V/2~3A charger to fill up its battery in 1 hour.
Another indicator for Ulefone Future being a flagship is its metal unibody, which claims to come from a whole piece of magnesium-aluminum ingot by CNC cutting. While preserving the natural texture of metal, the unibody will have solid structure to protect the screen from hitting.
For more, Ulefone Future will come with Android 6.0; the Cat 6 baseband will support 350Mbps mobile data speed if your local carrier can offer 4G at that level; gyro sensor is equipped for VR apps; and Type-C USB is adopted for reversible plug.
Ulefone Future measures 151.5 x 73.5 x 8.6mm in size and the weight is 185kg with battery built in. Thanks to the bezel-less design, the Future will be smaller than most 5.5-inch devices. And you will have 2 colors to choose, grey and golden.

Ulefone Future - Information & Reviews
Introduction
After their amazing DAC Smartphone at a low price, Ulefone has finally announced another amazing device that will be sold with sales starting from next week.
This is the Ulefone Future
Unlike their previous devices, this is their first flagship featuring a Mediatek Helio P10 CPU, 4GBs of RAM with 32GB of ROM, an excellent 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 Camera supported by PDAF auto-focus and a dual-tone flash configuration, a 4G Cat. 6 Modem and a Gyroscope Sensor. Pretty nice considering that no other Ulefone device was made with so much high-end hardware.
Even if some previous leaks said that it would have a 2K Display, this isn't true. It will have a 1080p 5.5" Display (bezel-less)
Similar to some Sony Xperia devices, the Ulefone Future will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a pretty particular feature that makes this device different than others.
There are no dimensions known yet, but it is said to be absolutely thick and this is why its battery is just 3000mAh. It doesn't mean that this is too low, because the included hardware doesn't require so much power. Supported by MTK Pump Express Quick Charge technology, it will be able to be recharged in more or less 1 hour.
Almost all Chinese companies are now focusing their attention on the chassis, and this device will have a Metal Chassis (with CNC treatment) that makes the device much more ergonomic and reduces the risk to break it much easier than standard treatment.
Mediatek provided the Helio P10 CPU only starting with Android 6.0, so the Ulefone Future will have the latest release of Android.
Other details coming soon
Hi Guys. New information. The Pre-sale will start on 4th May 2016:

More information about the battery
Ulefone Future Recharge and Drainage Test
Ulefone Future has 3000mAh battery which is only passable in the year of 2016, since a flagship is not supposed to be thick. As compensation, a 9V/2~3A fast charger will come in the package to fill up the battery in 1 hour.
In a latest battery test, Ulefone staff managed to charge Ulefone Futre from 21% to 76% in half an hour with the phone turned on, indicating that a singe charge will cost less than 1 hour. And playing online HD video for 30 minutes, the battery drained from 100% to 91%. If this has authentically reflected real life, one-day normal use should be out of problem.
In addition, Ulefone Future will share the same Pump Express Plus charger with the mammoth battery device Ulefone Power. And as always, Ulefone claims the Future has packed a Sony li-polymer battery.

Which one is better between Shark 1 and Oukitel K10000? I love to get one
Thanks for your advice. I will go for Oukitel K10000. Does Oukitel K10000 has freezing or hanging issue?

If battery life is the most important thing to you, then get the K10000. It also has a very bright display. I've seen somewhere that Leagoo Shark 1 scores around 10-11 hours in PCMark Battery test while K10000 scores 29 hours. You can find reviews for both the devices at devicespecifications.com

Is Oukitel K10000 free from freezing or hanging ROM ? How smooth or fast is its ROM ? Most China made phones are plagued with freezing or hanging issue.
Dual stand by with MicroSD
Can I use 2 SIM cards with memory card together on Leagoo shark or there is same "problem" like on Oukitel K10000?
Can you please share the wallpapers found in this device? thanks.

Hang on FumiJ, i'm confused. In your 'real pictures' of the Leagoo shark, the bezel/border is waaaaay thicker than in any other photos i've seen, or the photos posted in this initial thread. It looks like a completely different phone. I can't get a straight answer out of leagoo about what the phone actually looks like. Are you sure these photos are of the same phone/version?

Hmm,really nice phone I just seen,on geekbuying is only 160 euros
Hi,
I also bought one, But mine has a little bit trouble with focusing while taking a picture.
It is working fine while shooting a video, but whenever i try to take a picture, most of the time the picture gets a focusing issue (resulting in too much or too less light).
Did you encounter similair problems?

UHANS A101: Salute to Nokia
Except for U100, U200, S1 and Balance, another new member named as A101 has joined the UHANS Party. Just as its name suggests, it is the first model of the “A” lineup standing for affordable smartphones and also a salute to Nokia.
Although this giant has fallen down, its scrupulous attitude in phone manufacturing and glorious sales legend still remain. It is a classic brand to be admired in people’s mind.
To give tribute to it, UHANS A101 is gonna carry on some outstanding characteristics of it. Rugged and solid as Nokia is, UHANS find it hard to surpass but try to get close to. You don’t have to feel walking on egg shells worrying your precious smartphone will get a scratch or dent.
Last but not least, it will be a smartphone with a budget powered with MT6737.
This UHANS A101 will come out in the middle of August.
A preview of the device has been just published on UHANS FB Page.
https://www.facebook.com/UHANSMobil...9892364178500/611118515722550/?type=3&theater
It seems pretty good, but...probably not rugged as they made me think haha.
Big battery! Pokemon Go!

There are no details about battery yet, but the chassis thickness makes me think at least 2600mAh.
UHANS A101: First look
It is scheduled to come out in the middle of August with an compelling price tag. Being a device inspired by Nokia, let’s check how it is.
Black and White, two color variants will be available covering all common consumers interest. In addition, there will be probably a gold version.
The frames are sprayed separately with gray and silver metallic finish with lovely curves to give a gentle touch to grips.
The classic tradition of the removable battery will be carried forward on UHANS A101. Taking a spare battery rather than a bulky power bank allows you to get twice the power with you.
The whole curvy body wraps up a 5.0-inch 2.5D glass display. Fueled by a MediaTek MT6737 64-bit 1.3 GHz processor and Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the UHANS A101 is packed into a body of 143.5*71.2*9.5mm. Also, it supports FDD-LTE Band 1/3/7/8/20 (4G network).
Interesting. Dimensions are not as compact as the smallest 5.0" phones, but still not bad. And a removeable battery is always welcome for Pokemon Go!
UHANS A101’s hexa-oval design inspired by “Casa Vicens”
Antoni Gaudi left the world astonishing with so many architecture masterpieces, including the famous one “Casa Vicens” located in Barcelona. Every corner of this building is round with no severe lines and angles. UHANS A101 is inspired by such a concept.
Unlike most clean-cut designed smartphones on the market, no sharp lines can be found on UAHNS A101. It is composed by six ovals seen from every side, altogether forming an elliptical piece of artwork.
Simplicity is the ultimate complexity. UHANS A101 explains that to the fullest. The zero-sharp-line design takes away the “coldness” that usually comes with a tech device, while leaving the “gentleness” exuding from the streamlined body.
The rubber coated finish makes the back cover feel like delicate leather, nothing like that of cold metal, glass and plastic. 5.0-inch display makes A101 approachable to palms of all sizes. And it pairs well with your pockets.
UHANS A101 is worthy the title of the “Casa Vicens” in the smartphone world. It is possibly the most palm-friendly Android smartphone on the market.
Are those photos how the chamfers are going to be? Because that looks really nice.

Yes, probably one of the best design i have ever seen. Also the color is pretty nice.
After rose gold, will slate gray be the new “black”?
Black has long been favored not only in the fashion history, but also in the mobile phone industry. However, it seems that black is losing its dominating position. First comes rose gold that has been popularized by iPhone 6S, and then we see blue is stealing the thunder when Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Huawei Honor 8 made their public appearance.
Classic as black is, UHANS decided to ditch this color variant on UHANS A101 by using slate gray, which they name it as Midnight navy and white that’s named Cloud dancer.
What we’re gonna talk about here is slate gray. It is a gray color mixed with a slight azure tinge that represents the average color of the material slate. Probably that’s where the name comes from. It is a color between black and deep blue. The blue is quite deep, almost close to gray, which also conveys our founder’s love for Nokia and this is how we’re giving tribute to Nokia.
Besides, the color itself expresses a lot about style-consciousness. It combines luxury with casualty, peaceful and calm. It is also a color quite popular in house decoration, while it looks also attractive in hair style and special in dressing style. Holding a phone of that color in hand, you can easily shift from workplace to personal life fashionably.
Will it become a new trend of popularity just like rose gold of iPhone taking the world by a storm?
How am I gonna leave fingerprints on UHANS A101?
Inspired by Casa Vicens, the design of UHANS A101 is full of slight and warm curves. In order to make it more delicate, they have put two layers of rubber coating to the back cover. And it feels insanely good.
Rubber coating is also called leather coating as it feels just like leather. Unlike glossy glass and plastic which feels cold and slippery, rubber coating gives the hand a warm and soft feeling. What’s more, the texture matches well with the round shape and curves.
However, what I like most about it is not the hand feeling, but the anti-fingerprint feature. Normally, it doesn’t catch fingerprints at all until your hands get pretty greasy or something. Samsung S7/S7 edge has been complained of smudging as hell because of the glass back. In contrast, UHANS A101 stays clean as hell.
UHANS A101: A tribute to Nokia or a parody to Samsung Galaxy S7?
While UHANS A101 is paying tribute to Nokia, some said it looks more like a tribute to the Galaxy S7 and S4 because they’re so much alike. Galaxy S7 or S4? Whatever. See how it looks like.
Samsung Galaxy S7 has a meaningfully different look and touch with rough edges smoothed. The curves are bold, totally changing how users think about smarphones’ shapes. This is exactly what UHANS A101 is trying to learn from it. However, not all of it. The plastic with rubber coating A101 applies is distinctive from S7’s premium glass. Guess they want to get rid of all the smudges that comes with glass material though it looks and feels quite so damn nice. That said, the texture of A101 may be soft and fingerprint-resistant.
A premium design does not only make S7 the best smartphone, but the specifications. It’s got quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM and 32/64GB ROM, 5.1-inch super AMOLED display with 1440*2560 resolution. It runs Android 6.0 and has a 12MP rear camera, 5MP camera and 3000 mAh battery capacity. What’s more, it is IP68 certified. UHANS A101 is nothing compared to Samsung Galaxy S7. What powers it up is quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor pairing with 1GB RAM ans 8GB ROM. It also runs the Android 6.0, however, it has a 5.0-inch display with 1280*720 resolution, 5MP rear camera and 2MP front camera. The battery capacity is 2450mAh. The A101 takes three very Nokia-like characteristics and blends them into a modern Android smartphone. It’s compact and hard-wearing, and has a removable battery.
However, there’s no point in comparing the specs without considering the prices. High-end specs of Samsung Galaxy S7 comes with a price. Indeed, a high price about $750, which is almost 10 times as UHANS A101.
UHANS CEO Eric Wu said, “People are overusing smartphones these days, some are even addicted, so we want more and more functions on a smartphone. But we don’t really need that much, sometimes less is more.” Therefore, the A101 goes back to basics with minimal specs to meet the most basic needs.
The A101 clearly isn’t made to be a powerhouse. It’s made for affordability so that anyone can afford one, and the expected cost is less than $70. Pre-orders for the A101 will begin in a few days.

Finally we can compare the screen of this A101 with other devices, this time with a Galaxy S7. I know, the former has a IPS screen while the latter an AMOLED screen, but at least you can the color accuracy and brightness.
I'm curious to compare it with the UHANS S1 that had a really nice screen.
Uhans A101 redefines smart-phone delivering powerful up-to-date CPU MT6737 with 1.3GHz not limited by Uhans engineers like it is with the other manufacturers

The 10/20/30 are all fantastic phones, a real difficult decision as to which one to purchase.
The decision for me was a no brainer....NONE OF THEM.
Yup, they didn't include the Notification LED.
Nuf said...............................
Four water-proof phones you'll want right now
Lots of people tells you electronics and water cannot mix. If you work outdoors, tired of being afraid of having something spilt on your precious phone; or you just want to Tweet while you shower. Whatever the reason, an IP67/IP68 rating smartphone should be at the top of your shopping list. The following are 4 waterproof smartphones I would recommend.
iPhone7/7 Plus
Although iPhone7/7 Plus almost looks like the same as iPhone6s/6s Plus except for adding two new colors and redesigning back antenna, there are still some new impressing features. Aside from iPhone 7 Plus coming with dual rear cameras for the first time, what appeals to me is that iPhone7/7 Plus finally come with IP67 rating water and dust resistant which allow for briefly dunking in the water. Besides, iPhone7/7 Plus come with the most powerful specs especially the A10 processor that is almost twice as fast as iPhone6s/6s Plus. It is safe to say iPhone7/7 Plus is one the best smartphones in the world. When you are looking for a smartphone with water and dust resistance, taking iPhone7/7 Plus into account is reasonable.
Galaxy S7 Edge
Samsung made Galaxy S5 feature IP67 2 years ago, and now Galaxy S7 Edge is also IP68 dust and water proof (30 minutes in water over 1.5 m deep). As the best android smartphone after Galaxy note 7 suffered its disastrous failure, not only is Galaxy S7 Edge equipped with high-end specs but also has the gorgeous appearance with the edge to edge AMOLED display and a metal body, but also the performance of its cameras is very likely to be the best of all the smartphones including iPhone7/7 Plus. Galaxy S7 Edge definitely deserves being considered by everyone who is into Android phones.
Sony Xperia XZ
Sony Xperia XZ as the latest addition to their flagship X family features the general rectangular slab-like design, with glass up front, an all metal back plate, and of course, an IP68 rating for resistance to dust and water. In terms of specs, Xperia XZ comes with a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32 GB or 64 GB of on-board storage, 23 MP rear and 5 MP front cameras, bears 2,900*mAh battery which is good enough for a full day of use. This device is priced at $699 which is in the same price range as Galaxy Note 7, I would say the price is a bit high, but if you want a high-end smartphone with IP68 rating and you don’t like Galaxy S7 Edge, then you can’t ignore Sony Xperia XZ.
Nomu S20
After introducing 3 high-end flagships, now I am going to recommend a budget rugged phone named Nomu S20 which comes with a 5-inch HD display, 8MP rear and 5MP front cameras. Under the hood, this phone comes with MediaTek quad-core 4G LTE processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of ROM and is packed with 3000*mA battery along with a fast charging feature. Nomu S20 has IP68 rating just like Galaxy S7 Edge, but unlike those three above, Nomu S20 is a professional rugged phone. It is able to survive a drop from 1.5 meter height, which those high-end flagships are too fragile to survive. Also, -20℃ to 55℃ working temperature range allows you to use it in most of the places you can imagine. You can feel free to use this handset without worrying in the most unexpected conditions. What’s more, $169.99 price point make it the most affordable waterproof smartphone. If you do not have hundreds of dollar to spend, maybe Nomu S20 is a good choice for you.

iPhone 7+ - IP67 - Not Mil Spec-810G - 2900mAh - Notification LED - Locked down.
Galaxy S7 - IP68 - Not Mil Spec-810G - 3600mAh - Notification LED - Locked down.
Xperia XZ - IP65 - Not Mil Spec-810G - 2900mAh - Notification LED - Locked down.
Nomu S20 - IP68 - Not Mil Spec-810G - 3000mAh - NO Notification LED - Locked down
CAT S60 - IP68 - Mil STD-810G - 3800mAh - Notification LED - Locked down - FLIR Camera
Nomu S20/Xperia XZ/Galaxy S7/iPhone 7 comparison:
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/e71d9cf7c
The Nomu S10 and S30 both have 5000mAh batteries.
You forgot the Cat S60 with the FLIR camera....FLIR camera, now how cool is that!
It also is a true IP68, it can go down to 15 Ft for 30 minutes, that is a true IP68 rating, not this 3 feet for 30 min that Nonu and Samsung have.....iPhone and Xperia only take a splash, not a dunk, the'e IP67.
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/75203bc3
If you do anything outdoors that relies on GPS, with the screen ON, and listening to music, the bigger the battery the better....for me.
My criteria:
5.5" / 720p / Backlit keys / Notification LED / 4000mAh min / Quad 64bit 2000MHz min OR Octo 64bit 1500MHz min / 2GB RAM DDR3 min / 16GB ROM min / 64GB SDHC/XC / IP68 / Mil STD-810G OR Ruggedized / GPS / Gyro/ Compass / Proximity / Accelerometer / SIM2 3G / Lollipop or lower, I want R00T capability.
Its not that far of a dream the phone I want, the Nomu S30 had it all and then they left out the Notification LED....A phone with some amazing specs and NO Notification LED.....WTF.....
http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/b0e73f1b
I will give up 4G, or backlit keys....I won't compramise on the Notification LED.
Well, you mentioned your innermost need of the notification led twice already. I do not need it but please follow your ideal phone.
Please also give us a ballpark price range of the CAT phone when you have a chance. What is it? Like FOUR times the Nomu's price?
Getting even better - burning this time

3X The $$ and 4X the phone. 15 feet deep for ½ Hour!
> FLIR camera .... Fun stuff! I can think of all sorts of places to use it and annoy my girlfriend at the same time.
> MIL-STD-810G
What's annoying about the CAT S60, and prevented me doing the purchase is ...
#1) Battery, Nomu/3800mAh - CAT/3000mAh
#2) Smaller screen, Nomu/5"(on screen keys) - CAT/4.7"
CAT S60 is a solid, robust phone that is weak in the battery department and a step back for me as I have a 5" phone and want to go to a 5.5" phone.
The Nomu S30 was almost perfect, then they missed the Notification LED, what a letdown......
Kinda like, meeting the perfect girl, then she opens her mouth and sounds like Fran Drescher.
so much talking about nice phones from Nomu but you claim to have bought HT20 with the smallest screen. just for Notification light.
HT20 claims 3850 battery and you admit yourself it below 3000.
Moreover Ht20 has serious mic problems and hence waterproof problems if one uses Homtom cure for mic..
BTW you are mistaken Nomu S20 does not have 3800 battery . it is 3000 mAh.
Personally I do not like LED light at night. I do not care for NL. I like t check myself than be bothered by the light
Interesting video for Nomu
There is an very interesting video collection for Nomu, , very impressive, love it so much.
