The ZTE Blade S6 best resembles the apple iPhone 6. Everything from the name to be designed by ZTE in california text on the back cover. This is in a lot of ways a knock off of the iPhone 6. This is not a bad device and it does offer a couple of major features that the iPhone 6 doesn't have. Such as a relatively cheap two hundred and fifty dollar off contract price tag and Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Start with the design it's constructed with plastic throughout the entire device, it's light weight, fits comfortably in the hands and you can access the power button and volume rocker with really no problems at all. There is a microSD card slot and SIM card slot on the left hand side. There is a 3.5mm jack up top and a micro USB charging port down below the bottom. The front is home to a 5-inch 720p IPS display with capacitive touch buttons below.

The back also does have a 13-megapixel camera sensor and flash with the ZTE logo  on the plastic back cover. The hardware overall isn't terrible but you know that the phone is made up of plastic and it does feel cheap and it doesn't give any sort of premium feel.

The reason why you should purchase this device is because of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor and the Android 5.0 Lollipop software. The Snapdragon 615 is a 64bit octacore processor and with 2Gigs of RAM. The only thing it's missing is the app drawer. This means all of your apps are placed on the home screens. Coming to the battery it is equipped with a 2400mAh non removable battery.

Gizmodo China has new details of the OnePlus Two, the sequel to the very cheap, but quality OnePlus One. The new phone will be slightly more expensive than the first smartphone. Of course, there is no exact prices, but something more than the current smartphone that has just increased the price from 299€ to 349€ on the 64GB model but still much cheaper than comparable high-end smartphones.

What is new?

The OnePlus Two will most likely come with the new Snapdragon 810, This is an octa-core SoC from Qualcomm. A fingerprint scanner is included along with laser-focus technology with user replaceable battery and with an SD card slot. As usual it comes with the capacitive navigation buttons.

We can expect to see the OnePlus Two by the end of third quarter.

It has a beautiful 5.7 inch HD display, Crystal clear for viewing and amazing for outdoor readability as well. It sorts a 13 megapixel Zeiss optics on the back with LED flash and it has a 5 megapixel front facing Camera with wide angle lens so it can fit all your friends or family in the selfie comfortably and great during video calls on  Skype. This device shops with the latest version of Windows denim update and it is upgradable to Windows 10 as well. The phone has a totally new camera user interface as the new denim update changed it. It comes with an office 365 subscription completely free for one year and a 1TB of space on one drive to save your documents, photos, videos and can be shared with your lover ones. The built-in skype application gives you 60 minutes of Skype calling free for one month.

This will be available in both 3G and LTE variants with single sim and dual sim versions. It has the amazing battery which comes in at 3000 mAh. Coming to the processor, It has a Qualcomm 1.2GHz Quadcore snapdragon with 1GB of RAM and 8GB onboard memory and can be extended upto 128GB through microSD slot. This will be available in the market in the end of April or early may.

First and foremost this is completely a new design. This is a completely different device constructed out of aluminium and glass. It feels really good.

Immediate reaction when seeing the galaxy S6 and S6 Edge for the first time exactly it looks familier. It's like some how the galaxy S5 got knocked out by IPhone 6. Now came the Galaxy different looking pro.

These are both equal full fledge flagship smart phones. Aside from the actual edges on the S6 Edge and a slightly larger battery everything is literally identical. As I mentioned before they both share the same screen but they both also share the same processors, 16MP rear camera, 3gigs of RAM and both are running lollypop. So really it comes down to whether or not you will take advantage of those edges. Where as in  Galaxy Note Edge you are limited to one side, but this has two sides. You can  actually choose which side you want to text to your contacts. The edges display the time. The advantage is it can reduce the power consumption. It is very similar to Moto X active display notifications. The edges can be colour coordinated with your contacts.

Display:

One hand ability is on point and Samsung bump up the resolution on S6 and S6 Edge without increasing the screen size. They both feature a 5.1 inch QuadHD Super Amoled display with a resolution of 2560×1440 which is the next step above 1080p. So as a result you get a crispier image in a same amount of real estate as  the galaxy S5 for example and a pixel density of 577 ppi (pixels per inch).

Battery and Memory:

The freedom to swap in and out the batteries and micro SD expansion are gone. The S6 Edge has a slightly larger  battery coming in at 2600mAh. Where as the standard S6 with 2550mAh. What I think is the slight bump in the  battery is  to compensate the actual edges in the Galaxy S6 Edge. Both come with the 3GB of RAM. The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge start at 32GB as the base model.

Camera:

As compared to S5 they upgraded the front facing camera from 2MP in S5 to 5MP in S6 and S6 Edge. They are also getting a lower aperture on both the cameras (front and back) at f1.9 and that's gonna improve the low light performance of both the cameras and a  blurred background look on a closeup shots. It also has the tracking autofocus with which it can lock the focus on a moving object.

The great iPhone 6 Plus

The new iPhone is coming with larger iPhone 6 Plus. Apple has two devices presented at this year's keynote. While the simple iPhone 6 model with 4.7-inch screen still belongs to the smartphone category, Apple engages now on the phablet market with the iPhone 6 Plus. At 5.5 inches, the iPhone 6 plus is almost a mini iPad with phone function and fits in with the trend of mega-smartphones. Was Apple's entry into the XXL-market is a wise step?

iPhone 6 Plus: Revised design

In terms of hardware, the iPhone 6 plus is impressive. Apple has revised the design language of its smartphone. Instead of hard edges, everything is now curvy - including the display edge. Thus, the iPhone 6 Plus approaches the design of the iPod touch and the iPad Air. The device is at just 7.1 millimeters thin so that the camera does not completely fit into the case: It projects slightly out from the back. Plus: Official photos of Apple's new smartphone

iPhone 6 Plus: More value for larger display

With the 5.5-inch display, the iPhone 6 Plus stands apart from its smaller siblings. The screen has a resolution of Full HD resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. With a contrast ratio of 1300: 1, the iPhone offers 6 Plus a good value. It is, however slightly lower than the 1400: 1 of the smaller iPhone 6. Nevertheless, the two new flagships do more than its predecessor. According to Apple's specifications the new Apple A8 processor offers up to 20 percent more performance. Also with improved battery life - iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be the iPhone with the best battery life despite larger displays and increased computing power.

iPhone 6 Plus: VoLTE

The new antenna supports up to 20 different LTE frequencies and enables faster browsing than ever before. With the new technique, known as VoLTE calls should be possible over LTE, which offer a much better voice quality than calls on the previous radio technology. Not just about surfing faster with the VoLTE. Also it is up to three times faster than its predecessors when connected to WiFi.

iPhone 6 Plus: Camera

It remains at a resolution of 8 megapixels, but with improved details. Thanks to the new image sensor with a faster focusing and an improved digital image stabilization. Here the 6 plus can score, because the iPhone 6 Plus has an optical image stabilization(OIS). iPhone 6 records video with up to 60 frames per second in Full HD. There is also a slow-motion function which when enabled adds up to 240 images per second. The front camera also has a new sensor and will capture up to 80 percent more light. In addition, Apple donated the "FaceTime Camera", a so-called burst function, with which it quickly takes many pictures one after the other - for example, for the perfect Selfie.

iPhone 6 Plus: NFC allows Apple Pay

By installing an NFC chip (Near Field Communication) one can use the iPhone as a mobile payment system.Apple has introduced for its own payment service called Pay Apple. In cooperation with a number of credit card and large companies such as Nike, Subway, McDonald's & Co. the NFC chip in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus enables cashless payments through a simple tap on the fingerprint sensor.

iPhone 6 Plus benefits

Especially lovers of games or movies should prefer the iPhone 6 Plus - because the 5.5 inches has more space for content. Also, the mobile work about the Office and writing e-mails can be done better on the larger display. In order to keep the usual pixel density, the iPhone offers 6 Plus a higher resolution, which the user will benefit around the movie experience.

Playwithtech-assessment: Apple iPhone 6 Plus

verdict: While 4.7 inches still appear handy, the iPhone can be described 6 Plus with 5.5-inch display as a real crusher. The design looks classy, ​​but the rear camera slightly irritated. The revised lens stands out a few millimeters from the casing. Overall, the iPhone 6 Plus is very good in the hand and is pleasantly light. The new storage option (128 gigabyte) is just the thing for music, video and photo junkies. NFC opens up the chance at cashless payments.

Apple meets the expectations for iPhone 6 and provides 4.7 inches display, a new processor and a fresh design.

iPhone 6: Slim, smart and fast

Technically, the two iPhone-6 models differ only in details, the main difference is the screen size. The iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch Retina touchscreen with a resolution of 1334x750 pixels, the iPhone 6 Plus brings it to a display size of 5.5 inches. Apple uses the brand new A8 processor, which provides up to 20 percent more power compared to its predecessor and with up to 50 percent more graphics. It can also measure the air pressure and so makes the iPhone into a mobile barometer.

iPhone 6: VoLTE and wireless ac

In terms of data transfer Apple puts up a gear and offers cutting-edge standards: The iPhone 6 VoLTE built in, that supports up to 20 different LTE frequencies and significantly better voice quality than was previously possible. Also Wi-Fi is the state of the art; Data transfers run up to three times faster than before.

»IPhone 6 Plus: All about the new Apple phablet

Apple sets the iPhone 6 to rounded edges and a sleek body.

iPhone 6: Camera

It remains at a resolution of 8 megapixels, but with improved details. Thanks to the new image sensor with a faster focusing and an improved digital image stabilization. Here the big brother can score, because the iPhone 6 Plus has an optical image stabilization. iPhone 6 records video with up to 60 frames per second in Full HD. There is also a slow-motion function which when enabled adds up to 240 images per second. The front camera also has a new sensor and will capture up to 80 percent more light. In addition, Apple donated the "FaceTime Camera", a so-called burst function, with which it quickly takes many pictures one after the other - for example, for the perfect Selfie.

iPhone 6: NFC allows Apple Pay

Another real cracker: With "Pay Apple" iPhone becomes a mobile wallet. Together with the built-in NFC chip payment transactions can be done by just holding the iPhone at this appropriate terminals. It takes less than three seconds.

Playwithtech-assessment: Apple iPhone 6

The design looks classy. The revised lens stands out a few millimeters from the casing. Overall, the iPhone 6 is very good in the hand and feels light in weight. Introduced NFC and a new storage option (128 gigabytes)

Conclusion:

It has a much larger screen, WLAN ac, LTE Cat 4 with 150 Mbps and detailed improvements in the camera - and finally NFC (mainly for payment). However, Apple has definitely missed the trend of the times: Even the new iPhone 6 is missing a waterproof housing. And the price is just too high.

These are new smartphones in the L series of the Korean manufacturer LG. The L Bello and L Fino want to rule the market under 200 euros.

L Bello and L Fino: Design

The appearance of both the devices inherit from flagship model LG G3 .The volume rocker and power switch on the back below the camera like the G3.

Technology in L Bello

The LG L Bello is the larger of the two: A display of 5 inches with a resolution of 854x480 the pixels are distributed generously. The Quad-core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz is enough for smooth operation of the latest Android 4.4.2. The 1-megapixel front camera is sufficient for video calling. The main camera is 8 megapixels. So far the LG cameras offered at least acceptable quality. It is not clear yet whether there will be a memory expansion via microSD card. The 2,540 mAh strong battery promises a long battery life.

Technology in L Fino

The small L Fino satisfied with a display size of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 800x480 pixels. With the 1.2 GHz processor, it provides almost the same liquid handling but cannot expect a high end gaming on this device. The device comes with a small memory of 4GB. Again, the question remains whether there will be a microSD card slot. The 8-megapixel camera will deliver respectable photos.

Alcatel One Touch is the Hero with a price of 350 euros which is not cheap - even the better known Samsung Note 3 Neo costs less. What can thus attract the Hero? For one shows off the upper class phablet with a sharp six-inch display, on the other hand the giant with high quality finish.

Design

The One Touch Hero feels classy: The frosted, slightly rubberized surface of the housing gives an impression of premium quality.

Top technology with a hook

The Hero delivers on the large six-inch display a remarkable Full HD(1080p) display. The display brightness (534 cd / m²) is sufficient for viewing in sunlight and when viewed from the side it distort the colors slightly. Thus, it radiates much brighter than the Samsung Galaxy S5 (437 cd / m²) and as bright as the iPhone 5S (543 cd / m²). Alcatel installed a brisk basically quad-core processor (MediaTek MT6589) clocked at 1.51 GHz with the PowerVR SGX544MP graphics card for smooth display even in demanding games.

Shortage of memory

The memory is not expandable, It has a 16 GB of fixed storage which is not sufficient for a modern smartphone in this price range. On the other hand with 2 GB of memory offers the Hero enough ways to use a lot of applications in parallel. The radio interface in which Alcatel remains cautious: no LTE, no WLAN ac, instead it uses the old accustomed UMTS with speed up to 42.2 Mbps and the current wireless n adapter. After all, the current Bluetooth version 4.0 is here and  the user can use two SIM cards simultaneously with the latest Android 4.2.2.

Pen instead of finger

Unfortunately, it is not the expensive solution of Wacom which is used in Samsung Galaxy Note 3. The Wacom technology detects through a magnetic field, if the pin is located above the display. This input is more accurate even without contact. The plastic chopsticks in Hero however only detects an input when the pen touches the screen.

Conclusion

Alcatel One Touch returns with a good smartphone at a high price. The display quality and long battery life, leave nothing to be desired. The included stylus brings no added value and LTE is missing. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo which houses a wacom digitizer is even cheaper than the Alcatel One Touch hero . As long as the sale price of the Galaxy Note is 3 Neo cheaper than the Hero, there is no reason to buy the Alcatel One Touch Hero.
