HTC Desire 620 in the works, Taiwan’s NCC reveals

The NCC is Taiwan’s equivalent of the USA’s FCC, and its documents have revealed a new smartphone that is currently in the works: the HTC Desire 620. Not one, but two versions of this yet unheard of upcoming handset have been certified by the NCC. The Desire 620h will top out at 3G (HSPA) networks, while the Desire 620u will support 4G LTE. Both models will have dual-SIM functionality built-in, and that unfortunately is everything we know about the Desire 620 right now. Given its name, however, we can speculate that it shall act as a successor to the Desire 610 (pictured above), which was unveiled in early 2014. It could also serve the same role for the Desire 616, but that has only arrived on the market in June, and it would be a bit early for a refresh. It’s unclear if we’ll see the new Desire 620 across […]

Tizen-running dual-SIM Samsung phone spotted at the FCC

Samsung’s been theoretically launching Tizen smartphones left and right for years. Actually though, we’ve yet to see one shipping product running the mobile OS that was once seriously thought to be able to take on Android. For the umpteenth time, we might be close to the release of the first Samsung Tizen device. This won’t be high-end like the “indefinitely delayed” Samsung Z, rather a low-end offering that might be headed to India as soon as next month. The SM-Z130H model number was first spotted in a few import listings for accessories on an Indian tracker back in July. And now it’s been certified for sale by the FCC. The Commission’s documents don’t shine much light on the phone’s specs, except that it will have dual-SIM support, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. According to a different import listing from India, it will come with a 4-inch touchscreen. As such a low-end device, […]

Xiaomi Mi 4 and Mi Pad getting price cuts

It seems that Xiaomi has reconsidered the prices of its Xiaomi Mi 4 flagship smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi Pad and the Xiaomi TV. Tmall, an online storefront of Xiaomi, has put question marks in the prices of those three, Xiaomi headphones and a battery pack. Finally the MiBox has already been discounted. The Xiaomi Mi 4 was priced CNY 1,999 ($325), but that coincides with higher-specced Meizu MX4, Oppo Find 7 and IUNI U3, the three of which have bigger, higher-res screens. There are sources who claim that a 7 is hiding behind the question mark which would put the new price at CNY 1,799 ($294). The Tegra K1-packing, iPad mini lookalike tablet, the Xiaomi Mi Pad, was priced at the same CNY 1,999 point but it’s not clear how much its price will drop (perhaps a similar CNY 1,799 target). The Xiaomi Mi Box was already knocked down from […]

We are looking at a low cost phone with 5″ screen that will be called HTC Desire 820 mini.

Meizu MX4 with glossy white back cover shows up

A couple of new photos reveal that Meizu is working to release a glossy white version of the Meizu MX4. According to GizChina a gold back cover is also planned to launch soon. The Meizu MX4 is by far the most premium-looking smartphone the company has ever made. Part of the good looks of the phone is its metal frame, part is because of the matte back finish. As you’ve probably read in our hands-on of the phone, we quite like the feel of the phone. A glossy back cover will certainly bring back the vibe of the old generations Meizu MX. In the photo below you can see the differences between the glossy and matte white back covers. But if you want something bigger than the Meizu MX4, the company is working hard on a larger version to make you happy. The Mezixu MX4 Pro leaked yesterday in black […]
