ZOPO Speed 8 is the first deca-core Android smartphone, launched at MWC 2016


ZOPO is not a particularly famous Chinese gadget manufacturer – not like its more illustrious neighbors Huawei, ZTE, and Xiaomi. But the name is certainly remembered by those who know hardcore Android trivia – Zopo is the manufacturer who officially ushered us into the octa-core age back in November 2013, the company putting out the ZP998 almost 3 years ago. Now they’re back to give us another milestone in Android history – launching the ZOPO Speed 8 smartphone, the first Android device in the market with a deca-core processor.

Line ‘em up and count them all, 10 cores on that beast of a processor, the MediaTek Helio X20. That is the chipset you will find on the ZOPO Speed 8, which was launched by speedster and brand ambassador Jorge Lorenzo, 3-time MotoGP champion. The rest of the specs are top-of-the-line, but certainly not as leading edge as the chipset. We have a 5.5-inch FullHD (1080p) display up front and a generous 4GB RAM in support of the processor.

The ZOPO Speed 8 features a dual SIM configuration, quite popular in Asia and Europe, and offers 4G LTE connectivity. Internal storage is at 32GB and the battery is quite large in capacity at 3,600mAh. We still don’t know what the deca-core processor will demand of the battery, so it’s probably good that they put a good capacity in there to be sure. Everything will run under Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The new phone features a great 21MP Sony IMX230 camera sensor with dual tone LED flash and an 8MP selfie shooter. There’s a round fingerprint scanner at the back quite similar to Huawei’s Nexus 6P, and the USB connection/charger port is the new USB Type C variety. There has been no information yet on availability and pricing.

At an event in China, LeEco has launched not one, but three new smartphones. Called Le 2, Le 2 Pro and Le Max 2, all three smartphones come with metal unibody design, thin bezels on the front and a fingerprint scanner for added security. One of the talking points of these smartphones is the USB Type-C Audio port. While there have been leaked reports that Apple iPhone 7 would skip the 3.5mm audio port, LeEco has already done this with its new smartphones. LeEco also announced that these smartphones will feature CDLA (Continual Digital Loseless Audio) technology to offer high-quality uncompressed audio. LeEco Le 2 specifications and features:  It flaunts a 5.5-inch full HD (1080p) display and is powered by MediaTek’s Helio X20 tri-cluster deca-core processor paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage.

Oppo F1 Plus review: More than just a selfie smartphone

Image
In January 2016 Oppo had announced that it would be launching its series of F series smartphones that focussed on the camera. Soon we heard about the F1, and then we reviewed it. It garnered a bit of interest, but it brought nothing new to the smartphone space (including its own lineup), apart from the 8MP front-facing sensor. Clearly, it just was not enough. But Oppo still had a another smartphone up its sleeve and this one indeed seemed to be the revamp that many were looking forward to. Why? Well, this is because it was to be the smartphone, that would pack in at least some of the impressive innovations that the company showcased at the MWC 2016 held at Barcelona. Impressive components (fingerprint reader, Super Fast VOOC charging etc.) that are also expected to appear in smartphones made by other manufacturers in the industry. Oddly, none of those components made it to the Oppo F1 Plus, but as we reviewed the smartphone, we did discover plenty of improvements and
