Meizu m1 note 2 image shows a relocated Power button

Posted on by

The Meizu m1 note is still a fairly fresh device, but rumors of its successor are already heating up. The new phablet will supposedly be called "m1 note 2" instead of "m2." Anyway, the latest looks like an official promo that shows off the back of the device.

The overall design of the plastic unibody seems unchanged, though notice how the Power button is now below the volume rocker. The current model puts the Power button all the way on top, not the best placement considering the m1 note is a 5.5" device.

Some suggest that this is just a version of the m1 instead of a completely new device. Rumors so far promise a 5.5" 1080p screen and a pass on the rumored fingerprint sensor. It's not entirely clear what Meizu will be showing off at the alleged June 2 announcement, but the scarcity of rumors about new features lend credibility to the "only a version" theory.

iPhone 6s camera rumored to use a 12MP RGBW sensor from Sony

Posted on by

Yet another source has chimed in, saying that the Apple iPhone 6s will pack a 12MP camera. The info by the way of a Chinese news site quoting Japanese media and claims that the sensor will switch from the traditional RGB sensor design to RGBW.

The White sub-pixel aims to improve the low-light performance of the camera. There's also a suggestion that autofocus speed will be increased without any details on how (phase detection, perhaps?). The sensor will reportedly be made by Sony.

The source pours some cold water on rumors that Apple will switch to a dual-camera system, but the dual-tone flash is here to stay.

Posted on by

In a week highlighted by the announcement of the Oppo R7 and R7 Plus duo, our traditional Top 10 trending chart sees mostly the same players at the top with a few popular models returning in the lower half of the table.

The Top 10 trending phones chart is a recap list of the devices that gathered the most hits throughout the week. In other words, the chart represents the interests of the majority of you, our visitors.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 continues its victorious march for yet another week, a comfortable distance ahead of the competition. In second spot, the Galaxy Grand Prime replaces the Yu Yuphoria and the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML is in a very close third.

A considerable margin behind, the Apple iPhone 6 follows in fourth, its best achievement in quite a while. We find typical strong contenders Galaxy A5 and Galaxy S5 in fifth and sixth spot, respectively. Last week's runner up Yuphoria drops all down to seventh position.

The rest of this week's favorites are well known, but forgotten past entrants, divided marginally by a few hundred hits. The Lenovo A7000 returns at eight, followed closely by the Galaxy E7 and Galaxy Note 4.
