The Top 10 trending phones of week 20

Posted on by

Another week has passed and it's time for our usual Top 10 trending chart. The Galaxy S6 remains in the lead, but tough times are coming for the Samsung flagship.

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, and is an indication of what currently interests you.

The Yu Yuphoria, which was announced merely days ago, quickly powered up to second position, a dangerously slim 10K hits behind the Galaxy S6. Meanwhile the Galaxy Grand Prime seems glued to the third spot, and we've lost count how many times we found it there.

The Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML has climbed a spot over last week's fifth, after briefly holding the second position two weeks ago. The Apple iPhone 6 has moved up a few notches and is behind the Zenfone 2, but by a significant margin.

A few of the regular Samsung entrants follow, joined somewhat unexpectedly by the aging Galaxy S4. Interestingly, despite being the hottest flagship right now, the LG G4 hasn't managed to stay in the top of the chart, and has slipped into tenth spot in the third week of its run.

Huawei rumoured to be developing its own mobile OS

Posted on by

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei is developing its own mobile operating system to reduce its dependence on Google's Android, according to a report out of China. The OS has been in development for the past three years.

As per the report, the company – which according to market research firm IDC's latest report is the third largest smartphone vendor in China – is also working on a new smartphone that would run the OS.

This comes at a time when Huawei is set to enter the US market – it has sent out press invites for an event in New York City next month, on June 2. The company is also said to be chosen by Google as one of the makers of the next Nexus…

Samsung to release another Edge model before the next Note Edge?

Posted on by

Samsung was faced with unexpectedly high demand for the Galaxy S6 edge which lead to the opening of another edge display factory ahead of schedule. The market's warm reception of the handset has allegedly inspired ideas for further expansion of the edge-screened range.

A report in Korean media claims that the company may be working on a new device, which will precede the Galaxy Note Edge's successor, or Project Zen as it is currently dubbed. So far it has been assumed that the sequel to the company's pioneering curved screen device is set to be announced this fall, alongside a vanilla Galaxy Note 5.

Project Zen is tipped to come with a dual-edge display around the 5.5-inch mark, S Pen and an inferior chipset. Then the inevitable question must be asked, if there will be enough room between it and the Galaxy S6 edge for yet another smartphone with such a screen.

Bear in mind that this mysterious new device is yet nothing more than a rumor though, with no material evidence to support it so far.

ZTE to debut Nubia exclusively on Amazon in India

Posted on by

Last month Huawei introduced couple of new smartphones under the Honor brand in India. Following that, ZTE also announced it's bringing its Nubia brand in India on May 19. While the formal launch is barely few days away, the company has confirmed of inking a deal to keep Nubia exclusive on Amazon in India and also shared a new landing page for it – http://www.amazon.in/nubia.

To publicize its entry, the company has also released a promotional video which also hits the Nubia India site link.

The invite for the launch has already been sent out to the media houses. As per our estimate, Nubia will introduce the Z9 mini for the Indian audience next week, which makes more sense rather than introducing year-old models. Later this year Nubia might also choose to bring the entire Z9 line, which also includes the Z9 and the Z9…
