Oukitel U8, Mlais MX Base on limited discounted sale

Oukitel’s first phone that really caught our attention, the U8, is now on a discounted sale.

The U8 is a decent device with a metallic build and a fingerprint sensor. What differentiates the U8’s fingerprint sensor from the rest is that the fingerprint sensor on the rear doesn’t require you to first wake the phone to unlock it. Essentially, all you have to do to unlock the phone using the fingerprint sensor is put your finger on the sensor.

Mlais release details of another device! Enter the 4800mAh Mlais MX

Mlais have grabbed our attention with the M52, and the upcoming M7, however another Mlais device lurks in the shadows too! The 4800mAh Mlais MX.

It is our understanding that the Mlias M7 and Mlais MX will launch at around the same time sometime next week along with another product (possibly and accessory). We’ve covered the M7 a here, but the Mlais MX is something new.

The render above shows a 5-inch smartphone running Android 5.0 Lollipop with a very large 4800mAh battery. That’s enough juice for the MX to be used as a powerbank for other devices.

Mlais have also sent over photos of the chassis of the MX, made of Magnesium for light-weight and excellent cooling properties.

Specifications for the Mlias MX should be announced in the coming days, but if we were to hazard a guess we expect the phone to sport a MT6732 chipset and around 2GB RAM.

New Pictures of Mlais M4 Note emerges in the web

The Mlais M4 Note has made his first appearance a while ago. Currently on pre-sales, new images of upcoming device from Mlais, surfaced on the Internet through a company profile on Instagram.

With a Design that clearly resembles the Galaxy Note 4, the Mlais M4 Note has his virtues among the thousand others devices, or even knock-offs, inspired in the phablet. With decent specs and a good construction the phone turns in a very respectful choice for the price.

Through a profile of Mlais on Instagram, we found some pictures which give us a good look on the phones final design. This time with a unit in full black color as Mlais describe it:

The Mlais M4 Note carries the MT6732 64-bit 1.5Ghz Quadcore, along with that we find 2GB of Ram and 16GB on-board storage. The camera listed specs are a 13MP unit on the rear and 8MP on the front, on display of 5.5-inches 720p unit powered by a battery of 2400mAh.

The listed specifications in fact do not show a big difference among the competitors in the same price range, and even the Mlais has a good example of device with higher specs in the same price range, the M52 Red Note. However the major difference presented and possibly greater justification in the handset is its construction, that includes materials like metal on frame and buttons, which have even the tactile finish in volume buttons.

Mlais M52 Lollipop OTA rolls out, hands on video

It’s a few days late but Mlais have come through with the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Mlais M52, but before you go ahead and make the switch you might want to check out the details.

Just as OnePlus were late with their latest OTA update, so were new kids on the block Mlais. The original launch date for Lollipop was the 10th of April, then the 15th and now finally today the 17th. The reason for the delay is unclear, but the OTA is here but you might want to put off the update for a while.

We installed the OTA this morning on our review M52. The first issue we had was a constant reboot but removing the battery solved this (not really the correct or safe method to fix it but it worked for us). Once installed the M52 booted up directly into Lollipop and it all looks good with the nice fresh Lollipop UI and animations.

Mlais M4 Note with MT6732, Android Lollipop now on pre-sale

Mlais’ M52 Red Note may be the hottest device in their facilities at the moment, but the company seems to have on offer something with a bit of a twist, i.e., the M4 Note.

While the Red Note goes after the… (no points for guessing) Redmi Note design, the M4 Note takes inspiration from the Galaxy Note 4. Nonetheless, the device does have some decent specs on offer, topped by the quad-core 64-bit MediaTek MT6732 SoC.

Along with that, there’s 2GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board storage and a 13 mega-pixel / 8 mega-pixel camera department. According to the listing on Gearbest, the phone will have a 2400mAh battery, which is a bit of a disappointment; 3000+mAh would’ve been more like it on a 5.5-inch 720p phone.

Among the highlights of the phone is the fact that it comes with Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box, a feat not many Chinese phones (unfortunately) seem to be successful in achieving.
