Oppo R1 New Photos Leaked

Chinese mobile phone maker Oppo has been rumored lately to plan the launch of a new Android-based smartphone called Oppo R1, and some more leaked photos with the device are now available for your viewing pleasure.

The new handset is expected to be launched in China as a mid-range device, though it should be able to provide users with a premium feel. Furthermore, the next handset in the Oppo R-series is said to feature a better camera, which should allow it to stand out in the crowd. For those out of the loop, we should note that the Oppo R1 is rumored to land on shelves with an 8-megapixel camera on the back, with an f2.0 aperture. Basically, this is the same camera that was packed inside the flagship Meizu MX3 smartphone recently, GizChina reports. At the same time, the upcoming Oppo R1 should arrive on shelves with an all-glass construction, as well as with an anti-fingerprint coating, which should keep its body clean even when heavily used.

The same as other R-series smartphones from Oppo, the forthcoming handset is expected to be powered by a Mediatek processor. It will sport a quad-core MT6589 CPU, it seems. The specifications list of the new mobile phone also includes support for two SIM cards at the same time, along with micro SD memory card slot for expansion purposes. The handset hasn’t been officially confirmed as of now, but rumor has it that it will be launched before the end of this year. Furthermore, it is expected to cost around 2,000 Yuan ($329/€239) when made available.

The same as other Oppo smartphones, the new device will be powered by Google’s Android operating system, but no specific info on the actual version of the platform has been provided as of now. Keep an eye on this space for additional details on the matter.

Huawei Honor 3C Leaks in Official Images

Chinese mobile phone maker Huawei is expected to make official in the not too distant future a new set of smartphones, with one of them said to be the Huawei Honor 3C, which can be seen in newly leaked official images.

The handset made it online before, and the new photos with it, available courtesy of Weibo, unveil some more details on the specifications that it will feature when launched. However, as GizChina reports, the info that can be extracted from these images is a bit different than what the phone was previously expected to include. The upcoming Huawei Honor 3C is currently said to sport a 5-inch touchscreen display that will be able to deliver a 720p resolution, though it was previously said to pack only a 4.7-inch screen. At the same time, the leaked info unveils that Huawei will pack the new mobile phone with a 1.3Ghz quad-core MT6582 processor inside, and not with the MT6588 CPU, as previously rumored. Even so, it appears that the yet unannounced smartphone will still be able to deliver appealing performance levels.

According to one of the leaked images, the smartphone could score around 17,000 points in AnTuTu, which would make it a great competitor for the Zopo ZP700, especially given its higher resolution display. Huawei Honor 3C is also said to arrive on shelves with an 8-megapixel camera on the back, with f2.0 aperture. The sensor comes from Sony and is similar to the one packed inside Meizu MX3. Furthermore, it will be paired with a 5-megapixel camera from Samsung, with f2.4 aperture, offering a great experience when it comes to video calling while on the go. It still remains to be seen whether these rumored specs for Huawei Honor 3C will indeed pan out or not, so keep an eye on this space for additional details on the matter.
