Asus Zenfone 5 Lite A502CG - Mighty Lite

Asus just announced the Lite version of its best selling Zenfone 5.




The new Lite version looks like the original so you will still have that premium executive chrome as well as sexy curvature. Though it must be noted that Asus had cut back on color options with only Black, White and Red.



As it is to say a cut-down version, Zenfone 5 Lite still has 5 inch IPS TruVivid Laminated Display but it resolution is down to qHD and Intel Inside with Atom™ Z2520 Dual-Core Processor clocked 1.2 GHz coupled with only 1GB RAM. No storage is listed on Asus Philippines website but with reference to what is available in India then presumably 8GB with MicroSD Expansion up to 64GB and comes with 5GB free lifetime ASUS WebStorage.



Primary rear camera stays at 8MP supported LED Flash however with its front it only has VGA to work with. You do have PixelMaster technology that gives you various modes and options to take your shots and videos to the next level.



The rich and simple ZenUI is another thing to consider that works well together with Android KitKat adding other value-added touches and features.

For connectivity, it packs the same as the original Zenfone 5 that comes with its Dual "Zentenna" for more reliable connections. Higher bandwidth data connection with up to 42Mbps (downloads) DC-HSPA+. Standard things as WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. Supports Dual SIM/Standby so more network choices in one device.

The major thing that Asus improved with its Zenfone 5 Lite is the battery upgrade to 2500mAh versus 2110mAh on the first Zenfone 5. Together with the modest cuts, the Lite version will last more hours of usage so more fun, moments, and phone calls.

To conclude, Zenfone 5 Lite is a great follow through with the success of Asus Mobile division. Asus took the positives of Zenfone design, hardware and software and improved battery life. It might be lite but still it proves to be a mighty champion. Hopefully price competitively. Perfect timing for Chirstmas.

LG F70 - Budget Android KitKat, LTE and Big Battery

Look what I stumbled on, LG F70 LTE for as low as 6,490 Pesos!!!



LG most affordable LTE handset with Android 4.4.1 KitKat on board on a modest 4.5 inch WVGA IPS Display. Humble as it seems it is still powered by a reliable 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 MSM8926 coupled with 1GB RAM. Still need to verify if 4GB or 8GB internal storage variant basing on Australia and Singapore neighbors points to 4GB.



For its camera, it features a basic 5MP primary rear camera supported by single LED Flash and for its front, VGA. Expect decent shots and quality videos but it depends on your photographic eye after all in the end.

On the flip side, LG F70 offers wide range of connectivity features other than Long-Term Evolution data but also the standarrd WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS including NFC.



With its basic specifications and Snapdragon processor, it should perform at optimal level with 2440mAh battery.

Other unique software enhancements and features like Knock Code Security and Plu and Pop is available.

Overall, for an entry level LTE smartphone its hardware - low resolution IPS display, Snapdragon 400 and big energy pack works harmoniously to provide balance smartphone experience.

Huawei Ascend Mate 7 - Battery Smartphone King?

Villman just announced that they are taking pre-orders for Huawei Ascend Mate 7.


This monster of a smartphone from its huge 6 inch FHD In-Cell LTPS Display boasting 83% Screen-to-Body Resolution with only 2.9mm bezel. On the looks side it does resembles HTC One Max with its matte metal finish, curvature and accentual lines including the placement of camera and fingerprint sensor.

For its internals, powering the device is Hisilicon Kirin 925 Octa-Core Processor with Mali-T628 Graphic Card. With Villman, it has the 3GB RAM and 32GB Phone Storage variant.

Employs a 13MP Back camera f/2.0 aperture 5-piece aspherical lens and 4th Gen Sony BSI sensor supported with LED Flash as well as 5MP front camera that will sure produce improved output in pictures or videos even in low light.



Below the camera is a fingerprint scanner with one-touch unlock no need other buttons to press.

For connectivity, fast LTE data is supported well if your network won't limit you that is. You do have WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. MicroUSB port for charging and pc syncing.



On the software side, it runs on Android KitKat with the new EMUI 3.0 on top. It embraces soft button icons of Android Lolipop. Some of you might not be familiar, it is like iOS where the absence of App Drawer with all apps and widgets are on the homescreen. You have Themes and be able to download online to customized the overall look from homescreen, lockscreen, icons, wallpaper and sounds. If you want quick and easy, Simple UI is best for easy breezy simple-to-use interface. A security app that controls permissions including other from network firewall and spam calls and messages.



Moving to Ascend Mate 7, most prominent feature which is its 4100mAh battery that last for 2 days on moderate use of course but is a rare feat in the realm of smartphone industry. It should last more with Power-Saving app on board with modes that depends on your usage and if your running low and need for just call and emergencies then Ultra-Power saving mode will surely save you. Oh if you are wonder, it supports ultra fast charging.

I have the old orginal Ascend Mate and believe battery life is just incomparable. With the Ascend Mate 7 good becomes better with better display, high powered cpu, upgraded camera but one complaint is that Huawei is poor in terms of software and updates. The Ascend Mate 7 is a powerhouse nevertheless because it last longer than other devices in the market.

Priced at 27,888 Pesos. If you are on HSBC then you can get it on installment basis. So what you waiting for Pre-Order if you want! Look Here

Found the Ascend Mate 7 32GB 3GB RAM at Lazada Philippines at 27,890.
