Xiaomi in its latest teaser has seemingly confirmed that there will be two new products revealed at its Thursday event.
The company shared a new teaser image on Facebook showing a couple of hands accompanied by an incomplete sentence, "_ is better than one." We expect the missing word is two in the sentence, which corroborates earlier leaks, and we can expect the successor to the Xiaomi Mi 4, the Mi 5, to launch alongside the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 at the event.
For specifications, the Mi 5 (also referred to as Mi 4S) smartphone is said to feature a 5.7-inch Quad-HD (1440x2560 pixels) display; a 64-bit Snapdragon 810 processor; 3GB of RAM, and a 20.7-megapixel rear camera. The most recent leaks (yesterdays benchmark leak) however, list a Snapdragon 801 processor.

The successor to the Xiaomi Redmi Note, on the other hand, is expected to feature a 5.7-inch full-HD display with a 2.5D glass screen; ab64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 (MSM8939) octa-core processor; 2GB of RAM; 16GB/32GB storage variants; a 13-megapixel rear camera; a 5-megapixel front camera; MIUI 6 based on Android 4.4 KitKat; dual-SIM support (Micro-SIMs), and a 3600mAh battery.

Late on Tuesday, a Chinese publication posted a bunch of images purportedly showing the alleged Mi 5 smartphone. In the leaked images, the Mi 5 was seen running a benchmark app, thought to be AnTuTu, showing a test score of the smartphone.

Oppo, expanding its R1 smartphone series, has unveiled the Oppo R1C in China. The smartphone is a refreshed version of the Oppo R1S, and features some updated specifications.

Set to start shipping on January 20, the Oppo R1S is priced at CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 25,000). Availability details of the smartphone outside China are not yet known. Interested users can pre-order it from the company's online store.

The Android 4.4 KitKat-based Oppo R1C shares some specifications with the R1S, including a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display, 16GB of inbuilt storage, 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. However, the RIC additionally features a sapphire glass panel and 4G connectivity.
the dual-SIM handset is powered by a 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor clocked at 1.5GHz coupled with 2GB of RAM, in contrast to the R1S' 1.6GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC with 1GB of RAM. With the support for expandable storage via microSD card (up to 128GB), the Oppo R1C's 13-megapixel rear camera uses a Sony IMX214 sensor with an f/2.0 aperture lens instead of the CMOS sensor in R1S. The battery capacity has also been slightly bumped from 2410mAh to 2420mAh. The device is 6.8mm thick.


Lately Oppo has made its mark in the smartphone market by launching its Oppo R5, which is currently the second slimmest handset in the world with 4.85mm thickness after the Vivo X5Max (4.75mm). The smartphone was launched in India last month at Rs. 29,990. The smartphone includes the same processor and camera specifications seen in the Oppo R1C.

The newly  Nokia 215 is perfect for both first-time mobile phone buyers and those wanting a second phone.

1. The Nokia 215 is Internet-ready

As an entry-level phone you may think that the Nokia 215 doesn’t have any Internet capabilities. But it does.

That means that you can browse the Web using Bing Search or Opera Mini Browser, monitor the weather using the MSN Weather app, connect with your friends on the preinstalled Facebook and Messenger apps, and check out millions upon millions of tweets via Twitter.

2. Ready and charged when you need it

If you require a phone to stay charged for days at a time, the Nokia 215 Single SIM can last up to 29 days (almost a month) and the Nokia 215 Dual SIM can keep going for up to 21 days (three weeks). Imagine only charging your phone once a month!

3. One phone, two SIMs

Speaking of Dual SIM, the Nokia 215 Dual SIM variant means that if you have two SIM cards, you only need to carry one phone with you.

Why may you need two SIMs? Perhaps you use one for work purposes and the other for your personal line. Or, you have SIM for you and the other is for another member of your family. It all depends on your circumstances and needs.

4. Non-stop music

If you’re into music, the Nokia 215 includes an FM radio that you can play for up to 45 hours. That’s almost two days!

If you prefer to have more control over your tunes, the built-in MP3 player provides up to 50 hours of playback.

Do you know how many songs you can play in 50 hours? Well, if the average song is roughly 3 minutes long, you’d be able to listen to 1,000 songs in 50 hours.

5. Memory

Where can you store all those songs that you’re going to listen to hour after hour? The Nokia 215 has a MicroSD slot with support of up to 32 GB, that’s where.

6. Light up the night

Whether you’re searching for the door keys in your bag after a night out, trying to find the right path home in the middle of nowhere, or simply trying to read a book after a power outage, the Nokia 215’s handy built-in torch makes doing all of those things, and more, easier.

7. Designed to last

Like all of our previous (and future, of course) phones, the Nokia 215 is built to last.

Not only does the bright green, white, and black polycarbonate shell retain its color when scratched, the phone’s soft rubber keys are hardy and easy to use. The 215 simply feels great in the palm of your hand.

8. Simple sharing

Sharing is an important part of everyday life, and the Nokia 215 makes it easy to send content such as photos or contacts via Bluetooth 3.0 thanks to SLAM technology.

Just bring the two phones together to send or receive files.

9. Say cheese!

Even at the entry level, it’s possible to have a camera phone.

Take photos or record video of your friends, family, pets, landscapes, or absolutely anything else you can think of.

10. All of this for an affordable price

The Nokia 215 will cost just $29 before taxes and subsidies when it goes on sale, rolling out first in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe in the first quarter of 2015.

What’s your favorite feature of the Nokia 215?
