Another New Blackberry Android Device DTEK60 Coming Soon

BlackBerry released the DTEK50 last month, it was the company's second Android phone after the Priv.
We heard several rumors suggesting that the company would be focusing on launching more Android devices, possibly one every three months for the next six months.

This might be true seeing that a new Blackberry Android phone, the Blackberry DTEK60, just passed through the FCC. The FCC filing doesn’t give us much details, but it confirms the phone’s existence.

BlackBerry leaked the phone’s specs on their website earlier this week. If these specs are correct, the DTEK60 will be a lot better than the DTEK50.

According to the Leaked specs, the Blackberry DTEK60 might have:

1. a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor
2. 4GB of RAM
3. A 5.5-inch QHD screen
4. 21-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front-facing camera
5. 3000mAh Battery with Quick Charge 3.0
6. Fingerprint sensor
7. USB Type-C

Also, the blackberry DTEK60 won’t be coming with Blackberry's iconic physical keyboard...Sorry.

The Blackberry DTEK60 is reportedly launching on October 11th with a price tag of $530.

Meet The Infinix Note2 Look Alike

The Infinix Note 2 is without doubt one of the most anticipated devices of this year. It was officially launched last month but up till now it has not really been available for sale.

I was recently going through gearbest with no intent of buying anything, just window shopping then I saw a phone 'LeTv One X600' and I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance between the device and the newly launched Infinix Note 2.

The devices looked so alike that I had to check the specs of the LeTv One x600 to make sure that it wasn't the Infinix Note2 x600 because it even had the same model name 'X600'.

Letv One x600 Specs

Display: 5.5 inch IPS FHD Screen
CPU: MTK helio X10 64bit Octa Core 2.0GHz
GPU: Imagination PowerVR G6200
System: Android 5.0
RAM + ROM: 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM
Camera: 5.0MP + 90° wide-angle camera, 13.0MP AF face beauty with true flash light camera
Bluetooth: 4.0
GPS: GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS
Features: Gyroscope,Infrared Remote Control, Electronic Compass
Sensor: Light sensor, G-sensor, P-sensor, Hall Sensor, Proximity sensor
SIM Card: Dual SIM dual standby, MICRO SIM
Network:
2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G: FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz

After seeing the specs of the LeTv One x600 it's obvious that it is an entirely different phone so that means there was a copy in design and name, so who did the copying? Infinix or Letv?

Infinix Zero 3 Rumored Specs: 3GB RAM And 20.7MP Camera

It's no news that Infinix has been targeting the middle end to lower end part of the smartphone market but it would appear they are turning it up a notch and going High end on the Infinix Zero 3.

According to a reliable source(Mehn..I've always wanted to say that), the Infinix Zero 3 would be coming with a double sided explosion-proof glass and a stainless steel frame.
It's going to be slimmer and lighter than its 'brother' Zero 2 that would make it very slim and very light because the Zero 2 is so light and so slim, let's see shaa.

It's also going to come with a bigger 5.5inch Full HD screen with a 400ppi protected by a tough corning gorilla glass 3.

And the camera, this is the best part....
The Infinix Zero 3 comes with a 20.7MP back camera with SONY IMX260 cmos Sensor, a dual LED flash and a 5MP front camera for selfies.

Note that huge pixel sizes of a phone's camera does not guarantee good picture quality. 

The Infinix Zero 3 is said to run a 64bit MediaTek Helio X10 Octa-core processor clocked at 2.20GHz.

It is also said to have an impressive RAM size of 3GB.
There was a major upgrade in the battery as the Infinix Zero 3 rocks a 3030mah non-removable battery compared to the 2600mah battery of the Zero 2 and also the Infinix Zero 3 supports fast charge, a feature which was left out of the Infinix Zero 2.

And to round it all up, there are rumours that the device would be water resistant but it's not confirmed yet.

The Infinix Zero 3 has a benchmark score of 44245 on Antutu.

As for the price of the zero 3,nothing has been said but I suspect it should be above 40k, judging by the specs this is a high end device so it's only natural that it has a high price.

Infinix Zero 3 Incoming - Are You Ready?

If this was a battle of consistency, Infinix probably already won the game, releasing a new device almost every month.
Just this year alone, we've had;

• Infinix Hot Note (Jan 2015)
• Infinix Zero 2 (June 2015)
• Infinix Hot 2 (August 2015)
• And the recently launched Infinix Note2(November 2015)

At the moment, there are no official specifications or photos of the coming Infinix Zero 3 device so all we have to do is wait.

Photos And Leaked Specs Of Tecno L5 With Massive 5000mah Battery

Tecno L5 is the newest addition to the L series and just like its predecessors(tecno L6 and L7) it also has a massive battery and to make it even better, it comes with an OTG cable meaning it can charge other devices as well, which I think is very cool.

Tecno is currently focusing more on showing off the massive battery life of the tecno l5 than it is on releasing the specifications of the device. They recently selected two winners to experiment and test out the massive battery life of the tecno l5 on a three-day trip without charge and according to the testers the tecno l5 battery didn't disappoint.

Below are photos and some of the main specifications of the tecno L5;

Tecno L5 Specs

Display - 4.5" IPS
Battery - Non-removable 5000mah
Memory -

• RAM - 1GB
• ROM(internal memory) - 8GB

Camera -

• Front - 2MP
• Back - 5MP

Android OS - Lollipop 5.1

There is currently no official statement regarding the release date and price of the Tecno L5 but its safe to assume that the device would be available for sale before the end of the year and would fall within the price range of between N15,000 - N20,000.

Blackberry Android device 'VENICE' May Have A New Name

Few months ago, we heard news of an Android-powered Blackberry device that was set to drop. It started out as mere rumors but as time went on it started to look realistic as Leaked images and Leaked specs of the device started surfacing.

During the early stages, we called it the Blackberry Slider then later we got the codename Venice, but the real official name remained a mystery UNTIL NOW!

Samsung Bashes Apple in New TV commercial

This Rivalry between Samsung and Apple is becoming unending, just last week I wrote a post describing how Samsung Attacked Apple iPhone 6 for it's lack of support for Wireless Charging, we all thought that was the end however we can't be more wrong because it seems they're just getting started!

Early this month, Samsung kicked off its TV ad campaign tagged "It's not a phone, it's a Galaxy" which sounds somewhat similar to Apple's previous campaign If it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone". The campaign is intended to showcase key features of "Top-of-the-line" Samsung devices but now it seems to be taking a new turn because all the ads seem to be targeted at degrading the iPhone, last week an ad Showing off the Wireless Charging feature was released, the video showed the Samsung S6, Samsung S6 edge and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 charging through a wireless charging pad and in between, an iPhone was shown also trying to charge off the charging pad but sadly it couldn't :(

Now, another video has been released and this is no different, this edition of the "It's not a phone, it's a Galaxy" campaign showcases the new Samsung Pay which is Samsung's answer to Apple Pay.

Samsung pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet by Samsung, that allows users to make payments with their compatible Samsung devices. Samsung pay unlike Apple pay works in almost every retail store and does not require an NFC-enabled POS and that's what Samsung is trying to tell us.

In today's video, users of "Top-of-the-line" Samsung devices were shown making payments at the mall and as usual, an iPhone user also tried it and I think We all know what the outcome of that would be.

Watch the video below and share your thoughts.

The Rivalry Continues: Samsung Throws Shade At Apple

Over the years there's been a lot of dissing between this two companies as they keep releasing ads and making remarks intended to degrade the other. Around this time last year Samsung ran a campaign where they sticked posters around wall-sockets at airports, the posters read Samsung Galaxy S5 with Ultra Power Saving Mode. So you can be anywhere but here.

How To Easily Root Infinix Hot 2 X510 without PC

Infinix Hot 2 is Google's first Android one device in Africa, it runs on Stock Android instead of Infinix's customized XUI.
I've seen a lot of people complain that the Infinix Hot 2 is really hard to root, initially I believed this until last week when I got a new Infinix Hot 2 and while I was playing around with it I decided to try Rooting it. Naturally before I start going through the long process of rooting with a PC I would make sure that I already tried using 'click to root' apps since most MTK PHONES work with them.

Another Tecno Phantom With 3GB RAM In The Making

Tecno Camon C8 was released about two weeks ago, i know many people already concluded that that was Tecno's Flagship device of the year,you couldn't be more wrong! Because according to 'reliable sources' there is an even 'badder' Tecno device in the making.

This upcoming Phantom device is said to be the Best Android phone ever made by tecno, the Tecno Camon C8 was an device so I'm wondering, How much better can this coming device be?

Infinix Hottest One Is Finally Unveiled: See Specs

This month has been a really competitive month for Smartphone manufacturers with Flagship devices dropping at every turn. We've had Samsung Note 5, Tecno Camon C5,we are all impatiently waiting for the Tecno Camon C8 now Infinix Hottest One has been dropped. A while ago I told y'all about a new Infinix device that was set to drop well that device is here and it's called the hottest one or Infinix Hot 2.

The Infinix Hottest One is a sequel to the Infinix Hot which was released November last year(2014), The hottest one was released yesterday (18/08/2015) on Jumia.

Check Out The Tecno Camon C8 With A Futuristic Camera

In case you hadn't noticed, I don't do phone reviews anymore, why? Even I don't know.. It was just a personal decision. I decided to just to stop phone reviews for a while and focus more on Tips and News, but lately the Tecno C8 has been tempting me,calling me and begging me to review "Her", I took my stand and Said I wasn't going to make a review, now seeing a couple of pictures that this "baby" captured made me rethink my decision.

I was going through Tecno's official Facebook page trying to keep myself upto speed and check if I'd see the release date and maybe some pictures of the highly anticipated TECNO Camon C8, I saw pictures, pictures that "WOWED" me and I've got to say I'm impressed, I'll be showing you the pictures I saw so..get ready to get your mind blown.

The pictures showcase the quality of the TECNO Camon C8 camera and it's ability to take nice, clear pictures in low light.

Another Monster Device From infinix?

Infinix seem to be going "all in", Releasing Flagship device after flagship device and taking the mobile market by storm!
Infinix hot note was a mega hit, reaching over 50,000 hands in week!
Infinix Zero 2 is a nice device with impressive specs but the price is quite high for the average Nigerian so it didn't reach as much hands as the Infinix hot note.
Infinix Hot also held its end, been a really nice budget phone.

Speculations suggest that they are in the kitchen again, and I smell something super cooking!

Innjoo Lagos Office Set To Resume Operations

Few days ago, I wrote a post that said Innjoo Lagos Office Got Shut Down By NCC due to the company producing substandard products and all the innjoo users were in Panic-mode and all aspiring innjoo users immediately took their mind off all Innjoo products
I promised I would update you as the matter unfolds, so here I am.

I tried reaching any Innjoo staff (besides the security guard) and all efforts were in vain.

A friend, Don Caprio of Geek NG managed to get a hold of a staff via Email.

Here's what he had to say;

We confirmed that the device in question was the newly released Innjoo Fire that actually sold lots copies.

In an email chat with Jack Huang, Innjoo sales manager for Nigeria, he confirmed this and explained that Innjoo will resume operations this week. He said the issue they had with NCC has been sorted out.

Earlier today again in a short phone call, he maintained that operations would resume this week. When asked whether other devices were affected, he said the only device in question was Innjoo Fire and of course, we’re assuming the phone has now passed through the proper channel and has been approved by NCC. However, that’s only our speculation.

We don’t know yet if the device has now been approved by NCC or whether its now safe to use but at the moment, it’s not available on Innjoo’s major online retail partner, Jumia



Now I'm confused;
They guys that are using the supposed "faulty" Innjoo Fire? What do they do?

Should they return them?

Some people even say "Innjoo bribed their way back"(you didn't hear that from me).


All the same they are welcome back.

I just hope they beef up the performance of their phones so we don't start dancing to the same old tune again.

Innjoo Lagos Office Gets Shut Down By NCC

I was doing my regular routine reading when I stumbled upon a thread on Nairaland

It said "Innjoo Lagos office had been shut down by NCC in collaboration with SON due to the company producing substandard products especially the innjoo fire.

Sony Xperia Z3+ Review

The Sony Xperia Z3+ is the latest smartphone by Japanese manufacturer, Sony.



It is the successor of the successful Sony Xperia Z3.
Naturally, we expect new phones to come with new amazing features and when they don't "As is the case of the Sony Xperia Z3+ we feel disappointed. But in this case I would say it's quite understandable seeing as the Sony Xperia Z3 is already a monster device!
But a few improvements like a better battery and a slightly different design, would have gone a long way.
