News and Information from all aspects of the mobile phone industry
A new Kindle is coming to town! The Kindle Oasis has leaked out ahead of schedule, thanks to a post made to China’s Taobao shopping site. The new Amazon e-reader comes with an asymmetric design for one-handed use, improved LED backlighting and absolutely insane battery life. Take a look!
Last week, it was uncovered that LG have trademarked the name “G5 SE” in South Korea, sparking rumours that it was about to release a smaller version of the LG G5. However, Mobile Fun have today received stock of the official LG G5 QuickCover cases which list compatibility for G5 / G5 SE on the packaging, which seems to confirm that the devices will in fact be the same size (if they are to be different models at all).
When the iPhone SE was still naught but a rumour, opinions were divided on the phone’s design. Would it look like the boxy iPhone 5, Apple’s previous four inch phone, or would it be a pint-sized version of the curvier iPhone 6? Ultimately, we ended up with the former, a straight-edged iPhone with only a few small tweaks inspired by the iPhone 6. Not everyone was happy with that answer though, and this week ComputerBild unveiled an alternative, a custom-built iPhone they’re calling the iPhone 6 SE.
Yesterday we covered the launch of the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus, the latest flagship phones from Chinese smartphone giant Huawei. The two phones come with high-end Kirin octa-core processors, innovative dual cameras, and are clad in a slim aluminium shell. Today, we’re happy to confirm the first UK prices for these high-end phones, sold SIM-free and unlocked.
Huawei isn’t the most well-known phone maker in the UK, but it’s kind of a big deal. The company sold over 100 million devices last year, most in its native China, making it the third biggest smartphone maker in the world after Samsung and Apple. The company announced its latest flagship phone in London today, the P9. Its standout feature is a Leica-approved dual-lens camera, but there’s plenty more to see here. Let’s take a look.
