If these leaked photos are true, the Elephone S8 Pro will have an under-the-screen fingerprint sensor. This gives us is more real estate for the display without placing the sensor on the back of the phone. (more…)

Ultra budget great choice
Ulefone is one of the long runners in the China phone market and they have released an ultra-budget model, the Ulefone S8 Pro.
This phone has been tested by trusted associates and it’s so good they’ve ordered multiple units to be sold through their local shops.
Main Features:
- Display: 5.3 inch, 1280 x 720 Pixel screen
- CPU: MTK6737 Quad Core 1.3GHz
- System: Android 7.0
- RAM + ROM: 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM
- Camera: 5.0MP front camera + 13.0MP + 5.0MP back cameras
- Sensor: E-Compass, Gravity Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Touch Sensor
- SIM Card: dual SIM dual standby. Micro + Micro SIM
- Feature: GPSA / GPS
- Bluetooth: 4.0
- 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
- 3G: WCDMA 850/900/2100MHz
- 4G: FDD-LTE 800/900/2100/2600MHz
Notably, the SoC MT6737, which is a nice step above MT6580 usually included in ultra-budget models. This is SOC includes 4 Cortex-A53 cores at 1.3GHz. These are the same cores as featured in Helio P20, for example, but clocked lower.
It also includes Android 7.0, a healthy 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, a respectable 3000mAh battery, and notably, the display is 5.3″, which makes it a step more compact than typical 5.5″.
The Ulefone S8 Pro is also Google Certified, which means Ulefone has gone through the rigorous testing process required for certification. Google Certification implies the ROM has been properly coded, all specs are genuine, and that there should be no funky Chinese apps included in the ROM. Good job Ulefone.
I’ve tested quite a few Ulefones over the years and they’ve all been very good phones. If you’re looking for an ultra-budget model, the Ulefone S8 is a good bet.

Bezelless Leagoo Mix teardown and specs
It seems the bezelless Mix phenomenon has caught on big time in the world of China phones. We’ve had a Doogee Mix, a Bluboo S1, and now the Leagoo Mix is following suit.

Leagoo KIICAA Mix preview specifications
- OS: Android 7.0
- Display: 5.5 inch, 1920 x 1080 Pixel screen
- CPU: MTK6750T Octa Core 1.5GHz
- System: Android 7.0
- RAM + ROM: 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM

- 4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20 TDD-LTE B40
$139.99 seems a fair price for the specs of the Mix, but $109.99 is great for a 1080P MT6750T phone. We also see the Leagoo Mix has a compass on board, which is something that some China mobiles have been skimping out on.
The Mix has appropriate bands for all of Asia, UK, and Euro, including the sometimes left out B20 (800MHz LTE).
- OS: Android 7.0

Oukitel K10000 Pro has a megantic 10000mAh battery
Coming in at 14mm, Oukitel does away with the thin-is-in fad and goes for broke with the 10,000mAh battery K10000 Pro.
As with the K6000 Plus, the K10000 Pro adapts the MT6750T SoC which includes faster RAM and a better GPU than MT6753.

The Oukitel K10000 Pro carries a huge 10,000mAh battery that not only keeps the K10000 running for days, but also functions as a powerbank which can be used to power other devices.
Stylewise Oukitel steps away from the current norm of smooth curves, and heads in the opposite direction making the K10000 Pro all sharp angles which give it a decidedly Transformeresque appearance.
If you’re looking for a big battery mobile and live in the UK, Asia, or Euro, consider the K10000 Pro.
