Xiaomi

Xiaomi is following the footsteps of Apple and local rival Huawei, on Tuesday in Beijing announcing the Mi 5C -- a phone powered by the company's first in-house processor, the Surge S1.
The Mi 5C looks to be a cheaper, less powerful iteration of last year's excellent Mi 5. Like that phone, it has a 5.15-inch screen. Unlike that phone, it has 3GB of RAM, a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 2,860mAh battery. Compare that to the Mi 5's 4GB of RAM, 16-megapixel rear camera and 3,000mAh battery.
But the Mi 5C clearly wins on price: It'll cost 1,500 yuan, which converts to around $220, AU$280 and £175, when it launches on March 3 in China. That's a good bit lower than the 2,700 yuan ($400, AU$500, £315) the Mi 5 cost last year.
The Mi 5C houses Xiaomi's own 2.2GHz Surge S1 chipset, built by Pinecone, a subsidiary started by the company two years ago. Xiaomi claims the S1 Surge outperforms the Snapdragon 625, Qualcomm's midrange chipset.

The Mi 5C key specs:

  • -5.15-inch, 2,560x1,600-resolution display
  • -5.6x2.7x0.27 inches (144.4x70.7x7.1mm)
  • -2.2GHz octa-core Surge S1 processor
  • -12 megapixel rear camera, 8 megapixel front-facing camera
  • -3GB RAM
  • -64GB of internal memory
  • -2,860mAh non-removable battery
  • -Android 7.1 Nougat
  • Rose Gold, Black, Gold variations
As with previous phones from the innovative Chinese electronics company, it'll run MIUI, a customised version of Android. It's based on Android 7.1 Nougat, first introduced last October with Google's own Pixel phones.
Xiaomi becomes the fourth phone maker to create its own processors, after Apple, Samsung and Huawei. It'll theoretically let the company craft phones for cheaper and allow it to sell them at a lower cost. That'll give it a much-needed competitive edge in China, where it last year slid from No. 1 to No. 5.
The Mi 5C's China-exclusivity means you won't be able to buy it from your local carrier, but it won't take long for the phone to pop up on third-party online retailers.

LG X Power 2

LG X Power 2: Hands-on with an absolute battery beast A full day of battery life is pretty much the holy grail of the smartphone world, where intense use sucks down battery reserves faster than a kid with a juice box. But two days of battery life? That's a pretty rare feat. LG's X Power 2, a followup to last year's X Power, claims it can go two days on a single charge, driven by a high-capacity battery. It clocks in at 4,500mAh, compared to the X Power's 4,100mAh battery pack. And no, you can't remove it. LG claims it can play 15 hours of continuous video, and charge up to 50 percent of its battery in an hour. The whole charge should take two hours total. Like most other phones, it uses Quick Charge technology. But what does "two days" mean? A full 48 hours of use or more like 16 to 20? We won't know for sure until we test it ourselves. We did get a chance to see the X Power 2 in person. While it's got mostly midrange specs, the phone

Blu R1 HD

is a $60 phone too cheap to be good? And is it so cheap that you won't care? That's what I wanted to know about the ad-supported Amazon Prime version of Blu's R1 HD phone, which knocks down the original retail price -- originally $110 for the 16GB model and $100 for 8GB version -- by showing you advertisements on the phone's lock screen. It'd be a tempting price for Prime members who cast a blind eye to ads with one exception: the R1 HD isn't very good. Its camera is mediocre, its performance is inconsistent, and call volume on audio speaker is too low to listen to comfortably. Sixty dollars (or $50 for the 8GB version with ads), however, is cheap enough to justify buying the phone for a kid, or an overseas guest or maybe even as an emergency backup. You seriously can't find that low a price on any modern smartphone. But for a little more, you have better, more reliable budget options, like the Samsung Galaxy J3 ($110 to $180, depending on the carri
