Compare and Contrast: the Oppo Find 7 vs the Lenovo Vibe Z2

 

 

Display

Now that there is an actual competitive market for QHD smartphone screens that are available to the public, it is high time that we took a look at the best of the best. Today I’ll be comparing two different sets; the Oppo Find 7 and the Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro. Both of these devices provide an IPS QHD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440.The Lenovo Vibe Z2 has a lower pixel density than the Oppo Find 7; which is due to the difference in screen size. The Vibe Z2 has a 6 inch display, while the Find 7 has a slightly smaller screen, at 5.5 inches. Obviously the latter will have somewhat better screen resolution. Along with its’ larger screen, the Vibe Z2 is also equipped with a larger battery; 4000mAh compared to the Find 7’s 3000mAh unit. Both handsets have a lot of followers who swear by them; neither is likely to disappoint consumers.

Processor and Memory

When it comes to processors and memory capabilities; these two devices are nearly identical. Both of these smartphones are equipped with a quad-core 2.5GHz 801 (Oppo first featured this processor in their Flagship, Lenovo followed suit with their K920 model). Both devices are also equipped with 3GB of RAM.

Storage

The storage capacity differences between these two smartphones are rather significant. While both phones come standard with 32GB of internal storage, the Oppo Find 7 has the bonus feature of possessing a microSD card slot; making it possible to double your overall storage.

Camera

Both the Oppo Find 7 and the Lenovo Vibe Z2 are equipped with 5MP front-facing cameras for easily taking photos of yourself or snapchat. The Oppo Find 7 is equipped with a BSI sensor, dual LED flash and a 13MP snapper located on the back side. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 is equipped with a slightly better camera; a 16MP with OIS and a dual LED flash.

Design and Features

The Oppo Find 7 has a titanium alloy frame and removable/chargeable battery. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 is a good looking compact metal frame build. The Vibe Z2 is running KitKat 4.4.2; which is one of the reasons it is such a popular attractive model. It is also equipped with dual-SIM. The Find 7 model is not equipped with either. It does however come standard with an Ultra-HD feature, which allows users to take 50MP pics.

Final Evaluation

In the end, obviously it all comes down to features and affordability. For those with abnormally high storage capacity requirements for their devices, the Oppo Find 7 is probably the best choice. If you’re more concerned about having the largest display possible, the Lenovo Vibe Z2 is probably the better choice between the two devices. It is in my opinion, the more attractive of the two models as well. Rumored that it will be priced at around $700; the Lenovo Vibe Z2 is only $100 more than the Oppo Find 7; really not a deal breaker for those who really want the larger display.

Sony anounces partnership with Xiaomi for its TV range

Sony Partners with Xiaomi
Sony Partners with Xiaomi

Xiaomi has emerged as one of the biggest and fastest growing company not only in China, but across the world. This fact becomes clear as Sony gave Xiaomi a hand of partnership. As stated by the Ta Kung Pao website located in Hong Kong, the recent partnership of Sony Visual Products and China’s Xiaomi Technology will fare well.

Considering Sony’s relatively good standing in the Chinese market, and the Chinese market’s influence in America, Sony’s venture has been a wise and expected step. However, with this endeavour, Sony will now have to differentiate itself from foreign competitors.

Sony, a company oriented in quality and aesthetically pleasing products, is somewhat weak in its development of User Interface (UI). As a result, its venture with UI-familiar and internet entrepreneurial Xiaomi will be a beneficial collaboration.

Sony’s recent TV line will be entirely compatible with Xiaomi’s smart-TV UI integration that will combine the Sony TV to the Xiaomi Box which has the ability to make an ordinary TVs a Smart TVs. Xiaomi’s new box supports the stronger 4K definition.

In addition to Xiaomi, Sony has also joined hands with other Chinese corporations Baidu, Wasu TV and Duomi to offer video and photo content via cloud services as well as content portals for Sony. Sony has shown wisdom with these recent collaborations and is sure to move a step forward from its competitors. Since these smart applications would have cost Sony a huge amount, Sony’s joint ventures will help give the company a competitive advantage in the foreign market.

Following Sony’s example, American based TV makers are likely to partner with foreign makers in order to increase profits in the near future.

This Sony-Xiaomi partnership will also be beneficial for Xiaomi and we must say that people at Xiaomi know how to move ahead in this business world.

Xiaomi faces security concerns over its cloud messaging system

 

Mi cloud
Mi cloud is now secure

Xiaomi has taken the worldwide mobile market with a storm as they have so much to offer in a decently priced smartphone. One feature which the company was offering is now under scanner as it has been found that Xiaomi stores its user’s data on it servers.

It was found that important information including IMEI number, telco name, IMSI number and sensitive information like the phone numbers in contact list as well as of those who have sent or received a message using Xiaomi cloud services are been stored on a server named api.account.xiaomi.com

Xiaomi has no doubt provided a service like the iCloud but what about this information which is being stored on their servers? This can be considered as a breach of privacy policy.

Mr. Hugo Barra, vice president of international operations explained that IMEI number, IMSI number and the phone number is required to send and receive messages through the MiCloud. He stated that phonebook contacts of a user are never stored on our servers and the encrypted messages are also not stored for a time longer than required.

Mr. Hugo further said that we will do all that is required to protect the privacy of our users. Xiaomi has now scheduled an OTA system update to implement some changes where a user will be given the cloud messaging app as an optional service. Earlier, users had to activate the cloud messaging app while activating their phone.

This shows that Xiaomi cares for its users and their privacy concerns. We can be sure that Xiaomi is here to stay as this is just the beginning.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G LTE Sold Out Within the First 35 Seconds of Release!

They say that any press is good press, and it has certainly rung true; particularly for the quickly escalating Xiaomi company; a popular Chinese-based smartphone producer recently alleged to have infringed upon a Singapore customer’s personal data disclosure rights. These stories revolving around privacy issues may or may not be well founded; however there is no doubt about the Xiaomi brand’s increasingly fantastic reputation for providing excellent phone service at a very reasonable cost. Xiaomi leapt ahead of Samsung in the competition to provide the number one smartphone in China in mid-2014, and the company shows signs of continuing on their path of success. The latest and greatest Xiaomi device to hit the market is of course the Redmi Note 4G LTE model; of which 100,000 were sold within the first 35 seconds of release!

This phablet; or phonelet; has been available for some time now, but this certainly hasn’t decreased its’ popularity. Xiaomi is rumored to be on the verge of a brand new and exciting release according to sources. The Xiaomi 4G LTE model is rumored to make its’ first appearance within the next few weeks. The 4G Redmi Note LTE has some really great specs for those looking for a device on a budget. It is equipped with a 3200mAh battery, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor that clocks 1.6 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. With a microSD card, you can add an additional 64 GB of storage. The Redmi Note HD display screen is 5.5 inches; with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The phablet’s camera is pretty standard; with 13MP, autofocus and LED flash. There is however an additional 5MP front-facing cameras for those who wish to video chat or take pics with their friends. The price is pretty fantastic, at roughly $162.

Unfortunately for the US, the chances of the Redmi Note 4G LTE model ever making it overseas in the immediate future are slim to none. The phone’s 4G capabilities only apply in China and India for the time being. Xiaomi is however working towards the eventual goal of emerging in the US market; estimated to occur sometime in 2015. They are methodically establishing their reputation within their own nation; as well as other low to mid-range markets before tackling the US market; which seems to be a well-functioning plan thus far.

The washer along the side of the headset is used to click on your selections.
