With Xiaomi announcing their phablet with premium specs and affordable price tag, they’re obviously going after and competing against other manufacturers in the same scene. One of them is Apple with its iPhone 6 Plus. Let’s take a look at the side-by-side comparison of both their specs.

In favor of Mi Note Pro:

  • Bigger display size
  • Quad HD screen resolution
  • More pixel count
  • Better glass design
  • Powerful Snapdragon 810 processor
  • 4GB LPDDR4 RAM
  • Larger megapixel count on rear and front cameras
  • Hi-Fi sound processor
  • Thinner form factor
  • Lighter
  • Way more affordable

In favor of iPhone 6 Plus:

  • Can go up to 128GB storage
  • NFC (Apple Pay)
  • Fingerprint sensor
  • UV sensor
  • Heart rate monitor

On paper, the iPhone 6 Plus’ specs are a far cry compared to that of Xiaomi Mi Note Pro’s. Same is the case for both their pricing with the Note Pro being much more affordable than the iPhone. But since we know that the iPhone’s decent specs work together more efficiently than other higher spec’d internals, it will all just boil down to user experience to prove whether the Mi Note Pro is indeed the iPhone 6 Plus killer.

What do you think?

Specs Comparison: ASUS Pegasus X002 vs. Acer Liquid Jade S

We’ve just seen the Acer Liquid Jade S up close last month which is the successor to the Liquid Jade. A few days after that and the Taiwanese company ASUS unveiled its Pegasus X002. We saw some great resemblance in specs for both devices which prompted us to do a side-by-side specs comparison of the two and see how they both fare in paper.

CNY799 (approx. Php5,800)Undisclosed, could be close to the SRP of Liquid Jade at Php14,990.

Both are equal in:

  • Screen size/resolution
  • Pixel count
  • GPU
  • Internal storage
  • 4G connectivity
  • Android OS version

ASUS Pegasus X002 advantage:

  • Battery capacity
  • 5MP front camera

Acer Liquid Jade S advantage:

  • Corning Gorilla Glass 3
  • Octa-core processor
  • 13MP rear camera
  • Thinner/lighter form factor

Price:

The Pegasus X002 carries a price tag of CNY799 or approximately Php5,800 when directly converted. On the other hand, the Liquid Jade S still has no price as of this time; but just like what we’ve mentioned before, our guesstimate is somewhere around Php12,990. It still isn’t available here but do expect it to arrive during the first quarter of 2015.

This comparison just shows that ASUS is once again offering users beefy specs at an affordable asking price. Acer indeed has more edge in specs alone, but the approximated price gap between the two gives us an idea which has more bang-for-the-buck than the other.

CM Excalibur vs MyPhone Infinity Lite specs comparison

Cherry Mobile has just announced its newest octa-core smartphone – the Excalibur. We pit it against the similarly-priced MyPhone Infinity Lite. Who’s got the advantage when it comes to specs? Find out.

PricePhp6,999Php7,999

In terms of display size, the Excalibur is bigger at 5 inches, while the Infinity Lite has 4.7 inches which resulted in to a slightly higher pixel density. The internals of both devices are similar in almost every way. Processor, memory, storage, and even camera are identical – the only advantage the Excalibur has is its special Sony lens with F2.0 aperture.

Both are equipped with 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, and Wi-Fi; while battery capacity has very little difference. The most significant distinction between the two is their price. The Excalibur is priced at Php6,999 and while the Infinity Lite costs Php1,000 more. With very little variation on paper, the Excalibur is obviously the better choice between the two — in terms of specs, at least.
