There is fierce competition in the upper mid-range of smartphones, but it seems that Meizu's successor to the popular MX4 model, the Meizu MX5, will have no problem competing with rivals, neither with those in its category, nor with premium brand models.

Although we are used to having to shell out quite a lot of money for smartphones that offer us HD screens, India's Intex brings us the first low-cost smartphone with HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels). The Aqua Star II HD is thus another one of the many "oriental" phones that are knocking on the door of Europe with a low price and good features, where - unless we indulge in a "relationship" - we still buy rather expensive smartphones telephones. This one intends to change that, as it is also supposed to set foot on the soil of the Old Continent.

Mobile phones have come a long way since their inception. Technology has advanced tremendously during this time, so today we can put everything in a smartphone for which we once needed even a desk space. Along with technological progress and trends, the size of mobile phones has also changed. At first, this steadily declined until the point when touch screens or smartphones began to appear. Since then, the size curve has gone up again. Now it seems we have found the perfect one? Are we really?
While the Fonkraft modular phone for the masses will apparently remain just a pious wish of users, since it was pulled from Indiegogo for some unknown reason in the middle of the campaign, they will still get their money's worth.
