2016 Galaxy On5 passes through FCC, hints imminent launch

Kevin Bruce Francisco

It looks like Samsung is updating its On5 series as the 2016 edition just passed through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This means that it will soon be ready for the public as a successor to the 2015 variant just like what they do with their Galaxy J and A series.

Samsung-Galaxy-On5

Some of the expected specifications of the On5 includes a 5-inch display, an Exynos 7570 chipset, and 2GB of RAM. Looking back at the 2015 On5, it seems like the 5-inch display is maintained while the chipset and RAM have both been bumped up.

What got the attention of consumers on the current On5 is its sub-Php6K pricing. When the new model comes out and becomes available in the Philippines, we expect it to be in the same price range if not exactly the same. Until then, stay tuned for more official details.

Possible Xiaomi Note 2 teaser shows it could be “greater than” Mi 5

Kevin Bruce Francisco

A teaser image has been posted on the company’s Weibo page and it shows nothing but a big 2 > 5 graphics which translate to 2 is greater than 5. Could it mean that the rumored Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is more advanced than their current top of the line Mi 5?

xiaomi-teaser

Xiaomi Mi Note 2 rumored specs:
5.7-inch Quad HD display @ 2560 x 1440 resolution
Snapdragon 820 CPU
Adreno 530 GPU
4GB RAM
32GB/64GB internal storage
23MP rear camera
12MP front camera
3500mAh battery with Quick Charge

To compare it with the Xiaomi Mi 5 which is the company’s flagship phone right now, it has a smaller 5.2-inch display that maxes out at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

It has a Snapdragon 820 chipset and 4GB RAM which is the rumored internals of the Mi Note 2 as well, but the latter has a more capable camera compared to the 16MP rear and 4MP front shooters of the Mi 5.

Battery-wise, the Mi5 tops out at 3000mAh capacity so if the alleged specs prove true, the new phone could be greater in terms of specs alone. Still, we’re waiting on Xiaomi for any official announcements so be sure to check back on this page.

What do you think the statement 2 > 5 means? Wild guesses are welcome!
