Worldwide Android News 10/04/15 – Galaxy S6, ZenFone 2 and More!

 

ASUS ZenFone 2 to Launch in Malaysia Starting April 21st

 

While today might be the day that the Galaxy S6 launches worldwide, not everyone can afford such a device and frankly, not everyone wants a Samsung device. That’s why it’s nice to see the ASUS ZenFone 2 offer users a quality, affordable alternative. It’ll be going on sale in Malaysia in three different versions, just as it did in France earlier this year. The ZE500CL will be a 5-inch 720p affair with an Intel Atom Z2560, while the ZE550ML will be a 5.5-inch 720p device with the more powerful Z3560 quad-core CPU and 2GB of RAM. The 4GB, Full HD model also features a 1080p display and the more powerful Z3580 CPU from Intel. This is the ZE551ML model and will probably be quite a bit more expensive. There is a deal going on at Gearbest right now on the ZenFone 2 though.

ZTE Nubia Z9 Keeps on Leaking Out, Could Feature Hardly Any Bezel

The Nubia Z9 just keeps on leaking out ahead of its launch, and now, we’re seeing more shots of what could be a look at the flagship device. It would seem that ZTE are looking to completely get rid of bezels this time around, and judging by the Z9 Mini and Z9 Max this Nubia could be one of the best.
