News & Reviews:   entry-level smartphone

vivo might be ready to launch a new series of smartphones with new patents leaked on the internet. The company has filed two patent applications with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA). One of them is hinting at a new "Zen" series smartphone, and the other one is also interesting with an iPod-like design.

Aside from the recent news about the new Vive Cosmos VR headsets, it's been a while since we've heard from HTC. So, it was with quite a bit of surprise when the company announced a new entry-level smartphone - the HTC Wildfire R70. The company is being conservative this time, however, and will only make this device available in Thailand and India.
