Newman have finally unveiled the design of their new quad-core flagshipphone. Currently known as the Newman K1, the Chinese electronics maker has asked fans to take part in a competition to name the newphone.
For a company who have only been in the smartphone market for just over a year, Newman are doing surprisingly well. Their first phone, the N1 sold incredibly well, and the follow up Newman N2 is by far one of the best Chinese phones we have ever tested.

But with a new year comes a newflagshipphone and the Newman K1 is that phone! All we know about the newphone is what we have learned from the press renders provided here. The design is very similar to the Meizu Mx and looks to feature the volume rocker on the left hand side with the power/hold button sitting on the right.
We’ve reached out to Newman but they aren’t providing further details, expect the fact that they have launched a competition on their forums for member to give the Newman K1 and “meaningful Chinese name”.
We can’t wait to see more from Newman and the flagship K1 and look forward to future leaks!

Nice timing announcing their late-to-the-party phone. Now there’d be even more conflicting buyers.
I wouldn’t advice anybody to but the Newman N2. The battery life is so short and the screen becomes incredibly hot and can even burn your skin. I bought it and now I know it is a waste of money. Sheer waste of money
Wow! I didn’t experience that when we reviewed it earlier this year. Thanks for the info though
Hot phone is one of the reason why MT6589 phones are so enticing.
Are you sure? My Newman N2 is just fine. Sure it does heat up sometimes, but nowhere near the point of burning your skin. The battery life on mine is fine too, pretty much on par with my sister’s Galaxy S3.
