Dakele 3 launch confirmed, specs include sapphire display and 64bit processor


dakele 3

Dakele have announced that they will launch the Dakele 3 on the 9th of December. Here are the specification details we know so far.

Dakele have been making plenty of noise about their 3rd generation phone over the past few weeks with claims of amazing hardware and quality construction. Well finally the details have been released and it all looks very good to us, even if the design is a little familiar.

On paper the Dakele 3 is one hell of a Mediatek phone with specifications that will easily stand up against even top of the range Qualcomm phones.

At the heart of the phone there’s an 8-core 64bit Mediatek MT6572 chip with impressive Mali T760 GPU and 3GB RAM. 16GB memory will be offered as standard with to option to use an additional 128gb micro SD card.

Sony are supplying both the front IMX219 8 mega-pixel and IMX214 13 mega-pixel sensors, there rear boasting a D-Bright custom flash from Osram and F2.0 aperture.

Gizchina News of the week


The 5-inch display is a 1920 x 1080 model with pixel density of 441ppi, which Dakele say is 10% brighter than the panel found on the Meizu MX4 Pro. By our count that makes max brightness 500cd/m!

As you can see by the design of the phone, the Dakele 3 is very iPhone 6 in inspiration, but the Chinese phone one ups the Apple device with a Sapphire glass front panel!

Other features include a 2500mAh battery with 1.5a fast charging and Android 4.4 Kitkat with a choice of Dakele’s Kele UI 2.0, MIUI, ColorOS or Le Frog rom.

It all sounds too good to be true especially when the retail price in China is just 1499 Yuan! That’s significantly less than the Meizu MX4 and way cheaper than current Xiaomi and OnePlus flagship phones.

We will certainly be attempting to get hold of one of these Mediatek flagship killers, so keep posted.

    Waiting for redmi note 2 or mx4 mini with the same soc, this smartphone has nice specs but what about the software follow up ?

    Why? Why?? Why???. Why no originality? Must they clone? This is flawed.

    You don’t compare a MT6572 based phone with flagships.That’s what replaces the 8xA7 and we’ll see it in hundreds of phones.
    Even at 200$ it would still be a clone.Wish they would clone the no bezel Sharp phones at least lol.
    Actually i really do wish someone big would make something similar to the Sharp devices, or even better with a smaller chin.Not only users would love it but it would be a great way to stand out.

      There’s a typo in the article, it’s MT6752, not MT6572. Still no flagship, just saying 🙂

    this is not dakele this is iphone 6
    iphone 6 has an average design btw.
    Specs are great though,
    great battery capacity too for the size.

    interested, what is more powerful, 6752 or 6595 ?

      December 3, 2014

      I’ve had the same thought, anyone know the clock speeds of the 6752?

      • Evgenij Nebotov
        December 3, 2014

        actually i guess it will clock around 2ghz and will be weaker than 6595, as 6595 can support more video record speed, more mpx cameras, and what i don’t like – this is too iphone’ish, do it meizu’ish and i’m sold 😀

        • Mo
          December 3, 2014

          All they need to do is use meizus screen ratio and keep the iPhone design lol

    • Andrei Shevchuk
      December 3, 2014

      tl;dr: MT6595 is roughly 30-70% faster depending on application.

      CPU:
      • MT6595:
        4 × Cortex-A7 (1.9 DMIPS/MHz) @ 2.1 GHz
        4 × Cortex-A17 (~4 DMIPS/MHz) @ 1.7 GHz
      • MT6752:
        8 × Cortex-A53 (2.3 DMIPS/MHz) @ 1.7 GHz

      GPU:
      • MT6595:
        Imagination PowerVR G6200 @ 600 MHz (~75 GFlops)
      • MT6752:
        ARM Mali T760 MP2 @ 700MHz (~45 GFlops)

      To get something faster than MT6595, we’ll have to wait for MT6795 devices (if it will have 4 × Cortex-A53 + 4 × Cortex-A57), or even something not yet announced (if MT6795 will have 8 × Cortex-A53 instead).

      It’s 2 core!!! It’s not sounds the best but I’m waiting to see what this combo can do. Its has super low power needs as the ARM say…

      The Mali T760 goes from 1 to 16 cores, and Elephone is advertising their MTK 6732 as paired with a Mali T760 MP16.. but they are Elephone they might be advertising as MP16 but ship a MP2.

    Dakele is known brand in china and they had really released some decent phones like dakele small and …they Update phone regurely and have good built-quility..their speaker’s sound is also Natural and loud….but Really Put me off too,As I was really expecting sth different and not that much cloning in design…the only thing missing is “finger Print scanner”…
    and its really intersting that It will be running with 4-5 OS like colorOS / lewa / Miui &….and of course Kele u2(their own Rom) in first month release (means: expect great software Updating in first year of release)
