Mlais are not stopping for air! After the release of their fantastic M52, and new M4 Note they have already prepped a flagship phone for launch at the end of the month.
Mlais have switched their focus from the Chinese mainland to the international phone market and are releasing new phones at record speed. We have already seen, received and had hands on time with the amazing Mlais M52 Note, and recently the M4 was launched with metal frame and 64bit processor, but there is something else waiting in the sidelines.
Rumour has it that Mlais will release a 2015 flagship at the end of April named the Mlais M7. The phone has been designed specifically to go in direct competition with the likes of the JiaYu S3, iOcean Rock and the still unreleased Elephone P7000.
Gizchina News of the week
Mlais are being tight-lipped about the full hardware details but did let slip that the phone will have 3GB RAM, an octacore MT6752 processor (so LTE too) and the partial image leaked to us shows a fingerprint scanner on the rear. The image also seems to show that the rear panel is removable and what looks like a metal frame, but these details have not been confirmed.
Pricing for the M7 along with full specs are expected throughout the month, while anyone wanting an entry-level phone might want to consider either the M52 or M4 Note both of which are on sale now for $159.99.

looks like a samsung knockoff…but considering mlais m52’s awesomeness its really worth to wait for this baby……….
The first image is the M7, not sure which Samsung you think it looks like :p
Oops my mistake i took m4 note to m7…
When will we see your review of the M52 Andi? Looking at the Jiayu S3, Ecoo aurora and the Mlais M52, would like to know which you think is the best, particularly camera wise.
same. im also a cam guy!
It’s not that I’m a heavy cam user, like most things when I do use something I like decent quality! Some phones I’ve used have had such bad cams that I would’ve preferred to pay less for the phone and not have one!
yeah.. exactly. if u PAY for something, it SHOULD be at the VERY LEAST , quite decent !
yeah but the cameras of smartphones are garbage by definition if you compare it to any decent reflex :/
reflex?
yeah a reflex like this for example
http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-18-55mm-3-5-5-6-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B003ZYF3LO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1428010227&sr=8-1&keywords=reflex+camera
now THAT is a purpose built camera… obviously tech hasnt caught up with THAT much innovation to implement a purpose built cam into a slim phone. it’ll take us a few years before that becomes common…
Check the TCL M2U. Has a Sony IMX214 and the samples look very good. Would be my choice over anything else current.
refer me to a detailed review please?
Picture samples https://www.dropbox.com/s/e3cz9tskxhlxwqi/TCL%20M2U%20Picture%20Samples.rar?dl=0
I have an Iuni U2 and Gionee E7 which have great cameras and these TCL shots impressed me. Since I factory reset my Ecoo Aurora it now produces decent infocus shots, the TCL is still better. No interpolation.
No detailed review yet, but coolicool have Ok video on Youtube. China only TCL M2M is very similar phone and has been on sale for a while, so might have more reviews out there.
TCL also produce recent Alcatel mobiles.
Thanks Steve! that cleared up alot!
out of curiousity , WOAT do u do with THAT many GREAT phones ? you got like 4 , eh ?
I’m also waiting the review, mostly to check the camera performance.
Tinydeal have listed both the M52 and M4 note as having interpolated 8mp – 13mp rear cameras. Might be a mistake as only reference I could find, but i’d be cautious with this one.
I’m pretty sure it’s a 8MP interpolated camera, the price alone let’s you know that.
When I get back from Easter in the UK 😀
bring some eggs :p !
i hope screen will be 5inch max or total height max 145mm
Still waiting for the ecoo Aurora and Elephone p7000, so if this turns up as expected, and has comparable specs it will go to the top of my list ! Mlais do seem to be delivering the goods, and so far I haven’t seen any criticism hardware wise, which is more than can be said for Ulefone, Elephone and ecoo.
I think rear fingerprint is not usable. If you cant place it on front, do not use! You do not have to use finger print. So, I am not interested in…
F*************ck I already bought the m52 :/.
Dude,
Do you really need now that extra GB of Ram? If you got your M52 at 129$, do you think that those extra 30$ are really worth it. Consider also that you are delaying your delivery one additional month (if everything goes smoothly).
Maybe you did not get such a bad deal
(Come on, I had to tell something to the guy, so that he does not get so mad :-D)
I don’t really need it lol but if the price is close to 169 I will be disgusted. Also that design pleases me better than the m52. Right now we don’t even know if the screen is 5′ or 5.5′ anything smaller than 5.5 doesn’t interest me in the slightest.
so wait and see…
just sell it
why? It’s a good phone :), if I’m really interested by the m7 I will just buy it later.
