Mlais have announced that a new and improved version of the Mlais M7 will launch soon with new hardware and a better price.
We reviewed the original Mlais M7 some days ago and were happy with the hardware and build but mentioned that an optimised ROM would really unlock the true potential of the phone. Well Mlais sound like they are doing just that along with a few hardware improvements to with the Mlais M7 Plus.
Mlais have confirmed that the new M7 Plus will be physically similar to the M7, which is good as we enjoyed the compact body with 5.5-inch display, but have a new fingerprint scanner, camera, processor and ROM for the phone.
A new OneTouch fingerprint scanner on the Mlais M7 Plus means that a single press will both wake up and unlock the phone, rather than the current method of waking the screen then unlocking.
Mediatek’s new MT6753 octacore chipset will be at the heart of the phone with the same 3GB RAM and 5.5-inch 720p display but the phone will now run Android 5.1 out of the box rather than 5.0.
The final upgrades come in the way of a slightly larger 2800mAh battery and a Sony IMX214 13 mega-pixel main camera in place of the IMX135 of the original.
Mlais have mentioned that the price of the Mlais M7 Plus will be lower than $189.99 but we will have to wait to find out just how much the phone will cost.

Just in case I am not understanding English language properly anymore or that my eyes are playing pranks on me, can someone please explain to me how the MT6753 is better than the MT6752?
These manufacturers are going completely gaga.
@Gizchina:disqus, how is the MT6753 better than the MT6752 considering that is has lower clocked CPU part and an inferior GPU part? Or is it just cos of the global LTE thingy?
Clarify please.
Well I guess for most people GPU is not really a concern, anything is
pretty much right to play Candy Crush, same for processor clocking, however, autonomy and LTE
support might be ….
Well the Meizu M2 Note is seeing a OnePlus One level of battery life.
So yeah the MT6753 is battery friendly.
The MT6752 is still battery friendly. I prefer higher performance and a minutely higher power consumption to lower performance and lower power consumption. In the long run, the lower performing SoC still spends the same amount of battery achieving the same thing.
mediatek is going the wrong way now,, here’s why :
when they came up with the MT6752, they took the mid range specs to a new level, and i was expecting them to continue that way. yes the MT6752 isn’t a beast in GPC power,, but in RAW CPU power for a midranger it is a beast. then they released the Helio X10. and then i knew it was a mistake. the helio x10 should be their top notch now . but comparing it to the beastly midranger mt6752 will make it look like an upgraded version in the same midrange category .. so they went the wrong way now, they came up with a downgraded version of mt6752, which is mt6753. and then they came up with a top of the line soc helio x20..so this way, the difference wll be obvious between the Helio line and the midrange offering they have. but i think this is not going to last for a long time anyway, i mean the mt6753, the Helio p1 is on the way,, before the end of this year we should start seeing it,, yes it’s not that good..but it will be much better than MT6753. pls note that the Snapdragon 620 will be also a midranger .. consisting of 4 cortex A53 plus 4 Cortex A72, this will be a true beast,, it can even go head to head with SD810. let alone the SD820 which will be a flagship grade . i think Qualcom is coming back
It’s not really about Qualcomm coming back it’s about how they allowed Mediatek to close the gap that once existed between the two. Qualcomm was completely unprepared for the 64 bit releases (as was Google, Lollipop was one of the most unstable releases of Android). The 400 series was incredibly underpowered, and the 610 and 810 suffered from overheating problems.
As for Mediatek they played this perfectly. The 6752 is probably the best SoC to be released this year overall. The 6753 and X10 are better in day to day usage than their SD counterparts. They may not have as much raw power but they have sustained power over longer periods of times with no heating or throttling. Mediatek is moving away from the benchmark wars of competing for the best score and instead focusing on actual day to day use. That is the point of the X10 it is a powerful processor for when you need it and efficient one for everyday use. The X20 will continue this trend.
Being good for just one part and bad for the rest in comparison to another doesnt really make something better. Does it?
