Meizu MX launches today, lines dotted all over China as usual

This time last year we witnessed the Meizu M9 madness in Shenzhen, so we decided to pay our favorite gadget city another visit for the MX launch today (still the 1.4GHz dual-core model, of course). Surprisingly, the lines in Huaqiangbei this time were significantly shorter, but we were told that this was due to tighter security measures as requested by the local authorities — if you’ve seen last year’s photos you’ll know why. Instead, this year the customers are told to line up only when they get a phone call; but a few keen beans still arrived last night, and the first guy in Shenzhen even turned down hotel accommodation offered by Meizu

Dell Streak Pro D43 launched in China, where Yi shall find some Baidu love

Just as rumored and teased earlier this week, yesterday Dell unveiled the world’s first Baidu Yi-powered smartphone dubbed Streak Pro D43. We won’t bore you with the hardware details again (the D43′s identical to its Japanese Android counterpart 101DL ), but it’s worth noting that this dual-core 1.5GHz, quadband HSPA phone focuses on features and services tailored for Chinese users, including some seemingly basic Mandarin voice control (no pressure on Siri just yet), contacts synchronization, Baidu Chinese input, Yi’s own app store and 100GB of free cloud storage that supports multimedia upload and secure file sharing.

Dell’s Streak Pro 101DL to become Baidu’s first Yi phone, shows up in FCC’s database

We already knew that Chinese search giant Baidu’s been cosying up to Dell to kick-start its very own smartphone ecosystem dubbed Yi (which means “easy” in Chinese), but so far both parties have been mum on the specifics of the hardware. Thankfully, a lucky lady — some sort of microblogging goddess on Sina Weibo — managed to get hold of an engineering sample and was kind enough to share some details.

Meizu MX review

A quick tag search for ” Meizu ” on Engadget takes us all the way back to April 2006, where we saw the launch of the Chinese company’s M6 Mini Player with MP4 playback. But in fact, if you go as far back as early 2003 (before Engadget was even born) you’ll also dig up the Meizu MX, which was eventually launched towards the end of the year.

Lenovo will launch a Windows Phone in the second half of 2012, says LePhone product manager

We’ve already been teased by a LePhone S2 moonlighting as a Windows Phone last month, but it was only yesterday that Lenovo confirmed an upcoming product featuring said OS. While boasting a mere total of 700,000 phone units sold since the original LePhone debuted in May last year (which is rather mundane compared to the Xiaomi Phone’s 300,000 pre-orders in 34 hours), product manager Chen Yue told iMobile that Lenovo’s now aiming to release a Windows Phone in the second half of next year.

Lenovo’s LePhone S2 joins the Beijing party, boasts a 1.4GHz chip in a much lighter body

Just to wrap up today’s product launch extravaganza in Beijing, Lenovo also threw in its new LePhone S2 dedicated to the phone category in China (while insisting the 5-inch LePad S2005 is more of a tablet, but we’ll let you guys do the debate). This 3.8-inch WCDMA phone is no match for many of the big players out there with its single-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm MSM8255 chip, but other than that it should be pretty sufficient for the average user

Exclusive: Lenovo also working on a 5-inch Android tablet, because pockets need love too

No matter how tempting the specs on Lenovo’s leaked 10.1-inch tablet are, you might prefer something fairly more portable just for the sake of your regular pockets. Well, it looks like Lenovo’s got you covered, too

Windows Phone Apollo to feature speech-to-text for email, low-end Tango gets split in two

If this hodgepodge of sorta, kinda official confirmation is to be believed, Windows Phone users can look forward to deeper integration of voice command functionality built-in to the Apollo update. Nokia US’ CEO, Chris Weber , first spilled the speech recognition beans in an interview with VentureBeat back in early August, referring to the tech as a killer WP feature. Now, a report over on ZDNet backs up that leaked info with resume tidbits from former MS Windows Phone / Mobile Communications team members that had a hand in creating the so-called “Voice-Compose” and “Read-Aloud” features for native email clients– even tipping us off to a possible Windows 8 and WP 8 convergence.
