Looking inside, Arsenal is powered by Mediatek 6753 Octa-Core Processor coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB Internal Storage. Makes use of ARM Mali T720-MP3 GPU. This internal setup is not entirely new which is more on power efficiency rather than performance. Antutu registered at 37K mark. See here:

Has near complete connectivity from WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Ultra fast LTE is support for both sim slots. *Supports USB-OTG but you need to install thrid party app (ES Explorer) to transfer in between files from internal to external. Has complete set of sensors from proximity, light, e-compass and gyroscrope. Arsenal is VR focused and with this it offers a CardVR Box which is portable and collapsible cardboard vr.

To compliment its VR qualities, Arsenal has put a Dirac HiFi audio chip for high definition sounds.
Runs on Android Marshmallow and seems to be near stock. Offer Fingerprint Sensor for personalize security.

Arsenal VR One is equipped with 13MP Rear camera with Samsung S5K3M2 ISOCELL Sensor at f/2.2 aperture while its front camera is at 8MP Wide Angle with an OmniVision ov8858 sensor at f/2.4 aperture. Just basic camera here offering panorama and hdr mode with gesture shot while for video it does have EIS. Here are teaser camera shots.

Does take detail shot though i find its focusing need some tweaking.

Selfie is just ok but I see some graininess. With this, VR One might struggle in low light.

Battery is at 2800mAh Battery. 2A charging via its propriety charger.


Other than VR One, Arsenal is set to launch two other smartphones.

IFA 2016: Huawei Announces Nova and Nova Plus Midrange Phones

Huawei renews it midrange line up with Nova and Nova Plus announced for IFA 2016.

Upfront it makes use of 2.5D Curved glass unto a contoured frame, curves and runs around the back looks elegant and sexy. Major difference lies at the back for Nova follows tat of Huawei P9 but with round fingerprint sensor and Nova Plus on the other hand follows the Mate series but with squarish Fingerprint sensor. Guess Huawei is playing with design but Nova and Nova Plus really look so good.

Under the hood, both are powered by Snapdragon 625 Octa-Core Processor with Adreno 506 GPU, 3GB RAM and 32GB Internal Storage. You can expand if you need via MicroSD slot for up to 128GB.

Major difference is also found on their optics, as Nova will carry only 12MP while Nova Plus has 16MP Primary Rear Camera. Hybrid AF is supported for both but OIS is only found on Nova Plus. The Two will have front camera set at 8MP.

These are Dual Sim Dual Standby Smartphones and carries the regular sets of connectivity from WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS. Huawei implements USB Type-C for its next generation devices. Guess thsi is to prepare for the future. This should enable support for USB-OTG and other functions.

Fingerprint security is available for both devices for more personalized security.

Huawei Nova packs a 3020mAh battery while Nova Plus has 3340mAh.

Availability for the Huawei Nova is said to be in October in over 50 countries and regions. The Huawei Nova Plus will initially be available in October in over 50 markets. No Word Yet on Pricing.
