I don't think so...but, for me that isn't really important...

I'd recommend the 9300+, available on on Aliexpress and FastcardTech


It's the same specs as the Zopo ZP900, just with a bit less memory. It is also the same dimensions as the original Galaxy Note, so a mount designed for that should work.

Thanks mate.
It's slightly over my budget.

hi guys.
i've just received my phone after 21 days but there are a few problems.
there is a tiny chip in the screen and in the bottom left of the front surface (but thankfully not on the screen itself) there is what i can only describe as an "air bubble" around 5mm long and 1mm wide.
also, ugood advertise this phone as having an 8mp camera but it is only 5mp.
oh, and the mains charger is not for the uk and no adaptor was supplied.
all of this is a shame because this phone feels great, has an amazing super amoled screen with excellent viewing angles, a vanilla version of ics   and is just so fast compared with my blade!
i also find the 4.3" screen perfect in size and how did i manage up until now without a dual sim slot .
i've informed ugood of the problems and will let you know their response.
at 105gbp all in though, i'll put up with these small issues mainly because of the aggro of returning the item.

if ugood doesn't respond, you can inform alliExpress team about that? ;)If you didn't give positive feedback yet, i think they (ugood) will answer they want your money

I ordered my thl W3+ from Best Android Tablet  store on alliExpress... I think i will receive it in next two days... Now it's in custom office in my town (I need to pay taxes   after they call me for this )...I will see will all be in one piece or...

cheers mate.
i'll wait a bit longer before posting feedback.
good luck with your w3+

I tend to avoid unbranded clone devices for those very reason - the built quality is normally very low. But on the plus side, that device looks to have a great price!

[gitf@ce]

I'm now glad I didn't go down the cheap Chinese route. I can do without dodgy traders selling me iffy goods and then ignoring my emails, let alone the hassle of Customs and Excise trying to fry my balls for all they can get... nah!

[lineone]

yeah, great price for what you get and build quality perfectly acceptable.
one little touch i really like is the all enveloping back cover.
it's as good as having a protection cover without the bulk.
very clever

it certainly is a risky route to take.
i hope my experience helped you decide.
personally, i'm not sure whether i'd go down that way again

there's another problem too.
indoor performance of 3g is, frankly, hopeless.
that's using the same sim card and giffgaff settings straight out of my san francisco which has no indoor 3g issues at all.
from my experience then, don't buy this phone or use this dealer

6 days now since my first correspondence to ugood after receiving my phone and still no response from them.
they have four contact names but not one of them is ever available on chat

Hi All,
just a bit of info I have found etotalk.com very reliable and trustworthy. just purchased a Jiayu G3 and it was in my hands in 6 working days! fantastic screen! they can be a little more expensive, but a g3 in stock! good customer service questioned ask answered immediately (allowing for time difference)
