Guest Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) NEO N003 looks interesting. 1.5GHz MTK6589T, 1080p, OGS, OTG, HDMI (MHL), F2.2 Rear camera. 3000mAh battery. Allegedly $206 from lightake on pre-order for the 1GB/4GB version or $273 for the 2G/32G version. Aparenty release has been delayed until 25/7 now because of the turbo upgrade. http://forum.lightak...22&TopicID=2715 http://lightake.com/...GB_Black_-64088 If it really is going to be that price then its on my shortlist! Anyone one know what dev support would be like? Edited July 3, 2013 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Another place to buy it The problem is the way I understand it, the 1.2GHz version was never released, they upgraded it to the 1.5GHz version which won't be released until 25/7, so any place claiming to have stock is wrong.

Guest dakok Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 No, it is released, most probably, but it is the same story as with UMI x2, and maybe other phones. They produce their new model with mtk6589T soc (read: Suddenly Overclocked Chip :)) and then they keep silent about previous 1.2MHz variant. Look at the topic on neo`s n003 official forum - N003 is 1.2MHz there. I bet you`ll have both variants to choose :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JetKun Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) Right, after google translating 4PDA.RU, I plumped for a Jiayu G4 at Touch-Us.com... there were literally zero phones that fulfilled my needs :P edit: now just waiting for track...seems to be lots of screenshots on the forum there to show the deliveries and great bubble wrap packaging http://cs3-1.4pda.to/3154759.jpg http://cs3-1.4pda.to/3154087.jpg comes with OTG! moar edit: http://cs3-1.4pda.to...a59187505a614ec http://cs3-3.4pda.to...cd5b1603afa6b3a http://cs3-2.4pda.to/3154066/20130702_212749.jpg?0033409f2e410a3e51d49507000000001f5da8923b4042c8a94cf92a4944684a Edited July 3, 2013 by JetKun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Alpha Gamer Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 My contract is due up at the end of this month and I was browsing around for a phone I can actually afford, and then I stumble onto a review here of a chinese phone. Now I've always had the expectation that Chinese knockoffs are either going to steal all your info, or break within a month. Is that not the case these days? Are Chinese phones really a valid alternative? I'd love to get a phone that is actualy better than my current phone, is afforadable AND comes in a spiffy colour instead of just black or white, which seems possible with Chinese phones.

Guest Maringer Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 The Xiaocai X9 looks very nice. It doesn't have a microSD card slot or MHL which is what I was really looking for but I'm still very tempted! Just need to wait for it to come out and check it works OK and I might take a punt on one. At that price, why not? Perhaps need to get myself an Android stick to use as a media player if I can't use a phone for the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Chinese phones are better than the well known companies. For colours, you look at the tcl idol x phones. One of the best of Chinese phones. It is a subsidiary of well known alcatel company... Other makes are also good but not much colours according to your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Alpha Gamer Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Ok, what I need is Something better than my current Sony Xperia U Needs to work on 3 network for 3g ICS or JB 4.x inch screen Play Store as stock Preferably a blue back For around £100. Could go a bit higher if I need to. What phone do I want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rico_89 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Others here have a better knowledge of these phones but, the 5" HD Vowney V5 I ordered from Merimobiles is on another level to anything I have used previously, so I would say definitely go quad core as it will run apps super slick. Here's one I was looking at, but I just wanted a bigger screen and an HD display as well I dont know if it has a front facing camera.; http://www.merimobil..._p/meri9016.htm It's 4.5" so it's not small and I would guess that if you pay extra for Merimobiles to root and install google play store then you should be able to get it for around £105 to £110 with a coupon code like: MOE, FACEBOOK, five. Now I'm not saying to get this one but just have a look and I'm sure others will suggest different phones as well.

Guest Maringer Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I don't really see the point of a phone with a screen of 4.5" plus which isn't at least 720p resolution so that Lenovo wouldn't be a good pick. Otherwise, it would be a pretty decent spec. Perhaps Lenovo will release a similar phone but with a 720p screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just it being 5" worries me a little, it seems so big for a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trashbat Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 dakok, could you give an estimate of the release of the x9? 3 months/6 months? I see that merimobiles have it on pre order for $299 and fastcardtech at $99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jetpac Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Ive been having a look through this thread and learned a lot... but what is the best phone for ~£100 delivered that is 900 band enabled for the UK? Wife needs a new phone, no bigger than the samsung galaxy nexus.... saw the FAFE F1.. any mor info from anyone who has that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, it would be a pretty decent spec. Perhaps Lenovo will release a similar phone but with a 720p screen? You're probably right but I was thinking of the budget and I would sacrifice a lot for a quad core device, although I spent just over £117 for my v5 , so I guess its not that much more. So far the Vowney V5 in blue is the one I've found that I like the most. It's just it being 5" worries me a little, it seems so big for a phone. In terms of size, well check out this post I made a few pages back: http://www.modaco.co...60#entry2133475 And also have a look through the V5 forum: http://www.modaco.co.../744-vowney-v5/ Edited July 8, 2013 by Rico_89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that merimobiles have it on pre order for $299 and fastcardtech at $99 I guess it should be out very soon. Xiaocai released g6 model just as they anounced it. So I guess they are more reliable than UMI (x2) or Jiayu (g4). Did you check Etotalk`s offer?

These are models that work at 900MHz on 3g: ZTE v970 Umi X1 BW-MK511 Lenovo A789 ZT X315e Haipai I9277 ZX-I9300 Xiaomi M2A Xiaomi M1s ZTE V970 ZTE V976s ZTE V987 Meizu MX Lenovo LePhone A789 Lenovo A820 Lenovo A830 Lenovo LePhone P700 HUAWEI U8836D HUAWEI G525 Beidou Hot Pepper M1 YBeidou Hot Pepper LA-Q1 TCL P606 Maybe I made a mistake or two, but most of these are 900/2100MHz models Btw, Faea F1 is a great phone :) Edited July 8, 2013 by dakok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maringer Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm waiting for the Gizchina review which seems to be taking some time. I'm tempted to try the F1 although it doesn't support MHL and won't be much faster than my current phone. I reckon I could use this for a while until something better comes along. For my media playback requirements, I'm thinking about buying a cheap Android stick. Another toy to play with. :) I'm also interested in the Xiaocai X9 which looks pretty good as well.
