box_l Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Original mobilephone LTE Android 4G lte phone 4g network smartphone unlocked 2gb MT6595 Octa core 2GHz Android 5 Inch HD Screen-in Mobile Phones from Electronics on Aliexpress.com This looks like the phone I want, but it looks too good to be true. The spec details the new mtk6595 chip for 4G LTE which is my main criteria. I would have the UMI x3 but it is far too big for me, even this is a bit on the big side IMHO. Any thoughts? Anybody know of other manufacturers using this chip yet? BoX 1
SYNACK Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 8x1.6GHz cores, doing a little Folding@home on the move?
Dos_Box Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks for posting that up. I've been waiting for phones with MTK6595 to arrive for some time now. They are due to be a game changer in bringing the price of smartphones down to consumer levels. It'll be interestng to see how it holds up. If you do get one, let us know how you get on with it please. Oh, and tell us how good the retailer is as well. Always handy to know when buying from China.
fairm010 Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Has anyone read the description by the retailer? Nothing like a bit of Chinglish!

Not sure about the Expandable storage with MicroSD Card too. Please report back.
mats Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Looking forward to hearing what the battery life is like!
Dos_Box Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 You have to remember guys that this is a 'China phone'. I've had two now and tbh, they have both done exactly what they have said on the tin. They are never of the most recent spec, but this new MediaTek chipset should be a great leveller. They do cut corners to keep costs down such as using Bluetooth 2.0 instead of 4.x and incorporating low storage capacities; relying on SD cards to bump this up. However, both phones I've ordered and used have done sterlign serivce and are both going strong. Battery life is the same as per mainstream smartphones and you will have to charge them everyday if you have all of the bells and whistles turned on, however they also have the benefit of having removable batteries and often you will get two of them! Oh, and not one, to date, has caught fire 1

featured_spectre Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I've ordered one as well..its a fantastic phone for £110+£20 shipping. Will do a review of it when it arrives.

LeMarchand Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I'd be interested in a "real person" review when people get theirs.
featured_spectre Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I'm still waiting for the money to be taken from my account (I set up a second account for these things) and the money is still there. Think they may have pulled it, but I have yet to get an email either way.

box_l Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Mine has apparently been shipped! Looking forward to seeing what it can do. It is not the octo core specifically, but the 9695 chip with the LTE built in that I want. Box
featured_spectre Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 What you mean by second account ? Pay pal? No, I spoke with my bank, set up another bank account. If I make purchases that are foreign or I do not know the source, I use that account, as it has limited funds and only has what I put in from my main account. 1

jinnantonnixx Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) My wallet's shut for the moment, but I've got my beady on a Moto G - are these better phones? Edited May 29, 2014 by jinnantonnixx
box_l Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Well, it arrived. But, It was NOT the phone I was looking for. it is one of these Original OFONE P7 5.0 inch screen Octa Core 2.0G Dual SIM Android smartphone 13MP In stock Free Shipping-in Mobile Phones from Electronics on Aliexpress.com And on top of that, the Phone processor is not as advertised. It is supposed to be MTK6595 It reports as a MTK6592 in some tools. It reports as MTK6572 faked as a MTK6592 in others. MTK6572 is only a Dual core This is advertised as Octo core. Cheap phone with fake and incorrect sales information! Will post more when the dispute is resolved. Box 1
LeMarchand Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Well, it arrived. But, It was NOT the phone I was looking for. Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that it looks like you've been ripped off .
