We previewed it, then we we posted the unboxing and initial thoughts, and now that we’ve had a few days to play with the MTK6592 Zopo zp980+, we’ll get a bit deeper into our experience with the phone.
Interesting that we received a 1GB/32GB model as opposed to what’s advertised by Zopo and on the box. (more…)
In terms of first impressions, Zopo has it down. Possibly even a step above the impressive iNew V3. While the iNew V3 holds a unique and classy look all it’s own, the Zopo ZP980+ gives it a good run and commands some respect with it’s excellent matte back which shuns fingerprints. (more…)
One of the most important aspects of choosing a phone, for some people, is getting a model that takes decent shots. Today we bring you similar shots from 3 recent popular phones. The MT6582 iNew v3, the MT6592 ZP980+ and the MT6592 H9008 / Mlais MX69T Pro. (more…)
Recently we received the Hero Star H9008 MT6592. We decided to review this phone because of quad-band WCDMA inclusion.
We’re surprised this gem hasn’t garnered more attention, but at least some of you out there can understand our excitement over a phone with quad-band WCDMA. I haven’t lived in America for over 7 years, but I still am giddy over this new phone released by Mlais and Hero / Star. This is truly a ‘day’ that will go down in China brand history. The first MTK China brand with quad-band WCDMA. It doesn’t hurt that the H9008 is well built and solid, with a crisp, bright LCD, very strong WiFi, and quick GPS. (more…)
We’ve written several articles regarding Xiaomi releasing ‘European’ models to cater to the Euro market. There are some false rumors going around that the Xiaomi Hongmi is coming with WCDMA frequencies that will allow it to use 3G in all countries. This is absolutely not true. The MT6582 Xiaomi Hongmi comes with 900/2100. 3G will not operate in 90% of the Americas. This means North, Central and South. The Hongmi unfortunately doesn’t have 850MHz 2G either, which further reduces its useability in the Americas. (more…)
One of the most asked questions on the forum is ‘how to make custom recovery / CWM for MT6575, MT6515, MT6577, MT6517, MT6589, MT6582, MT6588, MT6592, *MT6572’ (*NOT For MT6572 with UBIFS type EMMC). (more…)
Soon to be launched is the MT6582 Gionee M2. It will have 1GB RAM and 4GB storage/ROM. The LCD will be 5.0″@480p. SD slot is included for adding memory. Profile will be 10.5mm. (more…)
In December 2013, Xiaomi released the Red Rice Hongmi phone with MT6589T SoC. This was big for Xiaomi and MTK since it was their first cooperation. (more…)
About a month back we wrote about Huawei coming out with a new line of phones – the 3c and the 3x. The 1GB version of the Huawei Glory 3C has completed 3 rounds of sales. With all units selling out in just a few minutes with each round. (more…)
Now that we’ve had the phone for several weeks, we’re in a better position to judge it. After several weeks, we’re still able to say it’s an awesome China phone. (more…)
Many are looking forward to the Jiayu F1, a 399 yuan entry level phone from the company that’s been a great name in China brands over the last several years.

We just recently made a post about the specs of LTE/4G Umi X3. It turns out the MTK6592 Umi X3 will be coming with 2GHz CPU as opposed to 1.7GHz. (more…)
