Hi Guys, I've read a bit about how Xiaomi are apparently going to be launching in the UK, but I've seen this info for some time and not really found anything concrete about what their plans are... I know it will be in partnership with Three and on the Poco launch I saw that this is planned to...

Hi All, I've picked up a bit of a bargain phone called a Cubot Manito. It cost me £72 from Gearbest which seems to be the cheapest price for a 3GB phone around, however please feel free to do some research to find your favoured vendor. Please see below for a little review of the phone. Basic...

Hi All, Might be useful for some. I bought my Redmi 3S from Mod Edit: Selling site link removed. It comes with the Google suite preinstalled, so no messing around with ROMs or trying to sideload Google Play Store. It was very reasonably priced at around £115 and was delivered within 3 weeks...

Hi, Stupid question alert, am reading for the flaming I no doubt deserve. What causes the variance in antutu scores for the same device? Is it based on the condition of the phone? As in, a phone that has very few apps installed would score higher than the same model with lots of apps? Or...

Thanks for the comment. I've had one occasion where an area of the screen seemed to be unresponsive but this was resolved with a restart. I've not had any 4g problems but am in built up areas most of the time. The camera performance is the biggest issue and if not resolved would be the one...

Hi All, First review so please be kind. I have also posted this at Mod Edit: Link removed. HomTom HT10 - The eyes have it? HomTom is a brand who are trying to make a name for themselves by releasing devices at a low price point with interesting features. In reality, HomTom is a...

I have the phone, the camera is not that great. Decent sensor but too much smoothing. Hopefully can be fixed with a software update.

Just because I'd been looking forward to getting a new phone since Feb and it doesn't look like I'm ever going to see a V2 in the wild I took an easy option and paid about £75 for the Elephone P6000. Not that I'm in any way suggesting it is an alternative to the V2, or even that it is anywhere...

To be fair the SD 801 is still one of the best SoC's out there, pound for pound, despite showing its age. With some well-optimised hardware this could still do a perfectly good job for a couple of years, if the package was delivered at the right price. ---------- Post added at 09:44 AM...

I think at this point it's clear the game is up. I got my refund in early April, and the money is still sat there in my account waiting for a phone to turn my head like the V2 did. Nothing else has interested me yet. Sadly, the audience doesn't lie and nobody can be bothered to even post...

There is suggestion on the interweb that the Axon is another sub brand of ZTE, which means that it is likely to eventually exist, though the lack of firm specs at this time suggest we're a good few months away from seeing it at least. Don't know why ZTE would release a further sub brand when...

Lenovo Vibe Shot - has 5 inch screen, 3gb ram, Android 5, quality camera. Available on grey import, apparently Amazon US offers this now too. Good price, I don't know much about Lenovo's Android skin, question marks about the Snapdragon 615 SoC, apparently suffers from similar heat issues as...

If the rumours are to be believed, the Asus Zenfone 2 has a new version that has 128gb internal storage, to complement the 4gb RAM. Many XDA users have confirmed that the device will support a 128gb Micro SD even though official stats only quote 64gb (this is pretty common though) I also...

Honestly I'd go for the Z1 Compact over Z3C, that must be even cheaper and since I 'upgraded' I've not noticed any real benefit other than the slightly bigger screen, and the build quality of the Z1C is much better :) Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/06/15/saygus-delays-the-v-squared-yet-again-launches-mega-suspicious-indiegogo-campaign/ Probably a fair summary. I'm still borderline interested but the processor still worries me, it will be positively midrange by the time anyone has the phone in their...
