I've got the Ulefone Be Touch 2. The performance is good, but it chews through battery. If you search for "Be Touch 2 battery" on Google, I'm sure you will find the threads and posts complaining about it. Either the battery is of poor quality or there is a software bug somewhere, even after updating. With my use, I could barely get though a day on the Be Touch 2 (3050mAh) whereas my Note 3 (3200mAh) can get 2+ days with my use.
Other complaints, the touch screen is not as sensitive. It works fine when you are doing an at a glance test, but in daily use, you will notice, swiping up will stop prematurely or it doesn't seem to follow your finger as accurately or smoothly as you would expect. The speaker is so bloody weedy, it sounds like a speaker on the other side of the channel tunnel heard though an ear trumpet.
The low light shooting of the camera was appalling, but does fine in daylight. Its plusses, it did dual sim very well and had a comparable signal to my Note. The screen is good and colours were fine. Build is fine, materials cheap as you would expect but no weird gaps or flex in the phone.
Forget about support. They promised monthly updates but following the release of the Paris, there has been nothing for the Be Touch 2, even the Be Touch 3 which is practically identical, with the same hardware and chassis, has seen updates where the Be Touch 2 has not.
Don't know about warranty, I've not called on it. I am skeptical about doubling the battery and having the added weight when poor quality cells or software will bump you back down to the life of a normal phone. There is little support for these on sites like XDA and in a short time, even less from the manufacturer themselves.
So it is a cheap phone and in some places, you will notice it. My advice, be wary of expecting a massive increase in battery life and there will be small niggles that could eventually wind you up. It is cheap and that is what you should expect.

A lot of phone for the money and I'd be tempted but currently no case or screen protector available wouldn't last five minutes in my hands but very hot for the spec.

You can go to a Vodafone shop and for £15 they custom fit a zag zig (or something ) screen protector.

Do these phones perform as well as they sound like they should and how reliable are they?
Also how do you go with regards to warranty?

Always wait for it to come on Amazon, purchase it if it's Amazon fulfilled. Then it is easy to make returns if anything goes wrong.

I wanted to ask the same as above. On paper these phones look great but they seem almost too Good to be true. I've not bought a phone in the last several years that I wasn't able to try out in my hands myself. I'm also concerned about warranty and ultimate resale value since I always trade or sell up before I move on to a new device

forget the resell unless ebay at at a massive loss they simply don't hold the value like known brands do even if looked after well, however considering these prices I consider them disposable purchases wil buy a new one play with it for 8 months or so then give to family or friend and buy another with latest spec, means you get to play with lots of new phones and features still for less than a traditional 24 month contract...works for me!

With a battery this large, wonder if it has the feature to charge another smartphone/tablet via micro USB?

Removable battery?

I have the ulefone touch2 which has a removable battery(3100) with a 1.7 CPU Gorilla glass screen protector etc.. Brilliant device. Buy one. Oh, it also carges from 0 to 35% in 15 mins which is very useful.

Another Sim+Sim or Sim+Memeory card set-up.
Otherwise the specs do look pretty decent, plus an IR port.

How do these compare to the Redmi Note 3, performance wise. I do know redmi 3 is more expensive BTW.

This hasn't been released yet, so not sure how anyone would be able to compare it with others. The only reviews seem to be ones detailing the available specs, rather than hands on use.
