"Talking of wireless, Chromecast is supported along with cast screen. The Honor 6 has an infra red blaster that is not documented nor does it come with any software installed for it. Yet a quick search on XDA Developers revealed a bespoke app made by Huawei that works a treat. I had tried a few other Infra Red remote apps but none of them worked apart from Huawei’s own app."
uleFone Power is a much higher spec and £40 less on GearBest. :wink:

I know, I've got one.And a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2.
But a lot of folk won't know or trust the brand or want to risk importing from China. Although I got mine in 8 days from order at £125 delivered and dodged all VAT and import charges. This is just £40 more and is fulfilled by Amazon.
The Ulefone is also quite a bit bigger in screen size (5.5" is the sweet spot for me, not for everyone though) and a lot thicker and weightier due to the 6Amp battery. The audio output from the 3.5mm jack is also a bit quiet even with 15Ohm impedance earbuds.

I have the uleFone and the build quality and ROM exceeds anything I've had from HTC and Samsung in the past, and for a Chinese maker that's saying something.
To be fair uleFone is well regarded/established in the East, it's just in the West people don't trust the brand if it's not Apple/Samsung/LG/HTC/Sony etc. :stuck_out_tongue:
PS EngineerMode lets you tweak mic levels, I had to boost normal as people said I sounded quiet. :smiley:

It's also totally vanilla android which some folk just love.
I fully agree with you fella. I think it's an extraordinary bit of kit for £125 and superbly built on a metal chassis. Over the coming year UK folk will get accustomed to the idea that Chinese phones are the same as Apple or Samsung or HTC, just without the expensive ad campaigns and silly margins that make the equivalent phone £300-£600.

It's really very impressive. It's also very nice in the hand - curved edges of a sort - feels very good. Weighty though.

Where did you get your Ulefone power from? any links?
I got away with no VAT and no import duties by asking them to mark it as worth £79. This MAY attract some charges if it gets inspected but IME, you really get done for charges if you go silly by asking it to be marked as a gift with a stupid low value. £79 for a Chinese phone is very feasible and they won't bother checking the actual model and cost.
Hope you enjoy the Ulefone Power! Glad to be of help!
