Hot, have been looking for the black/dark blue version coming into Eu stock. Think the black border round the screen will be less noticeable than on white. Gave up and ordered from banggood on the slow boat from China, hopefully marshmallow update will by out by the time arrives. Really like the wooden effect back and found them on aliexpress, so hopefully will have a blue/black/ wood power with marshmallow....

I really like this phone. I was using one of these and a moto x force, but got rid of the Motorola as I was barely using it.

Says £126 when displayed in £.

No stock of the wooden one in the EU warehouse now, and black/blue is also oos and more expensive.

I bought this phone to try the Android system as i have always had iphones. Really good phone and was getting used to the Android OS and how customisable it is, unfortunately its a bit to big to fit in my pocket when riding my motorbike so have gone back to the Iphone although i have kept this as a spare and use it for games and apps that i cant get on the IOS like Kodi etc. Would recommend if you are after a big phone

cracking phone.. brilliant battery life.
had mine two months now and no complaints.

Get trousers with bigger pockets? Or put the phone in your bag perhaps?


I don't think it's as easy as swap the backs over is it? The back looks quite integral to my (fairly untrained) eye.

Any know where to to buy a good screen protector and case for this mobile i have just bought!!

Thanks guys i just bought mine today from gearbest hopefully mine will come with it

Not interested in the phone but it has to be said that battery is amazing. I wish more phones had batteries like that.

If you don't mind waiting longer from the China warehouse, it is only $159.98 (ends in 20 hours) and with all versions (White/Black/Wood) available! http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_230567.html

Had this phone a couple of weeks now, very happy with it overall. Uses about 33% battery life per 24 hours, so 3 days if I starve it of a fill-up.

One minor issue is it seems to turn itself off if I keep it in my back pocket sometimes. The power button is a bit easy to compress while it's there.

The phone is good. Sucks for gaming, though. See reviews on youtube.

That whatsapp issue mentioned in the reviews its because those reviewers are idiots.

You can fix that with ease.

shame you cant have 2xsim and a sdcard slot...so many with this phone option of sacrificing one for the other....

For goodness sake just get an iPhone

Wrong Thread!

purchased sick of running out of battery. :smiley:

>>>>>
Nah.. as they lost $50 billion today, do not want to throw good money after bad on an iBone ;-)

Any dual, triple or quad sim ones had/have, we just use one drive / gdrive now rob and make the most
of the dual sim facility, that or an ota stick.. the new android app for onedrive from microsoft is cool
as it auto uploads what you want and you can set the size of the files to get shot of onto the cloud
when you are not using the handset.. freeing up the space etc blah etc..

GearBest ensure you don't get them now by deliberately marking items down in value on customs form to defraud HMRC/UK taxpayer.

If they made a matte black (actual black) I'd be all over this, the bezels just put me off, the reviews of the white model have thick black bezels, which is understandable as the phone has to fit in a huge battery.

I have had this phone for about 2 months now.I am a light user and manage to get 10 days plus on standby before having to recharge. The phone feels quite solidly built apart from the sim card tray,accessed from side by poking supplied key into hole and sliding out the tray. You have the option of using 2 sim cards or 1 sim and one micro sd card.A screen protector and a silicone case were also provided in the box.

How good is the processor?
In comparison to Galaxy S5, which phone would be better?

That trick still works in the UK?

In my country (EU country) that trick to undervalue items on customs declaration (or marking them as "gift") no longer works... Stuff coming from outside EU, specially from China are already under high suspicion that it's counterfeit... So customs usually just opens the package, checks that value doesn't match contents, asks the taxpayer to go to customs and pay VAT + all the fees and charges (very expensive) in order to release it from customs.

6050mAh ???? No way your having a laugh

It works here as the government is stupid and short sighted.

They have an agenda of all departments needing to show cost savings in the name of austerity, so seem to think cutting border and immigration staff to the bone is a good idea. Then when we have fears of terrorism, or simply cannot check the people coming into the country I think they have had to reallocate the people to checking passports to keep the queues down in airports.

So then when it comes to checking what people are declaring and post coming into the country checks seem to be getting rarer and rarer. Country loses the revenue, and as a consumer why buy from a phone shop?

>>>>>
Nope.. and it works like one as well ;-)

Nope and it works ;-)

It sure does. Criminal offence too. HUKD now get referral fees so allow Gear Best deals. Some may say complicit if fraud and tax evasion, but you would get suspended for that. I was. :smiley:

Should this not be expired?

Hi, you can install kodi on iPhone without jailbraking, you just need to re sign app and send to iPhone. I did that on my two iPads and working great.

right ok got my china phone today from uk seller.
box was unsealed but the excuse for this could be that the seller removed the original charger and put in a uk adaptable charger.
have ran malwarebytes and came back clean. ran 360 security and found something "fradulant messanger" or sth but allowed me to click on the resolve button.
i've browsed through the app list under settings and the only one I see which I'm not sure what is is something called "pandora's box" and pandora's box service 3.6mb and 86kb respecively.
under app permissions for the second it basically lists everythings phone calls, texts, camera , audio gps, contacts, set alarm , screen lock, add move acounds, change system settings, change network connections, control flashlight.....

neither can be uninstalled from the phone just force stopped.

does anyone have any idea.

i have googed pandoras box which comes up to be an app BUT in my app tray it doesnt appear so it's NOT the actual app I have installed.

i have this phone and its great, fast no delays and all the stuff you would expect, battery is great.. the only problem is the headset jack for me, the headset jack doesn't work with other head sets, but its minor and bluetooth works great..

for the money its amazing.. we need more phones with bigger batteries.

>>>>>
What you purchased one of these? As these are *EU* or are you talking about something else?

If you have one of these with an opened box and purchased it new, it may have been opened to
put the free screen protector in the box, if so, just get the latest rom from Ulefone and write it to
your handset.. then you will have nothing but a clean *china phone* ;-)

That's lot of phone for money

Does this phone have a sd card slot? seems to say so in the description?

anyone point me in the direction of a decent case for this phone cheers

No it was an infocus m560
I can find a stock rom here
https://androidmtk.com/download-infocus-stock-rom (not sure how trusty the source)
I could try flashing but that assumes the issue isn't within that original rom and was added by the 3rd party seller which I'm not sure is the case
....I'm not sure what my other options are
Do I have to root in order to flash the stock rom?

OOS & up to £136.71.

Suggestion I read is that it is designed for the mic extra ring jack, so taking a dremel to the headphone plug may work. Think it may have been on the fulfilled by Amazon thread. Maybe look for a short extension & dremel that as a tester?

I've had this phone for a week, got it through Amazon, paid more, £140 but have more piece of mind. Love the phone, took it off charge yesterday morning, screen on time is currently 8 hours and 20% battery left! BTW, if you want to disable haptic keyboard, hold the comma down for settings, then it's under the advanced settings!

The Amazon vendor supplied a euro plug adapter for the charger, which is amazingly fast, from 30% to full (4000mAh) in 1h 40 mins!

>>>>>
Brilliant, is that after one charge and showing 8+ hours left, eg: you charged it and then used it without
plugging it back in again? If so, amazing! I just added a black one here cheap as a deal so will be able
to compare battery specs next week!

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/black-stock-get-ulefone-power-4g-fdd-lte-3g-wcdma-smartphone-android-5-1-lollipop-2439759

I took it off charge yesterday morning( at 100%), I haven't charged it since, I pulled the notification bar down twice, to show the battery, pressed that, then pressed screen, to see how long the screen has been on, which was 8 hours with it still having 20% battery left.
Update: 8 hours 45 mins screen on time and 14% battery left!

The silicone one it comes in is OK but is clear, so will soon look dirty, as I found out myself with another phone! I bought a wallet type one but you have to use double sided tape supplied to bond the phone to the case, wtf! Cases for this phone seem very limited, if you find one please let me know too!

Can you get this same spec of phone with a smaller screen?

The update to Marshmallow had been delayed again but there are links to install 64bit beta http://blog.ulefone.com/update-on-ulefone-power-android-6-0-beta-version-final-version-postponed-but-coming-soon/

Just a warning to those looking at this phone. I bought one about 2 months ago. It seemed pretty good, but I noticed that after a minor knock the phone would reset.
I didn't think a big deal of it but then I dropped my phone about 2 foot onto the floor. Its not worked since.
I've seen plenty of comments on XDA about the low build quality of this phone - It's the first time I've seen a phone break from general use. I've dropped a phone from 8 foot, and had another phone be run over my a landrover and still work. But this phone couldn't handle a drop of 2 foot! The outside of the phone looks like new, it just doesn't work anymore.

Be careful basically. Its costing me £25 to send back to China for a replacement - via Gearbest.

How long are these taking to arrive when ordered from the EU?

>>>>>
Installed and smooth for a beta, would imagine that they will go straight to Android Nogurt 7 and miss Marshmallow 6.0.1, as they have tons of dev coders doing bits&bobs on each rom update.. hence the quickness! Maybe they all
could go and work for Samsung's dev team!

From what I've been reading other Ulefone owners if other models, I don't think the Power will get another update, Ulefone don't seem to be very good at any form of support, even though the phone was only released less than 4 months ago. The Power will be forgotten, as they focus in their latest flagship device, the Future.

any one on ebay reputable to get this from
