Brilliant phone for the price. Great deal!

Nice find. This is a great phone. Very easy to root and add a new rom. Tons of options over at xda developers.

Hahaha :smiley:

Anyone got this? What's the battery life ?

I've got the rock with similar specs and a 3000mah battery struggles to last the day. I ended up leaving this for albeit much lower spec HT6 with a 6250mah battery. Its an animal..

Reviews on YouTube recon battery life is good

2G only apparently. But otherwise looks good.

Ulefone Power might be a better bet, same spec but 6000mAh battery.

What are Banggood like to buy from? Chance of import fees on top?

Can be picked up for about £75 on ebay

2G:GSM 900/1800/1900MHz
3G:WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
4G:FDD-LTE B1/3/7
TD-LTE B38/39/40/41

They're good, I've bought many things from them including 1 phone and 4 tablets and I've never been charged import duty

Will this work on the uk networks at 4G anyone??

Sounds similar to the Vodafone Ultra.

Possible fake?

Where does it say 2G only? Maybe if you only read the first part of the whole sentence :neutral_face:

This phone will only work with 2G: GSM B2/3/8 3G: WCDMA B1/2/5/8, TD-SCDMA B34/39 4G: FDD-LTE B1/3/7, TD-LTE B38/39/40/41

The battery is HORRIBLE! And the keypad lost touch sensitivity around the edges one in a while and phone would have to be reset. Was quite a comment fault in this phone

​proberly ment 2gb ram

Any deals for the smart ultra 6 knocking about?

Quidco too

It says dual sim I would say stay a mile away

I have one of these phones and its a great piece of kit but since the update I can't access play store.

Using mine now. Very happy with it. Would like a better battery as struggles on busy days (but easy to stick in a spare). Would also like a fingerprint sensor and better camera. Would probably look at the redmi note 3 pro at around £110 for these reasons, but haven't got one to compare!

Don't buy... major touch screen issues and no services. Been though 2 in 6 months and now the 3rd is on the blink.

Sigh.
Stick to the Smart Ultra 6 guys.
Even the Smart Ultra 7 is coming out soon.
UK warranty and support!

I got one of these from China a year ago. Battery life is rubbish and came with apps that are not removable and keep flashing up Chinese alert boxes (which I always cancel), plus the built-in User Centre is detected as a virus by Kaspersky but it can't be removed as it's integral to the system. I won't use passwords/signup on this phone as I feel it probably contains spyware.
If fact, I am going to try today to add a different rom to see if I can get rid of the spyware and improve battery life. If you look in the comments section of the YouTube videos where they show you how to change the rom, they are full of comments about stuff not working (e.g. "I still have old app shortcuts on screen - they don't work but just annoying being there").
I wouldn't buy another of these.

Lots of these Chinese phones do tell you on the site that you must not update the phone. It invalidates the warranty (ROFL :-) ) and will break some functionality.

Great phone u your not a gamer. It struggles with games, gers hot and starts lagging.

I use this rom on mine: http://www.needrom.com/download/cuoco92-mm-6-0-1621/

What's the problem with it being dual sim? My Moto G 2nd Gen is dual sim, and I use it with an EE and O2 SIM with no issues?

That's actually a major issue really? (when you think about it?).

As having to do that very often will naturally mean that any and all Text Messages both sent/received will be forever be permanently deleted, deleted & deleted again right? (amongst other things ..... ) not good. :-(

I'm typing on this now. Its a decent phone. Sometimes a bit laggy and certainly so with games. Antutu score of 45k makes it seem faster than it is. Battery life is almost a day. Good screen, GPS and audio. Decent for this price because it is well made and reliable. Dual sim is great too.

Camera reviews only so so on the Redmi Note ! Stopped me from buying it

This is Dual sim right? I.E I can put Two Sim cards in it ?

I've ordered for my new work phone. Also a cheap case for it. Hope it's good.

All well and good till it packs up and you have to send it back (in warranty period) at your own cost, to China. Mine been away for 2 months and still no sign of it coming back, despite daily emails. Constant stall tactics, missing, proof of sending etc. All electronics are sent via the Netherlands hence no duty charges.

Hello everyone. I ordered ages ago. No show yet! No tracking ! How bloody long does it take??.

Finally got the phone, half the stuff is in Chinese, loads of crap pre-installed that I can't get rid of, the phone book and messages doesn't work !!!!

I called them, spent hours, they said I have to root, or something...

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP! The phone is un-usable !!

ARGHHH PLEASE SOMEONE HELP....

So the phone came with loads of crappy pre installed apps, and even ADVERTS THAT KEPT POPPING UP!!!!

So I googled and found I could install some new ROM or something and tried doing this by plugging phone into my Mac, it was supposed to get rid of all the apps and adverts and other crap that nobody wants( WHY WOULD A NEW PHONE COME WITH THIS ANYWAY ??????) ... but instead I did something wrong, now the Lenovo phone won't even turn on :disappointed:

I think I busted my brand new phone already..

PLEASE HELP

You would be better off asking on XDA.

Please .. anyone.. I think I have "rooted" the phone. But how on earth do I get the clock work mod thing installed on it?

C'Mon.. someone else must have bought this phone. I can't believe how bad it is. Half of in Chinese...

I have logged into Google for my phone book. When people ring me it just comes up with their number, Despite them being in my Google address book!!! WHAT IS THAT ALL ABOUT???

I have never known such crap. I have rang the merchant they don't want to know. i just want my money back :disappointed:
