I could not agree more with this comment OP. I get sick and tired of seeing deals trashed on the altar of personal opinion rather than the real point, that is, that if just one person sees a post like this and decides it is right for them, then the OP deserves support for posting and the site has fulfilled its true purpose. The buyer will decide if they are happy with the product and the price offered. Surely that's what counts.

Sure, constructive and negative comments are fine if they are based on some semblance of fact and are at the very least couched in a way that doesn't just disrespect the OP or other members that like his/her post. I've no idea yet whether or not this post will lead to a purchase, but I so agree with 'ihatebingo' that I am compelled to comment and give heat.

Wait for my comment to get dissed now. No problem. Point made and I won't feel bad for making it.

Totally disagree!
Remove the cold button, remove the freedom of choice. People vote how they want to. Just because you happen to disagree doesn't make them wrong and you right.

sounds like a great idea, so when all the fanboi's or robots etc all vote up something that is blooming awful, their is no way to regulate it. great idea :wink: While your there, perhaps you would like to take away democracy aswell?

totally agree. This site would be better off without the cold button.
People on here destroy what could often be a good deal by following the trend of cold voting.

From when I bought it there are now several official roms with active maintainers. You could even say it's slightly better supported than the Mi 5 in some cases.

Excellent phone anyway, good to see a load of the 820 Chinaphones coming to Sub 150 or thereabouts.

I'm finding it hard to figure out what to replace my Samsung Galaxy S5 with, Lenovo, Xiaomi...

Anyone had issues with the last 2cm of the touch screen not working?
Did read some people fixed it with an update, but I'm positive it's a fault with the digitizer..

ihatebingo to Dawsy

6 May 17 #7

I read that somewhere a couple of weeks a go from someone on here.think it was just one person who had the problem.still waiting for mine been two weeks now and starting to get peed off

joshtbh to Dawsy

7 May 17 #19

I had this fault and haven't yet managed to get a refund from PayPal via bang good. You wouldn't believe the hoops they've had me jumping through.

I thought I fixed it at one point by flashing the Chinese stock rOM but it came back and it made the phone unusable

I'm now completely torn as to whether to take another punt on this (when it worked i absolutely loved it) with a credit card instead of PayPal or go to the three shop and get a P2

Never heard of them either but they seem to be an offshoot of dx.com (dealextreme). Not bought from there for ages but never had any problems with dx in the past.

what's the battery life like?

Does this phone run 3g or above on both SIMs?

rimz790 to balsingh458

7 May 17 1 #26

First sim slot is upto 4g (minus band 20) and the second sim slot is upto 3g from what I read in the review linked by 'spole' above http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/editor-review/509e1c

Sold my Note 4 to music magpie for £155 and bought this phone for £131 from banggood. Using the Moto E (2nd Gen) whilst I am waiting for my ZUK Z2 to arrive and I have to admit, the E is a pretty good handset for a budget phone and the reviews out there backs up that claim!

It goes to show that getting all these high end smartphones are good if you're going to be constantly watching videos, taking photos/videos and playing games providing you have the budget to do so. Other than that, for me, if you need a smartphone to do whatsapp/instagram and the ilk, browse the internet and make general calls, these good spec'd budget/chinese branded phones are more than enough!

Seeing how you hukd'ers are going the good sim only deals with these good spec'd chinese branded phones route, has made me skip getting a new branded phone on contract. I decided the Note 4 will be the last and bought the ZUK Z2 :smile:

louiselouise to rimz790

7 May 17 #32

That's the phone I have (Note 4) but it's moving on to a lesser camera that puts me off - how does the camera compare?

SPLE22

7 May 17 #28

did you know that Lenovo are folding the ZUK portion of there business and focussing on the Moto G brand instead!!! I would expect these phones to be ALOT LESS based on that business decision.

nublets2k to SPLE22

7 May 17 #41

That's speculation from analysts who work for an unrelated company. There's absolutely nothing from Lenovo to support this.

My understanding is that Volumerate is part of deal extreme and makes it for shipping to EU direct with Free Expedited delivery. Gets the delivery down to around 7-15 days from what I have read. However you do pay an additional shipping charge, so probably not much more value than buying direct from deal extreme?

No B20, Big Negative. Buy Zuk z2 pro. Same phone but with B20.

rimz790

7 May 17 #33

From the reviews I read the Z2 camera seems to get good feedback, just the night time/low light photos aren't great...this review shows photo examples http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/editor-review/509e1c

louiselouise

7 May 17 1 #34

Maybe I'm asking too much but just the fact it doesn't take good low light pictures is enough to put me off! I don't mind paying more for a decent camera - not sure any of these China phones have capable cameras to be honest.

My sister has the ZTE Axon Elite and it similarly struggles in low light.

(Had a look though, and the photo samples do look pretty good).

balsingh458

7 May 17 #39

What is band 20?? Keep reading about it but which networks does it relate to etc?

ultrak3wl to balsingh458

7 May 17 3 #42

Digital phones (2G) originally used the 800Mhz radio band (band 20) but then as popularity took off there were blocks of higher frequencies made available. The higher the frequency the more the data rate so 4G likes to use these newer bands. The upside of band 20 however is that despite it's theoretical less data capacity it penetrates buildings very well, hence the networks using it for 4G in some areas. Where I live it means the difference between signal and no signal.

Can't find the Zuk Z2 in black anywhere. Looks like production of this phone has ended. Lenovo has announced no Z3. Great phone for the money. Hate white phones personally.

Uridium

7 May 17 1 #43

I almost replaced my note 4 with a ZUK2 but in the end I went with a Lenovo P2 , camera not quite as good as the old Galaxy Note 4 but the build quality and MASSIVE battery life on the P2 more than make up for it. With Low to mid range phones as good as these that Lenovo are releasing buying a Flagship nowadays is a mugs game....
the P2 does use the lower SD625 CPU but in reality unless you like to play Benchmark bragging bingo you'd never know the difference. the slower SD625 also sips battery juice. I'm seeing 3 days between charges on my P2 :smirk:

7 May 17 #44

this or the Xiaomi Note 4 to replace my Huawei Ascend Mate 7?

bigpappa69 to freccle

8 May 17 #60

I went for the Xiaomi note 4 for the 20 odd quid saving, the bigger screen and bigger battery (no quick charge, though).

the only problem i have is that when im on a call
and try leave the screen the call mutes itself and i have to press speaker icon twice

Would all UK mobile network work on this phone?

litwoojczyznomoj to happydeals

7 May 17 1 #51

Yes. Due to lack of band 20 instead of getting 4G Internet you would only get 3G Internet in some areas on some networks. 3G data should be fine for everything apart from watching lots of video content.

fantastic phone for the price. had mine for a couple of months now, used more than half the memory up and its still as snappy as ever. One major gripe.... mine has malware that I'm unsure how to get rid off (not confident on rooting)

Some of these phones are absolutely staggering value for money!

I don't think Apple and Samsung are going to be able to fool people into paying so much money for long now that smartphones are pretty mature products - there aren't really any major invovations likely that justify spending 7, 8 x the price of phones like this one.

estjaydee to Pete95

7 May 17 #56

Nah majority of people are still sheep unfortunately.. youd be surprised at how many people i know just laugh at my lg g3 with comments like 'don't they make washing machines?'.... all the while stupidly paying £45 monthly contracts for their latest Samsung or apple... never even contemplating the fact the g3 could even be just as good.. oh well i'm paying £8 a month.. I'm still having the last laugh.

Have to agree that Chinese phones rock! Similar money alternative for those looking for band 20 / GG. http://www.volumerate.com/product/oukitel-k6000-plus-5-5-octa-core-4g-phone-w-4gb-ram-64gb-rom-gray-852462029?
Have mine a couple of weeks now. Very good build quality. Runs on android 7. It's maybe a tad chunky (6000 mAh battery with quick charger), but for those of us who value all day/several day performance over sleekness... so far it's a champ!

So in your opinion, if I'm not tech savvy, would you recommend getting this? Sounds like I'd have to mess around with it to get updates etc.

iDealYou to ColiG

9 May 17 #66

I don't recommend it if you not confident with flashing ROMs.
Only Indian & Chinese official ROMs get updates ... which you need to flash by yourself or get some mate to do it for you.

If you are willing to do a little bit of reading before you begin the process, it really isn't difficult, but if drivers, and the odd typing of a command are not something you can age to, it's not your bag.
But really it's an enjoyable learning process if you open your mind to it.
