Any idea what the software is like? i.e close to stock Android?

no band 20 ?

If I'm not mistaken it says fdd lte 800, which is band 20.

90% screen to body ratio :neutral_face:

looks a good deal, is there is band 20.
anyone seen any reviews of it online, camera quality ?

this phone has band 20 on 4G its 800MHz

4G frequencies - Which UK networks will my phone work on?

Review of Bluboo S1

Only 'reviews' I could find, they seem to think they can update once they get 1 delivered, at least that 1 looks like he was @some tech show?

The thumbnail preview of the image looked like a medical procedure. Almost put me off my lunch.

Very tempted, wonder whether there would be any root access available for it and whether it would run PS4 Remote Play?

Another copy of the Xiaomi Mi Mix. Consider also the Doogee Mix.

1080p screen Vs the 720p of the doogee... This seems a bit of a bargain

this promo says should be available for $80, also no headphone jack?
wovow.org/rev…ne/

10 units at 10pm but it's a lie I was trying from 9pm and it's always £124 at the checkout

says 0900UTC which I believe is 10am?
still no headphone jack, unknown company and relatively small battery has me on edge

ordered looks good

spec ive found says headphone socket yes , 3500mah not bad battery size its same size battery as the new Samsung s8 plus and this is not a lot of money for a mid spec phone

I believe its headphone jack is actually via the USB-C charging port, a bit like the iphone 7. I cant see a 3.5mm in the side profile images

i been waiting for umidigi crystal umidigi.com/pag…tml

Thinking of ordering this. What shipping option has anybody that has ordered this gone for?

There's no 3.5 headphone jack, it's just the USB-C port. There's plenty of USB-C to 3.5mm converters on eBay.

I'm very tempted to order this as I was let down by AliExpress regarding my Redmi Note 4 of similar spec (although not as pretty and defo not the same body to screen ratio). Very tempted by this. DHL looks quickest at 3-7 days shipping + processing time etc.

Surprised this isn't getting more heat. Seems like an insane amount of bang for your buck.

I hope you don't get stung with shipping tax using DHL

So is British priority mail the option to go for to avoid customs charges?

The phone is on pre-order, it won't ship intil the 31st of July at best.

Can't seem to edit from my phone. Where does it state this by the way? ​

Thanks. Ordered, paid 125 gbp with few pens via paypal. Cant be bad for this price. Wonder how it will compare to my old lg g3.

I've always found selecting freepostage option (takes around 10-20 days) is usually best to avoid shipping tax ordering goods from China, using any of the paid for courier services (usually a lot quicker delivery ) will get you hit with shipping tax

Do they charge you instantly or when it's dispatched

Do they charge you instantly or when it's dispatched

Thanks. I did order it earlier this morning using Netherlands post as the option.

I'm very tempted to buy it just to try it out. I have a Huawei P9 which for the most part is fine, but quite often it will 'lose' the network. Luckily it doesn't do this if I'm making a phone call.

Seen couple clips on YouTube with this phone and its not completely bezel less, there is a visible about 2 or 3 mm frames. Some of websites saying also its IPS screen and some its Amoled. Anyway 125 quid for that its fair enough.

anyone had any experience with this brand?

not had a bluboo brand before have a look at online reviews of other models for brand info, if you guys want to not pay import duty choose netherlands postage method, takes about 10 to 15 days usually your parcel is routed thru netherlands post which is eu contry so no import duty to pay

If you do cancel ,and fancy going back to RN4 see if this still works...

OK I cancelled the order and now the best they can offer me is credit which is really crap :disappointed:

If you used Paypal shouldn't you be able to cancel the order ?

Just had a message from them saying they can issue a PayPal refund so that's good

Ordered! Expected delivery date mid august oO

tried registering with gearbest but nothing happens

Apologies to everyone for giving updates on my situation but basically I can't wait for this phone and none of these Chinese websites will deliver before I leave so I ended up going for the 4X 4Gb 64Gb version from a UK eBay seller for £160.

ebay.co.uk/itm…649

Ships from Singapore or the UK (?) but due to arrive in a week hopefully.

Difference between 4X and 4 are minimal and both have advantages and disadvantages but it appears to me that 4X is marginally better.

Its not expired, flash sale back on again.

Flash sale has been extended for another 7 days ! oO

hi , if you read the gsm specs on that page , it's stating the cpu is the mtk RN4 not qualcomm version -hopefully it"s a mistake ,because that's the older variant , little chance of android update and definitely not RN4X .

anyone know when this will be dispatched? because i havnt had a confirmation email yet and it originally send end of july. but now on the purchasing page it says Ships between Aug 21 - Aug 25.

Any update on shipping guys?

Dispatch date is a joke. Its becoming ridiculous . :rage:

Mine was shipped out yesterday :smile:

Hi so my phone arrived today :smile: it's pretty cool, just a few things to note:
1.The installed launcher isn't great so it's worth installing nova launcher.
2. Under display you can change the display mode to vibrant which imo looks a lot better.
3. The case is good however you can't plug In the USB c fully with it in. You can probably cut around the hole.
4. The glass screen protector included doesn't fully cover the entire screen (pixels) #fail.
5. The sim tray is quite fiddly but once in its fine.
6. The advertised photos are misleading. However there is still a nice looking bezel less effect.
7.there is some bloat wear which should be deleted.

Other than that everything is great :smile: I really like this phone so far. Very impressed for the price p.s typed this on my S1!

Finally ! Mine has been shipped Out ........just the 10 days later than the intendeded original date. :astonished:

Pretty decent phone for the price. Rear Camera decent, front camera awful, video recording has problem with the focus so you'll hear clicking noise when recording . Good memory and ram , pretty smooth operating system , overall and not a lot of bloatware.

Is this phone support the Indian network?
