I'm looking to buy a phone, and have settled on the 6577 processor. There are tonnes of phones with this processor, but I'm looking for one with good build+1GB RAM (As opposed to 512MB in most).
After quite a lot of research, these two phones seem to be the most popular: JY G3, ThL W3 dual core (ThL W3+) and UMI X1.
Can I have your views on both these phones. Or any other mtk6577 phone, with 1GB RAM and preferably not a clone. Among the three listed above, JY G3 has the biggest (2750mAh) battery, while the ThL W3+ (2000mAh) and UMI X1 (1750mAh) have significantly smaller batteries. It'll be great if someone can speak of the difference these different batteries will make. I hope to get around 12-14 hours of runtime. Been using an LG Optimus One since more than a year and it still does this with its 1500mAh battery. I don't know how much difference the added dual sim functionality and the much higher resolution (1280x720) will make.
Tbh I like the ThL most among the three.
Looking forward to replies. Thanks!
Only one of three phones is in stock now (tHL W3+) , Jiayu G3 & UMI X1 are still for pre order.
A month ago I look in to article for Jiayu G3 and when I saw the specification I decide to buy it*
But after the whole saga about Jiayu G3 with all delays and quality problems I changed my choice on tHL W3+
Instead lack of Gorilla glass and a little low but still enough power battery,
I think that W3+ is perfect choice.
Also I saw pictures and video clips shooted by Jiayu G3 that look worst.
W3+ camera shoot very good.
Also tHL W3+ have big support in this Russian forum > http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewforum.php?f=74
Good luck with your choice. :good:
Yes, the ThL is insanely popular at China-iPhone. Thanks for your views!
I placed an order for the ThL yesterday, expect it to be here by Thursday

I was thinking to buy a UMI X2 as the specs are really great but as its a chinese company I'm afraid it'll not last long. Any suggestions?
99% of the phones are produced in china. umi x2 has great quality like it's predecessor umi x1 that was great too.
there are others with the same mtk quad core chip but umi x2 seams to have better specs and it even has corning gorila glass (unlike iocean x7 for example). so it's very durable. also depending from where you buy you can get 1 year warranty. it works better then "non china" ones.
get it.
price is about 180$ from umi and stores will start to sell around 300$ which is a great profit margin so the price is likely to drop below 250$ in a few weeks/months.
it's also a common phone that will have great support and it can be rooted. imo it only lacks 4G but then it has dual sim where others with similar specs don't have.
antuntu benchmark is about 13k. for comparison galaxy s 3 has 16k. but then umi x2 has a full hd screen.
Dont think much buy,thats all its good,i saw its specs, Really great..
Go buy.....:thumbup:

They are really efforting to get their base operations up and running in the country and they are transparent about it !!
Well that's bothering me too!!!
specs are the most tempting in the phone, the best part is the pricing too!! best price value for money.
but before buying watt I personally look for is its support, I want the phone rooted!!!
ROM I can cook or port as it has same processor as canvasHD
but rooting and CWM needed, and also the hardware support, service centers also do matter
good to see a thread for this dynamite phone.
where as karbonn titanium s5 has no xda thread LOL

HI,
Did you buy it finally?
I will be interested by your custom rom as you say you can customize
Sorry if this is against any rules, but I'm desperate, due to the massive range of phones.
My Xperia Ray is starting to show issues ("sim card missing", wifi disconnects... etc) and my notebooks battery is running to an end (if I unplug, it's dead within 10 minutes)
So I've been looking for the last 2 weeks for the best "bang for the buck" Android smartphone, with a maximum mental budget of around 250 euro's, but able to satisfy my basic internet needs
My priorities are battery life ("extensive all day internet usage") and a decent screen (resolution and scratch proof)
I've been focusing on Quadcores,and a display around 4,5 - 5 inch.
what phone would you choose from the following, or would you recommend one not mentioned?:
Acer Liquid E2 (scratch free?)
Alcatel Scribe HD (appearantly overpriced?)
HTC Desire 500 (over priced ? )
Huawei G525 (quite ok?)
Huawei G615 (better than ok)
Jiayu G3S (no decent benchmarks found, looks quite OK)
Jiayu G4 (no decent benchmarks found, looks better than OK, retina screen)
Lenovo A820 (alot of bang for the buck at first sight)
Pomp W88 (lots of bang for the buck)
Pomp W99 (alittle more bang for the buck.)
You also got "Star" Galaxy clones... but I'm not sure about them.
My main concern is availability via European vendors, since I do want a decent support/an European contact in case of a non-delivery of my order.
I have the jiayu G4 for 2 weeks now and i realy like it.
Its the on with 3000 mAh battery and has a realy long life.
The only thing is that the GPS sucks. You can find alot about that on internet.
It cost me about 200 euro at pandawill.
Jiayu coms with the S1 and i think its better than the G4, but you have to eait a wile than

I'm considering of buying the Jiayu G4 or G5 Advanced or the iOCEAN X7 Elite. All of them look superb other then the slightly low benchmark of the X7 elite due to the 1080p res. Any ideas which to buy? I think all are of the same 299USD
CyanogenMod®
just got an xperia m for 200 euro this thing is sweet, definate bang for buck
So...I'm going to buy a new phone for my mom to drag her into the 21st century and am looking circa the $100 pricepoint (edit: actually, i think the G2 is about 125 at the moment but you get the idea). The likely candidates so far are the Jiayu G2 (512MB RAM) and the Thl T5. Being a very happy owner of a G3T, I have some rather positive brand associations with Jiayu but I've also heard good things about Thl.
I realise one (the G2) is an older model with an older CPU but am wondering if anyone has any experience of the (budget-focussed) T5 so far? And if so, have they also had some hands-on with the G2 to be able to make a comparison? What's the build quality of Thl gear like?
One major concern is that newer phones are all using JB which is more RAM-hungry and in a phone with only 512, I'd rather run an older Android version. This is for my mother, she's not going to be super fussed about new features, keeping application compatibility etc. I also feel she'd probably appreciate a 4inch screen opposed to the 4.7 of the T5 so am currently leaning towards the G2. What do you think..?
cheers in advance for any opinions!
Hey guys , any help would be appreciated.
I'm definitely thinking about buying the JIAYU s3 but I need some help.
1. Are jiayu phones reliable and trustworthy for daily use?
2.Are the cameras good and is the quality of the build good?
3.Are there any legit sites that sell Jiayu phones? Because I was looking at some websites with suggestions but there all not working anymore........
4. How do Jiayu phones live up to other great brands?
The Jiayu s3 that i'm talking about has a 5.5inch ips fhd screen with 2/3gb of ram, a 16gb rom -and the new mtk6752 64bit processor with mali t-760 and scores around 45000 on antutu at a price of 170 dollars.
It probably is my “next" phone, but because I don't own one I can't answer your number 1, and 2 questions. For third there is a web site www.ibuygou.com where I saw it was on stock. Now I have Xiaomi mi2a which is Chinese phone too and I'm completely satisfied. The only thing that bothers me is the processor, especially GPS. But when there are some reviews I would buy it. Price is very nice.
My friend has ever bought a Jiayu G6 smartphone from http://www.pompmall.com/jiayu-g6-mtk6592-octa-core-android-4-2-smartphone-2gb-32gb-5-7-inch.html moths sgo, and she said it is really in high quality especially with the 8MP front and 13.0MP back dual camera specs. But i also prefer to but the new Jiayu S3 mobile, and waiting for the avialable.
1.&2. - Yes
3. http://www.ejiayu.com/en/Store.html
I can not decide what version to buy , 2 or 3 Gb - does it any matter? Do not need NTFC.
Chinese people do not give a source. with a complete set of new firmware will be a problem that's for sure. exception lenovo.

Trying to choose between:
Elephone P8000
UMI IRON
Ecoo E04 Plus
They're all at a very similar price (£100-£150) and the discrepancy between the prices isn't much of a concern to me considering how much cheaper they are than so many phones on the market
The specs are all incredibly similar (octa core, 3gb ram, 13mp camera, 4g, 5.5" display), so really need some help choosing.
Thanks,
Ed
I would look at battery specs. I own a I-Joy Eccooqtium and battery isn't enough for just 1 day, and I am not a hard user... it is the only drawback I find to this phone.
I bought the UMI Iron couple of days ago for $180US. It is expected to be shipped out next week. I haven't read good reviews about Elephone and UMI as a brand has overall ok reviews. No experience with ECCO so can't comment on that.
