Side Bezel Size Approximation - Android General

As smartphone manufacturers, especially LG, keep trimming their products' side bezel as much as possible and as people also start to consider it, here I come with my side bezel approximation to help people comparing one phone from the others.
Calculation:
Side bezel size = 0.5 [(Original phone width) - { (display diagonal) * sin( arctan (horizontal pixel/vertical pixel)) }]
This approximation is not precise but quite accurate to compare those of different phones.
I've calculated some here:
Pantech Vega Iron = 0.104"
LG G2 = 0.120"
LG G FLex = 0.134"
Nexus 4 = 0.141"
LG Optimus G = 0.146"
Nexus 5 = 0.147"
S4 = 0.149"
S4 Mini = 0.151"
Note 3 = 0.163"
iPhone 5s = 0.173"
HTC One Max = 0.179"
HTC One = 0.193"
Lumia 1520 = 0.209"
S3 = 0.21"
Xperia Z1 = 0.229"
Note = 0.231"
Note 2 = 0.237"
S2 = 0.246"
Lumia 1020 = 0.247"

The inaccuracy of the calculation shoud be different from each phone.
LG advertises its LG G2 to have only 2.65 mm bezel.
Compared to my calculation (0.120"=3.048mm) the error is 15.02%.
Similarly, Pantech says that its Vega Iron only has 2.4 mm bezel, while my calculation shows that it has 0.104" = 2.6416 mm.
The error is 10.07%.
So, even though my calculation has different errors for different phones, they should range about 10-15% only.

Any body can write here about screens of HTC models
I'm amazed about screen measurements of HTC models
Exm: HTC P3300 known as Artemis,
Screen : 2.8" this mean : 58 mm
but i know 2.8" as 71 mm is it incorrect?
if yes...
I've tried with a converter program and he give that result:
2,8 " = 71.12 mm
and
58 mm = 2.3"
now...
What is the real screen measures of this telephones. I want to buy a HTC p3300 and if he hasn't 71 mm screen then i will not!
can anybody help me?
Note : Please write as metric units ( such as : cm,mm )
The viewable screen size of HTC Artemis/HTC P3300 is 43.2 x 57.6 millimetres and diagonal it is 72 mm. (Source: pdadb.net)

58mm is the long side, 71mm is the diagonal. 2.8 inches refers, as usual, to the diagonal.
Ciao,
G.

is the galexy note 2 bigger then the normal horizontally or ver

Is the note 2 bigger by length or by width? Then the original ..
Thinner? Or same size...
[] < - long ways = length ( top to bottom)

The TF700 is definitely a device that could be improved perfomance wise out of the box. Couple that with the fact that many report that they receive physically defective devices upon delivery and you have a skeptical situation. One could consider these issues superficial though since Asus as a manufacturer has proven that issues will be addressed both with hardware as well as software. Whether it be through Over The Air Operating System updates, through issuing free dongles to remedy gps issues (Tranformer Prime), or replacement of defective units, Asus has created a reputation for being customer oriented. Not to mention the onslaught of developer support from sites such as XDA developers. There are many who report that they own the perfect laptop replacement after a few tweaks readily available in forums and the internet. With the dock that offers a mouse pad, qwerty keyboard with built-in hot keys and short cuts, full USB 2.0 port, SD Card slot, and additional battery life, this device screams production and performance. With its competitive hardware components and continually improving software feature set, the infinity can be a very easy buy for consumers.

The Nexus 10 sports some very compelling machinery, equipment, and software integration through the impressive google environment. In my opinion, if and/or when this line gets that external storage compartment and detachable fully functional key board it would be an obvious selection without hesitation. Until then, I could only view this as a powerfully interesting entertainment device. Please do not misinterpret and think that I am not recommending this tablet. With its best in business screen resolution, front facing speakers, brand new Android OS (which deserves its own discussion - http://www.android.com/whatsnew/), this elite devise would be an excellent purchase decision. This device is new and may even get a new additions such as a keyboard dock type thing or extra software feature upgrades.

Although it has some impressive quantitative hardware components and qualitative software features, I would say the Surface is too early in development, so to speak, to consider it a contender at its current configuration and feature set. There are currently not enough apps supporting this new OS and interface. The new environment may also be a turn off because of the learning curve involved in championing such a new piece of equipment. I expect Microsoft to be competitive in this field in the very near future despite the fact that the company is still establishing itself in this market. As a mobile laptop replacement this device is an option. It has a detachable keyboard option that connects directly to the tablet as well as a Built-in kickstand for easily positioning the device while working or enjoying videos.

The iPad is an extremely popular device that is very well integrated with the Apple IOS and the "user-friendly" Apple eco system. Combine that with the fact there are hundeds of thousands of third party application and hardware developments that enhance this devices experience and you have a very compelling piece of equipment. It is evident though that the market for this device can be very appealing to some but may not accommodate the technological desires of individuals (other than apple developers) who wish to have the freedom to customize, control, and expand with their device beyond what is proprietary to apple. In the realm of marketing, the strategy that Apple employs is brilliant in regard to its devices and proprietary components. This trend is detrimental to consumerism though. One major drawback to the iPad is the price tag one must pay to own such a premier device. For that same price, you can buy a device such as the Nexus 10 that has twice the storage at that price point and arguably better hardware/software features in many areas.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Apple-iPad-4_id7547 - Review
Conclusions:
Between the three with true HD display (iPad, TF700, Nexus), one has to question how noticeable the difference actually is in casual viewing experiences. Without close scrutiny, it is difficult to notice enough of a difference to eliminate any of the three due to display quality. The law of diminishing returns comes to mind when comparing the viewing experience between them.
It is worth noting that the iPad generally received slightly better reviews in the realm of graphics and on screen image quality.
Also the Surface was dismissed from competition during the weigh-ins when it comes to display.
It is my determination that the iPad falls short because it lacks the dynamic nature of other alternatives while being more expensive, less compatible to other Eco-systems, and at times inferior in the realm of software/hardware features. I will add though that there is something to be said for the stability of the iPad and the IOS integration. Probably the smoothest overall graphical user interface experience among this group of devices.
While being a prospective future pioneer in the tablet market, the surface falls short in my eyes ddue to lack of apps, ancient display, and no real appeal currently other than the Windows OS that has yet to be proven on a tablet. Time will tell and I am interested to see the business and enterprise implications of a portable tablet windows environment.
I think the Nexus 10 does win out Spec for Spec, however in terms of functionality, the TF700 may have a slight competitive edge because of the dock and additional ports. The cameras on the Infinity are also the best among the mentioned tablets.
There are other topics of consideration not covered here such as Bluetooth 4.0 compatibility and included / native software. None should be deal makers or breakers in any direction but please feel free to recommend improvements/corrections to this comparison.

Hey guys, my review is up!
Excellent Battery & GPS Performance
Coming from Nokia 3210, Moto Razr V3x, Nokia E61, Samsung P780, HTC HD2, iPhone 4, LeMoto S890, LeMoto P780, Alcatel Idol X, LeMoto K910, Huawei Honor 3C, ZTE Blade S6, ASUS Zenfone 2 ZE550ML, Xiaomi Mi4i, Ulephone Be Touch 2, Meizu M2 Note and current favourite daily-driver, ZTE Nubia Z7 Max.
Bought the Elephone P4000 16GB from Lazada with RM100 discount at RM399 (SRP =RM499 on 15 August 2015). I have been using it for 7 days now.
It's rooted Lollipop 5.1.0 under Elephone-AOSP Stock ROM v20150725.
Here are my comments about this device:
A = Android = Pure stock Lollipop is not easy to get at this price range. Zero junk apps out of the box with minimum Google Services pre-installed. More OEMs should follow this trend.
B = Body-Built = Elephone manages to make the polycarbonate feels 'acceptable' and extremely comfortable to hold. The device is slippery to hold if your palm is dry. Advisable to get TPU casing and an oleophobic tempered-glass protector for better feel. Buttons are placed nicely with decent tactile feedback. Capacitive touch buttons are available but only the home key is back-lit with blue color tone. Size and weight ratio is perfect. There is no screen protection for the 5" display but out-of-the-box there is good quality plastic screen guard. Display quality for 720P resolution during daylight usage is average.
C = Call quality = Average but not to challenge my daily-driver ZTE Nubia Z7 Max. You cannot get reception when inside elevator or basement one.
D = Data = LTE modules for both macro-SIM 1 and macro-SIM 2 are stable. Bluetooth 4.0 is stable too but not strong compared to Xiaomi Mi4i (Bluetooth 4.1). No NFC and infra-red terminals.
E = Email = Email client is comparable to other Android-based phones. It works as intended but you should install 3rd party email client for better experience.
F = Free-apps = None. Elephone really makes the stock ROM as light as possible. Minimum Google services are included out of the box.
G = Games = Heavy titles produce drop-frames frequently. The internal combo are 64-bit MediaTek MT6735P @ 1.0GHz + Mali-T720MP2 GPU + 2GB LPDDR3 RAM + 16GB flash (11GB free after first boot). Fortunately, no over-heating issue even after 30 minutes of intense gaming. Just ordinary warm to the touch.
H = Hangouts = Video call for Skype, Google Hangouts, Tango etc. is superb for 2MP front facing camera. There is a flash for the front camera for dark or pitch black scene however don't expect too much from the front flash quality.
I = Internet = AOSP built-in web browser is good. Slight checker-board effect on heavy websites. 3rd party browser is encouraged for better experience.
J = Juice = 4420mAh sealed lithium-ion polymer cell = "HYPER-EXCELLENT!". Claimed talk-time, stand-by time, etc. are achievable for dual-standby-macro-SIM LTE phone. Power consumption during 12-hour idle state is only 2% from (i.e.10pm to 10am). Heavy usage of 3 hours GPS & endless web browsing & YouTubes will end up at 12 hrs Screen-On-Time. Even my previous LeMoto P780 can only managed to get 8 hours SOT of similar usage pattern. There's quick-charged feature (compatible to Qualcomm Quick-Charge 2.0 charger too) is available which requires 2 hours to completely finish charging from 0% to 100% for 4420mAh capacity.
K = Kamasutra = Phone vibrates with notification/ringtone. Vibrating sensation is mild. Laddies may not use it for other satisfying purpose(s)... LOL...
L = Loudspeaker = Very loud for back-firing speaker. However, & as usual, maximum volume will distort the sound. Bass is below average level.
M = Music = Built-in Music app with the use of high end headphones/earphones does not produce satisfaction due to lack of clarity and quality.
N = Navigation = Working as expected and accurate too. Lock to satellites within 10 seconds. Waze, Google Maps and HERE Maps are working normally, even indoors.
3 hours navigation just consumes 6% battery juice. No other smartphones can beat this battery usage. In fact, surprisingly the device does not feel hot (just luke warm) after 3 hours navigation.
O = One-hand Operation = I have "big" hands and "long" fingers No further comments. To somebody, the 5" screen with average bezel width may also be pleasing enough to handle this 168gm device with one-hand. This award still belongs to ZTE Blade S6.
P = Picture = 13MP Samsung f/2.2 CMOS sensor is acceptable accompanied by single tone LED flash. Auto mode camera snapshot is reliable. Macro shots are acceptable. Low light image is average for budget smartphone class.
Q = Quirks = Processing power & sound quality. The SoC MediaTek MT6735P clocked at 1.0GHz is not sufficient to handle heavy game titles and heavy websites. GPS navigation and video streaming is reliable though. Elephone should have adopted MT6753 instead, like the P8000 model.
R = Rooting = To-date, using SP Flash Tool method to flash SuperSU v2.49. However, to get OTA updates after rooting requires detail attention in order to avoid bootloop issue during the update.
S = Screen = The 5" IPS panel is adequate for daily usage. Viewing angle has slight shadow effect. Direct sunlight visibility is average at 100% brightness. Overall, the screen is soothing to the eyes even when you stare at it constantly for prolong period of time.
T = Texting = stock AOSP keyboard is provided. You may need to install 3rd party keyboard apps as you will get the best typing/swiping experience on the 5" screen. Get yourself oleophobic tempered glass screen protector and you can glide your fingers on the 3rd party keyboard happily, even when using it single handed.
U = User-Interface = Stock AOSP UI simple and good enough for daily use.
However, rooting will get more flexibility for better experience for sure.
V = Video = Capturing up to 720P video is acceptable. 1080P is not supported. Tap-to-focus is fast and sharp enough. Digital/electronic image stabilisation is available too.
Overall, it's better to install 3rd party camera app for more satisfying output.
W = WiFi = Above average. Having only 2.4GHz a/b/g/n is expected on budget smartphone. Same like most other phones, it only manages to get 3 bars in my basement floor test. My current ZTE Nubia Z7 Max captures 5 full bars without fail. Huawei Honor 3C gets 4 bars. iPhone 4 only 3 bars.
X = X-factors = BATTERY LIFE - period! For dual-macro-SIMs LTE phone (both SIM 1 & 2 supports LTE) with 2GB RAM supported by 16GB onboard storage (expandable up to 32GB) is worth every penny. Compatible to Qualcomm Quick-Charge charger too. Average voice/data/Wi-Fi reception is not in favour for those who live in the outskirts or camping sites. Heavy gamers won't like this unit. But heavy GPS users will be more than happy to own this unit.
Y = YouTube = The 5" IPS screen at 720P resolution accompanied by reliable LTE connection is a mixed experience. This is merely due to sound quality even though when wearing your favorite earphone/headphone.
Z = Zero-figure. Based price at Malaysia Ringgit RM499-point-zero-zero is a smart investment with current 64-bit chip plus Android Lollipop 5.1 out-of-the-box. But if you get this unit at RM499, better top-up a bit more to opt for other options such as ASUS Zenfone 2, or even the Huawei/Honor portfolios.
Xiaomi Redmi 2 can be of similar budget options. Don't forget the best budget smartphone of 2015 - the LeMoto K3 Note (way cheaper).
But if you are looking for the BEST battery life & GPS experience, look no further.
CONCLUSION : Buy it if you are looking for back-up phone or budget phone that has dual-macro-SIMs LTE support (both SIMs) with excellent 4420mAh battery capacity and reliable GPS performance. 64-bit MediaTek MT6735P SoC at below RM500 is affordable with the Lollipop 5.1 engine out-of-the-box. The Elephone P4000 definitely cannot replace my current ZTE Nubia Z7 Max (RM1,149 on September 2014), which is my trust-able and excellent ala-flagship smart gadget for the past 12 months. In the end, the Elephone P4000 has managed to capture my attention for their upcoming models in the future. Even now, their P8000 model has been touted to be the best-buy item in 2015.

On my P400 with firmware 20150707 was a "hidden root". I just installed the supersu app form playstore and started it. After that a popup came and i chose "install normal" method and after that i did a reboot and it was done... The phone was rooted without the need of custom recovery....
Can anyone provide me stock ROM as zip file?

Is the camera any good on this phone? Had a Mlais MX before - it was pretty much perfect except the camera was really bad
i found the camera really really bad - in videos during bright daylight the brightness changes every few seconds. This looks really bad. And pictures are awful too - if you make a picture of a letter or calender those big letters are not readable in the photo - smaller letters are even worse. If you don't care about the camera go for it the phones battery is awesome and i liked the extra features that elephone has added. For example time scheduled shut down and start up of the phone !
But i sold it and went for a Xiaomi Mi4c which fits my needs.
