Yes it has a small red led that appears to flash on messages and battery status.
battery life- just got 25hours normally use with WIFI/ data on continuously.GPS seems slow like all chinese phones. 6 inch screen but soft buttons seem to takes up too much room really although you can hide them.Clear speakers. Will continue to post as I test

Recharge 2 hours and 15 minutes on stock charger
Antutu reports 27253 - although with th recent relevations of manufacturers tweeking Antutu I wouldn't be suprised if this is inaccurate.As rear camera is reported as 18.2 mp!

Hope to read your review soon

Yes ill post it soon
can report battery life seems to have improved, now at 50% when at this point it had run out. Also GPS is much better (after initial slow start) than my Cubot A6589 or my wifes M6589.
Picks up wifi straight away no issues.
have also noticed that this model supports wifi updates. Hopefully this mean no more messing about with SP tools etc.Still deciding weather to root yet,

I can confirm

Fake T200? now there is a thing...chinese manufacturers faking chinese phones! Mind you Thl is very popular in china with apparently over 300 stores.
Got mine from Thl: www.thlmobilestore.com
I have also used Geekbuying (geekbuying.com) as well, never had a problem with what they have sold me, sites a bit inaccurate though (fake Antutu screen shots etc) but thats the norm for chinese sites in my experience, so you have to do your research.

Suggest the T100 then basically the same except 5 inch screen.

Benchmark 41.8 in Epic Citadel at 1920x1080 performance level = "High Quality"

I am also in this website to buy THL T100S.

I received the ThL T200 a few days ago and I have been using it as my main phone.The T200 is a pleasure to use. It has a six inch screen and coming from my previous cubot A6589 (5.7 inch) it does seem much bigger in the hand. however I did own a N9776 and of course I could be getting used to big phones. i'm getting on a bit in years, and I find that smaller screens seem too small for me without my reading glasses!
The design of the T200 follows a common design format for Chinese phones with its black or white back cover and crome trim. The left and right boarder is about 3 mm wide with the usual wider top and bottom boarders.Ear phone jack and micro USB is unusually set into the top edge, In most phones the bottom boader contains the home button etc, but the T200 follows a tablet layout with soft keys taking up the bottom of the screen. You can hide it though so you can free up real estate on the main screen.Power button is on the left with the volume rocker on the right of the phone.The top boarde contains the sensors as usual with a small red LED notification light which illuminates on messgaes, missed calls etc and when requiring or when being charged. chaging to green when sufficient battery power is there.Like the T100S when the disply is off the display blends with surrounding bezels.
The display is a very good 1930 x 1080 full HD resolution. Colour seems good as is brightness of the display. Like the T100S it has a density of 441 pixels per inch, so the screen is sharp and clear. Its not the best Ive seen but at this price it seems a bargin.
The MTK6592 is an octo-core A7 at 1.7 Ghz which certainly moves along at a good pace. I got over 27000 on Antutu although with the recent issues with manufacturers either doctoring read outs or making the OS recognise when Antutu is running, this might be a little misleading but it is certainly in line with other scores Ive seen out there.
For Epic Citadel, the T200 consistently managed 41.8 frames per second (fps) on the High Quality setting. its also quite good considering the GPU is the Mali-450 which isn't the best out there but again I feel one has to take into account the price difference.
I haven't tested the CPU yet but Gary Sims on android Authority has tested the T100S
http://www.androidauthority.com/octa-core-thl-t100s-review-327578/
The battery is a 2500 mAh which for me has given about 1 day 12 hours of normal use (WIFI and data continuously on, phones, bit of film watching and games)so far although it might need some more bedding in. Like the T100S it has a option to limit CPU activity to lengthen battery life. tried both (one charge with it on and one off) and it doesn't seem to make much difference.
2GB RAM + 32GB ROM (translates as 5.77GB internal storage and 22.07GB phone storage
The camera is a 13 mp back camera and the front is 8 mp. Its good but I have seen better, but again you get what you pay for and for general use both cameras are more than adequate.
The phone has OTG which works straight out of the box mounting the drive instantaneously. It also has NFC I haven;t tested this but if it is like its twin the T100S then it should work well.
Overall then the THL T200 is a very good phone in my opinion for the price.It has its weak points but considering the price differential I feel its worthy of consideration.

Thanks for the review. I am still deciding whether to get this phone or Zopo 990+

Nice review.I am also considering the Zopo 990+ because I Would like to have 3G:WCDMA900/1900/2100MHz
The carrier(in Sweden) I have,use both 900Mhz and 2100Mhz I haven`t found any Thl T200 with 3GWCDMA 900/1900/2100MHz
The Zopo 990+ for Us $339.99 (This has 3G:WCDMA900/1900/2100MHz)
The Thl T200 for Us $304,99
Both at dhgate.

Yes Im in the UK so could go for the slightly cheaper option

I got mine in today, been playing around a bit, very nice new toy, I'm impressed with the performance so far.
For those who are interested: It seems to have a form of CWM recovery mode, just keep volume-up pressed while switching the phone on. The power button works as a back button, the vol-up as the 'confirm' button and the vol-down scrolls the menu.
Options available are:
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from sdcard
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data

Hero H9008 Pro MT6592 Mlais MX69T Pro OEM With Quad-Band WCDMA

This is one of a very few models with 1900MHz. It's been proven by one of our members who disabled all frequencies except for 1900MHz WCDMA through engineering mode and was still able to use H+ (UMTS/HSDPA/WCDMA/3G)
The phone has 900MHz as well for Europe.
The whole reason we're posting this here at XDA is because we're trying to spread the word regarding this China brand phone with quad-band WCDMA. Yes, there have been previous MTK phones (notably Blu Life) with 1900, but that is an American brand. iNew x000 is advertised as having a '1900MHz version' of their x000 lines, but there's been zero definitive proof that we've seen, and even if it exists, it's not quad-band WCDMA. We'd love to see it if it exists. Otherwise, we're calling this the first MTK China brand model with quad-band WCDMA. It's really huge news, and congrats to Mlais and H9008 for taking this big step. It will be a day that goes down in China phone history.
So far the phone looks very good. The screen is excellent. We will put it through the paces over the next few days.

This could be my next phone, but I've read about the battery problems, do you think is the same on all variations of this phone? mlais for example?
Or maybe OEM versions have a cheaper battery? Please let us know the battery test results with the new firmware.
three more questions:
1. is there a multicolored notification led?
2. on this phone, what are the file transfer speeds using the usb 3.0 connector and cable?
3. found it at antelife, is it a good price or did you get it cheaper somewhere else?
thank you very much!

We got this phone from 1949deal.com. Don't always go with cheapest, 1949deal.com has a decent price ($295), and with the coupon code, it's $285 (coupon: 1949dealh9008). I always recommend going with the shop that has treated you right, as long as the prices are somewhat similar.
I will do FULL battery tests on this phone.

thx for the answers, I'm waiting for the full review and that coupon

In answer to the first question. I've seen green, red, blue in the LED. Haven't seen other colors yet, but haven't tried for any either.
Rooted already. I will put root method in OP in about an hour. Making full stock backup now (baseband, radio files, system). Will get it uploaded tonight.
I was just playing with a real Note 3 half an hour ago.I tested all buttons on the real Note 3, looked at the plastic trim around the side. Pressed the volume buttons. Pressed the home button. The 'play' and feel was the same. If anything, the H9008 feels more solid in the hand than the real Note 3.

geeez, so tempted to buy right now.... hahaha, your battery tests will close the deal.
thank you once more.
In another subject, do you think mediatek would allow this current generation to be upgraded to the latest android version? Chinese phone development is so fast that SO upgrades are non existent.

It's possible, but I doubt it. I will be surprised if it sees true stock 4.3 or 4.4.
If another similar (MT6592 1080p) phone with 4.3 or 4.4 comes out, we may see some good ports in the future.
And if LeWa / MIUI for MT6592 4.3 or 4.4 comes, again it's a relatively easy port for a decent developer.

Added CWM 5.5.0.4 to OP

Added Carliv Touch CWM 6.0.4.4. EMMC, sd-card, data - all mounting fine.

After several mishaps and bricks. We've finally figured out the deal. This phone is an OEM Mlais MX69T Pro http://www.mlais.com/mx69tPro.html, but seemingly without the NFC and the TD-SCDMA. We've flashed the latest firmware from 18-FEB-2014 and everything so far tested is working the same as H9008 stock firmware. The wallpaper, sounds and everything are the exact same as H9008 as well.
Unless you want to have a lot of fun reflashing and soft-bricking, we recommend you don't fool with MX69 (without the T) Pro firmware. The scatters are nowhere near the same. We tried flashing with scatters from stock H9008 firmware and with the original scatter that came with the ROM. There was no success with MX69 Pro firmware.
MX69T went off without a hitch though.
We'll try and have a first thoughts video up later today. So far, it's nothin' but good.

thx for the information, your conclusions keep me one step from pulling the trigger for this phone.

There were several slightly nervous moments when the phone didn't turn on at all. But we went back to work and tried several different times (10 flashes or so all together) with different methods and tools until we determined it's definitely not MX69 Pro 'standard', but 'definitely' is OEM MX69T Pro....The firmware updates have been coming out regularly for the phone as well (see previous Needrom link). A very good sign.

Different H9008 versions?
Are there different versions of the H9008 on the market?
I checked a couple of shops and found H9008 phones with different specs. The main difference is the front camera. Some list the camera as 5MP, other as 8MP and some as 13MP.
If the H9008 is a full OEM version of the Mlais MX69T Pro, then the front camera should be 13MP.
Another question which is bugging me:
What's the aperture of the rear camera on the H9008? The original Mlais has an aperture of f2.0. I couldn't find any information on the H9008 camera.

Sure, why not
New Firmware release:

Most of all it is cheap...and inexpensive
Although the specs promise a great phone and set high expectations, you shouldn't set your hopes too high.
Memory is very limited (only 1,2 GB left for installing software) and not addressed very efficiently. Apps2SD or Link2SD doesn't work for the remaining 12GB...and external MicroSD cards are not handled very well.
Biggest challenge and most common remark/complaint on http://bbs.elephone.hk/ however is the battery. It drains quite fast.
Support from Elephone is quite limited and the phone is not very popular amongst enthusiasts, so custom ROMs are not very likely.
...but as long as you don't expect too much at this price....it is good value for money (at least I am quite happy with it...except for the WiFi problems).
Btw: there is another tread about the P2000 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/elephone-p2000-nfc-mtk6592-1-7ghz-t2826632
this includes the ROM updates and links

About the app partition, you can fix this. Mine has now 7GB of app space which is lot more than what almost anyone needs.
Look at Marsapa custom tom on NeedRom. He is now at version 3. The ROM works perfectly. The phone is really great.
The only problem that remains and will probably last, is the battery life. About 2 to 2:30 hours max (when screen on).
Just because of that, I'm looking for a replacement.

[Elephone P8] MTK 6592 - Full HD - China phablet - Review

Hey guys, today i want to share my review of the Elephone P8 from coolicool.com with you.
It´s definitly really similar to the Orientphone N3 which i already reviewed, but the software is better and also some little parts are different.
lets talk about the specs :
Highlights
♦ 5.7 inch Screen, 1920*1080 pixel display
♦ MTK6592 1.7GHz Octa core
♦ Support 3G network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 & WCDMA 850/2100 MHz
♦ 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM
♦ 13MP back camera + 5MP front camera
♦ The latest Android 4.2 System
♦ Air Gestures
♦ Clearmotion (video motion enhancer)
the main "highlight" is definitly the 5.7" IPS Screen. Its really big, has good viewing angles and also provides a sharp picture. But be careful, you can easily crack such a huge phone, i already cracked my black orientphone n3, but i wasnt really careful Big Grin (and drunk..)
I´ve now used the phone for 5 days with the latest 4.4.2 android software. It comes with a really clean rom , no malware or bloatware and also its fast as hell.
Performance:
I think everybody knows the MTK 6592 Octa core SoC with 2GB of ram. For now the flagship from mediatek. But its still battery hungry. Powersaving mode and downclocking is a must ! It also prevents overheating of the phone and battery. It can easily overheat if you dont clock it down while playing modern combat 2.. But it´s really fast and perferct for performance freaks
Quality:
Definitly much better than HDC.. it´s slimmer than the Note 3 and original parts like battery do not fit. Maybe the flip cover fits, but it wont close perfectly. The screen quality and the overall quality of the frame is amazing. Just on the top i found a very small gap between frame and glass, so in dark areas you see the led shining trough.. if you charge it.. But i would rate the quality with 9/10 points !
Camera:
13mpx back camera which is much better than on any other phablet. Autofocus could be faster and it could have a better camera app. 13mpx only in 4:3 mode so i would give 6/10 points.
Network:
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 & WCDMA 850/2100 MHz Quad band.. works in 90% of the countries on the world. But always check the bands with the bands which your provider uses !
Dual Sim works perfectly in austria and connection is great. Just shows roaming but thats normal. 10/10 points.
Battery:
Great batterylifetime, i can pass one day with a 100% charge. But N3 batteries dont fit !! the batteries from the elephone are much slimmer , so you have to order one if you need 2.
Benchmarks:
Antutu 27000
All sensors are working.
Cant post Video link right now, because of to low posts. But will post it soon.

Can it be rooted and updated to Lollipop or CM?

You have the reason, what hapenned with the scene? I want lolli pop or Android M minimal in a future.

Some people say it can be rooted and stuff, but still no Lollipop

Rooted
Hi I just root it with king root 4.1 in the device only. Try it twice and no problem. Don't have any idea about lollipop ROM

Please tell me if this phone is good for everyday use, camera and software quality? Any good for gaming?

It's pretty much ok for everyday usage and more, but for the gaming is not. It can run more than just basic games but do not expect 3D excitement.

OTG support ?

OTG doesn't work for me!
Few other disadvantages:
No software updates
Scratchy noise in audio recording
Buggy UI
Rear speaker emits very high frequencies without any bass
Display in nice but the touch screen is not very accurate
Camera is just basic
Missing basic features such as "kill all in task manager", "three finger slide to screenshot", "multi-choice option in lockscreen", etc.

V500 seems very hot in russia.

Any custom roms?

Lollipop?

Not yet but son i think so. That guys of taiwanrom are working hard un many devices. Now i have miui 6 working fine. Made by taiwanrom

Based on 4.4 right?

Both SIM-Slots for 4G/3G?
Can both SIM-Slots be used for 4G/3G?
If not, which SIM-Slot is capable for 4G/3G and which SIM-Slot is only capable for 2G?
Thank you in advance.

1st slot can go 3/4g and the second is 2g only

For price 95 euro in China , very good phone (after 24h use). Dont feel like 2Gb phone, buggy UI.
But, I like : very good IPS display 400ppi , 5.5in , Removable batery 2500mAh, 2sim cards, 16Gb, look like 200euro phone .

Buggy UI can be altered by installing Nova launcher but the rest of the phone is too laggy even for surfing the web, not to mention any serious gaming, multitasking or photo/video shooting. No Lollipop, no OTA, no use buying it. Instead of giving 95$ for a device that is only good for Viber/Whatsapp and 2D, you would be better off with a Samsung Galaxy S3 which is still a good phone, way better than the ViewSonic in terms of surfing, gaming, software and autonomy

Display is perfect, 400ppi ( my opinion) . My dother is on youtube, games for girls work perfect. Only voice on telefone is little low
