For people who have never heard of this Chinese brand, it’s very easy to mistake it for the more celebrated French tablet maker: Archos. However, AOCOS is not just another copycat, it is actually owned by We Kuand Tech, a technology oriented company founded in 2004, way before the advent of Android tablets.
Ever since the marketing success of its superstar product – the AOCOS PX92 Hummingbird, which is known as the first Chinese tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard, AOCOS has been unstoppable. And now it is absolutely a major player in the Chinese tablet industry.
The advertising campaign of this AOCOS PX72 Peacock Mini 3G Tablet actually started by the end of last year. The narrow bezel design and the idea of RK3066 being paired with 3G mobile communication drew lots of attentions then. However, the slate hasn’t arrived until April, 2013, a time when tablets with MT6589 quad core chipset starting to take over the market and most of the curiosity and expectations for the PX72 have already worn off.
Yet, the mini7 Peacock is still quite a decent tablet, and I have lots of good things to say after using it for almost a month.

Design and Retail Package​
I will start with the packaging. The AOCOS PX72 mini7 Peacock comes in minimalistic white box, on the front I see just the word “mini”, which comes in different colors, and on the back I see the white AOCOS logo with sky blue background color.
The real special beauty lays inside the box. The tablet itself, an OTG cable, an USB cable, are all carefully packaged in independent smaller boxes. I guess it’s fair to say that this is the most gorgeous packaging I have ever seen for an electronic device.
Let’s then talk about its design, what is striking is that AOCOS has pushed the screen bezel (left and right, portrait mode) of the PX72 to an all-time narrowest – just 5.8mm on each side of the display. Even compared to other tablets with small screen frames, the mini7 Peacock still easily stands out!
Above the display you will find the stereo speaker, which certainly looks very much like a telephone receiver, but it’s not. Next to the front-facing speaker is the VGA front-facing camera, which can be used for video phone calls and online chatting.
The backside of the device is made of aluminum alloy, which has a strong frosted feeling. The color is indigo blue for my unit, but there are other colors available. On the back you will find a 2.0MP rear side camera, an LED flash and the AOCOS LOGO.
When it comes to hardware controls, the AOCOS PX72 has taken the minimalist approach, opting for just a power/standby and a volume rocker. I personally love the simplistic design, but I have a tough time with the positioning. Both buttons are hosted on the lower part of the left edge, while I am using the tablet in vertical mode, the buttons are facing down, making it awkward for me to control them. On the middle of the left edge you will also find an SIM card slot, where you can use cellphone card of both GSM&WCDMA network.
The bottom edge of the slate plays host to most of the ports and slots. You will find a 3.5mm headphone jack, a 2.5mm DC charging port, a Mini HDMI port, a TF card slot and a Micro USB data port.
The tablet is 9.6mm thick. Although it is not the thinnest, it gives your hands a solid hold.
Display
Budget tablets typically make the biggest sacrifices on the display front. Not so with the AOCOS PX72, which is fronted by a very nice 1,280 x 800 IPS panel rated at 400 nits of brightness. While more pixels is always better -- the GOOGLE NEXUS 10 has already pushed the pixels on tablet display to the monstrous 2560*1600 -- WXGA feels perfectly adequate here. Text is rendered very well and 720p videos look great.
Other less quantifiable aspects of the display are also very nice. Viewing angles are top-notch, with contrast staying strong regardless of which side you're coming from. And, it's plenty bright, too, with decent outdoor visibility. In general, the display is just a lot nicer than you'd expect given the cost.
Sound
The audio of the PX72, however, isn't exactly fighting above its price. The speaker integrated in the front of the mini7 Peacock delivers an amount of sound that isn't very pleasant to listen to. Although it does pass the "loud enough to fill a living room" test, the quality leaves me reaching for my earphones.
System & UI
Like most Chinese tablets with RK3066, the PX72 ships with stock Android 4.1.1. And the modifications AOCOS has made to the stock user interface are next to none. Some apps do come pre-installed, but none of them AOCOS-exclusive.
Performance
The performance I encountered were more than enough. It is noteworthy that, compared with those so-called quad-core tablets with the actions ATM7029 chipset, the performance of this RK3066-powered tablet was clearly better. I have used it for almost a month and experienced no lockups, while running a dozen of applications. Although I did have noticed that the dual-core processor fairly quickly got in trouble with multitasking. With some big applications at work and with multiple browser tabs opened it felt a little bit slower. This problem is not insurmountable but a striking detail that should be listed and if you have many widgets on your home screen and using live wallpapers at the same time, the switching got significantly slower.
Cameras
Neither the front-facing nor the rear-facing camera produces satisfactory images. After taking a few testing pics I decided I would never use the rear-facing camera ever again. I really don’t understand why AOCOS would give a 5MP camera to a 10.1 inch tablet rather than a more portable 7 incher with 3G module and phone functions.
Connectivity
The PX72 has built in 3G module (GSM/WCDMA) , Wi-Fi and Bluetooth V2.1. It is also able to make and receive phone calls. The 3G network and Wi-Fi reception of the slate is decent, though not as wonderful as the Samsung Galaxy Tab I have been using, it certainly bests most of the 7 inch tablets I have tested.
Battery Life
Of course a tablet is only good for as long as you can use the thing. RK3066 is notorious for its high power consumption, and I have to admit I was worried about its battery life before receiving the slate. But after using it for several weeks, I was actually quite pleased with the longevity here. I came within spitting distance of 6 hours on a charge using out standard rundown test, which has the tablet connected on Wi-Fi and looping an online TV show endlessly. That's very, very good for a budget 7-incher and bests many other similar sized tablets.
Verdict​
When it comes to “cheap tablets” you normally get what you pay for. They are dreadful – cheap is not a quality you will want to be exploring whilst sitting on the plane or sipping on a cappuchino in your favorite cafe.
But the AOCOS PX72 is not a “cheap” tablet. It is a high quality tablet at a low price. If you are looking for a budget 7-inch tablet PC with 3G and phone features for under 200 dollars. This 7-inch slate is probably the best option!
The good:
1. Great Build quality.
2. Decent overall performance.
3. Excellent display.
4. Built-in 3G module, built-in Bluetooth.
5. Phone Functions.
The bad:
1. No real receiver for phone calls.
2. Crappy cameras.
3. The sound of the speakers is of poor quality.

Motorola Moto X - Review

Moto X – Review
I had been hearing lots about the Moto X but it wasn't on my radar for phones to check out. Then out of the blue I had an opportunity to get my hands on one, so I figured why not.
The biggest thing to remember about the Moto X is that it is not a hardware monster. It wasn't desgined to take on the Note 3 or similar top of the line phones in benchmarks, it was designed to be unique, be extremely well optimized and provides a great user experience. So lets see what Motorola have brought to the table.
Display
The Moto X is a smaller phone by todays standards and has a 4.7 inch display. At that size you can get away with a 720p and get the benefits of reduced battery consumption. That's what they did and I think it was the right choice. The screen is repsonsive, bright and looks pretty good overall. To make sure their phone is durable they went with Gorilla Glass to keep the front safe.
Software
The biggest asset the Moto X has, is its software. Motorola have obviously taken the time to think about what would enrich the users experience with a mobile device. It’s the small things they have worked in that all add up to leave a noticeable impression at the end of the day.
The phone does a good job walking you through its unique extras, teaching you what functions are available and how to use them. I really liked the always listening access to Google Now. Even when the device was asleep, Google Now was accessible. Turning your wrist twice will activate the camera, and only a single touch on the screen is required, making it easy to take pics with the phone in one hand and using your thumb to snap the pic. The list goes on, but you get the point. Add in the fact that the phone is incredibly optimized allowing far better performance than the hardware would indicate, and you have a solid offering.
WiFi
The Moto X has 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz Wifi. I tested them by taking a reading directly beside the router, another reading at the furthest point on my upper level, and a 3rd set of readings at the furthest point in my basement.
5Ghz
-27 mbps at the router
-14 mbps upper level
-4 mbps basement
2.4Ghz
-30 mbps at the router
-27 mbps upper
-25 mbps basement
These are fairly descent speeds as I've had some devices get almost unusable signal upstairs, and no signal at all in the basement.
Call quality
I’m not a big talker, I would much rather text. From the calls I did make, I can say the phone is fairly clear. I listened from my end and then had someone call me using the phone while I listened. I would definitely give the phone a thumbs up.
Speaker
The speaker in the Moto X really surprised me. It wasn't the loudest or clearest speaker I’ve heard but it was pretty darn good. It had just enough volume and remained crystal clear even when maxed. I could even feel a little bit of bass in my hand while testing, something many mid to lower end phones lack.
Video playback
I tested the playback with HD clips from YouTube as well as a movie played through VLC player. The phone handled both situations well, as would be expected with a phone using an Adreno 320. Although it’s last years GPU tech, it still has more than enough grunt to play media with ease.
Web browsing
The Moto X wasn’t the snappiest device for browsing but it held its own. At no point did I say “Man , these pages are taking a long time to load”
You can check out the Vellamo HTML5 scores further down in the review.
GPS
The GPS was on par with other Qualcomm device testing I’ve done. It locks quickly and holds its connection at all times.
I put the phone into Airplane mode to eliminate data assistance and got a cold lock in 20 seconds.
Subsequent locks were less than 5 seconds.
Cameras
The 2 MP front facing camera proves you don’t need huge mega pixel numbers to produce a nice image. The selfies I took were really nice and more than expected from the device. The rear 10MP camera was ok in well-lit conditions but suffered from a green hue in lower light conditions when the flash was used. Overall, I would say the rear camera could have been done better and needs an upgrade.

Benchmarks
This is where I feel the optimization came into play. For an older tech processor that was bumped down to a dual core, the Moto X did ok.
Antutu = 22,083
CPU Prime = 3377
Nenamark 2 = 60.8 fps
Vellamo
HTML5 = 1445
Metal = 730
Battery
It was pretty easy to get a full day out of the Moto X with moderate usage. It also did ok in regards to screen time. I played movies on the phone taking it down to 9%. I put the screen on auto and I managed about 6hrs 45 minutes but forgot to start a new movie a couple of times, so the device probably could have handled over 7 hours of playback.
Gaming
I tested the phones gaming abilities with Dead Trigger 2 and Asphalt 8. The games defaulted to a mid-range graphics setting but I manually set them to high graphics. The phone played both games fairly well thanks again to the Adreno 320. It wasn’t as responsive and smooth as my Lenovo Vibe Z which uses an Adreno 330 but hey, that’s to be expected.
Conclusions
Many people say the Moto X is way overpriced for what it is. To a certain extent I agree. In regards to hardware and specs it’s hard to justify spending the asking price. What makes the phone worth taking a look at, is its uniqueness. Motorola have tried to do something a little different and in my opinion succeeded. There are rumblings about a new updated version coming this summer named the Moto X+1. I would hope they take a look at a better camera/flash combo, and add an expansion slot for extra memory. I am interested to see if the Lenovo purchase impacts Motorola’s strategy and direction or if they will leave them to continue their own course.
Do you think anything will change?

The camera on the Moto X is alright, I just found when the flash was used it would cause a strange discoloration to the pictures.

W.D Fone W92 (Lenovo Vibe X clone) with MT6592 octa core - Review

W.D Fone W92 Review

The first thing you might notice is that the W.D Fone W92 looks an awful lot like the Lenovo S960/ Vibe X. I’ve never owned the Vibe X but it appears the W92 is indeed the same phone but with a Mediatek MT6592 octa core SoC clocked at 1.7 Ghz, and a 2800 mAh battery. The other big differences are the ROM and the much lower price. I bought the phone for about $200 and for such a low cost device it has a lot of promise. Let’s take a look at how it handled itself.
Specs
5 inch 720p display
Dual SIM
Mediatek MT6592 octa core processor clocked at 1.7 Ghz
Mali 450MP4 GPU
2GB RAM
16GB storage with expansion slot for up to 32GB cards
2MP front and 8MP rear cameras
2800 mAh battery
Android KitKat 4.4
Unboxing
I bought the W.D Fone W92 from Merimobiles and had it shipped by DHL. It took a few days for the order to process and ship, and then about 4 days to get it from DHL. The phone was well packaged to ensure no damage occurred.
The box was silver and was nothing too fancy. Inside were headphones, manuals, micro usb cable, and a wall adapter.
Check out the unboxing video here.
Check out the full video review here.
Physical feature
The W.D Fone W92 has a comfortable feel with it’s 145 x 73 x 8.1mm dimensions. At 104 grams it’s also a very light device making prolonged use very easy.
The back has a nice textured back plate that aids with grip. On the back top left corner you’ll find the 8 MP camera and flash.
On the front right hand side is the 2 MP camera.
On the right hand side is the power button.
On the left side is the volume rocker.
Micro USB connector is right in the centre on the bottom.
3.5mm headphone jack is on the top.
Display
The W92 has a 5 inch 1280 x 720 IPS display, but no Gorilla Glass, so you’ll have to be a little more careful. For scratches and blemishes I always recommend a screen protector since they are so inexpensive to put on. The screen has a good feel to it and is fairly responsive during use. Although the screen quality doesn’t stand out as amazing, it is quite bright and looks more than acceptable for a 720p display. Of course the big benefit with a 720p display, especially with the MT6592 SoC is the added battery life.
Software
I’ve seen this phone advertised with Android 4.4 but didn’t think much about it. Upon further investigation, the official W.D Fone site talks about 4.4, the box is labelled as 4.4, and the settings screen has it listed as running Android 4.4 KitKat.
The default ROM runs just fine and the launcher has minimal lag. I haven’t run into any significant glitches, but the appearance of the UI is a bit generic and boring. Of course that is a very simple fix by downloading something more to your liking from the Play Store.
Boot time is only 11 seconds which is very nice to see.
WiFi
The W.D Fone W92 has 2.4 and 5 Ghz WiFi. I tested the phone by taking both a 2.4 and 5 Ghz reading:
By the router
At the furthest point on my upstairs level
At the furthest point in my basement level
5Ghz
Router = 28.17 mbps
Upstairs = 7.71 mbps
Downstairs= 1.35 mbps
2.4Ghz
Router =32.99 mbps
Upstairs =21.38 mbps
Downstairs=11.96 mbps
Call quality
The call quality was average. For some reason all of the Mediatek powered devices I’ve tested have ok sound quality but it is set very low. The quality is not bad but can be harder to hear. Luckily this is an easy fix. You can root the phone if not already rooted, and then install MobileUncle from the Play store. In that app you can access the handset volume portion and raise the volume to your preferred level.
Speakers
The rear speaker on the W92 does an ok job. It’s not an over achiever but gets the job done. It has descent volume but seriously lacks bass and often distorts when the volume is set to full.
Video Playback
Video playback has been good on all MT6592 powered phones I’ve tried. All formats play well and the nice thing about having a 1280 x 720 display is it helps out with frame rate/ FPS. I tried YouTube clips as well as several movies in different formats and did not experience any issues.
Web Browsing
The W92 like other MT6592 phones I’ve tested does very well with web browsing. Page change overs are quick as are load times. Expect general online performance to be on par with higher end devices.
Cameras
The W92 has pretty much what I expected out of a $200 phone. The 2 mega pixel front facing camera does an ok job under normal conditions and the 8 mega pixel is for capturing spontaneous pictures but would certainly not be my first choice for a camera if I knew I was going into a situation that I would be taking pics. The flash was bright enough but overall there is too much noise in the pictures.
GPS
The GPS is always an uncertainty with many of these less expensive Mediatek devices. I’m pleased to say the GPS worked fairly well on the W92. I tested it on a clear, sunny day using Google maps(with data), and NavFree(no data) and both worked with no issues.
I obtained a cold lock with the phone in airplane mode to eliminate the data assistance and got a lock in
25 seconds with subsequent locks in less than 3 seconds.
Actual use of the GPS while travelling was also good with no issues to report.
Benchmarks
It’s often easy to forget that for such an inexpensive SoC, the Mediatek MT6592 offers very good performance. The W92 is not exception and with the 720p display the results only looked better.
Antutu
27,205
This puts it pretty much on par with the Samsung Galaxy S4
Nenamark 2
60.5fps
This is a great score in this test. 1080P display with this SoC score on average around 48fps.
CPU Prime
6432
This put the device 432 points ahead of the LG G2
Bottom line, lots of CPU power.
Vellamo
HTML5
2109
Metal
658
Battery
With the specs listed, one would think the battery life of the W92 would be exceptional. Unfortunately it wasn’t. With light use the phone can easily last a full day but don’t expect much more than that. To test the on screen time I put the phone on a video loop playing a movie with the brightness on auto. It managed a rather weak 4 hours and 43minutes. This leads me to believe the battery isn’t actually 2800 mAh.
Gaming
I tested the device with: Into the dead, Dead Trigger 2, and Front Line Commando 2. All 3 worked very well with no lag but the responsiveness is just not at the same level as Snapdragon devices using Adreno 330 graphics such as the Lenovo Vibe Z I reviewed. Also trying to enjoy games on a 5 inch display is more of a challenge as in my opinion it feels just a tad cramped.
Final Thoughts
The W.D Fone W92 is a solid offering at the $200 price range. It has a good feel to it and performs well overall. I was surprised how well the GPS worked as several recent Mediatek powered devices I’ve used, have still exhibited poor GPS results. The MT6592 performs well as usual and the addition of Android 4.4 KitKat is a welcome addition. Weak areas of the phone are the cameras, and the battery life.
The cameras will only satisfy those that are looking for mediocre results. If you want quality shots, this phone is simply not capable.
I thought the battery life might be a huge pro for this device with it’s 5” 720p display and 2800 mAh battery. but it ended up being rather disappointing. While it will easily make it through a full day for a light user, power users will certainly need a a top up charge.
Those looking for something similar to an updated version of the Lenovo Vibe X at a reduced price might want to take a look.

is the phone still working?
I see this phone for under $130. Was wondering if it is reliable and was worried that they use unreliable screens that will become unresponsive within 2 months. Was going to buy this for my cousins overseas. Honest truth would be appreciated.

THL T11 – Review
One of the first Mediatek MT6592 octa core devices that hit the market was the THL T100. Although it did well on the market it did have some issues. One of the biggest criticisms was the poor battery life. This time around THL have taken the same popular design and transformed it into something a little lower spec’d, a little less expensive, and hopefully a little better as an all around device.
Unboxing
I bought the THL T11 from 1949deal and had it shipped with EMS. It took a few days for the order to process and ship, and then another week and a half in the mail. I’m O.K waiting a little longer as I find EMS works better for me in the area where I live. The device was extremely well packaged to make sure it arrived safely.
The box for the T11 was a fairly plain white box but it did have some specs on the bottom. What I did see was WCDMA listed as 850/1900/2100, which is what I had hoped. Inside was the device, a manual in English, NFC card, a set of standard headphones, a micro-USB cable, and the wall adapter. I also found a screen protector had been installed on the device with a spare in the box, a hard snap-on case as well as a flip style case. I don’t know if the screen protectors and cases came from THL or 1949deal. Regardless, it was a nice gesture and was noticed.
Check out the Unboxing video here.
Specs
5″ 720p display with Gorilla Glass 3
Mediatek MT6592 octa core clocked at 1.7Ghz
2GB RAM/16GB storage
expansion slot for up to 32GB cards
8MP rear and 5 MP front cameras
2750 mAh battery
Check out the full video review here.
Physical features
The THL T11 measures in at 70.4 x 144.3 x 8.4 mm and weights 145 grams.The design is identical to the THL T100 with it’s well known sharp corners. Although it looks very sharp the sides on the back have a nice radius which makes the phone very comfortable to hold.
On the right hand side is the power button.
On the left is the volume rocker.
The 3.5 mm headphone jack and the micro-USB port are both found on top.
As you look at the front the 5 MP camera is on the left.
As you look at the back of the device the 8 MP camera and flash are on the top left with the speaker being on the bottom left.
Display
I think the 1280 x 720 resolution that was chosen for the T11 was definitely the right thing as it still gives 294 ppi. It looks crisp on the 5 ” sizing, is plenty bright, as well as perfectly responsive.
Software
The T11 comes with Android 4.2.2 and is a fairly basic ROM. Depending on what you like it can be a good or a bad thing. If you are looking for fancy, you’re out of luck. If you are looking for basic, fast access Android, then you’ll be right at home.
During my time using the device I didn’t notice any glitches or issues with the ROM, and the stock launcher was smooth enough that I never felt a need to change it.
Wi-Fi
I tested the THL T11 ‘s 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi by taking a reading beside my router, then taking another at the furthest point of my upper level, and a third at the furthest point of my basement.
Router= 27.16 mbps
Upstairs= 25.34 mbps
Basement= 20.08 mbps
These are good results and I didn’t have any issues web browsing, streaming music or videos in any location within my home.
Call quality
The call quality is good on both ends with the T11. With some Mediatek devices people complain about the quality but what I’ve found is the device is usually just quiet and the volume can be raised by accessing engineering mode. I felt the T11 was fine as is.
Speakers
The speaker for the T11 is on the back of the device and does a good enough job, but I would call it average. I tested it with various types of music, video clips, and movies and it did alright. It could have been a touch louder though.
Video Playback
I threw all sorts of video at the T11 and it handled them all with ease. Some people feel the Mali-450MP4 is slightly under-powered but I find it consistently does a great job with all kinds of media. I have to admit I had a hard time enjoying videos on the T11 because I love large screen devices. I had been using a 7″ display so going back down to 5 inches was painful for me.
Web Browsing
Another consistent positive result with MT6592 devices is the web browsing. I used Maxthon browser and found web browsing quick and smooth just as I expected. I opened a bunch of apps and tried to bog the device down, then opened the browser and starting surfing again with good results. Score for the octa core.
Cameras
The T100 had dual 13 MP cameras so one of the down grades with the T11 is in the cameras. The 5 MP front camera did a good enough job with selfies but the 8 MP rear camera was just ok. In bright light it was fine but as soon as the environment became dim, noise started to creep into the shots. Not high quality results, but fine for general use.
GPS
Even thought the MT6592 SoC’s seem to have a better track record with working GPS’ than previous Mediatek chips I still find there are a number of devices that struggle. Luckily the THL T11 is not one of them. I was very surprised at how quickly it got its first cold lock and subsequent locks were always within seconds. To make sure the app tests were accurate I took the T11 for a drive and it performed well on our trip. I used Navfree which works from pre-downloaded maps so there was no data being used to help out.
Benchmarks
As you read through these benchmarks keep in mind that this phone costs just a little over $200, unlocked.

As can be seen by all of the results the T11 scores better than many devices that cost 2-3x more.
Battery
This is were the 5″ 720p display benefits the T11. I figured with t a 2750 mAh battery the device should do quite well, and I was right. The phone can easily make it through an entire day, even with fairly heavy use. When I put it on a video loop with the brightness set to auto the phone made it to the 7 hour mark and still had 5% battery life left.
Gaming
The MT6592 with it’s Mali-450MP4 has proven that it does well with media playback and it also does well with video games. Simple games are a breeze, and even graphically demanding games play fine. High end games like Dead Trigger 2, Front Line Commando 2, and Asphalt 8 get defaulted to mid level graphics settings but still look and play well. Once again the 720p display paired with the 2750 mAh battery will help with allowing longer game play times.
Final Thoughts
Pro’s
Good performance especially considering the reasonable price tag
Very good battery life
Expandable storage giving you up to 48 GB with the combined internal plus expansion card
WCDMA 850/1900/2100 is awesome for people in North America
Fairly strong, reliable Wi-Fi
Con’s
Loud speaker could be a little louder
Cameras are just O.K
Ships with Android 4.2.2
No LTE
The THL T11 is an affordable device that still offers high levels of performance. Many companies are pushing the device screen sizes up to 5.5 inches and beyond. Inevitably this creates a larger device and there are still a lot of consumers that don’t want to go beyond a 5″ display. The T11 respects that and offers a fairly compact device that performs fairly well in all areas. If you are looking for a good all purpose device with good battery life then the THL T11 certainly deserves a closer look.

Great review, thanks!

thanks for this review

thanks for this review
I have this phone and every thing is ok but there is one thing that annoy me.
The three below buttons are not sensitive as well. some times you must tap multiple times on the return button to act.

i got the phone as well.
as long as you use your whole finger its just fine.
anyone can suggest a good rom? i tryed miui but battery drains like 1.5X faster..

confirm 3G works
I just received my T11 and I am very happy with it. Just want to confirm that 3G works with Rogers network here in Canada, in case any fellow Canucks ask! I read reviews saying 3G also works with AT&T in USA.

THL 5000 – Review
We hear lots of news about thin phones but we all know that with that cool thin factor comes very limited battery life. There has always been a portion of mobile users that value long battery life (I’m one of them), so it’s really good to see companies starting to recognize this and make phones based around it. The THL 5000 comes with a lot of good hardware and a fairly low price tag which makes it a very appealing device. Lets have a look and see if the package as a whole comes together to deliver the performance it’s capable of.
Unboxing
I ordered the THL 5000 from 1949deal and had it shipped via EMS. The handset was shipped and arrived in a timely manner. As with previous purchases from the reseller the phone was very well packaged ensuring the product arrived undamaged.
The 5000 came in a somewhat plain white box with the main device specs listed on the back of the box. Inside was the phone, a micro USB cable, a wall adapter, head phones, instructions and a few unexpected extras. These included an OTG adapter, a generic case, a flip cover case, a screen protector installed on the phone and an extra screen protector.
You can check out the unboxing video here.

Physical Features
The THL 5000 measures 144.9 x 72.3 x 8.9 mm and weights 146 grams. Fairly compact and light for a device with a 5000 mAh battery in it if you ask me.
On the top of the device is the micro USB port and 3.5 mm headphone jack.
On the right side is the volume rocker.
On the left side is the power button.
On the front right side is the front facing camera.
On the back left side is the main camera and on the bottom left is the speaker.
Display
The THL 5000 has a 5 inch IPS 1080p display with 441 ppi and Gorilla Glass 3. The display is responsive and crisp, viewing angles are good but it isn’t a vivid capture your attention type display. It gets the job done but doesn’t wow you in the process.
Software
The phone comes preloaded with Android 4.4.2 KitKat and the ROM has very flat looking icons to help capture the newer feel. In general it’s a very standard ROM with very little extra added but it does run quite well. I didn’t experience any major issues to report. Boot time was 28 seconds.
Wi-Fi
The 5000 has 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz wi-fi. My router is now located at the mid point of the basement level.
5 Ghz
Router= 87.52 mbps
Main level(directly above the router)=22.13 mbps
2.4 Ghz
Router=30.88 mbps
Main level (directly above)= 30.14 mbps
Far side of the main level=10.63 mbps
The wi-fi results for the THL 5000 are quite good. I do find it odd that the router reading of the 2.4 Ghz wi-fi is so much lower than the 5 Ghz but it was fairly consistent and covered my entire house.
Call Quality
I had no issues with the making calls on the phone. Everything was fairly clear both using the phone and receiving a call from the phone on a landline.
Speakers
The loud speaker is located on the back of the device and was tested using a variety of different audio tracks and music styles. The speaker volume was average but the sound quality was pretty good. It was clear and did well with all music types. There wasn’t a ton of bass but it was definately present in the sound which is better than many handsets on the market.
Video Playback
I tested the 5000 using VLC and a variety of video clips both online and physically on the phone. The MT6592 has always done well with media and with the bump in clock speed up to 2.0 Ghz the THL 5000 is no exception. Everything played smoothly regardless of format. If you enjoy watching your movies on your phone, the 5000 should definitely be up to the task.
Web Browsing
I used Maxthon browser to test the phones browsing capabilities. i’ve said it many times in the past, that the Mediatek MT6592 does a great job online. The MT6592T at 2.0 Ghz obviously continues with that tradition. Pages load quickly, even if they have images and everything transitions smoothly. No issues here.
Cameras
The THL 5000’s 5 MP front facing camera does a nice job with selfies but it’s really the rear camera that is the superstar. THL used a 13 MP Sony IMX135 Exmor RS with a f/2.0 aperture as the main camera and it really surprised me how well it works. Low light, outdoors, you can put the camera in any situation and it does a nice job with the pictures it takes. Have a look.
GPS
As always the GPS is a concern for many people with a Mediatek based phone. The device does fine in this category which is no doubt a relief to many people looking at purchasing it. My initial lock in airplane mode took several minutes but after that I didn’t have any problems.
I always like to take the phone for a drive to make sure the GPS also works in the real world situations. I tested it out with Google Maps for data assisted navigation and Navfree for no data and both worked well. I’m not saying it’s as responsive as the Qualcomm based handsets I’ve tried but the GPS is certainly usable.

Battery
No doubt, this is the area most people are really curious about. With a 5000 mAh battery in a regular size device, the thing should last forever, right?
I put the screen brightness on auto and put the phone on a video loop. The phone lasted just 7 hours 36 minutes. I find this a bit disappointing, and was expecting much more.
Now to be fair, that is not a bad number for on screen time, but many phones do as well or better with a much smaller battery.
In a daily application the phone does much better. It’s the on screen time that drags the times down quicker than they should. Talk time and standby times are fantastic. If you are a light to medium user the phone should be able to go several days between charges.
Gaming
The Mediatek MT6592T with Mali-450 MP4 proves to be a very competent SoC especially considering the price. As always, it performed well with all types of video games. I tested it with Into the Dead, Go go ghost, Frontline Commando 2, Dead Trigger 2, and Asphalt 8. All the games play well but with games like Dead Trigger 2, and Asphalt 8 the phone will lower the graphics settings to help keep things running smoothly.
Final Thoughts
Pro’s
Good battery life
Very good performance for the price
Very good cameras
Con’s
was expecting a bit more out of the battery
the THL T11 has WCDMA 850/1900/2100 but the THL 5000 has reverted to 850/2100 Mhz
Overall this is a great phone for the price. If you don’t need LTE then this phone is loaded with great hardware making it one of the better buys among Chinese phones. The bump in CPU clock speed from 1.7 Ghz to 2.0 Ghz is a bonus, as are the surprisingly nice cameras. It’s hard to find fault with this handset as THL have covered all the bases well making it a stand out in the shrinking 5 inch and smaller phone segment.
I’ve been very impressed with THL’s progress this year. If they continue on this path with the upcoming MT6595 and 64-bit SoC’s I’m sure they’ll deliver some outstanding phones.

Has battery life (specifically screen on time) improved? Over at Redflagdeals, someone is getting 10 hours SOT very easily on his THL 5000.

Great reading, thank you very much.
I am looking to get a new phone and looking at either this phone or the Doogee DG900. Do you have any experience with the Doogee DG900?
I know the THL doesn't have 4G and the Doogee doesn't have 3G but I live in rural Britain so this is not really an issue for me as I can hardly ever get a 3G signal and I am not subscribed to a 4G service either as it's not that important to me as I would rarely get the opportunity to use it.

What is the Quality from earphones for listening to music? I mean if i put good earphones ill get nice quality or the 3.5 jack can effect the quality etc like some other chinese phones?
