Is Mren C1 (chinese brand) a good mobile phone? - General Questions and Answers

Hello, my aunt showed us this mobile phone she got and basically it was supposed to be sent to us but I'm wondering if it's good for what it has and for what it is. I've never heard of this brand and it's pretty suspicious since it's very cheap for a MTK6589T CPU and a PowerVR SGX 544 GPU. It has a Quad Core, 1.2GHz, Cortex-A7 processor also.

So, what do you think?
Thank you.

I just saw this phone at chinavasion today and yes from looking at the specs, this seems to be an excellent phone. The processor is not the latest and greatest anymore, yet it is Quad Core and the screen is quite big. It has the usual 1 GB RAM, what is important and 960x540 with 5.3 inch, that is also acceptable.
What is very excellent about the phone is it's price and it seems as the 2600 mAh battery in that phone would indeed be 2600 mAh because of the size (physical).
I would say for the money, it is a great phone .

Battery for c1 M.Ren
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery for this phone?

[Q] Best place to buy generic android phones?

I've been looking at knockoff android phones from a couple of different sites. Being a nerdist that I am I thought about getting one of these generic phones to use as a multimedia device. I thought about getting one of the quadcore phablets to use since some of them are pretty cheap but I don't plan on using cell service with it. I'm stuck on Verizon so this is purely a small(ish) wifi media device.
I've looked at Android-sale.com and pandawill.com and wanted to know if anybody else knew of any other good sites to order from. I've seen a lot of posts about the Goodphone i5 in the general threads and saw the Goophone i9 up on Android-sale that looked interesting.
Can anybody recommend me a good site/phablet to order from. Preferably want a site that uses paypal since I don't trust giving cc info out to one of these websites? Thanks for the help.

Gaming Phone

I was wondering one day......
" Since there is gaming PC's, I wonder if there is Gaming Smart Phones!"
I googled around and no luck.
Comment down below if you have found a Gaming Phone or you think it would be a good idea?
p.s. By definition of a Gaming Phone i mean like REALLY good processor graphics card and stuff like that. A phone that completely blows away daily phones similar to how gaming computers defeats the competion of regular Desktops.
Be on the lookout for octa-core phones, I believe the Galaxy S4 has one *somewhere* out there, but not sure on graphics.
Now that I searched for GS4, I found out there is an octa-core model (clocked at 1.6ghz vs quad 1.9ghz), but no LTE support outside Asia. So unless you stick to mostly WiFi, that is out.
Edit: Upon further research, there is a Zopo ZP980+ that dons a 1.7 GHz octa-core CPU with a Mali-450 MP4 [email protected] MHz, which seems to be better, with a decent price tag, not sure on LTE or even 4g support though.

Best price/performance phone for gaming?

Greetings.
So it's soon my birthday and I'm thinking of replacing my good old ZTE Blade phone for a new one.
And I'm looking for a budget device mostly for gaming and emulating. Is there a website with performance listings or something?
I used THIS website to check GPU Gflops but they don't really matter that much since some phones were stuttering on games like vice city.
So these are the phones I'm looking in to since they're cheap and they have great hardware.
The pricing like this is in Lithuania so the phone might be cheaper on your country.
They might look very cheap to you but here minimum monthly wage is 260 euros.
Gigabyte Gsmart Akta A4. ( 129,99€ )
Display 540 x 960
Chipset Mediatek MT6592
CPU Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7
GPU Mali-450MP4
MEMORY Internal 8 GB, 1 GB RAM
BATTERY Li-Ion 1800 mAh battery
LG E975 Optimus G ( 227,35 € )
Display 768 x 1280 pixels
Chipset Qualcomm MDM9615/APQ8064
CPU Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait
GPU Adreno 320
MEMORY 32 GB (25 GB user available), 2 GB RAM
BATTERY Non-removable Li-Po 2100 mAh battery
LG G2 ( 269,00 € )
Display 1080 x 1920 pixels
Chipset Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800
CPU Quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400
GPU Adreno 330
MEMORY 16/32 GB, 2 GB RAM
BATTERY Non-removable Li-Po 3000 mAh battery
Nexus 5 here costs whopping 356.23 € and it's the cheapest I found. It goes for 400 average.
So what would you recommend out of these 3?
And most importantly, do you know any other budget gaming phones with great performance?
I think 1080P display is too much it takes too much power out of the GPU and most games don't have an option to change render resolution.
The best spot for it would be 720P at most.
I want to play graphically intensive games like GTA San Andreas and emulate Nintendo DS and etc.
And here's the looks of the three mentioned phones:
Anyone?
Well i must recommend you the Nvidia Shiels Tablet....
I this this is one of the best for gaming purpose..

The Better Phone..

Hello All,
I'm looking at either the BLU Vivo IV 5.5mm, or the BLU Vivo Air LTE 5.1mm,
I just love the super thin design of them both.. but, I'm kind of a newb to cell tech!?
What I'm not sure about are the Chipset/CPU & GPU, I've read quite a bit about them both & I'm still not quite sure what is better!? lol
Q: Which phone is better/faster?
Specs:
BLU Vivo IV. MAY 2014. NOW $250.
Size: 5.0 inches. BETTER!
Resolution: Super AMOLED, 1080 x 1920 pixels (441 ppi). BETTER!
Chipset: Mediatek MT6592. NOT SURE?
CPU: Octa-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7. NOT SURE?
GPU: Mali-450MP4. NOT SURE?
Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.
Camera: 13MP/5MP. BETTER!
Battery: 2300 mAh. BETTER!
BLU Vivo Air LTE. SEP 2015. NOW $150.
Size: 4.8 inches. WORSE!
Resolution: AMOLED, 720 x 1280 pixels (306 ppi). WORSE!
Chipset: Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410. NOT SURE?
CPU: Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53. NOT SURE?
GPU: Adreno 306. NOT SURE?
Memory: 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. SAME.
Camera: 8MP/5MP. WORSE!
Battery: 2050 mAh. WORSE!
Use: I'll be using the phone for calls (1-2 a week), light gaming, would like good graphics/FPS, & using as a security device for two step authentication for online accounts etc.
Thanks for the help, Phil B.
In terms of which is faster the blu vivo iv has better specifications and is faster then the air. Also because of the airs smaller and lower res screen and lower res camera I think the iv would be the better choice. However if you want the phone as thin as possible and would like to pay a bit less then the air may not be a bad choice though I think the 4 would be better for your needs.
Just my thoughts and the choice is up to you in the ene.
Hope this helps.

Cube Talk 9x still the best tablet you can buy under $160!

I just got my Cube talk 9x. I really like it. I know it is old about two years but for me it is new. I have been wanting an octa core tablet just because I am a nerd and just to experience it on a tablet. I do not like Samsung Tablets and certainly did not want to spend that kind of money. I already have an Nvidia K1 and I really like it for a lot of reasons but I wanted a bigger screen and an Octa core processor with longer battery life than my Nvidia. I love the Nvidia but the battery life leaves a lot to be desired.
I did not want to spend a lot of money, $200 being my limit. As you can imagine that does not buy much in larger format tablets. First I started with the cheap amazon octa cores with the Allwiner a83t and the likes of Dragon Touch. Thank God for Amazon prime returns! Those devices were just awful and the Allwinner A83t was not a good processor. I was very wary of buying a tablet direct from China. Heard some horror stories but I took a risk anyway.
Had a bad experience with Gearbest.com but had the Cube talk 9x enough to know it was a good device even though the first one was defective. Dealing with Gear best turned into a PayPal claim.
I tried Geekbuying and had a much better experience.
So now I have my Cube and I received new March 17th update. Of course I was hoping for Lollipop but no. Still on KitKat but I have to say it is very smooth. Very stable build of Android. Ram usage seems very well optimized.
So what makes this tablet special? Well for the cost only one other tablet in this size range has the same amount of ram which is the Lenovo tab2 a10. The Lenovo is nice with a 64 bit quad core cortex a53 media tek processor clocked at 1.7, full HD screen. However the Cube has a 32 bit octa core cortex a7 clocked at 1.7 and a retina screen. The Cube is made from a solid Aluminum body while the Lenovo is plastic. The Cube also has gorilla glass 2 while the Lenovo just has glass. Acer has a new 10.1" tab with a mediatek 8151 cortex a53 octa core processor and 1 GB ram and a 1280 x 800 screen. Unfortunately the low res screen and 1 GB of ram really hurt the user experience. The acer also feels cheap and is full of pre loaded apps. I bought the Acer only to return it because of the glitchy or defective WiFi and other things I mentioned.
Of course you could spend a lot more and have a super experience but I just can't justify $500 or more on a tablet. My computer costs about that much.
The Cube seems really well made. The updates after 2 years since it's release from a no name company is impressive as some of the brands I have had above barely udate their tablets. I still think Cube should release Lollipop but KitKat works well.
This tablet has the 1.7 GHz octa core processor, 2 gigs of ram, retina screen, 3g, 16 gig ROM, stereo speakers at the bottom of the tablet, 10,000 mah battery. Pretty impressive specs even for an older device. The limitations of the of the device are the 32 bit a7 cores used are better for power efficiency than performance. The newer mediatek 8151 which has the newer cortex 64 bit a53 cores perform much better while still being rather power efficient. For example the Acer with only 1gb or ram scored over 37,000 points on Anutu while the talk 9x with double the ram scored only 28,000 points roughly. Acer did a very good job of optimizing the ROM on their tablet. The Cube T9 has the newer octa core processor but it was over my price range.
However this tablet stock unrooted performs really well. There was not a lot of junk apps installed and most apps give you an option to install to SD card. Really the only drawback to this tablet is the partitioning. Seems like a common practice on the tablets from China. Not sure why. A horrible practice. You can root the device and try to repartition it but you could also brick the device in the process. The mediatek tools at not the easiest for me to use so I am not going to go there. Specially when the tablet runs great .
So I highly recommend this tablet with a couple of caveats. It is at the end of its life so it is really cheap but if you think it will be updated to Marshmallow or N you can forget it. Lollipop could happn but I would not hold my breath. The 2 gig app limit really sucks and there is no easy way to solve the problem.
So if you are looking for an amazing device for a good price I do not know of a better deal anywhere. Is the Octacore hype. Personally I don't think so. Sure there is marketing hype but the Octacore really feels snappy while the huge battery makes it last!
There are not a lot of these devices left. Seems Cube is now focused on dual boot tablets with Intel processors. I wish they would come out with a new octacore processor android tablet like the Nvidia x1 or the newer cortex a53 octa core from mediated. The t9 if you can find it would perform even better but the build quality and aluminum frame just really make this an enjoyable experience. If you want one I would act now.
Thanks for the first details of the tablet. Have you had a chance to test battery life yet?
I haven't let it run down yet. The lowest I got was to 79%. The charger and cable that come with the device are pretty much useless. Using a Lenovo 2amp tablet charger seems to charge pretty quickly. It does not have fast charge but so far it seems to charge up pretty fast and last pretty long. I will try and see if I can run down the battery to give a better approximation of the run time.
