This is a high tech times, which inspired most manufacturers in cellphone creating its best geek to draw their customers' attention. In China, there are numerous brands which is well-known to all, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Lenovo, Oppo and so on, which can even beat Samsung and Apple in sales. People tend to pursue and prefer the inexpensive device with good performance to those the luxury things. Therefore, Lenovo also has made a big step to create the iphone 6 clone, named as Lenovo Sisley S90. And can you believe it will be the best clone of iphone 6? See more details with me about the real test of Lenovo Sisley S90.
First, in view of the apperance, i was shocked by the lookalike of iphone 6, although it's not the 1:1 clone of iphone 6. Due to its larger screen with 5inch 1280*720p HD IPS screen of Lenovo Sisley S90, i love its screen and display. It's easy to hold and take. When i hold it, it is so thinner than other lenovo smartphones. Lenovo has made great progress on its weight and design.
Second, this time, Lenovo didn't use the MTK chipset but Snapdragon 410 Quad core 1.2ghz CPU, from the chipset, it will be better to use snapdragon chipest, it runs faster than mtk chipset. When i play "temple run", the speed is extremely swift. Lenovo s90 has 19219 high antutu test score. i like the whole performance. I never worry about the crashing of my smartphone.
Third, as for me, i think ram 1gb is not enough to store the apps i want, but 16gb rom is completely enough to download the ideal videos or games for me. I strongly advice lenovo s90 should release RAM 2gb version. Right now, i am enjoying it. Hope it can let me enjoy more.
Fourth, nowadays, the system of Android4.4 kitkat enjoys wide popularity. It's no exception for this nice Lenovo Sisley S90, although it's android4.4 OS, i believe it will be updated Android5.0 lollipop OS. Therefore, i will enjoy the new UI.
Fifth, it's said that Lenovo Sisley S90 is famous for the dual camera, which provide the ultra-clear and auto shooting function. It has 13.0MP Rear Camera and 8.0MP Front Camera, higher than other smartphones like Huawei, ZTE and so on. This good feature attracts me a lot. I can take every beautiful moment by this smartphone.
Latest but not least, 4G LTE network has been a tendency around the world, this lenovo s90 supports 4G FDD LTE network, which can be used in Europe and other countries. GPS is also necessary in a smartphone. I can use google map to position the way i want.
Therefore, lenovo s90 is a super competivie smartphone for me. I have not only experienced the dual camera, but also test the battery with 2300 mAh, which can support long-time working. Hope my experience will be helpful for you.

Sent from my Lenovo S90-A using XDA Free mobile app
i believe it's not hd ips, it's super amoled. I got champagne gold 32gb S90-A. its lollipop 5.0.2 update messes alot of its performance. it drains fast, a bit laggy, sounds too low, camera not its best both front and back. But if you are not into details, L update is just ok for you except for the battery drains faster. i suggest stay on kitkat until they fix the problem.

Hello everyone.
I was surfing the web yesterday and I discovered pretty weird android phone and wanted to share it with you guy. I don't know if you have heard about the phone ZOPO ZP980. If yes, please can you provide with more info, because i couldn't find any benchmarks or additional info.
So, the phone is 5 inch, Full HD, 13.1MP + 5MP front camera.
It has some kind of 4core CPU: MTK MT65891.2GHz, Cortex-A7 quad-core
GPU: Power VR SGX544
It looks pretty handsome and I kind of like it
It comes with 4/16GB ROM and 1GB RAM + sdCard support.
The best part is that it costs only 250$
So, everything looks like a high end expensive spartphone. But sounds too good to be true, so whats the problem with it?
I don't know what to expect from that phone as it is made in china. But sounds pretty cool.
Here's the official website link: http://www.zopomobileshop.com/en/10...d-13-mp-camera-mt6589-android-smartphone.html
Do you know about this phone? May be anyone owns it? Can you provide more info?

Zopo 980 is actually a really good device for those looking to switch from iPhone. It's obviously physically similar - making it easier to adjust versus typical phablet type devices.

I was in the market too for this phone, but in the end I decided otherwise. I've ordered the UMi X2T.
Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtEzLsxd178 you have some extra info.
Been using the Zopo C2 (1Gb Ram 4Gb ROM) for the last 2 weeks. Frankly love the phone. The display is just amazing. 441 PPI.My colleagues have HTC One n Butterfly n Samsung S4 the display is just as good if not better viewing angles are amazing too. I've been playing Subway surfers n temple run with out any lag. Heavy games like Contract killer2 which gets stuck on my S3, works seamlessly on this. Antutu benchmark is a little under 12k. For the price $220 its much more than worth its price.

Hi, I'm trying to get a cellphone, between $100 - $175 dollars at the most but mostly with these specs, I don't need anything expensive right now, since this would be a gift:
RAM: 768 MB - 1GB
Processor: does not matter
Camera: 5MP at least
OS: Android
Could you recommend some models? I would appreciate the help, thank you!
I recommend you 1GB RAM, I have a galaxy ace 2 with 768mb of ram and you can notice the lack of ram.
Don't recommend samsung, makes a lot of models and left unupdated the old ones despite they are quite capable.
xiaomi red rice seems a good option although it seems a bit difficult to get nowadays. Jiayu phones are not bad and ZTE, zopo and THL W100 seems good options.
Hope this helps, may be if you had a list of the phones you are able to buy we cold help you more :angel:

I've looked these ones:
Lenovo A820
Huawei Ascen Y300
LG Optimus L5
Any idea? thanks for the suggestions!
My preferences are the order you wrote
The best option is Lenovo A820 : 1GB Ram, 8mp camera, better screen resolution
The other two only have 512mb Ram, and 5 mp camera. Huawei has better screen resolution than lg.
Hope this helps.

Yeah! the only problem is that it has no flash but all the other specs are quite better. Yo could try moto G as says on the other message.
Lenovo is the biggest chinese laptop manufacturer, bought IBM and manufactures with their technology. I've read that phones are good
Which is your price limit?? maybe there are more options?? What about xiaomi red rice??

Well, Moto G must be above $200 dollars, which is not an option, this is a gift that I will give in the meantime, while this person does not get her new phone from the provider, and she needs one now; I did not know about the Xiaomi one, but the price exceeds the limit, thanks for the suggestions!

3. 25 Dec-2013 (DPI CHANGED) http://d-h.st/P7H
Issues
1. my earlier post:""1.it used to crash almost 3-4 times and was hoping next firmware update will solve this but even after updating 16-Dec update it still has the problem. Now i tried another fix that I have fully charged it and then cleared the battery stats from root tools app from Google play.I can see great improvement in battery draining and so far there is none switch off issue,but I will update about it later.
2. This tab has got Huawei ultra stick 3g mobile broadband. I am experiencing signal problem most of the time. And if I turn off the screen there is no cellular service after that until I reboot. Solved in 25 Dec update.
3. Most important thing. When I bought this piece it used to produce static noise (heard clearly in speakers)very much while charging/not charging, screen flicker and used to get crash. I though it was due to poor quality control of Chinese mfr and so disassembled whole tab again assembled it and re rooted speakers wires as they were very close to battery wires..after all this binary I don't get now the said problems.
In the end I pay my respects to all especially cracktech and datagr for helping out all members. I hope you ppl will help solving the problems of this device as its a very good hardware just need right software.

After talking to support centre the rom which i received was good in a way that cellular service improved. But DPI was set to 239 and everything was out of shape i could not even run swiftkey keyboard. Crashing issue is still there i ran Antutu benchmarking i got random results like 24222 and 134444 and rom was still crashing but only in games in my experience unlike before when it used to give random crashes..i have now reflashed with userdata.img and system.img files of 24 dec and rest all files from 16 Dec, I got back again to good DPI but i think i might have signal problem with screen off. i will get back when after observing it.
cracktech do anywhere in rom after installation we can see changelog as i could not find. i think before making any of the improvement you are mentioning first we should have a stable rom. Can you ask some senior help in this regard?

Hello everyone. I'm shopping for a new tablet, and I see you guys have something going with this. I just wanted to see would it be worth buying this tablet? Right now, its this or the Pipo M8 HD. One of many concerns is the battery, especially with the Octa core cpu. It would be nice to be able to see that improve. How many hours at current will the tablet last in standby and causal use? Thank you very much.

Please keep us updated have you rooted the firmware yet using the roottools given? Glad to know that they corrected the DPI settings in the 25-Dec firmware. They are sure moving very fast on the updates 24-Dec and 25-Dec version in one go. I am waiting for my PiPo M9Pro which is getting its KiTKat version anyday now updated from 4.2.2.

Reply @ cracktech
First. i apologize for reffering A18 as A16, it was just a silly mistake.Let me second cracktech that this device is really paying its price. Good solid hardware with amazing performance (and cheap).
@cracktech i am sure it will be octa core i was not just sure how to check it. thanks for upload.
Friends i feel it easy to root with automatic tool provided by cracktec (vroot) it is pretty easy and quick and works with most devices.
by the way 25 Dec update is up on official chinese website too.
Cracktech sir, its a pleasure to learn from you. Can you tell me something about pipo m9 pro is it worth buying it, it is RK3188 Quad core, good battery 32 gb and in china i can get it for about 173 USD. normally chinese tablets dont have good camera etc? and is RK chipset are good?
Excellent

Stallionrider we dont need to refer to ourselves as YES SIR/NO SIR just my our handle name (cracktech/stallionrider). and NO need for apologies we all make mistakes and i am not an expert just experienced through using various devices from Android 2.2 to 4.3 and CWM/TWRP ROMs,I am only about 4 years old on Android but I started off at INTEL Corpn using IBM DOS 1.0 to MS DOS and Windows 7 and learning up on Win8 now since 1970's and had seen COMPAQ grow from a US Taiwanese part workshop assembler to what it is(was) right now.
I dont do this Android stuff for money I am on various Forums helping out other people and happy that my suggestions are successful in helping out problems. I am on RK3188 Quad Core Forums, AML DuoCoreForums and now with your port OctaCoreForums.
I maybe thinking of starting an online store regionally to start making some money by selling this devices in 2014 (after 4years!)
Hey I am glad that you manage to root your device with my given solution (VROOT eeehhh!).By the way that is the latest version of VROOT so keep following up on its updates, better to use automated rooting rather than manual rooting (no need to understand the chown/chmod) a lot of hassle any wrong statement in the script you will have to reflash the whole device.But it is needed to understand the different method of Rooting and "push" into the system further modifications.
Excellent.
RK3188 Quad Core esp. PiPo M9Pro

There are at least 2 Forums supporting this M9Pro and the support is great (eeheem I am on Archtablet Forum M9pro-KASTY ROM) there is another FREAKTAB- RILEY ROM and the pressure we put on the factory is such that they listen to our feedback like, at one time Skype doesnt work, wifi doesnt connect and everry month they keep updating the firmware(reflashing the device every month is tedious) to the point that it is stable now and everybody is happy with it (the users) except that if you happen to come across a manufacturing defect that escaped the QA then you will find yourself returning the good to the seller everything on the firmware front is A-OK now. See my signature dates. The camera is above average (7/10) the sound quality is excellent for a pad. the screen is excellent(although it taxes the graphic processor and may look a bit sluggish).
The firmware from either KASTY or RILEY is pre-rooted you dont have to worry about rooting.The GPS has signal weakness (due to teh metal back cover) but I have prepared for the Forum members a fix that can get GPS fix in under 10seconds or less.
Thats it for the PiPo M9Pro
Hands on Gionee Elife E7
Hi guys. yesterday i got my hands on latest Gionee E7 and immediately i tried for rooting via Vroot as Google play store was not pre installed but to my horror something went wrong and now the device is very lagy and touch is hardly working. Till now Gionee has not uploaded its stock rom so i am stuck, any guidance what went wrong.
@cracktech,
Thanks for the update, I had been watching the M9 Pro as well. I've also, been watching the M8 HD, which seems pretty nice as well. However, if this tablet seem promising with nice battery life, then I may switch

The PiPo M9Pro firmware can be declared as "matured" just waiting for KitKat update only since its siblings has got a KitKat version firmware ready. It might take a while before they decide to port KitKat (or not) to M9Pro but as it stands it is stable with all the issues we raised to factory resolved.The battery life is decent if not spectacular.
The Exynos 5410 devices on the other hand has still got a long way to go before it is excepted as the "King" of Chinese high end pad and adopted by manufacturers (I reckon another 18 months) with its poor battery life is yet to be resolved. (neither TEAMGEE or VOYO) we will have to modify the battery with bigger capacity batteries (need to look around for the dimensions is critical) but I doubt it.
I need to study this device to support potential Forum members and customers..
On the TEAMGee side we lost "Diquan2001" who originally co-founded the thread with me due to lack of support from TEAM GEE factoy and his frustration with the battery life and he sold off his TG Super8. Therefore ending firmware updates support.Hope this does not happen to VOYO factory.
I left Slatedroid because the ZENITHINK brand ended their support into their Engineering Dept. (this is due to them thinking that they had obtained the critical mass volume). That the nature of the Chi****.

For your information on the Ultrastick 3/4G. Yes it is compatible on 900Mhz GSM
It has 8000mAh battery unlike TEAM GEE
Sorry to disappoint, but a previous attempt to develop w w w.htcmanía.com firmware voyo A15, which was cut short by the total lack of support, both Voyo, as Urbetter.
The Voyo A18 is equal ... not release the kernel source (ever they have done) and their clients only have good hardware, they can not be used by a bad firmware.
Only I do not recommend buying products manufactured by urbetter (Voyo A15, Voyo A18 , Tamgee super8) to publish the sources of their kernels (Something that will not do, is that bad in business).
I've been getting confused with which mobile to go with. My phone specs are Quadcore processor, 5MP Camera/ I've shortlisted some. Here they are: Lenovo p780, Lenovo s820, Sony Xperia C, Blackberry z10. Please check these and suggest a better phone which has better service and performance. Awaiting a quick and useful reply.

Nexus 5
Lots of phones are better than that... Which I suspect is the problem the sony xperia SP offers a very good price to spec ratio

Moto G? It is most popular smart phone of Moto.

Looking forward to your list.. I would suggest Lenovo P780 would be the best phone for you.. As per my experience.. I've used it personally & as per performance it's pretty good at that price.. P780 is best known for its battery life.. Currently unbeatable.. As compared to other phones in the list.. But before buying P780 just keep one thing in mind.. There are two models which are available in the market right now.. 4GB & 8GB.. 4GB one has internal storage shortage as half of the memory is used by the OS.. So go for the 8GB one.. If you need any more information please revert back..
Hit Thanks if I helped you.. :beer:

I have a Bush Spira B1 (5inch, dual sim android 4.4.2, 5mp back camera, 2mp front camera, 8gb internal memory, 1gb ram, retailing in argos for £69.99)
I've only had it just over 30 days and it rebooted this evening but does not boot into android, after the boot and splash screens I get a blank screen and no operating system.
Anyone have any idea or knowledge of this device?
Why won't it finish boot? No system or any other changes have been made.
Apparently this is a rebranded Archos 50 neon, and carries the model number C50CNE.

Sounds like a piece of $hit.
Its most likely some chinese knock off.

I took it back and got a full refund.
Thanks for your optimistic comment though.

Sorry, lol, I havent ever heard of this phone, usually alot of people who buy phones that die like 30 days later are the Chinese ones.
Its ok. No offence taken.
I brought it because the spec seemed quite respectable.
Sim free (unlocked)
5" IPS screen
Qualcom snapdragon quad core processor
Dual sim
8gb internal memory
1gb ram
Android 4.4.2 KitKat
8mp back camera
5mp front camera
£10 lebra mobile credit included on a free sim card
£10 Google play voucher
Black or white back battery cover and a clear gel case included.
£69.95
My own investigation found out that all bush phones and tablets available in UK are rebranded Archos devices.
The Spira B1 seems to be identical to the Archos C50 Neon.
There are bigger and better phones available (Namely the Spira C1 and Spira D1 that have 5.2 and 5.5" screens and lollipop) for £99 and £120 respectively.
The previous 4 and 5 inch Bush android phones and tablets available until April this year in the UK (that were called bush 4 android and bush 5 android) have now been rebranded as Alba devices !
Here it is.
I have a Bush Spira C1. I bought it from Argos. I too cannot currently find anyway to root my device. I'm gradually running out of space, as I'm unable to use Link2SD without root. Any assistance for us would be gratefully received. Thank you in advance. P.S. I have searched XDA, but cannot find any other reference to our devices.

Not everyone can afford a £600 phone. Some people are quite happy with the basics.

Same problem here, my dad has the Spira B1. I'll update if I find something.
[Update]
Managed to root with KingoRoot using the Windows software. Just need to find a way to replace their superuser app with SuperSU now.
superuser just crashes on this phone supersu sort of works it roots the phone but the pop up for su prompt is blocked so just sits there if set to always grant root works but is a bit of a security issue and practically all phones are produced in china now even the over priced ones and the chipset for the phone is spreadtrum the cpu is a quad 1.2 with a mali mp2 gpu so performance is reasonable but the touch screen is only 2 touch and it is a rebranded Archos 50c neon but the update firmware they have available at the archos site is older than what is installed on the phone so won't install.
