I own it this is a really nice phone. I'm living in China so I bought it for 1888 RMB, I guess it's going to cost a little more from retailers.
You can find tutorials to root it, flash a CWM based recovery and you can find ROMs over there to get the gapps working and other optimization.

Any questions? Feel free to ask

t was just a matter of time before this could actually happen. The Oppo N1 smartphone, which was launched earlier this year with rotating camera, has now been cloned and is available for sale. These clones are now becoming popular among the smartphone industry pretty fast, since most of the flagship devices these days have very high price tag which cannot be afforded by each and every common man. Considering price factor and reliability, the Oppo N1 clone, iNew V8 proves out to be pretty good against the pricey flagship. One should be careful while buying genuine brands.

V8 Plus is a upgrate version of V8; and there isnt big difference between them, some parameter will be upgrate and better,
like frequecy of CPU,

Has anyone been able to get Android 5 or 6 for this phone, I believe its powerful enough to do it but for some reason not many people developed / ported for it. A Hexacore and Octacore device that's slept on.

It sounds great. Even bigger than my Z Ultra!
A question: Does anyone know if the Dual SIM is "active" -- that is to say that each SIM has its own circuitry, allowing for two different carriers?
I spend time in both the US and in Europe, so I need a European carrier (Orange) and an American carrier (Net10).

I would imagine. The band support is slightly different for each. It also says dual card/dual standby in the spec sheet here so that probably means you can standby on two different networks simultaneously.

I've been looking at this phone ever since it was announced at MWC and searching every day for news about it. It is available at pompmall for preorder and coming out on April 7. I am a bit wary since the screen colors don't look as good as the X1, and its not something that can be fixed with a color temp slider, but we shall see. I have been debating between this and the X1 since that is cheaper and almost the same thing, but some key specs make the X2 worth paying more for and waiting for.
The X1 has a rather disappointing kirin 910 that benches even worse than a Galaxy S4. It is also, for all intents and purposes, stuck on 4.2 if you want a non-broken UI. The 4.4 I hear has many issues. Chinese phones in general, whatever Android version is preloaded is what you should expect and no more. Any upgrades are basically landmines since they hire a few monkeys and pay them with bananas to upgrade the software. The X2 will have lollipop from the get go.
The kirin 930 is also much much faster than the 910, although I wish the GPU was a bit more powerful. Qualcomm has been having issues with the Snapdragon 810 running the A57 cores and overheating at 2Ghz. Huawei has had crap processors in the past (cough kirin 910, 920, etc.) but I would imagine the 930 to be somewhat competent since it is basically just a 64bit version of their "slightly" older kirin processors in the Honor 6 and Mate 7 that had A15 cores. After so many iterations with A15/A57 they should be at least somewhat okay by now after so much trial and error. The big ass 7" will probably help with any thermal issues.
The other thing that will probably be a sizeable upgrade is the f/2.0 rear camera that will likely be the same IMX214 from the Mate 7. I just hope they actually improved the processing from the Mate 7. It didn't take very good pics and the X1 with the f/2.2 IMX135 was even worse. The front facing camera is now 22mm wide although it still has a sad f/2.4. I am probably expecting too much from Huawei since I have yet to find a phone from them that actually takes good pics but one can hope since it is a new year and they are willing to place their flagship kirin 930 into this big boy so maybe other changes are in store as well.
I like the metal-ish HTC like design of the X2 front more than the all glass generic look of the X1. Except I am partial to the dark blue back of the X1 black version.
Fun fact. Technically this phone is as wide as a 7.5" device since it has an android tablet aspect ratio of 16:10 instead of 16:9. I have always hated the extra long or extra tall look of 16:9 for anything but movies in landscape. I wish the bezels were thinner though, as the side bezels aren't really up to flagship level and makes it wider than it needs to be, even by a few mm.

Thanks, If I use two SIM cards, means I can't use SD card, it support full active?

Someone managed to combine the SIM with the micro SD card,
which makes X2 become dual 4G with micro SD inserted.
You can try vut do this on your own risk.

The real smartphone king

In 2018 many new budget oriented smartphones were launched but lets see who is the real smartphone king. many big companies have are launching their budget smartphones but only few of them have actually proved themselves as mightiest.
in today's discussion i am going to say which smartphone has really good at it's price point.
I will list down top 3 budget smartphones (i.e upto 15,000 ruppes)
1. REDMI NOTE 5 PRO
The real beast still remains the redmi note 5 pro since it gives true value for money.
the phone feature's latest qualcomm snapdragon 636 octacore processor, 4GB ram and has dual rear facing camera i.e 12MP + 5MP dual camera
Sony primary sensor, 1.25μm pixels and 20MP front facing camera with led flash light and face unlock . Though the rear facing camera look's like iphone x but still result's pretty good. it also has 6 inch FHD+ display with new 18:9 aspect ratio and comes with massive 4000mah battery capacity.
however the smartphone higher GB varient i.e for 6GB ram, the pricing is still high.
2.ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1.
The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is just like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, but includes stock Android. The same hardware that makes the Xiaomi phone on the best performers at that price, is also there on the Zenfone Max Pro M1(i.e snapdragon 636 octacore processors) .But the flavour is stock Android 8.1 Oreo. Apart from that you get a sturdy build quality and decent 16-megapixel dual cameras at the back. Easily one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
3.OPPO REALME 1.
this year oppo is launching quite unique and attractive products.This year now oppo has has launched it's new brand realme and it's one of the product realme 1 is one othe best smartphone of 2018
The Realme 1 is a new entrant in the mid-range market and it hopes to topple the best by offering a maxed-out spec sheet which includes 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage and Mediatek helio p60 processor which is even good than qualcomm snapdragon 636 processors. But because of missing fingerprint scanner and dual rear camera setup,i have placed it in 3rd position.But all that firepower surely makes the Realme 1 one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
