Hey all
This is LG's second attempt in the flex series of smartphones. This version features an updated 1080p screen from the outgoing 720p display found in the first version, but LG has made the decision to reduce the display size to 5.5 inches from 6 inches, making the device a little more pocket friendly. LG have also increased the curve from 2 points to 4, they claim making the device feel even more natural in the hand. The device is also one of the first to boast the snapdragon 810 chipset, which offers 64 bit instruction set and access to LPDDR4 RAM. The processor itself is made using a 20nm process, increasing the devices power efficiency. The flex 2 also offers the latest Adreno™ 430 GPU, offering 30% better performance, 20% less power usage than last generation of snapdragon chipset. Coming in with 2 versions, a 16 GB with 2 GB of RAM and a 32 GB offering 3 GB.
But the standout feature is that curved display, what do members make of it, useful feature, or just another gimmick?

just another useless phone from LG
seems like it could be an interesting toy
Wonder if there's any chance it'll get wireless charging.
Silly to ask for, but it's become so convenient that I think I'd miss it.

Doubt it, if you flex it a bit now and then it would break the coil.
To be honest, the phone curving is really note useful.

Maybe not for you, but for us who owned or used a G Flex mostly loves it. There are millions of other flat phones, you didn't need to come here and waste time.
I am disappointed in the RAM. They should be offering 3 standard, with an option for 4. Other than that, it is impressive.
why are they showing a photo of the first g flex in this forum? also it looks like a nice device but i may stay clear of any devices that release with the s810 until they revise it because of overheating.

Any person on XDA would read reviews before buying a device. We'll see by the end of the week, when south Korea gets the first batch, if there is any problem and if so how bad it is. My guess is it's not as bad as media rumours make it sound.
Awesome phone. Will buy soon.

Do you know when the first in Korea goes out to costumers? LG said 30th, but not a single unboxing online, it did all go to people who don't use the internet?

It was a strange situation... I preordered on the 23rd, but my order was canceled. I ordered again today. The first time, the 공시지원금 (not sure how to translate...) was missing. The second time, it was added (so the phone was MUCH cheaper!!). I think all the preorders were canceled to add the 공시지원금.
I think the phone was also available in a few stores starting today, so there should be some unboxings soon.

More mp doesn't = better camera
Infact in many cases it will give worse shots in anything but ideal lighting conditions.

Thats generalizing saying more mp doesnt equal a better camera and true to a point only.
My note 4 takes far better shots than my note 3 or 2 and guess what..more mp.
In your thinking it should be worse lol. We all know there is much more to a camera than mp dude...goes without saying pretty much.
Perhaps i should have just said im surprised they didnt improve the camera lol?

Sorry I didn't mean to sound like it's the only factor, it just seemed that you really wanted more mp. Apparently they have made some improvements to the ois and the software so it may well give better images than the g3 anyway.

I'm actually quite tempted.
I'm one of those oddballs who doesn't mind large devices, and that being the case its mostly positives from where I'm sitting (obviously will be too large for many to use as their day-to-day phone!).
that 7,7 Tab sure is nice but i just bought a GT10 some weeks ago so i wont be able to afford it
Maybe i can sell my tab and sgs2 and use this lol
Iam wondering how the Phone function will be implemented in the tab
I'm really tempted on the Note but what are its full specs? I already know about the screen but what are the rest?

all i've seen is a couple videos, i believe this is true:
dual 1.4 or 1.5Ghz
5.3 or 5.5 samold (Super HD) screen
stylus (wwoooohooooo !)
8MP rear cam
1.4MP front facing cam
2600Mah battery (wooooohoooooooooo!)
gsm and/or lte
it is a little big for a phone, a little small for a tab... but i think it is going to make some huge waves in the market. possibilities with a size like that are awesome.
things to hope for:
DLNA
hdmi-out
1Gb internal memory
microsd
dual sims
noise cancelling mics
GOOD GPS
awesome antenna
awesome battery life
i'm really looking forward to a long lasting device in STOCK FORM without a huge battery hanging off the back. we'll see if this comes through or not. i will be buying as soon as the early adopters confirm the bugs are minimal and livable. hope !

thanks, now I'm even more tempted now. I can't wait until they release this. Is there an estimated release date yet? I would sell my SGS2 for this.
What I discovered:
5.3 HD Superamoled
1.4 Ghz Exynos
1 Gbyte RAM
LTE and HSDPA
16/32 Gbyte versions

The note and it's display is extremely nice, but I don't think I could fit a 5.3" phone into my pockets.
fascinating..
I'd LOVE this. Undoubtedly a late US release. Question is when til Espansys etc will have it?
Seems like this is more of a Tablet than a Phone, which kind of defeats the purpose IMHO (if it's actually released like that)
Linux Insider said:
While the Galaxy Note is an unusual size, it packs a strong set of features. As for whether it leans more toward being a phone or a tablet, it seems to favor tablet.
"I'll call it a tablet because it will not be supported for cellular voice," Chris Hazelton, research director for mobile and wireless at the 451 Group, told TechNewsWorld.
"It does support IP communications such as VoIP and Skype," he said. "It has a very good camera, a great processor, and a great screen. But it's hard not to compare it to Dell's (Nasdaq: DELL) 5-inch tablet, which has not gained much traction in the market."

Xiaomi Mi4
Xiaomi Mi4 is probably bound to be announced sooner or later this year as various information leaks and alleged snapshots of parts of the phone recently came out. This powerful flagship phone reportedly will bear a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series chipset (probably Snapdragon 805), 5.5-inch IPS OGS screen, 3GB RAM, Android 4.4 KitKat OS, and 4G-LTE support. Check out the rest of the specs here: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/xiaomi-mi4
If the leaks are true, then we are looking at a very impressive phone. Have you heard of any news regarding the release date and updated info about Xiaomi Mi-4? Please share what you know about it.
*UPDATE:
Official specs - 5.0-inch IPS OGS Gorilla Glass 3 screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad core 2.5GHz CPU, 3GB RAM, 4G-LTE support...
Xiaomi Mi4 come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM 32GB ROM, support 4G LTE, 16.0MP rear camera, 5.0MP front camera...
Specs Here: :good:
http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_4-6518.php
Generally a blatant copy of iPhone 5 or 5s, with a little photoshop work, while the back cover is that of Huawei Honor 3X.
Still quite impressive phone. Depends on the price, but I'm considering buying it.
It has a metal housing, so it should be tougher than an average smartphone these days. Says it's also IP67 certified on gsmarena specs, but I doesn't says anything about that on official page.
well, i hope they release kernel source so people will want to buy it and develop for it.

The IR blaster is there ...
i had to send mine back they put the antenna on the bottom of the phone. and every time i grip it like you normally would grip and phone. it kills my signal. i dont know if there is something wrong with my phone or this is a wide spread issue

Do we use MI4 in other countries?
Hi all,
If we buy MI4 at China, could we use it with sim card other countries? Is there a World version?
Please tell about this issue.
Thanks
This will be a beastly phone, i saw the design online and it's pretty nice .
It's not as good designed as HTC M8 or LG G3 but in combination with 3GB RAM Memory and 2,5 Ghz quadcore with cheap price compared to LG G3 is it a top choice for people that want a good phone

The UleFone Be X is probably one of the cheapest phones around with an Octa-core chipset. The phone looks good (in my opinion at least ) and the fact that it's just 4.5" inch is a big plus in my opinion! I just don't like all those 5" inch or bigger models. What do you think about it?

UleFone Be X
I'll buy one
Some days ago I discovered this device. I am thinking about buying one. Cheap, dual-sim, not big. The only handicap it has the 1GB memory. And the fear from the main camera's pics.
So I have to wait for the first test. In my opinion it could be a best buy.
Okokok

MIUI
If you want MIUI (stable & fixed version ROM) for Ulefone Be X. You can find it on 4PDA forum, MIUI v6 5.8.6, English Installation instructions included. Or on needrom an old version MIUI 5.7.23.
I have a dual SIM uleFone Be X. It's a great little cheap phone, and I've had no problems since I bought it last November.
The other day I noticed there was no signal for both SIM/networks.
At first I thought it was due to the weather, but then I noticed there was no signal in other areas as well.
I soon realized it basically doesn't connect to any network anymore.
So I have tried the following, but no success:
- Switching Airplane mode on/off
- Booting in safe mode
- Automatic search of network: "Cannot connect to this network at the moment. Try again later"
- Manual search of network: "Error while searching for networks"
- Reset APNs to default
- Turn off phone, remove battery, remove SIMs, wait, re-insert SIMs, turning back on
- Insert SIMs one by one while phone is on and on charge
- Preferred network (from the Phone Info menu) is set to WCDMA preferred
- Turn radio off and on again from system menu
Worth a note:
- IMEI numbers are recognised
- Tried with several SIM cards, in both slots, none works
- Same SIM cards work just fine in other phones
Any ideas? Faulty hardware? It literally happened from one day to another.
For what is worth, before the problem occurred I flew from one country to another. During the flight I had airplane mode on, but for a brief moment I switched it off to see if I could get any mobile and GPS signal and check my current position. Could the phone still be stuck at 10k feet in the air?
I think networks disappeared after the flight, but I am not 100% sure. Could have been before, or just after.
Hi!
I've couldn't find anything about Ulefone X, This threat is the closest I've found. I don't think is the same
My phone as arrived 5 days ago, yesterday as received an update to correct some stuff, and did.
But now, occasionally, there's a blank layer over the screen that make very difficult to see what's under that layer. It's not fully opaque but very annoying.
Does someone know how to prevent this?
Thank you.
Hi all
Sitting firmly in the flagship sector, the Blu Pure XL packs a hell of punch performance wise for the cost. This thread is for general discussions regarding the specifications and design of the Pure XL.

I haven't heard a whole lot about real world results of the MeidaTek processor, but the specs look strong. Would love to know who makes the 24mp camera. Also look forward to seeing battery life results from gsmarena.com.
This looks like a legit top shelf phone for half of the price. I will be keeping my eyes out. And great that it is a US company that isn't stupid Apple.
Really incredible - I heard about interesting price.

Its the OmniVision OV23850 camera sensor.
This device has really caught my eye! Just wanted to drop a very minor correction on the Blu Pure XL image. The device does support Wi-Fi 802.11 AC. Just thought you may want to add that to the image.
The only things I see people wondering about (myself included) is:
1. Updates (How is this company about pushing out updates? With Marshmallow on the horizon, will it take 40 forevers to get it?)
2. No VOLTE Band 12 on T-Mo's network (Is this a deal breaker?)
Never thought I'd get a 6" device, but that may change come October.

Never thought I'd get a 6" device, but that may change come October.

The hardware should be able of recording 1080p 60fps. But i dont know if the phone actually can do it.
External SD? Yes? No? Nipples?

Anyone know if this phone supports Miracast or other image mirroring?
This is what Tmobile said regarding band 12 and unlocked phones http://www.tmonews.com/2015/08/t-mo...in-unlocked-smartphones-put-in-the-spotlight/
Can anyone confirm removable battery? This is a huge help for an avid traveler like me. The rest of the specs already have me sold though. The only other things I might have desired are 4GB RAM, front flash, and shipping with unlocked bootloader, and source code available...
My searches say neither this or the Gionee Elife E8 have removable batteries.

No go bro. The only mention of any type of memory in the post or the picture is the 64Gigs of internal and the 3Gigs of RAM. There is no mention of external SD card.

this is a Gionee Elife E8 but sold under blu for a fraction of the price so this is a great phone for an awesome price and the value for money will be incredibly hard to beat

Does anyone know how well the Cortex A53 stacks against the Snapdragon 810 AND how well PowerVRG6200 is compared to adreno 430?
What do you guys think in comparing this phone to say Oneplus Two as well as Moto X Pure
The camera seems to be rubbish. Even the official photo samples look rubbish and washed out colors.
Noob shooting in auto?
Yes the device supports micro SD and is also dual sim capable

Look at some of the hands on videos posted on YouTube, the device definitely supports micro sd storage, with the back cover off, you can see the micro sd slot as well as dual sim slots.
On top of the posted videos, I've read it can support up to 64GB on a micro SD. I bet it could do 128GB if attempted. Either way, I'm really excited about this device coming from an OPO. My only concerns are with the camera and updates. Everything else looks fantastic! Sept. 29 can't get here fast enough!
I'm hoping we can count on XDA for updates, as I don't see Gionee or Blu releasing many, if any. This is the same chip as the HTC one m9+ or whatever they call it, so there should be some support there for the SoC.
Everything I'm seeing says this is dual sim with a Micro SD slot once you remove the back cover, so storage isn't a concern. However, even with the cover off, the battery is highly unfortunately non-removable.
The Elife line for Gionee is centered on having great cameras. The specs on this camera are excellent, especially the autofocus speed. F/2.0 is nice as well. But we'll have to see what the real life results look like.
Here's a link with some more useful specs...

The only two things that concern me are camera quality and how well the fingerprint sensor works. If the reviews are good, I'll probably pull the trigger on this one.
Recently, i look for a 4.7inch mtk6735 quad core smartphone below $100, my friend recommended me Uhans u100, but i have no idea about it, any one has made review about it?

if you wanna get it cheap (even cheaper go to a local shop and tell him to lower the price) or you can order it from http://goo.gl/f0FhNH with no shipping fees
ITXtutor has just unboxed this phone https://youtu.be/nSvm5BoWAm8 he is very harsh on it but it does not look to bad for a cheap phone but I think he is right it looks cheap. Maybe the metal frame will make it tough but with no Gorilla Glass it wont take much rough treatment.

yeah, it seems like that, but really very cheap, friend.
I have it. Bought it for fun just because it looks kind of "Goth" to me and I'm into that kind of music. First impression is better than I excpected. Actually a lot better than the 99 USD including shipping I paid for it. Basically it has the same hardware as the ZTE Blade V6 including the camera sensors but witha a slightly smaller screen and at 1/3 of the price. Uhans claims that it has Gorilla Glass but I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure about the real resolution of the cameras also. Maybe it's interpolated. I'll find out later. I can make a short review of it when I have tested it a bit. Anywy, I think it's cool!
--------EDIT1--------
Sony IMX164 8MP interpolated to 13MP + Omnivision 2MP interpolated to 5MP
--------EDIT2--------
No Gorilla Glass. The glass is a fingerprint magnet. It has a MT6735P @ 1.0 GHz (GPU @ 400 MHz), not a MT6735 @ 1.3 GHz (GPU @ 600 MHz) like some sellers claims. That is a big difference actually. The phone is a bit sluggish in the GUI and in 3D games, but it's ok for an extra phone, which is what I use it for. It's stable, has good battery time and the 4G modem is fast. I get 100 Mb/s in download speed, which is maximum what my network can deliver.

Looking forward to Updated Versions of UHANS U100/U200 with 4.5G Network?
Recently, UHANS hinted on Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=559332477567821&id=459892364178500
that they have intention for an updated U100/U200 supporting 4.5G network. As many users are fond of their designs while the specs fall behind the times, same designs with higher specs make good sense.
The chip, to be suggested, will be MediaTek Helio P10, which will be the same as that of OPPO R9. Meanwhile, the RAM will be updated to 4GB. Compared to those of U100 and U200, it will be definitely a stride forward. It is also said that the device will come with a 5.2-inch full HD display, not too big or too small. This may be quite a move to take if UHANS actually employs it to the updated version. Many manufacturers like LG, Samsung and ZTE has already featured their smartphones with 5.2” display. It seems that UHANS wants to join the party as well. The network will be likely able to support 4.5G, meaning that mobile broadband data rates will be exceeding 1,000 Mbit/s - or ten times faster than current 4G rates, enabling users to access high-definition video, gaming services, clearer telephone calls and more. No doubt that it will be in the new era of mobile phone history.
Whether the updated version will come to reality is still under uncertainty, but we can stay tuned with it.
Hi,
the best think to root Uhan U200 is to use the APK of KingoRoot:
http://storage.apktrunk.com/0516/KingRoot_4.9.3_APKTrunk.apk
It works great !
I couldn't with the pc version.
ANd it's a good phone.
