3 Chinese Powerhouses (need help choosing!) - General Questions and Answers

Trying to choose between:
Elephone P8000
UMI IRON
Ecoo E04 Plus
They're all at a very similar price (£100-£150) and the discrepancy between the prices isn't much of a concern to me considering how much cheaper they are than so many phones on the market
The specs are all incredibly similar (octa core, 3gb ram, 13mp camera, 4g, 5.5" display), so really need some help choosing.
Thanks,
Ed

Meizu MX4 Real and overall review

Meizu has released its latest smartphone, Meizu MX4, and it will also announce Meizu MX4 Pro soon. But today, i would like to make a deep review about Meizu MX4 first. This smartphone has become the flaship device in the market right now. Meizu MX4 is said to be the best rival of Xiaomi MI4. As you know, Xiaomi, Meizu, Huawei, Oppo and ZTE are all Chinese famous brand. You can also share the feeling about this smartphone.
Design and apperance
Meizu MX4 packs a 1920 * 1152 Pixel SHARP JDI Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Screen , with the dimension of 5.67 x 2.96 x 0.35 inches (144 x 75.2 x 8.9 mm), From the screen size, it can be the most suitable size for us to hold. If it sported a large screen more than 5.36inch, it would increase the some unacceptable comments from users. Therefore, I like the screen size , meanwhile, i have tested the screen quality, it has also nice screen color. Which i would like to use the smartphone to wathc the videos. Hope you can have the same feeling with me.
Powerful Hardware :MTK6595 Octa Core 2.2Ghz
Meizu MX4 is the first smartphone which is powered by MTK6595 Octa Core 2.2Ghz processor, before the MTK6595 chipset came out, many manufacturers and users have predicted which brand will be the first one using MTK6595 Octa core 2.2 GHz processor, now Meizu has revealed the answer for you. About the speed, i really can't express my joy about it more. It's so fast and swift compared with MTK6592 Octa core 1.7GHz, when i play the 3D games, there is no need to wait for more than 20seconds. I can log in the games without any stop. Believe or not, just have a try.
As for the internal memory, it is not RAM 3GB but RAM 2GB, and it has two versions that one is RAM 2GB ROM 32GB, the other is RAM 2GB ROM 16gb, i am the one who is inclined to use the ROM 32GB. which has the larger storage which let me download and store numerous full high definition videos.
20.7MP Rear Camera
As for me, a cool camera is very important, Meizu MX4 has 20.7MP rear camera which is the finest camera i have ever seen compared with other smartphone. It utilizes Sony’s latest high-end Exmor RS sensor, coming in at 1/2.3″ and 20.7 megapixels this sensor not only picks up a ton of detail but it picks up a ton of light too. Although the front camera has only 2MP, the rear camera is really eye-catching. I will take more pictures about the back camera.
3100mAh Battery(Bulit-in)
Last time, you must remember THL has released the most durable battery with 5000mAh, now Meizu MX4 has also 3100mAh battery built in the smartphone. Standby in particular is absolutely amazing on the MX4, when i play the gmaes by this smartphone, it can support more than 8 hours working time. I really can't believe it.
Support 4G LTE network , GPS, and Multilanguage function
Besides those nice features, Meizu MX4 can also support multilanguage, which can beat those Lenovo smartphone without multilanguage function. And 4G LTE network let me enjoy the fast speed to search the Internet. Especially play it on subway. GPS function can help me guide my way when i have a travel, or when i shop on a strange road.
In conclusion, i love this Meizu MX4 smartphone with the good price. Hope you can also have a nice experience with me.
Well first of all I would like personally to thank you for the review. I was thinking to buy this phone and by this great review, I am more likely to buy it sooner than I thought. The thing is tho, 4G LTE network works in all European countries with all Cell phone Brands or how you call it? I mean like Vodafone, Orange, O2, Cosmote, Wind etc...? And I would like to ask something else too(since you own the phone already) does it support LED notifications? I saw a video on youtube but I am not sure if it's real or fake. Thanks in advance.
Internal phone storage
I currently have a ZTE Nubia Z5S NX503A, 32GB version. When I recieved it, I found out it had just a 2GB internal phone storage and around 24GB SD-storage. None of the storage locations are able to be physicaly removed or replaced. As a standard, Google Play Store installs apps to this internal phone storage, but this gets very quickly filled up. Anyone know how this is with the Meizu MX4 Pro?
I love meizu mx4 and pro. Planing to buy it.. Little bit concern about customs charge.. I am living India.. Did anyone already buy from India ?

As well know, except for the MEIZU MX4, Huawei Ascend Mate7 and the Xiaomi Mi4 are both the latest popular Chines mobiles, so how do you think of the three mobile phones?

[Q] JIAYU

Hey guys , any help would be appreciated.
I'm definitely thinking about buying the JIAYU s3 but I need some help.
1. Are jiayu phones reliable and trustworthy for daily use?
2.Are the cameras good and is the quality of the build good?
3.Are there any legit sites that sell Jiayu phones? Because I was looking at some websites with suggestions but there all not working anymore........
4. How do Jiayu phones live up to other great brands?
The Jiayu s3 that i'm talking about has a 5.5inch ips fhd screen with 2/3gb of ram, a 16gb rom -and the new mtk6752 64bit processor with mali t-760 and scores around 45000 on antutu at a price of 170 dollars.
It probably is my “next" phone, but because I don't own one I can't answer your number 1, and 2 questions. For third there is a web site www.ibuygou.com where I saw it was on stock. Now I have Xiaomi mi2a which is Chinese phone too and I'm completely satisfied. The only thing that bothers me is the processor, especially GPS. But when there are some reviews I would buy it. Price is very nice.
My friend has ever bought a Jiayu G6 smartphone from http://www.pompmall.com/jiayu-g6-mtk6592-octa-core-android-4-2-smartphone-2gb-32gb-5-7-inch.html moths sgo, and she said it is really in high quality especially with the 8MP front and 13.0MP back dual camera specs. But i also prefer to but the new Jiayu S3 mobile, and waiting for the avialable.
1.&2. - Yes
3. http://www.ejiayu.com/en/Store.html
I can not decide what version to buy , 2 or 3 Gb - does it any matter? Do not need NTFC.
Chinese people do not give a source. with a complete set of new firmware will be a problem that's for sure. exception lenovo.

3 Chinese powerhouses (how to choose?!)

I would look at battery specs. I own a I-Joy Eccooqtium and battery isn't enough for just 1 day, and I am not a hard user... it is the only drawback I find to this phone.
I bought the UMI Iron couple of days ago for $180US. It is expected to be shipped out next week. I haven't read good reviews about Elephone and UMI as a brand has overall ok reviews. No experience with ECCO so can't comment on that.

Which of these 3 phones should I purchase?

Hi all,
As described in the title, i'm in doubt about which of these three phones i should choose:
-Wiko Wax
-(Huawei) Honor Holly
-Huawei G620s
They're all in the same price range in my country, and they don't differ very much i believe.
The thing is, with phones i don't really know what really makes a difference in performance and what is important.
The wiko has more gpu cores and significant higher clock speeds regarding cpu, ram, and gpu, but i don't know whether this makes a difference since it's another brand of chip.
You can't compare amd vs intel with same clockspeeds so i guess it's the same with phones.
The holly has 16gb of storage while the g620 has 8, the wiko has only 4gb.
A good custom rom would be nice, and i think there are more and better roms for the huawei's
However the biggest point of doubt is the durability of the phones, which one is the most rigid.
So which of these phones do you think i should buy? Also, if you think there's a way better phone than these ones in the same price range feel free to recommend it.
Btw, in holland where i live most cheap chinese phones like doogee are unfortunately not available.
Thanks for your time!

Buying advice: Xiaomi Mi4c, Meizu M1 Metal or any other suggestion?

Hello everyone, don't know if this is right thread but seems like a general discussion, please move if it is wrong place.
Tried to analize what can i buy at the moment but you know.... i already spent around 8 hrs digging and brain started to overheat So maybe i can get some advices from community to save some time.
What i need: Descent all rounder, i think i would like smaller/lighter phone, but i never had big one so i don't really know... I don't know if i really need very powerful phone, but i can afford 50EUR difference to get more powerful version to be more future-proof. I can play with firmwares, but after some time it get's boring I don't think if i need a lot of storage, but again, files get bigger and bigger, so maybe if i'll have it i'll use it. I could spend ~250 total, but more into ~220 max (taxes and VAT included). i really don't feel like spending a lot of money on something i can break, loose or drop...
What i discovered that seems interesting to me:
1. Xiaomi Mi4c 3/32GB SD 808 version, i can get it to my country, it is EU for 215EUR total.
Pros i see: 5" as i really don't know do i need a big phone, using Lumia 735 now. removable battery (as i do not like buying new phone every year, so if it will be ok in 2 years i just replace battery and keep using it)
Cons: There is thread here that multitouch don't work properly. Dont' know any other, i just jumped into search and just' don't know what is trending.
2. Meizu M1 Metal 2/32 Helio X10 ~220 EUR
Pros: Seems to be more powerful?
Cons: non-removable battery, too big? I really don't know about big phone
2. Redmi Note 3 Pro with SD
Pros: Very powerful, SD slot aviable
Cons: non removable battery, size (again), camera
To compare prices locally i can get: Alcatel Idol 3 4,7 version ~200EUR. LG G3 D855 Titan ~260EUR, Samsung Galaxy A3 A300F 220 EUR, XPERIA M4 AQUA 220 EUR to have an idea.
Appreciate any advice from experienced community!
