I just get the sample images and the main feature(M703):
Rock-chip RK2918, A8 1.2GHz
512MB DDR3 + 4G FLASH
Android 2.3 OS

Good spec
How many cost?

It's not really thin though is it? The iPad 2 (probably the most popular tablet) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (probably the second most popular tablet) are both considerably thinner.

this is probably a lot cheaper....but where can I purchase these things?

You can find many more on their site too, they're all similar in specs. I can't post links, too few posts, but Google "Shenzhen Highkee Electronic Technology" and around the 3rd link down look for one with "highkee" in the URL. It has a menu on the side to find their android tablets. But judging from their business model, they may not sell direct, you'd have to go through another company - they sell in bulk unit orders (minumum appears to be 500).
Sure these might have been the kind I saw in street market stalls when I was on holiday last month, they seem to fit the bill. The M703 one looks quite nice but the screen quality is what always bothers me when buying new stuff.

Looks great How much this cost?

I really like this thread

where can i buy one?

I want one.
The guy with the candle iPad at the Steve Jobs memorial. I want to be him with this tablet.

Where can i buy one though?

that's what i was about to post
Anyways, does this thing have access to the market?

It has some in China, and will wait for some time for oversea market.

By the way, if you are China, you could find their company, or you could find the official site(giayee.com)

this is a joke. I could find this tablet(M703) and this tablet is just another company- Giayee technology Co.Ltd.(ocuses on R&D and production of Android Tablets and Mobile Phones).

So in other words these are ONLY available in China?

you can find those in Deal Extreme
those tablets are not the greatest
but good enough for games and web browsing

Interesting what quality they have. Cheap is not always better.

wow... nice specs.. i hope the quality and chips are good as well...

[Discussion] Looks like Pantech is moving to the big leagues with the Pantech Magnus

Pantech Magnus

Known mostly for budget-friendly phones with not very hot tech specs in the U.S., Pantech might be looking to upgrade its playing league. We haven’t yet heard anything clear about the recently teased Flex, but the Vega S5, Star Q 4G LTE and Marauder looked like much more than the modest gadgets we’ve been used to see from Pantech.
Now a new Pantech-made phone has been leaked, and, although it’s not exactly a contender for the Galaxy S3 or HTC One X, it might come with high-end-ish specs. The Magnus (which is Latin for “great”) seems to be on its way to AT&T and might enjoy a release by the end of September.
First spotted getting FCC approval at the beginning of August under the P9090 codename, the Magnus now stars in a leaked pic that can only mean one thing. Someone is trying to build hype around the handheld, so a launch is imminent.
The photo doesn’t reveal much about the “Great”, aside from the featuring of an 8MP rear-facing camera with flash and the inclusion of a front-facing webcam (most likely a 1.3MP one). Still, we can easily tell that the phone will be running ICS out of the box or maybe even Jelly Bean, having some juicy on-screen navigation buttons.
A few other tech specs have been rumored before, including the featuring of a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 processor, an Adreno 225 GPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board memory and a 720p HD display. The screen will probably measure around 4.3 inches in diagonal, although it could go up to 4.5.
As for the design, this is actually quite intriguing. The front is not very original or unusual, looking kind of bland even, but the back is a whole different story. There are not only sexy curves there, but also quirky bumps, which makes this look a bit like HTC’s Incredibles. This is clearly one love or hate design point, and, while some will find it innovative, cool and special, others will most likely call it ugly or tacky. I for one kind of like it, because, even if it’s not the absolute most elegant phone ever, it’s not ordinary either.
We of course know nothing about the Magnus’ price or exact release date, but as soon as we’ll find out something we’ll let you know. For now, tell us if you’re at least intrigued about the phone’s design and rumored spec sheet.

So what do you think? Will it be big? Personally i have the pantech burst and it's a very good phone but we have so few developers. So will this be on top? or a flop?

I think this is a great phone in todays market even including LTE capability, if price would be around usd. 250,-
Can this phone be purchased WITHOUT an ATT-plan ?
I would like to use it in Europe (Netherlands), so where to buy ?
Anyone...

interesting, I've never paid attention to them before but more variety and competition is a good thing.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

witch origine it is ?

If it is priced right (around 199) i think it would do well. If it is priced more than 200 i would just save up for the GS3 or OneX

Will it be released in indonesia ?
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app

it has AT&T branding.. seems like only America will get it? and its probably available so cheap because of subsidies.

Wonder how it compares with the pantech maurader, battery life on it was terrible. had some nice features for older people.

another korean phone...

Specs:
- 5.5 inch Screen, 1280*720 pixel
- MT6582 1.3GHz Quad core
- Support 3G network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 & WCDMA 850/2100 MHz
- 1 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM
- 13MP back camera + 3MP front camera
- The latest Android 4.4.2 System
UMi have had an interesting past. After launching the hugely popular UMi X1 a few years ago, the company hit the spotlight again last year with the UMi X2. But since then the UMi candle has been burning low, despite even the launch of the UMi X3.
The problem seemed to be that although UMi could make a capable flagship, they always seemed to produce lack-luster low to mid-range smartphones.
This is all behind them now and a new mid ranger is about to turn the company around. The UMi C1 is based around the chassis of the flagship X3, so you can be sure it is a great looking smartphone, and hardware has been tweaked to make it more affordable.
A quad-core MT6582 processor and 1GB RAM plus Android 4.4.2 are always a good mix when building a powerful phone on a budget. Throw all that in to a great looking steel chassis with 5.5-inch 720p Gorilla Glass display, micro SD card expansion and 13 mega-pixel main camera and it is all looking very peachy.

Unfortunately NOT gorilla glass!

Sony IMX 179 8mp-sensor - 13mp is interpolated
but nice phone

Untouched Stock Rom & rooted Rom are available on needrom, I've uploaded 'em yesterday

I don't know what's the price but for €115 euro is this good.
November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !

Is a good phone.

Great post! So, which ones and how many of these should I be trying to implement? What do you suggest?

Good phone but photo quality is poor and this is not a gorilla glas
Yes this phone is a good phone for the price, but, keep in mind that this phone is not a gorilla glas 3 mobile and that the photo quality is poor, if you want to root it you must use the last Vroot in chinese.

I am satisfied with the photos this phone is making, regarding the gg, putting on the screen protector available in the stock package will solve the issue. One drawback is the hd resolution for a 5.5" screen, this is the only thing i found a bit annoying, FHD could have been way better.

it is easy to root with 360 root tool. my friend.

Has anyone noticed that screen randomly turns on and that sometimes you don't have internet access on wifi (this is very noticeable on hotspots which require log in) and then you have to turn wifi off, turn it back on and login again?

HTC One E8 - First impressions: Premium device disguised as a mid-tier phone

I've had the HTC One E8 for just over a week now and I am thoroughly impressed. The device has a premium display and chip-set at a mid-grade price. The curved edges of the poly-carbonate (plastic) back plate makes this device easy to hold without losing its visual appeal. On the back you will also find a 13 MP camera with a single tone flash. The face of the phone contains a 5 MP Selfie camera, 5” HD display, and two front facing speakers. The “Boomsound” front facing speakers can push out a great deal of sound without losing any sound quality.

Another amazing feature of this phone is Sprint Spark. If you have not had a chance to try out Spark you might be blown away by the data speeds you will see. This was my first time trying out Spark and I could not believe how much faster it is then my cable internet speeds. Check out Spark availability in your area.

How is the phone after a few weeks of usage?
How is the battery life?
What is the Android version on it? Did it get 4.4.3?

The battery life is pretty good and typically lasts me the entire day. Also good to know that I am always playing with it so you might get way better battery life then I do. The US Sprint version comes pre-loaded with Android 4.4.2.

I have had my phone for a few days, and I have to say that I am impressed with the quality of this device for the price I paid.
Sound/speed is much better than my old Galaxy S3.
Multitasking is a snap, and I kind of like the HTC Sense UI.
Thinking of rooting this device, have you had the chance to root yet?

Many of us in India have rooted it, you can find the threads in the dev section and Q&A's also.
Running smooth, and yes , a great phone overall...

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.

True story don't forget it's a smarphone under 100$ but U200 work great and nicely :good:
