EDIT: Fire is out, only considering the Springboard and the 7.0 Plus now; too many features missing for me. Anyway...
Decided against upgrading my phone (HTC G2) simply because it's stable, battery life is good, and has a good keyboard. So I'm looking to complement it with a 7" tablet. Main uses would be web browsing, books, and videos (both online and on the device); gaming would be pretty low in priority, so I'm not sure if Exynos means much to me as a result.
The Huawei Mediapad has the higher screen resolution/density, and apparently looks great outdoors and in general. I like the aluminum build, even if it adds weight/thickness. I also like that the cameras are pretty good. And I really like the separate, non-proprietary microUSB and mini-HDMI ports; being able to charge it with the same charger as my phone is a big plus.
The 7.0 Plus also seems to be a great all-around tablet, between it being lightweight, the screen quality, and other set of features (like Exynos). The IR emitter is a nice feature, but I'm not sure if I'd use it much (not one for entertainment centers). And I'm not sure if the screen quality is worth giving up nice resolution/density of the Springboard. And as mentioned, I'm not a fan of proprietary chargers. It has Bluetooth 3.0, although I'm not sure if that translates into better audio quality with a Bluetooth headset. There's also extra Wifi functions - dual-band and direct - although I don't know if I'd ever use either.
Basically, it comes down to:
Non-proprietary ports, higher screen resolution, better rear camera
vs
Lighter/slimmer build, Exynos, screen quality, IR emitter, Bluetooth 3.0, dual-band Wifi, and Wifi direct
A question for international users, is there a tablet available which can make phone calls too? Probably I could replace my cell phone with a 7inch tablet?
Please note: I am planning to use a Bluetooth headsets, if someone is wondering how it will look holding a 7 or 10” tablet to your ears: D

I'm almost positive both of the international versions of the original Galaxy Tab 7 and the Plus can make calls - check out the forums for more details of either, as I'm not sure how data ends up as a result; I think in the case of the original, by making it work with voice you give up 3G (and get 2G instead).
I believe Huawei and ZTE also make at least one 7" tablet each that can make phone calls by default.
Hello, i am owner of pipo M6 and i want share my experience so far. My englist isnt best so sorry .
I can post here more information or some pictures if you want guys.
Build quality :
- Casing is quite firm, is good on chinese tablet but not at grade apple and so on.
- So far i dont belive it to much, but time will tell if it survive more then month.
- Whole tablet is realy heavy, if you want light tablet - this is not for you.
Battery life
- so far its dissapoiment for me. Tablet last for 6 hour light usage with wifi.
Display
- Its is my first tablet so i expect somethnig special from this display, because most price is probably just for display.
- pixel density is realy good - you cant see individual pixels. Color are just fine. Nothing special - far from amoled.
- Brightness on other hand is not so great. No chance for outdoor use !!!! In indor area is usable durning day but only at full brightness.
Software
- oficial pipo rom isnt bad itself, but i have display flickering with realy hurt my eyes. After reflash with RileyROM is better. but rom iteslf seem slower then stock rom.
- still have problem instal few games on this tablet - for example most wanted/modern combat wont work for me.
Performace
- all apps i try so far in HD mode
- Google chome is quite slow, playing you tube video eat whole procesor performance. No chance for multitasking.
- stock internet browser works better.
- bsplayer can run HDvideos.
- Real racing is not playable !!
- gta vice city is playble on high
- dead triger is playble on low
- 2d games are fine
For the price 250 usd you get high res internet browser, book reader and video player. But:
This tablet is NOT for gamers - mine motorola razr xt910 run games better.
This tablet is NOT for outdoor use.
Battery is not so good like you expect specification.
For the money i dont know, my expectation was probably too high. If this is one of best quality chinesse tablet i dont wanna see the worst one. For that money in my country you can buy old IPAD, and that is probably better choise for me.
Thanks for the review. I was looking for a nice android 10inch tablet and this was the best looking "off brand" but I was still hesitant. Now I know it probably won't be a good option for me. Maybe back to the transformer infinity.
Thanks, your opinion is much appreciated. Seems more realistic than many in depth reviews I have seen.
I bought one for me mom. Although she is quite happy with it i can totally confirm your findings
D802 @ AOSPA 4.4
hello
I'm trying to decide which large screened phone to purchase
Huawei P8 max
Letv le max x900
the p8 max has a bigger screen but I am not sure if the letv has a better screen?
also I am not concerned about the size or the 4g connectivity, I wish to know which phone is better with regard to snappiness launching apps and 'multitasking'
which phone has a better sense of 'future proofing' as much as one could say future proofing...
and which phone is just better phone in other aspects?
I would like to hear your opinions please
oh forgot to mention does anyone know which one has a better loudspeaker, I like to listen to music with the loudspeaker (the one at the bottom)
thank you very much!
- Emmanuel

Be patient & buy the LeMax Pro; build-wise it's quite similar to the x900, but it's using the SD820 cpu which is an entirely different class compared to the overheating SD810.
Listen to adwinp!
Wait for the Le Max Pro, before deciding.
I have the Le Max and P8Max and Mate 8 (Mate 8 is NOT worth the upgrade (IMHO) from the 7/S or P8Max and mine will be sold in the next couple days)
If specs are what you're looking for Le Max wins on paper, if you can't wait for the Le Max Pro.
If camera is the selling point, P8max has a brilliant camera (IMHO better than the mate 8 in low light and auto focus mode is faster) and its better (IMHO) than the Le Max which has a decent camera, which struggles with auto focus, and low light. Don't be fooled by 21MP vs 13MP...or ultra pixel...It sounds good but its not.
If connectivity is your thing...the LeMax will connect to 5g Wifi, the P8Max struggles and 9/10 times won't.
Speakers, P8Max, cleaner sound at high volumes.
Overall speed, about the same really. Where the P8Max can freeze during gaming its few and far between and depends on the gaming...
If custom ROMs are your thing, Le Max has the better support community and it seems to be growing.
If screen size is your thing, its tough to say. Tied. While the 2k screen is nice on the Le Max, the p8max has a brilliant 6.8" screen
If storage is your thing, P8Max Simple. While 128GB is nice on the Le Max. That's it that's all. But even better than that is the 64GB and the ability to add a 200GB sd card. I have a 200GB card in my 703L and their are no issues.
If security is your thing, They are both Chinese phones so while the Le Max and Le Max pro have fingerprint
If build quality is your thing, both quality builds, but the edge goes to the P8Max, its cleaner and well built.
If future support is your thing, Le Max. It has the community support behind it.
I'll say this. While I have been harsh on the P8Max, I would not part with this phone. The Le Max already has me wanting the Le Max pro. Huawei has the screen size right and a 2k screen with 6GB, Mali 880 MP GPU, Kirin 8+1 follow up is the hope and dream... the P8Max screen is just perfect in size. I just prefer it to all others, as I read a ton for work.
The Le Max Pro is going to be a monster of a phone. So if you can wait for that, and are leaning towards the Le Max. Wait.
At the end of it all, you cannot go wrong with what you are picking, its your call, just understand that all phones have their pros and cons. These two are no different.
Good luck.
Cheers.
Excellent pertinent comparison, @TheTruthSeeker. What do you do for a living?
@emmanuelw - I've been changing phones every ~6 months or so for the better part of my smartphone consumer years since the HTC Diamond Touch (yes I know, I'm ashamed, I was a Windows Mobile user). HTC, Sony, Huawei, ... you name it - I've owned most flagships.
Here's my experience with the device so far:
1: really good all-around build quality - metal + glass. Neither scratch easily (I do not use a phone case or screen protector).
2: huge screen - I wanted to see whether this would blur the line between a smartphone & tablet, as I've been using the latter for most of my multimedia needs (video, gaming).
The device sports one of the best screen-to-body ratios I've seen - one of the reasons I stopped liking HTCs after the original One/m7.
Anyway, watching, playing, reading feels really nice on such a huge screen & I've been reaching less & less for my tablet as it is. Doesn't seem to be too much of a battery sucker at low brightnesses but you feel the drain at higher brightness levels. I'm a 5ft9" guy & usually use the device with 2 hands; 6.8" is a bit too big - 6.2"-6.3" seems to be the sweet spot for me.
3: GPS - gets a fix fast & is usually reliable. Never really had an issue with it.
4: WIFI - as mentioned, won't connect to 5GHz, but 2.4GHz is OK, as are the speeds. No dropouts & doesn't take its toll on the battery. Range capture is OK, nothing to write home about.
5: Audio - one of the low points - if you have good earphones or headphones, the built-in DAC might make up for the crappy device audio. Speaker audio is downright horrible by today's standards.
Best I've experienced are of course HTC, & Sony.
6: Storage - I have the 64Gb + external 128Gb microsd Samsung EVO+. I am installing games with huge space requirements (Final Fantasy, emulators & their ISOs), lots of downloads, lots of audio, & not once have I been nagged for space running low. Storage speed is nothing special, definitely not Samsung-fast.
7: Bluetooth - drops out once in a while, but I rarely really use it.
8: 3G/4G - usually stays connected to 4G in urban areas, but sometime stuggles with keeping a connection where other phones still have connectivity.
9: Camera - quality is OK with decent lighting, but struggles in low light - definitely worse than the LG G4.
10: Touch responsiveness - OK, but not great.
11: Battery life - as long as you're not running on high brighness, it really does offer great battery life.
Barely comes close to 2 days of heavy usage, despite what Huawei advertised.
11: software-wise - gets some updates once every month or so, but even at the dawn of Android N, still didn't receive the Marshmallow update.
Virtually zero community support due to spotty GPL compliance related to the released open source components. Definitely no developer support like in the case of Sony. Zero responsiveness to queries by global support. Rooting & customization will be your only salvation.
Usability - the heavily skinned interface takes some getting used to it but nothing alternative apps can't remedy to. The phone itself is quite responsive, with support for most software features. Doesn't have NFC, but not an issue for me. Some built-in features are really useful, like the permission manager & background app monitor, but both are now a standard in android 6.0.
12: performance - you must keep in mind that the P8max is really a mid-ranger. You might encounter rare initial lags with demanding, big apps or games, but the regular mortal you will rarely feel it.
It all boils down to your needs - what are you looking for in a phone?
The snapdragon platform is mature - will provide excellent performance & compatibility, good battery life (especially on the 16nm FinFET process) & should have plenty of developer/community support. The Huawei Kirin platform is not there yet. I was hoping for changes due to advent of the Nexus 6P, but they used a SD810 instead of a Kirin.
Keep in mind that the Kirin935 in the P8max is an aging platform, but prices should drop in accordance.
Are you a power user - if yes, go for Snapdragon, or for Exynos, but I'd really go for Snapdragon. Mediatek is not there yet.
Are you a mere mortal, looking for regular performance from your phone (save for the big screen) - you can bet on any of them.
I'd really go for the LeMax Pro though, unless other manufacturers announce 6"+ devices (I'm looking forward to a Sony Ultra this year). The Kirin935 & SD810 are a thing of the past now.
Again - what are YOU looking for?
first thank you adwinp and TheTruthSeeker
I will definitely heed to your advice and be patient for now see what comes next
I am leaning more towards the LE Max as future support is important for me I don't change phones often
I also desire to have a phone with a good internal speaker sound but then I guess the new le max will have the same speaker as the older one which I understand is only mediocre in quality...
I do use the phone to play music with sheet music on the go so I look at musical notes on the screen which have to be large and listen through the speaker
at the moment I have a small nexus 4 phone so even the 6.3 inch would be an upgrade screen wise but I am not sure if the speaker on the le max is better than the one on my current nexus 4 I can't find any details on the speaker of the le max...
my main concerns are
- good sound and good LARGE screen above 6 inch
- good support updates and preparation for future (as much as possible)
- smoothness of operation the least amount of lag when launching apps and multitasking (I don't do games though)
one of you mentioned some touch problems with the screen I think, this concerns me as I have such problems in my nexus 4 and they annoy me a lot
I listened to some music on the internal speaker of my cousin's lg g4 phone and was quite impressed with the quality, do any of these phones can compare with the quality of sound of the lg g4?
what other phones are to be waiting for this year, the le max pro the maybe p9 max but is the z6 ultra going to be better than any of these for my needs?
or any other phone you know off bigger than 6 inch?
thank you again!
- Emmanuel
After my Tour to Android and P8Max I would only take a Snapdragon device if u plan to have it longer and want Updates and Roms!
I think the Sony Ultra modell this yeah will be your best choice, I will sell my P8max too if the Specc are good!
thank you Hirs_E_Fruit, why do you think the sony would be better than theLE Max? and another issue is how do we know if sony is actually going to release a z6 ultra, and last are there any other upcoming phones larger than 6 inch?
I think because Sony will sell it worldwide officially so there will be a larger base of community. Rumours suggest there will be 4 Versions of the z6, lets hope its true.
P9max but i would not recommend it anymore.

@ Truthseeker: How is the refresh/frame rate on the p8max? I heard it leaves trails, which I find odd. How are the colors/blacks and what about the sharpness (count pixels easily?) Last but not least, is the speaker of good quality? Cheers :good:

@adwinp - Thank you for your kind words, I work in the social legal field but repair mobile devices and dab in ROM play here and there. Learning and by no means near a pro/amateur/etc.
I too swap devices regularly and have not held a flagship longer than a year since my blackberry 8800 back in the day! Way back lol.
A wealth of information in your post here, well said and done! Great post!!!
Cheers.

@gideonMorrison In all honesty, everyday use NO trails or flashing (Everyday use being texts, emails, maybe two dots, chess, checking the weather and the like) but in memory intensive games (chaos rings 2, need for speed MW, 6 guns, anomaly 2, etc) you will notice trails, screen flashing, and (when the device heats up) dreadded laaaaag. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough to realize this is a midrange phone NOT a flagship, premium device built to dominate from Huawei.
As for the speaker, its decent. It can play at high volumes with no considerable distortion. BUT, do they have the same sound quality of say a Blackberry passport or HTC boomsound, sadly no. But this is my humble opinion. You will enjoy the speaker while on speaker phone, watching youtube videos, etc. True audiophiles will look past the specs and agree that this is a good speaker with ok sound quality.
Hope this has helped.

Thanks Truthseeker for your extensive reply :good: I remember my old Galaxy Nexus suffering from bad ghosting, which is years ago, but find it somehow hard to believe the Max has the same issue (in the year 2015, that is). Is it something a lot more phones suffer from, because it is a new-ish device and by now you'd think they won't make (old) mistakes anymore. I wonder if I would really really (while gaming/watching movies as well?) notice and be put off about it (trails/ghosting/flashing). Not entirely sure what you mean by flashing however
Good to hear about the speaker. My Alcatel Idol 3 had superb stereo speakers, but have a feeling this one isn't bad indeed.
Hello people,
For my grilfriend i ordered a Blackview P2. and will receive it next week.
Original-Blackview-P2-Smartphone-MTK6750T-Octa-Core-5-5-Inch-4GB-RAM-64GB-ROM
I thought it would be perfect for her and fun for me to try out.
Unfortunately there is not much to find about it yet, altough it has good specs (and reviews on youtube) in my opinion.
If anyone has some info, experience with it, or knows a thread (which i can't find), i would be most thankfull.
getting mine tomorrow
good luck with it.
My P2 died after 2 weeks of normal use.
Not rooted, some standard apps on it.
From the start quite a few of google apps crashed, and after 2 weeks...
battery was still 60% full, a few hours after last use, she took the phone and it was off.
Never booted again after that.
Not normally, no recovery mode...nothing.
I am still argueing with Aliexpress about it.
Off course that happend after expiration of the buyer protection, so not possible to open a dispute.
At the moment i get help from the ali helpdesk, i'll have to wait and see.
I bought the phone from amazon and it seems fine. Would love to see some custom ROMs developed.
Hello,
I would like to recommend, to make a ROM dumb for the device in case something happened.
I have one: good phone, like it a lot, but the camera is awful. Would really benefit from some driver redesign from XDA. Read the indepth review I put on amazon here:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/custome...=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B06X93K74K
Quick summary:
- excellent phone, great battery life, good display, good sound, great signal quality & strength, premium feel, well built, solid, and as a phone highly recommended - especially for the price.
- May be a little heavy for some but not scarily so - and to me it doesn't feel as heavy as the specs suggest. And is worth it for the astounding battery capacity.
- Great phone signal strength, good GPS, Wi-fi, fingerprint unlocking; supports VoLTE, & feels like it runs quicker than the specs suggest, despite the older Mediatek 28nm processor;
- Fast charging (2-3 hours) - but you need the right charger (which wasn't supplied) - as well as decent video & gaming playback without judder;
- Easily customisable, great set of provided basic apps that are kept to a minimum, but the gold icon theme is a matter of personal taste
- Marshmallow 6.0 shipped on the phone - but not easily upgradeable unless you are very techy and don't expect to be able to upgrade over-the-air;
- Very poor 13MP rear camera, despite it apparently being Samsung - this could be a deal clincher if you use your phone camera as your main camera & need decent quality pics. I'm sure this could be improved with a decent camera driver/app but I've not found one as yet;
- Headphone sockets have channels wired the wrong way round.

A fast charging charger was included with my phone. And for camera, try Open camera, it has alot of settings to offer. Maybe it helps.
the phone is perfect

I need blackview p2 android 6.0 rom
I searched all the internet without finding any smell of it
all what I found is android 7.0
also when I tried asking in blackview forum they deleted my question also my id
I don't know why they put that forum
maybe you ask why I need android 6.0 my reason is android 7 as upgraded on my p2 lite was very bad
and have a lot of touch problems so that's why I am not willing to upgrade my p2 phone without a go back
steps if things gone not good ..
thank you all
