Hero H9008 Pro MT6592 Mlais MX69T Pro OEM With Quad-Band WCDMA

This is one of a very few models with 1900MHz. It's been proven by one of our members who disabled all frequencies except for 1900MHz WCDMA through engineering mode and was still able to use H+ (UMTS/HSDPA/WCDMA/3G)
The phone has 900MHz as well for Europe.
The whole reason we're posting this here at XDA is because we're trying to spread the word regarding this China brand phone with quad-band WCDMA. Yes, there have been previous MTK phones (notably Blu Life) with 1900, but that is an American brand. iNew x000 is advertised as having a '1900MHz version' of their x000 lines, but there's been zero definitive proof that we've seen, and even if it exists, it's not quad-band WCDMA. We'd love to see it if it exists. Otherwise, we're calling this the first MTK China brand model with quad-band WCDMA. It's really huge news, and congrats to Mlais and H9008 for taking this big step. It will be a day that goes down in China phone history.
So far the phone looks very good. The screen is excellent. We will put it through the paces over the next few days.

This could be my next phone, but I've read about the battery problems, do you think is the same on all variations of this phone? mlais for example?
Or maybe OEM versions have a cheaper battery? Please let us know the battery test results with the new firmware.
three more questions:
1. is there a multicolored notification led?
2. on this phone, what are the file transfer speeds using the usb 3.0 connector and cable?
3. found it at antelife, is it a good price or did you get it cheaper somewhere else?
thank you very much!

We got this phone from 1949deal.com. Don't always go with cheapest, 1949deal.com has a decent price ($295), and with the coupon code, it's $285 (coupon: 1949dealh9008). I always recommend going with the shop that has treated you right, as long as the prices are somewhat similar.
I will do FULL battery tests on this phone.

thx for the answers, I'm waiting for the full review and that coupon

In answer to the first question. I've seen green, red, blue in the LED. Haven't seen other colors yet, but haven't tried for any either.
Rooted already. I will put root method in OP in about an hour. Making full stock backup now (baseband, radio files, system). Will get it uploaded tonight.
I was just playing with a real Note 3 half an hour ago.I tested all buttons on the real Note 3, looked at the plastic trim around the side. Pressed the volume buttons. Pressed the home button. The 'play' and feel was the same. If anything, the H9008 feels more solid in the hand than the real Note 3.

geeez, so tempted to buy right now.... hahaha, your battery tests will close the deal.
thank you once more.
In another subject, do you think mediatek would allow this current generation to be upgraded to the latest android version? Chinese phone development is so fast that SO upgrades are non existent.

It's possible, but I doubt it. I will be surprised if it sees true stock 4.3 or 4.4.
If another similar (MT6592 1080p) phone with 4.3 or 4.4 comes out, we may see some good ports in the future.
And if LeWa / MIUI for MT6592 4.3 or 4.4 comes, again it's a relatively easy port for a decent developer.

Added CWM 5.5.0.4 to OP

Added Carliv Touch CWM 6.0.4.4. EMMC, sd-card, data - all mounting fine.

After several mishaps and bricks. We've finally figured out the deal. This phone is an OEM Mlais MX69T Pro http://www.mlais.com/mx69tPro.html, but seemingly without the NFC and the TD-SCDMA. We've flashed the latest firmware from 18-FEB-2014 and everything so far tested is working the same as H9008 stock firmware. The wallpaper, sounds and everything are the exact same as H9008 as well.
Unless you want to have a lot of fun reflashing and soft-bricking, we recommend you don't fool with MX69 (without the T) Pro firmware. The scatters are nowhere near the same. We tried flashing with scatters from stock H9008 firmware and with the original scatter that came with the ROM. There was no success with MX69 Pro firmware.
MX69T went off without a hitch though.
We'll try and have a first thoughts video up later today. So far, it's nothin' but good.

thx for the information, your conclusions keep me one step from pulling the trigger for this phone.

There were several slightly nervous moments when the phone didn't turn on at all. But we went back to work and tried several different times (10 flashes or so all together) with different methods and tools until we determined it's definitely not MX69 Pro 'standard', but 'definitely' is OEM MX69T Pro....The firmware updates have been coming out regularly for the phone as well (see previous Needrom link). A very good sign.

Different H9008 versions?
Are there different versions of the H9008 on the market?
I checked a couple of shops and found H9008 phones with different specs. The main difference is the front camera. Some list the camera as 5MP, other as 8MP and some as 13MP.
If the H9008 is a full OEM version of the Mlais MX69T Pro, then the front camera should be 13MP.
Another question which is bugging me:
What's the aperture of the rear camera on the H9008? The original Mlais has an aperture of f2.0. I couldn't find any information on the H9008 camera.

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?

Can it be rooted and updated to Lollipop or CM?

You have the reason, what hapenned with the scene? I want lolli pop or Android M minimal in a future.

Some people say it can be rooted and stuff, but still no Lollipop

Rooted
Hi I just root it with king root 4.1 in the device only. Try it twice and no problem. Don't have any idea about lollipop ROM

Please tell me if this phone is good for everyday use, camera and software quality? Any good for gaming?

It's pretty much ok for everyday usage and more, but for the gaming is not. It can run more than just basic games but do not expect 3D excitement.

OTG support ?

OTG doesn't work for me!
Few other disadvantages:
No software updates
Scratchy noise in audio recording
Buggy UI
Rear speaker emits very high frequencies without any bass
Display in nice but the touch screen is not very accurate
Camera is just basic
Missing basic features such as "kill all in task manager", "three finger slide to screenshot", "multi-choice option in lockscreen", etc.

V500 seems very hot in russia.

Any custom roms?

yes there are few roms, one in needrom.com and other in taiwanrom in facebook with htc sense..good roms and good phone..

Lollipop?

Not yet but son i think so. That guys of taiwanrom are working hard un many devices. Now i have miui 6 working fine. Made by taiwanrom

Based on 4.4 right?

Both SIM-Slots for 4G/3G?
Can both SIM-Slots be used for 4G/3G?
If not, which SIM-Slot is capable for 4G/3G and which SIM-Slot is only capable for 2G?
Thank you in advance.

1st slot can go 3/4g and the second is 2g only

For price 95 euro in China , very good phone (after 24h use). Dont feel like 2Gb phone, buggy UI.
But, I like : very good IPS display 400ppi , 5.5in , Removable batery 2500mAh, 2sim cards, 16Gb, look like 200euro phone .

Buggy UI can be altered by installing Nova launcher but the rest of the phone is too laggy even for surfing the web, not to mention any serious gaming, multitasking or photo/video shooting. No Lollipop, no OTA, no use buying it. Instead of giving 95$ for a device that is only good for Viber/Whatsapp and 2D, you would be better off with a Samsung Galaxy S3 which is still a good phone, way better than the ViewSonic in terms of surfing, gaming, software and autonomy

Display is perfect, 400ppi ( my opinion) . My dother is on youtube, games for girls work perfect. Only voice on telefone is little low

Should i get it?

Which device are you coming from ?
It really seems a great piece of device with good hardware, great specifications, dual sim support among others.
The only reason that I am still weighing this device over lg G4 (about 200$ expensive) is the price.
G4 has to offer these but it all comes to what I need in my phone?
Do I really need a great camera, NFC for payments, wireless charging, Quick charge (30 minutes for 60% charge compared to 2 hours ten minutes for full charge), a removable battery and expandable memory ? Also, the screen pixel density and results are great for LG G4 where screens are a bit dim/ yellowish for some Xiaomi devices.
However, no SDcard and non removable battery seems a bit of deal breaker for this device. Also, i am not a really big fan of MIUI and their reluctance to release source code which makes it difficult for development.
I might get this device in a month as I am still deciding my options between this, Lg G4, and Moto X Style.

You got a point there!
I wonder how the battery life performs on the Xiaomi, also the site i provided has a great deal on that device, thats why i am considering it and i just got a new motherboard that supports usb type c

I'm wondering how network performance will be.. So used to tmobile LTE speeds

I've got a Mi4 that has a 5" 1080p screen with a 3080 battery. Battery life on this phone is pretty amazing. So I would expect the Mi4C to be just as good or better. Getting 5-6 hours SOT is not a problem. I'm usually at 3 SOT at 50-60% battery.

It's not that bad and it's definitely usable. LTE is nice due to the no latency when transferring data. But the speeds of HSPA+ are plenty for everyday things such as streaming music, web browsing, emails, GPS, etc.

It will work with Android Wear. I've used it with both my Mi3 and Mi4 when I had my GWatch. You just have to give it the correct permissions in MIUIs permission manager. Also, texts didn't work that well, but it's nothing a 3rd party app like Evolve SMS didn't solve.
You'll probably have issues with Android Pay as the Mi4C doesn't have NFC [emoji6] . I believe only the Mi3 has NFC.

Well in terms of specs, it beats the Nexus 5X, more ram, battery and has ir blaster. Hopefully camera is good. They both have snapdragon 808 CPU so hoping it gets good ROM support. I'm gonna get this over the disappointing nexus 5x

I'm very excited for about this phone. I hope there will be nice software development for it.

Definitely interested in the Plus and Pro versions of this device.
I've been using a Huawei Mate 7 for nearly a year now and I'm fine with the size factor of it, and I think I'd like the even larger size of the Phab 2. I can't wait to see some tests on the finished product and some camera samples. :fingers-crossed:

Good to know that it does have NFC, GsmArena doesn't have NFC listed for it, but not having USB OTG is a bummer. I also wonder if it has MHL and WiFi Direct.

I just signed up for when its going to be released, this might be my next new phone.

I would love it if this phone had CDMA compatibility. I'm stuck on Verizon in my area, so once again I'm disappointed...

I don't like it either. But unfortunately CDMA only takes up 15% of the market (mostly North America) while the GSM standard takes up 85% of the market share. So if I were a smartphone manufacturer, unless I had an exclusive contract with Verizon or Sprint, I'd put all my energy towards making my device compatible with the most broadly used standard.
CDMA is starting to make some inroads in other countries, so maybe that will spur more device manufacturers to include the CDMA frequencies in future phones.

Thanks for the insight Clarkson. I didn't realize that there was such a big difference, but I knew there was one. This may be extremely naive, but doesn't it seem like they could just include CDMA radios and charge an extra $20 or something? I have a Nexus 6P that I'm extremely happy with right now, but I'm always on the lookout for my next phone. This one is unlocked and I activated it on Verizon, so I know they can do it!

Phone doesn't have NFC I posted this on Lenovo site and got answer from "Lenovo"
Does it have NFC ?

No it does not

Champagne Gold?
Any word on when champagne gold will be available? If I'm spending $500, why not be happy with the color?
The other disappointment for me is the micro USB. I suppose I can compromise on the lack of USB-C but I've been spoiled.
I currently use a ZTE Zmax Pro, a quick pick up after returning the Note 7. I discovered that I loved the 6-inch screen. Why not go for a 6.5 with higher screen resolution?
The camera and battery of the Phab 2 pro are much better. I'm a big OneNote stylus user so the screen real estate is more attractive to me than Tango.

I am glad the US is finally getting a phone this size with decent specs. I used to have the Z Ultra back in the past but their camera was dismal and had no flash but it was still a beast. I see the Phab 2 Pro as it's replacement for me as far as size, camera, screen resolution and full LTE support. I think Sony dropped the ball big time by not having a follow-up to the Z Ultra....I am currently using the Mate 8 but I have used the Mi Max and Honor Note 8 this year as well but the Mate 8 won me over and after I get this Phab 2 Pro..I will not get another phone for awhile

Z Ultra also had bezel from hell. Its touch screen eventually stopped working on me. I had the GPE.

4G LTE Verizon works

This phone works on Verizon 4G

Does this phone get calls over VoLTE or drop to 3G like the Phab 2?
01/26/17 EDIT: I had to go buy one to find out for myself... YES this device uses VoLTE (HD) For Calls.
