The Malata T8 is here

http://www.hkepc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1576672&extra=page=1
It's a T2 with 9.7" IPS screen.
You can read it all there.
P.S. pershoot and bekit, you should get this soon.....hahaha

How much is the T8?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Well, the article says 2000 yuan. That's around $300 if I'm not mistaken.

So, is this essentially a G-Pad with an IPS 1024x768 screen?
If so, it would be a bargain at $300, the solution to our screen woes.
Will it be sold in the US?

shall I see what I can get them for from my supplier that I get everything else from?
[EDIT] just looked at alibaba and they look to run $700 and up!... I'll see what I can find out.

Can't hurt to ask. If in G-Tab range, I would seriously consider buying one and selling the G-Tab.
But if $700, I am way happy with my $390 G-Tab.

我上星期四在廣州天河電腦城買了這台T8，
人仔3900買的，
玩了五天便2000人仔賣掉了，
這機wifi和3G的訊號非常差，
尤其wifi問題非常嚴重，
經常斷線和接收不到！
From google translate. he said that he bought it last thursday for $3900 Yen (US $600), and 5 days later, he sold it for $2000 yen (US $300). The wifi and 3g were poor and had big problem... something like that..
I will get Xoom then.

Currently, listed at a crazy RMB 3999, which is about USD 608.
That's why I said I would not buy it at that price.
I am quite sure it will drop when it start mass production.
After all, iPAD is only RMB 2888, even though this RMB 3999 come with a WCDMA module, it 's still a suicidal act to sell it at that.
The IPS is beautiful. I have the very first batch of T2 which use a 90 degree off cut of the TN panel, so that the negative effect is on the short side and viewing angle is better than the Viewsonic Version. Still, T8 beats it, no doubt.

Hahaha....This guy is funny and not very bright....
Here is the story, he brought it from the offical story at listed price, I think he must be really love it.
anyway, he said that there is WIFI problem and b****ing about it at the forum.
So the people in the forum told him that he said contact the store and get a exchange.
He said that forum is a offical forum and keep b****ing about it there, so the people there got mad and banned him.
He is mad then sold the unit for RMB 2000, which is a bit more than USD 300.
Since there is a exchange policy in the store, the person who brought it off him took it back to the store and exchange a new unit.......hahaha, a real steal at USD 300.
His original unit, was tested in the store and it connect WIFI OK, so they don't really know what he is talking about.
That's why I shown the WIFI Analyzer picture and have it side by side with my T2 and shown that they are about the same performance.
I guess this person just has load of money and does not know better.....

Yep... Official word is my cost is $630 (alibaba is even higher). I was told that Malata is going to have to start dropping prices due to the iPad price dump.
I was also told that it's mainly to be an international seller, so unless US Merchants or someone like that pics it up we probably wont see it too streamlined here. ALSO, means very little DEV love due to lack of availability.
Oh well, I would have played for $300.
Time will tell.

$400 US, and I would consider it - Tegra2 and IPS would be a match made in heaven.

It2steve! you can be our us Source!! that or find out what screen they used so we can use it on our Gtablets!

Malata T8 details
The price of the Malata T8 is 3000 RMB = 461 US$
This is for the WLAN / 3G version and it is from the Malta online shop. You need to have Alipay or other chinese payment methods to buy it there.
You find the description including Pictures for the panel on the Malata .cn Homepage. The description is not available in english so far but it is easy to navigate anyway.
There is no clear indication for the Android version, but it is Android 2.2. Quite good is the USB-Ethernet adaptor. It is not clear for me if the adaptor comes with the tablet but the tablet is ready to use for that interface. Further more Malate makes advertisment for the use of external hard drives without additional power adaptor.

hey at this price I'd rather wait and buy the ASUS Transformer $400 + Keyboard Dock $150 = $550, and it's Honeycomb w/ Tegra2 and 1280x800 IPS as well!

Yep, at 399 ya can't beat the Transformer. I have mine on pre-order at B&H as of this morning. I just wonder exactly how many other are on pre-order ahead of me. LOL

Here is live chat with Malata:
我 07:57:53

我 07:57:58
Which one used on T2 and T8
万利达销售：7 07:58:48
Tegra 2 T250 3D used on T8
我 07:59:10

我 08:00:10
T2 is Not 3D and T8 is 3D?
万利达销售：7 08:00:46
T2 is T20
That's pretty much explains T8's price ... besides it's amazing IPS screen....
As happy buyer of T8 just day ago online...I can't wait for DHL Express bring this baby

In need of gtab

New user here. Would like to pick up a reasonable priced gtab for my wife. Anyone have on for sale? Thanks

I have one that you can have it with the box for $265 shipped. I have it rooted running CM7.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I was hoping to get closer to $200 or lower.

I am going to keep mine. Sorry I can't go that low.

I might have a deal for you. Give me a day to think it over though.

anyone have one for sale under 200? Would like to get one for my mom for mothers day ^_^

The only gtab that was sold for under $200 on this forum had a cracked glass.

I think the retail stores are still $300+ tax so $200 is a little cheap. I can't see it going that cheap until way down the road. Even $300 since the eee pad is going to be $400 (if you can find one) is not unreasonable.
I have a sealed in the box I'd let go. $310 and I'd be happy, which is a few bucks less than retail at least.

I have one that I want to sell. It has the original OS so you can tweak yourself.
Asking price is $275.00

For sure you would be happy, but I highly doubt the buyer would be.
$310 right now is as unreasonable as these sub $200 requests, mainly because you can get one brand new in box with full 12 months manufacturer warranty shipped to your door for $275 all in from amazon.
Buy with any major credit card and you get another 12 months of warranty on top (for the same $275 all in).
That said, even at more common $300 (all in current gtab retail price), the extra $100 for a BNIB transformer is well justified (IMHO) given the IPS screen, native HC, built in GPS and docking ability.
To be fair, $250 with some accessories seems to be the norm on this board, which makes sense given that any of the accessories I have seen offered would have cost at least another $30~$50 (cases, docking station or skinomi's)
Would this get even lower ? hell yes, but not now, just wait till the transformer has enough stock for them to start sales.
As some has pointed before, your best chance at getting the maximum possible offer is a private sale to an unsuspecting neighbor via CL or Kijiji.
Best of luck any way ..

How much does the OnePlus One actually cost?

I've seen varying numbers here, so I'm just wondering how much the OnePlus One actually costs in the UK.

From oneplus its £229 for the 16GB version and £269 for the 64GB model. There's a few pound for postage also, can't remember how much.
You can buy without an invite from online companies like oppomart, coolicool, aliexpress, etc. They're usually a bit cheaper but obviously take longer to get here.

I'm stuck between this phone and the Ascend Mate 7 gahh lol

Looks a nice phone too, usual pros and cons for both. Although for customisation and price I think the opo is hard to beat at the moment. I've got a nexus 5 but keep considering a opo, particularly for the battery and better camera. But will probably hold out to next year to see what opo release next. It would be nice to just buy directly from them with no messing about, but maybe that will change.
Below are another couple of great value devices also worth a look.

Your prices are spot-on, the delivery charges are £5.99 for standard and £9.99 for express. Note that it takes OPO 3 working days to process your order...
Also note that buying from APAC usually involves the buyer being liable for import taxes and VAT... which makes the phone F. expensive. And takes ages....

HTC A9 vs Xiaomi Redmi 3

What you think about the Redmi 3?
It's the better/cheaper A9 from China?

Definitely wayyyy cheaper, but the A9 has the better components to it. Better when compared to the price difference? Probably not, but still better.
If you live in a region where you can easily get the Redmi 3 and it matched your network bands, it's probably the better choice. The only region where the A9 makes sense is in North America.

The battery life is almost 100% bigger. LOL. I'm in Singapore and usually the phone will release in China itself first before making way to other countries after few months. by that time, they are ready to out another new model of redmi/note/Mi series again. with their price being so close to each other, it's hard to justify the purchase when another model is coming out soon again.

Yup. Much bigger battery.
The only problem with that line of thought is that you just never end up buying anything, as something new is always just around the horizon. If the OP needs a phone right now, the Redmi 3 offers some great bang for the buck *provided* you live in the target market. The A9 is a great device, it's just priced too high (and comes with weaker internals outside of NA).

Ya it's sgd798 which is usd554.38 for the 32GB version.
I've gotten a 16gb export version for usd329. Not a heavy user so I guess 2gb ram is good enough.
& I already got 64GB memory card standby for it.
There's only Xiaomi that price is comparable to their original market (in this case, china, because anything under $200 is dirt cheap).
Even OnePlus doesn't feel cheap over here, around usd 30-40 more expensive than US itself (the hype starts in US afterall)

OnePlus 6 Price

What do you think? How much will it cost? Share your opinions on all models!
Current prices: 520€ for 6/64 modell, 570€ for 8/128 modell.
The 256GB one could be the Avangers Edition, but no info/price yet.
EDIT: Yeah, this thread is a discussion... Sorry -_- If any mod sees this, please move it. Thanks.

Hope they have a couple of varients.I imagine the 8/256gb varient will be fairly expensive so hoping for maybe 8/128gb.
Will only buy if it is around €550.
Hope they wil announce it early this year

I read somewhere that the base (6/64) variant will be ~530€.
But elsewhere i saw 600€+ for the base variant so hope the best

$529 (6/64)
$579 (8/128)
$629 (8/256)

OP1: $300
OP2: $330 +30
OP3: $400 +70
OP3T: $440 +40
OP5: $480 +40
OP5T: $500 +20
I's guess a price around $540 or $550 for base model based off of how it's been going.

It is very simple: If they price it too high people won't buy it. They used to make "flagship killers", but if they get the price even higher with this model, the flagship killer concept actually dies, because it will reach the flagship price. On the other hand, the average OnePlus user has become much more greedier, we want all flagship features possible, stellar cameras, high-res displays, but we are not willing to pay. It's kinda hard for OnePlus to make everyone happy.

if they ask for €600 there will be better options to buy.
Even the note 8 can be found around €650 now

Yeah, good price would be under 600€

I am absolutly happy with my OP5, had the OPO and OPT before, and the amount of money to purchase has been grown up to my personal limit.
500 bucks for a flagship killer is ok, but more....it would be a flagship and nothing different with others.
The community and the developer scene here on XDA is one argument to stay, but we'll see...

We don't know the price of the OP6 yet.
Of course it will be a better phone than the Mi Mix 2S (hp jack, oled display over ips, better default OS imo, but with notch), but if the price is too high, go for the Mix 2S.
EDIT: I have been seeing rumors for two days saying that the price for the base modell will be ~530€.
+ The Chinese release for OP6 is 5th May. (This is also a rumor)

Are you positive OP6 will have oled screen?

Rumor is that OP6 DXO Mark score is in the triple digits.

IMO this is going to cost at least €600 for the base model. Which will render it a pretty unattractive proposition to any informed consumer, as by the time it's out an S9 should be available for under €600 (can already be had for €630ish).
But then, they've built the brand, and some people will stick with it. Even though this is just going to be a very overpriced Oppo R15 with a SD845.
Still, it should be a significantly better phone than the 5 / 5T, if the R15 (& Pro) are anything to go by.
If you like the look of it, and you don't play mobile games, you should probably save yourself €150 and buy an R15 Pro, or the R15 if you don't mind the MT SoC. It'll be marginally slower, but have better battery life.
