Not that I know of. One friend of mine is going to buy it for me in China . But it will be available worldwide very soon , June-July

It's available in China now. Cost about 10% more than the Galaxy Nexus. Look forward to the P1S version.

It cost 470 USD actually for the P1. Dont know the current price of the Galaxy nexus (2011) right now
The P1 s version cost about 150 USD extra, reaching easily 600 USD, not worth it in my opinion. Why would you pay 150 extra box for 1mm thickness?

Can you provide a link?

Ascend P1 costs only $429 at an online shop. Check it out here: www.chinaphonereview.com/huawei-ascend-p1-u9200

hi guys i bought mine at this site http://www.liaow.com/huaweiascendp1u9200.asp so far so good! i really love this phone!

This looks similar to the Galaxy S2, similar features too.
Are there many Rom's? and how does the default skin they overlay go?
Is the Camera comparable with other flagship phones out there?

Hmmm, Looks nice, I love that it has SD card support.

Ascend D1 is better for its 720p screen.
It has come to China 3 days ago, Russia in August.

Are you in China? Any idea how much an Ascend D1 costs?

It's an amazing cellphone for that price,however;ascend D quad is around the corner,which makes me hesitate.
Just read tech specs about ascend D,you'll like it more.
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/productFeatures.do?pinfoId=3265&directoryId=6001&treeId=3745&tab=0

P1 is great! It will be available in Europe starting from August, as far as I know, on prices between 350-400 euro. However, there is the new D2 coming out soon (no idea when it will be available in Europe).
In China, the price for P1 is around 2200 RMB, that is 280 Euros. However, please note that the Chinese version IS NOT compatible to GAPPS! You need to install over a World/Europe ROM.
The phone itself is just geat! The speed is impressive! Camera is good (with some features not encountered in standard camera software). There are also all sort of Huawei apps, that are very good and I mention here a FULL backup software, for applications and data (does not require root as it is integrated). It supports FaceUnlock. There are a lot of other goodies not to mention. My opinion: a very good value for the money!
Just got the latest UI from Huawei. It is really impressive. A little bit MIUI like, but as it is done by Huawei developers, I think that the integration is much better. Could not find a problem yet, I am proud to be a owner of this.

It is an amazing phone

I love my Ascend P1 so much! It's a really good device, and there is a new 4.3 ROM under developement by spanorg: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44775438 Check it out!

It looks very nice.

[SPECS] LG G Flex 2 Specifications

Hey all
This is LG's second attempt in the flex series of smartphones. This version features an updated 1080p screen from the outgoing 720p display found in the first version, but LG has made the decision to reduce the display size to 5.5 inches from 6 inches, making the device a little more pocket friendly. LG have also increased the curve from 2 points to 4, they claim making the device feel even more natural in the hand. The device is also one of the first to boast the snapdragon 810 chipset, which offers 64 bit instruction set and access to LPDDR4 RAM. The processor itself is made using a 20nm process, increasing the devices power efficiency. The flex 2 also offers the latest Adreno™ 430 GPU, offering 30% better performance, 20% less power usage than last generation of snapdragon chipset. Coming in with 2 versions, a 16 GB with 2 GB of RAM and a 32 GB offering 3 GB.
But the standout feature is that curved display, what do members make of it, useful feature, or just another gimmick?

just another useless phone from LG

seems like it could be an interesting toy

Wonder if there's any chance it'll get wireless charging.
Silly to ask for, but it's become so convenient that I think I'd miss it.

Doubt it, if you flex it a bit now and then it would break the coil.

To be honest, the phone curving is really note useful.

Maybe not for you, but for us who owned or used a G Flex mostly loves it. There are millions of other flat phones, you didn't need to come here and waste time.

I am disappointed in the RAM. They should be offering 3 standard, with an option for 4. Other than that, it is impressive.

why are they showing a photo of the first g flex in this forum? also it looks like a nice device but i may stay clear of any devices that release with the s810 until they revise it because of overheating.

Any person on XDA would read reviews before buying a device. We'll see by the end of the week, when south Korea gets the first batch, if there is any problem and if so how bad it is. My guess is it's not as bad as media rumours make it sound.

Awesome phone. Will buy soon.

Do you know when the first in Korea goes out to costumers? LG said 30th, but not a single unboxing online, it did all go to people who don't use the internet?

It was a strange situation... I preordered on the 23rd, but my order was canceled. I ordered again today. The first time, the 공시지원금 (not sure how to translate...) was missing. The second time, it was added (so the phone was MUCH cheaper!!). I think all the preorders were canceled to add the 공시지원금.
I think the phone was also available in a few stores starting today, so there should be some unboxings soon.

More mp doesn't = better camera
Infact in many cases it will give worse shots in anything but ideal lighting conditions.

Thats generalizing saying more mp doesnt equal a better camera and true to a point only.
My note 4 takes far better shots than my note 3 or 2 and guess what..more mp.
In your thinking it should be worse lol. We all know there is much more to a camera than mp dude...goes without saying pretty much.
Perhaps i should have just said im surprised they didnt improve the camera lol?

Sorry I didn't mean to sound like it's the only factor, it just seemed that you really wanted more mp. Apparently they have made some improvements to the ois and the software so it may well give better images than the g3 anyway.

My assumption is that those information are incorrect, maybe auto generated to get webpage more clicks/views.

The contents are not as sharp as in our A2 lite. Mi CC9e has only 200+ ppi and Mi A2 lite has 400+ ppi it will be noticeable if you watch youtube videos in 1080p resolution.

I have little knowledge about what does that look like, so i gues i will know that if i decide to buy it. Does maybe AMOLED have impact on that sharpnes, i know from my expreience from Samsung S6 (AMOLED) that dark colors were better, and overall picture impresion was that it looked more lively and natural than it is on A2 Lite with IPS LCD, what do you think ? Thanks

The sharpness of the content will be based on how many pixel there is in a display whether LCD or AMOLED. AMOLED displays will have true black display and of course Samsung s6 display is better because it packs Quad HD which is 1440p. Also AMOLED displays had always been over saturated thats why it looks lively but can be tweak depends on the user's preference.

Update from GSMarena regarding A3 and A3 Lite
https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_mix_4_may_have_a_64mp_camera_mi_a3_spotted_at_the_fcc_with_48mp_camera-amp-37964.php
"Meanwhile, the FCC certified an Android One phone with a 48MP camera – it sounds like the Xiaomi Mi A3. This lines up with current rumors that the new A3 models will be based on the Mi CC9 and Mi CC9e (Mi A3 and A3 Lite, respectively)."

"Schematic of the back of Xiaomi's upcoming Android One phone - probably the Mi A3"
"A schematic of the back shows a the same design with a triple camera in the upper left corner. The model number of the phone is M1906F9SH, so when that name appears on TENAA we'll have more details (though we don't expect major hardware changes)"
Cool logos on back, android one icon is nice

Not Full HD display means it's DoA for me. Looking forward for the Mi A3 (regular) this time around, since it will have a 4030 mAh battery (Mi A2 had a miserable 3010 mAh battery).

What if it is possible that they produce A3 series with larger resolution than cc9e

Huawei Mate 20 X comparison @ GSMarena
What do you think? Will this be the Mate 20 X killer?

The 5G might kill the battery, but it does looks good

That back gaming gimmick design isn't my cup of tea, looks awkward and that big tencent game logo. Also these triggers buttons are useless to me.
If you're a heavy phone gamer its definitely worth it though.

I just saw this in xda news
Looks great.
Has to be more affordable than the s20 ultra by a wide margin. $715
Are these phones easy to boot loader unlock and root?

Same question.. bootloader unlock and hopefully custom firmware as well? Lineage OS or something?
Did some research and the bands won't really work with AT&T.. Only 2 of 4 LTE. Sad face..

One thing to note , you won't get many updates on these phones.

I've been looking at this one since it was announced.
If I can't get my hands on a good deal Mate Xs trough some of the local operators, I'll definitely be getting it instead!

That makes no sense. Although these are niche phones they are flagship in their own right considering the specs and peice.
I say updates will be regular. They have to be again according to the hefty price tag and high spec sheet.

Looks like same base, but case could be slightly larger. It looks like it lost the volume button. Apparently many colors should be available. It has the same camera placement as KKM2 Pro.
I still wish they'd do more about it, like reduce bezels, make it square thick (feels thinner). Unfortunately they are stuck with battery hungry OS, that is used on phablets.

release date for cubot pocket - june 18
upd launch on may 20

Overview and specifications (only partial for now) of the new Cubot Pocket.
Height : 119 mm. :-(
Where is the impovement compared to the KKM / KKM2 ?
The latest model of 2022 (Pocket) has the same form factor and the same screen as a rugged phone of 2019 (KKM) !
Come on, Cubot ! The viewable screen you use measures 90.9 * 45.4 mm (my calculations. I don't own a KKM / KKM2). With the same screen, you can create a phone that would be 100 * 52 mm (screen to body ratio : 79 %. Nothing exceptional).

Come on, Cubot ! The viewable screen you use measures 90.9 * 45.4 mm (my calculations. I don't own a KKM / KKM2). With the same screen, you can create a phone that would be 100 * 52 mm (screen to body ratio : 79 %. Nothing exceptional).

Improvements: better CPU, more memory, better looks. Good enough for me. The way to think of it is kkm3 with a less polarizing design.

CPU is better?
Being Unisoc, is it more secure, open source? 64 or 32/64 binder.

Better cores, still 4 though.

Hello !
Cubot's website said that the screen was "4.0 Inch QHD+".
QHD means "Quad HD". The same as 1440p or 2560*1440 pixels.
The "+" means wider ratio (e.g. 2880*1440 pixels if length is twice the width, like the KKM / KKM2).
But Cubot lied.
Cubot now sells the Pocket on AliExpress.
This gives one more specification : the number of pixels.
It is in fact 1570*720 pixels. This is HD+, NOT QHD+.
I don't like liars, but this is enough pixels on a small screen to my taste.
The problem is that Cubot now uses a 2.18x length/width ratio on the Pocket (1570*720 pixels), resulting in a 56.7 % screen ratio, when it used a 2x (or 18/9) length/width ratio on the KKM and KKM2 (1080*540 pixels), resulting in a 59.8 % screen ratio.

But in fact, it is worse than that : the rugged phone of 2019 (KKM) had a BETTER screen to body ratio as the brand new Pocket !
What a disappointment !

they have same line in specs for kkm2 with 1080x540 and i was pretty sure this is absolutely (and unfortunately) same display
and they've just updated specs at ali shop, no worries xD

True ! They just updated the specifications !
Maybe they read us !
1080*540 is fine to me. It is more than enough at 302 PPI.
A screen with smaller pixels would require more processing power, but human eyes wouldn't see the difference.

Cubot, if you read us : please make a smaller phone with the same screen.
100 * 52 mm with the same screen should be within reach.
You could even make a smaller phone if you use a screen with round corners.
People who buy 4 inch phones do so because they want a small phone body ; not for the "pleasure" of a small screen. But in the actual lineup, the smaller the phone is, the bigger the borders (and the worse the screen to body ratio) are !

The Cubot Pocket is powered by a Unisoc Tiger T310.
According to CPUbenchmark the T310 should be roughly twice as powerful as the Mediatek MT6761 (what variant ?) that powers the KKM and KKM2.
It has the same ranking as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 that powers the Rakuten Mini released in January 2020. :-(

Today they released rum stock including instructions and tools

I believe they will talk more about this device, bought from it in the last day more than 350 pieces which is a lot compared to Chinese devices
