I want to make you all aware of the Neo N003 Premium and Neo N003 Youth.
Two Android phones that i think have great potential for a low price.

Sounds pretty good to me.
I hope the Sony 13 mega-pixel camera will deliver and that the screen is good.
If thats the case i sooo hope that the wonderful people here on xda do what they do and mod the shiit out of them :good:
Im already looking forward to all the questions about what kernel is best for battery *Snicker*
Your thoughts??

The Neo N003 looks great. I've been looking at it for a few weeks now.
I especially like that it's supposed to be the first mtk6589 phone to get usb otg and hdmi.
I'd still probably wait for the 2GB premium version.
Basically for the mtk6589 1080p 2GB phones I really only like 2 of them. The iOcean X7 Premium and the Neo N003.
I just got a iNew i2000 and have been messing around with it. It's very nice, but it's only 720p.

These companies like to make customers hot and then delay the release to another week then to another month. The release will be the end of april now.
I hate the look of the Neo N003, it looks so common. But specs are the best bang for the bucks.
I still prefer the iocean X7, but also the premium version.

Will be interesting to read what users think of it when it finally comes out.

Good choice ha!:thumbup:

The Neo N003 seems to be the most cost effective one out of the Android phones coming from China with similar specs based on rumours so far. My only issue is the lack of bands these phones cover. 2G will be no problem but 3G is weak and no LTE.

I'll be buying one of this (and in a joint purchase we'll get about 500 of this phone, both youth or premium) directly from NEO's factory. It looks like they extended the 3G bands as it now supports 850/900MHz band on 3G. You can see almost full specs here, many of them confirmed directly talking with NEO:
http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=8082128&postcount=1
Photos also look good:
Right now there are 350 people in the list (it's a joint purchase with 2 forums, HTCMania and Forocoches), 200 on HTCMania list (which hasn't been updated since some time) and about 150 in forocoches one.

There will be Forum on XDA ?

There should be one for NEO N003, general, as both share almost every single spec (only difference is RAM & ROM size).

is it dual sim?

lightake is excellent. there is a coupon thread here as well for the neo n003. in my opinion, not worth an extra $90 or so for the ultimate. the standard should suit 99.9% of users just fine.

Neo N003 2GB version is being pre-sold but the iOcean X7 pre-sells are only the youth 1GB version.

i can't see the advantage of having 2GB ram over 1GB if in ANDROID we have ZRAM (like virtual memory in windows) and the games/apps are running fine on 512mb RAM...
BTW, any news about this phone? still presale?

Some reviews say iOcean X7 Youth version has lower display specs, most say it's the same. Camera is 13mp in full version but 8mp in Youth version.

What's the neo company's name and their official website?
And
If android5 be released,anyone update this phone?!!!
At end, is any guidance to root and flash custom rom or anything?
----------
Sorry for my bad english.
Tanks

NEO company name is NEO, isn't it?
Website: http://www.neomobile.com.cn/
Android 5? well, next one looks like it will be Android 4.3, but we don't know if it will be updated.
There are already root guides for MT6589 phones, and this one doesn't look like it will be any harder. About custom roms, in HTCMania we are buying about 3000 phones so, yeah, maybe there will be roms.

Official Lollipop on Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2???

Have you any news about the upgrade?
do we will can see Android 5.0 ?

Still anyone's guess at this point. The Galaxy Tab S line only recently got their updates (and they are still rolling out on the numerous variants of those products) so it may be a while. Personally I'm still trying to be optimistic about it, but I'm not expecting any earth shattering improvements.

It'll take a while. Most of the larger-market Note 3's don't have 5.0, and they have identical hardware. Seems 5.0 has been put on hold for anything without a 6 in the device name, to prevent them impacting the S6 sales.

Even slight differences in hardware require testing though. Larger screen resolution and different cameras in the Note 3 and Note 12.2 are enough to cause 2 testing paths. Note 3 sales were presumably way higher than the 12.2 so that must take priority. My experience with Samsung is to wait a good long while before taking a firmware upgrade from them anyway.

Note 3&4 have it from Verizon of all people and they are some of the slowest to release updates. If they are going to release it it cant be far off

It's not that...there are problems ( I guess from google or qualqomm) with lollipop. I own also note edge 915FY and despite the fact that has the same hardware as 915F it has not been updated to 5.Even the S6 with 5.0.2.has an update before lounching....
The S5 has 2 or 3 updates after initial release of lolipop...
I just hope that note pro will get anytime an update to lolipop

It has that as well, yes. From Google. Bluetooth connectivity, crashing Contacts, WiFi issues, general instability and memory leaks. But holding off an update to stimulate sales for the new product is a tried and true business method that they've been using since the S2.
The second S5 Lollipop update was required because most users couldn't use their device properly after the first update, which was put on hold after the first week.

at this point I'd appreciate a decent non official Lollipop build...

I pre-ordered a Mi 4c, but I haven't received it yet. I live in China, and I bought a Mi 4c for my China Telecom sim card and China Mobile sim card. Now I am using a Nexus 5 for my China Unicom sim card. I would like to have a similar experience on the Mi 4c.

I'm using nexus 5 too. I brought a xiaomi4c from tmall, and received it in September 23. i'm also looking forward to Cyanogenmod.

me too moved over from N5
eagerly awaiting for stock rom to be made available, hoping some mi4i devs can help!
---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------
btw I moved over from N5 due to 'sticky' power button; otherwise it was a rock solid!

The back cover of my Nexus 4 broken, got myself the 3GB / 32 GB version. Really like the form factor. I am so used to pure Nexus, I install the Google Now launcher, Gmail, etc, almost everything feel like like my Nexus 4.

CM12.1 might be coming soon
Found a thread at MIUI forum, CM12.1 might be coming soon..
The thread is in Chinese language.
miui.com/thread-3010052-1-1.html

Screenshot

The only reason I haven't bought this phone yet is there isn't yet a CM port. Wish it would come out soon...

Need Euphoria OS!

Would love it if Exodus was ported

Hi Guys,
It seems CM 12.1 is out but i dont know if it's for the 2G+16G or 3G+32G but i think it's for the 3G+32G didn't have it tested so if you do it do be carrefully !
I uploaded here : https://mega.nz/#!LBgRVIob!tQBTjbKCSQKYDK_7i-FxVq6SzDf335X6dnjCT6yb0qE

It seen that the CM12.1 for 4c have some bugs ( flashlight not working and cannot charge when phone is off) as stated on the OP post and I have not flash the rom yet. Waiting for the bugs fix version.

you'll be waiting a long time my friend, there's no such thing as a bug free version....
You just have to know which are annoying for you or not. Flashlight is not a big deal.
Will try this version this week-end and report back.
It is pretty amazing there's already a version out though !

Both versions work on the rom, there's no real difference in the kernels of the 2 devices.

So I've been asking this question on almost all the new phones' forums recently because it's never mentioned in any of the spec websites or the manufacturers website. None of the YouTube tech channels check it either except for one which he also forgets to do for some of the phones.
The question is.... Is this phone Widevine L1 certified?
Anybody who already bought the phone can check through downloading an app via playstore. App name is 'drm info'.
Screenshot would be appreciated for anybody who are looking for this particular feature in the next phone they're gonna buy. Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah I know people can answer after they buy the phone, I'll just leave this here since it's something people should know before buying a phone. Whoever can get a screenshot of drm info will be appreciated.

Bump. Also interested in this. Wouldn't get my hopes up though, so far no Xiaomi phone has widevine L1.

I don't have the phone yet, but according to Frankie Tech's 48-hr review on YouTube, it's L3 (and he showed the results from DRM info in his video @ around 8 minutes in). He's running the Chinese software, of course... and said that the Mi 8 Global Version is L1, so maybe there's hope for the Mix 3. Who knows? Time will tell...

That's false. That YouTube guy lives in HK , buys all his phones from China. He doesn't know about the global variants that's why he says "probably".
I went to the xiaomi store in Hong Kong yesterday and checked at least 3 mi 8/ 2 mi 8 pro/ also pocofone. None of them had L1.

Can you clarify which part is false? Are you saying that it's unlikely any version of the Xiaomi phones (esp Mix 3) will have L1?

No xiaomi phone will have L1.

I'm also saying, anything without proof should not be considered as a fact. This YouTube guy has no proof that the global version of Mi 8 has L1, which is exactly what he says and compares the Mi Mix 3 with.

Thanks... and that's a good reminder as well. That's part of the reason I shared the the approximate time he talked about (and showed) that the Mix 3 has L3. I'm not really familiar with the guy, but it seems like he puts a lot of effort into his videos - I wonder where he heard that about the Mi 8. It seems a silly thing to lie about.
Anyway, thanks again...

You're right. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Mi 8 Global variant and it has Widevine L3.

Hi, just wanted to update this thread. I have a Mix 3 and Widevine is L3. Flashed the EU MIUI 10 ROM when it became available for Mi Mix 3. Still L3.
Shame, especially with such a beautiful screen. Hope this helps!

The information comes from the global version I imported from HK. Unfortunately the smartphone comes with videwine level 3 and not L1.
(For those who are interested I would recommend to order a cover for the phone as the included one is low quality quality)

Its L3, Global Version with Global MIUI.

Well this is something Vivo has to answer.
They need desperately bring new re design UI to Nex S as was their No 1 flagship that sold not only in mainland China but internationaly.
Only then will gain respect from user base aspect by strongly support their previous flagship on software matter.
Or else Vivo will loose many current and future customers and will not buy future smartphone by them.
Personal talking no matter what Vivo do I'm going to purchase OP7 day one if all the rumors come true(4000 battery,pup up camera and no redicules notch or holls)
I prefer Oxygen no matter how Fantouch will evolve.
I'm user who like a lot of customization and oneplus will deliver without any compromises.

Unfortunately as I can see this details review the native dark mode with Fantouch 9 it's useless as its light gray so no any impact to battery life and looks horrible.
Vivo should had add very dark gray or total black option even better.

Vivo is launching its new Origin OS on November 18 in China. The new Android skin is said to replace Vivo's current Funtouch OS. ... The Chinese smartphone manufacturer will select a limited number of users who will get to try the latest Vivo Android custom skin on the scheduled date.
