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.

Comparing the latest iPad and a newly released Android Tablet. Can anyone give me 3 good reasons for each device which is better and for what reason:
Latest iPad versus Latest Android Tablet

IPad has better apps, better accessories and better build quality (if compared to samsung). Latest android tablet can be hacked both software and hardware(presumably), and has the latest specs(except maybe gpu?)

Best Website To compare Any Devices
The best website I prefer to compare any devices of any XYZ company is.

If you want a super smooth and a well designed and neat UI, excellent build quality and have money to spare, go for the latest iPad.
If you want real value for money and the pure Android experience and the awesome option to develop your own software, go for Nexus(7 or 10).
If you are in between both the two, go for the latest Samsung Tablet.
And most of all, if you want to send songs or apps via Bluetooth or have a file explorer, go for any Android tablet.

Comparing either my old HTC Incredible or my newer S3 to this iPhone(4?) I have here from work doesn't seem fair. I don't know how anyone could use android and then go on to iPhone, it seems so limiting. Also it's heavy for the size.

Good question, I would like to know as well.

Nexus 7 or Xperia Z
Hi all,
I bought the nexus 7 a week ago but i haven't been that happy with the device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232569).
Im not sure I really need a tablet, and having another device to carry/charge is also a little annoying.
My iPhone 3GS is on the way out anyway- so i thought of returning my Nexus 7, and getting the Xperia Z instead.
Any comments on this? I do plan to read a lot on it (ereader). How is the xperia z to read on? Ok size?

Lumia 710 vs sony W8
i've been using my nokia lumia 710 for 6 month
i used custom ROM, so far lumia 710 so good, fast, smooth, good camera, can install xap application via pc, or direct download.
compare to my firnds android device W8, its lag, and limited in RAM

tornerei after
samsung note 2 dual sim N1702 vs samsung grand duos I9082
can't decide

China phone:
Goophone i5 vs zoophone 5

I also love gsmarena.com as some users have already pointed out... only "problem" I see is that you can't compare more than 2 devices at once...

If you are getting a phone for mainly reading, I suggested either an amoled screen, for battery saving purposes, or a lcd3 screen, which imo, looks better. According to what I've read, the z's screen is washed out, so I would avoid it.

Marshmallow update...Xiaomi is playing with us!

I bought a Mi4c a few months ago convinced it was a great phone that could replace my Nexus 5 and yes it is a good phone with good specs but I bought it also when Xiaomi announced it would update to Marshmallow. My Nexus 5 was already running under MM so, I thought it would be a matter of a couple of weeks (Xiaomi announced update in Decembre) Today months have passed, many manufacturers like Motorola, Sony and even Samsung have updated some of their models even Moto E...but still nothing for Mi4c. Xiaomi makes good phones and I thought it was better than others cheap Chineses makers. It wants to be compared to Apple but it lacks support and compromise to existing customers. I probably had placed my expectations too high. Am I the only one? Next time I will buy a Nexus again.

Xiaomi uses Miui rom. There is no mutch different between MM based miui and Lollipop based miui.
Miui have most features of MM has already.

thats right! because of that i have no stress to get MM.
sMIUI runs great for me and have many many features!

IMO, they have too many devices to support. Just look at this table:

Many vendors only support their devices for 1 year, some 2, but here you can see Mi2S which is almost 3 years old and is still a supported device. I don't think Xiaomi has big enough development team to maintain all of those devices to match current base Android version. Moreover, they're advertising MIUI, which should have the similar experience between supported devices regardless the base Android version. 3 devices are already out with MM (still beta?), just wait for Mi4c turn. What features do you need from MM anyway?

"What features do you need from MM anyway?" My thoughts exactly.
Looking at the new features of MM, the ones that are interesting are the memory manager, per-app permissions and battery management. These are all things MIUI has built in already. Which probably also makes it that much harder to integrate into a new MIUI version.
Most of the other changes are cosmetic and most likely would not be reflected in MIUI anyway, when the MM update does come out.

or you can install TS CM13 - built by TS team or TS broken OS. They are 6.0 MM and pretty stable now. Great team with great supports and speed.
Sent from my Mi-4c using Tapatalk

The only real feature M offers over L is SD card as internal storage. Since Mi4c has no external storage you aren't missing anything. MIUI already does a Doze feature killing everything in the background.

Doze, per app permission and memory management are thé most wanted feature un MM.
MIUI is good and I don't criticize his developping team very active. I am only mad at Xiaomi marketing team making announcements and not complying.

Like a few of us mentioned so far, those features have been built into MIUI for a long time already. So rejoice, you have your most wanted features
On a serious note, it's probably reasonable to assume the MM rollout will follow the release of the new flagship, the Mi 5. Which I think is like a day or two away. You can bet that'll be released with the latest MIUI iteration of android.

Please provide at least 1 quote from Xiaomi officials that said Mi4c will get MM soon.
And no.. gizchina "xiaomi mm devices updates schedule" is not official.

i use Broken that is 6.0 and it works perfectly...
if u want 6.0 that bad get it...

Smartlock is there but it is not working at all... That would be nice to have it, dont know if under Android 6 or 7, or actual 5.1...
Enviado desde mi iPad utilizando Tapatalk

i believe it's a matter of time before the mi4c reveives marshmallow... but judging from xiaomi history mm won't come anytime soon... i'd estimate (personally) early autumn the soonest......

Am I the only one that think Xiaomi won't update Mi4c to MM?

I guess so. Since Mi 3/4/5/Note get it, there's no reason to skip Mi 4C/4S/Note Pro/any other still supported devices. However, they seem to be in a discussion now, for supporting newer Android base with locked bootloader or stay with older one with unlocked bootloader.

Why shouldn't it get MM? The Mi4S just got released and should therefore get it, which is very similar to the Mi4C.

Maybe they will update Mi4c straight forward to "N" just like Mi4 which jumped lollipop to MM.

Heard of this phone SMARTISAN Nut Pro 2? Anyone has it? Want to buy it from China

Smartisan is one of the few Chinese manufacturers that pays serious attention to its design. The design of Nut pro 2 is quite stunning. More importantly, the specs is quite decent, 4+64, 6+64, 6+128 and 6+256, and i personally will like to go for the 6+128 version、5.99 Inch、Qualcomm Snapdragon 660、Face ID Recognition、USB Type C&OTG&Bluetooth 5.0
What do you guys think?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

I own it.
Hi guys, I own and love everything about this phone. The design is fantastic, camera is great, screen is superb and the battery life is brilliant etc... There are a few work arounds I'm still having to get used to coming from an iphone, but there really are very few drawbacks.
The few niggly things (being based in the UK) are:
- I can't use Android pay as it doesn't pass Android safety net. Looking online this seems to be true of a lot of Chinese phones and all of Smartisans. This one is a biggie to me.
- All 4 app doesn't work on the phone
- Some of the unread badges (WhatsApp for example) don't show up on the stock OS. I believe this is an Android thing though? Same for no easy way to copy and paste images...
- it says 3G on the network even when you're getting 4G signal and speeds (I tested them using speed test).
Other than these though I couldn't be happier. Especially for the money. The phone really is beautiful, more so than I was expecting.

Are you still happy with this device? Seems to offer most bang for the buck of all chinese upper midrange phones. Do you have any major problem with notifications, whatsapp for instance?

Google play market is installed directly without any messing around, but were you able to find a way to root it?

Hi there, I’m using this phone for about 6 weeks now and I’m happy with it too.
For the money it’s a great device, looking beautifully. The 128/6GB variant is very smooth in all situations.
It’s easy to install Google from the Smartisan store, search for gugi app and afterwards you’ll find Play Services an Play Store working.
Screen and battery life are great, 4g is displayed now (after update) when receiving 4g signal. Before it always said 3g.
Sound quality is average, the camera is not bad but I expected a bit more from it (less pronounced colors, a little less contrast and less noise in some occasions). It seems the hardware of the camera is good enough, it just needs further tweaking in my opinion (i am a camera nerd, owning Vivo Xshot before).
I received already 4 updates, mainly for tweaking and stability but I never encountered a crash so far.
Idea Pills, Big Bang are nice to haves, software features are good but some are not so easy to find out. As are the settings for Google apps.
Notifications of WhatsApp is working for me, however you do need to change settings in the app manager otherwise Messenger and WhatsApp for instance freeze at 5 minutes after closing the app (for battery savings). Therefor it’s important to get settings right.
All in all I think for the money it’s a good buy.

I just received this phone with a "global rom" but now it will not update. Does anyone know where I can find the stock ROM and the update procedure. Thanks in advance

I've recieved my Smartisan Nut Pro 2 Smartphone this week! I was so impressed. This is really one of the best looking (and performing) Smartphones.
But as @reefmonger I have the same problem with the fist OTA update I recieved.
It will download, but when installing it just comes back with: Error --> Press Volume UP + Power button to return...
I'm looking for a way / file to install the update manual. It's about Version 4.1.6. I'm now running V4.0.4.
Hope anyone has got an idea or better: the solution

I Already discovered it is ROM/ version related.

So a difference in Chinese / Global / international version ??
I'll take a look at the youtube film a poster added earlier ...

I have used thier flagsship for 2016 before (Smartisan M1L for 1 year), and now I am using this Nut Pro 2 and have been using it for about 3 months;
There are some points I think you need and others need to know:
1) Smartisan does not upgrade Android version. so if your phone released with Android 7.1.1, it will stick with forever; but they update the security patches after few of monthes ( 4-12 months )
so don't expect big updates, the maximum update size you will get is 400GB
2) The old phones get the new features (related to softwaare) that packeged in the newest phones, no matter what version of Android is.
3) The Nut Pro 2's camera is very sensitive, mine' camera glass got wrekt but it is still functioning and no any effect to the quality
4) Updates changelog always in chinese, but you can translate it using Big Bang feature.
5) others around you can hear the voice of the caller or the one you are talking to with vie Nut Pro 2.
6) the company is going to release another new phone in April, you can check thier official forums http://bbs.smartisan.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=182
I hope it is flagship, I will buy it and sell my Nut Pro 2 then
7} there is upcoming major update ( Software version 4.5.0 and size will not be higher than 400GB unless you are on very old ROM) - mine is now on version 4.1.7.1 (the latest version for now)
the chinese people are testing the beta now.
8) you can delete 90% of the bloatware and some of main apps such as the primitive calculator.
9) You cannot root the smartisan phones, at least not the new phones.

I notice you can flash the official rom with a flash cable. I ordered one which has arrive. Zi Reviews has posted a how to on his youtube.

Ok I flashed the official software using a deepflash cable. I am now on the 4.1.7.1 build which is awesome. Was really easy to do I don't like the shop rom at all!

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.

That's the answer to your question guys. And I am delighted since the time we wait well deserved I think (translate google)

Well apperantly Nex S owner got the device with Fantouch 4 while being young and until getting Fantouch 9 they'll be much much older [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

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.
