      The one wrote “Mlais” that is above the phone in the first image seems to be a keychain… could also be a power bank thought…

    The Mlais link provided by the author is only in chinese, nothing to switch to english language: If it’s already available, where can we buy it on an english written website?

    its the camera, that’s got my attention. I too would like to find more information about this phone in English. The website indicates a U.S. version (translated in goggle), but clicking on that option is little help…

    I’d love to see you guys compare the cameras on these 2013 Chinese phones. They seem to offer a lot, but I’d like to know if they are any good.
