Rumour: Zopo to launch 8-core ZP998 Mini


Zopo China have started to hint at the possible launch of a new 8-core phone which insiders believe might be a mini version of the Zopo ZP998.

The rumour, still unconfirmed by Zopo, claims that the new phone known in China as β€˜Black 2 mini” , will be a shrunken down version of the current 5.5-inch ZP998.

The β€˜Mini’ name is actually a little misleading as the phone will have a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display. The rest of the hardware including 14 mega-pixel f2.0 rear camera, 2GB RAM, advanced audio, NFC, OTG etc all remain untouched and as you would find them in the current flagship Zopo phone!

    that is just f*cking retarded a mini that’s 5-inches… it should be written in stone that mini’s should be no larger than 4.3-inches

      Nothing to see here folks, just a foul mouthed midget with his own opinions on what’s mini and not mini.

        Yeah, but even if your hands has the size of a toilet lid..biggest part of mankind has a tendency to smaller hands. And what can I say..nope…5 inch to call mini is a bad joke. Whats next? 6 inch mini?

          Don’t worry dwayn, I still love you.

      Absolutely agree dwayn. I was also attracted here by the ‘mini’ in the name.

      I’m really tempted by the Xperia Z1S/F (name yet to decided methinks) atm, though I know the Jiayu G2F will be the one I go for, if only for the excellent VFM and actually smaller footprint (though the Sony is waterproof after all).

      Both are 4.3″ and both are excellent phones. I only wish more Chinese manufacturers would realise that not everyone wants to carry a widescreen feckin TV in their pockets. πŸ˜€

    Personally i dont think flagship screens should be so big unless they can manage to keep the bezels small enough like the LG G2. Zopo should indeed have a 5″ version to the zp998 but they need to put back 850mhz 3g. Its never usually ommited and now me and many others cant buy the zp998 πŸ™ hence my last device is the C2
