Customers who are still patiently waiting to receive their 8-coreMT6592smartphones from Zopo received some unwelcome news today after the company announced the first phones won’t have 32GB of internal memory.
Gizchina News of the week
Zoposhop.com, the officially shop for Zopo international have announced that due to a issue relating to ‘power consumption’ the first batch of 8-core ZP998 smartphones will not launch with 32GB of built-in storage. This is bound to upset some customers who preordered the 32GB version of the phone and have been waiting more than a month to get their hands on the device.
To attempt to make up for the problem, Zopo are offering to ship a 16GB SD card with the phones ordered in the pre-ordered sales.
Understandably customers are now beginning to get a little upset with the whole situation and it is looking less likely that phones will arrive in time for Christmas day!
This is why I never recommend pre-sales!

If you were like me and ordered the phone the moment the site came online, well, the site didn’t mention anything about preorder yet. Mistake 1: site went online before it was ready.
Mistake 2: Coupon code for free shipping didn’t work so lets give some shitty items instead.
Mistake 3: Don’t communicate when it will be shipped
Mistake 4: Tell people on the 21st that it wil be shipped on the 25th but suddenly realise you made the wrong phones with only half the rom you promised so write a email with a fake reason about ‘power consumption’.
Do they really think any1 will believe they only finished testing the phones 3 days before it will be shipped and only 1 day after they said when they will be shipped? “Good” company if they can fabricate 7000phones in 48h.
extreme trolling
exactly! the first time i read their email i was like are you kidding me? what an idiot should i be to believe your childish lies?? it shouldnt be the problem with mtk6592 because thl t100 is already out with 32gb of storage! zopo goofed up in the factory somewhere! and a cheap crappy slow useless class 4 tf card (which they will always sell ) is not gonna compensate us!
that would be more acceptable if they’ve tried to give us a 64GB class 10 high speed sandisk micro sd card!
after waiting this long they are completely playing with us!….
no Zopo 16gb tf card won’t make up for the 32GB INTERNAL STORAGE!
I am in hong Kong and I went into a shop that sells a lot of zopo phones. I spoke to the store staff about the 998 or c2 v2. They said they had a whole batch that they had to return because it was very unstable and they do not expect a stable release of the 998 till may be end of Jan or more even after lunar new year. Seems like because the 6592 is a new forefront mtk platform, the rush yo be the first is having problem. If this is true then I think it better to wait for the dust to settle a bit before splashing out. I hope buyers who have waited patiently ddon’t get stumped and may be beware if reduced priced 998 on ae.
