FAEA’s 5-inch 1080p F2 and F2S NFC get $100 price cuts!

Yash GargApril 7, 2014

One among the few Chinese manufacturers to have shown interest in third party development for their phones, FAEA are offering two of their most powerful phones with quite a substantial discount.

The devices — the FAEA F2S and the F2 — are now available for just $149.99 and $99.99, which to me sounds like quite a lucrative deal. Of course the phones won’t have the build of an HTC M8, but for $150 you can’t really go wrong when you have a 5-inch 1080p display, NFC and a quad-core processor on board.

We did review the F2S sometime back, and found the device to be quite OK for the price. However, FAEA have been active on promoting 3rd party development on their devices, which is something we really like. MediaTek phones often have to bear the brunt of missing 3rd party (community) support.

FAEA also seem to be offering free express shipping on the devices, which only adds value to the deal. It isn’t clear if the discounted prices will stay, but if you are looking for a decent quad-core 1080p phone at the moment, this might be the time for you to jump the gun on one of the FAEA phones.

Thanks to Xavier for the tip.

The devices can be bought from FAEAmobile.com.

To some free shipping works, to others it’s 29,99 (even with paypal). Oh well, it’s sweet deal anyway.

I think the f2s is getting an official cyanogenmod rom from faea themselves. If so this is actually a very nice deal.

  Omni ROM seems to be in a better state on the FAEA at the moment, CyanogenMod still looks to be in the works.

    Better state? Almost nothing works.
    FYI: There’s also no source
    available for _anything_. So nothing (like literally, besides two almost
    non functioning betas) came from anything. And the whole “Open Source”
    deal was just a marketing one unfortunately.
    So please don’t try to promote everything everywhere (even if it’s not true even in the slightest). I know you have to make a living, but…

We haven’t heard a peep from FAEA for months now. There were rumours of an octacore phablet but now nothing

hi andi newman n2 price now 100$ too in pandawill.

  I had a Newman N2 and I really cant recommend it. There were software issues, camera issues, some random restarts, overheating hardware so one corner of the display had slightly other colours and the battery was too loose so it went off sometimes.
  Even for just 100$ you dont want to buy it. Just an unreliable phone. :-/
