FAEA have drastically reduced the retail price for their FAEA F2S Android smartphone and are now offering the handset for less than $130.
Earlier last year the FAEA F2S was one of the most talked about flagship Mediatek phones and although now the company seems to have stopped development of new devices the F2S still manages to attract customers thanks to it’s high specs and low price.
If you are not familiar with the hardware details of the F2S here is a quick overview of the phone. The screen is a 5-inch 1920 x 1080 panel, processor is a quad-core MT6589T SoC, there is 1GB RAM, 16GB memory, 13 mega-pixel camera, 5 mega-pixel front, NFC and OTG!

Of course those features aren’t quite what we expect from top of the range phones for 2014 they do represent very good value for money not the price of the FAEA F2S has been reduced to less than $130! More details of the price drop can be found on the official FAEA website.

This would be a bargain phone, but for the fact that it can’t hold a signal at all!
Maybe I just have a duff unit…?
It does happen, did you fix it or send it back?
I haven’t as yet – but I will be contacting Faea about it soon, and hopefully returning it. Would there be an easy fix for something like this, would you know? It’s a cheap, capable little handset otherwise – and one I’d love to keep as a spare.
Otherwise, I’m still waiting on a Oneplus One invite… but there again, aren’t we all? 😀
i have waiting three month for my screen to be replacing. Such bad service.
What’s the better? MTK6589T or MTK6582?
You should go with 6582 😉 newer One with lower battery consumption.
MTK6589T SUCKS
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE
Horrible phone. I bought one to evaluate for myself and my company. Screen easily scratched, reboots multiple times per day. Touchscreen inoperative while charging. Randomly goes into airplane mode WHILE I AM ON A CALL. Already sent back once and came back with all the same problems even after talking to their sales.
Move on.
Seems like a pretty good buy but I reading the past review from GizChina made me wary of it. I don’t like that it has a slow focus and is a really creaky phone. Does anyone know if there are some software updates that have made it better? For $130 it’s still not a horrible phone to consider.

“it is a week now that I am using a FAEA F2S and at the beginning the phone was not working well at all.
Very laggy, app crushed easily.
Then a guy called Gravasio on the FAEA forum published a clockworkmod recovery rom and suggested to reinstall GApps since he noticed that they were not installed properly.http://forum.faeamobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1021&extra=page%3D1%26filter%3Dtypeid%26typeid%3D2%26typeid%3D2
I have done this and the phone has changed completely. Everything is smooth, no lags and I am now very happy about the purchase!!
The phone is well built, screen is amazing and the battery last a good day with a normal use (mail, text, maps, and web browsing, few calls).
Honestly ,without the clockworkmod recovery rom I think I would have returned the phone.
