    Is the battery, 1800mAh, not disappointing for a 5″ display?

    E’ una cagata di telefono, non è LTE, batteria piccolissima. L’articolo è errato, ha il chip mtk6592.

    Whilst grammer and smelling (sorry I mean spelling) mistakes are not to much of a problem, like Slime instead of slim. It would be nice if the technical side of the article like the SOC was correct.

    It ‘a crap phone is not LTE, small battery. The article is incorrect, mtk6592 chip.

    Except for the battery, which is a minus for this phone, at 125 euros you don’t get an 5”, octacore, 2 GB RAM smartphone.

      Wrong: coolpad f1. I think its the best quality for the price with a 2500mAh battery.

      Umi Zero has better camera and a metal body, if I hear correctly.

    I’ve got the inew v3 for 8 months now. Its really nice. Esp. The cam and screen. Battery lasts me a whole day. Usually I use wifi work or home and whatsapp n surf a bit.
    Gps is an issue. But in 6592 its resolved as it isn’t incorporated into the soc but as standalone. If I dodnt have my phone this would defo be an opion for me. Except lte.

    Oh no, the battery on the original was already a bit lacking, this is going to be dead so quickly.. It’s always nice to see improvements though

    I own a Inew V3. I like the phone, but it has some flaws. The battery being the biggest. So imagine a CPU that costs even more energy. I don’t think this is a good update.

  13. October 30, 2014

    Yeah my problem is the small battery. Only 1800mAh. The 8core SoC will gulp that in no time .
