Zopo may have lost it’s mojo recently, but they are still playing the game with the launch of the new 64bit Zopo ZP720 Focus. Here are the first real photos of the new mid-range phone.
After being thoroughly underwhelmed by the release of the flagship Zopo Zp920 (despite the Technicolor rear panel and OIS), the mid range Zopo ZP720 Focus actually looks like it could have been a promising device.
In these photos we get to see what the renders and specifications promised, a compact phone with alloy body and smooth edges. It’s unfortunate that we don’t get to see the details around the IR blaster, but at least we know one is there.
Gizchina News of the week
From a design and build point of view the Zopo ZP720 Focus is a huge step for Zopo, but whatever lead they may have gained with the build, they have quickly thrown away by demanding a high price, and offering just 1GB RAM!
If you feel you can deal with just 1GB RAM from day to day and are happy to fork out $230 for the Zopo ZP720 Focus and the accompanying “Zopotax”, then you can look forward to a quad-core 64bit processor, LTE, 5.3-inch display and 13 mega-pixel camera.
Had Zopo released this phone at $199 with 2GB RAM then I am sure we would be writing a very different article.

Because they make phones from garbage, and you have to make more effort to make it work that way.
The Zopo prices don’t seem too high if you buy in Europe and want to buy from the manufacturer. But am looking for the right phone to replace my Cuppy which was a bargain. But want a slightly more upmarket phone next time.
The cuppy was/is still a pretty nice device, one of the few also properly updated to kitkat (they also added the tap to wake function with the update, very cool), but this thing is overpriced for sure, look at the jiayu S3 or at the upcoming elephone p7000 if you plan to replace it soon, otherwise other mt6752 devices will be announced in very short time.
The Cuppy was fantastic for the price. Performance was good, design was nice and it was comfortable to use. This one is just overpriced to me. Maybe in Europe it’s cheaper since there’s not exactly much competition.
What are they on? No seriously do they make the phones for us or their own amusement? Polaroid blatantly copying someone else’s design, what did they think would happen? A pat on the back. I don’t get it. SMH and KMT at the same time.
