The iOcean X7 has only been on the market for a few months, but already a refresh is in the pipeline, one that features a 1.5Ghz Mediatek MT6589T Turbo processor!
UMi, JiaYu, Zopo and now iOcean have all confirmed that their flagship phones will be released with the more powerful Turbo MT658T SoC from Mediatek. It’s not clear why such an early update is happening, but some suggest shortages of the standard quad-core chip have forced manufacturers to fast forward through their roadmaps.
Gizchina News of the week
iOcean’s updated Turbo X7 will be named the iOcean X7 Elite and features not only the faster quad-core chip but additional RAM bringing the total up to 2GB. Internal memory has been boosted to 32GB ROM and the rear camera is now a 13 mega-pixel sensor rather than the 8MP found on the Youth model.
Early Antutu Benchmarks show that the X7 Elite is going to be quite the performer with a score of 14,230, in spite of the 5-inch FHD 1080 display! iOcean have been pretty good for launching their phones shortly after leaks and announcements, let’s hope they stay true to form with their latest handset!
Finally!! I’ve waited for this model because full hd is too much for not mtk turbo model.
It would be perfect with 720p… but I expected works fine in this version.
Yes finally, this was my first choice in february because of the similar specs, but better style (Umi X2 and Neo N003 look like a ugly Galaxy S3). My next phone and first smartphone.
finally.. the champion is here.
Zopo ZP980 turbo and this are now identical spec’d (as is UMI x2 turbo) however both Zopo and IOcean have huge foreheads at the top of the phone, why do they do this, otherwise it would be perfect. Would be interested to see the comparison of physical dimensions between X2 and these two. UMI looks to be considerably shorter in length yet having the same screen size.
Ok, answered my own question with a minutes research. The umi X2 is 8mm shorter than Zp980, and 6mm shorter than X7.
8mm in this day is quite a bit for the same specs and same screen size!!
Thats not true -.- (length,width, thickness)
iOcean X7= 141,69, 8.95 mm (150g)
Umi X2= 141, 70, 8.9 mm (155g)
Zopo C2= 143.3, 70, 8.5mm (150g)
Neo N003=142.5x71x10.5mm (173,3g)
Based on official site information. So the all are pretty much the same dimensions.
weird, this is what I got:
umi x2: 135 x 68 8.9
zopo: 143.3 x 70 x 8.5mm
iocean: 141 x 69 x 9mm
3 champs on the market now, Zopo,Umi and iOcean
I thoroughly agree with you!
More important is the price and if T stands up to the
Performace required by full hd screen.
Also I hope sheng has worked on screen bleeding
And produt qualitu I have youth that was DOA
And no one replied from company.
Fyi, the iOcean X7 Youth i bought has 12MP sensor instead of 8MP . And in a glance i can see it is real 12MP quality pics not just silly interpolation
Yes the sensor was 12MP, but the flash was suck. should go for dual flash
I’m hoping they will do an upgrade to the battery too…
Excellent……The true King cometh. When is it available ?
This is the bomb! I just love this phone,specs and all!! Only dunno how much it’s going to cost when it comes into reality?
Hope the reality won’t be too long either !
What battery are they using ?
Glad to see the new edition coming up in the market. Any pricing info Andi?
No not yet, will let you all know once it launches. Great looking phone!
Even if you don’t like the style at least the iOcean looks different from the multitude of Samsung and iPhone lookalikes that are being churned out by China manufacturers, props to iOcean for being different.

13mp,I though HTC means 4 is enough, ultra pixels…..?
Does anybody know the factory name who is making this model here in China?
