    Happy xmas to all at GizChina..thanks for an informative year of articles..

    Ive bought my son a CS918S Quad Core Android 4.2.2 Set Top TV Box 2GB/16GB
    with a Mele F10-Pro Air Mouse for xmas . Spent a few hours last night
    setting it up ….looks great so far although the F10-Pro gyro sensor doesnt seem to
    be supported by many games (Only Crazy Snowboarding so far). It is a
    quad Allwinner A31 and gets about 17500 on Antutu so its fairly snappy
    and I bought it from Store: ‘Android Mini PC TV Box Retail &
    Wholesale’ on AliExpress for $150 inc DHL to the UK. I will write up a
    short review after xmas when we have played with it a bit longer.

    Have a good one..

    Broke my Jiayu G4 screen last friday. My insurances don’t give me any money. Think I’m going to order a iNew V3 for myself.

      what happened?i thought gorilla glass is hard enough to withstand?

      • Ivo001
        December 26, 2013

        Gorilla glass is only scratch resistant I think.

        Phone fell from only ~50cm height and glass broke.

        Was really odd because i had the silicon case on, and the phone had survived a decent amount of falls from 1m height before.

        I think the phone landed on the metal chairleg with its screen :S

      Both of those phones are awesome. Go for the Nubia if you want 4G LTE, Xiaomi if you want more international support.

    Andi, Snapdragon 410 chipset has been just released which will have 64 bits cpu as well as 4G LTE and the price of smartphones will be less than $150. There will be room for 2 to 3 SIM and 13 MP Camera but there is no news in your site.

    TCL S950 ordered from ghdeal.com, delivered by EMS for almost 3 weeks, stucked at the custom’s queue, received 2 days ago. Anyway I’m happy with the unit, very thin, fast n still handy with 5″ display thx to the narrow bezel. Replacement for my Jiayu G3T that fall down and then goes blank only white screen – I think the LCD was broke, damn…

    • December 25, 2013

      Nice choice! A very cool phone!

      Me too. I love it more than anything else I’ve ever owned. Such a nice device, I’m totally happy with it. Even for $730. That’s still like 200 cheaper than an iPhone costs in China too.
