Hey Guys…I bought a phone from android-sales.com based on your recommendation and they have not come through with a replacement I returned on December 31, 2012. What am I to do???? It is now March 17…what am I to do???? Can you help????
Finally UMI X2 2GB RAM Version.. http://bbs.91umi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=34700&extra=page%3D1
Andi, not a tip but a suggestion–how about an article on what phones you can buy in China will work on USA TMobile or ATT 4G networks? Maybe too soon for LTE, but how about HSPA+?
i hope you can write this before Friday–when I leave for Shanghai!
Hey Andi, I have some great news about the Jiayu G4! Check the link below to see more, but translating the text gives some great information:
1. 4.1 will be changed into 4.2
2. Yamaha audio amplifier
3. 1800 mah standard version will get an 1850 mah battery instead
4. (Not sure about this one, I think they are saying that the front camera will be a 5MP (!) camera) with CMOS optical sensor
5. Dual sim 3G Connection
6. The white version gets a silver metal frame and the black version will get a black metal frame
Following this were a few minor announcements, but this is some great news I think!
http://www.mtksj.com/html/MTKshoujizixun/2908.html
I hope you share this Andi, it seems reliable and it has some great news in it!
PS, not shy about my name. Hehe
I’ve heard that on the Jiayu forum, new info has been released about the Jiayu G4
1. Android 4.1 OS update to Android 4.2.
2. Yamaha chip as “amp” sound.
3. “Thin” version of the G4 will be equipped with 1850 mAh battery, not 1800 mAh.
4. Improved camera lens F2.4 to 5P, an internationally renowned CMOS manufacturer. (captures more light?)
5. Slot to support China Unicom 3G card, the card dual standby 3G support
6. White version gets (white) silver metal frame and black a black metal frame …
7. Capacitive buttons are illuminated only with activation / contact.
8. Charger for battery upgraded to 1A (reduced load)
9. New style and packaging materials … and other improvements …
wow more 0.50 mAh for the battery that’s awesome -_-

Hey Andi, I saw some sources saying the jiayu G4 advanced will be released 15th of May…
In your story “20 Android apps download store alternatives!”, you talk about Opera as being a trusted place to download from. When I tried to install the Opera browser on my android phone, the app demanded the right to take pictures and video. This is not the mark of trustworthy software. This is the mark of totally untrustworthy spyware.
Hey Andi, can u confirme this information from Pandawill?
” I just got the news that the manufacturer delayed the release of Jiayu G4 to 15th.May.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
The reasons for the delay are:
1. Software issue: 13 mega pixels camera failed debugging. The manufacturer only debugged 8 mega pixels camera so far.
2. Hardware issue: 13 mega pixels camera is out of stock. “
Andi, The Video review is out for the UMI X2 Prototype, check it @ http://www.gogi.in/umi-x2-prototype-review.html#more-6149, 2GB RAM, 32GB Internal,

I would die for a good repertoire of some interesting gorilla glass phone models between 100 and 250 usd. If i see an article on top 10 mtk6589 phones coming along, I think it lacks info on gorilla glass or not. Andy would you please help us with a gorilla glass only top 10 or 15 deals article? Would be greatly appreciated !!

Jiayu.es (Spain) review of G4 including GPS demo including a drive round Valencia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm46wGF0Cf4
Thanks mate, they actually emailed me this this morning.
De Nada! I am driving to Spain next weekend ..Manchester – Alicante to our Spanish house for the summer. I will be about 60km from Valencia so I might pop into this shop and see the real thing before I order (from China! as its about 50$ cheaper but dont tell them that). Have decided that I want a thin black and white turbo premium one…as and when I can get one but may well change my mind and get the first one that comes along and then upgrade later (and sell the first on Ebay!)
Just sent you an email 🙂
Abbie scooped it on Gizchina on the 7th of May but now Endgadget has caught up 9 days later but includes some more photos…just for the ladies though I dont think I will be buying one

If you could do a review of this handset it would be very nice. Thankyou
Hello,

Thanks
Hi
Could you also do a ‘Compare Tablets’ tool ..sure it would be useful..Ive just bought a Aoson M33 as reviewed by Abbie (thanks) …a compare tool would have really helped. Might update my Tablet next year so you have time.
Also on the comparison tables perhaps you could consider adding Review comments where performed..ie summary , pros cons, Benchmarks, battery life, etc…
For sure the tablet market is just as big as the phone market from what I can see. More tablet info and android tv sticks/boxes too.
Really $99?

Hope it’s soon 😀
Andi, I dunno if u saw it yet but Jiayu finally has a release date. They will start selling Jiayu G4 Youth model TOMORROW AFTERNOON! They have prepared 6000 units and it is all without OTG functions i’m afraid. This is great news!!
Wow, no I didn’t see it thanks for the news!
Apparently Konka who manufacture tvs, fridges and air conditioning in China are unleashing the V981:

This lucky lady orders a Jiayu G4 and is happy to get a G3 delivered…at least she got a phone…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT9BDkx1Li4&feature=endscreen&NR=1
my G4 is supposed to be delivered to my daughters this morning and I am 1500 miles away….at least she will be able to tell me if its any good..Interesting to see her reaction shes a big Iphone fan girl
Also note that I had to pay £10 import tax…..which isnt bad but brings it very close to buying one from Jiayu.es especially now the jiayumobile.com have increased the price to $270!
Where did you buy yours from ?
Jaiyumobile.com but Ive had a few lies and problems on the way!
I was looking at the Jiayu.es site, apparently if we buy from within the EU, then there is no import tax to pay !
That is correct Simon..I had to pay £10 import tax on my G4 but I read somewhere that you usually get done for import tax if you ship by DHL whereas perhaps you wouldnt with other routes…my daughter just bought a Aoson tablet from lightake which caame with free airmail tracking delivery and she didnt have to pay any tax and it arrived quite quickly.
So she used free shipping instead of courier (DHL – there was no tax to pay and it didnt take that long either is that ?
Additionally if you use DHL for example and you do end up paying import tax – do you have to pay courier fees to DHL as well. I don’t quite understand it – having never bought anyting before !
Oh DOH….of course the courier fees is the extra you pay at the time of purchase for DHL etc…sily me
I saw it a while back. Bloody terrible advert!
Andi! News from Jiayu!! They say they’ve finally finished debugging the Jiayu G4 Advanced version and their only problem is the delay in stocks for the MT6589T processors and 2GB RAM chips.
THATS RIGHT! We’re getting an upgrade to the turbo mediatek processor!! I’m so happy I ordered the advanced version and not the 1gb version.
They say that they will launch with 1.5ghz processor, 2gb ram, 32gb rom and they are optimistic for a June launch! Not only that, they’ve run antutu on it and got almost 16000 points!
Can’t wait!!!!!~~
So the advanced Jiayu G4 automatically becomes the Turbo version, is that right ?
Thats what I read. I hope I didn’t misread that.
Excellent
I was just looking at the Antutu scores while I was out. Looks amazing!

Could you think about adding the top 4 Non Chinese Phones (Samsung, HTC, Apple and Sony) to your comparison tool as I am fedup with people asking why I bought the G4 when I could have had a ‘good’ phone! and Im sure it may help other people make their choices by understanding the price/perfomance/comparison with these more expensive popular phones
Great idea!
Brian you should have simply told them: “because you’re in the know”
I did but as they know me they didnt believe me!
Brian how long have you had the Jiayu G4, how long do you plan to keep, and how will you “dispose” of it when you decide to buy a new phone ?

Forgot to add:
The tablet features a 10.1 inch, 2560 x 1600 pixel IPS display, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. It has a 13MP rear camera with auto-focus and two LED lights for flash.
The Kalos tablet has a microSD card slot, SIM card slot, USB port, and a docking connector.
It’s currently running Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, but that could change to something newer by the time the tablet ships.

Hey Andi, was just wondering, I just got a umi x2 turbo and am already using it. should i do a review?
Yes, it will be great to hear what you think of it.
Both european official Jiayu suppliers who have been saying G4 in stock next week every week are now saying ‘Not in stock’ and the Spanish distributors is saying July:
JIAYU G4 QUADCORE
230,00 €

Faea F1 scores 10100 on Antutu versus 11800 for example iOcean X7! That shows the difference between the Mediatek MTK6589 SoC and Qualcomm MSM8225Q SoC. Of course it’s Cortex A7 versus Cortex A5 as well and different gpu. And then there’s different resolution and screen sizes, but still.. it’s nice to see how the Qualcomm Snapdragon holds up to the Mediatek MTK! 🙂
Uniscope XC2 will be powered by 1.5GHz frequency MTK MT6589T main quad-core processor, built-in 2G RAM +32 G ROM large memory, the body equipped with a 5-inch original Sharp screen, using OGS + IPS hard screen technology is currently the highest resolution 1920 * 1080 FHD level. Webcam part with former 5000000 + back 13,000,000 pixels dual HD camera, the main camera for Sony stack type, battery capacity of 2000 mA, supports common sensors.

The Dutch Jiayu shop says it has the 1.2 Ghz Basic G4 in stock for 260 euros and
The Spanish Jiayu shop says it has 100 1.5Ghz Basic Turbo G4s going on sale tomorrow at 07:30 for 235 euros…make sense of that if you can!
Hi Andi, I know your team is pretty busy but I think it would be great if you could sort all the phones you talk about in frequencies (3g) order. Since in frequencies used by carriers around the world aren’t the same, it would be easier for your users to find the phones that suit their needs.

Hello Andi, any news about the Neo N003? It’s supposed to be on market yesterday…
I would like to share my experience with Antelife. With the mentioning of Antelife,com on this site, I though Antelife would be a reputable company. Well, I have a different experience. I bought a Jiayu G4 2GB/32GB mtk6589t in black. On their website it was possible to order and it said in the description they had 15 of them in stock. Then a day later they wrote me it was not in stock and if I wanted a white one. (Why would I order a black one if I want a white one?). At that time the black one was still to order and had still the description of 15 in stock. So I declined for the white one. I wanted my money back or the black version. Then 3 days they did not reply (and I reminded them everyday if they could reply to my e-mail). Then a reply… If I wanted another Phone from another brand. Of course I did not. At that stage I really found them not co-operating and I only replied with the statement that I wanted my money back. Since I already had some bad experiences with other chinese sellers such as Pandawill (who charged me more money then what should have actually been paid), I went immediately to PayPal and started the process of a claim. While I did that, Antelife was busy giving me a reply. They wanted to refund me my money, but after the deduction of an ‘ADJUSTMENT FEE’. A what? Yes, an adjustment fee of over 10 usd. So they made a mistake, and they want me to pay for it? Luckilly I already started my claim through PayPal and I am confident that I will get the whole amount back through the work of the PayPal-people. But I still wanted to let you know about my experience with Antelife. The only store I have had good experiences with is DX.com, but they do not sell this Phone. I wonder if there are really good stores out there that can be trusted and treat their clients fair. I do not need to be treated like a king, but at least it should be fair. And that Antelife wants me to pay for their loss (PayPal fees I am guessing) is not fair. In the end I will already have the possible loss of losing money for the fact that in my case the usd needs to be transferred back into euro, and if the usd went lower… it is my loss. So Antelife should not make me pay for their mistake!
Hi,
My experience with Antelife is not so bad. Only my phone broke down after 8 months. I can send it back, but have to pay for transport, repair and all the costs…
Now I bought a new phone (ZOPO) in Europe, with 2 years waranty!
If you live in Europe, why not buy Jiayu from http://jiayunederland.nl/, http://www.jiayu.es/, http://jiayumobileshop.de/ or http://www.jiayumobile.be/?
I would, if they would sell the exact Phone I want… it seems they do not.

Hi, I’ve read on the Facebook page of Xiaomi, why Red Rice doesn’t support 3G worldwide:
User:
“Doesn’t the MT6589T come with a on-board modem for WCDMA?”
Xiaomi:
“Hongmi’s MT6589T has another name: MT6589TT, the first T is for Turbo, the second one is for TD-SCDMA. So it changed the on-board modem from WCDMA to TD-SCDMA.”
You always read about a MT6589T in Xiaomis Red Rice, but that’s false, it seems that Mediatek has a new kind of MT6589(T), which is worth a news/an update, I think.

Welcome Brian. Have you bought any other smartphones recently ? I think I might get an Xiaomi Red Rice when the WCDMA version is available
No very happy with my G4 got everything exactly how I want it and got a GPS bluetooth receiver working great with it in the car for £9.99 on Ebay. Only problem I am having is with an audio docking station. Bought the one I wanted from Hong Kong but it never got through Spanish Customs (thought was smuggling a £10 docking station??). He gave me a refund, so I ordered another one on ebay which looked as though it would work, picked it up in the UK this week when I was back, but it wasnt like the picture (i.e. it was curved to fit a different phone but it didnt fit a G4) so I am asking for a refund! I am going back to the first one but having it delivered to the UK.
Hopefully you will be able to get it delivered here no problem 🙂

Hello Andy,
I really like your website. I request you to please do a review or inform us about the availability of Bluetooth 4.0/4.1 in any of the leading Chinese brand Android phones featured on your website.
So far the only reviews I have read are for the latest phones still having bluetooth 2.0 or 2.1 specification.
I want to know the possibility of bluetooth 4.0 in hardware and its profile for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) in software ROM implementation. Since I want to use newer BLE devices with the phone (like blueooth proximity tags and smart workout gear and home automation appliances).
Hope you would do a review soon and will feature my request.
Keep up the great work
Thanks.

Hi thanks we spotted some of these a while back 🙂
Have you heard much about http://hdcmobile.com/hdc-galaxy-mega-n9200.html A 6.5″ full HD screen with WCDMA 850/900MHz/1900/2100MHz support. I’m wanting to get one to try on T-Mobile here in USA. FastCardTech had them in stock but sold out. The wife wants something her friends don’t have for Christmas. This might be it. She doesn’t use data, just WiFi.
Will you do a post of phones available to ship in the U.S? Maybe something like what phones work on what U.S networks? I really want to buy a phone but have not found good enough information to do so.
THanks

Hi Gizchina,

1. They expect stock on 2013-12-13
2. They mention Gorilla Glass 2 – which isn’t listed on the ZopoShop official spec

Autofocus not working sometimes ? Shake your phone back and forth ! I think that the autofocussing motor that was out of range and got stuck or what ever, will me moving and focussing again as normal. This is known as “rattle”, even iPhone have this problem.
Please would you like to write an article about the engineering part of this issue
I searched alot about AF-problems, but could not find any software solution. I hope this will be helpful for future smartphone geeks.
Ahmet !
Andi, do you think the camera on the Xiaomi Mi3 is better than the Mi2s (32GB)?
I heard they kept the same. Could you solve me this question?
Andi, what zopo model would work best in Irish network. Does buying from European warehouse mean they all work in Europe?
Not necessarily no. You need to find out which frequencies your Telco uses (3G WCDMA 900 and 2100? 4G FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe
Then look at the specs of the phone you’re interested in and compare. That’s all. But I wouldn’t recommend buying a Zopo because they’re rubbish.
For those of you who have a Xiaomi Hongmi (Red Rice), this maybe of interest:

you should talk about the Fiasco that Zopo has created with their ZP998 launch .First they said your buying a phone for 299 $ then they charged for shipping but said would be free then they said its pre-order .now its not 30 days release and also they changed from 32GB storage to 16GB storage .Zopo are doing their verry best to be dumped from their custumors .Bad situation Zopo.
yep, I just saw this thanks
Yes I have had a similar letter from them today. I have decided to cancel my order and wait to they get their act together. Pity I was so looking to have this phone. At least they came clean and offer a full refund. Bad to see they can not deliver good to see they are honest enough to admit their problems.
