Hi, yes it has a notification led (red/green/blue), Battery life is good i think , i can´t tell you the exact time but with heavy usage (power saving-off, hsdpa using , web browsing, etc.) i have 65% battery and 2 hours of screen on (60-70% brightness) , it is quite good
Lte (4g) - test
I have new info for those who want try 4G (LTE) but cannot disconnect from the 3G network , just go to dialer and type this: *#*#4636#*#*
you will be in the testing menu , now go to phone information then scroll down and you will se: set preferred network type and choose LTE only , i can´t try it now because I live in a small town/village and we don’t have 4g coverage only 3G-HSDPA..
Good Luck and tell us the testing result a speedtest would be also nice
Build quality of phone is good? Screen density is ok? Definition of screen is good? Sound of speakers is fine? And any possibily to have kit kat and remove chinese bloatware?

Just read , the build quality is good , it´s plastic but don´t feels cheap it is like the samsung galaxy phones. Screen density? If you mean DPI , originally it´s 480dpi but you can change to 445. The speaker is really great, loud and good sound the build in dolby equalizer give to it an extra kick. ZTE said that there will be the 4.4 update soon , when you have root you can remove it easily.
I think Huawei Ascend P7 is better than this phone.

Thanks, I will be watching this thread.
I am thinking about getting the 3GB ROM version for 'future proofing' but wondering about support for it and if there is a way to get other ROM's for it, like Lollipop.
I've also read that the ZP998 suffered from GPS issues.

Does anyone have this phone yet and what do you think about it? I'm interested in the GPS quality and the Camera- is the GPS still losing signal as with the ZP998? I read that this model uses the new MTK 6595M chip with the big.LIttle arc and am wondering if it's faster than the MTK 6592 octa with 1.7

I'm wqiting for 999 in next 2 weeks (I hope). My 998 was obviously a very good phone, except GPS, that's why I decided to go to 999, hoping that ZOPO will take experience of 998 and correct all bugs from 998. If YES, 999, will be an ideal phone (4G / 2 SIMs / SDCARD/...). let's wait for it. As soon as I will have it, I will post my opinion...

Thanks I'll be looking forward to your review. I'm about to uprgrade from a SGS2 and can't decide between 998 and 999. Read the entire thread on the 998 and the GPS and audio in the headphones seem to be the only problems. If the 999 still has them( I hope not) then I'll
probably go with the 998, but let's hope that the folks from ZOPO have corrected their mistakes with the Lion heart
I also have this phone on order, and will hopefully receive it in the next week or two.
There is a YouTube video demonstrating the GPS which looks quite promising.
This is my first Chinese phone (currently the orig Samsung Galaxy Note ). I was interested in the MTK6595 chip, and as you've said, it ticks all the boxes for things like SD card, dual SIM, removable battery etc.
Will post impressions/video if anyone is interested.

I hope so I bought two Phones the mail order said the packet goes out on 19 november!!
So, Zopo have announced a different model called the Zopo 3X. It seems to be identical to the ZP999, except for having 16Gb storage rather than 32gb. Also, the price is $299 rather than $399.
This seems a very big price difference if the only difference is the storage. I'm a bit annoyed, as I would have gone for the 3X if I had known about it a couple of weeks earlier.
Has anyone else heard anything about this? Is the only difference really the storage? If the ZP999 had some other advantage - e.g. better battery, screen, or used the MTK6595 (not M) then I'd be ok with the price difference.
As we know, Xiaomi has released Xiaomi MI4S and Xiaomi MI5 in its press release. I have got the first unit of Xiaomi MI 4S now. I would like to share with you the xiaomi mi4s review for you. When i first got the smartphone, i am so glad that it is so nice and exquisite in terms of the appearance. I got the golden version with metal design. It looks great. I am really fond of Xiaomi MI 4S.

Design: 5.0 inch Capacitive touch screen, Diagonal LED-backlit display, FHD 1920x1080 pixels
Xiaomi MI 4S has 5inch FHD IPS screen which supports 1080p video playing. For me, I prefer 5inch screen size to 5.5inch screen size, because 5inch is the standard size, which is easier to put in my pocket, and hold in my hands. I have the better holding comfortability. And you can see the appearance. And we must have one question about what’s the difference between Xiaomi MI 4S and Xiaomi MI4 smartphone. I will share with you. Xiaomi MI 4S has been improved metal frame and double side glasses. This will be the main feature that i like the Xiaomi MI 4S very much. Xiaomi MI 4S has diagonal LED- Backlit display which has been improved better than Xiaomi MI4. 5inch 1080p screen has provided me with the more clear visual effect. So i can enjoy movies, games, search the internet for better experience by this Xiaomi MI 4S.
Hardware: Snapdragon 808 64-bit Hexa Core, GPU: Adreno 418
Xiaomi MI 4S is powered by Snapdragon 808 64bit Hexa core processor,
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 MSM8992 has a high performing CPU with a maximum clock speed of 2,000.00 MHz. It has 6 core(s), resulting in extremely efficient multi-tasking when compared to dual core processors.
As a result of following the Harvard architecture, the CPU has a separate Level 1 instruction and data cache leading to a slight improvement in performance over a unified Level 1 cache. The instruction cache is only used for storing instructions and executes in a sequential manner. The data cache stores data used by instructions; the point of access or storage is generally specified by an instruction.
This processor is based on the Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) design strategy enabling instructions to execute faster, as opposed to the Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) design strategy, which is generally slower at executing due to lengthy instructions.
Power Management
By using the big.LITTLE heterogenous computing architecture, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 MSM8992 couples slower, low-power processor cores with relatively faster, high-power processor cores in order to reduce energy consumption. The "big" or faster cores are used for computation-intensive tasks such as gaming, whereas the "little" or slower cores are used for less intensive tasks.
Above all, Xiaomi MI 4S this time chooses Snapdragon 808 processor which is the advisable move for most mi fans in the power management and speed improvement.
MIUI 7.2 (Based on Android 5.1 OS), RAM 3GB + 64GB ROM
Xiaomi MI 4S runs the latest MIUI 7.2 OS, which has simpler UI design and more convenient UI usage. And it has RAM 3GB, which has kept pace with the main tendency of the most manufacturers in the smartphone industry.
I can download large games or run the apps fluently and smoothly.
What’s more, the ROM 64GB has made me store the large files like movies, musics, etc. I don’t have to add the extra TF card to expand the storage, Xiaomi MI 4S has done well in this kind feature.
Dual Card Dual standy, 1 Micro SIM + 1 Nano SIM or 1 Micro SIM + 1 Micro SD card+ 4G LTE+ VoLTE HD Voice+Video calls
Xiaomi MI 4S support dual SIM Card, and dual standby. i can insert a micro SIM card, or one Micro SIM and One Micro SD card, it has provided much convenience for most users to have two SIM cards. Meanwhile, it support 4G LTE network, 3G Network, i can also use one 4G LTE sim card, one 3g sim card freely. So wherever i go, i can enjoy the network any time if i open the GPRS service. And it supports VoLTE hd Video and video calls to provide us with better real environment to chat face time.
Touch ID+ Type - C QC2.0 quick charge
Xiaomi mi 4s has the nice functions to support touch ID and quick charge 2.0 to charge the smartphone faster than the normal charging. And touch ID lets me unlock the smartphone more conveniently.
3260mAh(Built-in) battery
Xiaomi MI 4S this time improves its battery to 3260mAh battery with high-energy density battery technology and it has optimized the structure design to keep the body up to 7.8mm thin and long standby. It has supported QC 2.0 charging to let me charge the smartphone faster and more efficient.
Dual Camear: 13MP Back camera+ 5MP Front camera
Xiaomi MI 4S supports 13MP back camera, it has 5 lens, f / 2.0 aperture, which has high quality pictures taking, and video recording. I will show you some examples later. It has used the high performance image processor through hardware-level and high-speed operations. It uses dimming light image enhancement or dynamic range optimization technology to increase the pictures quality. It called ultrafast phase focus. It also has 36 Smart beauty for girls and boys. Facial recognition has also been supported.
As for 5MP front camera, it can let me take auto selfies clearly and do video chatting conveniently. I really like this smartphone, which brings me the nice visual effect and experience.
Support Multilanguage
Xiaomi MI 4S supports Multi language up to 30 series such as Afrikaans, Azerbaidzhan, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Catalan, Czech, Danish,
German, Estonian, English, Spanish, Euskara, Filipino, French, Galego, Croatian, Isizulu, Icelandic, Italian, Swahili, Latvin, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Nederlands, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Romansh, Slovenian, Slovak, Swedish, Vietnamese, Turkish, Greek, Bulgarian, Kazakh, Russian, Mongolian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Armenian, Hebrew, Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Amharic, Hindi, Bengali, Thai, Burmese, Cambodian, Korean, Japanese, Traditional/Simplified Chinese. Therefore, you can set up the mother tongue without limits. This will be also the main advantage of Xiaomi MI 4S.
Package
Xiaomi MI 4S has nice and exquisite package you can see, it has the phone, battery built-in, and eject pin, a usb cable, and a power adapter. If you think it’s not enough for you, you can still buy the screen protector, the leather case to protect the xiaomi mi 4s. Therefore, what are you waiting for?
hopes they launch this device in india
hopes they launch this device in india also.... they didn't released mi 4c in india... hopes they will not repeat the mistake
A bit weird design, I guess this is the cheaper brother of the mi5? How many dollars are 1499rmb? $200?
Mi4c was a real success, I guess this will be one, too!
Would you suggest me to get Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro or this one?
Seems decent. looks like Mi4c in a nicer bosy with SD card and fingerprint scanner which is a winner.
Hope they make unlocking bootloader easier though as its a real off put for importing it from china now.
waiting the price.

Go for redmi note 3 pro snapdragon 650 variant it is insane I don't know how the released it for such a low cost .. Also snapdragon 650 is lot more faster than 808 so note 3 must be a better choice although mi4s is double the price of note 3

I like better the Mi4S design but I think I will go for the note 3 pro, for the above reasons
How was the battery life?
Price?
any one else gotten hold of one of these
i saw that kernel sources were released not to long ago...
This seems like a perfect "upper" mid range device, would love for Xiaomi to go international withi this one and thereby start a healthy dev community
wow, Doogee leaked the news that they will announce Doogee X5 Max pro smartphone at the end of this month. It will be the other version of Doogee X5 Max, but DOOGEE X5 MAX PRO will come out with MTK6737 processor to save more power than X5 MAX. So what do you expect with Doogee X5 MAX PRO?
Check the rumor specs:
5.0" HD 1280*720 IPS, capacitive touch screen
MTK6737 Quad core processor
Android 6.0, 2GB RAM 16GB ROM
Dual Cameras, Back camera 13.0MP + front camera 5.0MP
Dual Micro SIM card dual standby
4000mAh battery,OTG,OTA
Support 3G/WIFI/Bluetooth/Multi-language/TOUCH ID
2G:GSM850/900/1800/1900MHz; 3G:WCDMA850/1900/2100MHz;
Will it really come out with these specs?

Wont happen, its a bait and switch for the X5 Max
This phone will never happen, its a 'Bait and Switch' for the X5 MAX.
On the http://www.doogeemobile.com/doogee-x5-max-pro.html site they send you to pompmall to make your purchase, if you don't read carefully you will purchase the X5 MAX ... Not the X5 MAX PRO.
I will never buy this brand of phone due to this behavior.

Doogee X5 Max Pro can become the upgraded version of Doogee X5 Max, it uses MTK6737 quad core 64bit CPU instead of MTK6580 Quad core, RAM 2GB ROM 16GB internal storage , more attractive price.
DOOGEE X5 MAX Pro
Well.
Having just lost my phone (Mlais mx base) Which was really nice (though it did have one or two interesting issues!)
I have ordered one of these from Deal extreme.
eud.dx.com/product/doogee-x5-max-pro-android-6-0-4g-phone-w-5-0-hd-2gb-ram-16gb-rom-852436380
Paypal works out at £66.10.
I will report what actually arrives when it gets here (uk) and what it is like.
Obviously root will be the first thing to do.
so i will have some reading to do for the next few days...
Regards
Radioanorak.
I have also ordered it - USD 79.99 shipped to Canada. What would be the best way(s) to root?

Afaics doogeemobile.com seems to be something of a scam or fake site - even the logo does not match the official Doogee logo - and they even don't provide any address there.
I think http://www.doogee.cc/ is the official site - also with an official company address: http://www.doogee.cc/article.php?AId=8

Generally KING R00T is the way to go with Chinese phones, no guarantee on this method, you could damage the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461
This is the only Marshmallow (6.0+) R00T that I know of.
I just damaged the charging circuit on new phone doing a r00t (5.1), the battery would not charge unless the phone was turned off. I had to reflash the firmware but the manufacturer has not released the ROM as of yet.
It went back to china as a defective phone, PayPal claim.
R00T at your own risk. and if you find a method that works please post it here as well ... TY
FYI ... GearBest extended the pre-sale date to July 10th (http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_367844.html), and the 11th presumably will be the 1st shipping date ...... (?)
Your shipping day is today from DH-Gate, did you receive a shipping extension? I keep getting 'Pre Sale' when I put the item in my shopping cart.

Ya, I'm here in Edmonton, I have reverted to DHL for all orders over 25 bucks. They charge only $7.50 per package, under 5kg, I try to combine orders, sometime you just have time constraints and a $5 item just has to get shipped express courier, the cost is always absorbed by the customer ......
Anyways, are you sure you didn't get the the x5 Max for that price? And not the x5 MAX PRO @$110 CDN (+/-) ...
I double checked. It is the pro max and it is usd 79.99. The regular max (non pro) is 64.55 usd
There was a $5 off special when I ordered it as the normal price (today) is usd 84.98 for the max pro

Hi guys, i'm new here, though Ive been using advice, contents and softwares from xda developers for the past few years, i joined yesterday. I appreciate and i'm very grateful to you all; developers, testers and simple users(like me) for making this forum this wonderful.
I also bought Doogee X5 max pro and received it a few days ago, so far it has been a wonderful experience using it, it's very responsive and the camera is ok for it's price. The only con i detected so far is the processors speed, while shopping for it, the specs given on-line is 1.3ghz instead it is 1ghz using cpu-z. I hope they fix it with their next update or maybe i was wrong with the expected speed.
However, my major problem now is how to root it. The build id for it is MRA58K, there are 7 types of systemless boot image on the site given by UnableToResetOldProfile, which one do i use. Also there is no twrp image for Doogee x5 max pro on twrp site. If anyone has successfully root theirs, kindly help outline the procedure to root it, thanks
Im waiting for my x5 max pro to arrive. Should be a few more weeks (already at customs here, but they take a long time to process it)
Payed 75USD on the Dx.com deal

thank you so much, unfortunately i'm rom version 1 :laugh:
Just arrived my Alcatel Flash Plus 2, very good assembly and perceived quality.
Good screen for brightness and colors, good touch with 5 points, and really good design!
white notification led in the uppers left corner, pleanty of sensors gyro, compass, etc.. 9 in total
Front Led Flash, backlighted lateral soft key and good touch and feel on the central button with fingerprint
Cpu MT6755M ati 1,8Ghz (lower than 1,95Ghz of MT6755) Gpu Mali T860 downclocked
MISSING band B20 800Mhz LTE/4G
Two sim slots (Micro and Nano) and separate Micro SD slot (metal cover can be removed).
for about 160€ at Myefox/Efox is really a good device!
Unfortunately my FP2 has ROM V.1 .. so i need to find a solution for TWRP, root and so on as soon as Alcetel/Tcl will publish stock rom in their site..

battery seems very bad or there are some problems..
When i received i did first configuration, google account and my apps.
used it wothout any Sim or MicroSD.
Some testing app like geekbench, antutu, cpu-x etc..
Running Geekbench3 battery test (in airplane mode) after 45 Minutes of test, my battery was at 10% and after 2 minutes it was completely discharged.
I start charging with a qualcomm charger aukey (used to measure battery capacity) and found only 450mAh of capacity after 1 hour of charge..
It sounds very strange .. also charging during use, results in a charging speed of 1% each 20 seconds...
I'm skilled and i have many mediatek smartphone (i'm Italian reviewer of smartphone) and it never happened on other devices before..
What do you think? it could be a faulty battery?
My Rom is 10001

Not actually sure, it could be a deffective battery or OS error, if there is any updates so you should update but which one would you recommend between those 3 devices
Flash plus 2 : No NFC, fingerprint scanner, 32 GB internal storage, 3 GB RAM
Zenfone 2 2GB ram : got a very low brightness and no fingerprint scanner but got NFC ( NFC is Not a big deal )
Oneplus 2 : No NFS, fingerprint scanner, 64 GB internal storage, 4 GB Ram
I prefer a very clean, stock android experience

from what i hear it will be everywhere after 2 February after the Chinese Spring Festival
so we do not have to wait long. Price is undisclosed yet
Since the Google company official released its new version of operation system Android Nougat last year, still lots of flagship smartphones have yet to get updated to Android 7.0，and those phone manufactures appeal to need to take more time to roll out this new latest version of system to their products. However, some budget devices run Android 7.0 out of box in advance of many high-end handsets, how’s the performance of budget device powered by Android 7.0 ? And what’s the difference ?

RE: AGM A8 - try to avoid GEARBEST ! + anyone know how to unlock / "root" one?t
I thought the AGM A8 for €128 on GearBest looked like a good deal -
My old phone's microphone has stopped working , so I bought one from GearBest . COM -
looks like a great phone, but GearBest have got to be the worst company I have ever dealt
with on the web. They took my money for "expedited 3-day DHL delivery", and here I am,
11 days later, with no phone and only a DHL tracking number issued 5 days ago saying the
package was picked up in Hong Kong. DHL said it was for delivery within 1-2 weeks.
GearBest wasted the first 5 days quibbling about my legal permanent address in Ireland being
longer than 35 characters - this is not even enough characters to represent the address of the
main DHL depot in Dublin, which is the only address GearBest agreed to deliver to, requiring them
to record my 16 digit driving licence # on the package (with the 38 character address of DHL's main depot)
so I can pick up - they were obviously just inventing an excuse for their delay .
They evidently don't speak or write english, and their communications with me have been nonsensical ,
probably auto-translated from Chinese by BabelFish-like software . I contacted AGM, who were very
helpful, and told be they are considering not supplying GearBest anymore because of many similar complaints ,
and that their phones will shortly be available for purchase on Amazon .
I wish I had waited !
P.S. : can anyone suggest the best method of rooting one of these devices, using only Open-Source software ?
Still investigating this, haven't found an Open Source rooting app that claims to be able to unlock one yet.
Thanks @7890K -
- yes, typical of my luck recently, I bought the phone for €128 3 days before they decided to offer the €9 flash sale, from the worst supplier on the web (GearBest.Com),
again a couple of weeks before it will be made available on Amazon; I also paid €8 for 3-day expedited delivery , and am still awaiting arrival 12 days later.
RE: Rooting Methods -
o AFAICS, after nearly 1 week searching, THERE IS NO OPEN-SOURCE ANDROID ROOTING APPLICATION , anywhere , period .
What I mean by open-source is that one can download the SOURCE CODE ( C / C++ / Java), build the application, and run it.
The motives for people distributing android rooting applications seem to me to be primarily :
1. Hacker Kudos (showing off).
2. Installing advertisements and unwanted paid-for content / bloat-ware on your phone
3. Taking over your device completely & maliciously .
None of these motives include helping people to unlock their phones:
A) controllably, so that the user knows every step that will being taken, and can choose not to take any step or to take different steps
B) Safely, so that bricking one's device is made as unlikely as possible
C) Understandably, so that users can read & understand exactly what will be attempted.
Noting the sad lack of above features, I've decided to write a rooting app myself, that will be open-source and have these features.
It may take a while, but at least I'll know exactly what state my phone will end up in, & it will be a good learning experience.
review of & stock ROM link for A8
I just received my new AGM A8, bought from GearBest 3-days before the €9 flash sale started
@ http://agmmobile.com . I think this may be because they are trying to offload the qualcomm
410 based units because they are about to bring out qualcomm 425 units (which is what it now says on
the specs web-pages).
But what a phone ! 4-bar 4G reception inside steel hulled boat,
Large 5" flawless display, excellent instant GPS fix & compass / orientation sensors ,
huge battery, FM radio, 13MPX camera.... & Android 7.0!
What's not to like ?
framaroot, z4root and kingaroot all failed to root the device .
Luckily, agmmobile have a link to the Stock ROM images at :
[Stock Rom] AGM A8 Android 7.0 Version (only for A8 7.0 device ,can't be used for update from 5.1 to 7.0)
778.9MB Mar 8,2017 : http(://)www(&dotagmmobile(&dotcom/en/page/service :
https&colon://mega(&dotnz/#!B9gFUSQY!gyfwczITS_iEE6-Lr5ADq37bxEZjIB9auR63Zmc6L5Q
I will try making a custom rom based on contents of above rom & post back here if any success at rooting.

I've copied that stock ROM to my google drive at : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxDTVsHFOZdTcHVmbmJZa3RNcHc
It just contains the file : T88Q_14.bin
, which is probably encrypted with some key , and is probably the only image the device will fastboot -
at least I'll have a copy of the image if agmmobile decides to remove it.
The Android settings does have a 'unlock OEM bootloader' option, but the device
does NOT support the 'fastboot oem unlock' command - it says 'no such command' ,
when I did get it to boot into fastboot mode by enabling developer mode & USB debugging,
plugging in the USB to my linux laptop with ADB installed, holding down Volume->UP while powering on,
and issuing fastboot commands.
The hardware identifies as an MSM8916 chipset with hardware ID: HS8939QC .
http://system-on-a-chip.specout.com/l/440/Qualcomm-Snapdragon-410-MSM8916
says :
"Devices which use QualComm 410 MSM8916 chipset :
Samsung Galaxy J3
LG G Stylo
LG G4c
Wileyfox Swift
Motorola Moto G 3rd Gen (2015)
LG G4c
"
But there do not seem to be any ROMs in lineageos or AOSP or ClockWorkMod ROMs for any of those
with Android 7.0 , so I cannot create a recovery yet & have not been able to root the device .
I would really like to build AOSP & create a flashable modifiable ROM for it - please, can anyone suggest how / which ROM / next steps ?
Only 2 glitches found so far, one the phone's fault, one android:
1. The phone slipped off my lap onto the carpet - the SIM card then became mis-sited & SIM card connection lost .
Not what I'd expect from a "Shock-Proof" device.
I think this is because the HUGE battery (with a true long life! +9hrs!) abuts with micrometer tolerance right
against the SIM card. Any sudden movement will mechanically vibrate the SIM card through the battery - but that
is literally the only design flaw I can find - an otherwise great phone.
2. An issue with lack of Wifi-HotSpot parameter settings on Android 7.0 - see : https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/networking/android-nougat-7-0-7-1-wifi-hotspot-t3574776
This is the killer for me - I am investigating investing in a GSM modem PCMCIA card for my laptop because of this if I cannot root the phone & update hostapd.conf .
I'm trying to build TWRP & AOSP recovery.
My mobile phone is my main internet connection.
