Good And uPDATE
So Nice i See Specification .But Cost Some High
Review Quick and Dirty
Bought it today after comparing it with Mate 7 and here is my quick and dirty review:
Plus
+ very impressed by the motorised camera
use of o click: can control manually in small increments, on screen or through the o click;
+ sound quality and volume;
+ extremely fast camera focusing and shot to shot speed;
+ finger print scanner is good once i've figured out how to use it (and this coming from a person whose corporate finger print scanner cannot read mine...)
+ despite the weight of 192 g, it feels solid instead of heavy
+ without using the VOOC charger, charging speed is snail like; with the VOOC, it is really fast
+ O click pairs quickly and works very well (as compared to the previous version)
+ ps. heard from some reviewers that the camera head is loose but mine feels satisfactory. Some also mentioned about the rattling from the loose volume button, but mine seems fine too. Heng ah.
+ despite the many complaints about the faux leather over the camera/ear piece, after using it, I think i like this choice as it makes long conversation where I place my ear tightly next to the ear piece more comfortable. In short, it looks like a misfit, but it feels good when used.
+ Oh i love the gesture functions esppppppppppppppppp the double tap to wake, 3 fingers to screenshot
Minus
- crazy location of ear phone jack (though, fortunately, I use wireless earphones, so it is irrelevant.)
- coming from Note 4, somehow this screen looks small, although both are 5.5 inches
- mass storage option is gone (previously oppo had it right?)
- auto brightness is too aggressively dim indoors
In all, i think it is an excellent phone. However, at this price point, I don't think it'll move many pieces.
As compared to Mate 7, I think where Mate 7 trumps N3 is its screen to fascia ratio since Mate 7 doesn't have a rotating camera and uses on screen keyboard. However, i found mate 7 to be a tad unwieldy and the speaker to be too 'thin'/too shrill.
Largely agree with the above.
The good:
The phone is overpriced. I pre-ordered from OppoStyle and got a free VOOC battery pack, 32GB SD Card, and an iLike case for it, so the price of £430 actually felt ok, but without those freebies I'd feel a little bit ripped off, and that offer is gone now.
The camera is fabulous, only taken one selfie with it so far which was after a 4 day long course and 140 mile drive home, no makeup and really tired, but still somehow made me look good: http://lum.uk/temp/IMG20150122211859.jpg
The shutter speed on the camera is really fast too, so great for taking cat photos. http://www.imgur.com/p5dwFqR.jpeg
Dual-SIM on a flagship phone is wonderful. Work have me using a Blackberry Curve with a data bar on it and only Blackberry services allowed, so I've never been able to shove my work SIM into an Android and still get email before. Words cannot express how much I hate that Blackberry but I can't even dial on it without either using a pen to poke the keys, or end upbreaking a nail.
Color OS is actually surprisingly nice. This is the first Android I've owned where I haven't felt the need to immediately rip out the entire OS and replace it with Cyanogen or AOKP (My previous androids were an HTC Desire Z and a Motorola Droid 4). I've still had to replace the launcher with Nova Launcher though.
VOOC charging is really clever. I read a bit about how it works, the phone basically has 3 batteries and charges them at 1.5A each, so it's not going to kill the battery too fast. I really don't mind that a standard charge is slow. I charge it overnight at 2.1A from a USB mains socket by my bed, so that'll be 0.7A per battery which is going to make it really nice to the batteries longevity.
Battery life is superb. Even during a day of heavy use, my second day of owning the phone, including much tinkering, gaming and also using a lot of data in the doctor's waiting room, it was only down to 40% by midnight.
The "Skyline" notification light is actually quite good in these days of LEDs that are far too bright, however whenever I see the name I always think of a Nissan, not a fancy LED.
An SD card slot on a high end phone released in 2015!
The downsides:
The dual-SIM layout is slightly odd. It takes a micro SIM as its primary and a nano SIM as the secondary. 4G is only available on the micro SIM, not the nano!. This strikes me as an odd decision as nano SIMs are more likely to be 4G capable, and to be the primary SIM for the phone, with the larger SIM being from a crappy company phone. Fortunately for me my girlfriend is very good with a craft knife and the Blackberry SIM is now a perfectly good nano SIM. I guess some folk would rather use up their works data allowance for everything and then stick in a personal nano SIM for calls.
The position of the power button is annoying. I keep grabbing it and locking my phone when I want to just hold the phone. I wonder if there's a way to make that button unlock only, not lock, as I can lock it by either closing the case or double tapping the home button.
Opening task manager by doing a long press on menu, rather than home, takes a little bit of getting used to.
The Oppo widgets only work on their own launcher. I had to install Google Calendar to get a working calendar widget, which then left me with two calendar entries in the app drawer.
There is still a little bit of bloat to be removed. Google Chrome should not be baked into a ROM as it's 80mb and is almost invariably out of date when the phone ships, plus I use Firefox anyway, also the above mentioned oppo calendar.
There's a hidden app with the name still in Chinese that had me nervous at first as I had no idea what it did. Turns out it's EngineeringMode.apk and is triggered by *#*#4636#*#* and has a few things to tinker with, but use with caution.
No kernel source code available, no fastboot files available. This is especially annoying given that the OTAs failed for me.
Most information about the phone, and about ColorOS is only available in Chinese.
Non-removable battery.
SD card can't be used at the same time as a second SIM. I wonder if careful shaving of both cards could get around this, but unwilling to try it as getting a card stuck in that slider would basically ruin the phone.
The SIM slider can be completely removed and if you lose it you have a £430 tiny overpriced tablet!
All in all I'm quite happy with my purchase. I'm not sure it'll do that well as the phone doesn't know what it wants to be. The dual-SIM thing is great for business people, but the selfie camera is obviously targeted at young women, yet the size is likely too big and they're competing with Samsung who actually have physical shops in the UK. They're also doing zero marketing. For me it is (almost) the perfect phone*, but I'm weird and have multiple often contradictory requirements. I love it but not sure I'd recommend it to anyone else.
* for it to be perfect it would have to have a 5-row QWERTY slider. This is my first non-QWERTY phone and I'm struggling with typing having come from a Droid 4. Guess I need to look for an external keyboard.
so far battery life seems to be as good as my note 4.
very happy with the phone so far but knowing me, soon, i will revert to note 4 cos i like the pen.
the motorised camera is quite amazing.
my main gripe is i wish the finger print scanner were as big as the huawei one.
Comparing with Note 4
Note 4 over N3
- generally faster esp with file copying
- slimmer
- feels better in the hand
- a more sensible headphone jack
- better screen
- better auto brightness
- Spen!!!!
- GPS is better
- more RAM
N3 over Note 4
- faster camera
- more wow factor with the camera module
- much better mono speaker
- better finger print scanner
- colorOS is a more user friendly OS than touchwiz
- can be dual sim (not checked whether it is dual standby though)
- lower price point plus got freebies
- gestures are great!!
- fast charging is quite phenomenal
The placement of the monospeaker is particularly smart. It is at the bottom but more importantly, because of the skylight notification portion, the speaker is not the last part of the phone. This is important because for phones with bottom-mounted speakers, when i play games and hold the bottom, my palm covers the speaker. Additionally, when the phone is placed on the table, with the skylight bulge and the table flanking the speaker, there is a lot of resonance, making the speaker pretty loud!! At the same time, on speaker phone mode, i can cup my palm over the bottom to increase the volume. In all, this is the best implementation of bottom speaker.
what do you mean by "dual standby"? I have two SIMs in there, so I'll test it for you.
i suppose to find out whether both lines can be called through or whether only one can be used (despite there being two sims in the phone).

you can receive calls or texts on both sims at the same time....the sim settings are also great...you can set it to default reply so that if someone texts or calls you on sim1 the phone will default reply on sim1....also when you go to make a call or send a text there is an option for both sims you just press the one your using
Review by Music.Photo.Life.
I'm happy to share my review of the OPPO N3 here.

Thanks for reading!
Camera samples: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/b7gw08bpoyimm/Elephone_Trunk_Camera_Samples
Geekbench 3 Battery Test: http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/120146
In this review I will tell you the Pros & Cons about the Elephone Trunk. I will for sure not tell you that it is perfect! as I never have seen the perfect phone yet.
But for the price of 111 USD you get a really nice entry-level phone. And it does also have some surprising good things too! like the camera, build quality & UI speed!
This phone also has no stagefright vulnerability! So I believe it runs with true Android 5.1.1. The camera should be from Samsung, but unfortunately I could not verify this in any way, other than the camera does shoot some pretty good pictures.
Highlights
- 5.0 inch screen, 1280*720 pixels
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 1.2 GHz Quad Core
- Advanced 64-bit SoC
- Android 5.1.1 OS
- 2 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM
- Arc back cover design
- 13 MP Samsung main camera + 2 MP front camera
- Dual SIM Dual Standby
- microSD card support
- 2100mAh battery
- GPS with GLONASS support
- Supports 2G & 3G & 4G LTE network
- Network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz - WCDMA 850/900/2100 MHz - FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7/B20
Again a new model from Elephone, this time using the Snapdragon 410.
Some say that "Trunk" will be a new sub-brand of Elephone.
Just like "Huawei" for example has the "Honor" name.

@megthebest
Thanks! I also just added my full video review to post #1 It actually confirms everything you just posted! Only thing you didn't mention is that it is also missing a notification LED.

Unboxing & Deep Review (Italian Language):
Review Elephone Trunk
Package, Content, Aesthetics:
The packaging is a pleasant surprise for the canons Elephone, white box with reason "floral" color from yellow to purple, the brand and model Elephone top Trunk moved to the multiplex on the right; the indications there are no indications about the characteristics of the smartphone, we find only the adhesive side with the two (IMEI could be a box no final product to be sold).
Box contents: Smartphone, 1 Power Adapter with USB socket Italian 5V 1A, 1 USB cable, 1 instruction manual in English. There are no screen protectors (the only 1 is applied) and there are no in ear headphones.
- External dimensions of the smartphone in line with other china phone 5 "; it measures 143 x 71.5 x 8.9 mm for just over 139g of weight.
- Construction of good quality, the use of relatively inexpensive materials.
The white model has received slightly turning to yellow, but a good impression.
- On the left side we find keys, and the right side we find the volume rocker on the top and the power button slightly lower.
- At the top we find the audio jack and the micro USB socket; on the underside of the microphone.
- In the back at the top center are slightly protruding from the camera 8 megapixel f / 2.2 (do not know if Samsung or Sony) (13 megapixels interpolated) and the LED flash, and the lower the speaker (unfortunately with a planar shape of the cover, the audio will be muffled with a minimum device on the table).
- In the front we find the earpiece at the top, the camera 2Mpixel f / 2.8 autofocus, LED flash and the light sensor / proximity.
- The keys have a soft touch white backlight fairly widespread and visible, the central circular shape, the side keys are simple dots; backlight / white LED does not seem to be associated with the arrival of notifications.
- Cover quite robust and with good joint with the body. The keys are on the cover, the finish is smooth, then a minimum slippery remains, we cannot see footprints because of the white color of our model.
- Screen with pre-applied film from the house which offers a good flowability and has a minimum of oleophobic treatment; there aren't more films in the package
- Display brightness is good, good viewing angle; HD IPS LCD screen with colors and sharpness well played good for the category.
- Touch-sensitive and comes with multitouch 5 touches, writing rapidly and with Swype function that you type with two fingers (keyboard used Google)
- Two sim slots: Both Micro Sim 4G (with dynamic selection software).
- Presence MicroSD slot with a capacity of 32Gb (I tested Samsung 64Gb and are properly recognized).
- Removable battery 2100mAh declared, to the test with amperomento, we found about 2000mAh; Geekbench test was not very positive, absolute, I expected more hours of screen instead maybe we are still a little rom and kernel optimized and standby power consumption is quite high.
- Android 5.1.1 with customization in icons and launcher Elephone UI (to be replaced immediately with something better like Nova, Apus, Cm Launcher).
- Open the app and switch between apps very quickly, stock browser with a few bumps as always (we recommend Chrome). Task manager by pressing and holding the center button and option to clear all apps.
- Excellent management 16Gb of internal ROM that are available in a partition to 11.7 GB for apps and data.
- Good management 2Gb ram by Android 5.1.1 .. more than 1.2GB of RAM free after loading some apps into memory at startup.
Connectivity:
WiFi b / g with no problem hooking stable, good power (not tested it in wifi dual band).
BT 4 tested pairing with headsets and car, no problems
OTG: NOT Working
GPS: fast enough, with cloudy sky outside has also fixed in 20 seconds 8 satellites (out of 14), with accuracy of 5 meters .. compatibility with satellites glonass.
Camera:
- Main camera Samsung 8Mpixel f / 2.2 (13Mpixel interpolated) that produces valid shots with daylight; good focus and flash of good power; camera interface optimized Qualcomm has many options; when using the flash or light conditions unfavorable, the quality of the shots falls but not overly, interesting seal at high ISO that allows to bring home click the "acceptable" even 1200 ISO.
- Sufficient video performance, slightly slow the focus and during the displacement along the axis of rotation, is present shuttering.
- Secondary camera for Selfie 2Mpixel with autofocus and face recognition, quality of the shots enough for video calls to some emergency selfie with good light.
Bench:
Antutu 5.7.1 over 23000 punti..risultato in line with that of other cpu quad core Snapdragon 410 1.2GHz.
Geekbench 3 with 1484 points in multi-core test and 490 in the single-core test.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3578356
Geekbench Battery Test (approximately 6 hours of screen on time, I would say not great for a real 2000mAh perhaps due to poor optimization kernel / rom).
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/118368
Audio:
Good sound quality overall, good volume of speaker and earpiece.
Position of the speaker rear which happens to be unhappy if you usually place the device on the table and then playing Expect a loss of volume.
Good vibration and sound with headphones pretty good.
Conclusion:
PRO:
- Good quality of the screen has a resolution HD adequate to the class of the device, has a good brightness, good color and viewing angle of the display.
- Good assembly and product design, weight evenly distributed and good ergonomics.
- Price of about 100 € for a quad core CPU Snapdragon 410 2Gb Ram 16GB Rom, 2 SIM and Micro SD
- 4G bands 1,3,7,20 (then there is also the band 20 to 800Mhz essential especially with the wind)
- Dual SIM (both Micro SIM) and support up to 64Gb MicroSD least tested (declared support up to 32GB)
- GPS with Glonass
- Soft touch buttons illuminated with white light (at least in the white version of the phone)
- Android 5.1.1 practically stock of Sept. 2015
- Setting the device to wake from standby through the volume keys and turn off the display by double tap on key soft-touch center
AGAINST:
- The Adreno 306 graphics card hard with heavy games at HD resolution, however also titles like Asphalt 8 are still enjoyable without excessive sacrifice framerate
- Battery below expectations, 6 hours of screen with Geekbench could turn into about 3 hours with the backlight on using SIM and Internet traffic; definitely missing optimization software, there is still the possibility to enable the energy saving that seems only slightly affect performance.
- No No Compass and Gyroscope
- No support OTG
- No notification LED (illuminates the soft touch is not used for notifications)
- The keys to the screen though excellent, steal valuable space on the desktop and the keyboard while typing
- No cover or film since it is a brand new product
- Root currently not possible with the usual software tools.
so about 2050mAh , more or less as i have seen with my measurements..

I made a second test (but from 93%) and got this, a bit better http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/120146
Maybe it gets better after more charging cycles.
Tjos trunk seems to be good..
From 27th up to now, with heavy use 2h yesterday and more than 3h today, battery lasting a lot!
6h screen on time, automatic brightness (half bar) and some viseos, surfing, music..
...
I think for the first time, that in normal use the battery last longer than during the geekbench battery test.
On the other phones testd, if i had 9 hours of screen on time in geekbench, during normal use, i had about 4/5 hours of screen on time.. Very strange and interesting too...
oh, good, this is really a good smartphone, which website provides this phone coupons?

A well-recognized web site specialized in selling mobile phones, tablet computers and accessories, Pandawill, has provided a sample of the Doogee X5 Pro for testing and writing this review.
Technical specifications:
Processor: 1.0GHz Quad-Core Cortex-A53 (Mediatek MT6735, 64-bit)
Graphics chip: Mali-T720
Display: 5.0“ IPS LCD 1280x720 pixels (sensitive in 2 points simultaneously)
RAM: 2GB
Memory: 16GB ROM (~12GB user available) + microSD slot
Back Camera: 5.0Mpix (interpolated 8.0Mpix), autofocus, LED flash, video [email protected]
Front Camera: 2.0Mpix (interpolated 5.0Mpix)
Battery: 2400mAh (removable)
Connectivity: WiFi 802.11b/g/b, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB, OTG, GPS with A-GPS
OS: Android 5.1 (Lollipop)
Dimensions: 145 x 82 x 40mm
Network: 2G – 850/900/1800/1900MHz, 3G – WCDMA 850/1900/2100MHz, 4G – FDD-LTE Bands 1/3/7/8/20
Other: Dual SIM, FM Radio
Package contentDoogee X5 along with its accessories comes in a compact box, the design of which is simple, but quite interesting. On the top there is a light-reflecting “X5 Pro” mark, while on the bottom you can see phone’s most important features. On one of the sides of the box, there is a scratch sticker hiding the product authenticity verification code.
Upon opening the box on the side, you can pull out the content of the box – phone, charger, USB cable and short manual. A protective foil is already on the phone, so its new owner doesn’t have to go through the trouble of applying it himself.
The charger is standard, with a generic shape and specifications of 5V 700mA. However, it would surely be better if the manufacturer had provided a charger of at least 1A to shorten the charging period.
The USB cable given with the phone could be used for phone-PC data transfer as well as for charging – it is not limited only to the charging capacity.
The short manual covers the basics of Android OS use, and thus will be useful only to the beginners in the Android world.
The 2400mAh battery is already inside the phone when the buyer gets it, but before he starts using it, he needs to remove the protective foil off of it, as is specified on the box.
The absence of stereo headphones from the package implies that the manufacturer wanted to lower the price as much as possible, which will not bother most of new users, since they will already have headphones of their liking.
AppearanceDoogee X5 Pro has a simple design and the model we received for the purpose of this test is completely black (there is also a black-and-white combination). It is considered to be a phone of average thickness (8.2mm), but you can “feel” it in the hand because of its weight of as much as 130 grams. The battery cover takes most of the phone’s frame, thus in a way protecting it in case of falling on one of its edges.
On the top side of the phone there are connecting ports – a micro USB port (for charging, as well as PC and peripheral devices connection) and a 3.5mm audio connector for headphones.
On the right side there are buttons for sound control and turning the screen on and off. They are very sturdy, well responsive and have a distinguishable click, which makes us think they will endure usage for long period of time.
Microphone and speaker openings are on the bottom side of the phone. As far as sound is concerned, it is very loud and reproduced in satisfactory quality, so the phone can be clearly heard even if it is carried in its own case.
The biggest part of the front side is occupied by a 5.0” display. Even though there was available space for the control buttons to be on the screen itself, the manufacturer decided to place the capacitive buttons (Menu, Home and Back) below the screen. This is a better option for some users, since the entire screen is available at all times, while others will be asking why the buttons aren’t on the screen, since it will additionally make the phone smaller. Unfortunately, capacitive buttons aren’t backlit, which makes them hard to see and use in the dark.
Above the screen you can see the front 2Mpix camera, proximity and light sensors, as well as the speaker opening. In-call sound quality is clear and loud, even in the middle of the sound control bar.
The battery cover is smooth to the touch, but covered in rubber-like plastic in order to prevent slipping and allowing better handling of the phone. Perfectionists will be bothered by the fact that the phone will constantly be covered in finger prints, and so they will have to wipe it with a cloth regularly.
In the upper section of the phone there is a 5Mpix camera, not far from the flash LED. In addition, under that exact spot the Doogee logo is discretely, but clearly visible.
The battery cover is firmly attached to the front of the phone, so we advise careful removal so as not to damage the cover holders, although it is our opinion that they are flexible enough not to break quite so easily.
Upon cover removal you can see the blue 2400mAh battery, above which there are 2 SIM slots (both Micro-SIM sized), as well as the slot for a microSD memory card capacity up to 32GB. In order to access these slots, it is necessary to remove the battery from its setting.
The SIM slots are numbered 1 and 2, but that in no way determines which of the cards will be the primary one, since the user himself can choose which card to use for calling, messaging, surfing the mobile Internet (4G!), etc.
The phone’s surface looks impressive even though this is a budget phone. Yes, there are small traces of plastic injection near microUSB port opening and 3.5mm audio port, but it is barely noticeable and in no way diminishes the beauty of the phone. It is a pity that X5 Pro is missing the notification LED, since it would eliminate the need to turn the screen on in order to check for any missing calls or text messages.
DisplayDoogee X5 Pro comes with IPS 5.0” display with 720p resolution (1280x720 pixels). This makes it a very good choice for a screen of this diagonal, because the pixel density is high enough so that the image is as clear as it can be expected although there are phones with much higher resolution on today’s market. We have secretly feared that colors would seem washed out while the visibility angles would be narrow, but that is not the case at all in X5 Pro. Color intensity is fairly good, whilst image rendition stays the same until viewing in extremely sharp angles. The manufacturer states that the phone comes with Gorilla Glass display protection, but it remains untested in that aspect.
Screen reacts to the touch very well and it’s responsive in 2 points at the same time, that’s enough for most uses, including playing games. The only problem we noticed it’s that it reacts a bit unprecise when fingers are too close to each other, that makes a pinch-to-zoom gesture a bit difficult.
Back lighting can be very intense, which makes the displayed content visible even in direct sun.
SoftwareWhat is interesting is that Doogee X5 Pro comes with Android 5.1 (Lollipop) OS, which means the phone is adorned with both good hardware and optimized software. Software appearance and its functions do not differ excessively from Google source code, although there are certain additional phone setting functions offering further possibilities.
Android 5.1 has finally brought dual SIM native support, so manufacturers have no need to create their own solution to the “problem” of selecting SIM cards in lie with each situation. When a SIM-using app is run (Dialer, Messaging, Hangouts, etc.), notification menu displays the possibility to choose which SIM card will be used at that point. It is also possible to predetermine the use for each card, further simplifying the entire process.
It is possible to turn on certain gestures to facilitate phone use, such as flipping the phone onto the screen in order to silence ringing, answering a call by lifting the phone a bit more quickly, or simply switching to speakerphone and back by bringing the phone closer to the ear.
What is more, the phone has the option of turning on with a double display touch (Double-tap to Wake), sliding down on the screen while turned off in order to quickly run the camera, or writing on the screen to run apps like dialer, Internet browser, Play store, messenger, etc.
The “Visitor mode” solves the problem many have been dealing with since the appearance of mobile phones – denying access to certain parts of the phone. By activating this particular mode, you can hide call lists, SMS messages, pictures and disable modification of main screens on the phone. This is an excellent option to activate before lending your phone to a friend. However, in order to turn this option on and off, you need to enter your PIN.
Similar effect can be achieved by means of “AppLock” app, which does exactly what its name indicates – locks apps, and provides access upon entering the PIN.
Moreover, the proximity sensor also has certain phone management functions. By waving your hand above the sensor, you can scroll pictures, shuffle songs, take photos, change pages in launcher, unlock the phone and answer a call. As to how smart of an idea this is, we will let you decide.
More advanced users will like the built-in option of controlling app permissions (Permission Manager), which means that any app can be simply revoked the permission to dial, send messages, read location, access contacts, use camera, etc.
All in all, Doogee X5 Pro has left a favorable impression as far as OS and additional apps are concerned. Thanks to Android 5.1 OS, animations are beautiful and fluid, transition between apps is fast (for which large RAM memory can be credited, 2GB) and there wasn’t even an instance of unexplainable lag. With basic preinstalled apps installed, only 500MB RAM is occupied, thus leaving a lot of space for installing and multitasking between large numbers of apps.
CameraAs previously stated, Doogee X5 Pro on its back has a 5Mpix camera (interpolated to 8Mpix) with very limited possibilities, while on the front it carries a 2.0Mpix camera for video chats.
The 5Mpix camera has autofocus, LED flash and makes 2560x1920 pixel pictures without interpolation.
Camera sensor possibilities are quite poor. While colors are good in the daylight, it lacks detail even while taking photos with a steady hand. Photos seem good on the screen, but when zoomed to their original size, there is a visible lack of sharpness and “oil-on-canvass” effect. Photos of closer objects are satisfactory in sharpness, but most landscapes make you want to give up the sport. This is quite a shame, since the camera software has interesting options such as automatic photographing by lifting 2 fingers in the shot, automatized following of an object and taking its picture, recording “live” (making a 5-second long video with a photographing effect) and the Face beauty mode, which removes skin imperfections and makes you more pretty (the fare sex loves this option in Samsung phones).
Photo samples:
Battery LifeDoogee X5 Pro comes with a 2400mAh battery, which is enough capacity to allow the phone one-day autonomy with more intensive use. Seeing how the processor is economical and works on lower frequency, battery consumption is moderate. We have measured its autonomy by inserting 2 SIM cards into the phone (one in the 3G/4G mode and the other in the 2G mode) and running synthetic tests, making a few shorter phone calls (about 20 minutes in total), taking pictures outside for about an hour and a half (during which time mobile Internet was active), testing its speed of access to the 4G network, and then surfing the Internet using WiFi connection.
During all that, the screen was on for 4 hours and 30 minutes, while the phone was off the charger for 30 hours! We believe this to be an excellent score considering all this phone’s features.
PerformanceDoogee X5 Pro is based on MediaTek MT6735 64-bit chipset which is increasingly present in lower-middle class models. MT6735 has a Quad-Core processor at 1GHz (988MHz, to be more precise), Mali-T720 graphic chip and 2GB of built-in RAM memory.
The processor is probably intentionally limited to lower frequency instead its maximum (1.3GHz) in order to provide a better battery autonomy, since it has proven to be quite economical and still powerful enough for most users’ needs. Judging by synthetic tests, MT6735 chipset at 1GHz frequency performs in the rank of Snapdragon 400 chipset and its Quad-Core processor, which is an excellent trait considering the price of X5 Pro phone.
It also has built-in USB OTG option, so it is possible to connect USB flash drive or USB mouse or keyboard directly to the phone using USB OTG adapter.
Obtaining GPS location on this phone is quick and precise, since it easily finds a large number of satellites and connects to most of them in 30 seconds. Therefore, it can definitely be used as GPS navigation with matching navigation software.
Benchmark tests results:
ConclusionDoogee X5 Pro is a smart phone which has suddenly appeared on the market and attracted a lot of attention with its surreal hardware for a good price. Its IPS display with wide visibility angles and quality rendition will allow undisturbed use in all conditions, while its work speed will satisfy all less and moderately demanding users. If you want an affordable smartphone and you can look past a few smaller cons, there is no reason to be apprehensive – you should definitely take the X5 Pro model into consideration as best buy in the lower price range!
Pros:
Good quality display
Fast response
4G LTE support
Powerful speaker
Cons:
No notification LED
Capacitive buttons unlit
No gyroscope and g-sensor
Once more, big thanks to Pandawill for providing a sample device for testing.

DOOGEE X5 Pro Smartphone Unboxing & Hands-on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbfOhhMnCoM
Great review, thanks.
Could it be possible to overclock the CPU to 1.3 GHz when the device is rooted?
I saw one review (here) that had an Antutu benchmark of around 30000. It is an early review (August 30th), so perhaps it was an early demo phone that was clocked higher?
You're welcome.
I think it can't be overclocked. Not with the stock kernel, anyway. To phone runs cool, even with the maximum CPU load (about 30C), so I do think the CPU has potential to withstand OC to ~1.2GHz, but there isn't a way at the moment.
As I detailed in this now closed thread, I am unable to get this phone to operate at anything faster than 2G network speeds. The specs of this phone would appear to keep it out of the 4G (or even 3G) range for AT&T in the USA, and indeed, most every other USA carrier I'm aware of. Such a sadness because this is really a nice phone at such a good price.
Excellent phone
Ive had this phone for about 3 weeks now.
Its an awesome phone for the money.
Im not a fan of how branded companies charge huge profit margins like HTC and samsung.
This phone has all I need.
It has 3G and 4G LTE which work great in my country (New Zealand).
In fact the antenna is very strong compared to my old samsung.
The camera is fine for me at 5MP, the autofocus works well and ive been able to take some really nice pics, better than the ones in the review above. Closeups are excellent. If you hold down the shutter button you get something like 6 to 7 shots per second which are then saved as a progression of pics that are then viewable in gallery as a kind of gif animation with each frame been able to be used as a photo. Theres tons of features built in. I really like that no tweaking is needed out of the box.
I installed Hola launcher as I just like its style, its faster than stock launcher and organizes apps into easy folders and it has built in weather and intuitive interface that works really well with this phone.
Ive always bought phones with hardware buttons. I cant stand phones with on screen buttons. It just takes away from everything.
So much nicer having real buttons.
Im happy there is no notification LED. This used to annoy me on my samsung and my smart 4 especially at night time I dont like any flashing LEDS in my room when im sleeping.
Double tap to wake up is nice and also useful when i have it on my car bracket.
Only cons so far are that OTG doesnt seem to work currently. Im guessing the phone needs to be rooted to use that feature and as others have noted there doesnt appear to be an easy root method as yet.
its a shame it doesnt have gyro because my google cardboard isnt much use, but i guess i can still watch 3d movies with it.
Hey.. good news.. looks like KIngroot have updated their app because I just opened kingroot and it says 92 requests received and a strategy is been worked out, which is better than last week. I will try to root manually anyway today. Id really like OTG access.

OTG works fine for me. I'm just using a bog-standard OTG adapter and a FAT32-formatted USB thumbdrive.
I'm still looking forward to a working root though.

Doesn't work if you have already updated via wireless update.
Phone won't accept the update.zip I you've updated already.
Only via factory reset first. That's our problem.
I stick with a R5 because of rooting problems above that Version.
Ok
OK good to know.. Don't need root at this stage as otg is working now.. Phones still fast so no major advnatge to root for me at present..

Really?
I'm on DOOGEE-X5pro-Android5.1-R08-2015.10.26 and root worked fine.
I had two updates applied from when I received my phone.
Good news, did you had to root again after update?
I rooted for the first time after applying all the updates. Only recently made sense of the rooting thread! Don't know if it'll create problems if there's another update, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

How did you do to root?
I have R08-2015.10.26 but I am unable to root (install supersu)
I followed the procedure of wireless update → select update.zip and click ok. When the phone reboot, it start the install but stops and show "error".

NO!
X5 Pro is cheap.. cpu quad core bad performance, low price camera 5Mpixel..
V5 M808 M560 wins in all points!
I own the Infocus V5 already. I am very surprised with it.
Only: at this time i can´t find a twrp-Recovery, a proved tool to root it, also i´ve found no stock rom for it.
But its a very amazing phone, no lags, perfect GPS, WIFI, Camera is - for the price - amazing. Display is nearly perfect.

Yeah, i agree.
I'm trying to build twrp from stock rom (extracted, but incomplete).
Stock rom is in proprietary format, available using google and search for infocus m808 stock rom.
Btw is not possible to enter t stock recovery with keys at boot, so twrp may be useless also if i could compile it.
I have to test with adb command to enter recovery.. I will update soon

Eh eh, clever guy!
I have ordered one of this, should arrive in a few days, then i try it.
Normally, for mtk phones i use this procedure... i root the phone with tools like root genius or similar then i make backup with sp flash tool.
After this i replace the backed up recovery with the founded one .
Obviously that procedure won't work if cannot root the phone (but for now it always worked for several times and several phones).
I'll let you know when phone comes.
My Unboxing & Video Review (ITALIAN LANGUAGE):
Mod edit by @Darth : selling site mention and video removed. Not on Xda please .
TWRP mentioned before works, but it's in chinese (better than nothing). I successfully flashed it and root package (works too).
I cannot make backup because mtk droid tools doesn't work with 64 bit mediateks so i don't feel confident to flash whole rom (brick).
Ah, to enter in recovery must connect charge cable and press power+ vol+.
Review Infocus V5 M808/M560
Package, Content, Aesthetics
The packaging is a classic white parallelepiped but that even minimal reports the nice Infocus mark on the front and the characteristics of the V5 on the back.
Box contents: Smartphone wrapped in its protective plastic, 1 Power Adapter with USB socket US 5V 1A White, 1 USB cable, a small instruction manual, a clip for sim compartment extraction and EU plug adapter.
- External dimensions of the smartphone in the middle of the 5.2 "screen with buttons; it measures 147.5 x 73 x 7.5 mm for a little over weight 150g.
- High-quality construction, the materials are able to give a good feeling to the touch, the aluminum body looks good quality and treatment, nice finishes and especially the back (partly resembles the nexus 6p and partly for Iphone 6 ) ..
- On the left side we find the volume rocker down and the power button slightly higher; on the right side we find the buggy for the two sim (1 or 2 Micro SIM Micro Sim Micro SD).
- On the upper side we find the audio jack on the bottom we find the micro USB socket, the main microphone and the speaker in the right (the left has a slit but no speaker inside).
- In the back in a tight top on the left we find the camera 13 megapixel f / 2 Omnivision OV13850 f / 2 on the side accompanied by LED flash and moments from the second microphone for noise suppression.
- On the front we find at the top the capsule headset, the camera 5Mpixel f / 2.8 Omnivision OV5670, the RGB notification LED and the brightness / proximity sensors.
- The soft touch buttons around the screen and are customizable by location and notifications button added into the phenomena settings.
- Outer pane that is not equipped with pre-applied film, excellent smoothness of the glass, there are no treatments 2.5d on the edges and there is a minimal treatment oleophobic (not excellent, but at least it shows).
- Display brightness and good viewing angles; LCD Full HD IPS screen which gives a very good colors, excellent sharpness for the category, good white balance even if it prefers shade slightly cool shades; you can still operate via the display menu to retouch certain parameters and to activate or not the function to eliminate the blue radiation of the screens through variation of color tones.
- Touch excellent and comes with multitouch to 10 touches, quick writing and with Swype function that typing with two fingers (used keyboard SwiftKey 6)
- Two Nano Sim slot: This 4G with bands 1,3,7 ... it lacks the 800Mhz band 20 widely used in Italy!
- Presence separate MicroSD slot with head capacity up to 128Gb.
- Battery is not removable from 2450mAh declared, to the test with ammeter we found about 2400mAh, which allow coverage of the day without any problems.
- Android 5.1 with stock rom December 2015.
- Open app and switching between apps very quickly .. Chrome browser pre-installed which is very satisfying to use and that makes navigation very fast.
- Fair management of internal rom 16Gb which are available in a partition to 10.8Gb for apps and data; in this case the system partition from over 3Gb removes available space for the App, which however in the presence of SD may be moved, where permitted, on the micro sd.
- Good management 2Gb ram by the system .. Approximately 1.2GB of RAM left over after loading some apps into memory at startup.
Connectivity:
WiFi b / g / n with no problem, stable coupling, good power and a preliminary check appears to present the 5Ghz band (I could not try with my modem, since it does not support it).
BT 4 tested coupling with headphones, smartwatch, car and other smartphones without problems
OTG: Fully Working
GPS: very good, the outside is cold fixato in 15 seconds, 18 satellites, with an accuracy of a few meters; Glonass compatibility
Camera:
- Main camera Omnivision 13Mpixel f / 2 that produces good shots in daylight; good focus; camera interface stock mediatek with some graphical changes to the snap buttons and video, but it does not change much ... if you want you can rely on Google apps such as Camera or the great paid app FV-5 Chamber.
- Good video performance with FullHD file with 3GP and MP4 format with room stock with other cameras
- Second Camera for Selfies 5Mpixel f / 2.4 with autofocus and face detection function, shots and decent video.

Audio:
Good sound quality, good the speaker volume and earbud, the other party has no problem and feel the item is free from noise or interference or metallic effect, excellent implementation of the NXP Smart Amp sound module devoted to improving the audio quality general.
Good also the second microphone to suppress environmental noises when using smartphone in noisy environments.
the speaker position that does not suffer from sound attenuation problems if we usually place the smartphone on the table.
Good vibrations and sound in the headphones, FM radio with RDS properly implemented.
Conclusion:
Pros:
- Exceptional price of about € 100 from China and 130 € for a dall'Europs Octa Core 5.2 "FHD 2Gb ram and 16Gb quality rom.
- Two real Nano Sim slot.
- Ram 2Gb with over 1.2GB free and Roma with free 10,8Gb, fluid system and snappy, very high speed for the internal memory> 130MB / sec.
- Very good FHD display, good color and viewing angle .. tending to slightly cooler colors but also the display optimization also with various settings for the elimination of blue light emitted from the smartphone panels !.
- Great and responsive touch with 10 points defined.
- Good signal reception and excellent audio sector, much higher than the average of cinafonini .. and considered the price .. even more to report !.
- Led RGB notification.
- Good Omnivision camera 13mp OV13850 f / 2 offering good shots of the day; can definitely improve using other camera app.
- Not bad also the front 5Mpixel 5MP camera OV5670.
- Great design, as well as very thin and quite ergonomic.
- Great audio segment with two microphones and good call quality, much higher than the average of cinafonini .. and considered the price .. even more to report !.
- Volume ringtones, media and separate notifications .. great plus
- GPS with GLONASS, very precise and fast in engaging, Compass and Gyroscope present .. amazing supplied if we think of belonging end !.
- Permission management app, whitelist app in the background, dialers with blacklists and ringtones separate settings for each sim!
- Excellent speaker position if you listen to music with the phone resting on a desk.
- Radio FM.
- Micro SD support up to 128b (tested) with ability to set the same for app navigation.
- Root already possible with TWRP recovery already available.
Cons:
- Lack of band 20 to 800Mhz on 4G .. which cripples much of the smartphone in Italy, as well as Wind (for which it is crucial the band 20 to 800 MHz for 4G) other professionals in various areas of Italy use this band for the 4G connection. You could always go to 3G everywhere, but it should be reported as a weak point.
- Parts of the menu and basic applications in English language (nothing insurmountable anyway)
- Instead of single stereo speaker (there are two openings, but only the right one is with the speaker)
- All physical buttons on the left side (not like on that side, I find them uncomfortable).
- Soft keys touch screen that obviously take useful space.
- Lack of double tap to turn on the screen and gestures to screen off.
- Power supply and charging circuit not quick charge .. the power supply is 1A / h and it takes about 3 hours from 0 to 100% (off).
- Battery is not removable.
- EU plug adapter supplied by the shop and as always, proves very cheap and dancer (I recommend to insulate it well to US plug so that solidarity remains when switched on and off the socket).

Recovery Screenshots
Based on the WW (WorldWide) ROM not IN (India) or TW (Tiawain)
1. Copy the SuperSU.zip to your /sdcard
2. Flash the recovery with SPFlashtools (If you don't know what this is or how to use it use google search)
3. Use ADB to boot to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
(If you don't know what this is or how to use it use google search)
4. Swipe to Allow TWRP to Modify /system
5. Flash the SuperSU.zip (Warning Do not use the built in TWRP SuperSU or the phone will bootloop)
6. Allow update of SuperSU and binary if asked.
7. Install Quick Reboot (Root) HERE
8. Enjoy
Files SuperSU.zip, scatter and twrp-recovery.img in the zip Here Mega Drive Infocus.zip
NOTE: The scatter file is Handmade by me and is not a factory one as I have not seen one yet!! Not all of partitions for Readback have been tested although boot.img recovery.img and system.img all work fine which should be enough to get most out of trouble. :laugh: Use the attached scatter file
EDIT: Factory Scatter Attached thanks to OP for the info. :good:
Thanks bigrammy, good work!
For the scatter file, i extracted original one from stock rom and you can find it in my twrp 2.8.7 porting in the first post.
Thanks to hanuma!

Hi bro,
That would've saved me a lot of work had I seen your scatter file first. :crying: :laugh:
PS: Does anyone have 5ghz WiFi working or is it not supported
Other than that very nice Phone and ROM.
Wifi
Just for info:
I sent an email to Infocus support asking about 5ghz wifi and LTE Band 20 and this is their very short reply.
Dear Sir
m808 does not support the WIFI 5g, does not support LTE Band 20 (800mhz) Thank you.

As we know CPU does support Dual Band WiFi 2.4ghz and 5ghz also LTE Band 20 so It seems likely it's a licensing issue rather than a hardware one.
Although Many on this SoC do report Wifi issues so maybe infocus dropped the 5ghz for stability.
I will do some more research and ask them for the Kernel source code.

working on my M560
Hi guys. I was wondering here, can anybody port MIUI 7 to the InFocus M560? I found a GUIDE here in XDA Developers, but it looks very hard to do the process.
Hi,
in this thread we can talk about new model from Oukitel, it is about K6000 Pro. Most important is that they have put much greater attention to the quality of the phone, also it has much more powerful hardware than the previous model like 3GB of RAM. but certainly the most important feature is the high capacity battery with 6000 mAh capacity.

My Unboxing & First Look (Italian Language comment)
In Cons i can add:
- No backlighted soft touch keys
- No 64 bit Android version
- Usb connector is a bit deeper inside tge frame, so standard cables couldn't works well with quick charge or data transfer
- No Compass and No Gyro

nice reviews people
Camera has a very poor perfomance. Rom is 32 bits (seems a port of 5.1 K6000 rom).
I have mine for two weeks.
I think that K6000 'original' runs better.
mine arrived yesterday: great build overall but as first impression it becomes really hot when you try to play at games
Camera color shift
Hi, please, I would like to ask you shortly. Camera on my Oukitel K6000 Pro has some kind of issue. As well as on my Bluboo Xtouch, it shows some color deviation aroud the borders of taken image. At specific circumstances in the middle, there is the circle which looks to represent colors correctly and outside of that circle the color is shifted to blue. Both phones behaves the same. In some cases its not that visible, in some its dramatic. Im not sure whether its fault of some picture profiles/scene profiles, or its fault of optical elements. .
Then, the display color is pretty cold. It would deserve some correction. Can I somehow tweak it? Calibrate it to look more natural. Or can you suggest some color correction app with low battery drain?
Otherwise I am very satisfied and pleased by the phone. Really balanced in allways, well constructed phone.
Thank you for help guys.
Mike
I have just figured out that there is an earlier K6000 Pro thread on XDA, so please use that one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen.../oukitel-battery-beasts-k6000-k10000-t3279075
@Lt_Columbo_87 @megthebest @X61 : if possible, please move your review on that other thread, so that this thread can be closed and all information merged in a single, and complete, thread. Thank you

You can buy them from Aliexpress. :good:
I have used K6000 Pro too, but it seems that the camera is not working well when the flash is on, is this happens on any other people too?

Have you fixed the wifi bug? I am on the latest rom and noted the wifi was always running. The issue is with background scanning. If you have background scanning on and turn wifi off, wifi never actually stops running. All you need to do is disable background scanning on the wifi page and you will be good to go.
low score
the score from Antutu is too low, looks like the performace will not good. Just hear that bluboo release a new phone Maya max, which looks great, and im looking forward to try it.
One question
Anybody can please tell me if long pressing the home butto bnrings to google now and if the function "now on tap" works?
Thanks
How to show open apps in oukitel k6000 pro?
Hi guys,
I just purchased this phone and it actually blew away my expectations with such low price and all nice features incl huge battery. Pokemon Go apps known to drain battery pretty fast but this phone can hold it very well. I don't need to charge for entire day.
Now to the issue. My old phone is Samsung Galaxy S4. Now if I wish to switch from apps to apps just like tab button in laptop/PC, I simply press home button for 2 seconds and it will show all open apps. I simply choose the apps I want to jump to and walla! it opened. Now the same result can't be achieved with Oukitel K6000 pro. Pressing home button longer simply bring me to google search.
Question is how to show open apps and switch between opened apps in this phone? Do we have luxury in setting the function of buttons to our liking?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Ricky
