On UMI ZERO 2's facebook page we can now see a picture showing “Duplex Life, the best from UMI”.
• What does duplex life mean? A dual-screen phone? I remember the first dual-screen phone was from Yota phone2, where one screen is made by Samsung and the back side has an EPD screen.
• The EPD screen is using E ink technology. If you look at Kindle from Amazon, then you will know how the screen looks like.
• The thing with this screen is that it will be perfectly readable even in the brightest sunshine: Fiction, Facebook, Twitter, news, RSS-feeds, blogs, mail, messaging etc.
• All in all, it’s likely that UMI ZERO 2 going to be the world’s second dual-screen smartphone made with EPD. And it seems that UMI will continue with a SAMSUNG display after the first UMI ZERO.
• The official retail price is still unknown, but could get high.
PS. This is an very early engineering sample, it seems that this one still doesn't have the dual display!

UMI Zero 2 To Feature 4GB of RAM & Helio X20?
Although we had heard a few rumors about the upcoming UMI Zero flagship a few weeks back, recently, there hasn't been much news about this device. However, earlier today, we came across another piece of information about the UMI Zero 2 flagship. It is said that the device will come with 4GB of RAM on board, which if true, will be a first for a UMI smartphone.
In fact, even today, there aren't many 4GB RAM phones in the market. If this does turn out to be true, UMI will join the ranks of the few premium smartphone makers who have released such a device. This much amount of RAM means you no longer have to worry about lag during multi-tasking as it will handle any task thrown at it with ease.
As for the processor, the UMI Zero 2 will reportedly come with a Helio X series chipset. Given that the company is adding 4GB RAM inside, its likely that the phone will feature the deca-core Helio X20 chipset for maximum performance. However, this may drive up the cost unnecessarily, and hence, the company may decide to settle with the MT6795 Helio X10 octa-core chip. Even this processor is quite capable of powering flagship devices, so it won't be disappointing to see it inside the Zero 2.
UMI seems to be making a smart decision by using the Helio X series processor instead of Snapdragon 810. Despite the claims from Qualcomm, Snapdragon 810 is still believed to overheat when used for a long time. As a result, this chip has often been the target of consumer criticism. So, using the powerful Helio X series chip (either X10 or X20) seems to be the right decision at the moment.
As per the previous rumors, UMI could be working on two variants of the flagship UMI Zero 2, one with the dual display and another with a real leather back cover, like the one on the LG G4. The phone will reportedly come with a 5.2-inch QHD panel, 20MP camera and the new USB Type-C port.
Unfortunately, we have no further information about the UMI Zero 2 at the moment, but we will keep you guys updated with new details in the coming weeks.

I'm planning to buy this phone, is there any weakness i should know before?

Looks great!

UMI ZERO 2 will come with premium Liquid metal body‏
We have been hearing a lot about the upcoming UMi Zero 2 flagship. The latest information on the handset says that the phone will feature 4GB of RAM, which will make it the first such device from the company till date. While the specs are turning out to be quite impressive so far, earlier today we came across some new information about this upcoming handset. And it’s quite interesting too.
According to the latest rumors, the UMi Zero 2 will come with a premium Liquid Metal body. I am sure you would have heard of this alloy which is reportedly tougher than any other material used for a smartphone housing. Its extreme durability and strength has made this alloy quite popular. In fact, Apple has been using the same Liquid Metal for some of its small components. Even though its been years since we first heard about this alloy, smartphones have not yet used this material on a wide scale. In fact, only the Turning Phone can boast of featuring a Liquid Metal body till now. So, it would really be surprising to see a local Chinese manufacturer like UMi use this material for its own device.
Of course, nothing is confirmed so far, so its still very early to make conclusions about the phone's body. Even if the phone doesn't come with Liquid Metal body, other specifications are sure to impress the masses, especially when priced right. Let’s wait for more information about the UMi Zero 2 which should hopefully debut sometime before the end of this year.

Ulefone Be Touch 2 and Paris Updates Have Come
Hey, guys
Good News! We released the newest updates for Ulefone Be Touch 2 yesterday and we hope that the fast draining problem, which has confused so many users for so long, will be solved once for all. In fact, we have been devoted in the solution of this problem since we received the first user feedback about it. But the degree of difficulty exceeded our expectations and forced us to postpone the date of release again and again. Now we are finally able to publish a new version of software after numerous revisions and tests. Hope this time we will not disappoint you.
We also made some other changes over the ROM and the following is the change log for the 20151012 version:
1. Improve battery life by optimizing battery consumption and indication.
2. Lift max volume in earpiece.
3. Add U-launcher which can be applied under “Home” settings.
4. Add U-browser.
5. Delete Ulefone website and facebook page from app drawer.
Tip: Please fully charge and drain the battery two times after installation for the new software to record a complete drainage curve.
To our fans who have just received your Ulefone Paris, please go to Settings – About Phone – Wireless updates and you’ll find new version of software, too. It’s 20150929 to be specific which contains some minor optimization.
1. Improve battery consumption during standby.
2.Hide U-launcher related apps in Android 5.1 stock launcher.
In the coming month, we plan to publish 2 more software versions for Ulefone Paris. We believe we’ll be able to rebuild Ulefone to the best 5-inch device ever.

HomTom HT7 Pro HD_MTK6735_2GB/16GB (Review/ROM/Recoveries/Discussion)

Hey guys... Here is my another real review of cost effective (Just US$80) smartphone HOMTOM HT7 Pro. It is an amazing camera phone which I am sure you guys fall in love with this price range device. ​

After 2 days of extensive use of this device I will give 9.5 out of 10 points for this camera. For very little price you will get a good specified device which runs on MTK6735 1.3 GHz Quad Core Processor with 2GB Ram/16GB ROM and HD 720x1280 pixel 5.5 Inch IPS, G+F lamination screen . The front camera is 2.0 Mega Pixel (interpolation 5.0MP) and rear camera is 8.0MegaPixel (interpolation 13.0MP) with flashlight and auto focus. It is included by massive 3000 mAh battery which can easily take out your day.
On the front side, top is equipped by a 2.0 MP camera alongside sensors, led notification light and on the down, capacitive touch buttons. The back side of the device is made of plastic (brushed metallic finish which gives a premium look), top equipped with 8.0 MP camera with flash light and at the bottom "HOMTOM" logo printed.
The frame is made of Aluminium metal which gives a nice look in this price range. The volume rockers and power buttons are place on left side of the device (trend is right side). Bottom is equipped with two speaker grills (one is just for symmetry) with normal USB point and a 2.5 mm jack hole on the top.
HOMTOM HT7 Pro runs on Android 5.1 lollipop version with near stock vanilla AOSP. You will get approx 11 GB out of 16 GB ROM usable and almost 1 GB free RAM always which makes this device faster and smoother. I had played ASPHALT 8 game and it was buttery smooth.
On the Antutu Bench mark it scored 24735 and Geekbench 487 on single core / 1392 multi core. The screen is 5 point touch screen and only Accelerometer, Light and Proximity sensors are supported. It comes with some pre-installed apps like Applock, Bagan Myanmar and Go keyboards. It support FM Radio and you need an earphone to use as antenna.
Sample Photographs snapped by HT7 Pro :
Its dual sim LTE device and also support SD card upto 128 GB. Expecting more..................... think again Overall it is a cheap and best smartphone under US$80 price tag.
More about Homtom HT7 Pro : Mod Edit by @Darth : Link removed for promoting selling sites. Not on XDA thanks!

I have this phone and the camera is quite good. But it's far from being a camera phone - te macro is not good at all and the focus is not very fast(not bad also).
The battery is nothing special.

REVIEW:
The Doogee Shoot 2 provides customers with a very interesting value proposition, being the cheapest phone on the market with a dual rear facing camera set up., and boasting premium features like fingerprint unlocking.
The box came with a usb cable, a charger with an Asian 220V plug, and of course the phone. I have tonnes of chargers from my old phones, so the Chinese charger wasn't too big of an issue for me.

The phone itself has a pretty hefty feel, weighing in at 178 g. It has a 5" 720p displa, with the 3.5 mm earphone jack and micro usb port on the top. On the bottom of the phone, it has some holes for the sound to come out. The phone has a fingerprint sensitive home button on the bottom bezel, and a power and volume button on the right side of the phone. The SIM and SD card slot is under the back cover. Overall the device has a good design and feels good in the hand.
The phone runs Android 7.0, and the set up in the beginning was a little troublesome. It was kind of slow and restarted on me. Maybe because the variant I had was the 1 GB RAM variant, and that the problem won't happen with the 2 GB RAM variant. But after the initial set up, and especially after the software update, the phone was much snappier. The phone comes with a little bloatware, as expected from pretty much all manufacturers, but overall the phone still was able to mostly retain the stock android feel. The feel was snappy, and there was no lag. For those who don't like the default launcher, of course you can install a 3rd party launcher (I did Nova Launcher), and replace all the 3rd party apps with apps of your choice. The fingerprint sensor did as it was supposed to, and I had no issues unlocking with my fingerprint, being able to unlock in about a second.
Antutu Benchmarks scored it at 22877, which is as fast as a Moto G3 3rd Gen at 23258.
The 5" screen is very bright, and watching YouTube was fine. The speakers are more than adequately loud as well. Definitely the area where Doogee spent the most time on was the camera app that comes included with the phone. It has tonnes of modes and options for camera enthusiasts to play around with, like ISO, exposure, white balance, etc. The app also has a dedicated Bokeh mode to really take advantage of the dual 5 mp camera lenses. It also boasts a 2x optical zoom, just like what the iPhone 7 Plus has. Truly, the dual lens camera is the highlight feature of the phone.
Last but not least is the battery life. It's phenomenal. With the standby intelligent power saving mode on, I can get about 3 days out of it if I don't touch my phone. Even with moderate usage, I can get a day out of it no problem. That's because it has a 3360 mAh battery. Paired with a screen with 720p resolution, that means the Shoot 2 can last much longer on a battery of this size compared with a Samsung S8, with it's 1440p screen.
Overall this is a great entry level phone, designed especially for those who want to snap some great photos without having to fork over hundreds for the higher end phones. Other than the hiccup during the initial set up, there were no issues with the phone at all, and from the time I got the phone and wrote the review, there were 2 OTA updates available for the phone. I look forward to the continued support from Doogee to keep this phone up to date.
