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

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.
Hi,
Sorry but at this time i do not have the original firmware...

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...

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.
I will provide you with the first review about Xiaomi Redmi 3 since the last version, xiaomi redmi 2. It's a very competitive smartphone in view of design, performance, and price. Therefore, majority of users are attracted by this one.

Xiaomi Redmi 3 uses a 5-inch IPS screen
Appearance seems not to be accepted
Xiaomi Redmi 3 change more significantly in appearance than the previous generation models , from 4.7-inch screen sizes up to 5 inches. Xiaomi Redmi 3 has 139.3*69.6*8.5mm dimension and weigh 143.5g, compared to red mi2 with 134*67.2*9.4mm size and weight of 133g, Redmi 3 screen size not only affects the grip, but also successfully "lose weight", thickness of the fuselage has been noticeably reduced.
Front ID doesn't change much in its style
It's a little regretful that three keys haven't backlight.
Redmi 3 uses a 5-inch IPS screen, using the OGS technology, resolution 1280* 720P, to tell the truth , this screen appears quite satisfactory as a whole, but it supports the Sun screens, luminous screen, eye pattern, etc of course, have brought the much improvement of users' experience. according to the xiaomi popularized version;
5 inch screen size means better gripping.
On the back of the mobile phone, Redmi 3 should be the most controversial, which called "exposure" techniques,Xiaomi said this kind of tech has been applied into apple logo of the back and 'iphone' in iPhone 5, which is characterized by the pattern without stamping, etching of the fault. So do you like this pattern?
A big change in camera position
Speakers are still in the bottom
Redmi 3 is used metal material in the middle of back cover, hand feeling is good to the touch, in order to ensure the signal, on the top and bottom uses plastic material, but seam technology is good, and it does not give the feeling of assassination.
Camera always is designed on the middle back on the previous Redmi series, but this Redmi 3 has been put on the top left of the back with narrow size, and the speaker has not change at the bottom.
Top of the fuselage with an infra-red transmitter
The interface in the bottom is in the middle of the fuselage
There is the other an infra-red transmitter on the top of Redmi 3 in addition to the headphone jack and outside noise-reducing microphone, and the system has also been installed the remote control, this point will not increase costs, but it does allow users to get a lot of benefits. At the bottom is a microUSB interface and microphone , volume key and power key at the right side of the fuselage, because of the sleek fuselages, so is the card slot on the left side of the fuselage.
Card slot design using a compatible microSD card
Redmi 3 is a CNC machine, and only this version, mobile, Unicom, Telecom 2G/3G/4G network are compatible. And Redmi 3 card slot use a combination of micro SIM card +Nano SIM card, nanoSIM card slot also supports microSD expansion. As for battery capacity, it's the biggest highlight, this handset uses a piece of the battery capacity reaching 4100mAh, considering the hardware performance and screen size and other factors, so that capacity for most people for 2 days of regular use will be no problem, overusing-users can also use a day. Compared with Redmi 2, redmi 3 has only added to the weight of the 10G, body thickness reduced to the 8.5mm, the gripping has not been affected because of increased battery capacity.
MIUI 7.1 for new version
Last week, Xiaomi will almost update its products to MUI 7.1 version, and xiaomi redmi 3 also used MIUI 7.1, in fact, xiaomi will not take this way to name, because updating too fast will not let the user defect, they just update some important function integrated into a small version to update, in order to let the users know the main features. Of course, MIUI 7.1 OS is based on Android5.1, which provide more fluency.
Support PDAF 13 million pixels camera
In terms of photo, redmi 3 increase largely, starting with the most intuitive pixels, Redmi 3 uses 5 million + 13 million pixels camera, 5P group, f/2.0 apertures, supporting PDAF phases focus, both in terms of pixels, and aperture and focus, redmi 3 has been significantly improved.
Redmi 3 real photos
For example:
In actual Imaging aspects, redmi 3 also has performed greatly , first is in analytical ability, whick leads to 8 million upgraded to 13 million, and good performance in details also should appreciate aperture aspects , actually redmi 3 in performance of white balance aspects lets people surprised, especailly perform real colors in the light shooting.
Snapdragon 616 Octa core processor
In terms of hardware configurations, redmi 3 is powered by Snapdragon 616 Octa core processor,which uses a senior + small quad-core design, frequency up to 1.5GHz, Adreno 405 integrated graphics processor, using 2GB RAM+16GB ROM memory combinations.
Conclusion
In the appearance section, I believe redmi 3 is a very controversial model, but on the overall experience, hardware configuration, and redmi 3 is a very attractive model. And compared with Redmi 2, redmi 3 is not a follow-up model without any change, but enough improvement such as Netcom, 4100mAh battery, etc. Xiaomi Redmi 3 is a real killer with affordable price right now.
Any one wants to have a try?
I'm interested redmi 3. Please, any info will be much appreciated.

Xiaomi Redmi 3 Teardown Analysis
Its latest phone, the Xiaomi Redmi 3, aims to fix both issues: It's a 5-inch Android phone with a 4,100 milliamp-hour (mAh) battery — unheard of in its size class, here is the teardown analysis.
What phone do you suggest for the future? I'm disappointed with Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB, bad materials, bad support, ridiculous battery life and bad space management (phone is too big).
My priority are battery (not necessary a battery phone, but at least 6-7 hours of display), good camera (I want support for real slow motion, not the ZF2 one ) , good design (I would prefer a 5-5.2") and good software support.
My budget is 400€ and I need phones that I can found on Amazon (so don't suggest me phones like OP3 that are on Amazon at 100€ more).
Thanks
I was thinking about ZUK Z2 & Z2 Pro as my next phone after ZF2. Generally because it's smaller than 5.5" and probably should have similar performance.
This choice is made based on specifications from the web. I still need to check some reviews for this phone.
Maybe someone can say anything about this phone?
Or Galaxy S8 Edge + Gear Vr,, or nothing

The problem is that these phones like Zuk, Xiaomi and these "not top" brands, are not selling officially in Italy and they don't support 800Mhz (band 20) for 4G LTE, used a lot here, expecially where I live and with my carrier..so I need a "more european" brand, to have full 4G support.
I am thinking of the 5.5 inch Zenfone 3. I have been very happy with my ze551ml.

P9000 is not really better than ZF2, at least the 4 Gb version (unless you're badly looking for a fingerprint unlockable phone).
I used a P8000 before and although it's a nice phone, Mediatek processors are less powerful than other manufacturers' equivalent cpu's. If you take Antutu Benchmark as a reference (yes, we all know it can be faked, but it serves its purpose as a reference, and a way to compare two phones) P9000 scores between 45k and 47k, while my ZF2, which is the 1.8 Ghz version, scores between 55k and 57k. P9000 wouldn't be such a step forward, unless your ZF2 is broken beyond repair.
I'd stick to ZF2 until something significantly more powerful and affordable comes around. I've already seen some 6 Gb RAM phones, also with 128 Gb storage, but definitely not in the same price range as the ZF2.

I'll not purchase ASUS anymore period.
I replace it with an Galaxy S7 duos (flat screen version), cost near twice but it's the best android phone available despite Pixel XL hype, the S7 is the fastest water proof dual sim better display, much smaller than the asus and pixel XL, features Knox and multitasking and Samsung voice recognition its available in Spanish and while not as funny as the assistant does very well when I'm driving, also read messages and emails features not available in Spanish from Google asistant o now. Ahh the S7 also includes HR sensor and wireless charging and cost 300 less than a pixel XL.
I can't find one with better specs than the Zenfone 2 and with the ability to use two sim cards and an sd card at the same time .

Yea there are, the Moto G4 has a dual sim version I don't know if can use the sd slot the same time but includes 64 internal storage android 7 and 0 bloat.
I don't use the sd slot often with 32gb its far enough to me even I have 3 games and 10gb+ in mp3, and when I need video for long trips I just plug an mini otg-usb pendrive.
But there is an mod for the S7 that allows simultaneously use the SD and two sim but implies devastating one sim that can't be uses on other phone anymore.

Moto G4 plus Google says 4GB only on sale via Amazon in the UK checking Amazon I'm finding 3GB at £245 so when the 4GB version is out I'm thinking it will probably be north of £300.

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.
