Ulefone Power (Real Reviews & Discussion) 6050mAh, 5.5", Fingerprint ID, MTK6753
Full UNBOXING video
Camera & 3D Gaming Review
Full Complete IN-DEPTH Review
In this video I show you some Ulefone Power camera samples & a video clip (1:23). I also compare some few pictures with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (00:18), so you can get an idea about the quality. The original HQ pictures can be found here: http://mediafire.com/folder/96gyk9onaa0n5/Ulefone_Power_Camera_Samples
(1:57) Part two in the video is all about gaming on the Ulefone Power. I test 8 different light & heavy 3D games and show you how they perform on the phone. I test Real Racing 3, Need For Speed, Modern Combat 5, Asphalt 8 and others.
(12:13) Part three, I show you the AnTuTu score with AnTuTu version 6.0 and the very dimmed backlight in the touch buttons (12:20), close-up so you can see it.
More Ulefone Power videos here:

Known problems so far? (24/1 2016)
Asphalt 8 is only running with software rendering. So far the only 3D game that has a problem with the phone. Other games like Modern Combat 5, Real Racing 3 or Dead Trigger 2 all run fine and fast.
ROM & Updates?
There are in fact some updates out, that can't be found via OTA Wireless Update on the phone.
The updated ROMs can be found on Needrom - just search for "Ulefone Power" on Needrom. I can not link directly to them here.
And the battery?
I have run a Geekbench 3 battery test (on screen time) on the device and got 20 hours, before it died, but unfortunately Geekbench 3 didn't allow me to upload the results. So it can not be found online. But expect 3-4 days good battery life with normal usage.
The Fast Charger can charge the phone from 0-100% in 120 minutes! (I checked it) that is really good.... the charger gives 1.66A output.
Regarding the battery mAh capacity:
I have measured the battery capacity mAh, you can have a look here: (to 5958mAh with a normal charger)
http://peecee.dk/uploads/012016/POWER-S7YLER.jpg
To that you probably need to subtract a bit still, as some will be lost. But seems to be legit.
I was not able to measure the correct capacity with the included fast charger, so I measured it while it just charged via a normal 5V 1A charger.
In real life, I have used it as daily driver, and I could go 3 1/2 day before I had to put it to the charger, so expect 3-4 days battery life. Depending on the usage.
Will this phone work in my country with my carrier?
I can't answer you on that, but you can check it on these 2 sites:

what version are you going to review? the white, the wood or the black version?

One simple question? Is it too heavy? (Tiring to hold while talking maybe?)

It is 196g - so you have to determine it yourself. For me it is okay, I have also seen phones up to 250g - and that's what I call heavy

Any idea about root, or rather, if Xposed + Gravity Box will work on this device?
Also, any ideas why Ulefone chose to implement 32 bit 5.1 instead of 64 bit even though the hardware clearly supports it?
And since I ran into that issue with the Cubot X15: Do widgets and background services like Whatsapp, Gmail etc continue working even after you close the apps and free up the RAM? (Especially noticable on a reboot.)

please wait my TWRP for modding purpose.. it's just ready, i need phone to test it..
Regarding Xposed, i don't know if it wuill work or not, this is the first thing i will check once i will have in my hand.
Regarding 32 bit OS.. it looks very strange.. never seen any MT6753 with 32Bit OS..

Post #1 now updated with a full IN-DEPTH review video..... check it out

ROM?
Why are the chances of there being a BlissPop rom in the near future for the Ulefone Power.

no chances ... Bliss work only on very common devices and mainly on Qualcomm devices with source code available in github. . Ulefone don0t have chances in this way

thanks a lot! very good indeed!
also in some other case, with Oukitel K10000 , i have had issue with Geekbench battery test uploading results.. seems to have a bug that more than 15/16 hours is not allowed for uploading ...
I'll check mine with Quick Charge 2.0 5V 2A power supply, to verify also your result for Ulefone Power.
It's a really good battery!

Also just made this small comparison/test....
Ulefone Power (Battery Runtime Battle) vs. S6 Edge & LG G3

Was an interesting video to watch but if I am allowed some constructive criticism:
The testing environments were not the same. Some of that is out of your control like different resolutions (1080p on the power vs 1440p on the other two) which drains more power from the higher res devices. The other thing was more controllable though: brightness setting. I know you put both on 100% but that doesn't mean they are equally bright since one phone could be extremely bright at 100% while another is half as bright at the same setting so this penalizes better/more powerful screens as well.

partly agree.. but is really hard to compare in other way..
i'm not so impressed by Power battery performance, 6000mAh on mediatek cpu and 1080p screen, need to double or close to double the battery life of the other two... and i only see the max gap is aroung 10/15%... needo to arrive at power off to judge better...

True, especially since the Galaxy S6 Edge that has a better screen resolution could actually keep up somewhat and it only has a 2600 mAh battery.
Any idea when your phone will arrive btw? Eagerly awaiting the rooting/Xposed reports.
And FWIW, I ordered mine yesterday from Everbuying and it already got shipped out. Didn't expect that since I assumed it was a preorder everywhere.

But the Samsung has the advantage of a AMOLED display. AMOLED will use less power, especially in dark scenes/black and the screen on the S6 is only 5.0 inch.
The Ulefone Power has to power a 5.5 inch LCD with full backlight all the time.

I put my USB measurement tool on a normal 5V, 1A charger (not on the fast charger as I didn't get any real results) and let it charge the Ulefone Power from 0-100%
When it stopped to charge at 100% the measurement tool showed 5958mAh
http://peecee.dk/uploads/012016/POWER-S7YLER.jpg
So from what I have read, this should then be calculated like this
Ulefone Power charged up 5958 mAh @ 5v (nominal) so 29790 milliwatt-hours, or 29.7 Wh
29.7 Wh x 80% efficiency = 23,76 Wh and assuming a battery voltage of 3.8v, then 23,76 Wh / 3.8v = ~6252 mAh
Anyone knows if that is correct? please correct me if I'm wrong with something here - and what does that actually show us then? Is the battery then real?

HTC 10 Thermal Throttling Thread

Hi there.
I have my 10 for a day now and it's my first HTC phone. Because I love overclocking and stuff I've already installed Qualcomm Trepn Profiler even though I don't even have root yet.
The SD820 is a Quadcore BigLittle with core 0 and core 1 maxing out at 1.59ghz while core 2 and 3 go to 2.15ghz.
So I've used my favorite app called stability test v2.7 and did a short run.
To be fair I've been using the phone the whole time with "normal usage" so it was already pretty warm.
But yeah, I don't know the SoC temperature, the phone itself didn't feel more like 40c.
And it dropped to 1.3ghz pretty fast. Normalised CPU load is about 70%

So yeah. Any experiences outside from Benchmarking? I doubt that a 1.3ghz Kryo core will slow anything down if all 4 of them are working, but still. 1.3 instead of 2.15 +1.6 is a little difference.

That is unfortunate, I have seen many places mentioning how hot HTC 10 can get specially during gaming. It could be due to metal frame or maybe a software optimization issue.

@Haldi4803
thanks for this thread, can you please try the Powersaver and lets us know what changes in terms of cores configurations and CPU clocks
with the M8 HTC almost half the clocks with powersaver while keeping the core count and full GPU speed, with the M9 HTC locks into the small A53 quad cluster (which is a very bad idea considering how slow these cores are) on the X10 devices like M9+ and M9S HTC locks into quad as well and reduces the clocks to 1.2ghz turning the super smooth UI into a laggy experience
also whats the point of doing this test on an already warm device? its not really fair, can you please redo from a idle state?

This is expected. I remember the m9 had a lot of heat issues along with other devices that came with the SD810. Which is why a lot of devices went with the 808 last year. So they may have played it safe and went with more thermal throttling this year.

Actually aluminum sheds heat outward faster than plastic, glass or any other type of metal which is it's used to make engine blocks.

What do you expect from a metal slab, folks? I think these tests are silly. All they are saying is "if you pass current through metal slab, the metal slab is going to heat"...well, duh!!
As long as the phone does not shutdown during normal game play for an hour, I am fine with it throttling down to keep the temps under control. Can someone confirm that its fine to game for an hour on this phone and it still keeps functioning as a normal smartphone (calls, videos, audio, gps etc. function normally)?

Indeed.
Also, go ahead and game for a couple of hours. Sure it throttles, doh, but it settles down rather quickly in regard to performance/temperature.

So your saying battery life wise,it's a bad idea to use power saver mode on the m9 but a good idea on the 10?

This is what lead me to run away from the M9 and Snapdragon 810. The 820 is probably nearly identical to that chipset design one would assume.
Only once we had kernel source and could under volt the CPUs, or turn some cores off did 1) the heat finally start to go away on the M9, and 2) the battery would stop being eaten up by the processor.
Would barely make it 8-10hrs on full battery on the M9. But what did turning off cores/undervolting do? Reduced performance of course. So, kind of defeats the purpose.
Sad to hear this. But I think this is going to be a trend and normal comment from people about the M10/Snapdragon 820.
Was wondering in the back of my head about the M10 and processor if anything has changed. Looks like it hasn't.

Lol, HTC Software sure doesn't like Benchmarking.
You can see the cores throttling 20sec after the Benchmark starts. But then when I tab out and it runs in the bg you can see the spike to 2.2ghz at the end.
Oh yeah, and for this test I did activate the high speed mode in Dev options.

what are the name of the app that are you using for the cpu/gpu onscreen overlay? thanks

@51CK0F1T4LL
Trepn Profiler, made by Qualcomm.
Sadly you have to switch to estimated Battery Power because normal mode doesn't work.

Did another test with powersafe mode on.
Sticks to 1,32ghz all the time.
Currently trying to find out if GPU Clock is also limited

Okay.....
I can totally see why the Adreno 530 GPU is throttling...
That thing draws an easy 7W on 624mhz and even after throttling still eats 5W on 500mhz.
P.S yeah, the result is that bad because of the resolution. It's not offscreen.

Nope,
Powersafe mode doesn't touch the GPU.

Lol.
You know this app? Boost+ with the Smartboost and game battery booster?
The only thing it does is reduce screen resolution from original 2560x1440 to 1920x1080.
Powerdrain is still exactly the same XD
Guess Benchmarks just aren't made for power efficiency XD

For cpu/gpu throttling try to do gfxbench battery test, or run the 3dmark test 5/10 times
I will appreciate if you can do this test for me

If you get 35-40 fps with good battery life this more than enough, unless you don't know what you want from you device.
I heard you can optimize the screen for 1080p for gaming, is that true

That's mainly GPU bound, so CPU will have about 10-20% Load maximum.
The Adreno 530 is not a little dragon but a huge power hungry beast. I think anandtech did a pretty good longtime throttling test.
P.S I get better Random Write in Powersafe mode..... Wtf?
And yeah, check the macro bench. CPU performance is reduced....
Battery safe:
Normal:

Regarding the random write: That's just AndroBench 4 being silly. The power saver doodah didn't do that.
If you want and care and bother, change your settings and runthe Micro benchmark multiple times, at least 5.
And then report the average of those results. (probably better to post that to the benchmark thread??)
When I tested my sister's Z3 Compact before/after FDE, I ran it 10 times.
Settings I used (default):
256MB file size (64MB) (feel free to increase this to 512 (or heck even 1024) if you want more accurate sequential numbers)
256KB/4KB buffer size (32768KB/4KB)
threads 1 (8)
Here's the raw data from my testing, notice the variation. Before FDE random write min/max
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VCT4hbJItyGaCrzJKfDvQG3f9uQ2B6grRl3VDWHik1M/edit
Which just goes to show how important it is to run the micro benchmark multiple times and then using the average, just like Joshua from Anandtech has said.

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the OUKITEL K4000 Plus.
Hardware
As a successor of the OUKITEL K4000 Pro, the K4000 Plus brings some nice improvements, with an overall better build quality and a new OS (based on Android of course) called OUKITEL OS. As regards the specs, there are no major improvements. It is powered by a Mediatek MT6737, with 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM and 8MP Back Camera. Maybe an extra GB for the RAM would have been appreciated.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with the standard kit of accessories provided by OUKITEL: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1.5A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Certificate, 1x TPU Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A screen protector is already applied.
Talking about the dimensions, this is where the upgrade is noticeable. It is 14.43x7.15x1.07cm, not that bad considering the battery capacity, and weights 219g, still a bit too much.
Following all latest OUKITEL devices, also this one features a Metal Chassis, but with a removable plastic back cover. It feels solid, but the back cover makes it slippery.
On the front side there is the standard 2.5D Curved Display and the upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. Luckily, a Notification LED is here.
Here you can see the Notification LED in action.
On the lower front side there is just the Fingerprint Scanner in the center, with no touch keys on the sides. I can't understand this choice, it is a waste of space.
On the back side there is the removable back cover.
The upper rear side of the device features the rounded Camera Sensor supported by a single Flashlight.
On the lower rear side there are some logos together with the Speaker hole.
Device
Screen
Sincerely i'm impressed by the screen of this device, even though the color temperature is a bit too high just like on all OUKITEL devices, it is super-bright, sharp and seems to have an higher than average refresh rate.
The Light Sensor supports almost smooth light changes, with a proper auto-brightness management. This is its maximum brightness.
Viewing Angles matches IPS screen capabilities, nothing to complain about.
Camera
Unfortunately not everything can be great, and the camera department is something that definitely has not impressed me at all. The rear camera isn't able to keep the noise level low, even outdoors, and, as a result, the image detail isn't that great.
"HDR off" on the left and "HDR on" on the right. HDR works just fine, but the noise level ruins it.
Some extra photos taken outdoors. Look great only if you don't zoom them.
The Single-LED flashlight is barely sufficient to provide enough light for low-light shots.
As regards Video Recording, 720p videos are decent, with stable 25fps.
The front camera is a standard OmniVision 2MP sensor, and it isn't a wide-angle variant.
Audio
Speaker Quality confuses me, it is super loud, probably one of the loudest i have ever tried on a smartphone, but at maximum volume it distorts soo bad that it seems to be near to die. Dear OUKITEL, please reduce the maximum volume to avoid any possible hardware damage.
As regards the Microphone, it is decent but a bit too quiet, this is where the volume gain needs to be increased a bit.
GPS
GPS Signal is good, not the best, but at least it is able to lock satellites indoors.
Indoors on the left, outdoors on the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
OUKITEL provides full european bands support, with 4G Band 20 (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it). My 4G connection was working just fine, but i think the signal indicator isn't accurate, because i never managed to obtain such high speed with such a low 4G signal.
WiFi 5GHz isn't supported. Connected at 65mbps with my 2.4GHz Network, i was able to reach ~37mbps, not the best, neither the worst.
Battery Life
As always, i measure the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and it seems that the real battery capacity almost matches the declared value (declared 4100mAh, real ~4070mAh).
Unfortunately the PCMark Battery Test crashes after a long while, so i had to switch to Antutu Tester. Not the best battery benchmark, but it is the most hard to handle benchmark with extreme battery usage, maximum brightness, and everything on. Pretty good result.
As regards battery charging times, the 5V/1.5A charger isn't fast at all, requiring more than 4 hours to full charge the device.
Software
Unlike most devices from OUKITEL, this is the first one released with OUKITEL OS! Even though i don't like custom UIs, this one doesn't seem to be too bad. Based on my research, this based on 360 OS (well-known chinese company), with a mixture of features from iOS and other UIs. The result isn't disappoting, at least for me, and the UI feels extremely smooth, even on high-load. Definitely well-optimized, unlike Dido OS or any other unknown bad UIs that i have seen in the past. Unfortunately, it is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow under the hood, but Android Security Patches are up-to-date.
All kinds of Mediatek features are still here, with MiraVision, Gestures and so on...
One Malware found using MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, but i guess this is a false positive.
The Fingerprint Scanner is blazing fast, almost instant, without any accuracy issue. I'm sorry for the video without any music and intro, but the YouTube Video Editor is out of service. If it won't be back, i will switch to a proper video editor.

Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – Just like all MT6737 devices, GPU performance isn't good at all.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is decent, write speed lower than read speed. (as expected)
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), enough for basic daily tasks.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – Nothing different here, still the same low GPU performance.
PCMark – Not too bad scores for this SOC. Decent Results.
Work 2.0
Computer Vision
Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – As expected, overall Browser and CPU performance isn't that great.
Conclusions
It took a bit longer to review this device because, nearly to the end of the reviewing process, OUKITEL released an OTA Update T_T Meaning that i had to retest everything again haha. Anyway, at least this means that they work on the software a lot.
Excluding this funny coincidence, this device is probably the most perfect ever released by OUKITEL. Buttery Smooth UI, even on the slow MT6737 SOC, and with an overall good quality of the hardware. Maybe they could have improved cameras a bit more, but this isn't meant to be used as a camera smartphone.
Hopefully it will be updated to Android 7 Nougat as soon as possible.
I can recommend this device to all users that don't mind about using a Custom UI, and to those who are in search of a cheap battery-phone.
Pros:
Buttery Smooth UI
Multi-Color Notification LED
Powerful Speaker
Well-Built and Solid
Bright and Sharp screen panel
Cons:
Plastic Back Cover
No Magnetometer/Gyroscope Sensors
Noisy Camera Sensors
Still running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Inaccurate Mobile Signal indicator

Follow my tutorial using SP Flash Tool.

Overall speed

Would you say that the Samsung C9 Pro is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Samsung C9 Pro exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

+6Gigs of ram
+6 inch screen
+4000mAh battery
+18w fast charging
+Hi-fi
+Samsung pay
+Dual speakers
-snap dragon 653
-crap camera (although it has 2.1 mega pixel camera)
-no Android 7.0 now
-fast charging will enable when the screen are dimming
-not so much third-party rom support(but lineage OS)
-low cost performance
-Crap finger print sensor
The daily use performance are pretty GREAT, the 6gigs of RAM Will let you forgot to clean your recent tasks. The screen is fancy and big enough to enjoy YouTube time and the dual speakers feels great when you're using it, you can't back to only one speaker times. The earphones sound quality are great and I can't go out without my earphones.
But when I want to unlock my C9 pro, it is pretty terrible. It will take several times to unlock the phone and the recognize speed is so SLOW, maybe takes 1s, which is terrible.
(The most important thing is I don't like to play games on my phone,so I don't care about the performance of CPU)

hpe to improve camera quality

-The Hi-Fi feel nothing if I use some hi-fi headphone
-I think the fingerprint sensor is pretty good ,t can read fingerprint without turn on your screen, unlike the iPhones
-The camera in day time is pretty good but at night...Ummm... It's bad
-Let me talk about the CPU performance,I always play games, the CPU performance if u play some heavy games ilke what I did (e.g. PUBG mobile, Arena of Valor) the CPU performance just like crap ,it can handle it but low FPS and lag something.But still, the CPU performs a top middle range phone performance.
Also the battery life is pretty bad while playing heavy game
Any wrong ,I'm glad to correct information

Review (part 1)
Introduction
This is the m-net Power 1.
Hardware
Joining the battery phone area, this device features an huge battery considering that it is only a 5 inches device: 5050mAh. Thus, combined with the low-power and also low-end Mediatek MT6580 SOC clocked at 1.30GHz, the battery life should be great, or not? Keep reading the review to know more.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with basic accessories: 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/1.5A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, 1x Warranty Card, 1x Extra Back Cover and the Smartphone (of course). A plastic screen protector is already applied, but there isn't any case included in the box.
Being a battery phone, it is clear that this device can't be considered small neither light. It is 14.3x7.17x1.17cm, with noticeable bezels, and with a weight of 187g.
The whole device is made of plastic, there are no metal parts for the body, but the unibody removable plastic back cover make the device pretty solid, even though it doesn't feel premium at all.
On the front side there is the usual 2.5D Curved Display and the upper front side of the device features the Front-Facing Camera supported by a Flashlight, an Earpiece, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. No Notification LED is here.
On the lower front side there is the classic soft-keys zone, with Recents, Home and Back buttons.
The upper rear side of the device features the Camera Sensor supported by a Single-LED Flashlight.
On the lower rear side there isn't important anything at all since the speaker is located on the bottom.
Device
Screen
Even though this is a low-end budget smartphone, it features a decent screen, with an acceptable color accuracy. I would not have expected to find such a good screen on this device, impressive.
The Light Sensor supports partial light changes, with a sufficient auto-brightness management. This is its maximum brightness.
Viewing Angles almost matches IPS screen capabilities, but there seems to be a small gap between the screen and the touch-panel. I guess this is not a full-laminated screen.
Camera
Camera Quality is mediocre, barely sufficient to get some decent shots, but with an excellent auto-focus management. There seems to be an issue with the exposure management, making all photos look darker than usual even on excellent light conditions. An OTA update might fix this issue.
Just like most budget smartphones, also this one doesn't have an high quality flashlight, with a noticeable blue tint. It is powerful though, still better than nothing.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos are recorded at 25fps, with a barely stable frame-rate.
This will probably sound weird, but the front-camera is able to take some great shots, and the front flashlight is powerful too. Unbelievable.
Audio
Unfortunately, when it comes to audio quality, it is possible to notice that this is a budget smartphone. Lack of volume from the speaker, and muffled microphone.
For standard calls it is just fine, but i can't recommend it for sound recording in loud environments.
GPS
GPS quality is decent for outdoor usage, insufficient indoors.
Outdoors on the left, Indoors of the right.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Being an old-style 2G/3G smartphone, it isn't possible to get any great result, at least not in my area, using the mobile connection. Signal Reception seems to be great, but do not consider this result as the bible since 3G network coverage is basically everywhere nowadays.
The same can't be said for the WiFi connection. Connected to my 2.4GHz network, the result was not impressive as regards the bandwidth, unfortunately an issue present on the majority of MT6580 devices.
Battery Life
Following my standard battery testing procedure, i tested the real capacity using my USB Tester, and, based on the result, its capacity doesn't match the declated value (declared ~5050mAh, real ~4795mAh).
As expected, the PCMark Battery Life test provides a great result, reaching almost 18 hours and an half. (lowest brightness, WiFi on, Sync on)
Thankfully, m-net provides a 5V/1.5A charger instead of a crappy 1A or 0.5A. Ok, this isn't still fast charging, but with more or less 3 hours it is possible to recharge the device completely.
Software
Running on Android Nougat 7.0 with July 2017 Security Patches and a light version of the FreemeOS ROM, the device looks pretty clean and doesn't have major performance issues. Unfortunately, there is some bloatware pre-installed, that can be uninstalled without any problem. Due to the screen refresh rate capped to ~50hz, the UI doesn't feel as smooth as it should be.
Common Mediatek Features such as MiraVision, double tap-to-wake, gestures and so on are there.

Review (part 2)
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.
3DMark – A Mali-400MP2 GPU struggles to provide enough power for 3D apps.
AndroBench – A low-end eMMC has been used, i would have preferred something better.
Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.
Epic Citadel – Some OpenGL 2.0 games should have enough power for a decent gaming experience.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is as low as expected, due to the 4x Cortex-A7 SOC.
CPU
Compute
GFXBench – Not the best GPU performance here, but i might have expected something even worse.
PCMark – Just like on all MT6580 devices running on Nougat, the Work 2.0 test isn't able to run properly due to issues with Video Editing tasks so i guess some codecs are not working properly.
Work 2.0

Storage
Work 1.0
Vellamo – Surprisingly, all tests run correctly even with just 1GB of RAM. The results of course can't be impressive.
Conclusions
This is the first device ever released by m-net, and, considering what they managed to obtain, i guess they will keep focusing on budget devices. Even though it is called "Power 1", it can't be defined a powerful device. OK, its battery is superb, but it would have been better to have some extra performance too.
I do not dislike the idea of having a compact battery phone, since many users do not like devices with a screen bigger than 5.2". With a decent front camera, and a solid, but cheap, build quality, i can't say this is a device that should be ignored completely. I hope m-net will fix the back camera auto-exposure issue, and why not, also optimize the OS a bit more, in order to obtain a more usable smart-brick (not in a bad way, but it is thick).
Pros:
Solid Build Quality
Impressive Screen Brightness
Great Battery Life
Extra Back Cover included
Cons:
No Notification LED
Issues with Back Camera auto-exposure
Low Screen Refresh Rate
Audio Quality could have been better
Battery Capacity lower than declared
