Gentle Black
Macaron Blue
The graceful and refined hues set off the “distinctiveness and extraordinary nature” for you, giving a sense of refreshing, cool and absolutely romantic visual shock.
The phone’s body seems to be reasonably thin with 8.9mm and Homtom even claims, that visually it looks even more sublime the other smartphones.
The distinctive plastic back cover enables HT16 to be of a lighter weight and smoother surface.
The dotted sequins specially designed on the cover with fine texture add aesthetic beauty to the phone, meanwhile, enhancing the tactile sensation and avoiding slipping off to the ground.
What’s more, HT16, unlike the previous style, accepts a unique logo position by placing the “HOMTOM” vertically on the upper left side of the back cover, enabling it in line with the camera and flashlight, serving as a perfect embellishment for HT16 and making it a surprise and novelty.
Last but not the least the young and fresh design makes HT16 light and handy.
5.0’’ large screen makes HT16 light and handy, also with an ultimate visual experience.
The soft flowing lines and stylish edges perfectly conform to the contours of human hand, giving HT16 a “Comfort Grip”.
The 5.0-inch display is the most appropriate size for either single hand operation or both hands operation, it offers a comfortable holding feeling as well as an ultimate visual experience.
Homtom HT16 will probably offer some easier controls.
HT16 will be supporting gestures, including the off screen ones.

There's plenty of custom ROMs available for the Homtom HT16 PRO on 4PDA forum
These include Resurrection Remix, MIUI, LineageOS, Flyme OS, and many more, There are ROMs based on Android 6.0 and 7.1

So far, I got my Homtom HT16 Pro for about a week now, I bought in a local electronics shop (Worten) for 139€
It is pretty fast & snappy compared to my old Acer Z530 which starts to lag frequently due to lack of RAM
I did found a problem, The phone never goes to Deep Sleep mode on Stock ROM, which drains the battery at night at about 10 to 20%, I did eventually fixed by unlocking the bootloader, Installing TWRP via SP Flash Tool, Installing Super SU and then installing ResurrectionRemix Custom ROM and now, Deep Sleep works just fine and the battery doesn't drain anymore at night and also, I'm running the latest version of Android 7.1.2

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.

Leaked News:
LEAGOO T1 is here to challenge the OPPO F1
Oppo may have built a good reputation when it comes to design and build quality, but spec-wise it lacks the components to justify its price tags on most of the devices it makes. And LEAGOO is targeting OPPO F1 with its own LEAGOO T1.
The LEAGOO T1 ties the game in every other aspect and takes the lead in some of them. Both devices carry a 5″ 720p display, quad-core SoC *and same camera sensor sizes but the T1 has LED flash on both the back and front. Oppo advertises that the F1 is made of metal, but that is not the whole truth. Oppo F1 has a 65% metal body where LEAGOO T1 has an 85% metal body. Add to that the fingerprint sensor that has become almost essential on today’s smartphones and you can see the clear precedence of the T1. Oh, LEAGOO reveals that the T1 also has smaller bezels.
Software upgrades is another sector where Oppo has some problems and the T1 has an advantage. It comes with Android 6 out-of-the-box whereas the F1 is still stuck on Android 5.1.
Well, that's all we got about the T1 for now.​
Official Specs, Stylish Selfie Smartphone
LEAGOO debuted the T1 smartphone to take on Oppo F1 launched by rival brand Oppo. Letâ??s take a quick look at the features and specifications of this smartphone.
The T1 runs on LEAGOO OS 2.0 based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box and features a 5.0-inch 720P 2.5D curved glass display. Its body makes use of 85% of metal in its manufacturing which is more than 65% on Oppo F1. It is also powered by a 1.3GHz MediaTek quad-core chipset aided by 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Furthermore, it supports storage expansion up to 128GB via MicroSD card slot.
As regards the camera sensors, it features a 13MP rear shooter in addition to an 8MP front facing shooter with Smart Selfie 2.0. In order to take an upper hand on the Oppo F1, it comes equipped with LED flash at both sides, front and rear. This smartphone houses a fingerprint sensor on the back just below the camera for added security. It supports 4G LTE and all the usual connectivity features. It is fueled by a 2400mAh battery which is kind of a little bit disappointing considering other specs of this smartphone, but they might have been forced to use this small battery in order to keep it the most slim possible.
They have not revealed the price yet but leaks say it will be around $110. Considering leaked price of this smartphone, the specs are pretty good.​

Bluboo Dual / 1st Dual Camera & Dual Curvy Display/ MT6737T /5.5' FHD Review / TWRP

Bluboo Dual / 1st Dual Camera & Dual Curvy Display/ MT6737T /5.5' FHD Review / TWRP
Bluboo will release the world's first smartphone with Dual curvy display and Dual Camera
Bluboo Mobile will release their new smartphone Bluboo Edge in November soon. So far it’s known that the upcoming Bluboo Edge comes with a double curvy design, Gorilla Glass 4, rear led flash and some new power under the hood with MediaTek 6737 quad-core processor. It’s allegedly said that Bluboo is planning to launch another device named Bluboo Dual which will feature dual curved display design and dual camera setup.
A few days ago, a video showing the curvy display of Bluboo Edge was exposed. The elegant and sleek screen of Edge has drawn much attention and received positive feedback and interest. Maybe that’s the reason why Bluboo is trying to retain the dual curved design for the Bluboo Dual model. It’s rumored that in addition to dual curvy screen and dual cameras, the Bluboo Dual will sport a 5.5-inch display with FHD resolution, aviation aluminum alloy as back case, quad-core MT6737T processor clocked at 1.5 GHz.
Anyway, Bluboo Dual price will be much below the insane price of Huawei Mate 9 Porsche Design.
Well, please stay tuned for more news about Bluboo Dual.

Dual camera setup seems to be the most trendy in the mobile phone field this year. Following the step of Vivo X9, Gionee S9, Xiaomi 5S Plus, and Huawei Mate 9, it’s confirmed that Chinese manufacturer, Bluboo also plan to announce a new smartphone with dual camera design, named Bluboo Dual.
If you are familiar with the Bluboo brand, you must know that they mainly release mid-ranged handsets. Well, now we’ll have to wait and see if these details are accurate, but thankfully not too long.

Rumors about Bluboo Dual with dual camera design are already circulating for few months, but now it seems finally Bluboo engineers are really working since they released first pictures showing the real looks of the phone.
Dual name you need to have dual cameras, but ehm we probably hoped for something better than 13 Mpix primary one with Sony IMX135 sensor paired with 2 Mpix subsidiary one. In theory the primary camera captures the image and the secondary captures the depth information.
From the photo you can decide if Bluboo Dual is looking not bad with the brushed full metal body made of aviation-grade aluminum.
BUT
Bluboo Dual is going the full budget route with quad-core MT6737T processor clocked at 1,5 GHz, 2 GB RAM and 16 GB of expandable storage up to 256 GB.
Front panel has a 5,5-inch Sharp screen with FHD resolution, Gorilla Glass 4, advance two-layer touch panel with 10-point multi-touch support and reacting to gloved or wet hand.
Rest of the noteworthy specifications of Bluboo Dual include a gyroscope,
OTG support,
dual hybrid SIM slot,
3000 mAh Sony battery,
rear Smart Touch ID fingerprint scanner,
GPS + Glonass
Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the OS.
Bluboo Dual will be available in 3 color variants – Black, Gold and Rose Gold with retail price listed at $149.99. Bluboo claim that the pre-sales would start on December 5th

Not bad, at least one of the cameras is good, hopefully. For the price (saw it $114 at Geekbuying) it looks interesting.

LEAGOO T10 – Everything You Need To Know Before its Release!
At last, Leagoo top-notch is just warming up for it’s release as the company’s first high-en! phone.
We have seen Leagoo providing smartphones around the globe, whether it’s a rugged or non-rugged, plastic or metal. So what’s next for Leagoo? What’s missing? Well, we have never seen Leagoo competing in the high-end section. But, soon the dream of the enthusiasts will turn into reality as the manufacturer is looking forward to stepping in the intense top-tier section with the upcoming release of Leagoo T10.
Leagoo T10 – The Details You Need to Know
Leagoo has been generous to the audience regarding hardware and features. The examples are in front*of like M5 Plus, T1 and now T10. Like we said previously, Leagoo T10 is the company’s first attempt to forge a top-end beast and that’s why it’s Leagoo’s backbone and the ultimate flagship of the year 2016.
Design & Appearance
Leagoo T10 seems to be the*younger brother of T1, as not only the names accord but also the designs*are somewhat similar. For a much premium experience, Leagoo T10 forged from metal and in fact has an*all*Metal Unibody*layout.
The only change in the appearance of T10 from T1 is the shifting of LED flash from the center to an upgraded dual LED flash to the top left. Plus, T10 is 1mm thicker than T1 because of the hardware and battery.
Hardware &*Configuration
Even though Leagoo T10 is identical to T1 (in design and appearance) that doesn’t mean the configuration will be the same. What’s under the hood is truly incredible and the principal selling point of the terminal. We experience the presence of Helio X20, a deca-core processor*as the heart of flagship beating at the frequency of*2.0GHz. The name ‘T10’ matches the 10 cores and tri-cluster design of Helio X20 perfectly. It is further accompanied by 4GB RAM*and*32GB*internal storage with the expandable option via Micro-SD card (up to*128GB). The phone*cherishes with the*Dual SIM*support along*4G+*network support.
What’s more interesting is that Leagoo has broken the tradition of introducing standard 5.5-inch HD screens in its smartphones, as we have a stunning 5.7-inch screen with Full-HD resolution. The rear camera remains the same with*13MP (Samsung Sensor, 5P lens)*with PDAF. Meanwhile, the front one has been upgraded to*13 MP (Sony Sensor, AF PDAF, 4P lens)*from 8MP when compared to its ancestor.
There are some untouched features as well including the*rear fingerprint reader with a response time of 0.19 secs (Fingerprint ID 3.0), Smart gestures,*Gyroscope. The T10 smartphone runs on*Leagoo 2.1 OS*based on Android 6.0. At last, a*massive 3500 mAh*Li-Polymer, non-removable battery powers the flagship and charges in almost no time with the*USB Type-C 2.0 interface.
Release Date & Price
A fixed date has not been announced for the launch of Leagoo T10. But, the manufacturer hints that T10 smartphone is expected to hit the market in late November or in December. The price is also not officially stated, but it will probably be lower than $200 with those high-end specs. All we can do is wait till its release.​

Review
Unboxing
Accessories included with the CUBOT King Kong 3 are just standard, with a Type-C USB Cable, 5V up to 9V MTK Pump Express Charger, a SIM Card Eject Tool and nothing else. Unlike all Type-C devices you see on the market, this device, that doesn't feature an 3.5mm Headphone Jack, does not even include an adapter so you need to buy it separately hoping that it will work. Why? I have no idea to be honest, odd marketing choice i guess.
Materials
As expected from CUBOT, the device feels quite premium with a rubberized (or soft-TPU) body and metal sides for some structural rigidity, typical for IP68 Rugged smartphones.
The Type-C port is standard, with no cable compatibility issues, well-engineered.
I would have appreciated to see slimmer bezels, too much wasted space on the front.
Connectivity
5.0GHz WiFi Networks (802.11n only) are supported with a sufficient signal strength.
Dual 4G is also supported (but not 100% stable yet based on my testing, drops to 3G/2G frequently) and i haven't faced any reception issues.
No LTE Carrier Aggregation (to reach up to 300mbps in 4G+ aka CAT-6) is enabled here (and can't be enabled manually).
Software and Performance
The device ships with Android Oreo 8.1 and, using the latest OTA update, security patches are dated November 2018, as recent as they should be. The OS is clean, with no bloatware, and the included Google Suite is complete.
Nothing to complain about system performance, the HD+ only screen helps a lot with efficiency (no battery drain + low power consumption) and smoothness. Here you can see some benchmarks.
Camera
Unfortunately the camera is not the strongest part of this device, photos in low-light conditions feature an high amount of noise. Still, that was expected, since the back camera sensor is an old Sony IMX135 13MP that in late-2018 can be considered obsolete.
Conclusions
Considering the market that CUBOT is trying to fill this device in, this is a decent smartphone with room for improvements via software. I can recommend it to those who need a device that won't be abandoned the day after its release since, at least based on my experience with CUBOT smartphones, updates are frequent and user feedbacks are, usually, used to improve the device (like Dual 4G, it was not enabled when i got the device and via an OTA update they have enabled it).
Rating: 8-​
I forgot to mention that the device is 100% Google Certified so perfectly usable with Android Pay (NFC built-in).
Is this device rootable?
I couldn't find a decent instruction how to root the King Kong 3.
For such a price - I consider that this model with such features - is optimal for the purchase, so there is no particular disadvantage, is there a large frame at the top and bottom?
On my device, the GPS is the big issue. It is hardly ever receiving a signal and therefore useless. It seems to be an Android 8.x problem on some devices, but I still didn't find a sufficent solution. I might send it back and get a different brand, like the Uleforne Armor 5. Any suggestions considering the GPS issue?
Test it 3 month
I got it from 3month, and i'm happy with it?
4days battery, look will up to date, solid hardware, military ip68 rugged building.
Camera isn't best but sound enought for me.
I cannot find any easy rooted way, but its 8.1 stock on it, and i can delete useless Google apps, with simple ADB.
Otherwise, GPS works good after 1 minute luncher gpsnavy.
Borders top and bottom are 2cm long....
My opinion it's the best price/quality deal from now.
This is the worst device anyone can buy
After couple months purchasing this device started to have problems apps crashing and sometimes the app that crash made device reboot so after tried sp flash tools to reflash device the radio signal started to degrade eventually it couldn't read the Sim card correct anymore even shows the baseband and imei correctly. That last time I ever purchasing anything from China.
