UHANS A101: Salute to Nokia
Except for U100, U200, S1 and Balance, another new member named as A101 has joined the UHANS Party. Just as its name suggests, it is the first model of the “A” lineup standing for affordable smartphones and also a salute to Nokia.
Although this giant has fallen down, its scrupulous attitude in phone manufacturing and glorious sales legend still remain. It is a classic brand to be admired in people’s mind.
To give tribute to it, UHANS A101 is gonna carry on some outstanding characteristics of it. Rugged and solid as Nokia is, UHANS find it hard to surpass but try to get close to. You don’t have to feel walking on egg shells worrying your precious smartphone will get a scratch or dent.
Last but not least, it will be a smartphone with a budget powered with MT6737.
This UHANS A101 will come out in the middle of August.​

A preview of the device has been just published on UHANS FB Page.
https://www.facebook.com/UHANSMobil...9892364178500/611118515722550/?type=3&theater
It seems pretty good, but...probably not rugged as they made me think haha.

Big battery! Pokemon Go!

There are no details about battery yet, but the chassis thickness makes me think at least 2600mAh.

UHANS A101: First look
It is scheduled to come out in the middle of August with an compelling price tag. Being a device inspired by Nokia, let’s check how it is.
Black and White, two color variants will be available covering all common consumers interest. In addition, there will be probably a gold version.
The frames are sprayed separately with gray and silver metallic finish with lovely curves to give a gentle touch to grips.
The classic tradition of the removable battery will be carried forward on UHANS A101. Taking a spare battery rather than a bulky power bank allows you to get twice the power with you.
The whole curvy body wraps up a 5.0-inch 2.5D glass display. Fueled by a MediaTek MT6737 64-bit 1.3 GHz processor and Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the UHANS A101 is packed into a body of 143.5*71.2*9.5mm. Also, it supports FDD-LTE Band 1/3/7/8/20 (4G network).​

Interesting. Dimensions are not as compact as the smallest 5.0" phones, but still not bad. And a removeable battery is always welcome for Pokemon Go!

UHANS A101’s hexa-oval design inspired by “Casa Vicens”
Antoni Gaudi left the world astonishing with so many architecture masterpieces, including the famous one “Casa Vicens” located in Barcelona. Every corner of this building is round with no severe lines and angles. UHANS A101 is inspired by such a concept.
Unlike most clean-cut designed smartphones on the market, no sharp lines can be found on UAHNS A101. It is composed by six ovals seen from every side, altogether forming an elliptical piece of artwork.
Simplicity is the ultimate complexity. UHANS A101 explains that to the fullest. The zero-sharp-line design takes away the “coldness” that usually comes with a tech device, while leaving the “gentleness” exuding from the streamlined body.
The rubber coated finish makes the back cover feel like delicate leather, nothing like that of cold metal, glass and plastic. 5.0-inch display makes A101 approachable to palms of all sizes. And it pairs well with your pockets.
UHANS A101 is worthy the title of the “Casa Vicens” in the smartphone world. It is possibly the most palm-friendly Android smartphone on the market.​

Are those photos how the chamfers are going to be? Because that looks really nice.

Yes, probably one of the best design i have ever seen. Also the color is pretty nice.

After rose gold, will slate gray be the new “black”?
Black has long been favored not only in the fashion history, but also in the mobile phone industry. However, it seems that black is losing its dominating position. First comes rose gold that has been popularized by iPhone 6S, and then we see blue is stealing the thunder when Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and Huawei Honor 8 made their public appearance.
Classic as black is, UHANS decided to ditch this color variant on UHANS A101 by using slate gray, which they name it as Midnight navy and white that’s named Cloud dancer.
What we’re gonna talk about here is slate gray. It is a gray color mixed with a slight azure tinge that represents the average color of the material slate. Probably that’s where the name comes from. It is a color between black and deep blue. The blue is quite deep, almost close to gray, which also conveys our founder’s love for Nokia and this is how we’re giving tribute to Nokia.
Besides, the color itself expresses a lot about style-consciousness. It combines luxury with casualty, peaceful and calm. It is also a color quite popular in house decoration, while it looks also attractive in hair style and special in dressing style. Holding a phone of that color in hand, you can easily shift from workplace to personal life fashionably.
Will it become a new trend of popularity just like rose gold of iPhone taking the world by a storm?​

How am I gonna leave fingerprints on UHANS A101?
Inspired by Casa Vicens, the design of UHANS A101 is full of slight and warm curves. In order to make it more delicate, they have put two layers of rubber coating to the back cover. And it feels insanely good.
Rubber coating is also called leather coating as it feels just like leather. Unlike glossy glass and plastic which feels cold and slippery, rubber coating gives the hand a warm and soft feeling. What’s more, the texture matches well with the round shape and curves.
However, what I like most about it is not the hand feeling, but the anti-fingerprint feature. Normally, it doesn’t catch fingerprints at all until your hands get pretty greasy or something. Samsung S7/S7 edge has been complained of smudging as hell because of the glass back. In contrast, UHANS A101 stays clean as hell.​

UHANS A101: A tribute to Nokia or a parody to Samsung Galaxy S7?
While UHANS A101 is paying tribute to Nokia, some said it looks more like a tribute to the Galaxy S7 and S4 because they’re so much alike. Galaxy S7 or S4? Whatever. See how it looks like.
Samsung Galaxy S7 has a meaningfully different look and touch with rough edges smoothed. The curves are bold, totally changing how users think about smarphones’ shapes. This is exactly what UHANS A101 is trying to learn from it. However, not all of it. The plastic with rubber coating A101 applies is distinctive from S7’s premium glass. Guess they want to get rid of all the smudges that comes with glass material though it looks and feels quite so damn nice. That said, the texture of A101 may be soft and fingerprint-resistant.
A premium design does not only make S7 the best smartphone, but the specifications. It’s got quad-core Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB RAM and 32/64GB ROM, 5.1-inch super AMOLED display with 1440*2560 resolution. It runs Android 6.0 and has a 12MP rear camera, 5MP camera and 3000 mAh battery capacity. What’s more, it is IP68 certified. UHANS A101 is nothing compared to Samsung Galaxy S7. What powers it up is quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor pairing with 1GB RAM ans 8GB ROM. It also runs the Android 6.0, however, it has a 5.0-inch display with 1280*720 resolution, 5MP rear camera and 2MP front camera. The battery capacity is 2450mAh. The A101 takes three very Nokia-like characteristics and blends them into a modern Android smartphone. It’s compact and hard-wearing, and has a removable battery.
However, there’s no point in comparing the specs without considering the prices. High-end specs of Samsung Galaxy S7 comes with a price. Indeed, a high price about $750, which is almost 10 times as UHANS A101.
UHANS CEO Eric Wu said, “People are overusing smartphones these days, some are even addicted, so we want more and more functions on a smartphone. But we don’t really need that much, sometimes less is more.” Therefore, the A101 goes back to basics with minimal specs to meet the most basic needs.
The A101 clearly isn’t made to be a powerhouse. It’s made for affordability so that anyone can afford one, and the expected cost is less than $70. Pre-orders for the A101 will begin in a few days.​

Finally we can compare the screen of this A101 with other devices, this time with a Galaxy S7. I know, the former has a IPS screen while the latter an AMOLED screen, but at least you can the color accuracy and brightness.
I'm curious to compare it with the UHANS S1 that had a really nice screen.​

Water-Proof Test of the DOOGEE T5
DOOGEE T5 is the world’s first smartphone that combines the DIY style with 3-proofing. The Rugged Nature and Exchangeable Style, makes you have more choices basing on the environment's appearance and style.
They made a water-proof test (IP67 protection). If it resists, it means surviving in the harsh outdoor environment is not a problem.
Website: http://www.doogee.cc
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doogee.cc
Twitter: https://twitter.com/DOOGEE_official
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doogee_official

IP67 Protection, what does it mean?
DOOGEE has labeled the T5 with IP67 Certification so to understand its level of water resistance we need to check what IP67 certification means. The certification system is administered by the International Electrotechnical Commission and can be broken down as follows:
IP stands for Ingress Protection
- The first digit is on a scale of 0 to 6 and represents the level of dust protection the device offers (higher numbers are better)
- The second digit is on a scale of 0 to 9 and represents the level of water protection the device offers (higher numbers are better)
Based on this scale (and according to the IEC), the DOOGEE T5 should offer full dust protection and water protection when submerged in up to 1 meter of water for a 30 minute duration.
Considering its Rugged design, i would expect even better protection from this smartphone, but is has been certified as IP67 so any other test that doesn't meet this spec. then it would be at your own risk.​

Also, for those who are interested, the DG700 (practically the device on which the T5 is based on) is now even more discounted than before (because its successor is near the door), but this is a limit offer until this weekend.
The DOOGEE T5 is kind of upgraded version of the DG700, which also combined the 3-proofing with the similar luxury appearance. The back cover has two choices, the crocodile texture calfskin and lambskin.
This is the DOOGEE DG700 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/doogee-titans-2-dg700-unboxing-hands-t2953664
If you can’t wait for the T5, you can buy a DG700 first because that's still a good device that shares many features.​

Giveaway from DOOGEE!
https://www.facebook.com/doogee.cc/posts/992293610883459
DOOGEE is waiting for your creative slogan for T5. The slogan can be humorous or poetic, but brief. They will giveaway 3 different gifts (one is the T5).
Follow the FB link and write your slogan
Time Limit: July 29 - August 14 (2016 of course)​

Finally it is Official!
The DOOGEE T5 will be launched on the 15th of August on DOOGEE's Official Website, where there will be a voting activity with the theme "The businessport phone, which style would you like?". Anyone can vote by choosing the Business T5 or the Sporty T5.
As a first round, it will be available on all official licensed stores, that can be found on the DOOGEE's website, then it will be also available on eBay & Amazon starting from mid-September.
Features:
Dual Style & IP67
The DOOGEE T5 is the world's first phone that combines dual appearance with IP67. It provides two appearances to be changed in seconds, and the relevant UI as well. Reaching IP67 rate, it means that it proofs water, dust and pressure.
13Mpix with PDAF, a Flagship Camera
Normal tri-proof phones do not perform well as regards photo quality, except the DOOGEE T5. 13Mpix Samsung Rear Camera with PDAF and 5Mpix Front Camera offer an outstanding shooting experience.
Comparison between DG700 & T5:
The DOOGEE T5 is a kind of upgraded version of the DG700. Compared to the quad-core CPU used in the DG700, the 8x 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processors of the T5 highly increases the performance.
The DG700 has 5Mpix front camera and 8Mpix rear camera, while the T5 has 5Mpix front camera and 13Mpix rear camera with PDAF.
Compared with the 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM of the DG700, the T5 has 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, and the 32GB ROM memory can be expanded up to 64GB. You can keep all your stuff.
Last, but not least, compared with the 4000mAh battery of the DG700, the T5 has 4500mAh battery and 5V/2A fast charge.

Yesterday price on Doogee T5 price reduced to 205$ in this store goo.gl/wtBzMn although the announced price was 230$.

Notification LED?!
Does this phone have a notification LED?
I've been asking in different forums and even the licensed reseller stores, I still don't have an answer! ... It's still a pre-order item.
I held off buying the Blackview BV6000 because of this issue, no notification LED, how can a manufacturer miss this small, yet purposely vital feature?!

I'll receive it next week so I'll let you know soon, but I think it doesn't have it. Check the DOOGEE video where they tested its waterproof capabilities, in the Settings menu (shown in this video) it should be shown if present.

I mean, check that video, they are showing you the Settings Menu after they take the device from Water (i remember that), so check if in that menu there is any kind of indication to the Notification Light or something similar. (unfortunately there isn't a specific menu name, MTK devices are a bit weird about this)
My reply wasn't too clear, but it wasn't neither so hard to understand...someone needs to calm down it seems...

Development & Support thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/doogee-t5-development-support-t3445982

Doogee released a video of production process for T5:
Probably the best spec of this T5 is the IP67 certification and shock proof integrated frame/case:

I got the device some days ago and yeah it is pretty good.
The chassis is pretty well made, Android works extremely smooth and I haven't faced any issue yet with it. Only the back cover management isn't perfect (if you change the cover/style, the UI theme gets automatically changed, but not always).
As usual, I'll provide you a review of the device soon.

Introduction
This is the businessport DOOGEE T5 Review.
Hardware
This device is powered by a Mediatek MT6753 SOC clocked at 1.3GHz, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM. It shares the same classic Rear Camera sensor used by the Redmi 3 Pro (13MP Samsung S5K3L8 with PDAF) while the Front Camera sensor is a 5MP OmniVision OV5648. The manufacturer of the Screen isn't known yet, but it is pretty good and super bright. Follow my next paragraphs to know more.
Unboxing
Packaging comes with an huge amount of accessories, including 2 different back covers and frames for Dual Appearance: 1x Plastic Screen Protector, 1x OTG Cable, 1x SIM/MicroSD tray Eject Tool, 1x Micro-USB Cable, 1x 5V/2A USB Charger, 1x Quick Start Guide, and the Smartphone (of course).
As already said before, you will find 2 appearances in order to customize your Device's Style depending on the environment (or the tastes why not). I'll talk about this in one of the next paragraph.
The device has a Rugged Chassis, that mixes Metal, Plastic and Rubber for the best protection possible. Do not forget that this is IP67 Certified, so you can have fun with it without having to worry about its, and probably yours too, safety.
It feels super solid, the best made device i have ever tried as regards build quality. As certified by DOOGEE, and following IP67 protection, it is water-proof (up to 1 meter), dust-proof and pressure-proof. Let's say it, it is also kid-proof haha.
Being a rugged device you can't expect compact sizes, but it is lighter than another device i have tried some months ago that wasn't rugged (CUBOT H2), so DOOGEE did a great job as regards its build quality.
It is 15.37x7.84x1.37mm (using the Sporty Cover, because that's what i like most) and it weights 223g, again not too much considering that it is rugged.
On the front side there is the Standard Display, no 2.5D or anything similar, with big bezels. The upper front side of the device features a Front-Facing Camera, an Earpiece with a nice Silver Frame, and the Sensors hole that includes Light, Proximity and Gesture Sensors. No Notification LED is here unfortunately.
On the lower front side there is only the Soft Keys zone, with Menu, Home and Back buttons. As you might notice, on the upper & lower areas of the device there is a Glossy Finiture, that's the block where the ports are hidden just behind.
On the back side it's where the magic happens. Dual Back Covers, and everytime you change the back cover also the UI gets automatically changed. (basically an automatic theme switch)
The upper rear side of the device features the Samsung Camera Sensor supported by a Single (the Quick Start guide says Dual, but i can only see one) Rounded Flash (Single-Tone) configuration, and nothing else.
The lower rear side of the device features the huge speaker hole, that allows the huge internal speaker to output audio at maximum volume.
Device
DIY Instructions/Demostration (T5 Exclusive!)
So, if you are one of my followers you might have noticed this neverseen paragragh in this review. This device explains why. Being the only one that allows you to change between two styles, i thought that a demostration or anything else about it might be interesting for you all.
Starting from the Screwdriver required to handle the whole process, just imagine which type you need. Yes, a T5 Screwdriver haha.
Anyway, as regards the screws there are two used types, with different size. The longest type is used only with the Sporty sides, while the standard/shorter type is used with the Business sides.
My recommendation is to not use the Screwdriver provided in the package, because it isn't good and i managed to destroy it with just a few usages. This is the only negative aspect i have noticed about the kit.
Use your own Screwdriver, and it will provide you best results without having to worry about its safety.
As you might probably think, is it possible to mix the styles? My reply is: YES! This is what a did to my T5. Business Sides with Sporty Back Cover, providing best protection while leaving the sporty design.
If you want to know more info about this paragraph, just leave here a post and i will reply you.
Screen
The screen is pretty good, super bright but there is a small (barely noticeable) backlight bleeding on the left corner.
Light Sensor works pretty well and it supports smooth light changes. This is the maximum screen brightness.
Viewing Angles are perfect, comparable to an AMOLED screen. (excluding the IPS limitations)
Camera
Rear Camera is a pretty good Samsung ISOCELL, so it provides some nice quality photos on almost every condition. More photos (such as outdoor ones) coming soon, i have a cold right now...
Flashlight isn't perfect, but it is pretty powerful. As you can see, it is a just a bit under-positioned compared to the Camera Sensor. It might be an engineering sample issue maybe, i don't know.
As regards Video Recording, 1080p videos (Video Quality – Fine) are recorded with an high level of details, just remember that there is no OIS so you can’t expect stable videos.
Front Camera records decent photos, and it seems to be a wide-angle variant. Selfie-lovers will appreciate it.
Audio
Speaker is how nearly as good as you would expect from a rugged device. Decently-Loud! Well it lacks low-frequencies a bit, it is slightly muffled maybe due to its waterproof protection but its volume is high.
In-Call Quality is near-excellent, finally an earpiece where there isn't the usual low-clarity sound. Loud (maybe also a bit too much), and with good clarity.
As regards the Microphone, it works decently well in any case (in-call, VOIP, etc...).
The Audio Department has been accurately enough designed, so i thank DOOGEE for taking care about this.
Telephony, Mobile Network & WiFi
Thanks to the 4G Band 20 support (some other Chinese Smartphones don’t have it), I’m almost always and everywhere connected to the 4G Network of my Mobile Network Provider (TIM Italy).
Also 3G Signal Reception is accurate, even though some 3G frequencies are missing, maybe my engineering sample will get other frequencies with an update, who knows.
4G Network Speed is pretty good, it highly depends on your Mobile Operator and mine isn’t pretty good. While 3G Network Speed, is just fine as it should.
WiFi 5GHz isn't supported here, so only 2.4GHz WiFi speed can be tested. I managed to get connected to my network connection at 65mbps, and Speed Tests reached more or less 41mbps.
Battery Life (do not rely on my test)
I have measured the real battery capacity using my USB Tester, and its capacity is a bit lower than declared. Declared 4500mAh, Real ~4310mAh. (190mAh missing, nothing serious).
The Geekbench Battery Test provided some nice results, and the software used on my device isn't 100% ready-to-use so will probably get even better with next updates.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/383660
Software
The Software is completely clean, with an almost complete Nexus-like experience. As all latest devices, it is running Android 6.0 Marshmallow with some minor customizations and some extra-apps installed such as "Bagan Keyboard", "Xender", "Documents to Go" and "Parallel Space". Don't worry though, they can be disabled.
As every DOOGEE device, also this one has the usual Settings App with Black Background. Also, following other Mediatek devices, Gestures are here.
The Theme Management is easy to use, just go to the Wallpaper Chooser and you will be redirected to the Themes app. Useful if you want to switch between the Business & Sporty UIs without having to worry about the installed back cover.
Also, there is a Magnetometer/Compass here, but lacks a Gyroscope & Barometer.
There isn't anything else special about the software. It runs super smooth thanks to its HD-Only display, always responsive and there are always more than 2 GB of Free RAM on idle.
Benchmarks
I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 3, GFXBench, PCMark (Work & Storage) 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 – GPU Performance is better than other MT6753 devices, but still low on OpenGL 3.0 & 3.1 tests. You can’t expect something better, this is still a mid-range GPU.
Other 3DMark tests can be found on my Imgur album linked at the bottom of the thread.
AndroBench – eMMC Performance is good, especially as regards Reading Speed. Writing Speed isn’t as good as other devices though, maybe it requires a little software update, anyway still high enough to handle almost every task.
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 – As you can see, 3D performance is pretty high. 3D Games will run with no issues at all.
GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (8x Cortex-A53), enough to handle almost every type of activity.
PCMark – As you can see, only Writing score is a bit low compared to other scores. Pretty good.
Work
Storage
Even if this device is still running a not-so-new MT6753 CPU, it still performs well and the HD-Only screen helps the GPU to provide best performance everywhere. As i always say, with an MT6753 the HD-Only display works best.
Conclusions
DOOGEE did a great job with this device, probably the only Rugged device that doesn't have an ugly chassis or anything bad. Together with the DIY fun, it confirms that it is also a different device than others. It provides nice performance, great screen quality and a good camera creating a good combination of aspects.
I might have expected a better CPU, but it would have increased its price so it is good as is. Cheap enough, solid and fun.
So, do I recommend it? If you are searching for a Rugged Device, or for a different device that everyone can notice being unique, then Yes! Of course if you are searching for a slim or anything else, then this isn't for you.
Pros:
Super-Bright Screen
Solid and Well-Made
IP67 Certified
Compass/Magnetometer Sensor
DIY Style with 2 Appearances
Nice Camera Quality
Smooth and Lightweight Android OS
RUGGED!
Cons:
Flashlight is a bit under-positioned
Speaker Output is a bit muffled
No Gyroscope & Barometer
No WiFi 5GHz Support
Rating: 8.9
Packaging and Accessories: 9.5 (just because Headsets are not included)

DOOGEE T5 Lite - Lite version of the T5 is coming, at the official price of 100USD
All the features of T5 Lite are same of the T5 that DOOGEE launched on 15th August.
T5 and T5 lite allow users to enjoy DIY fun as their main feature on both device is the dual-appearance. One of the appearance features a crocodile textured back cover and the other one is a sporty PolyCarbonate back cover. Further more, their inner UI automatically changes while the outer shell are replaced.
Although T5 Lite will be sold at only 100USD (Official Price), half of the T5 Price, it still provides the cool and useful IP67 certification, which means that it can proof water, dust and pressure.
The main differences between the models are in the processor, memory and camera departments. The T5 Lite is Quad-Core (maybe MT6735?) with 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, 5Mpix OmniVision front camera, 8Mpix SONY IMX219 rear camera. Everything else is exactly the same as on the T5.
So, for those for are not searching for such high performance of the T5, a cheaper Lite version will be great.​

it is 5.0 Inch,I like big screen, I like VKworld T1 Plus ，The 6-inch JDI LTPS display brings unlimited viewing experience, vivid color, wide viewing angle.

This handset of VKWORLD looks very stylish. It is super slim with 7.9 mm thick structure.
You cannot remove the battery but how often an average user does that...There are on protruding or discomforting details on the back of T1 Plus Kratos only all what you want. The back 13MP Sony camera is on the upper side in the center, and right under there is a flash and comfortably below the fast fingerprint scanner which personally I could miss. The whole 7000 series aluminium unibody is nicely fitted with plastic on both sides of T PLUS KRATOS covering the necessary antennas.
T1 Plus Kratos looks great with 7000 series type aluminum and very decorative metal pins holding the elegant construction.
The build of the device is flawless. The phone is firm and it does not bend.
Dimensions: 159.5 x 81.7 x 7.9 mm
Color: gray, gold, rose-gold
VKworld T1 PLUS KRATOS offers dual sim tray solution. Easy to use .
The back piece and aluminum sides shun fingerprints and scratches.
The phone is easy to grab and hold, thanks to the rounded edges.
Standard +- volume rocker is placed on the left side, Power rocker on the right side. Above the Power rocker there is a SIM tray which opens after pressing with a included pin.
On the top of the phone, we can find a standard 3.5 audio jack for you to enjoy your favorite music.
The USB port is at the bottom of the device, alongside with the speakers.
DISPLAY
The 6-inch screen of Vkworld T1 Plus Kratos is coming with 5-point-touch.
The screen body ratio is as high as 83%.
The screen utilizes only a small amount of battery capacity of the device with accurate color saturation and wide viewing angle. It can cover 90% NTSC color gamut and can maintain 178-degree viewing angle.
The VKWorld T1 Plus Kratos delivers the Touch On Lens technology. When compared to OGS full lamination, TOL full lamination has more advantages. It requires more precise and accurate technologies so as to strengthen the external glass on the surface of the smartphone screen. Besides, it can transfer more light for a better vivid quality screen. But the price of the TOL full lamination is much higher than the OGS.
The JDI LTPS (Low-Temperature Poly-Silicon) technology makes the screen on T1 Plus Kratos much faster and brighter with comparatively better quality than the previous models. The JDI display is thinner than the normal LCD displays which have a great hand in the slimness of the smartphone.
VKWorld T1 Kratos comes with Corning Gorilla Glass technology and the 2.5D curve of the screen can provide a better user experience when swiping on the screen. The 2.5D glass completely joining the metallic body.
VKWorld has dramatically rearranged the structure of the screen to implement anti- blue light protection and modified the essential material of LED backlight, phosphorus powder, which makes the peak wavelength of blue light change from 444nm to 460nm. This dramatic change reduces the blue light emerging from the screen up to 90%! In addition, VKWorld also pre-installs a customized software on the smartphone to further reduce harmful blue light from the smartphone screen.
VKWorld T1 Plus Kratos is coming with the Oleophobic coating which is well known in resisting the finger marks on the screen. It can dissolve most fingerprint marks and grease from hands and keep the smartphone screen clean.
All in all, the 6-inch display is the most important thing in the VKWorld T1 Plus Kratos coming with so many advanced technologies. It is expected that this would be one of the best screen oriented smartphones from VKWorld warehouse.
Pixel density is 320dpi. Display technology used gives more natural colors and a unique user experience considering the screen colors.
The colors are quite vivid and natural. Being a solid SHARP display, viewing angles are excellent with little to no color and contrast changes when viewing from extreme angles. Viewing angles are good and the screen is readable even in direct sunlight.
The sensory buttons are placed on the display which makes the display 10mm smaller which I do not like very much since it makes the actual display smaller, 6 inch you have only while watching video.
The sensory buttons are therefore good visible in daylight as well as at night.
The response of the digitizer is really good. It reacts even on gentle touches with fast and precise response. The digitizer is really extra in this case. The auto-brightness setting works quite fine. T1 Plus Kratos deserves the PLUS for the display quality.
PERFORMANCE & STORAGE
Overall performance is average considering the MT6735M and 2GB RAM & it is self-evident on the AnTuTu Benchmark of 21491 which I do for the fun of benchmark fans but which is not to be relied on very much.
AndroBench eMMC performance is above good for the price range of T1 PLUS KRATOS especially in regard to Reading Speed of above 189 MB/s. For everyday tasks even Write Speed of above 9 MB/s is quit high considering models of other manufacturers.
SENSORS
Accelerometer, Light, Proximity, gyroscope
Vkworld T1 Plus has an advanced gyroscope for VR tasks.
VKWORLD T1 PLUS KRATOS GPS
I have made the GPS test inside the house and outside.
The first cold lock on the VKworld T1 PLUS Kratos took less than 20 seconds, and subsequent locks were instantly fast at 5 seconds.
SNR is good, with satellites bumping up into the low 30 at times.
VKworld T1 PLUS Kratos supports GPS and A-GPS. It is good for Google maps and Here Maps. It is faster and more precise than most GPS on handsets with MT6737 and MT6580.
NETWORK
VKworld T1 PLUS Kratoshas 4G support LTE CAT. 4 with speed up to 150Mbps
It has MT6735M and WCDMA 900MHz is available.
Network :
2G: GSM:850/900/1800/1900
3G: WCDMA:850/900/1900/2100
4G: FDD:800/1800/2100/2600 (1/3/7/20)
CAMERA
The rear camera has an older but good 8 MP SONY IMX219 which is used already with success in many handsets.
Selfie camera is 5MP GC5005.
The photos made with Sony IMX 219 are of an average quality for that sensor. Natural colors but a bit of too much grain is visible probably to correct with next OTA. Focus in ROM 2016/12/17 is fast enough, standard settings camera with detecting the face or smile as an option.
OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) & UI
The all new Vkworld T1 PLUS KRATOS runs on Android 6 Marshmallow.
Android 6 Marshmallow is energy efficient. A standard user will quickly find his way while using this device and the overall user experience is at its top. There are almost none bloat-ware apps pre-installed. You have to install what you need from Google Play.
But AdupsFota reported as malware present
Another important thing about T1 Plus Kratos is it packs the brand-new fingerprint scanner from FPC which is a well-known company to provide fingerprint modules for many big mobile brands around the world. The scanner on T1 Plus Kratos can unlock the phone within 0.3 second. And it can also do more than just unlocking. It has many practical functions:
* Camera: In the camera interface, you can touch the sensor to take photo. It serves as a alternative camera shutter;
* Gallery: Swipe right or left to switch pictures;
* Phone call: When someone is calling, you can just tap the sensor to answer the phone
BATTERY
T1 Plus Kratos has 4300 mAh SONY battery with PumpExpress fast charge support offering you 30 hours of talk time and outstanding 70 days standby time
I have made a test of draining with light use, The battery offers then 4 days of standby time.
When switched to video browsing and talking it is good for 2 days.
SOUND
Sound chamber is behind the right grid. Volume is typical for this price range but max settings produce audible distortions. It should be corrected.
Quality of sound during GSM 4G & 3G calls is remarkable GOOD
PROS
* Stylish Design of 7000 Aluminum
* Fingerprint ID
* Super cameras at the front 13 MP SONY IMX 219 and back 8MP GC5005
* 4G connectivity
* Dual SIM dual standby
* User-friendly UI with min bloatware
* Low Price Tag
CONS
* HD screen resolution on 6 inch handset but still looks great
* Quad-core processor MT 6735 1 GHz as an alternative of an Octa-Core Chip
* On screen control buttons make the screen smaller
VERDICT
The Vkworld T1 Plus KRATOS is a 4G affordable phablet available for a pretty low price tag for all those users who will admire superb screen and very fast gyroscope. VKworld T1 PLUS KRATOS provides build quality that only top brands can give.
Personally, I think the manufacturer has made a massive job, and the Vkworld T1 Plus seems a gorgeous handset phablet, truly.

Bluboo Picasso 4G / NFC /MT6735 / 2GB 16GB /Review / Photos / TWRP

According to rumours Bluboo prepared their model Picasso for an upgraded version. the Bluboo Picasso 4G.
Review of Bluboo Picasso 4G NFC
The all new Bluboo Picasso 4G NFC hits the budget smartphone market this month. When it comes to phones that are affordable, I think I can predict that Bluboo Picasso 4G NFC with LTE will be the top entry level smartphone, cheap enough for everyone�s pocket. Probably 5 USD more than Bluboo Picasso
As we can expect from a Chinese manufacturer of this class, all of the necessary requirements are wrapped up in this ultra-budget model experience.
HARDWARE
https://postimage.org/
MTK6735P chipset
64bit quad-core 1.0GHz
GPU: Mali-720
2GB RAM +16GB ROM
Picasso 4G has a removable battery 2800mAh
2 MICRO SIM-slots and a TF SD expansion slot.
Camera main 13MP Sony IMX219 sensor
Camera front 8MP GC 5005 sensor
4G
NFC.
It�s not the best CPU but an older MediaTek MT6735P running at 1.0 GHz on 4 cores.
For most day-to-day tasks this works absolutely fine with moving between menus, opening & closing apps all feeling fast and responsive.
The 2GB of RAM is also a nice to see
It also sports the fairly new efficient Mali-720 GPU .
DESIGN
The Bluboo Picasso 4G is all plastic, but looks great with the sides brushed to make it appear as brushed metal, and it�s not possible to tell that it�s plastic unless looking very closely.
Edges are rounded, which is an attractive design solution nowadays. On the back side, we can see the rear camera and the Bulboo company logo below. The artistic back side is the proof of modern technology used in manufacturing process.
The back cover resembles the Asus Zenfone Deluxe in style, with triangular / diamond sections carrying a subtly lined texture. It is pleasant in touch and you get a nice scratch sound when running a nail back and forth as if confirming nice and firm quality of material. The back cover snaps in firm and some fairly serious pressure needs to be applied to the last few snaps.
Bluboo did again a great job designing the Picasso 4G. The back piece and sides shun fingerprints and scratches. The biggest surprise of the Bluboo is that it has no capacitive buttons. Instead, it has on-screen virtual buttons which means that you lose some of the actual screen place taken by the on-screen buttons. A benefit to this is that you don�t need backlit buttons to use the phone at night but I�m personally still not a fan of this solution.
There is a small, unobtrusive notification LED in the upper left corner.
Standard volume rockers and the power button are placed on the right side, which is a standard positioning considering the modern design. The volume and power buttons give a slight audible click when used.
https://postimage.org/
On the top of the phone, we can find a standard 3.5 audio jack for you to enjoy your favorite music.
The USB port is at the bottom of the device, alongside with the speakers.This model comes in a variety of colors.
https://postimage.org/
You can choose your favorite color from the list to match your phone with your character. As I said before, the overall impressions are quite attractive and a regular user will enjoy every moment while using the all new Bluboo Picasso. 4G NFC.
DISPLAY
The display packs a 5-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels (HD). Pixel density is 320 dpi, which is an average pixel per inch density considering the models released in this year. Display technology used is IPS, and this solution gives more natural colors and a unique user experience considering the screen colors.
The colors are quite vivid and natural. IPS technology is quite popular today and almost every model uses this type of display. Being a solid IPS display, viewing angles are excellent with little to no color and contrast changes when viewing from extreme angles.
The display is 2 point touch.

Performance & Storage
The heart of Bluboo Picasso 4G NFCl is its Quad-core processor clocked at the speed of 1.1 GHz. Chipset used is Mediatek MT6735P , and RAM memory capacity is 2 GB. If you want to enjoy playing games, this phone will provide a decent gaming experience. Internal storage capacity is 16 GB. After the system has taken up it�s share we�re left with about 12GB free and if this is not enough for you, there is an option for expanding the storage capacity with a microSD card up to 64GB giving you a total of 74GB of usable memory should you need it.
Overall performance is quite decent considering the price range, and on the pictures below you can see a live gaming performance and the AnTuTu Benchmark of 20633.
AndroBench eMMC performance is sufficient for basic everyday tasks even write speed is quit high considering other manufacturers models
Connectivity

Bluetooth: 4.0

The first cold lock on the Bluboo Picasso took 3 minute 15 seconds, but subsequent locks were snappy at 5-10 seconds.
SNR is quite good, with satellites bumping up into the low 30-40 �s times during bad weather test.
Camera
Dual camera system is incorporated in the new Bluboo Picasso 4G model. The rear camera has 13 MP SONY IMX219 used already with success in Bluboo Maya, backed with a Dual LED Flash for your best pictures in the dark. If you enjoy taking selfies this model is definitely for you since the front camera also has 8 MP GC5005. This feature is above average considering other affordable models. In the pictures below you will see the image sample captured with the new Bluboo Picasso 4G.
The camera on the Bluboo Picasso is 13MP and shots could use a little brightening, but beyond that photos are really good. Sony IMX219 sensor ensures for a quality beyond $70 USD mobile phone so it is better than I expected. The Picasso 4G camera produces beyond adequate images for social sharing but with little tendency to sepia which I hope engineers of Bluboo can correct in future updates
Operating System (OS)
The all new Bluboo Picasso 4G runs on Android 6 Marshmallow, which is energy efficient. A standard user will quickly find his way while using this device and the overall user experience is at its top.
Battery
New Bluboo Picasso 4G has 2800mAh battery which is up form 2500mAh in Picasso. The battery is removable and with considering Picasso 4G uses MT6735 at 1.0Ghz it will last longer than in the previous model. To prevent shutting down of your device, recharging on a daily basis is inevitable. For a modest usage however you can expect to have a full day of battery life.
In our list below you can see the arranged qualities and flaws of this handset.
Pros
* Affordable price
* Excellent Back camera 13 MP Sony IMX219.
* Nice pictures quality
* Elegant design
* Game-play performance
* Front camera 8MP

Camera Performance: Bluboo Picasso 4G vs Bluboo Picasso
Camera performance is of increasing importance to users who are interested in the mobile photography.
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Bluboo Mobile optimizes essential aspects including camera performance for brand new Picasso 4G based on the Bluboo Picasso model.
So compare to previous Bluboo Picasso, what are the advantages of the upcoming Picasso 4G regarding to camera performance?
Recently, a set of photos taken with Picasso 4G and Picasso are leaked, let’s take a closer look.
It’s known that new Bluboo Picasso 4G is equipped with the rear camera sporting 13 Mpix resolution and the front camera with 8 Mpix resolution, while Bluboo Picasso have 8.0 MP for both rear and front camera. Higher pixel makes Picasso 4G have superior resolving power to produce more colorful and detailed photos. And the auto-focus speed of Picasso 4G is improved by 20%. Besides, Picasso 4G uses custom-made Sony sensor while Picasso adopts the Panasonic sensor. Advanced sensor guarantee lower noise and clearer quality for images.
Compare to Picasso, the Bluboo Picasso 4G also features several new camera functions. Both of the rear and front camera could recognize face automatically, which could help capture facial expressions rapidly. The front camera could automatically choose the beauty level to beautify the images. What’s more, with 35mm focus, Picasso 4G could shoot with wide angle. It’s worth mentioning that with NFC technology, one could share your photos with your friends at ease.
The released date and price for Bluboo Picasso 4G have not been confirmed yet, so we have to wait for the official announcement.
Bluboo Maya Max is seen currently on sale for $99.99, when the snapping up event ends the retail price will go up to $159.99.

No problems with stagefright vulnerability checked by Lookout

Try another app for stagefright, like zimperium stagefright detector.. It's better for new vulnerability
Sent by Mi5 64Gb

I can post every screenshot of every apk for testing it but what will it change?

the changes are only for who care about latest stagefright vulnerabilities..
I test always with latest version on zimperion Sstagefright detector that is always updated with latest discovered vulnerability..
If you say that is not stagefright vulnerable, is not correct if you have used only the lookout app you put in the screenshot.
thanks

Bluboo Picasso 4G has 13MP camera with Sony IMX 219 sensor.
Short test photos:
As you can see colors are very natural and vivid, photos are very detailed

Leaked exclusive renders
With the increasing demand for better visual experience, this year numerous smartphone manufacturers have released their smartphones with larger-size screen. Chinese mobile manufactures, Bluboo Mobile just launched their 6.0 inch Maya Max, and now a set of pictures of their upcoming smartphone named Bluboo Mini are exposed.
The new Bluboo Mini comes with 4.5’’ qHD IPS 960x540 display. From the exposed pictures, we can find the device is really small, exquisite and would fit perfectly well in your hand. Bluboo declared that the new Bluboo Mini would not compromise on visual performance with smaller display, and would produce vivid and colorful images
Stayed tuned for further news about Bluboo Mini.
Bluboo Mini Review
It is a comeback to 4.5 inch smartphones.
Mini is an addition to the Bluboo line of budget phones and is a strong contender in the market for those consumers that seek a phone with a high visual impact and low price and good hardware features.
Bluboo Mini is packed in white carton box which contains Mini, charger & cable, Warranty and user manual.
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
The Bluboo Mini is all plastic structure with plastic frame metal electroplated effect on the sides which gives an elegant and unique image.
Design is attractive with the unique geometric texture of the back cover with white，black，red and blue for options. Mini build gives an elegant impression. The build of the device is solid, The phone is firm and it doesn’t bend.
Bluboo did a good job designing budget smartphone Mini with an appeal of upper class.
Standard volume rocker and the power button made of plastic are placed on the right side, which is a standard. The back cover has a nice cool looking pattern of chick plastic very aesthetic in handling in four colors white, red, black and blue.
On the back which I find not very practical there is speaker chamber.
DISPLAY
The display packs a 4. 5-inch qHD IPS 960x540. Screen Density good for an general phone on 240dpi.
Pixel density is average. Display gives more natural colors and display is very bright for a budget phone. Much better than in many Doogee and Homtom competitors.
The colors are quite vivid and natural. Viewing angles are excellent with little to no color and contrast changes when viewing from extreme angles. Viewing angles are good and the screen is readable even in direct sunlight. The control buttons are not back-lit but they are good visible in daylight.
The display is 2 point multi- touch.
The response of the digitizer is really good. It reacts even on gentle touches with fast and precise response. The auto-brightness setting works quite fine.
PERFORMANCE & STORAGE
Bluboo Mini Hardware features:
* MT 6580 1.3 GHz
* Mali 400 GPU
* 5MP main camera (interpolated to 8 MP) GC 5005
* 2 MP front camera (interpolated to 5MP) GC 2365
* 4.5 inch display qHD IPS 960x540 resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 4
* battery 1850 mAh
* 1 GB RAM
* 8 GB of storage
* 3G
* Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the OS
* 1 x Full size SIM 1x Mini SIM
* SD card up to 264GB
The heart of Bluboo Mini is Quad-core processor MT6580 clocked at the speed of 1.3 GHz.
MTK 400 GPU .
RAM memory capacity is 1 GB.
Internal storage capacity is 8 GB from which 4.6 GB is free with SD card expansion slot up to 264GB.
AndroBench – eMMC performance is very average especially in regard to Random Write of just 1 MB/s.
Antutu Benchmark results.
Overall performance is about average considering the 50USD price range it is self-evident on the AnTuTu Benchmark of 22227 which I do for the fun of benchmark fans but which is not to be relied on very much.
BlLUBOO MINI GPS
I have made the GPS test outside the house.
The first cold lock on the Bluboo mini took more than 5 minutes, and subsequent locks took far too long
No 3D fix with 2D fix hard to get. GPS of Mini is not to be used with a navigation at least not mine unit.
Mini supports GPS and A-GPS no Glonass . .
NETWORK
Band (3G): WCDMA 900/2100 MHz
Band (3G): WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz
Mini has 3G support. No 4G and no LTE
SENSORS
CAMERA
The rear camera has 5 MP GC 5005 used already with success in many budget phones
Photos are of an average quality and details
Above I include a sample.
If you enjoy taking selfies this model is definitely not for you since the front camera also has 2 MP GC 2365 camera. This interpolated to 5MP selfie camera is really average. Just adequate images for social sharing.
OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)
The all new Bluboo Mini runs on Android 6 Marshmallow with Phenix Launcher, which is energy efficient. A standard user will quickly find his way while using this device and the overall user experience is at its top. There are few bloat-ware apps pre-installed which after rooting can be removed. No spontaneous restart occurred to me during the review. Everything is running smoothly.
The system has a set of smart gestures.
BATTERY
1850 mAh is just enough for daily task since Mini has 4.5 display and energy efficient MT6580 and Android 6.0
SOUND
An average sound during the media playing due to sound chamber at the back of the phone.
Good quality of sound during GSM and Wifi calls.
In my list below you can see the arranged qualities and flaws of this handset.
PROS
• Back camera 5 MP GC5005
• Elegant plastic with electroplated metal effect on the sides and chick geometric pattern
• Battery of 1850mAh
* 256GB expansion for SD card
* qHD display with 2 point multi-touch
CONS
* Old 3G CPU
* no HD screen
* lack of etui in the box
CONCLUSION
The whole configuration of Bluboo Mini seems quite decent and could satisfy the essential needs of users. Bluboo offers Minii at 49 USD so they kept their promise when mentioned that it would be more affordable than ever.
