It will work only when you have 2100mhz 3G coverage then.
Ordered mine last week from Doogee official store Aliexpress, the phone is selling like hot cake ? right now. I hope it lives up to the bidding.
I just needed a cheap phone that can carry a power user one full day with out charging or with quick charge option and this one fit in.
Will do an unboxing video and possibly upload the stock Rom backup (from SP flash tool)

It's not carrier based. It's unlocked to work in any carrier that uses the specified frequencies of the phone.
The OP has already stated those frequencies.

Hi OP,
Does this phone have a dual sim setup? or a single sim?
And and External SD card Support?

Dual SIM with MicroSD slot, but you can't use two SIMs and a MicroSD in the same time. 1x SIM Card + MicroSD or 2x SIM Cards.
My first time buying a Doogee phone and was impressed at the battery capacity. Waiting for the phone to arrive now and hope that it lives up to its hype. I hope there will be some developments on XDA regarding flashing custom ROMs especially with Android O coming along. I do not know what is Doogee's policy on software updates but I have little hope about this phone receiving an Android O update in the future. What do the experienced Doogee buyers think?
Will there be any developement in xda for this phone ?I want to buy this phone but i always try to buy those phone which has a good response in xda developement.
Is the phone worth buying or is it crap?
Just received my BL5000 through mail today. The phone looks beautiful. I got the black variant as I like a full black front. Its running Android 7.0 and I received a software update from Doogee immediately upon activation. Hope this is a good sign that updates will keep up.
The UI is snappy with almost stock android experience with the Doogee UI launcher. Nothing really useful in my opinion and will swap it to Nova Launcher Prime later. Been playing a bit with the camera. With indoor shots, the camera's Blur Mode looks disappointing as the edges are not differentiated properly from the background. But it's a cheap phone so did'nt really expect much from the camera. As I use it further the next few days,will share what I think.
Hope that XDA can have a specific forum just for Doogee BL 5000 cause I feel that it has some potential.
I just got mine yesterday and I'm switching from an S7. So far I'm impressed with everything. $180 is hella cheap.
Review coming soon.
Only thing I need is root.

The camera is it's weakest aspect. The blur mode is really useless. The secondary camera is not even used for taking a picture. U can try to block the bottom camera and it makes no difference except during blur mode where it will tell you not to cover it. S7 camera has one of the best among all
Other than that, it's a good phone. I installed nova launcher to replace the Doogee launcher.
Been posting lots of stuff in the official Doogee forums and hardly any official replies. This phone company has the worst customer service I have encountered. Do not buy phones from this company if u expect any customer support at all.
Doogee BL5000 Camera Review
I've spent about a week with the BL5000 and I actually rather like it The screen is the thickest I've ever seen and it gives the whole phone a strange bubble effect. Most phone mention that they're 2.5D but the BL5000 definitely is! It has an aquarium-like quality... in a good way XD
The screen it super bright and it works fine in direct sunlight. The speakers are better than I was expecting. No notification LED, which will be a big no for some.
It's a beast 208 grams, but you're getting decent battery life. Has anyone else had problems getting AccuBattery to work?
I've put up a full Flickr album of photos if anyone is interesting in seeing how the Dual Cameras perform.

Thank you for the review. What do you think about the dual camera setup? The blur mode I think is very disappointing. The secondary camera is not even used to take a photo.
And can you clarify the size of the battery with an app? People were saying that the battery size was actually 4500mAh and not 5050mAh as advertised by Doogee.

Hey all
The Asus ZenPhone Zoom offers similar specifications to the ZenPhone 2, but with a beefed up camera offering 3x optical zoom. Is this enough for our members to pay the premium?

Asus website lists the zoom's aperture at f/2.7 - f/4.8 for variable aperture. I wonder what the sensor size is?
No hdmi,or ir deal breaker in my book.. The specs are off the chart why slack on the essentials..
very interesting from ASUS, loving both zenphone2 and the zoom(more towards the zoom for the juicy cam it got)...
screen looks good enough
speakers well... look traditional which is very boring.. expecting tiny low sound from them
cpu is new and thats fresh.. hope its not a battery hog when pushed hard enough
i have never dealt with the company in any way...
any users out there wanna give a few pointers as to how they operate in regards to their smartphones and firmware?
coming from a dead lg g2, currently on a sony Z3 and hating it to the fullest (except for its 3000mAh batt and SOT)
plans were to wait for the lg g4 but this is intriguing.. price is right, need to test 1 before confirming anything but the launch is a bit late for the competition

Sorry for off topic but can you elaborate on the Z3 hating? I was thinking about getting one of those.

well TBH... its working good and nothing bad really with the factory rom.
some signal issues where its having a hard time staying on 4g-LTE compared to LG-g2 and galaxy s5.. even on 3g it would drop to 2g when those 2 would have a strong 3g connection
connection speed is good when it feels like it but feels like its being throttled when you have a few apps using the internet at the same time.. for example i have 2 bbm apps running at the same time, whatsapp, instagram, snapchat...
instagram wouldnt load as fast as it should be and same goes for snapchat... it just feels slower compared to the other two phones i mentioned..
loud speaker on calls only uses the 1 of the 2 speakers, which makes it completly useless, but theres a mod to fix that without boosting the max volume value
i always had better luck with cm-aosp but things are moving painfully slow in the development section, cm12 is in nightly stages with an 80% complete build with a few bugs still not ironed out so that ruins it for being a daily driver.
managed to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader which is great but feel like im missing on a lot working with the factory rom
depending on how cool the phone is, 4k video is time limited due to over heating of the phone. yes you do get a message about that from the factory rom when u switch on 4k video camera . so if u were using the phone prior to taking that video time is slashed to 3-5 mins before it stops..
videos taken on 4k or 1080/60 fps sometimes look like slow motion videos not running as fluid as they are supposed to...
never had a phone with so many things id comment about or couldnt help fix with the community but i guess theres a first time for everything...
anyways this has been my first sony mobile and being the latest android phone on the market, it only made sense to drop my broken lg g2 for it but i guess i was wrong
guess i could of been happier with the lg g3 but might as well keep the sony till either the lg g4 comes out or try those new Asus
well, intel procesor hard to install custom rom/custom kernel, am i right?
sorry my english bad

Very nice phone zenfone zoom
It's a very nice phone with good camera. I really want to have this one. But i'm still saving money to buy this.
Folks, any news when Zoom will be released? As i could not find any hint on that. Besides, i also was able to find info that Zoom might get Z3590 CPU instead of more slow Z3580. But in any case, that's only unofficial info.
Got my Zenfone Zoom (Z3580 model 64GB) for a few days now. So far pretty nice phone, fast and good UI. Only downside is the battery going fast. Have to find out what is causing that. Not lasting a whole day so far.
Got mine too - First Impressions up plus camera samples. Part 2 live tomorrow with camera shootout with iPhone 6S Plus
My post below also lists the correct specs. Some errors on first post. Any questions , just ask away

Which errors?
You have the Z3590 model, there's 2 models in which the CPU varies. Z3580 & Z3590.
Also there are 3 different localized versions: WW (worldwide), CN (China) & TW (Taiwan).
Mine didn't come with a headset tho. (WW Z5380 4GB / 64GB)

Can you do direct 2-way-Call-Recording???
Can you compare it with the Zenfone2, ZE551ML QUAD CORE 2.3G ?
Good luck with your gadget though!!!!

Basically it's a Zenfone2 with better camera. No other real differences. (
There's a dedicated record button, but they haven't shown any video recording specs. What gives??
Anyone recommend a cheap case for the phone?

Fatastic. Finally an blow-$200 phone with front Touch ID. I'm waiting for today's "snap-up" event as they call it. But when will it be delivered?
Very beautiful phone, I purchased Ulefone Be Touch 2 in August 5, I received my phone after 5 days.
There is a flash sale at 17:00 on http://goo.gl/sgucAi . The phone will be in stock on 2015-07-01
I like the front Touch ID

Its an awesome looking phone I might be getting one but I will have to see..If I get one I will do a review.
There's a few things I really like about this phone
1.touch ID
3GB ram
3.Android 5 lollipop
There's also a flash sale at Geekbuying and other stores but you have to be quick & LUCKY to get it at the flash sale price.
Iv got the Ulefone be pure at the moment & the camera on that phone is spot on but the phone lacks lollipop rom & bigger storage I took this photo with my Ulefone be pure
I was trying thay snap up crap for 2 days now and while I was being pretty fast I didn't have luck.
Did anyone else try?
Any luck?
Any tips?
I saw on their facebook that they'll make custom ROM for the Be Touch 2. Many people vote for CM and Miui, while i myself like CM.

Yeah I saw it. Just voted for CM as well.
The flash deals never work for me, I just accept it and bought one for 220..
on 1949deal it's the cheapest. It comes without 'free gifts' (screen protector and some sillicon sleeve-cover) which I don't want anyway. I can use that 10 bucks to buy a proper flip-cover
The Be Touch 2 has the same measurements / size as the Be Touch 1 so you can just buy those and they will fit.
I am really looking forward to this device! The fact Ulefone is active on their Facebook and tries to get some custom ROM's for their device really helps with the idea of long time support (although I have really no idea).
Flash sale is real. Just managed to get one: D
Some places on aliexpress do 30 off flash sale as well as 50.
Just so you know.
Good luck!
Okay I got this info directly from Ulefone
Ulefone plans to make custom third-party ROMs for its newest flagship Ulefone Be Touch 2.
Ulefone, first of all, is going to make one custom ROM based on the UI desired by most of its customers before start the second one. In a survey on the company’s Facebook Page, most fans voted for MIUI and Cyanogen Mod - among others like EMUI and Flyme.
“People want that it provide different interaction experiences and variable themes, and in the same time, they want it to be light for best performance"
"Ulefone now take both factors into consideration and make something people feel inspiring and good to use simultaneously" said Ulefone CEO Jason Liu.
These days, Ulefone received feedbacks involving custom ROM from many users, most of whom suggested CM.

It's 4G and 2G, you don't need to swap the sim.
But one sim needs to be in 2g mode when the other one is 4g.

Latest news about the Bluboo Xtouch is that it will be customized for Aircel to enter the India market.
Bluboo Xtouch appears in front of our eyes again with exciting news after a period of silence. According to the latest news, Bluboo is going to cooperate with India operator Aircel to sell Xtouch in India market.
Bluboo Xtouch is the 2015 annual flagship android phone of Bluboo, we have gotten much news report about this amazing 4G device but seems it is still on the road of official release.
Xtouch advertise itself "the best 5 inch smartphone so far". That make us much eager for how this device performs.
Aircel is the third-larggest network operator in India.
They roll out 4G network service in 2014 and put more energy on 4G network developing in 2015. This is the first time that they cooperate with Bluboo.
The latest news report: Aircel has finished the quality eveluating of Xtouch. This model is going to be sold in India soon. Aircel chooses to keep the name of "Xtouch", this is the signal of Bluboo enter India market?
Another interesting news is that Xtouch’s ROM will be increased to 32 GB from previous 16GB for the Aircel model, but we still don’t know if the RAM of Bluboo Xtouch would be double.
Xtouch is going to be sold in India at the price of 14999 rupee($229). We can not make sure if they would launch both Bluboo Xtouch and Xtouch Pro.
Specifications of Bluboo Xtouch so far:
Bluboo Xtouch
MT6753 cpu
5 inch FHD JDI
3GB + 32GB
8MP + 16MP

According to Bluboo the final version will be released in next month. So we still have to be a little patient.
I have no received the final version of the Bluboo Xtouch, all videos so far shown on Youtube have been from the engineering sample only.
Post #1 is now also updated with an Unboxing & First Hands-on video. If anyone have questions, feel free to ask.
Hi when the device will be on market?
Any in unboxing video?
Hey s7yler,
I think that you are in a closer contact to Bluboo than me and that's because I have 3 questions.
1. Will it have WLAN ac standard support?
I'm asking because people are irritated. If you look on the data sheet on Bluboos website, you won't find ac supported. But if you click on description and scroll down to the motocycle, you will see that Bluboo guarantees 802.11ac wireless. Also in this video on youtube you can see that ac is supported.
2. Will it have a gyroscope?
Same thing. The data sheet says it will have a gyro but in your video there's no gyro.
You write it's an engineering sample - but it isn't an early one. What we don't like is the black frame between the border and the display. You can't see this "feature" on any pictures on the website. Do you know if Bluboo will improve that?
It would be much appreciated if you helped us out here because I know many people who ordered the phone and if they would know that there are some features they would miss, they have a chance to cancel the order :silly:
Keep up your work and thanks!

Hi
Can you tell me how I can test WLAN ac? that is 5Ghz or? Because my WiFi router here at home doesn't seem to support 5Ghz, so I need a way to check on the phone or via an app if 5Ghz is then supported by the phone. So far I can only confirm that the WiFi is good on the phone. Link speed says 135 Mbps on the phone, I am unsure if that will confirm something on the phone or if that is just the speed that the router sends out?
There is no Gyroscope, I checked with Sensor Box and also Google Cardboard (not working).
The black border I believe will stay, it looks different on the white model of the phone. On the white the outer frame is white, while the display itself then have a thin black border around. On the all black version this just looks like 1 thick black border. The border seems to be qual thick to the one on Ulefone Paris (if you measure the grey border with). But fact is that the Leagoo Elite 1 (which is the nearest competitor) has smaller bezels when I compare them side by side.
Hey s7yler,
thanks for your (p)review and the given further information on the awaited xtouch.
Though i also still have some questions about it:
- Could you please give final size specs of the phone, because they vary from shop to shop and manufacturer's information
- Saw the led notification menu in the settings, so it definately has an led for notifications? If so, where is it located at?
- Finally, could you please check if it really has OIS camera, just shaking telephone like shown here
- Have you yet checked the quick charge feature with the included charger?
Thank you very much for your effort!!!

Real measured phone size is: Width: 71,9mm / Height: 146mm / Thickness: 7.7mm (in the center of the phone)
It has a multicolored notification LED, located in the top near the front camera.
OIS is not present (no such setting, also not EIS) in the stock camera app for video and also not when I test to record videos with the camera. But if the camera is capable of it I don't know. For pictures only it has "Anti-shake" ?
Doesn't seem to have any quick charge, it charges like a standard phone.
Thank you for the given information s7yler.
If you click on the network you are connected with, it'll show on which frequency you are. You should also check I if the connection speed is above 54 mbit/s.
If yes, you are connected to a 5 GHz network

When I click on the network I'm connected with, it doesn't show any info and also no frequency or connection speed. It only shows "Forget network" or "Modify network" nothing else. In Advanced WiFi there are also no such informations, only the MAC and IPv4 adresse.
But as told Link speed says 135 Mbps on the phone, that I can check with CPU X and see under Network.
PS. Post #1 updated now also with camera samples and Geekbench 3 battery test results.
Thank you

thanks for the review and for photos - I ordered mine yesterday, but as far as I see, the sharpness on the left side of every photo is a disaster or the lens wasn't quite clear
the battery seems also not exactly 3000mAh - the rundown test time seems nearly equal to leagoo elite one's results that is said to have a 2400mAh battery and similar hw specs

Yeah I see it also on the left side, I think maybe it is the Anti-shake option that I had enabled. I have just tried to make pictures with it disabled and the left side was then always clear and sharp. Not sure why this happens. Regarding the battery, not sure. Because I tried to make a test on the capacity with a measurement tool and let it charge from 0-100% and it gave the 3000mAh according to the tool. Maybe the ROM/Firmware is not so good optimized and the battery drains faster than it should or something like that....
thanks for the updated post and further information.
Can you upload some HDR-shots please? Maybe the original camera app isn't as good as it should - but fortunately, there are several alternatives I'll try.
Thanks for the photos, seem quite ok so far, except the mentioned left side. Anyways i'd recommend to always shoot photos in the camera's native resolution, which would be 13MP in this case. 16MP is interpolated, so this might not be the best option for good shots. HDR samples would be appreciated here, too.
@s7yler so the reviewed one isn't the final version,right?

Hello all. I bought in pre-sale this mobile in 2nd november with the end of pre-sale in 20th november and I received it in 19th dicember in Italy.
I am using it since a day!
First: battery was totally 0%
I waited for first charge (about 1 hour and 15 minutes...very fast!)
All first day I used it in stressing condition: wifi on, update of many applications, download new OTA update, checked youtube movies, audio test, Picture tests, whatsapp, facebook, ans so on.
At the end of the first day the battery indication is 82%!
Now it is 75% with 1 hour and 15 minutes of maps navigator used to come to work in 4G connection!
First impression is really strong!
My only 3 disappionted :
- use 2 sim or 1 sim and 1 microsd .... I wanted a mobile with 2 sim + microsd and with this mobile is NOT possible.
- battery is not removable, if you will need to change you ask to Oukitel support.
- home, menu and back keys have not back illumination.
I had a Leagoo Lead 1 and I must say that display resolution is the same (on teh paper!) but in this mobile it seems really better : brightness, resolution, quality!
Audio is good and cameras work really in great way!
4G is spectacular! I changed mobile just to have it.
I must say that pictures of the Oukitel k6000 pro that you posted should be a new model : K10000!
On Oukitel site it is already present but I don't like the design, I prefer K6000.
Now I want to root it , do you know how I can do?
Oukitel is developing Cyanogen to use in k6000. I just installed it in my k6000. But its not fully working maybe 95% done. If you need a 100% fully working rom you should go with the stock rom for now. Maybe in few days cm12 will be available at 100% for this k6000
ROM to prepare for this device. I hope you like

Is the phone still good after two months?
How about the vibration intensity when you're in a crowded place?
How about loudspeakers when you need to make a call only with the use of loudspeakers?
do you have a LED indication light for incoming sms, missed calls, emails, facebook msg, etc?
I'm planning in buying one.
I'm very dissatisfied with my elephone p8000.
I am very very satisfied!
I made root and I changed audio parameters because audio was too low but now the it is really loud, in all conditions (ring, song, bt ecc...)
I recharge its every 4 days and so I can forget to have every day the supply cable with me and recharging is just 1 hour long! Really fast!
The only sad thing is that I have not found a plastic or silicon cover to protect its, but for the moment I am really careful where I put it on table or other places to don't create scretch or risk of falls.
Display is really sensitive and with good image (great dimmer gap!). Camera ok, but slow to capture (leagoo Lead1 was really faster), so I installed Fast burst camera lite and now it is ok for fast needs.
The vibration it is the same of leagoo1 and for the moment I have not used it in really crowed situations, but I think that it is ok for everybody.
No led indication (this is a pity!)
Looking on different sites I found it to 100 euro from spain ...I think that it is a good and cheap price with fast shipping for europe. I paid 100 euro too but I waited presale period and shipping time (about 40 days).
If you find for that price is a good solution but if you spend more , maybe there are other models with more things of its (greater resolution, more functions, more RAM ecc... )

Review (new format)
For those following my reviews you will notice that this one (and all other that might be released in the future) is different. Why? I don't want my reviews to be all the same anymore, so i am adopting this new format that is shorter, easier to read and without lots of photos.
Starting from the packaging, just like all CUBOT devices also this one features the same bundle of accessories with no extras. The TPU cover is shock-proof (reinforced angles). Unfortunately there is no screen protector preinstalled neither included in the package.
The device is well-made with a relatively nice glossy plastic back cover (really easy to scratch). It is easy to handle thanks to the 18:9 aspect ratio and a limited weight, plus it doesn't feature really big bezels, a bit smaller compared to the X18 (not Plus).
Something worth to be reported is the fact that the gorgeous screen, with a FHD+ resolution, is covered by the classical Gorilla Glass but it lacks AT ALL an oleophobic coating so be ready to say hello to fingerprints. A proper screen protector with an oleophobic coating pre-applied is almost necessary.
Anyway, it is still a really nice screen, with an excellent color calibration and sufficiently high brightness, nothing to complain about its quality.
Thankfully some companies are finally starting to ship Mediatek Devices with Oreo preinstalled and, as far as i know, this should be the second Mediatek device ever released with it, or at least available to be purchased outside China.
Of course the most important question is: does it support Project Treble?
The answer is: Yes, BUT it has been released without any GMS certification so i am not sure whether this is a false alarm or not. CUBOT said me that it is under certification so...we need to wait. Currently there isn't any Stock ROM available either so it would be impossible to "play" with the ROM without risking to soft-brick it.
Honestly i don't think the software is quite ready yet for the public since, at least both review units i got (the first one was faulty) have a really annoying touchscreen bug that causes it to stutter while scrolling vertically. If you scroll a menu (or anything else) slowly, it won't happen, but if you increase the speed it starts to appear. This bug has been already reported to CUBOT and i am waiting for a solution, it may be one of the reasons why the GMS-certified firmware is not available yet (maybe).
As regards its performance, the device feels really snappy but the really high resolution with this chipset really make the GPU to struggle while doing some intensive tasks. Sometimes animations are not 100% smooth, but it is not a software issue, just a performance limit.
Benchmarks are, well, just OK. Some of them are slightly higher than what i got with the same chipset on Nougat thanks to some nice optimizations provided with Oreo.
Follow this link to check all benchmarks: https://imgur.com/a/zvUGBgp
For some reason, CUBOT decided to ship this device without a Magnetometer/Compass and/or a Gyroscope. Considering that this screen would be almost-ideal for VR, this is a bit disappointing.
Nothing to report about the GPS quality, it is accurate and supports GLONASS. (indoors on the left, outdoors on the right)
The device's WiFi chipset supports 5.0GHz connections (no WiFi AC though) and it is able to reach the maximum speed possible from my internet connection. Also the 4G connection is well-handled, with reasonably high speeds (considering my area) and really-high signal.
Following most Mediatek devices released in the past few months, also the X18 Plus comes with a Samsung 16MP rear camera sensor that provides some decent shots as long as you don't turn on the HDR that i found to be bugged (colors get washed out and the noise gets really high). A software update is required to optimize the camera.
Finally, the battery. CUBOT declares a battery capacity of 4000mAh and, at least based on my testing, it appears to be real. I know that the result provided by PCMark might not seem really high, but the chipset is not power efficient plus it is heavily stressed due to the high-res screen so i find it to be a reasonable result. Of course it can't be compared with Qualcomm devices, a whole different world.
In conclusion, is the X18 Plus a real upgrade to the X18 (not Plus)? And, is it worth to be considered? Well, it is a really big upgrade compared to the first X18, that's for sure, but CUBOT, in order to not lose the oppurtunity to be one of the first brands to release a Mediatek-based Oreo device, placed on the market a device with a questionable software quality.
I was expecting to receive an OTA update while reviewing the device in order to see some fixes, but unfortunately nothing happened. In this precise moment, i can recommend this device only to those who want to risk in getting something that is not really ready yet. Since the Project Treble thing is really interesting, i won't stop following this device.
Maybe it will become the most-affordable and most customizable device ever released? Hopefully yes.
Device Rating: 7+
Pros: Android Oreo; Great Screen; Solid
Cons: Immature Software; Not certified yet; No Magnetometer/Compass & Gyroscope

Why not? We can restore the device if anything goes wrong from now on so I will certainly try as soon as possible
Exactly. My main hesitation is backing up all my data; been so impressed with this device it's been my daily for a while now. Reckon I'd go to the hassle if you report back sufficient functionality for daily use

Tested phh-treble real quick, it doesn't boot.
Hopefully just a minor issue.
Did your try both 8.0 and 8.1?

In theory the 8.1 v17 build should be compatible with 8.0 ROMs so...
Anyway, no. I had the time to test that v17 build only.

The X18 Plus is A-only so i tested that variant.
UPDATE: same issue with the V9 A-only phh-treble build, bootloop. This treble supports is starting to look fake.
Ok, now we have stock rom, but someone is able to "build" a TWRP for this phone? and can you share it with us?
A few months back it was posted here on XDA that @phhusson had ordered this phone. I'm sure he would be able to answer questions on TWRP or GSIs if the phone arrived.
I can't link directly to the post as vbulletin is complaining. It is on page 123 of the main trebble thread. I purchased this phone and have been very happy so far. So I would be interested to see how things progress.

[AOSP 8.1] [2018-04-24] Phh-Treble
Did anyone have an opportunity to install the latest ROM release from Cubot? If it is now offically Google certified then surely as a requirement of Oreo it must be Trebble compatible? Perhaps the shipped ROM did not everything in place to fully support Trebble on release?
Cheers guys
