Checks all the boxes (if you can find the dual sim for a decent price, the single SIM is certainly in your price range). Quad core. 1 GB of RAM. All the typical sensors. 4.5" screen. USB OTG. Plus it has a decent build quality vs a lot of budget oriented phones, as well as the software is already on 4.4.2 is a bonus. Tons of magazines and websites have reviewed the phone and all of them were thoroughly impressed with the overall package for the $$$. The camera would probably be the weak spot, but does fine in normal shots if you aren't expecting Nokia Lumia 1020 pictures or anything.

Well gsmarena.com is your friend just scan and scan or search...

[Q] Will the gnex be a high end phone?

so will the gnex be a high end phone as in having desktop convergence? according to their website, for it to be a high end phone, it needs to have a quadcore a9 processor. otherwise it fulfills every other aspect. this phone has a dualcore a9 processor, so will there be desktop convergence. I really hope there will be I want to try it out.
Well from what I saw, every video demo etc. Was specifically the galaxy nexus. At one point I did see "a" phone connected using the desktop feature. Each phone I saw using the Ubuntu mobile has been the nexus.
Edit : I've also heard the specs released aren't final and just a figure for certain phones.

that's OEM specs, which doesn't mean much for download/install version potentially. The values of which would have been decided are best to give the full desktop experience - including downloading alot of desktop apps. Time will tell, but I suspect desktop version will run perfectly on GNEX, or any other internal memory only phone - it's just a matter of keeping your eye on space available when you are installing Ubuntu native apps.
I'm also wondering if the Desktop Feature will simply be disabled on devices with lower than recommended specs. I have seen some Ubuntu on Android videos using a Motorolla Atrix II which has exactly the same hardware as the GNex. It ran the desktop and even Ubuntu TV pretty good considering it was early in development (1 year ago) and running ontop of Android with bridges to access the phone settings and apps.

Making a custom rom for mediatek devices is very tough as the mtk is very closed source. Anyway, i m planning to buy this tab, so can you give me the feedback of it? how is the performance etc?

The overall performance is good and there is no lagging of games like Subway surfers,Temple run etc..However when i tried to run Call Of Duty Strike Team it lagged a bit as it is a very heavy game.. Pictures when shot indoors have low quality..Flash of camera is not that bright..I am fully satisfied with this tablet except for one thing...As it is MTK based device ROMS for this tablet are difficult to find and manufacturer hasn't issued any new update for this device..
Overall: Tablet with good performance.Value for Money..However if you are planning to buy a tablet mainly for shooting pics and stuff don't buy it as the camera quality is not that good..The camera quality of this tablet is like Micromax and XOLO phones..

Thanks for the awesome review. As far as camera is concerned, its none of my interest (i m not going to use it as camera). What about the internal memory? is it capped at 1GB for applications? is there any workaround?

Why Gigabyte phones are non-existant in any android dev forums?

Hey.
I recently purchased a Gigabyte Gsmart Akta A4 smartphone for 130 euros.
Gigabyte as a company is only known in PC market, but they're very trustworthy and they make quality PC parts.
And for 130 euros I've got:
Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU
Mali-450MP4 GPU
8GB of internal storage
1GB of ram
13 mp camera and 5 MP front camera,
A bit small resolution but good screen with good color reproduction (540 x 960).
At this price point I couldn't find any other phone which would match these specs (at least in Lithuania).
In AnTuTu it gets over 26K-27K score.
So I went through a lot of searches and I didn't find any custom roms or anything for it. It's like it's a non-existant phone.
How such a superb budget phone doesn't have any android developers around the globe? :[
Any news? Did you found something?
You most likely won't. Devices like that almost never get any development due to no kernel source and having minor specs. Most developers go after flag ship or near flash ship devices.

How to root venturer Voyager 7" tablet VCT9F78Q22EU

HI XDA folks,
So i wanted to get my kids a budget tablet for christmas, but not junk. Something that would be ok. Now for me Android needs atleast 2gb RAM. All of the devices i have tried with 1GB of RAM are slow as hell.
https://venturer.com/product/venturer-voyager-7-android-tablet/ The device is from ventuer which is a rebrand of RCA which is also Alco. So there are a few devices on XDA already.
It as 10 Go and is ok for its spec. But i know from my own experiences tinkering with Dev options and Build prop etc, different Firmware I know it can be made smoother. It has the full google suite for starters...
Anyways, I installed Android Assitant which gave me this information.
So a bit of info.
Model = VCT9F78Q22EU
Android = 10 (go version)
brand = Venturer
Manufacturer = Alco
board= tb8168p1_bsp
Hardware= mt8168
4 cores 2ghz each, armeabi-v7A, armeabi
MediaTek MT8168 Processor - Benchmarks and Specs
Benchmarks, information, and specifications for the MediaTek MT8168
www.notebookcheck.net
Mediatek SOC
Anyways, any one come across this device so far? Any chance of rooting?
Regards
Berty
