Despite the aborted launch of Acer's Aliyun-powered phone last September, the cheeky Android-based OS is now back with a handful of new devices courtesy of some local friends, with the most notable device coming from Zopo, a notorious cloner of Samsung, HTC and LG phones. That said, it looks like the company's making a change with this seemingly good-looking C2, and for the launch price of ¥1,399 or about $230 unsubsidized, the specs will probably make Xiaomi tremble: there's a 5-inch 1080p gapless LTPS display, a MediaTek MT6589 chip (1.2GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 processor with 1GB RAM and PowerVR SGX544 graphics), 4GB internal storage with microSD expansion, Yamaha audio chip, a removable 2,000mAh battery and WCDMA 850/2100 radio with HSPA+.
Furthermore, not only is there a 13-megapixel f/2.2 main camera, but there's also a staggering 5-megapixel front-facing camera on the other side -- just like the one on Oppo's Ulike 2. Oh, and these all come in an 8.5mm-thick body, too. Zopo's now accepting pre-orders for the first 5,000 C2s and will be shipping before the end of the month, so if you have an account on Tmall and don't mind being a guinea pig then go for it.

but i've also hear that there are different batch
like FC? and B batch?
or is fhd only the 4GB version and all the other are B batch?
They change some specs on same model, for instance RAM memory but these are most important differences:
ZOPO C2 - MTK6589, thinner glass, ghost touch problem
ZOPO C2 Platinum - MTK6589Turbo, thicker glass, mostly no ghost touch, 16/32GB ROM
ZOPO C3 - Different design but pretty much same specs as C2 Platinum.
If you wanna know if yours is regular or Platinum C2, Internal storage is the clue. 16 and more GB memory is Platinum.
EDIT:
C2 platinum and C3 wont root with SP tool, at least not for me. this is what worked for me (chinese app one click root) -
Vroot: http://www.mgyun.com/UpdateLog/vroot
MTK drivers also required before root.
Marsapa rom works on all 3 devices so all roms should work, at least that is my clue

Hello,
I am thinking about getting a C3.
Do you have experience with it?

Should be the same as My C2 Platinum, just differently positioned cam.
My experience:
This phone is the beast! My C2 is slightly overclocked and it shows Antutu 17.000 which is higher than Galaxy S3 and on top of that Antutu is resolution dependent
5 inch full HD screen (overkill as human eye cant detect higher than 280PPI) but still MTK CPU drains a lot less than Quallcom phones so my phone holds whole day even longer when I don overuse it.
Design is by far the best. compensated with the fact that phone IS breakable due to lack of glass holder (glass is spot-mounted onto the case) you should consider using some protection. I do not as I take care of my phones. Note that that solution provides by far the best design as phone really looks like this when turned off:
On top of that, there are several tools you would need to make your phone ultimate:
Nova Launcher: emulates CM's Trebuchet, and is even better. consider paying for full version as it is really the best launcher (uninstall from home, and lots of functions others dont have)
Xposed netvork: XDA's own genious rovo89 made this so it enables customizing your device ANY WAY YOU WANT via modules
Gravitybox module for Xposed: advanced restart, hardware buttons assign, CM lookalike tweaks, MTK fixes ...
with these 3 tools, your phone wouldnt even need custom rom, everything is there, with Xposed you inject whatever code you need into the system. there are tons of separate Xposed functions aside from GravityBox.
With all this used, phone is ulitmate device which saves battery, acts as "top of the high end phone" and it is close to AOSP so I wouldnt really consider replacing it for One, or S4 or any other device as it can do anything now, really.

I'm mainly looking at the availability of compatable ROMs.
I don't get why there is a 980 and a C2 series.
Can someone explain that? They seem absolutely identical

ZOPO C2 is EXACTLY the same as ZP980 and dont doubt about it. The difference is that C2 initially comes with Aliyun OS developed by Alibaba group (the site that sells stuff) and ZOPO shares profit with them when selling C2 so C2 comes cheaper due to price cut from Alibaba. Shame for them that everyone installs android but good for us that is slightly cheaper.
versions, officially:
REGULARC2: ZOPO C2 first batch (black white) - 1080p, 5mpx front cam, 1GB RAM, 4GB ROM, MTK6589
PLATINUM: ZOPO C2 Platinum + C2 Black (same as White called Platinum) - 1080p, 8mpx front cam, 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM, MTK6589 Turbo
REGULAR980: ZP980 - 1080p, 8mpx front cam, 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM, MTK6589 (no Turbo)
TURBO980: ZP980 Turbo - 1080p, 8mpx front cam, 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM, MTK6589 Turbo
MORE RAMROM: ZP980 32 - 1080p, 8mpx front cam, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM, MTK6589 Turbo
see what I did there, I gave them names
REGULARC2 and REGULAR980 are same SoC with more ROM on the 980 model
PLATINUM and TURBO980 are the same phones
MORE RAMROM packs 2GB so is the best right now from all zopo models. and they are pretty much same devices. I would use Turbo versions as my root procedure didnt work with regular C2/ZP980 instructions, and MTK6589 Turbo vorks better overall

Hi, pleas, how did U owerclock your ZOPO? Thx
Difference
My favourite is Zopo C3
Have you heard of Gionee Elife S5.5? They said it is the world's slimmest smartphone with the following dimensions: 145.1 x 70.2 x 5.55 mm. It also has an octa core MT6592 1.7GHz CPU, 5.0-inch FHD screen with Gorilla Glass 3, 2GB RAM, etc. Full specs here: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/gionee-elife-s5-5-worlds-slimmest-smartphone
What do you think of the phone, especially its thickness? Is it really the slimmest smartphone to date?
Indeed!
Yes it is the slimmest smartphone ever made!
Best in class and looks! SuperB design! Metal and glass. Talking about build quality? Trust me, BEST so far in contrast to any smartphone out there!
I was about to buy Samsung Galaxy S4 but then I came across this beast.
1.7 GHz Octa-Core processor! Never hangs/lags (atleast not yet).
1080p screen resolution with super AMOLED display (breathtaking!).
5MP Front camera that too wide angle (selfies at its best. ).
Every HD game runs smoothly!
Am not saying this just cause I own it. I have Samsung Note 3 too. And believe me, I like my S5.5 much more! Enough said!

Appearance
Lenovo S898t smartphone features 5.3 -inch screen with OGS full lamination technology. Lenovo S898t smartphone looks like a piece of sheer black smooth mirror in quenched screen. The black receiver uses the low-key black metal mesh, and down below you will see the lenovo LOGO. On the right side is a front-facing camera and a indicator light, and mobile G3 LOGO.
The back of the body features the most prominent 13 million pixel camera. Down below is a LED flash light. Downward is a silver lenovo brand logo. Dark gray frosted back blend with Metal fabric texture design makes Lenovo S898t smartphone touches textured as well as not easy to leave fingerprints. The middle is a sunk speaker, which produces decent sound effect.

Arc transition makes the headphone jack on the top takes on the shape of droplets, and right above is power button. The left side of the body is without any buttons.

Common "temple run 2" and "riptide rowing" runs smoothly on Lenovo S898t. Moreover, the sensitive touch screen lets you paly the game even with gloves. Although it is is a little strenuous to play large games, basic requirements can be achieved.
Camera
The super camera Lenovo S898t built in is true to its claim. Not only boasting burst shoot, panoramic photos, intelligent group shooting, also the 13 million pixel camera flaunts accurate color reproduction and excellent detail rendering.
Verdict:
Less than 8 mm ultra-thin body, and innovative Metal Fabric back cover bring users comfortable texture; while the combination of a 5.3 -inch 720 p hd screen, quad core 1.5 GHz processor and 13 million + 2 million pixel camera gives Lenovo S898t phenomenal value.
Hi all,
What are peoples thought on the Cube U25gt2-C4W?
Specifically, it is an Android tablet, 7 inches in size with a 5 point IPS screen with a 1024 x 600 pixel resolution.
RAM is 1GB DDR3
ROM is 8GB
Kitkat 4.4
Quad Core Cortex A7 1.3Ghz Mali 400 processor MTK8127 chip
2400mAh Lithium battery.
It also has, Bluetooth, OTG, microSD slot, HDMI, and GPS (apparantly)...
Price is about $82 (incl. delivery).
So has anyone had any experiences (good or bad, with these cheap Chinese Cube tablets)??
(Opinions on battery life particularly appreciated).
I have one of these, paid 69 USD for it. For this price it is a nice device, 18k+ antutu benchmark, has an ips screen which is good for this price.
It does get warm though if you play games like san andreas but they all work fine. battery is the weakest point, only 2400mah so not good for use outside home or car.
