mate 2 replacement ($49 black friday ascend xt) - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

Still going for 49.00 on Walmart online and in stores!!!
Regular 149.99(cheapest I've seen it is 85 on eBay)
I just got the bootloader unlocked on it(using huawei american site)
Specs
616 octo core snapdragon processor
2gb of ram
3000mah battery
6.0 720 HD screen
6.0.1 running emui 4.1
8mp camera with flash
2mp front
Led notification

I wonder if this phone can be rooted or if there will be any ROM development for it. Wondering if it has a cousin model that shares ROMs, cases, etc.
How do you like it so far?

Seems good, has a lot of att bloatware, haven't really used it since I'm still waiting on unlock code. So wants I get that I'll be able to use it more. Also uses the same processor as the honor 5x(same specs besides the 6inch screen, and fingerprint scanner)
For 49 bucks its a steal.

{Q} Best Chinese Phone ?

Hey i have an motorola Photon, but he stucks on GB
Until april i will have 280$ without use.
So what phone should i pick? ( in the future )
anyway is saw the new MTK6588 it's amazing
so any recommends?
I'd say Meizu phones are the best of the Chinese phone lot. Meizu MX is really nice, though a tad iPhone-y.
You can buy Motorola Atrix
U can try xiaomi mi2 just released I heard its very nice,check gsmarena for full specificatoins..

HDC S3 i9300 Quad Core Mtk6588
Hello, how are. Well tell them that I'm brand new to android so I know understand, if this happen to some other thread, just let me know. It turns out that a few weeks ago to buy a mobile named: HDC Galaxy S3 GT-i9300 mtk6588 to 1.4ghz, 1g ram, 8gb rom, 16 gb sd, 8mpx cam, 2mpx front cam, 4.8 inch lcd. The truth is a great phone for me at least a passing Omnia 2 has this. The point is that as desconosco were unaware even android and I wanted to root as the play google told me he had updates for some applications, at that time I did not know use SuperSU benia already installed, and I had no better idea to follow a statute root of this type of phone, but for mtk 6575-6577. and so I did, the point is that now tells me I have 480 MB RAM and 1GB, 2GB rom and 8GB, 2GB sd and 16gb ARMv7 processor (VFPv3, Neon), and not a mtk 6588. Wifi does not work, or the camera or bluetooth, if the 3g and data. I learned to use the tool and flash recovery mode, I tried as much ROM for this type of mobile found, of course whenever with mtk6575 but the flash tool or update. zip I get errors. Firmware for Mtk6588, there is on the web at least I did not find it. It is not more to do, so I turn to you to see if there is a solution, or simply lost mobile. From already thank you very much and forgive the scroll.

In China, Huawei cell phone quality is very good.
£ 100 to buy a good phone with some difficulty.
For a cheap phone, I think the Huawei G300 is pretty nice. You've got a team of developers working on Cyanogenmod for it, as well. It's the best price / performance phone in your budget range. However, it doesn't seem really that compareable to the Nexus 4 (which is great), but there's not much else you can do with your budget!

Ranking
Hey there!
does this HDC phone really have 18 MP? I think it's only a interpolated camera. Anyway I don't think those HDC phones do have a good quality.
If your looking for a china phone ranking, check chinese-android-phones.com/china-phone-ranking/
Seems to me like those china-phones are of a good quality. I bought the Cubot ONE and it's a great phone with quad-core CPU, 13 MP camera and for less than 170$.

This list is an embarrassment. All these phones are rip-offs of phones from HTC, Samsung, Apple and LG. Why don't you try promoting some phone companies from China that doesn't cater to the stereotype view of the Chinese people (that the Chinese just copy and make fake versions of everything)? Phones from Xiaomi and Oppo for example are also quite cheap, have original designs and have genuinely good quality. In fact, the Xiaomi Mi3 is FAR more powerful than the JiaYu G5 for roughly the same price.
THL T100S is best smartphone, China's first eight-core mobile phone, will be officially sold in the January 10, I've been on thlmobilestore com site to buy one.

Actually, the Jiayu G5 retails for around $299 whereas the Mi3 is around $330. Of course, depending on where you get them from, the price difference will be different but the Mi3 is definitely not DOUBLE the price of a Jiayu G5.
chinese loge to 6 mahine hi chalega.
Cinese Jiayu G5S
I own a Jiayu G5 advanced 2 GB RAM and 32 GB ROM , metal case , in black .
It looks pretty much as an Iphone 5 but not really it is bigger.
Beside the GPS function , a lower volume speaker , a weaker vibration function and the flashlight wich u better
use only as a torch , pitty for the 13 MP rear camera ( I am not sure if its not software enhanced , it doesent look as a 13 MP lens )
I can say this device is aswome. Does not have full support on duals SIM but works great with redirection and CallWaiting between SIMs.
As far as I know Jiayu has a little factory who didn't copy but just build their own brand.
The G5 is very fine also from design..

[Q] Decent chinese phone with custom roms available

Hi,
I have been lurking around for a while now and still can't find what i am looking for, a decent chinese phone. I find it difficult to find one that comes close to what i am looking for.
Quad core MediaTek or Qualcomm
1GB ram
Decent screen 4 inch or 5 inch screen IPS or anything else that is good of course no capacitive touch ..
Decent battery 1500 + mAh
Wifi b/g/n
CMOS 8mp+ cam (only a rear cam is needed), no interpolated cam.
Bluetooth
GPS
Other sensors are ok, but not needed
3G support for EUR
CWM and some custom roms available here on xda for the specific device
The only brand from china that i don't want is Huawei, don't know about any others that are bad imo.
Budget is about 150 euro / 206 USD.
It doesn't have to be a perfect phone, but just one that can replace my current phone without costing over 200 euro / 275 USD.
Thanks if somebody could help me or give me tips.
Have a look at the jcomm neo n002.
Dual sim/dual stand by
4.5 inch IPS touchscreen.
1ghz dual core processor (1.2ghz claimed on advertising)
512mb ram (1gb claimed on advertising)
8mp rear camera
2mp front camera.
Android 4.0.4
Pre rooted, cwm installed and Chinese bloat removed before despatch.
Availible in black or white.
Looks very similar in shape and size to a Motorola moto G.
On eBay for £45 (UK stock)

phone is in presell at the moment, at least the lite version i mean.

You do not want to do business with this company. Price constantly changes. Go to their Facebook website and it will say $219. If you go to website, it says $269. If you go to an official store, it will be even more and their discount coupon won't be honored. The specs change, that 20 mp camera is now 13 mp, the release dates change. The US version was initially supposed to come out end of Jan.; now it won't be available till mid-April. I personally do not know what to expect from these folks. They don't answer emails or Skype calls and that is the only way you can get ahold of them. Do not waste your money or time with these people.
I got the 219$ from Gearbest after a while. (It's the elecode black version withnout power adaptoir)
Not sure about the shipping date. Mid April should be for all color variants and Lite version. The black P9000 should ship sooner for the people with elecode.
Gearbest says shipping on 20th Feb. let's see what happens.
If you're planning to buy any of the new phones Elephone is putting out (or most of the bigger small Chinese OEMs for that matter), prepare to wait at least 1 to 3 months for your phone.
