Zopo ZP999 Hands On Review

The Zopo ZP999 Standard version, powered with MT6595 Pre-sale for this phone were first accepted on TinyDeal online store for $399.99. Here’s our review of the Zopo ZP999 prototype and its hardware.

The Zopo ZP999 standard version continues the classic design sported by the Zopo ZP998 with many similarities from the size to the way the buttons are set. But the battery has enlarged to 2,700mAh, also they’re interchangeable. However, the SIM slots were changed.  Zopo ZP998 has one big SIM slot and one small one, while the Zopo ZP999 standard version has two micro card slots and has support for 4G LTE networks. The two slots overlap each other. The Zopo ZP999 standard version is also NFC-supported, plus HotKnot, smart wake, OTG, accelerometer and hall sensor integrated As a result, this is a phone aimed at the high-end market, and so, it is no surprise that its price is much higher than Zopo ZP998.


Powered on the device, probably thanks to the LTPS technology, we found that the screen display is much nicer than the same resolution on ZP998. Especially the black color presents very deep and true, and you will not find any light leaks on the edge of the screen. Handing on ZP999 feels comfortable, the thin bezel brings an excellent visual enjoyment, the only pity is that a thin dark bezel will be keep in eyes when the screen is on.


ZP999 packs with 5MP front camera and 14MP back camera, when we started the test the day had been turned to dusk, so we firstly took some night shots. It is notable that the shutter has a little delayed, but the night shots didn’t disappoint us, with or without flash light, it still keeps well.

The quality of the photos taken by ZP999 is great. They are very clear whether they are taken indoors or outdoors. The colors are also a bit more natural.



One of the ZP999’s most interesting features is its MediaTek octa-core processor, using a mix of ARM Cortex-A17 and low-power Cortex-A7 cores and paired with 3GB of RAM, will allow the phone to easily outperform competing handsets.

We found there could be some truth to this claim. During our hands-on, the Zopo ZP999 moved between windows and open applications smoothly and stutter-free, and proved capable of opening multiple content-rich websites in the native browser app hassle free.

This processor has received more than 42000 points in the newest Antutu benchmark test.


Unlike most MTK smartphones, ZP999’s audio decoding chip seems much better, the sound quality with earphone is pure and clear, but the speaker is not very loud when calling rings.

Battery life performs well with the 2700mAh battery, the only shortage is you may need to charge it for about 3 hours to be full.

Axgio Opened Store on Amazon


China-based Cellphone maker Axgio has opened an official store named Axgio US on Amazon.com, the world’s biggest online shopping platform, in an effort to better serve customers in the US.


All of Axgio’s products have been shipped to Amazon’s US-based warehouse, so that local customers can receive their packages within one week. The mobile phone company uses Amazon’s logistics system, which usually delivers a package in 4-7 days after payment. If choosing Amazon’s Two-Day Shipping service, you get your package the next day.


Axgio’s has launched 3 cellphone models, Wing W2, Neon N1, and Neon N2Q in succession. The first two are 4-core HD-display smartphones and already for sale on Amazon for USD94.99 and USD105.99, respectively. Neon N2Q, the 8-core qHD smartphone, will be available on Amazon in about 2 weeks.
 


Axgio US sells some mobile phone accessories, too, such as the PowerStream-series mobile power banks and PowerSlot-Series USB chargers.

World’s Lowest-price 8-core Smartphone to Be Even Cheaper

Cellphone maker Axgio will further lower the price of the world’s cheapest 8-core smartphone by 2 US dollars, so that the consumers can get it at USD114.99 at the online store TinyDeal.com.

Named Axgio Neon N2Q, the smartphone was launched three weeks ago, in an effort to provide customers with a snappy phone at a friendly price. Now the company is able to make it even more affordable, thanks to its optimization in production line.


 Axgio Neon N2Q is equipped with the MTK6592M 8-core chipset, 5-inch QHD display, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, 5MP/8MP Cameras, Bluetooth 4.0, and a 2100mAh battery, running on the pure Android 4.4.2 operating system. It is presently the cheapest smartphone available on the market, with its price USD20 lower than the previous lowest.


The Neon N2 Q’s body measures 5.7 inches high by 2.8 inches wide, and with a thickness of 7.5mm, it’s almost as thin as the iPhone 6 Plus. The industrial-feel edges, the inset lines hereby, and the matte texture are all reminiscent of another iPhone, namely, the 5. The edges are made from matte aluminum which delivers a visual feel of black lead though, as it adopted metal corrosion techniques. Coming in a weight of 4.6 ounces, the N2 Q feels significantly lighter than Axgio’s last-generation product Neon N1.


Besides, the edges are slightly curved, so as to nestle into hand rather than cutting into it. “As an oversize mobile phone, chamfered edges are not very friendly to hand. That’s why iPhone 6 and 6 Plus give up the harsh design that distinguished iPhone 5 and 5S”, said a manager at Axgio.

The Neon N2Q has a very smooth user interface and allows demanding games like Asphalt 8 and Real Racing 3 to run reassuringly, thanks to the robust MTK6592M CPU and Mali450 4-core GPU. The 1GB RAM is not huge, but is enough to handle a qHD display.


The battery of the N2Q occupies a big area in the phone’s interior, and therefore it has a large capacity to easily support 2 days of light use. The mainboard sits to the right of the battery with the two groups of main heat-emitting components separated by the two SIM card slots, building a good cooling environment.

A highly-praised function on the N2Q is Gesture Wake, which enables double tap to enter the lock screen and open an app by drawing a letter like “w” when the display is sleeping.



In about one month, Axgio will release another version of the N2Q which runs on the Neonado OS 1.1, an Android UI developed by the Axgio company. The UI was pre-installed on Axgio’s previous products Neon N1 and Wing W2 and has won a good reputation as a handy system.

The best phone of ZOPO with high specification - ZP999

TinyDeal has launched the first MT6595M smartphone, ZOPO ZP999, which is the upgrade version of ZP998. From appearance we can hardly find apparent differences between the brothers, but in specifications it does have a landslide win in every aspect of the phone.

ZP999 packs with the same body like ZP998, 5.5-inch screen, FHD resolution, size 151 x 76 x 9 mm, only the back case changes a minor. Also the screen material has adopted the LTPS and OGS technology. Thankfully, the battery has promoted to 2,700mAh(the last generation is only 2,300mAh).



But what mostly grabs our attention should be the latest MT6595 processor, this ZP999 standard version is powered by its underclocking version MT6595M, clocked at 2.0GHz with an IMG Rogue G6200 450MHz GPU, we have read many test reports from GFXBench that performance gap between the two is about 20%, so you just don’t need to care much about the benchmark and game performance. Of course if you are not satisfied with the underclocking version, ZOPO also offers the ZP999 Pro version, which is powered by MT6595@2.2GHZ.


Besides the powerful CPU, ZP999 also equips with an ample storage – 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM, which is the same level as Xiaomi and Meizu, or even higher. Its back camera is 14MP with CMOS, front camera is 5MP. It is also mentionable that ZP999 brings us many invisible enhancements on both software and hardware, for example, HotKnot, Accelerometer, Hall sensor, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and OTG.


The last spotlight should not forget is the supported network – TD-LTE, FDD-LTE, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and of course GSM are all supported in ZP999’s baseband. If you need more information about the frequency, you can check it on the product page. I believe that would definitely make you delightful.

THL T6 Pro: A Cozy 8-core Phone for the Autumn Market

Autumn is the ideal season to release new products: People are waiting for the Halloween and Christmas holidays. Being the star of fast developing consumer electronics market, cellphone companies will never be left behind. The leading companies like Samsung and Apple have announced their latest cellphone products, yet Google’s Nexus products are not even be leaked.

The 8-core Android cellphones have come to us months ago, even Qualcomm has broken its words to launched 8-core processors. Before Qualcomm’s 8-core processors are widely used, the only brands on this market are Samsung’s Exynos 54X0 series and MediaTek’s MTK6592. Exynos series have the bad reputation for battery-consumption and temperature control. And the lack of baseband patents make Samsung’s processors higher price for its extra cost. At the same time, MediaTek’s only 8-core processor MTK6592 has been sold over 6 months. Though not competitive with Qualcomm flagship 4-core processor like Snapdragon 800, MTK6592 is a quite decent processor: subordinate flagship performance, perfect battery-consumption and the low cost for manufacturers. Considering the upgrade version MTK6595 has been postponed several times, the MTK6592 is still trending in 2014 and 2015 spring.



Before the MTK6595 is mass produced, MTK6592 will slowly but steadily lower the price, in other words, cost down. From over $200 to the present price about $120, this process speeds up much. The model we’re talking today, THL T6 Pro is definitely an ambitious product. THL has brought us many classic cellphones: T100S, T200C, T11, and W11… Their recent models THL5000 and T6S did win reputation for cost/performance, battery-consumption, and build quality. While the THL5000 with over $260 and T6S with less than $90, there is a great gap between these two models. Considering the MTK6582 quad core phones have come with the low price, THL’s impossible to make a high-end quad core phone and mark it over $150. Thus THL chose to build the upgrade version of T6S, which is T6 Pro.

Sharing the same model with T6S, T6 Pro also has many same features with T6S. The specifications for T6 Pro is standard: MTK6592 octa core processors, 1GB RAM and 8GB ROM, 5” IPS HD screen, 2.0 MP and 8.0 MP dual cameras. Surely it aims at the customers who are eager to experience the octa core phones, yet worried about the unknown brand’s cheap products, or the unnecessary expensive ones.


The T6 Pro inherited simple but smart design. The same engineering plastics material on the back of T6 PRO feels quite different. The soft touch feels cozy, even in the cold weather days. The anti-slip surface is helpful when holding it in your hand. For this design, it won scores for anti-scratch part. The sound of speaker is impressive, so no need to worry you will miss the call. The T6 PRO used the three traditional button keys as well: menu, home and back. Fortunately the menu button has the right icon, not the multi-task icon on some other models. The power button and volume buttons are on the side of the phone which can easily access and the touch feels clear for each button. The 3.5mm microphone interface and micro USB interface are on the top. It feels better to hold the phone when charging it. At the bottom of the phone, the open slot of the back cover and the denoise microphone are here.

For the camera part, T6 PRO’s rear 8.0 MP camera lacks of unique features. But the main functions are supported: LED flashlight, auto-focus, panorama shot, face recognition, and continuous shot. Besides, it can toggle between 4:3 and 16:9 photo scale. The actual quality of the rear camera is decent for 8.0MP. The noise control is OK, but the glare prevention needs improvement.



The hardware performance of T6 PRO is within our expectation, both the Antutu benchmark and the 3D games / video playback experience is the normal MTK6592 level. 1GB RAM will be short for many background running apps. We agree that it can meet your daily demands as a starter phone. Though it’s an entry-level octa core phone, there is a long way between the T6 PRO and flagship ones. But running Facebook and Twitter will be more than sufficient. If this phone has the lower than $150 price, there would be chances for T6 PRO. And for this price, we can give it a 4.5 stars remark.
