Great product
Conclusions: Full HD display, the colors and overall look is great, touch works perfect.
Quad core procesor Good build quality
Internal memory is good (16gb) for a china phone. Lack of gorilla display
1 Gb of RAM could be insufficient for extensive use. I had some concerns about order the phone from china because of the build quality problems they had in the past but this has changed over the years. Companies like Bedove and THL delivers excellent product for the money spent. Overall a good product with good build quality. A case for the phone could be provided in the package because you can't find one from local resellers

Good phone
Conclusions: Build quality, display resolution, responsivness and colors are great
Fast enough processor / memory
Camera does the job. It's good as expected in outdoor usage and less usefull for indoor usage.
Android 4.2 Lack of gorilla glass for this model
No phone cover present in package, this has some impact because of the particular design of cases.
Not rooted, this is especially good for installing custom launcher, fonts etc. Durability over time is still unknown. Good for the price and a good way to differ yourself from all your friends who have Samsung or Iphone without losing quality.

High line phone
Conclusions: great Ressolution 1920x1080. It have a great processor with a not despreciable 1Gb of RAM that does a fluid and fast use changing apps, having apps in background running. I fall in love with the headphones, never heared headphones like this.
The processor is 1'5GHz Quad, not 1'2GHz as i saw in the specifications, nice surprise for me.
The camera runs fast and well. Bluetooth 2.0? i don't understand 2.0 in this phone. the protection doesn't come with the phone, just screen (perfectly fitted) and another screen protector, but the screen protector has low quality. looks like Samsung, but is not the same. the microUSB connector is not right placed i think, i prefer it in other place, but is not important. the charger is good (500mAh) Is like a topline phone at a incredible price. I've looked in this site a lot of phones like this, and the best at best price.

Great phone!
Conclusions: Fast, long enough to hold a charge, a lot of internal memory, a bright screen. Slim body, light. Comfortable working phone and internet for two SIM cards. A very good camera. A loud sound in the speaker. Long battery is charging. No cover. Headset frequency range rather weak. It would be nice if the kit was a protective case. It would be nice to add an interactive guide in different languages. It would be nice to get the android update to version 4.3. I would like a more powerful LED flash. Only polozhetelnye experience. I will recommend to friends.

Best mobile in performance and image!
Conclusions: This is a quad-processor MTK 6589 with a very powerful GPU (same as Samsung Galaxy S4). It has very low energy consumption. It has large memory both RAM and internal SD storage... I do not have to remove any app to install a new one!!! Best of all is the sceen... It has Full HD (1960x1080 pixels) resolution. Superb imaging! It also has dual camera 13 MP (rear) and 5 MP (front) which are just nice. Lux sensor does not work in auto mode... screen goes blank and cannot reset that until taking the battery out! Antutu and other benchmarks provide very good results. Battery lasts 2 days with an average usage. I recommend this mobile. Performance is similar to HTC One / Nexus 4 but much cheaper!!

Wow, it is amazing!
Conclusions: screen, 2 batteries, price, design is OK, version 4.2.1. Dual sim GPS - it takes quite time to get it work, some times it is up to 20 minutes. There is an A-GPS option which is less accurate. The home button not "waking up" the phone, you need to use the button on the side. Version 4.2.1 maybe the update will fix most of the problems. I had Samsung Galaxy 2 before this and I'm very pleased Great value per cost. Don't pay for brands, unless showoff is your story. Get it!!!

Wow, quality at a bargain price!
Conclusions: It is snappy and responsive, the screen is a beautiful crisp 1080p. I am surprised to find that the battery is lasting me the full days use as some said the battery wasn't great. I charge it overnight with about 10% remaining. And on top of that, DX sent out 2 Batteries in the box! The battery could be slightly better, and I'm only saying that for the more avid user. I do play games on it, but only for 5-10 minutes at a time 3/4 times a day. Avid gamers may need to be plugged in. I only spend about 10 to 15 minutes calling people and recieving calls a day, so that doesn't warrant a proper battery review based on calls. This will definitely make me interested in the newer THL phones (W9 and up) It is a fantastic phone at an excellent price, don't pass it up, stay away from the big fish!

Great phone for reasonable price
Conclusions: The quad core, two sims and Android inside are fantastic. Good quality too for the cam. And the battery works more time than expected.
Only one screen guard into the delivery, buy another and also a protect case. The phone is rebooting from time to time, also when it is off and charging. This disturb me very much. I was waiting the phone from june 21 to august 5, much more than usually. Very nice phone for this price, but i am not sure if rebooting is soft or hard failure.
Buy a case and other screen guard, you have to keep it fit from long time.

Very good
Conclusions: Its screen is very beautiful and its speed is awesome. The build quality is very good, it is very good assembled. When I received it, it had a screen protector on its screen and another one in the package :) When you turn on the auto-brightness function, the screen goes black and you don't see anything, but you can unseeingly unlock the screen and reboot it with holding the power button and touch the reboot button. Its a firmware bug, the manufacturer said that a reinstall will solve the problem. It's an excellent phone, I like it very much. I had a Sony Ericcson X8, but this phone is much quicker. You could think that the 5'' screen is too big, but can easily get used to it :D Buy it!

Amazing for the price
Conclusions: Great phone looks great clear colours and great contrast on the screen, the gps has fast lock and stays locked even in built up areas, plenty of space and add a extra 32gig mini sd card for more space. None its a great phone for the price need to be carefull of the silver trim around the edge so I would advise getting a case to protect it being rubbed off in your pocket. Ordered a flip cover as there wasnt one in the box. Very impresssed with the speed, quality and look of the phone. Would def recommend this phone to anyone great size screen, and amzing colours and resolution. Camera does full 1080p at great quality recording.

Very good indeed
Conclusions: It is really a great phone, an S3 with bigger screen. Good graphics, speed and processing capability. Internet access is pretty good as well. The battery has more life than most of the competitors and it is easy to recharge No problem that I have seen. Sometimes it turns off itself without any reason (got something to do with the time set to the function of turning off and on to reduce energy consumption It should have a case to protect the screen like the one you receive when you buy a Samsung. Good for the price and a good way to differ yourself from all your friends who have Samsung or Iphone without losing quality.
