This phone has been the best ever.

Conclusions: I've bought 6 phones so far here, and this is the one that my wife doesn't change for nothing. It's really good. THL is a superior brand.

Great smartphone

Conclusions: This smartphone is simply amazing. Good quality 5'' screen with 720p resolution. The display is excelent. Very bright and good viewing angles. You can easy root the phoe and install a custom rom. It comes with a spare battery and a spare screen protector. A advantage is that you will find a lot of information and support for the W8 on the internet. Spare parts are also cheap. It has some problem with the GPS fix. It takes sometimes up to 5 minutes to get the current location. That is a common problem with smartphones with the Mediatek MTK6589 chip. But it's not a huge problem and I can live with it. It could be a little cheaper. You can't miss with this smartphone.

Great Smatphone

Conclusions: - Price - Battery Life - Smooth UI - Processor Speed - GPS takes a lot of time to find the exact position. The best smartphone I ever got with the half price I paid in my old smartphone. For Brazilian customers, you'll need to keep eye in Anatel's plans. They are planning to disable imported smartphone to proper work in Brazilian territory. There is a website with all specif information about this smartphone model. This model is not compatible with CyanogenMOD Android Custom ROM, so if you are planning to buy to test, think twice.

For a Chinese phone – this is wonderful.

Conclusions: Very good screen. Resolution is good. Can play HD games without a glitch. CPU is enough and the phone can perform multiple tasks without slowing down. Once a month or so, the phone disconnects from your home WI-FI without showing the sign for it on the top bar. If you have people calling you from a phone which number isn't saved on the device itself (Phone Contact), the phone does not recognize them when you get an incoming call. All issues are solvable with a new custom ROM, but at the moment, the phone is doing its job very well, and I’m not willing to risk the slightest chance of damaging it. AnTuTu Benchmark: 11950 This is checked after some extensive use, not just after opening the package

Great product

Conclusions: Screen: very big, great brgihtness, very responsive to touch. RAM Memory: great amount, suitable for most apps. Storage capacity: it is OK for most app, not very suitable for very large games. Video playback: youtube and video files playback are great. Camera: very nice day shooting. Slighty slow with poor light shooting. Flash is OK for close shooting une poor light enviroment. Video recording is OK. Speaker: too low volume in notifications and the like. Need to modify with engineering app. Earphones out: too low volumen, Need to modify with engineering app. Blocking screen: not as good as stock android. Settings: lot of setting are missing, need to use an app instead. Maybe giving user a more "free" setting menu (as android stock one) would be better. Nothing to add

Happy with my new Phone!

Conclusions: Affordable price. Lots of gifts: two additional batteries, two screen protectors, earphones and flip case. Not a Qualcom quad core :-) The white flip case DX sent to me doesn't fit the phone. The case seems smaller than the phone and I can't use the cover case. I have showed it to people who owns a Samsumg Galaxy SIII and the have been impressed by que overall quality of the THL W8. Don't pay too much for a branded phone. You can get a very good phone with and small price. Good phone at a very good price.

Very good product.

Conclusions: The quality is very good for this price. You can change everything you want by replacing the rom. Internet is plenty of information about this phone. The quality of the screen is awesome. It works faster than S3. You are not going to believe how light is this lovely phone. With normal use the battery lasts three days. The camera is good enough and very fast. It is difficult to find a cover for this mobile. This mobile doesn't fit in any cover from my local shop. Neither note2 nor s4 nor s3. Very happy with my new mobile. Thank you.

Excellent phone with a fantastic price

Conclusions: Package comes with a proper box with quality control seals. Phone has excellent functionalities that are comparable with other well-established brands. Good quality finish. Accessories includes USD cable, AC charger, headphone and an extra battery. The inclusion of a flip case and two screen protectors (one already sticked on) was a pleasant surprise. Comes only in white colour. Does not have customised software for synchronisation/backup with a computer. Certainly an excellent phone that is on par (or even better) with other established brands A must-buy!
