Unboxing: What’s in the box?
It is one of the first cellphones that I have received factory sealed. So I was able to say that it was a brand new phone and no one else has ever used it.
After removing the sealing I could see the phone, a small foldable manual and an USB/data cable with a power adapter in two different boxes. The power adapter is suitable to EU wall-socket.
Casing & Build Quality
The build quality is very good. Nothing knars and there is a nice looking silver frame around the front of the phone. The whole body is, like the one of the normal Blade S6, made out of plastic but it doesn’t feel cheap. Some users of the normal S6 mentioned that they are able to push in the back of the phone with their fingers. This isn’t the case here. Maybe because the backcover is removable on this phone (on the normal version it isn’t).
If we stay at the back of the phone we will find the dual LED flash in the top left corner. Next to it the 13MP back camera and a microphone. The camera is framed by a silver circle just like the front of the phone. Approximately 2cm below you can find the ZTE logo imprinted in light-grey.
At low range you can a CE logo, the number „1588“ and a picture of a crossed out bin. The writing „Designed by ZTE in California Assembled in China“, that you can find on the normal Blade S6, is missing. Lately there is the loudspeaker with a small bump next to it so that the phone doesn’t lay flat on the backside and covers the loudspeaker.
On the right-hand side you can detect the volume control and the on-off switch down below.
The micro-USB connector is in the middle of the bottom and next to it in the right corner you can find a microphone. The USB-port is a bit special because you use it to remove the backcover of the phone.
The left-hand side of the phone is clean. There are no buttons or for example SimSlots like on the normal Blade S6.
The 3,5mm headphone jack and the IR-blaster are placed on top of the phone.
If we look at the front of the ZTE Blade S6 Plus we will be able to see the all-white borders and the black display. The position of the earpiece is at top in the middle. Left besides is a sensor bar and lately the front-camera. Below the screen is a blue circle. It’s the homebutton. If the phone is turned off or in standby the two buttons left and right next to the homebutton aren’t noticeable.
There is one more thing to mention. The phone has rounded edges.
As previously reported is the backcover, in contrast to the normal Blade S6, removable on the Plus version. If you remove the back of the phone you will find the 3000mAh battery, the two micro-SimcardSlots and the micro-SdSlot. Of course there are the dual LED and back-camera visible, too.
With its rounded edges and the thickness of 8,4mm the ZTE Blade S6 Plus feels very good in the hand. The plastic housing doesn’t feel cheap because everything is well build and it isn’t too lightweight.
The borders around the screen are big and according to this the dimensions of the phone are bigger than other 5,5“ screens, too.
Display / Touchscreen / Multitouch
The used 5,5” 1280x720 IPS HD-Display is great. I can’t see any pixels and the colors are natural. The viewing angle is stable and watching YouTube videos makes a lot of fun. You can adjust the brightness very high and this is why there should be no problem using this phone in sunlight. The automatic brightness adjustment also works well and reacts fast on changing ambient light conditions. So far there have been no ghost-touches or something like that. The touchscreen is very snappy and precise. Finally I have to say that it is a five point multitouch screen.
Processor & Storage
The ZTE Blade S6 Plus has the same processor like the normal version. It is the solid Snapdragon 615 octacore processor with an Adreno 405 GPU and 2GB RAM.
It’s a 64bit Prozessor and there are no lags noticeable. Not even if you switch fast between the different homescreens. Apps and games starts fast and works well. I could even play graphic intense games like Asphalt8 and RealRacing3 on highest settings without any problems. 2Gb RAM are enough space to run various apps at the same time. For example it is possible to hear music in the background and to surf on the internet at the same time.
The phone has 16Gb of internal storage. The storage is partitioned in System Rom, User Rom and Internal SD card. You can expand it with a micro SDcard with up to 64Gb. I have tested a 64Gb micro SD card from Sandisc and it worked like a charm.
2G / 3G / 4G
The ZTE Blade S6 Plus supports DualSim (two Micro-simcards) and 4G LTE. The reception is very good and without any abortions.
Attention: SimSlot2 only supports 2G! You can only use 3G and 4G LTE in SimSot1. But of course you can make calls or write sms with in both SimSlots.
Sensors
To see the supported/build in sensors please check the GoogleDrive link that I have provided at the end of my review.
Wlan
The Wlan reception/range is very good. It is even better than on my Meizu MX4.
Bluetooth
The Bluetooth range is very long, too. I have tested it with several phones and Bluetooth speaker.
Cameras
The front-camera has 5MP with a F2.2 aperture and a 80° wide-angle lens. The main camera on the back has 13MP with a F2.0 aperture and gets support by a dual LED flash.
The camera quality of both camera is decent in my eyes. The front-camera is good enough for selfies and apps like Skype and with the back-camera you can make snapshots and semi-professional pictures.
Please conceive an opinion by yourself by looking at the pictures at my GoogleDrive folder (link provided at the end of my review). All pictures were made with the preinstalled camera app without any changes in the settings.
Benchmark Tests
Please check the results in the GoogleDrive link that I have provided at the end of my review.
Firmware
The ZTE Blade S6 comes with Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box. Everything works fast and reacts snapppy.
The preinstalled launcher is called „MiFavor 3.0“ and looks good. There is no app drawer, so you find all the installed apps on the homescreen just like on FlymeOS or MIUI. You have to sort your Apps with folders for a better user experience. If you don’t like it you can easily download a different launcher with the preinstalled Google PlayStore.
Sliding up on the homescreen or pressing the menu button (left or right next to the homebutton) opens a menu where you can change the background/wallpaper or the animation when you scroll through the different homescreens. In the settings is possible to change the function of the two buttons around the homebutton. You can select that the back button is on the right and that the menu button is on the left side of the homebutton or the other way around.
If you hold the homebutton for a while (not only touch it) GoogleSearch will open. The ZTE Blade S6 Plus has a multilingual firmware and supports a lot of languages just like German, English, Spanish, French… .
Unlike the normal ZTE Blade S6 the Plus version doesn’t support SmartGestures (I couldn’t find any settings) but on the other hand there is another launcher called „Family Mode“. With this launcher every icon is very big and so it is easier to handle for older people who are sick of the sight of small things.
Moreover ZTE has implemented a service with the name „ZTE AliveShare“. ZTE claims that it is 40 times faster than Bluetooth. With this App you can get connected to your friends, share e.g. pictures and play games against them. I wasn’t able to test it in depth because I’m the only one in my area with a ZTE smartphone.
There is no option to see the battery percentage preinstalled. You can easily fix this if you install the app „Battery Percent Enabler“ by kroegerama. After the installation you have to set a check mark and reboot the phone. Then you will see the battery percentage and you can delete the app without losing the notification.
Root
It is possible to root the ZTE Blade S6 Plus using the curren version of KingRoot (4.0.0.233).
You can download it here: http://203.205.136.145/mmgr.myapp.co...&f=d388&p=.apk
Copy the downloaded .apk file to your phone, install the app, start it and click on "Root".
Audio
The sound quality is good and phone calls are clear as well on both sides of the line. Just like on the normal Blade S6, the Plus version has the little bump next to the loudspeaker as well. It really helps to improve the sound and the loudness if you lay the phone on its back while listening to music or watching a movie.
Notification LED
The ZTE Blade S6 Plus has a notification led in the form of the blue pulsating homebutton. It looks very nice and I like it more than the normal LEDs of the most phones.
Battery
The 3000mAh battery is non removable. It will always be hard to say if the stated value is real or fake because you can’t for example scale the weight of a built-in battery. The battery lasts very long and a screen-on time of more than five hours was unproblematically possible. Please don‘t forget that this really depends on the user behavior and can differ very hard from user to user. Maybe if you play games for a long time you only get three hours of screen-on time.
GPS
Supported
Compass
Supported
IR-Blaster
The ZTE Blade S6 Plus has a built-in IR-blaster on top of the phone. It performs vey well. I have tried it with the free app „Remote for Samsung TV“ from the PlayStore. Even long distances approximately 6m away from my television were no problem.
Radio
There is a radio preinstalled but you have to use headphones to be able to use it. It doesn’t support DRS.
Conclusion
All in all is the ZTE Blade S6 Plus a good looking phone, with great specifications and an outstanding reception of GPS, Wlan and networking. Everything works out of the box and all GoogleApps are preinstalled so that you can directly download tons of apps and games. The phone comes with the newest Android version (5.0.2 Lollipop) and until now I couldn‘t find any bugs or lags. Everything starts fast and reacts snappy. At the moment there is no working method to root this device. So if you definitely need root for some apps I give you the advice to wait a bit of time before you order (there is still no root for the normal Blade S6, too). The display and battery are good and the reception of GPS, Wlan are very good. I really like the IR-blaster but I see it as a gadget and will still use my normal remote. One thing that I can’t understand and where I really see potential for improvement are the large bezels around the display because they make the phone very big in comparison to other 5,5“ and especially to the new borderless smartphones like the Nubia Z9. An improvement would make the operation with one hand a lot easier.
Pro:
- powerful processor
- very good reception of Wlan, Bluetooth and GPS
- Infrared blaster supported
- Android 5.0.2 Lollipop with GoogleApps preinstalled out of the box
Neutral:
- Cameras
- Notification LED with only one color (blue)
- price
Contra:
- only SIM-Slot1 supports 3G and 4G LTE
- less accessories in the box (no case or screen protector)
- huge bezels around the display

Hey, very nice review.
Can you confirm, that shaking phone don't turn the LED on? I really like this gesture on my blade S6.
IR blaster is nice to use in pub, where is something ugly in TV you don't want to see
But for practical use I doubt about using it at home...Maybe if you lost your remote.
Do I have to change something in the settings before I test it?
With normal setting nothing happens when I shake the phone.
Settings - gestures & motions - turn on.
If you don't have this menu in settings, it is probably not supported.
This menu doesn't exist on the Plus model.
It is now possible to root the device. Please check my review for more information.

And follow these steps to switch to SuperSu http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60818978
Firmware ZTZ_Blade_S6_Plus_B02 available for download since 26/05 rom ZTE Hong-Kong support.
For rooting B02 I used KingRoot-4.1.0.249-release-nolog-201505211812_105001.apk (previous one did not work) and then I used SuperSUme.zip making it easier to replace the Kingsroot against SuperSU.
Thank you very much for the information.

Camera samples: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/b7gw08bpoyimm/Elephone_Trunk_Camera_Samples
Geekbench 3 Battery Test: http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/120146
In this review I will tell you the Pros & Cons about the Elephone Trunk. I will for sure not tell you that it is perfect! as I never have seen the perfect phone yet.
But for the price of 111 USD you get a really nice entry-level phone. And it does also have some surprising good things too! like the camera, build quality & UI speed!
This phone also has no stagefright vulnerability! So I believe it runs with true Android 5.1.1. The camera should be from Samsung, but unfortunately I could not verify this in any way, other than the camera does shoot some pretty good pictures.
Highlights
- 5.0 inch screen, 1280*720 pixels
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 1.2 GHz Quad Core
- Advanced 64-bit SoC
- Android 5.1.1 OS
- 2 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM
- Arc back cover design
- 13 MP Samsung main camera + 2 MP front camera
- Dual SIM Dual Standby
- microSD card support
- 2100mAh battery
- GPS with GLONASS support
- Supports 2G & 3G & 4G LTE network
- Network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz - WCDMA 850/900/2100 MHz - FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7/B20
Again a new model from Elephone, this time using the Snapdragon 410.
Some say that "Trunk" will be a new sub-brand of Elephone.
Just like "Huawei" for example has the "Honor" name.

Unboxing & Deep Review (Italian Language):
Review Elephone Trunk
Package, Content, Aesthetics:
The packaging is a pleasant surprise for the canons Elephone, white box with reason "floral" color from yellow to purple, the brand and model Elephone top Trunk moved to the multiplex on the right; the indications there are no indications about the characteristics of the smartphone, we find only the adhesive side with the two (IMEI could be a box no final product to be sold).
Box contents: Smartphone, 1 Power Adapter with USB socket Italian 5V 1A, 1 USB cable, 1 instruction manual in English. There are no screen protectors (the only 1 is applied) and there are no in ear headphones.
- External dimensions of the smartphone in line with other china phone 5 "; it measures 143 x 71.5 x 8.9 mm for just over 139g of weight.
- Construction of good quality, the use of relatively inexpensive materials.
The white model has received slightly turning to yellow, but a good impression.
- On the left side we find keys, and the right side we find the volume rocker on the top and the power button slightly lower.
- At the top we find the audio jack and the micro USB socket; on the underside of the microphone.
- In the back at the top center are slightly protruding from the camera 8 megapixel f / 2.2 (do not know if Samsung or Sony) (13 megapixels interpolated) and the LED flash, and the lower the speaker (unfortunately with a planar shape of the cover, the audio will be muffled with a minimum device on the table).
- In the front we find the earpiece at the top, the camera 2Mpixel f / 2.8 autofocus, LED flash and the light sensor / proximity.
- The keys have a soft touch white backlight fairly widespread and visible, the central circular shape, the side keys are simple dots; backlight / white LED does not seem to be associated with the arrival of notifications.
- Cover quite robust and with good joint with the body. The keys are on the cover, the finish is smooth, then a minimum slippery remains, we cannot see footprints because of the white color of our model.
- Screen with pre-applied film from the house which offers a good flowability and has a minimum of oleophobic treatment; there aren't more films in the package
- Display brightness is good, good viewing angle; HD IPS LCD screen with colors and sharpness well played good for the category.
- Touch-sensitive and comes with multitouch 5 touches, writing rapidly and with Swype function that you type with two fingers (keyboard used Google)
- Two sim slots: Both Micro Sim 4G (with dynamic selection software).
- Presence MicroSD slot with a capacity of 32Gb (I tested Samsung 64Gb and are properly recognized).
- Removable battery 2100mAh declared, to the test with amperomento, we found about 2000mAh; Geekbench test was not very positive, absolute, I expected more hours of screen instead maybe we are still a little rom and kernel optimized and standby power consumption is quite high.
- Android 5.1.1 with customization in icons and launcher Elephone UI (to be replaced immediately with something better like Nova, Apus, Cm Launcher).
- Open the app and switch between apps very quickly, stock browser with a few bumps as always (we recommend Chrome). Task manager by pressing and holding the center button and option to clear all apps.
- Excellent management 16Gb of internal ROM that are available in a partition to 11.7 GB for apps and data.
- Good management 2Gb ram by Android 5.1.1 .. more than 1.2GB of RAM free after loading some apps into memory at startup.
Connectivity:
WiFi b / g with no problem hooking stable, good power (not tested it in wifi dual band).
BT 4 tested pairing with headsets and car, no problems
OTG: NOT Working
GPS: fast enough, with cloudy sky outside has also fixed in 20 seconds 8 satellites (out of 14), with accuracy of 5 meters .. compatibility with satellites glonass.
Camera:
- Main camera Samsung 8Mpixel f / 2.2 (13Mpixel interpolated) that produces valid shots with daylight; good focus and flash of good power; camera interface optimized Qualcomm has many options; when using the flash or light conditions unfavorable, the quality of the shots falls but not overly, interesting seal at high ISO that allows to bring home click the "acceptable" even 1200 ISO.
- Sufficient video performance, slightly slow the focus and during the displacement along the axis of rotation, is present shuttering.
- Secondary camera for Selfie 2Mpixel with autofocus and face recognition, quality of the shots enough for video calls to some emergency selfie with good light.
Bench:
Antutu 5.7.1 over 23000 punti..risultato in line with that of other cpu quad core Snapdragon 410 1.2GHz.
Geekbench 3 with 1484 points in multi-core test and 490 in the single-core test.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench3/3578356
Geekbench Battery Test (approximately 6 hours of screen on time, I would say not great for a real 2000mAh perhaps due to poor optimization kernel / rom).
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/118368
Audio:
Good sound quality overall, good volume of speaker and earpiece.
Position of the speaker rear which happens to be unhappy if you usually place the device on the table and then playing Expect a loss of volume.
Good vibration and sound with headphones pretty good.
Conclusion:
PRO:
- Good quality of the screen has a resolution HD adequate to the class of the device, has a good brightness, good color and viewing angle of the display.
- Good assembly and product design, weight evenly distributed and good ergonomics.
- Price of about 100 € for a quad core CPU Snapdragon 410 2Gb Ram 16GB Rom, 2 SIM and Micro SD
- 4G bands 1,3,7,20 (then there is also the band 20 to 800Mhz essential especially with the wind)
- Dual SIM (both Micro SIM) and support up to 64Gb MicroSD least tested (declared support up to 32GB)
- GPS with Glonass
- Soft touch buttons illuminated with white light (at least in the white version of the phone)
- Android 5.1.1 practically stock of Sept. 2015
- Setting the device to wake from standby through the volume keys and turn off the display by double tap on key soft-touch center
AGAINST:
- The Adreno 306 graphics card hard with heavy games at HD resolution, however also titles like Asphalt 8 are still enjoyable without excessive sacrifice framerate
- Battery below expectations, 6 hours of screen with Geekbench could turn into about 3 hours with the backlight on using SIM and Internet traffic; definitely missing optimization software, there is still the possibility to enable the energy saving that seems only slightly affect performance.
- No No Compass and Gyroscope
- No support OTG
- No notification LED (illuminates the soft touch is not used for notifications)
- The keys to the screen though excellent, steal valuable space on the desktop and the keyboard while typing
- No cover or film since it is a brand new product
- Root currently not possible with the usual software tools.

I made a second test (but from 93%) and got this, a bit better http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/120146
Maybe it gets better after more charging cycles.
Tjos trunk seems to be good..
From 27th up to now, with heavy use 2h yesterday and more than 3h today, battery lasting a lot!
6h screen on time, automatic brightness (half bar) and some viseos, surfing, music..
...
I think for the first time, that in normal use the battery last longer than during the geekbench battery test.
On the other phones testd, if i had 9 hours of screen on time in geekbench, during normal use, i had about 4/5 hours of screen on time.. Very strange and interesting too...
oh, good, this is really a good smartphone, which website provides this phone coupons?

NO!
X5 Pro is cheap.. cpu quad core bad performance, low price camera 5Mpixel..
V5 M808 M560 wins in all points!
I own the Infocus V5 already. I am very surprised with it.
Only: at this time i can´t find a twrp-Recovery, a proved tool to root it, also i´ve found no stock rom for it.
But its a very amazing phone, no lags, perfect GPS, WIFI, Camera is - for the price - amazing. Display is nearly perfect.

Yeah, i agree.
I'm trying to build twrp from stock rom (extracted, but incomplete).
Stock rom is in proprietary format, available using google and search for infocus m808 stock rom.
Btw is not possible to enter t stock recovery with keys at boot, so twrp may be useless also if i could compile it.
I have to test with adb command to enter recovery.. I will update soon

Eh eh, clever guy!
I have ordered one of this, should arrive in a few days, then i try it.
Normally, for mtk phones i use this procedure... i root the phone with tools like root genius or similar then i make backup with sp flash tool.
After this i replace the backed up recovery with the founded one .
Obviously that procedure won't work if cannot root the phone (but for now it always worked for several times and several phones).
I'll let you know when phone comes.
My Unboxing & Video Review (ITALIAN LANGUAGE):
Mod edit by @Darth : selling site mention and video removed. Not on Xda please .
TWRP mentioned before works, but it's in chinese (better than nothing). I successfully flashed it and root package (works too).
I cannot make backup because mtk droid tools doesn't work with 64 bit mediateks so i don't feel confident to flash whole rom (brick).
Ah, to enter in recovery must connect charge cable and press power+ vol+.
Review Infocus V5 M808/M560
Package, Content, Aesthetics
The packaging is a classic white parallelepiped but that even minimal reports the nice Infocus mark on the front and the characteristics of the V5 on the back.
Box contents: Smartphone wrapped in its protective plastic, 1 Power Adapter with USB socket US 5V 1A White, 1 USB cable, a small instruction manual, a clip for sim compartment extraction and EU plug adapter.
- External dimensions of the smartphone in the middle of the 5.2 "screen with buttons; it measures 147.5 x 73 x 7.5 mm for a little over weight 150g.
- High-quality construction, the materials are able to give a good feeling to the touch, the aluminum body looks good quality and treatment, nice finishes and especially the back (partly resembles the nexus 6p and partly for Iphone 6 ) ..
- On the left side we find the volume rocker down and the power button slightly higher; on the right side we find the buggy for the two sim (1 or 2 Micro SIM Micro Sim Micro SD).
- On the upper side we find the audio jack on the bottom we find the micro USB socket, the main microphone and the speaker in the right (the left has a slit but no speaker inside).
- In the back in a tight top on the left we find the camera 13 megapixel f / 2 Omnivision OV13850 f / 2 on the side accompanied by LED flash and moments from the second microphone for noise suppression.
- On the front we find at the top the capsule headset, the camera 5Mpixel f / 2.8 Omnivision OV5670, the RGB notification LED and the brightness / proximity sensors.
- The soft touch buttons around the screen and are customizable by location and notifications button added into the phenomena settings.
- Outer pane that is not equipped with pre-applied film, excellent smoothness of the glass, there are no treatments 2.5d on the edges and there is a minimal treatment oleophobic (not excellent, but at least it shows).
- Display brightness and good viewing angles; LCD Full HD IPS screen which gives a very good colors, excellent sharpness for the category, good white balance even if it prefers shade slightly cool shades; you can still operate via the display menu to retouch certain parameters and to activate or not the function to eliminate the blue radiation of the screens through variation of color tones.
- Touch excellent and comes with multitouch to 10 touches, quick writing and with Swype function that typing with two fingers (used keyboard SwiftKey 6)
- Two Nano Sim slot: This 4G with bands 1,3,7 ... it lacks the 800Mhz band 20 widely used in Italy!
- Presence separate MicroSD slot with head capacity up to 128Gb.
- Battery is not removable from 2450mAh declared, to the test with ammeter we found about 2400mAh, which allow coverage of the day without any problems.
- Android 5.1 with stock rom December 2015.
- Open app and switching between apps very quickly .. Chrome browser pre-installed which is very satisfying to use and that makes navigation very fast.
- Fair management of internal rom 16Gb which are available in a partition to 10.8Gb for apps and data; in this case the system partition from over 3Gb removes available space for the App, which however in the presence of SD may be moved, where permitted, on the micro sd.
- Good management 2Gb ram by the system .. Approximately 1.2GB of RAM left over after loading some apps into memory at startup.
Connectivity:
WiFi b / g / n with no problem, stable coupling, good power and a preliminary check appears to present the 5Ghz band (I could not try with my modem, since it does not support it).
BT 4 tested coupling with headphones, smartwatch, car and other smartphones without problems
OTG: Fully Working
GPS: very good, the outside is cold fixato in 15 seconds, 18 satellites, with an accuracy of a few meters; Glonass compatibility
Camera:
- Main camera Omnivision 13Mpixel f / 2 that produces good shots in daylight; good focus; camera interface stock mediatek with some graphical changes to the snap buttons and video, but it does not change much ... if you want you can rely on Google apps such as Camera or the great paid app FV-5 Chamber.
- Good video performance with FullHD file with 3GP and MP4 format with room stock with other cameras
- Second Camera for Selfies 5Mpixel f / 2.4 with autofocus and face detection function, shots and decent video.
Photos and links Screenshot:
Bench:
Antutu 6 more than 36000 punti..risultato in line with the MT6753 CPU to 1.3Ghz.
Geekbench 3 with 2898 points in the multi-core test and 633 in the single core test.

Geekbench Battery Test (over 9h and 21 'screen on time, a little bit low for a 2600mAh but in practice allows at least 3 and a half hours of screen on the full day of use with active data traffic.
https://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/243639
Audio:
Good sound quality, good the speaker volume and earbud, the other party has no problem and feel the item is free from noise or interference or metallic effect, excellent implementation of the NXP Smart Amp sound module devoted to improving the audio quality general.
Good also the second microphone to suppress environmental noises when using smartphone in noisy environments.
the speaker position that does not suffer from sound attenuation problems if we usually place the smartphone on the table.
Good vibrations and sound in the headphones, FM radio with RDS properly implemented.
Conclusion:
Pros:
- Exceptional price of about € 100 from China and 130 € for a dall'Europs Octa Core 5.2 "FHD 2Gb ram and 16Gb quality rom.
- Two real Nano Sim slot.
- Ram 2Gb with over 1.2GB free and Roma with free 10,8Gb, fluid system and snappy, very high speed for the internal memory> 130MB / sec.
- Very good FHD display, good color and viewing angle .. tending to slightly cooler colors but also the display optimization also with various settings for the elimination of blue light emitted from the smartphone panels !.
- Great and responsive touch with 10 points defined.
- Good signal reception and excellent audio sector, much higher than the average of cinafonini .. and considered the price .. even more to report !.
- Led RGB notification.
- Good Omnivision camera 13mp OV13850 f / 2 offering good shots of the day; can definitely improve using other camera app.
- Not bad also the front 5Mpixel 5MP camera OV5670.
- Great design, as well as very thin and quite ergonomic.
- Great audio segment with two microphones and good call quality, much higher than the average of cinafonini .. and considered the price .. even more to report !.
- Volume ringtones, media and separate notifications .. great plus
- GPS with GLONASS, very precise and fast in engaging, Compass and Gyroscope present .. amazing supplied if we think of belonging end !.
- Permission management app, whitelist app in the background, dialers with blacklists and ringtones separate settings for each sim!
- Excellent speaker position if you listen to music with the phone resting on a desk.
- Radio FM.
- Micro SD support up to 128b (tested) with ability to set the same for app navigation.
- Root already possible with TWRP recovery already available.
Cons:
- Lack of band 20 to 800Mhz on 4G .. which cripples much of the smartphone in Italy, as well as Wind (for which it is crucial the band 20 to 800 MHz for 4G) other professionals in various areas of Italy use this band for the 4G connection. You could always go to 3G everywhere, but it should be reported as a weak point.
- Parts of the menu and basic applications in English language (nothing insurmountable anyway)
- Instead of single stereo speaker (there are two openings, but only the right one is with the speaker)
- All physical buttons on the left side (not like on that side, I find them uncomfortable).
- Soft keys touch screen that obviously take useful space.
- Lack of double tap to turn on the screen and gestures to screen off.
- Power supply and charging circuit not quick charge .. the power supply is 1A / h and it takes about 3 hours from 0 to 100% (off).
- Battery is not removable.
- EU plug adapter supplied by the shop and as always, proves very cheap and dancer (I recommend to insulate it well to US plug so that solidarity remains when switched on and off the socket).

Hi bro,
That would've saved me a lot of work had I seen your scatter file first. :crying: :laugh:
PS: Does anyone have 5ghz WiFi working or is it not supported
Other than that very nice Phone and ROM.
Wifi
Just for info:
I sent an email to Infocus support asking about 5ghz wifi and LTE Band 20 and this is their very short reply.
Dear Sir
m808 does not support the WIFI 5g, does not support LTE Band 20 (800mhz) Thank you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
:laugh:
As we know CPU does support Dual Band WiFi 2.4ghz and 5ghz also LTE Band 20 so It seems likely it's a licensing issue rather than a hardware one.
Although Many on this SoC do report Wifi issues so maybe infocus dropped the 5ghz for stability.
I will do some more research and ask them for the Kernel source code.

working on my M560
Hi guys. I was wondering here, can anybody port MIUI 7 to the InFocus M560? I found a GUIDE here in XDA Developers, but it looks very hard to do the process.
Hi,
in this thread we can talk about new model from Oukitel, it is about K6000 Pro. Most important is that they have put much greater attention to the quality of the phone, also it has much more powerful hardware than the previous model like 3GB of RAM. but certainly the most important feature is the high capacity battery with 6000 mAh capacity.

My Unboxing & First Look (Italian Language comment)
In Cons i can add:
- No backlighted soft touch keys
- No 64 bit Android version
- Usb connector is a bit deeper inside tge frame, so standard cables couldn't works well with quick charge or data transfer
- No Compass and No Gyro
[emoji106]
nice reviews people
Camera has a very poor perfomance. Rom is 32 bits (seems a port of 5.1 K6000 rom).
I have mine for two weeks.
I think that K6000 'original' runs better.
mine arrived yesterday: great build overall but as first impression it becomes really hot when you try to play at games
Camera color shift
Hi, please, I would like to ask you shortly. Camera on my Oukitel K6000 Pro has some kind of issue. As well as on my Bluboo Xtouch, it shows some color deviation aroud the borders of taken image. At specific circumstances in the middle, there is the circle which looks to represent colors correctly and outside of that circle the color is shifted to blue. Both phones behaves the same. In some cases its not that visible, in some its dramatic. Im not sure whether its fault of some picture profiles/scene profiles, or its fault of optical elements. .
Then, the display color is pretty cold. It would deserve some correction. Can I somehow tweak it? Calibrate it to look more natural. Or can you suggest some color correction app with low battery drain?
Otherwise I am very satisfied and pleased by the phone. Really balanced in allways, well constructed phone.
Thank you for help guys.
Mike
I have just figured out that there is an earlier K6000 Pro thread on XDA, so please use that one instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen.../oukitel-battery-beasts-k6000-k10000-t3279075
@Lt_Columbo_87 @megthebest @X61 : if possible, please move your review on that other thread, so that this thread can be closed and all information merged in a single, and complete, thread. Thank you

Have you fixed the wifi bug? I am on the latest rom and noted the wifi was always running. The issue is with background scanning. If you have background scanning on and turn wifi off, wifi never actually stops running. All you need to do is disable background scanning on the wifi page and you will be good to go.
low score
the score from Antutu is too low, looks like the performace will not good. Just hear that bluboo release a new phone Maya max, which looks great, and im looking forward to try it.
One question
Anybody can please tell me if long pressing the home butto bnrings to google now and if the function "now on tap" works?
Thanks
How to show open apps in oukitel k6000 pro?
Hi guys,
I just purchased this phone and it actually blew away my expectations with such low price and all nice features incl huge battery. Pokemon Go apps known to drain battery pretty fast but this phone can hold it very well. I don't need to charge for entire day.
Now to the issue. My old phone is Samsung Galaxy S4. Now if I wish to switch from apps to apps just like tab button in laptop/PC, I simply press home button for 2 seconds and it will show all open apps. I simply choose the apps I want to jump to and walla! it opened. Now the same result can't be achieved with Oukitel K6000 pro. Pressing home button longer simply bring me to google search.
Question is how to show open apps and switch between opened apps in this phone? Do we have luxury in setting the function of buttons to our liking?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Ricky

Hi, maybe your battery is faulty, I can play real racing 3 for hours and the battery not consumes big amount.
To switch app to app you have to long press the left buttom
problem
Hi, I have inserted the USB cable to connect to the PC, but there is no connection. Can you tell me how the exchange of data between the computer and oukitel 6000 pro
thank you
Can someone please tell me why every One Plus 3 new and used is more expensive on ebay vs Oneplus's site?
eg.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/OnePlus-3-64GB-Graphite-Unlocked-Smartphone-Brand-new-/112064430620?hash=item1a178f821c:g:-toAAOSwtnpXjp-m

Just go with the one that makes most sense to you. Does it really matter why one is more expensive than the other? ?
Perhaps someone is willing to pay that much and trust eBay with payment and return policy. Usually happens with exclusive items that are hard to get. Not sure why some idiots think they can sell it for more from eBay?

Lol it makes more sense just to buy from OnePlus when it's up to 50 dollars cheaper than stupid ebay sellers, nonetheless... Should I get the oneplus or go with the nexus 6p??

Check the features of each closely then decide what you are willing to pay for right now. I think I would prefer the 6p simply because of the front facing speakers. I just couldn't pay the price right now. Here I am with the Oneplus3. I am mostly pleased with it. You have to decide for yourself for the right reasons.
By the way, I got mine on eBay for $370 and free shipping.

they are pretty much the same cost, thats why its sucha a struggle lol thanks though!
Because there are too many stupid on this earth
OnePlus takes PayPal payment as well as credit cards. Buy from them and pay 10 bucks more for 2 day delivery

Sellers on Ebay have to cover selling fees. But you don"t have to buy there if you don"t want to. And there might be people that want the phone right away vs waiting for OP to ship it in 1 week. Who knows.

ehh okay. I'm still so stuck. the nexus looks better but its pretty old compared to the OnePlus. If anyone has suggestions on why one over the other. I do like the front facing speakers but i dont think thats enough to swing me one way.
Because you get the "odd" people who think they can profit from selling a £310 phone for £500. The device is very very very beautiful but it's by no means "rare" and anyone buying from these punks need their eyes testing.

Unfortunately what you have stated is exactly what is happening in my country SA, where even reputable companies are selling the OnePlus 3 for much more than what it's supposed to cost. I wanted a new phone and have set my sights on the OnePlus 3 so I bought it for more than its recommended price. Still I'm not sorry for buying it though. It really is a rare commodity in the vast majority of smartphones. :good:

One plus 3
Build is great
Size
Headphone jack quality !!! Amazing
Camera is so fast
Fast charging
Os is great because cause you can change so many things
Faster than a nexus ... It is .
One of those phones that just belongs in your hand
Nexus 6p
Dual facing speakers are great but the bezel size is a joke and cannot fit it in any pocket ever made for normal people. Maybe if you are a giant it would be OK.
Camera is superb all round apart from lack of iOS. Shutter speed is good but there Is a noticeable delay after each shot which bugged me bad.
It will warp and is built cheap regardless of materials.
Top heavy.
Slippery but so is the op3.
Stock Android is boring ...shoot me..... So many features missing like clip tray for many copied items in keyboard.
Most importantly you will only be able to get a 32gb model at the same price and that's what I had .... Extremely frustrating as 32gb is not enough these days.

Thanks man, great points, you clearly lean towards the 1+...in the last day, I've decided to just get something cheaper that I can root and play around with until the next line of nexus's comes out...

Check out the ZTE Axion 7, dual front facing speakers, 64 GB internal storage, 4 GB RAM, dual SIM or replace 2nd SIM with up to 128 GB microSD card, Snapdragon 820 chipset, great camera with 20MP/8MP resolutions and dual LED main flash, long lasting battery, Quick Charge 3.0, fingerprint reader, Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow), and the same low price as the OnePlus 3 ($399 US). The only thing it doesn't have is an infrared output to control your tv.

• Dual Image Stabilization camera (OIS + EIS) to capture crisp, high-resolution images and video without a tripod.
• Superior performance powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 and 4GB of RAM.

OP3 has 6GB RAM and YouTube tests suggest it's a quicker phone all round. Apart from the S6 card slot I can't see any advantages over the OP3

According to the OP's profile, he's in the United States and has Verizon for his carrier. The ZTE Axon 7, according to willmyphonework.net, is not fully compatible with Verizon; the only 4G band it supports is Band2-1900MHz. In fact, it's only fully compatible with 2/60 carriers in the US, so the Axon 7 is most likely not a good fit for the OP regardless of the rest of the phone's specs.
Just go to the official website of OnePlus for buy your device.

If the OP needs a phone right now, the LTE Axon 7 is not a choice.
I believe the Axon 7 has the radios for most networks all over the world [?] but is waiting for Verison certification.
With the OnePlus 3 he will settle for 1080p instead of quad HD, a down firing speaker instead of dual front speakers and dedicated Hi-Fi processors, no SD card, a slightly smaller battery, and a radio just for Verison type networks. However, he will be able to unlock the bootloader and may score slightly better on benchmarks.
The OnePlus 3 and Axon 7 both have the Snapdragon 820 CPU and Adreno 530 GPU.
The OnePlus 3 has an additional Quad Core, Kryo 2x 2.2 GHz, 2x 1.6 GHz processor.
[Correction: the Kryo is actually the cpu in the Snapdragon 820 chipset - there is no extra processor.]
The Axon 7 has an additional AKM 4961 hi-fi chip, AKM 4490 32 bit DAC, and VoLTE+ HD Voice codec (20 Hz to 20 KHz) for perhaps the best audio around.
For those who can afford to wait and see how things work out, the Adreno 7 for AT&T is shipping JUL 27 from Amazon, and AUG 17 from the LTE website. We don't know if it's bootloader can be unlocked. I'm waiting to find out.
OnePlus Three cost
A very good reason to what you have seen is that people are trying to sell them for higher prices on ebay due to the fact there is a wait time if you try to buy one from OnePlus direct. Eight to nine days of waiting is fine for many people, but there are some that want one as soon as possible. Again, this is just a possible reason.
