Post #1 now also updated with a full video review and camera samples!

Looks nice, Im waiting for my copy of this phone will be fun to try it out.

I got one pretty good realization of the phone, but metal frame is not around a phone but only the sides. And Battery has 2800 mAh not 2100mAh but it's good. Will see how it gonna perform

Yeah, it writes 2800 mAh, but many people say its fake and in fact just a 2100 mAh.

After using the phone for about 3-4 months the speaker died the small one for calling. I can only speak on big speaker or headphones can someone tell me please what kind of speaker inside so I can change it. Is there a speaker from another phone that's fits to the Wico. Thanks for help people.
Have a nice day.

Thanks a lot.But I can't find the parts only phones and case and battery for this phone I looked on aliexpress and alibaba. Can you help me? I do my research on phone so it's little bit harder then on PC

Phone is very good, but I'm going to buy Elephone P8000.

Speaker
Speaker from Sony Ericson is good to replace in Wico.

Antutu 5.5 Score: 18.400
The design is very close to the OnePlus One, nearly 1: 1. Better than the Doogee Kissme, Elephone G5 or Landvo L200G which also are very similar to the OnePlus One.
Specifications:
- 5.5-inch IPS OGS HD 1280 x 720 (Sharp and bright screen!)
- MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3Ghz
- Android 4.4.2 KitKat
- RAM: 1 GB / ROM: 8GB
- Support Gravity / Light / Proximity Sensing System
- FM / MP3 / MP4 / Bluetooth / GPS function
- GSM + WCDMA networks: GSM 850/900/1800 / 1900MHz WCDMA 850 / 2100MHz
- 8MP (16MP Interpolated) camera rear / front 5MP camera
- HotKnot / Air gesture unlock!
- Pocket mode prevention / unlock gesture at Air (Without touching the screen!)
- Support for themes (also for the LockScreen)
- 2800mAh Battery
Pros/Plus:
LED notification
The camera is quite good, with light Double LED rear
Good HD screen, bright and good colors, sharp image!
Good design, looks almost like the originals OnePlus One
Genuine 4.4.2 KitKat - UI / OS is running, without much was etc.
WiFi / WLAN is very good and fast, even after removal from the router.
Cons/Minus:
No OTG or NFC support (well, Umi Zero and Elephone P6000 has indeed failed)
No Gorilla Glass, and the screen seems to be a bit thin
The silver rim is darker than OnePlus One. And acts cheaper.
The back is made of thin plastic cheaply.
GPS is very standard
Battery 2800 mah says, I think this is fake! I will cherish it as a max 2300-2500.

Battery problem
I put the same question in youtube, I like the phone but this is a major issue.
The battery suddenly goes down very fast at some level, maybe at 50% begins to lower faster and in one or two minutes the battery is at 1% and shut down. I tried lot of calibrate apps with no success, even the wipe battery stats in the recovery. I don't know why happens this, the battery lasts quite long but you never knows when it will begin to go down so fast.
If you can help it would be nice :good:

Sorry, but I don't really know how to fix your problem. My battery goes down normally. I would just try to full charge it, and discharge it for 2-3 times, and also use battery calibration apps. But as you already tried that, I'm out of suggestions. Maybe you try to ask NO.1 or maybe your battery is faulty?

Thanks. So do you think that a new battery would fix the problem... ? In banggood there are batteries for this phone but still i will wait some time to see if it solves in any way, the phone is new.

Can anyone with the Doogee T6 please tell me if it supports 5GHz Wi-Fi? That's 802.11a or 11ac - or is it 2.4GHz 11b/g only? Thanks....

Hello Bryan, I've checked the wifi setting but I didn't find the 5Ghz option It has only 2.4Ghz.

Hi all, I own a doogee T6 since a few days. In normal use, with data service on, I achieve only 3 days of battery life. After 10% the battery level falls down quickly and it turns off at 5%. I noticed strange activity during the last day if anyone knows what happened. You can check the battery stats on pics below (sorry it's in French because I live in France)
Thanks for reading. Nice day or good night [emoji106]

Many thanks, it seems my desire for an 11a phone at a decent price remains unrequited.

Hmm I see, but is it the price the problem? It's not expensive compared to other high-end device.

Thanks for sharing!
That phone is garbage by the way. Not shockproof, not waterproof at all. Keep it dry if it's raining or it's going to die.
Also the battery is not as advertised and finally the power button on mine broke.
If you don't believe me, look at the real reviews people have left and the comments of angry customers trying to reach customer service and being ignored. Don't read the fake advertising comments and don't watch the stupid drill video, they are just touching the screen, not trying to actually drill on it

HomTom HT7 Pro HD_MTK6735_2GB/16GB (Review/ROM/Recoveries/Discussion)

Hey guys... Here is my another real review of cost effective (Just US$80) smartphone HOMTOM HT7 Pro. It is an amazing camera phone which I am sure you guys fall in love with this price range device. ​

After 2 days of extensive use of this device I will give 9.5 out of 10 points for this camera. For very little price you will get a good specified device which runs on MTK6735 1.3 GHz Quad Core Processor with 2GB Ram/16GB ROM and HD 720x1280 pixel 5.5 Inch IPS, G+F lamination screen . The front camera is 2.0 Mega Pixel (interpolation 5.0MP) and rear camera is 8.0MegaPixel (interpolation 13.0MP) with flashlight and auto focus. It is included by massive 3000 mAh battery which can easily take out your day.
On the front side, top is equipped by a 2.0 MP camera alongside sensors, led notification light and on the down, capacitive touch buttons. The back side of the device is made of plastic (brushed metallic finish which gives a premium look), top equipped with 8.0 MP camera with flash light and at the bottom "HOMTOM" logo printed.
The frame is made of Aluminium metal which gives a nice look in this price range. The volume rockers and power buttons are place on left side of the device (trend is right side). Bottom is equipped with two speaker grills (one is just for symmetry) with normal USB point and a 2.5 mm jack hole on the top.
HOMTOM HT7 Pro runs on Android 5.1 lollipop version with near stock vanilla AOSP. You will get approx 11 GB out of 16 GB ROM usable and almost 1 GB free RAM always which makes this device faster and smoother. I had played ASPHALT 8 game and it was buttery smooth.
On the Antutu Bench mark it scored 24735 and Geekbench 487 on single core / 1392 multi core. The screen is 5 point touch screen and only Accelerometer, Light and Proximity sensors are supported. It comes with some pre-installed apps like Applock, Bagan Myanmar and Go keyboards. It support FM Radio and you need an earphone to use as antenna.
Sample Photographs snapped by HT7 Pro :
Its dual sim LTE device and also support SD card upto 128 GB. Expecting more..................... think again Overall it is a cheap and best smartphone under US$80 price tag.

I have this phone and the camera is quite good. But it's far from being a camera phone - te macro is not good at all and the focus is not very fast(not bad also).
The battery is nothing special.

TWRP 3.0.2 by Jemmini attached.
Hands on impressions
It is a nice phone as far as build quality is concerned. and there it ends.
CPU MT6737.
But a small battery of 2300mAh =1750mAh makes it difficult to use with ease.
Even with energy efficient MT6737CPU. it is weak performance of the battery.
CPU is clocked at 1.25MHz so it drains the battery.
Not very nice photos from the rear camera GC8024 sensor, 8MP. Photos with quit natural colors but a lot of noise and not sharp.
Generally nice with metal frame.
A bit greyish display typical for 60USD range.
Performance
The quad-core processor MediaTek MT6737 clocked at 1.3 GHz, has a Mali-T720 GPU and is at 1GB RAM associated. The 64-bit processor would should in any event on paper be better than MT6580. In practice it is the opposite. The framework is not running truly fluid, longer holding up times one should regularly acknowledge and when different applications running out of sight, the ZOPO Color F2 is truly moderate. Zopo Hero 2 / Color F2 is in this way appropriate for close to standard errands.
The touch screen is not accurate enough for high-speed recorder, the camera normal shooting unsuitable and the GPS a total failure.

With only 1Gb ram is really a crap device..
i understand the price range, but honestly 2Gb ram and decent battery are the minumim requirements to have a good chance to sell some units..

I agree as far as the battery is concerned. If 1GB was the only bad point than most devices like new Oukitel units and others in economy range 50-70 USD we should call crap.
But they sell some units anyway.
The battery and camera are the worst features in ZOPO Hero2 or F2 IMHO

This TWRP for zopo hero 2 works? I own the device
