THL 2015 4G LTE can be used in the United States?

That depends on the provider, in USA the providers don't all use the same network bands. That vary from provider to provider making it very hard to answer that question. The THL 2015 supports 2100/1800/2600/800 MHz on 4G/LTE. Better ask your provider if they support these bands or not.

Good, I am buyer of a phone, it thl 2015 or this jiayu s3, ...
can tell me how is this phone .. it has can put some thoughts on it, bugs ... costum roms, ... and lollipop, update .... thanks

Interesting.
I'm going to be in Europe for part of this summer and while I was leaning towards the Elephone P7000, I was concerned that it would not be available in time. I have settled with this phone, and it should be in my possession shortly. I'm somewhat disappointed it ships with Android 4.4, but I'm hopeful it will receive Lollipop soon.
Does anyone know how heavily skinned this phone is? I'm wondering how close we are to AOSP.

Got one this morning after pre-release ordering at coolicool, with DHL +£15 tax to the UK, seems good so far, expect they'll give us 5.1 from 4.4.4 soon, noticed quite a lot of their stuff here http://www.needrom.com/category/thl/thl-2015 think I'll use Nova launcher for now, just under 41,000 in Antutu, keep us posted if they can be rooted if it's later required.

It can be rooted by VRoot_1.8.2.13135.
I already done that at the weekend.
I tried to create custom recovery by autocreate TWRP with no success.
Gravity box also not compatible with the latest xposed framework yet

Is this any use? http://playfuldroid.com/how-to-root-thl-2015-in-less-than-an-hour
Would there be any version of CyanogenMod available to us if it does start working rooted?

There will only be CyanogenMod if someone makes it for the phone, so far I haven't heard or seen any working on a port for the phone.

Put Bounty On Device?
Does anyone know of any websites that I can use to place a "bounty" on a device? I'd like a 5.0 ROM, and I'd be willing to put money into a pot that is awarded to the first person to complete this task. Does XDA support this?

Thanks for the info. Not good news.

Guys, do you also have a very low picture + camera quality? Any advice if I can change that?

Could someone check for me if the display is amoled? Please turn on black background on some lcd test app and check inside dark room if the display give some light or is completly dark.

Check post #1 I already show it in the full Review Video there, under LCD test/backbleeding test! The phone has no AMOLED. That is wrong info by some webshops.

Hi
thl2015 supports GLONASS? has gorilla glass 2 or 3?

Compass and Gyroscope
Hi guys, what about compass and gyroscope? Is Google Skymaps working properly. Thank you!

hello! whether on this phone to upgrade to Android 5.0?

No Android 5 update from the manufacturers yet, have had one OTA update from THL but not sure what it did. Does anyone know why some apps find this phone as rooted even without rooting it? I'm trying to get SkyGo to work (they are strict for DRM tv viewing) and also Trustable by Bluebox lists it as rooted out of the box - with some issues that THL should probably be working on too. Is there any way using it rooted to remove all the files that makes these apps think it is rooted then use the unroot option so aps like SkyGo would then work?
Also noticed Recovery TWRP over on needrom if this is any better than iRoot method?

Actually I wanted to, but now it seems to be hard get my hands on one. Most shops for some unknown reason do not recommend this model.

I know that GearBest have it in stock. As I've been looking at it. Out of interest what phone would you recommend most out of the ones your reviewed? I currently edging towards the Jiayu S3 Advanced (3gb version). But I've read that apparently it comes with malware installed on it. Have you come across this?

No I didn't have malware on mine, and if I had, I would just root the phone and remove the malware. But yeah the S3 is definitely a good choice.

That was exactly what I thought. Plus the S3 comes pre-rooted anyway, so you just have to enable it in the settings. It couldn't be any easier really. The only issue I'm having now is deciding where to buy it from. I've only ever used Merimobiles before. But I've read good things about Banggood and GearBest. Which would you recommend?

mine is totaly different
1 compared to the v1 of elephone p6000 (broken) and v2 p6000 the battery is much cooler is quite cool to the touch
2 my example has a more longer lasting battery they even gave me two covers one transparent and one s-cover clip on
3 i bought it at a later production run actually one whole month after the first gen phones where launched are you sure that phone is really a mijue and not a imitation even unknown phones are copied i think china does not know what copyright infringement actualy means?
4 my supplier never failed me yet can not vouch for other suppliers or customers every one has different experiences
dont like it move on or change you supplier for someone with a better reputation might give you better phones?
just a thought
good luck with your next supplier as the one you've chosen is clearly crooked

Price?
How much it cost?

Wow...HOMTOM look like they have lifted their game... This looks like a really decent phone....I wonder what price tag they put on it. But it certainly does stack up in terms of specs. I would love to be able to have a test run of it. If anyone knows how much please let me know.

Nowhere seems to mention if the frontal selfie camera brings a flash too. Does anyone know? I have a UMI Touch and it does have a frontal flash which is very convenient. Thank you.

That is because I read from this;

Primary Camera is 21MP but video resolution is 2MP.
and I am kind of worry to buy it.

Hi,
was wondering have you got the phone?

I have the phone, the camera is not that great. Decent sensor but too much smoothing. Hopefully can be fixed with a software update.

I have it for over 2 weeks now but not really tested it till now. My phone reboots nearly 10 times every day, thats sad. But there is new software from 2016-09-14 I have not tested yet. First I wanna backup the complete FW but do not find the right files like twrp or something else. MTK Droid Tool can not root the phone too.

Sad to hear all that.
Hope software can render better pictures and solve reboots.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Yesterday I made a Download with SP Flash Tool (no Upgrade) and got the new Firmware and a Factory Reset -.-
But the reboot problem still exists

My main complaints with the HomTom HT10
HARDWARE ISSUES
compass isn't available
NFC isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
OTG isn't available (it was advertised but removed!)
network reception is bad (3G/4G)
Wi-Fi reception is bad (3G/4G)
not detecting/connecting 5Ghz Wi-Fi networks
audio speaker quality (distortion and not enough bass)
battery losing energy way too quickly
camera quality is bad on low light situation
SOFTWARE ISSUES
- battery saving mode is too aggressive (cannot easily modified for a bunch of Apps)
languages preferences are lost if IDLE or turned off (if you set french language it will comeback later to Netherlands. it could be because Belgium country has multiple official languages (french/nederlands/dutch) or if because the smartphone was shipped from .nl post)
- defaults apps choice in settings is too limited
- If you choose to protect your device with a password (PIN/password/pattern) for intrusion your device is going to freeze and you will have to reboot !
- hardware navigation buttons cannot be modified / edited
- HomTom OS is much less complete than MIUI8 (or even UMI OS)
MAJOR MISC PROBLEM:
There is no official forum to post bugs reports !
There is no updates or fixes for those issues announced.
There is no tutorials yet to flash/root.

There is no way you can fit a microSD card into the nano tray, the microSD card is way bigger than a nano SIM.
The X17 Lite does NOT support any microSD card!

No it doesn't - You don't seem to know how the SIM tray looks! See post #9 there is no way you can insert a microSD card into the tray! So please stop that nonsens! unless you have the phone in your hand - EOD.

Does the z17 lite takes all the cases and screen protectors for Zte z17 version? Or there is a slight difference that makes cases doesn't suits both devices?
Thank you

Review
Unboxing
Accessories included with the CUBOT King Kong 3 are just standard, with a Type-C USB Cable, 5V up to 9V MTK Pump Express Charger, a SIM Card Eject Tool and nothing else. Unlike all Type-C devices you see on the market, this device, that doesn't feature an 3.5mm Headphone Jack, does not even include an adapter so you need to buy it separately hoping that it will work. Why? I have no idea to be honest, odd marketing choice i guess.
Materials
As expected from CUBOT, the device feels quite premium with a rubberized (or soft-TPU) body and metal sides for some structural rigidity, typical for IP68 Rugged smartphones.
The Type-C port is standard, with no cable compatibility issues, well-engineered.
I would have appreciated to see slimmer bezels, too much wasted space on the front.
Connectivity
5.0GHz WiFi Networks (802.11n only) are supported with a sufficient signal strength.
Dual 4G is also supported (but not 100% stable yet based on my testing, drops to 3G/2G frequently) and i haven't faced any reception issues.
No LTE Carrier Aggregation (to reach up to 300mbps in 4G+ aka CAT-6) is enabled here (and can't be enabled manually).
Software and Performance
The device ships with Android Oreo 8.1 and, using the latest OTA update, security patches are dated November 2018, as recent as they should be. The OS is clean, with no bloatware, and the included Google Suite is complete.
Nothing to complain about system performance, the HD+ only screen helps a lot with efficiency (no battery drain + low power consumption) and smoothness. Here you can see some benchmarks.
Camera
Unfortunately the camera is not the strongest part of this device, photos in low-light conditions feature an high amount of noise. Still, that was expected, since the back camera sensor is an old Sony IMX135 13MP that in late-2018 can be considered obsolete.
Conclusions
Considering the market that CUBOT is trying to fill this device in, this is a decent smartphone with room for improvements via software. I can recommend it to those who need a device that won't be abandoned the day after its release since, at least based on my experience with CUBOT smartphones, updates are frequent and user feedbacks are, usually, used to improve the device (like Dual 4G, it was not enabled when i got the device and via an OTA update they have enabled it).
Rating: 8-​

I forgot to mention that the device is 100% Google Certified so perfectly usable with Android Pay (NFC built-in).

Is this device rootable?
I couldn't find a decent instruction how to root the King Kong 3.

For such a price - I consider that this model with such features - is optimal for the purchase, so there is no particular disadvantage, is there a large frame at the top and bottom?

On my device, the GPS is the big issue. It is hardly ever receiving a signal and therefore useless. It seems to be an Android 8.x problem on some devices, but I still didn't find a sufficent solution. I might send it back and get a different brand, like the Uleforne Armor 5. Any suggestions considering the GPS issue?

Test it 3 month
I got it from 3month, and i'm happy with it?
4days battery, look will up to date, solid hardware, military ip68 rugged building.
Camera isn't best but sound enought for me.
I cannot find any easy rooted way, but its 8.1 stock on it, and i can delete useless Google apps, with simple ADB.
Otherwise, GPS works good after 1 minute luncher gpsnavy.
Borders top and bottom are 2cm long....
My opinion it's the best price/quality deal from now.

This is the worst device anyone can buy
After couple months purchasing this device started to have problems apps crashing and sometimes the app that crash made device reboot so after tried sp flash tools to reflash device the radio signal started to degrade eventually it couldn't read the Sim card correct anymore even shows the baseband and imei correctly. That last time I ever purchasing anything from China.
