Doogee Dagger DG550 White 5.5" OGS IPS, Kitkat 4.4, Octa Core 1.7Ghz MTK6592

Hi, I ordered the 5.5 inch Doogee Dagger DG550 in white last week from Gearbest, I received it with DHL Express after just 3 days. I did not want to spend much, but still wanted a nice phone, so that's the reason I picked the DG550. For me it seemed to be a good choice and the design is very similar to the inew v3. (just bigger). I know it has been already out for some months, but the start price was too high for my taste, so I got it now because Doogee this month made a pricedrop on the DG550.
So I thought I will give you my version of a full review of the phone! So far I am very impressed with the phone and the stylish design. I especially like this model with the white frame because it makes the black screen look even nicer - and it stands more out than the all black version.

ROOT 4.4.2 KitKat
ROOT KitKat with http://www.shuame.com/en/root/ - it may takes 2-3 tries before it end up with success, but it DO work in the end. Remember to reboot the device after the ROOT succeded.
Camera & Samples
With HDR and without HDR
Indoor / closeup
Normal outdoor shots (standard auto settings)
Root
Root the ROM (works also for Kitkat) with RootGenius http://www.shuame.com/en/root/
Memory & RAM
The phone comes 1GB RAM and 1,5GB internal, and 12,2GB storage.
It also supports micro sdcards up to 64GB.
For normal daily use this is fine, the phone runs very smooth. Only thing is that I could wish to have more than 1.5GB internal for apps, but I guess this can be hacked/changed with other EBR files.
Wifi & reception
The WiFi has a very good range, and it is really fast. Have used it a lot the last days and zero problems. The reception I would say is average and normal. Like on most MTK6592 phones.
Batterylife
The batterylife is very good on the DG550. I can use it over 1 day with normal usage.
It also support special power saving management (Power Saving, Lower Power Mode, Screen Saving Mode) so if you want to save the battery during the day, just activate this.
Antutu Benchmark 5
I get 28340 in score with 4.4 Kitkat

Cons & Pros
Good
- Clear and sharp screen, real OGS/IPS, when the screen is off it is totally black!
- Vivid screen and good viewing angles. The touch sensitivity is perfect!
- The sound from the earspeaker is in my DG550 pretty loud, I don't think it is low
- The build quality seems to be good, I have no crooked corners or something like that
- It is a bit heavy in the hand, but in the nice way, feels like quality
- Supports OTA, so you can update the phone
- Supports Power Saving management (different settings possible) and CPU power limiter
- Very fast and good GPS
- Good WiFi range with good speed
- Battery is good for 1-2 days with normal usage
- It is smooth and has stable software
- The compass works fine after you have calibrated the sensors
- Backlight in the softbuttons
Bad
- No notification LED
- Does not come with Kitkat 4.4 out of the box, but you can flash it yourself
- The backcover feels just like matt thin plastic
- Soundquality and reception is average, not bad but also not super good
- No NFC or wireless charging builtin
- Only 1GB ram, but it still runs very smooth
My verdict
The Doogee Dagger DG550 is a very stylish smartphone - especially in white. It is very cheap, and for the money you get a lot of smartphone. It is hard not to be impressed about the big sharp screen when you have it in the hand. It is smooth out of the box but of course even more with Kitkat 4.4 and has no software bugs. If you want a cheap phone and does not need things like NFC and wireless charging then the DG550 is a very good choice in my opinion. I personally give it 9/10 - I love the phone!
Very stylish simple design!

Hi s7yler,
I bought one too, but I have some issues. My phone stuck on boot and now after recovery with original rom I don't have IMEI and signal. I resolved the Imei problem but I don't have signal yet.
Other problem is some apps like Antutu do the phone restart.
Do you have a original backup and a backup made MTK Droid Tools. I sent message to Doogee support but I didn't receive answer.
Tks

Did you try 4.4 rom? Flash it with SP flash tool v5.1408.00
For imei problem you need SN Writer 2.1324.0 (google it)
Where do you live? Make sure that your carrier supports GSM 2G: 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz

I used this phone about 3 days with no problem. After this stuck I can't do this work perfectly again.
I tried 4.4 but the problem is the same. I resolved the Imei problem with the MTK droid tools and MTK engineering mode. I can see the corret Imei but no signal yet.

Ok that sounds strange, are you sure it is not a hardware error? Did you buy it from new?
I would try this
1. Factory reset phone completly
2. Flash new ROM
3. Wipe all caches/dalvik/factory reset again
4. Check IMEI number and SIM card.
5. If still no signal, try change to 2G only or choose manually search for network instead of automatically
Are you sure you got the correct IMEI into the phone? and you dont need MTK engineering mode.
Just have the phone rooted, then start MTK droid tools, on the first screen (where all the info is) then hit the button IMEI/NVRAM (button is only avaiable if your rooted) and a new window will popup, here you can insert the IMEI number in both fields, and save it to the phone. After that restart phone and thats it.
Regarding Antutu, did you also try Antutu X? (Antutu 5) from the Play Store.
Original ROM (it is called 4.2.9) can be found on needrom.com - just search for DG550.

Did you try these sims on another phone.
Sometimes Mobile network itself deny registration of the sim in the network due to some issues.
This happens often when you use a super sim which is used to bypass sim lock.
It can easily be resolved by putting the sim on another phone and resister in the network manually.

Yes, I did all this steps. First time I changed the Imei with Mtk engineering mode other time with MTK droid Tools, but the problem is the same.
When a run Antutu X it's restart in the same part after the mini droid, a screen like fireworks.
I'm using the original rom and I tried other three roms.

Contact Doogee and check if you still have warranty and send it back, your phone is not normal. I have no issues at all with mine, works perfect, even the loudspeaker is clear and loud (something which has previously been criticized).
Maybe you have a fake version. Do you have the mark on the side of the box you can scratch? to verify that it is original Doogee product?

I saw many people reflect the DG550 mobile phone screen easily broken, so I won't buy DG550.

I don't know where you have read that. But in the Doogee Dagger DG550 treads I have been following people have had no problems with the screen. And actually the screen is really good, and the sensitivity is much better than on some other Chinese phones - I have never read about anyone having screen problems. So I don't agree with that, actually this phone is really good for the very low price. And Doogee also have supported it really good.

The DG550 screen is lovely. I did manage to get a small scrape on the screen just before my case arrived, but it is really great quality.
On the subject of phone signals, I have two SIMS in mine and can get a 3G signal with either of them. The only strange thing is that, with my Virgin SIM (my main account), t works perfectly except when I'm at home. When at home, the phone thinks that I'm roaming! (Roaming is off on my account). Yesterday I was out with a good H+ signal, got home and it switched back to roaming. I can force it to reconnect an all is well, but a bit later it thinks its roaming again! Can still use data, calls and SMS and they do not show up as roaming on my account!
No problem with my Sainsbury's SIM. This is my second Virgin SIM (the first got confused when it received my old number). Both have exhibited the same weirdness.

Some carriers use internal roaming to lower the costs, its kind of weird. But how it is. The roaming problem your talking about has probably nothing to do with the phone, but more your SIM / carrier / provider.

bugee kitkat
yesterday i upgraded my dg 550 to official kitkat and i discovered some serious bugs. First my dagger makes reboot when i plug it in for charging!! Second the charging is making too much, i plug it in 4 pm with 18% and 7 pm is 70% which is too long.
In the previous 4.2.9 the dagger was 100% in less than 2 hours!
This is for me a reason to get back to 4.2.9
Now the thing that i like is ,changing the ebr files , having 7 gb space for apps. So if i downgrade could i change also the ebr files in 4.2.9 , or it want be possible?

I also received this nice phone and I am very satisfied with it. It come with 4.4.2 android_4.4_2014/09/25, but it is not rooted. I try several diferent ways to rootit but no succes. Framaroot, RootGenius, Towelroot, Baiduroot, but nothing works. Is there any way to root it without changing original rom? I also want to install TWRP or CWM for latter work with flashing roms and to make backup . Any help, please!

I like the phone's characteristics but I'm concerned about the battery life. Only 2250mAh for eight cores is a bit weak. What do you think?
Do you expect the phone to have any support for the upgrade to Android L or to any other alternative upgrade?

I just purchased this phone.
I think for 102Eur is a great phone. If it have some problems, it isn't the only one. All chinneses phones have problems everywhere. The thing is if it compensates what you paid for it.

I also ordered it. I'm still waiting for it but I hope I won't be dissapointed. I hope that it will have some support (new ROMs, firmware updates etc.), since there has been a lot of interest in preorder period.

I think the official launch is on 9th Oct. We will wait at least two weeks more to put our hands in it.
Elephone p2000 at least seems that has good support and Elephone releases new roms when is needed. Also, every Elephone has been rooted easily, so that's good. Take also into consideration that we're with Android 4.4.2 .. other phones are still with 4.2 or 4.0, so we're updated for a few years with this version.
I think we take a good decision, and believe me, I search the whole internet and this is the best phone I found for this price. :good:

We just have to keep this topic alive, so that we can discuss about the phone once we get it. I already own a chinese phone with MTK6577 and 512MB RAM, Android 4.0 and I've been very satisfied with it. So obviously Elephone g6 should be a big improvement for me. I also like to do some improvements to the phone when possible, that's why I'm hoping for good support.
As far as the price-quality is concerned, I'm sure there is no better phone on the market at the moment. Only the battery still worries me...
Hopefully we'll get it ASAP.

I own a Sony Xperia Neo (1Ghz, 512mb ram, 384mb of memory to apps, 3.7'' and Android 4.0 ... slow as hell!) so this G6 should be a big improvement to me too! the only thing that my Xperia will be better is the camera and flash, so, we will see
The phone should be shipped in 9th, so -2 days!

I would just wait, all the new Chinese models will be a little delayed because of the Chinese national holidays. Not only from Elephone but also from all the other Chinese brands. And I think it is good that they tell the truth, and actually do the tests properly before they ship the phones out to all the end customers. So we don't will be having problems in the end.

I agree, just wait for one more week. If you waited that long, one week isn't that much
I look forward to getting a good product, hopefully well tested and with some suport and updates available in the future.

I want to wait, but I can't!
We hope that the product is at least good, with good support and few updates.

Still no one received the phone?

Myefox delayed shipments without explain nothing... Look for some hands on until place my order!!

Wonder if anyone has received this phone yet I am looking for a budget smartphone to replace my nightmare Samsung Galaxy ace which is getting near the end of its contract.
My situation is I done a google search for a Blackview Crown review- 5inch Octa core Android 4.4 Smartphone 2GB Ram 16GB Rom and found the following thread on this site -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/blackview-crown-review-5inch-octa-core-t2844265
Someone on there said he thought this phone would be better and a few other agreed, however I cant really find much first hand feedback on this phone.
I know nothing about rooting phones I am a basic user who just wants a reasonable smart phone but my existing phone does have a huge amount of bloatware that i dont use so would not like that on a new phone.
Just wanted to keep this thread alive as this phones looks perfect I am in the UK where the cost of this is just over £92 or $150 and using the Three network on the 800MHZ band so was hoping people could give it the thumbs up.
Thanks
Ian

I expect to get the phone on monday. I will be able to tell some more then... Finally!

waiting for your review. specially please post some camera samples. Im worried about the camera performance. thank you very much.

I received the phone. So far it looks good. Touchscreen is very responsive, no other preinstalled apps. OS really is Android 4.4.2 KitKat as stated. It has also already come rooted as SuperSU. Antutu Benchmark score is 29004.

Hi. Can you add some more photos? I'm quite interested in buying this phone to my wife, but I'm afraid about camera quality, and battery life. So can you say something about it? And generally your opinion about whole phone.
Thank you in advance.

Fatastic. Finally an blow-$200 phone with front Touch ID. I'm waiting for today's "snap-up" event as they call it. But when will it be delivered?

Very beautiful phone, I purchased Ulefone Be Touch 2 in August 5, I received my phone after 5 days.

There is a flash sale at 17:00 on http://goo.gl/sgucAi . The phone will be in stock on 2015-07-01

I like the front Touch ID

Its an awesome looking phone I might be getting one but I will have to see..If I get one I will do a review.
There's a few things I really like about this phone
1.touch ID
3GB ram
3.Android 5 lollipop
There's also a flash sale at Geekbuying and other stores but you have to be quick & LUCKY to get it at the flash sale price.
Iv got the Ulefone be pure at the moment & the camera on that phone is spot on but the phone lacks lollipop rom & bigger storage I took this photo with my Ulefone be pure

I was trying thay snap up crap for 2 days now and while I was being pretty fast I didn't have luck.
Did anyone else try?
Any luck?
Any tips?

I saw on their facebook that they'll make custom ROM for the Be Touch 2. Many people vote for CM and Miui, while i myself like CM.

Yeah I saw it. Just voted for CM as well.
The flash deals never work for me, I just accept it and bought one for 220..
on 1949deal it's the cheapest. It comes without 'free gifts' (screen protector and some sillicon sleeve-cover) which I don't want anyway. I can use that 10 bucks to buy a proper flip-cover
The Be Touch 2 has the same measurements / size as the Be Touch 1 so you can just buy those and they will fit.
I am really looking forward to this device! The fact Ulefone is active on their Facebook and tries to get some custom ROM's for their device really helps with the idea of long time support (although I have really no idea).

Flash sale is real. Just managed to get one: D
Some places on aliexpress do 30 off flash sale as well as 50.
Just so you know.
Good luck!

Okay I got this info directly from Ulefone
Ulefone plans to make custom third-party ROMs for its newest flagship Ulefone Be Touch 2.
Ulefone, first of all, is going to make one custom ROM based on the UI desired by most of its customers before start the second one. In a survey on the company’s Facebook Page, most fans voted for MIUI and Cyanogen Mod - among others like EMUI and Flyme.
“People want that it provide different interaction experiences and variable themes, and in the same time, they want it to be light for best performance"
"Ulefone now take both factors into consideration and make something people feel inspiring and good to use simultaneously" said Ulefone CEO Jason Liu.
These days, Ulefone received feedbacks involving custom ROM from many users, most of whom suggested CM.

No NFC
It's 4G and 2G, you don't need to swap the sim.
But one sim needs to be in 2g mode when the other one is 4g.

Jiayu S3+ review new model MT6753

Greetings to everyone. This is one of my first reviews here. I hope this can make you have a better idea of what to expect of my new phone which I received recently from China (Jiayu S3+).

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Jiayu S3+ is a 5.5" phone. It has Mediatek MT6753 1.3 Ghz (8 cores) and GPU of 3 cores.
it comes with Android Lollipop 5.1, has 3 Gb of RAM, NFC, internal FM radio chipset (doesn't require internet connection), 16 Gb ROM of internal memory, upgradable up to 64 Gb using MicroSD memory card.
Multilanguage ROM include lots of languages, Google Play and its services works flawlessly.
Backcover detail
Screen
The screen have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, IPS display. Is fast and precise to the touch. Its pixel density is 401 ppp. Brightness is quite notorial and its visibility indoors is very good and quite good outdoors.
GPU is powerful enough in order to run all the games of Google Play nowadays without a hitch even at the high resolution the mobile has to bear. I test Need for Speed, Andry Birds 2...everything runs smoothly.
Here can apreciate the lower zone where capacitive buttons are placed. As you can see the buttons glow once touched.
It is important to notice that the S3+ have coloured led notification on the front.
Sound
Sound is very powerful, with no distorsion whatsoever although maybe more bass deepness would be apreciated. To listen music long time maybe better a bluetooth speaker would be more pleasent but when listening radio stations or voice conversations during phonecalls its loudness is very crisp and clear .
Here you can see the backcover with Jiayu logo printed on it which gives an elegant touch to the phone. Also can see the speaker mesh.
Here a close detail of the side volume and power buttons.
Connectivity
It supports 4G and 3G. Is a very suitable model specially in countries which supports these bands:
3G (900 / 1900 / 2100 mhz)
4G (1800 (b3) / 2600 (b7) / 800 mhz (b20)
2G (850 / 900 /1800 /1900)
Supports also NFC which lets you pay without having to use a credit card. Lots of banks are offering this new technology. As you can see the NFC chip is inside the backcover.
The phone can be handled quite well with one hand although requieres practice and using it with both hands would be recommended.
Although being a 5.5" phone the S3+ fits fine in any trousers pocket. The feeling one have is like having a 5 " mobile phone.
Its thickness is not indue as can be seen here
The Jiayu S3+ supports microsim cards. Insertion is very easy .
The battery consumption should be improved. Perhaps due to a ROM optimization issue the consumption is not very optimized . Good point though is that the S3+ have an MT6753 processor with somewhat reduced frequency (1.3 GHz) compared to the MT6752 (that is 1.7 GHz). With an optimized ROM surely the margin of optimization will be improved so that battery consumption can easily be improved regardless the S3 Advanced (MT6752)
A plus to consider regarding the battery is that it is removable. This is very imporant because if the battery fails only will be necessary to change it for another one and sending it back to China for repair will not be necessary.
Here you can see the location of the two speakers just below the battery.
Battery consumption is greatly reduced by selecting automatic brightness but we all know that the phone is more enjoyable with a brightness of 100% sound at max , etc ... so I consider essential to have another extra battery if it is intended for intensive multimedia use.
If instead you plan to use it basically as a normal phone ( receive calls, not using much the speaker) then it's probably the battery can last about few days perfectly.
Camera
The camera is a Sony IMX214 with an excellent response, it has autofocus. 13 Mp in the back and 5MP front with dual led flash.
In short:
Pluses (+)
-quality of the screen. Looks luxurious, it is a LG panel, have great quality and has a noticeable and accurate response
-3 GB of RAM
-Great CPU and powerful GPU. It is an eight-core and the 3 core GPU moves almost any game in Google Play very well.
-The sound is very powerful thanks to its stereo speakers. The clarity and sharpness of the sound is very clear specially listening to radio, incoming calls through the speaker ...)
-Supports NFC
-Keeps the Gyroscope and electronic compass of the S3
-Supports OTG
-The Dual microphone noise reduction (reduces noisy background sounds to improve the clarity of voice calls)
-LED -double flash
- It supports dual sim and memory expansion via microSD up to 64 Gb to add to the 16GB of internal ROM.
- Removable battery !
- Multi-colored led notification
- Internal FM-radio!
- Have maybe the better price / performance ratio of the market right now.
Minuses (-)
None highlight in particular. It is a phone that has everything, too much complete as a whole and great price to reproach something ...

Hi,
I owned the Jiayu S3 advanced and was very happy with it; I unfortunately lost it and therefore ordered and received this Jiayu S3+. All in all, they are very comparable; big problem however: this new phone (MT 6753 based) comes with Lollipop and...after intensive research on the net, I have failed to find a simple way to root it, whereas the S3 advanced (MT 6752, Kitkat) could be easily rooted through a simple switch in "Settings/Safety". I am therfore stuck with an unrooted phone, which is a major problem for me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I guess you can SPflash a S3+ TWRP from needrom and install e.g. SuperSU zip from TWRP. I have no S3+ to confirm.

Hi Dior DNA,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Being however nothing but an old geek, I am perfectly unable to understand save apply things like SPflash or TWRP; this, given my comptetence, would most probably end up with a bricked phone.
I was rather hoping to find a simple step by step solution to root he phone; I read however here and there that using "one click" programs such as Kingroot, Kingoroot, Framaroot, Iroot and other Towelroot not only failed to root Lollipop but was also likely to inject in the phone chinese bloatware if not viruses.
Why did they suppress the simple "Enable Super Su" button between Kitkat and Lollipop?

I agree that a lot of standard flashing practice may sound scary. However, it's just what it is. I personally find magic rooting solutions much more scary. One can find SPflash tool instructions on most needrom S3 or S3+ firmware pages. The instructions are highly device independent and specific to MTK. As for TWRP, once open, it kind of speaks for itself.
Most phones do not come pre-rooted, the S3 was a welcome exception.
Again, the global steps would be
- find TWRP image on needrom and flash it using SPflash tool (use Download and untick all but recovery)
- boot into TWRP (on my S3 I can do so by Vol+Pwr at same time, and then selecting recovery with Vol) and flash SuperSU ZIP
(which you will have to put ready on SD first)
* (re)boot may restore stock recovery. To prevent this one needs to get rid of recovery_from_boot.p
Good luck and courage
PS: it is hard to brick an S3(+) but one does need working SPflash tool and working firmware to restore to.

Thanks Dior DNA.
I shall try to apply your solution; before that however, I think that I will just in case wait until another Jiayu S3+ user has confirmed that he has successfully rooted the phone.
Thanks again
Regards
Phil

Hello I recently bought my first jiayu mobile phone.
Is the s3+ 3/16.
The specs are nice (I wish for a bigger battery) but I have problem with many applications especially from Banks and paypal.
I have the latest ota 17-12-2015 and when I go to google play I can not install the apps.
A message appear "your device is not compatible with this version".
I have made Hard reset but the problem is the same.
Another problem is I can not find the "easy root" option and the option to cryptographic the phone.
As I understand the "easy root" the bangood advertising is not in this version of s3.
Even more after installing many apps I tried to put it in folders but the folders looks empty.
If I push inside the folder in a white area a app starts .
the folders looks ok when is closed but when I open one looks empty, a big white empty area.
Can you please tell me what to do.
Thank you

What's in the box
Smartphone,silicone case , a screen protector, battery charger, USB cable, a pin for the SIM tray, and a Quick Start Guide in English.
Design and build
THL has definitely made a good looking smartphone with classic rectangular appearance and curved edges.
The body features a well crafted magnesium alloy frame and a hard plastic back.
When the device is off its front looks like being bezelless, but that's not the case. Indeed, the bezels are extremely thin, with the top edge of frame protruding slightly above the surface of the display in order to protect it.
Yes, this is a necessary design step for screen protection as with the THL T7, you don't get the 2.5D curved glass edges that seem to be on every Chinese smartphone lately.
In addition, the display has a top protective layer, which does not reach completely the frame.
The distance between the two is very little - fingernail-like, but it is there.
Otherwise, the device looks solidly built. Neither the back, nor the display flex under pressure. All parts fit perfectly to one another. The back cover is non-removable.
The smartphone is reasonably thin, with a waistline of 9.1 mm, and not heavy at all - 202 grams with the battery.
Because of its relatively large size it actually looks thinner than it is. The device is 150.5 mm high and 77.5 mm wide.
It is comfortable enough for one-handed operation, but people with smaller hands still might find it big to use with one hand.
The model is available in two colors: black and white with a silver back. We are reviewing the white variant.
Controls
The first thing you'd notice about the THL T7 controls layout is that the volume rocker and the power button are placed on the left hand side.
We do find this very convenient, but it's a matter of personal preference and subjective feeling, so we're just paying attention to this fact in case you prefer the classic layout with both on the right hand side.
In this model on the right is the hybrid dual-SIM card tray. It may be used with one or two micro-SIM cards or with a micro-SIM and a microSD card.
On the top side of the device is placed the 3.5 mm jack and at the bottom - the micro USB port and the mic.
On the front above the display there are the LED notification light, the earpiece, the light sensor, and the selfie camera. The LED notification light works only when the battery is charging and has a red color.
The home, back, and menu buttons of the navigation menu are on-screen.
Again, once you get used to it, this turns out to be quite a convenient feature. On the back of the device from top to bottom are the rear camera, LED flash, fingerprint sensor, the THL logo and the speaker grill with a single speaker inside.

I just broke the screen on my THL 5000 and saw this phone at the THL.com store. I actually considered this phone for a moment, but the specs are just too much of a step back from the 5K, and I need the dual SIM functionality, not just 2SIM or 1SIM/1SD setup.
I ordered a screen for the 5K.
And there is the big issue of Lollipop and the SD card not mounting apps.......
No lead on a ROM update to Marshmallow for the phone, which would be best, or a rollback to KK as an option.
I have filled the 64GB SD card on my my phone, mainly music, some video's, not many, 32GB for the T7 is just too small to cram all my stuff in.
MM does not have the SD card issue, it just optionally mounts differently than LP.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow ... "When a user inserts a microSD card into the right slot for the first time, the system will ask if they want to use it as a portable storage or internal storage.
Users who choose portable storage will be able to use their microSD card as expected. They can save photos, videos, music, files and some apps and app data on the card. If they would like to take it out of their phone and connect it to another device, such as their laptop, they will still be able to micro-manage their files.
However, choosing internal storage will bake the microSD card straight into the system. Android Marshmallow will reformat and encrypt the card, which means users will first have to back up their saved files before going this route. Once the card is reformatted, all previously saved files are erased and the card becomes the phone's internal storage option and nothing else.
Users who want to insert their card into a computer will not be able to do so because it has been merged into the phone's internal storage. Under the Storage & USB section, the microSD card will disappear, as it has now become the primary internal storage of the phone. Users will still be able to save apps and app data and view how much storage is left on the built-in storage, but not photos, videos, music and files. That means, if a phone has 8 GB of internal storage and the microSD card is 32 GB, users only have 32 GB of space for their files, not 40 GB.
Also, built-in eMMC storage is almost always faster than microSD cards, which means users who have at least 32 GB of internal storage may not want to trade in speed for more space, especially if they don't use up all the space on their phones anyway. Still, even with all the caveats, the option to turn an external card into internal storage is definitely beneficial for people who have low storage phones."

The only thing holding me back from purchasing this is the OS. It needs to be updated to Android Marshmallow 6.0+

SD card capability
Spec's list up to 32GB for the SD Card on the THL home site, have you tried a 64GB SD Card?
Please report back as to the phones ability to read a 64GB SD Card.
There is an update issued by THL: http://en.thl.com.cn/SupportDetails.aspx?id=485 What dos this do with the OS?
As I posted above, the Lollipop OS is holding me back from a purchase, if they update to Marshmallow, then I will pull the plug and do a purchase.
I have 107 apps installed over the OS apps, and most are on the SD card in my phone (Kitkat 4.4.2) and need the larger partition or the ability to write apps to the SD.
TY.

tell me how fix THL IMEI number

Let me give you some help bro, there is a rapid and special method to fix the IMEI number:
Run the App "Phone", on the dialing keypad,
type 【*#IMEI#6666#】 for writing the first IMEI,
type 【*#IMEI#7777#】 for writing the second IMEI.
For example, type *#123451234512345#6666# for writing "123451234512345" to be used as the first IMEI.
Note that the new IMEIs will take effect after rebooting the phone and it will be lost after doing “Factory data reset”.

R00T?
Anyone manage to R00T the THL T7?
TWRP recovery, someone try this as well?
Report back please....

Do you actually expect him to purchase the other phones to provide you with the comparison?

Its possible that the TWRP 3.0.2-0 might work, its pretty much universal for MTK. I guess I will find out when my phone arrives.

No, I'm not expect him to purchase the other phones to provide me for a comparison.
But, if you take a look more on his youtube video channel ,
You'll understand ,why I ask him like that.

He is not responding to posts and requests.
Probably bought it to do a review and returned the phone for a refund....?
