    “$259.99, roughly $100 more than similar quad-core phones.” please, give me a link where i can buy “similar quad core phone” for 160$ right now?

      All price announcements are for retail prices in China, after accounting for shipping & handling, it’s still $100 more than others like Jiayu G4 (1 GB version), Sheng X7…etc.

      Exactly, no-one is selling a quad for under $200. Most are prices at $250 at the moment.

      After shipping you can buy from the official Zopo store for the same price as the G4 from a third party.

    again ”Dual SIM card dual standby” isn’t supposed to be dual active?? I’m getting confused really

    I see it being 720p as an advantage, the GPU isn’t particulary powerfull and at 1080p it’ll surely struggle to move any demanding game.

    BUT, 2GB of RAM would have been great, and that ROM… 4GB?

    Yeah, ZOPO has grat quality and service, but the average buyer doesn’t have to know that. You can do better, ZOPO!

    Being first is normally to have big prices. After much more smartphones on the market they can go down to a reasonable price like $180.
    But as already Fred said, ”Dual SIM card dual STANDBY” isn’t supposed to be dual ACTIVE.

    This is a very important feature, users are expecting it, Mediatek implemented it, but all stupid manufacturers are writing the same thing STANDBY.
    This STANDBY is a copy-paste thing?
    This STANDBY is a term for something they don’t understand what really is?
    They know the difference between STANDBY and ACTIVE?
    WHY to remove an ACTIVE great option from a chipset which helps selling the product and make it just STANDBY as many buyers hate?

    Hey GizChina, we need a well documented article only about STANDBY vs, ACTIVE for the MT6589 smartphones?
    OK?

    PS: sorry for caps but I want to be sure people will understand the differences.
