Last week we posted a spy photo of a ‘mystery’ Zopo phone which featured a 5-inch 1080 HD display, quad-core processor and 13 mega-pixel camera. It turns out that the phone is a new model to Zopo and will go on sale as the Zopo ZP960 (there is the possibility another name will be used for international markets).
The images here are only renders, but we can see that the shape and overall design match the photo we posted here. It also appears that the Zopo ZP960 is a very thin smartphone and looks a lot like the ultra-thin Oppo Finder 3! We can also see that Zopo are going for a narrow bezel design for their 5-inch 1080 phone, which will help the overall appearance, but more importantly the comfort of the phone.
A 2000mAh battery is further proof that Zopo are planning a super thin phone, however we worry just how good battery performance is going to be with a quad-core MT6589 processor on board, and 5-inch 1920 x 1080 display to keep going. Like all current Zopo phone the Zopo ZP960 will support dual-sim and will run Android Jelly Bean 4.1 or 4.2.
The Zopo ZP960 is going to have plenty of rivals when it arrives on sale, and with pricing estimated to be between 1799-1999 Yuan ($288-$321) it is also going to be one of the more expensive Chinese options! However, unlike many Chinese phones the Zopo ZP690 will be available worldwide through their online store, and at a similar price to the Chinese retail price.
What do you think of the Zopo ZP960? Does it’s design and pedigree warrant the higher price, or do you prefer to get your hands on the mighty UMi X2, iOcean X7 or similar? Lets us know in the comments section.

Simply awesome!! Can’t wait. When is coming out?
The details just landed on my desk, knowing Zopo though we won’t have to wait for long
Just add 2mm for another 1000mAh more battery!
Let’s see when, and at what price, the ZP960 shows up in the HK stores. Their previous models have shown up priced the same (or lower) in HK dollars than in RMB. This would make the device about the same price as the UMI X2 if it really does come out at HK$1999.
Oh wow… that’s one sexy looking device!
When are mobile phone manufacturers going to leave ALL branding off the phone. It’s not the late 80′s anymore.
I personally dislike how companies Samsung, Huawei, ZTE etc plaster their name over the phone or for that matter consumer electronics in general.
I know it’s a Zopo, I know it’s 13mp camera! It’s not like it’s an apple logo and I need it there to let everyone know I’m hip.
Is it just me?
Branding is important for any product for numerous reason but they should keep it moderate.
hii andi i think u have made a mistake you have written zopo 690 instead of 960
Yup, you are correct I did
Wich website its safe to get Chinese phone?
merimobiles. its a little bit more expensive but its safe
Any info on RAM/ROM available Andi?
Not just yet. Fingers crossed for 2GB RAM 32GB ROM though
Hey andy, can you recommend me a TAOBAO agent?
Sorry never used one
Ok men you know, 2000 MAh battery for a 5″ display screen… I wonder why they dont give Customers an additional option for 3000 MAh battery just like what Xiaomi does ?
Perhaps they will
This is what I read on Android-Sale:
- 1.2GHz MTK MT6589 Quad-core processor
- 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM
- 5 inch FHD screen, 1920*1080 pixel display, 440PPI
- 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera
- Android 4.1 OS
It also mentions a 2500mAh battery.
If these specs turn out to be true, this is definitly my next phone.
Those are damn fine specs !!
Maybe you can persuade ZOPO to confirm these specs?
yep, it looks like gn818t , which i hoped to buy, if it’s 2500mah , i will buy it for the provided price. but on the place of zopo , will be some sticker. because zopo sounds very similar to ‘a*s’ in my language ))))
Hey @andi is there any launch date…when should we expect it in market?
I haven’t seen mention of one just yet
Finally a slim China Phone without a protruding camera lens
I hope it will be 5 – 6 mm thick.
Mmmkay, I suppose they ship with Google Apps preinstalled. Since it’s a goodlooking mf as well, this could be my next..!
Lets just try and find out the release date now! Zopo provides decent quality phones. But if they delay the launch of this phone, most of us will go for umi or Iocean etc.
I’ve asked them about the release date on their Facebook page. No answer yet. Doubt if I will ever get an answer.
Some one else asked ZOPO on their Facebook page about a release date too. ZOPO’s answer: Probably May. It’s unclear though which year.:)
Hi @andi…Any news about launch now…I’m sorry for repeating the same question…but i am so excited about this phone and only you can reveal the real dates…please update us…i am sure everyone reading this post will fall in love with this phone…lolz..
pero pronto lanzaran con nvidia tegra3

Don’t believe this is true. 4Gb ROM on a high end phone isn’t enough.
I think there will be a white version, but I would like to see a grey version next to black and white.
Shiny, like an iPhone but grey.
Why pay at least $100 more for a phone that will perform worse than one with a 720P screen when the human eye can’t resolve more than 300 ppi?????
What about the IMEI? It´s legit? It won´t be blocked on some countries who check it?
Seriously, Chinese phone manufacturers should all produce a least one device over 5.5″ if they are serious about selling off-shore.
Everyone I have shown my new Huawei 6.1″
too are amazed by the quality, performance and so importantly, price.
Figures show for example that more women are buying the Note 2, over men, so size is not an issue.
Also there is so much marketing hype surrounding LTE or 4g, when 3g data plans are far cheaper. As I have said in previous posts, in Australia our primary 4g network has slowed to such a point where it is only marginally faster and you pay so much more for the service and the phone.
