Ramos Mini Pad…

Hey Guys…I bought a phone from android-sales.com based on your recommendation and they have not come through with a replacement I returned on December 31, 2012. What am I to do???? It is now March 17…what am I to do???? Can you help????
Finally UMI X2 2GB RAM Version.. http://bbs.91umi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=34700&extra=page%3D1
Andi, not a tip but a suggestion–how about an article on what phones you can buy in China will work on USA TMobile or ATT 4G networks? Maybe too soon for LTE, but how about HSPA+?
i hope you can write this before Friday–when I leave for Shanghai!
Hey Andi, I have some great news about the Jiayu G4! Check the link below to see more, but translating the text gives some great information:
1. 4.1 will be changed into 4.2
2. Yamaha audio amplifier
3. 1800 mah standard version will get an 1850 mah battery instead
4. (Not sure about this one, I think they are saying that the front camera will be a 5MP (!) camera) with CMOS optical sensor
5. Dual sim 3G Connection
6. The white version gets a silver metal frame and the black version will get a black metal frame
Following this were a few minor announcements, but this is some great news I think!
http://www.mtksj.com/html/MTKshoujizixun/2908.html
I hope you share this Andi, it seems reliable and it has some great news in it!
PS, not shy about my name. Hehe
I’ve heard that on the Jiayu forum, new info has been released about the Jiayu G4
1. Android 4.1 OS update to Android 4.2.
2. Yamaha chip as “amp” sound.
3. “Thin” version of the G4 will be equipped with 1850 mAh battery, not 1800 mAh.
4. Improved camera lens F2.4 to 5P, an internationally renowned CMOS manufacturer. (captures more light?)
5. Slot to support China Unicom 3G card, the card dual standby 3G support
6. White version gets (white) silver metal frame and black a black metal frame …
7. Capacitive buttons are illuminated only with activation / contact.
8. Charger for battery upgraded to 1A (reduced load)
9. New style and packaging materials … and other improvements …
wow more 0.50 mAh for the battery that’s awesome -_-

UMI X2 (Prototype) Video Review..

Hey Andi, I saw some sources saying the jiayu G4 advanced will be released 15th of May…
In your story “20 Android apps download store alternatives!”, you talk about Opera as being a trusted place to download from. When I tried to install the Opera browser on my android phone, the app demanded the right to take pictures and video. This is not the mark of trustworthy software. This is the mark of totally untrustworthy spyware.
Hey Andi, can u confirme this information from Pandawill?
” I just got the news that the manufacturer delayed the release of Jiayu G4 to 15th.May.
Sorry to keep you waiting!
The reasons for the delay are:
1. Software issue: 13 mega pixels camera failed debugging. The manufacturer only debugged 8 mega pixels camera so far.
2. Hardware issue: 13 mega pixels camera is out of stock. “
Andi, The Video review is out for the UMI X2 Prototype, check it @ http://www.gogi.in/umi-x2-prototype-review.html#more-6149, 2GB RAM, 32GB Internal,
looks like the Xiaocai G6 has been released:

and:
http://www.cnbeta.com/articles/234069.htm
Mogu s2 appears on the manufacturers website.Initial promotional price is 299 yuan as against regular price of 399.Specs do not appear to live up to the hype.
I would die for a good repertoire of some interesting gorilla glass phone models between 100 and 250 usd. If i see an article on top 10 mtk6589 phones coming along, I think it lacks info on gorilla glass or not. Andy would you please help us with a gorilla glass only top 10 or 15 deals article? Would be greatly appreciated !!

Jiayu.es (Spain) review of G4 including GPS demo including a drive round Valencia
Thanks mate, they actually emailed me this this morning.
De Nada! I am driving to Spain next weekend ..Manchester – Alicante to our Spanish house for the summer. I will be about 60km from Valencia so I might pop into this shop and see the real thing before I order (from China! as its about 50$ cheaper but dont tell them that). Have decided that I want a thin black and white turbo premium one…as and when I can get one but may well change my mind and get the first one that comes along and then upgrade later (and sell the first on Ebay!)
Just sent you an email
Abbie scooped it on Gizchina on the 7th of May but now Endgadget has caught up 9 days later but includes some more photos…just for the ladies though I dont think I will be buying one

Could you make a review of VOWNEY V5 (www.v5zn.com)? It is interesting because it has the USB-OTG function and it is cheaper.

Hello,
Please make it possible to search a device in your comparing database by parameters.
Thanks
Hi
Could you also do a ‘Compare Tablets’ tool ..sure it would be useful..Ive just bought a Aoson M33 as reviewed by Abbie (thanks) …a compare tool would have really helped. Might update my Tablet next year so you have time.
Also on the comparison tables perhaps you could consider adding Review comments where performed..ie summary , pros cons, Benchmarks, battery life, etc…
Really $99?
