The Base base and sides
The base of the phone has a micro USB plug which is used for data transfer and charging, there is also a small hole for the microphone and a space to the right which we can use to lever the back panel of the phone off.
To the right hand side of the Zopo ZP900 leader there are the power buttons along with volume rocker.
A 3.5mm headphone jack is located in the top,
And the left hand side is free from any clutter.
Overall the external appearance of the Zopo ZP900 Leader is understated, calssy, but above all very well made!
Inside the Zopo ZP900 Leader
Gizchina News of the week
Like many similar sized phones such as the Galaxy note, the rear of the ZP900 is made of a thin flexible plastic which allows the back to be pulled of quite easily.
In the case of the Zopo the plastic is forgiving enough to be removed and reattahed with little problem, but noth flexible enough to feel cheap, or feel as though it could snap.
Under the back of the phone we are greeted with the large 2300mAh battery which has seen the ZP900 run a full day of ‘regular’ use with still enough juice left to keep running the next morning!
As you can see the Zopo ZP900 Leader is a dual sim phone with spaces for both GSM and WCDMA sim cards.
There is also space for a micro SD card to extend memory. While Zopo claim the ZP900 can handle up to 64GB cards we only had a 32GB card on hand to try and, as you expect, it worked fine.
Good work. The video wasn’t great when zoomed in but it was in lower light. Shame about the lack of focus in video. Great to see the play store works. Is this phone rooted? If it is does it give you the access you’d expect?
Have a great weekend.
cn u put vanilla JB on it as there is no software which one really needs from zopos side?
The Lenovo K860 blows this away but you have to pay more for it.
Thank you for including the list of installed apps! It is good to see that Play Store, Google Maps and Google Talk are installed by default. The more I see this phone the more I want it!
Hi Andy,
Thank you for greate review. Could you please check if some other headphones work well with zp900. I mean if audio input jack is standart or not.
Thanks again!
@el Pablo yep no problem 🙂
Nice review review Andy. About the video test, good choice of different situations, travelling, pan, day and night, although the video is in 480p is quite good.
My question is what are the high settings for video recording, and is possible for you to upload the video in HD?
@Freeje mt6588 is going to challenge Lenovo K860’s exynos very soon

@Andi, any chance you could show us how to root this phone?
Cheers
@el Pablo Tried a few different headphones I had and there was no issue with the sound (if that’s what you are looking for) and yeah, the audio input jack is standard.

Great job reviewing this monster phone
i really like the design and the big screen
well done Zopo
If you do end up ordering it from zopomobileshop, there is a $9 option to get it rooted
@Amby nice option!

The rom files are not available for download, I’m getting the error message: ‘ The file link that you requested is not valid ‘
@Metanastis I have the rom and will upload it to dropbox later in the day.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your review! I’d like to ask only a few things..
Does the ZP900 play videos FLAWLESSLY? ‘Cause some time ago I had a Zenithink c71 tablet with an AllWinner A10 chipset and flash videos had lots of lag…
The second thing is: Does the battery meter show REALLY how much battery is left? Because on the same tablet I mentioned before, the system only measured voltage, so if I turned the screen brightness to maximum the battery meter would instantly fall down by 20 %… And I don’t think it’s normal….
Thank you again for your efforts on reviewing zopo products and I hope to get an answer from you!
Regards
Gabriel

Isn’t the Hero 9500+ the exact same phone without the Zopo branding? And also almost $100 cheaper! (If you go by the prices on the Zopomobile site)
yep
