Gizchina’s Top 10 Chinese phones for $200 Ultimate Buyers Guide


zopo zp500 libero full specification and where to buy4. Zopo ZP500+ Libero

The Zopo ZP500+ is updated dual-core brother of the ZP500 meaning you get better performance. It’s priced at $210 but for that you get a stylish and slim phone and for this it gets in to my top 10 chinese phones.

Gizchina News of the week


 

Why the Zopo ZP500+ Libero?

The Zopo ZP500+ boasts a dual-core MT6577 CPU running at 1GHZ with 512MB RAM, and as I’ve seen from my personal tests (review on the way) even with this little RAM the little Zopo has surprising performance!

The design is really great it looks a lot like the Xiaomi M2 and Meizu MX phones which means a slim and stylish phone which is very comfortable in your hand.

A 4 inch screen, rear 5 mega-pixel camera and Android ICS make up the rest of the spec.

 

Anything Bad?

Like the ZP100 the ZP500+ is more expensive than other phones of a similar specification.

 

Bottom line

One of the most stylish and lightweight phones in this price range and available for sale now with now pre-ordering.

 

Where can I buy the Zopo ZP500+ libero?

You can buy the Zopo ZP500+ Libero from the Zopomobile show here.

    Great analysis, Andy. I only have one major qualm with china androids: low resolution sharpness. Is there any way of doing a top 10 for resolution sharpness vis-a-vis the htc and apples of this world?
    § btw, light-years is a measure of distance not time. Common mistake 🙂

    I’ve always said (despite the copycat style of Chinese manufacturers) that they really are GREAT at designing and released reasonably priced products that are as good as, and in some cases better – then the branded versions of similar products from the big manufacturers. On 3 year contracts it’s hard to find a phone here in Canada that is under $200.00 All of these you can buy and own outright!

    It’s a shame none of the phones that you listed are widely available outside China, and probably difficult to get inside as well.
    Pointless…

    lol…all these phones except the zopo are on backorder or presale….

    hey look, it’s a top-10 buyer’s guide for phones that can’t be bought… love how it was unnecessarily split into 10 pages as well.

    Hey Andi,

    What about the Amoi 820? It looks an exceptional phone as well.

    What do you think?

    Is it possible to get “Flyme OS” on other android phones other than the Meizu MX?

    The reason I’m asking this Is, because I found an almost 1:1 Meizu MX dual core clone running Android 4.0. I’m thinking about purchasing it, as long as I can get Flyme OS on it.

    Are any of these phones for sale right now without the problem of waiting weeks-months to receive it?

    Andi, towards the Christmas season you should create an article on good affordable phones/tablets thats available now without the long waits.

    Just a suggestion of mines, but I think that would be a good article.

    Nice article, you should write an article about websites for foreign people to buy phones from. Taxes, Customs, other useful info. I guess it might be tricky writing about a site though and then it’s a fake / dodgy site. But still, would be good just to list all the above phones then say 10 sites and price on each site hyperlinked with a disclaimer – do your own research on if this company will stuff you over.

    I wish Zopo would release a Zopo ZP100 Pilot+. It was always my favourite Zopo phone.

      Andi why you wrote about Newman N1 “don’t pay more than $160, as it isn’t the best quality phone in the world!”? Now it cost about 180-190$, could you describe its quality? What is better deal in simmilar size phones? What do you think about Umi x1 quality?
