    When and where can this wonderful phablet be delivered, and at what extra cost to HCMC (Vietnam)?
    The only disadvantages seem to be no HDMI connection and no media file .flv format.

      Quite sure flv can be added through software. HDMI Is somewhat a downer though… (not quite a deal breaker)

    so which processor is better ?

      I think they made a mistake and processor for both is MT6589, since there i can’t seem to find any mtk official reference to a mt8389 processor.

      • May 17, 2013

        No its correct. Lenovo are using the MT8389 in some of their tablets too.

          Well then what are the specs for this SoC? What IP Cores is it using? What GPU (also IP cores) is using? What other components are built in on that SoC? And where is specs sheet from mtk?

    ROM 4gb, god damn why can’t they put atleast 8 gbs as rom? And for the ones who say “there is an sd so you can have more memory” It is not the same, it is always better to have more built in memory.

    • May 20, 2013

      in fact: Plus version is 8GB rom
