At the launch CoolPad compared the Great God F1 to the Xiaomi Mi3 and Huawei Honor 3X (also an octacore phone), and at less than half the price of the Xiaomi flagship phone the F1 is an amazing bargain!

But, and this is a big BUT, the F1 has only been announced as a TD-SCDMA + GSM model, meaning 3G won’t work outside of China! Hopefully a WCDMA model will launch soon.
