iOcean’s G7 phablet has been given a final release date of 14th March along with some nice updates to the materials it is made from.
The iOcean G7 is the first phablet from the young Chinese phone maker and the largest device they have launched to date. The screen comes in at 6.44-inch but unlike the UMi Cross iOcean have given their phablet a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 panel for added protection. While we are on the subject of protection the glass lens for the main 13 mega-pixel has been updated to a toughened until which can also resist scratches very well.

Good info. I am seriously considering this now. Seems to be in stock now with some suppliers.
Only thing that concerns me is buying an initial run version. Any ideas if iOcean do OTA updates? It would seal the deal for me.
I could not find anyone selling updated version of this mobile anywhere!! Could you pls suggest where it can be bought from? Are there any more details about these updates??
