      Considering it’s using the MTK6592 processor, it should either be getting KitKat VERY soon or will get have it out of the box.

        here,it’s written MTK6582!!!
        If it was 6592,that would have been great
        otherwise for now the best with battery is “innos d10f” if only mtk6582 is on board

    At last someone thinking about the battery! Now Im packing my phone and sell it fast! The 5000 is the best phone with 2gbram ! LTE will come to the next update for sure so I can wait!
    strange here is that this should be 5.5 inch or more so there will be space for the big battery! 5 inch is great and the look is normal like jiayu phones I like it!
    Well done THL!

    That dimensions with such a large battery seems impossible.

    I would almost think that this is the dimension of the battery itself lol.

      Probably non user replaceable which make it possible since Vivo could make a 5.75mm thin phone with 2000mAh battery.

        The Gionee Elife S5.5 is even thinner and has a larger battery.

    Owing this phone for some time now I can assure you that by listening to mp3s for 45 minutes a day, talking on the phone around 1 hour from 100% to 0%, occasionaly internet for 2 hours in the same period and having call recorder eating 30% of the battery, it lasted for 22 days. I had never charged it in between, never connected it via usb, never turned it off and never switched it on airplane mode. I can only assume it would last around 10 days more in this operation scheme if I had uninstalled th Call recorder which was totaly useless for my needs.
