If you are hoping to see a Snapdragon powered, 2K super phone under your tree this Christmas your luck is in as IUNI U3 prices have been slashed.
In China the IUNI U3 costs just 2000 Yuan, and boasts hardware which shames the OnePlus One and the Xiaomi Mi4, international prices have been understandably higher until recently.
The IUNI U3 has not had its price cut to cut $369.99 (around 2200 Yuan) by international reseller site Vifocal. The U3 is a 5.5-inch smartphone with 3GB RAM, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, OIS and large 3100mAh battery. The phone is quite unique as it is a dual SIM flagship offering LTE and 3G support.
Will get one then.
How you compare with Nubia Z7 max now as the prices are the same @Andi?
Still trying to get a Z7 so cannot compare it sorry
Hi andi, any luck installing Google play on iuni u3?
I’ve done it, it was a little tricky. You need to flash from CWM
Can you please guide or send an email to support@allmytech.pk please ?
is it working well when you download or update an app too? are all the google services (maps, google+) working well too?
Google now / Google Search app force closes. Play store and Google Play music seem to work OK. I haven’t used maps or Google + yet. If you flash a google apps package, you need to remove SetupWizard.apk from inside the zip file /system/priv-app/SetupWizard.apk as the setup wizard force closes and then restarts repeatedly.
Hi, Michael. Could you guide me on this. I keep failed flashing gapps into the system. It just won’t verified. Could you send the guide to suhung.liu@gmail.com. Thanks.
Hi, can you send me a guide to install gapps? akrukau@t-online.de
Thanks!
Hi Michael, Ive recently gotten a u3….Ive been searching for a way to install google services on the device but have had no luck….I will be very very grateful to you if you can send me a detailed way to install google services on the device…..Thanks in advance
I’m a Chinese,who is crazy about the new phone.now.I want to make a pen pal with you.I can help you buy the Chinese product and send it to you.please email me~~wangzboo@gmail.com
Cool, but is English Rom available ?
I believe there is, I remember Andi comparing it to other Chinese roms, its basic but works well, if it were slightly bigger I may have gone for this!
You mean bigger in screen size ?
Yes I do as this is way too small.
I’d love to see an updated review of the international version, especially if it now works for calls & the camera with a better app if it now has Google play?
hi andy will this phone work in Australia; the international version show the below bands for call and data – i
Band 2G: GSM 850/900/1900/2100MH
3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MH
4G:FDD-LTE 1800/2600MHz
it works in Australia, don’t worry.
a company like this should just release its source code then let the devs do their work, most of people would want one considering the specs
How about Google Playstore Andi; Rumour has it that it won’t work properly. You can install it but it doesn’t support “Google frame”, according to what a afterseller said after consulting Iuni on that matter.
Wow that’s a huge dealbreaker if true. What are they thinking?
Like most phones intended for China only there is no Google Apps, it is a government decision not a manufacturer decision. But there are 3rd party installers that make it very simply to get them.
Third party as in who? Do you maybe have a site you can reffer me to?
Yes please give me a link. I need to run Google Play Store on a recently purchased U3
Hello.
I’m not sure how to contact you Andi, so il try threw here.
Please stop supporting Vifocal.com, they sold me fake xiaomi pistons and refused to refund my money.
you can find my story here
vifocalscam.wordpress.com
I can prove it any way you want, with pictures of the pistons and receipt .
thanks.
Josef.
Hate to break it to you but I wouldn’t refund your money either unless you sent the product back to me. Especially if I disagreed with your assertions that the product was fake. Not saying I agree or disagree with you but how do you know they are fake exactly?
Hello.
I can show you pictures of the box and product I recieved compared to a real one.
I know for a fact 10000% its fake because you can google ‘fake xiaomi pistons’ and check quickly and easy to know if yours are fake.
Its not fair to require to ship them back because its a cheap product[they sell it for 7$[!] and shipping would cost me more]
So I kept them and il sell them as bundle together with used iphones that I sell. but it sucks that I recieved fake once and I would not recommend ANYBODY to buy from them.
I can provide any proof that youd like.
Thanks.
Josef.
Snap801 with 2K???
yes
I heard that Vifocal is the international seller for IUNI , is that true???
any update for Google services?
Hi Guys,
i have bought this phone from VIFOCAL, on the box it says TD-LTE, But I am able use the phone in Australia,Voice/data is working, I dont see the 4G working. The Seller have stated that this phone has TD-LTE and FDD-LTE in same phone,Can the experts here confirm that’s the case. I dont want to send this phone back because of my ignorance.
