And the winners are!
We had a great response to the giveaway with over 270 comments from GizChina fans. There were a lot of nominations for the winners but 2 names kept coming up thanks to their great community spirit those winners are:
- MaxPower
- Balcobomber25
Congratulations guys! The contest is now closed!
As you may already know, we are building up to the launch of our new store this coming Monday (13th July) with daily phone giveaways. This weekend we have 2 great phones to win.
All week on our GizChina Shop Facebook page we have been asking fans to get involved with our new community for a chance to win a phone. Winners were chosen at random, but for this weekend we have decided to try something a little different.
GizChina regulars in the comments and forms will no doubt have noticed a few outspoken voices. Maybe they were giving advice, helping to answer a question or giving their own informative view of an article. Whatever their comment mightΒ be there are always a few voices we expect to see in each article.
This giveaway is a chance to award those fans and the prize is either a Bamboo Edition OPO or Meizu MX5!
Gizchina News of the week
What we would like readers to do this weekend is simply comment on this post as to which active GizChina reader you think should win one of these fantastic phones. If you have seen a reader in every post commenting in the past tell us who it was below!
Updated Rules To Make Things Clearer
- Active fans are those who are ALREADY active on the site, NOT new members spamming the comments hoping to win. We want to award the people who keep GizChina going.
- Nominate GizChina.com and GizChina Core group members.
- Comment below this article not on Facebook.
- You can vote for more than one reader.
- To vote simply post the username of the commenter below with a short reason why you think they should win.
- We will choose either the people with the most votes, or if there is no clear winner we will choose who we think deserves to win.
- Comments that do not nominate someone will be removed to keep it clear and easy to manage.
- Anyone mentioning begging / using friend groups, etc., willΒ be disqualified.
- Winners will be announced over on the GizChina Shop Facebook page on Monday.
There are already a few names which I imagine we are going to see nominated, I just hope that some of our loyal fans will win one of these killer Chinese phones. Good luck and have fun.
Meizu MX5
Not sure you read the rules.
Commenting is done at the shop’s fb page right?
No, you should nominate someone you want to win who is an active member of the GizChina.com community, not post what phone you want or why you want a phone. This giveaway is to reward loyal readers.
thanks.

Tushar Ganeriwal is loyal reader and most active member on page and Website as well.. π
All the very best bro (y)
Hope u win..
In which page or Website he’s the most active?
Not Gizchina.com for sure.
I’m silent reader Gizchina, and i dominated Muhammed Yaser to deserve to win this phones. He good about comment any gizchina thread, and i hope he will win.
Dominated or nominated? lol
LOL…sorry for typo….
What about other domains of gizchina? I just comment on the domain of my native language as i feel more comfortable with, it’s a pity they don’t run such giveaways π
I vote for balcobomber25 π
yep, same for me, you have my vote
it seems we are not lucky as we can’t speak english my friend, rules aren’t clear, can i nominate you?
Thanks guys, but i just try to help when i have some free time, nothing special actually π i just know a bit of chinese so i can translate something if i see it π
cool, you helped me once
my vote is for you too π @Luca
gizchina.it votes for you man ! Luca
I have seen your comments here before.
In Italy we are far behind in terms of technology so is important your work for import tech news by chinese to our country. Yo man! You are my votes
Mario Contri has run giveaways in the past.
I hope I can win the Meizu MX5 is new smartphone of Meizu, The display of the Meizu MX5 is only 1.3mm thin, the thinnest in the whole history of Meizu! I love it with big camera….
@Andi It’s a great idea to reward regular contributors, but I’m afraid you’re not very specific here. Are you referring to people who are active on the website, in the FB groups or both? Bear in mind that the same people use different usernames in Disqus and FB (I do, anyway). Where should the names of the candidates be posted? On this website (gizchina.com)? Or on one of the 2 FB groups?
Besides all of that, there also seem to be some Gizchina sites in for instance German and Italian. Are contributors from those sites also eligible?
Sorry this is only for GizChina.com, the other sites are not included.
Ok, that’s clear
Anyway, I like to nominate Gizchina’s own Statler & Waldorf: Messieurs MaxPower and Balcobomber25
merci beaucoup
I think it is pretty clear I was referring to GizChina.com site commenters, but I am happy to accept nominations from the Core Group too π
ok..thanks for clarification.
Yasemin Rao
Active member in my selection π
im sorry but im not familiar with anyone here on threads. but if anas and sahin is here i would like to vote for them. they helped me out a lot during these short few days. so i think they deserve it . All the best for everyone contesting . π
sorry .. but very Bad Rules !!!
I vote for tushar Ganeriwal
Thanks a lot bro π
i vote for @tusharganeriwal:disqus
I have been visiting GizChina for the past 5 months because I have been looking for a phone and the daily updates of the Mobile world allowed me to choose the phone I was looking for.
There is no doubt that when it comes to Chinese phones there is almost no sites which comes close to Gizchina’s accuracy and promptness. Keep up the good work.
Hey Gizchina , I loved coming to Gizchina for help on purchasing my next phones, now with a shop its going to be so much better, I’m not a very lucky person when it comes to mobile phones , they always end up giving up on me. π
If you do decide to choose me as a winner , I will upload an Unboxing Video and a Full in depth Review onto Youtube and my blog.
Thanks very much for all the good work !!
Calvin Greene from Ireland
I nominate Paap Mrittu from Gizchina Core.
He is an active member and contributes a lot to the group. Surely deserves to win. π
Thanks man though I won’t win.
Dont know if am to comment here or on the FB page. However i vote Muhammed Yasir and errr Balcobomber** guy. Reasons: very active, make reasonable comments and are usually unbiased.
I vote for myself.
Because 18months ago I had never heard of Disqus before and now I’ve got 257 upvotes on it because of GizChina.
Maybe there should be more but I guess I display rather controversial views of things sometimes that aren’t to everyone’s tastes, but hey, that’s why we comment right? To put across our own view on the subject…
π
Either way, I love visiting here every few hours a day to check up on the latest from China and I’ll continue to even when I don’t particularly need to buy a phone!
It’s all interesting stuff!
Yep, you have my vote π
Not really sure how to respond to this giveaway but I have some thoughts. You guys should be targeting potential buyers. You’ve been giving away stuff all week and people really love that. It makes you a ‘generous’ etailer. Active readers aren’t likely to be customers in the future in my opinion. If you really want conversions, maybe you guys could just giveaway discount coupons for these readers to use and shop in your store. A $200-$500 coupon would be nice. I have faith in Chinese etailers. I bought from Alibaba and Gearbest before. You should sell the entire system (the store, shipping, customer service, handling and all) and give them the full shopping experience when the GizChina shop is launched. If you have faith in your system, this will likely yield better results than just giving away stuff. Certainly this is not a winning comment but I hope this helps. As a consumer and shopper myself, I certainly love having more etailers out there. More competition, better for us buyers =)
Who are you voting for??
wasn’t really thinking of voting but since you asked, I’ll vote for @Phenom965:disqus
Is this where we are to vote? or on fb?
Did somebody asked you for advice?
Did I ask for your opinion? I said that to help this organization. I’m not here to win this giveaway like you
2 years ago i bought a ztev987 surfing the web led me to a good review site gizchina.com since then I do read gizchina every day…i have seen every unboxing video and reviews, leaks i’ve become a real addict…keep up the good work guys…
Who are you voting for?
I vot Andi Sykes i here from many people’s he is very good gay. And i always thinking about good people. I following him last 2.5 years. He may not be remaber me but due to his review i purchased UMI x2 which is still working good ( only battery issue)
LOL, thanks but you can’t vote for me :p
Ok then i vote shiva sharma he is my good internet Friend. If i can vote more than one than pls consider my vote for hardik ahir, pankaj vyaghra, paresh Nilavar, rakesh jain thanks
I think you meant guy and not gay, Unless you did mean gay which is cool. Might an innocent typo like Andi’s constant typos that I keep correcting,
Sorry for bad english but intention is most important
There is a problem. Our names on gizchina site usually differs from that of the gizchinacore. E.g Mf1gt3r = Chukumaru Ferrario Odogwu.
Write both but make it clear if the names are from here or the core group
Ok. Thanks
hope someone can vouch for me on this site, however my personal vote is for Oussama Tajjiou, that was a very graceful deed.
love everything about the MX5 and would be mostly happy, if i would win it. from flyme and full-metal jacket as they say to the very system of using physical home button and screen unlock without power button , i envy and drool over Meizu MX5.
My vote for Evgenij Nebotov.
My vote for Evgenij Nebotov.
The only name I can remember is airyl.
And fwiw I just lost 2 phones xshot and umi zero, so someone vote for me for an MX 5 ))
You can’t vote for me unfortunately, I’m a writer now, but thanks!
I vote for Peter Pain. π
I vote for Muhammad Yasir and Maxpower!
Hahaha. Good choice.
I said that a lot of times (just changed muy facebook name for the giveaway – Ricardo Alonso- ), but Yasir must win so he never complaint anymore about the high prices hahaha (Yasir u know I am kidding, I know taxes are worse than my country). So Good luck.
i think Paap Mrittu and anas ahmad.
and maybe MaxPower.
keep seeing their names in many articles
but i won’t mind becoming one of the winner π
Thanks man
you deserved it
Ever since i first bought my mlais m52 few months ago, i’ve been very into chinese gadgets. I’ve spent days & nights on gizchina. The names that i can recall from the back of my mind are balcobomber25 & Muhammad Yasir. But as i said, i have just been actively reading these few months, so i do not know if they have been active for years or new commenters :p or MaxPower, Michael Ogbonnayaβ¦
Probably there are others more deservingβ¦ but those with display pictures are easier to recallβ¦ β¦
At least one person remembered me here. Thanks Bro.
I do remember you too… although I forgot your name π My vote goes to you too
I want to win Meizu MX5 Because as i read your blogg there are many things which i can add into it to make it going you tube videos n review of people give more impact on it bcz ppl believe what they see n read from others experiences so in this way i can make it more growing n in future its can become more popular i will put its advantages n compare others with it which will definitely attract others n we can get more fan following n customers both

Awesome π ATB
Am a old loyal fan of http://www.GizChina.com ! Am a silent reader of your blog! Am read your blog about your new website (shop.gizchina.com) all the very best for you!!! Hope it launch soon! Now am so happy with this awesome giveaway news , Meizu MX5 and OPO is awsome smartphone in worldwide! Wish to win one of this dream smartphone!
This will help me to capture awsome images and videos ! I love these two phones. Because it looks awsome and premium price
The 3GB RAM will help me to multitasking
20.7 MP camera will help to capture mind-blowing image’s and 5 MP front cam make me a Selfie Freake !!
The 5.5 FULL HD display help me to watch HD videos and awsome gaming experience!
16GB internal memory help me to save big files and movies!!
3150mAh battery gives me long life performance !
I want Meizu MX5 because
technically, this is the phone with top specifications and extraordinary OS,
theoretically, its the best bargain when price to features are compared,
logically, I want to win this contest. π
This isn’t the contest. It is for people who visit this site regularly and participate. Telling why you want/deserve the phone is a waste of time that is on the FB page.
If you deserve, you will win.
FB page is worldwide!!! Everyone can see new post!!! Site is not like that!!! If you like to join here. .Then continue!!! I will participate!! And will keep my fb sharing π
It has nothing to do with Facebook, you comment here.
Am Allready posted my cmmt π if you like my cmmt. Then do one Vote for me π
Then go back to facebook.
Idiot!
i vote for myself @preeti_anand:disqus
Vote to preeti anand
Good for you.
I vote for these guys
balcobomber25

Marco Lancaster
Jeep – because he’s verified
also Muhammad Yasir – please add free shipping if he wins
I read everyday the Gizchina’s post but not here directly as I prefer reading via Drippler and World Tech News apps so I barely get to comment! SO I am not aware about the active reader commenters but I guess Tajjiou being generous last time in Gizchina Core group page,he certainly deserves one of the phone!
The one and only Muhammed Yasir, in fact give him both phones .
Anyone mentioning their own name / begging / using friend groups, etc., should be disqualified.
I’ll add those rules thanks π
Not sure it’s “politically correct” to disqualify self votes. After all it’s democratic to vote for yourself, and it should be allowed. I’m following Gizchina for years, and since then all my phones were Chinese, aquired based on Andi’s reviews (and not only). Although I don’t write too many comments, I think I deserve… Don’t worry, I’m not gonna vote for myself π Instead I’ll vote MaxPower, just because I like his avatar :p
thanks
With all due respect @Gizchina:disqus , these kinds of “contest” makes me cringe. Even with all its advantages, kick-starting the cores group on FB and engaging with the users from the site – It’s hard to see so many adults begging for free stuff. It only starts a avalanche of spammy comments, unuseful links and people screaming to be choosen. Only now, “long” after the giver away is over, and the dust have settled, I find the core group usefull and with users actually engaging with the community and each other.
I get why, and I also see the results. The many views are finally translating into people making them self heard. I just wish it would be more open discussions on the subject of Chinese tech and exchanging experiences. Rather than this.
Anyway, that’s just my humble opinion. And in the end, if it helps out the site, I’m all for it. I just wish there was a way to achieve same goals with the usual random pick among entries.
Keep up the good work. All the best – Kasper
Did you read the rules? This is designed to reward loyal fans, in no way will this help grow our FB etc.
I did, and I know. And you’r right. This may not be the place to state my opinion on the matter. But thats just what came to mind after reading the article/contest. I sincerely do not mean any disrespect, so please, don’t take it the wrong way.
I’m not upset I just don’t think you understand the rules and aim of the giveaway
This is a different animal than the FB giveaways. This has nothing to do with growing the site or attracting new audiences. Those are what the FB giveaways are for (and it is a smart marketing plan!). This contest is a reward for those of us who helped to grow this site into what it is today. There is a core group of us who have become a small happy and sometimes dysfunctional family of Chinese tech lovers. Andi and Yash are simply trying to reward the family.
I second that, every time there is a giveaway a load of new faces appear out of the wood work. As has already been said, Andi and Co all know who is and isn’t active here. Good luck to whoever wins π
I VOTE FOR @preeti_anand:disqus
I vote for MaxPower and balcobomber25 simply because they really deserve it π
I’m a passionated reader of your site…but I don’t always write comments. I’m just curious of chinese phones…because they are better and better then in the past…but never be so brave to buy one of them. This could be a good chance to persuade me to use them :). I’ll vote for my friend Michael Joshua Pabia @najirion ! Thanks for the contest GizChina.com and GizChina !
Paap Mrittu – you have my vote brother.
Everyone, to make it easy for Andi, please write short messages starting with the name of the nominee. No life stories, no heartbreaking childhood traumas. π
Thanks man.
@balcobomber25 and @muhammed yasir.
Best fans i’ve seen here.
Really – you don’t remember my sarcastic comments?
Dont know what to say to you.
Michael Ogbonnaya…for Meizu mx5……reason, hes been an active contributor and the only person that remembered MF1GT3R. Funny that i myself couldnt rake in a single vote, not even as Chukumaru Ferrario Odogwu at gizchinacore. But dont feel bad bro. Ive never expected much from these thaings.
It’s not really necessary for you to nominate me. You’ve already made your “HONEST” choices.
Your comment was a reminder i needed that reminder but earlier on. Its never to late man.
Its ok bro. Thanks.
Balcobomber should Win. Very active and Nice talking to.
I think nithin k jose will win!!
Vote for MYSELF as i am silent reader and i always share GIZCHINA posts and i never show off that i am too hard fan because i believe to do work at your best GOD will definitely GIFT you some day.
I vote for me! I always follow gizchina, gizchina core and I join every action! I hope to be lucky, thanks for the chance either..! π
This has nothing to do with luck, the prize will be given for contributions in this comunity.
@disqus_tyMHFvu6S7:disqus I’m new here on disqus but my vote goes to him, he helped a lot in the gizchina.it domain, even helped to improve and create many reviews! i hope the domain won’t be a problem, after all, you all are colleagues right? ^^
Probably not a way to win the contest, but I am voting for myself.
I visit GizChina few times a day, and I am extremely interested in what this website is publishing. Usually my posts are calculated criticism, and that’s why I got way more points than posts.
Keep up the good work guys, it is always nice to see the communication between readers and redactors.
I vote for Tushar Ganeriwal!! Best luck to you and for the others who have the chance to get one of this two top smartphones π Thanks Gizchina.com for your reviews and i’ll buy the mx5 from your store π
I vote for balcobomber25, it’s always interesting to read his comments.
These are highend phones i’m not used to them, no thanks.
I’m not sure who to nominate as I wasn’t active on the forums, I used to only comment on g+ and fb post and on gizchina.com articles. May the worthy person win.
@disqus_tyMHFvu6S7:disqus for the help on our domain, he’s on gizchina core too so i think he’s eligible π
Luca, keep up the good work
Vote for @balcobomber25:disqus..pretty consistent visitor on this page as far as i can remember.Its tough to recollect all his opinions but most of them have been elaborate,logical and vote for @Arun Subramanian ( myself) who has practically visited gizchina everyday and have seen transitions in chinese phones industry from Jiayu G3 to the latest flagship MX5.
I vote for Muhammad Yasir . He has been a loyal reader for a long time
I vote for balcobomber25.
I vote for balcobomber25, he is the best commenter here. Can we vote for the ones who piss people off as well and you can send them a boobie prize of some sort π
Yeah, like the doogee iron bone or the landvo s6. That would be a punishment.
Exactly make them suffer π
Ill send them my Doogee Turbo 2014 possible the worst phone I have ever owned or used.
I vote for myself as I dont know anyone and dont read almost pointless comments so I cant know anyone nor does anyone knows me as I commented maybe two times on this website. Im daily visitor on this website for over a year and on these terms I dont even qualify. Spamming comments happens here, on fb pages and everywhere.
I vote for @balcobomber25:disqus because his comments are always interesting and without him I don’t think Gizhina would be the same!
I am voting for Blessed Amoateng, he is active on Gizchina Core and Gizchina Shop!
@disqus_5lBkYLQRRP:disqus, here is my vote for you!
I vote for Vinay BeatMaker
Thanks dear π
My vote goes to Tushar Ganeriwal
I vote for Luca, thank you for the big help !
Since long I have been trying hard in online contests. I have never won something big. I am using Nokia E5 phone since 3 years which I got from my elder sister and now everything has become outdated in this phone. I never asked my parents for new phone because I am from a middle class family and they can’t afford to buy me a phone.
I am technology lover and I like surfing for technical thing over the internet. Honestly, I love chinese brands because they are always excellent value for money.
I saw gizchina.com about a year ago and I have bookmarked it in my phone. I check regularly for updates, news and reviews. I hope that I win something from here. It can really change my life.
Whoever be the winner, I want to take this opportunity to thank Andy Sykes, gizchina.com and Disqus for always keeping me updated π
So, what should we do? Make a charity for you? Your storry would be more appealing if you’d say that you live in a orphanage and work in a coalmine twenty hours a day. Then you would definitely get my vote.
Muhammad Yasir, I summon thee! You have my nomination for being an active member of the community.
Andi, I’m totally satisfied that you somehow change the *rules* of these giveaways… Last weeks were nothing but Facebook’s spam and i’ m glad it’s over for ever. I won’t ask or beg anything… Just say i had pleasant exchanges with Max Power, Balcomber, Michael and others… I’m following some, being followed by others…
Meizu MX5
Not sure you read the rules.
Commenting is done at the shop’s fb page right?
No, you should nominate someone you want to win who is an active member of the GizChina.com community, not post what phone you want or why you want a phone. This giveaway is to reward loyal readers.
thanks.
Yes, sir I don’t know the rule. I missed the giveaway…
This comment was deleted.
Thanks a lot!
Tushar Ganeriwal is loyal reader and most active member on page and Website as well.. π
All the very best bro (y)
Hope u win..
In which page or Website he’s the most active?
Not
for sure.
I’m silent reader Gizchina, and i dominated Muhammed Yaser to deserve to win this phones. He good about comment any gizchina thread, and i hope he will win.
Dominated or nominated? lol
LOL…sorry for typo….
My vote goes to Muhammad Yasir and Maxpower and balcobomber25 – it’s impossible to select only one of them π
They’re always here.
What about other domains of gizchina? I just comment on the domain of my native language as i feel more comfortable with, it’s a pity they don’t run such giveaways π
I vote for balcobomber25 π
yep, same for me, you have my vote
it seems we are not lucky as we can’t speak english my friend, rules aren’t clear, can i nominate you?
Thanks guys, but i just try to help when i have some free time, nothing special actually π i just know a bit of chinese so i can translate something if i see it π
cool, you helped me once
gizchina.it votes for you man ! Luca
my vote is for you too π @Luca
I have seen your comments here before.
In Italy we are far behind in terms of technology so is important your work for import tech news by chinese to our country. Yo man! You are my votes
Mario Contri has run giveaways in the past.
I vote from @balcobomber25 for his Interesting and pertinent comments. Also he, is the guy who can give a pretty good advice regarding shops, prices, phones. Thanks to @Andi Sykes ‘ reviews and to the comments from gizchina.com, I gave up my Elephone 7000 and bought the LeTv One. Great quality! Unfortunately it came with a custom ROM (bloatware, multilanguages etc.) from gearbest but I succeeded to install the custom ROM.
Hii
I tried very hard in gizchina.com giveaways but always failed
I want the phone for myself . I’m a techno geek . I like to help people like suggesting them to buy good phone , posting links where they can get good offers,etc.
I’m huge fan of Chinese companies like xiaomi , huawei , one plus , meizu , zte , etc.
Who will not desire to have a phone like meixu mx5 or one plus one ?
With premium specs look and feel
huge fan of @gizchina.com waiting for launch of their official website . ??
Can you read?
@Andi It’s a great idea to reward regular contributors, but I’m afraid you’re not very specific here. Are you referring to people who are active on the website, in the FB groups or both? Bear in mind that the same people use different usernames in Disqus and FB (I do, anyway). Where should the names of the candidates be posted? On this website
? Or on one of the 2 FB groups?
Besides all of that, there also seem to be some Gizchina sites in for instance German and Italian. Are contributors from those sites also eligible?
Anyway, I like to nominate Gizchina’s own Statler & Waldorf: Messieurs MaxPower and Balcobomber25
I think it is pretty clear I was referring to GizChina.com site commenters, but I am happy to accept nominations from the Core Group too π
Sorry this is only for GizChina.com, the other sites are not included.
ok..thanks for clarification.
Ok, that’s clear
merci beaucoup
I vote for the lil guy Vinay BeatMaker. Honest and intelligent. His comments were filled with knowledge.
Thank you so much
i agree
So inteligent he shoud be awarded with the Nobel Prize. Don’t you think?

im sorry but im not familiar with anyone here on threads. but if anas and sahin is here i would like to vote for them. they helped me out a lot during these short few days. so i think they deserve it . All the best for everyone contesting . π
I vote for tushar Ganeriwal
Thanks a lot bro π
I vote for myself π
I came across this great website last hear when I typed best Chinese android phone on Google and since then I have been following their newsletters. This site is great because of many reasons. First they let you know if a device can meet your requirements through thier A-Z reviews. Secondly they let you know about upcoming flagship, many of us remember Oneplus one. Thirdly, you will know about upcoming flash sales and kick starter. Thanks to them I got my Jide remix through GizChina Facebook post . Lastly, GizChina will be the best online store for buyer’s expecially from Europe. Therefore if your friends or relatives are interested in great device from China tell them to likes GizChina on Facebook. Goodluck.
I have been visiting GizChina for the past 5 months because I have been looking for a phone and the daily updates of the Mobile world allowed me to choose the phone I was looking for.
There is no doubt that when it comes to Chinese phones there is almost no sites which comes close to Gizchina’s accuracy and promptness. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the help to italian community vote for luca
I vote for Me.
Let the fake accounts war begin
We know who is here on a weekly basis and who isn’t, will be pretty easy to weed out the fake accounts from those of us who are active here.
Look at the amount of people who are from .it .de and other GizChina websites. How will you identify if they are from these websites ? Ignoring them will result in whining that GizChina is not fair for all readers.
Andi already said that it’s only for Gizchina.com. Let the admins of those domains organize giveaways.
i already know they do it, at least for the Italian site, so there’s no reason to do it here.
Andi and Yash know those of us that are from this domain and those that aren’t.
and you, MaxPower and Muhammad Yasir being the most active i believe… XD
then there’s this guy with the Kevin Spacey avatar… was it Jeep?
either way, i vote for “BALCOBOMBER25” as he has helped me twice already. π
No problem I enjoy helping people to navigate through this world of ours. I remember how scared and confused I was when I took the plunge to ordering phones from China. My first three I got ripped off on before I finally started to learn what brands were good and bad lol.
We do, and despite what a few people are saying (about bogus profiles) it’ll certainly only be from the community our regular readers.
Of course this isn’t to say that new readers aren’t valued, but rather a way to tell you folks that we do appreciate your long time contribution to the community.
I nominate Paap Mrittu from Gizchina Core.
He is an active member and contributes a lot to the group. Surely deserves to win. π
Thanks man though I won’t win.
Dont know if am to comment here or on the FB page. However i vote Muhammed Yasir and errr Balcobomber** guy. Reasons: very active, make reasonable comments and are usually unbiased.
I vote for myself.
Because 18months ago I had never heard of Disqus before and now I’ve got 257 upvotes on it because of GizChina.
Maybe there should be more but I guess I display rather controversial views of things sometimes that aren’t to everyone’s tastes, but hey, that’s why we comment right? To put across our own view on the subject…
π
Either way, I love visiting here every few hours a day to check up on the latest from China and I’ll continue to even when I don’t particularly need to buy a phone!
It’s all interesting stuff!
Yep, you have my vote π
This comment was deleted.
Who are you voting for??
wasn’t really thinking of voting but since you asked, I’ll vote for @Phenom965:disqus
Is this where we are to vote? or on fb?
Did somebody asked you for advice?
Did I ask for your opinion? I said that to help this organization. I’m not here to win this giveaway like you
2 years ago i bought a ztev987 surfing the web led me to a good review site
since then I do read gizchina every day…i have seen every unboxing video and reviews, leaks i’ve become a real addict…keep up the good work guys…
Who are you voting for?
I vot Andi Sykes i here from many people’s he is very good gay. And i always thinking about good people. I following him last 2.5 years. He may not be remaber me but due to his review i purchased UMI x2 which is still working good ( only battery issue)
LOL, thanks but you can’t vote for me :p
Ok then i vote shiva sharma he is my good internet Friend. If i can vote more than one than pls consider my vote for hardik ahir, pankaj vyaghra, paresh Nilavar, rakesh jain thanks
I think you meant guy and not gay, Unless you did mean gay which is cool. Might an innocent typo like Andi’s constant typos that I keep correcting,
Sorry for bad english but intention is most important
There is a problem. Our names on gizchina site usually differs from that of the gizchinacore. E.g Mf1gt3r = Chukumaru Ferrario Odogwu.
Write both but make it clear if the names are from here or the core group
Ok. Thanks
i would pick several names:
all commenters enrich this community (even those ones i personally don’t get along).
but if i have to pick two names then would be
Balcobomber25 and Muhammad_Yasir.
Balco for helping other people with his experience having owned several of those Chinese brands.
Yasir for impersonate the prototype of a Chinese phone customer,always looking for the best deal.
id vote for easier so he could get a phone finally and at such a cheap deal( $0)
hope someone can vouch for me on this site, however my personal vote is for Oussama Tajjiou, that was a very graceful deed.
love everything about the MX5 and would be mostly happy, if i would win it. from flyme and full-metal jacket as they say to the very system of using physical home button and screen unlock without power button , i envy and drool over Meizu MX5.
My vote for Evgenij Nebotov.
My vote for Evgenij Nebotov.
The only name I can remember is airyl.
And fwiw I just lost 2 phones xshot and umi zero, so someone vote for me for an MX 5 ))
You can’t vote for me unfortunately, I’m a writer now, but thanks!
I vote for Peter Pain. π
My vote is for Balconbomber25.
I vote for Muhammad Yasir and Maxpower!
Hahaha. Good choice.
I said that a lot of times (just changed muy facebook name for the giveaway – Ricardo Alonso- ), but Yasir must win so he never complaint anymore about the high prices hahaha (Yasir u know I am kidding, I know taxes are worse than my country). So Good luck.
I vote Balconbomber25
i think Paap Mrittu and anas ahmad.
and maybe MaxPower.
keep seeing their names in many articles
but i won’t mind becoming one of the winner π
Thanks man
you deserved it
Ever since i first bought my mlais m52 few months ago, i’ve been very into chinese gadgets. I’ve spent days & nights on gizchina. The names that i can recall from the back of my mind are balcobomber25 & Muhammad Yasir. But as i said, i have just been actively reading these few months, so i do not know if they have been active for years or new commenters :p or MaxPower, Michael Ogbonnayaβ¦
Probably there are others more deservingβ¦ but those with display pictures are easier to recallβ¦ β¦
At least one person remembered me here. Thanks Bro.
I do remember you too… although I forgot your name π My vote goes to you too
i vote for myself….. i’m a gizchina reader for 1 and half years
Balconbomber25 that’s the first name that comes to my head!
This comment was deleted.
Awesome π ATB
Am a old loyal fan of http://www.GizChina.com ! Am a silent reader of your blog! Am read your blog about your new website (shop.gizchina.com) all the very best for you!!! Hope it launch soon! Now am so happy with this awesome giveaway news , Meizu MX5 and OPO is awsome smartphone in worldwide! Wish to win one of this dream smartphone!
This will help me to capture awsome images and videos ! I love these two phones. Because it looks awsome and premium price
The 3GB RAM will help me to multitasking
20.7 MP camera will help to capture mind-blowing image’s and 5 MP front cam make me a Selfie Freake !!
The 5.5 FULL HD display help me to watch HD videos and awsome gaming experience!
16GB internal memory help me to save big files and movies!!
3150mAh battery gives me long life performance !
I want Meizu MX5 because
technically, this is the phone with top specifications and extraordinary OS,
theoretically, its the best bargain when price to features are compared,
logically, I want to win this contest. π
This isn’t the contest. It is for people who visit this site regularly and participate. Telling why you want/deserve the phone is a waste of time that is on the FB page.
FB page is worldwide!!! Everyone can see new post!!! Site is not like that!!! If you like to join here. .Then continue!!! I will participate!! And will keep my fb sharing π
It has nothing to do with Facebook, you comment here.
Idiot!
Then go back to facebook.
i vote for myself @preeti_anand:disqus
Vote to preeti anand
Good for you.
I vote for these guys
balcobomber25

Marco Lancaster
Jeep – because he’s verified
also Muhammad Yasir – please add free shipping if he wins
I read everyday the Gizchina’s post but not here directly as I prefer reading via Drippler and World Tech News apps so I barely get to comment! SO I am not aware about the active reader commenters but I guess Tajjiou being generous last time in Gizchina Core group page,he certainly deserves one of the phone!
The one and only Muhammed Yasir, in fact give him both phones .
Anyone mentioning their own name / begging / using friend groups, etc., should be disqualified.
I’ll add those rules thanks π
Not sure it’s “politically correct” to disqualify self votes. After all it’s democratic to vote for yourself, and it should be allowed. I’m following Gizchina for years, and since then all my phones were Chinese, aquired based on Andi’s reviews (and not only). Although I don’t write too many comments, I think I deserve… Don’t worry, I’m not gonna vote for myself π Instead I’ll vote MaxPower, just because I like his avatar :p
thanks
Way to go gizzy reviews Worthy making us concerned
With all due respect @Gizchina:disqus , these kinds of “contest” makes me cringe. Even with all its advantages, kick-starting the cores group on FB and engaging with the users from the site – It’s hard to see so many adults begging for free stuff. It only starts a avalanche of spammy comments, unuseful links and people screaming to be choosen. Only now, “long” after the giver away is over, and the dust have settled, I find the core group usefull and with users actually engaging with the community and each other.
I get why, and I also see the results. The many views are finally translating into people making them self heard. I just wish it would be more open discussions on the subject of Chinese tech and exchanging experiences. Rather than this.
Anyway, that’s just my humble opinion. And in the end, if it helps out the site, I’m all for it. I just wish there was a way to achieve same goals with the usual random pick among entries.
Keep up the good work. All the best – Kasper
Did you read the rules? This is designed to reward loyal fans, in no way will this help grow our FB etc.
I did, and I know. And you’r right. This may not be the place to state my opinion on the matter. But thats just what came to mind after reading the article/contest. I sincerely do not mean any disrespect, so please, don’t take it the wrong way.
I’m not upset I just don’t think you understand the rules and aim of the giveaway
This is a different animal than the FB giveaways. This has nothing to do with growing the site or attracting new audiences. Those are what the FB giveaways are for (and it is a smart marketing plan!). This contest is a reward for those of us who helped to grow this site into what it is today. There is a core group of us who have become a small happy and sometimes dysfunctional family of Chinese tech lovers. Andi and Yash are simply trying to reward the family.
I second that, every time there is a giveaway a load of new faces appear out of the wood work. As has already been said, Andi and Co all know who is and isn’t active here. Good luck to whoever wins π
I VOTE FOR @preeti_anand:disqus
I vote for MaxPower and balcobomber25 simply because they really deserve it π
I’m a passionated reader of your site…but I don’t always write comments. I’m just curious of chinese phones…because they are better and better then in the past…but never be so brave to buy one of them. This could be a good chance to persuade me to use them :). I’ll vote for my friend Michael Joshua Pabia @najirion ! Thanks for the contest GizChina.com and GizChina !
Paap Mrittu – you have my vote brother.
Everyone, to make it easy for Andi, please write short messages starting with the name of the nominee. No life stories, no heartbreaking childhood traumas. π
Thanks man.
My vote goes pa5t1s
Thanks, you’re welcome π
@balcobomber25 and @muhammed yasir.
Best fans i’ve seen here.
Really – you don’t remember my sarcastic comments?
Dont know what to say to you.
Michael Ogbonnaya…for Meizu mx5……reason, hes been an active contributor and the only person that remembered MF1GT3R. Funny that i myself couldnt rake in a single vote, not even as Chukumaru Ferrario Odogwu at gizchinacore. But dont feel bad bro. Ive never expected much from these thaings.
It’s not really necessary for you to nominate me. You’ve already made your “HONEST” choices.
Your comment was a reminder i needed that reminder but earlier on. Its never to late man.
Its ok bro. Thanks.
I think nithin k jose will win!!
Vote for MYSELF as i am silent reader and i always share GIZCHINA posts and i never show off that i am too hard fan because i believe to do work at your best GOD will definitely GIFT you some day.
I vote for me! I always follow gizchina, gizchina core and I join every action! I hope to be lucky, thanks for the chance either..! π
This has nothing to do with luck, the prize will be given for contributions in this comunity.
@disqus_tyMHFvu6S7:disqus I’m new here on disqus but my vote goes to him, he helped a lot in the gizchina.it domain, even helped to improve and create many reviews! i hope the domain won’t be a problem, after all, you all are colleagues right? ^^
I vote for Tushar Ganeriwal!! Best luck to you and for the others who have the chance to get one of this two top smartphones π Thanks
for your reviews and i’ll buy the mx5 from your store π
I vote for balcobomber25, it’s always interesting to read his comments.
These are highend phones i’m not used to them, no thanks.
Few peoples are very active here and gizchina core group. But if you want one name I will vote for Al saqib majumder from the core group (very active and sporting) and balcobombr25(very active and sometimes rude).
Also I don’t know if balcobomber is active in core group by other name.
I’m not sure who to nominate as I wasn’t active on the forums, I used to only comment on g+ and fb post and on
articles. May the worthy person win.
@disqus_tyMHFvu6S7:disqus for the help on our domain, he’s on gizchina core too so i think he’s eligible π
I vote for @vigorsolair π
No, vote for my mother in-law.
#Faress Elfarissi , Gizchina lover
So what?
unfortunately no free time for me but i give my best follwing
Luca, keep up the good work
Vote for @balcobomber25:disqus..pretty consistent visitor on this page as far as i can remember.Its tough to recollect all his opinions but most of them have been elaborate,logical and vote for @Arun Subramanian ( myself) who has practically visited gizchina everyday and have seen transitions in chinese phones industry from Jiayu G3 to the latest flagship MX5.
I vote for Muhammad Yasir . He has been a loyal reader for a long time
I nominate Arafat Hussain Mollik as ever since I joined the GizChina core Facebook group, he has been active in every post and of great help. I think he deserves the prize for his commitment to the group π
I vote for balcobomber25.
I vote for balcobomber25, he is the best commenter here. Can we vote for the ones who piss people off as well and you can send them a boobie prize of some sort π
Yeah, like the doogee iron bone or the landvo s6. That would be a punishment.
Exactly make them suffer π
Ill send them my Doogee Turbo 2014 possible the worst phone I have ever owned or used.
I vote for myself as I dont know anyone and dont read almost pointless comments so I cant know anyone nor does anyone knows me as I commented maybe two times on this website. Im daily visitor on this website for over a year and on these terms I dont even qualify. Spamming comments happens here, on fb pages and everywhere.
I vote for @balcobomber25:disqus because his comments are always interesting and without him I don’t think Gizhina would be the same!
I am voting for Blessed Amoateng, he is active on Gizchina Core and Gizchina Shop!
@disqus_5lBkYLQRRP:disqus, here is my vote for you!
Wow! You’ve raked up a tremendous amount of votes here Balcobomber25. Congrats in advance.
Good luck guys!
I vote for balcobomber25
got help a lot with his comments
best reviewer here btw
I vote for Vinay BeatMaker
Thanks dear π
M. A regular follower of gizchina….
love this tech site…..
Love is a beautiful thing.
My vote goes to Tushar Ganeriwal
I vote for Luca, thank you for the big help !
Since long I have been trying hard in online contests. I have never won something big. I am using Nokia E5 phone since 3 years which I got from my elder sister and now everything has become outdated in this phone. I never asked my parents for new phone because I am from a middle class family and they can’t afford to buy me a phone.
I am technology lover and I like surfing for technical thing over the internet. Honestly, I love chinese brands because they are always excellent value for money.
I saw
about a year ago and I have bookmarked it in my phone. I check regularly for updates, news and reviews. I hope that I win something from here. It can really change my life.
Whoever be the winner, I want to take this opportunity to thank Andy Sykes, gizchina.com and Disqus for always keeping me updated π
So, what should we do? Make a charity for you? Your storry would be more appealing if you’d say that you live in a orphanage and work in a coalmine twenty hours a day. Then you would definitely get my vote.
Muhammad Yasir, I summon thee! You have my nomination for being an active member of the community.
Andi, I’m totally satisfied that you somehow change the *rules* of these giveaways… Last weeks were nothing but Facebook’s spam and i’ m glad it’s over for ever. I won’t ask or beg anything… Just say i had pleasant exchanges with Max Power, Balcomber, Michael and others… I’m following some, being followed by others…
Vote for @api182:disqus @disqus_0lJZ8Bi7SK:disqus @balcobomber25:disqus
I vote for @api182:disqus, @disqus_0lJZ8Bi7SK:disqus, @balcobomber25:disqus
Disqus seems working akward, so my vote in plain text:
Adam Irvine, MaxPower, balcobomber25
My vote goes to Muhammad Yasir and Maxpower and balcobomber25 – it’s impossible to select only one of them π
They’re always here.
I vote from @balcobomber25 for his Interesting and pertinent comments. Also he, is the guy who can give a pretty good advice regarding shops, prices, phones. Thanks to @Andi Sykes ‘ reviews and to the comments from
I gave up my Elephone 7000 and bought the LeTv One. Great quality! Unfortunately it came with a custom ROM (bloatware, multilanguages etc.) from gearbest but I succeeded to install the custom ROM.
Hii
I tried very hard in
giveaways but always failed
I want the phone for myself . I’m a techno geek . I like to help people like suggesting them to buy good phone , posting links where they can get good offers,etc.
I’m huge fan of Chinese companies like xiaomi , huawei , one plus , meizu , zte , etc.
Who will not desire to have a phone like meixu mx5 or one plus one π
With premium specs look and feel
huge fan of @gizchina.com waiting for launch of their official website . ππ±
Can you read?
I’m Slartiblart on gizchina disqus, Ressay Kassana on facebook. Pretty sure I’ve been active from the very beginning I think on the forums, first mtkforums, then gizchina forums, and FB pages, I will continue to do so! My review of the Lenovo K3 note is coming up today on gizchina forums! Keep a look out. I nominate Muhammad Yasir, he deserves a phone.
I’m just verifying myself. I go by so many names everywhere! Facebook is my only real identity and seems like I’m the only one with a real photo as well..
Mine is a real photo of my favorite beer….
Aha – you bugger, Who are you on facebook? I;m Ressay BTW.
Mine is a real photo from ten years ago.
I vote for the lil guy Vinay BeatMaker. Honest and intelligent. His comments were filled with knowledge.
Thank you so much
i agree
So inteligent he shoud be awarded with the Nobel Prize. Don’t you think?
I vote for myself π
I came across this great website last hear when I typed best Chinese android phone on Google and since then I have been following their newsletters. This site is great because of many reasons. First they let you know if a device can meet your requirements through thier A-Z reviews. Secondly they let you know about upcoming flagship, many of us remember Oneplus one. Thirdly, you will know about upcoming flash sales and kick starter. Thanks to them I got my Jide remix through GizChina Facebook post . Lastly, GizChina will be the best online store for buyer’s expecially from Europe. Therefore if your friends or relatives are interested in great device from China tell them to likes GizChina on Facebook. Goodluck.
Thanks for the help to italian community vote for luca
I vote for Me.
Let the fake accounts war begin
We know who is here on a weekly basis and who isn’t, will be pretty easy to weed out the fake accounts from those of us who are active here.
Look at the amount of people who are from .it .de and other GizChina websites. How will you identify if they are from these websites ? Ignoring them will result in whining that GizChina is not fair for all readers.
Andi already said that it’s only for
Let the admins of those domains organize giveaways.
i already know they do it, at least for the Italian site, so there’s no reason to do it here.
Andi and Yash know those of us that are from this domain and those that aren’t.
and you, MaxPower and Muhammad Yasir being the most active i believe… XD
then there’s this guy with the Kevin Spacey avatar… was it Jeep?
either way, i vote for “BALCOBOMBER25” as he has helped me twice already. π
No problem I enjoy helping people to navigate through this world of ours. I remember how scared and confused I was when I took the plunge to ordering phones from China. My first three I got ripped off on before I finally started to learn what brands were good and bad lol.
We do, and despite what a few people are saying (about bogus profiles) it’ll certainly only be from the community our regular readers.
Of course this isn’t to say that new readers aren’t valued, but rather a way to tell you folks that we do appreciate your long time contribution to the community.
Christopher Straber is highly dedicated to reviews. I like the way he explains things.
I think his name is Muhammad Yasir.. I have seen him for like almost for last 7-6 months… hope he gets it… I don’t know others name.. there are some more PPL… I just can’t remember…
i would pick several names:
all commenters enrich this community (even those ones i personally don’t get along).
but if i have to pick two names then would be
Balcobomber25 and Muhammad_Yasir.
Balco for helping other people with his experience having owned several of those Chinese brands.
Yasir for impersonate the prototype of a Chinese phone customer,always looking for the best deal.
id vote for easier so he could get a phone finally and at such a cheap deal( $0)
My vote is for Balconbomber25.
I vote Balconbomber25
i vote for myself….. i’m a gizchina reader for 1 and half years
Balconbomber25 that’s the first name that comes to my head!
Way to go gizzy reviews Worthy making us concerned
According to the rules my vote is for balcobomber25.
Altough I am not a frequent commenter – since repeating the same information/opinion as a parrot or arguing with the writer of an article without first hand experience with the item annoys me – I am here for a long time. I think the first article I read here on GizChina was about Meizu M9. I do enjoy GC and it was a pleasant experience watching it grow and evolve.
However mostly because of the above reason I just skip comments after the first “writesomethingthataddsnothingtothepreviousconversation”. For example: how many comments should be removed if the “No 16Gb Ram, no 128Gb Rom, no 50mega-pixel camera, no 10k mAh battery, no 4D, there is bezel, for less than $101 reseller price… Its a no from me either” type of comments would be forbidden? I could go on there are other tipical pointless comments around, just think about it. Sorry, I did not mean to hurt somebodys feelings. I just like to point out that more the comments does not mean more the contribution π
I vote for Paap Mrittu! Anas Amat! and Muhammad Yasir
I vote for myself. I already have the bamboo OPO, so i’ll be glad to get the MX5. π
You won’t get anything here.
I will vote for Paap Mrittu for being active on the group (GizChina Core) π
PS: I won’t vote for my self (I want to win the OPO if other members think I deserve it)
My vote goes pa5t1s
Thanks, you’re welcome π
Muhammad yasir have my vote.
i vote for balcobomber. used your picture be a bearded explorer looking guy!? then i vote for you balcobomber. hope you get a shiney new phone for free. EDIT: i think i must be getting mixed up with maxpowers avatar. However i still vote for balco. the guys knows alot about chinese android companys and is very informative for people that post asking advice on certain models.
I vote for @beatmakervj i am new to your website team. But was going through your posts on FB today and I think that vinay deserves to win your contest . π
My vote goes to Muhammed Yasir.
Soon i will be poor like him (cause i’ m Greek and i guess you all know about our economic problems) and poors must help each other…
My vote for Balcobomber25.
Reguler visit gizvhina. In past few month always seen (Balcobomber25 n Maxpower) cmmnt. Either of them is ok
Few peoples are very active here and gizchina core group. But if you want one name I will vote for Al saqib majumder from the core group (very active and sporting) and balcobombr25(very active and sometimes rude).

So what?
unfortunately no free time for me but i give my best follwing
I am using Nokia N95, I desperately need a good smartphone π
I vote zijin_cheng, the guy makes nice reviews for the devices he has.
I nominate Arafat Hussain Mollik as ever since I joined the GizChina core Facebook group, he has been active in every post and of great help. I think he deserves the prize for his commitment to the group π
giving phones to people who already own good smartphones makes no sense xd
Than I nominate my mother in-law. She doesn’t have a cellphone at all.
I nominate my poodle! I tried to teach her to use a Xiaomi Redmi 1s but she insisted on just licking my face and wagging her tail.
I think your poodle didn’t like the big bezels on the Redmi, MX5 should be OK.
Let the strong competitor win
There are a lot of guys newly who has done some help for gizchina so it’s hard to compare
Even small suggestions or helps done by me
Or any minor group doesn’t count
I vote for Arafat Hussain Mollik
Wow! You’ve raked up a tremendous amount of votes here Balcobomber25. Congrats in advance.

My first choice is balcobomber25, I know he didn’t want to participate, but he’s the most active and helping member of our community, and also a Patriots fan like me.
Second is MaxPower, because every time he wants a new phone he has to tell his wife that the old one fell into the lake.
There are also a few people who deserve nominations:
Rob
Yeti hand
monkeytree
Tremaine Underwood
pdayahoo
Marius Cirsta

Second is MaxPower, because every time he wants a new phone he has to tell his wife that the old one fell into the lake.
There are also a few people who deserve nominations:
Rob
Yeti hand
monkeytree
Tremaine Underwood
pdayahoo
Marius Cirsta
Wow!!! I had internet problems yesterday and have not been able to come online all through.
Seems no one in here even remembers that I am existing in GizChina. That’s sad to know π
But oh well, we are here to cast our votes and I am voting for myself π
Michael Ogbonnaya…….Since the rules say i can vote for more than one….i nominate u…..
Its in situations like this that you know if anyone ever feels the impact of your input into this community and I really have to say that I am sad now. No even one nomination despite everything I’ve put in here and some out of here too all for the overall betterment of GizChina.
This certainly hurts like crazy.
At least, I know where my comments and contributions will go after this. And honestly, I don’t really care if I am disqualified or not.
I feel for you man.
π
Yeah, lot of people are nominated and I’ve never seen them before, don’t worry they will leave in a few days but we will stay. I’ve seen your name mentioned a few times.
What’s the point in staying back when you aren’t valued?
I think Andi and other gizchina writers are valuing us, that’s why this giveaway exists, but unfortunately it was ruined by guests from facebook. Now you can see why am I against facebook.
Michael, why let such things get to you man? Who remembered me? Let it die so we can move on.
If it was a 6 inch phone you and Rob would have had my votes! In fact anytime I see a phone above 5.5 inches I think of you two first.
@balco, I always talk about 5.5 – 6 inches. And I believe both devices falls within that size. Nevertheless, I don’t have to convince anyone to nominate me.
People should be able to know who have positively affected then technologically and whom they have learnt a thing or two from in this kinda community. Whatever happens, like I said earlier, I know where my comments and contributions will go from now henceforth.
It’s pointless to waste my time on helping people who don’t deserve it and who don’t value my time and efforts.
I really don’t care much now, but it’s just really painful the way a lot of people that are being nominated here are ghost members and real members who has been positively contributing to the growth of GizChina are left out.
I joined GizChina when this community was nothing and no where. You can’t even find it on Google back then. When it was only Andi that was posting and very few people bothered to comment on posts.
It was my love for Chinese tech that kept me coming back here all the time. But hey, people have chosen who they want and who cares…
Your love for Chinese tech should keep you here, don’t let a random contest get in the way of that. You are a valued member of the community here and I’m sure many people have nothing but good things to say about you.
Yes, very few comments were there. That doesn’t mean there were no fans then as loyal as you. I have started to comment here Just a few months ago. But I am coming every day here since I don’t remember now. Many many peoples are out there like me. They are just silent reader. Don’t be frustrated with this kind of competition.
Yea I am the same as you, I have been coming here for years now but I only became active the last few years. Before that I was in the US Navy and had very little time for anything outside of work/family.
I have voted you and I sincerely believe you are the more deserving one. What’s your id in core group?
I dont do Facebook but thanks for voting for me!
if i win then i use this mobile for myself because my umi x2 screen is broken..
i vote and i want to win because i want to sell Gizchina shop products in india. Lot of indian people want best mobile but all are not able to buy from online or not able to buy from out of india, so i want to sell these products in indian currency and buy very easily from my shop…
You are such a smart guy.
thanks
Begging for a smartphone is an excellent way of starting a business. You have a bright future ahead of you.
you not understand what i want to say..but i think this website not for me..bye dear..i delete my comments..now you enjoy..
‘Mohammed yassir’ he is always /most of the time active in most posts and he lives in pakistan where even cheap phones are expensive . so I definitely want this phone for him
balcobomber25 has my vote. Has always given constructive answers to my questions. Thumbs up from me.

Michael Obonnaya, Muhammed Yasir and Balcobomber25 all nomimated.
There is no need for you to nominate me based on a biased decision. I’ve read through every post in here and I know the people you chose. You could’ve nominated me the first time if you wanted.
But thanks anyways.
Wrong view. If you didnt see a single message from me here, you will not remember that you have one bro by the corner who is also an active member of this group. They should get this thing over with, i guess the usual way of was better than this individual nomination.

It feels a bit like no matter what you do don’t press the RED BUTTON syndrome. And guess what normally follows after that???

damn, this thread is simply the best (worst?) I’ve ever read : people who have nothing to say can’t stop arguing, and true, old-timer members have to justify their ‘reputation’. loooool. please, stop this bs! it’s as ridiculous as FB threads and comments. I do want to *dislike*
Don’t worry. Tomorow everything will be back to normal.
Yeah, thanks God, it’s Monday π
This maybe the first time in history somebody was happy that the weekend was over!
poor Andi, he really didn’t have to do anything besides the giveaway to promote his new shop.
still, he decided to award (?) 2 frequent commenters and look how people responded to it.
he probably regretted doing it and i wouldn’t blame him.
Not surprised thou, just look at people at the mall fighting for a free pretzel sample, i knew this one was going to turn nasty.
disappointed about few people acting like toddlers.
Yep, you talk wisely… as usual π
sometimes. π
sometimes i also drag myself into silly diatribes while i should simply avoid them.
we all have our weakness.
He is probably drunk
Throw in some song & dance, add a happy end and imagine it to be a hilarious Bollywood comedy π
Yeah, I really feel bad for Andi. The idea of this giveaway was a really nice gesture from him. I appreciate it and I know that most people wouldn’t think about their loyal readers like he does.
Anyway it seems that the award is going to be in good hands after all.
kudos to him.
he came out not with just one, but 2 phones: both flagships!
I wish him good luck with the store and I’ll recommend it to my family and friends. Of course, I’m gonna buy myself there as well.
Ad Maiora Andi
Your always going to get that with contests like this,it brings out the best and worst in people. Especially when two really good phones are involved. If this had been an Elephone and Ulefone the impact might have been less and that’s about what I expected when he said there would be a giveaway for us. I was floored when I saw the two he chose.
But hopefully once this dies down things will go back to normal and a 2 members of this family will have really good new phones.
you should be disqualified for ” deflating” your comments π
Haha. That’s just my weightloss nickname! No you cant look at my phone!!!
lol.
btw, what happened to Yasir?
i haven’t seen him commenting here at all.
turns out he’s not the great deal hunter i thought he was since he’s missing the biggest deal he could get.
edit: wtf? did i win?
You did and I did. I am not gonna lie I really didn’t think I would win I was kinda surprised when I saw how many people voted for me.
I’m shocked, i didn’t see that coming.
i was sure about yourself thou.
You have owned probably any brand, low, mid and high range and always give advices.
You’ve never gotten into those silly arguments about SoC either.
different story about myself, I’m not gonna hide you that i feel awkward claiming this prize.
and i wouldn’t probably do it if my wife didn’t need one so badly.
she’s dragging her broken S3 till the end of August when her contact with Sprint will expire
Funny story I actually sold all my Android phones because I was going to do the 30 days with Ubuntu test. The BQ Aqarius broke after a week and I was left with nothing. Right now i have been using an old travel phone of mine an Alcatel One Touch Fierce! And I am considering picking up a Windows Phone to try out. But this couldn’t come at a better time for me.
Funny enough while I have owned many brands I have never used either one of these brands before so I am excited about either one.
We need some drama and comedy around here everyonce in awhile. Otherwise it’s just a group of mostly middle aged men arguing about Chinese toys….
I vote for Andy Chan , best of luck Andy , hope you win !!!
CALVIN from IRELAND!!!
I vote for Mohammad Yasir and Balcobomber25
I think you have to play me one of these great phones that usually have much luck with Giz China have if accompanied me luck.
Bye Bye and Good Look. π
I would like to nominate Shaun as I’ve seen him being regularly active on the GizChina Core fb group.

may I please add to the nominations with everyone who assisted on my thread https://www.gizchina.com/forums/topic/your-recommendation-on-an-honest-reputable-phone-company-and-distributor/ please take everyones names from there. I have no idea if all are regular members of your discussion groups but if they are then congratulations on having a really great bunch of people. All suggestions and comments were polite and I was blown over by the really nice ways people dealt with me. So often on these forums you get arrogance and condescension. I was made to feel welcome and not at all inferior. Something that is often lacking. So please consider all who assited me on that thread
We are trying to build the forum here as a helpful place where people can go for help without judgement or elitism that you usually find on forums (any of those type of posts will be dealt with). The world of Chinese phones can be very intimidating and scary at first given the vast selection of brands and resellers. Many of us have been through the pitfalls of buying online, from getting ripped off to getting scammed. I implore any beginners to come here first and either ask some questions or read some comments. There are plenty of people who would love to help out a beginner. I can’t say this enough though, ALWAYS use Paypal! They are the best at conflict resolution and you will never get ripped off with them having your back.
well sir you lead beautifully by example, thank you and everyone else who was good enough to answer me.
I would like to nominate Shaun as I’ve seen him being regularly active on the GizChina Core fb group.
to promote new members, it might be better for new people joining if one prize was for the nominated person and also one for the member who voted? perhaps a smaller prize for person who voted with valid reason.
They have had enough contests to promote new members that is not with this one is for. It is to reward the members that helped grow this site into what it is today.
Yes it was a nice gesture to show appreciation for loyal members. It would be a shame to see it go to people who join just for a competition week just join to spam up with any links an no other original just to show as most active that week. I did vote for you days ago btw…deserved winner, enjoy the new device.
Thanks for voting!
I vote for Muhammad yasir, because he really needs a phone, hopefully he gets one now….. I’ve been a avid reader for the last almost 2 years and in that time I’ve read almost all of his comments, im curious what would happen when he finally gets a phone….. Will he like the camera or not? π
probably not and it would still be too expensive! XD
congrats to the winners. they highly deserve it

I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. I honestly never though I would receive this many votes. I look forward to more engaging conversation with each and everyone of you and I am always in the forums for anyone who needs help.
congrats dude! you got my vote and deserved it. would be interesting who gets which phone! π
I believe I am getting the MX5.
hey, I’m thinking of buying an MX5. Can you tell me the pros and cons of it? And can you put an sd card in it? I heard you can’t, but i think you could possibly use one of the SIM trays as a sd tray. Thx
I will be doing a full review once I get it so stay tuned for that. Probably won’t be for 2-3 weeks though as I am currently traveling. As for SD card there is no support for one. The community may be able to come up with a hack to use the second sim slot but as of right now there is no way to do it. A lot of phones these days are dropping support for SD cards, even Samsung with their S6. The best way to get around it I have found is OTG/USB. You can get some incredibly small thumb drives these days and I have found comparable sizes are a lot cheaper than SD cards.
USB OTG is definitively a better solution.
Yea a lot of people don’t realize just how much better it is and just how easy it is. It requires you to carry an extra cable, but my OTG cable is tiny and fits in wallet without issue.
I bought myself this kind of gadget on Ali: small, handy, perfect π have a look, you won’t regret it π
I actually had one of those I got at a trade show awhile back, Xiaomi was giving orange ones out. I loved it for how easy and convenient it was, but I had never seen them on the resellers sites, I’ll check it out.
thx and congrats on your winnings. I just got a business deal here in Canada from Telus since my dad is a business owner, so i can get incredible deals. $250 S6 64GB no contract. Or S6 128GB for just $320. If I wait for the Note 5, then I can get the base model for just $300 no contract. Lol sorry guys, I don’t need a chinese phone anymore, although ill stay active on Gizchina because I fell in love with chinese phones, started off as a broke teen who wanted good specs, thinking chinese phones would be crap until he saw ’em. Now he is getting Samsung though. Wonder how much an MX5 Pro would cost for me. $150? Lol
I wouldn;t pay $50 for an S6 but enjoy it lol.
lol why not? Why does everyone even hate the S6 in the first place?
I dont like Samsung phones because I hate their software, Touchwhiz. Most of their phones are excellent, for instance the Note 3/4 are two of of my favorite phones ever (minus Touchwhiz). But the S6 to me is a disaster for a number of reasons:
1. It has a beautiful display but it paired that with such a small battery, battery life is terrible on it.
2. The camera has the potential to be amazing. If you have plenty of light photos look spectacular. Even the slightest shadow though can be a disaster. The LG G4 is much better at this.
3. It looks very good and has good build quality but it has horrible ventilation meaning it heats up a lot more than it should.
4. My wife has had so many problems with the fingerprint scanner she doesn’t even use it. Many times we would wake up and the phone would default back to no password (slide to unlock), other times her fingerprint wouldn’t read correctly. And she is not alone on this there are complaints all over forums about these problems.
Congrats to MaxPower and Balcobomber25! They do really deserve to be rewarded for their daily contributions, talks and shouts, humors… They really are what a community member should be: someone who gives before asking or begging, someone present and yet discret. And most of all, someone adding value to the community with its brain and guts, with its *own* point of view, not something googled around…
This week was terrible: first the Facebook’s flood and spam, then this awesome thread, full of arrogance, stupidity and selfishness.
I’m pretty sure that things will go back to normal, and that we’ll enjoy reading reviews by Andi, Yash or Christopher. Amen.
Congratulations to two great guys!
Pardon the intrusion but who gets what?
I believe i am getting the MX5 and Max the OPO.
the phone is going to go straight to my wife so it doesn’t matter which one she’s going to get. both are better than her Samsung S3.
so it’s up to you which one you prefer.
Umm, tonight the night will be … hot π Hopefully, both phones are great , whichever, so Balco won’t cheat with your wife π
Andi asked me which one I preferred, It was actually a tough decision because I’ve always wanted a Meizu but the OPO is one of the best all around phones available (despite their marketing flaws). In the end I love Flyme so I chose MX5. But the OPO is a great deal I believe it is the 64GB version.
cool, works for me.
i would have picked the meizu as well but since the phone is for her i think OPO would suit better since CM looks more like stock Android and plus she’ll have working 4G.
I love the look of the OPO, that bamboo looks sexy.
i showed her a picture and she loved it,plus she’s into couponing so that couldn’t make her happier.
Happy wife happy life right?

Exactly my candidates came out on top, congrats gentlemen. Do I win something now? ?
congrats to the winners. they highly deserve it
shocked. i want to thank whoever voted for me.
what’s wrong with you guys?!? LoL
sometimes s**t happens… π
i couldn’t explain it better!
I voted for you after four glasses of scotch and an Alec Bradley cigar (my second love after Chinese phones). I probably wasnt in the right frame of mind…
that sounds sexy π
I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. I honestly never though I would receive this many votes. I look forward to more engaging conversation with each and everyone of you and I am always in the forums for anyone who needs help.

Yea a lot of people don’t realize just how much better it is and just how easy it is. It requires you to carry an extra cable, but my OTG cable is tiny and fits in wallet without issue.
I bought myself this kind of gadget on Ali: small, handy, perfect π have a look, you won’t regret it π
I actually had one of those I got at a trade show awhile back, Xiaomi was giving orange ones out. I loved it for how easy and convenient it was, but I had never seen them on the resellers sites, I’ll check it out.
thx and congrats on your winnings. I just got a business deal here in Canada from Telus since my dad is a business owner, so i can get incredible deals. $250 S6 64GB no contract. Or S6 128GB for just $320. If I wait for the Note 5, then I can get the base model for just $300 no contract. Lol sorry guys, I don’t need a chinese phone anymore, although ill stay active on Gizchina because I fell in love with chinese phones, started off as a broke teen who wanted good specs, thinking chinese phones would be crap until he saw ’em. Now he is getting Samsung though. Wonder how much an MX5 Pro would cost for me. $150? Lol
I wouldn;t pay $50 for an S6 but enjoy it lol.
lol why not? Why does everyone even hate the S6 in the first place?
I dont like Samsung phones because I hate their software, Touchwhiz. Most of their phones are excellent, for instance the Note 3/4 are two of of my favorite phones ever (minus Touchwhiz). But the S6 to me is a disaster for a number of reasons:
1. It has a beautiful display but it paired that with such a small battery, battery life is terrible on it.
2. The camera has the potential to be amazing. If you have plenty of light photos look spectacular. Even the slightest shadow though can be a disaster. The LG G4 is much better at this.
3. It looks very good and has good build quality but it has horrible ventilation meaning it heats up a lot more than it should.
4. My wife has had so many problems with the fingerprint scanner she doesn’t even use it. Many times we would wake up and the phone would default back to no password (slide to unlock), other times her fingerprint wouldn’t read correctly. And she is not alone on this there are complaints all over forums about these problems.
I vote for Muhammad Yasir – that””poor”cant afford a premium Chinese Cell phone. He also love this site and sometimes entertain us.
congrats gentlemen π
Congrats to MaxPower and Balcobomber25! They do really deserve to be rewarded for their daily contributions, talks and shouts, humors… They really are what a community member should be: someone who gives before asking or begging, someone present and yet discret. And most of all, someone adding value to the community with its brain and guts, with its *own* point of view, not something googled around…
This week was terrible: first the Facebook’s flood and spam, then this awesome thread, full of arrogance, stupidity and selfishness.
I’m pretty sure that things will go back to normal, and that we’ll enjoy reading reviews by Andi, Yash or Christopher. Amen.
Congratulations to two great guys!
Pardon the intrusion but who gets what?
I believe i am getting the MX5 and Max the OPO.
the phone is going to go straight to my wife so it doesn’t matter which one she’s going to get. both are better than her Samsung S3.
so it’s up to you which one you prefer.
Umm, tonight the night will be … hot π Hopefully, both phones are great , whichever, so Balco won’t cheat with your wife π
Andi asked me which one I preferred, It was actually a tough decision because I’ve always wanted a Meizu but the OPO is one of the best all around phones available (despite their marketing flaws). In the end I love Flyme so I chose MX5. But the OPO is a great deal I believe it is the 64GB version.
cool, works for me.
i would have picked the meizu as well but since the phone is for her i think OPO would suit better since CM looks more like stock Android and plus she’ll have working 4G.
I love the look of the OPO, that bamboo looks sexy.
i showed her a picture and she loved it,plus she’s into couponing so that couldn’t make her happier.
Happy wife happy life right?
Exactly my candidates came out on top, congrats gentlemen. Do I win something now? π
