    External Micro SD cards are pretty cheap these days. Its better than buying a 16GB iphone for $700.
    I am sure they can put a movie in there if you fancy.

  How is 3G working with Optus ?

  • 

    azhar7772 on 16/09/2013 - 14:48

    Optus works on 2100 frequency for 3G. Will work well.
    Wont work with Vodafone I guess as they work on some other frequency. Please do check.

    3G

    There are several 3G networks operating in Australia. 3G frequencies are usually specified as UMTS/HSDPA or WCDMA frequencies on the mobile phone specifications.

    Australian 3G bands:
    •850MHz (Telstra, Vodafone) – Exclusive 3G band
    •900MHz (Optus, Vodafone) – available in most metro areas on Optus, with both Optus and Vodafone re-farming the 2G 900 spectrum in regional and rural areas
    •2100MHz (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone) – Exclusive 3G band

  CPU: MTK6589 Qual core 1.2GHz

  How quick does this CPU perform?

      performs about 75% quicker than the S2 for most benchmarks and real life tests. S2 is using a very old dual core with crappy power saving features - hence why everyone complains about the battery after upgrading to ICS and JB.

  Does anyone know the SIM configuration? Many dual SIM phones are 1x micro + 1x mini and often only one of these is 3G capable.

  • 

    azhar7772 on 16/09/2013 - 17:35

    should say on gsmarena.

    • 

      CyberGenesys on 16/09/2013 - 17:37

      GSMArena only specifies that both SIMs can do 2G, nothing about which SIM/s do 3G.

      • 

        scrimshaw on 16/09/2013 - 17:59

        It's usually only 1 sim that does 3G. Very rarely do you get dual sim with 3g on both sims.

        This phone takes 2 regular SIM cards, with SIM slot 1 3g @ 2100mhz. Which is a bit strange, because Lenovo phones usually do dual band 900/2100mhz. I think there could be a mistake in the vendor's spec sheet, because GSM arena mentions 900mhz.

        Also, this phone can charge other phones via OTG cable, meaning it also doubles as a power pack.

        http://www.bgr.in/news/lenovo-p780-android-smartphone-charge…

        And to make the most of it, Lenovo lets users share its battery with other smartphones! The phone comes with a USB OTG cable in the box and one can use it and the phone’s USB charging cable to connect it with other smartphones to charge them.

  about the same price as a Nexus 4 hmmmm what phone would people prefer?

  • 

    xuqi on 16/09/2013 - 17:48

    I would pay the extra, and buy a 16GB Nexus 4.

  morpheu on 16/09/2013 - 18:02

  i wouldn't put much faith in that "massive 4000mah" battery, the Samsung S4 is a better phone that costs a lot more and that has a 2600mah battery, only way they could shoehorn a 4000mah battery was if the phone was massive in size! despite what's on the label most China phones are around 2000mah give or take a little, the good battery life is because this type of cpu(MTK6589) is based on the low power ARM A7 core

    The phone is quite large, it's ~180grams and the S4 is ~130grams I think, roughly 1.4x the weight and same screen size (5"). Lenovo isn't a generic knockoff brand, they make laptops and other hardware too. I read quite a few reviews about this phone a month or two ago and I'm actually inclined to believe the claimed battery size, one of the reviewed features of this phone is to charge other phones with a supplied(OTG?) cable. Yes the processor is a MediaTek, but otherwise this phone might be worth a look if you're happy to risk an overseas tech purchase(the reason I decided against it for ~$250 at the time).

    S4 will cost you around $700. and after a year or so, you would feel like changing it anyways. $230 is not that bad for a lenovo brand phone.

  I think this phone looks good for $133 but only issue there is no info on the battery:

  http://www.antelife.com/star-q9000-mtk6589-quad-core-smart-p…

  Might get one for my mum. What you guys think?

  • 

    CyberGenesys on 17/09/2013 - 16:53

    google says

    Built in 2500mAh lithium battery

    also

    WCDMA 2100MHz

    Means no or bad 3g in regional locations. Other sites list it as 850/2100mhz so it might just be a misprint?

    I've been keeping an eye on this for awhile, but so many new models are coming out with the faster MTK6589T so haven't taken the plunge just yet…
