Almost everyone has at least a smart phone, and after a long time play on your phone, the phone may drain a lot. Now the question comes, if the battery drains out how can you make a phone call when needed. The Xiaocai X6 has two main merits: 1. Use it to make phone call as a spare one. 2. The batteries is 5000mAh, it can be used as a power bank for your smart phone.

    I think your listed standby time is wrong. For example a Nexus 5 is rated at 300 hrs standby so in theory this little thing should be way beyond the N5.

    If it's NOT wrong… well then this phone would be a piece of crap

    • elusive on 03/11/2014 - 20:54

      Ridiculously inefficient, exaggerated battery, or both. The Nokia 108 claims a 31 day standby time (~750 hours) on a 950 mAh battery.

    • twocsies on 03/11/2014 - 21:41

      This phone has a net weight of 70 g. However, a 5000 mAh battery weighs around 150 g. Therefore, my guess is that this is not indeed a 70 gram phone with a 5000 mAh battery.

      • Store RepLeftdrop @ Tmart on 04/11/2014 - 13:53

        Hi, net weight doesn't include the battery.

        • Junereth on 04/11/2014 - 15:04

          wouldn't that mean that it's not the nett weight?

      Have you EVER achieved such long standby from ANY smartphone?

      • twocsies on 03/11/2014 - 22:43

        This isn't a smartphone and neither is the Nokia 108.

        • tm001 on 04/11/2014 - 12:40

          I was responding to jzdhgkd. He mentioned that Nexus 5 is rated 300hrs standby.
          We can both agree that Nexus 5 is a smartphone. I swear that I have never ever had a smartphone which would stay up for more than 100 hours even if I would not touch it. Ever.
          In real life the battery lasts about 24 hours. If I don't touch it, then 2.5 days. My old "dumb" Nokia lasted about a week with no problem. I think it was also rated for 300 hours. My point is that in my opinion those numbers are completely useless and you are better of just guessing from the type of phone and the size of the battery than going by those ridiculous numbers.

      From what I can gather the official-ish website for the manufacturer Xiaocai is http://www.coko.com.cn/?product-135.html

      It's all Chinese but seems to be 1632 hours standby (68 days).

  • dylanando on 03/11/2014 - 19:22

    thats a big battery, why such small stand by time?

    • Make it so on 03/11/2014 - 19:25

      I checked elsewhere, and I think it's supposed to be 360hrs. Changed it in the description.
      But with a 5000mAh battery, a "thick phone" should be able to last a year :)

      • dylanando on 03/11/2014 - 19:41

        haha you'd think so, 360hrs sounds much better, though this one is too slim for my liking.

  • Mixhael on 03/11/2014 - 19:41

    It's got LAND RDVER written on the back :)

      Also, that is not reason why I voted positive on the deal. It's because I think $35 is a reasonable price for a dual sim, unlocked phone with a 5000mAh (maybe) battery which you can use to recharge your other devices. Hell it can even take pictures.

      Ah China you crack me up

  • deanylev on 03/11/2014 - 19:42

    360 hours is nothing! My Xperia Z2 is rated at 740 hours with a 3200mAh battery and a WAY more demanding screen, CPU etc.

    • ozdavo on 03/11/2014 - 20:04

      You are aware standby is when the screen is off & the phone is basically in hibernation… it only shown newer modern smartphone are better in this state, which really shouldn't be a surprise.

  • bob_wangkar on 03/11/2014 - 19:48

    M8. A massive battery coupled with an inefficient CPU doesn't mean anything. Good idea, poor execution.

    • scrimshaw on 03/11/2014 - 19:49

      I think the phone is pretty much an afterthought. Think of it a power bank that also happens to make and take phone calls.

  • ozdavo on 03/11/2014 - 20:05

    If you were using this as a back-up phone/battery, then likely it would be turned off until required & therefore should last many months with only minimal drop in battery?

    • donga100 on 03/11/2014 - 20:16

      Exactly. Standby time is pretty irrelevant for what this phone is likely to be used for.

    • RedHab on 03/11/2014 - 20:16

      Unfortunately, it won't last months, as the battery will discharge itself, even when the main load (phone) is turned off.

      • ozdavo on 03/11/2014 - 20:31

        Mate, self-discharge rates for Li-ion batteries is around the 1-2% per month, so at 6 months it should still have over 80% charge.

  • miq on 03/11/2014 - 20:09

    Garbage.

    I would honestly buy this if they showed the phone going under water for 5 minutes and surviving. I really doubt that'll happen though.

  • greenie4242 on 03/11/2014 - 21:19

    @Leftdrop, is an online PDF manual available? This could be perfect for my Dad. He's always working on his car, in the garage, in messy places. He HATES smartphones and just need a basic phone with an alarm clock, and preferably a calendar. He's hard of hearing though, so I need to see if it works with a T-loop.

    • Store RepLeftdrop @ Tmart on 03/11/2014 - 23:01

      Hi, I will check this tomorrow. If there is one, I will update here.

    Why not just buy a power bank to charge your phone that has more than just GSM reception?

    5000mAh should be able to do 3+ months for such a phone. If it lived up to expectations I would buy one right now.

    But this looks like junk.

    • [Deactivated] on 03/11/2014 - 23:09

      Just because it's using a garbage OS doesn't mean it doesn't have a power hungry CPU, its an MTK chip which means lots of power drain. The phone is just for backup (i.e. the entire purpose of this device), don't judge the battery off it.

  • sonicentropy on 04/11/2014 - 00:05

    Late 90's tech I choose you…

  • dbadcock on 04/11/2014 - 06:54

    Reminds me of this one that I used to own - http://www.cnet.com/products/sonim-xp3300-force/ appears to look similar
    Different Specifications and price tag though.

    You could freeze it in a block of ice, then smash the ice and the phone would still be ok, throw it off a building, drive over it with a car. - I'll miss that phone.

    Looks like excess stock of the Land Drover special edition (1850 mAh battery - 1500 hour/62.5 days standby) of this with a few spec bump ups.
