Been looking around for a cheap 6Gb phone for a while now.

Saw this bargain popup today.

For $243 AUD you get a phone that has;
-Android 7.0
-6GB of RAM
-64GB of internal memory
-A Helio P25

I can't fault a brand new phone at this price.
I've used Banggood before to buy a Lenovo Zuk Z2 but this seems far superior.

Also chatted with live chat and everyone gets the 'bonus pre-oder package' that includes;
-case
-condom (lol)
-fidget spinner (lol)

Note: HD screen, no Band 28,notification led.

    Bargain? It could be the worst phone ever produced. Who knows until it gets released and reviewed.

      Sure it might be. But with hardware like that and a brand that isn't totally unknown you're getting bang for your buck.

        Got could always gamble on the MAZE Alpha. It's exactly the same but even cheaper and with a 1080p screen.

          This looks good. However I'd more happily give my money do Doogee given they have some brand backing and Banggood states it comes with a 1Yr warranty.

        • busymoddingskyrim on 10/06/2017 - 18:19

          After a bit more digging the Maze only has 3GB ram rather than 6GB

          @KLoNe:
          The link on the Maze website is for the blade, not the alpha. The alpha is $277ish at gearbest so this is still a "better" deal.

        • fchis on 12/06/2017 - 01:25

          @Test Tickles: actually, maze alpha is not even on sale yet. The price on gearbest is probably indicative only.

      I'm sure applications exist that aim to fill RAM and test it's speed if you're sceptical.

      • tonyjzx on 10/06/2017 - 18:19

        yeah but how come no other company needs to make that sacrifice?

        it has good specs but you cant accept that with only 720p…

        • dcep on 10/06/2017 - 19:46

          because it's not ips lcd & 1080p amoled is too exp for budget phone manufacturer

          then enjoy your 720p then… i mean its just 2017 after all

    looks like it is not 1080p. but with a summing almond 720P screen, and 93% screen/body ratio, makes it more attractive than the expensive Xiaomi Mi Mix.

      I'm waiting for his review too. At this stage looks like it could go either way with this handset. Processor is Mediatek (I don't like) but could be ok after all. Screen and battery life concerns me though.

    Doogee is one of the most reputable and solid Chinese cellphone producers. Using their phones since a long time. Never an issue.

    • Punkboy on 10/06/2017 - 19:16

      Lucky you, bought what seemed to be an excellent spec phone on pre order and the screen sensitivity was so poor in a certain region of the screen it was near useless. Doogee is dodgy.

      • PictureMeBroken on 10/06/2017 - 22:34

        Because of one bad egg in the basket, blaming the whole brand? Not really wise. Can happen with ANY brand and ANY range of goods. Speaking about Samsung, does it mean the whole brand is bad? Definitely not.

        • Punkboy on 11/06/2017 - 09:15

          Regardless, prior experience warrants consideration especially in context of a presale model without any reviews and the dreadful manufacturers support for the issues.

    I was interested until i saw mediatek :(

    • busymoddingskyrim on 10/06/2017 - 18:20

      Have you had troubles with Mediatek in the past? I'm keen to know more.

      • KLoNe on 10/06/2017 - 18:31

        Should be fine, I haven't heard anything 'bad' about them, just that they're not as 'good' as Qualcomm SoC's, but that shouldn't matter to anyone.

        I don't think Mediatek release any information to the public though so that's why there's hardly any development on firmware/ROMs or kernels for Mediatek devices if you're interested in that.

      • BluBoy on 10/06/2017 - 18:59

        No custom ROMs for them (or 'less-than-complete' ROMs).
        So when the vendor doesn't provide any updates (which they won't), you can't look at lineageOS (previously CyanogenMod), or any of the other major ROMs.

        These Chinese brands are (mostly) fine, but without community ROMs, the factory OS is usually buggy, packed with ad and/or spy-ware and don't receive updates.

        • Diji1 on 10/06/2017 - 21:26

          So the "chinese brands" whatever they are are usually fine but apparently "fine" is usually shipping with buggy operating systems or malware.

          Also I have never used a third party ROM that was more stable or faster than stock.

        • BluBoy on 10/06/2017 - 22:13

          @Diji1:

          Do you really need someone to explain what is meant by 'Chinese Brands'? These phones are from China.
          And yea, I have ordered dozens of these brands, and while the hardware is usually comparable, the default ROM is usually terrible.

          This is sent from a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, running current LineageOS. A significantly better experience over the MIUI OS that came stock.

    Small correction, when you say "Gb" you are saying Gigabit, not Gigabyte.
    If you want to use the abbreviation of Gigabyte it is "GB", otherwise you are understating the size of the memory/nand by a factor of eight.

  • hawamahal on 10/06/2017 - 19:12

      I don't think you understand how little difference there is between 1280x720 and 2560x1440 on a 5.5" screen.

      There is no difference in functionality. There is a small difference in image quality.

      Remember 6 years ago when everyone was saying how retarded 1920x1080 on a 5.5" screen was?

      • hawamahal on 10/06/2017 - 22:44
        +1

        There is a significant difference between 1280x720 and 1920x1080, 2560x1440 is another step up. I have all three resolutions and there is a significant difference. After using 2560x1440 for some time now, i can't even go to 1920x1080, forget 1280x720

    Honestly.. I'd take the ZUK Z2 over this any day. The Snappy 820 kills the Mediatek P25. It would take them a P30/P35 (unreleased next gen) to match the SD820 in pure processing and graphics.
