      I have set my alarm to wake up at 3 am to wait in front of my computer.

      Even if it's at full price….stick a Samsung sticker over the Bluboo.

        Just to clarify, it should be 4am for Syd/Melb/Brisbane right? Starts in 10 hours and 5 mins from now and it's 555pm now = 4am start. Don't want you waking up an hour early for nothing also!

          Might be relevant here:

          CNET reports:
          Amazon just put budget phone maker Blu in the penalty box.

          The online retailing giant told CNET that it was suspending sales of phones from Blu, known for making ultra-cheap Android handsets, due to a "potential security issue." The move comes after security firm Kryptowire demonstrated last week how software in Blu's phones collected data and sent it to servers in China without alerting people. Blu defended the software, created by a Chinese company called Shanghai Adups Technology, and denied any wrongdoing.

    So uh … presumably this has nothing to do with the previous Amazon best selling cheap BLU phone that phoned home to China. The name is all familiar and everything ..

    • scrimshaw on 31/07/2017 - 18:34

      no, BLU is a budget phone brand that's popular* (air quotes) in the states and in the UK, Bluboo has nothing to do with BLU.

          Lucky Dip
          Noun
          1. lucky dip - a game in which prizes (e.g., candies or coins) are concealed in a container and for a small sum a player can draw one out at random.
          2. lucky dip - a selection or decision purely at random; "their system of selling phones seemed to be some sort of lucky dip…"

      Its supposed to be a "superior chipset giving staggering performance" but since its only a 1.5 octacore MTK I bet we will all remain 'unstaggered'.

      also the use of the term "Full Display" is amazingly clever.

      Not Full HD but "FULL".

      The reality is that a 720p phone is a hard sell these days… I think about $150 is a fair price to pay for a 720p phone with the std. 13mp cam.

        Compare the Helio X25 against the SD820. It comes out well and only loses out in 3D scores (which is a big part of Antutu but less in Geekbench)

        • Butt Scratcher on 01/08/2017 - 22:25

          @scud70: My point wasn't to compare which chip set is better, he mistook it for a lower tier chipset. Probably important to point that out. Imagine buying and iPhone 6s only to find out it was an iPhone 6

    basically expect no software update, android 7 will stay on forever and worst no security patches so any mighty exploits left by google for the NSA what not will be there un patched.
    expect no warranty down the track, no brainer :)
    expect poor build quality on components
    so pretty much a 100 dollar lottery for the unboxing fun and ROM hacking.

    Bluboo owner here

    Don't have this specific model but ive had a few chinadroids over the years and the bluboo i currently use is by far the worst. It overheats and barely runs even in cold temperature (particularly after charging) and the GPS is quite bad. Also it is loaded with adware that i haven't been able to bypass. I can't even remove base apps off this phone (unlike the doogees i owned in the past) so just be warned as far as chinadroids go and the recent xiaomi deals, you would prolly be better with one of those (in fact i might go for one of the xiaomis)

    • lovepub on 01/08/2017 - 11:34

      It's that bad huh….
      I guess I will have to fork out extra $800 for the real S8 then

      • Iggemo on 01/08/2017 - 15:18

        it's actually terrible, the GPS doesn't even move in poke-go, you have to turn the screen off and on to get it to even move at all, and i didnt even mention the battery life which is also atrocious. There are so many other basic issues that even the doogees dont have that this suffers from so - that's my experience, just be forewarned about it

    Sorry to be that guy… I tried waking up at 4am for one of these BangGood flash sales once, and because of the congestion, its like the servers were getting DDOS. I also don't think 10 stock is enough - look there's already over 40 positive votes, and I'm sure at least 10 of them would be keen on trying.

    Not a fair deal IMO

  • peuwayaqdq on 31/07/2017 - 20:45

    So by their product line, is this better than Bluboo S1?

    Problem with these all new "mix" style phones, I can't see hands-on review probably because no one has gotten their hands on them yet.

  • Click_It on 31/07/2017 - 21:23

    If memory serves, this is the company that did a S7 knock off too. I saw a youtube review. Overall he was impressed with the physical quality of it, though on close inspection you could see it was a fake if you knew what you were looking for. Apparently it's downfall was the performance, it was faking a faster CPU than it really was. When benchmarked it was WAY slower than it should have been. From memory it cost the guy about $60 USD or something so it's probably the same company making this one.

    Performance is where this will come unstuck, but appearance should be pretty good if that's your main concern. (Shrugs).

    EDIT: Of course I could be completely wrong, I'm very tired. Either way, 3GB/32GB phone at this price is impressive. I'd buy it for my daughter.

  • AMLagonda on 31/07/2017 - 22:42

    Err guys.. I said that before. Every Dropship company does some level of Bait to get you to try and squeeze at a certain time. Given only 10 was available and that there is 1.5 BILLION Chinese alone inside China let amongst the world, your chances of getting it at this price is probably the same as winning 1st prize in Lotto.

    Mods: Please do not allow this type of posts to come on. I know there is a rule for a minimum quantity of stock to be >10, but this case is ridiculous coming from someone who's been using Chinese Mobiles for years. Bait sales on Dropshipping needs to have at least 100+ quantity before anyone in Australia stands a chance of getting it.
