Only found out about this phone yesterday, have you guys heard of this phone?

[Specs]
Official released phone information:

5.5" JDI 1080p display
Snapdragon 801 (Unknown clock and model)
3100+mAh battery (non-removable)
Sony Exmor IMX214 6-Lens 13MP camera
5MP Front-Facing camera
16GB & 64GB Variants
Stereo Speakers
StyleSwap Covers - Multiple materials/textures
Single-SIM card

Specs seem good and they've paired up with CyanogenMod. Supposed to be quite cheap too at under $400 and is supposed to be released on the 23rd of April 2014.

I'm interested in what thing phone will be like, however I have a few concerns:

1. Build quality and durability (unknown company with small R&D budget )
2. Cyanogenmod support- Will it be mostly bug free or random device breaking bug
3. LTE support in the UK ( or GSM only?)
4. The device as a phone- Call quality, battery life (on cyanogenmod)
5. Warranty & customer service- Local returns or overseas

Overall, will see what they release on the 23rd of April.

Sounds promising!

I've had my eye on this for a while and what with the interchangeable backs with different textures I.e. denim Kevlar Bamboo etc this will be the sleeper smartphone of 2014.

Especially if they hold the price below the proposed $400.

Looks good, but will have to a get a hands on as its a new line of phones and we have no idea what we can expect

Looks like a good phone but the none removable battery is a stopper for me.

European pricing is said to be under 350 Euro. I'm unsure if that price includes VAT or shipping.

Its smaller then a Z1 which is very impressive given the specs and screen size. Looks like an interesting device and the CM rebranding looks very solid.

5.5 inch screen in a 5" body sounds a bit optimistic

but prove me wrong and I'll get it

interesting.. but z1 is quite big so not THAT surprising then

I'm incredibly interested in this phone, but I'm still waiting on what the speaker situation is. For me, it's front facing or nothing. It simply doesn't make sense for them to face any other direction.

This may just be the best phone out this year, spec-wise.

This is what the Oppo Find 7 should have been.

But it is much better use of the space if they fit in a much bigger screen, and most of the other hardware is par.

yup.

we'll see what they bring on the table

Fallen god · 5 Apr 2014 at 23:40

I'm very interested in seeing how the device is built, given it is not a well known name/brand and how things like the screen/camera are. Most of the rest should be good, given the software is CM and the SoC is current.

This phone sounds too good to be true.

Reppyboyo · 6 Apr 2014 at 02:27

Considering its supposed to be out this month there isnt a lot of info out about it.

Might hold off upgrading till I see it.

There some Chinese phones coming out with a very close spec but cheaper.
Maybe this phone is a rebadged one?

Got a link?
Never even knew we could get chinese handsets over here yet.
