**** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

Oooh, if the ZUK Z2 Pro (64GB) has a decent camera, I might switch from my OPX.

AMOLED screen (which is a requirement) and Snapdragon 820!
Don't even mind it not having an SD card with 64GB onboard (I only have a 32GB card in my OPX any way).
 
On the Redmi Note 3 Pro what are you guys running when you set up Locale? There isn't a United Kingdom/England listed, so does anyone work fine? Have it under Spain at the moment.

Apart from that no Spy/Crapware on it like my old Lenovo K3 Note had and build quality seems a lot better too :)

I chose Algeria. I found with Spain, my clock was an hour off.

I have mine set to the USA on my note 2 and had no problems at all.

Nice to see that Top One flashes the genuine rom on the note 3 pro. Mine is out for delivery today.

Is it the X5 you have, or the X5 Pro? Thinking of getting the X5 for my son - how is the battery life on it?

Just the X5 as far as I'm aware. Battery life, on limited use seems a bit poor. In my test, it's scored the worst of any phone I've tested (up to about 10 in the current format).

Having said that, I think it's pretty amazing for £38. There are a few stutters here and there, a little lag, but for £38...

Depending what hurry you're in, this one will be on the MM in about a week or so :) (Only bought it to review really)
 
Just pulled the trigger on a Doogee X5, only after a cheap phone for work so will see how it works out.

Got any tips for this phone Andy? Worth rooting/new ROM etc?

Thanks,

J.
 
Not at the moment, I've not really used it properly yet. I'll probably just use it a couple of days this coming week, to get a feel for it, then get the review done.

Tbh, it's not fun reviewing the budget end of things, so I move on quicker than the top end devices.

Me too. Bought from the rainforest for a few quid more. Will return it if it's not good enough.
 
Had a bit of a delay on my Redmi Note 3 Pro from top one. The seller has been really good in contacting me though and explaining that xiaomi have had a shortage in my colour option. They gave me the option of choosing another colour for the same price or waiting out. I've waited.
 
Other half is looking to replace her gen 1 moto g, the doogee x5 pro caught my eye (4g ok on Gifgaff?).
Looking around the £100-£150 mark if there's any alternative?
