...sHilly, im sure you dont mean that, it was just hard to pass up a Pun
Eamon did mean it though, I never mentioned where I purchased the phone from and I never mentioned a price.
Now eamon You are being childish...Me saying I just ordered the phone was meaning within the last 24hrs and yes i just checked emails yesterday and it was indeed shipped within 24hrs. Tracking number is for anpost and showing in the Uk right now.
Im aware of there bad service reports from the site that YOU speak of (girlfriend ordered me a device for christmas that I got end of JAn!) But this is also true of many china sites that claim to have stock when they do not have stock and this is why the estimated order processing for most china sites can be 3-5 days.
Im confident Ill have the phone by next Monday to report back on it.
Also expecting a delivery from geekbuying of a tronsmart intel atom baytrail dual boot tv box (running kitkat and win10) ordered the same day with DHL , so be interesting to see which comes first.Not a shill, honest wrote:Got the ZTE Axon elite during the week. Took 7 days from gearbest "EU warehouse" for 5er delivery and no customs
It doesnt look as cheap and gaudy as i expected with the back fake leather edges.
Feels good in the hand, fairly weighty but i like that and the more squared edges as it means less chance ill drop it.
Havnt tryed it with games or full daily use yet ( as i must get nano sims first) so no feedback on the battery usage. I estimate its average at 3000mAh, doesnt appear to be draining with background apps, its been on 3 days now with plenty browser usage and lots of wifi time downloading apps. and on 12%.
the phones doesnt have any unwanted "bloatware" from what i see. The cleaner and virus app works well and fast to clear junk and RAM, its called Mi-assitant and im sure the themes are called Micolor! dont know how they get away with that because xiaoMI mi ui.
The camera is the best ive had in a phone, ive had two other models with same sony imx214 before and the software was only ok.
this software is very easy to use that gives dslr type after effect of refocus due to the dual camera setup. Its pretty good, compared it with my friends HTC dual camera and is much better with brighter clearer photos and easier to use. That said i havnt tested it in night or video yet. But Im more than pleased with it.
The sound to bluetooth headphones and the wired JBL set that comes with is very good, due to the 2x hifi chips. The speaker is above average too, nice and loud and positioned on the front which is great if you want to watch a video or listen to music and dont have the speaker facing down away from you or having to place it screen-down on table to listen to music.
The Ui has no app drawer but i was used to that anyway with MIUI, I didnt think id like the UI but I actually dont mind it, Im stuck with it and happy enough (the device cannot be rooted afaik)
It has NFC and i think it should be able to work with android pay.
The fingerprint is better than the xiaomi note 3. and the eye unlock works flawlessly in one second, tested it with other peoples eyes and they could not unlock it.
When i first turned it on, it has this "alive share app" that it offers to use at 1st boot to use NFC i think, use with your old phone to swap all files and settings.
Says 40times faster than bluetooth not sure if its NFC boosts bt or its wifi transfer! i prob wont ever use it, but its an app and its there and i dont know what it does haha
Id recommend this phone if you can get a nice price.
The only bad point is that its stuck with android 5.02 and doesnt look like they will be updating this model to new versions.
Also as with some other phones id have you have to make the choice of dual sim OR 1sim and SD card. This isnt a problem though as the phone has 32GB storage. NOT dual 4g, sim2 will be only 3g.
Nice review..0 -
