Has anybody got experience with cubot phones?

This one has caught my eye http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_125385.html?wid=3

It's really a old phone with iPhone design, no attractive now

Yeh its winning me over too, smaller battery but quick charge really helps that.

Edit: Lots of battery complaints, I think ill give it a miss.

I wouldn go for the first one it sems to be an older spec phone, ulephone in my opinion would be a lot better, as regards battery most smartphone have battery complaint some people told me the elephone had terrible battery but i get a day out of it.

Went with the Bluboo X550, performance is no problem for me so dropping power wasn't a concern and its also a 64bit processor which the THL isnt, bigger battery than the THL 5000 and bigger screen which is what I wanted, has a quick charge too which is handy, android 5.1 and 4G with a bigger screen ratio so barring processing power its a upgrade.

Whenever I buy from them and pay for shipping, it always seems to land on the 7th day. No matter if I order from Europe or China.
I haven't seen any advantage ordering from European warehouse with them, other than the VAT is paid in advance.

My Oppomart delivery is still en route. I was hoping to have it by now, but in their defence, they do state "8 - 12 days delivery" and I'm only on Day 9.
It left DPD Oldbury Depot last night at 8:18PM.

What shipping method did you use?

I usually pay, and it's always DHL. But it' been a long time since I ordered anything from their European warehouse.

Anyone know Xiaomi new model - Xiaomi 4c？ Which will price at $200, the specifications seems good, especially the snapdragon 808 processor, so maybe will become a new hot mid-end phone?
