Integral would be a decent brand.

In short, no, it doesn't have a gyroscope and not compatible with google cardboard.

But, it does somewhat work with 3rd party apps and the accelerometer, also OK for some cinema apps.

I was actually coming back to ask about this. So if i got a cheap one, would it work away but not have the movement? Spotted one in Dunnes today for €20. If i thought it would work with movies/tv id be happy with that!

Hhmmmm! There was 3 available 7 minutes ago and it has upped to 4 in that time! Dunno is that a good sign!

Never heard of the brand.

Get a Class 10 one anyway (theyre faster).

Never any sign of the quickcharging that we were supposed to have on this phone was there?

Have software update pending here but reluctant to update as some people have had problems since update. My phone hasn't been working the best for last while and running quite slow so between two minds as to whether update or not

Updated here and had no problems.Well none that were the phones fault anyway. When settings xposed back up I didn't edit the build.prop file so I had lag.

No noticeable difference really after the update but it is meant to fix the Bluetooth problem people were having. If you are having problems though I would recommend a factory reset and then do the update. What apps are running slow or was it everything?

Red do you have Integral Brand one? Sorry my brain isn't working and I'm too tired to quote.

If you ever get a chance download snapdragon camera 2.1 APK, it works on this phone even unrooted and I think it gives better results than the stock camera app

I know these questions has probably been answered several times in this thread but i don't have time to look for it as im about to head to work and will probably buy this phone on my break.

Im upgrading from a sony xperia e3 so i know the specs massively outweigh what i already have.
My questions are is it worth the price, how good is the battery life and would I get away with some gaming on it? I will be unlocking the phone and putting my 48 sim card into it.

Been using mine since August or so....Great battery life, great screen. Has lasted very well so far. I've a few scrapes in the plastic where the the paint has come away I probably should have gotten a decent silicone cover... Screen is perfect and I have no screen protector.
Price point is still very worth the specs

I'm looking to buy another one of these phones after getting one for my daughter for Christmas. Is the vodafone site the best to purchase from:?

Amazon is a better deal I believe. Just do your sums. (Pay in sterling, as Amazon give a crap exchange rate when purchasing in euro)

Vodafone UK. So when getting an unlock code from a eBay seller just mention it's locked to Vodafone UK rather than ireland.

You'll just end up giving them the imei which should be enough for them to unlock it!

All going well with my SU6, I had only intended on keeping it a year, but at this rate I might try and make that 2!

Did you download the latest it's update. This was meant to fix the issues people were having with Bluetooth.

Anyone know if there is any version of cyanogenmod for this phone?

One on XDA but I don't think it ever made it to a daily driver.

I do like my VFSU6 at the moment but this phone is tempting me its the LG G4 Stylus mobile €178 unlocked incl UK delivery - its killer is it ony has 1GB RAM and I would be worried about running apps with 1GB RAM, I think the SU6 has 2 or 3gb RAM doesnt it? - got the same Snapdragon CPU as the SU6 - its on sale at Argos but a lot more expensive at €272.99

Have you a laptop or pc? Plug both sd cards in and copy/paste. If you cant plug the cards in leave the old one in the phone, and hook the phone up via usb lead, then put everything onto a usb key. When its done remove the old sd card from the phone, pop in the new card and copy/paste again.

I did a n update recently, every time i lose connection to the network (which is quiet often when you live down the country) i get a notification sound. Anyway to turn this off

Ah I wouldn't touch that. Using a phone with 8GB internal memory is a pain in the ass. And 1GB of RAM is not really enough these days. The SU6 has 2GB.

This is the phone I was referring to earlier, spec looks very good and a bumper battery. A mile ahead of the LG G4 anyway....
