is an octa 1.5ghz cpu equal to a quad 3ghz cpu or does it not quite work like that?

You'd have to compare processors not just clock speed or core count.

focalprice trustworthy?

I have ordered a tablet from them & they sent a phone (that didn't work), pain to return, crap customer services. I had to pay for return postage, I wouldn't t touch this company again.

In my experience NO

I have voted hot, but if I read the other thread correctly, it will not support my Tesco sim card, a pity but I added some heat any way.
I will now have a read through the other thread properly to find a 4g chinese phone that will work with my Tesco sim card

From what i had read i believe its only Focal Price who are advertising 4g for a Tesco and all others outlet are basically saying it'll only have 3g on this band,hopefully i am wrong as i too was looking at this phone but opted for the elephone p8000 because of the 4g problem

16th Jul 2015

Can someone post a link please to the thread that explains 3G, 4G bandwidths. I'm with 3 and don't (currently) get 4G in my area. Any information on Chinese phones that accept 3G in the UK would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm confused

I think it's more like 2 quad cores. One runs at a higher clock and the other at a lower clock for power saving

spot on. got it from focal price. had a cheapo tablet from them last year without problems. just got a spare battery from pandawill for about £3-4. I am really temted to buy the iron for the 3gb but I just can't justify it yet.

16th Jul 2015

According to

willmyphonework.net/

You'll be able to get 4G with Three, EE and Vodafone, but not with O2, Tesco and Giffgaff you'll only get 3G. For O2 etc you'll need a phone that supports 800mhz to get 4G

im on 3uk and have got the Bluboo x550 which works great on 4g. I even got 50 Mbps download speed in York this week.
I got it from Aliexpress for £95 and am very happy with it

When is release date? Loooks a nice phone

16th Jul 2015

How long do these normally take to arrive?

16th Jul 2015

I am so tempted to move away from Apple now. I got the kids Onda v989 32gb tablets earlier this year and they are amazing for an unknown Chinese brand at a quarter the price of an iPad Air - and you can add memory cards! This phone has an amazing spec at this price and might just tip me over the edge!

Thanks, I think I'll take the plunge at that price. Lolipop pre-installed is a bonus, my OnePlus One has been nothing but a pain since the update to 5.1!
