Does anyone here have the Lenovo K910 as a matter of interest?

I would be great to hear from someone with hands on experience of the phone.

I'm always curious about that phone as the specs are very good for the price.
Its an ugly phone in my opinion which puts me off it.

Lenovo seem to specialise in ugly phones

The big price drop of the K910 makes it attractive again

did you notice that the panel on the right hand side is wider than the left (the black going around the actual screen)

No, seems to be the same on both sides.

Did you check it for dead pixels yet ?

The star s4 I received from pandawill says it's an Escher, model number FDT W999.

1gb of ram? Cuts out the point of an octa core with that little memory.

I also fancy one of these. I couldn't find many reviews.

I agree. These forum regulars are so inconsiderate :-)

RossieMan · 23-07-2014 10:48PM

Its the lack of reviews that's scary. I'd say finding ROMs for it may be difficult. Still great spec though.

satguy · 23-07-2014 11:18PM

I bought one and my son did a review,, he is only 14,, so its not a good review.......
I was not going to post it,,, but here it is anyway.....
it is a Elephone P7 Blade Quad Core 1.3GHz Dual Sim 5.5 inch ( 2.0MP on front and 8.0MP on the back camera)

Watch to end or at least 16:15 for some nice close up stuff.....

MidlandsM · 23-07-2014 11:51PM

I'll ask one more time..........and then give up.....

where can I order the new mi4 ? Anyone selling it yet?

RossieMan · 24-07-2014 12:23AM

No, it was just announced.

A Greedy Algorithm · 24-07-2014 12:48AM

I'm in the market for a new phone. I was thinking the Moto G but i found this thread and some of the phones seem really nice for the money.

Can i just ask - are they of high build quality and do they last? I try to keep a phone for as few years and cannot afford a new one if something was to happen to it!

Also does anyone have any good recommendations for around the 150 euro mark?

Actually, it's available to buy now on Pandawill, for just under €350

Of course it can, and it'll be on there already, would you buy an android phone with no Play Store? I dont think there's a phone in this thread with that problem...

Some of them dont have play store preinstalled.
Cant remember which but I recall a few like that

I was looking on one site and it said it wasn't installed and seen it with a few phones on those chinese sites. Wasn't as stupid a question as you made it out to be.... :pac:

Etotalk have updated the THL 5000 to include a price of €230.

Saw that, bit pricier than other sites, also this phone ships with (may be an early buyer bonus from THL) a bumper case, flip case, screen protector, 16GB card, and an OTG adapter included, so if buying from them check that they are included as they don't seem to list them.

Which site offers those extras?

I'd say this phone will be big seller by the looks of things. There seems to be a lot of interest in it especially with that big ass battery.

Has anyone ever used this site:

http://www.xiaomishop.com/

It looks quasi official but I would guess it isn't.

Thargor · 24-07-2014 11:53AM

http://www.mi.com/en/ is the official shop, dont know about Xiaomi resellers but all the Jiayu ones pulling this trick were dodgy, trying to pretend to be the companies official site is usually a big warning to stay away.

Was leaning towards the mi3 but this phone looks very appealing now also, especially with the big battery!
