Topic: Smart Phones from PRC

I agree but think the Youth model battery life will be short!  If the Premium model is slightly more expensive, then it's the phone to get!

How about this beautiful looking 4.7 incher....

Choices, choices......

I am quite keen on the premium model, not sure when can get one, looks like they only have youth version on pre order now.

Another brand and premium phone to consider...

Looks like this is the year of 5 inchers'

Where can I purchase this phone in Singapore?

[francis wu]

Bro, Oppo and some other popular brands are available internationally.  Check their websites for more info on this.

You can definitely get them in Shenzhen or Hong Kong at the Mongkok mobile retail shops.

Happy shopping.

Looks like Samsung seifor matches the Oppo in terms of screen size and resolution

And so are many PRC brands not mentioned above such as ZTE, Huawei, etc now have 5" 1080p display.

If Apple doesn't introduce their 6 with a minimum 4.7", they will lose more market share to Android!

[Doggie Howser]

I dunno. If I wanted a bigger screen the Mini seems like a good choice. I find that I like the smaller form factor of the iPhone when I go out.

Apple does need to rethink the UI from single handed use tho.

This vivo phone also looks interesting.

The new Galaxy 4 specs are quite similar to Oppo but they are still using the Amoled which makes it the worst display on the market in terms of color tone...cheezzz

Anyway ordered the iOcean X7 thru' my Shenzhen contact to play play since there is a dual sim card, useful for my travels.  For 999 rmb, this is another steal.

I can see why jumping into a 5 incher is a pleasant surprise.  The extra real estate is really something to behold.  Can't see me going back to the iPhone 4 incher unless they come up with a 4.7" this year.  It's like switching to a plasma 65" from a 50..
