2014 was quite a year for Chinese cell phone manufacturer, Gionee. One of the phones it released that year was the Gionee F301 which is the first cell phone to use MediaTek’s MTK6732 processor, one of the CPU manufacturing company’s new 64-bit processors. Gionee also released one of the slimmest cell phones of the year, the Gionee Elife S5.1. The phone’s dimensions are 139.8 X 67.4 X 5.15 mm. How does Gionee plan to follow up these releases? Well, it is already 2015 and the company is already showcasing its new products.

At the most recent China Mobile Global Partner Conference, Gionee unveiled its newest cell phone, the Gionee W900. This phone is most notable for having two 4-inch 1080p display screens. Now, it is finally on sale, however, its display screen does not have FHD resolution but only WVGA resolution.

According to official reports, the Gionee W900 uses a dual 4-inch display panel with an 800 x 480 resolution. It is also a 5-inch capacitive touch screen. Furthermore, this phone uses MediaTek’s MTK6732 quad-core processor. Among other things, it has support for dual-SIM cards. As for memory, it has 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM. It also sports a 5mp front-facing camera and a 13mp rear-facing camera. It is also powered by a 2050 mAh battery and runs the Android 4.4 operating system.

The materials used to design the Gionee W900 include stainless steel and other hard metals. Its other features include voice command and driving mode for when you are driving your car. The Gionee W900 can now be bought at the company’s official online store for 3388 RMB or 546.06 USD.

As of Sunday, there were new tablets in stock but because it was a rest day, SF Express could only ship them to stores on Monday. After the newest supply arrived, I took a few simple photos of them.

Finally, after waiting so long, the manufacturers have already shipped their next supply which should arrive next Monday.

These WinPad tablet must have been influenced by Emdoor’s EM-i8080, but have 2G RAM and should be less than 900 RMB (145.01 USD).

Product name: Voyo WinPad A1 Mini

Processor brand: Intel

Cores: Quad-core

Display screen size: 8.0 in

Internet: WIFI

Internal Memory Storage: 32GB

Operating System: Windows 8.1 (Chinese)

Resolution: 1280 x 800 touchscreen type: capacitive

RAM: 2GB
Intel Processor: Z3735D

SF express package is very sturdy

After unwrapping it, there’s the Voyo box.

Inside the box are the tablet and free accessories.

Accessory bag

Inside the box are a case, USB Hub, HDMI wire, OTG wire, electric pen, and earphones

Win button and volume button

There are more ports at the top including the mic, mini HDMI, Mini USB (OTG), etc.

First impressions:

1. I can’t use Windows 8 very well right now. It is more complicated to use than with Android and Apple’s phones, but it should not take long for me to get used to it.
2. It runs pretty fast. The installation process is a bit slow. For example, when you unzip the Zip file to install Lu Dashi, it will take a while for the installation process to start.
3. Metro’s IE is very easy to use. Accessing video streaming sites like Youku are the same as with a regular computer. There are also no Flash problems. It’s standard Windows so compatibility is not a problem.
4. Screen resolution is good. There are no dark spots. I would go as far as call it perfect.
5. Heating is ok. It does not get too hot. Temperature is around 45.6 degrees.
6. I still don’ t know about its endurance.
7. I finally installed Lu Dashi, but I need to plug it in to test it.
8. Craftsmanship is okay. There is a bit of screen leakage.
9. More testing will be done soon.

The screen size is 5.3 inches with Full HD 1920* 1080 pixel resolution. The RAM of Newman N3 upgraded to 2GB, and 32GB storage space. The rear camera is 13 megapixels.

iOcean X7 is the first MT6589 1080HD phones available from a China manufacturer. This smartphone is almost most cost-effective device than Jiayu G4 and UMI X2, here is our hands-on video.

iOcean X7 Hands-on video

The design is very close in style to the Oppo Find 5, which itself is similar to Sony’s range of Android phones. Like the Find 5 the X7 has a 5-inch display, and all black front on top of a bright white rear (black is also available).

The front of the phone is taken up exclusively by the 1080 HD display, with a front 3 mega-pixel camera perched at the top, and capitative Android navigation buttons not the chin. Turning the phone around we can find a micro USB port and microphone on the base of the phone, power/lockscreen button on the left, volume rocker on the right and 3.5mm headphone jack at the top.

The plastic rear shell has subtle iOcean branding, while the 8 mega-pixel camera (13 mega-pixel on the premium model) sits toward the top with LED flash to the right. The camera isn’t flush on the X7, but doesn’t protrude too much.

Obviously the phone runs Android, but it’s a nice surprise to find that iOcean’s engineers have left the system alone and it appears to be running a stock install. Best of all though is the use of the latest version of Jelly Bean 4.2, which is a great plus!

Running the vanilla build of Jelly Bean 4.2.1 isn’t a problem for the 1.2Ghz quad-core MT6589 processor, even with 1GB RAM on the youth model and 5-inch 1080 display (2GB RAM will be available on the premium phone), and as such Antutu benchmarks are spot on reaching a respectable 12,284! In comparison the JiaYu G4 scores slightly higher, but it is only running a 720 display.
