Any 'coming soon' 5.7 or 6 inch models?
#1
Hi Everyone,

My son's just started to work in HK until the end of August. And I quite feel like a new large screen phone.

Is there anything on the horizon from the likes of Xiaomi ect that I could ask him to bring back later in the year?

Either 5.7 or 6 inch screen, Snapdragon processor, as hi res screen as possible ect. It would be nice if it worked on 4g in the UK, but if not I'm happy with 3g.

Any future watchers know of anything due in a few months??

Thanks...

Great question!

Does anyone happen to have an upcoming device list with frequencies and battery capabilities for phones of this size? That would really be a great place to begin planning a future purchase.

This is not up my avenue, but you could consider the Shark 1 from Leagoo coming
http://www.chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thr...nch-models

It does not have a Qualcomm SoC, but MediaTek uses the same core technology as Qualcomm. It has 3G and 4G for UK and Asia and has a Fn huge battery.

Or you could spend 3x as much on something like Huawai Mate 8

Nice device that went cheap on 3G/WCDMA frequencies... unfortunately.

I really have no idea why some of these China phone companies cheap out on this (and other small things) on a $200 device.

A lack of many 4G frequencies I understand, but in this day and age there is absolutely no reason (if you are going to attempt to sell internationally) to have a device without four 2G and 3G frequencies.

The Mate 8 is an nice piece of kit, but WAAAAY to expensive for what it is. They have put themselves in Note 5 and Nexus 6p territory with a lower resolution and their second to third tier branding. Good luck with that, Huawei.

I agree on all you said, Ed. It's very frustrating watching all of the China brands doing this except for a select few. A lot of China brands have gone "official". I think their thinking is that if they're concentrating on UK and Euro marketing, why incur the extra licensing fees required. There's a huge price war going on... So competitive and people will switch brands or shop on a $1 difference. Pretty crazy, but that's the mentality. So they need to penny pinch every spot they can.

Hopefully this changes soon... Sad to see in 2016 phones coming with 3g that doesn't work in half the world.

re brand tiering, If forced, I'd take Huawei over Samsung and Nexus over either (regardless of manufacturer). Personal choice, I realize the general public wouldn't agree...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

@Gizbeat, Roger that.

I understand where you are coming from w/ Huawei. The battery life on that device is phenomenal compared to the others, thanks to the lower ppi and a bit dimmer screen.

Where they get killed is, as you pointed out, in personal preference. I personally hit a wall with it when comparing the range available in aftermarket cases. I really like a lot of flexibility with my cases, but I'm a weirdo like that. On that note...

Your personal preference comment reminded me of Disney World of all places (stay with me) as I was just there over Christmas, in the thick of the expensive in-season madness. As I was looking through the plethora of official Disney stores, both in park and outside, I noticed that the only phone cases available were for Apple products. All marked with a large "5" or "6", with a few "4" thrown in for good measure.

At first I thought it strange, as Apple phones are popular, but so are Samsung, LG, and many other brands. In fact, upon observation, it was painfully obvious that the bulk of the people within the park did not have Apple devices. Then it dawned on me:

They are only offering what sells in large quantity at inflated prices. Disney Corp. has crunched the numbers and deduced that owners of Apple products are far more inclined to purchase a poorly made $35+ piece of branded ABS plastic than owners of other devices... so what does that say about personal preference?
