There were a lot of common questions, so I figured I would compile them into the original post so I didn't have to answer them over and over again :).

Important Specs:

5.5" 1280x720 display

MTK6752 Octacore 1.7GHz

2GB RAM

16GB ROM

Android 4.4, expect the Android 5.0 Lollipop any day now (As of April 16, 2015)

Do not update to Lollipop yet, the ROM is still buggy.

2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

3G: WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz

4G: FDD LTE: 800/1800/2100/2600MHz

8MP + 5MP camera

3200mAh battery (probably false, its most likely smaller)

Rooting Info:

Rooting currently works using Kingoroot on Android 4.4.4. Once updated to Lollipop, you are no longer able to root.

Currently, xposed still doesn't work on Android 4.4.4 devices. If anyone is successful in installing Xposed post here to let everyone know.
