[Android General] drkbg:
Here are is my experience with Be Touch

1. Delivery:

This was carried out perfectly by the seller Gearbest & DHL.

Since this was my first order on Gearbest especially from the Far East, I had slight concerns about the import, customs etc. Ordered on Wednesday, received 10 days after that.

Conclusion: Always use DHL with that type of items from the Far East. That way you'll skip the problems that may occur with customs.

2.First impressions quality:

Usually as with all phones, you get next to the phone and power supply, USB cable, screen film, instructions and headphones so. When Ulefone Be Touch, however, a silicone shell is attached to the phone, which is a good service. It's not the best silicon case but still it's a nice touch.

Actual Phone: Let's start with the few negative aspects, as this should be an objective review. What I find very sad is that the phone will be sold with a an attached screen protector, but there the manufacturer's logo is printed on it. These must be removed first and the enclosed Displayfolie sit on what for me is fiddly job and I'm not particularly gifted in such matters. (* Grin *)

Worth mentioning, I find it a shame that unfortunately Ulefone does not offer Tempered Glass like Elephone. Maybe it will come soon, only time will tell...

3. Finger scanner.

Up to 5 prints are possible to configure - definitely enough. The configuration of these can be easily run. I am positively surprised by the fingerprint scanner. For me accuracy is around 80-90%. I find that much better than the traditional passcode. One problem there is that if Fingerpirng lock is enabled there are no notifications present on the lockscreen. Software issue which should be fixed by OTA in the future.

Conclusion: Respect to Ulefone, great scanner, breathtaking speed.

4. Battery: Well now, how can one put it, personally I find it a bit poor for a phone equipped this strength. It will last as with many other phones by moderate use about 1 day, under intense about 1/2-3/4 day with low usage up to 2 days. The Quick Charge works well, as far as I can tell. When flight mode is activated, it was about 2%. After 15 minutes I had charged 20% of the battery, not bad!

Conclusion: Better buy the battery from Be Touch 2 and have best of both worlds.

5. The Body & Speakers: Solid aluminum-magnesium bodysuit. Nice back cover. Buttons & slots are where they should and do not wobble. Only opening the back cover requires a bit strength.... I've always been afraid that I'll break it. The speaker isounds perfectly fine.

Conclusion: Quality top!

6. The display & GPS: Processing and quality are very good, because there is nothing to move around. A resolution of 720p is sufficiently good, not very good. Alternatively Be Touch 2 comes with better resolution but this comes with the price of higher battery usage and lower cpu efficiency.

As far as I can tell, the GPS is working properly.

Conclusion: nothing negative, but it should be mentioned that the resolution of the display can be a bit better.

7. The Software: The Android 5.0 runs smoothly after a few tests. Soon to follow is an update to 5.1. The memory available is enough, maybe more than enough with 3GB. The 64bit octa-core processor is doing its job All the tested applications, games etc. run very fast and without any problems.

The Antutu score is around 47000 points.

8. Camera: The Sony IMX214 with 13MP resolution makes quality images, in my opinion. Compared to other phones that I had, it is really outstanding. Since I have not had so much time to try out the camera as desired, I could be wrong here. There is an update of the firmware that is supposed to include an improvement in the camera. Here are few photos taken by Be Touch:

The overall impression of the phone is of a (almost) high-end product with great features such as the fingerprint scanner and the very good camera. It is solid, fits comfortably in your hand. Manufacturer Ulefone promised regular updates over OTA. It will be interesting, what else is going to come!
