I have no problems with the GPS, did you also with GPS Test clear and update the AGPS data? but yes you have to be outside - not inside a building. The phone need a clear line up to the sky. Most china phones don't work with GPS from inside a building. The only phone I ever had that was able to was the Blackview Alife S1. (1 of 1000 Chinaphones I have tested).
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
There are 1000 of 5.5 inch devices with dual sim + Micro SD 3gb gps glonass, I have no idea what you want.

I don't want to sound rude, but you need to look for yourself. Each have pros & cons, and people have different opinions. I don't want to choose for people..... there is no other phones with same design as the Xtouch.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
No, and currently still no ROOT. And the GPS is not bad. It is fine for car navigation.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
It is too early to answer on, the phone is still to new and almost no users have it yet. There is no CM ROM yet afaik.

Can you please measure the device manually?

Gizchina Germany claims that device ist 151mm long - instead of 143mm Buboo is claiming... that would be a real mess! Can you please confirm that?

Thx in advance!

Thanks for your GPS test.

Did you turn on mobile data when you did the test using gmaps?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I get this measured - phone size is: Width: 71,9mm / Height: 146mm / Thickness: 7.7mm
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
No, because the mobile data network is really bad in the area I drove, so I did this with offline navigation, so it would be the same for both devices. Also the main test was the GPS not the data connection.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
What do you want to see with androits gps test that the "GPS test" app in the review video didn't show? The lock is pretty fast, and accuracy down to 3-5 meters. Also it supports GLONASS.
[Device Reviews and Information] erkabe1:
Yea i know but a like in this app that show country flags of gps sat.

Battery Percentage

hello!

thanks for the video test. I did not see if the phone has the battery percentage.

Thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
It is a feature of android 5.

You can show percent by install percent enabler from GP. It doesn't require root
[Device Reviews and Information] Herbie17:
Can anyone test it please. Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] Androstarter:
I think it's the usual standard for a dualsim phone. Can't imagine that a dualsim comes without that feature..

Or is there really an actual model without that?
[Device Reviews and Information] Herbie17:
Yes, the Ulefone Paris or the Elefone P6000 pro are without that Feature.

This feature is important for me.

According to the information, Bluboo and GizChina gave me, there are currently no final devices on the road.

All devices for the reviewers are pre-preduction samples.

I thought you should know this. Some have faulty cameras, some have not working gps modules and others have battery problems or a different Wi-Fi chipset, but Bluboo claims that these problems will be solved until release date (last information: 11-30-15)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Well, let's wait and see - I hope your right :) but I have no hardware faults on mine. On mine the camera thing is definitely a software/cam driver problem, as the blurry side changed after I changed the Build number. GPS is working good, same goes for the WiFi and battery. I spoke directly with GizChina (Germany) also on Skype and their current version does have REAL serious problems, as the camera can not focus on anything in landscape mode, all their pictures are 100% blurred, I saw some (not just talking a bit in the sides like on mine) so definitely a defective camera module. I hope they are going to get an actually working sample, so they can do a fair review.
[Device Reviews and Information] bofbaz:
thanks for your effort!

Hopefully, we'll know more in the next days.

which is the better XIAOMI RedMi Note 2 32GB 4G Phablet or xtouch

i'm afraid if this of xtouch virsion is the final and it's don't have Gyroscope " vr technology doesn't work without it , isn't it? "

beside xiaomi is famous brand

and this bugs of xtouch make it bad or what

if this phon was a sample they real will fix the bugs in the phones in this short time
[Device Reviews and Information] Androstarter:
I ordered a xtouch at geekvida. Until yesterday they informed on their homepage, that delivery will start at 11-25-2015. Today they changed the date to the 11-30-2015.

Maybe I canccel my order. Can´t imagine that bluboo can manage all the bugs within the next weeks. Or they deliver a first serie with minor quality and different bugs...
[Device Reviews and Information] SoafOne:
notification led ?

Does this phone has a notification led ?

I'm not able to find this information, some of the shops say it has other don't...
[Device Reviews and Information] BPavel:
Yes, it has, see video by s7yler.

Coolicool changed the status yesterday from presale to in stock... hope something is moving already.
[Device Reviews and Information] bofbaz:
I canceled my order, too. Bluboo plays a game which I don't want to participate in.

... but that's totally normal for Chinese companies.
[Device Reviews and Information] BPavel:
Yes, right. May I ask which phone would you choose instead?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Bluboo has just yesterday released a new OTA wirelesss update on the phone. But haven't had the time yet to check for any improvements. The changelog just said bug fixes and optimization.
[Device Reviews and Information] freneter:
From Geekbuying:

Thanks for your email ,Really apologize for the delay but the factory told us they will give us some batches of this item in the end of month .

Very angry with them as our customers like you have been waiting for the item for many days.

The factory did not support the item to us in time ,we also negotiated with their manager few days again and they promise us that they will give us "BLUBOO Xtouch " in the end of this month

please do not worry.
[Device Reviews and Information] bicho79:
s7yler thanks for your review :good:

i've ordered mine via coolicool a month ago for 150$ including a cover.

the specs looked grate and i was interested in a 5" device, but i'm disappointed that the phone does not support fast charging as declared on bluboo's site.

did the latest update has solved some of the cons you've described???

Any way, coolicool has also updtaed that the shipping date won't be before the 30.11 -already waited more than i should :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

Could you tell if the update has made any real change regarding camera, battery or other functions??
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I'm not sure, but seems a little bit improved. But I need to try the camera outside also.... currently we have cloudy sky nearly every day here and bad weather, so not the best to shoot outdoor pictures.

The camera, for some reason seems to be most sharp in the center area.
[Device Reviews and Information] bicho79:
regarding the battery - does it actually support the quick charging ?
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Hm, am I the only one who see a pink cloud in the middle of every photo?
[Device Reviews and Information] bicho79:
it might be a cause of the room light temp..
[Device Reviews and Information] bofbaz:
I'm not sure. Good <5.5" devices are rare. OnePlus X is interesting although the snappy isn't the latest. The Honor 7 isn't a good performer at 3D gaming. And the Xiaomi M4C doesn't have a fingerprint scanner. Maybe the Redmi Note 3 is a nice device but it's a 5.5" monster :/

Bluboo's out for me. Maybe I'm wrong but I think that at least the first load of phones will be faulty and Bluboo won't really care about that.

'Beyond your life' - lol.

Don't get me wrong, I hope that they get the known problems fixed asap.
[Device Reviews and Information] WayBlack:
First of all s7yler, big thanks for your reviews you do a great job.....I am really interested in this phone but all the bugs and no gyroscope...!

Just a thought maybe we should list the current known shortcomings/bugs put it on your first post and tick them off as Bluboo fixes them, be good to track....

Gives everyone a one stop location to evaluate when to buy.....just a suggestion....

Many thanks again s7yler

Bluboo height is 143mm while redmi note 3 has 150mm...... Just 7mm difference... Because of very large bezels on bluboo...... Foot a 5 inch screen I must say bezels are really big.... My Samsung s4vwas 137mm and I thought bezels could have been narrower....

[Device Reviews and Information] przemek4net:
Hi,

I ordered this phone few days ago… and get answer yesterday from the seller that they still didn’t send the phone… I suppose is just too many orders or producer is not ready to send new “reworked” phones… we are shortly before Christmas so they will definitely prepare soon phones (reworked or not… we will see)

I have already jiayu g3s (over 2years)… last moths I have some problems with microphone (people complain that they cannot me hear properly /probably extreme dirty and there is no LTE, aku is still ok)… I also was afraid how it will work… but the phone is/was ok (only the software that was the s… I had to replace all china aps with normal/for me/) – I hope bluboo won’t be worse. I decided to take bluboo because

-	Good params

-	Not “plastic box” like mobile phones from samsung

-	Is not 5.5” (my pockets in trousers are not growing)

-	Fingerprint reader

-	No usb-c

I don’t want to spend weeks to test 20 firmawers because on each something doesn’t work…. Just to switch on, install some software and use…

Br,

Which seller is it ?

I'm going to order today (black friday discount)
[Device Reviews and Information] przemek4net:
country-tech (seller)
[Device Reviews and Information] Melkor:
I cancelled my order today, because there are too much questionmarks:

Techtables released a hands on with one of the final devices and it seems that there is no gorilla glas as listed (back is made of plastic, front has protective foil => for gorilla glas????), the back can be squeezed, no hint for OIS...

I could not trust the product/company anymore...

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qdv3i67Fk4

P.S.: OIS feature was removed from Bloboo official page...
[Device Reviews and Information] BPavel:
Yeah, big rumour around... only the time show the reality.

Anyway, the back is made of 3D printed plastic, that is also anounced by Bluboo.

Regarding the front glass....... hmmm, if you study the Bluboo's webpage it is really not clear, whether they use the Gorilla, or only the glass screen protector is made of it (this one sold separately).

My remark to the preproduction samples. I have noticed that the first reviewed pcs had white plastic stripes on the top(near the jack hole and to separate the antena). Now the new ones have black plastic already. Maybe that could be the sign of final product?
[Device Reviews and Information] bicho79:
hi

this is my message on bluboo's facebook page

Hi bluboo - according to reliable review of the xtouch, there are few problems with the device - seems it doesn't support quick charging and the camera has major problems which wasn't improved even with the last update. you can check the review : http://xdaforums.com/.../bluboo-xtouch-5-0-fhd... - hope you can check it and improve it before you'll send the major batch of the device

that's their answer :

hello, the sample they get is not the final version. the final version will fix there problems
[Device Reviews and Information] euplio:
Really hope so but I doubt.We just have to wait!
[Device Reviews and Information] przemek4net:
I suppose the software issue to correct it will take few months... phone is new... pressure to bring it to the markt befoe christmas

I suppose each new phone will have similar problems... or you buy something which is minimum 6m on the markt...

On some android mobile phones is possibility to install windows ... or install to versions of systems with some boot menu? that could be very interesting...

Cancelled my order also

I'm an importer who was interested in importing Bluboo devices but after the evident false specs and the shipping delays, as of now I've decided to put Bluboo business plans aside for now.
[Device Reviews and Information] Coolgreek:
I have read so many things about this phone... And have ordered one 16 days ago (from Gearbest).

Anyway today i received the tracking number (i got no notification from gearbest, just got into "my orders" and saw that). They even have a photo (bad quality and turned around but still i can see clearly the destination and sure, it's mine)!

Cant wait to get it, will also get a full review then!
[Device Reviews and Information] Androstarter:
geekvida.de changed the start of delivery today from the 30Nov15 to 15Dec15. I cancelled my order already in the last week.

Bluboo never promised a back made of glass and a protective foil is quite usual for any kind of front glas. Thats not my problem. I am more concerned that they won´t manage the camera problems. If there are good reviews of different users I might order again.
[Device Reviews and Information] Zinken:
I received mine yesterday. Haven't had time to test it much yet - but I can already say, I really hope that my phone is some kind of pre-production/prototype. This is the worst piece of sh*t I have ever held in my hand. Build quality feels similar to the plastic dummys they have in some electronic stores.

SIM-tray / Back cover is not a proper fit. Leaving glitches and sharp edges around the sim tray.

Power button loose, volume button ok.

Does NOT feel like gorilla glass. Came with protective plastic and with scratches/marks underneath.

This phone looks like good value on paper but knowing what I know now, I wouldn't want to pay $10 for it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Coolgreek:
Well, that is too bad to hear... I am long from receiving mine yet (most likely will have it around Christmas) but i am very dissapointed by what i've read so far.

Please give more info about the phone as you test it.

PS: received already? May i ask where you ordered it from?
[Device Reviews and Information] Zinken:
Yes, I ordered from geekbuying. When I simply asked for a status report on my order - they suddenly replied that they shipped my order. I was very surprised myself.

I'm very disappointed too, I am aware that "you get what you pay for" but this is worse than I expected.
[Device Reviews and Information] trojanere:

[Device Reviews and Information] przemek4net:
Hi,

I ordered it over week ago...I paid (country tech seller?), I get the tracking number!!!!... and nothing!!!!

yesterday I asked - what about tracking (DHL tracking web page cannot find any information!) - they answered that they still didn’t send!!! and they put “some tracking number” to avoid cancelation of order by the system!!!...

I suppose they collected orders but because producer doesn’t have phones (maybe too much orders or they still didn’t prepare reworded version)

I don’t know...

I could probably cancel (aliexpress) this order but for such $ get 8core with 2gb ram and fingerprint reader with metal box 5”... no chance

For taking photos I have normal camera but I suppose this will be much better than my current phone

We will see…

Difficult to take pictures that show how the power button is loose or the marks on the screen, but here is a pic of the sim tray:

[IMG="http://imgur.com/H1aJe8L"]http://imgur.com/H1aJe8L[/IMG]

Not physically feel, but the looks of the display after 2 hours of usage and the fact that it came with a protective film pre-applied gives me the feeling that this is not gorilla glass. Also, the fact that Bluboo lied about other specs is not helping.

Here's a >real< review

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Bluboo-Xtouch-Smartphone-Review.155051.0.html

But I have to say that it seems to be that they did not know, that there is no OIS ;)

... wow, the display is incredibely bad. Even for this pricerange.
[Device Reviews and Information] SoafOne:
I've just seen it today in my hands, the display is not that great but not that ugly neither...

For this price and these specifications, it is more than correct to me.

You cannot expect having better paying less...
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Wow, that's the most professional review I have ever read. Didn't know that site before.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Doesn't seem to be much different from how gsmarena.com do their tests. No wonder no one heard about them when they are called "notebookcheck", people wouldn't think about phone tests then.....

Stop talking about real or not real reviews, there is no such thing. Making a phone extra bad in a review doesn't make it more real. If a phone is bad or not bad depends on the user who test and what his expectations are to it. The display could be brighter and better but it is also not "incredibely bad" I have seen a lot worse. Gizchina even wrote the display is "good" where I rather would say it is "ok". I would say it is about what you could expect from a phone in this price class, we don't talk about a 600$ phone, if that was the case we had reasons to complain.

[MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION]

Sry, to say that, but you are wrong: If Bluboo is advertising "probably the best 5 inch display" with 450cd/m² and you get this. What's "real"? If they don't advertise with this specs - everything would be ok. I would not expect a brilliant display, biut now???

What is also very bad in this review: He writes that it is a "good cam" but the pics are bad - particullary the backyard picture: http://www.notebookcheck.net/fileadmin/_processed_/csm_IMG_20151125_225713_eccc613b2b.jpg

It has also problem with sharpness at the right part of the picture... reminds me on your pics - but you did not say that's a good cam... so the cam hat "potential" but that's all.

I hope they fix the colours with a update and I hope for all the buyers that they improved the production of the cam - it looks like the lens is not plane on the sensor... :(
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Yeah it is advertising and advertising is often bull****. I have seen this on MANY Chinese phones, also from other brands - iNew also wrote their iNew L3 had OIS, but it also didn't. Never trust the advertising, that's why you should always check at least 3 real reviews (from one you can trust, or one who lists all pros & also cons) before you buy any Chinese phone. Reviewers who ONLY tell about pros but no cons are for me not trustworthy - because no phone is perfect. For the camera, it is really a question if it is bad software or a bad camera (hardware). I hoped it was the first, but since it is still not really fixed and many get the same results - I could be wrong, and yes I see the same blurry right side on his pictures. That is exact the same problem I have.
[Device Reviews and Information] justyfier:
so i ordered the phone and got it yesterday, but my irder is still processing and they say the havent recieved any stock yet, so free phone/ anyway no mayor bugs only the camera quality could be better

My remark to the preproduction samples. I have noticed that the first reviewed pcs had white plastic stripes on the top(near the jack hole and to separate the antena). Now the new ones have black plastic already. Maybe that could be the sign of final product?

What do you think? (s7yler)
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Maybe, I don't know really why some have white plastic stripes while others (mine) has them in black, it is indeed strange..... normally only the white model should have them in white.
[Device Reviews and Information] palito1980:
I am waiting for my phone and don't know when will get it. Do you guys think that there will be any development possible? It would be ideally to get CM12 but hard to say. To early.
