It seems it will have a version with Helio X20 and 128 GB internal memory:

Ulefone Future will have Helio X20 128GB Version

Chinese brands are high on making devices with stunning specs since the beginning of 2016. Earlier we have Xiaomi, VIVO, and now Ulefone join in the rush saying their bezel-less device Ulefone Future will also a Helio X20 version with 128GB built-in storage.

Ulefone says the X20 Future will still be equipped with 4GB RAM because the chipset is not compatible with 6GB memory at all according to the MTK official information. Among other specs, the display will have a resolution of 2K and the back camera will adopt 20MP CMOS. Due to a shortage in supply of X20 chipset, the top-spec Future will be released later than the Helio P10 version.

In addition to the bezel-less Future, Ulefone will also launch a version with narrow bezels around display, also packing Helio P10 and 4GB RAM but offering lower camera resolution and smaller built-in storage. And of course this version will be a little cheaper.

Anyway, the normal version of Ulefone Future will be released in April with 16MP Samsung Camera, side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 1080P display besides, Helio P10 and 4GB RAM.

Virtual buttons

http://blog.ulefone.com/ulefone-future-will-have-pop-up-virtual-buttons/
[Device Reviews and Information] JVitor:
I think I also would prefer hardware buttons because from what I can see in the video, the screen doesn't fill up the full phone frame, and the virtual, pop-up buttons look like a little too away from the bottom edge. It's weird.

I think a best bet is just to keep the traditional, stylish look such as from Be Touch 3 and Vienna. The virtual pop-up buttons could end up compromising the new design style and new features of the phone. My 2c.

According with Ulefone news, it will be on sale next week

Ulefone Announces Bezel-less Flagship Device Ulefone Future

If you have ever suspected that Ulefone Future is a just a bait the company use to keep the their brand awareness, you can be at ease now because we finally see the bezel-less device announced on the official page of Ulefone, who stresses the sale will begin next week.

Ulefone Future has all the specs that are supposed to come with a Ulefone flagship in the year of 2016. The octa-core 64-bit chipset Helio P10 is as fast as 2GHz; RAM and built-in storage are enlarged to 4GB and 32GB, respectively; and the 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 camera is expected to offer more details in photos with PDAF for fast focus as well as dual-tone flash to fill natural light in darkness.

The above specs only justify the Future’s existence in the high-end market, but it would be an average competitor if without the bezel-less display and side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The 5.5-inch 1080P display is said to offer limitless visual experience while sitting below the power button, the fingerprint scanner will be right next to your finger.

3000mAh battery capacity sounds mediocre this year but a flaghship is not supposed to be thick. Many brands’ solution to this dilemma is a high-power charger, while Ulefone is no exception. They will provide users of the Future with a 9V/2~3A charger to fill up its battery in 1 hour.

Another indicator for Ulefone Future being a flagship is its metal unibody, which claims to come from a whole piece of magnesium-aluminum ingot by CNC cutting. While preserving the natural texture of metal, the unibody will have solid structure to protect the screen from hitting.

For more, Ulefone Future will come with Android 6.0; the Cat 6 baseband will support 350Mbps mobile data speed if your local carrier can offer 4G at that level; gyro sensor is equipped for VR apps; and Type-C USB is adopted for reversible plug.

Ulefone Future measures 151.5 x 73.5 x 8.6mm in size and the weight is 185kg with battery built in. Thanks to the bezel-less design, the Future will be smaller than most 5.5-inch devices. And you will have 2 colors to choose, grey and golden.

Ulefone Future - Information & Reviews

Introduction

After their amazing DAC Smartphone at a low price, Ulefone has finally announced another amazing device that will be sold with sales starting from next week.

This is the Ulefone Future

Unlike their previous devices, this is their first flagship featuring a Mediatek Helio P10 CPU, 4GBs of RAM with 32GB of ROM, an excellent 16MP Samsung S5K3P3 Camera supported by PDAF auto-focus and a dual-tone flash configuration, a 4G Cat. 6 Modem and a Gyroscope Sensor. Pretty nice considering that no other Ulefone device was made with so much high-end hardware.

Even if some previous leaks said that it would have a 2K Display, this isn't true. It will have a 1080p 5.5" Display (bezel-less)

Similar to some Sony Xperia devices, the Ulefone Future will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a pretty particular feature that makes this device different than others.

There are no dimensions known yet, but it is said to be absolutely thick and this is why its battery is just 3000mAh. It doesn't mean that this is too low, because the included hardware doesn't require so much power. Supported by MTK Pump Express Quick Charge technology, it will be able to be recharged in more or less 1 hour.

Almost all Chinese companies are now focusing their attention on the chassis, and this device will have a Metal Chassis (with CNC treatment) that makes the device much more ergonomic and reduces the risk to break it much easier than standard treatment.

Mediatek provided the Helio P10 CPU only starting with Android 6.0, so the Ulefone Future will have the latest release of Android.

Other details coming soon :)​

More information about the battery

Ulefone Future Recharge and Drainage Test

Ulefone Future has 3000mAh battery which is only passable in the year of 2016, since a flagship is not supposed to be thick. As compensation, a 9V/2~3A fast charger will come in the package to fill up the battery in 1 hour.

In a latest battery test, Ulefone staff managed to charge Ulefone Futre from 21% to 76% in half an hour with the phone turned on, indicating that a singe charge will cost less than 1 hour. And playing online HD video for 30 minutes, the battery drained from 100% to 91%. If this has authentically reflected real life, one-day normal use should be out of problem.

In addition, Ulefone Future will share the same Pump Express Plus charger with the mammoth battery device Ulefone Power. And as always, Ulefone claims the Future has packed a Sony li-polymer battery.

[Device Reviews and Information] beruppino:
yes i notice too this small battery problem.
[Device Reviews and Information] xecuttor:
Same here. Especially when wifi is on (not even connected, just on)

Also I have problems with the mobile data. The Future should have 800Mhz LTE which is used by my operator and should have strong signal (my work phone Samsung has 800MHz LTE and connects properly) but the Future only uses 3G. In settings there is an option to use 4G or 3G and I have it set up on 4G. Is there any app that could test this? Which band it uses right now and maybe strength of different signals in my area?
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
You can do a speed test, 3G max speed is around 10 mbits and 4G is up to 100 Mbits.
[Device Reviews and Information] xecuttor:
Speedtest isn't relevant enough to determine where exactly is the problem (signal strenght, band used...)

And I'm just sitting here, reading your posts and starting to regret that I didn't cancel my order... I really hope that Ulefone will fix all of it soon. But I don't think they read what you wrote here so please, send it all to Ulefones support staff as well. K?

Thanks guys :)

Dont worry guys is already more then 2 week ulefone know about the gps problem coz is more the 2 week i have the phone and is not just me complain about the gps but there is a lot off ppl on they youtube channel and the ulefone forum, they say they are fix the bug, and everyone hope soooooo.:good:
[Device Reviews and Information] UschiT:
So, after 12 h my first impressions.

GPS right, works not so fast, but it works. Outside needs more than 1 min to find.

in that case i detect with "GPS Status" not all sensors are calibrate, compass was complete wrong.

Pictures works fine for me, in that picture you can zoom in and you see details in the dark windows of the house, distance 100m.

My big problem ist, i have no mobil data connection, without wlan i cant connect with mobile data. Germany O2.

Has someone an idea?
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
Yes, it took me a while to find out too. Go to Data Usage, then go to the provider you want to activate data for.

There you find options for cellular data.
[Device Reviews and Information] UschiT:
thx, works.

i guess on that point i ll never search that.
[Device Reviews and Information] xecuttor:
My 1st impressions aren't so good either in terms of connectivity.

LTE is weird, I don't catch a signal (Here we have 800MHz O2 in Czech). 3G signal drops often. Sometimes its slow or even lose connection, don't know why. This bothers me the most, because with Lenovo K3 note and Samsung galaxy core prime it was ok all the time. Wifi is rather weak, much weaker than 2 previously mentioned phones.

GPS is another story. 1st lock is never under a minute (Lenovo has 5-10s, Samsung around 15s). 2nd and 3rd locks aren't fast either - 30s, 20s (unlike lenovo and samsung 4s and 2s locks)

Overall I'm very dissapointed with this, mainly because 3G signal problems. I can't play games using 3G, use facebook messenger properly or even surf as it takes such a long time to start loading pages (and drops often)

I have sent Ulefone every issue I have so far with connectivity and I really hope they will release an update soon, otherwise I'm selling it and getting xiaomi redmi note 3 or something like that.
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
Same problem with my ulephone future :

Signal is not stable.. 3G Always drops with no reason. . . Disapointed too with this phone. No reaction from ulephone hk, no update...

Quality of signal is very poor.. it will be necessary to make a correction for that or the phone will be return directly
[Device Reviews and Information] Alberto96:
Just to let you all know, Ulefone still have to send me the device, neither they reply to my emails....

I really don't know what is happening at Ulefone, this is a weird behavior.
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
So i received an update i have to pay 55 euro's for the Import. Is that still to much?
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
for me : Less than 40€ but It depends on the phone selling price ...

in fact you pay VAT + customs fees

As I bought € 179 it seems logical to me to have this charges

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

Me too, i dont' understand the behavior of Ulephone. It is as if they had nothing to do with this model.. No update, no correction, no root, no response..

and for those who just come to buy, not stock in advance ..
[Device Reviews and Information] juv3nal:
After hearing of all the problems I don't feel too bad for cancelling my order with Ulefone and buying the Redmi Note 3 Pro which I should get next week!

Hope all goes well for you guys!
[Device Reviews and Information] dommels:
I guess that seems about right
[Device Reviews and Information] desofiapedro:
Touch screen sensibility lost?

Hello guys, my Ulefone Future arrived on Tuesday and was working perfectly until yesterday at night. The most right side of the screen is not working properly in the sense that it can't realize i am touching the screen, i have to touch multiple times and sometimes i'm lucky and it works.... The image looks fine and clear, but it doesn't answer properly when I touch... as you can imagine it gets hard to open apps in the right side of the screen or write messages with letters "P" "L" and erasing a message. Are any of you having this problem? About the GPS, I haven't tested it yet but I assume it is a problem we all have :(
[Device Reviews and Information] addisj:
Heard back from Ulefone;

Hello, our engineers are working the GPS improvement and will release updates to solve

the problem later.

Have a nice day!

The "Future" model should be a top priority for Ulephone. It's the top of the current range and also the most important technically. This is also the model which has been the most advanced in terms of advertising or pre praise.

One week after the official release date of the P9000, elephone already started to send a corrective update, published the Root phone procedure, and transmitting the firmware to different geek magazines.

With Ulephone .. Nothing ...

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

I expected a lot of this brand, which was young and do everything, normally, to prove its seriousness and quality. But I am very disappointed, not for the device itself, but the slowness of monitoring and the absence of a true technical service and total abscence of users listening.

The answers are always the same:

For the procedure of root ? "We Will post soon the establishment of root - But always nothing and our phones are impossible to restore

For the GPS fix? "We will publish the patch update soon " - but always nothing

For lack of receiving GSM signals: "We will soon publish the patch update" "- And yet nothing on the horizon

For the abscence of the img of the current firmware on the official blog: "Thank you for reminding us forget this, we'll fix that soon." And guess? For 15 days still not firmware displayed.

It feels that I began to lose patience?

So i finaly received the Future!

- GPS is very bad, waited for 5 minutes still no accurate location.

- Wifi connection to the router is very slow, with my other phone One Plus its great. (Looks like the wifi module is not strong enough) bad connection.

- 4g connection drops alot of times
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
there is therefore the same problems as all other owners of Future.

Hope that Ulephone will come with a update soon !
[Device Reviews and Information] Matt1104:
I sent an email to ulefone about gps and camera issues and this is what they replied to me...

Yes, our engineers are improving the camera and GPS and will release updates to solve the problem.

But generally, metal unibody will have weaker GPS signal than plastic phones. If you need very high GPS accuracy, i suggest Ulefone Power.

Have a nice day!

I think they don't know how to solve those problems....

You can't. It was adressed in one of last reviews, I think the one Linus put on top of that page
[Device Reviews and Information] MikeDennis:
Does anybody have problems with the camera flash? Mine makes it orange and dark.
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
Yes i have also problems with the 3g/4g connection, inside i get very often that EDGE is on. Even the communication for calling is 0.

I have to go outside to calll someone?!

I found another big issue, the touchscreen is doing weird things.

Anyone else has this issue?

Im thinking of sending the phone back, to much issues already.

[YOUTUBE]LZNrnGKAkQA[/YOUTUBE]
[Device Reviews and Information] oliversum:
I've got the connection problems also on wifi.

These are ghost touches, had this problem with a chinese tablet. Your touchscreen seem to be broken, you should send it back.
[Device Reviews and Information] desofiapedro:
I made a post some days ago asking for help with a problem in my touch screen and nobody answered to me. The problem was similar to yours but in the right side of the touch screen; if I touched it, it either didn't answer or it would sense touches everywhere and glitch completely. Guess what? It was the screen protector that comes with it... I took it off and it works perfectly. Don't know if yours is still on, but it worked for me.

I don't have any problems with my connection, i am from Portugal by the way.
[Device Reviews and Information] fanfan7110:
there are many people who have this signal quality problem, and the other gps problem.

I wonder if ulefone was not too fast by offering a marshmallow device. It's like if they hasty starting the shipping with nothing optimized.

I'm curious to know if there are many people who already regret their purchase.
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
I took the screenprotector off, but the thing is the ghost touches is not always.
[Device Reviews and Information] addisj:
I have found a few issues with mine other than GPS. I find the brightness is rubbish outside on a sunny day - you can barely see the screen. I wonder if AMOLED would have been a better option.

Also, every now and then when I take it out of my pocket and unlock the screen the display goes mental and all my apps open etc. I then have to turn the screen off and wipe it with my t-shirt and turn back on in order to use it.

I kinda regret my purchase. I have gone back to my S5 for now. Its nice to be able to use Google maps again and be able to view the screen in all light conditions.
[Device Reviews and Information] dunn0w:
You can fix the brightness by going to screen use Miravision. The you can customize the screen. Its sunny now and i can see everything on my screen.

The phone going mental has somerhing to do with heat i think.
[Device Reviews and Information] addisj:
Ah cool will try Miravision thanks for the tip.
[Device Reviews and Information] Shtozo:
This phone is garbage. If you need a phone for its look ok it look nice, but if you want a functional phone this is not for you. Many issues, gps forget about it, always inaccurate, 4g always disconnect, wifi slow even cellular network reception weak. Is there a hope that those issues can be fixed by an update? :confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] xecuttor:
Miravision doesn't help much on brightness but just pump up the brightness while leaving auto adjust on. It helped me a lot.
[Device Reviews and Information] addisj:
Will try that. Right now mine is powered off and in my draw. I won't bother using it again until a GPS fix is implement. Sorry I should of said 'If' :confused:
[Device Reviews and Information] Dagris:
I can't play Pokemon Go on this phone :crying: !
