Everything comes from China products reviews site purchased in China
I was kind of tired of my phone ZTE V880, that had low memory and small screen. I was also looking for a new phone with the android ICS, the ice cream sandwich.
After much searching, I found the best option in Release Zopo ZP-500, a phone with good price, approximately US $ 180, very well reviewed among buyers.
The ZP-Zopo 500 follows the line of the Apple until the box design, that is really small, just a little bigger than the phone. That's pretty cool not to draw attention during transportation of the product to your home.
In the pictures I took there is a protective film that generates these bubbles on the screen. I prefer to use it anyway, to avoid scratches or damage with the use.
Go to specifications: This is a cell phone with MTK CPU 1 GHz MT6575, 512MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory. I put an 8 GB memory card and it totals 12 GB of memory. Good for making many videos with the camera from 5Mpixels with flash.
The 1300mAh battery lasts about 2 days, or just 1 If using WiFi or 3 g is very often. Oh! I forgot to include the basic specifications: WiFi, 3G (WCDMA AND HSDPA), Bluetooth and GPS.
Another cool feature is the support for two SIM cards. I put the operators Vivo and Tim, but would work with any other since the phone is Quadband. On the main screen shows two bars of signal strength, one green and one Orange. In the photo below are docked the two SIM cards and microSD card.
Earlier accessories, for now, for this phone. I bought in the store of additional extended battery ZOPO 2000mAh, but they ended up sending me another 1300mAh! I complained and received money back.
Here I leave a tip: the phone LG Optimus LS696 Elite has size very close to ZP500, IE, the silicone covers this phone will serve also to this zopo. Only the position of the speaker is different.
For those who like a I'm serious there is a hidden menu parameters if you type *#*#3646633#*#* in the Dialer. I managed to increase the speaker volume in some 20%. Not recommend move much before we had a safest way to reinstall Android.
As the phone is cheap for the specifications, There is already a community forming to develop new custom versions of Android. Looks like there is already support for CWM recovery, as we see in the picture below.
I recorded a video showing ZOPO ZP-500 using software iLauncher as home screen. The phone is very fast, with the face of the iPhone and with all the advantages of Android, including the low price.
