    2. Well, sorry, but I did not use this one, since found another firmware version faster. It included Market apps and root. Don't ask where from did I get it, since flashing procedure was a bit difficult and I would not like explain or to translate it, as it was in russian.

      I highly appreciate your help.

  5. Thank you very much for your review.



    I a debating switching phones. Now have a gsmart 1345. Had to send it back twice. Battery life and processor speed are way below expectations. Before this I had a HTC Desire (first version).


    Choice between: Zope ZP100, Lenovo A750 and ZTE U960.
    The Zope ZP100 looks nice and seems to have a good screen, but is small brand.
    The A 750 is the uglier of the bunch, but seems to perform.
    The ZTE has dual active, but is expensive.

    You have tested the lenovo and the zope. If you compare the two, what would be your advice? Do you expect the ZTE as well?

    The first two seem to have a chipset build for dual sim. Not sure about the third.



    This video clearly has the lenovo as a speed winner.

    1. Sorry, I don't, but it's the same rooting procedure like this one:

      http://colonelzap.blogspot.de/2012/04/zopo-zp100-rooting-and-market-fix.html

      But you'll have to use these files:

  7. Hi,

    I'm wondering if it's possible to install (after rooting) a custom ROM like Cyanogen?

    Thanks!

  8. Hi,

    First of all thank you so much for posting these, this blog is really helpful:)

    I was thinking of buying one of these MTK6575-based phones and I short-listed this (Lenovo A750) and Zopo ZP100, I've heard that Zopo's screen is much better, not to mention the higher resolution but has a bad GPS receiver.

    So, I'd like to ask you how does the A750's screen (resolution aside, the like clarity, colors and overall quality) compares to Zopo's? Also how's A750's GPS compared to Zopo's?

    Thank you!

  9. Hi :-)

    I'm sorry but I had the A750 only for a couple of days and didn't do much with it. Of course the ZP100 screen looks better but it's hard for me to compare them not having the A750 here. GPS seems to be better on the A750, so far I've never heard anyone complainig but I did hear some complains about the GPS on the ZP100.

  10. Hi again,

    Thanks so much for answering! I think I'd go with the A750 because it wouldn't be a big issue for me even if its screen happens to be not as good.

    Also, it wouldn't look cheap with a known (Lenovo) logo on it;-)

  11. Hi All,

    Anyone heared about this phone MTK6573 ANDROID 4.0 HD2 T8585 3G PHONE?

    Please assist in getting the required files for getting my MTK6573 to be upgraded to ICS.

  12. Hi All,
    What about the standby and talking time? I read that the Lenovo A750 has a standby time of 15 days and a talking time over the 14 hours at least on the paper. It seems to me very good (maybe too much :-) If you hold such phone, can you confirm that?
    Do you know other phone who have also a good autonomy?
    Thank you
