Nihaooo i'am Greg Le Geek or GLG for buddies and you're welcome for this new JT GEEK test
Today with the eagerly awaited Zopo ZP998 octacores an awsome and classy full HD phone!
When it's already good to see the product's pics...Watching them in a video is better
So unbridle yourself and discover all our high-tech test live from Shenzhen in China.
The presentation and all the explanations, right after our openning theme video with Pangeek!
Today oh yes today! finally he's here the Divine Christ Child it has arrived The ZOPO ZP998 and today..
You will get starved with tests! cuz you saw that today you've had already 2 of them.
Tonight we will test the THL T200. Anyway i'll have to do them all in the day
With the JTGEEK it's like this :)
((...so today with redbull...nahh redbull it's for sportsmen!
It's lame! but in contrary redbull ***! that's some real geek drink! ))
Ok let's go with this ZOPO ZP998 and his design that is showing remarquables differences,
see how beautifull it is with his nice frame. Let's open it.
So the back cover finitions are different, it really feels like flaping cracking plastic
So the IMEI starts with 35 and we are with a double sim card device. first one is normal SIM
and second is Micro SIM. Also a Micro SD card slot up to 64GB.
2 "big" Speakers that should give a pretty nice sound. This phone is also NFC.
The battery is 2400Mah...good point for a 5.5 Inches screen.
The back cover with a fake leather style. A bit like Samsung did already..
It's like the fake golden finitions on some apple device,
everyone was saying :"yeaaa it's rubbish" then every constructor did it.
and same story with the leather back design..so i would say why not for zopo!
OK let's continue with the left side with the + and - volume button.
On the right side the power button and also a direct button for the camera, which is fairly not too shabby!
On top, a 3.5 jack. At the bottom a microphone which is always good for a telephone and a micro USB conector.
To the back you'll find a 14.2 mega pixel camera with a flash led, and in front a 5 mega pixel camera.
The backlit keys are here with back force vibration. Only one battery delivered in the box with 2400 mAh.
The IME numbers made for export so they are starting with 35.
Now the enginneer menu...
So here's the new thing that came with all the phone with the new octacores chipset, well for the majority of them.
It's that all the frequencies are ticked.
Zopo don't break with this wave regarding their ambition and wishes to join the European Market.
The frequencies: 800, 900, 1200 MHz will be originaly ticked.
And so it will be compatible with France and the whole Europe countries without any problem!
This is like on some Lenovo phone on which there's never any problem either!
Ok first part is done. Now none of our test would be complete without...
Our Rabbit! Our Master Antutu which will give us the score of this beast!..26743 ! That's not icky!
All those octocores are definitely not icky...We really have some phones that now Roxx ^^!
(reading the ANTUTU)
Zopo 998, Android 4.2, MTK6592 (8cores), Mali 450 offcourse, resolution of the screen is 1920x1080.
Camera 14 Mpx... The RAM, ROM and SD card..2GB RAM , 16 GB ROM, and SD card available until 64GB.
CPU MTK6592 with 8x 1,7GB Screen 480 dpi, front camera 8Mpx.
Now we will do a CPU TEST with the 2014 version.
So here we see the CPU at work. let's do some assessment....1563 and then the app crashed.
lol so ok you've seen the score and in the forum some people are keeping a tab up to date to compare those scores.
ok it's the end of the second part of the test So let's welcome our second extraordinairy character...
Maître Pouce! (Master Inch) AKA the man with a the lock!
The screen is 5,5 Inch. The size of the phone : 151.4mm*76.1mm*9.1mm so like the majority of smartphone now
it's thickness is under 1cm.
We thank Maître Pouce for his show extraodinaire! Always appreciated by his own fan club !
let's continue...i wanted to look at this camera button..ok we'll see that later.
Ok so now the RAM, the ROM and SD card verification from the setting menu :
For the RAM we are at 480 Mo used and 1.4Go free so we really are on a 2GB RAM phone
The phone storage now : there's 9.55GB available on the internal SDcard + 2GB for your apps so we are on a 2+16GB ROM phone.
with also the SDCARD that you can add up to 64 GB ! Classy!
Now the technics with Z-device :
The accelerometer works so that's done. Compass is working good, it's alive. Then the OTG test with the external card reader:
The light turns on and the external device is to see in the menu so the phone is OTG.
This phone as also the advantage to be NFC. ((Well internet made me doubt because everyone
is talkign about the ZP980+ that was NFC...So was i abit dumbo on this and missed the NFC?
Well i checked on our ZP980+ and no they don't have NFC But ours were version 1+32 so it's wether Zopo who sold
those versions fast to everyone in order to start a new version... some kind of ZP980+ prime with prolly the NFC then.
But even on internet and American site there's no trace about NFC as it's reserved for now to this ZP998 which
will become the flagship of the brand. The top of the Top. La crême de la crême! ))
The android version is 4.2. True that they didn't put the 4.3 version.And it's with the new Zopo overlay.
It's hard for me but we get use to it. it's like for ugly women ...after a while you find them attractive and charming.
The playstore is here, GMAIL , youtube and twitter all the things that doesn't work in china.
So you can see that it's a phone dedicated for export. There's also the Themes app, the Upgrade app, whatsapp.
And the JT GEEK App that launch perfectly!
With all the JTGEEK Universe, the news from the blog , the shops , the youtube channel etc.. and the babes!
You can download it form the google playstore by simply typing JT GEEK APP on google
Then now the music and sound with the two small speakers behind. Here we see the discret grid here at the bottom back.
So well the sound is not better and not worse than other. We have some kind of gnawing medium, with alot of high tones
and it's still cruely lacking of bass... In a word It's still a telephone with a telephone sound!
you can't expect for miracle! but with headphones then you'll get a pure nice sound experience.
Next the screen.. with a Full HD video 1920x1080
The blacks on bottom and top are very deep. This screen is full HD and it is very beautifull.
With zopo there's no more problem with this anymore. Maybe on some other device we had a bit more luminosity.
The screen is IPS 180 degree with no white veil at all . The screen is just magnifique!
Now the camera test for photo and video. The camera with 14 Mpx... let's do a pic...
In the dark it's not so fanstactic ..let's try with the light on
oh yeh now with a good made autofocus you can see the difference!
((Batman as rejoined the collection of those chinese Lego brand.
it's not real Lego, it's a chinese mark with a different name... :))
First we thought the photo would be yellow but in the end they are very fine definition, clear colors,
with good Whites Balance and good contrasts. The front cam, here we are with 8Mpx.
Now you'll see two videos, one made indoor and the other outdoor from the balcony.
On the Blog there will be other pictures also, so you can figure out yourself the quality of the pics.
The GPS, with Z-Device. It works good.
We had a first fix in 14 secondes as you can see on the screenshot. We'll do it again right now...don't move ^^
1..2..3..4..5...6..7..8...ok one green bar...(counting) Well i left a bit too late to the window..
Ok now it's done we made 36 sec knowing that i took my time :)
The GPS is very good, maybe be a bit less quality than the Glonass of the Mi3 but still very good.
Now let's compare the look with its challengers...
The iphone 5 lol..we'll stop this one from now on lol
More close to its range, the Galaxy S4 which as a smaller screen but reagarding the size and overall build
it's very close or at least in the same idea of dimensions.This mat frame gives really a very classy touch!
If we can compare with a Galaxy Note3 with an approximatively same screen size. 5.7 vs 5.5 inch
It's really close and the ZOPO is just a tiny bit smaller. So if you want to have a real clue about the size
Then just handle a N3.
Let's type JTGEEK in the browser.. while it's loading we can make the sum up of this test with the Pros and Cons.
The Pros :
The chipset MTK6592 with 8 x 1.7GHz octocores! The 5.5inches Full HD screen very good and very pretty!
We also liked the 2 GB RAM 16GB Rom and the Micro SD up to 64 GB.
The Flash led Camera at 14Mpx and the front cam with 8Mpx. OTG and NFC Compatibility. The Good GPS.
The battery of 2400mAh wich assure you to spend a full day on use.
We also liked the look with the back in fake black leather style very pleasant and the ultra classy black mat frame.
And finally we liked the price! 255€ - 5€ of loyalty pts. It's still abit expensive because it's just out now.
But hopefully the price will lower after the chinese new year ..5 to 10 € less. When the stock will increase.
About the question if Zopo will continue the 980 turbo? Apparently they told us that they would stop because
they upgrade all their device into 8 cores now. Like the 990 upgraded in a plus version already.
Once they resolved some minor issue about the ROM size they told us that they'll prolly upgrade all their
device with an Octocore chipset.
The Cons:
We can regret that they didn't give straight a 32 GB internal ROM... for now we're at 2+16GB.
Maybe it will come after the chinese new year, around the 15 february the time the firms starts again
and that they make some stock.
Also some might think the device is kind of big but it gives alot of comfort with the ghost touches and a good handle.
As a Conclusion it's a very nice quality smartphone! I would not be able to rate it with a mark because every
day i would give a mark of 16 or 17 out of 20 and the day after a new phone would come and oust it...etc etc
But it's very very good phone like usual now with ZOPO!
