I have almost this phone for 10 days. Nung one day palang nya. May napansin na akong di ok sa kanya, hindi accurate yung keyboard nya pati yung battery bilis lang malowbat. kaya binalik ko. apat na unit ang pinalit palit. dahil pati yung ibang unit may defect. Pati tong pinalit sa akin ganun parin walang pinag iba. Sayang ang 4K ko hindi ako convinced sa performance.

have this phone for almost a week and cant say if its a good phone or not because..

– performance wise its fast no question about it just keep your apps updated.
– battery last long even with wifi and bluetooth both turned on.(i always use bluetooth headset the whole day)
just keep in mind that don’t use battery hogging apps it will really deplete the battery fast.
– while using bluetooth and wifi at the same time. the wifi connection suddenly drops. not sure if this happens to others.
– 13mp main camera was a bit weird sometimes tama ang color reproduction and sometimes mali . dont know if its because the software it use or the camera hardware it self. but hey they said that its using sony exmor rs maybe =).
– 8mp bsi camera ….. wag umasa lalo na pag madilim swear.
– it has a freaking chinese recovery haha..
– im not sure if this happen to you guys but after running a certain benchmark app viola shut of si intense power turned it back on after the firefly logo and android black screen..SOLUTION put it to chinese test mode or recovery mode not sure what it is coz its chinese.. VOLUME UP + POWER try and try until ma access ang factory test mode/recovery mode then click VOLUME again to access the factory test run all the test then reboot phone LOWER CHINESE WORD yung option. phone will wipe all user data and problem fixed,
– it charge super slow while using the provided charger.. try to use different charger maybe samsung or sony charge see if it charge faster.

cpu that it use hndi ko alam kasi it said SC8830 if you use a phone identifier app but if you look it up on its build.prop it says SC7731 ,, cheers!!! for the manufacturer if this phone pinasakit niyo ulo ko..

4K price tag for this phone SULIT if average user ka lang..
still figuring a way to compile custom rom for it..

Bumili ako nito nung March 19, pwede na rin kaso nga medyo mabigat sya ok nmn ang response ng phone medyo di nga lang ganun katagal ang battery for 5000mAh. So far 4k nmn saka may freebies pa san k pa.

I bought this intense power last night at waltermart.
As per my observation, matagal yung battery nya.
Cons:
* Medyo mabigat yung phone
* Camera is not so good especially in low light
* Pag nag capture mejo mabagal, it takes 2-3sec. at pag sa madilim na lugar may puti sa gilid yung picture and blurred
* Yung brightness nya biglang dumidilim then afterwards liliwanag naman

Pros:
* Mabilis mag connect sa wifi
* mabilis yung internet
* not laggy on games
* more gestures to open and unlock the screen
* removable and long lasting battery
* konti lang yung built in apps
* may freebies like basic phone,screen protector,tempered glass, globe/tm sim

All in all for the price of 3999, sulit na!

Mararamdaman mo naman, kaso for a 5000mAH battery, medyo weak yung processing nya nang charge (maraming nasasayang).

Pero again, despite my cons, this phone is VERY MUCH a catch at the said price point (For Now). Still the most powerful phone at the said price range.

Sayang naman kundi smooth ang mga simpleng games like coc and candy crush based on JUSTMEHERE’s observations. Big screens kasi is for media (and gaming) consumption. But for P4000, magrereklamo ka pa ba? Review pls.

5000mah pero ang software to hardware optimization ay parang 2500mah? Firefly should give yugatech a review post production unit para matesting at hindi madenggoy ang mga tao. 4k for that spec is too good to be true.

Bought one yesterday 13 Mar sa SM Muntinlupa, and to answer some of the questions here:

Removable Battery? Yes

Dual Sim? Yes (Pero unlike the info on the box na 1 Micro and 1 Standard, nope both are micro)

OTG Capable? Nope, tried it several times and failed.

Expandable Storage? Yes (Tried my 64GB SD Card but it won’t read it immediately, but it does read it, while my 32GB card has no problem being identified — same speed lang yung 2)

Freebies:

1 Screen Protector (Installed)
1 TG (Can be installed on the 8th day after the 7 day replacement period)
1 basic Phone
1 Jelly case

Antutu: 20K

Cons:

• This phone is heavy and bulky but fits the pocket (pants not skinny jeans :D )
• The phone is fluid for general use but not for games (Even CoC and Candy Crush is a bit laggy)
• Loudspeaker is a softspeaker (putting headphones on is a different story, the sound level and clarity is a very much welcome)
• Takes 0.5 to 2 seconds to take a picture. HDR is far from looking good.
• There is a gap on the screen, contrary to the OGS claim.
Update: I mentioned that the battery endurance is amongst the pro last time but apparently it’s not. The battery can last over a day but for 5000mAH, I expected longer. My Note 5 can last almost the same number of hours.

Pros:

1. The available Gestures to open the screen/unlock the phone is a welcome addition (but a bit too much and there is no option to turn off some of them).
2. Already at Android 5.1
3. very minimal to almost no bloatware (except for the Firefly Mobile app that doesn’t work), even Google Apps are not present (which I personally like), leaving 12GB+ available space.
In between
• Picture and Video quality specs is decent but there are tons of other phones which has better output.
• The unit design

I actually had it replaced cause I thought the unit itself was damaged. Eh yung rineplace nila is absolutely WORSE. ngayon not only does my battery drain even faster, pucha nagloloko rin audio!

Romy · 10 years ago

I bought this phone almost a week ago and so far I am satisfied with it. With normal usage, the battery lasts for 2 days comparing to my previous phone which lasts 1 day. With 16gb internal storage upgradable to 128gb via micro sd, 2 gig ram, quadcore, 720p resolution and comes with an extra phone, tempered glass and silicone case all for four thousand bucks, I can say that this is a good buy for me. I just hope it is durable enough to last at least a year or two.

Lol d ka nakikinig sa mga payo pag naibigay na syo ung unit.. Syempre pag bago yan mabilis talga yan ma drain first use since out of the stock eh.. Malamnf ganun talaga resulta.. I rerecharge mo sya then dun mo na mkikita kung gaano tlaga katagal ma lwbat.. Tsk tsk
