BATTERY Review by 1244

Star

FEW THINGS INEW needs to improve on

1. Battery- more battery power needed to make inew a very good brand

2. More RAM, 3G RAM is already here and they need to catch from 1GM RAM

3.Waterproof- make inew products robust ,

4.Scratch resistant- more touch on their screens/technology required


5. LTE/ 4G should be standard now

Could be a bug Review by magic

Star

I have this phone for 4+ months now and it is working fine.
I noticed something that could be a bug, or not. I turned Quick boot option ON and after that when powering ON my phone, it will power up quickly and show the lock on the screen, but the touch screen will not respond. The only way to do anything is to take the batter out and put it back again. Telephone will then start and work normally. Until it is powered off. No matter how many times I powered on the phone with Quick boot option enabled, phone will boot, but I could not get touch screen to respond. Then I disabled Quick boot option and after that phone is back to normal and working fine again. Very good phone, just need better battery to be excellent. (Posted on 10/13/14)

Outstanding product Review by Qahramon

Star

I have bought this product a month ago (on August 2014) and it was delivered to my door during 20 days. The item was packed in a very safe box with a lot of cushion inside it. When I opened the phone, I was impressed with its quality, design, performance and etc. The guys from this company work so hard to be suitable to market, that they even put Russian video clips into my phone. In the end, I give to the product, shipment process and customer service the highest mark and strongly recommend this phone or the products of the company to anyone. (Posted on 9/16/14)

überraschend gut! Review by Stefan

Star

Das V3 hat meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Besitze es nun sein gut 6 Wochen. Batterie ist nicht grad der Hit. Für einen Tag reicht sie aber allemal und man kann ja gut eine zweite als Ersatz bestellen. Verarbeitungsqualität und Materialien sind auch erstaunlich gut. Nutze es auf dem Swisscom Netz. Für die CH-DE Tastatur musste ich einzig ein Zusatz-App installieren. LTE hat es keines, aber HSDPA ist ja schnell genug und ohne LTE wird wohl der Akku verbrauch etwas länger halten..
Es ist mir bis jetzt noch nicht runter gefallen. ich hoffe es geht nicht so leicht kaputt.

Hoffe nun nur noch, dass die Arbeitsbedingungen bei iNew Mobile in Ordnung sind. Dann könnte ich es mit richtig gutem Gewissen weiter empfehlen. (Posted on 9/14/14)

A smartphone without GPS Review by Vahagn

Star

From day 1 the GPS is not working on my phone. I contacted the company and they told me that it is a bug which will be corrected with the update that they are going to release "soon". That "soon" was about 2 months ago and I fear it will never arrive. In these days a smartphone without a GPS does not worth even the $180 that I have paid for my v3. (Posted on 8/9/14)

couldnt hurt to cut some corners Review by stefanmeyers

Star

I've had the phone for a week now and I've noticed three things that detract from an otherwise excellent phone.
The sharp corners on the device seem to dig into my hands while holding it horizontally.
The battery doesn't do a deep charge so right out of the box it has terrible battery life. Recommend juice defender or battery doctor to help.
Lastly, the soft buttons for home, options and return are very easy to graze while playing a game, typing horizontally or watching a video.

Otherwise this phone is great and I am very happy I made the switch from an iPhone. Now if only I could figure out how to root it.

Oh and this is probably because of my provider but I'm only able to make 2G work. (Posted on 7/26/14)

All Most the best phone I have ever owned. Review by DLR

Star

But, not quite. The battery life is an issue. However, I could live with that. I simply have started putting it on a charger half way through the day.

THE real issue is lack of updates, or even news of an update. KitKat has been out for months now. Still iNew has not let any of us know when or if they will have the new KK available for download.

Very poor communication. That has nothing to do with the phone itsself however. 4 G would have been nice but I can live without that was well.

I am very pleased with the phone and if asked for a recomendation, I would say " Yes, its worth the money, ONLY IF you do not have to have 4G and a battery that will last all day.

Good work on the V3 iNew. Keep up the good work. Please be a little more forth coming on with information on updates for the phone. (Posted on 7/3/14)

Great price/quality Review by Donal

Star

I have been fooling around with my INew for a few weeks now. I have to admit the camera on the phone is the best feature in the device; great pictures & videos. The wifi and 4G speeds are great and the image is also quite neat.

My only concerns are about the call quality; sometimes the sound just seems to be listenning to a very distant caller even with the phone at maximum; callers have reported my voice as breaking up in areas where my coverage was at max.

Also the Android version seems a bit buggy. I have not been able to download a newer version of the OS to fix these annoying bugs and I am waiting for a newer firmwere release.

problems Review by Mollie

Star

I received this phone as a gift and initially I was happy with it. The screen is very large, crystal clear display, good photos.

There were some problems,

-time and date settings didn't work, unless I connected it to my laptop.

-and the battery life is poor (but much the same as my iPhone 4s)

-after about a month of use the glue holding on the screen failed and the screen detached from the base. This caused the screen to pop out from the base, repeatedly, which led to the final problem. I had planned to return it to the manufacturer, until the final problem happened...

-I picked up the phone, the screen popped out, this over balanced the phone, causing it to fall, the screen cracked and some of the electronic links behind the screen detached.

this phone, after no more than 3 months of use, is now useless.

1a gerät und service Review by CTC

Star

habe das INEW v3 in weiß bestellt, mit zoll und porto, weniger als 180€ für den funktionsumfang hätte ich mindestens 150-200 euro drauf legen müssen um ein europäisches handy was ebenfalls in china gefertigt wird, zu bekommen.

bin mit dem gerät zufrieden!! service war auch sehr gut, hatten einigen schriftverkehr per email, weil es wegen der hohen nachfrage doch ein paar tage länger dauerte.

unbedingt die gratis sachen mitnehmen! die tasche ist nicht so hochwertig, aber besser eine haben, als keine haben und keine passende finden.

wäre bloß schön wenn bei jedem handy generell 2 akkus dabei wären!! (und man keines noch extra kaufen müsste)

trotzdem 5 sterne von mir!

Great camera Review by Peter

Star

This phone has a 'WOW' factor about it as soon as you turn the power on, the screen is so vivid and clear.

My wife has an iPhone 4s and when you put the two phones side by side with the same streaming news program running on them the difference is staggering.

The iPhone is very small and dingy compared to the V3 and the screen is much bigger than the 1" that it should be.

The camera and video are outstanding - if you can manage to rest the phone on something solid and take a macro shot of a small item like a coin the detail is remarkable.

For the money that it costs I don't think that you will find a better phone.

I will add that I live in Europe and the phones were "pulled" by the Customs in a random search and I was told that if I could not prove what was in the parcel (which ment produce an itemised bill not just a bank to bank transfer reciept which just showed the amount of money that had I sent to China) They said they would send it back (Ha - Ha)

I was lucky because I had paid by PayPal so the bill was itemised, and the phone did not end up in the obvious place.

Just be carefull how you pay for items from China

Top Spot for the Price Review by easystreet1

Star

Everybody buys a smart phone for a different reason and no smart phone is perfect for everyone, I am quite sure that somebody will write in soon and say that it's a great phone but I can't fry an egg on it.

This phone is perfect for me because I like the clear screen and the general brightness of it - my wife has an iPhone 4s which looks dingy against this phone.

It does everything that it says on the tin, but the one feature that it blows everything else out of the water with is the camera - if you can rest this phone on something solid and take a macro shot of a written document the result is amazing.

In my view this is the coolest phone on the market for the money. I love it. (Posted on 3/1/14)

Excellent phone let down by a few issues. Review by kankerot

The phone is gorgeous to hold and look at. Its 6.5mm thick at the edges but thicker in the centre around 8.3mm.

The phone build quality seems very good.

However the battery is very very poor, you will not get a days use out of it and there is an issue with the battery not being able to charge past 88% if plugged in and switched on.

The camera is good not brilliant.

Great phone but not perfect Review by losip

Star

I posted a review of this phone after having it for a week but my review never made it onto this site. Perhaps that was a good thing because I've changed my view with more prolonged use.

I bought this to replace my i2000 which has a smashed screen; I also wanted NFC functionality and I was finding the i2000 a little too heavy.

The V3 is light and slim (but the quoted 6.5mm is the THINNEST part of the case; the thickest is 8.5mm). It has a superb clear screen but good resolution. It works very well as a phone.

There has been much discussion about the battery life which is something I never had to think about with the i2000 with its two huge capacity batteries. Indeed, my first review was very critical having had the battery completely drain during what I considered normal use. However, this hasn't re-occurred and I'm now finding that it lasts through the day when used normally as a smart phone. iNew quote 1 to 2 days on standby but what's the point of having a smart phone if it's kept on standby?

The phone loses a star because it keeps on crashing and rebooting. I cannot see a pattern to this in terms of the apps running or the operation but it is a little irritating, happening on average about once a day. I don't know whether this is a fault with mine, or a feature. I have tried a factory reset but the behavior continues.

I understand that there's a firmware bug that prevents the NFC from working and I look forward to being able to correct this.

At one point I was thinking of returning the phone but I feel a bit happier now, so will keep it. (Posted on 1/25/14)

Nice phone but specs are a bit different from advertised Review by Shanos

Star

Got the phone today (30/12) and whilst it is indeed slim it is not 6.5mm all the way across the back it gets thicker as it goes across.
The length of the phone is also substantial (about 1cm longer than my S4) but this strangely the uninterrupted black borders top and bottom make the 5" screen appear to be bigger than the S4 when in use.
The camera in my unit shows 18mp, I checked it out using Android Hardware Info app and it confirms 18.2mp rear camera!
not sure if I have received a sample phone with a different camera sensor but I won't grumble lol.
All in its not a bad phone and may indeed replace my S4.
I have always sought to have the latest and greatest phones, but they have now reached a point where even this 'budget' handset is up to doing most jobs more than adequately (it is almost as fast on Antutu as the still none too shabby galaxy s3) and whilst the S4 great and is more powerful, I don't actually use my phones for playing many games and its proving to be overkill.
