[Preview] Zopo Z810 Coming Soon!

[GizBeat]

I've always liked the Zopo line. While I think they've bungled a few things here and there feature wise, they are a class act in the customer service and quality control departments when comparing them to most China phone retailers.



First up is the Zopo ZP810. Somewhat sub-par compared to the other first release quad cores. The rear camera is 8MP and the front is 2.0. While mega-pixel wise the rear camera is a lagging behind some of the competition, this is not something I personally concern myself with. Unless you're printing full page prints or making huge crops it's inconsequential the difference between 8 and 13. In fact, I usually shoot at 3mp or even less at 720p.



The worrying spec here is the 4GB ROM. This isn't a deal killer, but it's surprising they're not matching the industry standard of 8GB ROM.



The LCD is a perfect-sized 5.0", 720p, IPS, 16m colors.

Battery is relatively standard-sized 2000mA. The thickness is slim profile at 139.7×72×8.0mm



The looks are relatively spartan and standard. Nothing that sets it apart, but the edges are thankfully not too rounded, which gives it a decent shape.



A nice feature is the WCDMA 850 band, which will make 3G in the Americas accessible.



The price is $260+Shipping.

All-in-all I think this is an option to be considered if you don't mind paying a little extra for the quality control and customer service aspect of Zopo. Zopo is slightly more "western-friendly" as well compared to China brands.



Though you get slightly less with the smaller ROM size, it's still worth a good look. The main competition here would be the THL W8, which currently only has white for sale.
