[Review] iNew V3A MTK 6592 - AnTuTu Benchmark

[nered]

hi, I got this phone three days ago. I am very satisfied. I feared most for the battery, but it's not as bad as talking. I do not play games but wi fi is running all the time, GPS, calls, messages and battery hold all day. phone does not support NFC.

You must be very excited to have a swanky new phone to play with - I'm happy for you. I would advise you to buy a power bank before the battery life becomes a bother.

Your phone has a very capable SoC - once you start using power-hungry apps more often, you will realize how short a time the new battery can actually last.

it is very nice phone. everything works perfectly.
power bank is on way

I'm glad to hear that you are having fun with your new phone. Please don't forget to share your experiences with it - I wanted to buy it but decided to go with another because of the battery.

Hey guys!

Just reporting in my "user experience" after having the phone now for more than a month, while comparing it to my Fraternal Twin Zees.

Battery life. Surprisingly better than my Xperia Z (2050 mah battery) and about the same as my Lenovo Vibe Z (3000mAh battery).

Screen Display Quality. Again, better than my two Zee's. even if the twins both have 1080P displays. the IPS +OGS does wonders to viewing angles and color saturation, IMHO.

Screen Scratch Protection (excellent!). I don't use covers nor do i use screen protectors. why cover such a sexy phone? (same as my two Zee's, i don't cover them for the same reason. My XZ though is the worst when it comes to scratch protection.)

Easy to Clean and Maintain? V3+ > VZ > XZ . Sadly, even if its waterproof and dust proof, the Xperia Z doesn't repel dirt and prints. Just a quick wipe and the V3+ look new again.


Performance (20000 Antutu average). Meh.... my two year old XZ does 26000 antutu without breaking a sweat while my Vibe does 35000 points average. BUT, with the APPS i use, i don't see any difference.

Heat buildup. . While my XZ and VibeZ get real HOT (60 degC+) after heavy (1 hr+) 3d Gaming Use. The V3+ plus asks "What Heat?" ;-) I Actually prefer to use the V3+ in gaming since i can't even touch the VZ screen due to how hot it can get.

Internet Speed. in order of best to good... XZ > V3+ > VZ

Camera. depends on lighting conditions. V3+ is great with normal to bright light environments. but for the dark i prefer the Twin Zees.


Sound. in order of best to good... XZ > VZ > V3+. Although Louder than the Twins, the V3+ has something wrong with Bluetooth Speaker sound + Music. there's a hiss and crackle (digital distortion) to the mid to high frequencies. really annoying.

NFC. XZ has it, VZ doesnt. I've been doing some research and Yes, the V3+ is capable of NFC, but i think we need to change the back cover to that of the older V3, which has the NFC antenna. And, then do a bit of a mod to the pins near the camera lens.

GPS Lock. About the same as my XZ and better than my VZ.

WiFi reception. XZ > V3+ > VZ

Value for Money. V3 Plus Hands Down. (Got my XZ for $600 2yrs ago, my VZ for $500 2014).
And who care if it's made in China? my Original Sony Xperia Z has "Made in China" printed at the bottom of the unit. :-D
