it has Krait cores; presumably even better than Cortex A9. The kind you find in high end stuff like the HTC One.
Hard to say how well it performs in practice compared to an MTK such as the Thl w100, though. I'd say the MTK is the safe choice.
On the other hand that Haier's CPU has been used in Western phones like the HTC One S, so you can *theoretically* expect a consistency of performance like that of a Western phone. I find that mtk6589 phones often skip a bit in activities that shouldn't tax the system so much. My current MTK6589T phone, for example, can't run the standard android launcher well. It's easily fixed by installing apex, but it's an example of imperfect consistency of the performance.

Since the MTK6589's have trouble with their GPS (until you install the update), I think I'll go for the Haier - plus it has gorilla glass, it's waterproof and dustproof. Is it just me, or is it super cheap for all the things it can do? Am I missing something? Also, is there a higher capacity battery somewhere, and where did you order from? I'd like to ship it to Iran, where I found some websites have free worldwide shipping. But I might ship it to the US if it comes down to it. Thx
