[Review] MT6592 THL T200 - Bazabaza - 2014-01-26
I received the ThL T200 a few days ago and I have been using it as my main phone.The T200 is a pleasure to use. It has a six inch screen and coming from my previous cubot A6589 (5.7 inch) it does seem much bigger in the hand. however I did own a N9776 and of course I could be getting used to big phones. i'm getting on a bit in years, and I find that smaller screens seem too small for me without my reading glasses!
The design of the T200 follows a common design format for Chinese phones with its black or white back cover and chrome trim. The left and right boarder is about 3 mm wide with the usual wider top and bottom boarders.Ear phone jack and micro USB is unusually set into the top edge, In most phones the bottom border contains the home button etc, but the T200 follows a tablet layout with soft keys taking up the bottom of the screen. You can hide it though so you can free up real estate on the main screen.Power button is on the left with the volume rocker on the right of the phone.The top border contains the sensors as usual with a small red LED notification light which illuminates on messages, missed calls etc and when requiring or when being charged. changing to green when sufficient battery power is there .Like the T100S when the display is off the display blends with surrounding bezels.
The display is a very good 1930 x 1080 full HD resolution. Colour seems good as is brightness of the display. Like the T100S it has a density of 441 pixels per inch, so the screen is sharp and clear. Its not the best Ive seen but at this price it seems a bargin.
The MTK6592 is an octo-core A7 at 1.7 Ghz which certainly moves along at a good pace. I got over 27000 on Antutu although with the recent issues with manufacturers either doctoring read outs or making the OS recognise when Antutu is running, this might be a little misleading but it is certainly in line with other scores Ive seen out there.
For Epic Citadel, the T200 consistently managed 41.8 frames per second (fps) on the High Quality setting. its also quite good considering the GPU is the Mali-450 which isn't the best out there but again I feel one has to take into account the price difference.
I haven't tested the CPU yet
The battery is a 2700mAh which for me has given about 1 day 12 hours of normal use (WIFI and data continuously on, phones, bit of film watching and games)so far although it might need some more bedding in. Like the T100S it has a option to limit CPU activity to lengthen battery life. tried both (one charge with it on and one off) and it doesn't seem to make much difference.
2GB RAM + 32GB ROM (translates as 5.77GB internal storage and 22.07GB phone storage
The camera is a 13 mp back camera and the front is 8 mp. Its good but I have seen better, but again you get what you pay for and for general use both cameras are more than adequate.
The phone has OTG which works straight out of the box mounting the drive instantaneously. It also has NFC I haven;t tested this but if it is like its twin the T100S then it should work well.
Overall then the THL T200 is a very good phone in my opinion for the price, if you like a larger screen, if not then the T100S might be the one for you. It has its weak points but considering the price differential I feel its worthy of consideration.

You said it has a 2700mAh battery. Is that the stock battery or did you get a larger one? I only ask because I thought it came with only a 2500.

Yes my mistake should have read 2500

Not a problem just wanted to make sure. It sounds like the battery does pretty well considering its fairly small for a 6" 1080p phone. I have to admit it was the one and only thing that turned me off of this phone but it sounds like you are very impressed with the phone. Would you recommend it or would you suggest waiting to see what comes out in the next month or 2?
Thanks for the good review. We need more of those on the forums.

I can only say that I like it and it works. I had a Cubot A6589 and it had little niggles, like the GPS was slooooow. It kept loosing the SD card for some strange reason I was unable to fathom. It rooted easily enough and I installed a custom recovery. As to waiting... the grass is always greener...so you wait and get a phone in two months then another comes along. if you can wait then wait...the 6592 processor was rated to 2 Ghz so these will probably out soon.

Thanks,
GPS much the best I've experienced in a chinese phone in the UK It actually picks up a signal indoors and locks with a few seconds. Its comparable with my nexus 7 (2013).
