Zopo mobiles will soon launch the Zopo 810, Zopo 910 and Zopo 950+ quad core handsets in the Indian market. Pre-booking will start from 24th February with deliveries from 15th March onwards.
UPDATE: Shipping free for 5 inch and 5.3 inch Zopo Quadcore. Also a New Zopo 5.7 inch Phablet on Nvidia Tegra 3 Quadcore processor with 32 MP camera and 5 MP front camera for India market (Coming in May).
The Zopo 810 sports a 5 inch screen and is priced at Rs. 12,999 with free shipping. The specifications are similar to Micromax A116 Canvas HD. Though the price difference is not much between Zopo 810 and Micromax A116, it will all depend on the built quality and after sales support.
The Zopo 910 on the other hand is with the same specifications as on the Zopo Leader, but with a quad core processor. The price is really good at 13,888 with free shipping. In fact the 910 with a bigger screen could compete well with the A116.
The Zopo 950+ comes with a 5.7 inch screen with features similar to Phablet 950 but with quad core processor. This handset is priced at Rs. 15,999 + shipping.
These handsets will start shipping from 15th March 2013. All of these models will run in the Android Jelly bean 4.1 OS. These handsets will also get the Android 4.2 upgrade in April – an advantage.
Zopo will also be introducing a 4.5 inches Quadcore at 7000 INR in March.

Price cut off for the dual cores of ZOPO ….!
Gogi,
Thanks a ton for your updates. I want your opinions on some points.
How would you compare Zopo 950+ with the Umi X2? Considering that the X2 has been confirmed at Rs. 14000, does 950+ not seem overpriced at Rs. 16599 (with shipping)? What is your opinion on the build quality of Zopo and Umi phones?
I have checked Zopo leader done a review on that, the built quality is really good. I have not yet checked the UMI handsets but they said its similar built like Zopo. Let me check when I get a review unit.
Thanks. But no comment on the prices? Do you think 950+ is a bit overpriced? The X2, a better phone on paper (albeit with a smaller screen), is available for less!
Chandan the prices will fall for dual core handsets, wait for march 15th.
Thanks for the advice. 🙂
Guys big disappointment ….Umi X2 Rs: 19,999/- INR
no one is gonna buy for this price !!
chech their umimobile facebook page..
r u sure coz this phone was my last hope
GOGI , firstly my compliments to you on keeping us all posted on the latest developments of the mobile world. it is becos if ur reviews that i bought my first android ie. MMX CANVAS 2.
But what i want to ask you is that can you recommend me a good 4.5inch screen android phone as good or better than canvas 2 bcos at times even u wud agree that a 5inch screen phone such as canvas 2 becomes too bulky n cumbersome for daily practical usage
4.5 inch there are phones like Xolo A700, A800 and some more being launched but those are dual core.
Gogi plz clear on thing…which is a superior performer…Tegra 3 or MT6589 ?
Always Tegra 3, and qualcom s4 and exnocys are high end quad core chipset and mtk 6589 is cheap quality chipset for low budjet phone in all benchmarks quad core grade quadernt antutu and nenamark mtk 6589 position is last. Above all cheapset used in primium phones like htc,sony, samsung.mtk used by chinese companies and copy paste company like mmx for cost cutting.
If zopos price is going to more or less equal to Samsung. I would always choose samsung. They dont have their service center list up. Link takes you to the same page. Another idea instead of selling would be selling through service centers, book the handset there, get it from there in 2,3 days with proper bill and warranty. You can check the set and you know where the service is there. Total peace of mind.
zopo always costly 3k to 4k extra so this tegra3 powerd one easily cross 20k which simply rejected for over price that too if at all its ready for sale in this year 😀
Hi gogi iam a big fan of u ,
Can you tell which brand is better between ZOPO and gionee
Is it possible to review Gionee CTRL V3.
It has got 4.3 inches IPS screen with gorilla glass.
I asked the Retailer about the Price , he said its about Rs 8300
Also is it possible to review Dream D1 when its launched ..
It is mentioned has ‘coming soon’ in Indian website, but its specification is available in gionee worldwide website
I had called the service center through its service list in website and they assured me the quality of the phone would be very good since its a OEM
.
All there customer care lines are already active even before official launch and
I personally feel this is the best maintained website among other Chinese brands
..
They even have a brand introduction video for India
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLRZRXPslAY
Are they not reducing the prices of dual core models?
Gogi,
I am facing peculiar problem with regards to battery of my Zopo ZP950.
For past few days battery drops pretty fast.Yesterday night when it was 15% i rebooted the phone and to my surprise after reboot battery was 29%.Since then battery standby has improved a lot.Moreover if i am charging phone charging % is different.if i shut down charging battery % drops significantly.What this issue can it be battery calibration or as i suspect buggy battery.
Battery calibration issue. Charger to 100% then restart the phone if it drops charge again for some more time. Also make sure to re-charge only after it drops to 15% or below.
Thanks.How many days does it take to fix battery calibration issue.I am using this phone from past 23 days.
Follow the process and you should see the improvement after 4 to 5 full cycle (charge – discharge).
I am doing charging only when message shows battery has dropped to below 15%.however i will try rebooting phone after charging and will monitor if battery % drops.I if drops i will again charge and will update you after 5 days.
Hi gaurav, plz suggest me should I go for zopo 950 or not?
Yes u can.Zopo is bit costly as compared to MMX;kArbonn but built squaw is far superior.
from where can i buy one
zopomobiles.in
Hai could gogi confirm the zopo tegra 3 handset and what woul the approximate price be and would we end up with another pixel on pixel 32 mp camera like the HTC One or Nokia 808???
No idea yet, they have just disclosed the handset with tegra 3.
Gogi, they have announced the price range for Tegra 3 @ 300-350$ on their FB page.
So for about 15000 we get a chipset that powers the one x with a 32 mp camera???how cool is that?
a 116 HD and s1 titanium and other pieces of shit mite be dumped in to the near by sea for this……http://tech2auto.in/iocean-x7-young-a-5-inch-full-hd-phablet-could-be-priced-rs-8500/
raj mmx knows but using it to bluff the indians with a116 by name Q’core without the full strenths of 6589 like dual active,13mp etc. remember all the speed comes from 1gb ram.
if u observe the china market, all Q’core r still at announced stage only. the SALE is not started yet expect CUBOT. so whatever india released r after china only. i mean they give 1st LOT to china then india. so after 2months only we can expect here “on stock” always.
Watch there face book page for more information.
Ab micromax ki vaat lagni pakki hai aska vakt aa gaya hai boriya bister sametne ka vakt aa jaya hai kyo ki zopo open 741 service station in different state .now people get high quality models lower price and support service centers now who are going wt copy paste company.now looking like zopo is reliable and trustworthy company.
give us the link man. searching all over could not find it.
It’s still too much time for May. I personally think that there is no point in looking forward to this. May be MMX will bring it much earlier than May.
So jealous of canvas hd’s success, that they(jhopoo) announced it so early with big mouths(i’m gigling a lot). Instead of announcing a soon-to-be-outdated tegra and ?mp camera, they should first setup thier service centers or be ready to dustoff from India.
Hi everyone latest news – Zopo 5.7 inch Phablet with Nvidia Tegra 3 Quadcore processor with 32 MP camera and 5 MP front camera for India market, launching in May.
Thats makes sensotion of this year and answer to umi x2 what is prize?
Indeed a great news……hope it comes with HD or Full HD screen (which is my primary requirement)!!!

Hey Gogi, Did You Heard, Zopo made announcement of Zopo 5.7 Inch Phablet with NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core processor coming in May
Specs: 32 MP Camera Back/5 MP Camera Front
1.6 GZ Quadcore Processor
3D Stereo Gaming
32 Mp Camera Is it Possible ?
Yes I just got the mail its confirmed.
But,Gogi, ZTE is planning with Tegra 4
http://www.gizchina.com/2013/02/21/zte-to-produce-first-tegra-4-smartphones-later-this-year/
why then they are planning with old version? Is it due to cost reduction only?
Thats Mean Tegra 3 is a powerfull processor which can handle 32Mp camera Resolution
the present trend is 2gb ram with 13mp camera…this is clearly understood if you read/observe the Android mobile market, gud example is gizchina.com, every alternate day some xyz mobile releases with 2gb ram in the chinese android phone market!…zopo shud have surprised with the same but did a mistake!

Gogi,
Plz visit the site Umimobiles.in.. Umi ka toh dukan band ho gya? Was this was a fake site? Ab Umi ka ummid choor do logo go 4 Iocean7 or Jiayu G4..!
Its still there I think they have 2 domains Umimobiles and Umimobile.
Hello Gogi,
This is a news from a local Iball Distributor that they have a new IBALL andi phone in the pipeline ,Infact he told me that phone is with the IBall IT team for testing and they will be launching it by next week. This device is called as IBALL ANDI 5L and expected to sport a Quadcore….. Can u please confirm it…
No word on it but will a watch on it, thanks.
Kiran,
Its already out. Though the specs are not as great.

Thanks Kunal , so it seems that i will have to wait longer to get my hands on a quadcore …
Nothing is attractive JUNI BOTTLE ME NAYI SARAAB only CPU & GPU IS CHANGED nothing change in camera,inbuilt memory,lcd,ram onther crap similar looks like canvas hd except one change in zp 910,zp 950+ coming wt magnetic sensor and jelly bean os i think isonic,jiyayu and umi had better spec models wt smart price so wait till march is worthy zopo looks bhopo ha ha ha.
gogiji, what about nuclear sx 5i mobile by tvc?is it a gud phone compare to mmx a116?as they mentioned this hanndset has applications in which u can see live tv channels for free,with only internet charge.?is it so,if yes these all applications are downloadable, & from where, will it be suppport in any other anroid phone like a116?
Hi search google play and you will find some live TV apps, its free, and you need 3G for it to work. You can install this app on any android phone.
thanks gogiji for ur answer….!
Gogi plzz give a comparison between these zopo quadcore sets to umi x2 it’ll help many of ur followers-readers here to choose the right phone! after seeing these zopo Quad core sets i still feel umi x2 is a real performer! u shud judge finally though in all aspects!
Dear. Gogi zopo have started booking from today only.I booked one right now on 20 feb
With all this quad core rush “wait and watch till march”
http://www.dinodirect.com/d70pro-ii-dual-core-tablet-pc-android-4-1-jelly-bean-1024-600-rk3066-1-6ghzcpu-quad-core-gpu-hdmi-ultra-thin-1080p.html#notag pl. tell is this product good
I’ll better wait for March & MWC… And, i’ll also urge people nt 2 make Rs.1000 as advnc payment. Coz,aftr few days a new set will appear & people will go bizzare.. So, my advice 2 all will to “Wait & Watch..”
No info on their site. 1000 service centers as announced before again came down to 4 😀 these guys with better quality but never keep promise,prices are high and always “out of stock”. their gr8 3d libero 600 is still not launched. I dunno how they supply here then china coz there in china also the demand is high coz only cubot brand is ready for sale quad core phone there.all other brands are still only announced the sales are not started yet.
so to enjoy the low priced china direct OEM brands which are with better quality and specs. we got not choice then waiting 2 more months. then only the real picture about them known and tested.
MMX somehow managed and intro. name only quad core a116 and enjoying the profits meanwhile.they deserve it for their efforts. some said it’s 11th biggest brand in the world.so china OEM must learn some lessons & take indian market capacity serious & come up with service center’s to hijack the market here with latest stuff.
Keep on waiting for next 2 months.It’s quite astonishing that you now praise mmx. Mmx knows reading of mindset of Indian customers better than any company.
Hello gogi, May u tell me about the gpu of a116???
Hi please check this post http://www.gogi.in/micromax-a116-review.html
iocean will launch @ 7000 to 9000?
as per ur previous blog,with higher spec.
so whats wrong with zopo for being so overprice with inferior spec.
iocean is a new to brand in china as well , so if they want to survive in this huge competition , they have to come up with better specs with lower price and we dnt know about built quality of iocean whereas zopo gives quality products
Which Zopo Model 810 ,910, 950+ can be compared to MMX A116 HD
the 810 obviously due to very similar specs in display size and resolution, storage and CPU
Hi Gogi, any news on when are they going to launch Alcatel with Amoled screen? The phone is very slim and very gorgeous to look at . thanks in advance.
gogibhai
8 to 10 days before there was only 116 every where.now its launched the maja khatam ho goya.
what next? so that reader comes to ur blog repetedly.
Gopal, in March there will be more handsets. But do note that all of these handsets will be with the same processors, so just look for price, built quality and after sales.
gogibhai
i have seen lot of companies coming with mobiles to sell in india,but their price in china is lot lower than in india,same with our domestic companies,except MMX which got success with 110 & 116
when i go through some chinese blogs it seems price is nothing compared to specifications,but in our country is becomes completely ulta?
why?
when a product is shipped to India from China….anti dumping duty is imposed…so that makes it costlier
I don’t foresee anyone delivering anything before mid of march.. so far only MMX has delivered what they have promised.. rest are only in paper ( sites) as of now with not even a prototype reviewed by anyone in china or elsewhere..
Some of these Chinese companies strategy may be to sell old stock in India and launch new produce in home or European countries.
samsung galaxy s4 on march 14..is it true gogi??
Raj no confirmation yet (rumor).
yeah dude there is a launching event on 14 march . all international tech sites confirmed this news .
Good Evening Gogi Bro, thanx for updating this news. My small questions,
1.Will ZopoMobiles provides COD payment?.
2. And Please tick a like option in user comments, Bcz some tym wht hppn, asked questions are asking repeatedly… So for if we have same questions or same doubt which are posted already then simply we can like that comments. Then you will come to know that, how many users are wanting to know that’s questions ans. So it is better option instead of posting comments again and again for same doubt.
Thank you..
Bharat,
1. No don’t think there is COD option but you can call ZOPO and see if they can provide.
2. I do not have that system yet, but will see if I will get it in the future.
bharat… no COD option.. infact not even a credit card purchase can be made in Zopo site.. you have to deposit cash or NEFT transfer cash to their HDFC Bank account in Delhi.. contact them with the details to complete the shipping… i find that strange since Zepo.in who powers their site and similar chinese ones like UMI do offer credit card payment..
maybe someone who has made purchases from zopo site earlier can throw some light ?
Deposit amount in their account and then they will in a week or so.
Gogi bhai, I think it will come with 1gb ram, 8mp cam,4gb inbuilt,quadcore,531 gpu not the latest spec. like full hd 2gb,13mp,16gb,quadcore,544 what do u say?
Well not sure for now but am waiting for more details.
There is a page also fb.com/xiaomiindia…which was created on 12th Feb…so possibilities are high…but it doesn’t has anything as of now….
I have bought ZP100 from ZOPO and let me tell you all that customer support is not at all good by ZOPO. They need to grow a lot.
vishwas
kya zopowala ne app se vishwas(ghat)kiya kya?
Gopal,
Buy one zopo and then lets see;)
Hi Gogi,
I heard Xiaomi is also coming to India. Is this a correct info?
Please suggest which one should i buy MMX or Zopo…or should i wait for UMI?
Anuj, better wait for some more time anyway you will not get the handsets easily. There are no stocks and it will take few more days, probably in first or 2nd week of march.
Thanks a lot…yes i am waiting…also saw a page fb.com/xiaomiindia on facebook…i also posted this here…They are planing for India i guess…So i am keeping fingers crossed and waiting…:)
Gogi sir !
sugest me branded android smartphone.my budget is 14000.
my needs are–
1.gaming.
2.net surfing+downloading.
3.4 inch screen minimum.
4.gud battery backup.
thanx in advance sir !
which one branded phone is better ?
The quad core handset is sufficient, the A116 is good enough but better wait for some more models. Also you mentioned 4 inch screen, well there are no 4 inch quad core at time moment but it will be even cheaper.
YES Currently you have Karbonn s1 titanium is Quad Core with your 4.5 , & price 11000 INR.
Gogi, what about UMI X2? Any news on this one?
Nothing yet.
chinese and other sites like Etotalk quote availability by April for the UMI X2
As per their site specs … price and india availabilty will be known to us on 24th feb as per facebook status.
Gogi ..what is the specs of Rs 7000 qual core …
No idea yet.
the 5.7 inch one will be great,i don’t know why mmx is not trying 5+ inch phablets.
No new designs…. All just a processor update for existing models. Pathetic strategy. None of the models features gorilla glass 2. Thats were UMI X2 scores. It also sports a gorilla glass 2 and an F2.0 aperture rear camera……
Atlease price should be well below MMX A116 otherwise who will buy these chinese phones?? 🙂
Except few online users, no more people is aware of Zopo brand since no ad or promo is available on TV or other media.
Hello gaurav singh you bought zp 950max dual core handset from zopo right you have any information in box about warranty if i get defective piece what to do just share your experience wt zopo because I am interested in purchasing zp 910 quad core.
Just pray that u don’t get defective piece.Getting through ZOPO customer support number is itself a herculean task.
Great Job Sir
On tech2auto survey No.1 is umi x2 wt 46% No.2 is canvas hd 31% and No.3 is jiyayu g4 28% this survey done before zopo quadcore entry.
Ab to sab paagal ban gayee….
Who are eagerly waiting for best phone, became mad bcoz of this much verity choice n which one to buy?!!!
CLOSE YOUR EYES & LIFT ONE! Finish
With in 15days your model will be outdated!!!!;)
Sahi bola tu.. 🙂
ha ha ha well said bro 🙂
thats correct exactly.
Hi Gogi,
I can see Buy Now option for 5.7″
Please check once. They have started pre-bookings.
What is the link bro?
buy now doesnt take you anywhere .. it just lists you a HDFC bank account asking you to deposit cash or NEFT the entire sum and then contact them in a landline .. two email id’s are also provided … thats about it !
I read at let us be techy that the Zopo 950 is powered by MT6589 Quadcore CPU, and Power VR SGX531T GPU.
Is it true.
Thanks,
Brahmnoor
Hi yes same hardware as on Micromax A116.
the MTK 6589 SoC comes with the Power VR SGX544 GPU core rite ? not the 531 core?
Right now Canvas HD has all the advantages, Indian company, better looks, better specs, service centres, available on reliable sites, resale value etc. But for the lowest priced Zopo quadcore, you gotta pay 13k (no shipping charge). Everyone willing to buy a quadcore device is gonna pay that extra 1000₹ for canvas HD.
True but the 5.3 inch screen price is close. Plus zopo are offering 4.2 upgrade.
Yup Gogi bro, But for a newcomer to be successful, I think there should be price difference of 3-4k especially when they’ve lack of service centers or other facilities here in India. Only then people can forget about service centers and other minuses. But if what Siddarth said is true ,a 4.5incher priced 7 or 8k₹, then it will definitely see success. By the way, have ya got any info on 4.5″ quadcore device from zopo priced around 7k as Siddarth said ?
They haven’t upgraded old 900 to JB still. Many of their buyers are still complaining its just quadcore over previous models.
UPDATE: Shipping free for 5 inch and 5.3 inch Zopo Quadcore.
Dear gogi
Pls suggest
Whether to buy zopo 950+ or mmx HD a116.
I am not bothered about service as I know few private shops in my city(of course have to pay)
Senthil
Doha
Senthil, if you ask be the handset specs looks great with quad core and the price is just right. I had done review on Zopo Leader and built quality is really good. I probably will get the review unit.
You are awesome gogi ji… 🙂 u r a messiah as far as helping ppl like me in choosing right mobile is concern.. 🙂 keep it up
Free Shipping for 5 inch (Rs: 12999) & 5.3 inch ( Rs:13888) Zopo Quadcore
Hello Team,
What about the after sales service matter?
Thanks,
Make shipping free for all models so that there is no confusion. Also, clarify the after sales service clauses, so that potential customers would not get confused. Best wishes.
Absolutely, Please clarify the after sales service details. That is the only thing holding people back. For each and every little problem sending it via courier is not worth it.
Also provide some discount coupon and option to pay in CC EMIs… lol
u r really doing a good job dear..
keep it up.
Zopo is also planning to launch a 4.5 inch quad core smartphone at an amazing price tag of Rs 7000.
really?
@ sidharrath are u sure bro? will 4.5 incher come at same time? one more question with Gogi Sir, which of these chinese companies coming to india have better reputation in terms of durability and overall, i mean we do not see mmx screen breaking but i did see some screen breaking problems for some chinese company thats why never ordered from china
@gogi and @siddharath, would be better if you provide your sources
Naynesh, via email from Zopo India.
Got mail from gionee. Thanks for writing us. Very soon we are also launching our product in Maharashtra. Neighboring states, where our products are available: Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh. Regards G. Care
+1
siddharth u got information from where about 4.5 inch quad core phone from zopo @7000 rs.?
They should come with something like that to compete with Micromax. I mean 4 or 4.5incher 😉 priced below 10k₹.
