ZOPO ZP980 is available in india? & what about gurantee?
Hi gogi,
according to you which is better Wammy Passion Z or ZOPO ZP980 ?
Hello sir,
Can you tell me is it worth it buying this mobile.Its mentioned Rs.12999 for 4GB version in their website. I stay in Bangalore, where can we buy this mobile apart from their website..?
Gogi Sir,
you said in review of Zopo ZP980 1GB ram /16GB version that it is having Corning Corning Gorilla glass 2 2 protection is it true….????…..bcoz on many sites and on facebook page of zopo…….people saying that it is not Corning Gorilla glass 2…and question still remains if it is then….what is need of in box screen protection film……..and……Is it really shipping process of zopo is that worst as people say like no handset shipped….delay of 1-2 month….worst shipping experiances in Maharashtra ……???…..reply plz….and plz also check above ‘Corning Gorilla glass 2’ thing when u will get 32gb/2gb version of Zopo 980 for review….
Ajay, there is no way to test if its Gorilla Glass, they have mentioned it on their site. Pin/Knife scratch test shows it is scratch resistant. As for buying this handset I would advice to stay away they are not organized your money will be stuck and you will get the handset very late, their refund process is also slow. Avoid for now. Look for company that has the stock and can ship the product within 7 days.
Gogi sir…Thanks for reply
Yesterday I have filed a case against ZOPO in consumer court. They haven’t processed for my refund in spite of so many calls and reminders in last couple of weeks. One of my close friend’s Uncle is working at a Senior post in Consumer court, Pune. I have submitted the related documents a couple of days back. He also added that I am the second person to file a case against ZOPO for non refund.
Let’s see what happens?
Lyk we punjabi says..sab baidchal aa..here every body run behind quad core handsets..cores are not everthing..roms stability is the main goal..mainly all these chinese shits has gps problem or battery problem..after rooting no custom roms..dont waste ur hard work money on these shits..just add sum more 2-3k and buy sum gud stuff..mainly after sale service is zero..fake service centers..dont be fool.
is the ZOPO-ZP -980 really gona come for 17999?
when will it be available in mumbai and where can i buy it from?

Yes Gaurav, you are spot on……..
I have also spoken to the Service Center person here in Kolhapur (Maharashtra). Surprisingly, presently this Service Center is presently working for MMX. When asked about the ZOPO & UMI, the authorized person was totally unaware of these brands & simply denied to have any association with ZOPO or UMI. He didn’t even know these brands.
I think its a totally fake Service Center list published by UMI & ZOPO on their website. Also, it was supposed to be active by May end. But, still even the Service Center persons are not aware of even these Brand names. That’s really funny, surprising and more importantly ridiculous on Customer’s part.
After so much of research and study, I have came to a conclusion that other than GIONEE all these so called Chinese Giants are totally unprofessional and they are not at all bothered about the Customers queries or After sales service. I also booked one ZP 980 – 4 GB version for my Cousin but after so much delay, finally cancelled the order about 10-12 days back. Still after 10-12 days, the refund is not even processed.
Now, I also want to see the situation after a month or so once the UMI X2 is delivered to the bulk of the customers. I will not be surprised if customers will beat their head on the wall for any service related issues. It will be a interesting situation & I really want to see UMI’s approach there.
Gionee has been the only brand who are never dependent on ANDROIDGURUZ (this is another name that is following the same path of ZOPO or UMI). Gionee have activated their service centers long back before January 13 & more importantly their products are available in Retail stores and online shops as well. You can have a hands on the product before purchase. Also, they launch their product only when the stocks are in their hand. Presently I have the GIONEE ELIFE E3 & I can tell you that its a really amazing phone with a stunning display.
In short, think 10 times before investing 12-15k with UMI or ZOPO as it is considerably high amount for most of the customers.
Thanks Deepak.Gionee is the only chinese company which is sincere and putting some efforts. With regards to zopo,Umi, android guruz they all are ownednby zopo only.that’s y there r so many similarities.
Hi Deepak,
I too agree with you , except gionee all other chaines brands like umi,zopo are false,gionee had some social responsibility they are offering some health camps for poor people with diseases.
I have also gionee dream d1 very good hand set
Hi Gogi….
Greetings of the day!!
First of all, pls accept my kudos to you for sincerely reviewing the products. Though Im a regular follower of your reviews but have never wrote in this forum before. So this is the very first time I want your advice in deciding to buy a new phone.
Coming straight to the point – which phone should I go in for out of these ?
1) Xolo Q1000
2) Zopo P980
3) UMI X-2
4) Karbonn S5
Though after going through the reviews, I have zeroed in on Xolo Q1000. But after reading the rave reviews of Zopo ZP980, UMI X-2 etc.. Im bit confused. Basically, I’m considering following points before I buy any of these phones:
1) Built (Sleekness -within 9mm, screen size, quality of material)
2) hardware (min 1GB RAM, Quadcore, min 280 dpi, battery life)
3) After sale service (centres)
4) Brand value in long run
On other hand, what would you advice if I think of going for Karbonn Titanium S-5. Would it be justice to put it alongwith Xolo, Zopo, UMI??
Would really appreciate your quick verdict on my query.
Thanks!!
Regards,
@shish
Karbonn S5 is very good but cannot be compared to Zopo ZP 980, UMI XII, Iocean X7 they are of different category, so S5 can be compared with may be latest latest Q800 with 6589M as it can play and record 720P.
Wait for nxt lava model othrwise go for canvas 2+….for any further help mail me [email protected]
Lemon Aspire HD and Aspire Full HD with 720p and 1080p

gogi pls reply me
1)I got news that karbonn mobiles are planning to use mt6589T chipset in there next phablet is it true.
2)what about xolo play T1000 mobile release date.
3)Do a review of xoloq1000.(xolo q1000 is very good phablet with bsi sensor abd hdr imaging but it should have had gyrosensor).
4)pls reply me if there is any phablet which has the features of xolo q1000 with gyrosensor.
Hi Gogi,
any idea when will these guys open their stores and service centers?
every time i call the answer is 1-2 months.?
i think now they are so used to lie to customers,that didn’t even ask my order no. and impromptu said that the device will be shipped out by the end of this week.
Awaiting you reply.
Gurdeep, I really don’t know when that will happen the last they said was 6th or 15th this month.
Gogi and Gurdeep,
Zopo and Umi are being managed by same distributor who is also promoting Androidguruz.I have visited Zopo India office which is 100-150 sq ft in nehru place Delhi.Their staff strength is only 3 people.i spent close to one hour in their office and not even once i got the feeling that they are serious about india.Zopo even does not have a single functional service centre till date(they officially entered India on 21/11/2012).
Wherein Gionee a very late entrant has its product available in retail shops as well as some online shopping portals.Zopo and umi simply wish to mint as much as money possible without any accountability.Both ahve published identical list of service centres but on talking to Mumbai service centre person he denied association with them.They even said they have never heard names of Zopo and Umi before.
Gaurav, i have visited the service center in nehru place, the corporate office in Gurgaon is huge !!
Pinakin,
What i ahve been told Zopo people that Nehru place office is their india office and they have warehouse in Gurgaon.I am not sure about Gurgaon office,there is no mention of gurgaon office on their portal also.
I have seen the Gurgaon office, Zopo Team is of size 200-350 people and the Nehru place office is service point, as Zopo India is also “owning” the brand AndroidGuruz, their Indian boss told me about advertising in Television and national tech support chain coming up.
Who told u this Mr.Vivek Deshpande?
Pinakin,
As you own Zopo tell me how much time does your battery takes to get fully charged from 0 to 100%.I own a ZP 950 and it takes anything between 5-6 hours.I have tried numerous chargers but nothing improves the situation.
thanks!!
Should we believe them n buy the handset without even seeing the handset in hand once? i m not sure about the quality.
Should we buy these phones or look at other indian players who have their after sales infra ready?
Rgds,
Gurdeep.
Gurdeep, the quality is good and on some models very good but everything comes to sales and after sales. If they can’t deliver how can you expect after sales. If you are in a hurry buy some other phone. As for these Chinese brands better wait and watch, see if they have improve and if they are easily accessible.
we are seeing them for last 4 months, how many lies? how many false promises every day? still you want to wait for these people? after buying the phone if you have any problem you cant go any where… you may have to visit delhi !!! to see this guys (they wont answer your phone too!)
Gurdeep,
Buying these hansets can be a risky preposition.I own a Zopo and i use it very carefully.Beacause if i drop it or any other problem occurs it will be a brick or i have to spend money to get it serviced on my own.
You can get an Samsung S3 for approx. 24500. There are news that mini s4 will be coming around 20K. Should one really wait for this “chineese” phone, when they are already fooling customers for 4-5 months.
FHD display good. But Battery is too bad.
My Next Phone 🙂 i m in love with it 😛
Hi every one its 13mp camera on back here is the video link just check out

hi gogi,
mmx a116 hd got jelly bean 4.2
http://daily.bhaskar.com/article/GAD-jelly-bean-4-4281623-NOR.html
Gogi, your reviews are great and i like you clean looking blog. I am a web developer just want to advice you something for your blog because i always browse the pictures of the phone when i click it opens the image in high resolution that is good but i need to get back to web page scroll down and again open another image. i suggest you to put the images in a lightbox effect with a next and previous option so that users will easily check all the images. And regarding the actual images taken from the phone for the sake of user how good in that resolution you can keep it as is. Any help you need please let me know.
Thanks Riyaz, have enabled it now.
After long wait I purchased the GIONEE DREAM D1 at Sangeetha Mobiles at best price of 14430/- with Insurance and small gift(Lunch Box).
how is that?? any gps trouble ??
did u get 16gb memory card ??
wher did u buy ?
Looks very fine and smooth to operate. Little lag in opening main menu(UI), battery drains fast, slight handset heating while making call, good for games. GPS locking is not accurate. Yes, free 16gb card in handset along with flip cover. Sangeeta Mobile stores- special offer now.
gogi sir,
as you said there are 3 types of mt6589 chipsets
what is the antutu benchmark differences between these three chips???
Gogi, i’ve seen at the official site , its mentioned this model has a Yamaha Sound Chip , can please try to get more information on this, if it makes any difference to the overall audio experience?
Gogi will u do the review of zopo zp980 turbo model?????
when can we expect the review???
plz reply
Gogi plz reply
GREAT! LOVE IT!
battery cud have been 2500 mah for advanced specs like 1.5ghz turbo processor and 2gb ram thats a major mistake ZOPO shud luk into!
dear gogi,
Till now zopo has not been able to deliver even one zp 980 to its Indian customers.
Mohit, you are correct! These companies do not have the present model in stock
and they go on launching new models !!!!
It is better to go to retailer’s shop see and feel the model and then purchase.
Zopo , UMI and other chinees companies are making fool to indians. They have collected lakhs of Rs. from Indian and we are waiting for our phones.
If they really wants to be setup in india then they should use online websites like Flipkart, ebay, snapdeal, infibeam etc..
I am very disappointed by delay by ZOPO in delivery of mobiles.
Mohit, i recieved my Zopo 980 after Gogi`s review and the handset is really really good, considering the price 🙂
Pinakin, when did u book it and when did u receive the handset? I am myself interested in this handset but am refraining myself just become they are not ready to give me a confirmed date of delivery. By the way hows the battery life of this? And is it the 4 Gb version?
Hi Pinakin, can u share a detailed review , any bugs or cons that u found?
when u have booked ur handset???and which date u got it and ur location
hi Pinakin,
1) When did you ordered phone & from where did you ordered, coz we still haven’t got the handset after one whole month !
2) anyways hows the phone ?
Rite…its not cleverness to buy this chinese phone..that dnt have service centre.. retail shop… nothing nd even 18500 rs…what a joke..i add 3-4 k more nd buy 2nd hand ss galaxy note2, htc onex..nd many more…m happy to stuck with mmx canvas hd..go for established brand…
What about screen protection?
Gogi ji, where do you buy your china phones from? (Online store or Retail)?
I would really like to buy one and don’t know where to begin. Please recommend me 4-5 good sites to buy these amazing phones from.
Gogi Sir,
firstly you did not give to my
query…so I am again questioning…
plz reply me.
Is jiayu g4 better than umi x2 in
terms of performance of
gaming,1080p video playback and
battery?
Which one will be value for
money?
How can I buy umi x2 or jiayu g4?
rahul, I have not checked the Jiayu G4 yet I will be getting the review unit.
everything is superb specs but why only 2000mah battery for 1080P display. ZOPO should learn manythings am i right gogi ji.
The difference in price money of 4 and 16 GB version is Rs. 3000 where the only difference is in the internal storage. But the price difference between 1G/16G version and 2G/32G & MT6589T processor version is only Rs. 2000? I seriously don’t understand this! :/
With this same specs, micromax planning anything ?
Will it really be available, in stock ? Their 4GB and 16GB versions aren’t in stock yet. Nobody has reported to have got one.
sir pls tel me that does zopo zp980 had gorilla glass 2 or not……….
Whether all versions of Zopo ZP980 will come up with 1.5GhZ processor…Or only 32Gb version….?
please compare this with mmx HD A116 scores.
Heard that it has OGS and Retina display. Could you confirm it?
gogiji is xiaomi coming to india through android guruzz
Too costly. Will they launch 1 GB am and 4 GB rom version with this 1.5 ghz processor version? May be at around 13k!!
Looks good, price should have been in 16k bracket.
hi gogi
When 16 gb model they havnt started delivering so this 32 gb one will take ages to reach to the customers hands??
2)Which one is easy to get between iocean X7 and zopo 980 16gb model?? i am looking for a FHD mobile now
chk out der service centres
zopomobiles.in/Zopo-Service-Centers-pid-21881.html
wow now we can trust zopo.
sir its not there on the website how did you find info how to preorder?
How to change the app drawer icon on mmx 116 without any launcher?
Only 2000 mah of battery for a FHD display. Phone won’t last for even a day. What say gogi?
And i wanted a phone with the 1.5 ghz of mediatek ony…
where did you find this info how did you find out the price??
when we expect to get umi x2 with Mt6589T ?
I think about the same time. Somewhere by mid or end of June.
specs are really impressive. But 18k is on the expensive side. My budget was till 16.5k 🙁
