Hi guys,

received my TCL version 2 days ago.. I don't recommend you to order until it's available internationally (English language only besides Asian ones, hard to root to get rid of Chinese apps).

So the real specs :

13MP front / 2MP rear.
2gb ram / 16gb storage (available ~12gb)
NOT extendable IF dual micro-sim (yes if it's single sim).
Pretty launcher provided (OneTouchLauncher) but useless for people wanting to have full control of their phone.

Good loudness for loudspeaker, a bit saturated if you push it too loud, but good quality still (I was surprised).

Physically, a bit bigger than my S4, narrower than it and about same thickness when side by side.

Full plastic and stylish shell (a bit like anodized looking) not polycarbonate as galaxy S3/4 (better material), maybe easily prone to scratches or else but still great looking.

Phone in real looks like a mix between Galaxy S2 and a Sony Xperia.

Battery is 2000mA not removable, I have the dual sim version, started my working day with 100% and ended it 1hr ago with 67%, here's my usage today : both sim cards on, data connection enabled (I do many web access for work). I made about 8 calls (some on speaker), took 6 pictures, installed an app, received 3 emails, localized a few addresses with gMaps, used flashlight (quite powerful) to help me in work quite a few times from 10sec to 2mins. Scanned wifi networks for 2min.
All that with screen set at about 50% brightness (it's a very bright one) despite hard sun outside, visibility is great on it.

So for working and normal usage, you do easily 1 full day, maybe 1.5days.

Here are a few pictures for whose interested, I'll take a few others with landscapes / other objects for next week:

quality is good (could be better), camera is fast at launching (about same as my S4), focusing and taking. A real pleasure. you even have some voice shooting option (in Chinese for my version):

              AnonD-158680, 07 Jul 2013Do u have this phone? If YES, then I was right... chinese ... moreI'll tell you in about 1 week (ordered one).

              For camera, it really depends of the brand and the sensor used... But many Chinese brands won't use good ones.

              This phone is supposed to have a Sony Exmor RS sensor on it.
