Archos Diamond Omega review

10 December 2017
The Archos Diamond Omega is a Nubia Z17s in disguise - a product of the cooperation between the French company Archos which operates on a few European markets and Nubia, a smartphone maker from China, in which ZTE has a stake. But regardless how you call it, it remains a high-end smartphone through and through.

          A flagship with a score of 3.8/5? PASS! We the enthusiastic community only buys a phone that you guys rated as 4.3/5.

            why would you test it against older phones from other makers and not the newest ones with the newest hardware ??

              When you buy a smartphone that needs you to get another device (USB OTG) or adaptor (3.5mm-USB CABLE) in order to work, it is a total failure.

                Just like Xiaomi and OnePlus flagships, this phone is just a waste of money simply due to a lack of MicroSD. That is, in my eyes, an inexcusable flaw.

                Otherwise, it looks nice, I guess... But it's really not a cost-friendly alternative. It's unlikely that you can buy this phone in whichever EU country you live in, so, you'll get absolutely shafted by taxes, whether the Phone comes from China or France.

                Oh and yeah, can you guys do reviews of more lesser-known brands? There are dozens upon dozens of smaller Chinese Brands that are vying for the budget marketspace - like Cubot, Leagoo, Uhans, Vernee, Umi/Umidigi.

                Not only do we not have reviews of those, they aren't even listed on this website!

                You should really get that sorted out; such Phones would be much more interesting to consumers than crappy 1/8GB or 2/16GB Phones from the big brands.

                  Well, it for sure has the coolest name of all phones

                        Stopped reading after:

                        No memory expansion slot
                        No 3.5mm audio jack

                        F U archos. You used to have IR-blasters, micro SD card slot and audio-jack. Especially you whom started as a company that sold mediaplayers. You are loosing your core public, fools!

                            Didn't Archos used to have stock android? It's a shame they stepped out of it.
