Allview V1 Viper S - User Reviews

  • where is the SAR value of this phone? is that not important?

  • I have that phone since more than 1,5 years, good quality, but what I like the most is that come with 2Gb RAM + Qualcomm quad core processor, enough internal memory 16Gb and very good battery - that allow me to run any application & game without any issue. I had many other smartphones, and I can say that at its price performance is better that Samsung similar phones

  • I own one of this phone. It is at a good price/feature rate. It worked fine for one year, now I have it serviced in warranty, the mainboard failed, it does not comunicate via USB. Overall the only problem which annoyed me is the poor quality of the pictures taken in spite of the 13 MPx camera. I have some signal problems with it, but it is from the GSM operator RDS, I have the same problem with Huawei P8 Lite...

  • how can it be a clone of Walton if allview appeared in February a;d Walton in april.Do the math.

  • Because of walton rebranding that phone

  • I all so think that the protection glass is not Gorilla Glass3, camera is very poor quality and it has problems un signal during calls.

  • Have this Phone for about a month needed a dual SIM relativly cheap and with good specs, also have/had a Samsung Galaxy S4 so a quick comparison from the standpoint on wich i use the phone... batery is better not by much but half a day extra makes a diference; games i played on bouth phones didnt feel the diference in graphis..maybe just in the superior quality of the SuperAmoled on SGSIV think nicer colors but not by very much ; signal quality.. no isues yet ; now the hot topic camera... well either i was lucky with allview and got a very good camera (for a phone) or unluky with SGSIV(wich was bad in comparison) would have liked the 4G version of this phone but for my needs 3G is good enough for playing online games; software : skin from Allview on top of the OS doesnt bother me got used to it after a 2 days .... touchwiz....was anoying but got used to it form way back when i had SGSII PPL are complayning of software freezes... well a liitle housecleaning from time to time( unistaling clearing, caches, verifing the instal paths ..if is on internal memory or SD card..etc once/month same i did on SGSIV ) and no software freezes till now. Overall at this time for ~250Euros a good Dual Sim Phone Doens't matter if Allview is a phone rebranding....remember all phones are builded in PRC(CHINA).. but software optimizations are from this company - the custom andriod ROM wich the phone comes to put it simply

  • I can confirm fluctuating signal quality. While Vodafone is almost at full most of the time, Cosmote sometimes looses signal completely. Is it a Cosmote or Viper V1 S problem? I think both factors play a role.

  • Google for Walton Primo S2. It looks exactly as Allview V1 Viper S. And the driver is also for Walton Primo S2...

  • Signal is weak and fluctuating. Buying new SIMs don't solve the problem. No kitkat. Allview announced kitkat for many other inferior phones, all but viper S?

  • Viper V1 was released in February 2014 and Walton Primo S2 was released in April 2014. But YES, Viper is a Walton clone despite any logic just because you can't think in other way.

  • Either directly on Allview website or at emag.ro etc. etc.

  • Problem is not the 13 MP but the blue stitch when making pictures at night. The camera is weaker than Samsung S3 cam and a lot weaker than S5 cam (my wife had S3 and now has S5)!!

  • Sorry. Is not a romanian phone. Is an Indian phone. Primo Walton S2 !!

  • Correct. Allview is only rebranding. V1 Viper S is in fact an Primo Walton S2. I noticed that when I was looking for a way to root the phone (and suceeded).

  • Is for sure not the best phone. Is a good Dual sim phone at a reasonable price.

  • I cant confirm that. My phone blocks from time to time, the camera sometimes blocks or needs several attempts to focus, programs block etc. etc. Overall I am happy with the phone and due to the price I can recommend it to everybody. But S5 clearly beats it.

  • Sorry pal, but this phone is for sure better than a S3!!! No question the S5 is better (my wife had S3 and now has S5) but consider also the price difference!!

  • I can confirm this problem. My Allview V1 Viper S also freezes from time to time and I need to remove the battery. Happens about every 2 weeks or so. Meaning its annoying but not that bad.

  • I have the phone since the first day it was released which is now a couple of months ago. I am happy with the phone but there are noticeable differences where you note that the price difference. Short Conclusion: For the decent price it is a nice Dual Sim phone with up to date performance (speed, battery, display). There are however some downsides such as weak camera and several small bugs that do make a difference to Samsung S5. Plus: - Reasonable price - Dual SIM - Battery 2500 mAh - Good performance - God 5.1" display Minus: - weak camera. Problems on focussing, strong blue stitch in night - screen is for sure not Gorilla Glass 3 (scratches to easily) - small bugs such as phone blocking from time to time (need to remove the battery) - there are noticeable small (weaker) differences to Samsung S5 (display S5 is better etc.) - some users complain about poor signal recepetion

  • give me a link of bug free v1 Viper S custom rom.please help.

  • are cineva un backup la firmware-ul de viper s de la allview?

  • All allview phones are in eroupe (best seller)

  • My viper S sometimes freezes completely and remain lit keys down, the battery must be removed to restart. Sometimes I can't run left and right menus. I reinstalled android, i try to reset factory default. I'll try to put a clean android, no allview android...I lose warranty

  • hahahahahahahahahahahaha better than s3 ? just because your score in antutu benchmark is 19000? think again

  • have this phone about 3 month and work's very fine and smooth like the day i bought him!

  • I bought this phone 3 weeks ago , and i'm dissapointed because the hardware parts are k but the software is shityyyyy!!! Its restarts himself very often and the meniu is very poor....i have a download problem from google store etc etc , its my first allview phone and i won' t buy another one ....sry for my english:)))

  • I've one ,is the best mobilephone!

  • This isn"t gionee...it"s walton s2 primo....see on youtube or gsmarena....

  • The vast majority of Allview phones are in fact nothing more than rebranded Gionee phones (or various other brands). Allview isn't really producing anything of its own, it just rebrands other products. I own the X1 Soul though, or, to be specific and politically correct, the Gionee Elife E6, and it worked flawless for the past 3 months.

  • It'not that.. Just my ex 5mp phone was smoother than 13 mp of allview! But im'm proud of romanian allview! Bravo baieti!!

  • If 13MP is not enough for your cause, buy a digital Cam with sooming lens.

  • yes it work fery smooth on real racing 3! camera not so good at 13 mp....sount very clear and with exact headphones the sound it's pretty nice! if we talk about the update to 4.4....i guess it's not gonna happen this year cuz of resurces....still a small company!

  • I am using this phone for 16 days and it is very nice indeed.I highly recommend this device as a budget phone if you want a quality phone in a cheaper price.And it's obviously better than Moto G and Galaxy S3.Antutu benchmark is 19947.Not bad in this price range.Certainly not.What do you think?

  • Yes you can

  • Can you connect to the internet via 3g whit the mini sim?

  • Have you tried games on it?

  • Can you give me the site from were you bought it?

  • This phone handles games like asphalt 8 or gta san andreas....pls answer i want to buy this phone and i want to be sure

  • The phone is very good as specifications. But camera quality is not good. Performance is also good but OS is not stable. Applications are crashing frequently. The price group is not correct at all. I bought this phone from Bangladesh at 175 EURO (according to conversion rate) only. Important:

  • Hi All, Am quite fascinated with this beast� The specs are killing :) Can I buy this phone online? Currently only available in Romania as went through their website.. Your guidance is much appreciated� Regards

  • I have this device for about 10 days. I am very satisfied with it. Even if the screen is not full HD, it is quite OK. Very responsive, it did not hanged till today not even once. Web pages are uploaded very fast. I did not played games to test it, but given the experience so far and the specifications, I guess there should be no problems. I like that the producers included their own software for writing NFC tags, that offers the possibility to manipulate even the GPS start/stop without root access (as I saw others apk ask). Regarding NFC communication, I could not be able to send files to/from Samsung devices (Note 3 and S4), but only contacts. I suspect it is about Samsung, as I had similar problems with Samsung when trying to send to a Nokia. GPS module works like a dream, it is by far the fastest I worked with, connecting within seconds. Battery assured enough juice to keep the phone on for almost 2 days, normal use, with 3G and Wi-FI permanently on, bluetooth and GPS on during driving (about 90 min), talking to the phone, browsing and playing Solitaire :) The software, even if is not the latest, works fine, and it is good Allview renounced its Berry interface they used to put on top of the Android. About the camera, I was surprised about their quality, some of the pictures I got was so good you could say they are made with a compact or a bridge camera. I saw the photos put as example by our site colegue, and either he was unlucky, or I was luckier, the camera on my device is visibly better. Of course , in low light the photos are not extraordinary, but in those conditions, even a compact is not doing better. The camera software is nice, I did not feel the need to install other application as I used to do with other smartphones I used before. Panorama works fine and eraser is very useful. A phone worthing each penny you invest in it, with a report price/results hard to be beaten, that shows this little company (Allview) begins to find its way.

  • Why is that price group ? It's a lot better then Galaxy S3 and about the same price.

  • A very good smartphone.

  • only good things about it !!!

  • I think the specifications are similar to Xolo Q1100 as released in India. Hope Kitkat 4.4 rom is released for all these devices.

  • Got the new Allview V1 Viper S. What a surprise. probably one of the est phones I ever had.AND.... it's Romanian (well kind'a. it's assembled in Romania). All-in-all I loved the phone and it's performance. Going to buy another one for my traveling. highly recommended. Just need to wait to the accessories to come.

  • is a very good phone. I have for some time and it works fine. thanks ALLVIEW

  • This set is available in our country as Walton Primo S2. I already bought it. Overall performance is good but OS is a little bit buggy. Waiting for 4,4 update for this device. Back 13MP camera also not so good. Check the photo quality captured with my device.

  • Right now, you can only get it from, their official website (allview.ro) as it is on preorder until 29th March. After then, it will also be available in other countries than Romania.

  • where can one buy this phone? pls reply

  • The price isn't 310 euros, it's about 285. Anyways, great phone from the Romanian company (City of Brasov, precisely, the city where I'm from). It is better than the Moto G, and just slightly more expensive in our country (a 16 GB Moto G is about 250 euros) so this phone is worth it for the better cameras, more RAM and a better CPU. One thing bad about this is that it probably won't get updates, but I'm still going to get it, and root it if I really need to.
