Allview Viper V1 - User Reviews

  • yo giohn hit me up if you want to increase system partition

  • Battery very bad . Stupid 16g memory but for apps just 2. Rest of it 11g is for photos and videos so you cant install anything on this 11g remained memory. STUPID phone. But camera is very fine. Just.

  • How to do this? And when i'm connected on wifi i can't use instagrama, just on mobile data. How to change this problem? Pls help me. Thx you!

  • Good, I have this mobil 2 year and is ok.it is time for a new phone

  • Sorry, now i know that, I wrote that comment a long time ago, i was stupid that time.

  • When you factory reset or open for first time ,restart it before you download from google play ,i had the same problem but a restart will fix it

  • Use Mobogenie instead Googleplay!

  • Thx

  • Try getting a better internet/wifi connection. Yes you will have a problem if you living with Bonica in the country side as reception is not good no matter what phone you have.

  • i'm interested in buying this phone , can someone tell me about the sound quality in headsets. i will use it as an mp3 player a lot maybe buy some sennheisers

  • Does anyone know how to take a screenshot?

  • My battery drains fast too, only one day with wifi on, i didnt tried with wifi off cuz im always near a wifi hotspot. PS: Android 4.4.2

  • @Bogdi, it's just you. I upgraded my phone to KitKat and the battery lasts longer.

  • Did anybody else upgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat? Its just me or is the batery running out of juice faster after the upgrade?

  • Allview phones are assembled in Romania at Brasov. They do not manufacture the components but assemble them.

  • Can anybody tell me how to find chinese manufacturer of the display and screen of this phone? In bosnia its to expensive, costs about 110euro. thank you

  • samsung make's them phone in china, .. everyone make's phone in china ... :))

  • So i`ve had this phone from March now. I`ve bought it for 899 RON ( ~ 200 euros ) Pro: ->Very snappy, fast response, minimal bloatware on it ( love this the most ) ->Slim (really slim) Feels very nice and with 3 covers, you have choices ->Camera OK( front could be better, but OK ) ->Sound quality is good( left headphone wire will bust from the jack after ~ 4-5 months, factory flaw, 3 friends including me had this). -> Dual sim !!!(Micro + mini) -> GPS great ( check settings, A-gps is disabled by default along with other settings ) -> Screen is bright with a nice color tone ( hate samsung blue hue ) Con: Battery: 4-7 hour endurance if you use it fully( web, music, video,call) Average 1 - 1.5 days( so it gets through the day ) Video chipset could be better (some games have laggy start ) Overall: Strongly recommend this phone price/value. Besides headphones, could not find and issue with it until now.

  • It seems this is not a romanian brand... is a china board sold to different brands.

  • check this info !

  • This is the BLU Life Play in USA,in Romania is Allview Viper 1,in Turkey is something like Discovery,in Indonesia I don't know the name,in China the name is Gionee ,is sold also in India.This is a generic phone re-branded everywhere made somewhere in taiwan.I own the Blu life play it is a very good phone,very good battery life.I have it for almost 1 year.

  • is a romanian BRAND !

  • Andy it's not made in Romania. All Alview phones are rebranded Gionee phones made in China ;)

  • The Camera is EXTRA-MEGA Cool. I like photos on Allview v1 Viper! NO problems with this phone!!! You can buy it without any problems!!!! I like this phone becuse: 1. Was made in Romania 2. Is performant 3. It has a Very fine design etc... Sorry for my bad English.... I'm from Romania.

  • Phone is really great, i just have some problems with some apps crashing. Does anyone have the same problem? And is there an update

  • Very good looking, very fast, good battery. nothing bad about it :)

  • i really need your opinion, i'm the most interested in camera, because sometimes i read about smartphones and it says that camera is like 8MP and when i get the phone camera is awful :) please help

  • you made the right choise

  • How many touch points it have?

  • You made the right choice! You will see!

  • I just purchase this phone and still have doubts about it. Can any1 teall me do i made the right choise or i made a mistake? Tnx in advance!

  • I'm still using this smartphone and i'm really happy that i've made this purchase as for India you should look for this ­ ,it's the same phone although Allview has a different UI and the newer Omnivision 8 MP camera OV8835 and Gionee has the older OV8830 8 MP camera.

  • this phone is 200 euro. Very good phone. I own a Galaxy S3 and the V1 Viper by Allview but this is better.

  • Please give some actual review who are using this phone. It will be great help. Also, is it available in India and at what price? Thanks in advance.

  • I have the 16 GB version for about a mounth now and i love this smartphone,it's really fast and smooth.I do also own a Samsung Galaxy S2 that runs CM11 4.4.2 but i must say that the Viper is way faster.The display is bigger and better looking,the hand-on experience is very good and the fingerprint proof it matches my Nexus 7 II,the wifi and 3g modem is getting better signal than my SGS 2.I hope i've made the right choice buying this smartphone but time will tell if i did it.Cheers!

  • I am using this phone from july 2013 and I simply love it. Its reliable, beautiful, powerful and not that expensive like other brands in the middle range smartphones.
