Allview X2 Soul - User Reviews

  • this is gionee Elife 5.5 S, the same phone, rebranded

  • excelent phone good operating sistem with some improvements, plays any game, screen is very good, very colourful, is an amoled, very slim phone

  • This phone are gyro senzor ???

  • how to reset background data restrictions

  • my phone x2 soul pro needed a resoft after starting to open itself programs randomly.Now one year after that problem still works verry fine.Meanwhile i have made 1 update that resoved some problems for contacts because if wanted to delete contacts it entered in modifing them.No other problem from then, verry fast and hi demanding graphics games still play good.Not verry good screen body ratio but compensates being slim is actualy quite beautifull

  • is the top made in romania

  • BLU does the same thing in Florida See : www.bluproducts.com

  • Its a good phone

  • Kids, stop arguing, while you make bank liana to buy a cheap phone! So what if it's allview, Gionee or any other phone. Components make the difference. Nokia also made good phones in other countries(like romania). And many others of your beloved brands don't produce their phones in their own countries, because of the costa. You want a hi quality picture? Buy a camera!

  • Dude, in 2008 nobody heard of android...you were still using Bada OS on a lame samsung

  • What if Gionee copy allview design? So what if they're produced in china, at lower costs?

  • Yes, john...we're all professional here (LOL) now you may understand what a frapat life i must have, because i have no way but to live in the same country with these lame people :D

  • i both had Allview and Alcatel...and alcatel are far worse than Allview. And some of my friends also had zte, huawei and other pieces of crap. So, as a general client, Allview ia not a great phone, but it's much better than any other cheap phone

  • good but suport 0

  • Apple suck...i nave this phone and i to say is very good

  • So are Apple phones, you know...

  • Best choice price / utilities. Quick elegant aesthetic

  • I agree with all users here who said that Allview phones are lame. Yes they are made by a 7th hand chinese company and rebranded as Allview for Visual Fun Brașov, Romania. I can confirm the fact that many Allview phones sold în my country came back into service and needed a resoft or even swap it they are in warranty period. Do you ever wonder why big providers like Orange, Vodafone, do not have Allview phones into their offer, but they rebrand phones like Huawei, ZTE, Alcatel? That's why - Because Allview are crap and come with a lot of problems! Stay away form all Allview products! P.S. - I am a romanian also.

  • Wow, look at all the comments coming from people who have nothing better to do with their lives than trash their own national brand. I really wonder what satisfaction they get from this. I have never seen a more pathetic display.

  • Actualy the phone is not designed in romania, it is just a chinese phone rebrended, the original brand is Gionee,allview just take the phone,change the logo and put a custom rom on it,thats all...its a chinese phone, not romanian phone.

  • Quote from Romanian Ministry of Finance website abt manufacturer financial infos: "medium number of employees: 85. Activity type, as per CAEN " I personally don't believe a word...85 workers? No, s...t!

  • made in china just asembled in romania brasov

  • Agree that in my city, Brasov, is no Allview factory. The phones are created, designed here and made in China because is cheaper. It have to have something more than air in your had to think about that.

  • It's a company who get this phone from China, and they are just putting their name on each phone.

  • i`m from romania and i tell u there is a factory in brasov 100%

  • Dude The company is rom Brasov but the phone come costume made from chhina, X 1 Soul differs from te china version its proccesor is much bigger, 2.2 Ghz. Lots of companies do this stuff for exemple Acer, Lenovo, Dell, Toshiba, Hewlett-Packard, HTC, LG and I can go on. ODM (Original design manufacturer) are cheaper then ordering your phone design. Many of the Romanian companies do this Allview, UTOK, E-Boda, Vonino, Akyta, Serioux , but they Differ from other companies that use the same ODM because they customize it fore you

  • Copy cat Gionee Elife S5.5 sm

  • Dude, this is an OEM Phone. A factory in China sell this phone unbranded, and brands like Allview, Gionee, Prestigio, etc, only customize the software, put the logo and VOILA. Sorry to inform you, but there is no factory in Brasov Romania that builds this phone. P.S. I'm romanian too!

  • My friend, if it's like you said how do you explain the fact that you can use root tools from gionee elife 5.5 and it's working perfectly?

  • This set is available in pakistan with name of Qmobile noir z6 in 240 euros= 270$

  • Hello everyone. I own an X2 Soul and I like it very much, although it has some issues with it's operating system. It has android 4.4.2 on it, but it's customized by Allview and has several bugs. One of them is the lack of more customization possibility of the locke screen. It only has 3 options: Slide, Pattern and Pin. Not even None. When I unlock my phone, I have to swipe up to unlock the screen even if there is set to unlock by a pattern or a pin code. Another thing about this phone is the lack of bass in the music player. Although it has a yamaha amp and dts settings, my old Allview (p5 quad) had a much enjoyable sound. Otherwise it's fantastic! I recommend it!

  • i am romanian. this phone is fabricated in romania in brasov city in the middle of romania. this phoneis not bought or imported from any country. its made here from scratch. so stop saying its gionee or blu or prestigio. these companies have a contract with gionee to borrow the design nothing else hardware and softwere its all made in romania . its the best phone i had in years. and i am proud to say that is made in my country. i am a proud patriot with these phone. ( excuse my bad english)

  • This model sales in UK as Prestigio Grace.

  • then go and buy an iphone. bye

  • This phone isn't worth more than it's selling price. Most of its specifications are only on paper mostly because they use very cheap and poor quality parts. Besides the design and display, it's crap, most notably the battery (12h or less with wifi on and playing a decent game), camera (might be 13Mp but feels like 5Mp not talking about the lack of autofocus, even a ipod shuffle g3 behaves better when shaking) and the bluetooth (although it is v4 it behaves worse than v2 - can't transmit media without interruption to the bluetooth headset even while it's touching it when there is a source of signal nearby(wifi, cell, other bluetooth, radio, etc.) while a s2 mini works from 8-10 meters away). It's octa-core processor is a lie, only numbers, because it works just like a Note 2's quad-core (made comparison myself). Signal antenna is also a major fault because I often find myself having 0-2 strength lines in a crowded building. However, for his price these faults are to be expected, and totally worth the money, but not a penny more. Expected lifetime: maximum 2 years.

  • Gionee has 3 rebrands: BLU in the USA(Miami) ELIFE in ASIA (around India) ALLVIW in Europe (Romania, Brasov)

  • Very good phone for his price,after kitkat upgrade antutu score was 31000,looks great,nice display,battery keep it alive 1 day at medium usage but .... is very slim. Works well with stock launcher. i dislike 3gp extension for movie camera but i can live with that :),dont recomend for hard gamers because is became hot after 30'' of hard usage. Good quality pics. I recommend this phone!

  • I am a very happy owner of such a beautiful device. It really is a "jewel" if I do say so myself,as it has an elegant look and feel due to the premium materials (glass and magnesium-aluminum compound). The display is very sharp, with high ppi density and the colors are very well displayed. In my opinion, it is even better than an iPhone 5S, as it has a higher pixel density,higher resolution, more RAM memory and a way better processor, iPhone has a better video recording quality but the photo quality goes to X2 Soul (which comes with a Sony Exmor IMX135 sensor). The performance of this phone is truly amazing. The thin and elegant this smartphone, the powerful it is. Regarding the price, it comes at an incredible price of ~300 Euros, so I don't think there is a better features/price alternative. I strongly recommend it to anyone willing to spend money wisely, but benefit of a device much more powerful and sexy than the majority of smartphones on the current market.

  • I don't see your point and you're also terribly wrong. Fiber optic cables support speeds up to 100Pbps (petabits per second). LAN (UTP) cables support up to 1000Mbps (Gigabit LAN). Wired operators offer different speeds depending on country. Mine actually offers Gigabit LAN (1000Mbps offered, about 820Mbps measured by speedtest.net against node from another country) to home, for about 12 euros per month (internet only subscription). Neither of these have anything to do with OTA speeds. My operator is currently offering 4G at 150Mbps and guess what? My Z3 reaches that.

  • very good phone...large display...powerful colors...i`ve had a note 3 and the camera is better on allview...the internal 5 mpx camera make the difference with any other phone...the octa-core processor run very well...with the 4.4.2 software i don`t see any lag or any errors...i think for it`s price it`s the best you can get! serious...show me another phone with that specificattions cheaper then 300 euro? :P

  • really?? in Romania x2 soul cost aprox 300 euro :D

  • If you search on Wikipedia, the 4G network capable of 300MB/s download rate. This is more than you get on a fiberlink cable, that has a maximum of 100Mbps (12.5 MB/s). The network operator is not capable of offering you that much. The 4G stuff is more a marketing thing, that will be useful later on. Additionally, my X1 Soul is capable of HSPA+ which is pretty much the same with 4G. I am able to download with 10MB/s (80Mbps) on mobile data. Anyway, most mobile providers are not fully capable of maximum speeds for either standards.

  • lack*

  • very relevant

  • Luck of 4G make it useless

  • Good performance for this phone but the updates have bugs and doesn't bring good new features. I still rather buy an Lg,Sony or Iphone or even an Lenovo.

  • do ur research people ... Gionee has 2 rebrands: BLU in the USA(Miami) and Allview in Europe (Romania, Brasov) ... IT IS THE SAME DEVICE !!! YES the prices differ because of taxes, publicity and services

  • It's a Gionee rebrand :) Si eu credeam la fel.

  • Really?

  • You are misinformed.

  • The phone is made in Romania, in Brasov........

  • this is Gionee Elife S5.5

  • My opinion is that all these phones like this one are not originals. Only software for customizing is developed by romanian, polish, hungarian or other no matter what company. Phones are made in China and they are bought by these newly established companies. This is what i call a very profitable business.

  • it's not identical to Gionee Elife 5.5 - X2 Soul doesn't have Gorilla Glass 3 and it's slightly lighter.

  • nope, it's a rebranding of Chinese products by Gionee.

  • It's really fabricate in Romania?

  • after kit kat update and instaling nova launcher,performance is much better ...antutu went from 27000 to 31000, and it is noticeable in overall usage. i hated this phone the firsy days i got it... it sort of grew on me in a week or so.also the tons of compliments i got for the design helped a lot .

  • Extremely high price for a MT6592

  • Blu Vivo IV is 299$. Not 467$ like Gionee, or Allview Soul x2

  • u r right about that, it is the Gionee s5.5 indeed. not a copy. just rebranded....

  • They're actually have the same hardware configuration. Only the Software is different. I would reccomend Allview X2 Soul.

  • Allview x2 soul or gionee elife 5.5 or blu vivo 4 ????

  • Sure Octa-Core , and 2 GB ram is soooo 2008 !

  • Allview also changes the user interface.

  • Allview is the romanian reseller of Gionee in Europe!

  • good phone at a fair price

  • It doesn't just look similar, IT IS THE GIONEE ELIFE S 5.5 with an Allview badge. Rebranding is the real deal with Allview. Though, to be fair, I really don't mind it.

  • haiee its 2014 guys :D no 4g and Cortex A7 -_-

  • mediocre copy of Gionee Elife S5.5

  • 5.6 mm thickness!

  • Phone looks similar to Gionee Elife S5.5. Is this a similar kind of thing that automobile companies do re-badge and sell products.....
