Product Information

After driving around the SLC metropolitan and along the Wasatch front I had 4G the full time. Speed testing showed between 2MB-15MB on network. I went into the engineering mode and it only showed the official bands, so I cannot account for how I was getting the speed and signal I was, only that it worked, and worked well everywhere I tired it. I bet you would be SOL on a road trip though... Network Connectivity: I then slid in my MINT sim card, and predictably got a edge 2G signal, I went into the connections and switched off automatic network selection and searched for network myself. After about five min it showed 4 different MINT signals with no differentiation between them. I selected 2 which failed to connect, then the third connected with full 4G bars, much to my surprise.

so the hardware seems good enough...but a phone wouldn't be a phone without good software to use on it. and BOY is the software that comes with this phone a doozy. i will say, i probably should've seen this coming given the screen is the same size as the iphone 4's screen, but STILL. pictures that compare this to its older and smaller brother, the f21, really undersell the size. this thing is taller than my iphone x! honestly, i didnt want to root, but i only did so i could install gapps - there's no custom recoveries yet for this phone, so i have to make do with installing magisk modules. i found one called litegapps that can systemlessly install a barebone version of gapps. it seems to work good enough for the stuff i need it to work with. i did have to manually certify the device for play protect, but that wasn't a big deal at all. but honestly does it really matter? i mean, if you're redistributing another company's software you're both in a weird sort of grey area lol. Chipset Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming.i'm really happy with how this has turned out so far, but i definitely want to make a few more quality of life changes once i have more energy to. i'll probably write a more formal review once i've had more time to use this device daily and tweak it more. this took way too long (i did it in a virtual machine) and then i didn't even end up using the virtual machine so that rom is a complete no-go. the person who made this discovery has made a debloated version of the rom, but it seems to have gotten him in some hot water with the original modder. What broke my heart: Well, about 40% of the front of the device is the keypad, that is the whole show! The device came with Chinese keyboards which I think are able to take advantage of the physical keys for typing in a much more refined way than T9 traditional or K9T9. Not being able to type (very well) with the physical keys really, REALLY made my question why I was even bothering since I need to use the virtual keyboard to do much of anything. THE BUTTONS AREN'T PROPERLY BINDED. pressing the end call button doesn't even end a call, it just turns off the phone. the make call key doesn't do shit either. seriously this thing is so annoying

The Qin 1 is the more modest phone - it has a MediaTek MT6260A chipset with one ARM7 CPU core, 8 MB RAM and 16 MB of storage. It does not have GPS or LTE, but it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 capabilities. OS is called Nucleus, and the battery should last 15 days with its 1,480 mAh capacity. Hi everyone I am a tech enthusiast who switches phones every 3-6 months because I enjoy trying new things. I bought a QIN F22 PRO (NON-GOOGLE VERSION!) for use in Utah. Below are my experiences. Initial Bootup: When you boot up the device everything is in Chinese, you have to accept a unchangeable Standard vs Student setting. Then it immediately boots into a fairly standard android launcher. Everything is still in Chinese.The phone has supported 2G, 3G & 4G Network facilities. Moreover, GPRS and EDGE facilities also have. HSPA, LTE-A speed on the phone. Performance: Android 12 Operating system and MediaTek Helio G85 (12nm), Octa-core (2×2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6×1.8 GHz Cortex-A55) on the phone. RAM and ROM: GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. Language Setup: If you know android 11/12 then you can navigate to the settings and change most things to English. Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices.

it's sort of a bummer to me that a device like this is so big. but i think i can live with it. it has enough of a clunkiness to it to where it would be kind of annoying to use on the daily, but still usable, which is what i want. Exposure compensation, ISO control, Continuos Shooting, Digital Zoom, Auto Flash, Face detection, Touch to focus

so in typical reon fashion, absolutely nothing worked the first try for me. the syntax for commands ran in mtkclient must either differ on linux or have changed in the past month because the command to flash the super partition didn't work at all for me. i eventually figured it out (you just needed to specify which partition you wanted the image to flash to, e.g. "mtk w partitionname partitionfile.img"), but nope it didn't end there. when it came time to flash the rest of the images in the romdump, i tried using mtkclient to flash those images in the directory i had them extracted to. for some godforsaken reason, mtkclient didn't recognize which img files belonged to which partition. which meant i had to manually type out the commands to flash each image. one by one. siiiiiiiiigh. it came with one of those flimsy tpu clear cases preinstalled, a plastic screen protector (also preinstalled), the original box, and what i assume is a usb cable in the box which i didn't bother to take out (or oven try to find in the box) because i like to save new cables for a rainy day. or well just a day when i run out of usb c cables or something. keeps it fresh yknow. first impressions
