At that price, it really looks too good to be true.

Don't listen to that guy talking about MediaTek chips, it's obvious he very little about how phones work and he's trying to sell his own, but you need to consider a few things before you buy this phone.

That phone is at that price for a reason, it isn't obvious now but only someone that has handled it can tell you what they did to cut the price.

Also when it comes to these little known brands fixing damages can be a problem, because their parts will be scarce in the market.

These are a few places where they possibly skimped on to keep the price down:
1: Camera (Very common and you should expect this)
2: Battery (Don't trust that quoted capacity)
3: Durability ( It could be a very fragile phone)
4: Antenna (How strong will your signal be compared to other phones in the same place).


So it's up to you, if you do buy it please come back and post a review.

which one is guard core. Abi Quad-core. His phone is Quad-core. At 1.3 and yours is 1.2. The cpu and gpu are better than yours. You think it's cause it's mtk makes your low end 32bit better than the 64bit processor

You don fvck up... Just no argue again.... 64bit cpu processes data calculation and rendering much faster than a 32bit which in turn is far better than a 16bit cpu... Plus, the MTK processor used in the Leagoo M8 pro, M6737, is an A53: This makes it an energy efficient processor (battery saver)..

5.7" + 3500mAh = Not so good

5.7" + 3500mAh + A53 processor = Ideal Battery life
