New SoC : 8 cores MT6592

We often call the MT6592 the first true octa core because it is able to activate all its 8 cores at the same time.  More information regarding the MT6592 can be found in our detailed article.
It is not the most powerful version of the MT6592 which can be clocked up to 2 GHz.Instead, Zopo chose to use a 1.7 GHz MT6592. It comes with the Mali-450 GPU running at 700 MHz alongside 2 GB RAM and 32 GB of storage expandable with a MicroSD card.

5.5 inch FHD Display
It is a IPS FHD Display offering a high pixel density of 401 ppi. According to ZOPO, it is very sensible supporting wet hands usage (apparently not with gloves). While the type of protection is not specified, ZOPO used to put Gorilla Glass in their previous smartphones. We expect the same here.

14 MegaPixels Rear Camera with a F/2.0 Aperture Lens
Zopo is very confident towards its new 14 MP camera which is said to have high performances in low light condition like the Xiaomi Mi3.
The smartphone also uses a 5 MP front camera. Both can take photos with a dedicated button on the side and both can record in 1080p.

ZOPO OS


ZOPO also worked on its own launcher which supports gestures like drawing a "z" to access your default homescreen or "c" to open the phone app. It comes with some pre-loaded apps like MXplayer (free video player available on the Play Store).

Others Features
Wi-Fi Direct, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, OTG, Bluetooth 4.0. What else, right ? Well the price and the availability I guess.

The ZOPO ZP998 comes at aroung $299 and it will only start shipping next month.
