Everything comes from China products reviews site purchased in China
The Zopo has proven that has great quality in cutting edge phones, Although the price is still a little higher than competitors UMI X 2, Jiayu G3 or G4 and THL W8/W9. The new models Zopo C2, C2 and C3 Platinum suffer from the same problem, IE, cost about 50 dollars more expensive than the most competitive models. Below the picture of Zopo C2.
The hardware is great: five inches FullHD screen with the new LTPS technology of 440 DPI, Quad Core CPU 1.5 GHz, 1GB of RAM and Android 4.2.
In addition to Android, the Zopo also allows to buy C2 with the Aliyun, a type of linux developed to compete with Android. It seems, You can update the ROM for any of the versions, IE, You can test this new system and switching to Android if a drug, as it is very likely.
One of the few differences between C2 and C3 is the design of the rear camera of 13.1 M pixels. In C2 the camera stays on the side, much like the iPhone.
There are, as usual, the black and white versions. The Zopo C2 or C2 Platinum is an enhanced version of the C2 with Gorilla Glass. Very worth it, Although it's a bit too expensive.
Like most Chinese smartphones, the C2 has dual SIM. However, one of the SIMs is normal size and the other is microSIM. A bad idea, Since it's a lot easier to find SIMs of normal size.
Below, the little box of C2:
As I had commented, the Zopo C3 has the same hardware C2 and no Gorilla Glass. The camera and the flash were centralized as well as the Samsung Galaxy S3. There are also some additional colors, as this model rosa.
The front wouldn't give to differentiate the C2 of C3. Speaking in differentiating, both the C2 as C3 reach 14400 in AnTuTu.
The quality of Zopo phones is very good. I've had a cell phone Zopo Zp500 It worked very well. I don't regret having bought, Despite being more expensive than the Chinese average.
Just for the record, It is worth mentioning that the C2 and C3 models have WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS (AGPS and EPO), 2G QuadBand and 3 g (WCDMA) in the frequencies of 850 and 2100 MHz.
Below, the inside of the phone C3 showing the dual SIM with a normal SIM and a microSIM. In addition to the slot for the microSD card.
The forums and evaluations of Zopo phones are generally favorable. The question is: worth the price? The Zopo C2 Platinum has hardware similar to the UMI X 2 and it costs $ 279 d's, IE, about of 50 dollars more. I seem to be worth the difference in CPU Clock 1.2 GHz to 1.5 GHz. The question is of some user really worth the price in relation to the software and the camera quality. I leave a few links to the phones C2, C2 and C3 Platinum, In addition to Accessories:

Generally no. The phone comes with installed operating system and usually works fine. The new ROMs add news or correct problems.
