iOCEAN X8 octa-core Smartphone Review

Mobile/Smart Phones by stefan @ 2014-06-13

With the 5.7’’ X8 model, iOCEAN has chosen to go with a much more professional look by using a combination of metallic alloy and Gorilla Glass III for the front and thicker Asahi Glass for the back.

Location access menu allows us to enable the hardware GPS, but also make use of Wi-Fi and mobile network to speed up the locking process:

Smart Wake menu has been introduced with the X8 and makes use of specific gestures in order to open certain applications. The most useful option we have found to be “double click to wake screen”:
