It's finally official the opening of SuperD D1 thread

I got this device on Jumia for N28.5h (through my able agent Nenergy). It took 2 weeks to be delivered to me but it's not my 1st time of buying overseas product from Jumia so I wasn't worried or restless (I gotta admit I was anxious to meet the device housing this crazy specs for such price )

So b4 it got to me, I literally watched all its YouTube review (I'm the curious type) and funny enough no English guy reviewed it, just phillipines people and some Chinese guys so it wasn't an easy task.

So without wasting much time let's go straight to the point.

This is the SuperD D1 specs




5.5 Inches

Android 6.0 Marshmallow

1080x1920 FHD resolution (480 ppi)

5-point multi-touch

MT6750T

Mali T860

1.5gGHz Octacore (64-bit)

3GB RAM

32GB ROM (22.89 Avaliable)

13mp back/8mp front camera (Front camera has no flash)

Picture quality is great both front and back

3000mah

Nano SIM + Nano SIM/TF Card

Antutu Benchmarks 45951
(not by me but that's the average of all I've seen)


Now the device also has the following function:


> It can do a Scrollshot

> It has led notification

> Noise-cancellation

> It has OTG function too


> Recent key can function as both as recent key (single-tap) and options (long-press for 3 secs)

• It doesn't have Double-tap to wake gestures or double tap home key to sleep


Short review of the device:

The UI is great, fluid (no lags experienced whatsoever moving from one app to another but I haven't loaded it yet with all my apps; most of them needs root access and the rest are just heavy games. All in good time sha)

The UI doesn't look like the regular Tecno or Infinix, it kinda looks like LeEco, though I haven't used their device but I've seen it from reviews especially the recent menu

The Dial pad has this sort of history display too, it shows you the current query at the top with 4 - 5 previous queries below in its order, cool ryt? You can use it to know when someone has tries dialing an USSD code while handling your device temporarily especially when if your girlfriend checks your account balance when you had told her you don't have enough credit to call her

RAM is doing a good job, I have attached a picture of running apps (like 8 or 9 sha) with the screenshot of when nothing is running on the device (it has 1.6GB free when nothing is running, I have seen it get higher to 1.8GB sha

one of the nice thing I noticed about the device is that apps like Chrome, UC browser (both came pre-installed on it) can resume and show the page you were on after performing a reboot or a power-off and on. It really surprised me Chrome did that. Anyway that's that

The memory has about 15GB for storage and the rest for apps (I will later add my SD card and use it as additional storage for apps) ...will update the thread on that

Camera mehn This is the most unexpected part that WOWed me The back camera takes good quality pictures that can stand against the likes of Hot S2 and the Hot 5, and from a sample of Hot 4 pro pix I took compared with this device, it would sound biased to say this device murders it (but don't worry I will surely post picture comparison of them soon )

Pictures taken with flash in areas with low light or no Sunlight looks better (shows great detail) than the ones taken without flash.

The front camera pictures look good too but it has no flash. Comparison will soon show... make una cool down

Flashlight is quite bright too (working alone I mean o)

Graphics (GPU) the Mali T860 does not disappoint at all, I have played Sniper 3D, Dead Target and Dream League on it and the experience is superb (especially the Dream League) I will try to post pictures of them too

What else o? oh yea the audio quality is great (for calls; sounds like a real bass or sortof and the Noise-cancellation is probably doing its job too) As for the main speaker, it's sure loud enough for me... watching movies with was great though the speaker is at the lower back cover so some people might not like this.


Network speed This device does not only has 4G but it has all 9ja 4G bands except glo but trust me when I say the speed of the 3G is something else...my glo that was neglected like David the son of Jesse (Bible) is now doing wonders, probably because this device has another special 3G band called TSCDMA or something... I don't recall jhare

So this device is gonna WOW you in this area.


Typing is super fast as well....you have the Google Keyboard and the TouchPal Keyboard pre-installed (I will soon switch to my Swiftkey back sha)


This is 4th day of using this cute baby since it was delivered and I have enjoyed every bit of it's function except for the Nano SIM which it has, well man gotta pay sacrifice in one area ryt?

When I said I didn't waste time with it I meant it cos I backed up the ROM shaperly the next day before installing any 3rd party apps (Compliments of Hovate.k forum)

Let me know what you think of it and drop me your qtns so I can reply whenever I can, as well as my oga FADIOZ too


Pls don't mind the lenghty post biko, in fact na rush rush I just compose ahm (depriving myself sleep of 2½ hours this midnight, but it's a minor sacrifice as well as I am a tech enthusiast with passion to distribute technological news and information freely to the public...e be like sey my grammar don dey too much)

Ok let me stop here abeg, "man shall not live by browsing alone he needs sleep too

Thanks and bye viewers

Yeah it's promo price but mind you 3G icon does appear...ome below to the right and one above when data is on but it's smaller and different from other popular ones

If you are trying to switch your 4G to SIM 2 or SIM 1, you have to put on the data first before you can now be able to switch it in SIM management settings. This got me confused when I was swapping my airtel SIM to SIM 1/2 and the glo refuse to let go of the 4G/3G

Mehn e suffer me small

You will also be dealing with one system app call MTKLogger, it keeps auto-start... I will deal with after rooting

Sweet cheap phone??

I haven't really perform a ba3 test, I haven't drained it completely but it last close 7 hours with 3G on throughout

As for the picture what I uploaded is exactly the way it is, check the last 4 pictures.

Where the guy is holding it in his hands (showing front and back)

BTW were you able to get matching glass screen and phone case¿?

Check this out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_3D-enabled_mobile_phones

Yes I bought a glass screen that covered about 95% of the screen (just little edge left on both sides but it sits well on the device face as if it was made for it) I didn't ask d name of the one used, I was in a hurry and glo took my N250 den from e-top

As for case, I have been eyeing some tecno devices today (too bad I can't be asking strangers "which fone are you usin" ) that can fit well for the camera part but you might just have to cut small space for speakers and audio jack port. IMO I think the Hot 4 pro pouch should fit well for the body as well as the camera cos it has the same shape

Though I am low on cash to get the back cover (either rubber or pouch)

Sorting things out li2 by li2

Thanks though...at least I can be specific when buying any one of them...

Super D d1 is a rugged phone. Typing with mine, been over a year and everything still gidigba, just one useless charger reduced the battery juice a little bit.

U didn't review the touch screen.. From what am seeing it seems its a gorilla 3, more like a gionee m5 mini when broken yet it works.

Things I like about the phone is the loud speaker. Mm
4G in every Sim no need of changing sims.

First phone I bought and totally saw no need for permanent root.

If u want to root with an app I will upload the app soon no need for pc. Though temporary root
