Octa-core for less than £100

Here in Merry olde England it’s a Bank Holiday weekend. This, by law, means that everyone must either…

a) Buy lots of items for the garden (perhaps even a barbeque even though it’s not warm enough).
b) Go to the pub “for a quick half”, only to emerge several hours later in a drunken stupor.
c) Going for a family break somewhere, only to end up having an argument.
d) Trying to do a “quick 5 minute DIY job”, only to stick a drill into a water pipe and flood the place.

How about buying a phone instead? We’ve got another slightly random Chinese phone. It’s this Mlais M7. It’s $189.99 (£122.66) but we’ve got a discount code which will bring it down to $148.89 (£96.13). Just stick in coupon code M7GB to get the saving, but there’s only a set amount of these codes.

Here’s a video showing the handset in the flesh…

This handset has a Mediatek 1.7GHz octa-core MTK6752 and there’s a 5.5″ 1280×720 screen and it has 3GB RAM, 16GB storage plus a microSD card slot for more storage. The OS is Android 5.0 and it also has dual-SIM capability with two cameras – a 13 megapixel shooter at the back (with flash) and a 5 megapixel up front. You also get 4G, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth.
