Anyway bit the bullet and bought two Lenovo Phab as gifts... testing the phones... the screen looks pretty good actually. Even though just 720p on a 6.98" screen, the quality is good. Cannot see the pixels. It's really good enough... updated the phones to 5.1.1 already. OTG is available. Plugged in a 64 GB thumbdrive. Played back a full HD movie flawlessly. YouTube of course restricted to only 720p cos of screen resolution. So far so good. Haven't tested the SIM slots yet. I paid $37 for extra one year 1-to-1 exchange for a total of two years warranty. First year repair, second year direct replacement with whatever model the Lenovo Phab has become... with the extra warranty, they threw in a silicon cover with screen protector. The other freebie was a clear hard plastic back cover with ear phones. Choose between this or the silicon cover with screen protector. Got both with the top up for second year warranty.I think they're trying to get rid of stock. Phab 2 Pro already announced.
