Which chinese phablet, if I may ask? > with great batteries A phablet with a big battery plus not-ultraHD screen would solve the abysmal battery life problems

  Huawei Mate 2 ($300). It has a 4000 mAh battery, and I get 30-40+ hours out of it. I couldn't ever go back to having a "day long charge" requiring seeking out power within 24h. The problem is that Huawei ships a terrible, messed up version of 4.3. Complete with a button to accidentally force close all programs (and boast about memory "freed"). And a shiny button bar, instead of just black. And bits of Engrish, which would otherwise be endearing, on the custom apps. It sucks. But if I could run Cyanogen on it, it'd be the best phone ever. There's also the Blu Energy with a 5000mAh battery, but I don't know how good the phone is yet (it's only $150). Blu seems to ship mostly stock Android. The problem is they have many dozens of models (most under $200, a few around the $100 point), so it's hard to figure out what's what. They seem to be targeting Latam with cheap-but-nice devices, like Vivo Air. If they'd focus on a couple of top models, they could easily become the dev phone of choice. Not sure what the unlocking situation is.
