Hi guys, before anything else, I would like everybody to read everything on this post carefully. The pictures you are about to see are actual hands on pics of the THL T100 aka Monkey King 2, taken at NOVO7 Tech SM City BF Homes Paranaque. This is a prototype unit fresh from the factory and it never came with any box or any packaging and obviously accessory contents are not finalized yet. So please do not ask me questions on what I do not know yet or cannot confirm.
This unit is 4days old and is still undergoing through tests. The actual and final unit might be different from the pics seen here. I got this unit as a special privilege from THL China, so that I can report back to them what issues need to be resolved before entering the final stages of production and to also further improve system optimization.
Over-sized images. 800x600 po ang maximum.
2 images per post.
Basa naman po ng site rules please.

the hardware button led lights need work -- make it as visible as samsung or the old xperia phones that had well lit hardware buttons.
additional microphones for noise cancellation?
an option for obtaining THL provided vanilla android rom would be good too.
or have the device rooted by default -- so users will still have warranty.
it would be ok to have locked boot loaders -- and unlocking them would be ok to void warranty.
does it come with original google play?
medyo turn off ang china version/ thl version of app store.

@endless
I agree with led lights. and noted.
so far, voice calls are normal and clear just like any other smartphone in its caliber.
THL will never have a rooted version of any kind, since this is Mediatek powered, Mediatek has locked if not very limited source codes for better 3rd party development. Therefore as any other phone distributor, rooting or reflashing with unofficial ROM or improper reflashing that will cause instability, boot loop, bricking or frying the unit will definitely VOID the warranty.
What you saw was just another free Chinese market but It does come with orig Google play, I just did not show the pics in the app drawer side. downloaded over 4GB of app data from Google play over 3G to date.
Again this is a prototype unit. Thanks for the comments. Keep it coming.

if the device has an internal memory of say 8GB, and it has a micro sd expansion slot..
1. disregard that we will use the micro sd slot
2. how much is the total available storage space --
if i were to install games on the device -- need for speed most wanted (~2GB) + NBA 2k14 (~ 2GB), and i want to copy 3 gigabytes of mp3s, and the remaining 1GB will be made available for the future photos/videos that i will be taking
3. there is are lot of misleading advertisements about a device's internal memory.

Running out of storage space will never be a problem. it internal is 32GB. Expandable to additional 64GB micro SD. Plus USB OTG support (say hot swappable 128GB USB Flash Drive). Will that suffice your storage needs sir?=)

@Sir Adrian
I love the looks and the monster specs. I love how the screen size is still at 5 inches (I don't really like the idea of a massive display).
I am a proud owner of IFM2 so I know how you take build quality and good after sales service seriously.
I almost bought your W11 (2gb ram version), the only thing that held me back - which is still sadly the case with the t100 - is that back capacitive button is on the right instead of the left. I know it is a very very minor nitpick on an otherwise perfect phone. I wonder if that's something you would consider changing?
EDIT: Would also like to get an idea how this will be priced when this gets released and if there will be a mark down in your other phones when that time comes.
Thanks!

Hi Sir, since you're the IT Director of Novotech, maybe you can request from THL to provide a fix to Caller ID mismatch on all THL phones(W8s user here)
