Though in the QC802 they print it “android 4.2” , however, now the shipped device will still come with Android 4.1, please notice this.

They put the soft power off and hide status bar function in this ROM.

Google play store is pre-installed;

About output, it is still 720p up scale to 1080P, but you can get real 1080p in future with a custom rom or 1080p kernel, In my opinion, for regular use, the 720p is enough, the 1080p will make the cpu get higher temp.and will make some app crash.

Antutu Benchmark score is 14456, the future rom update will improve this, but for stock rom, it is.
