Download a simple free apk installer/uninstaller and delete the apps. I had a similar 3 pages of Chinese apps on a Ramos tablet, they all gone now, no need for root explorer.
You will probably find one of those Chinese apps is an uninstaller, most devices come with them.
Yes, but you seem to forget, this is for the wife! I getting shelled with heavy artillery. But hang on, she likes the dual SIM and 64 gig media card. Pray for me.
OK, let's do it again.
No, you can't. Well, a few you can, others don't budge and you get a "System app" message when you try. I googled around and a lot of people experience this with this phone. As best I can tell, you need to buy and app and then do something like this:
I ordered one from this site. These phones come pre installed with a lot of chinese apps that aren't easy to remove.
LOL. You can just remove all their icons in under a minute or even just move to other screen.
Plus you can remove all of them without any "root explorer". :-)

OMG I never saw so many different smart phones in my life.
And it is only small part. This guys are vicious in price/performance ratio and Chinese market is very competitive.
As I understand Xiaomi is regarded as top one (you can check MIUI made by them on top of the topic, can be installed on some other phones including N2). Also large manufacturers like Huawei and Lenovo exist. Many companies are small and specialized (most of the phones you see are made by them).
I don't ever know what MTK means
Mediatek - largest producer of chips for smartphones, btw.
OMG I never saw so many different smart phones in my life. So confusing, I don't ever know what MTK means. Looking for something the size of an iphone 4 or 5, with dual SIM, memory card slot and decent quality.
It's not any less or more power efficient than MTK6589
Talking with people it seems like most present phones on MTK6592 have significantly shorter battery life compared to MTK6589, not due to cores, but due to drivers. And if you do not run few very heavy games made for such chips, all this extra cores will NEVER be used.
@brianl Get something with MTK6592 instead. The price difference is nothing to write home about.
This is featuring an Octacore configuration with Cortex A7 @1.7Ghz, instead of the 1.2/1.5 Ghz on the MTK6589.
It's not any less or more power efficient than MTK6589 (the cores are from the same family) but at least you'll get faster core clocks (and thus better single thread performance). Multi core performance will also be much higher (close to double) if the apps you are running scale linearly.
Better check something with good screen and MTK6589 (as far as I remember this one has better GPU) or MTK6582.
What one do you mean? As N2 is single sim.
know this might be personal, but I'm really curious to know whether @Vitaliy_Kiselev is running Google services on his phone...
I have Nokia 920 :-) Not much google services. :-)
I'm going to try that dual sim. The dimensions are similar to the iPhone 5, it's not one of those huge droids. Better battery too. And I think you can add your own memory card, unlike iPhone.

Since I'm using Chrome mostly everywhere, I know that Google is much more invasive to my digital life than just what goes inside my Android phone. Most people are unaware, but they just might one day snap out of it when they figure out they spend so much time on the internet that Google knows more about them than their wives, children or even their closest friends. Or maybe it they won't just bother until ultimately the day they get their life insurance application rejected because Google sold the insurance company personal information where they deduct that you have a 50% chance to get lung cancer. Most people I know don't even suspect that Google reads their emails, their SMSs, their tweets/posts and just about anything else that can be traced back to them, and that they have built profiles for every human being on the planet that has a minimal internet presence.
Android has become Google's frontline in this information fishnet and since I can't fit on the Apple user profile, I'm eager to see some serious Ubuntu incursions into smartphones and how they can compete with pure Cyanogens.
