Best dual sim phone to switch to from Asus Zenfone 2 ???

Hi guys,
I would like to switch from my asus zenfone 2 64G to a more development supported dual sim phone. Preferably under $300 or exactly $300. What would be a good choice in your opinion.
Please, elaborate if possible.
Thanks

Please, advise me.

dual sim phone that works great and is UNDER $300? hummmmmmm ....... oh yeah - zenfone 2. Your price limitations exclude any dual sim phone worth it weight in toilet paper. Save up some extra cash for an Honor 8, or suck it up and keep this phone.

Redmi Note 3
Moto G4 Plus
Blu Life One X
Sony Xperia XA Ultra (Amazon has the Lime Gold w/64GB microSD for less than 300)
LeEco Le 2 (if you can find it)
Huawei Mate 8

In my experience stay away from Blu products. Their screens are very fragile. They save money by not placing that extra layer of glass on it. So if it cracks at all you're done.

if you want cheaper one and crazy about screen quality.. go for mi4i... best screen i think so. camera quality is far better than any samsung flahship.. don't go too much over online reviews. i personally used mi4i and mi5.

Should I buy Lenovo Z2 Plus ??

Hey guys
So I'm here asking about the question in the title
I want to know whether the kernel sources are released by OEM or not ?
And I'm getting this phone for only 15K INR
Is there any android developement like custom roms possible on this phone ?? OR should I buy redmi note 4 which has a better support ??
I don't want to switch devices for few more years
Please help me here

That are two phones hard to compare.. snapdragon 820 vs 625, 5inch vs 5.5inch etc, fingerprint on front vs on the back etc... how should we know what you need or want?
Both are great..
And for custom roms > how about if you look into the roms, kernels, recovery.. section? Dont be so lazy man

Warning: Very long story
My purchase of 3Gb variant of Redmi Note 4 was final but could not buy it (everything happens for a good) as delivery was not available by flipkart in my area. I was very sad and finally decided to buy a new, seal packed Redmi Note 3 from ebay at Rs. 9300 (Rs. 10400 was listed price, after applying coupons it became Rs. 9300) as it had performance and recently got franco kernel too (previously available only on Pixels, Nexus and One Plus devices). Finally saw Lenovo Z2 Plus on Snapdeal for Rs. 12000 and immediately purchased it (was hesitant at first reading reviews on Amazon but could not resist SD 820 at this price).
The phone is great, no heating issues and was much better than Redmi Note 3 (Screen quality, camera quality, general performance, looks) when compared side by side as my friend had one. Battery is also good, I get 5-6 hours Screen on time on 4G network with hotspot on and around 7-8 hours SoT on WiFi.
About development, both devices have great roms but Redmi Note 4 has no custom kernel as kernel source codes are not released currently but may or will get them in future when sources are released. Also if you want to be like a trickster and change TV channels of any TV in lobby of any hospital/Hotel, go for Xiaomi phones as they have IR blaster.
The Z2 Plus recently got official Nougat whereas Redmi Note 3 and 4 are still on Marshmallow but that does not matter as you are planning to use a custom rom and all three have 7.1.2 Nougat custom roms.
Conclusion
If you like very good developer support with some good performance, go for Redmi Note 3
If you like development with superior battery life, go for Redmi Note 4
If you want a phone with sheer raw power and the one that does not slow down even after 3 years and a great value for money and brag among friends, go for Z2 Plus.
Currently Z2 Plus is available at Rs.13000 at Snapdeal but wait for amazon sale on 11th, previously at an Amazon sale, it was available for 12K and if you get any bank discount (sometimes 10 to 15% off on SBI Card etc during sale), you can get it for 10-11K too.
Go for the black one, it looks very good
Hope this helps
You can also watch reviews and comparison of phones on youtube for better decisions.

I am absolutely agree with hp5942's statements. Development for Z2 is only growing, it will be awesome in a few months. Note 3 has one of the best dev support and will have it for a long time. Note 4 is better looking and feeling than Note 3, but it is less speedy device.

I'm fine with front mounted finger print sensor
I want to use device for at least 2-3 years
Which one do you suggest me ?

For long run always go with the phone with more performance.
My friend still has no performance issues with his Mi4 (SD 800, flagship at that time) even after 2.5 years.

yeah..this phone worth what u paying for.

Why do you guys confuse much. Its good phone for the price. For 13k you are getting snap 820
Its like for the price of audi you getting buggati
Why to get confused. There are minor software hiccups. As you are familiar with xda you can always use custom roms
Hardware wise there are no issues. Build quality is damm solid. I have thrashed my phone many times, but it still survives.
Back glass is lil fragile.

Should i buy lenovo z2 plus now at 12k?

This phone was a worthy buy @18K, it's definitely a steal @12k, but if you can wait, BigBillionDay/GreatIndian sale is around the corner, you might get an even sweeter deal.

I bought z2 plus(4,64gb) @ 9.5k from amazon
(Actually 11k - 1.5k cashback)
So wait for any amazon sale
May be buy it on Diwali

For those not used to pimp their phones (unlock bootloader, flash rom etc...), i think Zuk Z2 is not a good choice as the original version is not perfect. But if you like to flash and customize your phone, so yes, 10 times yes,it's a very good phone (have it for almost 1 year and still happy with it).

OnePlus 5 for OnePlus 5T

Hi guys!!I have an oneplus 5 8gb/128gb and i like it very much!!Does it worth to sell it and buy 5T?
Pls help me decide.Thank you.

Maby wait for the oneplus 6, I had a oneplus 5 but the oneplus 5t screen ratio is many times better.
Also no strange things when scrolling like the oneplus 5.
That is just it, If u want more changes just wait for the new Oneplus.
But only the screen ratio is it worth in my opinion.

Screen ratio seems awesome but i dont like software keys and back fingerprint scanner..What about camera?

Any other opinions pls?
Don't mess with oneplus 5

Wait for the 6 dude. No reason to change at moment. Same camera quality. Same phone with a gimmick display. Do not play their game. Waste of time and money. If you have cash to burn, go head, but, not worh it. Imo. Make the same Im doing: buy a Mi A1, sell your op5, save some money and get a pixel 2 xl an then sell the Mi A1 to recovery some money. Op5 and 5t become a dead phone, they will not be include on project treble, in orther words: probably no android p updates.

Shoudl I upgrade to Oneplus 3 or 3T?

Currently I have a Oneplus One. The device works well, no scratches, as I have screen protector and a sortof rugged case.
I run Resurrection Remix with MicroG.
But I would like to upgrade to a dual Sim phone. I could get a Oneplus 3 cheaply.
Should I get me a Oneplus 3 or 3T? Is there a huge difference?
I would like to install a Custom ROM, without GAPPS but MicroG.
Which one has more Custom Roms?

Long story short! Get an OnePlus 3T. It's better than 3 in battery backup. other advantages are negligible. Custom Rom support is basically same.

3 or 3T doesn't matter since there is not much variation between the two except for a slight increase in battery capacity in 3T. Even most of the Custom ROMs are unified for both 3 and 3T, so it really doesn't make any difference.

Sure, it's a decent upgrade over One. As far as development goes it's one of the best supported devices out there, so there's plenty of custom ROMs and various mods.

Oneplus 5T vs Mate 10 pro. Which should i buy?

I've been having a dilema. I want to buy a new phone and i was given 2 phones : Omeplus 5T and Mate 10 pro.
Issue : I want a phone to last me in the long run (3 years+ in terms of reliability and support). I got these 2 phones on my.list because i want a good multimedia phone. I am not a gamer and not a pro photographer.
I want you people to tell.me your experience with oneplus 5T and recommendations. You can leave your negative comments if the phone is bad in a part (camera, battery etc).
Thank you!

the oneplus 5t is better but with root and roms
if you will not root or not planning then get the mate 10 pro
also bare in mind that you will not be able to root or modify the mate 10 pro by any mean as no bootloader unlocking for it
I was in the same place as you a year ago and I went for the 5t

To OP, I agree with this guy's reply to your post, as you are on XDA the 5T forum will entertain you more. But the mate 10 is still an awesome phone it can't be denied.

Thanks for the feedback.

If you ask here, you'd go with 5T.
Huawei is ****

I guess oneplus is my next phone. Huawei's mate 10 pro is pretty nice but they locked down the software. Thanks for the feedback!
