I know the pro version supports Quick Charge 3.0 but does the normal version too?
And someone knows what display glass they use? Some people say gorilla glass 3 but not sure.

Gorilla 3 and QC 3

Does anyone know if the USB cable for the Zuk Z2 is up to spec?

I have tried multiple charger/cable combinations and haven't been able to get quickcharge to work. I bought a cheap supposedly QC3.0 compliant charger from China and tried that with the original leads and then some leads I got off of Amazon and just worked normally, then I bought a pricier, well reviewed Anker QC3.0 charger from amazon and cables that were advertised as QC3.0 compatible and still wouldn't work. Then tried the same setup with my friend's HTC 10 and boom! quickcharge.
I should mention that I was on the official Indian 2.0.111 ST ROM that was an OTA update from 2.0.093 that I flashed after getting a vendor ROM, so as official as it gets. The phone is advertised as QC3.0-compatible so either someone cocked it up or they haven't had the time to enable the function. Roumor has it that we're getting ZUI 2.5 next week so maybe then.

We were talking about the standard version Z2131 (not the Pro Z2121), which unfortunately does not have Quick Charge 3.0 enabled.

So it supports or not because gsmarena says it supports so do reviewers but i don't have a quick charger to very .Should i buy one?

The ZUK Z2/Plus doesn't have QC 3.0, I have tried a QC 3.0 Power Bank and a AC Adapter to no avail.

I did a test on this, basically the Z2 (non-pro) will charge SLOWER with a QC charger than with the stock charger. Having said that, the standard charger is not that slow (104 minutes 0-100%), which is faster than Google Pixel XL which has similar 3450mah.
I wrote more information and graphs here:
http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/info-z2-quick-charge-speed-testing-discussion.3132/

nvm

The word out there is that maybe the phone supports it but the kernel doesn't and no one is willing to modify the kernel for this because its risky. One thing is brick your phone and making it useless by doing so another thing is taking the risk of the phone blowing up or burst into flames. Even if someone changes the kernel for some reason and is irresponsible enough to make it available I will not flash it. It is just too risky. Only if Lenovo releases it someday (which I doubt it) I will then put it in my phone. I also bought a QC3.0 charger only to realize it didn't work.

Doesnt support it. Maybe QC 2.0
I have tested QC on stock 2.5 ZUI as well as on MOKEE 61.1 and 71.1
One thing Im sure about that when my Le Pro 3 wasnt dead, it charged its 4070mAH battery in 1:30 minutes while Zuk Z2 takes 2 hours to charge on same cable and adapter. Whatever they advertise it as, isnt being delivered. No idea if kernel cocked it up or really the hardware doesnt have support for it.

It is possible to enable Quick Charge 3.0 (Qualcomm) ?

Hi,
Maybe a noob question, but we all know that Snapdragon 820 can work with Quick Charge 3.0.
My question is : a custom ROM could enable this feature ? maybe locked by Oneplus ...
If not, it's a hardware problem ? If someone can explain to me the reason ...
It could be. The phone already accepts 5v 4amp. It's probably in the kernel.
My assumption is that certain hardware for voltage regulation is required for QC right? Isn't this hardware missing since OnePlus moved the voltage regulation away from the phone to the wall charger?

Why would you want QC3 when you already have an equivalent fast charge ?
There is a power controller that determines whether you can do that, its hardware and by the looks of it 1+ decided to do it their own way.

OnePlus will release the dash charge blobs soon so that they work with custom Roms. They said they'll release at the end of July, which could be next week

Quick Charge is a closed proprietary standard so enabling it involves communicating via a closed protocol which is allowed to pull a higher power, so it's pretty infeasible regardless of the SoC.,
What I'm interested in enabling is USB-C fast charging (5v @ 3a) since those accessories are much more common and still very fast

Go to forums.oneplus and search for "Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 vs OP Dash Charge".
I think that thread might answer your question. In my opinion Karthik Raghavan explained well it there.

That just means they didn't give you a qc 3.0 fast charger. They skimped on it to lower costs. Get a qc 3 charger and it will work

Forget about QC, USB-PD and USB3.0 would be better to enable or port. Dash is overrated.

WHat happened to Xiaomi on AliExpress?

It seems that all Xiaomi devices have been removed from AliExpress. And by saying all I mean all. Sellers that sold many Xiaomi mobile phones (like TopOne Digital Store) now don't have anything.
Anybody knows what's going on?
Maybe what happened with Amazon aswell, they had to remove the products they had because of the charger? Not fully sure though. Its just some believes
Was there any news about it? I'm lucky then because I bought UGREEN QC 3.0 charger then and I shouldn't worry... If that's the case of course.

Top-One has his products online for example: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...32762520854.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.v05SNd
I think they've redone their store though. Also Chinese new year comes in some days.
It seems the Mi5s isn't available though.
When I open on laptop I also have no hits. But when I open alie app on my mi5s they are still there

1) 1.4 - 1.7 GB for me with medium usage.
2) Awesome. Root and you get Dolby; Mi Enhancer works well.
3)QC 3.0 is not supported, QC2.0 takes 2.15 - 2.30 hours.
Please use the Thank's button if this was helpful.

Thanks for the info but I saw somewhere its QC 3.0.
So, it is false, isn't it?

The Indian Version supports QC2.
The Chinese Version supports QC3.
I referred to Indian Version as
-> QC 3 compared to QC 2 is not a big jump, the power output is almost the same, the 8% gain is from increased charging efficiency.
-> Indian Version was launched first.
However possibilities are that Indian Redmi Note 5 Pro can support QC3 via root access and other things which I am currently aware about fully.

I`m wondering the same.
Mostly use phone for email,maps and 4-5 social media apps.
3 GB is quiet enough, but i highly recommend at least 4GB.
If we use that phone for regular use,3GB ram is quite enough.but 4GB ram would be better for them who're used to play some games along with extra storage.

Zuk z2 plus!
This phone has a pretty good camera, UIis crap for stock but sexy on custom ROMs
Sent from my ZUK Z2 Plus using XDA Labs
I haven't own or used or even ever seen a Mi 5 Prime.
I have owned / used (rather using) Mi Note 5 Pro, Mi Note 4 and I have seen hands on (friends and family) Mi A1, Mi 4A / 5A and Note 5. I am also using Zuk Z2 Plus.
Now based on this experience and judging from above mentioned Xiaomi devices, I would chose Mi 5 over Z2 Plus. Reasons ?
Better Camera, since Mi 5 seems to be having 16MK with OIS. OIS does make a hell lot of difference.
Certified support for QC 3.0. Though Z2 Plus does support QC but that's via Custom ROM and an uncharted trial and error territory.
MiUi. Personally I hate it, but I can't deny the frequency of update Xiaomi has. Always uptodate security patches plus they update even their 5 year old devices to latest android version, not just security patches !!
Support for Custom ROM. Though both ZUK and Xiaomi are in same place here, for their wide range of custom rom, but combined with above mentioned points, Mi5 would be my choice !!

This is a different issue. Your personal issue with Mi 5 Prime which you already have. But as device wise, I would prefer Mi 5 Prime over Z2 Plus as in overall.
MiUi is full of ads, yes some bugs, but at least they are on steroid with their update cycle I see. My note 5 pro isn't yet a week old, got 10GB update lol. Started with 9.5.x, did, 9.5.11/.13/.14/.15 and now doing 9.2.6. Compare that to Z2 Plus, released with Android 6.0, got one update to nougat, ZUI 2.5 and there it stopped. No patch, no nothing.
If we compare bugs, MiUi is no where close to what ZUI 2.5 had for us.

When A Good Phone Dies.

So my P2 decided to commit Hari Kari and fried it`s charging port and "something" else(new charging port and checkover still resulted in a dead phone).
What should I buy next?
After the battery life of this phone(even after 2 years still managed 2 days and 10-12 hours of SOT) I don`t think I can face going back to "ordinary" phones, so what are my choices other than the Moto G7 power?
Many thanks to the Devs that kept my phone going longer than Lenovo expected
A few I can think of

Buy another P2.
Battery was maybe busted, below up with the first charging port. 2nd charging port doesn't blow up cos battery already gone.
