Dear friends,
I'm now on Zuk Z2 Plus 2.0.133 ST (India)
And I've received new notification to update to version 2.5.104 ST (India)
I'd like to ask if it is official and not beta right? Because I've never signed up for any beta program.
As I've heard that on this version has annoying duplicate notifications bug. Is it fixed or it still exists?
Should I update it now, any other known bugs you care to share?
I dare not update if there are still a lot of bugs ongoing. I'll hold back for longer until new better version comes out.
Thank you in advance!
please don't
I have not installed beta but i would definitely say that the update is pathetic.
Phone lags, significant heating issue and battery drains like crazy. Even if i do not play games i could see the temperature spike up to 51C which is unbearable.
Lenovo has done pathetic job providing this update which is of no use at all. I wonder if its a upgrade or downgrade.
I have updated . No issues. Battery improved. Antutu bennchmark is down to 120k.

Yes AnTuTu and Geekbench scores are low on the Indian version of ZUI 2.5.
My AnTuTu score is around 60k. It's surprising to see this score on SD 820.

No, hard reset only deletes your data. It does not alter system files so no rollback

It will delete your all data and apps... And then you could run antutu for fresh benchmarks ...

I was worried about roll back.
Besides I'm planning to unlock bootloader and flash custom ROM soon. Which ROM would you prefer? With voLTE though.

I have just ordered this phone today, will get it maybe before 8th May. After reading a lot of bad reviews on amazon, I am thinking to use it for 3 months before rooting. Redmi note 3 was final but recent deal of SD820 at ₹12000 was too tempting for me.
As far as I have read forums, Jaguar rom seems promising for battery life as well as benchmarks. Try that out

My friend just purchased a Redmi Note 4 32Gb and 3Gb Ram model at 11k with SD 625
Z2 Camera was slightly better in day light but in low light, RN4 camera was slightly better
Cameras are really close, not much difference
Don't know if I had received a broken/bad model but I don't see any lag or heat issues with my device(lenovo z2 plus with Nougat)

About heating I can't be of help because I dislike computer gaming, about custom ROM on this particular device which was born for just specific countries, on particular I'm referring to Chinese version, I think that it worth to flash to obtain a more tailored system. About the purchase today I will opt for a newer device since zuk z2 it's not the latest and as you probably know technology runs very fast.

I have this device since 2months and I never had any overheating issues. But if you don't want to flash a custom rom, then I will recommend you to buy a xiaomi, you can maybe wait 2 months and buy the redmi 5

ok then i think its better to move towards another brand
The best bet would be to purchase the phone and use it as much as you can and burn the phone ASAP and claim your warranty in this way there will be a lot of trouble for Lenovo Customer Services, and if they see this issue then only their developers will take steps to ensure optimum customization & performance with no heating solution.
This Mobile is at its EOL and that is the only purpose the mobile prices are reduced so much in India, Lenovo is looking forward with its MOTO brand and leaving behind its ZUK brand.
If you really don't care about warranty just download the unlock bootloader file and use your choice of ROM, and even if there is some damage, just revert back to original stock rom and claim your warranty.
But the best bet would be to continue @ the stock ROM and if the heating issue persists just try to burn the phone, in this way your are legally good to go and you can claim your warranty.

#2 - no
#3 - somewhat.. but now I am on custom rom, there is no heating
#4 - if you can't or don't want to install custom rom, yes go for another.... and best at this range only one phone is there - xiaomi note 4
But I will still rate this phone better than that... Because of size and it never hanged..
thanks for ur valuable opinions...
Hey I'm using Zuk z2 plus it's been around 3 weeks

The phone has cool battery and quick recharge

I know this review doesn't even matter anymore because you should have already purchased a new phone. And with the device being outdated and the company shut down.. This is meaningless, yet I wrote this because phone is still selling quite nicely in my country(India) and some new users can use this review.
1) There's no heating issue unless the phone is used for gaming for a quite duration like 1 hour continuously. But that's natural right ?
2) The heating issue shows up in Summer.
Just a day before I wrote this review, my room temperature was 38 Degree Celcius and phone started lagging even when I watched just a single youtube video. I Thought I must be dreaming. SD 820 and lag ? Even decided to take a stupid step and checked Antutu scores (as I knew they will drop when heating occurs) And Surprise ! The Score was 53K ? I reset the phone thinking that Rom might be misbehaving as this is my 1st device that I haven't reset in 2.5 months. Again with an Antutu test I get 85K ?
So this is just atmospheric heat. My guess was just that to keep the costs low, they might have used the low quality materials. But who knows ? I'm not aware much about heat dissipation system used in Z2.
Conclusion : If you're a heavy gamer, don't go for this phone. Plus my review is based on Stock Rom. I haven't yet void my warranty. ? Custom Rom might even be different but Hardware issues wouldn't be solved that easily.. An average user can go for this phone with eyes closed. You won't get such an astonishing SoC at this price.
Verdict : I used phones like LG G3 Beat and Samsung Galaxy S5 before this one. I feel that touchscreen on this phone isn't as smooth as the other phones. Even mid or low-ranged Oppo and Xiaomi have better touch response. Again I might be wrong as I haven't used Custom ROM yet. But I'll update this review for sure after using custom ROMs on this phone. Would hardly take 1-2 months. ?

Hi! Any Updates?
Hi,
as the title suggests this smartphone is currently my top pick, i have a tight budget (120 euros/140 dollars); and the Le pro 3 sits comfortably at 116 euros shipped.
Would you recommend it? I have zero experience with modding but i'd like to learn; are the chanches of hard bricking it (x722) high? I would not be able to replace it for while.
Thanks!
At this price you can't get any better.
A few phones at this range might have a bet camera and the official support is almost non-existent, but it's beautiful, well-constructed, has good battery, a good community and it's super fast and smooth. Is runs everything without lags and the processor is equivalent with the ones of iPhone 6s Plus and Samsung Galaxy S7, 300€/400€ phones.
There are currently 13 Oreo ROMS for it and will surely be more, P included.
As long as you flash files compatible with x722, you will not brick it.
Normally, it costs 150€, so run for it. NOW!
P.S. I think you posted in the wrong place, maybe you can ask a moderator to move the topic.

Thanks! Just ordered it
My bad, i thought this was the right section, sorry.
It still worth it AS A FLAGSHIP.
why should be worth? you have a "OnePlus3" inside as hardware.
The right place would have been the questions and answers section.
Just make sure you use the ROMs for the x722 some are universal some are not if you stick with the le pro 3 elite x722 development section you'll be pretty safe as long as you're careful and read everything in the first post you should be OK just make sure and do a full backup in twrp and copy it to your PC in case of problems. If your unsure about something don't do it till you're certain you understand the guide. Good luck
Yes and no.
If you want a phone that just works then get something else. Yeah, the Le Pro 3 has better looks and internals than other phones but the software is never perfect.
Currently all Oreo Roms drain the battery pretty fast, battery life is still good but not outstanding anymore. Also there are always some other minor issues like a wonky signal, app crashes as so forth.
The Redmi Note 4 or Mi A1 are the obvious other choice. You're getting a more "stable" package but the phones don't feel as premium, the RN4 also has worse camera.

Ah ... bullcrap. What does it mean "Oreo..drain the battery pretty fast"?
In technical terms, I charge the battery in the range 20-85%, and this delta of 65% = 2,645 mAh.
That charge lasts me a week (my Nokia E71 would not last that long).
Standby discharge + some usage = avg. 0.5%/hr (20mA/hr), airplane mode overnite = 0.1%/hr (4 mA/hr)
Maybe A1 with Nougat lasts longer with smaller battery, than X72x with Oreo...
And the RN4? To beg the commies for letting me to unlock my phone?
Really?
At this moment, the X722s (X720s long gone) are disappearing from the [Chinese] warehouses, ergo the price went over $200,
but if one doesn't have to pay any duties/taxes ... it is still a bargain for this 2 years old phone. https://tinyurl.com/ydamcw9y

Don't worry, the phone is fine. The battery still lasts quite long but I haven't gotten 9h screen on time on any Oreo ROM anymore. Things are constantly improving, you just need to spend a little time to reading the forums and flashing a new ROM now and then.

Hello,
a few days ago my Mi6 (4GB/64GB) upgraded to Pie (9.5.9 Beta) by OTA.
After that, the phone isnt smooth as in the past.
Sometimes starting apps from links while browsing - like ebay or amazon- fails.
Phone take little brakes.
Soundstreaming to a Bluetooth Soundbox is horrible, many little stops.
Does anyone has the same experience or issues after upgrading?
Best regards Christian
I always have this rule, if i upgrading. Example: from Android 8.0 to 9.0, then i doing full wipe, but older system leaves so many trash in system files.
I install 9.5.9 on my Mi6 128GB with MiFlash and dont have any problems, very stable rom, good battery performance.

The pie update was recalled because of various bugs and a stable update is scheduled to release mid June according to honor forum mods
Maybe we in Europe will get it little bit sooner.I got first update like 2 weeks earlier than India and other regions.At first it was looking all good but i had bugs with touchscreen etc.When i did rolback at 8 then i saw how battery was bad on 9.Hope they will fix all that bugs before they push update again.
Guess rollout started again.I hope they fixed bugs from last one.

Hello there, after 30+ days finally got my F3 in hands, started by uninstalling all bloatware, going to dark mode, stopping xiaomi framework service, all the tweaks to make everything better but I got a weird surprise. My Antutu 3d bench was only around 600k while I was seeing 700k+ being reported on sites, anyone has any idea what could be slowing down my F3? I know that day to day I won't rly be noticing any performance drop but 100k is 100k. Btw, my model is the 8/256 global.

Is that rly how they achv such scores? I know that in between multiple tests it's a rather common technique but in my case I tried single runs after restarting and waiting for the phone to cool off.

Hello there! If you're using Antutu v8, please try with Antutu v9 and you'll get like 50k extra points (I got around 675k). Also, MIUI automatically activates the game turbo for Antutu to rather-dishonestly achieve higher scores. If you have disabled the game turbo mode, you will get lower scores.
I get like 720k
