i was waiting for m4 aqua, now changed waiting mode for m5
i hope it will have good development of roms and kernels
I am also waiting for M5.
m5 all the way .. hope the battery performance n camera performance is gre8 .... i really really want the m5 to click gre8 photos with its cam ....
M5 seems to be a nice upper midranger with one exception. Bezels. They're massive. They're ugly. They're a disgrace. Even the HTC One M8 has smaller bezels but unlike M5 it has powerful stereo speakers! Z3 has been criticized for big bezels while they're actually ok and nothing about the M5 when it's much worse in this department?

I do think that the xperia m5 is more appealing than c5 ultra . It's specifications are just right and balanced.
Today i see someone succesfully boot Android N on Xperia L. Which is Xperia L has a same proccesor with Redmi 1S (snapdragon 400) Maybe we can port the ROM into our device. What do you guys think about?

As far as I could gather, yes, it is possible to get Nougat.
Things we will NOT GET, because of the GPU we have are: OpenGL 3.1 / Vulkan. Those two are only embedded in Adreno 400 and upwards.
This would mean that there is a chance for problems with games that might migrate above OpenGL 3.0 (which we have).
As far as I'm aware, the differences between 3.1 and 3.0 are in the addition of new libraries, so if the game needs those new libraries 100% and doesn't offer a fallback option, we won't be able to play them.

Actually not a problem of xiaomi but of **** Google.
This is Android (and OEMs and Qualcomm) not looking far ahead to support devices. They don’t care about customers. After sale support non-existent.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5s (same age as Nexus 5) with iOS 10 and later? Because Apple made it compatible with METAL apk from day 1. Because it has hardware encryption since day 1.
Why is Apple able to support iPhone 5 (4 years old) with iOS 10? Because Apple is willing to!!! IPhone 5 does not support METAL nor does it have ARMv8 chip…yet iPhone 5 is getting iOS 10…minus raise to speak to Siri…it is getting 99% of iOS 10 features.
Remember, major software updates also bring with it security features beyond “monthly patches.”
So, with all the resources of software (Google) and hardware (OEM’s and Qualcomm), Android cannot support Nexu 5 and the likes?! It is like buying a laptop (since most phones cost the same) and can only use it for 2 years. That’s insane!
When will Android community wake up and demand more? Google, OEMs, and Qualcomm will only listen if money talks.
And it is this crap that explains horrible re-sale value of Android flagships!
I went to live chat on sony website and the guy confirmed it will get official update.Screenshot bellow.
its not officially on the list yet so I don't think its any time soon
http://support.sonymobile.com/au/xperiam5/kb/8019307401646073d015693290721003ab2/
I know its not on the list but they only put newest devices and flagships,but it will eventually get nougat,thats whats important

Learning.
I believe Sony forgot they made an M5. Still running Sep 2016 security patches and on Marshmallow. Like what the hell.

How is it that there aren't Nougat or Oreo LineageOS ROMs for the M5 available right now?

Unless Sony wants to pay MediaTek for the source code for Helio X10, Sony Xperia M5 will not receive Android Nougat update
First and last Mediatek device in this household ...

Apparently they are not official at the end. But worse: not complete. Practically all Helio X10 devices from all manufacturers hardly saw further development....

The only terrible thing about the M5 has been that apparently Sony forgot they made it, as they're into the business of selling "new" phones even when hardware-wise there ain't a real upgrade, consider the specs of M5 vs XA1, a model which is properly going to be updated to oreo by the way.

Commercially wise "sure", it's an older release, but spec-wise the M5 has some features the XA1 has not, such as IP68 water resistance, Full HD screen, 4k video recording plus a 13 MP selfie camera, and slightly higher capacity battery.
As for benchmark scores... on GeekBench 4:
Xperia M5: 768 Single-Core, 4393 Multi-Core
Xperia XA1: 822 Single-Core, 3704 Multi-Core
and on Antutu 6:
Xperia M5: 53840
Xperia XA1: 60596

It might be because sony released the m5 then they discontinued all series and started the X
Hello!
So I love BIG phones...which you probably guessed since I use the Z3 Tablet Compact as my phone.
Still I would like to have some newer tech on my phone, like MUCH better camera than the very bad ones on my Z3. No my phone is not my main camera but its nice to have something better. Also with built in flash (for flashlight usage). Not to mention more internal space and OLED screen.
Sadly there are no phones that can replace my Z3 and make me 100% happy since these days all phones have what I like to call the hotdog form factor.
My ideal phone would be like my old Mediapad X2 format and size with smaller bezels and newer hardware...but for now, this skinny form factor trend continues so looks like the best I could do for now is the 7.2" Mate 20x.
Has anyone gone from a Z3 to the Mate 20x?
I will be using it with AT&T and going for the L29 version. Likely will add some Squaretrade warranty when buying from Amazon.
Some recent feedback from the phone owners would be nice. One thing that got me holding back (aside from still hoping someone bringing a big 16:9 or 16:10 phone) is the fact that there is a Huawei 30...so I was wondering if a 30x is not too far off from being announced.
Thanks!
I still miss my old zenfone 3 ultra, but only phone who was getting close to it is my m20x... But really dont like 19:9... Miss the 16:9 a lot.

Oh I remember considering the zeonfone although dont recall why I didnt get one in the end. So you can imagine, coming from even bigger phones like the Mediapad X2 and the Z3 Tablet Compact...going to a smaller (thanks to the lame aspect ratio) phone is worrying me.
Guess I will just get one and test drive it before I sell my Z3
Looking at Z3 tablet form factor, ideal upgrade for you would be Mediapad M5 8. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9092&idPhone2=6633
Maybe M6 is also coming soon.
Also consider this for taking calls on the go. https://consumer.huawei.com/sg/wearables/talkband-b5/
I have had various large phablets and tablets that I used as a phone as well, such as the Dell Streak (remember that one!), Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3, Sony Xperia Z Ultra, Huawei MediaPad X1, X2, M2, M3, M5 8.4, Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and Xiaomi Mi Max 3.
Recently I switched from my MediaPad M5 8.4 LTE to, briefly a Samsung Galaxy Note9, and now a Huawei Mate 20X.
The main reasons were that the M5 was getting slow and had this annoying Huawei memory cleanup app that I could not get rid off, it did not have dual SIM plus sufficient storage and it was just not comfortable to use as a camera and the camera sucks as well.
I still have the M5 but ever since I got the 20X i do not use the M5 anymore, not even at home on the couch.
I would like to have root but on the other hand I don't really miss much without it. I use Nova Launcher with different themes and I can change fonts with an app from Google Play. And I save a lot of time by not having to mess with custom ROM's etc.
The battery life of the 20X is awesome and it fits my hands fine, although I prefer it would be lighter.
And I wish they would offer the international version with 256GB as well.
I was watching movies on my Mediapad M3 8.4. I am selling it and getting the Mate 20 X.
Is anyone switching from a bigger tablet to a Mate 20 X and or prefer watching movies on Mate 20 X? Is it big enough to watch streaming content?

I too had pretty much same devices as you. starting from dell streak( it was one of a kind in looks in those days), galaxy note 1, mega 6.3, mediapad x1, x2, m3, xiaomi mix, honor note 10, mate 20x.
with mediapad x2, i always wished it to have lesser non screen area. i think 20x fits screen and size part pretty well.
Hej, i was thinking of buying a used xperia Z1 compact, or a Z2 etc, an older Sony xperia.
I read some guides that explain you can install android 8 or even 9 on them, is this reliable? Obviously, a Z1 or Z2 or anything that old will be having an older android OS, limiting the phone to various apps and features.
By installing/modding a Z1 compact with android 9, would i get all the modern features that a 'modern' phone would have, that is equipped with Oreo or Pie?
Also, the Z1 compact can be rooted/modded to have 120fps/4k video recording already since 2014, will one get this functionality by installing android 8 or 9?
https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-and-z1-compact-get-4k-and-120-fps-video-recording/
Found the below guides for installing a newer android, but these guides seem not so great?
http://theupgradeguide.com/2019/10/...a-z1-compact-resurrection-remix-how-to-guide/
Those phones can be had rather cheap used, and i really like those phones. Have one with a shattered screen, but fixing that would be more costly then getting another one used.
Also, another question, a Z2 which screen doesnt respond sometimes to touch, is that generally a software or hardware problem?
Thanks alot for the input! :highfive:
