Need help to buy G3.

Hi everybody. I'm going to buy a G3 for my sister. I am in USA atm but my sister is gonna use it in Turkey. So she needs an unlocked version of the phone. I was searching on aliexpress and found that seller. Both seller's and product's ratings are high. My question is that there are some versions of the phone, I wasn't sure if she can use the phone in Turkey if I buy the US version "D850" which is $250. Otherwise I'll buy the D855 EU version which is $313. So what do you think about it? I can't copy the link because I'm a new member. But I can email it though. Thanks everyone.

Don't buy g3. I switched my g2 with g3 and I wish I didn't. G3 is so lame. Don't buy it. Also I'm from Turkey and if you send phone from US to Turkey it must be passport registered and also must have sim unlocked. So listen my words and don't buy g3 and don't send another phone from US to Turkey. There is so much work to do and not worth it.

You failed to give one proper argument why not to but the G3.
OP, if it were me, I'd go for a D802 (G2 international). The G3 has QHD (not that good, too), removable battery (relatively irrelevant, but good because the battery life is rather horrid) and a micro SD slot (if you really really need it). All of which, IMO, not worth it.

Yeah sorry about that I was on the road. G3 sucks because of overheating, quick battery drain and it's really slow for that 2,5 processor. I switched from g2 to g3 for Android M update but M update will not solve those issues I guess.

You have to know what bands are using on turkey.
I'm from Argentina, we use band 4 and 17 to lte/4g networks so d850 from AT&T works perfect here.
Before this g3 i haved d855ar (an international version maded in Argentina with open bands) and I can tell you the d850 works much better than d855ar.
Another point is ram. I readed so much people saying "3gb and 2gb works equally well", now, with the 3gb ram version on my hands and 2gb version on my table I can say that's not true! The difference is appreciated. So, if you can and the bands match with turkey operators buy 3gb ram version.

Dual Sim - Any owners that can reply

I have finally ordered Dual Sim Z2 Play from Amazon and i have received it today. I opened the Sim Tray, and i am bit confused as it seem it's not the dual version. Can you please check the following pictures? If an owner of the dual sim z2 play can see this thread and verify me about this. How to host the 2 sim cards? As i see a plastic black and then the area for one sim card. Amazon replied me that i have bought a dual sim phone, but till now seems not.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

You bought the mono sim version. The dual sim in the sim side have two slot.
For example:

I tried to move a bit the plastic that exist on the sim 2 slot, and it removed, so now the tray is the same as the picture u posted. Though when i put the tray back, only one is recognized. I emailed again Amazon and their response is:
"
This is Prince from Amazon.it Customer Service, and It's a pleasure to assist you again.
Upon your request, I've double checked the "Motorola Moto Z2 Play Smartphone da 5,5 pollici FHD AMOLED, 4GB RAM, 64 GB ROM, Snapdragon 626 Octa-core 2,2 GHz, 12 MP Camera, 4G LTE, Android 7.1.1, Grigio Lunare" purchased in your order 408-4458000-8550715.
I found in the description that The phone is dual SIM with the ability to add the microSD (SIM1 + SIM2 + microSD at the same time).
So if you want to know more of the installing SIM cards way, Kindly follow the instructions of the manual book attached with the phone."
I bit confused of what is the problem

Are you italian? I'm also. Are you sure that you have bought the reteu and not the Tim version, that is branded and mono sim? The two version are both avaible in Amazon It, the Tim version with a lower price.
Send a screenshot of system info, to check in is reteu or a branded version. Above mine, where you can read "reteu".
However the sim tray in the two version is the same, with a cup to cover the second sim slot in mono sim, like yours. Obviously in the mono sim the second doesn't work even if you use the dual sim tray or, as you do, remove the cup.

Nope, just found the deal on amazon it wharehouse deals. I suspect its the tim version, as when i am trying to boot it, i see the TIM logo. I am just shocked a bit, that Amazon itself doesnt know what phone they sell

I will return the phone back then, its sure i can't enable it without going to other measures, like root, unlock the bootloader, etc right?

In the calale software, it says timit

In the moto z play i read in the past that is possible enable dual sim in mono version. On the z2 i suppose also but i don't know how. In any case the branded version have also other problem, expecially with Tim that is famous for their weird support of updates in their branded phones.
I suggest to you to return the phone and buy the right version.
If sw Channel is timit is the Tim Italy version

Return the device and if possible get some other device in this range. This phone is expensive with mediocre hardware.

For me this is perfect phone, amoled screen, 2sims + SD at the same time and most important - 3.5 jack! and I bought Moto turbo power first day, so 6500 mAh battery.
Point me to some other device that has it all with better CPU and stock android. Good luck

These were the same points i thought, but i could live without a memory card, so i would have gone for Oneplus 5 that time. It was not much difference moneywise but sepcs wise its better.

I was thinking about OnePlus as well. But the CPU in z2 play is not bad at all, handles all tasks smooth and it is not power hungry. Never had any unwanted reboot nor lags.
Anyway, I had some good phones lately because of my work, iPhone 7, X, android 6p, 5x, pixel xl. This is clear winner for me among them, may not be top CPU performer, nor the nicest (X was very impressive with its screen, but gestures and no fingerprint sensor ruined it for me), but build quality is comparable, and battery life with turbo mod is outstanding, bulky a bit but I favour it over thinnes of the other devices and no headphone jack, no sd slot, no dual sim.

Dual sim lg g7

Hello mates,
I'd like to ask you if it is possible to convert an lg g7 thinq "single sim" to "dual sim" in some way or if it exists any good adapter to do it.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks in advance!

The microsd slot actually can serve as another sim slot if you turn it sideways

Not every module actually supports it even when there is a place for it.

It seems that the hardware is there but it's disabled. IDK how to enable it but even if I could there is no IMEI for the second sim.

After watching the jerryrigs vid about the LG G7 and seeing some VNese vids about the converting process of the korean Samsung s8 and more, I kinda believe that the possibility is there, but it'll take time til someone figure it out. I have the LM G710N korean single sim variant and also want to convert it to dual sim.

I think it will easier to buy one adapter like those sold on simore website.
The only problem is the price...

Mate 20 X 5G Final Specs Emerge [Disappointing!]

I have been waiting to get my hands on the Mate 20X 5G model for a while. It is now becoming more widely available around the world (Kuwait, UAE, Finland, Switzerland and China and the UK by the end of July as the T-ban has been partially lifted, Lol). Here are all the key differences between the ORIGINAL version and the 5G variant and some are very disappointing. I think I will skip this version and wait for the Mate 30X or the Mate X.
In the meantime, if anyone has bought the new 5G model, you can update the thread with more information.
Model Number: EVR-N29 International Version/EVR-N00 Asia Version
THE GOOD NEWS:
Networks: 2G-4G on original vs 2G-5G SA/NSA on the 5G model
RAM: 8GB identical to the memory size of the China version with 8GB/256GB
ROM: 256GB identical to the memory size of the China version with 256GB/8GB
GooglePlayStore: Included on the original International model vs also included on the 5g model (except the Asia variant which does not include GooglePlayStore)
Charging: 40W Super Charge vs 22W Super Charge on the original.
Wireless Charging: Included (according to unboxing videos online, but not 100% confirmed) vs Not Included on any of the Original variants
Colour: Emerald Green vs 2 colours on the original (Good for some and possibly bad for some)
NOW THE BAD, THE REALLY BAD NEWS:
Battery: 4200mAh vs 5000mAh on the original
Headphone Jack: No Headphone Jack vs the Original with the Headphone Jack and 3.5mm headphones (5g model comes with Type C headphones)
Speakers: Single Stereo Speaker only (top speaker has been removed) vs Dual Stereo Speakers on the original variants

Damn so many downgrades.
Wont be surprised if the the reason is to put 5g antennas.

I wouldn't change the Mate 20 X for the 5g variant for only one reason : Stereo Speakers... Dangg, this phone is loud ! ?

Here is the official spec sheet:

Both the original and the 5g model has stereo sound but on the 5g model they have reduced the number of speakers from 2 to 1 (top speaker missing).

Rumors about Mate 30 X?

An Global 8GB/256GB was kinda nice, but damn i didn't know about the single speaker and no headphone jack. No 5G model for me than. This is indeed more an downgrade.

Please suggestion: buy that no 5g or wait for 30 X?

I'd wait for 30 X (hopefully there will be one). 5G will take at least a year or two to become universal.

High price in Germany, it will be €1000. Also ''NOW THE BAD, THE REALLY BAD NEWS''
https://www.pcgameshardware.de/Panorama-Thema-233992/News/Huawei-Mate-20-X-5G-Release-1293604/

any news if it can be rooted - flashed ? tnx

is the 5G varient going to be any faster than the EVR-AL00 model with 8/256, when it comes to daily use, or is it going to be the same speed but. just be faster when it comes to surfing the web/ downloading content and streaming? Cause if my daily useage is getting improved then I may step up but, if im not seeing an improved when it comes to using the phone other than that then ill just stick to the OG version.

Totally agree. With these spec reductions and the crazy price tag, we are better off waiting for (hopefully) a Mate 30X with Android or ArkOS or whatever it may be called(BTW, I like the new camera setup on the Mate 30 Pro that has been shown on some renders this week)
If Mate 30X is not released in time, I will just wait for Microsoft to (hopefully) release the Surface phone in January with Android compatibility and the Hybrid Windows 10 OS for mobiles. That I think would be the ultimate phone setup. This I think would be the most credible chance for Microsoft to remain relevant in the mobile space again and offer a good alternative to IOS and Android systems.

Daily use (speed etc…) should be the same as the only addition is a 5G modem (simply for accessing 5g SA/NSA bands) and the removal of some really important features such as the 3.5mm jack, reduction in battery size and the removal of the top speaker. If you can live with these then I would say then you can step up but I would say if 5g is not really important then wait until Mate 30x or another alternative comes. Don't forget IFA 2019 is just around the corner and other brands that are aware of Huawei's success with the original Mate 20x may want to tap into its success model. I must say I had my hopes high for the Mate 20X 5g but now my only option is to either go for Mate X as my first 5G phone or wait for Mate 30x which should have integrated CPU with 5G in-built unlike the 2 chips that are separately positioned on the new Mate 20X 5G. Due to the space management, Huawei appears to have made some serious compromises.
Personally, with 5g rolling out, I would want my next phone to be 5g so that I don't have to think about changing my phone for the next 2-3 years at least. Then hopefully 5g and folding phones will be more common.

The biggest problem in the end could be if this variant will result to be impossible to root or flash with lineageOS IMHO...

Is the china al00 5g or not 5g

Also: will there be soon a separate thread in the forum or will it be in common with the non 5G Mate X 20?

The Only 5G Models are:
EVR-N29 International Version 5G Comes with GooglePlayStore/Google Services Preloaded
EVR-N00 Asia Version 5G No GooglePlayStore/Google Services
The above models are only offered in 8GB/256GB RAM/ROM combinations and only offered in Emerald Green Colour and has 5G printed on the back cover.
All other models/variants are NOT 5G. For example; EVR-L29 is the 6GB/128GB for international markets, EVR-AL00 is the China Version with no GooglePlayStore and is offered in 6GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB variants.

FM RADIO there ???? USA / EU

So we know this year EU / US models have Exynos processor both ( except for Verizon variant ) .
Someone of you on USA VARIANT can tell us if you have FM Radio enabled ? Tis because us in EU that have same identical processor it seems miss FM Radio.

US always gets Snap Dragon processors. Note 10 and Plus both have Snap Dragon 855 in the US, regardless of carrier.

you are wrong.
This year only Verizon Note 10 / + will continue to have Snapdragon

Would you please share with me how you know that to be a fact? All articles that call out the chip in the US are Snapdragon. Samsung wouldn't put a Snapdragon in their phone just for one carrier in one country. It would cost too much. Here, let me start by sharing an article that was update 4 days ago.

Unfortunately, for you he made that claim before the Note 10/+ was "unpacked". He has since said he was wrong. Every reviewer in articles and Youtube that had their hands on a US version said it was a SD 855.

Huh? I literally said US are Snapdragon in my comment you quoted then shared an article to support that comment.

The chipset may support FM radio, but the FM radio requires wired headset/headphone jack to also function as the antennae. Since the note no longer has a headphone Jack what would be the point?

what? note10+ included usb-c headphone. i'm sure that can use as antenna also.

depends if there is room in the standard to recieve radio waves over a pin/wire in the cable. in a headset they generally just wired into a cable to recieve the radio signal. but I'm not sure if USB C would allow them to wire into the earth externally to work as an antenna, but seems most firms are just of the opinion people stream these days, in the UK most of the radio stations have made online streams to account for this.
not ideal if you are limited on data, but it seems that's what most manufacturers and people think these days, the networks just need to catch up on letting people stream more and actually have a fitting data allowance for the speeds of the likes of 5G. (UK networks are working on it with excluding certain services from data use or making unlimited services for reasonable prices)

- I wasn't intending to respond to your comment - but rather was trying to offer supporting information to @wolfgart who was saying that only verizon was snapdragon - my apologies- sorry I caused confusion...

I have preordered Note 10+ 512GB 5G from Verizon, not received yet. I had a long texting session with Samsung about this in their app. They insisted there was no radio receiver, and that there was not one in my Note 8 either! After much discussion they agreed for the Note 8 that I had, it must have been an "undocumented" hardware feature. So... who knows!
