Currently I've got a Note 4 MTK, for which not a lot of ROM's are available due to MediaTek being annoying. I didn't check carefully when buying it, I saw a lot of ROM's for the Note 4, but that was for the QC version.
Looking to upgrade, and planning to buy from Goldway on AX again, they offer this version.
It is a Snapdragon 636 so that all looks good? And, they say it's already unlocked, which looks great to me.
So it would allow me to install LineageOS straightaway, correct?
I saw this topic as well, but that was about a 3GB version.
Just want to triple check, don't want to make the same mistake again.

Sweet, but anyone know the difference between the 8996 and 8996 pro CPU roms?
Can either rom be used or do you need a specific device?

I agree but I think they probably pushed out what they had at the time...
It was a large amount of waiting for this device, around 6 months from showcase to release....
The person I bought my phone off said it was because ASUS had some supply problems back in August/September., though that could've just been to fob me off too....
Though saying that I really had to pick and choose. Over here in Oz the Zenfone 2 was ever really released, not in stores or through the telco's so this awesome phone won't even get a 2 second blurb in any of the media again... So much for local warranty.....
I am considering of buying this phone, but I am concerned about software update since I dont want to get stuck with Marshmallow forever. and I dont want to deal with custom roms. (dont have the time or patience for that)
So, will this phone receive Nougat?
Don't buy mi5s. Xiaomi doesn't support this model like mi5 or mi max. Still no regular updates released.
Thank you. It seems odd that older model is supported and newer model is not. In that case I will not buy the device. I was planning to hold on to it for about 2-3 years and there is no way I am going to get stuck with Android 6 for that long.
What about the Redmi note 4X? Any chance for this phone to get Nougat?
Have you thought about the mi6?

I did, but I wont buy it for 2 reason
1. Its way more expensive than the mi5s.
2. It doesnt have a global rom yet and I assume it will take some time until it does
For the price of the mi6, I would rather get the OP3t which is cheaper and already updated to latest android

Hi,
It seems ZF5Z is announced around summer, can you confirm and if so shall i wait this model instead of ZF5?
i wanted the Nokia7+ but no unlock, then checked for MI MIx2S or Mi7 but it s expensive, there is a promo in my country for Zf5 (france).
So i dont know if the wait till Zf5Z is worth compare to buying now Zf5.
I come from Honor 5x and i like custom roms so as i have red, it is a device with big potential for this (treble, Snapdragon, source release,..).
Do you confirm ?
Also dont know the difference between :
zenfone-5-ze620kl-1a009eu
and
zenfone-5-ze620kl-1h010eu
EDIT:
Ok this seems to be the color... Never seen a model Nb Changing for color, hope no other diffs between those models
thanks
The ZF5Z just has better cpu/gpu/ram, the rest is identical to the ZF5. Will the bigger price be worth it ? Your call
And what you think between zenfone 5 and redmi note 5 pro ?
whyred got already a bit dev
and as said i do like custom ROM (was kind of flashaolic)
so i wonder if zf5 will have some custom rom in futur as shakalaca said somewhere no build of custom rom (it was on website about twrp unofficial).
the question is in the title ^^, for precision, i would say that, since i have a phone, i use custom roms, the last i had was the samsung galaxy s5, the thing is that, custom roms have recurrent bugs on this device, we had to wait a long time to get a "stable" oreo rom on it, for example, camera and fingerprint were not working for a moment..
so i want to know if roms are stable and smooth on this phone, thanks

If you want custom roms etc just buy a OnePlus or Xiaomi device they're very popular among developers
oneplus are too expansive for me, but yea i heard that roms are perfect on this, and wich one xiaomi should i go with ? i know that xiomis are chinese phones, but do they work well on french bandwidths ?
i see that there's a **** ton of roms on the redmi note 4 "mido", the price is really low

Reason I don't recommend you to jump on the Pixel is not much development is going on, The Device will be EOL on P so Major updates will stop some of the newer budget devices will still have that 2 years OS support and much more custom roms that you're after I think it'll be a better buy, Pixel XL isn't a bad buy by any means just I think better value for your situation is to be had on other devices
Which bands do you need? If you buy from official Xiaomi French store should have your bands but check before buying anything
https://buy.mi.com/fr/buy/product/redmi-note-5
https://www.mi.com/fr/mi-a2/
Mi A2 was just announced will come soon is running Android One, updates should be inline with Pixel Line will have a ton of developement just like the Mi A1 you can see here
Redmi Note 5 also great device a lot of development can see here

The pro is just named that way in other markets I think in india is called the "Redmi Note 5 Pro" But in Europe it's called "Redmi Note 5" Same device just different name
Xiaomi is a bit confusing with it's branding

I am looking to buy a used Marlin as well. The price is much lower then the two phones suggested here. Does anyone have any comments or recommendations? My budget is around $200 USD.

If it has to be a Marlin make sure you buy a non Verizon model as they block bootloader unlock can be a pita to get it unlocked
last I saw you had to pay like $30 to some shady guy to remotely unlock through team viewer...

I got tired of waiting for Samsung not allowing bootloader to be unlocked. I like custom fonts systemwide and custom bootanimation.
Hi, Here's recent similar thread comments:
Also the 9 Pro is an overall great device for my usage...
One plus 9 pro worth buying ?
Looking at upgrading and was wondering if it's worth buying a oneplus 9 Pro what is battery life like how long it last
forum.xda-developers.com
Was looking at custom roms for oneplus 9 pro but it looks confusing wouldn't no where to start
The only flagship Samsung I would reccomend is the N10+ Snapdragon if you can live without a variable refresh rate display and 5G. These features have caused many problems since their implementation including outright hardware failures.
The OP phones are a viable alternative if you want a newer flagship. None of the new Samsung flagships have expandable storage and suffer from poor design balance. You may want to wait 6-8 months and see what comes next if you can. Waiting costs you nothing. It gives you more and better user input of existing models.
I was looking at s22 plus but not really sure but oneplus 9 pro was the phone I was going to get until I got told don't buy it

I left a Galaxy Note 10 for this OP 9 Pro and have not had any regrets....staying on stock OOS11, tried the 12 and didn't like it for the bugs and downgraded back to eleven.

The 9 pro is a great phone. Lots of customization, the screen is really nice, and the camera is awesome too. IDK if you're into rooting and custom roms but there's a ton of options with that too (which you can't really get on Samsung phones.) To say that these are just cheap Chinese phones just isn't true.
Someone told me that the phone was constantly rebooting itself so that's why they told me not to go with it as they said software is not good I have a s10 lite at minute and need a new phone

It isn't a necessity to use custom roms, you can make similar modifications to the stock rom. If you read the instructions very carefully not much can go wrong, and if something does you're almost always able to recover it with msmtool

So will I notice a difference to what I'm using now ( samsung s10 lite ) just don't want to make bad choice
What do you want from a phone????? Features etc!!!
Just something for social media and general Internet
Then go for the OP 9 Pro.....good choice...my wife uses the FitBit sense watch connected to her phone OP9P....
