Well, 4 months in and a dead pixel appeared. Considered doing an exchange thru TMo but opted to do LG Repair so I didnt lose the 2 year warranty.
Painless process except for the fact of waiting ...
Repair time was less than 24 hours ... odd how they document the work for dead pixel, but here's what LG says:
Symptom: No image on display screen Repair: Replaced LCD (Main,Sub)
Symptom: Display screen is discolored Repair: Replaced LCD (Main,Sub)
I'll report back once I get the phone back ...
Well that was a joke ...
Phone just arrived back.
Dead pixel is still there.
Here we go again. Looks like the LG I remember is coming back to haunt me.
Hello all , well i got my note 5 pro 20 days ago (global version) , by luck i was holding my old phone (note 3 pro ) and the screen in note 5 was far more yellow than the note 3 , so i went to mi home compare it to the demo phone in their branch i found that my phone screen is worse it was yellow , colors is not accurate . the 3 mods making it worse for color , the standard mode is the best one for color accuracy but the screen become bloody yellow . i can't exchange my phone for a new one cause in here we only have 14 days to replace it . is there any fix for this ?
Hello,
I have just bought a Redmi Note 9 Pro (International Model) and noticed that there is a gap between the front camera and the cutout (see pictures). This causes the LCD backlight to bleed into the camera module which manifests in a pretty unusable front "flash" selfies. The gap is about as thick as the screen glass would be, so there might even be no gap, but just that the edges of the glass aren't painted black to isolate the backlight.
I want to ask if this is normal for this model or should the camera module be completely isolated from the LCD backlight?
Also, what charger is delivered with this phone because I've only got a 18W one and thought that 33W charger should go with the Pro model?
that is not normal, get it replaced. light distribution around the notch is a mess, but that kind of light bleed should be fit for replacement.
the global Redmi Note 9 Pro (almost similar to Redmi Note 9 Pro MAX in india) only comes with 33W charger. Redmi Note 9S(sold as Redmi Note 9 Pro in india) comes with 22W charger

Thank you for the reply.
Went to the shop and they've confirmed that it should be replaced. Since the whole process would take a few days, I'll drop the phone off after the holidays.
Edit: On the other hand, light distribution around the punch hole is pretty good with this defect when compared to the demo unit on display at the shop.
1. As said above, get phone replaced.
2. My phone came with a full speed charger, not sure why you got an 18w charger with it.

1. Phone sent for replacement.
2. It looks like the EU version (at least in my country) comes with a 22.5W charger, same as the 9S which was a bit strange in both cases... The 18W one I have is a replacement (got mine refurbished, not new).
Hows everyone's experience with the rog 6? can it run global rom and will google assistant work with it?
Bricked Stupid update procedure
Doesn't all android phones nowadays work with Google Assistant?
My ROG2 and ROG6 has Google Assistant but I always disable them.
I thought Google requires/mandates all OEM so include some specific Android features and Google-made apps.

They do and I also always disable it too along with a tonof other things from Google. Google Assistant is basically spyware along with most of the other junk from Google. Result is improved privacy and increased device performance/battery life.

That's true but also happens with all company's
The company I trust the less: Apple.
Has been a beautiful experience for me. Most smooth smartphone experience i have ever had. Battery king, performance king, and the only weakness ROG phones have ever had has been fixed with the new sensor - speaking of the camera of course.
with the camera now finally usable, it is the complete package for me. After successfully converting my CN device to WW, i think im staying with this one for a while and selling my S22 Ultra.
you would need to be very careless and not read through instructions / forum threads to brick your device, flashing WW raw files is as simple as a button click.
How do speakers loudness & quality compare with:
- any previous ROG phones
- S22 ultra (just kidding)

The battery life you should be able to achieve with a hardcore debloated and battery optimized ROG 6 should be ridiculous high. My ROG 5 & 3 easily do multiple days on a full charge with data on and normal screen time and can do a week+ on standby with data on as a reference. I haven't bothered measuring the max screen time I get out of them. ROG 6 running on the latest 8+ Gen 1 chipset allegedly has significantly improved power consumption stats - which should result in great battery time even if not heavily optimized and monster results if optimized with battery performance in mind.
Can't wait for my rog 6 pro to arrive. Shipping starts 09.01 .
Imagine developers on xda tweaking the back panel to show battery life/ram or even using own gifs as animation on the back side. I will definitely create some wallpapers or gifs for rom developers as contribution. Not to bad if there isn't any development as the the device is still amazing af.
Hint 1: The device sadly doesn't come with a preinstalled screen protector. But there is one you can purchase on the Asus store.
Hint 2: The devilcase actually has a transparent plastic area so the backside is actually fully protected. (even if it doesn't look like that on the store pictures)
I initially wanted to buy the Redmagic 7s pro but I've noticed too many downsides. Even tho i was pretty satisfied with my red magic 5g over the years.
Rog 6 pro
1. Has better battery life.
2. No translation issues in the software.
3. Water resistance to a specific grade.
4. Brighter screen
5. Higher refreshrate.
6. Better speakers.
7. Two Usb C ports
8. Better camera quality
9. Back panel for visuals
10. More trigger functionality
11. Preorder includes the cooling fan
12. Better network reception and WiFi connectivity for sure
13. HDR10+ support
14. better fine-tuning for custom game presets.
On the other hand the red magic 7s pro has:
1. highest possible performance of the sd 8 + gen1 out of the box without an external cooler.
2. Game core to offload gaming related inputs from the Snapdragon soc.
3. less bezels
4. faster charging
5. aprox 400-600 € cheaper compared to rog 6 pro
Hard choice tho. I've chosen rog 6 pro just because red magic still didn't fix translations issues. I've even seen translation issues on a German youtube review of the red magic 7s pro. What a shame

Its a no contest for me , ROG 6 wins purely because of massive battery and the samsung panel, not to mention the camera.
Also, i can confirm the device DOES have preinstalled screen protector. I bought two devices (CN 256GB and Global 512GB) and they both had it.

You're the one to ask then. Is there that much of a difference in software once you put the CN version into English? Call recording available on the CN version?
How're you liking them? How's battery? Lol thanks
Hi all, did anyone try connecting a type-c to hdmi cable/hub and managed to get it to work? I tried it with a Baseus hdmi+usb hub and Samsung Dex station, both not working. Phone is CN version and connected through the usb 3.1 port with aero-cooler attached to the other port.

Hi, I can confirm it's working on the sided USB-C with Dell USB-C docking station - Dell D3100.
It does work with:
- HDMI signal -> HDMI switch -> Samsung 32"
- mouse Logitech G604
- keyboard G915 does not always work.
- soundcard Creative X G6
It was without Aerocooler with I'm selling since I don't play games. I just wanted to have a fast, smooth smartphone with 512GB of memory to replace my Oneplus 7 Pro 12/256 (it's such a great phone BTW).
Maybe I'm impatient and can't wait for the global version to start shipping but can someone who owns the devil case for rog phone 6 or 6 pro measure the scope vertically and horizontally with the case installed please? I want to order a custom phone bag and don't want to wait for the device to arrive.
I'd be very grateful Thanks!

ROG 6 imo based on stability, battery size and screen from Samsung which is really good.
The thing 7s Pro has is faster charging (it you need that fast) and longer software support which is nice. This software is less good though and less stable (have used the 7)
I had my Mi 11 Lite 4G's fingerprint sensor replaced 3 days before the warranty expired, and then they're broken again in less than 2 weeks.
Fingerprint option disappeared from settings again. A few hours prior to this, the fingerprint sensor was malfunctioning and not recognizing fingerprints.
After I restarted the device, the settings disappeared. Now the warranty expired and I will never pay for a replacement because this might get broken again in a few days.
Might happen to you too. So just get a new phone and don't bother.
Sorry for what happened to you and thanks for the advice
I had the same doubt when I changed fingerprint few days before warranty. They said that the changed part has additional 3 months warranty. You should contact the xiaomi support.
it happened to me just a few months after i bought the phone, i didn't want to replace my unit with warranty so i just bought the fingerprint sensor on ebay and replaced it myself, it works perfectly 7 months later (more than the oem one) and as a bonus i have a transparent back and a blue fingerprint sensor, i higly suggest doing it yourself, it seems that the 3rd party fingerprint sensors don't have any issiues
My wife and I have this phone.
I already changed the sensor 1 time, my wife twice.
It's a design flaw.
