I have tried multiple charger/cable combinations and haven't been able to get quickcharge to work. I bought a cheap supposedly QC3.0 compliant charger from China and tried that with the original leads and then some leads I got off of Amazon and just worked normally, then I bought a pricier, well reviewed Anker QC3.0 charger from amazon and cables that were advertised as QC3.0 compatible and still wouldn't work. Then tried the same setup with my friend's HTC 10 and boom! quickcharge.
I should mention that I was on the official Indian 2.0.111 ST ROM that was an OTA update from 2.0.093 that I flashed after getting a vendor ROM, so as official as it gets. The phone is advertised as QC3.0-compatible so either someone cocked it up or they haven't had the time to enable the function. Roumor has it that we're getting ZUI 2.5 next week so maybe then.

We were talking about the standard version Z2131 (not the Pro Z2121), which unfortunately does not have Quick Charge 3.0 enabled.
So it supports or not because gsmarena says it supports so do reviewers but i don't have a quick charger to very .Should i buy one?
The ZUK Z2/Plus doesn't have QC 3.0, I have tried a QC 3.0 Power Bank and a AC Adapter to no avail.
I did a test on this, basically the Z2 (non-pro) will charge SLOWER with a QC charger than with the stock charger. Having said that, the standard charger is not that slow (104 minutes 0-100%), which is faster than Google Pixel XL which has similar 3450mah.
I wrote more information and graphs here:

nvm
The word out there is that maybe the phone supports it but the kernel doesn't and no one is willing to modify the kernel for this because its risky. One thing is brick your phone and making it useless by doing so another thing is taking the risk of the phone blowing up or burst into flames. Even if someone changes the kernel for some reason and is irresponsible enough to make it available I will not flash it. It is just too risky. Only if Lenovo releases it someday (which I doubt it) I will then put it in my phone. I also bought a QC3.0 charger only to realize it didn't work.
Doesnt support it. Maybe QC 2.0
I have tested QC on stock 2.5 ZUI as well as on MOKEE 61.1 and 71.1
One thing Im sure about that when my Le Pro 3 wasnt dead, it charged its 4070mAH battery in 1:30 minutes while Zuk Z2 takes 2 hours to charge on same cable and adapter. Whatever they advertise it as, isnt being delivered. No idea if kernel cocked it up or really the hardware doesnt have support for it.

Hey guys
So I'm here asking about the question in the title
I want to know whether the kernel sources are released by OEM or not ?
And I'm getting this phone for only 15K INR
Is there any android developement like custom roms possible on this phone ?? OR should I buy redmi note 4 which has a better support ??
I don't want to switch devices for few more years
Please help me here
That are two phones hard to compare.. snapdragon 820 vs 625, 5inch vs 5.5inch etc, fingerprint on front vs on the back etc... how should we know what you need or want?
Both are great..
And for custom roms > how about if you look into the roms, kernels, recovery.. section? Dont be so lazy man

Warning: Very long story
My purchase of 3Gb variant of Redmi Note 4 was final but could not buy it (everything happens for a good) as delivery was not available by flipkart in my area. I was very sad and finally decided to buy a new, seal packed Redmi Note 3 from ebay at Rs. 9300 (Rs. 10400 was listed price, after applying coupons it became Rs. 9300) as it had performance and recently got franco kernel too (previously available only on Pixels, Nexus and One Plus devices). Finally saw Lenovo Z2 Plus on Snapdeal for Rs. 12000 and immediately purchased it (was hesitant at first reading reviews on Amazon but could not resist SD 820 at this price).
The phone is great, no heating issues and was much better than Redmi Note 3 (Screen quality, camera quality, general performance, looks) when compared side by side as my friend had one. Battery is also good, I get 5-6 hours Screen on time on 4G network with hotspot on and around 7-8 hours SoT on WiFi.
About development, both devices have great roms but Redmi Note 4 has no custom kernel as kernel source codes are not released currently but may or will get them in future when sources are released. Also if you want to be like a trickster and change TV channels of any TV in lobby of any hospital/Hotel, go for Xiaomi phones as they have IR blaster.
The Z2 Plus recently got official Nougat whereas Redmi Note 3 and 4 are still on Marshmallow but that does not matter as you are planning to use a custom rom and all three have 7.1.2 Nougat custom roms.
Conclusion
If you like very good developer support with some good performance, go for Redmi Note 3
If you like development with superior battery life, go for Redmi Note 4
If you want a phone with sheer raw power and the one that does not slow down even after 3 years and a great value for money and brag among friends, go for Z2 Plus.
Currently Z2 Plus is available at Rs.13000 at Snapdeal but wait for amazon sale on 11th, previously at an Amazon sale, it was available for 12K and if you get any bank discount (sometimes 10 to 15% off on SBI Card etc during sale), you can get it for 10-11K too.
Go for the black one, it looks very good
Hope this helps
You can also watch reviews and comparison of phones on youtube for better decisions.

I am absolutely agree with hp5942's statements. Development for Z2 is only growing, it will be awesome in a few months. Note 3 has one of the best dev support and will have it for a long time. Note 4 is better looking and feeling than Note 3, but it is less speedy device.
I'm fine with front mounted finger print sensor
I want to use device for at least 2-3 years
Which one do you suggest me ?

For long run always go with the phone with more performance.
My friend still has no performance issues with his Mi4 (SD 800, flagship at that time) even after 2.5 years.

yeah..this phone worth what u paying for.
Why do you guys confuse much. Its good phone for the price. For 13k you are getting snap 820
Its like for the price of audi you getting buggati
Why to get confused. There are minor software hiccups. As you are familiar with xda you can always use custom roms
Hardware wise there are no issues. Build quality is damm solid. I have thrashed my phone many times, but it still survives.
Back glass is lil fragile.

This phone was a worthy buy @18K, it's definitely a steal @12k, but if you can wait, BigBillionDay/GreatIndian sale is around the corner, you might get an even sweeter deal.

I bought z2 plus(4,64gb) @ 9.5k from amazon
(Actually 11k - 1.5k cashback)
So wait for any amazon sale
May be buy it on Diwali
For those not used to pimp their phones (unlock bootloader, flash rom etc...), i think Zuk Z2 is not a good choice as the original version is not perfect. But if you like to flash and customize your phone, so yes, 10 times yes,it's a very good phone (have it for almost 1 year and still happy with it).
Hello everyone ,
Is it possible to install Oneplus 3T battery for Oneplus 3 phone ?
If possible, I want a way to switch the battery.
thnx
Don't think it's possible.
Anyway, the difference is not much, you'll equal it if able to charge around 10 minutes in between full charge.

Search the forum before you start a new thread. Answer is already available at multiple places.
From what I read I think ONEPLUS issue an firmware update to block the phone on boot if it detects a battery from 3t installed. Someone also mentioned that even if you could boot, it would be useless because it won't charge above 3000mah
thnx for all
Hey guys, I need your help. I wish to buy Redmi Note 5 ai 3/32gb (money is an issue otherwise I would've gone for 4/64gb) within a month but I need some information. Could you please provide me information?
1. How much SOT do you usually get with Android Pie based custom ROMs with or without custom kernels?
2. Would I face any lag or Fps drops with 3gb variant while playing Pubg and Heroes Evolved (Mobile Legend like game)?
3. With what graphics requirement do you can play pubg?
4. Does Note 5 ai support QC3.0? I know Xiaomi ships it with qc2.0 adapter cable but I have QC3.0 adapters from my previous device and I will buy qc3.0 cable if it does.
5. How much time does it take to charge from 15% to 80% with stock charger?
Thank you, I really appreciate your answer.

not ugly memeui. I am asking for Pie based custom roms.
I dont think your expectations are realistic when buying a phone for 140usd.. Games run just fine, not at best settings, but good enough. Battery is amazing, and if 6hours of gaming in 1 charge is not good for you, then no device will be good enough, because its a good result. Well except for tablets, or something like mi max 3.

What you're telling $140, its $220 approx while purchasing in our country. 6 hour nonstop gaming is definitely OK but someone mentioned he got 6hour sot with gaming+light usage, that's what bugging me. And I mentioned Android pie custom roms. I saw battery life starts to get deteriorated with newer android version than the phone's original Android version.

Well its your country tax then, but that doesnt change the fact that phone cost 140usd in all eshops. And yes, battery life with custom roms is not as good as stock, not by much, but worse. But its only logical, throughout 10 years of flashing custom roms it was always the same story no matter which phone. As i said before, if this phone is not good enough in this price for you, then i doubt that any phone will be, because atleast in europe, nothing comes even close to price/performance/quality of RN5.

It's the best phone in the 25k segment. Buy it in Flipkart discounted sales where price us as low as 22k. Good software, good cameras, a few minor bugs.
This phone will be getting the Android Q update when it releases.

It's a decent device and you can be ok with 3300 MAH battery , corning gorrilla glass. 3 and lcd display..
go ahead buy it .. Its prices has been reduced and its the best that can be offered by snapdragon 845.
If not you can buy one plus 6T as well.

hi,
I would say avoid it at the moment. There is much price gap with Zenfone 6 and it is a far better phone. If you dont want the Zenfone 6 you can even look at the Redmi k20 pro or the normal variant whichever come to India
I would say it depends on the price, for example in my country I manage to get it at a lower price that the pocophone f1( 350 USD).

Once the Zenfone 6 is available the 5z should drop to at least 300 to 350

Why anyone will think about purchasing a device which doesn't seem to interest xda developer. Earlier there were few hopes but customization of zenfone 5z almost always leads to bricking of device and there's little to no support for unbricking. You won't even be certified on Google Play once u root using the tool provided by asus, making the device completely unsafe for daily use, There are lots of device with great xda support, find out them and forget about zenfone 5z, believe me all they did with ZenUI is limited the device day by day with each new release and soon there'll a day when you hardly get to do anything apart from calling.

Its a very good phone with 845...and an OIS which Z6 lacks....I got 8GB-256GB for 24k in flipkart offer...Wanted to go for 1+7...but after looking at this deal ..i grabbed it...with latest pie update antutu score was 294500 ...Battery drains fast when you play games at high resolution....that is the only issue i found....
