Do you guys recommend this phone? I've seen videos and all that, but I also want to have some users feedbacks about this little 5.5 inches guy. Performance, roms support? I don't know here but in Samsung forums is pretty common to ear that roms are problematic due to Samsung not releasing drivers.
In brief, I have a galaxy s4, is this phone worth it?

about the same no official bootloader unlock but does have a work around d850bl model here i like the few roms that are here personly i owned the g2 now the g3 over the last 2 years and they ed had ups and downs but over all damn good phone i recomend a otterbox and steer clear of tempered glass screen protectors i use one but they are pretty thick and reduce touch acuracy a bunch
---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------
further more battery life gaming and everything else i do it has held its own the whole way i use cloudy g3 2.5 a lollipop rom and i implented a few fixes but again its held its own
This phone is a beast.Great performance,camera but I have some issues such as less battery life and overheating.Other than that,it's a great phone.
Those are things that call my attention, battery and overheating. Is it too noticeable or is it present in all g3's?

i have decent decent battery life im off charger about 17 hours about 5 hours screen on time with heavy internet browsing im usaully at about 40% i turn off all animations no live walpaper use the stock keyboards and all thought and again i use cloudy rom i used to overheat but hasnt done it in a long time i was on stock then by the way if u google it there are plenty of fixxes for overheating and batterylife
heck i was thinking about it and anymore the only time i feel mine get warm is when backing up restoring or flashing most of the custom roms have already takin carenof the over heating issue butnbattery life depends on you.my setup i dont face book. everything is shut off just about in all settings data and location off except when i need them even constant rebooting drains battery no task managers i manually stop apps when im done if i dont need them even predictive text and stuff like that drains battery
Here's what I can honestly say about this phone, if you are a person who's sticking to stock rom, stock phone, stay away from this phone because you cannot unleash a beast sleeping while staying stock. But if you are a person who likes modifying, taking risk, and tweaking this phone is for you. I am a very happy user of LG g3 d855 using cloudy 2.5 rom with combination of stock kernel , trickster mod, ctt mod, volume booster mod (using script), thermal paste modification, and last zero lemon battery 9,000 mah, now i can finally say that this is a phone that would respond to what i want as a heavy mobile gamer, Angel stone, vain glory, The world boss ll, wonder5 masters = all high settings with max temp of 60'c - 65'c (depends on temperature / weather / climate ) with playtime of 16 hours of non stop gaming.
very well put i completley 2nd that i havnt done the thermall paste yet i bought a extra screen and digitizer figured id wait til the day i bust the screen im a mechanic so im hard on phones naturally and itll happen one day
Your comments are pretty useful, thank you guys.
I've been reading about the thermal paste thing. It doesn't seem like a thing I'd do.
Just hoping that if I buy this phone, I can have one of those G3's that don't get too warm.
Btw, I do am one of those people who like to tweak, root, whatever the device ?

And of course, I'm conscious that every single device out there gets heat up, but in specific situations like gaming, browsing, etc. It's just that I won't like to have a phone that overheats just by using whatsapp or listening to music.

Hi guys,
Actually the battery life of my Mi 5s doesn't satisfy me.
Previously I owned a Mi 5, and battery life was better!
And this is uncommon, because Mi 5s should have a better battery life than Mi 5.
Also, phone is often hot.
I've tried many roms, nothing changed.
Anyone with the same issue?
In the beginning this was also the case for me, but after flashing newer firmware versions it got way better.
I think no because my friends buy new mi5s and he have very good battery life but my mi5 very bad battery life.
I have 4-5 s.o.t daily usage
My friend mi5s 6-7 s.o.t daily usage ( he and me same usage ) whatsapp browser camera ...

Which firmware are you using now? How about of Sot?
I don't know, sometimes I think my battery could be faulty.
Not sure about SOT, but it lasts the entire day without a problem under medium use with the screen on more often than most people do. So it will indeed be around the 7 hours like bugra333 says. I use the latest official LineageOS build.
The firmware is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72580452&postcount=663
/EDIT: Do also check if some app isn't draining your battery too much. Some bugs may cause this behaviour.
And with Miui do you have similar results?
Worse than currently, but not quite sure by how much.
Anyone else?
i have over 6 hours of sot on xiaomi eu rom, official miui, rr and mokee. official los gives just over 5 hours for me
My mi5s is the only Xiaomi to ever disappoint. The battery is so bad that i never take the phone out of the house. I use it mostly to run the incredible Xiaomi vacuum. As others have noted, the phone runs abnormally hot and that is a huge waste of power. Source of the power loss is unknown. Also, there isn't a Sim card in the phone, so it's not the radio. Global 9.5.2 makes no difference.

About heating I can't be of help because I dislike computer gaming, about custom ROM on this particular device which was born for just specific countries, on particular I'm referring to Chinese version, I think that it worth to flash to obtain a more tailored system. About the purchase today I will opt for a newer device since zuk z2 it's not the latest and as you probably know technology runs very fast.

I have this device since 2months and I never had any overheating issues. But if you don't want to flash a custom rom, then I will recommend you to buy a xiaomi, you can maybe wait 2 months and buy the redmi 5

ok then i think its better to move towards another brand
The best bet would be to purchase the phone and use it as much as you can and burn the phone ASAP and claim your warranty in this way there will be a lot of trouble for Lenovo Customer Services, and if they see this issue then only their developers will take steps to ensure optimum customization & performance with no heating solution.
This Mobile is at its EOL and that is the only purpose the mobile prices are reduced so much in India, Lenovo is looking forward with its MOTO brand and leaving behind its ZUK brand.
If you really don't care about warranty just download the unlock bootloader file and use your choice of ROM, and even if there is some damage, just revert back to original stock rom and claim your warranty.
But the best bet would be to continue @ the stock ROM and if the heating issue persists just try to burn the phone, in this way your are legally good to go and you can claim your warranty.

#1 - 3/32 version - don't buy, 4/64 version - yes
#2 - no
#3 - somewhat.. but now I am on custom rom, there is no heating
#4 - if you can't or don't want to install custom rom, yes go for another.... and best at this range only one phone is there - xiaomi note 4
But I will still rate this phone better than that... Because of size and it never hanged..
thanks for ur valuable opinions...
Hey I'm using Zuk z2 plus it's been around 3 weeks
Honestly speaking for me I haven't come across much heating issue. But once as I was using Arrow launcher one day it started to heat itself don't know why ?? But it started to be heating all the time even if I don't use it . Then I formatted my device .Since then there's hasn't be much issue
The phone has cool battery and quick recharge

I know this review doesn't even matter anymore because you should have already purchased a new phone. And with the device being outdated and the company shut down.. This is meaningless, yet I wrote this because phone is still selling quite nicely in my country(India) and some new users can use this review.
1) There's no heating issue unless the phone is used for gaming for a quite duration like 1 hour continuously. But that's natural right ?
2) The heating issue shows up in Summer.
Just a day before I wrote this review, my room temperature was 38 Degree Celcius and phone started lagging even when I watched just a single youtube video. I Thought I must be dreaming. SD 820 and lag ? Even decided to take a stupid step and checked Antutu scores (as I knew they will drop when heating occurs) And Surprise ! The Score was 53K ? I reset the phone thinking that Rom might be misbehaving as this is my 1st device that I haven't reset in 2.5 months. Again with an Antutu test I get 85K ?
So this is just atmospheric heat. My guess was just that to keep the costs low, they might have used the low quality materials. But who knows ? I'm not aware much about heat dissipation system used in Z2.
Conclusion : If you're a heavy gamer, don't go for this phone. Plus my review is based on Stock Rom. I haven't yet void my warranty. ? Custom Rom might even be different but Hardware issues wouldn't be solved that easily.. An average user can go for this phone with eyes closed. You won't get such an astonishing SoC at this price.
Verdict : I used phones like LG G3 Beat and Samsung Galaxy S5 before this one. I feel that touchscreen on this phone isn't as smooth as the other phones. Even mid or low-ranged Oppo and Xiaomi have better touch response. Again I might be wrong as I haven't used Custom ROM yet. But I'll update this review for sure after using custom ROMs on this phone. Would hardly take 1-2 months. ?

Hi! Any Updates?
Hello everyone
I've mi6 since last week and from beginning got a problem with battery, when I'm not using my mi6 it's almost always warm, not hot but warm and battery is using like 10 % per hour.
Had it with global rom si decided to unlock bootloader and installed miui 9 ver 7.8.10 but here is the same problem as well.
Got apps that I used on all my previous smartphones nothing new here so doubt its the problem with apps.
Disabled miui battery optimization.
When installed roms I did full wipe from twrp.
If software has changed and issue is the same, maybe it's a hardware problem. Replace the battery. If the warranty is valid reinstall global fastboot ROM before sending it to be repaired.
Write here what happened. Good luck.

Hi, I have the same thing, in my opinion this is a hardware problem. I am sending the phone for warranty repair.
Had the same issue, hard reset helped.
For me not.
10% per hr is a problem.
The battery is so good on mine, if I don't touch the phone it's like 10% over days!
Mine have the same problem after copying system files from my old phone (redmi note 3) using mi mover.. After hard reset, everything runs well no draining or heating.
try clean install the 7.8.17, i believe this is the best till now.
Hi,
as the title suggests this smartphone is currently my top pick, i have a tight budget (120 euros/140 dollars); and the Le pro 3 sits comfortably at 116 euros shipped.
Would you recommend it? I have zero experience with modding but i'd like to learn; are the chanches of hard bricking it (x722) high? I would not be able to replace it for while.
Thanks!
At this price you can't get any better.
A few phones at this range might have a bet camera and the official support is almost non-existent, but it's beautiful, well-constructed, has good battery, a good community and it's super fast and smooth. Is runs everything without lags and the processor is equivalent with the ones of iPhone 6s Plus and Samsung Galaxy S7, 300€/400€ phones.
There are currently 13 Oreo ROMS for it and will surely be more, P included.
As long as you flash files compatible with x722, you will not brick it.
Normally, it costs 150€, so run for it. NOW!
P.S. I think you posted in the wrong place, maybe you can ask a moderator to move the topic.

My bad, i thought this was the right section, sorry.
It still worth it AS A FLAGSHIP.
why should be worth? you have a "OnePlus3" inside as hardware.
The right place would have been the questions and answers section.
Just make sure you use the ROMs for the x722 some are universal some are not if you stick with the le pro 3 elite x722 development section you'll be pretty safe as long as you're careful and read everything in the first post you should be OK just make sure and do a full backup in twrp and copy it to your PC in case of problems. If your unsure about something don't do it till you're certain you understand the guide. Good luck
Yes and no.
If you want a phone that just works then get something else. Yeah, the Le Pro 3 has better looks and internals than other phones but the software is never perfect.
Currently all Oreo Roms drain the battery pretty fast, battery life is still good but not outstanding anymore. Also there are always some other minor issues like a wonky signal, app crashes as so forth.
The Redmi Note 4 or Mi A1 are the obvious other choice. You're getting a more "stable" package but the phones don't feel as premium, the RN4 also has worse camera.

Ah ... bullcrap. What does it mean "Oreo..drain the battery pretty fast"?
In technical terms, I charge the battery in the range 20-85%, and this delta of 65% = 2,645 mAh.
That charge lasts me a week (my Nokia E71 would not last that long).
Standby discharge + some usage = avg. 0.5%/hr (20mA/hr), airplane mode overnite = 0.1%/hr (4 mA/hr)
Maybe A1 with Nougat lasts longer with smaller battery, than X72x with Oreo...
And the RN4? To beg the commies for letting me to unlock my phone?
Really?
At this moment, the X722s (X720s long gone) are disappearing from the [Chinese] warehouses, ergo the price went over $200,
but if one doesn't have to pay any duties/taxes ... it is still a bargain for this 2 years old phone. https://tinyurl.com/ydamcw9y

Don't worry, the phone is fine. The battery still lasts quite long but I haven't gotten 9h screen on time on any Oreo ROM anymore. Things are constantly improving, you just need to spend a little time to reading the forums and flashing a new ROM now and then.

For me, Oreo doesn't drain the battery, i can play demanding games for 6 hours. SOT can last for days(and I'm using performance mode)

Don't worry. I have 8h/9h of SOT with AEX rom and Blackscreen kernel.

After skimming throught the forum i think i'm going to flash AICP, it comes with a kernel that should help tuning performace/battery, right?
