While the hype is all on One plus and Poco phones, our Zuk 2 plus is an amazing underdog. It's almost three years and the support we get from developers is way amazing. I won't be surprised even if the development support ends in coming years ; it has enough of its days.
Zuk 2 plus will live as one of the best phone ever created by lenovo ?.
A very Big thanks to all the DEVELOPERS for their HARD WORK. Bless you all.

To be sure, it was an accident on Lenovo's part. No thanks to them at all, the device not only survives, but thrives. Android 10 ROMs, even in beta stages, run smooth as butter. Don't number its days yet, I believe the Z2 plus will continue to recieve developer support, in one way or the other, until Android 12. Or so I can hope, and as long as they do, I have no reason to change phones. This is my first smartphone, and it looks like it will last 5 years with ease, with perhaps a battery replacement in a year from now.
ZUK Z2 is great phone
The ZUK Z2 was a good cell phone, but now present someone problems. The most important (for me) is the overheating. For example, when play PUGB the ZUK Z2 it gets really hot. Also happened when i'm browsing or chatting. I haven't no idea, I think battery may be the problem, in a one moment la batería se descarga a nivel de segundos, y la carga era muy lenta. It was solved when you turn off the chance of chance and I turned it again.
Do they have any idea?

i'm planning to buy a phone to keep for atleast 2 years., and i got 3 options. MiA1,Redmi Note 4 and Lenovo z2 plus . The primary requirement are battery life,reliable performance and decent camera. Due to it's powerful processor i thought of giving z2 plus a shot. therefore my questions are how is the battery life really? i'm not a gamer and i mostly browse web. I heard that the camera lens of z2 plus is plastic and scratches easily and is lenovo providing any software updates as of now ? because updates like Airtel VOLTE is much important for me if i'm going to use my phone for 2 years .

Go for mia1(good camera) and z2+(performance)
First of all, to clarify, the camera lens on ZUK Z2 Plus is glass and not plastic, and matches the decent-level requirement you have. So you should definitely consider buying it over Mi A1 due to its superior processing power.

you sure it's glass? since the lens on mine has micro scratches everywhere, although it's not as bad as some sony xperia lens
I am using Z2 Plus and I would agree, MiA1 has much better camera but it's priced higher at present compare to Z2 Plus.
Given the price of Z2 Plus, it's a steal deal if you can compromise with night or low light photography since under daylight, Z2 Plus camera works just fine.
The main attraction of Z2 Plus is the SoC. Nothing comes close to SD820+4GB combo unless you spend at least 3 times more to get the nearest 800 series competition.
Go with A1. That's all i will say. I have Z2 and my sister has A1. The performance difference is really negligible between 625 with clean android build and 820 with crap OS.
I have the same 'problem' but between MiA1 and Zuk Z2 (the normal one, not the plus).
I don't know which buy but I like the 5'' of the Zuk
I've Z2. And if it gets bricked. I would buy it again. It's all a matter of priorities. If you use camera like 15 Pictures Daily, don't but this phone. But if you want to own Flagship grade specs, feel how fast is 2.1 GHz and how much is 4GB RAM, know how fluid Android Experience can get, then buy ZUK.
Since you posted your question here, you'll come to the difference between 625 & 820.

Well I think both models have the same processor, I don't really now which buy, Z2, Z2 plus or Mi A1
Just buy zuk z2.
Then unlock bootloader and flash any oreo rom with hdr+ enabled.
That ll solve your camera problem.
Camera is nt everything. Performance also matters.
And snap 820>>> 625
MiA1 very good camera avg battery
Redmi Note 4 jack of all, master of none, but good battery capacity
Lenovo z2 plus master of all minus low light camera and 5inch if you like,
you will have to use custom roms for updates and better performance at low budget you will get this.
so choose between priorities
Used RN4 first, it lacked the performance and camera. But had an awesome SOT 11HRS.
Then my friend's MiA1 for a week. The camera was awesome but battery was meh and performance was okayish.
Now rocking z2 plus, awesome performance with sub-par camera.
Would it be possible to overclock our display's refresh rate? Anyone out there that may know how to do this? I've seen it done on the xiaomi mi 9 and redmi k20 to 84hz and 75hz respectively. I thought that maybe if it's possible to do it on those phones it might be possible on other phones too.
I don't think it's possible at all.
Hi Realme x2 users. I own this phone since a week. Really like its display, usability and why not its battery life. We all know right now how optimized software can really make the difference. We are clearly waiting for color os 7 update but I hope development will start before March. I preferred the realme over Mi 9t because on the paper the first one is much interesting. However I'm missing the community support. I think that if we were able to port the dual stereo speaker mod, and the overclock for the display refresh rate we have done. I found that the dual stereo speaker mod was already made for the realme 3 pro so I don't think it's impossible for our phone. Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-3-pro/themes/mod-dual-speaker-mod-realme-3-pro-t3942758 . Never heard, instead, of overclocking the refresh rate on realme as already done on the Mi 9t. What are other mods you think we need for our Realme x2?
Hey guys,
I have checked tons of youtube reviews and online reviews on the devices but for the first time in my life I am stuck to take one of these phones. I had mostly used bigger smart phones since the android era, like Sony Z ultra, Mi max etc .
I need to get one of these phones immediately, PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR HONEST opinion.
I think Poco X2 is a better choice.
It has better screen (120Hz vs 90Hz) and much better community support (custom kernel, ROM, etc).
Especially for community support, Realme is still FAR BEHIND Xiaomi.
Realme 6 Pro still got no bootloader unlock while Poco X2 already had several custom ROM and kernel available right freaking now.
I'd stay away from realme if they still being a b*tch like this, that's how disappointed I am with my 6 pro.

If you want better cus rom support and a better primary sensor then X2. There isn't much of a difference. 120hz gives a tiny bit of more smoothness in scrolling other wise you'll be stuck on 60hz on most of the interface. This high refresh rate thing is a new gimmick just like quad camera where 2 of the sensors are useless (macro & depth). Atleast the 6pro has a telephoto lens. Also poco x2 with 120hz drains battery faster. 720G and 730G are mostly similar in terms of performance. Ad situation is a lot better on Realme as u will have to turn off one single toggle and all ads are gone.
I have used stock android most of life and I hated the idea of a custom skin but realme ui is good (after disabling a few coloros apps) and you will get used to the ui in 2-3 days and it feels a lot more smooth and polished, even though a few options are missing.
Normally the Pro versions have good cusrom support but realme didn't allow bl unlock yet, once they do there will be some roms on the way as sources are released already (I think, not completely sure).
