Original or not?

Hi
I need your help because I am not convinced that this phone is original?
Zenfone 2, 4GB/32GB an 1.8Ghz processor - At GearBest internet shop. I can't post URL because I am new at the forum.
Thanks for your help!

It is original. Look around the forum you will see other people talking about this variant.

Have one of these, chinese variant generally and flashed to WW.
I also have the 2.3ghz 64gb rom version.
Both similar and you won't really see much difference in daily use.
If for $250US this is a good price.

Actually it is for just 229$
Awrsome deal IMHO

Here goes.
An Asus Z00A (AD to be precise, CM calls it Z00A) with an Atom Z3560 clocked at 1.8Ghz and 4GB RAM. And I'm typing from this phone.

Thanks a lot to every one for your help. It is very useful!
I have just another question:
- are you satisfied with this model (Z00A)? What I should think about before I order it?
- is it necessary to flash it WW? Is chines version that annoying?
Thank you!

Well
I have 2.3Ghz model and I'm quite happy about it.
The price is very very decent compared to the rest of the smartphones
50 000 antutu score is also great.
Intel processor might be an an issue when it comes to Cyanogen and it was the reason I was thinking about buying or not but it looks like there are already enough roms. Some xposed apps may not work though but I guess it is a matter of time.
ASUS ZenUI works well and even replaces some of my must-have apps.
Phone Case is a must for that smartphone as back-cover is made to look like metal but it still a plastic and overtime that texture can get screwed and the plastic around the screen is easy to scratch. Keep that in mind.
Can't say for CN to WW but on russian forums a lot of people who bought chinese version, flashed to WW and it works well. IIRC chinese version is missing google apps which can be installed later on.

I agree, have the same model 2.3ghz, 4gb and 32gb. May I suggest you get the 2.3ghz variant and if your budget approves a 64gb for future proofing. Plus your assured that it will be bundled with a boostmaste capable charger. Some 1.8ghz variants comes with the regular charger only depending on region and dealership.

U.S Le Eco Pro3 discussion

Really good spec and pricing. $399 price tag , however with discount $100 for US resident which bring it down to $299. Just wondering if all the bands work with Tmobile and AT&T
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I'm probably going to grab one, but I need a CM / AOSP rom to be there.

Announcement says:
LTE-A, LTE, HSPA+, HSPA, UMTS, WCDMA, EDGE, GSM
LTE Bands 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/29/30/38
which is everything T-Mobile and AT&T need AFAIK

The product code it's LEX727 not LEX720 as chinese version. Have a new ROM 5.8.0.18S and updated kernel.

Yeah, the product version is different, but as ericerk mentioned, this needs CM/AOSP support (and kernel support) for it to be REALLY worthwhile. Not sure how I feel about just plugging in another chinese skin/ui on a phone, no matter the specs.

Are they releasing a limited amount of the Pro3 for their flash sale?
Sent from my ONE A2005 using XDA-Developers mobile app

has anyone seen the software for the Le Pro 3 phone called EUI 5.8?
im ok with it if it works and is not garbage. The hardware for the flash sale price of $299 is a steal.
otherwise im going with the OnePlus 3T coming out soon which is definitely going to have CM14 ported to it by someone. probably will only cost $399 I hope.

No offense but the device does sound like a good buy. But let's be honest, there to many great phones out in this price range now(Nexus 6p, op3, g4 plus, etc) that worrying about development is kinda dumb when those phones I mentioned offer tons of it already. Then on top of that 6p already on 7.1.1 dev preview, and g4 plus has soak test leak build of 7.0 out now......
Then on top of that the phone is on 6.0 MM....Why not 6.0.1 or especially 7.0?

yea, I think you have a good point. I am starting to lean towards the oneplus phones, as they seem more dev friendly, and the company has no problems releasing source codes eventually for their phones.

today i got mine. and its a really nice and fast phone BUT the contrast and the colours are not the beste.
my last phone was a samsung note 4 and the display is even better.

Is yours the US model? I'm asking because I'm curious if it's as easy to bootloader unlock as the chinese model.

oh sorry wrong thread i got the european version

I'm very interested in the Le Pro 3. I currently have a Nexus 6 and have been considering an upgrade. I was about to pull the trigger on the Axon 7 but then I saw the promo for $299. An incredible price for the specifications. The biggest minus is no SDCard and questionable about how much development there will be. On the other hand the price and battery are worth considering. Must be rootable (which this phone is).
I cut my cable and phone off ages ago and rely on netflix / amazon prime for entertainment, so the streaming content might be something I'd be interested in as well.
Unfortunately I have only 1 shot (money is tight) and I'd hate to spend my one shot at an upgrade to get a dud. Decisions decisions....

i got the 720 international version of the phone which has dual sime , 6G Ram, 64 Ram, and the EUI5.8 i was told the EUI5.8 for both US and 'internation version' are almost same. as least for the main functionality part of it. here are some screen shoot. i feel it is better than the google's mm 6.0. and some niche control features. see the attached. i have used the phone for only few days. so far, the performance is very good ( lightning fast) and the battery just last ( compare to my old Samsung note 5), and with the built in phone management tool, you wont need other power saving apps. i compared to use greenify or just phone's power management, the battery performances are the same. so i removed the greenify. basically, i noticed there are quiet few firmware update for other LeEco previous models. so hopefully we will get good support for this new model as well. compare to native google phone, i prefer LeEco's control function . press the left bottom, you will get the full control interface which allow you to do few things in one screen. very handy!

I read online somewhere that on the Nov 2nd flash sale there is only an limited amount of devices that qualify for the $299 price

During the Nov. 2 flash sale each customer is limited to 5 devices at the discounted rate, assuming the member has claimed the coupon all 5 times. Also, there is limited stock so be sure to order as soon as you can and if you do happen to miss the sale, don't worry there will be another.

I lost my Nexus 6 to water damage and ordered OnePlus 3, but their supply is very slow, it's taking more than 3 weeks to get shipped, so when Le Pro 3 was launched, I cancelled my OnePlus 3 order and waiting for Nov 2 to order it. With new manufacturer there are so many unknowns, but it this price point I am pretty sure enough people will buy this phone that we will have very good support for this phone on xda.

I wonder if the slow down of shipments is due to the new oneplus 3T coming out soon??
I am not worried about dev support for le pro 3. I am worried about LeEco being lame and never releasing source code. they posted the source code on opensource.le.com but then took it down. Some people are saying the code was bad anyway. devs cant really do anything without the kernal source, its not worth their time and energy in that case.

It says on the site that supplies are limited. In the Chinese debut they sold out 500,000 units in 15 seconds. I think US release might have less units but also it will have less buyers.

LG V30+ India Thread

Hi,
As per invites Lg is going to release newest V30+ in India this 13th December 2017. Who's excited?
There are still few things unknown like will we get unlocked device with boot loader unlock available officially in future (too optimistic?), price of the phone and coming with pre installed Oreo?
Feel free to share your views about the device, its performance, updates, customer support etc. here.

About time this thread started!
My wish list:
1. Most importantly, I hope that launch date = availability date. We're done with announcements, LG
2. B&O earphones please - don't shortchange Indian customers
3. Oreo - although not so important for now
4. All colour variants please, especially Moroccan blue
5. Pricing sub 50k would be good.

Oh crap!
I couldn't wait for India launch so I ordered the V30+ from HK a week ago, its being delivered later on today! Paid 63k total, yikes!!

I have been looking for a good dual SIM phone to upgrade to from my Nexus 6p and right now the only contenders are HTC U11 plus, LG V30, and OP5T. HTC U11 Plus is my ideal phone, but not sure if it launching here. A question to LG device owners here, are their dual SIM phones rootable and will the V30 also be rootable? If it's not rootable, then I''ll have to wait even longer for my next device.
Edit: Never mind looks like root is not available on any of the versions of this phone.

Crazy pricing! Rs45k - available on Amazon exclusively from 18-Dec. But from what I read, no B&O earphones and no Oreo. Also only black & silver colours. But all that is ok given that its almost 20k less than Note 8 and horrendously priced Pixel 2 XL. They'll have to cut pricing now.

Mod Edit : Link Removed

Really Confused after the Price annoucement at Rs45k.
Hi all, I'm new to this awesome site. I am from India.
I'm confused between HTCu 11, HTCu 11 Plus and LG v30+ to buy.
U11 and V30 are available at the same price.
Q1:-Could anyone tell me around when U11+ will come to India?
My experiences with both V20 and G6 have been so horrendous that I had to sell them both within the first month as I could not take in the stutter and awful overnight battery drain and mild heating issues even when I was using it casually(no games or FBook etc).
Q2:- u11 Plus would be priced, even if it does arrive in India, at least Rs 10k-15k ( 150 to 230 American dollars ) higher than U 11. I dont want to spend that much more if the upgrade is not worth it. So is it worth that much?
Please someone... anyone.... do reply
Thanks

I was not at all expecting a price tag of 45K at all. LG phones don't really hold their value, but this price seems very reasonable. About 7k more than OP5t but offering better screen, cameras, audio output through headphone jack , IP68 rating etc. while OP5t 128GB version has double the RAM though and better software. with custom ROM support. Really hard choice to make!!! I still think the U11 plus is the right phone for me, but HTC I don't know what they are doing by not releasing their phone.

Anyone knows about Official bootloader unlock for Indian version? Will it ever come? Anyone with experience in past with lg phones?

It is surprising and it makes me wonder how it differs from the versions sold abroad. Whether anything is missing, the v30 in the uk was launched at £800 cuple of months back, this one works out to £520. The difference is online store margins are less than street retail
oneplus does not have better software. It only has better rom support.
It looks like the india version is the same as the HK one (going by the user manual) , the boot loader will likely be unlockable so forget getting root
unless you import the euro variant which means no warranty in India whereas they get two years

I had battery drain just one night out of a month i own the v20. A restart fixed it. I would say the one thing The v20 has low drain otherwise averaging 4-6% per 12h with the secondary screen off. Otherwise its 1% per hour and if it faces somewhere bright can be higher as it seems to brighten the screen up on its own irrespective of what auto brightness was set to.
As far as temperature goes this is a cool phone. Won't cross 33 degrees C at fastest charge which happens only with screen off as with all LG phones. The G4 would run five degrees warmer on avg

India is basically getting the "$400 gift card" price (where you have to buy two LG devices) without having to buy two phones or any hassle with submitting receipts, forms. They're just getting the final price and even a few dollars less.
U.S.: 2 X $930 (LG V30+) = $1860 - $400 gift card = $1460 / 2 = $730.
And the gift card trick is no longer available in U.S. I was forced to buy a carrier unlocked LG V30 to qualify before the December 2 deadline. My second phone will then be the carrier unlock LG V30+, when it's released. India even beat us on that.
India: $700 LG V30+. (44,900 rupees)

so did anyone pre ordered yet ?

Just like the people who tried to make it a "widespread" problem in the U.S. It wasn't. And since production ramped up in September, it's been even lesser percentage as time goes on.

According to one of the reviews I saw on YouTube, it says Made in India at the back of the device. And also B n O earphones are replaced by LG made earphones.

Question Mi 11 Lite 5G vs 5G NE?

After searching the difference between the two, Mi 11 lite 5G has 780G and due to chip problems it's development stopped and xiaomi released the 5G NE model as far as i know. Which one should i buy non NE model has a slight better cpu but now that its no longer produced i'm concerned that i won't find any mod-rom support on forums. Which one should i pick, im currently using Mi6 still rock solid but design is boring me after 4+ years of use.

I'm in the same position. I've decided to go for the original even though the NE is cheaper where I am from.
I don't think either will be well supported with ROMs as it's not a big seller. If flashing if your thing look at the f3 or Poco X3 Pro or a Xiaomi flagship.

Are you currently using NE ? how is the daily use battery life? how much screen on time do you get ? I don't play that much games in my phone but are you noticing any throttling while gaming or any long time use ?

Hi.
No I have neither. TBH I am not sure which to get. I think the only difference is the chipset in all honesty. If your not a gamer I would go for the NE for sure due to longer battery life and better chipset efficiency.
I'm torn between keeping my Poco X3 Pro or buying the Mi 11 Lite 5G. I'm still not sure what to do. The X3 Pro is a really nice phone and ticks all the boxes but it's just a little heavy for my liking.

I just bought the NE from Amazon France for £240.
I'm happy I got the NE version because I don't think the 780g was a good chip for this phone. I just hope the screen is acceptable.

I have 780 , works perfectly.

Just 5nm chip shortage.
780 is blazing fast and a bit better for games than 778.
Even though it's 5 nm instead 6 nm, 780 seems to be a bit worse in terms of efficiency but it's most probably soft related and might be already on par.

Question Buying advice, OnePlus 9 Pro in 2023?

Hey all! I looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 6. I am interested in custom roms (LineageOS/Microg) and the free availability of the MSM tool to help me in the case of bricking.
Is a new OnePlus 9 only (latest) phone left on the market that can still do this, or is it a dying breed?
How are people liking the curved edge of the screen? Are accidental touches a thing with a case?
Is battery life a problem, or would a custom rom and lowering the clock of the processor via root be necessary?
Is 8GB RAM enough? I'm not into gaming.
Any other issues I should be aware of, such as the upgrade to Android 13?
OR, would it be smarter to look elsewhere, even a OnePlus 10/11 and simply "debloat"?
Thanks!

Great...after I ordered it, the vendor says they made a mistake and there was no stock to begin with, so I got refunded. So much for inventory tracking systems...
Now I have a choice of a Black OnePlus 9 8gb/128gb or a Black OnePlus 9 Pro 8gb/128gb for €190 more.
Any opinions on the non-pro variant? Not sure how 8gb will be long-term, but I am still looking for stock in a 12gb option.

Go to a local electronic store like BestBuy and see if they can locate one for you. That's what I did, but you may not get the color you want.

Yeah, good idea, although no BestBuy in the EU. Still combing the internet for a 12/256 variant--i'm sure to find something.

Go pro you will be glad you did!

Hey all! I looking to upgrade from a OnePlus 6. I am interested in custom roms (LineageOS/Microg) and the free availability of the MSM tool to help me in the case of bricking.
Is a new OnePlus 9 only (latest) phone left on the market that can still do this, or is it a dying breed?
How are people liking the curved edge of the screen? Are accidental touches a thing with a case?
Is battery life a problem, or would a custom rom and lowering the clock of the processor via root be necessary?
Is 8GB RAM enough? I'm not into gaming.
Any other issues I should be aware of, such as the upgrade to Android 13?
OR, would it be smarter to look elsewhere, even a OnePlus 10/11 and simply "debloat"?
Thanks!

Why do you say that? Bad experience with the device?
Also, unless Carl Pei can make the Nothing Phone (2) into a modern (and better) OnePlus 5T, not sure it would be worth waiting. But who knows...
I would prefer a device that I can actually fully control, otherwise, I'd just go iPhone and line Tim Apple's pockets some more.

I have a 9p and it makes me mad when I use it,
I would suggest to go with Samsung s23+, nothing phone 2, or iPhone 13
But my recommendation is to wait for nothing phone 2,it gonna be smartphone of the year and nothing phone has best software experience , so don't make yourself regret and cancel the 9p order

To each his own!

I have the pro 8gb variant. Fantastic device. Doesn't lag at all. Battery lasts till afternoon and then I can charge it at half an hour. Cameras are great, but do note that they are not "iphone 14 pro great". No ghost touches. The only two things I am complaining is that I would love a 3.5mm jack and a little stronger reception.

Are there any useful tips people have to extend battery life?
I understand its different for everyone, but I hear some people tweak the clocks of the SD888 or use a specific rom
Yeah I also wish there was a headphone jack. The Asus Zenfone 9 with the SD8g1 (and some Sony Xperias) look good for that reason too.
