Seems like meizu pro 5 community is small here.
I've just place an order on aliexpress and would like to know more on the real world usage before my phone is delivered.
Anyone kind souls out there with pro 5?

I have got mine for about a week now. No complaints so far though. My only gripe is that the screen looks very washed out. Or that could be because i am coming from a over saturated samsung screen. Let me know if you need more specific details.:good:
I have a great desire to order meizu pro 5. But I see that there is no Ukrainian language in it and, as for me, Meizu community is very small in whole. So I do not know whether I could expect for good roms and Ukrainian language... That's why probably I will order Xiaomi instead of pro 5...

How's the camera and battery life doing?
Sent from my R7plusf using XDA Free mobile app
I have not done any rigorous battery test on the phone yet. But so far have not seen any battery drains. I am unable to post image links for the screenshot due to xda 10 posts rule. Iam at 86 % after 11h 37 min. 24 % of which is Phone Standby, 19% screen, 13% Android System, 7 % Android OS and the rest other apps. My day included mostly of standy, an hour or two of podcasts, a few email checks and messaging.As for the camera, i had some shots from the night time and they were really bad. Lots of noise. I will try to post some samples in the coming posts for the images and also test the phone on battery intensive games. I have one weird bug though. Once a day the phone gets locked and prompts for the flyme account password
mx5 pro
hi,
i have mine also a week , the battery life is just incredible, really.
my huge complain is this ****ty, terrible, scrap Flyme OS. I can not get used to it. i miss a lot of customization possibilities. no root option, no themes, locked bootloader. it is not laggy, no force close, everything works fine, but i can not get used to it.
the hardware for me is VERY VERY impressive! i would truly recommend this phone BUT 1st take a look at this OS if you like it or not.
hope i could help a bit.
I have my pro 5 rooted and it is extremely easy to do. Just go to settings, create a flyme account then go to system privileges and choose root. Viola!! And you are rooted.
I have Samu Note 4 but now I would like a new phone with 2 sim card slot. I like the One+2 and Meizu MR5 pro. Can you convenience me that the Mx5 pro is better chiose? And what about international support (update) and overheating and other negative property. Now I can buy One about 400€. It is chinese original new model. What do you think? Later, for example 6 month if I would like to sell it how keep it price.

If you are a heavy user just search "Snapdragon 810 vs Mediatek Helio X10 Antutu showdown (part 2)" in youtube from gizchina channel. That should be reason enough to not go for 810 phone.

best is to purchase your Pro 5 from a trusted source. my pro 5 have 1 year warranty.
i'm getting my pro 5 in 3 days time! can't wait!
Seems like the Meizu Pro 5 community is really small here.
Such a great phone but was being overshadow by HTC,Sony,ZTC,Huawei and etc.
does any of you have any idea approx when we could get rid of Flyme and have some "normal" android OS?
i even can not find out how to switch between apps without closing them. so frustrating... 1st OS ever i would need a handbook.

thanks, i found that out, but it always restart the app. i am in the middle of a game - incoming call - game closed, i have to restart again. it does not run in the background.
Ok. I am confused here. I bought a Mi 8 Explorer from eBay, it looked to me like the Mi 8 Explorer does - with the transparent back. I have been looking at ways to root this thing and have not found many guides for the ursa model, I guess as it is quite rare right now. I just ran DevCheck on my phone to see some of the details in preparation for rooting and it tells me that my model is the 'Mi 8 Pro equuleus'.
I saw that the next thread down in this fgorum is someone asking if they can flash one rom to another device. I am wondering, if this had been done to my device would it now show me the name to be equuleus? Could this be what is on my device but it is actually Explorer hardware. Or is it that there is also a transparent version of the Mi 8 Pro.
I went with a Xiaomi phone to try something new but there is way too much confusion for my liking with the similar/region specific devices.
Ursa and Equuleus (and even Dipper) share almost the same hardware with just a few differences.
I never tried to cross flash my Equuleus, but my guess is the Rom is not capable of telling you what the underlying hardware is.
And yes, Ursa and Equuleus probably look exact the same, so you may (or may not, IDK) have got an Equuleus instead of an Ursa.
Try to find out if your device has been bootloader unlocked. If it was not (means it is in locked state), then it has a stock Rom and was never flashed into something else.
I purchased Xiaomi Mi 8 EE which is Chinese version of Xiaomi Mi 8 pro, its simply perfect high performance phone, google installed via gapps apk
I purchased this from Argos, (in UK ) and it is the Equules variant.
Hope that helps
I also purchased mine in the U.K and it looks like it is actually the Explorer edition, the mi 8 transparent edition only comes with a Li-polymer battery, the transparent edition only uses the li-ion battery, they are both 3000ma. The explorer edition comes in 8gb ram and the transparent mi 8 pro is also 8gb ram. I think it's actually the same phone just the explorer is for the Chinese market.

I'm pretty sure though it's actually the explorer edition, if you search gearbest it comes under mi 8 pro explorer edition, uses a Li-poly battery which the mi8 pro transparent titanium doesn't, if you download the phone information app from the play store you will see, I also purchased mine from Argos in the U.K. The transparent titanium mi 8 pro uses a li-ion battery which our does not, they have maybe supplied these as the pro to meet network band specs in Europe.
Hello, I got rid of my MI 8 and got a mi mix 3
Hey Guys
So I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, purchased in the UK.
I am very interested in the Freebuds 2 Pro however as I'm sure your aware they aren't available global yet, only a Chinese version released.
I don't mind ordering the Chinese versions but I just wanted to check if there are any known compatibility issues with a non-Chinese Mate 20 Pro.
I've read about compatiblity issues with phones that do not have Bluetooth 5.0 (Mate 20 Pro does so that's ok), read about issues with the software version having to be above 171 for the HWA to work (my mate 20 pro is over this version).
Is there anything else I need to consider before I make the purchase? Is there going to be an issue with languge in some way? I know there's no display but possibly voice commands or recognition issues for the English language?
Any help would be great, I'm guessing I'm not the only one wondering on a global release date.

Hey
I do have the freebuds 2 pro and a LYA-L29 with 187 firmware.
They fit perfectly with one another.
No issues and better than with my P20 pro.
I really can recommend them.
I think the only disadvantage is the short battery life from about one hour.
But they are very quick rechargeable with its box.

Thanks Orlando, my mate 20 Pro is LYA-L09, not sure what the difference is between the LYA-L29? is it only dual sim difference? I'm running with 187 firmware too, so this is good to hear.
I assume you are located outside of China right?

Yes, it is the dual functionality only.
And also yes. Not in China ?
That is the reason why it is really difficult for me to use the companion app to update the firmware on the buds ?, but thank God there is Google Lens ?

I can't seem to get mine to pair with my P30 Pro. I press the button, white led flashes, nothing appears in the bluetooth list of devices. Any ideas?
Edit: 10 mins later they just appeared with no issue. All seems fine now!
I recently bought some Freebuds 2 Pro, So far i'm impressed with them. They work great with my UK Mate 20 Pro, and i'm on 9.0.0.210.
Audio quality is excellent, but not noticed a difference with HWA turned on.
How is call quality with freebuds 2 pro especially in noisy environments? And what is bone id anyway!
I deserted to the dark side and was using a OnePlus 7 Pro 5G for the last couple of months.
Luckily I kept my Mate 20 Pro, as I'm now utterly fed up with the 7 Pro and it's lack of basic functionality vs. the Mate 20 Pro
So, what have I missed while I was away (I've kept up to date enough to get 9.1.0 on my phone, but haven't checked for the .310 update yet)?
Hi!
I have had the my Mate 20 pro for almost a year now and I'm mostly happy with it.
I have a swap deal on the phone which in short works like this; I pay a monthly fee for the phone and after one year I can send in my phone and get a new one of my choice, or I can continue paying for two years and the phone is completely paid off. It also includes a screen insurance so the deal is quite good.
But I feel to get the most out of this deal, I have to keep swapping every year.
The thing is, there isn't many phones to choose from in my opininon. They have Iphone which is not a question, Sony, Huawei P30 pro and the Samsung 10 series.
I was thinking of the Samsung Note 10 or 10+, but I'm afraid if the battery will be worse then the Mate. I love the battery I get on my Mate
The phone I really want is Oneplus 7t pro, but they don't have that one of course..
So, is it worth going for an upgrade to any of the phones they sell, or should I just stick with my Mate?
I would like to add that upgrading to the P30 pro would probably be the best choice, but I'm done with Huawei for now. The Mate is a really good phone, but the unlock code being so hard to get is a big no no from me. Even though I got my code for free
Edit: adding a link so you can see the options https://nettbutikk.telenor.no/
The only one I'd look at is the Note 10 plus.
Note 10+ won't give anything close to the Mate 20 Pro for battery life. You only have the P30 Pro as an option at this stage. You can wait a little and sse the fate of the Mate 30 pro
Yeah, that's what I though.. Thanks anyways??
