Hi everyone. I posted earlier in this forum about getting a Nexus 4 and everyone said I should and I was going to order it but then I changed my mind. I don't understand my mentality on this and I hate that I have it but I always want the latest and greatest. I mean it is kind of everyone's mentality but I'm just saying. So I stumbled upon the Oppo Find 5 and I really liked it and for the price it was great for an unlocked handset with those hardware specs. I just feel that there is going to be another flagship phone from Oppo in the coming months considering they did great with the Find 5. Does anybody know about any rumors of a new handset from Oppo? I am also considering getting the Note 3 when it comes out unlocked so if anybody has any rumors on that then please let me know. Also I might even get the next nexus if it compares to the high end smartphones out there and if it comes at a reasonable price unlocked. Thank You.
Check this out; Oppo Find 7.

Oh wow I did not hear about this haha Thanks man. I also thanked your profile. Now I am very excited about this phone lol. I am going to get a phone in November because I am 15 years old and sadly I do not have a steady income haha but I will soon make enough money to buy this phone once it comes out. Thank You. Also do you have any details about any other phones or links to articles? Hopefully this will cost in the same price range as the Oppo Find 7. I would really prefer a Nexus handheld because it is very easy to root and install ROMS and other hacks and it is supported heavily by the community. But looking at this phone and the Oppo Find 5 I will have to change my mind. Do you think that once this phone comes out, the XDA Developers forum will support this handheld as in alot of people will be there to help with problems with rooting and do you think that this phone will have plenty of ROMS available for it because personally I do not like their custom UI that they have set and I would rather have Cyangemod or XenonHD or AOKP ROM on it. And to the other comment, I am in no hurry of needing another smartphone right now and Note 2 just seems old to me.
No I don't have any other links to other smartphones. I just Googled the Oppo Find 7 because I remembered reading something about it a few days ago.
Side note: I just bought a 16GB Nexus 4 (used on Swappa) and am very happy with it. I was considering buying the iOcean x7, but decided on the Nexus 4 because of the developer support. If custom ROM's, themeing and things like that are important to you, I highly suggest the Nexus 4.

I mean I would be alright with the Nexus 4 but I feel as if it is too close to the time of a new nexus being released and I don't want to buy a Nexus 4 right now and figure that there will be a better one in the coming months whihc is going to happen. Thank you for your support though. I am kind of into the custom ROMS and stuff but not that heavily. I am getting into Android programming though but that has nothing to do with the device. And also I had one more question. If I buy a locked phone off of Amazon, lets say the Galaxy S4, and I get it for $200, do I have to fill out my contract details on Amazon or is that done through activation of the phone?
Hi All,
Could you help me to choose, which one to buy? Mate 2 or Mate 7.
Mate 2 in Belarus costs around 330$ (
I can buy Mate 7 2/16 for 480$.
Both are non-official and without official warranty.
I don't play so much games, in general office use, navigation and internet browsing.
The main problem for me is insane price for Mate 2
Is it worth to buy Mate 2 today?
Thanks.

The Mate 7 has better specs but it sounds like you don't need the extra power based on your usage. The Mate 2 should work very well for you. Can you get it somewhere that will allow you to return it within a short time frame if you don't like it?

Nope, I can't return if I don't like. I can return only if there is manufacture problem in phone and only after service center's diagnostic.
I need a phone for few years and I need to make sure that this is good investment, you know.
Maybe you can suggest another model with good battery and optimal performance(that can run games)? 5.5" or 6" and not expensive.
Thanks.

Do some research. The reason I bought the HAM2 is because it was the best priced, large screen I could find that could satisfy my needs. I do not game so I am not the best person to answer. The Mate 7 will game way better than the mate 2. The 7 will also be better in two years. The 2 will be outdated, spec wise. There are also a few new phones, including a rumored Nexus phone made by Huawei, that will be announced soon. You could wait for one of them. It seems that there are more and more larger screen phones being released.

Thank you so much.
Will try to find the Mate 2 in stores to touch him and compare with Mate 7.
If you have to have the latest & greatest, then the 7 would be a better option, but, if you "just use it", web browsing, text, email, phone
and don't care about which OS is on it, as long as the apps you use work, then the Mate2 is still one of the best "bang for the buck"
devices out there. I've had mine almost a year, still is a great device.
Here are some other big phones. I don't know how much they will cost though.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3
Huawei MediaPad X1

My wife has the Xperia Z Ultra C6833 (Amazon-US), and I almost opted for it as well. My main issue with it is that it's so thin, one of the thinnest phones out there (especially at 6.44" diagonal), it flexes easily, even in her case. She hand carries it or in her purse. I would carry it in my pocket. It would be bent easily.
So I opted for the Ascend Mate 2 with a very tough case (Amazon-US) and it's worked out very well.
You could take a look at the Zenfone 2....the 1.8 ghz, 2 gb ram version is $200.....that Asus is already beta testing 5.1.1
There don't appear to be many of these devices around, and I am curious to try and find out how many.
I love the hardware. If it was just about the specs, I'd have bought one already!
But I'm undecided.
If the bootloader was unlockable, with custom recoveries and custom ROMs, I'd have bought one. However, with Asus not cooperating, and I think too few devices around, I am not sure this will achieve the critical mass to get the attention it deserves.
Sadly, the lack of international availability, and, well, Asus being Asus, means that if this was an experiment to judge the demand for super-sized phablets, then I think it failed. I don't think we'll see another from Asus.
I have one, and will be keeping it for now. However it is not my daily driver, and until AT&T fixes their HSPA+ network in my area, or root becomes available so I can unlock bands, this device will stay just a play around device.
Hi,
I have one since about 2 months and I love its big screen, reviews said that there was no lag, no freezes etc... False, the proc is not that good and I'm really desapointed but that's not why I will change.
I'll change because I cannot accept that an android phone cannot have root or unlockable bootloader, for me it's not an android...
If I wanted an extremly locked phone, I'd choose an iPhone... lol
Oh and... still no Nougat update for other versions than ZF3 5.2 and 5.5 (Stopped because euh... well, because what in fact?)
So, for a 750€ smartphone...
Asus? Never again.
wow, only six people bought one? and one of those is going to sell it. doesn't look too good.
edit: updated the count
Yea I have it and im using it on T-Mobile which is OK with hspa+ but the bootloader unlock not coming out is killing my joy with the phone. Awesome device but I find myself using my OnePlus 3t more because of Asus stupid choices with the bootloader.
Have one & will keep it. The only really irritating thing so far is having both speakers on one side, when you keep the phone in landscape mode; but I'm getting used to tolerate it and can use the headphones anyway.

the iphone7 has a dummy speaker, one set of grilles are just blind holes!
so I guess even having genuine dual speakers is a win, but yes, would have been better to have them top and bottom, or even on the long edge.
the availability of an official boot loader unlock tool has swung me back to considering this phone again.
I have had my Z3Ultra for a number of months now after I purchased it to replace my nice but also annoying Huawei P8 Max. I totally love this phone. Can't complain with the exception of the lack of Root, which as I write this message, the developer community is working on bringing it to our device. Apart from this, I am looking to keep it until a new device is released with much better spec but at least the same size possibly even a 7.9" (YES it can be as like the Huawei P8 Max, this phone has a lot of wasted space and overall size can still be kept to current size- check Xiaomi Mi Mix) with ultra thin bezels and curved display, stylus pen, keyboard attachment, better cpu, 128GB or 256GB ROM, 6GB+ RAM, dual sim + independent sd slot and finally quad speakers (top, bottom, left, right side with similar quality to the ones already on it (they are awesome, I mean it). Anyway, enough dreaming from me, lets hope someone from Asus is reading my expectations of the next version.
I have one and will keep it, i am coming from a sony z ultra that I've been using for almost 2 years and sony z3 tablet compact 4g 3 months before that and a sony z1 before that, i have only had the asus zenfone 3 ultra for 1 week but have wanted this device since may last year, i bought this for £420 from eglobal and only bought this because my cousin wanted a better device than the Samsung s4 but he wanted to buy the sony z5 because he knew i enjoyed my sony devices but never asked why i didn't have a updated version like the z2 or z3, i sent him the information about the zenfone 3 series and the asus launch videos, he finally bought the deluxe 820 version after 3 months from the same seller but wanted this as soon as i showed these devices to him, i also bought my dad a sony z2 for work and recently upgraded his device to the asus zenfone 3 5.2 inch version. My cousin now wants the ultra version and im going to also buy his deluxe version to use for work. This is the best decision ive made but would buy a xiaomi mi max for less than 200 if i don't get the deluxe from him and stay with my ultra device too. I drive for work and have always had large screen devices for 3-4 years. Lets see what asus has to offer other than the AR version as this is only a small version or normal size lol. I've been recently looking around for root and unlocking bootloader and will wait for asus to release this to all.
Xiaomi Mi Mix? specs? quat speakers?

It is nice to dream and imagine good things in life and the spec posted (as stated in my original post) is what I want to see in an ideal device of this size. Oh No. I am definitely not smoking anything. Just dreaming the possibility of a perfect phablet (A mix between ZF3U, Samsung Galaxy S7/S8 type edge display and mi mix type bezelless front with the extras as cherry on top).
BTW. As I discovered very recently ASUS Customer Service for the ZenFone series is rubbish to say the least but more like non-existent. God help us when we need care for our precious ZF3U.

You are wright buddy, this is what I want too but no body makes it. :laugh::laugh:
My wife had 1. She dropped it face first on a concrete with flip cover that came with the phone. The screen still shattered. The flip cover is coming covering the screen but still didn't protect it from the impact. I guess that's the gamble when you have a very large screen.

I have one and love it, despite the stuff that is installed there out of the box. Its fast, bright and really useful. One thing that slightly upsets me - need to reboot it every second day to keep at the top of its abilities.
Overall - I'd never hesitate to recommend it.:good:
I had one, then gave it to my daughter while i used other smaller screen phone... Then i realize i got hooked on big screen, so i bought another one for me

Mainly, you CAN'T assume that just because folks don't report stuff here on XDA, that no one has it. Next, many users are Chinese, or from Taiwan. They won't necessarily speak English. Third, since the LTE bands are NOT available in the U.S.A., that kills more of the market. Lastly, the going rate is around $500 USD, if someone here DID want to buy one. Ours is black screen bricked right now, so we're trying to get help with the (WW) international version unbricking.
I should have been more clear, what I was interested in was how many XDA forum members have bought this, so as to gauge the level of interest and likelihood of hackers and developers doing interesting things with it. I don't know enough about custom Asus ROMS in this respect to actually do the work, but would have been willing to help test rooting and custom recoveries, only I ended up buying an LG V20 because it had all the features I wanted and the AZf3U didn't, and also my concerns about Asus's upgrade longevity set in.

I was planning to get zf3 ultra but with almost no rom support, I might get the mi max 2 instead.
I don't think the mi mix is a good idea since it has a fragile ceramic body. I prefer metal body...
*Edit: I gave away my mi max (helium ver) and back to using my 5 years old coolpad 9976a
Hi guys,
I feel it's really sad to see there are so few options to mod our Xperia phone.
I think Sony made a great phone with pretty good OS and feature set, as well as design, but we have almost zero modding options.
There's no official TWRP, which seems odd since there's an official one for the much similar Xperia X Performance...
Also, no Lineage, no custom ROMs other than a few ones that aren't really famous and well known like Lineage or others.
Do you guys know why is this phone so underrated? Is it so difficult to port ROMs to or are there just a few users?
Cheers
PS Still hope for an official Lineage/TWRP port... fingers crossed for now
Well there are two stock based roms and OmniRom for the xx, which is not too bad. There are also at least two twrp versions around that are not official, but do what they need to do. If you are used to Lineage you'll like Omni!
That said, Sony had hoped to sell double the number of devices in the x-series as they actually did. Unfortunately demand is not so high for midrange phones that perform as good as last year's premium phones.

I actually think that the demand for mid-rangers are actually fairly high if it was at the right price bracket.
The Xperia X with its $899 or was it $799NZD was actually on par with discounted flagships like the regular 32GB S7 making it a bad buy.
Likewise, I bought this phone when it was on special at $549 and while it's not exactly cheap, that is the price it should honestly be sold at.
It was a touch below the price of the Galaxy A5 2016 making this phone the more appealing premium mid-ranger.

I agree that the xx was too expensive when it was introduced. I also bought it after the price had dropped .
Seriously guys? I actually got mine for a pretty good price (320 euros). That's not a lot for the phone's specs tbh.
Anyway I agree that there's some TWRP around, but how deep can a user trust a dropbox-hosted custom recovery made by who knows...
Not to disrespect by any means the dev behind it, but being this my main phone I'd prefer a more official recovery.
Also gotta try this OmniRom, seems a good project, but still no way of trying it without the proper twrp.

I know right? I do not understand how they paid so much for this thing. I payed 320 months ago. Now it goes for as low as 280! For that price, you cannot get a better deal unless you want some chinese stuff. Personally I spent months researching phones at that price and this was the best.

to answer you question, you have to consider SONY's health as business entity! the company had 2.3+ Billion losses in 2015 even with z5 and z5p on their side! (there are many reasons for that)
1. they don't usually link their devices with careers (like samsung does)
2. only gsm
3 poor marketing (the biggest)
4 drmkeys concept (for developers)
now when Xperia X was launched when sony dumped whole Z project and never released Z6 , (may be XZP is another name of z6p) . also X was never released in many countries! in my country there is no Xperia dealer and i order them from dubai.
when extremely talented devices gets extinct, you don't see much activity in developer world also! , If you wana see the most successful and popular ever xperia! , in my opinion Xperia Z (C6602/03 ) is the king. there are so many roms, tweaks, recoveries, for that device! Sony was down very well that time!
now, coming back to X, i have X, its nice phone, today got 7.1.1 from sony. so they haven't completely abandon it; its just its not a very popular device in developer world
I got my XX almost a year ago. Used it like 4 months as my only phone, then as a jukebox when I got a Honor 8 and then an OnePlus 3T, those are good phones but there's something I like of my Xperia X, that's why I installed an Android 7.1.2 concept ROM and I'm using it again. Can't believe the screen is sharper and clearer in the sunset than the OP3T! Also, audio and video recorder is superior than Honor 8 and OP3T.
Even if I hate the fingerprint scanner location, I like my Xperia and I'm currently using it as my daily phone again, while I'm experimenting with the OP3T.
Too bad developers don't have too much interest on this nice piece of phone.
After my Axon got wrecked, my service center replaced my whole device under warranty, so I didn't unseal the box and managed to sell it for 200€.
I'm getting paid in the end of the month and will pick up the Pocophone F1 in the Axon's place.
It's been a wonderful journey owning this phone, great dev support, wouldn't have used it this long if it wasn't for that.
A big thank you to everyone in this forum, I'll miss you.

I saw at the poco thread that a lot of roms and a couple of kernels exist, plus vendor support for gsi flashing so I should be fine.

Thank you for all your support to the community.
Hope you will have some good time with your new phone.
I am using Xiaomi devices since one year and I love the battery life.
Unfortunately the Axon became unusable as a daily driver, because newer ROMs have terrible battery life. So it became more a multimedia device for usage at home.

I did ended up bought zenfone 5z mainly for the performance and battery life. I'm gonna keep the axon 7 for backup and sometime use for multimedia device. The dual speaker on axon 7 is one of the best feature I ever use.
For the headphone jack performance. At first, the jack output on 5z was low compare to the axon 7. But after update the output was much better and maybe on par with the axon 7.
The same case for our global axon 7 way back on android marshmellow when headphone output was limited because the EU law and it was fixed on nougat.

After my Axon got wrecked, my service center replaced my whole device under warranty, so I didn't unseal the box and managed to sell it for 200€.
I'm getting paid in the end of the month and will pick up the Pocophone F1 in the Axon's place.
It's been a wonderful journey owning this phone, great dev support, wouldn't have used it this long if it wasn't for that.
A big thank you to everyone in this forum, I'll miss you.

See ya man, thanks for your contributions towards this device's community. Been shopping around myself, but think I may hold out a little longer for the next gen phones.
Oh thanks for the offer by the way... :silly:
Great choice.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 inbound, to replace the 2016 ZTE Axon 7. After doing some research, it came down to the LG G7 ThinQ or the Samsung Galaxy S9. I had been holding off to wait and see the new Google Pixel 3, but I just cannot see paying $ 800 for the base model and most of the reviewers still prefer the S9. Amazon sells the 64 GB black Galaxy S9 for $ 620, and that was as good a price as I could find, with the added bonus of more points on the Amazon credit card. This is for the unlocked version, good for GSM and CDMA US carriers, and has a US warranty. I will initially switch my Cricket SIM card into it, while my wife looks into adding it to her Verizon plan. Verizon has much better service in this area than does AT&T/Cricket, and she thinks she can get some sort of family plan or discount. I wanted to have the option of a phone that I could switch between Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and their resellers as needed.
This will be my first Samsung phone, but the people I know who have that brand seem to like them. I am keeping the Axon as a backup and media device.
I'll make the switch after the Axon 9 is released in the US. At that point it will either be the A9 or the Galaxy Note 9. I've heard good things about both, it's a close tie. I'm accustomed to Samsung Android, having owned several of them, but the Note 4 was the last. I'd really like to give ZTE another chance. I just had my A7 returned from a warranty repair, working good as new. There is no real need to get rid of it, but I like to have the latest. The A9 will need to be bootloader-unlockable, rootable, and TWRP available before I'll consider it. I'm sure there will be some good Treble ROMs for both devices.
Nooo!!! Ty for everything

It's a beast to be honest but I miss the axon.
I'm facing a very annoying touch latency issue which is to be resolved soon hopefully by a software update, but until this gets solved the axon performs better.
U left right before official oreo released
Official b20 itself isn't so great but hopefully everything else from it will help with development

Eeh, **** happens some times in life.
I'm most likely going to refund the poco and get an Oneplus 6, I 'll be losing some features but at least it will be fast with good battery life and no problems.
