Hii guys..
I am using Panasonic P81 which dont have KITKAT os update yet.
But news is this, PANASONIC LAUNCHES P55 WITH 5.5-INCH DISPLAY with KITKAT 4.4.2 OS.
Both these phones are quite similar in specs.
So, request for users of P81, CAN WE GET OS of this new phone ????
Apart from screen size p55 is nowhere near p81.. p55 is a low grade phone and still kitkat..
asking kitkat from a company who does not care to provide minor updates to rectify bugs is useless and this is the reason they have dropped its price from rs19000 to rs12000 for this wonderful device.. still panasonic can work on software updates to nominate p81 in the list of best devices of its time..
I agree. P81 is a very capable phone. If it gets kitkat makeover then nothing like it.

It’s not clear which other Canvas series phones will be upgraded to Lollipop.
NEW DELHI: Domestic devices maker Micromax has announced that the company will be rolling out Android 5.0 Lollipop update for its popular Canvas series of smartphones. Lollipop is the latest version of Google's mobile operating system.

The update has been rolled out OTA (over the air). Canvas Xpress users can follow the simple process to get the updates on their devices. Users will get an update notification on their handset when they connect it to the internet and following that they can directly upgrade to the latest OS. Users can also check manually for the upgrade by going to the Settings menu, tapping on 'about phone' and then on 'software update.'
Micromax had launched Canvas Xpress at Rs 6,999, in December.It sports a 4.5-inch FWVGA (480x854p) IPS display.
Powered by a 1.3GHz MediaTek MTK6582V/X quad core processor and 1GB RAM, the phone comes with 8GB internal storage and a microSD card slot that supports cards of up to 32GB.

Hi,
I am planning to buy Vivo smartphone. Someone told me that its Funtouch OS has interface and funtionality same as iOS. Is it true? Should I buy Vivo or not?
Please help.
Try Vivo V3MAX

Hi Ketan,
I am using Vivo V3MAX and here is my honest review.
From finger print scanner to PDAF camera, the phone has tons of features. The most amazing feature to me is fast battery charging. If you are a gamer then its the best phone to have as it offers seamless gaming expereince. It hifi music playing capability is a bonus for a music addict. My only concern is its metallic body which others might enjoy. I am not a metallic body fan. Other than this there is nothing I dont like about this phone. Its an amazing phone to have.

i second the comment of @badalji the phone has a lot to offer from camera to battery . And about your question its not like iphone, actually FUNTOUCH OS is similar in a few things like for example it doesn`t offer an app drawer you have to put al aps on your homescreen pages and/or folders just google it for clarity (you can make any no. of pages) , no lags whatsoever i have tried playing asphalt to hitman sniper and all of the games worked smoothly also as i am amid musician i love to play my tunes and listen to my favt tunes .. and the sound system is just amusing with the phone , i.e because of the extra audio chip that VIVO has installed in the device , i`ll just say that visit your nearest vivo dealer and just taste the features and see for yourself then make a decision.
GOOD LUCK
Yes funtouch is copy of ios and also you should not buy a vivo phone because they don't worth our money.
Are custom Android OSes like FunTouch OS and OxygenOS just as good as stock Android for Android Development?
Please advice me what to buy. I want an android-without-google phone. With e.g. cyanogenmod, or any other. I am good with computers, and coding, but myself I have no clue yet about Android development.
The Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) seems better supported in this forum - so perhaps a fully functional ROM will appear earlier? True?
But it has only 1.5 GB RAM. All specs here.
The Wiko ufeel is cheaper and looks like the more powerful hardware (e.g. 3 GB RAM), all specs here, and their marketing stuff.
But xda-developers.com does not even have a subforum for Wiko yet? Does that perhaps mean, it is unlikely there will be a ROM soon?
But both have non-removable batteries, which sounds really idiotic.
Which other phone would you suggest in that price range, with similar specs? For which there is already (or soon will be) a fully functional alternative ROM?
I am asking because I own a Sony xperia E1 (yes, I know, stupid me), and even after 21 months there is no ROM ready. This time, I want to be cleverer, and first check the forums, before I buy the hardware.
What do you suggest? Any hint much appreciated!
Thanks a lot for your time!
P.S.:
Another (much pricier, probably too much for me?) suggestion was the Sony Z5 compact, but after my E1 experience I am not a big Sony fan anymore... (?)
But yes, all 3 phones are "small" - I really don't want a semi-tablet sized telephone.
Hi,
Out of the three phones I would advice the Sony Z5 compact... it's an amazing and solid device .... By far the best out of the three. If you are reluctant because of the experience you had with the E1, relax ... it's totally different. On the very plus side, the development is quite alive for all Sony device and you will probably extend it's longer then the other ones.
If you find out that you can't get, because it cost double the price of the 2 others. I would recommend the Wiko ufeel.
One friend of mine have it and I played a bit with it. It's a solid device. Beautiful (yes it depends), smooth, fast. The screen is not that great (not to say poor). Main camera do a descent job, not outstanding. Battery life is average by my standards (better than my LG G3, worst then the OP2)
... But you will probably never have a custom ROM for it here on XDA. To get it rooted we spend more then 2 weeks ... finally got it rooted with some Russian forums (used G-translate to read).
I would never recommend a Samsung device ... never ever. BULL****.
Depending on you taste and budget, have a look to the OPPO A37 and Huawei P9 lite. I dont know which country you are in, but they should be available all over the world.
My rating:
1. Sony Z5 compact
2. Huawei P9 lite
3. OPPO A37
4. Wiko ufeel
5. A3 (2016)
Continuation of the 2014 thread.
OK, I'll chime in. Just short of paying $1K for the new Note 8, I'd say the Z Ultra still holds its own.
Yup , Z ultra is my dailly driver for almost every thing , amazing battery and running KK, Aosp MM , lollipop , marshmellow and Noughat almost every thing , I bet it will run Oreo as well , coz of its powerful hardware ... if by any mean we will get the binaries and some devs who are still working on building .for this amazing machine..

a b s o l u t e l y !!!
I can ask you a tip ...
I had this terminal just came out, but then I sold it, now I bought it back, and as soon as I got installed a number of roms, but in all the roms I tried the battery convinces me. I changed the battery, but I think but I do not think the situation is combiata.
What rom you use?
Anyone still using Sony ultra z in Nvember 2020? I got myself a Huawei mate pro30 - like its speed , camera and the fact I can install as many applications that I like without worrying for its storage space and memory. Yet scrolling Facebook just on it just made me missed my Sony ultra z - I miss the big screen and the Xperia Chinese keyboard which offers t9 English keyboard and ability to write Chinese on it. I bought Huawei mate30¤ pro as it's half its original retail price and the fact of it has 5G option makes it an easy ( but regrettable decision)...

Yeah, still using it, for the same purpose I purchased it back in 2014. With OruxMaps it gives a great Bicyle GPS. It is easy & Cheap to repair (Battery, Screen, all easy to get) and I even bought a second one as backup. Latest Android 5 updates were supplied from this forum until end of last year - what more can you expect? Further Software updated would be great, but it will even continue to work without...
