Hello, mates, I just recently noticed this beautiful phone and I am looking forward to getting one. I've been reading reviews on the net and posts here on xda, and I still haven't made my mind. Do you like this phone and would you recommend it, or better should I buy some other phone for the same price? I noticed, that people complain about poor battery life and lack of official lenovo support. Is that right?
Thanks for answers and cheers!

I'm now one week user. I tried offical rom and custom rom.
Phone is very nice. I love it. I want to share + and - 's with you.
+ Phone's exterior is very different. attracts everyone's attention. you cant compare it with Samsungs toy plastic body. Its nice
+ Screen is very good. 1080p giving very good experiance with photos videos.
+ Camera is good .( but after custom rom i cant get same performance... Sadly.)
+Antutu is 22000. Thats enough for me.
+ I never faced with stupid erors as my old gionee
- Lenovo forget the put a cooler fan to phone. (I'm serious.. Think a gaming laptop without a cooling fan) You can use this phone in winter under the blanket or, you can cook pizza on it. Your call.
- There is no LPG or diesel engine on it, that means that heating taking it's energy from battery. (Total life is 1 day.)
- Wifi is very fast but signal performance weak i think. (maybe its about my custom row rom)
- Lenovo dont care about the k900 users anymore. We already gave our money, why do they waste their precious times with us ha?..
Latest + coment is,
+ We have still rom developers for K900 indeed and they are still working for us.. Many thanks to them.
Final: It has too many negative comments but still i'm happy to be a user of K900.. If some day our developers can provide 4.4Kitkat, it will be perfect. :good:
Hey, thanks for response. Pros are exactly what I though to myself. Could you give more info about your usage and standby usage, what is the most battery draining stuff (wifi, mobile data and etc.)? I really love the looks of this baby but will it be used with all it's potential in europe? Are qubex or vibe roms are used further than asian region?
Cheers!

I was an early adopter of the OnePlus One and strongly supported the company.
I was patient and waited to get my OnePlus Two invite, but I was not pleased that OnePlus was repeating the invite system. Still, I stuck with it.
This past Sunday, OnePlus sent me an invite (a holiday weekend)! But they sent it to my old email address (the address that I was using at the time I got the OnePlus One). I had changed my contact email on the OnePlus site a few weeks ago.
I didn't discover this invite until AFTER the 24 hour period had passed, so my invite was invalid.
I was bummed but nicely contacted customer service and the rep was very nice and helpful, and filled out out a service ticket. I was assured I'd hear back within 24-48 hours, but I heard nothing.
After the two days passed, I contacted customer service again, and another rep helped me by saying they will respond to my issue within 24 hours. Again, I heard nothing.
I've had it. I just ordered my Moto X Pure Edition. I went to Amazon, selected my item, and completed the purchase like a regular person.
It's so refreshing to just order a phone and expect to get it in a few days. It's not funny anymore.
#NeverSettle. I took OnePlus's advice and didn't settle.
Bummed about it, but psyched to get my Moto X.
Sucks. Got my OPT and loving it!

Just buy one on swappa.com. There are a **** ton so you will only pay barely over Retail.
Yeah I got an invite on holiday weekend I just bought right away. I got the phone on Thursday is a nice upgrade but you shouldn't feel to bad is not a crazy upgrade it feels like a oneplus oneS lol.
I have currently my Oneplus Two send in for replacement, but since the Two isn't as fascinating as I thought and the Moto X Style is in my opinion better at all than the two, I will sell the Two when it arrives at home.

Better screen, SD-Card slot, better support, less heat and in my case a better quality. Enough arguments?
EDIT: Two more: Better firmware and even after it launched only some days before better community support. The Two only has a weird chinese TWRP where nobody knows who actually made it.

And that's my problem. Most of the ROM's are from the chinese forum, so I don't know what is working or not. With the Style I have the chance that more English speaking people will work on it.

Better screen? No, it has a higher resolution display and people are reporting horrible battery life like 2h SOT bad because of that screen so think again. SD-Card is not very necessary when you have 64gb of storage. Better support? Moto was one of the slowest OEMs to update their phones with last year's Moto X that was one of the biggest complaints. Less heat? OPT doesn't get hot? Ive had it for 2 weeks and not once it did it get even remotely hot, all the reviewers said the exact same thing. Better firmware? Refer to what I said above about updates and their software is less feature packed than Oxygen, even though Oxygen is still rough around the edges. And better community support? you got to be ****ting me on this. OnePlus phones always had the largest community/developer support compared to any phones. They are up there with Nexus devices.

The SOT thing is bull****. 4hrs are minimum. It is also reported in the Style forums here. With support I mean the customer support. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Mine got during playing really hot at the metal edges.
For the software I can only refer to the semi working fingerprint scanner and homebutton. The only one thing I like about Oxygen is the dark theme, that's it.
The community/dev support was big when the Oneplus One came out. But now, it's ver slow. Nobody can get a good ROM with all functions working, because Oneplus doesn't release the drivers for the fingerprint scanner. Yes, they don't have to, but what does the releaxed attitude towards unlocking the bootloader help when you only have barely working ROM's?
I don't want to start a rough discussion. Everybody can decide for themeselves which phone they like more. Oneplus changed my attitude towards them when they took nearly three weeks to send me a correct RMA ticket! I will test the Style. I don't really need the fingerprint scanner, but regarding Android Pay, NFC would be more interesting than the fingerprint scanner.

The Style had me interested until I saw the battery life results. While some people are able to get 4 hours SOT, I've seen a ton of reports of people struggling to get much better than 3 hours, which is what I was expecting. Development for the OP2 will pick up once more developers are able to get their hands on one. Mine got warm when I restored my apps and once in awhile when I play games but it's not unbearable. I'll take a fingerprint reader over NFC too. I'd be more interested in LGs next Nexus device over the Style, but that's just me!
But seriously, for those people with OPT that have somewhat unresponsive fingerprint scanner/home button. I didn't have that issue, and 1 of my friend didn't have that issue. But to me 64bit processor are still better(minus the downclocking), if you are still stay at SD80x it's still okay. Since they already predicted next year SD820 will be released. Still it is up to you

Hello fellow devs.
I'm planning to buy a new android device under $250 which have a nice battery life, pretty good performance , decent camera and also a good record of development in present or near future.
I've short listed three devices which are oneplus x , oneplus one and moto g 2015.
Can someone give me a detailed review about their experiences with the opx ?
Pros , cons or whatever
And is buying a opo , still a nice idea ?
Thanks a lot in advance☺
you have to make your own decision, each device has its power/ weakness points.
for example the oneplus one has a large display, you can get it if u okay with that.
but the moto g will be updated faster than the oneplus x ond the others.
i got the oneplus x a month ago and it is perfect in general, but the battery doesn't last a day with heavy duty, but the battery saver is efficient.
you can search about the battery life.
do not forget about comparing between specifications of devices that you are going to chose one of them.
it's all about what your needs of the device that in your hands.
hit thanks button if that was helpful, and sorry for any bad English.
I'm perfectly OK with 5 inches and I'm on xda, so you can know how can I get timely updates?.
Thanks for giving a heads up.
I'm more concerned abt the performance difference between opx and opo.

Well that's coz of crappy oxygen os.
I saw some pretty good benchmarks which were even more than moto x play.
Btw how's the battery backup ?
Totally yes! Had a variety of devices until I ended up with this one (Z3, 5s, Nexus 6, Flex2).
I have no idea why everybody talks crap about the software. I am a heavy user and haven't encountered a single FC or random reboot.
The build quality is phenomenal. I have the champagne version.
Screen is very bright with almost accurate colors. I preffer it this way because they pop a bit.
Signal quality is excelent, talking experience is loud and smooth.
Downsides? Camera is not a wow factor, but it does it's job.
Very slippery without a case.
Hard to find compatible accesories.
Ignore stupid benchmarks. Watch for example a comparison between HTC A9 that outbenches this phone by far, but in day to day tasks, Oneplus X wipes the floor with it.
Thanks for the review. Luckily i got an invite 10 mins ago!!?
Feeling so excited abt the device.
What screen on time are u getting on the device ?

I'm doing 5h SOT normal use, from 100% to 15-20%, more than one day (normally 36h use): whatsapp, tapatalk, carbon, flipboard, some chrome navigation, gps, maps. I think it's a great battery performance, stock software (Oxygen 2.1.3-X), no root.

I've recently bought this phone which I'm quite pleased with however I've noticed there's absolutely no Roms or tweaks for this phone. I'm really shocked as every previous moto phone had so much development it's unreal.
Why is that?
The first thing I thought I would do is root and try all the tweaks customise etc. But boy it's dry out there.
What's happened?
Is there any other forum which anyone can recommend?

There is one ROM so far based on stock, but no not a lot of open development for this device. I imagine its just lack of users really. It doesn't seem that this phone has the same adoption rate as say the Moto X, which had a ton of users because of its low price.
That being said, there IS a custom Kernel that sets the clock speed of the unlocked Moto Z, to be the same as the VZW moto z (significantly higher) which is a nice feature.
That's a real shame, moto priced themselves out. This phone missing couple of essential features like waterproof and wireless charging which would have made all the difference.
Real nice looking phone nevertheless, wish screen was slightly bigger 5.9" min.
Why would you even root this phone ? Battery life 12hours sot vibrant display is awesome and performance is like snapdragon 821 what would you need more? If you unlock the bootloader and root android pay and some apps don't work it's not worth the hassle and it will only get worse if somebody tries to tweak or mod it.

12 hours of SoT ?? ... You must be using a Moto Z Play.
I think this thread was for Moto Z (XT1650)
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am so happy with the battery life, it is so good after Note 8. This is the result after 4 days of usage with Note 9

guess that can't hold on for one day , although i don't have one .
This screen on time is pretty similar to what many get in Note 8 . So reviewers r right, there is very little or marginal battery life improvement as compared to N8 .

There are no reviews out. Just first impressions. And most are crap. Android Pit just posted on article where he got 9 hrs of SOT over the weekend. That is pretty damn good if that keeps up.
Note 9 seems to gain 1+ hour only of screen on time compared to note 8. Regulary my Note 8 when it reaches 30% my SOT becomes 3.30 at max brightness (seems like note 9 SOT becomes 4.30 SOT). My note 8 with optimisation delivers me 6.30-7 hours SOT with 16 hours usage (using both wifi and mobile data).
Its predictable since battery is 20% increased only.
Next year they should pull 5000 mah. Still good job,sammy.
I am pretty sure those who optimize there phones will gain more than this.

My point exactly there are no reviews out yet! Toms guide is not reliable at all!
Well come on 700 Mah more won't give you 2 hours SOT. Impossible. If your Phone lasts all day long (like me I get 6.30-8 Hour SOT in 16 hours period with black theme and optimization). Then no reason to upgrade, specially with barley any camera improvements or ui changes.
Josh from Android authority reported 5 hours SOT while taking too many pics during his day.

Nobody knows until it is in the hands of people and reviews come out from legitimate sources. So far I seen a huge improvement from different reviewers on Twitter who posted screenshots. Either way, if you don't want to upgrade that is fine. Nobody is forcing you too.
Also, Joshua Vergara had 40% left after that. So at least be honest!

Bro., no point in getting angry. Would love to buy N9, but trying to ascertain facts before i spend 1000 plus Dollars on this one. Everybody has the right to find & discuss facts and decide . Some facts may eventually turn out to be propaganda, maybe positive or negative. So, relax and lets try finding out facts, we are not pronouncing any judgements here and moreover, no body is going to listen to me or you if we praise or post negative about N9, everybody has the sense to Google or maybe look for actual life reviews and decide .

Hey, I just did. Check out the video in my previous post.

Pretty cool but not impressive considering you can get the same battery life on Note 8 (6.30-8) with black theme and optimisation. Note 9 seems to give you 1+ more screen on time than the note 8 as expected from 20% battery increase.
The Note 9 had 15% battery compared to a dead s9+.
It all comes to day to day usage.
