Hi guys i already have xiaomi mi5 32gv version...should i change it with max 2 and why? Wich is the diferrents between these phones.
Im waiting your answers
I have my Max used for a few day now an I'm very pleased with it's performance and the OS. My last phone was the Sony Z1 with a SD800. The Max is much faster. I don't play games, but love how fast it is in everday use. I bought it on gearbest and flashed the original LeEco Rom. Fingerprint is working fine for me. The loudspeaker is very loud, but quality gets bad when you tune it to the maximum, at normale volume it's quite good (for listening to music in the bathroom e.g.). I payed 200€ with shipping coasts an taxes, I can't imaging a better phone for that price tag, I'm really happy with it.
I haven't tried the Mi5 so I can't comment on that. But for it's price the lemax2 is hard to beat even tough it probably isn't the best Phone. I Have issues with the speed of the fingerprint sensor and the capacitive buttons are not sensitive enough. But given it's price I can't easily look around these minor flaws ?
I just decided for the Max 2 over the Mi 5 - for the simple reason that it is cheaper and the unlocking procedure of the bootloader seems to be less of a drag.
I have been with Miui devices for years now, after being an early adopter of Miui at version 2.
But the unlocking thingy really was a good reason to ditch Xiaomi.
From all I read and see the Mi 5 still is the better device - quicker, better display. But then again it only is FHD, while the Max 2 has MUCH better display resolution.
My display is very good, much better then the Sony Z1 was. Good viewing angles, nice colors and sharp as hell.
Yeah, fingerprint is not the fastest one. Takes my usually about one second to unlock, but that's ok for me.
Camera isn't the best, but good enough for me (also better than Z1), flash is really bright.
Built quality is almost perfect, feels very solid and nice. Battery life seems ok, but not much more than one day.
Quickcharge is VERY fast, I logged over 4A charging current, so you can go from 20% to 70% in less than 30 minutes.
Miui is much better than Leeco's software.
Reasons to get the Max 2 are: LTE bands, screen size and resolution.

I really dont care aboyt bands i care about battery cameras andspeed.
So, it is worth to change from mi5 to le max 2?
See the comparison of the two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaCdcBj1sP4
I probably wouldn't change from Mi 5 to Le Max 2. But if I am in the market for a phone, I would definitely pick Le Max 2.

Then keep the Mi5. Battery and camera should be better according to tests.
Also keep in mind, while the Le Max 2 might load and reload apps faster, the Mi5 will be smoother in day-to-day usage. My Redmi Note 2 reacts much quicker, for example if I press the homebutton. The Le Max 2 needs software improvement. I'd switch back to a Redmi Note 3 or 4 but that 5.7 inch 1440p screen is just too sweet
I want to share my opinion pros/cons after use this device for a week. I would frankly say what is good, what is bad.
The unit i have is Xiaomi mi note 2 128gb/6gb non-global version.
cons:
color shift on curve edges, it look abit blue by eye ( when screen is display light tone - white ). This not effect with dark tone color ( It look normal from flat to edges curve )
camera it come with older build compare to mi5s which announce 2 months before mi note 2. Mi note 2 come with imx318 which release since Feb 2016 compere to mi5s come with imx378 which release on Sep 2016. Look at that gap for possible improvement make me feel abit disappoint. ( but it also has a pros from sacrifice **see in Pros**)
It doesn't come with 3D touch (T_T)
LTE bands for non-global version. Why they remove FDD B8. but mi5s have 5 bands include B8
Benchmark Performance for 128/6gb model abit disappoint. It only get around 110k-125k on antutu, 1800SC 3900MC on Geekbench. Compare to other phone with this spec even mi note 64/4gb got higher. You also can see from this link: https://www.kimovil.com/en/best-smartphones-moviles/best-smartphones-antutu-benchmark
( I think this must be a software issue, with this spec it can improve with better ROM and Kernel. Still waiting for it )
Announce on the same day with Mi mix. Which pull down the hype on mi flagship (mi note2). Cause less developer taking eyes on mi note 2 over Mi mix by comparing on both forum.
Price per performance compare to mi5s.
Pros:
Battery 4070 mAh. DAMN!!! this make no wonder using this phone through a day. Daily use, message, phone call, browse, social, take photo, Bluetooth streaming, gaming, watch youtube still get spare juice before go to bed. No need to carry power bank around.
Feeling so good on hand. Its thin with that battery size. The dual curve edge feel premium. Whole Metal build + gorilla glass.
Spec sheet. even though i talk about performance above, But with this spec hardware there is huge gap to improve by software later.
Camera. Sacrifice newer model but what we get is image stabilization @4K and higher Megapixel. wide angle front facing camera.
Sound both on speaker and headphone quite good.
Equip with all kind of connectivity even infrared.
Fast and accurate fingerprint sensor.
Conclusion:
In real world scenario, i didn't feel any lag or slow performance. It still one of the fast/best phone in the market today. Camera is good just dont read the spec sheet. Feel premium on hand. Huge battery capacity more than enough for daily use, plus quick charge. Good sound. fast fingerprint scan. Have to wait abit for custom rom and kernel. Better if you can get global version.

You can't really use these benchmark test for anything serious.
Here's my results:

Does it play x265/hevc well? (use mx player + custom codec)
This is the thing I'm looking for in my next phone.

SD 821 is much more powerful than tegra x1 and yes it plays 10 bit hevc videos. I have Nvidia shield TV too, ja it's good but SD 821 is faster and better.

Yes, I saw many 4gb mi note 2 benchmark around 145-160k. With my unit (6gb mi note 2) i expect to see better ram performance but i got even lower than 4gb model. I think with newer rom update could improve ram management on 6gb model.
But as i said on original post that real world use i didnt get any pull down performance.
Do you need to wake the phone to use the fingerprint sensor? Or is it like most phones that can be woken up and unlocked with a fingerprint scan?

You have to press to the home/fingerprint sensor to wake and unlock the phone at the same time.
How is the display of the mi note 2? Many reviewers are quite disappointed by the display. I wonder how sharp it is because of 5.7" amoled screen. Pentile matrix and 1080p resolution with that screen size could be a concern for me.
I just can't decide between MI note 2 and oneplus 3t...oneplus is much much cheaper than MI note 2 in 128 GB configuration and I guess it will be available much faster than mi note 2. But I want the edge screen so badly.

Frankly I would say that display is better then any other IPS screen in terms of color reproduction. Brightness is fine but Xiaomi 5s is brighter at max. It is not an issue for me because I keep brightness at 80%, in bright condition. Here's a bad thing I think, the screen changes to bluish tint if you look at it at angle but most noticeable if display is white. When it comes to sharpness it's fine to me but I think many people will say it's not sharp enough because they just happen to know that there are 2k displays on the other phones. They would never guessed what resolution particular displays has by just looking at it. OnePlus 3t it might be better in some aspects but personally it's looking boring to me and I would never consider one for myself. Besides I hate when camera frame is taller/higher than surface as it's case with OnePlus. The other thing you have to put in consideration is MIUI and for now there is no global firmware but I flashed Xiaomi.eu ROM and it's flawless. There are other phones in the same category like Leeco le pro 3 or vivo xplay6. Best regards

Ihave not read this wrong, as of November, there has been a 128GB/6GB combination of the 5.7" Xiaomi Mi Note 2 with a Global ROM? Or the CN one with litterally 4 or 5 unlocked bands?
So this phone must be woken up for the finger print to work. It doesn't try reading a fingerprint tap on the button and ,must be woken up to work?

That is correct, but still it's done by one touch, while yu pressing the button the fingerprint scanner is unlocking the locked screen at same time.
Mi note 2 global version is about to be realest but all my Xiaomi mi phones are compatible in my country ( Denmark) so I am not bothered.

I think the word disappoint for display of mi note 2 is under expectation. Everyone who plan to buy this phone would expect to see gorgeous IPS curve display. But after you get the phone hand on and the color on the edge doesn't seem as expectation so it would be abit disappoint.
As a mi note2 user I would say first impression was abit disappointed for display. The color on curve edge seem abit blue (only on white background) and abit warm tone display (compared to 1+2 i had used before mi note2).
But after using this phone for few days you will get use to color of display. Now i didn't feel any color change on the curve edges (after get used to) but the curve edge of screen still make you feel good on hand. Normally we look directly to screen not to the curve so right now color on the curve doesn't make me feel bad otherwise curve is still curve every time you hold your phone you always feel good on hand.
Thanks for the feedback. I personally don't care about other phones 2k displays (VR is not of relevance for me at all). I'm running the redmi note 3 pro international at the moment and the display is just fantastic. I just don't want a downgrade in display quality for my next phone which will cost about 4x more than the redmi note 3. In general the note 3 pro is already the perfect phone for its price tag (except for camera quality) but I always happened to be one of the enthusiast guys and I'm very curious about the curved screen.
An other thing that bothers me is the battery life. Reviewers speak about 4-5hrs on screen time. On the note 3 you can easily get between at least 7 hrs up to 10 hrs for some ppl. The difference in screen size is just 0.2 inches and the capacity is the same.
So what is the battery life for you guys?
The camera seems to be decent but it seems that pixel and s7/edge still play in their own league tho...
BTW: is anyone using the edge functions on the mi note 2?

Battery life in my opinion is the best i ever used. It take me pass daily usage with 30%+,- before go to bed.
Yesterday i put phone on airplane mode during 9.30 hours flight. Mi note 2 is handle idle so well.

1. Yes, bootloader must be unlocked and TWRP for Mi note 2 must be flashed at first.
2. There is a guide on xiaomi.eu site how to do it : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-29.37056/

I purchased the 4x international version. I had a Samsung Galaxy Note5 before this. I don't care what specs say this phone is really nice. I say take the chance and get it. I doubt you will be disappointed.
Pros:
Great Battery Life 24 hour of medium to heavy use with 8-10h LTE only consume 50% battery
Screen is nice
Android 7 (many custom rom if you dont like MIUI)
Looks expensive and feel expensive
PRICE
Cons:
Camera is what you pay for
Snapdragon 625 with Adreno 506 is below average for heavy gamer, great for normal usage
No quick charge, took around 2.45h to charge from 5% to 100%
Hard to get a good screen protector with the 2.5d screen

If you will choose between:
Redmi note 4
Nokia 5
Motorola moto g5
Sony Xperia l1
What you will choose?!
Don't forget Lenovo P2
After weeks of waiting and reviewing, reading and thinking, i finally put my money on Redmi Note 4.
Got the Black 64GB 4GB ram version
My reasons:
More than enough memory - Ram & Internal
Great build quality
Almost best Hardware to cost - value for money
Stable Rom build
****load of development in terms of ROM's & Kernels
2 yrs warranty from the supplier here - including screen and water damage
Im not a heavy gamer or a photo geek so dont really care for Gaming or low light photos. My Note 5 still takes gr8 images
Hence thats my Vote

Is redmi note 3 pro better for gaming than rn4?
It will give slightly more fps, but much worse battery life.
Sorry to jump in here, but i am also shopping for a new phone
I'm currently using huawei honor 5x, it was a great phone at a cheap price with plenty of XDA support
however, the honor 5x is starting to boggle down a bit on Nougat and i want to expand pass the 2gb RAM
The OnePlus 3T is what I really desire, but I can't pull the trigger with that price tag
I've been going back and forth between the Nexus 5x and Redmi Note 4X
the specs seem very respectable on the 4gb 64gb version and i'm having a hard time finding a better phone at this price point
with plenty of XDA support for this device, i'm starting to really lean towards this RN4x
They are both good phones, thing is you wont get new Nexus 5x only used or refurbished which often comes with poor exhausted batteries.
Also im not big fan of Snapdragon 808/810.. they heat up like crazy, which also results in poor battery life and thermal throttling.
I remember LG G Flex 2 i had back in the day with Snap 810, after gaming session i could probably use it as iron press.
I am on a nexus 5, fed up with slow Oreo and low battery and no Volte. How is this device comaped to N5? I will use a custom ROM like PE or LOS, so how is
1)Camera
2) Battery
3) Performance
Compared to nexus 5?
Did anyone updgrade from nexus 5? What is your opinion?
I am eyeing this device since it has official LOS.
Also, is there much difference while playing a game or casual use between SD800,625? Unable to decide between Lenovo Z2 plus and this device.
I will be getting the Snapdragon variant in my market

SD800 is slightly faster looking purely at performance but it heats up pretty quickly and is not very battery efficient (28nm. manufacturing process)
SD625 is amazing when it comes to battery because it's 14nm manufacturing process so the heat is much lower, it's incredibly power efficient and consumes way less battery and generally does not overheat.. it scores about 15k lower in Antutu which is still pretty good.
Camera in Redmi Note 4 is mediocre, Nexus 5 wins here.. especially stock. Homever there are camera mods which help to increase quality, like ported Google Cam with working HDR+.
Battery Redmi Note 4 will destroy Nexus 5, you will be getting atleast twice better battery life compared between the 2. (like i mentioned earlier it's due to the super power efficient SD625 and 14nm manufacturing process but also pretty big battery - 4100mAh)
Edit:
In thread title you are talking about Nexus 5 but in post you are talking about Lenovo Z2 Plus.. make up your mind, and yeah Lenovo Z2 Plus is much better than both Nexus 5 and Redmi Note 4.

It's decent but only in day light, night and low light pics are pretty bad, same goes for videos which additionally have some issues with LOUD sound, like in concerts. Just Google it, you should find samples easily.
Generally if you use camera alot I would not recommend Redmi Note 4.

Nexus 5 has a pretty bad camera too?. If it at par with nexus 5 , great! Else , bummer...
Hi, I have both. I actually upgraded from Nexus 5 (still have it, but with cracked sceen). The battery life can not be compared as the Nexus has very bad and the Note 4 has excellent. The camera middle range both (for me enough). My Note has 4G RAM, so the performance is better (newer phone anyway). The screen is also same category. The grip of the Nexus is way much better, than the very slippery Xiao. I really like my Nexus, that´s why I have it for like 3,5 years already, but dated a bit. The Note is 1 month old and I´m satisfied with it.
Sorry for the bad quality pic, but if you wanna compare the size it´s ok. The Note is somewhat larger and heavier.

You ever used moto g5 plus or Zuk Z2?
I had Nexus 5,Galaxy S6, HTC 10, Axon 7, Huawei P9 and now I "downgraded" to a Redmi Note 4 .
Battery life is awesome. I trip alot and I'm the only one in my group that dosen't carry a battery pack.
Performance is awesome. Yes,for like 15-20 minutes any Snapdragon 805+(805,810,808,820) is faster but the Snapdragon 625 dosen't throttle. In games it's solid as a rock. It's a little laggy in facebook but I don't mind.
Camera is ok. I have a Redmi Note 4 with a Samsung sensor. I have a pretty expansive DSLR if I want more but I never need more in a normal day. The dual flash is strong.
Screen is pretty meh. I have a Tianma pannel and after 4 months of usage I have 6-7 stuck pixels . I don't really mind as I don't really see them in day to day basis . It's not a great screen it's not a bad screen.
I'd buy the Note 4 if I were you.
I wouldn't buy a G5 plus if I were you. Moto delivered it with a 32 bit ROM. Yeah,you'll find 64bit ROMs on XDA but it's laggy,buggy and it will be for a while.

Used zuk z2 plus and redmi note 4 both... Zuk z2 heats too much.. Their ui is not good and battery life also low.... Go for redmi note 4
Either way, you'll be disappointed at some point. Nexus is nexus, nothing can replace that. You will be amazed with battery life but that's pretty much only thing this phone gives. I hate this phone , crappiest phone I've ever had. Run away from Chinese phones.

Battery life is awesome. The camera is mediocre (with Samsung or Sony sensor). With Omnivision sensor, the camera can be quite poor. If you are really into great photography, this is not the phone for you.
I do not change phones very often. I have a redmi note 3 for about 3 years now, and I was looking for Mi 8 to launch in India for a possible upgrade. That's not likely to happen, and Redmi Note 7 is not likely to get launched in India for another month (at least). However, my phone has recently developed some issue which makes the display blank out randomly. Once blanked, it doesn't return for a few seconds (and sometimes for a few mins). Further, there is a constant earphone icon (without any earphones connected) which forces me to take all the calls on loudspeaker mode. This could be due to the recent fall (my phone has several scratches dents due to various falls from different heights), and that makes build quality an important consideration. Thus, I need to buy a new phone at the earliest.
A sale is going to start in a couple of days, which is offering Poco F1 (6/64) @ 19K and Redmi Note 6 Pro (4/64) @ 13K. I'm not much of a gamer. My primary phone usage include: browsing quora, and wi-fi hotspot from my 4G network. What I'm additionally looking for is good build quality, good battery life, and decent rear camera.
Based on the above requirement, and your experience, could you please recommend between Poco F1 and Redmi Note 6 Pro?

I would say the build quality is going to be about the same on both phones. The battery life should be a little better on the redmi as it has a lesser chipset, but same size 4000mah battery capacity. As for the camera, id say try and find some comparison shots from both cameras. According to gsm arena, they sound like they have the same cameras, apart from the redmi has a depth sensor lens on the selfie camera. They may use different sensors though?
if you can afford poco f1, then it's a no brainer really.
I guess there is no clear winner here.
