It supported class 10 micro SD card on redmi note 3 pro which formated to fat32. It was a good phone. I used official global dev rom and enjoying it.

Nice phone...
Just one problem...you can either use dual sim or one sim + sd.
But if u take same risk ...u will be able to use both sim with sd....
Overall good phone.
it had its quirks and little problems, but atm there's nothing that can beat it for the price

Hey guyz.
I have a galaxy nexus right now and i really like it after changing from an iphone to an android,i wont go back to ios again !
i have 2 problems with my current galaxy nexus 1:Battery 2:storage
My question is: is the new galaxy s 3 worth to buy ?
and what do you recommend me to get a 16 gb or a 32gb if yuo think i should get it.
will there be any dev that are gonna wow us in the gs3 ?
i dont see an upgrade is necessary if you have gnexus, but still if you need more storage space and battery may be you can go for sgs3.
The devs will surely wow as in the coming months
16gb on the S3 will be for me fine and I am also getting a 32gb card with the phone to expand it. My current S1 has 8gb + 8gb expansion and I still haven't filled both cards but I suppose it all depends on what you want to have on it
i am trying to figure out the exact same thing. i am sure i will buy it, but i think it would be more responsible of me to wait and see what the devs can come up with for my i777.
32gb
I think that 32 gb is the best bet for me but I don't know why I can't wait for it although my gnexus is doing its job but I guess the quad core is the main reason why .
Sell your gnex before it losses its value. It's resale value is taking a nose dive.

If you haven't yet rooted it, using a custom kernel like trinity can do wonders for your battery life.
Storage obviously can't help with

The storage issue on s3 is mitigated by sd cards, but I would still recommend 32gb in case you want to download large apps.
I've just pre-ordered an S3. My provider is only selling the 16gb version (o2 in the UK), so I'm going to put a class 10 64gb microSD in it. This is plenty enough for me.
I'm counting down the days til the end of the month now, and hoping that the clever folk of XDA get some nice custom ROMs and kernels out soon!
it is rooted !
My gnexus is rooted and I am using a trinity kernal the battery is getting better with updates but its nothing compared to gnote that my friend has . I really wanna win the battery life hopefully with the new gs3 !
But I still don't think that 2100 will do the work for a quad core device unless it is stable and rooted
And by the way guys where can I pre order a sim free gs3 in Ireland ? I study there ?
Thanks you for your co op

Well, you can't seriously expect it to compete with a 2500 battery.
The S3's 2100 will no doubt make it more even. The notion that quad core uses more is (kinda) a myth, depending on how well it's designed.
waiting
Well I hope so cause my expectations for gs3 is high and I can barely wait for it .
Hehe
Where can I pre order the gs3 sim free in Ireland
Bumb:cyclops: sorry
There's a new phone to the L series. Looks kinda like the 4x but lower specs. The icons look good and has some handy new features...

I got this phone yesterday, it feel nice and good in hand. And it is surprising fast too.
Really like Quick Translator, did works good. Tried with some Swedish -> Thai. Just hope mods get kick on this phone so root will be available.
Would love to use Link2SD on it.
Cool device and I love it
Pretty old specs for a new phone :/
How much did it cost?
planning to buy one for 79euro with 10 euro contract ... it will replace the old faithfull galaxy s :crying: .... still emotionally attached to it, so it will be a hard time for me ... awaiting more feedback from those of you who allready bought it.. what about battery life ? thanks

That's because it was made as a midrange phone and not as a top end. Excellent for those who are loyal to LG products but can't afford the best of the best.

I personal love it very much, really like white version and it feel good in hand. Nothing special that I could come up with that is bad.
It have what you need, it look more expensive than it is hehe. Well downside I could come up with is camera, wish there was more MP but well look at the price, for the price this phone is really good. Oh one more thing, intern storage should have been larger, but if someone come up with root for this device you can easily use Link2SD.
Love battery life, it's excellent! It's so sexy XD

I was at the local Wallyworld today and they had a new display of Unlocked phones for sale. They didn't have the actual phones on display, but a card that you take to the Electronics desk to get the product. What caught my eye was a phone called "Huawei Ascend Mate 2 Slim". The specs on the card look exactly the same as my Mate 2 that I got on Amazon. The only thing that may have been different was a smaller battery (can't remember if it was noted on the package). The phone is not yet listed on the Walmart.com website. Anyone else see this?? Differences between this phone and the Mate 2? Looks like prices are falling, due to no Kit Kat or Lollipop updates???????

Not quite the same specs. I think that says it only has 8GB of memory.
Next time I am at the store I will get more info. Now that Lollipop is confirmed for our phones, these may sell very well!
New Info
I took a second pic of the info card at Walmart. Other than 8 vs 16 MB memory, and maybe a slightly smaller battery it looks the same at the Mate 2. I didn't see the phone itself. For $249 it looks like a good deal.

Interesting. I dont think it needs to be any slimmer, but if it has a microsd port still, thats a great deal. Thats still amazing battery life.

The battery is the same as the open market HAM2 and it does only have 8GB internal storage. Also, it DOES have the microSD slot. Basically it is the same phone without the 16GB internal storage. Fabulous deal....especially with the announcement of Android L coming first half next year.

I actually just bought this variant, and love it so far. It's almost exactly like my note 2 that died on me awhile back.... Loved the note 2. Unfortunately I can't afford another, nor the note 4 so I figured "It has almost the same specs, I'll give it a whirl" since walmart has the 15 day return policy, so far I'm satisfied and almost love it as much as the Note 2. The bootloader unlock method found on here works as well (Emailed Huawei for the code) Now trying to find an easy way of rooting and looking for TWRP.

Thanks very much! You guys have a bit of a different structure for where your threads go than over at the Note 2 palace as I like to call it. Not going to lie, I miss my baby, but maybe this phone will finally be the motivation that I need to start making my own custom roms for phones, considering development for this doesn't seem a 100% go so far like it is over on the note 2 area. Or at least I haven't noticed yet.

The only phone that is guaranteed Lollipop is the unlocked one sold from Huawei. Do no expect Lollipop on the variants.
What is the model number on this variant?

I just noticed in those images it has a different firmware version. the latest update for the Mate 2 is b148 and it looks like the slim is running b146. I doubt there is any notable difference between the 2 but worth pointing out. It baffles me why release a new version when they were not planning to update the phone at all until all of us that purchased the phone caused them to reconsider and give us lollipop
Do you see in the system prpoerties that it list the phone as having 8gb of Phone Storage and not 16gb. Mine has always said 16gb before and after rooting. I have the cc version.

This new Walmart "slim" varient has a smaller battery and only 8gb storage. Only difference between it and normal unlocked model
Curious if anyone will be switching to the new Xiaomi device when its released?
Device looks nice..
No, I am already happy with OnePlus One. Also Mi4i has only 16 GB internal storage with no SD card slot.
As much as I wanted to try a Xiaomi phone, it just won't get the kind of Dev support that a more international phone gets.
I got one
I have Oneplus One and am very happy with it.
Atleast 15 folks in my office bought it on my recommendation
Bought Mi 4i for my wife. It is a very good phone.
Excellent Camera
MIUI is also pretty impressive. I thought i wouldnt like it after what Cyanogen has been offering... but pretty nice. Got all the tweaks
I have been recommending this now if people are looking for a cheaper phone.
Yes 16GB is a challenge for few... but those who dont mind using OTG, or taking backups on a PC, etc... excellent phone
I'm going to buy Xiaomi Mi Note Pro 4GB RAM 64GB, but I see many different prices on the Internet, the lowest price is $579.99, here: http://www.xiaomidevice.com/xiaomi-mi-note-pro.html , It is true?
I've settled on just keeping the 10T. I returned my Pixel 7 pro and keeping this 10T! The charging and battery life have been quite the turning point for me.
I'll deal with any other issues. I like the phone! Ok, I apologize for my earlier angry posts. I think they were more sadness than anger.
Good to see you back! Cheers
Hope you'll not be ranting again once you update to OOS13.

I love the charging. The android flavor is pretty good. Camera is sufficient for my needs. Battery life has been amazing. Rooted easily with unlocked bootloader. The phone doesn't get hot like the pixel 6a did for me. Performance has been great for me.
Oh yeah, and the possibility of custom ROMs...and the price is amazing for what you get. I traded in my 8t for I think $300, which was a great deal.

I went with 10T for the newer snapdragon processor, faster charging and slightly better price.
The 10 pro has better camera supposedly. So you would have to decide, but I'm sure it's a fine phone as well.
