Hi,
I want to buy a phone and I am little confused with the two phones. One Plus 3 and Moto Z Play
One Plus 3 - OS updates? Aren't great with updates?
One Plus 3 - Battery life? Not that great?
One Plus 3 - Warranty Issues in India?
One Plus 3 - All the rest good config. etc for the price.
Moto Z Play - OS updates? Stock OS so I should get it quickly.
Moto Z play - Good Battery life
Moto Z Play - No issues with Warranty etc.
Moto Z Play - SD 625 processor with 3GB RAM.
Question is what should I buy? if I get faster updates on One Plus 3 I will just go for it?
Can anyone help me with this little confused on what to buy?
Thanks!

I think you go for one plus 3. It have great features.
If you concerned about the one plus 3 above point then go for Moto z play.
Os updates -
If you stick to stock os updates and faster os updates then go for Moto z play.
If you want custom roms support then one plus devices have good support than Moto.
Battery Life -
There is no much difference in battery life in these two devices. One plus 3 support quick charge that can charge your android faster than Moto.
Warranty-
I don't know. It may have warranty issues in one plus one devices.
Motorola not having any issue in warranty.
If you want good configuration then one plus 3 is great choice.

Lol are you kidding! Moto z play has the best battery around by a margin period. If OnePlus 3 is around 4 to 5 hours sot then
10 to 12 hours is z play.
It's basically your usage and priority. If battery usage is your priority and you are a mediocre user with no super heavy games then z play is better.
Else OnePlus 3 hands down if you are a heavy user and best specs to value ratio.
Update is tricky. Moto will surely ensure you get Android n and o. Decent updates. OnePlus has a bad reputation with updates. Look at 1+2 or 1+x. But it's improving with 1+3. But only future will tell you how it goes. 1+3 has already got the Nougat update while z play should this month.
Anyways both phones are very good you won't go wrong with either.

If I were you, I'll go with the Moto G 2014. It'll get the latest update faster from Google *cough* Android L *cough* lol. And I'm pretty sure it will have more devs support. I'm using a Grand 2 myself, though should've waited a bit longer for the Moto G 2014, but I'm still happy with the Grand 2. Anyway that's my opinion, it's your pick. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with any of the two devices
As a Grand 2 user... I'm having hard time in gaming and multitasking for long periods of time... Also heating issues make me sick more than a nausea!
I'll get Grand 2.
Moto G 2014 wins:
Faster official android operating system updates
Galaxy Grand 2 wins:
In my opinion, almost everything else.
Grand 2 would be a better choice over Moto G.
I'm planning to buy either the Redmi Note 3 or the Le2 and can't decide which is better.
I'll list the pro's and cons for each. I hop you guys can provide a sound argument for which is better. Both of these phones are priced the same at 11,999 INR. And both of them have very similar specs. Otherwise both of them have 5.5" 1080p displays, 16MP rear facing camera, all the same sensors.
LeEco Le2
1. Snapdragon 652 (4 a72 cores, 4 a53 cores)
2. USB type C port for CDLA audio (no 3.5mm headphone jack)
3. Thinner and Lighter than Redmi Note 3 (7.5mm and 154g)
4. Quick Charge 2.0
5. 3000 MaH battery.
6. No SD card support.
7. 8MP front facing camera
8. No custom ROM support (yet)
9. Fingerprint sensor detects at 0.150 secs
Redmi Note 3
1. Snapdragon 650 (2 a72 cores, 4 a53 cores)
2. 8.7mm thin and 164g
3. Quick Charge 1.0
4. 4000 MaH battery
5. SD card supported
6. 5MP front facing camera
7. Custom ROMs are avialable
8. Fingerprint sensor detects at 0.300 secs
So it seems to be a matter of wanting a thinner,lighter phone with updated specs in the case of Le2 Vs more battery and expandable storage but older specs.
I plan to flash custom roms soon, but I would like to know, if it's getting the latest specs that's better than having more usability(with extra battery life and storage capacity).
Please help. Any advice is welcome.
P.S I've owned a Moto E 1st gen, been on cm ever since it came out.
It all comes down to your opinion and preference, le2 doesn't have sd card support, usb type c headphone jack,it has good scope for custom ROMs as it has snapdragon processor but I came here to know if le2 has any active development but there is no seperate forum or thread for it yet it may be in the near future but redmi note 3 has a specific section already because it launched before le2
You can buy le2 if you feel 32 gb is enough and you will be content with it, if you are like me and will download large files like movies,songs of high definition play many games then you shold buy the redmi note 3 with 128 GB memory card support because 32gb just wouldn't be enough, I saw some place saying that redmi note 3 can even support up to 256 GB maybe don't remember where I saw it though
In performance le2 would have an upper edge but just a tad bit. But the camera lens of le2 looked ugly to me and i saw the comparison of both the phones cameras and the le2s camera was a BIG no-no for me because it captured day light pictures of flowers as if they were in low light, I was having the same doubt about which phone to buy so I researched a little bit for the camera review and found redmi note 3 to better just look it up in Google, bcoz I'm unable to post link here
Just hang around for a bit and see what goes on in xda regarding the development
The link to redmi note3 forum-
forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3
There is development for both snapdragon and mediatek look out for available ROMs for snapdragon . And something called le2 pro with better specs than le2 is releasing soon just look it up.
And lol I am using the moto e 1st gen too on stock android and i typed all this on my phone
Both of those will be hard to get any real development as developers don't buy either of those devices.
So don't use development as any real way to determine if you are gonna get the device.
I've decided to go for the Redmi Note 3. But it doesn't seem to be in stock for now (Flash sales). Figured the Le2 wouldn't give me enough screen on time, I travel a lot, and GPS and 4g would kill that 3000Mah battery in two to three hours flat. (Lol, especially with Pokemon Go coming out and all). And I'm using the Moto e 1st gen too, cm13 . Camera doesn't have to be great. Come on... coming from moto e, you should know that, that phone didn't even have auto focus, leave alone low light performance XD. So I'm just looking for the best price to performance ratio phone for my budget.
And I was looking from more of a hardware perspective to buy a phone, rather than development. Thanks for replying on this post. :good:
Choose the more experienced one
LeTv is actually a pretty new phone developer, they have just started the phone marketing recently. Their TV is actually really nice. But Xiaomi has been doing smart phone for a few years already. Recommend you to get Redmi, because it might do better in a time base.

I just ordered my redmi note 3 from amazon yesterday, I feel very happy I hope you get to order one too, and the person who said there is not much development for redmi note 3 is wrong because it has a fully working cm13

I ordered it a couple of days back, only snapdeal could deliver to my address. Should be here before 18th. This would be the first time I would be trying anything other than stock android (other than HTC sense from cupcake xD)

Don't forget to video record when your opening the package incase of fraud you can have it as proof, and if taken as cash on delivery call the courier person in and make somebody give him a glass of water while you open the package and then give him the cash, you have to be careful shopping online from flipkart and amazon, and extra careful shopping on snapdeal.And I like stock Android my moto e is almost stock android, but miui is much better and with the 3 GB ram its going to be super smooth.BTW my phone is arriving on Wednesday,can't wait XD
I already paid with credit card. Thing is, the courier is India post. But fortunately the post office is nearby and I know the delivery guy. So hopefully there shouldn't be any problem.
And thanks foe the video recording suggestion. I'll do that just in case.
But another problem has come up. Apparently it's difficult to unlock the bootloader for xiaomi devices now.
Hi Guys, Please help me choose on these two monsters. Price not an issue all i care about is (Screen - Sound - Roms ).
Thanks
Battery life is better on mido since being 4100mah vs 3500 something!

Screen, Sound will be better on Moto Z Play. Especially sound which is pretty mediocre on RN4. Also the AMOLED display is superb on Moto Z Play.
As for Roms RN4 is better choice, it's much more active community and with kernel sources released lately it will only get better. Also RN4 has much better battery.
If price doesn't matter definitely get Moto Z Play. :good:

You might improve it slightly with roms and mods but not that much.
Also Moto Z Play has clean android without any stupid vendor UI's which alot of people might like..
Without bias (as redmi note 4 owner) Moto Z Play is much better device honestly. (but it also costs more obviously )

What about Z play vs Lenovo P2 ? Which one better for Roms and long support from Developers ?
In store near my home there is P2 with 310$ - Z play 338$ - RN4 265$
Im in confuse between all the three
"Moto" brand is owned by Lenovo, so about the same.
Personally from the 3 phones you mentioned i would buy Moto Z Play.

The Moto Z Play. It costs a lot more for a reason.
The only thing the RN4 has better is longer battery life.
Lenovo p2 is good
Hello everybody
I'm thinking about buying this phone, probably the X820. But I wanna ask you for advises, what are the pros & cons of this monster?
I've heard that there is some issues with camera, fingerprint scanner... are those issues solved by software update?
Does the 6GB Ram worth the extra money? some bench pls...
Regards
It's a flasher's paradise/playground for those who don't want to spend a fortune on a phone with great value in terms of specs. If you won't be flashing ROMs, then youtube EUI and see if you are comfortable with it.
Don't expect updates from LeEco. They might update. Just don't expect it. And don't expect much support from LeEco. I have few problems with fingerprint sensor. But then this is the first phone I've had that has one, so what do I compare it to? lol. Camera IMO is really good. Quick charge 3 is really nice to have.
I'm quite happy with the Max 2. It's fast and a great value as long as you're getting the best current price from one of the Chinese outlets. I came from a Moto G4, and this phone performs so much better.
I've been using this device for 9 months, still pretty good value for money considering the hardware it offers. Leeco's support is disappointing, but you just have to deal with. I mean, I use this phone in Europe without official support, so I don't expect much. I would be very happy for seeing official Nougat on this device though.
Some people have issues with the fingerprint sensor, the cause has not been identified.
Camera is decent, personally I don't use it often. But if I do, the result is okay.
Luckily, some guys work really hard on this device here in XDA, which is very appreciated.
Thank you for your answers!
Support is the big problem with chinese smartphones manufacturers.. But since LeEco has released source code for its phones, things are moving, and I can see that there is an official LineageOS rom and many other roms.. If the developers continue their work on this device, it'll be more than enough for me. Of course it'll be great if LeEco resolves the issues with fps and camera through an official update to nougat or Android O when released.
Checkout the LeEco Le Pro 3 Elite, same specs as the Le Pro 3, but it has a 820 instead of a 821. The 6gb version is a little bit more expensive. Don't know if it is worth.. Battery and maybe size are the only "cons". The phone works like charm. Hope this helps you

Very big cons is fixed rom size with no card slot. I decided to buy it but now would like rather Redmi 4x Note.

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..

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...
