As most of you will know, Xiaomi decided to change the shape of the notch after the phone was announced.
As a result the first presentations and a lot of the marketing material show the phone with the older U-shaped notch, whereas it is now shipped with a modified (through software) V-shaped notch.
What are your thoughts about all this?
To me the old U-shaped version looks much nicer and it would have been cool if Xiaomi had made the notch type configurable.
I also wonder what chances might be to change the notch shape once custom ROM's are available.
You can set it back into the U shape since the last update
That is awesome news, I did not know that and may have to get one now

Hello,
i wanted to ask if it is possible to have a own forum for Z Pro?
That we can discuss it in the right corner and do not spam the Z forum
I dont think that we will need a new for the Z Pro. It is the same phone but only with a second camera lense...
Bit i think roms and so on wont work on z PRO so new one would be good

how about twrp and root?i wanna buy a umi z pro but i am asking for twrp 1 month from users
Umidigi z pro gets shipped out at the moment. So many users will have it the next week. I think own forum would be great, because the camera hardware is to different and roms and so on wont work for both devices.
How can you be sure ROMs would not work on both , new camera app on new z ROM clearly sane as z pro only the camera driver needs to change and it would be quite easy to check which to install on boot ..so a universal ROM makes sense if we get any custom ROMs as the rest would be the same
Buenos, I finally have the phone in my hands, hope we have a forum of our phone

As far as I know the thing with a Custom ROM with Mediatek processor is not quite easy.
I have my Z Pro for about 2 months and am quite satisfied so far.
As with most devices of this manufacturer, not everything is as promised.
The camera app does not really work.
The images are blurred and not properly focused.
With other camera apps, the images get really good. That surprised me positively.
Hopefully, UMIDIGI can solve this problem with one of the next updates.
I have not installed the update on Android 7 yet, because in the UMIDIGI community is reported by too many problems and bugs.

You can use UMI z twrp. Its the same and root too
My Z Pro fell, then a string of problems followed, even though the screen remained intact. The phone (temperature sensor I suppose) always told me the battery was over temperature, even though it CLEARLY wasn't, and the phone would turn off shortly after. I tried fixing it but ended up making everything worse. Now it just shows the charger icon when plugged in, and quickly turns off shortly after.
I have a oneplus 6, notch is not as big etc, but it happily shows notifications in the notch area....have they yet enabled a feature to show notifications in notch area ? or is there a promised fix on the horizon?

That really is a shame, as notification icons in the notch should be easy to do, they just make them smaller in resolution, you can easily fit say 2 or 3 then the older ones just get push off the end....
If it's easy to do why don't you do it yourself and share here instead of complaining?

Why OP6 user trolling in Poco section?
Trolling nah I am a big fan of all things Android, I like the price point of the POCO F1, it is the right kind of price for me to buy and then to sell my oneplus 6 8gb with the new version ready soon too...as I would prefer to bank the extra in the short term...why not!
I often buy phones and use them for a few days just to test them out, currently playing with a redmi note 5 pro , was using a Mi A2 the other day (now sold) was playing with a A2 Lite a few weeks ago, toying with the Idea of a Mi Mix 2, pretty cheap at the moment.
I was all ready to buy the POCO f1 a couple of weekes ago, but once I read about the notifications.... I bailed....why not, standard feature missing...nah not good, but hoping to read it has been fixed very soon, but might order a Redmi note 6 Pro while I am waiting , but I am presuming that will have the same notification issue too...but at £148 delivered with all taxes paid to the UK it is fun just to try it out for a few days then sell it.

Where did you see it at £148? At this price I'd buy a second one as this phone is amazing. I paid £276 for the 128 GB version.
hey
This is not fixed. You can get a 3rd party to show notifications on the right side of home screen. Costs a few dollars works quite well for me.
I heard you can use a Rom (Lineage or Nitrogen) to remove the notch line altogether so the notifications are underneath.
Coming from an old LG G2 there are quite a few software things that are less "intelligent" in the poco (or MiUi) and quite a few things are arbitrarily non-customizable. The hardware/performance feels fantastic.
There is wasted space on the notch currently. if the watch would be aligned to the left and it would be allowed to remove WiFi and signal icons, I think there should be enough space for around 4 notifications.

Sorry about the wording. That's what I meant. I knew it was needed for gcam.

The Sanity one seems to work well on Xiaomi.eu MIUI 11 ROM. I couldn't get the BSG one to work though. App crashes upon opening
Is the photo quality any better than previous versions?
In my opinion it is very hard to see difference between new version and older versions. However I've noticed stranger things. For example sanity version has not so much advanced settings and you can not remove AWB or improve quantity of frames and quality of image. So i've installed BSG version but there is a strange setting (i'll post it as a screenshot). I don't know which between "google" and "100%" shall I choose due to different weight of photos:
google: 3,14MB
100%: 6,79MB
Really don't know if the heaviest has also the best quality. I'm waiting also for your response
why don't you try? since you have the app tunning. try it yourself.
then share the experience

Google means google's compression algorithm, 100% means low compression. I think the difference in quality is slightly

Thanks. Although in hindsight, I don't think I will purchase this phone because it is too big for one-handed use. I purchased Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro and had the same problem. I prefer smaller devices.
I just updated (latest, android 11, UI realme 2) and phone is now.. well the screen just flashes (on&off every ms) with the UNLOCKED icon on screen. No touch response. Any tips?
Phone is not rooted or tinkered with.
The global version of the Legion phone 2 I bought from Giztop just showed up like 10 minutes ago. I haven't finished checking it out yet, but so far it looks like they have actually been able to put the global rom on the chinese version of the phone. Fingerprint works and so does the front camera which I think was an issue with the previous Legion phone. Here are some screenshots of what I have seen so far during setup
So the global version comes with all the usual Google apps set to default and as far as I can tell nothing from Lenovo. The fingerprint reader is noticibly faster than the Chinese version though I don't know if that is from the software difference or not. It was never very good no matter how many times I redid it on the Chinese rom. The factory screen protector also feels different so that may cause the change as well. Always on display still goes to sleep after a few seconds so that is no different. Notifications so far are working correctly without any kind of configuration required. I also tried changing the launcher. It can be done, but when you swipe an app and hold it just dissapears instead of showing all the running apps. So it sort of works.

My version is 12.5.062. Does the always on display work properly in your version? I have the same issue with the Google search, which is annoying since it takes up alot of room. That reminds me, the camera app in the Global rom is way better than the Chinese version. It is faster and has a way better layout for image editing.

The always on display turns itself off after a few seconds, which makes it pointless since it is supposed to be always on.
The Chinese rom has some built in apps for the phone, contacts and texting and alot of random Chinese preinstalled apps that are pointless unless you know Chinese of course. It also is slower at loading apps than the Global version. It is very noticeable with ebay and google news. However, it is not a true direct comparison since my phones have different ram and storage sizes. The Chinese rom also has a security thing that frees ram and kills apps even if you tell it not to. It also has an option to download more themes, which the Global version doesn't seem to have. Otherwise I can't think of many other differences. People say the Chinese rom will get more updates, but that is not worth it to me.

Totally false. The cn version with global rom is missing b66,b71, and n71. So the hw is somehow different
I dunno how is it for Duel 2, but i had Asus ROG II (Chinese version) and it simply missed some bands too (it was hdw difference between global and chinese rom) - but honestly i didn't find in real enviroment any difference (living in UK)
Edit:// Hope Lenovo will realese new global update, those notification are annoying AF! Like i absolutely dunno if i got some message, it just simply that icon dissappear from status bar, like wtf , not mentioning still having issues with my hotspot, always have to use usb cable for hotspot, otherwise getting error >.<
