So just found out that amazon is selling the realme x50 pro 5g, cheaper than the oneplus 8 and it's got me very interested in this phone. Just wanted to find out if anyone has come from oneplus 8,if so what are your thoughts please?
Yap me I had a OnePlus 8 for around 2 weeks. And I had a lot of trouble with it, I had mobile internet interrupting 5g does not work when I was in a area where 5g is available and so on. I sent it back to Amazon and order me the x50pro, is 100€ cheaper and runs way better,faster and smoother then the OnePlus 8 :good:

Really that's good to hear. So in your opinion, the realme x50 pro 5g is faster than the oneplus?how about the sound for speakers?. Any annoying things which you've found, which are better on the oneplus?
The x50pro is all in n all the better phone the sound is great 5g works as it should in areas where 5g is available. Fingerprint unlock is also faster as on the OnePlus 8, for me is the x50pro the better phone in all areas. I have no regrets about buying and changing from OnePlus to realme :good::good:

I haven't had a OnePlus 8, but I was very tempted to buy the phone, then I looked on OnePlus Community forums and found that loads of people have been having so many issues. So I bought the Realme X50 Pro 5G and I have to say it hasn't disappointed me. Camera isn't the best for night sight phots, I'll be honest but no brands are. Gcam is also working and overall, I don't think you'll have an issue with the phone.
If you are looking at modifying (rooting / unlocking bootloader / custom roms etc.), I'm not sure how well this phone is going to do in comparison to a larger scale company as OnePlus.
Also, BBK Electronics owns OnePlus, Vivo, Oppo and Realme so the big difference is software, I was doubtful of the Realme UI (ColorOS), however it is actually just a nice skin. Updates from what I've found seem alright for Realme devices on a whole (industry standard anyway) and yeah, I'm loving the phone.
Thanks guys for sharing your views. I read somewhere that it can be tricky to change the default messages app to something else like for instance Google messages?
I use Puls as the standard message app without any problem

That's correct. I have the CN version and I had to disable the stock message app via ADB to be able to set Google message as the default. However, every time a message comes in, I get a warning pop-up.
Installed Google messages and set it as default, no issues or warnings here if a sms comes in :good:

On my UK device, I installed Google messages, opened the app and I could easily change the default messaging app (not sure if in the app or under default apps (settings). But it was easy, and to hide the other used the built in app lock to hide it from the launcher. Chat features / RCS are working fine for me on UK networks.
Hmm thanks for all your replies? Anyone regretting purchasing this phone or you guys are still enjoying it ?..
No regrettings here, still happy that I bought this phone :good:

Hello everyone.
Can someone help me to know what is the RMX2075 version?
I found 2071 is CN and 2076 is EU, but I can't find any info on the 2075.
.I want to buy the X50 Pro, but I am afraid of the software .
I currently own a Realme Q, but I wasn't able to go to the Global rom and I don't like the Chinese apps. If I install something through Google Play, it is like it fights with the Realme store and it gets messy.
Can I buy the 2075 with no problems?

Also can confirm from the RMX2075 (UK) that installing Google Messages and changing default has had no issue with me.
Yeah.. after 3 weeks, I regret buying it... Should have stayed with Xiaomi...
Let me know if anyone is interested in buying this. I have the RMX 2071 version.

Android Auto doesn't work.
Can't change default messages app without using ADB and even then, I get a warning message every time a text comes in.
Can only set 5 apps to autostart. As a result, not all apps gives push notifications.
Sometimes after a call, when I press the hang-up button, the dialer closes but the call continues. Only way to end is to turn on airplane mode.
Changed the default launcher but sometimes it goes back to the stock launcher.

Seems like meizu pro 5 community is small here.
I've just place an order on aliexpress and would like to know more on the real world usage before my phone is delivered.
Anyone kind souls out there with pro 5?

I have got mine for about a week now. No complaints so far though. My only gripe is that the screen looks very washed out. Or that could be because i am coming from a over saturated samsung screen. Let me know if you need more specific details.:good:
I have a great desire to order meizu pro 5. But I see that there is no Ukrainian language in it and, as for me, Meizu community is very small in whole. So I do not know whether I could expect for good roms and Ukrainian language... That's why probably I will order Xiaomi instead of pro 5...

How's the camera and battery life doing?
Sent from my R7plusf using XDA Free mobile app
I have not done any rigorous battery test on the phone yet. But so far have not seen any battery drains. I am unable to post image links for the screenshot due to xda 10 posts rule. Iam at 86 % after 11h 37 min. 24 % of which is Phone Standby, 19% screen, 13% Android System, 7 % Android OS and the rest other apps. My day included mostly of standy, an hour or two of podcasts, a few email checks and messaging.As for the camera, i had some shots from the night time and they were really bad. Lots of noise. I will try to post some samples in the coming posts for the images and also test the phone on battery intensive games. I have one weird bug though. Once a day the phone gets locked and prompts for the flyme account password
mx5 pro
hi,
i have mine also a week , the battery life is just incredible, really.
my huge complain is this ****ty, terrible, scrap Flyme OS. I can not get used to it. i miss a lot of customization possibilities. no root option, no themes, locked bootloader. it is not laggy, no force close, everything works fine, but i can not get used to it.
the hardware for me is VERY VERY impressive! i would truly recommend this phone BUT 1st take a look at this OS if you like it or not.
hope i could help a bit.
I have my pro 5 rooted and it is extremely easy to do. Just go to settings, create a flyme account then go to system privileges and choose root. Viola!! And you are rooted.
I have Samu Note 4 but now I would like a new phone with 2 sim card slot. I like the One+2 and Meizu MR5 pro. Can you convenience me that the Mx5 pro is better chiose? And what about international support (update) and overheating and other negative property. Now I can buy One about 400€. It is chinese original new model. What do you think? Later, for example 6 month if I would like to sell it how keep it price.

If you are a heavy user just search "Snapdragon 810 vs Mediatek Helio X10 Antutu showdown (part 2)" in youtube from gizchina channel. That should be reason enough to not go for 810 phone.

best is to purchase your Pro 5 from a trusted source. my pro 5 have 1 year warranty.
i'm getting my pro 5 in 3 days time! can't wait!
Seems like the Meizu Pro 5 community is really small here.
Such a great phone but was being overshadow by HTC,Sony,ZTC,Huawei and etc.
does any of you have any idea approx when we could get rid of Flyme and have some "normal" android OS?
i even can not find out how to switch between apps without closing them. so frustrating... 1st OS ever i would need a handbook.

Hello Guys,
I’m considering buying Huawei 10 (NOT Pro), but since it’s not officially available in the countries I spend most my time in (Poland and UK), I’ll have to get it from Chinese shop. Having said that, I have my concerns and I’d be glad if you could walk me through them. My apologies if some on those questions were already answered, but some of the feedback I’ve gather from this forum come from the “early days” of this phone and I don’t know if they are still valid. Let’s get to it:
1) Is the system in Polish language? It might be under “(…) and many more languages” but I’d like to know
2) I should be looking for version L29, correct? Are those “international” versions on sites like https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html really international, or just Chinese ones with switched software?
3) My current phone is Oneplus 3 – and I admire the simplicity of almost-stock Android. How much off a detour is MIUI in comparison? Will I have to deal with a lot of bloating in the system?
4) Since there won’t be a version for “big” markets like US and UK – could there be any issues with updates? Will Huawei abandon the support for international version anytime soon – speculatively speaking? Or is it possible for them to introduce this phone to US/UK/PL, but later?
5) I’d be taking 4gb 64gb version, but I’ve been using 6gb phone for a while now – will this “downgrade” be visible in daily use?
6) I’ve seen some complaints about the camera. I understand it’s not “perfect”, but right now I’m using oneplus3+g.cam port from Pixel 2 – so I should still experience a bump in quality, right?
7) I want to buy it from this site https://www.giztop.com/huawei-mate-10.html. Is there any reason I should pick a different one/wait?
Thank you for all your future answers, and apologies for a longer post.
Cheers!
I'm in a similar situation. I'm planning to buy from eBay the international version. The sellers there are based in either France or Ireland, they say they give you a year warranty but crucially you have PayPal protection.
I've seen other sites where a minority of phones never turn up or are broken and it's incredibly hard to get the money back.

1 - I don't know for sure but it should be there !
2 - Yes L29 is the version you should look for ! You can get one from here https://www.ebay.fr/itm/NEUF-HUAWEI...234857?hash=item4b2e0e4729:g:41oAAOSwytJaE9rW that's where I got one for my uncle
3 - EMUI is very customised version of Android but with big possibilities for themes so you should be able to make it look as you want
4 - We can't be sure of anything in that domain ^^ I just left Samsung because of giving update slowly... But for sure as the flagship of the brand it should get update faster than others
5 - It'll not. Some may not agree with me but 4gb of Ram is largely enough today !
6 - As I'm not a professionnal I could not tell ^^ but for sure Mate 10 camera is amazing and will only improve with software update improving AI
7 - As I answered on 2, you can get it from dwi on ebay, I've took 2 phones from them (S7 dual sim and Huawei Mate 10)
I live in the UK and I bought the L29 version, it works fine and you can select the system language when you setup the phone. The only issue I found is HiCloud wouldn't work but I rebranded to the L09 version and everything works
To answer your point 6
I'm also using a ported version of the camera app on my previous phone which is a Xiaomi Mix and the phone is notorious for its very poor camera lens.
It surprises me totally what software can achieve where the hardware fails at.
Even on the ****ty camera, the software managed to capture IMO equal or more details as compared to M10 on the pro mode.
So at the end of the day. Your OP3 having a better lens than the Xiaomi Mix should experience probably equal or maybe seeing a 5 to 10% bump in details.
If there's ever a chance that M10 could have the ported camera from Pixel on our phone I'll definitely be a very happy man.
Hi jay. I too live in the UK and planning the buy the L29. Was the re branding just to get the hicloud? Or were there other features?
Thanks

Thanks for the link. I'm not referring to the stock Google camera but the exact one on the pixel phone.
https://www.google.com.sg/amp/s/www...gle-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/amp/
It is the HDR+ that makes all the difference but sadly Google only enables it for the Pixel phone.
Hey sorry to jack this thread but whats the drawbacks of the Chinese version, bloat ware?? And wouldn't it get updates faster?
Also, wouldn't it be a better idea to buy the AL00.. 128 GB, 6 GB RAM Chinese Mate 10 version if you wanted to keep that 6GB of ram?
I just killed my HTC 10 with water so I'm thinking upgrading to the 6GB ram version would be a better move coming from 4GB. I just wish it wasn't so expensive lol 4GB international version is about $800 CND on ebay..

so which Huawei Mate 10 Pro 128gb version are you supposed to buy? there's L29 on ebay, L09 on clove uk website. handtec uk HM10P128TG, what's the difference between all of these? dual sim on amazon uk 128gb. L29 on wondamobile international version.
eglobal uk CN version. eglobal prices vary for 128gb version, why is that?
sorry so many questions!
essentially i'd want to root and custom rom, is there really dev support for this, I'm coming from samsung and devs have been a lot etc. im over samsung note series lol...

Well that's the Mate 10 Pro, not the Mate 10, the Pro does not have an SD card slot. I don't know what the CN is but the L29 I had was for the Singapore market, so Huawei Cloud didn't work until I flashed the L09 Firmware

yeah I noticed it's the pro, tbh I wanted the finger scanner on the back. I'm going from a lifetime of sd card to no sd card. feel like I'd need a tutorial on how to go about that and backing up consistently lol....
think I can get away with no SD card
so how come they list an item with no model number?
also can you change the soft key buttons placements? move them into opposite spots etc lol?

I'm quite interested in the mate 10 pro or soon to be released P20 pro. However I have heard nasty things about the EMUI. One really concerning thing is notifications not coming through. A few more other things too. How many affected by this
I have a mate 10 for 5 months,
and no problem with emui or notifications
Everything works great.
Only annoying is the lack of updates.
And still no stable custom rom.

So it doesn't receive frequent updates. That can be an issue. I have a sony at the moment which receives frequent updates. That means the mate 10 pro is not treble ready. Might be safer to go with the pixel xl 2 but lets see if the p20 will be treble ready

Notifications are definitely an issue. When an app is not used for some time notifications will not be delivered. This issue is caused by the far too aggressive battery management. You could disable it but that's not what should have to do.
I have the mate 10 pro and it's certainly not a bad phone, but I wouldn't choose it again. Dual SIM is a requirement for me so at this moment I would probably go for the S9 Plus (also the S9's camera is another reason).

I 100% agree with MichelLoyen, I don't trust this phone at all (mate 10 pro). I don't dare installing 3rd party apps for stuff like calendar and sms. My Garmin (bluetooth) connection is completely random if it works or not. The manual battery "managment" settings seems to be ignored in many cases.
Also the M10pro is a "google recomended" device. A status that should give security updates at the latest within 90 days. My phone is on start of november security update. So this is just another bull**** promise that is worthless.

Notifications are definitely an issue. When an app is not used for some time notifications will not be delivered. This issue is caused by the far too aggressive battery management. You could disable it but that's not what should have to do.

I have a mate 10 for 5 months,
and no problem with emui or notifications
Everything works great.
Only annoying is the lack of updates.
And still no stable custom rom.

Not sure what do you mean by "lack of updates". I got at least 1 update every month (mate 10 pro bla-l29 on .129 update here, on january 1st security patch). This is more than reasonable. My only problem with notifications is that i dont receive notifications from telegram app, thats all. And this started after an update of the app

So it doesn't receive frequent updates. That can be an issue. I have a sony at the moment which receives frequent updates. That means the mate 10 pro is not treble ready. Might be safer to go with the pixel xl 2 but lets see if the p20 will be treble ready

Mate 10 series is treble ready, lol. Search forums
The Mate seriies is aimed mre at business people just like Samsungd Note series. However if you don't receive notifications on a regular basis this is a major problem. Especially if you are a corporate user you would want your phone to function like a work horse. I'm really upset with Huawei as they have not rectified the software problems. I want to get the new P series if it has OLED display with a 4000mah battery. The one thing that worries me the most is notifications. On the other hand on forums I have come across a fair bit of complaints that certain apps crash on the mate 10 pro. If I'm paying a premium price for a phone i would expect it to be nearly flawless. Also you would expect Huawei to roll out updates fixing the problems.
The reason why i don't get updates is that i bought the phone in Kuwait since its not being sold in Netherlands... Lol. So i rebranded it to Asia c636 and now it's on January 1st security. Just checked and it is trebble ok. When there is a stable custom rom i will flash it to it this easy way.. I have a mate (no pro) and really everything works flawless. Wifi/4g/Bluetooth /gps /all apps/notifications /calendar etc....
The only thing that doesn't work is huawei cloud.
Reason is that i cannot select Netherlands phonenumber because cloud doesn't work here in.
Hello All,
I am planning to buy oneplus 7t pro in upcoming sale. Is it worth going for? How is the custom from development support for this device ?
I know its already a year old device but if development support is good then I can expect at least till Android 13 for this device.
How is the device itself first ?

Custom rom support are not that great for 7tp.....but you will get android 13 for sure.. great phone ..better than op 8... only problem is less better camera than 8 series...and custom rom support is dying day by day... it's very unfortunate that Google is trying to take control over android security.. that's why 7t and 7t pro has no twrp with the ability to decrypt data in twrp recovery.so now it's you who has to take decision...

I bought the same model just a week ago because it was a great value today UNDER 600 dollars and it ticked all the boxes for what I basically wanted. I have a P30 Pro as well, and while I'd say it gets better battery life overall and that the camera can take better shots in SOME conditions, the gap isn't really that great. Most of the shots I've A/B with random people have chosen the OP7T Pro shots over the P30 Pro. It does get better brightness at night, but the details are lacking and seem over-processed. The P30 Pro definitely has a faster shutter.
After much deliberation I just received mines yesterday. I had a Mi 9 SE which was ghost touching on me so I had to change over asap. Figured I'd give OnePlus another go, I'd owned the one, the two, and now the 7t pro.
Really happy with the decision so far, just need to get used the massive size. Runs kinda hot tho, but that just maybe because I've been using it quite intensely for the last day or 2.
I'm happy with the decision.
I am also thinking of buying the 7T PRO or the Redmi K300 Pro ZOOM edition.
I am currently using a S8 PLUS and I would like a better camera.
I was supposed to get the S20 FE 5G but in my country Samsung only released the Exynos variant.

You'll probably get more software updates with the OnePlus. That's what tipped it for me.

A better camera is more important to me than future software updates.
Would you still recommend the 7T Pro over the K30 PRO zoom edition?

Haven't seen that model or used it, so I couldn't comment, but I can compare it to the P30 Pro I own. I'd say that the P30 camera is better in 70 percent of photo scenarios, but it does lack detail often. The P30 tends to over-sharpen images and smooth faces too much, even without portrait features on, whereas the OP7TPro does tend to have more noise in low-light, but produces a more accurate rendering of color and better fine detail, ironically.

I moved back to 7T Pro from OP8. It was a great decision in my opinion. I hated the punch hole. the 7T Pro checks all the boxes for me.

I'm also looking to buy a 7T Pro but I would like McLaren international edition for use in the US. Any one have any suggestion on where to get one in the US? If I was to buy a CN edition off Alibaba could I easily flash it to the international rom?
Planning to buy it also because it has nice hardware (no hole on the screen), and supports LineageOS.

If you want a device just like the 7T pro but with far more rom support as well as extended custom development, then Id go for the 7 Pro. Both are pretty much the same device, except youd be more satisifed with 7 Pro as it has a much larger community surrounding it and there's alot of things you can mod on the device without having to deal with the new android 10 dynamic partitioning that made TWRP not fully functional on the 7T pro
Wifi + bluetooth unstable connection
I bought the phone too.
So far everything is fine - except wifi stability issues (seems to be affected by bluetooth being on).
I don't understand how this still can be a thing. I read posts about this model having this problem a year ago.
How is this possible?
I did update the phone to the 10.0.12.HD01BA and tried all the suggested solutions (reseting network settings, switching airplane mode on and off.... one thing I haven't tried is factory reset) yet the problem still persist, it's occassional, but.... I'm still kind of disappointed.
For my part I had the 7pro and now I have the 7T pro and the 2 are very good ... I must say that I still have some frustration from the 7t pro, less good battery and twrp which is not 100% functional which gave me some headaches for the rest it is like the 7pro the best device i have had, for those who wonder why i got the 7 pro and the 7t pro? Between the 2 I decided to try the samsung note 10 plus ... but what a bad choice lolll and I had already sold my 7 pro so I wanted to try the 7T pro.
I have just bought OP7TPro today. It runs like a champ. Only not so good thing is camera. But GCam blew me way. Definitely a great buy if the price is right.
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.

It is the Chinese phone that they changed the rom on. The box is in Chinese, the booklet in the box is in Chinese and the sticker on the back of the phone is in Chinese even.
I got the 16GB/512GB Global model today from the Lenovo store. Going to play with it now

12.5.102 ST, February 1 2021 security patch. Do you also have a problem with the Google search bar? I can't remove it. Also the camera and Legion app have a strange ZuiSkd name.
But further it's a great device. Very fast, great speakers, almost stock Android.

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 >.<
