Hi XDA,
I've used the OnePlus Nord for nearly 3 weeks now and did a review of it for XDA: https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-nord-review/
If you have any questions about the device, ask them here and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
Really confused between this and other options like realme x3 ... Only the developer support is swaying me towards nord as x3 wont have as good developer support..
Nord has dual-frequency GPS, i.e. support for L5/E5 signals and bands that could give meter precision (compared to about 5m without).
How is the GPS quality?

So what do you have a European version or Indian and are you using it in the U.S. if so does mobile data work well, I have thought about importing one. Also I own the pixel 4 XL and I love and appreciate all your coverage on pixels and the Android developer previews and betas.

The Snapdragon 855+ in the Realme X3 SuperZoom has better CPU and GPU performance. The Realme X3 SuperZoom also offers better camera versatility with its telephoto lens and a better primary camera sensor. It also has a higher refresh rate display (albeit it's LCD and not OLED if that bothers you). However, you're right that long-term support of the Realme X3 SuperZoom is a lot iffier.

European version - using it with my T-Mobile SIM card in the U.S. I don't use mobile data much but everything "works." I can't tell you how well it actually works in big downtown areas or in every city - check the supported bands to see how well it'll work in your area.

One simple, two other questions
How broad is this phone, could you use it with onehand? If i grasp my current phone my thumb can't reach past the middle of the screen. I don't enjoy that.
How many googleapps are on this phone? I didn't like they use googlephone and messages instead of their own.
Then news said googlefeed is on the phone if you swipe left, can you turn this feature off or is it baked in oxygenos?
Is this phone for someone who does not use google a lot?
Last question; can you disable paralell apps feature and use your own app for it ? (Like island for sandboxing apps.)
ty so much for your time.

Yes, I can use the phone in one hand. However, OOS really needs to bring back its one-handed mode that appeared in an earlier OOS beta for the 7 series...that would help with reaching buttons on the top.
In addition to all the Google apps present on all GMS-certified phones, there's also the Google Phone app and Google Messages as the default dialer and messaging app.
Google Feed can be turned off in OnePlus Launcher settings. The Shelf is thankfully still accessible with a swipe down gesture (it's no longer available on the minus one screen to the left where Google Feed is, though).
Well, you don't have to use Google apps if you don't want to. You can change the default dialer and messaging apps and pretty much everything else.
For Parallel apps: You don't have to use it, so yes, you can use Island or Shelter or whatever other work profile/sandboxing app you want.

Hi, can you share what are your temperatures with some generic light/use?
I'm noticing that just watching some youtube video/netflix will bring the battery to around 38C, cpu temp will follow at 37-39C.
Not enought to hurt by any means, but it's kinda unpleasant to feel.
hello any problem with notifications ? i am missing a lot, only appears when i unlock the phone. I try to disable battery smart optimization but nothing.

For me, the phone stayed very cool even during heavy gaming (Dolphin Emulator, Citra Emulator) and didn't throttle at all. So I would say temperatures haven't been an issue for me.

Yes, this is a problem with OxygenOS, unfortunately. Make sure you disable "sleep standby optimization" https://www.xda-developers.com/files/2020/07/OxygenOS-10.5-Sleep-Standby-Optimization-300x200.jpg and set each app you want to get notifications for to "don't optimize": https://www.xda-developers.com/files/2020/07/OxygenOS-10.5-Intelligent-Control-254x300.jpg
This won't guarantee a fix, but it may help.

The Nord seems to be priced just right (and it's from OnePlus, so it's popular already among XDA users) for it to gain traction. I think there'll be a decent selection of custom ROMs.

Speaking of that, I'm confused between k20 pro and Nord.
Considering, K20 pro is set to get official Lineage soon, development is good and at the same time every piece of hardware on it is better or at least on par while costing less about 6k in the upcoming sale.
What would you prefer personally for a person who uses a device for about 5 years ? For now, nord doesn't seem promising in terms of dev support as there isn't any dev seeding program from oneplus for this device and we already saw what happened with almost similarly priced 7/7T without that program. I guess barely any recognized developer would get the nord out of his pocket for that price unless I'm wrong. What's your suggestion and take on it ?

OnePlus does have a dev seeding program they just don't publicize it. The Redmi K20 Pro is a great phone and I can't recommend against it. It already has proven it will have a thriving developer community. However, its official support won't last as long as the new Nord, so make of that what you will.

Google Phone app does support call recording but not in all regions and not enabled on all device models. I live in the U.S. where it's not enabled, but I can't tell you about Europe or India.

xiaomi launches new note edition every 6 months... redmi note 4 has been launched in china, if it comes in india later this month, most probably it will come with Snapdragon 652, and i havent seen any android development in SD652 phone on xda, not even on Mi Max 128 gb version.. m scared if its comes with 652 then may be there will be full stop on android development of redmi franchise....

Don't worry. Redmi Note 4 will not come until Jan, 2017. If you can wait till that time, wait for it. Dude, it'll get development support as same as Note 3, if not greater. Most likely, it'll support SD652, you know, most SD phones get good development. About Le Eco, it didn't get development, because it isn't popular as much as Xiaomi devices. But be ready to spend 1000 Rs. more, if you want to go for RN4 SD variant.
Redmi Note 3 is pretty good device with large development. I'd suggest go for it. I'm planning to do the same.

I had ordered the Dark Grey just 10 hrs ago on Snapdeal. It was in stock for one straight hour. You've to look frequently throughout the day. These phones (especially dark grey) get stock out quickly.
Suggestion: On whole week, Amazon makes Dark Grey RN3 availability on random days. But they make only "one left in stock".. When you see one in stock, just BUY it. No wait. No refresh on browser.
For Snapdeal, I'd seen them do the same on Saturday. Not sure about other days.
Hope it helps!
If you reside in North America, preferably in Canada. I can assure you my Qualcomm Snapdragon variant of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro works on both 3G and 4G LTE networks. And to be honest, I find Xiaomi devices a lot better than what I see in phone stores in Canada based on price range and quality. Too bad they don't sell here, I had to order all the way from Hong Kong to get my hands on one. Great buy if you ask me, no issues so far.

Hello everyone, I recently unlocked the bootloader of my Asus Zenfone Max Pro and installed Magisk to root the phone. All of this was done for just thing - Trying out the Google Camera as I do feel that the Stock Camera app is pathetic and that's the major reason why the Zenfone Max is not performing that great. For Google Camera to work, After you have rooted your phone, download this app called 'build.prop editor'. After it is downloaded search for 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled' The value would be 0 by default, Change it to 1 and then reboot your phone. Now install the Google Camera apk(Whichever you feel like, I'm attaching the one that I keep using) and you're good to go. Everything including HDR+, Front And Back portrait Mode, Video Stabilisation works.
Here is the complete video review along with Comparisons with the Redmi Note 5 Pro On Google Camera.
Thanks....google cam is definitely better.
How to root Zenfone max peo
Now that you have rooted are you able to use Tez ?
Wow man that looks far better!

hey brother, first big thanks to you for doing this.
yesterday i just ordered 3gb version of this and glad to find your google camera app review. i earlier saw your videos with max pro m1. i like the way you reviewed it, like a daily usage user unlike others who do monotonous review which gives the feel that the person did not even use it.
https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_max_pro_(m1)_zb601kl-9173.php
Anyways, my query is regarding google camera app on max pro m1 ?
1) In the specs, its given that phone supports 1080p/60fps recording. During its announcement it was mentioned that such feature will come ? Could you please check whether google camera app provides the same ?
2) And in the video you have mentioned with google camera app, support for EIS comes in ? Could you please elaborate more on that.
And part from this, please give your general view with new updates how much is the Fingerprint sensor and Faceunlock is making life better or worse as most says because of its slow speed?
Cheers,
Arnold
Any apk for unrooted device? All can't root the device, as it has risk of making phone dead.
What happens to the Battery life and futures OTA updates !?
Thanks for the post
Indeed am looking forward to root my asus max pro m1 and install google camera
But Need to know how it affects the battery life and Future OTA updates that the Phone is likely to receive.
Looking forward for an answer !
Cheers and Peace!

I haven't found anything for unrooted phones. Rooting won't make your phone dead. There are ample amount of guides here on xda which are very simple.

I couldn't see 60fps option but I will try some other google camera apk and reverify. About EIS, yes it works with Google Camera. Sometimes you get some artifacts on the left/right edge but overall the footage seems a lot smoother. I still find fingerprint sensor to be slower and face unlock is a hit or miss. I'd say it works 70% of the times. Struggles sometimes in indoor or dim lighting conditions.
i just use Oneplus Camera, i think its still better than Google Camera. Go find it at apkmirror.

After it is downloaded search for 'persist.camera.HAL3.enabled' The value would be 0 by default, Change it to 1 and then reboot your phone. Now install the Google Camera apk(Whichever you feel like, I'm attaching the one that I keep using) and you're good to go. Everything including HDR+, Front And Back portrait Mode, Video Stabilisation works.
Here is the complete video review along with Comparisons with the Redmi Note 5 Pro On Google Camera.

I have tried everything but Google camera stopped working
Has someone tested the GCam on the POCO F1 (Arnova port, or any other port)? How's the picture quality in various conditions (low light, lot of light, ....)?

Dude phone has not even been sold yet. No one has it except YouTubers.
But one thing i would mention is
Camera2 api is enabled by default
So you can try any of those gcams

I just bought a Pocophone. Man, is it really true that they set camera 2 api on level 3? I looked for that information but didn't find anything about it.

I'm from Brazil. Weird because for me 6Gb/64Gb is US$370.99 and 6Gb/128Gb is US$401.99. In my currency is R$1547,03 and R$1676,30. Checking it I can see that in INR are Rs28082 and Rs29345. It's something very close to the price I said.

Maybe is something regional?
Here is showing as if it was a very high price with a discount
R$2.397,88 (strikethrough)
BRL R$1.547,03 (price with discount)
In INR really shows Rs41,977 but is strikethrough and the price with discount is INR Rs27,082.

Btw, I just saw at Reddit a picture of "Camera 2 Api Probe" and it says that Pocophone has "Full" category (not "Level 3") and Expusure are all green checked, Whitebalance is also green and Capture too. Only Focus category is all green excepts "Auto Focus EDOF". So, with all of this enabled the GCam can be installed like a charm?

I don't have it yet. I saw that people with Mi 8 and Mi Mix 2S have problema with GCam and they have the same sensor of Pocophone and same camera2 api status. I'm a little bit worried.

I discovered that Mi 8 and Mi Mix 2S have camera2 API enabled "Full" but not "Level3". The only diference is EDOF autofocus stuff. It seems to be sufficient to use GCam without tricks.

It didnt work. I tried 4 different versions.
Google Camera ports work without root on the Poco F1
plz go through this article which I found,
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-xiaomi-poco-f1-xiaomi-mi-8-se-ee-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/
Someone tested and made a quality video!
Check it out!
Go go go go!
Keep in mind that He didn't use auto hdr+ and portrait mode!
It will perform very well with correct version of gcam.
If my 2 years old redmi note 3 works best with gcam(with portrait mode). It definitely with poco f1 too!
None works on my Poco F1... It just crashed or hang if I choose one of the HDR+ modes...

I am going to buy from flipkart si have some questions below:
1. Is code name for Indian variant is same as 'raphael' or something else.
2. I can see many custom roms doesn't support in-display fingerprint, is it serious problem or could be solved with time, cause i hate Miui, and unability to use custom ROMs is a big deal breaker for me.
3. At last are there any better places to buy other than flipkart.
Thanks

Code name of Indian version is raphaelin.
In display fingerprint works fine. Just use the belly of your finger and press slightly harder than usual. Works 99% of the time for me

The Indian version is a bit different from the original Raphael, as they've removed the physical NFC chip and also the libs are removed from official firmware! Also with more region specific changes.
Custom rom support will improve over time, but you will have to wait for a period of 7-30 days to get your bootloader unlocked through the official method. Don't know why there is wait time present at the first place, anyway locking the bootloader back has a high possibility of bricking your device as well (several people have already bricked their devices) so if that's not your cup of tea better get a OnePlus device!
AFAIK Flipkart and mi.com are the only two sites that you can purchase K20 Pro on!

I am already using Redmi note 5 plus, i am not worried about bootloader and brick, i have good experience in that.
The only thing i am worried about custom rom development as i am only seeing ROMs for Raphael not Raphaelin.
Thanks
I noticed that front camera is making face red while clicking selfie, if i cover my face then camera is showing actual colours, but when it recognizes face in the frame it automatically turns the face red, i also disabled all beauty footers but seems there is something wrong with camera software, because gcam port is not showing red face in front camera, can anybody confirm if they are also facing this issue or is this a hardware issue only?

You can flash Raphael stuff on Raphaelin without any problems! If you try to enable/disable NFC the settings app will fc! That's the only bug I faced.

If you think the issue is serious enough you should return your device!
But if the photos look good in gcam then its most likely not a hardware issue, its your call to return/replace it!

I used stock camera app for a while but switched to Gcam for better dynamic range and color accuracy!
Stock camera app was producing over-exposed, over-saturated and washed out images, this is my personal opinion and may differ for others!

Does Redmi K20 Pro Indian Version Have A Physical NFC Chip?
FAQ #1
Received PMs from many users asking whether the Indian version had the physical NFC chip!
Original videos : Raphael Raphaelin
As you can see in the attached images, physical NFC chip is absent from the Redmi K20 Pro Indian version, so flashing chinese firmware won't magically enable NFC on your Raphaelin!
Credits : BCD Technology for the Raphaelin disassembly video & Xiaomi Global Community for the Raphael disassembly video.

Yeah, that's why i am also using gcam, but the front camera resolution is only 5mp in gcam, that's why i was keen on using stock camera for selfies

Check latest pages of the GCAM thread. There are plenty working, but it takes like 1 min to take the picture with astrophotography mode.
Slow motion is not working with MGC_7.2.014_MiIXSE.RPII.MiVIII_V.apk . It exits immediately.

I will share my favorites as well:
I prefer MGC_7.3.020_Parrot043_V7 and everything works flawlessly.
I have been using the Parrot builds for several months and its consistently great. The Poco doesn't have OIS, the Mi8 has a smaller 1.8 aperture, ( vs 2.0) The Mi8 has a dual LED flash, and a wider range of abilities with video recording. So with this mind, the Parrot builds officially support the Mi8, while Poco builds are obviously designed specifically for the Poco and they often omit functions that the mi8 can use.
I also like the On Fire builds ( made for Poco but keeps all options available for other phones.) and I also like GCam_7.0.009_MiIXSE.RPII.MiVIII_V1
I recommend using the Parrot's 7.0.009 final goodbye version with my settings.
