Lol mine is exynos here in the UK
My Duel 2 gets delivered tomorrow, UK model.
I hope to get a few updates at least, stable 11 with a few gaming features is all I ask.
I'll keep it for 2 years max anyway.
I will be using as my daily driver coming from an Oppo Find X2 Pro

have UK model too, delivered last week... This phone looks pretty interesting (saying this as user "old ROG 2", but what i honestly dislike is.... Extreme temperatures... i tried to activate rampage mode - this phone is extremely HOT!!!! Tested while 5-10 mins playing Celtic Heroes (144 fps - seems there's no cap so ok, i got it those temps will raise higher...) - 57 degrees of C and it still raising.... Phone is HOT, well, it's summer in my room i have about 38 degrees, but still.... Thinking about buying cooler -> FunCooler Pro 2 - which according some tester from YT is right now the most TOP... Other thing "air triggers are... well honestly much weird... They work great, but that "sensitive" spot is kinda meh and compared with ROG2 it's total downgrade.... so today i ordered some triggers on eBay and will see how it looks like to play with them.... And last thingie i noticed is their android modificated system.... I don't like it, it's weird and customization is well hard to say, but annoying in some things... I wonder in future how i will see that buy of mine if it was worth it or not.... Personally i think "gaming" phones still need some time, like about 2-3 years yet

Yeh mine just keeps saying check for details the next day ect if they mess around much more I'll just cancel it
I've also heard bad stories about the inport fees not been paid if that's the case I'll definitely be cancelling
Been on the phone to both companies and ups saying then need a copy of the invoice from lenovo before it passes customs
Well I've finally got the device after 4 weeks and it's quite nice a few software bugs which I hope at least they fix them in software updates as that's all it needs (things like alarms not working and notifications doesn't seem to be working) does anyone have any fixes for these?

Hi!
A Local is selling the Smartwatch 1, he claims is new, and is asking $60 so I will offer $50 if you guys think is still worth it.
I am doing some research on it but since usually reviews are from the original time it came out and things are fixed later one...so i am looking for more recent experiences.
Thanks!
Honestly, I'd go for it - why not! Aside from a few reported issues with UI lag and general fragmentation/inconsistencies between apps, at $50, it makes for a great little tinker device, even if you do eventually end up throwing it in the drawer a few months down the track!
Best of luck
I saw a review made not that long ago in July 2013 so I hope it shows the latest updates and I actually liked what I saw!
It will be a good way to see if I like that concept before spending a lot more on SW2
$50 isn't much for a "smart"watch, so I'd go for it. And like Supjackary says, it's a great little gizmo that you can tinker with. Maybe root it, install Omni and play SimCity on it. Or not, but in the worst case scenario, you've paid 50 bucks for a watch. Still worth it.

Cool. I am getting it tomorrow!
I do have a concern...battery life...is it going to drain the phone battery quickly? I read that it does not even show a clock without being connected so that means and always connected bluetooth to work.
I just checked. It has Bluetooth 3.0, and what we want is 4.0 (BLE or Bluetooth Low Energy). That might be a problem
Sony says the SW will last you 1 week with light usage, 3-4 days with medium usage and 1 day with heavy usage. I'm not sure what the differences are? Is light usage to get five notifications and heavy usage is getting 8? I have no idea
Either way, your Ultra will probably notice a small drop in battery, but I don't know how much.

It is not a great watch... SMARTWATCH2 is a killer one though, but expensive
He decided not to sell it now but I saw him post version 2 for sale..asking 160...will try to lowball him to see if I get lucky lol
He will take $120 for the SW 2 or I can get the one used for $60...decisions decisions...

Hmm, i have no idea If you have some money to spare, then i can't see why you couldn't get the SW 2. The SW 2 also has Bluetooth LE, plus i guess there's more activity around it, i.e more apps on the Play Store and i guess it'll probably receive an update or two in the future.
But again, i really don't know I guess you'll have to get the one you want

Hello
I m very interested by mate 20 pro . Is anyone can test android auto please ?
I'll let you know as have pre-ordered this beauty for Friday ?
Android auto is working fine for Spotify and for Google Maps - however the Dialler doesnt work and in my Audi, when a call comes through it makes the MMI screen turn Black and I have to disconnect the phone to get Android Auto to come back up.

Same issue here in my Ford with the Mate 20 Pro. Tried using Google phone app instead of Huawei dialler as others had suggested for issues with P20 pro in the past but the issue still persists.

I had the note 9, and I feel the mate 20 pro is miles ahead. Yes there is some issues but I'm confident that Huawei will fix these and hopefully fairly quick. I returned the note 9 to Vodafone after 3 days as was extremely disappointed

Same issue here
I'm experiencing exactly the same in my VW Golf - have moved to Mate20 Pro after being long time Apple user. This is really frustrating - I wish I'd found out about it before buying.
I think it is something to do with the fact the default dialer is not compatible. I couldn't install the google dialer and set to default (which I think would fix it).

Already tried this unfortunately and it didnt fix the issue.
I recommend bringing this to Huawei's attention it'll be a case of the more people make a fuss the more likely they are to address it I know it took them some 2 years to support Android Auto at all on their phones.
I talked to UK live chat and reported a bug. They wrote it up and assigned it to development. Which was really nice to hear.

From the HiCare application.
Tried mine today, in vw passat had no issues making a call at all. Maps and Spotify also worked fine. I did have to swop to a higher quality shorter cable as it disconnected after 30 seconds but with new cable no issues here.

Hi folks how are you all doing?
So I have a question and maybe one of you will be able to awnser me.
I have a Mi6, but I got stolen last year, and a few months latter I managed to get it back. But I got it back with a few problems... The biggest one and the most annoying was the wifi, it just stopped working, I tried everything. The other annoying thing is that I only managed to install the stock rom, every other custom rom, even those MIUI based didn't work.
So, if with my original phone I already had a few problem after getting it "second hand", if I buy a used pocophone, would a simple clean up of the sellers phone enought to save me from some annoyances like the ones I had. I really doesn't like MIUI, the notification is so broke that unlocking it and installing a custom rom is a must for me
Thank you

Never buy a 2nd hand Chinese phone-u will face hardware nightmare.
Go with Samsung flagship (max 2yrs old)if u get good offer around $100-200.
Or u can buy 2nd hand Nokia(3,5,6,7,8), they r Good old buddies.
check xda before purchase that which device hav most community support.

Thank you for your reply.
I can actually buy a second hand oneplus 6 for 5~10% more than a brand new pocophone. But the 700mAh more of the poco, the lack of a wide used quick charge technology and the screen burn in is getting me away from this option.

As u wish.
My advice is always buy 2nd hand phone with decent hardware(quality, not quantity).
There's absolutely no harm in buying a used Poco F1 or any device for that matter, I've been buying used devices (only mobiles) since a long time and trust me I've had no issues so far. Make sure you're buying a fully functional device and there are no hardware related defects.
I'm currently using a Poco F1 that I bought few months ago and this is a used one too.
if you don't like MIUI on different level! don't buy MI fones again! I believe Mi6 was on Android ONe?
there are many other options for you to consider!
Samsung /Huwaie /Xperia /oneplus (6 is cheaper now) /nokia is on stock android but nokia has no flasher and minimum developement on xda
Hi members, really like the Oppo phone, a couple of things holding me back so your knowledge, and help would be appreciated please.
I've looked at EE and 3 network frequency bands, there are some missing for both networks band 'n29', and for Three band 'B32'.
Are there any UK buyers of the Find N (possibly London based) who are also with EE or Three, are you experiencing signal or connection issues, or call issues?
Or is everything working correctly as you expected it would?
Thanks again
I am on 3 UK and have one on the way. I will let you know how I get on.

Thanks Paul for the posting, and letting me know how it goes, cheers
I'm in the UK and on EE. Mine arrived this afternoon and is working fine. Google Pay works as do all the other Google services. The only issue I'm having is with a few apps that won't span the whole screen even when selected to do so in the settings.
The hardware is great, the software is a little irritating at times. I also have a Fold 3 and Duo 2 and at the moment I'm on the fence regarding which is best between the Fold and the Find N.
Great info thanks, so you also mentioned having Duo 2, I'm using the a Duo (1 gen) also.
How does it compare to the Find N on it's split screen multitasking function? Is it as fluid when operating between two apps like the Duo
It works well although it doesn't seem to offer the same level of action integration as the Duo (drag and drop from one app to the other isn't an option for instance). 12 hours in and I'm on the fence. The locked launcher, lack of pen and all of the bloatware mean I'm struggling to warm to it as quickly as I though I would.
Very helpful ...Maybe some negatives are just due to it not running Android 12 L yet, hopefully the N's future updates will bring a ton of new features and abilities, there maybe an app for 'drag & drop' copy
Not exactly in relation to the OP's network mentioned, but for those lurking wondering about Vodafone, both 4G and 5G working well here in London.
This is really good news. Can I ask how you installed Google services? Are notifications working? Have anyone seen any 3 5g signal in the UK?

really sad that there are no news regarding global release.
also the pixel notepad does not came up anytime soon :-(
I'm on 3. I don't use Auto... GPay working fine tho
If someone interested I am selling my Oppo Find N used only for reviews. can ship UK.

The only issue that bothered me was that the handset will not switch to 5g automatically, you have to use the hidden android menu. The issue is discussed elsewhere on here. Once you have changed the setting it sticks until the phone is restarted.

Me too no issue with 5G

Is anybody ordered? From where?
Giztop maybe?
I just placed an order at Trading Shenzhen. They're usually a bit cheaper than Giztop and offer Global shipping with no added import duties. I bought the Find N with them and do far I'm satisfied.
Thanks for the tip... Looking now...

Yeah, Android Auto doesn't work. The error message says that it was not pre-installed. It must be bundled with the operating system.
Anyone else getting a message saying “Messages” wants to send a payment request message…….
When using Google messages as default messages app? I’m getting that error every time I mention something involving money like “I got a visa gift card for Christmas”
Anyone know how to turn that off or any work around?

I got the green one. I'm coming from a rooted Xiaomi Mix Fold 2. At first, it got super annoying going back to the CN strict-heavy rom but, it doable in the US
Cons:
- Launchers still don't work without work around.
- Google messages doesn't send messages to non-RCS users if you send a message with hot words that have to do with money.
- Only 5 apps can be locked (running fully in the background, auto startup from boot) at a time.
- Even if notifications are set AND you chose to never revoke access, some apps still won't send notifications unless you mess with the setting again (usually toggle on/off)
-default messaging app doesn't allow group sms (all messages are recieved separately)
Pros:
- super duper compact and perfect in every way (hardware wise)
- 5g is a major go (reason why I sold my first oppo find n)
- everything else not listed above runs super smoothly (in California, on TMobile)
- Pictures are really good and videos too
I have my Xiaomi watch running on it fine, when my notifications don't work on the phone sometimes, it always does on the watch.
Unboxing was crazy, holding the little green hulk felt perfect. Really hope a global rom gets released or someone finds a way to root this phone.

The price for N2 and Mix Fold 2 are more or less the same. Which do you prefer? Really tempted to order one of these two foldables.
