Screen sensitivity is poor (on mine) waiting to hear from mine about returning it tbh.
Like the form factor. Coming from note 20 ultra it's not as slick. Not sure on whether to keep or go back to note.

My Duo 2 all okay. Frustrating no good cases yet. Need ability to lay it flat for note taking. Perhaps the Duo Surface Pen case will have a suitable lip all round?

Try disabling google assistant seems to cure any screen sensitivity issues, mines almost as slick as my old note 10 now

5" Full HD. wow. I don't think it will be sold outside china.
I'm planning to buy one of these incredibly cheap FullHD phones,too
The are the Neo N003, the UMi X2 and the iOcean X7 (favorite). Of course you can purchase them from outside of china with aliexpress or Taobao agents (+Commision fees and shipping). Still a BIG BANG for the buck!
The are not available, yet. But soon (end of March or beginning of april). Please do not Pre-Order! The prices are much higher than (80-100% more) in china and never ever pre order with aliexpress! Only order when it's really available.
I hope that a lot of developpers will get one of these phones, too.

Looks good but how can I compare this with mainstream products?
I've order one from aliexpress for USD 235, a lot pricier but within range with all mediatek quad core phone there. The seller promised early April.
From the specs, look like a promising phone eventhough it look like oppo find.

[Q] iocean X7

I just got mine yesterday. Everything is fine except the plastic body is flexing too much on each button. The speed was not too snappy but acceptable. The screen was the winning attributes, leaving everyone wondering is this China phone

Got mine a couple days ago. Running miui v5, tried a couple of the other roms floating around. Does not come rooted, but is easily rooted. All roms tried so far have a little difficulty pushing video to the fhd screen but its not terrible, just a ms of latency during complete screen changes - in non-swipey activities its perfect. Am in Canada, and the only cellular carrier it will connect to (via 2g) is Rogers. The thin plastic case makes the phone feel very light, but it is a very attractive phone, especially with the bright hd display. The backlight behind the soft keys (menu, home, back) is a little dim and maybe not centered properly on my unit.

Nice to see someone who speaks english and has the Elite version. I want to buy one and just need some feedback on a couple of things. 1st is it really an OGS screen (laminated) so you dont see the LCD diplay light leaks like the Youth version and does the back cover have gaps (not tight fiting) like the Youth version and lastly whats the battery life like on it plus camera quality both audio and vdieo??
I will appreciate your feedback as it will go a great deal in making me decide on whether to buy it.
Thanks
I have the Youth version, but have 2 more bright spots on the display at the lower right corner. It's very disturbing. I can send the phone back, but will take about 2 months to send forth, repair and shipped back, so I'm confused what to do.
does anybody know if there is a cwm or twm for iocean x7 hd? any suggestion for root or custom rom?thanx

OFFICIAL Nexus 10 2 specs and pic!!!

Straight from Google Play Store:

I really like the RAM amount and the Snapdragon 800 cpu.
I'm definitely getting one of these!
Speakers
I really hope this is just a design some one has done as I would really miss the front facing speakers make the decision weather to get it that bit harder

The original source of the story, phonearena.com has cast doubt on it since the picture was photo shopped and they checked their records on the tipster: (I cannot post links yet, but it was easy to find with Google)
From their article:
UPDATE: After a more extensive research, we believe that these are likely fake. This is not simply because the icons on the Nexus 10 2013 were obviously added later -- this could have been done for illustrative purposes anyway. It's because, after delving deep into our tips database, we concluded that this particular tipster has a track record of sending content of dubious authenticity

I am not saying either is fake, and I am hopeful it is announced/released soon, but phonearena added a caveat to their story, and it is the source all the other's are quoting or copying from. So I remain hopeful but suspect.
I hope it isn't fake, but who knows?
I do find it really odd that there have been so many Nexus 5 leaks but nothing on the new 10 yet.
The designs leaked so far look superb, and I would definitely be wanting to get one.

Have to agree with you on those two points.
The only things I don't like are the cost and all the Samsung bloatware. Not sure if I'd use the S pen either....

I thought that, until I used it for a week. Now the bloatware is coolware in how S pen integrates with the environment so well.
After using a system that has S Pen, I'm not sure I could work without one.
I used a capacitive stylus with my Nexus 10, and seriously there is NO COMPARISON to S Pen. S Pen has the ability to register the pressure and more, so the ability to the graphic artist is a leap over SIMPLE TOUCH.
Yeah, it's that cool, if you'll use the stylus. Even casual note taking is great.
I think this is the reason Microsoft added it to the Surface 2.
Touch alone is sooo 2009/2010.
I would not get a tablet with such a tiny bezel. I love the Nexus 10's bezel. The rounded sides are also quite nice. I think it's highly underrated.

I don't think they would release a Nexus device without a major Android update and I don't think they would release updates so close together...but I could be wrong.

Oh.. I think you'll see TWO new Nexus 10 models.
Nexus 10 from Samsung with existing specifications and 64GB.
Nexus 10 from Samsung with 64GB and unlocked sim LTE.
The 16GB will be retired (just like the Nexus 7 8GB edition was). 32GB will be the new low end.
Just like the Nexus 7 line that had the 32GB and 3G/HSPA+ models silently release, the Nexus 10 updates will also be a silent release (no launch party).
But with the changes, you'll see the pricing drop so that the 64GB is close to the same pricing the 32GB is currently.
Launch party will be Nexus 5 and Kitkat 4.4
I have to give my friends Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition back this week. Based on the experience, the S Pen truly compels, but I'm going to stick with my N10 for a while longer. July 2014 is when you'll likely see the N10 2014 edition.

Are they? Posted on their website yet?
You are reading media hype until it actually ships.
Lets see the proof:
1. Point of sale system shows "ASUS" made N10. Has anyone entering data for stores/warehouses never made a mistake, not once?
2. Leaked Press "render". If I was part of the press, I could photo-chop all sorts of tablets and say it's a render based on educated guesses. Stretch an ASUS N7 and folks looking at it would say, "hey that looks like ASUS!"
Questions:
A. Where are the parts order news items you normally see with the ramp up of a product? Usually there'll be leaks of the back shell, etc.
B. Samsung wouldn't have this as they are not just a parts assembly company, it's all in house for the most part. ASUS would have LDC panel orders, etc. Yet it's oddly quiet.
C. What was Sundar Pichai saying? Sure the head of Chrome and Android teams could be wrong, or his quote was taken out of context by Amir Efrati.

Just received my P9 Plus

I've received my p9 plus from Vodafone and it is locked. Got it pay 19.99 to unlock.
Initial impressions, overpriced for £500.00 64gb.
Screen quality is quite good very vibrant n ui is pretty clean.
Camera lots of options not tested yet.
Fingerprint excellent works every time and minimum fuss to setup, one of the quickest.
Design Feels and looks premium quite comfortable to hold in the hand.
Sound loud and clear better then most top end phones including S7.
Force touch works pretty well and does the job. Bit gimmicky not sure how often i would use it.
I wish it was qhd then it would justify the price tag.
If you've got any questions do feel free to ask will try to answer.
I returned my phone as I didn't feel it was worth the price tag.
Even though you have unlocked it, does it still have Vodafone branding? Can you also be sure that you will be in line for OS updates as soon as Huawei release it, and that doesn't have to go through Vodafone first, if the OS had been modified for them?
Also do you think the speaker quality compares favourably to the HTC One line?

Why not just return it if not happy? I got mine unlocked for £3.59 eBay took 7 days. I'm awaiting for return label from Vodafone. Defenitly not worth 500 better off buying nexus 6p for that sort of money.

Using the P9+ side by side with my brothers S7edge, i have not noticed anything exceptionally different on the screen of s7e yet.
The s7e has advantages like sharper images in low light camera and wireless charging (edge screen a bit of gimmick and ui is really boring and annoying)but so does p9 plus excell in other areas. End of the day it comes down to relative personal priorities on what sacrifices they are willing to take on their phone. In my view, no phone of this price is worth the price and that includes s7e. I got this device because it got me addicted to it willing to throw in the big price.
There are ofcourse other budget ranged high spec phones from China but they all have lot off serious user complains and does not meet all rounded spec and quality control level that p9+ brings.

Fair enough my biggest issue is the price tag, just isn't worth 500. I was really interested in the force touch technology but in the end it felt just gimmicky since only few apps used the function.
The phone ticked all the boxes for me it's thin, 5.5 screen, good speakers, good camera, good signal, good design, OK software. Should have been priced around 360 mark and I think it will drop price very quickly.
64GB with Dual sim beats the 32Gb from Galaxy S7/Edge with only 32Gb

Sent you a PM.
Had to get on Vodafone as not available on others yet. Unlocked it so I can continue using O2. Vodafone a bit ****. Still has Vodafone start up screen and apps. Disabled apps.
I may root it. I think the phone is great. I've had all the main competitors. Screen excellent but as mentioned it's not QHD. Finger print scanner one of he best. Camera also one of the best.
Their UI is pants in my opinion. You have to select your goto app. EG Nova launcher won't default until you allow it to. In other phones it will just default when you select. You have to do this for a few key apps.
Design is very nice. Brushed metal, although it does feel a bit like plastic but it is metal.
Just as add on thoughts. Battery life seems excellent. Not sure if they have a DAC in there but the sound quality is very good.
Also, when watching films and the like; the top earpiece becomes a tweeter speaker and the bottom becomes a woofer. Not unlike the HTC 10. Quite impressed at the quality.

Did everyone leave for the S10?

I know the ROG phone forums have always been a little slower than most but no new post in over 3 days! I pre-ordered the S10 plus but after about a week and a half I sent it back and returned to my ROG phone. Is anyone still here with me?
I'm still here. Keeping my phone. The S11 might be worth an upgrade next year, but not the S10.
Here~
Rog phone is a good enough device.
Whew! Just glad I'm not completely by myself.
I am not going to leave this phone.
I didnt eeven care about getting new phone. As for me ROG is quite amazing piece of Tech.

I don't think rog phone's design will be outdated in these next 3 or 4 years. I'm sure they will still look cool! That's why I won't change my main phone with the other ones.
I will change if I won't get VoLTE and VoWiFi. Nice design but useless phone while trying to talk. Poor sound quality due to 3G call and lack of signal at home pushing me away. I've got Pixel 3 XL and works great but don't have 3.5mm jack. Note 9 was my nr1 untill ROG but now I regret I've sold it. Also had OnePlus Avengers edition and it was one of the best.
The Red Magic 3, a new gaming phone, might be worth a look.

Because ASUS tries their best not to honor their warranty, this will be my last ASUS phone. I can't afford a new phone this year, but a lot of cool phones coming out. I'm also interested in possible under screen selfie/front camera in next year models. The screen becomes transparent when the pixels in front of the camera are turned off. Very cool!
I want to sell my ROG phone but currently there isn't a better phone in comparison with what I need!.
Needs:
1. A better dual front facing stereo speakers phone (All the new gaming phones "Red magic 3, black shark 2" included fail in comparison.
2. True bezeless phone without 1 side having a chin or bigger bezel. Either a symmetrical small bezel design or no bezels at all (currently non out there)!. No compromises here!
3. Better Camera!
4. Atleast 8 GB Ram. For all of you suggesting the Pixel 3.
There isn't a single phone out there with all 4 needs fulfilled!
I love the ROG phone but its selling price is depreciating by the day, and my phone is starting to show its age so selling it as fast as possible to recoup some cash for the new upgrade is the best course of action.
My best bet is to wait for the ROG 2, hopping it will overcome all of the ROG shortcomings.
With all the negative feedback about ASUS customer service that is out there, I would say it's dependent on your luck and which country you are in. I still own my Nexus 6p which I bought from Malaysia, Huawei customer service there was top notch in comparison with other countries (I am sure by now you have heard about all troubles this phone had brought to its owners). So coming back to my point which is i will still buy an ASUS phone because all the smartphone brands out there have some terrible customer service and i can't drop the brand for just that, i have owned phones from all the different brands out there and all had one common thing they all had issues in some way or shape.

The front-facing speakers were one of the main reasons I bought the ROG and I was disappointed that the top speaker didn't sound as good as the bottom! The top speaker is a midrange speaker while the bottom speaker is full range. They should have used a full range speaker for both. I saw that there were two different speakers when I watched the teardown youtube video. So I tested and they are different.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 UK

Hi all,
Let us start the UK related discussion here.
Did anyone receive an email from Upgrade Programme UK? I did and it saying that I can upgrade on the 7th of August so happy.
Going for the 5G Model
From what I have seen I'll go with the upgrade from my note 8 this time. Hopes the UK get 5g variant especially with the pro model
I'm In.
Roll on Wednesday.
I'm in if the pro is 5g. Otherwise I am going to wait. I did see the subway shot yesterday online and my god it looks huge!
Will the UK get any perks?! Don't need headphones but earphones will be useful.
What time does the steam start in the UK?
My wallet is sat here itching to be opened....
I am planning to return my s10plus bought 10 days ago and preorder the note 10 plus..

I see people talking about 5g. Do any of you guys even know the health concerns involved with the use of 5g ?
Even if I had a phone with 5g I would never use 5g.
Well it's your bodies so good luck.

Guess you won't be buying it then!
We live in an age where wifi, 4g and other broadcast systems have been cooking our loafs for years. All phone have bluetooth yet we plug earbuds in without worrying. We survived Chernobyl!
I've seen arguments for and against. How do you know whats real and what is some keyboard warrior starting a rumour?!

A vague news report but kinda explains it simplistically - basically if you have a phone glued to your head all day every day (as I read it), there may be concerns...
Of course who is going to admit there are issues now its live???? If we all grow a third penis from our ears, that'll be the result! (plenty have 2 already!).
I’m potentially looking to transfer from iOS, will be tracking this phone, against my past experience with a Samsung.
I don’t see any Android device that doesn’t have a compromise somewhere. Some of those compromises are dealbreakers for me. But basically, I’m bored of iOS.

ALL of the IOS compromises were deal breakers for me! I tried an 8+ 3 year ago and sold it after 2 weeks. Hideous os. I get why people like it for simplicity, integration and a wide range of accessories but the world has caught up now and offers android at least the same level of options with freedom and better functionality. Apple is very overpriced.

I get it, I really do. But the Note 10 at the same spec as a XS Max is going to be similar in price. I might sound like a stuck record for iOS users but I will miss some simple integrations. Instant photo library sync, handoff with clipboard sync, I guess a lot of iCloud’s integrations.
So I have just pre-ordered the Note 10 from Samsung update program, received acceptance etc and email saying credit approved, but my account is now showing the order as cancelled??? Anyone else having any issues?
Ordered mine 10+ 5g 23rd delivery love the ai video and outlook integration

Yes, we do. That's why we will be buying and using these devices.

Be sure to stay at least 10 metres away from anyone holding a 5G phone for your own safety. If you want to carry a sign alerting people to your concerns, we'll be happy to give you a wide berth should we see you out in public.
I have just pre-ordered the Note 10+ 5G 512GB model went for Black
Just ordered the 512Gb 5G model through the upgrade program. Was surprised no 1 Tb Model was available. Hoping they will announce more then the cashback for the Note 10. They did that last time for the Note 9 and extra cash back instead of a preorder offer is getting annoying a little..
