Hey Guys and Gals
Sony's latest flagship is hitting the street less than six months after its predecessor. The Xperia Z3 is also similar in hardware to the Z2, is it worth the upgrade?
Sony touting improved battery management, the addition of remote PS4 play and some tweaks to the camera software, is it enough to keep people coming back? Lets break down some of the features of the Sony Xperia Z3:​
Design
The design is lighter and slimmer than the Z2, while largely similar, its more of refining the design than a whole new device. As previous versions, the Z3 features the same dust and water protection, IP65 and IP68 certification, so should be good for 30 minutes at 1.5 meters water depth. The reinforced corners and tempered glass will also help those a little accident prone.
The Z3 is available in several metallic colors black, white, copper and green.
Screen
The Z3 has basically the same screen as the Z2 a 5.2" panel with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution. With competitors flagship's moving to QHD displays, its an odd choice. We're still unsure if if the increased resolution will make a big difference on devices with this size screen and if keeping the pixel count lower Sony has achieved its claims on battery life. If you're happy with the Z2's screen, this should suit.
Hardware
Despite the Z3 being only having marginal improvements over its predecessor, it still packs a punch. Powered along by a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor as found in the Galaxy S5, and is backed up with 3GB of RAM. As with most flagship devices, it has the usual array of connectivity options including 4G, NFC, Wi-Fi and low-energy Bluetooth 4.0. The Z3 also sports stereo speakers, so audio output should be enough for those quick youtube moments.
The camera is the same seen in the Z2 with a 20.7 MP sensor, thought some software improvements have been added. A 25mm G lens for wider, clearer shots has been included and the cameras ISO rating has been upgraded. With 4K video recording also available, this is an appealing package.
Software
Here is the Z3's main party feature, PS4 remote Play! For some this may be the deal breaker, and it is appealing having fully fledged console gaming on a mobile device (for those who dont own a PSVita) Sony has made available a smart looking attachment for the PS controller, so the Z series devices can be mounted above for a full mobile gaming experience. This is a most welcomed add-on, personally i don't get on with on-screen controllers, you just cant beat the feel of real buttons Lets hope one of the community's fantastic devs can port this bad boy to other devices:good::highfive:
Sony has also introduce the lifelog service to its latest devices, this is a fitness and well-being application. Lifelog uses the Z3's sensors along with other wearable's (Smartwatch 3) to collect data on distances covered, calories burnt, workout intensity and steps taken etc. Its a nice touch for those who own other Sony devices.
Battery Life
This is where Sony claims to of upgraded the Z3, despite having a lower rated battery 3100mAh over 3200mAh, Sony have worked on the power management and now claim the Z3 will last a full 2 days over the Z2's 1.4. We have yet to see if these claims are true, so looking forward to members experiences on this.
Now lets take a look at a video hands on:​

Z3 camera have 12.800 ISO setting in camera, and also some kind of "white magic" display.

Can the camera save to the SDcard instead of Internal Storage?

Z4 will be all Z2 should be...
Powered by S805 and 4GB ram, 64GB internal memory and Android 5.
Sony didn't bring anything new and we all knew that'll be the case...
They just want to be in our heads...that's all.
If you upgrade from Z2 to Z3 you'll get few new apps and features and that's not enough...
Of course, Sony want older users (not by age but devices) to upgrade and stay in Z family...and that's OK...even...
If I'm stuck at Xperia S or even older (P or U) I would rather buy Z2.
I'll be significantly cheaper and you'll still get awesome device.
To conclude - I think I'll wait Z4... That'll be great device...
For now...I'm enjoying my Z1 and Z2 and I love them both...
Great devices...

How will the water resistance hold up to the microSD slot? If I open and close the microSD flap cover a bunch, would it wear out and allow water in more easily?

I have a z2 tablet and the flaps are perfectly fine. I haven't notice any wear and tear on them.

Will it do this without root though? I thought with KK apps couldn't save to the SD anymore without a root mod (like on my Note 2)

You can look here: http://www.doogeemobile.com/blog/how-to-root-doogee-hone/

Doesnt work. This is for g550 phone. Look javierin the comments. This is me. So please, put real info. Iknow how to search in google too.

No, they are reseller and in this foro the root they mention isnt a root for doogeex5. It does not work.

I managed to get myself a decent deal on a Doogee X5 here for $59,99, and this is my review of the phone itself:
http://www.dd4.com/goods/Original-D...HD-IPS-5.0MP-sim-dual-Wcdma-Unlock_60658.html
The X5 is Doogee’s entry to the budget phone market and the reason why it caught my eye was that it boasts a 5” 720P screen a quad core MediaTek CPU as well as Android 5.1 for less than 60 USD, which is almost unbelievable at this price point.
The box the phone came in was rather plain with some details regarding the specifications, IMEI and such, but other than that there’s not much worth mentioning. Inside the box is the phone itself, a short manual as well as a charger for the phone. So when it comes to the phone itself it’s completely made out of plastic, but it feels very solid due to a built-in metal construction. On the side of the phone there’s a power button and volume rockers, and on the front there’s a 720P IPS panel with decent viewing angles.
When it comes to the CPU, it boasts a Mediatek MTK6580 CPU that provide decent performance for daily usage (such as YouTube, browsing the web etc.) and it compares to the Snapdragon 400 system-on-a-chip. The main performance drawback is the built-in GPU, Mali 400, which leaves much to ask when it comes to performance in games and other 3D applications.
So when it comes to the software experience I’m pleased, as it’s a very pure version of Android with just a few additional applications. The UI is very fluid and smooth, and I’ve not noticed any major issues when navigating the phone, other than a few stutters when running many applications at once, which I suspect is related to the limited amount of ram.
This phone comes with a 2100mAh hour battery from the company BAK Battery (2300mAh according to doogee, which is false) and that combined with the MTK CPU provides decent battery life. With 50% of brightness, it lasts about a day or two with a simcard in the phone and about 2-3 days with no simcard. However, if you increase the brightness to 100% you’re likely to see big battery drops and therefore I recommend keeping it around 50-60% at most – the lower the better.
The phone isn’t free from drawbacks and the one that’s most noticeable is the camera, which is not very decent and provides kind of mediocre results. The videos and pictures taken with it looks all grainy and noisy and therefore this isn’t a phone for the camera enthusiast to say the least, but it’s okay for simple Facebook pictures and what not. Another drawback is the internal speaker which is loud but have a tinny sound, but at this price point this is very common.
So overall, I’ve had this phone for a few weeks now and I’ve had no major complaints, and with this sort of value for 60 USD I can’t do anything than to recommend this phone. It’s one of the better budget phones I’ve tried and its worth having a look at it if you’re on the lookout for good budget phone!

I got Doogee this weekend and I found it a great deal for its price.
So far I've had a huge problem with it; After 5 mins it loses its data connection and mobile connection. I have tried configuring APN, and many other configurations and I haven't been lucky at all. The phone should work with my carrier cause it runs a 850/1900 mhz band. Any hint about it?

I really like the green color, waterproof/resistant, the vibrating motor is amazing (I think this is a part many overlook in reviews but I hate rattling vibrator motors).
The battery life could be better but its not disappointing in my opinion this will probably get better with marshmallow. Oh and the low light camera performance is slightly worse than what I was expecting.
Overall I think its one of the best android devices this year. No other high end smartphone has IP65&IP68 while keeping a pretty design (the S6 active is ugly plus touchwizz dont even wanna think about it). The camera in daylight is amazing much better than the iphone 6s plus(I own both devices).
Thats about it I think as far as why I picked the Z5.

Spec wise, to me, it's the only complete package phone of 2015 besides the lg g4.

I wanted a ~5 inch screen, had to be FAST and a have great camera. I like pointy rectangles in my phones and a close to stock Android interface too.
Samsung S6 is an ugly phone with a gaudy UI - never considered it even though I could've bought one for €200 less...
Regret: Should've gotten the green one.

I had the Z2! Really felt an absurd difference in the vibration of the Z5! Very good! Sony changed the vibration motor?

I like the design of the phone. Ergonomics, finger print scanner, frosted glass design. Enjoying my device

The vibrator motor in my Z1 was enough to make it fall off my desk if someone was calling (I had to tone it down) and all I hear about Sony from any decent reviewer is the vibrator motor is enough to break your femur

Hello guuys i've a question,
it is supossed that z5 has SD810 v2.1 rigth? , so why cpu temp shows mine as rev1?

OPPO Find X5 Pro Review: Part 1

Intro
As part of the OPPO Ambassador programme, I was one of the lucky 20 people to be selected to review the OPPO Find X5 Pro. I was sent the global model of the OPPO Find X5 Pro in ceramic white 256GB 12GB RAM. With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and MariSilicon NPU, I’m expecting seamless gameplay experience and high quality imaging prowess. Ive had the OPPO FInd X5 Pro for over 2 weeks now and it's time for my review which I have split in 2 parts.
Part 2
Contents
So starting off with the contents of the box, we have an 80w SuperVooc charger. I’m glad to see this as Apple and Samsung don’t include chargers but OPPO has here and it’s a whopping 80w. There is a small box which includes: a quick guide, safety guide, warranty card and a transparent soft tpu case. I appreciate this being included as it offers that extra protection in case of those accidental drops.

Build Quality / Design
Taking a look at the sides of the device, on the right hand side is the power button with a subtle green accent. On the left hand side is the volume rocker, which are actually 2 separate buttons. And then on the bottom is the sim tray, usb type c port and a bottom firing speaker. All of this goodness is encased by an aluminium frame.
The phone feels great in the hand and has very pleasant ceramic finish on the back. Having the white model, you won’t notice any fingerprint marks. The camera module is very unique here, it’s like it melts into the back of the phone. Having said that, the phone is a little slippery so be mindful where you place it or just use the included case.
Display
As for the screen, simply put, it’s amazing. It has 6.7” AMOLED display (Gorilla Glass Victus) which is QHD+ resolution. The screen is curved but nothing too extreme. The screen has a refresh rate of 120Hz and you have the option to toggle between 60hz 120Hz. There is also an option manually to 1080p (from 1440p) if battery life is a concern. As for the screen brightness, it maxes out to 1300 nits so there shouldn’t be any issues in bright sunny days. As for the front facing camera, there is a punch hole camera on the top left corner. Oh and there is a pre-applied screen protector which is always welcome and will prevent any unwanted scratches.
Performance
Like some of the other Android flagship phones out there, the OPPO Find X5 Pro has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU paired with 12GB of RAM with the ability to add up to an additional 7GB of virtual RAM! The launching of apps and games are pretty much instant and just generally using the phone it is fast and fluid. The fingerprint reader is excellent, much more responsive than the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Pixel 6.The screen has LTPO Technology which means it can adapt its refresh rate from as low as 1Hz to save on battery life, or ramp up all the way up to 120Hz something which the S22 ultra does. When it comes to benchmarks, it does not disappoint. I have decided to test Geekbench 5 and 3DMark (20 mins strees test) on standard mode and performance mode.
The Xiaomi 12 (on the right) which also has the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU overheats quickly and starts to throttle. This does not happen with the OPPO Find X5 Pro
Gaming
So when it comes to gaming, it doesn’t disappoint due to packing the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, which is a slight step from its predecessor the Snapdragon 888. I have tested some of the popular games which includes Asphalt and PubG. To really test the limits of gaming I have actually used several emulators, namely AetherSX2 which is a free PlayStation 2 emulator. Games have been ramped up to 3x their native resolution (which boosts graphics dramatically), this makes the CPU and GPU work hard. The higher you ramp up graphics whether it’s a game from play store or emulator, the hotter the phone will get.
There is also many gaming options; Game focus where you can block calls, messages, notifications, gesture navigations and more. You can also start screen recorder from within there, a voice changer, show the FPS, GPU and CPU usage. You can also play around with performance modes, there are 3: Low power mode, Balance mode Pro Gamer mode
Software
The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with the latest version of Android 12 along with its custom skin called ColorOS and its on version 12.1 at the time of this review. While we’re on this subject, since I’ve had this phone, there have already been 2 small updates. OPPO have committed to 3 Major updates and 4 years of security patch updates. So far I have found ColorOS a delight to use, I have found it to be very smooth and the settings is well organised. There is no lag like I have noticed on MIUI 13 on the Xiaomi 12 which is a flagship phone. ColorOS is so thought out, for example there is a setting for Haptic feedback, you can choose between Crisp and Gentle, whichever you select, there is a small animation that plays and the haptics goes off so you can get a good idea of how it will feel. One thing worth mentioning is that there is an option to add other users to the phone, you won’t find this on the latest Xiaomi and Samsung flagships. If someone (including children) wanted to use my phone for a short period, I can just create an account for them and they won’t have access to my account at all.

OPPO Find X5 Pro Review: Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of my review
Part 1
Features
When it comes to features, there are just so many to list and many of them are useful such as
Multi-Screen Connect: As OPPO puts it, you can quickly transfer files between your PC and phone. Edit documents saved on your phone from your PC. Receive phone notifications on your PC. This is definitely handy as now I don’t need to look at my phone when I’m working, whenever I receive notifications on my phone, I can interact it from my PC.
Gestures: There are a plethora of gestures and motions you can use to make day to day usage very easy: Swipe down with 3 fingers to take a screenshot, air gestures, if your hand is not clean or its wet, you can do wave your hand to answer a call or scroll through YouTube. Continuing with gestures, you can assig some gestures whilst the screen is turned off i.e. draw the letter v to turn the torch light on which is very inconvenient instead of having to unlock the phone, swipe the notification shade and then enabling the torch. You can also set it up so it opens an app of your choice.

Personalisation: Here you can customise your phone which includes:
Wallpapers: which also includes live wallpapers.
Always-On Display: this is where the user can see information such as date, time, and notifications when the screen is off.
Themes: Here you can download many premade themes from the online store or individual aspects such as fonts, wallpapers, live wallpapers or video ringtones.
Icons: You can select the icon style from OPPO’s default, Material Style, Pebble or Custom where you can change the shape and whether to show app names or not.
There is also other options that fingerprint animation and edge lighting (for notification)
Camera
It seems OPPO is really focused on the camera this time round, so much so that now the Find X series has a 6nm Imaging NPU called MariSilicon X. OPPO says that it features the best-in-class power efficiency, 20 bit ultra-high dynamic range, real-time RAW processing, and Enhanced RGBW Pro Mode. It will enable high-quality 4K AI Night Video and live preview on Android smartphones for the first time. To take things further, OPPO has partnered up with Hasselblad to refine the camera prowess.
The triple camera set-up consists of 50MP main and ultra-wide lenses (Sony IMX 766), 13MP 2x zoom telephoto lens, and a 32MP selfie camera. The cameras have 5-Axis Optical Image Stabilization SLR-level technology which helps with taking photos and videos whilst you’re on the move.
I have taken lots of photos and they all turned out excellent, you can see lots of details. Portrait photos are also really, good probably the best I have seen yet. Night photography is also impressive as well as the 4k Ultra Night Video.
Battery Life
The OPPO Find X5 Pro comes with a MASSIVE 5000mAh battery that is higher than that of the Xiaomi 12 Pro Galaxy S22. I have found the battery life to last me easily over 1 day and with Super power saving mode, that can be extended to 2 days! As for the charging speed, it charged from being fully drained to 100% in just 36 minutes. This mainly thanks to the 80w SuperVooc charger that is included in the box. I don’t have the wireless charger which is dubbed as AirVooC, but its charges at 50w, that’s better than the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s wired 45w charger.
Conclusion
Overall I have to say this phone impressed me a lot, I mean why wouldn’t it? It has the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, excellent main camera, massive 5000mAh battery with really fast charging. It has a beautiful 6.7” QHD+ AMOLED display which is a joy for media consumption. ColorOS12 has come really far, it doesn’t feel really heavy at all, no noticeable lag and everything is just so though out. The cameras are excellent, just point and click and you get great photos.
Having said all of that, It is slighty on the pricey side but I think this a great alternative to the Galaxy S22 series.
