n9005 is better the the n900, but if custom roms is a concern for you, then n9005 is the right one.
in doing daily tasks, there are no noticeable differences except for battery life which i read that it is better on the n9005.
if you can get someone to buy it for you (n9005) and check for hardware issues, it would be great.
i myself had to buy it from outside my country (my cousin bought it and sent it to me) and got it right with no problems from the first time.
i bought the n9005 version because custom roms are a big concern for me (you know, why am i buying an android if i'm not going to mod it?)

Have a look on this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600536

For all intents and purposes, you will always want to stick with the Qualcomm Snapdragon version of any phone, including the N900x. The Samsung Exynos SoC may be able to provide you with better battery life and performance (Samsung's approach to controlling both hardware and software of their devices like Apple), but the weak developer support is simply not worth it. And all versions of the Qualcomm model (with the exception of Verizon's) are the same International version with an unlocked bootloader, and therefore can be flashed with any ROM from the Android Development forum.

Exynos device is not supported by many good devs, so really, if you want to use custom roms on your phone, then you are better buy an snapdragon version

Yu Yureka. (assuming the build quality is good)
The Yureka is delivered with Cyanogenmod and the source codes needed to allow custom rom development will be provided. That means you have a decent guarantee of future updates (in the worst case, you have the code to build an update yourself).
Lenovo generally ships dead-end devices with no source codes and locked bootloaders. It now owns Motorola (who make great open devices) but, I generally avoid Lenovo-branded smartphones and tablets (and I am a long-time IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T user).

Now if you want lots of customization, themes and all.. a phone with great software, go for YU Yureka.

In my opinion i suggest you to buy yureka handset because it comes with Cyanogenmod rom and that allow allow custom rom development with under warranty and it will give you Lollipop update for this handset.

Dude go online and buy a Nexus 5 on the auction site. Then install Cyanogen or Paranoid or Slim or MIUi and it will be better that the YU Piece of Crap.

ASUS Announces 547457547 new versions of the Zenfone 2

http://www.phonearena.com/news/New-...mputex-with-laser-auto-focus-on-board_id69969
This is going to make the custom ROM scene for this line of phones, if it ever exists, a nightmare. And it's the exact reason why I just may not purchase this phone now. Who in their right mind is going to make ROMs to support the 8000000 versions of the Zenfone 2 (if the right things even happen to allow it)?

I know right. Some many Models its hard to keep up with them. I'm sticking with the Intel version, because its just a repeat of the first generation of the ZenFones and the Intel version overpowers the Snapdragon 410 and 615. I just hope we get an unlocked bootloader and Official Root.:thumbup:

this is madness..and yet they still didnt unlock bootloader for ze551ml and keep releasing newer model..but the i am most disappointed by asus for they support on lollipop, android OS is acting like crazy on this android 5.0r2..they should focus on improving this intel version first before they get blamed by older users..

Intel powered Zenfone 2's will still continue to be Flagships. The newer Versions, i.e. Selfie, Zenfone 3 and these New Snapdragons are no competition to our device. Asus is lagging in updates. It should have fixed the battery issues by now. Asus must give users an option to Install stock AOSP on our devices. ZenUi might be great, it is also heavy on system resources and battery.

its simply like the exynos vs snapdragon time of the samsung series.. no biggie.

Well actually from what I seen.. all four ZE551ML variants (2gb z3560, 4gb z3560, 4gb z3580 32gb, 4gb z3580 4gb) have single rom and ZE550ML have separate rom...so i dont think there will be a problem...

The model numbers surely will confuse lots of users, ZE500ML is Intel and ZE500KL is Snapdragon, I predict lots of hard bricks...

Well that's good to know. I am still now leaning towards getting a used LG G3. A lot less confusion there to say the least, and I will get it for less than $300, so win-win in those two aspects.

Help!! Leeco lemax 3

Got my hands on the unreleased lemax 3 (don't ask how) but the eui sucks and the phone has too many bugs, I just wanted to know that is there any rom in which I could use it
PICS AND SCREENSHOT:-https://imgur.com/gallery/c8RiH
Specs :- sd 821, 13mp dual cam nd 16 front, 6gb ram 64 gb storage, 2k display

You got that phone...? How?! It's unreleased! Please give me detailed specifications of the device. If not here, then PM me.
Also, as for the answer to your question, you won't find any ROMs for that device right now cause.. well, it's unreleased

Well i was just thinking that I can install the rom of lemax 2 or pro 3,
as for the device I got it from a company worker as u can see in the pics it has some serial no printed in the whole phone
It's specs are :- 2560*1440 resolution 5.7 inch screen, Android 60.1, snapdragon 821 with 6 gb ram 64 gb storage, 4000 mah battery 13 mp dual cam secondary is black and white cam front 16mp.

How will you install the ROM? Since it's unreleased, there's no recovery. Moving on, you can try installing a ROM from the Le Pro 3 forums, but it'll surely be extremely unstable and buggy. Probably even more so than your EUI. Still, if you're determined.. try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/rom-paranoid-android-t3635168
And finally, I had been planning to buy a Le Pro 3 this Christmas, but now if the Le Max 3 is coming.. Do you know when will the phone release and what will be the expected price??
Lastly, if I helped you in any way, please press my thanks button. It slightly helps

@anmolsraj Where did you purchase the phone, from what reseller? Please don't say TinyDeal.. I was about to order one there, it might have saved me from a doomed day.
Please let us know from what source you got your device. It looks like a weird model because those models normally have one camera sensor and not two (in the rear)? Yeah the cool dual has two cams but the x7xx models should not have them?

That's because that phone is an Le Max 3. An unreleased phone. The OP must've got it from a friend who's related to LeEco. Don't expect to get it as of now.

I looked at TinyDeal on uhm trustpilot. Not going to buy it there haha..
Looks like they buy and ship after buying stock hence the price they also declare the item as its real value. Meaning that customs will rape ya.

Too bad.. I was hoping that this phone would work with Android Nougat, so that we could extract the ROM from it.
We could then have port it on the Max2 or Pro3.

I am pretty sure posting information about unreleased device is illegal will get you in trouble according to NDA.

Anything to know before buying the - ZE552KL - version of the Zenfone 3?

So my LG is dead, and I came across this phone.
What attracted me was the looks of it, it really looks nice! (and then it had some nice specs as well )
*But, it only has 3000 mAh battery, so I wonder how this phone does on a daily usage? I came from an LG G2 D802 with 3000 mAH as well, but smaller screen. So what do you think about the battery life, and if you have any other device to compare it with ?
I am planning to buy it on Aliexpress, but before I buy, I want to know if this phone has - like many other devices a "Chinese" version that the sellers on Aliexpress flash ROM on before shipping? Or this device has actually only 1 model? I also saw that Asus has an official store on Aliexpress so I am less worried, but still
Thanks!

Hi verynoob,
ZenFone 3's CPU is Snapdragon 625 (14nm FinFET) which has good battery life & good performance thanks to Adreno 506 GPU. Well ZenFone 3 has 2 versions (ZE520KL & ZE552KL). Both has same CPU but the difference is the RAM and storage. I have listed the specifications below:
ZE520KL: 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM, 5.2 inch Full HD screen with 2650mAh battery capacity
ZE552KL: 4GB RAM + 64 GB ROM, 5.5 inch Full HD screen with 3000mAh battery capacity
*Note: Different market/region, different RAM/ROM configurations & different LTE speeds & bands
If you buy ZenFone 3 from China/Taiwan/Japan, most probably the seller will change SKU to WW (which means no OTA upgrades and you can only update your device manually)
And ASUS just released Android Oreo for our device
Hope this helps

Thank you, I see you also have the same name as the phone haha, nice
So There is no way to make it OTA update, by flashing an official ROM somehow? Or that's not possible, and it's hardware thing

Haha. Usually, ZenFone 3 that comes from China will use CN SKU and Japan will use JP SKU. On the other hand, the serial number is attached with the SKU. Once the seller changed to WW SKU, ASUS can't provide you updates. So, manual update is only way to upgrade firmware.

Thank you, it does seem worth to buy, that's why I'm so skeptic before buying it, because from some reason I never heard of it before, until I accidentally encountered it on Aliexpress. And I dont know anyone who do know about it
It seem too good, even has USB-C, Gorlla glass, it's IPS+, and a great camera, and it's not too expensive. (Although 3000mAH isn't the best comparing to Xiaomi Redmi Note 4).
It has to have some flaws! Come on guys

So, would it make sense to buy it right now? Here in Italy I could get the ZE520KL from amazon at 220€ ( 273$ )

One thing you should take a look into, if you're planning to use Custom ROMs on this phone you will be disappointed, since not many ROMs available for this phone and not so many devs are working on it either (no offcial ROMs for it if I'm not mistaken).

The better version (5.5 inch with 3000 mAH is on 250-260$) right now on Aliexpress if you wish
And for that little price difference, perhaps you should consider the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017, which some of my friends have, and it looks great, great screen, great battery life. I had a Full HD Lg G2 on a 5.2 inch display, And the A5 is also FHD on a 5.2 display, yet it looks better in my opinion, and battery life is better. I dont know how Samsung does it, much better battery life with the same capacity

It's OK I've used my LG G2 with the stock ROM ever since, I just don't have time to mess with my phones currently, although it is fun
