Was wondering if the yotaphone 2 was good for that price and if it's still getting supported officially or on xda.
Yes, it's still getting support officialy. On xda there is someone who wants to build a CM rom for it. I think if you always wanted it but the high price stopped you, now is the moment! I got it at 100€ last month and I'm reeeally happy.
The team behind the smartphone sure seems pretty active, with the recent MM Beta program and the update of the SDKs, I strongly doubt they'll abandon official support anytime soon.
Plus, consider that what you're paying a hundred bucks for a phone that used to cost 500 and more. IMHO HW is great even for today standards and you probably won't find the same build quality in any "more recent" smartphone at the same price.
I want to buy this phone too but i've got a one quick question(so i wont make another topic). In a review i saw the rear screen is changing when you take a photo. Is there any option to disable it and take a hidden photo ? Thanks for answer

Yes, just disable the toggle here and nothing will appear on EPD screen when you take a picture.
Yesterday I saw the yotaphone two for 106.99 USD. It is still dropping in price too. But these are phones made in China, who knows if the glass, battery etc are the same as the original expensive yotaphone assembled in Singapore?

Atleast the e-ink display seems to be having quality control issues:

I don't know if the problem got worse when they started assembling the phones in China.
Curious

The back screen seems to be different. A coated plastic instead of glass.
I'm curious where you saw it for $107.
Cheapest I saw was $118 at Gearbest but that one has the Snapdragon 801 where all the AliExpress sales have the 800.

Yes the 106.99 USD price was 2 days ago on Aliexpress for a YP2 with snapdragon 800. I didn't know that Gearbest sold the YP2 with the better , more modern snapdragon 801. The aliexpress price varies with the USD/CNY exchange rate, today the cheapest price is 111 USD. But you can also easily pick up coupons for an extra 1-5 USD discount, more if you are a new user. Of course if the supplier changes the processor, he can change other things.
Personally I'm waiting for the price to go below 100 USD before buying one. Although I would pay extra for a stronger glass on the EPD side.

According to YOTAPHONE the black glass is made from ceramic coated not plastic.
I have brought YD206 model from Aliexpress and upgraded to YD201 the processes is "qualcomm msm8974pro-aa" AKA Snapdragon 801 2.27 GHz
Could you point to the specific AliExpress site where you bought it??

It very well could be a ceramic coating.
All I know is if you brush the screen against something it leaves marks on the screen.
I know one guy who sanded the coating off and applied some sort of liquid coating.

I'm using near a month now and I have dropped the phone 3 -4 times. The front screen has couple of very tiny scratches but nothing on the back.
Totally believable but I have several medium to large scratches on the back screen, but only in the coating.
It didn't stop me from ordering 1 with the snapdragon 801 from Gearbest yesterday.
I hope the battery life is improved with the newer CPU but the 800 worked well.
I'll carry this one in a nylon case.
With the software/apps Yotaphone has done there are few, if any other phones I would prefer under $200 USD.
The one from Gearbest was shipped by DHL Singapore.
No idea if that means a thing. I've been dealing with Gearbest since July 2014 >80 items and never gotten a crap product or one they would not stand behind unlike Bangbad and Ali.

To me the huge difference is the 801 supports onboard HEVC decoding which equates to much better battery life since the vast majority of video I watch is HEVC.
The 801 has a number of other differences as well, but most aren't important to me since I don't game or run many CPU intensive apps.

I think you misunderstood what TheArt said. He said in YotoPhone2 originally came with 800 but the seller has over clocked to 801. So you don't get any of those features or performance as those articles explain because it is just 800 but with bit of more speed.

No, he was right. I thought that the only difference between Snapdragon 800 and 801 was the max GHz reachable from the CPU, but he proved that there are other differences.

The top one is the 801 for the same price I got at Gearbest (117.99) but for $4.30 more I got DHL shipping.
The bottom listing is an 800 CPU which doesn't have on board HEVC decoding.
Even if I could find an 801 Yotaphone 2 on AliExpress for $10 less it's not worth it to me.
The search time and the insecurity of an unknown seller on Ali.?
Add DHL to the Aliexpress price and I bet Gearbest is cheaper.
I've been buying from AliExpress since it opened and my experience has been that Ali is often cheaper on small inexpensive items but not on most electronics over $25 USD.
I also buy from a dozen other sites and have a pretty good idea where to buy most items at the best VALUE.
That's my business.
My first PC was an IBM 1130
In most countries if you import using DHL you are guaranteed to have to pay customs duty, collected by DHL of course (up to 30%). In the manager's pocket anyway. You have to be unlucky to pay customs duty if you use regular post. And if you do it will the correct amount, not a concocted DHL profiteering amount. I think the posters here don't quite appreciate the sheer volume of fakery in China, they will copy anything and everything. The Chinese will fake antutu testing apps, for me the glass is never gorilla glass and the battery is not the standard one for a Yotaphone. Any retailer from China may be selling fake stuff.

It appears you are correct. I think I was looking at the cancellation policy on pre-orders. Guess that's what I get for posting after a few drinks. :silly:
I thought this was odd. Last year's Note is Best Buy's Black Friday "deal." And at $389 for 16GB it's not much of a deal at that.
Lol retail stores deals are mostly ridicules this year! I'm hoping for a change on Cyber Monday!

Just received the unit. Seals on both ends were broken. The box had dents on all the corners . There's clear tape missing on the sides of the tablet. The camera is covered, but there is protective tape on only one of the sides. The screen protector was crooked as well. Im wondering if this unit is refurbished. On hold for 25 minutes. Spoke with a very nice lady and explained everything to her. The unit doesnt appear to be damaged. I have 30 days to send it back. She said it is their practice to open the boxes to inspect before shipping. Not sure if thats true. Anyway, as long as I dont find problems with it, I'll keep it.

At least for me Amazon has state tax. And these days, Bestbuy price matches with Amazon and Samsung too, so makes more sense for me to walk into Bestbuy and try getting this one for 50$ less
Newegg is also offering this for 500 $ now.

I bought mine with BHPhoto. $549, no tax, free shipping. Already have UPS tracking number
so considering that all these companies(amazon, bestbuy, newegg, samsung ...) are offering the same amount of discount, which one do you guys think is the most reliable to buy from?!
and which ones add tax in CA?

UK
US
Received today by email From Clove Technology in the United Kingdom:
We have today received the unfortunate news that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is unlikely to launch in the UK.
If this is the case, we will not have official UK stock available to us. However, for those customers that are still interested in ordering, we will try to obtain non-UK stock.
More information is available in this blog post and we will continue to provide updates as the situation develops:
http://blog.clove.co.uk/2014/09/15/samsung-galaxy-note-edge-will-available-uk-launch/
Better news though is that The Note 4 will be priced at £479.17 (£575 inc. VAT) which is nearly £100 cheaper than I expected, considering the Galaxy Alpha is priced higher.
Saudi sellers cannot confirm note edge availability I'm getting worried on this

One Thousand One Hundred & Ten bucks, holy blueballs batman.....thats a ridiculous price for a phone! If I'm gonna pay that much for a phone it better be made out of gold! The devs probably got 75 to 100$ in making the dog gone thing, they probably go from dumpster to dumpster looking for scrap TVs / computers and snatch the circuit boards and motherboards then retrofit/rebuild to Sammie's specs, ya think? It would not surprise me.

I still think the price isnt right.
they say the Note 4 is $845
But i know for a fact at tmobile its $750 then if you add tax its bout $811
So just off of that i believe the price will be lower then $1,110
Im still thinking it will be in the $850 to $950 range.
But only time will tell. The word out is that after the note 4 ship. That following week they should release more infor on the edge preorder and pricing.
*edit
Just found out verizon sells the note 4 for $699.
ohhhh it looks like singapore will ge betting the edge

Some Suppliers on Alibaba/Aliexpress/geekbuying already list the Oneplus Two for Presale.
Here are some Links:
Apparently I cant post Links, but you can search them on your own on Alibaba/aliexpress/geekbuying
The Rating of all the Suppliers is pretty good so I gues its not a scam.
I contacted the Suppliers and they only sell the chinese Version, is there a difference besides the OS (which I gues can be flashed pretty easily).
Or are there Hardware-Differences between a Chinese Version and a InternationalVersion like Radio-Frequences and such?
Cause this seems to good to be true :b
I ordered one from Chigon last year and was very happy with it. Only difference was it didnt have a Cyanogen logo on the back but usually they are identical models.
Im ready to order one again but waiting for confirmation its the 64gb version, on chigon it says 64gb in the title but then says black 16gb rom
so dont wanna pay anything out till i know its the one i want lol
It is OK to buy from GeekBuying but you need to be aware some Aliexpress sellers.
You can wait for their review of the Chinese variant. As my experience, GeekBuying always shoot reviews on their YouTube channel for hot products. What's more, you can confirm that they will "have" the OPT.

Yeah I saw the thread from last year, Chigon seems like a really legit Supplier, he also has the 64GB Version as an option now.
But I also found the Supplier Shenzhen Top-One Trading Co., Ltd. , he has a better rating then Chigon and is, at the moment, cheaper then Chigon. So I will probably buy from Top one trading
And it seems that only the OS and Frequences are different to the international model, but all the frequences from my home country are supported so I will defenitly buy it from Aliexpress.
I already ordered from top one aliexpress.64gb model .

"Google decided to skip wireless charging on both devices. That decision didn't come lightly though and the thinking behind it is that USB-C will offer much faster charging than wireless."
I wonder if you'll be able to buy them through the play store, you can buy apps/movies/books but why not phones?
I'll be bummed if I can't order one tomorrow.
I might have a friend of mine bring one up for me, we shall see.

The 5x has been added to the play store but it seems we can only join the waiting list for now....

Ouch $849 that's pricey, the 5x will probably be $529/$599 cad. Im out, not paying $700 after taxes/shipping for a phone that barely has any new upgrades compared to my nexus 5.
Wow, I did not realize how much CAD lost value over USD. Back on N5 release, the rates were closer.

They were 1:1 back then, my n5 was $399 cad back then. Now its brutal, 40% higher.
From what I read, the price on the Canadian 32GB 5X will be 559.00. I ordered mines from States, so I can get the $50 Google play card. Plus, is cheaper in US when you do the exchange rate.
Just ordered my 5X from canada, it's up.
Ordered two 32GB just now.
Just preordered the 32GB carbon. Looking forward to going back to a normal sized phone (currently own the n6)
I decided to pre-order a 32GB Carbon. I wasn't really paying attention and I seem to have put my order in almost an hour after some of you here. My estimated delivery is October 22 - 29
I just ordered 2 32GB. My estimated delivery is oct. 22-29 as well. I'm pretty excited. Anyone else order the 5x case?

That's reassuring. I have never ordered an OEM case, including both the Nexus phones I have owned. I also ordered the flip case for the wife so we'll see how it works out as well.
In the shipping waiting room thread quite a few people noticed the status of their orders changed this morning from "pre-ordered" to "pending". Mine has also changed. I'm not expecting one but it would be nice to see a shipping confirmation email sooner than expected.
I am planning to buy this phone.I am currently using galaxy s8. As good as the phone it is,i am kind of disappointed with the stutters and occasional lag.I want a buttery smooth experience.
So here are my questions?
How is the performance? is it as good and smooth as pixel? Any lags,stutters or hiccups?
did the camera improve after the recent updates?
How is the battery life?
I got a deal for 500 CAD i.e 400 USD . do you recommend the phone?
thanks in advance
For 500 (400 for you) then hell Yes
There’s not a single phone out there with
SD835 with this amazing build at this price
Even OP5 cost more than essential phone.
I would trust essential phone over Chinese phone anyway especially with their BS benchmark and collecting customers’ data.
Best top of the line phone for a budget price.

Thanks. Can you provide some insight into the performance and battery life
Works great, battery is excellent.
Battery life is the best of any device I've had. Camera is great using gcam. Downsides are case availability and really only one usable glass protector. Overall though the device is great.
Fellow Canadian here, is this a public deal. If so I'd love info on where I could buy it as well.

It's appropriately priced at $500 USD, but definitely look I to OnePlus 5T that will be announced soon. Also, many carriers have steep discounts on the Galaxy S8. At Best buy, you can buy an unlocked S8 for 624 USD. If you go through a carrier, some are offering up to $300 off. With Black Friday around the corner, keep an eye out for deals.

Sorry to disappoint you. No its not a public deal. My colleague is offering it.
Even though essential slashed 200$ off the price in states, Telus here in Canada is still selling it for 1050$ if you want to buy it outright.

I am currently using the S8. It's a great phone but the performance is not as smooth as I would like. It is the only reason I am looking at essential even thought it has a crappy camera

Canuck here. I bought this beauty from Amazon.com. Orderd it yesterday morning and recieved it this morning before noon. I'm was using the Note 8 and wanted to try this brute out. Great device for 500.00 bucks US. Worth every dime. Get it before it sells out. It's 1037.00 in Canada, ya right.

which color did you order?I checked amazon.om .Only white one is 500$.I dont see one for Black though
I had an s8 and note 8, performance is on par or better. Battery life is similar to the note 8, so all day with 3-4hrs sot. I also had a pixel and the stock Android experience is very similar, although I do periodically have lockups with some apps where I have to clear then from recents and restart the app. Overall this phone is by far the best phone I have used, and I go through a lot of phones, I also think curved screens are an annoying gimmick and I like small phones.
Edit: I shouldn't say the best phone by far, it's more that it is just a phone that fits what I perceive as the perfect form factor, small foot print with large non curved screen. Being unlocked with stock Android just makes it even better.

It's pretty good, it's not a Samsung device with all of the special little features however for a seamless Android experience, it's great. This device will do well now with price drop. Then when the Essential PH2 comes out, it will go back up in price for sure as it is worthy of it.

Yes I have to agree, the size form for the Essential is great. It's a zippy device as well. I'm glad I have it to use when I want to switch from my note 8 from time to time.
