Mi2 vs Mi2s

Looking into Mi2s, but don't see a forum for it. What's the difference?

The only difference is the SoC. Everything that works on one does on the other (recoveries, roms...)

Mi2s is faster.

Dead topic, but just for those who are trying to look up the difference between the two: I had both phones, the Mi2 and the Mi2s, and I happened to use the same MHL adapter with both. They both have MHL. The only real difference is the clockspeed of the CPU: 1.5GHz vs 1.7GHz

The difference is the clockspeed of the CPU: 1.5GHz vs 1.7GHz. Mi2s is more powerful... on that age

Other mobile ROM install

Can we install ROM of a device which has same specification as our mobile.
Since Redmi 2, Galaxy J5 (2015) & Lenovo a6000 has somewhat same specification....so can we??
If not why???

No. Even if some of the specifications, say the processor and ram, are same; their are other hardware in the phone which are completely different. For e.g., even if any two devices have same camera of 8MP, same aperture and all, but still if the manufacturer of that particular camera sensor is different, they both will require different drivers to run. Same goes with flashlight, proximity sensor, fingerprint sensor and other hardware you can think of. While having the same SoC allows the porting of ROMs and hence ROMs from Redmi 2 m, for e.g., can be ported to the Lenovo A6000/Plus.
Cheers!!

Underclocked Snapdragon 660 or Overclocked Snapdragon 636 on Realme 2 Pro?

It looks like Newly launched Realme 2 Pro have a Underclocked QC SD 660 or Overclocked QC SD 636. I checked Mi A2 (SD 660) , Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 ( SD 636) and Realme 2 Pro ( SD660) in CPU-Z and AIDA64 Apps.

Do not fully trust the information provided in 3rd party apps or other websites. Please refer official websites of each particular phone to get the TRUE and CORRECT information about the processors used in them and the clock speeds that they are set to.
The SD660 used in Realme 2 Pro has a ( Original ) clock speed of 2.2 Ghz when Qualcomm makes that chip but the OEM ( Phone Manufacturer ) can tweak and change the clock speeds of the chip as per their strategy when using it in any phone.
For Realme 2 Pro the manufacturer Realme Mobiles has decided to clock the SD660 processor at 2 Ghz. That can be for various reasons depending on Software Optimizations, Battery Optimizations, Or maybe Just for No Reason :silly:
The point is, for an average user or for any user for that matter, it does not matter much. Plus there is a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Engine ( AIE ) which is not present in SD636.
Nowadays the term "Artificial Intelligence" is so wrongly used by every phone manufacturer to promote and sell their new phones to people who do not have any idea about AI in a smartphone. Fact is, there are only FEW countable chips in this world who ACTUALLY have a dedicated AI Engine in them and SD660 which is used in Realme 2 Pro has that Real AI in it.
So....

fully working poco f1 with all bootloader unlocking this that everything

For me the real benefit of SD660 over SD636 is the GPU, which is about 30% faster and that matters A LOT.

Right. GPU is a very important aspect in todays world where we have high end graphics games and apps. And even slight upgrade in GPU makes a notable difference :good:

Hi,
Then Whats the idea about NPU chip in coming new chipset series? Are they both same or is there any big difference?
Thanks!

Google Camera 4.1.006.135988111 version or lower, its disappointing we cannot use latest feature on samsung galaxy a9, m also confused why samsung didn't enable camera 2 api, were like new company xioami is enabling on there phone, like poco f1...one more thing, samsung should give pro and night mode on this phone also, becoz this phone is special for camera ( Quad camera ), If samsung can't give this feature on this phone then its not worth.

GCam 7 for Samsung A9 2018
hello pls can you help me. I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 updated with android 10 from work. I want to root it just so that I can use Google camera but in 2 years be able to unroot it to give back to office. What exactly do I need to do to (1) backup current stock firmware and (2) get GCam 7.3 working on a Samsung A9?

My device(SM-A920F) have been root and I enable the camera 2 API,but I still can't use the gcam when I open it, it's black screen then crash.
How to do to let Google camera attached the lens?

Hello, you found a solution, the same thing happens to me in all the versions that I have installed.

Poco F2 Pro vs K30 Ultra

Looks like with K30 Ultra (Global Version) we will get a better F2 Pro.
+ 120Hz Amoled & 240Hz touch sampling rate
+ stereo speaker
+ Dual-5G and for sure not only N77/N78
+ AV1 video playback
+ f/1.7
+ 6/128GB 1999RMB 245EUR 290USD
+ 8/512GB 2699RMB 331EUR 390USD
- UFS 2.1
- LPDDR4x
- 4500 mAh
- no 3.5mm anymore
- no custom roms because of MediaTek
- "only" ~530k AnTuTu
- China-Version without B20 800 MHz 4G and no N28 5G
With -280mAh and no 3.5mm we maybe get great speaker. The cheap trash F2 Pro mono speaker is for me already enough to switch.
Will you switch, if we get a global version?

i'm using redmi k30 pro (china version), i like the 120Hz screen refresh rate, but i don't like MTK cpu, not enough to change from k30 pro with 865 SoC

Agree, they should've made it with at least an SD7xx chipset

I'm gonna stick with my trash

its the same screen ? 120hz its software ?

It will also be cheaper.

These three negatives are the largest turn off for me. Especially the MediaTek CPU. It makes installing roms and updates a nightmare from personal experience. Definitely not going switch because of just a bit better screen and speaker.

Not the same screen. Ours is 6.67 , ultra is 6.77

The Mediatek 1000+ is almost a 855+ with >530.000 Antutu score

MediaTek CPU no thanks ?

No MediaTek trash for me. thanks.

I refused to ever buy another mediatek phone , would rather stick with 60hz and love having 3mm jack . The f2 so far is superb .

All I need is root and magisk, I dont care about 3rd party roms

Gonna pick SD865 than a crappy Dimensity 1000+ any day.
If it's 2018-2019, Sure I'd pick dimensity 1000+ but idk since xiaomi eu does not support mtk devices and a chance of bricking an mtk device is there but u can use edl mode but meh.
and headphone jack over 120hz any day. you do get roms on both. it's just the situation right now and the sources we're kinda borked early on for the K30 pro and only a few has their hands on the device. let's see but a big no for the mtk device.
F2 Pro/K30 Pro/Zomm wins for me.

What I don't understand is that need of Xiaomi for flooding the market with so many devices which are apparently almost the same. Are they imitating Samsung?
I'm also of the "trash speaker - headphones jack - 865" club.

Samsund did that, Huawei did that and now Xiaomi do it. Thats why

Not custom ROMs on f2 pro so that's equal.
And mediatek dimension 1000+ it's a beast and cheaper than the sd865. So for me is a win win in all aspects.

Dimensity 1000+ lower performance are not an issue comparing to SD865, even better with its integrated 5G modem. However, lack of Mediatek's technical documentation and development support are the biggest concern. Even with 120Hz display, thanks, but no thanks Xiaomi.

It's only an option if Xiaomi releases the whole Kernel. Hopefully it would be easier to handle than Redmi Note 8 Pro. And we need a global version first because of some required frequencies.

Maybe... Madiatek will finally unleashed the (devs) horses...
