Whats your budget? Are you going to order from a chinese shop or locally?
I think there are better options than these 2 phones. And this is like the worst period of time to buy urself a new phone. I would wait one more month to see the new arrivals.
Redmi note 4x 4g ram also seems pretty decent for its price range.

and also i thought:i dont need a new phone,just a powerful one with good battery,and i found this phone after 20days of searching

Alright so you want battery performance + speed that can pay off the money spent for the next 2 years atleast.
So you should aim for phones with:
1)4gb ram atleast
2) 14mm Soc or less so your battery doesnt drain fast.
Redmi pro has 3gb ram, an outdated soc and you will notice bat issues so i would avoid it.
Le max 2 is more of a jack of all trades, good battery, decent camera, good ram and soc. I would totally buy it over redmi pro. I think there is also better support for le max 2(xda..) so i think that it would be a better choice here. Also b20 band.
And finally there is rn4x. If i were you i would get rn4x. I prefer battery over performance. Just get the 4gb ram version. Last time i saw i think it was gearbest that sold it at a reasonable price.
So for 200 bucks i would go Rn4X> Le max2>rest

Rn4x has 4k mah bat with soc 625 and it will result in a monstrous battery. I feel that you wont be dissapointed. But i would still go for the 4gb ram version. You can also add SD slot, it has audio jack and its size is more affordable(5.5 to 5.7) compared to le max 2.

was it a mistake to buy the Le Max 2 for 175€? ;-;
should have waited haha

I've had mine Max 2 for a month, and now I see this. It's almost the same, I guess it could just be me, but when new iteration is out - I expect improvements in desing, inside and outside.
Le Max 2 being so cheap it had so many corner cuts, like weight, black bezels, fingerprint reader problems, crappy camera and small battery. I don't really see it as saving if you compromise om so many things over the course of two years (normal flagship end-user lifespan/time) just to save about 200-250$, it's about 10$ a month and it won't get you anywhere, but remember how many times you needed just an hour of battery more or you wished those nightshots were better or you want to insta-unlock your phone to writhe her number down but it doesn't recognize your fingerprint... man... I'll be waiting patiently for OP4 or get G6 in summer.

I don't think so. New phone will star on 300-400 USD and it will take some time to be in Stock.
Enjoy your Le Max 2

What size battery would you like, and what other competing phone offers a bigger battery than this??!

What phone after Jiayu S3 ?

I own my jiayu S3 since a long time. It's simply the best phone I have had so far. I love it, and I even bought another one for my wife. But with the applications updates and time passing, the 16 Gb of memory is simply not enough anymore for my usage.
I would like to find a replacement phone similar to my Jiayu with at least 32 Gb of memory and 4 Gb of ROM. The new phone should be dual sim (I work and live in two countries), compatible with European 4G, provide an extension for a memory card (that doesn't use a sim slot) and be easily rootable (I'm an IT engineer, so this is a must). The price should also be less then 300€ (my Jiayu S3 costed me less than 200€, with accessories and shipment included).
Is there any phone that can match this ? I just can't find any so far. I'm asking here because I suspect I'm not the only one wondering what one can use after a Jiayu S3.

It's a tough one. Been looking too for some upgrade after 2+ years of S3 use but there is always one or two things that you have to sacrifice - NFC, separate mSD slot, or sometimes B20 frequency on 4G network. For me, an upgrade from S3 would be a minimum of 4/64GB and 4000 mAh battery. I was looking for a larger screen also (Mi Max 2 with 6.44" is my favorite, although no NFC) and also some od Redmi Note series or some LeEco 5.7" models. Oh, and there is Lenovo P2 but it's not so much of an upgrade.

I like the idea of discussing next phone. We have something in common: our amazing JYS3 but, I think, also our belief in open source development. Next, we inevitably also focus on some different parameters (money, size, functionality, ...).
Personally, money is not the main obstacle, and, I would like a big 6.5" phone (and if needed at all : a 17" tablet) . Actually: for big screen Android experience I prefer a TV box (and dual boot LE for fun), so I probably do not need a tablet.
So, right now, I have hope for 'Huawei Honor Note 9' or 'Xiaomi Mi Mix 2' but -only- if some minimal, say, Google -style ROM can be built. If not then I would be equally happy with a big size madOS supported Mediatek device with excellent specs and support (just like my beloved JYS3s). Or, ideally: a OnePlus 6+ (6.5" phone).

For MadOS Rom, Superdragon mentioned perhaps getting the Vernee Apollo ...

Vernee Apollo looks OK. I want more than 6" next phone. But that's just my wish.

What do you guys think of the Ulefone T1, is it any good and will it be supported bij MAD or other team?

Umidigi S2 Pro?

I think next week I will be ordering Mi Max 2, after 2.5 years of Jiayu S3. It's still running fine so I will probably keep it as backup (and to test Oreo if it comes in near future , but I decided it's time for a bigger screen and much better battery with QC3, which is one of the principal reasons for upgrade...

Exactly. It's a critical advantage for the (more advanced) users to also have open source ROMs available.

Actually, I do not want that phone anymore. Maybe an Apollo 2 Vernee or a Leeco le Max3 (in the future)
A MTK x30 or a smartphone equal or superior Snapdragon 821

A colleague just told me about the XIAOMI Mi A1. It looks like a very good candidate to replace my Jiayu S3:
- nearly stock android, developed with Google partnership (the first Android One phone from Xiaomi), so it should get frequent updates. Android 8 Oreo planned for the end of the year
- made for the international market, not just for China
- dual sim. However the second SIM slot is also used for a memory card. What a silly trend ! But it has 64 GB of ROM, so this is a bit less of an issue
- 4 GB of RAM
- 5.5 inches 1920x1080, like the Jiayu S3
- snapdragon 625 2Ghz
- gpu Adreno 506
- 3080mah battery
- cheap, less than 240$ (200€)

Why did you change your mind?
Those two phones dont look as good as the Umidigi S2 Pro in my opinion.
And slightly better specs dont care to me, am not going to play heavy games.

Personally I've moved from Mediatek devices, got a Le Max 2 and it's a big step camera wise. Mediatek devices promise a lot but these Chinese companies fail to deliver on the specs. They keep bragging about the image sensor because they know they're not going to optimize the image quality.
Outside of MAD there's not really any development going on for Mediatek devices, and Mediatek seems to have given up on high-performance SoCs (X30 was a big flop), so it'll be the boring octa-core A53s for next year. You can find decent Qualcomm devices for the same price, and you'll get custom roms.

This ticks a lot of boxes for me but it is missing NFC.

Does 4gb/64 worth it?

I'm not much into multitasking but do play heavy games on phones. I have a 32 GB memory card with all the necessary files in it, will only use internal memory for apps only(god bless the makers for including a dedicated SD card slot?). So the main question is will 4gb/64gb variant will be a good option for the likes of me or the 3gb/32 variant will be enough?

if you planing to use the phone as long term investment then buy 4gb/64 ..bit more future proofing i think

If your current SD card is not even 50 percent full, go for the 3GB variant. But if it isn't, I suggest you go for the 64GB. It depends on the use and only you know how you will use it.

There is no news about it. I think it will have a Snaodragon 660. Always Asus phones had higher RAM version with a better processor. Also, they willl have tough competition from the upcoming Xiaomi Mi A2 which has a Snapdragon 660. So most probably, it will have.

It'll be awesome if it has Snapdragon 660 at a budget of ₹15k?. Surely will buy that variant if it comes with Snapdragon 660, I mean what else does one want at 15k. Upcoming Xiaomi Mi A2 will be having a tough competition as the battery in that device stands no where near to Asus Zenfone Max Pro.

Mi A2 would be priced around 18 to 21k it will be not launched in this price segment remember Nokia 7 plus has 660 and it is priced around at 27k ,636 is not bad processor either most of the needs it's good.

Yes. Still it has got a better camera and USB Type-C and Android One support.

Snapdragon 660 will have 2.2 GHz top clock speed compared with 1.8 of 636. And also it has Vulkan API support, if you are a pro gamer.

Snapdragon 821 vs AI Edition

Despite the fact Leeco is no more, I'm thinking about buying a Le Pro 3 as I feel it is a great terminal. However, many version with many different chipsets exist, so I'm quite confused.
The Snapdragon 821 version is very rare and costs about double than the "AI Edition" with the deca core Helio X20 chipset from MediaTek. I've seen benchmarks and the 821 is a better chipset, but the difference doesn't seem enough to justify this overlooking the AI edition.
I don't really care about the AI camera, but I was just wondering... using three different CPUs depending on the workload, isn't the Helio phone supposed to have better battery life? Is the x720 version really THAT better? Do the x65X versions lag? Are the x72X versions beasts?

There's no development on the Mediatek variants. I have no idea how they fare in the battery department, but my x727 (SD821) can hit 9-10hrs SOT using mobile data only. When playing games this is reduced to around 4-6hrs - depending on which one. A developer has ported Treble to the x72x models, so it would be the reasonable choice. It's only a matter of time until Android P images will work.

Mediaket processors are VERY battery hungry. Only for that reason I consider it's not a good choice.
Then is the issue of NULL development because Mediatek doesn't let anyone access its source codes. You'll get stuck in stock rom (an ancient 6.0 MM) and if you are not an english/chinese speaking person it's hard to find a proper localization.

To add to what everyone else said: mediatek processors get too hot which will give the phone a short lifespan.

Thank you for your answers! So, even the Helio X20, with its 10 cores, does not seem to be able to drain and heat less. Didn't know MTK are closed source too. Guess I'll try and get my hands on a x720 then. Thanks again!
