I don't know if I'm right to post it here, but I have one single doubt before choosing between Le Pro3 or something like Redmi 7 (that is really slightly cheaper). I was looking at this device's xda forum and found some people reporting that their phones got suddenly hard bricked. I wanna know how common is this issue. Could I buy it or probably some unexpected death will haunt my phone usage?
No, stick with Redmi. Too many risks involved with this one in particular. It wasn't released outside of China. The x720 and x722 are total bang-for-your-buck devices though. If you can get them for like $120 USD or something, then go for it

I completely agree with @sk8223
Absolutely the Le pro3's with the Snapdragon 821 or 820 processors are a fantastic phone without a doubt. The problem is that some of those bargains at $120 and actually refurbished units and I have heard stories about the quality not being as good as the original.
Meanwhile the Redmi Note 7 Pro comes with a Snapdragon 675 and an excellent camera, modern bezels and if you buy the global version the software is excellent.
Yes, there are many great Roms for the Le Pro 3. However, the Le pro 3 will always be stuck with using an old kernel 3.18, and unfortunately updating kernel any further is a monumental task that is simply not going to happen. So in my opinion, I also feel that you are much better off with a New Redmi Note 7 pro
Biggest issue with the LePro3 is the usb port burning out and the battery wearing out. Both are replaceable but it's an involved process that requires a heat gun to remove the screen.
The parts are cheap though. I got the usb board for $5, a replacement battery for $20 and replacement screen for about $17. These are cheaper than iPhone parts!
Other than that, 4 GB of Ram and Snapdragon 821 cpu is great.
Have any Le Pro 3 owners switched to a Note 7? My Le Pro 3 Elite is working fine but I have been thinking that the Redmi might be a worthy upgrade.
I've owned the Pro 3 x727 since release. The USB port and battery are fine, it can still hit 8+ hours of SOT. Would I suggest the Pro 3 to someone in 2019? No. It's easy to find nicer phones at a similar price. For example, the 3a was going for ~150 after trade in.
Some newer phones have better thermals- which allows them to maintain their peaks longer. If you play games this is obvious. Let's say you're playing PUBG @60fps and recording, the Pro 3 will heat up and throttle. That 60 will soon turn into a stuttery mess.
Then you have to consider sensors. Pro 3 lacks a wide angle and telephoto lens. Thus, limiting the type of images a user can capture. In addition, 64GB doesn't provide much room, at least not for me.
The Note 7 has an SD slot, modern design, and a taller display. Seems like a no-brainer.
One thing I would keep note of it whether the redmi has the band's you need for lte. I know it depends on the cell provider and carrier. But a lot of these international version phones tend not to have the same extended bands needed for indoor coverage in the US

[AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm having trouble trying to decide whether to post this in the ZenFone 3 threads or here in the ZenFone 5 threads because I am looking at this from the perspective of a 3-year ZenFone 5 user. If this post is supposed to be in the ZenFone 3 forums, by all means, please move my thread. Thank you!]
Title is technically too much of a gist right now.
I'll be recursive on this one... Is the ZenFone 3 worth it? I've had my share of joy with the sheer potential of this phone while being extremely affordable for its class. I've also had my share of disappointments like ASUS intentionally shipping "defective" motherboards along with them (You know... The bootloader-freezey thingy?), the mediocre battery capacity, the worse than mediocre service from ASUS, and the inexperience of developers with the x86 platform (I own an A500CG model).
One of the main reasons why I want to move up is because 8GBs (only 4GBs usable) is becoming too small for my needs now. I'd stay with my ZenFone 5 for a lot longer if only I could use custom 6.0 ROMs so that I can adopt my 64GB MicroSD card (which is technically a waste because as it is right now, Android 5.0 just isn't being too friendly with them. Root mods like those from Xposed can only do so little. My best option is to go 6.0 with the Adopted MicroSD support).
SIDE QUESTION: Is the reason for me switching phones just plain silly?
If you could definitely recommend the ZenFone 3, I'd bite it. If not, anything better, perhaps? All opinions welcome!
i speak as well form the perspective on a zf 5 user ( victim with the freezing issue) to me the zf5 was a complete flop with its many flaws to which the list will never end ..................the zf2 was a bang to the buck mid ranger device well worth to the money (based on my friend who has the 64 gb deluxe version) and then come the zf3 which just blows up with a massive price tag of 300+$ for what it it looks on the outside it might look reasonable but under the hood it has quite a slow processor for the price i mean 625 sd should come around the place the zf2 did in price not higher ...... in my opinion you might want to drop the zf3 and go for xiaomi note 3 pro which is more better in terms speed and durability than the zf3 has (speaking from the 4ft drop test by tech trinkets for zf3 and the scratch, bend and burn tests by jerryrig everthing for xiaomi)
These are the two phones I want right now. All I want from a Chinese phone is that everything works. So QC is important to me. Gps, signal, WiFi, materials etc. Which should be better? I'm guessing the xiaomi?
It seems like as far as working well at least if you are in the US the Pro3 is going to work better as it has all of the proper bands.
These 2 are different devices in many aspects
http://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=7260&idPhone2=8344
Depends on what you are looking for. I am going with the Le Pro3 because, it is the only flagship spec device with 4000mah battery and has necessary bands to operate in the USA. Not to mention, a local purchase also gives me easier product warranty.
Now, I absolutely hate that it doesn't have the audio port. I shall have to see if I can live without that.
Mi5s reportedly has a better camera, but I am not so sure. You also gotta think about the size. 5.5" vs 5.1"
Whatever suits you better...

What are your priorities? Do you plan on using things like Android Pay, Netflix, Pokemon GO, banking apps, etc., therefore do you need a ROM that passes SafetyNet? It's much easier to get a SafetyNet-passing ROM on a Xiaomi phone than an LeEco phone.
If you do decide to go with LeEco, try to get the x720 or the x727 version. x727 is the U.S. model with the U.S. stock ROM (which passes SafetyNet). It's the ideal model. The Pro 3 x720/x722 have custom ROMs, including LineageOS. The x722 doesn't. The x722 version has no custom ROMs. Don't buy it if you plan on using custom ROMs.
I would still recommend the Mi5s Plus over any LeEco phone today. More support, more ROMs. Even if you end up with a fake/shop ROM you can easily replace it with a stable MIUI version using EDL mode and MiFlash. You also have an active online community at miui.com. LeEco? Nope.
Better safe than sorry: Xiaomi phones
Cost effective (but easier to brick): LeEco

Mi Note 2 :good: As long as it's within your budget.
The one thing I'd be concerned about with the Mi Note 2 would be the AMOLED screen. You might experience burn-in after a year. Even people with S8s have started experiencing burn-in now... still no solution to this. I'd stick to the Mi5s Plus but it's up to you.
Where's the source for these burn-ins?? it is not Samsung's AMOLED that Xiaomi uses, it is LG's. And this phone is been around for a year now and I haven't heard of them exploding or faulty ones. There's only one case here in Brasil that the phone Explodes but the guy changed the back panel following a tutorial (por guy / not Xiaomi's fault).. I would risk it with Note 2 just because the camera is slightly better than Mi5s Plus.. Bit I wouldn't risk it with Le Pro 3 because they have cheap quality control and I'm not OK with those huge black bezels.. Mi5s Plus has a perfect FLAT screen but I'm worried about its câmera
Hello Guys,
I need a new phone, because my Umi Super died (long story short: it didn't like beer).
At first i thought the x722 would be a no brainer. Such nice specs for so little money.
But with the Umi Super i had other annoying problems like bad GPS and Camera etc.
Do you guys have similar experiences on the X722?
I am thinking of buying the X722 or the Xiaomi Mi A1. Great Hardware vs Great Software Support.
What would be your decision?
Thanks in advance!
If I were you, I'd buy the Xiaomi Mi A1. The Mi A1 has way more support, official updates and custom ROMs. But it's around $200 USD. The Pro3 Elite (x722) can usually be had for around $150 USD, but will never get any updates from LeEco. So it depends on how much you want to spend. Also, the LeEco Pro3 Elite doesn't have a headphone jack or expandable storage like the Mi A1 does.
I would never use the x722 as my daily driver, that's for sure. I only use mine as a media consumption device and nothing else. ROMs for the device are in development, but there are no completely bug-free Oreo or Nougat ROMs for the device, as no official ROM past 6.0 exists for it. LeEco has yet to release kernel sources for this specific device, and I doubt they ever will.
All of that said, if you're looking for a sole Android gaming device, then the LeEco Pro3 Elite is the phone for you. Especially for people who play a ton of online gacha games like Love Live, FE:Heroes, FGO, etc. The only minus is that the stock ROMs don't pass SafetyNet so you may run into some issues. I know some games only check for root, like FGO, but IDK about others. I play Japanese FGO and I've yet to see any stuttering or frame drops. Battery life is excellent, with 4000mAh to spare. I get 5+ SoT easily on my debloated 20s Banggood ROM.
Definitely way better gaming than what you'd get with the Snapdragon 625 in the Mi A1, even on a crappy Marshmallow ROM. The camera will also be better on the x722 than the Mi A1, since it has an IMX298 and not some random Omnivision sensor. But do note that camera software > camera sensor in many cases. There's no decent software support for the x722's IMX camera on the stock ROM and you have to root for the modded Gcam apk.
Also note that you might end up with an Omnivision sensor on your x722, as it's been reported that LeEco used different sensors for the phone, while still passing it off as an IMX phone... sigh.
Le Pro 3 for sure. Bigger battery, better SoC and UFS 2.0 storage. In terms of software support, the X722 is getting attention and development has picked up recently. For those reasons I ordered the phone a few days ago, don't know about GPS performance. In terms of photo quality, you need to do some research of your own to compare https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/25e2d4ae4
I was thinking of changing my secondary phone, and the Letv Pro3 LeEco Le Pro3 Dual AI got my attention, the phone looks nice with dual camera, 4GB RAM, Helio x27 processor, and affordable price of around $150, my only concern is the updates, the company has challanges now, bankrupted and looks like there will be no more support for the phone, should I go for the phone and forget any future updates ?

Don't go for AI edition, it's in all means worse than normal X720 or X722. Dual camera means nothing and does nothing, all those phones have 4GB of RAM, and you can't even compare Helio X27 to Snapdragon 8xx. I'm 100% sure that you won't ever get any updates. It won't definitelly go from LeEco, and it won't go from the users either. If you'll go with X722, you can get it for 133 euros on Banggood right now, and there's already a fully functioning Android 8.1. AICP made by users. It's a no brainer for me really.

If you're buying a phone in this price category, you don't have that many choices. In the end it'll probably end with Xiaomi vs LeEco. If you want a large battery, go for Redmi Note 4X (with 4GB of RAM), but you have to like MIUI, and I don't. The most recommended phone is Mi A1, because it has that original Android and you just put it out of the box and have a complete phone. If you don't mind playing around with the phone and also have some experience, the Le Pro 3 is the best option out there, bang for the buck is great, and now with community ROMs the ratio is even higher.

I have both Lex722 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (same as Mi A1). If you want battery life go for Mi A1 or Redmi Note4. If you want more performance go for LeEco but everyday use is almost the same. LeEco with custom rom 7.0/8.0 you can also tweak for more battery. Can't go wrong for both of them. Xiaomi make pretty good phone/excellent battery life with stock rom it's fats and fluid Sd625.

RN4 has a 4100mah battery while A1 has a 3080mah battery. So, they are not the same in terms of battery life!

Buy the Le Pro 3 from Amazon. It was $178 the last time I checked. There are many great custom ROMs for this device and the specs are stellar.
Considering I can sell my RN5PRO to atleast 120€, should I go for RN7?
It's only 200€, so there are 80€ difference..
Honestly I have to give my RN5pro away to a family member (since her phone is broken). It's not such a noticable upgrade, sure the bezels are thinner and the camera is better (especially in low light).
Hard decision to make but if you are a camera enthusiast (and you don't want to spend 500€ on a phone like I do) then just go for it! Otherwise (in case you are an average user) I really wouldn't since RN5pro is still amazing and offers a lot of modding support.
Nah, don't do it. Still an amazing phone.
Despite mixed opinions, I still think that if you can control your budget, get the RN7. But take your workload to context, f.i gaming - get the RN7,bit's a great deal, normal task and want to have custom ROM - keep it since supporr for RN7 is limited 'till now, rather than waiting, save up some more for the Mi 8 or others :fingers-crossed:
Doesnt make sense, As SDM660 is nothing but an overclocked CPU / GPU of SDM636.
with this upgrade you will just get a more modern phone and nothing more.
I like technology and smartphones and so the other day I bought the Redmi Note 7 for 161 euros, even though I already had the Redmi Note 5 Pro Whyred.
The Redmi Note 5 is a great phone and with the Pixel Experience it guarantees an excellent user experience, but I never really thought of using it as a daily driver, basically because it has a really poor camera compared to other phones.
Instead, I find the room of the Redmi Note 7 really good and so I'm really excited about this phone and for me it was worth the upgrade!
Redmi Note 5 pro has 636 whereas Note 7 has 660, It's not a major upgrade from redmi not 5 pro to note 7 But SD 660 has better performance and graphics for gaming.

Hello All,
I am upgrading my 6T and trying to get some feedback regarding if the 8 Pro is still a good value a year later and worth buying. I know that there are 2 newer OnePlus phones out there, but just trying to get some feedback. Rooting is important to me and I will typically find a ROM and Kernel I like and stick with it. Obviously, the 9 isn't going to have any support for a while. What about the 8T? Is the 8 Pro a better phone than the 8T?
Thanks, in advance.
If you are not anti-samsung. I think you should go for Galaxy S21+. I'm not very happy with my OnePlus 8 Pro, saving some money to upgrade Samsung. They disabled photochrome, they are not keeping their promises about software updates. Screens has too many issues, screens are made by Samsung I know but Samsung's RMA is much better. My father was has Galaxy Note 8 and he had screen burn-in and they replaced it under a hour. We just took a burger and they replaced all around chassic and screen of phone after we came back to Samsung Center, living in Turkey btw I'm not sure they have this quick repair service everywhere.
And OnePlus 9 is just scam for me they are slapping Hasselblad brand to everywhere but Hasselblad isn't designed their camera they just calibrated colors at software level. OnePlus phones are really solid in many ways but they are trying to sell their devices same price with Samsung's. I think the only disadvantage of Samsung is they are cutting software updates too soon and some people does not like OneUI much. Btw If you have questions about 8Pro I can answer them I'm still using it.

Yes it is but in Samsung root or unlocking bootloader instantly voids your warranty unrecoverable way. Actually after Android 11 hiding root is nearly impossible or you need to do so much work to hide root from banking apps, most of them fails.

I've had my Pro 8 for a year with no display or heat issues! It's still a great device with good XDA members support and development! Cheers
Dont buy samsung phone unless you can get snapdragon variant. Even then you should go for 8Pro just because it's officially supported on lineageos - which is really nice thing to have if you decide to go that path.
Then again, if you have samsung accessories like watch active 2/3 then staying on samsung's ecosystem will bring you some benefits.
Things to note.
If you root the Sammy you will add a 1 to your bootloader counter otherwise known as blowing your efuse chip, you're losing warranty, Samsung will blame anything you have wrong with your phone on this, even if it's completely unrelated, that's a lot of money btw.
With OnePlus it's reversible, Sammy is not.
And let's have it right,, it's a Samsung, there's a lot to dislike, If it's the exynos version, lol you've just bought a turd, it's not even the same phone as the US / south Korean version.
If it were me in your situation i would go with the 9 pro, cameras are superb, the device will make more of the processor / GPU that the Sammy will for sure, dual SIM, probably faster 5G, lighter OS, quicker updates, much better community on XDA, more custom ROMs, better kernels, better screen, faster screen, better audio, better gaming, the list goes on and on.
Keep in mind the S21 and S21+ have display issues as well, but it's software based. Samsung calibrated the displays horribly, where Vivid is WAY oversaturated, and Natural is washed out and dull. The Ultra doesn't have the issue, nor does any model of the S20, outside of the S20 FE.
The FE, S21 and S21+ are STILL waiting for fixes, been this way since release for all of them.
I have a spare S21 I'm debating selling to get an 8 Pro, but I'm really hesitant simply based on size and OP's update/software/general issues.

The vast majority of people who own an 8 pro do not have issues mate.
Software (updates anyway) has been prompt.
Overheating, screen issues etc, every phone has these issues, 99% of people on each phone won't, but that 1% will definitely be vocal and so would I.
Chances are though you won't get a faulty device..

I would never buy a last gen phone when current is available. That being said the jump from 7 to 8 pro was significant, absolutely nothing wrong with the 7 pro at all, but I just feel that the leap to the 9 pro is more of a tweak.
Improvements mostly all around, but development would be lacking compared to the 8 and 8 pro until it gathers speed, knowing the OnePlus community it will pick up. Devs will move on to it.
The choice for me would be obvious but that's me.
CPU and GPU on the 9 are superior, no amount of tweaks will combat that difference.
8 Pro is the best from the 8 series. 8T is 6 months newer than 8 pro, but not as good.
9 is one year newer, so you got 1 year plus at the updates. But if you want the best buy 9 pro. Again the best in series.
NO, absolute NO to Samsung ! The best phone at Bloatware !

I got the 8pro. Great phone. Not a huge fan of the curved display, but that's my only complaint. Love the phone. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I did get a used like new 9 Pro which is awesome so far!
The 8 Pro is still a beast even after a year!

Looks like the 8 Pro isn't for sale anymore in the US on OnePlus.com
