hi
well budget is the limit this seems to be the only android phone which is in my budget thanks for ur kind reply

Tattoo is fine but...
Hey There,
This depends on whether you really need XDA support or not, I know we all here do to tweak our phones and get the most out of it!!
But if you are the types who does not play around much with the phone and wants an Android phone on a budged, I would recommend the Spica (has 3G but no GPS) and a larger screen, and is also way cheaper than the Tattoo.
Regards

just wanted to know if the tatoo is as good as my existing jade ie is it a good phone and yes i would prefer HTC

Way cheaper than the Tattoo? It depends on where you are. My son paid <£110 for a Tattoo off eBay.
The Samsung is only cheaper if you pay full price.

Might want to rethink that. I forgot to put in my post that apps are almost non existent for it, and iOS and Android notifications are really limited.

[Q] Will you buy it?

This seems to have the best specifications of Samsung and HTC combined, additionally offering dual sim. For that price i can live just fine with a non-changable battery.

Seems like a very nice device. If it will be available in europe, and there's good support for custom roms here on xda, then it would be an alternative to Oneplus 3 for me.

I'm definitely getting this phone when it comes out. Can't wait to get rid of my G5. The thermal mitigation screen dim is killing me!

If it had a Infrared blaster, I really would have.

missing infra but sure a HTC 10 killer in audio . in india iam waiting for it

Specs r great but I can't get over the black bars on the top and bottom of the screen

Definitely getting one, good specs, and good looks. did anyone see the gray version?

Interested in the non carrier unlocked phone. How is zte with updates on their previous axon phones? That's my main concern.

I´ll hope that there will be some custom roms. On other ZTE threads here on XDA there´s barely community support. The specs are really nice and I have to decide between OP3 or Axon7

that's what i am hoping too. it will be powered by snapdragon cpu which should make custom rom cooking easier than mediatek right?

Of course! But I never had a ZTE device. I know nothing of unlocking bootloader or rooting process on those devices.
But the specs! I hope we´ll have some nice devs thinking twice of this beast

Well let us surprise. I´m interested by the premium version with force touch and hope that the special drivers / blobs are open source

I think allan1229 talks about the black bars between the speakers and the screen.
The black bars are a little annoying, that's true.

Updates are important, espacially if there is barely Custom Rom support. I'm afraid of latter, on the other hand the Snapdragon SoC makes it easier. Maybe this will be my first try to port a Custom Rom.
I'm sure it will be possible to unlock the bootloader, even though that's just my feeling.

In my opinion force touch is absolutely useless. At the moment we have 3 options, single tap, double tap and long click, and if you want even more, triple tap, etc. Why would you need force touch? That's just a desperate attempt for innovation.
At the moment the ZTE Axon 7 is higher ranked for me that the OnePlus 3, especially because of the front facing speakers! If you had front facing speakers before, you want nothing else.

That´s my thoughts too. I give a f*** for manufactured updates if there´s any way to flash custom roms or develop an own one.

Well in this point I disagree with you. Force touch could and should be a kind of new interaction. It´s a question of implementation. You´re totally right for the existing "gestures" but I think in combination of this we´ve got new possibilities. There´s a lot of potential. But pls note - I don´t see the the advantage only on my side - I´m working with handicapped youngsters - and by some clients the force touch engine might be a positive progress
Front facing speakers... Meh.... I never used it BUT! The audio-chips are totally great!!! I´m a little bit audiophil. And I think the upgrade from my OP1 should be working "nice" for my headphones - specifically for my B&W P5 wireless

It's OK, that's totally subjective. I don't want to discourage anyone from getting force touch.
I don't know anything about how this could help handicapped people. But I still think there's no potential.

I guess you never had front facing speakers before, but trust me, you don't want to live without them anymore. (Yeah, I know, that's also subjective)

Nope, I never find a reason to use front spacing speakers For exactly what? I´m some decades away to "publish" my musical preferences official over a smartphone.
Music is my intimacy
But this is really OT - get back to topic
Axon7! Will you buy it? I think so

It's funny, you want force touch and I want front facing speakers. So with the Axon 7 it's a win-win!
You're right, back to topic. I'm pretty sure I'll buy it. The only tiny flaw for me is the protruding camera lens. Unfortunately that's standard nowadays. But apart from this it's almost perfect in my opinion.

This or...

Hey guys, this phone seems really appealing but I'm struggling to find reliable reviews of it. Currently undecided between this and that Oneplus 5... Anyone in a similar situation or have an opinion to share?

Well - in terms of specs this phone is really appealing, but don't know if they are gonna release a global version of the device.

I am in the same situation
regarding the love that the rom creators will bring in, i think that the oneplus will be the better choice, but i like the nubia and it's specs.
Plus, the price is unbeatable.

Haha yeah, I don't think there'll be much ROM support for the Nubia Z17, but already a few weeks or so after release they've pushed out a new OTA update, as well as updates for other phones. Hopefully they'll be well supported with Android O :/
I live in the UK so will have to import this model anyway, and found a great deal on:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/ZTE-Nubia-Z17-5-5-Inch-6GB-64GB-Smartphone---Black-380167.html
I used the Honey extension on Chrome and that saved me £20! It doesn't tell me what the code is unfortunately, so can't post it here for any that are interested.
I checked the bands/frequencies and it covers the UK ones I require, and it's a 'worldwide' model. It just seems a bit strange to me that even on the Nubia/ZTE site it's not on there. But I'm gonna go for it...

Plus those edge control gestures seem to actually be loads better than the Samsung and HTC U11 ones... Correct me if I'm wrong though!

How much did you end up paying?

£350 (not £20 in the end, just £10)

I have one and it's beautiful. Build and feel of the device is amazing. Problem is there is no Google Play/Framework support yet and no root or TWRP. So I'm pretty much waiting. I hear some suppliers are shipping them with global ROM's with Google support.
If anyone can link me to a Global ROM it would be greatly appreciated. Can't wait to fully utilize this beast!

So how is the camera quality?

I've also seen comparisons between this, Xiaomi Mi6 and Huawei P10 cameras where this seems to outperform them

Haven't done any comprehensive testing with it yet. But from my short time with it, it's really nice and has some cool features. I always enjoy Nubia's camera software suite.

Not that I have seen. I check out the Nubia forums daily to see if there's any development

正在使用z17，唯一困扰我的就是目前不能解锁bl和root，我期待能够使用原生的android rom，nubia ui真的不好用

Is using z17, the only trouble I am now can not unlock bl and root, I look forward to be able to use the original android rom, nubia ui really hard to use

Does anyone think it's weird that there aren't many reviews and basically no xda forum on the Z17? Is it just because it's mainly confined to China for now (despite there being a global version available to buy/import online)? Kinda starting to question my purchase now XD

It's still a very new phone. Forum pages on here take a while to spin up for rare Chinese phones. Things will slowly begin to develop and trickle in.

Thank you for your translation

This phone goes toe to toe with OP5 but better priced. If kernel sources are made available then we'll see development for sure.

it's worth buy a huawei p8 lite (2015)?

I don't know if it's worth or not for €50.
I have an lg g2 mini at the moment.
Ps. Sorry for my bad english

sorry i saw it but wanted say that are more for other smartphone models anyway thank you :3

No. The device is too outdated and its s**t design makes you hate this phone even more + can bend very quickly. I'd suggest you to save more money to buy a better phone and not a 3 year old one!

...

Have weak points, but is good smartphone. For normal use very good, looks fine and works fine.

Hi, I think my P8lite was a great buy, I have had it for just 3 weeks, got it second hand for $85 (NZD) in good condition. At first I was thinking it was not a good upgrade from my old phone (vodafone smart prime 6 VF895) but the more i use it im liking it more.
Battery life is the only thing I could think to improve, its not terrible just not the best
