Man, if it wasn't for lack of development on these devices, one of the 2 would be in my pocket now.
That's the thing that's worrying me. The Axon Pro is an awesome phone, and I love having it. The lack of a decent case and the sparse community is making me look toward the G4 or the Moto X now. I'm very torn because this is a cool phone.

I guess since there is no support from ZTE with unlocking the bootloader, rooting, other roms, this Phone is quite dead in XDA.
Well, I still love my Axon Pro regardless.
It's has enough great features, to keep me from buying the Axon 7.
Well yeah I sold my Lux model but the bootloader might be unlocked for the Axon 7 so I would keep an eye on it.
Hi guys ! I am thinking to buy a new android smartphone in price range of 13000 . I am uaing moto g 2 roght now? Can anybody suggest me which device should I buy?

Get something like lenovo zuk or redmi note 3 or similar phone. I wouldn't go for any branded phone in this price range like Samsung or HTC

Zuk z1 is not that good for me and Redmi note 3 doesn't have ROMs like my g2 had! So any other option?and phone must be 4g *
Xiaomi phones have a dedicated forum so their xda presence is limited. Also I started using roms because vanilla was too simple for me. Even the stock miui has some good features. But THE best phone would be an One Plus. May be you can get second hand in this price.
Yeah buts its now become very old I mean its been now 3 years from release of one plus one !
Finally got my Redmi note 4 (Mido) thanks for ur replies!
Lenovo Moto Z Play. Best for battery.
Moto X 2014 Is a great phone overall besides the battery.
Edit: Damn, It's an old post xD
Will it be a wise move to switch from Nokia 7 plus to Poco F1 (8GB+128GB version)??
I am quite confused as I have always been a big fan of Nokia (my first device was Nokia 1100 apart from which I have been Nokia Lumia 1320 for last four years & now 7 plus).
I also used Xiaomi Mi A1 and I like the kind of package Xiaomi offers at a very aggressive price.
I know the build quality of Poco F1 cant match the sturdy build quality of Nokia 7 plus, but it outruns 7 plus at all other aspects like the processor, RAM, clock speed, GPU etc.
I know Poco Fi doesn't have NFC. But I do not need it anyway.
Can someone please tell me if there is actually a quality difference in between Nokia and Xiaomi/OnePlus? Or if the new HMD owned Nokia is as good as Xiaomi or OnePlus (as both Nokia and Xiaomi devices are made by Foxconn)?
I would say no. Poco F1 has no NFC and no Android One.
Their service sucks.

Not only is not an Android One device, but comes with MIUI on top of Android.
Xiaomi had trouble to update to Android 8.1 their Android One phones also, so its mainly software and security updates vs power.
Same story with OnePlus.
More about it here - https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_pocophone_f1-review-1808p6.php
Why would you go from 7 plus to poco f1?
Sure, poco have much better cpu and gpu, but still its not enough not to even consider to upgrade especially when you will not see that much difference.
I would consider poco only if you want to play with the custom roms.

Poco f1 is good for secondary phone, Its cheap.
Thank you, everyone. I eventually cancelled my order after giving it a lot of thought. You guys are right. First, their service centres suck (I know from my personal experience. Though I am not sure about HMD service centres as well). Second, I am not a gamer. I only have one game installed (Football Strike by MiniClip) but I hardly play that one as well. Third, the build and display quality of N7+ is just mind-blowing. Fourth, fast OTA updates. As being an AndroidOne device, we will get monthly security updates from Google and probably Android Pie by the end of September (and I saw the kind of improvement that Android Pie brings).
But here are few things that I don't like about Nokia 7 plus.
1. The resell value of Nokia devices are very less. I checked to see how is the resell value of Nokia 7 plus. And to my surprise, the response was pretty bad. I hardly got anyone who was interested. Even the one or two people who contacted me was not ready to pay more than INR.13,000 which is half of the price I spent on the device (INR.25,999). The worst part is, the device is not even a month old. Surprisingly, I got a very good price on my Xiaomi Mi A1 which I used for 10 months. My inbox was overflooded with buyer's messages. Even the shopkeeper from where I bought my Nokia 7 plus admitted that Nokia devices don't have resell value. If my device value comes down to half within just 1 month, I don't know how much will I get after a year or so.
2. Lack of custom ROMs/Kernels. I don't know why Nokia is still not allowing us to unlock the bootloader. Even though I had to pay for unlocking the bootloader, I still can't do anything with it except for rooting.
3. Lack of back cover and screen guard. I know there are a lot of screen guards and back covers available for Nokia 7 plus, but none of them are of good quality. I really want Spigen to make a back cover for N7+
4. With all due respect to the legacy of Nokia, I still feel Nokia devices are a bit overpriced (especially Nokia 7 plus). I understand the build quality is of top class. But still, I would say they are charging us quite a high price compared to what they are offering. They need to understand, even though the Nokia legacy is still alive, but people now want more VFM products. HMD Global needs to first concentrate on what are offering against the price they are charging. If the ratio is not proportional, people will eventually turn their head away from Nokia because now they have a lot of choices. It's not like 2000 where people used to purchase Nokia devices regardless of what amount they used to charge.
I would recommend to spend a little bit more and get the OnePlus 6. It checked all the boxes according to your needs.
although not have AndroidOne, BUT:
- support ProjectTrebble
- support officialy UNLOCKING bootloader
- officialy statement that unlocking NOT Void warranty
- officialy saying "try custom ROM, try GSI(GenericSystemImage)"
- with already released kernel sources
i too think about switch from N7+ right due to above... although N7+ isnicer and better manufactory, but HMD boycott community
The Poco has DRM issues so you can't watch netflix etc on HD. The so called stereo speakers are bad. You will have issues with call quality due to bad earpiece speaker. You could spend a bit more and get the Oneplus 6 for good hardware and that Oxygen OS <3.
All in all it's your decision.

The cons for this phone start at 11:00.
just wait , we have good dev support for n7+ and it will get bigger through time
I switched from Poco F1 to Nokia 7 Plus, Why?
-Multitouch issue - Poco F1 has a severe multitouch issue that the company is not telling if is a hardware problem or a software bug and the problem seems to be in most of Indian variants.
-Software Updates: Xiaomi is a well known name for not providing good updates and on time and if your phone runs on MIUI then it's total ****.
-Customer support: most laughable aspect of Xiaomi.
Reviewers are probably paid.
I won't buy cheap phones ever, after what Xiaomi did to me, wait for OnePlus instead and always buy phones after few months.
Buy a reliable and expensive product but cheap things like Poco.

Is problem with waiting, if many good developers ignoring/selling Nokia 7 Plus, because not possibly (officialy) unlock bootloader... this is really STUPID step from HMD that stop/slow growing of developers and powerusers community...
Is here two petition about unlocking bootloader:
https://www.change.org/p/hmd-global...to-unlock-the-bootloader-of-our-nokia-handset (actually 2422 sign)
https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000024502 (actually 170 sign/like and 388 comments (+many (~50-100) comments deleted by Moderator)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/petition-possibility-to-unlock-t3788953 (xda thread)
and from MHD is ZERO, repeat... ZERO reaction... only 1 reaction in nokia forum thread is from Laura about "stop vulgarism"
Me lost patience and before some day buy unoficialy signature file for unlocking, but this is not global solution, many people don't want in principle pay for having root/admin account for device which buyed and/or send IMEI/SN of his phone to 3rd people... Only positive is that is really not need have Customs N7+ ROMs, because with Project Treble is here GSI (Generic System Image)...
Now the Axon 9 has finally been released, it looks like it isn't much of a successor to the Axon 7 and is instead attempting to be the same as pretty much all other phones out there.
I refer, of course, to the lack of dual front-facing speakers, and headphone jack. It really doesn't seem to have the same audio focus as the Axon 7.
I suppose we should have seen this coming what with the Axon M nonsense instead of the Axon 8.
I wonder what the options are now for people wanting good front-facing speakers. I notice the Xiaomi Mi MIX INFLUX has them, but they're both on the bottom, which seems odd. I wonder why they couldn't put a pair on the top too (one on each corner), so it would be stereo in both landscape and portrait.
I'm currently using a Pixel 2, which is good enough, I guess...it has the nice crisp treble of front-facing speakers, but the bass is lacking, and there's no headphone jack...(no to mention dual sim [though it has an esim, apparently] and microsd).
Hola
I was eagerly awaiting the final build and spec sheet of this A9 Pro device, and after seeing the few reviews I must agree with your overall assessment. At one time I considered the Axon 7 the very best smartphone you could buy for the price. The ability to run custom ROMs made the purchase all the more better. It boggles the $%&^%* mind how ZTE could change the strengths of the Axon 7 (audio dept) and come up with this piece of garbage. They added a stupid notch, and copied the placement of the cameras on the back, when the Axon 7 had a very pleasing and unique look. Well their loss, maybe the phone will sell well in China and a few select markets, but I can see it won't get the sales that the Axon 7 got globally. Very sad!
I doubt it will sell well at all in China...they have next to no presence in China, oddly. A few years ago, you could find them in the street phone shops, but not in the past year or so.... completely gone.
I figured they'd decided to concentrate on western markets like the USA and Europe... ROFL.
They are calling it a "gaming phone". hmm...two speakers down at one end of the screen aren't really going to immerse you when playing games.
Iinm, one is at the top on the front and the other is on the bottom.

sorry, seems I got it mixed with the Xiaomi Mi MIX INFLUX, although I've seen several of the Axon9 intro videos, and can't clearly pick out a bottom speaker slot, but one at the top.
Looking at the price, it is definitely not a true successor to the Axon 7, and if they listened to user feedback, they would not have put such a big notch on the device with extra space used when not needed.
I was a huge supporter of ZTE and the Axon 7. I was completely convinced Axon 9 would be amazing. but when i saw no US version and no dual stereo speakers, i gave One Plus a shot with the One Plus 6t. they finally got Verizon certification with the 6t, something Zte never did on axon 7.on OP6t, there is a mod to use the earpiece speaker as a second speaker that is awesome. its still not as good as the axon 7 was on stock with Dolby, Dual front speakers and dedicated DAC, but honestly, im glad i didnt keep waiting on ZTE to get their game together. i still use both of my axon 7 for media, but the a2017u was end of the line for me and ZTE.
ZTE Support

Why Do Not Support this device?
The Axon 9 has a 130 degree ultra wide angle lens which is one of the most underrated features in today's smartphones in my opinion. What alternatives are there with such a lense? The only alternative I know is is the Huawei Mate 20 which features a 104 degree lens. Most phones only have a 77 degree lens.
Hello,
I've been using LineageOS on ZTE Axon 7. I've not found a better phone that can run LineageOS and I have to take my phone in for repairs now since it won't charge which is a sad day. Other than the ZTE Axon 10 Pro what's a better phone? A steep price of $599 for a phone lacking features I need. The hardware is great and if we can get LineageOS I will run it right away once I order one. The one thing I can't tell about the Axon 10 Pro is whether it has a RGB LED or not. I won't be ordering one unless I can run LineageOS however. Most phones except Samsung suck in the hardware and that's really sad leaving out one feature or another.
Android makes it very painful to move from one device to another with everything the way you have it. It takes a long time even with Titanium Backup to move over from one device to another.
Too bad there isn't more support for LineageOS on more devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 or 10+, maybe everyone here at XDA should just band together and build a phone for us all.
If we can get official LineageOS I will get the Axon 10 Pro for testing but since I don't have a lot of money to spend on multiple phones per year I can't justify it unless it's going to be a real thing and not just partially working.
@Unjustified Dev you rock for the Axon 7 work. I'm not a programmer but I would be happy to test builds if it becomes a reality.
