Yo guys.I want to ask you how's the device .Tell me the pros and cons.
I am planning to change my HOX and start developing for 4X.
Thanks!
Yo oblikas,
I'm Really Freakin happy with my device a pro is the Quad core ofcourse Cons are many tweaks needed as for gaming.

So the gaming is bad huh?
pros:
battery life
tegra chip
ram(1gb but at s3, it's 700mb!)
hd ips screen
cons:
get warm when using 4 cpus
slow charging time
it's big for me, standard is iphone5 size

Very Happy Now we have unlocked BL
I came from HOX as well
There isn't a lot of difference really, screen is a bit better on LG and I like the design more. Feels like a premium quality phone to hold.
We Need More Devs though!!!
Gaming will be just like HOX, depends on the kernel and also optimisation of the game ie crappy Gameloft coding
In general, yes but I would like to see much better battery life - especially sleep. My GTab 7.7 can idle for up to 20 days but this phone can only idle for 2 days. Sure, different battery size and all that but it still should hit 4-5 days of pure idle.
I'd also like to see less heat and another thing that can't be helped is that the screen (when tapping stuff) doesn't feel as solid. I feels a bit hollow when you touch the screen when typing but it is accurate and quick so it's not a bug deal.

Battery 40 C ,, Normal 25 C .
CPU 65 C ,, Normal 40 C . Especailly when it arrives 1500MHz (in single core only) .
Rebooting heats up phone very quickly higher than anything else .
About gaming , yes it lags in many games .

not so happy
Hi, 3 days ago I bought my Optimus 4x and I'm kinda sad for a few questions.
I'm using the latest version of the Rom (original jelly bean) and I saw that the unit gets hot and the battery is not have a good performance. I tested the battery with Antutu battery tester and came to drop 1% every minute.
I really want to find a solution to my problem. I'm thinking of selling my phone and buy a Galaxy S3.
Sorry for my bad english.

I am absolutely happy with this phone .. It has many advantages more than disadvantages .. Thanks LG for this great phone
LG 4x HD its Amazing
Hi all, i'm happy with this phone, i had a SIII but verizon version... no luck with GSM Networks (3g) in Mexico... now i have 4ox with bootloader unlock and CM 10.1 4.2.2 then its amazing... very fast.. still needs development but i think that's come alone in a few months.... gaming no bad and 3g its great...
for me not really , because of battery drain 1% 1 hour in idle, \
i have try to delete all unused app and disable fastdormancy and disable auto configure mms setting event
what i see is the stock developer is bad
talking about stock rom ..
as far as i changing many region rom, the best is open Europe the gsm and data signal are more stable then asia rom
but all stock rom are drain battery 1% in 1 hour in idle mode,
anyone have same problem ?

..I had my 4x run 11 days on mostly idle to get to the yellow line once. That's with contact to the mobile network. When the battery on the 4x is less than half the size of that in the tab7. 5100mAh vs. 2100mAh or so.
But yeah, you're right. LG just hasn't optimized the device all that well. And on a stock setup, with the standard apps (that will keep preventing the phone from dropping to idle speeds), you'll be lucky to get over 2 days on standby.
Pros:
- Very clear, sharp and big 720p IPS screen
- Battery (at least for me)
- Shape (it fits in hand really nice)
- SD card slot (up to 64gb) unlike HOX for example
- 1 GB ram
- Tegra 3 quad processor (plays 1080p HD videos without problems, great for multitasking, nice performance also in games with some tweaks etc.)
- Solid 8MP camera and 1080p recording
- Unlockable Bootloader + CM support and also other devs are starting to work on our phone now :victory:
- Nice price/performance ratio IMHO (I bought mine for 250€ which I think is kind of cheap for a phone with such specs)
- Removable battery
Cons:
- Heating (Tegra 3 is based on 40 nm technology)
- Needs some tweaking for gaming (mostly for more high end games)
- A bit long charging time
So with 1 word, YES I am a happy and proud owner of this phone.
Hi, just read some info regarding brand new, gamers oriented Honor Play, which packs same CPU and GPU than P20 Pro, with little bigger display and less battery capacity.
However, I'm troubled to think this is only advertising, regarding the turbo GPU thing and the supposed 7.1 sound capabilities, called "4D gaming", otherwise our phone should have the same features.
What do you think? Are they trying to sell their new toy, or in fact those things are already available or may be in the future through updates or modding in our phones ?
Also, suggestions about reposting to another topic will be appreciated. Thanks in advance
Big hug for y'all
P20 Pro will also get GPU Turbo. And it is not the same spec, smaller battery, no IP67, no good camera's and etc...

But GPU turbo sounds like a hardware feature, common sense tells that if this is the selling point of the Play, wouldn't be wise to make it available for other phones, that's why I'm asking in the modding forum.
Regarding the specs, I said smaller battery and bigger screen, camera is obvious

Coming from the OnePlus 5 and being a gamer myself I've tried a lot of emulators, Tekken 6 on the PSP works perfectly, half life 2 should work, gsmecube games, the p20 doesn't really need anything more tbh.
But if theres overclocking needed then I'd say a kernel app would be the best way and a custom kernel if needed.
This phone only costs around $330 on aliexpress. Incredible value. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HUA...81dc-411a-901e-fcbb7453f03d&priceBeautifyAB=0
Where the hell did you find the same specs in those two very different phones.??? A totaly useless topic.

I agree.
Same CPU does not mean same specs.
i bought one, and i regret the decision mainly because of the camera. Buy the V10 instead of this gimmick phone.

Does god of war run at 60fps in ppsspp? How about ps2 games? Is it better than oneplus 5 at emulators? And have you tried wii games? How do they run?

PS2? No mate, ps2 is a long way off being playable.
Psp runs great for the most part. The game fluctuates between 40-60 usually around 45fps
But then again the OnePlus 5 never played it at a solid 60.
In fact neither did the psp, it had many drops in frames.
Playable? Absolutely, not my type of game but definitely playable..everything else has been spot on, for the most part they run at the framerate they should.
Perhaps if the GPU boost can be utilized for emulators it'll improve even more.
It's been superb for what I've used it for (the P20 Pro)

No worries mate.
Ok, I have noticed through a lot of reviews that the snapdragon 660 doesnt perform really well in Mi A2. While other 660 phones score ~5800 points in geekbench multi-core test, Mi A2 only scores ~4600 points. Even RN5 with 636 scores ~4900 points. Of course this isn't the only benchmark where Mi A2 falls behind competitors with snapdragon 660s.
Currently I cant choose whether I should buy RN5 or Mi A2 (35euros more expensive). A2 has better camera and slightly better screen and usb C but much worse battery life and of course its more expensive.
Has anyone looked into this as why the 660 in A2 is underperforming like this?
Maybe some forum members could run the benchmark and post their results?
Don't know why, but I see that it underperforms even compared to MIUI (6X) version of the same hardware.
Comparison here:
yes, I also have a low benchmark performance, 4700 maximum in multicore

Hmm, it seems like the 6x took ~30s to render the video but A2 took around ~36s.
Also I took at look at this https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaomi-Mi-6X-Mi-A2-Smartphone-Review.315456.0.html The Mi 6X seems to be getting the same numbers as nokia 7 plus as it should be. Did Xiaomi **** up A2 or something?
I think that kernel sources should be looked at and check what's different and then recompile the kernel with 6X changes to see if that was the problem. I don't have time to do that now, but I have taken a quick look and I've seen some strange things regarding charging voltages (nothing alarming) as well as some accumulated bloat folders within the kernel simply due to the fact that A2 had a newer base for the fork. This all should be looked at. If no one does it by December/January, I'll give it a go then when a couple of personal things clear up.
There is specially something weird with the read/write speed on the Mia2 which I didn't heard from the mi6x (seems software related) this makes the Mia2 very slow as soon as it has to R/W lots of files. That would be a great explanation why some data heavy games takes ages on our devices

Mi A2 has storage encryption enabled out of the box. Does anyone know if that is enabled by default on the 6X? If not, that would explain such a large difference in R/W speeds and even in performance to some extent...

Encryption didn't even have a performance impact on the Nexus 5x so I doubt any modern devices notice this

Well not in real life, but you surely will in synthetic benchmarks.
But I have to agree with you because I've run even my Nexus 5 the same way and was quite fine with the performance I got out of it.

Hello guys,
I've considered buying MiA2 this month for my daily driver. Previously I used Pocophone f1 and sold it immediately after 1 month usage because I'm so tired of that stupid touch issues. And I also already used Redmi Note 5 (whyred) before, I bought it in first week release. And I'm not really satisfied with the performance (it's underclocked version of 660) that's why I upgraded to poco.
Currently I'm using my old s7 edge, and it's really not optimized for pubg mobile.
The MiA2 battery life won't bother me, even tho it has 3000mah. I always use greenify and it also has qc3.0 so that won't be problem.
I play pubg in my free time, so tell me about the gameplay performance (if you use gfxtool or such thing for 60fps) because I've seen everywhere that SD660 and adreno 512 is capable and optimized for this game.
The only thing I scared is the touch issues, I want to know about the touch responsiveness and touch latency on this phone. Is it good? Normal? Or there is problem and it's kind of laggy and not responsive to swipe, scroll or typing fast?
It's really annoying issue on poco, you can't type fast, you can't swipe or scroll freely without lags, and you can't play games because of the unresponsive crazy touch. I hope there is no such thing on MiA2
fyi, I also root my phone. So root or twrp to fix some problems is okay for me as long there is a fix for the problem.
I want to know your opinion, thanks
In my opinion don'y buy this phone for PUBG, it doesn't even run stable 60fps and idk if it's the same problem you mentioned with the Poco, but I'm having touch and responsiveness issues myself. Get something with a SD8xx.

I use gfx tool and get a stable 60 fps on balanced graphics. The performance of this phone is pretty solid and can play any games at almost max settings. There's no problem in touch responsiveness and the stock OS feels great. I'd have gotten the poco f1 if I simply needed pure gaming performance. The difference between normal day to day usage experience of Mi A2 and poco f1 is negligible. Typing, scrolling and basic touch functions are great. I'd recommend this phone to you if you can overlook a few bugs like the proximity sensor.

I never had any touch and responsiveness issues whatsoever. Might be a software bug. Try a factory reset and see if it fixed it.

I am using stock pie and the proximity bug is kind of a hit or miss situation. It works most of the time, but when it doesn't it's really annoying. The placement of the sensor is a little odd and I don't think it is simply a software issue. Although in pie, it's much more better than Oreo.

I personally never had any major issues with this phone, i'm really enjoying a great cheap phone. The closest competitor in Brazil, hardware wise, is roughly double the price, which is the Moto Z3 Play running the SD636. I Had the CPU Maxed out bug but Xiaomi solved it on the 2nd October Update. Since then the device is running great, but heavy gaming isn't good. Regular games like Clash of Clans, Temple Run 2, Clash Royale, etc will run absolutely fine, but heavier titles like PUBG will struggle. It's definitely playable, but not the smoothest experience. For that you should look into the OnePlus 6/6T or anything else running an SD835 or SD845.
Even though it's a 3000mAh battery, It performs admirably, and people are saying it get's even better on Pie, which I didn't receive yet.
did you try the lineage build on the poco? same touch issues?

Same, whatever custom rom based on oreo and pie including Lineage. Nothing's changed, and it's only get worse on MIUI beta where they said they fix it in that firmware update. Some said on Lineage 16 it's better but not fixed, the problem still there.
And I sold it immediately, xiaomi and poco team seems like they don't even care about that problem.
Well I just hope that this MiA2/6x got the fix for the issue. I hate notches, this is one of the few 660 without notch.
Anyone using Mi6x? Is it good as the A2 besides the Android One and MIUI?

I never had any issues with PUBG. It automatically detected and set to medium texture and I even played in HD and it worked flawlessly. I never had a single lag or freeze. The performance is solid. Go for it.
My opinion is that the phone is overall great. Not the best value for the money and I'm certainly not happy with the state of custom development or lack thereof. But a SD660 should be good for gaming (which I don't care about), the phone is snappy in day to day usage and the battery is decent. Cameras are also pretty good.
The thing is that it's just not what I wanted or thought it was going to be like and if I could choose again, I'd probably choose the Note 5 Plus (SD636) or the A2 Lite at the time that I've bought it, and definitely the F1 had I waited 2-3 months more.
Never the less, I'll keep on using it because there is simply nothing wrong with the phone, it's just not the best value.
@ferdieses
I've had the Mi A2 since launch (the 6GB/128GB variant) and, because I never had high expectations (e.g., flagship performance/features), I'm generally happy with it.
The first few months were hit and miss with stability issues (CPU frequency/eMMC slowness/battery life) but the Mi A2 is at a point where it works well enough to recommend. Everything about it is far above average but not quite excellent (e.g., 7.5/10).
The only caveat is cellular connectivity. In Canada, it works okay. In the US, it's hit or miss but in Asia, its intended territory, it excels.

I live in Asia so cellular connectivity won't be problem. It's a good phone but not the best. From what I see most Xiaomi devices suffers from issues on the first few months, it's usual thing for Xiaomi and that's kinda sucks.
Nexus S -> galaxy S2-> Nexus 4 -> LG G2->oneplus one, and now Mi A2 128GB 6GB ram.
What can i say...
Nexus S 350 euros (second hand)
Galaxy s2 360 euros (new)
Nexus 4 almost 500 euros (second hand)
Lg g2 190 euros (second hand)
Oneplus one 64GB (second hand) 230 euros
Mi A2 128GB 6GB ram 230 euros (new)
So the OPO was with me from beginning of 2015 up to a week ago. Went from COS, to CM, to Lineage OS, had to change firmware files for modem and such, data would stop working, random reboots when using waze, etc. Loved the opo, and if it wasnt these issues, mainly the lack of battery life and the rabdom reboots, i would have stayed with it one more year.
Back to now, Mi A2, is a Nexus, or a pixel for the "poors", we will have the updates thats sure, and sure it wont take 6 months like skinned android. So thats great. And one of the things im most looking for.
SD660, is great, but the gpu... It's nothing special. Expect medium settings.
Ram? More than enough. Now where it may lose most of it speed is in the emmc department, emmc 5.1 is fast! But nothing like UFS wich is basically equivalent to a good sata ssd.
I dont regret my purchase, its way faster than the opo althought it also had emmc 5.1, the screen looks great, camera had me impressed, battery life ? (65GB of apps and games?). Better than this, there is the F1 but... Plastic? Iphony android? Almost 100 euros more for half the storage (which is ufs on the F1), infrared for faceunlock (could not care less for that),a "better'" camera and SoC.
If gaming is your main point, go F1! Or since you had a bad experience, go 6T?
If gaming is secondary like for me it is... Got a 1070 Ti at home, no need to game on the phone ? for me, my phone is listen to music, mail, messages, take random pics and browse the web.
And you prefer updates, build quality, and saving some money to buy cases, a powerbank, a QC 3.0 charger,... Go Mi A2 ?

One more thing i need to had... I like modding my phone and such, but i got into a time of my life that ain't nobody got time for that ?
So i apreciate updates and right off the bat clean android.
This GPU definitely isn't optimized for vulkan at all, any one having issues trying to game at all? Even cod mobile stutters on low settings, and unplayable using 5G
Never played this game but it sure looks okay to me.
Sounds like user error...CoD is pretty popular don't you think millions would report if they can't play it?

Yeah that's quite true, must just be my device, I'll try a reset maybe because I installed 3 updates one after another once I got it, maybe that's an issue
Nope just looked into in in depth, the Mali G710 is more focused on battery saving than stepping up the game, so inferior GPU, yes, yes it is inferior, look up specs and what it does before use comment your expertise, p7 is clearly a downgrade, Google can clearly add call screen and faster camera to p6p but do not, and the VPN could be added to p6 or p6p but is not, Google kinda screwed us tbh, p7 is mainly just better modem that's all, FA else
Just run any test, any test at all, you'll see the p6p greatly out performs p7 and also more battery drain, so how do you work this out, what use going to comment now? tech experts lol, clear as day p7 got **** on besides software upgrades that's all
Basically Google are suppressing the pixel 6 and 6 pro on what they are ment to do just to make the p7 and p7p look better
And the mali g710 is over a year old! There's a newer G715, out early this year

There's barely millions own the p7 or pro and even if a million people owned this phone only about 1000 of that million would game
I posted videos showing the performance has been found to be perfectly fine. Raw numbers don't mean jack crap. It runs games fine until you hike the settings and make it not fine. It's not a flagship and was never intended to be a flagship but the graphics performance between the two is not as large of a gap as you're making it out to be.
