i really like this phone, i am a fan of bug battery phones, i own a lenovo p2 and i can't see a real replacement to buy, i don't want to buy a 4000mah phone but at least 5 or 6000k mah and THIS ROG phone seems to be the best flashship ever created, not only for the rest of the spects but primarily for the BIGGEST EVER battery in a top end phone.
i know this phone is pricey and the community strenght of the previous rog phone is 0% ... no roms no kernels... but i really hope that this one will have a good community here..... because i am sick to see top phones of only 4000mah

2k screen, wireless charging, better cameras
Unfortunately it's more than hardware that determines this. Hopefully they communicate with the buyers more and update the OS quickly and frequently. If Asus is smart they'll send developer phones and work with the mod community like they're doing for the Zenfone 6. Unfortunately while there are plenty of examples of what to do to get loyal customers and brand evangelists most refuse to do the usually simple things required to achieve this.

China version 8+128GB, 500USD. Not pricey.
500USD? That’s gotta be because of the Tencent (owner of PUBG) partnership. No doubt in my mind that phone comes with some Tencent bloatware.
International version will definitely be more expensive though, especially if the bloatware’s not on it.
I heard they are also working on a stock android version reminds me of the Google Play Edition phones.

Some hardware reduce (China have 2 phone version 8GB/128GB vs 12GB/512GB )
Wireless mimo NO
HDR chip to convert SDR NO ------ ASUS website deleted when selling
Cooling fan NO
30W power supplier NO (Phone still support i think)
Rumor: Different screen vendor ------ Wrong

I don’t think the Tencent version will have the option for the Stock Android UI. Believe it’s only a Worldwide/US feature.
It comes out in a little more than a month for us.

No wireless charging. And it won’t have expandable memory on its own, but it the gaming accessories that you can get with it come with SD slots.
But I’ve never used more than 50GB on a phone and this thing packs 512GB out the box

Does stock camera has night mode ?
Hello I'm still on my G6 and planning to upgrade soon. (OLED and camera improvements, hopefully battery)
I'm now having my eye on the Huawei P30 and LG V40, can't decide. Size doesn't really matter, does someone have experience with both phones? I like to keep the 3,5mm, however I'm using a Bluetooth a lot last few months.
They both are around 350 euro's now, recommendations?
Yes, but 350€ is too much imho, you can almost get 2019 phones for that money. Battery life isn't stellar but better than reviews suggest.

What phones would you suggest? The galaxy S10 is still around 500, I love OnePlus for the tweakability but no extendable storage and 3.5 mm. And the pro edition is huge (6,7 inch)

v40 is a good phone and with Android 10 out for it (att ) the ATT phone is best for the Euro Market, just make sure its unlocked. You can then keep it stock and get the update to android 10 if its not already, or just flash it over to the unlocked firmware when it comes out.
350 euro is about double what you should be paying for it.
Teh battery life is good but not the best out there, i still mage on average a full day wuth 4.5 hours at 70% brightness, no gaming, just browsing and youtube.

Thanks! But ATT is for the US market right? I'm from the Netherlands, so I don't think the risk and shipping cost will make it worth it to import. The 350 euro version is with 128 GB in built storage, but on my G6 I also still get around 4-5 hours SOT?

Just the EU model. Its much easier to unlock as it has official bootloader unlocking
You could also have a look at the Mi9T pro for 350 euros or so.
DON'T buy the US model if you're not planning to use it in US, unless its the last choice or is much cheaper
@tech_infinity Unfortunately the Mi9T Pro EU version goes till 128 GB storage. I need more, so the 256 GB one but that one isn't sold in Europe unfortunately ?

How much does the Samsung s10 or note 9 cost there?

S10 is €570, note 9 is €600
But then I don't gain on audio right? Only camera maybe a little bit. For 250 euros more I think the V40 camera with gcam would be good enough. Or then the Huawei P30?
In the US the phones are way less expensive I think, better deals. Western Europe is just expensive phones
I just sold my Galaxy Note 10 (which I bought after V30) and now using V40. Very pleased overall.
Cameras on newest Samsung flagships are just TRAGIC given the money You spend on them and wouldn't recommend buying any of them.

To be honest, not much. I just always felt bad with how inconsistent that camera was. In good light conditions it could produce a beauty of a picture just to screw things up in another. Lowlight photos were better than on V40, but required a LOT of steady hand - so you can achieve the same effect on LG using pro mode and setting the time of capturing for few seconds. Also I felt that it was always trying to process a photo to make it look better, which sometimes gave just bad results - oversaturated (especially on front camera) and with strange artefacts. You could say the main disappointment came from the fact how much money I've spent on Samsung and results of its camera. The battery was ok, but given the screen is only 1080p that was expected.
Keep in mind that bigger Note10+ has TOF sensor and possibly could manage photos better. But given how there are many problems with S20 cameras (especially on the Ultra model) it could just be that Samsung cameras are going downhill.

And how is battery performance for you on the V40? (SOT?)
I'll try to test it for You because I have a rather strict policy in keeping the battery charged more than 50% so cannot really say SOT specifics. But it is about the same as it was on Samsung and V30.
Ok so, after that post I unplugged charger at 94%, now at 10%. SOT 4h17min, 8h46min total usage. Facebook, Twitter, 9gag, camera (few photos and videos), some web browsing (chrome). Wifi, BT, GPS, data on all the time.
So I'd say it should reach about 5h SOT of moderate use from 100 to 0.

Okay thanks! That's about the same as on my G6 (still on fulmics android 7). Nowadays with Corona I'm on my phone much more and I have to recharge in the evening. Maybe Huawei P30, but I can't read anywhere about the audio quality through 3.5 mm jack, and whether it is tweakable.
I'm considering the V40 got the audio and price, but battery is a bit disappointing
TBH I was heavily thinking about P30, but lack of wireless charging made it a no-go for me. Also, those expensive nanoSD cards.

I don't care much for wireless charging, what I'm more worried about is sound quality. I listen to music a lot, but I don't know if the audio quality (3.5mm) is anywhere near the quad DAC from LG..
And yeah, but maybe those cards are cheaper via AliExpress

Yeah I just received it today as well!
Where I live they are offering a free Galaxy Buds Pro for anyone who pre-orders the S21 Ultra during this week. I am still waiting for comprehensive reviews and comparisons between the SD 888 and Exynos 2100.
Is the Galaxy Buds Pro worth it and risking with pre-ordering right now?
Depending on where you're based, you have a return window. The pre-order deal & trade in value was really good so I've traded in my S10+.
In the UK it's 28 days, and you can let them know on the 28th day that you intend to return, doesn't have to be in their hand by that point. Just don't send your trade-in until you're sure you don't want to return the ultra. obviously you have to return the buds as well.
Whilst reviews are a good indication, its always best to use the phone and see how you feel, from what I've seen so far, there is still a gap but it's much smaller than last year. There aren't many great phones available that aren't Chinese branded ( OnePlus ) which I'm trying to avoid for ethical reasons, so my choices are limited, fingers crossed the exynos delivers!
Here it is difficult to return, I might be able to do so but not easy.
I currently have a OnePlus 6, so even if the Exynos is slower than the SD 888, it is still better than the current SD845, but I want to be sure the Exynos is good, last year it was a terrible choice with overheating and worst battery.
Seems delivery times are starting to lengthen, Sunday now in the UK so hurry up!

I am not in a hurry to get the smartphone itself, I can wait, but if the Galaxy Buds Pro are worth it and I can get them for free if I preorder now then I will preorder.
Where are you based? Double check the Samsung website and see what they say, but obviously only go ahead if you're comfortable. You can get comparable if not better earbuds for less than the RRP of the pros so don't risk it if you aren't comfortable! You'd be able to buy say the one plus 9 pro and headphones of your choice for less than the ultra price
Fyi I've seen a pc mark battery test that claimed around 12 hours for the sd888 and 10.25 for the Exynos, but no idea how legit it was (was in Chinese).

So in all fairness, I did go back and look at the speed test video he did between the two and noticed a few things
Looks like different people kicking off the tests (based on the table they are on and skin colour).
SD is in aeroplane mode and Exynos is connected to cellular but no wifi/mobile data.
Resolutions are very slightly different, but both look like they are in FHD, but the SD has a slightly lower resolution as the navigation bar is different and makes the screen slightly smaller. QHD makes a minimal difference to battery life unless you're doing something GPU intensive.
In all fairness, I've seen mixed reviews of both chips, but no idea how people are setting up their phones (always do a clean install!!!). Have to wait and see how it performs when the phone arrives.
Good news for people looking to buy some international version, the device is finally available in Hong Kong! (Where I live)
First impression of the device is obviously good(We all read the reviews). A few remarks:
Coming from an S9+ I really feel the device is heavy. To the point that holding it for a while feels a pain. Holding a minute or two it feels like kind of "Premium weight" but installing all my stuff on it and handling if for an hour or so I really feel it's too heavy. I was expecting it to be ok, but really it's a bad surprise to the point I have some regrets.
I was hoping that since it's in HK (China) we'd get the latest update with the "DXO Firmware" but it's not available yet. Not a big issue it will obviously become available at some point
I understand the finger print sensor has been praised for being one of the fastest in the industry. I am really left unimpressed comparing with my S9+ or Pixel 3a. Not only does the finger sensor in the back feels more natural, they are also both faster (But personally I don't care)
The phone will need a better case than the one provided in the box if it is to survive a drop from your pocket (Luckily there seems to be lots of cool choice on Aliexpress
Not sure about elsewhere, but the HK version is dual sim (Standard for all flagships here). Quite convenient for frequent travelers (Well once Covid goes away....)
Coming from Samsung One UI and Google's clean android implementation I don't really like MIUI for now (No big deal)
I find the DPI a bit large for my taste, but it's easy to adjust through developers options (It's set at 411 and I find so far 500 to be nicer)
Obviously all the good stuff like the screen quality, camera, etc.... are a real enjoyment

Well... I am sporty and exercise a lot... The things not about being capable of, it's more that the feeling is unpleasant. This is an expensive phone and if the experience of holding the phone for a while is not pleasant compared with competing phones then Xiaomi has a problem...
In the end the extra weight is coming from the ceramic back and Xiaomi should probably have offered several options

The price in HKD is 8,500 (Roughly 1,100 USD)
The latest firmware from the Chinese ROM is 12.5.4 (While this one is on 12.0.1). DXO gave an amazing mark to the Xiaomi camera and seemingly was using this firmware in its tests (It literally blows way the S21 Ultra and scores slightly ahead of the Huawei Mate 40).
If you look at other reviews, DXO ranking has been challenged, many reviewers saying they see too much inconsistency in the colors they get from the Xiaomi plus a few other issue including some focus issues and video jitter. It seems this is related to a difference in firmware and this latest firmware makes a very big difference.
It's just a matter of time before it reaches the international version, but it's a little bit frustrating to buy this phone with mostly photography in mind and having to wait before it lives to its potential.
Makes me feel I might have fared better going with the Chinese version of the phone (Which on top of it offers more memory and storage space). Living in HK make sit easier and I didn't do my research properly... (Except in the camera department). That being said an unlocked bootloader does create issues with some banking apps and some professional apps as far as I remember, so maybe no regret to have...

I bought it at Xiaomi shop (In Causeway Bay). You can also find it in Fortress and other big electronic shops in Hong Kong.
Expansys Hong Kong seem to be selling the global version online (But they are charging quite a premium...). They also have the Chinese one. I ma sure many shops offer the phone online here since it's widely available.
Not sure where you live but if it's in the EU, you should wait, it's going to be available pretty soon.
I am from South America country Peru A supplier from china is going to give me the phone as a gift ,The problem is that in my country they ask for certain requirements for cell phones to enter,Only some model codes must be approved, the model accepted for me 11 ultra is M2102K1G ,Can you please check the box and verify the model number?

Greetings,
I've been browsing the sub for a bit and watched a few reviews about the phone because I have a pretty great deal for one and might consider buying it. I tried it out for a few minutes in a store the other day and it feels and looks great.
There seems to be a lot of negative talk, mostly against the fact that 1+ is now just a flagship, which I don't care too much about. Nor do I for the camera or selfie-notch or whatever.
Are the software issues and such really that annoying to deal with? Are there other phones you'd recommend instead? Am I better off just hoping the 11 is a greater phone and keeping my 7Pro for now?
Pre-thanks for the answers!
It is a great phone however if your fussy, like to modify and customize ect (live for the root) then you will find it frustrating
I find it's great, once i overcame the things i hated and removed, or rewrote some bits to get the outcome i wanted. Ease of use is great, camera is 9/10 IMO. It is a good phone regardless

I've been browsing the sub for a bit and watched a few reviews about the phone because I have a pretty great deal for one and might consider buying it. I tried it out for a few minutes in a store the other day and it feels and looks great.
There seems to be a lot of negative talk, mostly against the fact that 1+ is now just a flagship, which I don't care too much about. Nor do I for the camera or selfie-notch or whatever.
Are the software issues and such really that annoying to deal with? Are there other phones you'd recommend instead? Am I better off just hoping the 11 is a greater phone and keeping my 7Pro for now?
Pre-thanks for the answers!

good phone but don't buy ne2215 single sim i was f****d
Just a tough question.
If you want a great phone with superb performance and amazing hardware, plus an battery that just doesn't quit then yes.
But if you're expecting a flashers paradise which is what most OnePlus buyers want then I'm afraid the answer is a solid no, at least for now.
Any phone I've ever had before if it's going to prove to be a developers haven, we would already have ROMs popping up all over the place, alas with the 10 pro it's just not the case, then again neither is it with the pixel 6 or pro.
I hope it's not a sign of things to come, but for now it's a far cry from everybody's previous device.
Even the threads on XDA are convoluted and confusing, especially on the app.
I'd say look elsewhere but at least on paper, the two aforementioned devices are the best that is currently on offer.
Difficult time to buy unless you don't mind last gens phone. In which case I'd say go 8 pro or the 9 if flashing ROMs is your thing.
I hope it turns around but time is ticking away and the longer it goes on the slimmer the chances.
Pixel 6 Pro NOT worth buying !
After many bugs, new offer from google : "no network" (not from SIM , not from wifi). In the USA.

I ditched the Pixel 6 Pro awhile ago. Just too buggy with the first generation Tensor SoC....

listen mate go for xiaomi mi 11 ultra i regret that i sold it perfect phone
Would the nothing phone be worth considering?
Aesthetically it's a stunner IMO...
dladzI, too, like Nothing phone. For the design in the first place. The price is tempting.
I Hate rounded phones (dildo like), rounded corners, curved screen (useless expensive creap).
khapunkapif money is no issue get Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

XDA has been terrible over the years. The search feature is so flawed now it almost seems like a waste of time to tell people to search for anything. The app is garbage now and basically was a slap in the face to users who had to pay for the premium app back in the day to get good usability.

Loool at dildo phone. That made me chuckle.. what's the price on the nothing phone? Has that been provided yet?? Also one problem I may have with it is the SOC that's been chosen.
Design wise tho, looks amazing.
Plus Carl Pei on board can only be a good thing

Lol I forgot about that, but I did buy the premium app, then it just disappeared. The categories looks like someone made a change for the sake of making a change, it's less intuitive.
Oh wow, now that's some original OnePlus pricing..
Amazing
Nothing phone price for the smaller ram/storage around 460 euro
Oled, 120hz, 6,55 inch
Qualcomm SM7325-AE Snapdragon 778G+ 5G (6 nm) chipset (mid ranger)
Can you get it ? "Leakers" say is by invite only..., like OnePlus One was...

I have an invite so I could, just don't have the extra cash ATM, plus knowing my luck I'd get it then a tonne of custom ROMs would come out for the 10 pro.
Black or white ?.. i am so racist!..

Not that they're selling it in the US to begin with but I couldn't do a 778G+ chip. Gotta have a flagship. There is a massive gap between 778G+ and 8 gen 1.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 vs Snapdragon 778G Plus: tests and benchmarks
We put Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 against 778G Plus to find out which SoC is better. See performance comparison in benchmarks and games.
nanoreview.net
I had to go to a custom ROM thanks to OnePlus throttling the SoC on my 9 because the browsing performance was garbage without the X1 core and the 778G+ Geekbench single core score is similar to the throttled 9 performance. Thanks but no thanks.
Yes, the Nothing phone 778G+ chip is a big step backwards!
If money is a problem, Nothing phone is good. Nothing is around 470 euro, 10 Pro - 919 euro (8/128)
And SD 778 is the best performance processor for midrangers phones.
I like Very Much the design of OnePlus 10R (global Ace)
