I updated to this 2 days ago. I haven't been able to find a change log of the update (which isn't unusual I know)
Would be interested to know if you see any improvements.
Not found any changes yet not had much time to look I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 a couple of weeks ago been trying to update it through Kies is a nightmare,how do you find the camera in general?

It's better than I thought it would be, just waiting on the right occasion to try it out properly. One thing I love is the screen. It's fantastic for viewing shots.
Did it on OTA - Quoted "Stability Improvement". To be totally honest it has been rock solid since day 1 for me with no hiccups, so I have no idea about that.

Has anyone undertaken upgrade to 4.1.2? Were there issues with stability of the camera - there seemed to be an update available which upgraded the firmware but also camera firmware but ever since upgrading there is a significant wobble or stability issue on screen
Hi guys, what is the best way to migrate all my data/media from galaxy s8 to p20 pro?
Best way is to keep your Galaxy S8 and sell the P20 Pro. xD

I use the phone clone app from Huawei. It should do all the work for you.
Does it preserve photo/videos original date ?

This plus if it's a lot of data like mine was I'd use the type c connector that Samsung has and connect a 3.0 USB at the end of it. Copy/paste it to the P20 Pro
Saves a lot of time

You mean the date when it was taken? Yes, it basically copy everything that can possible copy to your phone. I do that with my s9 to p20 pro, somehow it also include some of samsung app too....
The P20 Pro is a great phone but lacks in optimization. If they software was polished then it would be one of the best to own. There are bugs affecting daily usage and some people are experiencing Multi random restarts a day. Just be aware of this before buying this phone. These iasues might get fixed with future updates but can you put up with these issues

I'd agree with this summary coming moving from an s9+. The migration went really well using the Huawei clone utility. However the frequent reboots are just getting annoying and I may be switching back.
I don't know what you're doing but I've never had a random reboot on stock rom and I haven't heard anything of the 100+ users in telegram before. GSIs, yes, but not with stock rom here.

Most likely some of your app not compatible with p20 pro, the cpu on p20 pro is different from s9. The huawei clone app is actaully copy every possible app to your phone. you may want to check if some of your apps run in background and crash your phone that cause reboot. Most likely either some of your samsung app keep running at the background, or the huawei's kirin cpu is not compatible with some of your old apps
I have moved fron S8 Duso (Eynons CPU) to P20 Pro. And I'm heavy user. Just to tell you the P20 Pro us much more better then S8, in all aspects. For me it is a big step from S8 and S9.
If you are a gamer, then wait update for P20 Pro to bring GPU Turbo, it will make phone much more better GPU then even newer SD845.
But, everyone's buy what it want.

I searched and didn't see it mentioned but the latest Update for TMobile OP7 Pro is available. Sorry if wrong place to post or a dupe.
Update 9.5.10 just landed on my phone. Screen shown in my most recent post
Awesome! Thanks man I've been waiting for this update.

Updated & definitely see huge improvements on the Camera (the Camera was already great IMO). OnePlus has seriously shown amazing support for this device sofar.

What improvements do you see? Someone mentioned that the 48mp Pro mode photo quality was reduced in another forum. I'm still in 9.5.5 so I would need to update to 9.5.6 then this one. Just want to make sure that it's worth the update.
So this was how long after the official release? I think the updates are definitely coming quicker on my pro than they did on my 6T with T-Mobile.
I had actually returned my first OP 7 pro, but am going to give another try now that the new update is out a lot faster than TMO originally told me. The phone is very comfortable and smooth, but camera was the only thing that was a downer. So here's to a second try [emoji16]

I was surprised how fast the update came out considering most carriers can take their sweet time vs unlocked OnePlus international version. I was considering making mine the international version but thought I would see how quick TMo would release it. Good luck to you and hope it meets expectations. Keep in mind the teams working on the gcam are working their magic. If the stock camera isn't up to your standards you may try testing their gcam apk and xml. Users are reporting better pics.

How so? I am curious. for the most part the international version has been working for me with very few if any complaints, though do wonder if the T-Mobile firmware's radio firmware is slightly better for cellular connectivity.

How do I update to 9.5.7 while rooted?
Agree on the speed at which TMobile turned this update around.. I really appreciate the effort.
As for camera performance. I am far from a professional. It does seem to take a better photo in auto mode to jpeg. I downloaded the update on the plane as I was leaving for vacation. Glad to have the improvements with me.
No ghost taps yet and double tap has not missed a tap yet, only two days in though might be too early to tell...
Nightscape
The Nightscape on the INT and TMO are NOT the same. INT is MUCH MUCH better. TMO version is like the 9.5.5 version i dont know why this isnt the same but it isnt. I tested them back to back last night and the difference is HUGE. Yes I did the cache wipe and had thought it fixed it but nope. I haven't really tested the other camera functions. Everything else seems fine. The INT version does get weird with wifi calling and switching over so yah the Radio firmware issue does seem to be a thing.
9.5.8 just rolled out for th global version can't wait until TMobile gets it
And here you go...
Only update listed was the security patch.
Yeah, I was almost going to switch ROMs back to the T-Mo version since they rolled out 9.5.8 pretty fast, but looking at the release notes from T-Mo which only shows security updates, I think I'll stick with the International version as the 9.5.8 release included a camera and phone audio update.

Wonder what the frequency of updates regarding bug fixes, features and security updates is.
Can't confidently buy this phone at the moment with lack of any assurances from RealMe

I've already purchased. Has so much potential. The OS is still somewhat Chinese even in English. If you could get oxygenOS it would be awesome.

I'm sure the EU version will have no Chinese but the OS itself in terms of features and performance will be similar,

I have gotten 2 updates for it so far. One after I turned it on and one yesterday I think just a minor update for security and gesture functionality. Camera is actually not too bad. For some reason tho in my room I'll get these black bars going across the camera but not with the wide angle lens. It doesn't appear outside or anywhere else tho and I don't know what in my room would cause they lol but it shows up in pictures. Outside pictures with good lighting came out really well maybe a lil too much highlight but with some updates it would be cool. I really wanted a 7T for the macro mode on the camera and surprise this one has a super macro mode that actually works pretty well too. I don't know if I can post photos in here or no I don't know how. Don't use this forum often as I was on iPhone life the last 2 years.

Yes,the features of the camera are great on paper but I've seen a lot of comparisons on YouTube and it seems to fall short compared to the Oneplus 7T for example but it can improve with updates and probably will.
I'm encouraged to hear you have gotten two updates already but am disappointed that Realme won't be giving Android 10 until q2 next year,that's quite late and they don't state anywhere their policy on the life of support which you would hope would be at least 2 years.
Macro mode looks awesome and the zoom,have you tried that ?
I might actually email Realme and ask them about software because in fairness they did email me back the last time I asked them about shipping and stuff,
I might buy this if the support will last 2 to 3 years but will need to lol at some other reviews
..
You can attach photos here using the yellow attach icon on the XDA app anyway
Yeah I'm not thrilled about Android 10 coming so late. I didn't even know there was an app so this makes everything way easier lol. Hopefully some nice custom ROMs will come out similar to oxygenOS. The OS is very fluid but still have something in Chinese and no Google assistant as built in assistant which I was really looking forward to. I'm attaching pictures I just went outside to take to show you 1x,2x,5x, and wide angle (or not keeps saying bad request?)

I'm not too keen on it myself,did a bit when I was younger but there are plenty of tutorials out there and XDA is quite useful of you have any questions.
Right now I'm just at the point where I need the phone to work and I need the manufacturer to support the OS of my device,
Currently have a Oneplus 6T and it's great for software,just got stable A10 yesterday morning on 1 year old device. If I was you I might start thinking of trading in your Realme for a OnePlus 7T or 7T pro.
The X2 pro is great on paper but I'm not sure about the software at all. Will be interesting to see some more reviews for the device especially as it comes out in the EU next week
I just switched to it today from my X. Will see how it does this week as a daily. Runs fornite mobile with a controller really well and COD mobile looks even better so smooth it's insane with highest graphics.

Hey Dude,cheers for the samples,they look good but I'm no expert.
Have looked at a lot of comparisons on YouTube and when they compare the camera on the x2 pro to that of a flagship like the p30 pro or iPhone 11 they generally say the x2 pro suffers in some areas.
I would say your photos look good but not amazing,maybe they aren't that sharp or the color is a bit off,maybe a bit noisy in areas,again no expert.
But how's the rest of the phone going,is the ColorOS any good,is it annoying,
How are the features etc ?
Still haven't pre ordered mine and not sure yet if I will

Pictures aren't bad especially in good lighting. Idk if photos get compressed when uploaded so that could be another reason. ColorOS is okay it's like a iOS kinda vibe but very well Android. It's usable but you can't change launchers or set default apps. Some stuff on the phone is still in Chinese. No Google assistant you have breeno instead which isn't usable because all Chinese. They have their own iCloud type deal on the phone too which doesn't work well cause again Chinese. Battery life tho is really good so far one of the best phones I've had with battery life and the charging is unreal how fast it is. I also pull faster data speeds on my iPhone X than this phone. WiFi is fast but my T-Mobile data is half as fast or less than that compared to the same service on the iPhone . If they could get oxygenOS on this thing it would be a beast.

Thanks for the detailed insight,I do think most of these google related problems will not exist on the global EU version,there will be no Chinese on that and you should be able to set the default launcher, OxygenOS would probably be amazing on this phone,it all depends on the dev community,though things do seem fairly quiet so far for this phone on XDA,I'm sure it will gain some type of dev following

That I do not know for sure with Realme but I don't think you will have a problem,The hardware is the same so I would hope you could easily flash the global rom.
Keep an eye on the forums here for advice and maybe read elsewhere like reddit.
Oppo are launching Color OS 7 with Android 10 next week and Realme are launching this phone in India the same day. Seems unlikely to me that they'd hurt sales by not getting this OS to this phone a lot sooner than Q2 next year.
Full story on GSMArena
Regarding Android 10, the twitter account for Realme Spain confirmed that it will release on Q1 2020 for every Realme in Europe. So it's a bit earlier than expected.
Hello people,
I am thinking of buying this phone as currently this is the perfect all round phone for the price. But, I see there is no development for it on XDA can anyone tell why so? Because I always use custom ROMs on my phone as I don't like this skinned versions. This is a big set back for me. Can anyone tell if there ever will be any development for this phone?
Thank you

I have had the phone for a few weeks and it is fantastic. 90hz is great and the fast charging is a life saver. The OS is pretty decent and I'm done with all the bugs of custom ROMs. Could be better but totally good enough.

Sadly the main reason is that released sources are messy and not easily usable for custom rom building.
Luckily all phones released with Android 8+ have a separate vendor partition compatible with treble, a new way of updating the smartphone imposed by Google. This means you would be able to install any rom you want that was build as a generic GSI image.
I got this phone instead of a Xiaomi because the hardware is just so good, and I don't regret my choice. Also the software is not as bad as people say, of course it's not barebone Android but realme os should make it even better.

I was too, but a couple of my friends have it and it broke in no time, I got scared it would be fragile.
I also got this for only 40€ more than the mi9t pro, and I would gladly take the 50W charging and the 90Hz over the popup

Yes, that's true
I was looking at the k20 pro,mi note 10 and this and went for the X2 pro simply because of the value for money,
90 hz
12gb ram
256gb ufs 3.0
50 watt charging,
People say downside is colorOs and yes it is not as good as other OS like Oxygen Is which I came from.
But it is not terrible at all and perfectly good in most areas,
RealmeUI is coming though and it looks impressive giving all things you would want in a feature rich OS from AOD to edge lighting,Im really excited for it.
If ROM support is really that important to you then I guess go with a 7T but for those who are not too pushed the X2 is perfect

Woah woah dude, calm down. I follow Zack and see all of his reviews, I'm a phone fanatic and check out any news in the phone department.
Before this phone I had 2 different Xiaomi phones, I was valuating another one before getting this. I'm not attached to any brand or anything.
I'm just telling what happened to a couple of my friends, if you don't believe me I'll get photos of their phones but I don't see the point. I couldn't care less of what other people buy, the op just asked a question and I shared my experience.

Yeah, it is value for money for sure. These companies are not like Apple that they will give software updates for 3-4 years, they suddenly drop support that's what I am afraid of.
That's why ROM development is very important for me I always want to use the latest Android. 7T is out of budget so I may opt for K20 Pro.

I think people will refrain from unlocking and flashing because it breaks the FOD.
That is what made me go for the k20 because if you are a flashaholic like me, custom development is what matters the most.
I have suffered with my first phone with no development, the Coolpad Note 3. When new it seems nice but as time passes by with no updates. It gets very hard to deal with repeated factory resets, which is the only way left.
So all the rest of my phones that I bought had some of the best development teams...even till date.

So if you want to taste custom roms, you have to go the k20 way, but beware the FOD (Fingerprint Scanner) on custom roms on the K20 Pro aren't flawless byt still work with workarounds, including widewine L1 support.
Support is really poor and updates come later.
I like my X2 Pro but it is clear it is not a top range also because of this.
Honestly i think about spend my money for my next phone in Realme phones (except minor phones, maybe mostly supported).

This is not true,I bought the phone at Christmas and have had one update a month with latest security patch.
It has been known now for some time that Android 10 and realmeUI was coming in March so I don't know why people are complaining,
Software support has been on point and no promises were broken

I am referring to relevant updates, if you are happy because of having one update at month without real improvements, you are welcome.
We know about the "promise" of Realme about March update, but the reality is that Realme is slower than other brand, mostly with its top phone.
I don't understand, instead, why people accept everything and prefer to say that his phone is fantastic rather than underline failings, just because has got this phone.

...and the point of first message is about development, i draw a veil over that argument, so we all expect at least to have real, good updates from manufacturer...
So if someone ask about it is right to say the truth.
February update now live in the UK site.

In Indian site too. Changelog is irrelevant
Change log is pretty much irrelevant on most phones... I've noticed lots of stuff not mentioned on the change logs on various devices.

Do you even have this phone ?
The quality of the updates have been decent. No real bugs with the software for most people,though have seen some people complain about minor things that they experience but I think most of us knew colorOs wasn't going to be perfect,
Another update just released today,this is better than most manufacturers,OnePlus for example only give Bi monthly and their releaselog is pretty pathetic at times mentioning improvements to weather app and unknown bug fixes.
Realme is definitely not slower than other brands,it's one of the quickest in actual fact and I for one don't feel at all like I'm accepting everything just because I own the phone,
I'm happy and looking forward to RealmeUI
