I read somewhere that starting with Android L Google is taking control over the system updates using the play store. I don't remember exactly where I read this but I would like to confirm this information with you guys.
Is that right? Does it mean that after android 5 the fragmentation will end? Or I just misunderstood the info?
I wonder if this being implemented maybe the core of the system would be on a separate partition and the OEM mods on another... Maybe?
Thank you.
Maybe for pure androud, but not for oem skins. Touchwiz, HTC Sense, etc.

So, in the end I understood wrong cause I thought that this would apply for every oem. ?
Sad, just sad. I'm interested on note 4 but Sammy doesn't give love to updates.
Agree they only update it once,
I suspect that the Note 4 will get the bump to Android L since the release is relatively soon. Hopefully they are working in conjunction with the carriers so that they don't have to wait until Sammy completes their image before beginning their testing. THAT's what takes so long!
Beyond the base of Samsung L, who knows?

Hope you're right.
I would expect update to Android L in the end of January for Note 4 - judging by how Note 10.1 was updated in the past.
I agree since the Note 3 is still sitting on 4.4.2. They need to keep up and allow the phone to stay fresh.
If you want upgrades, buy a Nexus or a Moto X.
Don't buy a Samsung/HTC and them complain about upgrades. You know what you are buying, Note is not a device which is meant for fast upgrades. It's should be quiet obvious to anyone.
If upgrades are your primary concern, get a Nexus.
Rumor has it the Note 4 and S5 will get Android L "late November or in early December" and that "Samsung may be working towards having updates ready sooner than usual."

My S3 is still getting updates. I don't know what Samsung phone you owned that only received one update but that is not the case with any of their recent flagship devices.

For those looking for a good camera and stock experience, do you think I'll be in good hands with a Xperia Z3. AFAIK sony is usually developer friendly and maybe we get a official CM release. Well, just speaking my mind... I dont know how stable Z2 is ATM.

actually i don't really know , sony has really some good sensors but they always ruin it with ****ty software , and yeah sony is dev friendly
but i guess Note 4 will have better image quality specially in low light and with video quality because it got OIS z3 doesn't
and Z3 has the same optics and sensor as Z2 as fas as i know so probs it will have the same image quality

Well i bought a z2 and sold it after 2 weeks of use. my note 2 takes better pictures than z2 in day light. Sony fools people with the 20 something megapixel camera. It actually takes 8 mp photos. 20 mp is just a marketing strategy. Dont be fooled.

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.

True but I heard the volte and vowifi works better with the T-Mobile updates
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.

T-Mobile is really stepping up their game I'm so happy we have the OnePlus 7404 North America OnePlus is a very good company and they are so customizable
Yesterday I noticed the lastest update phone list that will get MIUI 11 in a few days but matter of sorrow that MI 9 is not in that list!!
Why is that?
That's because your picture is the global rollout for India.

Scroll to the bottom.
We're in batch 2. (early november)
If cause for this is more polishing and bugs removal them it's not a biggie, at least to me!
Strange how this year's flagship gets pushed to the second batch along with phones 2 years old while last years flagship and current mid-range phones go to the front.
They're struggling with the 855 devices it seems, they don't even say it will come early november so they're definitely not even sure of that.

Seems like crap support,
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 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.
Hi Guys!
My heart is set on OP10Pro because it looks great so my only question will OP10Pro see any custom development? because its been many days since release but nothing appeared on xda or anywhere else for this device? Thanks
P.S should i buy it?
It always takes time to get, 3 to 6 months usually.
It will come in time on XDA.... The sooner the better!
I bought it and glad, but it's your choice...

I think something will come because of Oneplus phones are easy to root, unlock and not that muc harder to make some custom stuff, but I am not developer, just guessing. Also, Oneplus hasn't released needed drivers etc. yet. Anyway I heard Lineage OS has started to be developed for this device, so we need to wait.

Daylight and Night mode pics are great.
Some redness seen on face color some times.
Low light pics needs improvement and slow motion is worst quality.
The 150 lens is great to try and I loved it tried selfie by rear 150 lens and it looks great.
