ZTE Axon ELITE owners club :)

Hello, as there is not this device on XDA yet, I hope you guys dont mind if I open this thread here.
Axon Pro and Axon Elite are basically same phones, only different is QHD screen vs FHD in Elite version and maybe colour and LTE bands and maybe only 3GB of RAM for Elite (still plenty). - feel free to correct me, I did not check it anymore.
I have ordered International/UK version from the only place I could find they have them for sale which was Ebay (official way?)
If you also have this version, please reply to this thread so we can share our experiences and founds.

I like the specs. Color not my style. No support for AT&T LTE either. Good value and quality device. Let us know how you like it when it arrives.

I think Elite is basically International model, you have to get Axon Pro to works fine in US I think.

So here is unboxing only, have to go away now so more to come later I am sorry for video quality as OPPO R7+ totally sucks!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adLo1XvVbfc&feature=youtu.be

hey.... nice unboxing video,
now my first 24 hours with this phone....works perfekt for me...
will compare now with my nubia z9 max ....its very hard....
the problem is axon has the 800 lte band and the nubia has it not.
is the modem changeable?
hope to get soon more informations about this.
(sorry for my funny English)...
Greetings Andy from Germany

So, here are my thoughts after two days of use:
Pros:
Screen is brilliant, very sharp and bright, no yellow bottom as some of Axon Pro sold in US. Performance is really good, the system is very smooth no lags when operating. Antutu score around 57000. Gaming is also no problem, last Need for Speed game runs smooth. Like the design have to say and phones`s size. Easy to hold in one hand. Fingerprint sensor works great! It is very quick to unlock so I am happy to use it - with other phones before I did not use the lockscreen at all as it was too slow to unlock then . Like the stock rom as it has many features you can find in custom roms only. Not a single app crash or close down. It does not overheat.

Settings:
Negs:
- After long press on back button to see your recent apps I find it takes long time to load , maybe two seconds. (less time with less apps opened of course)
- Main speaker quality is only average - this is not music phone , call speaker quality is worse than average. The sound quality of voice call is below average have to say. The sound is "flat", you still understand what the person saying, but you think you are not talking to a person but to some machine There is lack of details like person`s accent or his mood while talking. I never had same experience like this with other phone.
Still to test: Battery, Camera, Hi-Fi music mode, ZTE customer support app
Another findings:
Charging (phone is OFF - when phone is off you can press power button and display shows the % of capacity while keeping phone in OFF state):
from 0 to 60% of capacity takes 60 minutes
from 0 to 80% of capacity takes 80 minutes
from 0 to 93% of capacity takes 100 minutes
from 0 to 100% of capacity takes 110 minutes - with Quick Charge 2.0 I was hoping it`ll be quicker (keep in mind this was first full charging, so maybe it was not as fast as it could be)
This is the screenshot of charging when phone is ON, the original charger is 1500mAh:
Phones comes with some third party apps pre-installed, but not so many and they CAN be uninstalled via App Manager. Also there is Avast Antivirus built-in to the rom, but does not update for me. Some junk cleaners and other apps similar to apps in ColorOS. Also there is ZTE app for customer support with live chat
Now, about CPU:
I will have to test this further but this should be 8-core CPU (4 slow cores and 4 fast cores) right? Snapdragon 810 has Cortex A-53 and Cortex A-57.
This screenshot says the fast cores (A57) should be clocked to 2 Ghz:
And slow cores (A53) on 1.5Ghz:
This screen is showing all 8 cores and their frequencies:
The problem is while doing Antutu benchmark I NEVER see more than 2 fast cores working. The other two are always offline:
Compare it to Snapdragon 615 in OPPO R7 Plus while running Antutu benchmark:
So as a quick resume it seems the kernel never let more than 2 cores from A57 to be working. Hopefuly I am wrong here and will get all 4 cores work somehow.

Hi...
You are right...only 6 Cores working...
i can confirm this.
i have written this to the german support team...
Not so funny...
Regards
Andy
update:
on my nubia z9 max with snapdragon 810
are allso 2 cores not working (core 7 and 8)
and on the axon it is (core 6 and 7)

Hi Andy, thank you for your info. I found it really strange and was not sure if I am doing something wrong. After testing phone for next few days I found sound quality of phone calls is really bad. The sound of people`s voice is really "flat" and it is really nothing as clear voice call. I am not native English speaker and have to say I was having trouble to understand Irish speakers. I switched back to OPPO R7 Plus where voice calls are excellent and having no issues there at all. Also found battery drain is really high for me (I think because the SD810) so I am sending Axon Elite back to seller. No longer want it to be honest. It is great phone spec/value but I`ll be happier with OPPO R7 Plus which is getting CyanogenMod very soon.
PS: tried the "equaliser" called something "Hi-Fi" and second called "Dolby Digital". It just did not work with any music app, not even default one. Only the one "Hi-fi" in the settings worked in its demo mode - it has 4 presets, but neither of these works while playing music. When testing display (with YAMTT app), the screen was able to detect no more than 2 touches (fingers), when touch more than two the fingers screen freeze

Bugs Axon elite ?

sorry mate, I sent my Axon Elite back to seller, wasnt happy with it

default launcher
Hello mates!
I'm just starting to get familiar with this device and in general, I'm quite satisfied about it. I't is not the best you can find in the market but it's the cheaper, considering its specifications. However, I found serious difficulties to put in alphabetical order the icons included in the default launcher. After trying it for a long time, I couldn't get it so, does anybody know how to do?
Thank you in advance!

Overall love

Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Xiaomi Mi Max 3, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

So ..I guess we're waiting for the first owners to receive their phones?

****y service with ****y phones. No more Xiaomi for me. Had enough with Mi Max 1 &2.
They don't release sources on time. MIUI is a joke of an OS and they promise one thing and deliver something else.
JThis is just a hype created by Xiaomi. Not a worthy upgrade to either MM1 or 2.

I heard there are some issues unsolved. Like the phone speaker not being able to adjust the cracking sound volume on phone calls on the mi max 2.
However I was lucky with the Mido. Everything works in Lineage OS without any bugs of whatsoever.
I can just cross my fingers and hope official Lineage OS will come to this phone :fingers-crossed:
For me it took three days to get the unlock code as described that it should..even though there was some issues with the unlocking process that took some extra days. But I guess your mileage may vary.

Yes I tried in Apr for a friend's phone don't remember the model it said wait for 15 days. So please check Xiaomi forums you would know.

I too believe that xiaomi should be consistent with releasing updates on time and don't show false hopes... and shdnt be biased toward specific range or models. How much love xiaomi showed for mi max 2? its still nougat and here devs are on their own to release upgrades with help of unknown or incomplete sources...
Teasing and luring won't help sometimes... just adding screen and a bit processor upgrade don't worth it and even if they add some great hardware still its question abt how much xiaomi will support this device or is it future proof?

That's one Honest Opinion! And I'm sure of that!
Xiaomi makes great phones but:

Yes, the partially source code is one bit I'm dissatisfied with Xiaomi.
I have the router 3G and you can choose to use padavan with closed-source original drivers.
Or you can use open-source drivers with LEDE and an alternative QoS module to avoid overload issue that makes the wifi disconnect the clients after a while of up time.

Waiting for this!

In in the display or the ergonomics (feel it should be display) you should ask if the display is too narrow relative to the diagonal (not diagonal am sure there will be folks who will say it is too big etc)...but more about the aspect ratio-is it too long relative to the width as the SCREEN width is no more than an old Samsung Mega 6.3 (same in fact)

I am going to develop for this device like i did for the previous Max's

Edit: nevermind, it was shipped this morning.
Any idea when it will ship?

I made the mistake of buying max 2 after max 1. The sources released almost 9 months after release of the phone. No more xiaomi for me. I'll gladly pay a little extra for another phone that has the software I want without bugs.

The Mi Max 2 is my fave all time phone.. I've happily UPgraded from a Exynos Samsung Galaxy S8+, which had terrible battery life..
Mi Max 2 with the latest xtended Oreo rom is amazing, highly configurable and SOT is nuts using kernel auditor. So yes I love SD625 and this phone, which my wife is also using but with standard MIUI.
Looking forward to the Mi Max 3 in the future.

Just gotten my Mi Max 3 today shipped directly from Shenzhen, China! :silly:
Binding period of 335 hrs to go for Unlocking Bootloader!

Question Performance of 888

Can we actually get the full performance of Snapdragon 888 in Xiaomi 11T Pro? Many reviewers says it's underperforming. Can we enable it's performance?
I have another question, people says it has throttling issues. Can i use it for heavy gaming? If i use a cooler fan? Does it will give a stable performance?
How is the phone in day to day use? Does it over heat?

on stock miui i dont think so, plus 888 and Gen 1 has heating issues so i dont think its a good idea also

MIUI is likely the cause of the problem here, I tried with a custom unofficial google experience rom the results were surprising as it surpassed the MIUI usage ones. Yes, even with a good custom rom that is lite will make the processor show its true self. I am using the White model with 8gb of ram and 256gb of storage to note. (Brought it in early 2022). I suggest you install a custom rom or anything to make MIUI lightweight. Custom rom is google experience unofficial version 12.1 .Snapdragon itself is already a beast when it come to performance. If want google experience unofficial rom for this phone click on this tutorial. >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-install-custom-roms-gsi-11t-pro.4396021/

Using a GSI Rom gives you tons of performance. The miui is the one slowing it down. Miui score for multi core is 2800 ish. Meanwhile I got 3203 on Geekbench. The phone does have a little bit of overheating. Other than that it performed well in normal indoor conditions and some outdoor. Honestly don't even dare to use MIUI.

I uses on previous phones, redmi note 7,8 pro , Poco f2 pro, Redmi note 9 pro 5g , so manu custom ROMs, Boootlegers, Pixel expirence, Project Elixir, CorvusOS , Radiant Project... Every single one is a good AOSP ROM, especially because of battery. but I can not and never will used to use Gcam, MIUI Camera is such improved, have so manu options, that is amazing. yes , Gcam do all automaticlly but MIUI camera have all that setttings and for those who love photography isnt hard to set up settings manually...
I already unlock boootoader , flashed Xiaomi EU but , with thus cpu no need to use AOSP

I myself personally have a dedicated mirrorless camera. For me performance matters. (Small political opinion) I am using no MIUI for many reasons. First thing USB debugging security. Yes, I have to enter my MI account. Calculator app sends to Xiaomi servers. THIS is not a cool OS. AOSP based rom suited me fully with all hands. MIUI also is laggy and eats resources. Xiaomi also made a timer when a critical setting is changed. I have had enough, and go for other roms instead. Say no to MIUI and say hello to other roms, they are here to stay.

I have already planned to install a custom ROM on it knowingly. Right now due to external crisis I need a bang for the bucks. You know that the economy all ran down. Yeah and smartphones got expensive. Plus I at least get speed. My Xiaomi account that I created is an alt as I used a alternative email to do that. I might sound weird, but hear me out. Earlier on I tried google normal GSI Rom and then pixel experience unofficial GSI Rom. The phone in the website also said android enterprise recommended... On the English version of the website this also lead me to think that even I know MIUI sucks I at least might be able to change the Rom to get price down.

ok,i see

If it is underperforming, I'd say it is still leaving a good impression on me. Bought one a couple of weeks ago (My S21u was stolen) and performs very well.

I change mine RN9ro 5G sd 750g with aslo 108mp camera ,with flash AOSP roms I got easly 2 days of battery , now I chane it to 11T pro and cant get used to that battery is almost empty in the evning.. but peformance of 888 is awesome... its twice faster opens apps then on RN9pro 5g

Question Just a few questions regarding Xiaomi 12 pro chinese edition.

Hi all, so I have searched for answers to the following questions on XDA and other forums. But I just wanted to ask here again because some answers may be outdated or I maybe I had misunderstood whatever the article said.
So I am thinking of buying a Xiaomi 12 pro (Chinese edition Model #: 2201122C) from AliExpress or Alibaba. I had the following questions for those who have done the same or know someone that did. I will answer all the questions I have and could someone please give me a heads up if I am correct or if there is anything I missed.
Thanks ..
Q1. If I don't like the Miui 13 (Chinese), I can unlock the bootloader using Mi Unlock Tool (7 days wait) and then proceed to flash global Rom or the one by Xiaomi.eu.
I think the answer here is yes.
Q2. However, If I dont like the Global or the XIaomi.eu rom, I cannot go back to the Chinese ROM due to Anti Rollback feature by Xiaomi?
Again Yes I think, but do let me know...
Q3. Are OTA updates available for Global ROM and Xiaomi.eu ROM installed on Chinese Models ( 2201122C)
I am not sure ...
Cheers and A Happy New Year to you all !!!

To unlock the bootloader and finalize the procedure, you will have to wait 168 hours.
Then you can install a Global / EEA rom or a Xiaomi EU rom, the ARB is easily circumventable and the CN roms are the most recent.
You will need to root the device with a stock rom and use Magisk, to have the play store certified, which is not necessary with a Xiaomi EU rom.
You will also get updates.
The Chinese version has fewer 4G bands than the Global version, check which bands you need (changing roms won't change anything).
There is a version of the 12 pro with soc MediaTek Dimensity, do not buy this version.

Thanks for your reply!
I just couldn't find a 12 pro global version anywhere for cheap.
After abit of research, I found out that Xiaomi 12T Pro is a better Option for me as it supports all the bands I require, It also will be supported by Xiaomi longer than 12 pro, 12T pro has a better CPU and faster GPU (Same GPU but overclocked I think), Bigger Battery. I have made a Decision Matrix attached below, Do let me know if I have given the scores correctly in your POV.
NB: The highlighted features are nice to haves for me and their importance is given on the right.

Fiji Islands

I tested the bands USING NET MONSTER APP UTILISED Locally by 2 major network providers:
Vodafone
2G - 900 Mhz
3G - 2100 Mhz
4G - 1800 Mhz AND 2500 Mhz
Digicel
2G- 900 Mhz
3G - 900 Mhz
4G - 1800Mhz AND 700 Mhz
BUT KIMOVIL SAYS THAT ANOTHER 4G BAND IS BEINH USED HERE:
800 MHz -- B20 -- WHICH IS NOT SUPPORTED BY 12 PRO CHINESE EDITION

It looks like there is no 5g there.
12 pro: WQHD+ display/aluminum frame/gorilla victus
12 t pro: FHD+/plastic chassis/gorilla 5
kimovil, very good to compare.
I have a 12 pro, it's a great phone with a nice screen, the only fault was the autonomy recently corrected with A13.

Yes, no 5g here currently,
I mean I was inclined to buy 12 pro but the risk of missing out on some bands may affect me in future as I would be travelling to europe for 6 months next year.
What would you suggest in this case ?
Thanks

Heyy there, I had no option but to go for Xiaomi 12 pro 8+256 chinese edition. The Xiaomi 12 T pro is not available in alot of places including Alibaba and AliExpress( No Shipping to my country). JD.com doesn't ship to my Country and the struggle was real since there is no authorized seller in my country.

Question Mi 9T PRO to MI 11 ULTRA Big difference ?

Hey guys ,
I'm using my mi 9t pro since 3 years now , currently on evolution X ( amazing rom by the way thanks to the dev . ) and I'm very interested about buying a mi 11 ultra but still have few questions .
Does someone did the changing as me ?
I'm currently struggling on battery since I used my smartwatch connected and I'm out of battery around 22:00 every day with just 5h screen maximum , will the mi 11 ultra the same ?
Thank you for your advises

Can someone also tell about wifi chip issue? I am planning to buy this device but read some where that it has issue where wifi stops working and its hardware fault?

I had Mi 9, Mi 10 and now Mi 11 Pro(which is pretty the same as Ultra expect tele camera an rear display which nobody uses). Also, month ago I bought Mi 9T Pro for my friend.
I still have Mi 9 and Mi 10 and Mi 11 Pro/Ultra is going to be your miracle in life. In combine with MIUI14(the fastest OS in 2023 I can say), you won't come back to any other phone.
If you decide to buy Ultra, prepare yourself for making CPU cooler with one magisk module.

Thank you for your answer

Thank you for your answers ,
Can you be more specific on what will be the life changing please ?
Also what about the battery life of your Mi 11 pro please ?
I eared the soc 888 is very bad for battery optimization and some people have only 3-4h of used before running out of battery ?

Well, camera - Leica mod and GCam made this phone one of the best on the market if we are talking about camera.
MIUI 14+ A13, big battery. I'm charging it once a day(I'm heavy user, as I'm listening to YT while working 8h + message apps).
Battery is great with Efficient Tuner(check on XDA).
With it performance is the best.
I can't check sot because I'm heavy user but it's more than 4 hours - at least it feels like that

I'm also using Mi 11 pro . Not many people using probably because they're scared since it's a CN model. But they don't know that CN rom actually has basic google services, just need to be enabled in the settings. Or you can just flash global or xiaomi.eu rom or AOSP.
So far I've flashed the global/eea rom , then the xiaomi.eu rom.
Now it's running Evolution X , and getting better battery runtime.
The phone has been really good , no problems encountered so far.

Ok, I'm probably well equipped to answer your question OP. I moved from the K20Pro (Aka 9tpro) to the 11 Ultra.
Things to note. Overheating can be a pain, seems to be better on miui13 and later firmware though. Camera is much better, battery life not so much. Imo, its about the same as when I was using the 9tpro. Faster charging speeds are good too, high refresh rate is good too.
I was an early adopter of the 11ultra and my first unit got fried about 11 months into its life but afterwards I've got it replaced and seems to be good for now.

My replacement is also a late 2022 production. June or July iirc. So far, the WiFi hasn't crapped out on me yet. Heating issues still remains because it's not a Xiaomi manufacturing issue but a sd888 issue.

Hopefully we are safe , I saw somewhere someone talking about a production without issue on 2022 but can't find anymore
I will play with the phone with Chinese version for a week then put the global miui14 on it I think, what is your recommandations ?

Good afternoon. I come from 1 year with Motorola and OnePlus. Where can I check the motherboard, to know if I will have problems in the future with this equipment?
I was also a user of the Mi 9T pro, more than 1 year ago. Then jump to 1+ 7Pro and then motorola

Hey there ,
When you received your phone on the back you will have the IMEI code .
You just go on https://xiaomicheck.com/
And put your IMEI code on it and it will show you if the phone is new , warranty date AND the production date .
But yet we are not sure since when they change the motherboard on the production..

Thanks for your answer. My only doubt is regarding the way they mention the date. Here in Mexico we always put: day/month/year. And some countries, I think they change, the month and day or day and month
