I feel like Android phone manufacturers are making so many new phones no one can even keep up anymore. (Unless you have thousands of dollars to invest into phones). I just bought a droid Charge in August 2011 and pretty much there are 3-4 phones out or that will be out that are better in the next 2 weeks.
Personally I think they are making to many phones to fast and they are not giving the older phones the updates they need. This could turn in to a major fail. Just wanted to hear some other peoples thoughts on this issue.

get used to it br0. It's the cycle of technology. You can NEVER keep up. Just love what you have.
I do love what I had. That is why I just sold it on ebay. LOL I want the latest and greatest, but this is getting ridiculous. Who in the heck wants to hang with their old droid when there are 20 better phones out there within a year. Either Apple is on something or they are on to something. 1 new phone ever 6 months to a year and people go nutz for the fricking thing.
My advice evaluate the phone technology and its likelihood to be supported. These are the 2 most critical items to consider.
I have had a Galaxy phone since its release and I waited for it for 5 months before getting it............ because I knew it was going to have tech that would endure for a while. Now, we have the dual cores everywhere. Beware, just because it is dual core does not make it a great phone. Make sure to check everything out, and make sure it will be supported. Finally, As soon as you get a dual core in ........2012 there will be quad cores..........and so it goes...........

Well, yeah. Then commercial groups offering spaceship travels for big money definietly shouldn't do it, but wait until everyone can afford it.
If only having the best phone makes you feel the best I feel sorry for you. : (

Then the problem is clearly you and not the manufacturers. Ask yourself why you always want the latest and greatest. What significant and meaningful difference does it make in your day-to-day life.

The carriers will never update their phones as quickly as we would like, but we have CM7, Miui and other distributions to fix that.
Do you upgrade a laptop every 3-4 months? Likely not.
'phones' are becoming similar.
Also, Android being a powerful free OS allows many phone makers to get in on making a smartphone quite quickly. This is a good thing, not a bad one.
I dont go to the food store and complain there are too many different types of bread. Choice is a luxury.
/firstworldproblems
There is a problem.
The problem isnt choice or speed of new handsets. Its the fact these handset makers seem to be going out of there way to hold back features just to create more options.
Nearly every choice you make you sacrifice something that shouldnt be. This last year Samsung was incredibly guilty of that.
We shouldnt have to pick between the phone with the best camera or the best screen 3g or 4g when theyre released with identical specs within a few weeks/months of each other.
You end up with a situation where IMO since 3GS/NexusOne were both available at same time theres basically no best handset to get. They all have some glaring downside that often seems intentional. Nexus Galaxy having weak gpu/pentile screen/5mp camera for a flasgship phone is the calling card of this awful trend.
Hopefully Google buying Moto means a true flagship android phone will be out in the future. HTCs lousy digitizer selection , and Samsungs half assed approach really are getting on my nerves.
Win7 just needs more options PERIOD.
Actually I'm happy I'm a reviewer and I get all the newest models for a week only. I never have to regret my choice and invest in next generations and upgrades.
That's why I chose a mid-tier device - If review phones must be wiped, I can still keep my data on my Ace and customize how I want.
It's good that technology is moving so fast. You buy a thing, but there are many others that haven't bought this thing. If they were iPhoners, they would have to wait until June (or October in 4s case) till the next model.
But Androiders and WP7ists just go in the store and buy tech that is up to date, because it is released just weeks ago and so specs are always at its zenith.
Phone manufacturers are really going out of control. They produce phones with specs that are missing, then include them in their next offerings. but then they produce phones which are pretty much the same as the ones before except for 1 or 2 upgrades to increase sales.
They like to make their products 'diverse' but if you look on the bird's eye view of it. It becomes clear that they are just going for quantity without quality products.
Why don't they just drop down a killer phone whose specs will stay for at most 2 years?
Better buy a product which suits you for the next year or two
I think it's great, actually. People only THINK they need the latest and greatest device, when they don't. I rather have 5 new phones come out in a 2 week period than having to wait for something for a year or so. With android, there's little chance of you not finding the PERFECT phone for you. (Mines is the SK4G, I can care less about any other phone now)
The only problem I see with rapid phone releases is updates. I highly doubt the Sidekick 4G, even with it coming out earlier this year, will see ICS... let alone Gingerbread, because they're forgotten about/ not important enough.
Honestly, if you have a rooted GB device, and it runs how you like it, do you need to worry about the newer phones?

Because, short of Apple and their ability as a small company producing both hardware and software,there is not profit in that. Companies are out to make money, it is not their fault that the wealthy people of the world have decided that they must have the latest phone no matter what, that's on the consumer.
I bought a Nexus One in April 2010 and I've not felt tempted to replace it before now because it runs Gingerbread and newer phones didn't seem to offer that much more.
However, the release of the Galaxy Note with the stylus for accurate screen pointing and screen large enough and with sufficient resolution to display entire Web page makes an upgrade now worthwhile to me. Zooming and panning a small phone screen across a Web page to find specific points of interest is a pain and I look forward to leaving that experience behind.

Because if they play apple's game, they will lose horribly. Apple is apple, and apple is the standard whether you like it or not. When a average person compares a phone, what does he compare it to? The iPhone of course. So a manufacturer will not survive if they only release a oh so powerful phone every year or two, simply because they do not have nearly as much of a fan base apple has.
it's really awesome imo
always something to be excited about
I love waiting for a phone I've been wanting to drop in price, and while I wait, an even better phone gets released lmao
http://www.facebook.com/motorola?sk=wall&filter=1 click the link people like it and comment on it.
I have seen first hand proof of this working. I had an evo 3d. Htc decided all futre devices would have locked bootliaders well that made alot of people angry. Someone posted a thread on xda suggesting we let htc know that is not gna fly. So it turnd out thousands of people got on there facebook wall and twitter. Guess what the next day htc released a statement saying that they wanted too keep there coustamers happy and that the bootloader would be unlocked. They were. Id like to be able too have a device and not have too get a new one juzt because moto or htc or sammy wants too put them out constantly get people too buy them and then ditch them and out out another. The atrix is 100 percent capable of runing ics and theres no excuae for it l not too recieve it just because moto wants people too buy new devices every couple months. I know many many people feel the same way well as i said we have the power too change that if people would stop bickering and take it seriously. And also if moto started supporting devices longer not just bug fixes but the new android flavors. Id definately make my next device a moto it would do nothing but benefit them

I think it is this statement that sums it all up. Very well said.
Well I know that in the past there were similar questions and threads but they were general discussions. Anyway I need some opinions and here is my question. I'm a proud owner of HOS S4 and I m really content with it. But our firm gives us SGS3 (International). In the end, I'll pick one of these phones and will give the other to my wife
Because of build quality, general performance, size etc. I would prefer HOS. Because it was also my choice over SGS3 when I first bought it. But there is two things thingles in my mind
First: I intend to use the phone for 2-3 years. When you look from hardware perspective, which one of these phone, do you think, will technologicaly endure more, after, lets say, 2 years?
Second: I never used although tempted by ability to use two apps in split screen on SGS3. But I don't have experience about what it is like in real world. Is it a dealbreaker? Do you think it can be a reason to choose SGS3 over HOS?
Thanks for your opinions.

As far as build quality... I've never owned an S3 but I had an S2 that cracked RIGHT OPEN because it's made of plastic... I believe the S3 is as well, right? The HTC One S has the clear advantage when it comes to the physical shell. Metal beats plastic any day for me... The S3 is better hardware wise, the international is quad-core tegra if I'm not mistaken but I'd still pick the HOS S4 myself.
1. When the one S struggles, the GS 3 will struggle, there is nothing that either phone will struggle with in 2 years time apart from some more demanding games probably.
Just look at the GS 2 and GN, both still perform very well (granted the one S and GS 3 feel quicker in general stuff but the difference isn't as vast, thanks to jellybean) yet their hardware is inferior to both and they are what? 2 years old now? And I can see both doing well for another year.
2. Up to you really, I think it is a cool feature, however, when I think about it, I would very rarely use it, now on a note II, then things would be different due to the screen size. Besides you can get apps on the market, which allows you to multi-task in a similar way such as over skreen:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...vbS5teWJveWZyaWVuZGlzYWdlZWsuYWlyYnJvd3NlciJd
The main thing that I would look at though is software updates, which will be supported for longer and how quick will the updates be delivered? Unfortunately too hard to say, although Samsung are very slow when it comes to their phones which are no longer number 1....
Saying that, no company has commented on 4.2 yet and the next android version (KLP) is due in May and if it is as big as what ICS was, then chances are you are going to be waiting 9+ months anyway regardless of what phone you stick with.
And no, the international is not tegra, but exynos, S4 chipset is still better overall.
Also, phones might be plastic, however, that doesn't necessarily mean that they will have poor durability. Aluminium phones are usually more likely to damage due to them not "absorbing" the shock as well. The GS 2 is one of the most durable smartphones, GS 3 isn't, because the glass extends right to the edge so the one S would be more durable than the GS 3. At the end of the day, it comes down to luck and where/how the phone lands.

I'm a proud owner of a HOS S4, rooted and all! Problems I HAD with my phone were before I rooted it. One major issue with the HOS is that my connectivity was really BAD, barely 1G indoors! This was, however, the only problem.
As far as I know the s3 does not have such problems (maybe other kinds, I don't know). It has superior hardware and capabillities though.
So my opinion: if you're not rooting the HOS go for the s3. If you ARE rooting, stick to the HOS, best device for customization
Sent from my One S
The HOS is an excellent device. Plain and simple.
For the 2nd question... I dont think its a dealbreaker... I think the screens on a phone is too small to fully enjoy such a feature.
Had it been a tablet in question here, then I would probably be quite interested in that feature myself.
The S have plenty of power, so switching apps isnt really such a big issue as it can be on slower devices.
Thanks for all your opinions. You helped to strengthen my heartily decision. I ll keep my dear HOS.

Hello I would like the community's opinion regarding upgrading my current phone. I am currently Using LG G2. But I plan to upgrade my phone.
My primary candidates are HTC One M8, OnePlus One
The things I want:
- Good battery Life
- Primary Usage are Internet, and Watching Video
- Must be Reliable in terms of both Software and Specially Hardware***
I do intend to keep the phone I buy this time and keep it for a very long time like about 1.5 years or 2.
Please suggest me any other phone if you think it may suit my need
Also share your experiences about the issues faced by OnePlus One users.
Thank You

Really?
Are you being serious? The Find 7a and OnePlus One are very similar. Lets clear this up,
Longer Battery: Oppo Find 7a has a 2800 mAh battery; whereas, a OnePlus One has 3100 mAh. OnePlus One is also using CM11S which is pretty much AOSP and is very battery friendly. Many reviewers praise the OPO for its amazing battery life. Battery life is not a problem, you can have the worst wakelocks possible and end the day with 30%+ battery remaining
Good display: Both of the phones have very identical displays. Same ppi, same resolution, same Gorilla glass.

Price point, OnePlus One is a lot cheaper of a phone. Has massive ROM and Kernel development whereas the Find 7a (or any other phone) does not with the exception of the Nexus series.
OnePlus One is a steal ~$364 with a invite for 64GB of storage. Cyanogen Inc is committed to updating this phone and commits are being pushed to the device on a daily basis, its their flagship device. Updates, big screen, reliability from Cyanogen Inc will not be a problem, they're hiring big names in the tech industry (from Microsoft, MediaTek, HTC, Facebook) and are a force to be reckoned with as of late with massive fundings.

Thanks for your opinion and also an energetic one.
Can you share if you happen to notice any problems/issue with the phone, or common issues faced by this phone?
okay if you get lucky you will get a great oneplusone. but like my people they have problems.
maybe some have the problem but don't mind
but on the french side of the oneplusforum, one guy made a poll and lets say that 6/20 people have touchscreen/hardware problems.
so or you gonna have a great phone or you gonna have to email etc oneplus to get e new full working phone.
and still the oneplus one is a great phone. but its hard to love. i wanted it. but now i don't, i don't want to take the chance to have a sh!t phone that makes me mad 'again!' it's a cool nice phone, but the quality control is not always the same. one phone works other one is sh!t, so if you have the money to buy a other phone do it.
if i don't try a other 300€/400 phone there alot out there. xiaomi, oppo, zte.
all new cpu s801 and full hd from 5" - 5.5" if one day oneplus will get there sh!t totether and make the phone 100% working. with maybe 1or 2 /20 that have problems would help

I don't have any problems. If I did, its fixed or workarounded. Some of the problems I encounter,
- Touch screen bugs: Fixed via kernel update. It is eliminated fully in the next OTA. Not a problem of Oneplus or cyanogen, its a fault of Synaptics, the company who does the touch screen.
- Yellow on the bottom.... I use screen filter to workaround it, although there has been reports that the newest revisions don't have this problem anymore and it is rarely visible.
... Overall the phone is great and is a great budget phone with the top of the line specs.

this is my concern also. it is why i am strongly considering getting the note 4. the 3 and 2 series have been exceptional.
However, the upgrade from 3 to 4 is negligible. Hence why im looking at the opo its these comments im reading here about its quality control which is making me hesitant. I hope we both enjoy our new phones but if you are debating then i would recommend you consider the note 4.

The thing is I has Touch Sensor issues with my LG G2, and spend a hell lot to change the whole display set. Now i want to get rid of it.
At this moment I am not sure if its worthy to spend $575 for HTC M8 or $450 for One Plus One 64GB. Those are the price at which these phone are sold in my country, so no arguments there.
I happen to use HTC M7 for 3 days which i borrowed from my friend and I loved its experience. But M7 has Camera Pink Tint issues and also USB connection port issues.
So you get that I am in a really confused situation. I dont want to spend so much money then worry about the reliability of the phone.
PS. Warranties are not available in my country other than Nokia and Samsung as other phones dont officially distribute in my country. And Samsung sold from the official dealers a really expensive. Like S5 costs around $700 with warranty

so at the end i always come back at the oneplus, or last week found the xiaomi mi3. other phone are not aviable for a good price in europe. and i don't want to pay extra for import tax ect. cause that will be like 50-80euro more for a phone that i bought for 300€ and i aint paying more than what i decided that i want to pay
so my choos i limited...

Really?
Are you being serious? The Find 7a and OnePlus One are very similar. Lets clear this up,
Longer Battery: Oppo Find 7a has a 2800 mAh battery; whereas, a OnePlus One has 3100 mAh. OnePlus One is also using CM11S which is pretty much AOSP and is very battery friendly. Many reviewers praise the OPO for its amazing battery life. Battery life is not a problem, you can have the worst wakelocks possible and end the day with 30%+ battery remaining
Good display: Both of the phones have very identical displays. Same ppi, same resolution, same Gorilla glass.

http://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_one-6327.php
Super Charging: OPO has it too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753134
Removable Battery: Lets be honest, even if I did have it... I wouldn't be changing the battery much and its a 3100 mAh anyways.
-------
Price point, OnePlus One is a lot cheaper of a phone. Has massive ROM and Kernel development whereas the Find 7a (or any other phone) does not with the exception of the Nexus series.
OnePlus One is a steal ~$364 with a invite for 64GB of storage. Cyanogen Inc is committed to updating this phone and commits are being pushed to the device on a daily basis, its their flagship device. Updates, big screen, reliability from Cyanogen Inc will not be a problem, they're hiring big names in the tech industry (from Microsoft, MediaTek, HTC, Facebook) and are a force to be reckoned with as of late with massive fundings.

Get this phone. You won't regret it and it will for surely get Android L <90 days of release as promised. https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/regarding-android-l.49957/
It takes longer as CM features need to be ported over to Android L. Other phones will have to wait for custom rom features as well.

okay if you get lucky you will get a great oneplusone. but like my people they have problems.
maybe some have the problem but don't mind
but on the french side of the oneplusforum, one guy made a poll and lets say that 6/20 people have touchscreen/hardware problems.
so or you gonna have a great phone or you gonna have to email etc oneplus to get e new full working phone.
and still the oneplus one is a great phone. but its hard to love. i wanted it. but now i don't, i don't want to take the chance to have a sh!t phone that makes me mad 'again!' it's a cool nice phone, but the quality control is not always the same. one phone works other one is sh!t, so if you have the money to buy a other phone do it.
if i don't try a other 300€/400 phone there alot out there. xiaomi, oppo, zte.
all new cpu s801 and full hd from 5" - 5.5" if one day oneplus will get there sh!t totether and make the phone 100% working. with maybe 1or 2 /20 that have problems would help

If you're lucky you might get a great OnePlus One? Come on, that's bs. The truth is, if you're really unlucky you might get a bad one.
All these posts claiming that there are such high numbers of faulty devices are just wrong. You can run all the polls you like but it isn't going to give you an accurate figure at all. Not even close. All you're doing is measuring the percentage of the amount of devices from people who could be bothered taking a poll, or who stumbled upon the poll in a small forum.
I know a whole bunch of people who own this device, we're talking dozens, and only one of them has had any issues with it. The fact is that the small number of people who do have a problem are always the ones who shout the loudest. You don't see anybody creating threads and causing commotion when their device is behaving like it should, do you? No, you don't.
Just because there are some faulty devices out there in the world, and people are making a completely half-assed attempt at measuring the percentage of faulty devices (people with zero actual data gathering experience or knowledge), does not mean there's a real problem with the One. All the loud-mouths with their whining only create an illusion that there's a problem, and all the gullible people soak it up like a sponge.
@in_core, buy the phone, you won't regret it.

That's not a problem with oneplus. They're a start up company and for their first year, they're doing quite a good job. Sure it's not perfect with the invite system but that's due to their production.
The same could be said about the nexus devices, it's only cheap in selective markets. It's not just the oneplus one.
I'm not saying that removable battery and remove storage is not needed. Sure it's nice to have but let's take a step back.
Removable storage: you're given 64GB of internal storage. The other edition is 16GB which isn't really produced as oneplus is producing 64gb due to a popular demand. $299 vs $349. That's a difference of $50. Take a look at other companies and see how they would charge for a extra internal storage for 16 to 64. Oneplus could have cheap out and gave us 32gb for 349 and 64gb for $449. Anyways to get to the point, the phone has 64gb of internal storage, storage is not a problem what so ever. Would it be nice to have a sdcard? Sure but it's not a deal breaker.
Oneplus is already selling the phone cheap as it is, they're barely making a profit and you want them to put more features after they gave you 64gb? Come on now.
Removable battery: technically any phone has a removable battery if you just take it out. Oneplus had swapstyle covers that shows you that. The back of the phone isn't the easiest thing to take off but it's possible to do. From a design perspective, it'd be pretty difficult to have the sand stone black and back design that the oneplus already have to include a removable back that is easy.
The same idea of removable storage can be applied to the battery. Would it be nice to have? Yes. But if it doesn't have it, it's not a deal breaker as we're already given 64gb of internal storage and 3100 mah battery. Oneplus one has the best battery life on the phone market right now. At its given price point of $349 the oneplus one is a steal if you received a invite. Given some effort, you can get a invite within hours on various social networks / forums.
if you are on a budget I will say the OnePlus is the best bang for your buck. Honestly like others have mentioned you will only hear about the bad and not enough good stories but I will be honest with you. I am nowhere disappointed in my purchase of this phone and hopefully neither will your if you purchase it.
Alot of things are overrated in my opinion. No need to remove a battery if the one you havve last you all day. No need to have extra storage if you have a good data plan and use the cloud. I am coming from a 16gb N4 that I placed all my music in Google Music and my apps in dropbox, drive and other various cloud storage.
Dont fill your phone up with crap and believe me this phone with camera, storage and best battery in the game will make you a happy individual
Just curious out of the people who have this phone. After ordering how long did it take to ship?
I think it depends which of the phones you can get your hands on. After my Nexus 5 has been replaced 3 times under warranty I am starting to care more and more about that kind of support as well.

i know you are right. but it's that i have ben talking to a developer. and he didnt recomande me the phone. (guess he had a bad one) and asked him again 1month later how its going he sayed don' buy u aint gonna love it....
that the thing. i know he knows what he says but yeah, xiaomi mi3 is a bit boring. i mean 5" no lte. and only miui or a AOSP rom. noting more. cause no kernel sources yet...
and the oneplus is almost the same size as the xiaomi (xiaomi mi3 is as big as a xperia z1. just a bit smaller)
so yeah. the thing is. okay maybe i will get lucky but i dont like to know that maybe im gonna get a phone with touchscreen isues.. i hate that. thats going to make me smash the phone.... i already had problems with touchscreen and i almost trew the phone on the ground.
so if i get one i want to be sure i will have a touchscreeen that works. and doesn't make me mad!

Don't tell people not to buy the phone off the back of one guy's bad experience. If you do some research you'll find that touchscreen issues have been solved with a ts driver update (for those very few people that had problems).

The One plus just launched 5 days back in India ( I know, its 5 months late). A friend of mine ordered the phone and it looks like an absolute peach!!
Don't get me wrong, I've turned down a swap for a new Iphone 6 with my phone, with there seems to be something about the One Plus!! I love my phone, but is the One Plus better ?
All its specs are better than the Nexus 5 on paper, but I wanna know if you guys have used them both and whats your view on it. If I sell my Nexus ( which turn 1 yr on 25 Dec), it'll get the same price as for a new One Plus, so do the economics of switching make sense?
Many Thanks

Hardware wise the OnePlus is the better one clearly, software wise (the relationship between OnePlus and Cyanogenmod is kinda cooling off) i think the Nexus 5 has the better firmware. Especialy if the Oppo software (color rom) may be implemented on the OPO in the future, though development may compensate that off course. Me personaly i prefer a phone that i can buy instead of hoping on a invite and i don`t know how complaints and defects are beeing handled by the chinese company. Check out the OnePlus One Forum here on XDA for more info.
Oneplus' warranty return process is a bit of a joke apparently. @Theshawty can attest to that. That said, he's had both and would probably say get the OPO. Not sure what it will be like for AOSP though.

I have a few friends who have invites with them, so that's not the issue. Like you pointed I am wary of how the customer service will be. Never had to use LG's service though, haven't had to send this to the shop!!
Any color on how the device is to use ? Usually the hardware specs are only 50% of the job done, phones usually pop up with small problems when using them everyday that you don't get in the instruction manual!!
Would be great to hear some guys who have used both
Stikc with da N5 bro
I own both, both are great phones but 1+ is a better phone. Stock CM11 software works like a champ. No issues. Bigger screen, great camera, very elegant big phone, 64g memory. You can also run experimental lollipop but in US/Canada everyone has a problem with VM notification, kinda works in Europe. Glitches remain. Overall - get One Plus.
Obviously between the two, the one plus one is the better buy (bang for the buck)

Ive had the OPO and decided to go back to my N5. The best thing i found about the OPO is the battery life, its an absolute beast, but i am not a fan of the software on it. I know its cyanogen mod, but theres so many bugs and glitches that it just doesn't do it for me as a daily driver. The other reason i sold it is because of the size. OPO might only seem like a tad bigger, but i hated not being able to use it with 1 hand.
Ended up selling it, going back to the N5. Not happy about the battery life, but its stable, comes from a reputable company and warranty is great. Thats another thing, if you need to RMA the product you'll fine quite the wait.

I had to make the same decision a few weeks back and decided to go with the N5, reasons:
(1) Phone size: The N5 feels better in my hand, OPO is too big (my hands are not small )
(2) OS: I wanted to go with stock Android, hence N5 easier choice, whereas you can flash stock Android also to OPO I assume
(3) OPO itself: OPO just launched and its their first phone, hence customer service etc. is not that great (you got XDA though for help), the phone itself is better than the N5 hardware wise
At the end I chose the N5 with the thought that I normally use any phone 2-3 years and I would estimate that the One Plus Two (or whatever name it will have) will launch some time end of next year/beginning of 2016, hence fits into this timeline.
btw: also thought about N6, but same issue with size (and price tag)

I'd say the OnePlus One IF (and only IF) you can get a fault free version. Their warranty return process (and the whole "support") is a joke.
It would be a side grade at best. However if you don't one hand your phone and want something bigger it might be worth the swap. More battery and more storage space (64GB version) are the advantages, the SoC is a tad faster but nothing you would notice as N5 is already as fluid as it gets.
Thanks guys, I think I'll wait for a bit and try to use my friends One Plus for a few days. But seems the general opinoin is to stick with the Nexus
I'm using OPO n it's amazing earlier used Nexus4. as many said already 5.5in may be a bit big in size but after using a day r two u'll love the display of 5.5 in.
I'm fully satisfied with OPO. Don't know guys who said OPO is too big what they say about Nexus6

Hi Everyone
I'm looking to upgrade from a Oneplus 3. Previously it was a great price for good specs.
I noticed the magic 3 whilst looking at YouTube and the specs look amazing.
1 - Interested to know of those who have had it for a while would you recommend getting it?
2 - what are the main annoying factors about the phone?
3 - Are there any others in the price range I should consider? I mostly play pubg, do retoo gaming and watch films with my existing phone
Many thanks in advance
Jamie
1 - Difficult to answer....if you're not into rooting and customizing,but happy with a basic Android experience and raw power,you should buy it......otherwise,if you want 100% flagship bells and whistless for half the price,you'll have to search futher,as this phone does not 'has it all' for just €479.
2 - For me,the most annoying thing is that there's much more to squeeze out of the camera,if Nubia's app would match the capabilities......but hopefully, there will be a working Gcam release in the near future.
3 - Xiaomi Mi 9....but I fell for the RM3.....
Many thanks for the reply, I don't mind rooting if necessary.
Also happy with a basic android experience as my oneplus was pretty much that when it first came out.
Thanks for the suggestion I will look into that also ??

I can tell the battery backup is awesome. Only problem I have is the gaming buttons are too annoying when playing a video.
I have it unrooted without gapps and IMO its better then some flagships. Reason is the big screen and the big battery and the stereo sound.
Also I prefer metal over Glas backside. And NO Notch.
The camera is better than that on my Xiaomi mi mix 3.
this phone is amazing, the only bad thing i see it had is not hdmi usb-c to support
I would wait for two main reasons:
1) Asus is going to announce their new ROG phone at the end of this month. While it will probably be a good deal more expensive, It might have some cool features
2) Nubia just announced they are going to release an 855 Plus version of this phone.

Thing is,no matter how long you wait ,there will always be something better on the horizon after your purchase.......no matter which device you've bought...
Hi,
Considering the price and the specs, I think the Red Magic 3 is about the best phone you can have nowadays.
If you buy it, you should consider two things :
- Chinese UI has a lot of features but is ugly and themes are mostly paid ones ;
- Europe/US/Asia ROM has ZERO features.
Once I recovered from the disappointment, the second solution was clearly what I was looking for.
So here is my advice :
- take the Europe/US/Asia version and flash it to your device (if it doesn't ship with that as stock)
- unlock the bootloader
-root your phone.
All this is done in like 4/5 minutes...
Once done, install all apps to add the required features.
You will have a phone that has ONLY THE FEATURES YOU WANT.
No bloat, no unnecessary stuff...
A dream come true
Of course, it comes with a price : once rooted, you will get OTA notifications but won't be able to install them...
Regards.

True
If you live in North America, I'd steer clear of this company.
I ordered one of their phones last week. I still have yet to receive my shipping notice. I ordered it with priority shipping, and according to their website, it should have shipped within 24 hours of payment.
4 days after it failed to ship, I contacted support, and was told "Be patient". Ever since then, they've stopped responding to emails. They won't give me any sort of clue as to when my order will ship. Apparently this is a frequent occurrence with Red Magic.
They're one of those companies that are only interested in getting devices out to reviewers, everyone else is to fend for themselves.
The support page on their website doesn't work. Apparently they didn't pay for it. Nubia cannot give any answers either, they just argue back in forth in the support email with several of the employees arguing about who's job it is to deal with.
If you ever receive a phone from them, and have an issue, good luck with that. Their current company (if you can call it that) shows that can't deal with supporting their devices. They can't even deal with fulfilling orders.
Stay far far away from this company, for you own good.
Is there likely to significant difference between the 8gb and 12gb ram? I think I'm going to get it but wonder if it's worth the extra money. Also just seen they mentioned the magic 4 by the end of the year. So maybe prices will come down
Well I'm in N.A. and I bought it from the site day it released. Great phone, few bugs at the moment and its a gaming phone at heart with stock Android, easily customizable. Honestly any game task you throw at it handles like a boss. It's an emulation dream with built in buttons. My controller and case should arrive the 22nd and I'm sure it will be great. I can tell you any Bluetooth controller works well on it too. The choice to buy is up to you, basically do you want a gaming phone or something else.
I have had this for two days in the USA and I love it. Usually I have buyer's remorse and would be looking for a new phone by now so I can say it really is great. Battery life is better than my S9 with a Mophie pack so far. Even with playing with it constantly I can't kill it in one day and usually my S9 needs to be plugged in by late afternoon. I have not rooted it yet, and may not. I love a clean version of Android. Not sure why people think that is bad. All the random customization sometimes comes with a speed cost. This phone is just plain fast. Usually I root to get rid of crap so you can see where I stand. If you hate big heavy phones, don't buy it. That is the negative. I had a ZTE Axon 7 and updates were slow so that's another negative. Other than that, super fast, great screen, great battery, strong data signal...it's a buy. Reminds me of the original OnePlus, or the Axon. Phones that were surprising values, but were big and heavy.

I'm coming from the OnePlus 3(T) as well, looking for a new device. What I didn't like at the Oneplus were the original ROM (luckily Lineage helped a lot) and the sound and position of the speaker. I loved the front facing stereo speakers of my HTC One (m7) years ago.
So I'm thinking of purchasing the RM3, but at the moment there are no alternative ROMS. Another device I'm looking at is the Black Shark 2, but situation with ROMs and support seems to be even worse.
For the RM3, I have concerns, if a fan inside a mobile will really last for some years, or break down at some time...
I also had the 3T and 1 and the 6T obviously this is just a better phone due to the increases in tech. No way to tell on the fan, I will say...and not sure how ZTE vs it's company Nubia will work, but my Axon 7 had a couple of screen issues due to my dropping it and the speaker stopped working, not sure if it was due to that and ZTE fixed it every time free of charge within the first year. I was very happy with their service on that phone. ROM support will be lacking but it's a clean version of Android so I prefer that

To me...a clean, lean ROM, which the US version is, rooted with Magisk and other mods I choose myself is always the best option. Some custom ROMs can get pretty bloated themselves

It depends on what you are looking for an what you want to do?
If you are a person who is happy with stock ROMs an just leaves cellphones in the state they are in out of the box then yes buy it.
However if you are a person who likes tinkering modifications an custom ROMs the please do not buy this cellphone.
I tried to install TWRP over 2 months ago an got stuck in a fastboot bootloop. Every xda suggestion to fix this plus paying a cellphone repair center an trying heaps of suggestions an it's still non functional.
It has horrible software an is rediculously sensitive to any and all attempts to FLASH ANYTHING.
If red magic 3s break you might never be able to fix them at a software level.
Mine lives in a bag by my bed to remind me not to bite off more than I can chew.
I have a xiaomi Mi9 now an have no real issues with it.
Good luck with your decision
So the options are to buy on Ali are with a stock Global Rom or a Chinese ROM. I see some other posts about people flashing to the Chinese one. Is that the best option to choose? I take it you can still select the language as English and support here etc? Thanks for everyone's responded it's been really helpful. I was thinking of holding out for the 855plus but not sure if I can afford which will be most likely an additional cost for it.
I also have the same question but mine is a bit different. Im convinced i am going to buy it but...
Should i buy it now or wait for the 855+ version? Idc if its gonna be a bit more expensive

I would of thought it would be more expensive as they still have the original to sell. Probably will stick another £100 on it or so I reckon ?
