Hi,
Curretnly i'm on the G3 and i dont like it much.
Thinking on 1 of these:
Xiaomi Mi4C
Asus Zenphone 2
Now, I asking that in Mi 4C Thread bc's i thinking that there is some people that might had this.
What do you think?
Thanks!
It comes down to preference really as I dont really like phones bigger than 5" and xiaomi is quite established. Its got the right size, ir blaster and a good SOC which should get good rom support, cm12.1 already available
Where are you based? The Global version of the Zenphone 2 has band 20 which the Mi 4c doesn't have (may be able to be unlocked manually but I'm doubtful). The Zenphone also has expandable storage which the Mi 4c lacks - you may already be used to this and the larger form factor due to currently using the G3. That said, I've heard (but cannot personally verify) that the Zenphone has erratic battery life and performance in addition to being more expensive than the Mi 4c.
ermacwins & wingsfortheirsmiles,
I got used to 5.5" so this is not an issue at all...
I from Israel and LTE bands are 1800 & 2600.
So from my understanding, both of them would work, right?
32gb are more than I need, so the expandable storage is not too important.
If the Zenphone do has erratic battery life and performance, it's a good reason to go for the Mi4C, isn't?
Anyone else suffered or heard on it?
Thanks very much!

Well, my Mi4C had battery drain. Around 3%/hour on idle with WiFi and 4G all off, so when I woke up a third of my battery was already gone. I ended up fixing it by flashing the international ROM but after that, I've been getting 5 hours of SoT which is great. Can't comment on the battery of the Zenfone.
Regarding the battery problem:
Looks like it could different between your's to anyone else.
I read a review in a site in my country and the person who made the review praise the battery life.
Thanks!
My Mi4c has very good battery life. The same like the z1 compact i had. Other phones i had i charged sometimes more than 2 times a day.
The zenfone 2 has worse battery life, build quality and performance. If you don't mind the SD card and 5" screen then the Mi4C is your phone. Zenfone 3 could be very interesting when (should be kinda soonTM) it gets released though!
Thank you all!
Go for the Mi4C.
P.S: A newer model of Mi series also coming soon?
How abt Redmi note 3?
No battery issue with my Mi4C. Left it idle for most part of the day with cellular and Wi-Fi connected the whole time and managed 0.7% / hour idle time. I also have many apps installed (not facebook or any messaging apps though). It's rooted and greenified, running original stable Chinese Miui 7 Rom with some Chinese bloat apps removed. It's also scoring 52K on antutu 6.

Processing power wise, ZenFone 2 (the high end 32 GB internal memory with 4 GB RAM model) is comparable to Mi4C, the GPU is even slightly better. However, when it comes to video recording, ZenFone is waaaaay below Mi4C. The still image, if you use latest firmware, is already fixed though. Note that due to the use of Intel processor, some apps that use native libraries might not be installable. Ensure your apps are architecture-neutral or have both arm and intel version available.
OTOH, Mi4C has thermal issues and I still can't find the best thermal configuration so far. This causes the cores, both CPU and GPU, get shutted down or their upper limit is decreased to lower down the temperature. I break this limit by changing the limit a little bit higher, but if you play games while charging the phone, my best record reaches 90° C. Hot enough for a sleep killer tea
Happy deciding!
Having owned both phones i can say the Zen2 is a dud. The screen is dim, the speaker is weak, some apps drain crazy battery as they are using an ARM emulator to run on x86. It wobbles on the desk and the battery dies after your lunch break. The camera has low exposure that makes everything look darker than it is. The Mi4c just works like you expect a flagship to do.

I dont believe in 90° C unless your phone is borked and termal throttling doesnt work, also phone would shut down anyway with that temperature.

It is, well the screenshot I have is 87 actually in one of the many thermal zone (they're all varying from 60 or so) but during that time I did see and feel 90 (as a hot tea drinker, I know how hot is 90). Thankfully I have a flip cover that absorbs the heat, but if you touch the scree, it's really damn hot. Thermal throttling doesn't work on my device, because I've disabled the thermal driver :cyclops:
I don't really know the actual upper limit, but I guess it should be around 100-120. My PC was 120, but I don't think smartphone's SoC will differ much.

Hahaha, worry not, it's been back to normal temp (30-50). The problem only happens if you play resource intensive games while charging.
My last phone Mi4i also reached ~90°C after playing with the thermal engine. The flashlight turned on in the pocket of my pants and burned for half an hour. I just noticed it because my leg got hotter and hotter luckily the phone wasnt damaged through this. Also, i think the CPU can handle these temperatures without being damaged, but i would worry about other phone components such as SD Card, battery or glued components
Sorry, my antutu 6 score for my Mi4c was 685xx, not 52k.

In my case it was 10-12 hrs. LTE and safe battery mode ON.

Hi, I'm looking at the H1 to do me for 6 months when I'll pick up the Nexus 6P successor, how did you find it? I've read a few reviews online but not much information about prolonged use. I'm coming from a galaxy note 4 (now broken) and have never owned a mid range smartphone so I'm unsure what to expect. does it run smoothly with a few apps open? app switching? multiple chrome tabs open? a few games here and there (not the most demanding of games though).
thanks
First, you have to remember that Cubot H1 has a MTK quad-core processor clocked 1 MHz. I think it's not the same league as processors in SG Note4 or Nexus 6P . Secondly, I can't live without root access. I use Greenify application, which makes RAM usage between 500MB - 1GB . I have installed 3 games : Angry Birds - Transformer, Traffic Rider , NFS No Limits. No problems. The same with open few tab in Chrome browser. Smartphone still working as a first day. Personally, I have slowly looking around for a successor, but doesn't find worthy . Battery 5000mAh and 5,7' screen is the absolute min, LED notifications , dual-sim, SD card slot (no hybrid), blinking buttons below the screen, mini-jack, plus USB on the top of the unit. Cubot work with Android 5.1. Probably I would wait (on the new smartphone) for Android N. Are you checked Ulephone Power?
Hello,
In my case it was 10-12 hrs too
Yes.
Does it work?
Well, i decided to put thermal pad on the s2 plus where the cpu's are (on the motherboard). And that's what i did weeks ago.
The results : The phone has the heat reduced
Any improvement in performance?
The Samsung Galaxy S II Plus was my very first smartphone and the first one I ever rooted and flashed ROMs on. It's good to see people still tinkering with this amazing device.

A scale from 0 to 100%, i would say 15%.
It only cools the processor => better performance and battery.
If you want to apply it too, at the back on the motherboard there are 2 big chips. From the thermal pad, cut the EXACT (or closer) size as the chip. After apply, give it some time until it makes the magic :laugh:
Hey guys recently my battery suferring problems .
I found a battery in Ebay. I need to know about it .
Is betterer than original. I hope to put some coments here.
Expect it to be fake, in that in reality it probably won't be more mAh than original Quark 3900 mAh. A lot of Chinese companies do that, put more mAh in the battery properties than actual scientific measurements would validate. They do it to sell batteries against competition, and there's no one to punish them.
It WILL be a newer battery, so hope that solves your problems.
Let's hope it's at least 3900 mAh.

You recomend to buy original battery 3900mAh. I was thinking to buy an extra duration buy could cause problems to hot devices in long time.
I'll buy original battery
I guess

This battery that you mentioned does not change much. In fact, the Quark will continue to indicate 3900mAh with it. I bought a battery for about $ 15 on the internet 1 year ago, I even changed it. I'm not sure if it was original but it was identical to the original. Anyway, it still works great with android Oreo.

Amazing performance . 9 hours of screen
Thanks for your opinion. I really apreciate.
Whit the last ROM RR 02 only 4 hours of screen reach.
You have at least any configuration to reach 9 hours

OMG good performance.
Tell me your configuration in the kernel..
I doubt about the battery .
