- Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (SD 636) (4GB RAM +64GB)
Meizu Pro 7 (MTK P25) (4GB RAM +64GB)
What i like on this phone is the back of this phone, with the secondary screen and it have a unique look with on both side a AMOLED screen.
What i have seen on reviews is that the phone have a nice unibody and good build quility and make good photo's.
The screensize of the Meizu Pro 7l is 5.2 inch and it's little smaller then what i am used too (Oneplus One with 5.5 inch). It will fit better in my pockets.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (SD 636) (4GB RAM +64GB)
When i saw the new upgraded version of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus i was almost sold till Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note 5 with the Snapdragon 636.
This phone have a screen size of 5.99 inch and it's larger then then the Oneplus One with 5.5 inch. I like the way how the screen looks with the small rounded corners of the screen and the small borders of the phone. Does a 5.99 inch with a flip case fit in your pocket?
Maybe it's just too big but overall i like the performence, photo's and support of this phone.
What would you say?
Is 5.2 inch to small?
Is 5.99 inch to big?
How's the performence between the Meizo Pro 7 and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5?
How is the camera between these phones?
Big differences between MTK P25 and SD 636?
Wich company have the best support?
Hope someone can help me out to pick a new one. Just want a phone for daily use with smooth performance with multi-tasking. thanks in advance!

That some are big time scammers i will agree but how do you know about this particular phone? Have you held it in your palms/hands?
Anybody buy this phone?
Its still on pre-sale.
I just received this phone yesterday. Quality built is pretty good, very solid and fast. But for some reason I don't get 4G LTE from tmobile, screen only shows 3G. But their advertising the phone have 4G LTE band.
Mine works fine on EE 4G. There's a forum section specially for the p7000 and there's a support chap from elephone who pops up every now and again.

Nexus 5 2015 hits AnTuTu, Scores A Mind Boggling 85,530!

According to recent reports, we may see two Nexus devices this year , one made from Huawei and another one from LG. It looks like one of the Nexus devices just made an entry in the AnTuTu benchmarking site, blowing everyone’s mind with a score of more than 85000!

If you remember, the Samsung Exynos 7420 chipset is currently on top of AnTuTu with 65000+ points. However, with a score of over 85,000 this Nexus device beats Samsung’s chip by over 20,000 points.
This brings us to the big question, what exactly is running inside this Nexus device? Well, AntuTu 5 doesn’t reveal much about the specs inside the device, but the phone probably will come with the new Snapdragon 820 chip from Qualcomm. While the score is still too good to be true, considering Qualcomm’s desperate need for a comeback with 820, the company could have boosted its performance to a whole new level.
What we do know is that the phone will be called as the Nexus 5 (2015) model , which probably means that LG is not sticking with the incremental naming policy. Also, this may also give us a clue about the screen size, as you can expect it to be around 5-inches (5.2-inch would be just perfect). The Nexus 6 came with a monstrous 5.9-inch display, but it was too big to handle. So, this could actually be a good move. The resolution is surprisingly just FHD, which would be a downgrade from the QHD display on the Nexus 6.
Anyways, if the performance of Snapdragon 820 is really this good, we would like to know whether it overheats like the current generation 810. But we hope Qualcomm will have learnt its lesson by now.
Usually, Google announces its Nexus devices in fourth quarter of the year and we expect the company to continue the tradition this year too. By then, there could be a couple of Snapdragon 820 powered smartphones like Xiaomi Mi5 in the market. So, things could get interesting pretty soon!

New opponent on the way...

Maybe you heard about it...
Meizu is releasing mx5 pro mini soon...
This is what I believe will be the best Mi4c's opponent... Anyone here had or has any meizu to share the experience of having a meizu vs a xiaomi...
A while ago I've been tempted to buy the mx4 but for some reason I was afraid to go for it while for the Mi4c I didn't even think twice... I had to buy it no matter what... Maybe I'm a weird guy
Hmm it's just rumours though, I wonder what the final specs be. Won't beat Mi4C software-wise anyways because Meizu locks all of their roms and the bootloader :\.
Is that the 4.7" phone? 1080p screen but mediatek cpu
A friend of mine owned the MX4 Pro. He said the biggest downside was the Flyme OS. It used to have so many bugs.
But specswise it was a great phone. Even the fingerprint sensor used to be one of the fastest.
I have Meizu Note 2 and it's good. There's an option for it to be rooted so it's kind of easy and it's affordable,too.
Mediatek MT6797 Helio X20 look like an interesting SOC. The top performance is pretty much defined by the 2xCortex-A72 and Mali-T880 MP4 at Antutu score at 70,000.
I am more interested in the efficiency of the Tri-cluster. http://heliox20.com/ has some really nice graphical info

Tri-cluster:
Yes till now only rumours... But if these specs are real it'll be another nice machine... And the X20 looks powerful... But I also think I've seen somewhere and it will cost more than Mi4c... But definitely is nice to still have smaller but powerful devices because not everyone likes 5.5/6.0 phablets... To me, 5.0" is perfect size if fited in a compact body like Mi4c.
Anyway, so it means that there isnt much to do regarding costumization in meizu's? That's a NO GO for me... :/
Custom roms would be non existent like Samsung's exynos based phones
That phone will cost at least $400 and at least $500 to import. It isn't an opponent of the Mi4c, it is an opponent of the Mi Note Pro.

I dont think it'll cost that much... That's not price for a brand like meizu in that category... I've read that it's around 300 and if it's the case it will the 3gb version's opponent... Anyway, IMO it will be very hard to beat the Mi4c... This phone is just too good to be true... I wouldn't swap my mi4c for any phone available in the marke right know... And I mean no phone really...
I think it's not a direct opponent of 4c. It'll also cost more.

What should I buy Meizu PRO 5 or Huawei Mate 8?

Hi people from XDA,
I'm in a dilemma, I'm in china and I want to buy a new phone between this 3/4 the Meizu PRO 5, the Huawei Mate 7/8 and the OPPO R7 Plus.
I can get the Meizu PRO 5 64gb ROM, 4gb RAM for 430 Euros (Should I get the 4gb RAM version or with 3gb is enough? I don't mind about the storage)

The Mate 7 (32gb ROM and 3gb RAM) and Mate 8(32gb ROM and 3gb RAM) are the same price (460 euros) I don't know why.
The OPPO R7 Plus (32gb ROM and 3gb RAM) for 460 euros.
So please guys tell me which one of those would be the best to buy, and If you know other interesting phones with a similar price that you think are better than the previous mentioned, don't doubt in recommending it.
Thanks a lot

The youtube channel Geek Love has performed a comparison between 7 popular mid range smartphones:
Jiayu S3+
Doogee F5
Ulefone power,
Oukitel K6000 Pro
Leagoo Elite 1
Umi touch
Elephone P8000
These phones share some similar specifications, as they all have the MT6753 chip, 3GB of RAM, 13MP&5MP cameras. In this video, we see comparisons about:
Design–Back cover & frame materials, buttons
Display–Brightness, color temperature
Screens–Anti-fingerprint coating
Software–OS
Battery–Battery life, battery capacity
Quick charging–Input power
Hardware–Sensors, Storage
Performance–Antutu scores
You can see the whole test in the video below but meanwhile we did a small comparison chart so you can see all details faster:
Here is the full video:
why did u forget great mid-range like these:
redmi note 3
redmi 3
le eco 1s
honor 5x
oneplus x
Le eco 1s eco is a bull **** I am using the phone the ui is crappy also it is full of bloatware.no improvement even after the update provided actually its injecting more bloatware.
Will suggest not to buy this phone

I would definitely recommend Elephone. Had a chance to play wit it for some time and its a great overall phone.
Android phone is really cheaper and cheaper
The letv team is launching a new phone every month this makes me more assured that the buyers are not going to get support for these phones .the ui is buggy and crappy .camera app is worst than a 5k handset they have huge amount of bloatware already loaded that even 3 GB ram is insufficient to handle those terrorists.rather than addressing these issues they are launching new buggy handsets.my advise is to stay away from this manufacturer

i would prefer elephone.
i tried elephone s1 and it really looks cool and stylish. downside is, the battery, it can only last up for a day.
