OK .... So now I'm thoroughly confused.
I ordered both the Mate 9 and the Mate 9 Pro (because of Amazon generous return policy). Initially I got the Mate 9 because of price.
The first disappointment is that the Mate 9 Pro apparently had only dual SIM sorry and NO micro SD ??? Is that correct? Why in the heck would they limit you like that?
More importantly and I can't get a clear answer ..... Do the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro have different cameras ??? Huawei customer support was thoroughly confusing!! Anyone have hands on comparison of the 2 devices. I could probably survive only 128gb of storage of the camera is truly different and better!
You are right. Pro dont have microsd slot, only dual-sim and 128gb memory (6gb ram). Camera's is same on both. Only differences betweed Mate 9 and Pro is memory and screen.

That's what it appeared on the specs BUT ..... the Huawei support person acted like cameras were different .. Also there is a Chinese (sounds like) YouTube video that compares Mate 9 to Mate 9 Pro and shows much worse images with the Mate 9

Does he/she shows pictures straight from mobile screen to video camera or?... I have used both and opened both phones and they definetely had same camera. I havent noticed any differences with picture quality. Of there really is differences then its caused by firmware, maybe pro has tweaked more?

Hi!
I'm just a user on android phones and really would love if someone made a ROM for Doogee Mix 2. There is already a rom for Doogee Mix, but as I ordered a mix2, would love to have a clean rom for it...
Here's the Mix2 on banggood: https://www.banggood.com/DOOGEE-MIX-2-5_99-Inch-6GB-RAM-64GB-ROM-Helio-P25-Octa-Core-4G-Smartphone-p-1201795.html
The device official page: http://www.doogee.cc/detail/mix-series-bezel-less-smartphone/122
Please consider the development as the device, for the price, is affordable and has got good features
Thanks
I'm also waiting for doogee mix 2
It seems a very nice phone .
First of all we need a TWRP recovery to root it with Magisk .
I hope some developer will work on this device
Hope so! I'm crossing my fingers
I got it for a while now i am waiting for custom roms too hope we will have some developer make it for us in USA this phone only work for T-Mobile not support AT&T a little bit disappointed
Hi, I agree with you. I've received mine for about 2 weeks now. It really is a great phone. I also hope for a custum rom to be developped on it
Oukitel mix 2 seems like a better choice over the Doogee Mix 2. What do you guys think?
Oukitel Mix 2 looks also nice (more like Mi Mix 2) but cameras seem to be worse and casing of doogee mix and doogee mix 2 is very strong and tough. I've got Doogee Mix, which is a very good phablet (but I don't like selfie cam downside). Doogee Mix 2 has perfect quality, perhaps a little bit heavy.
Yes, USA has got many developers and if the phone won't work correctly in USA, there's a chance they won't make anything... but there's also other countries developer's. Hope someone develop a clean ROM for it!
@ahorntaler @allincheung here's a comparison... in general terms, Doogee Mix2 has got a 10/10 tho, I like oukitel very much also, has better resolution screen and other advantages... but i bought the doogee and i'd like very much to have a clean ROM for it I know the doogee has got face recognition unlock.. that's something to add up to the comparison....

Hi @yox2580, i'll answer as soon as i get mine already ordered but waiting for te delivery... about 20th january !! Best regards mate!
This is the factory image for MIX 2 https://romprovider.com/2017/12/firmware-doogee-mix-2/
this might work for rooting
i have heard that some guys managed to root their phone using superSU and placing it on a sd card and from the stock rekovery using update from sd card but that might just be a lie i dont know and sorry for the bad english
For now, there is yet no alternative, clean and function-adding ROM for the doogee mix 2 here at xda... because of the christmas bustle i dont have yet mine delivered, but i hope i can get it soon

Sorry to put this query here. Even i haven't got any place to right it down. I also have a same problem. Rear camera not working. Bought this phone specially for camera specifications. When will be the updates release to make the second rear camera work. Even 8 MP Nokia camera takes better picture than this 16 MP. And there are many bugs. Many apps crashes. And on YouTube I have seen many videos which shows many camera app showing 4k video recording option, but I think that was after update and I still haven't received it.i show that video 1 month back

Hello Nex-Fans,
Vivo has announced the first OS update for our device which improves the overall, the game, camera and fingerprintscanner performance.
Source:
Gizchina
Thanks! I suppose we will get that automatically (when checked in update settings), but thanks anyway for notifying it here.
Despiter updates(there's even newer update than those at first page) the underscreen display scanner remain problematic according to fresh reviews from android authority.
https://www.androidauthority.com/vivo-nex-review-875140/
Hopping retail unit perfom better.
Saw many reviews and tests on YouTube and nobody has mentioned such problems with the Fingerprintscanner. I think this will be a "Pre-Release-Device" problem.

Damn that's a really scathing review especially re. the software and OS. Makes me kind of disinterested tbh, because the UX sounds like a ****ing hassle
I'm not so negative ... In my opinion it's a very early stage of the device and i think some points are related to the Pre-Release-Device he has. On the software side i think it's only a question of time until there are some other options.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro and know what i'm talking about. The ZUI interface was only crap but now it's running AOSP Android 8.1 and i'm really really happy with the device. It's better then my S8 was.
Yes but the kicker is as always, does the bootloader get unlocked... I don't know about Vivo and their practices on this.
I actually received my second update on my Nex already... and while the fingerprint reader can be finicky it has worked well (one thing that helped was adding both thumbs 2times)

Any idea (translation) of what it actually encompassed?
only thing i have noticed a improvement on is the Fingerprint reader(seems much more consistent) , the camera seems to focus better and give slightly better results. Also the three bars at the bottom of the home screen are at the absolute bottom now and much wider.

I go back and forth seemingly daily. I lust for the hardware, it is to me the next step on the path to OLED in-display cameras, but that bizarre Android iOS clone nonsense they have going on is pushing me away. Funtouch sounds like a waking nightmare.
I currently have a Mi Mix 2, and already the rumor mill is in full swing re. the Mix 3. Google Mi Mix 3 and check out some early leaks, they are rumored to follow the Nex style. Admitted MIUI is not all that great either, but at least Xiaomi is a bit more dev friendly on releasing the kernels etc. And sorry for the hijack

Does anybody have the issue that Rn7pro camera has good color reproduction but the images are not sharp. And the camera is stuttering when taking pictures inside the room in day time. The selfies are very disappointing that they are not even sharp to zoom in a little. Is this normal or kind of particular to me?

so there will be no custom roms for x5?
Would help if Xda opened a sub forum for the non pro model.
Yeah. I know this device just launched 5 weeks ago, but if I'd suspected the X5 5G would get so little love here at XDA, I might've gotten the X4 Pro instead...
I'm actually looking into compiling my own TWRP recovery for it, and an AOSP ROM when I've learned enough about custom ROM development.
Is there any way to request XDA consider opening a forum for a particular phone?

Well I guess you could PM one of the admins/mods, but final decision would be up to their goodwill (or lack thereof), evidently.
It would make a lot of sense to create a dedicated forum though, as the X5 is powered by the Snapdragon695 and not a 7xx series as the X5 Pro is, which *probably* means that ROMs for the latter wouldn't be flashable on the former -not without incurring risks anyway...

There's usually a firmware, boot and vendor img difference which does make it incompatible, in most cases, and would need some tweaking to make it work right. But you're welcome to give it a test run, learn from experience. There are times with OEMs are lazy and it does actually work.

even for custom ROMs? Incase the X5 does't gain popularity (which seems to be the way it's going), I was wondering if we could use custom ROMs for X4 pro in the future.

Yep. It's uncommon to be able to use a different device's ROM even when the specs are similar. Unless you're using a gsi. It takes a while before custom roms start appearing after a phones release. Debloat and use as is would be my recommendation till then, if you already bought the phone. The Pro version is also likely to be more popular, among the enthusiast community, from what I can see.
So there's likely to be some trickle down effect of roms from the Pro versions to the non-pro

Which is ironic, because the X5p does not have any kind of possibility of storage expansion by SDcard (while the vanilla X5 does provide a shared SIM/SD slot), making even the 256Gb version utterly useless for my use cases...

To be fair, it's been a while since I've seen anything that has the 7 series chipsets to have a hybrid or dedicated SD slot. Just how the market playing field is, once you enter the mid-high range. Not great for the customer but that's capitalism for ya.
The Poco X5 5G may not be as popular as the Pro, but it's actually a very smooth phone if you don't play demanding games. Just received Android 13 update last night. My biggest gripe is the MIUI, which I don't like. After installing Nova7, the user interface is a lot more familiar and better.

For daily use, it is quite smooth, the camera performance is trash though. GCam fixes most of it but the videos are still grainy. The X5 might be catching on now as it has received a big discount on an e-commerce platform recently. Nova or Lawnchair makes the experience pleasing but you miss out the gesture navigation which is a bummer.
Hello!
Is it possible to turn off the images of the camera settings in the Portrait mode of the Poco X5 5G/Poco X5 Pro 5G?
If possible, then it would be possible to shoot video in video bokeh mode.
My phone turned itself off today. Has anyone had this issue before?

Seconded !
I've used the Microsoft Launcher for a long while before I bought the X5 5G a week after its global launchdate, but in the long run on MIUI 13 it turned out to be just too goddamn much of a battery hog...
So upon reading a comment from another member here that he was very satisfied with Nova I decided to give it a try, and felt so at ease with it that barely 20mins passed before I bought the Premium version. xD
But I do sorely miss the MS launcher's leftmost pane tho (the one where you can take quick notes and display your Outlook calendar, which is what I used it most for). :/

Yup. I traced it down to a dirty fingerprint sensor : some oil or grease traces would make it wrongly detect a long press or multiple short presses and trigger a shutdown.
A good, energetic cleaning with a rubbing alcohol-imbibed tissue then a thorough drying fixed it right up!
Any new news on custom roms? I want to get the phone on sale but I dread using MIUI
