When will this phone launch? Waiting impatiently . . .
Sent from my ZUK Z1 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Have read somewhere end of july or possibly begining of august.
I read for Europe it will be launched after "IFA 2016" which is 04.-09. September 2016.
News that it launches July 12 in Taiwan. No word on US release date, unfortunately. Hopefully soon.
Europe = mid august. Rest of the world before that.
Coming very soon...
India launch on 17th August 2016...Feeling Excited...!!!!!:laugh::highfive::good:

Is that the Zenphone 3 or Deluxe version? On the Asus website it said Zenfone 3. It did not specify deluxe.

The release is for the zenfone 3 but all the phones in the series are announced.
Is this going to be in the U.S.?
I wonder if it will have better community story. The Delux looks like it will be a beast.
No news in the UK. What's the point of announcing phones a full quarter or two before they're ready for launch?
The press release released today by Asus Mobile Singapore says that the Deluxe will hit the streets in Q4. My guess is October. The Zenfone 3 and the Zenfone 3 Ultra, on the other hand, are hitting the streets tomorrow (Aug. 27).

CORRECTION: I'm at the media launch event right now. Though the press release says that the Deluxe will be released Q4, the presenter announced that it will be available "Late September" at $998 and $1188 (Singapore Dollars) for the two variants.

My main concern is when will this roll out in the US. It has almost been four months since initial announcement at Computex 2016.
It's a mistake I think they just realized, given they moved up the timetable on releasing the Deluxe from *sometime* in Q4 to the end of Q3 -- and did this last minute, leaving the impression of a managerial push. So hopefully, Asus has learned its lesson this time around. Or maybe I should shut up because they may have a marketing expert who knows a much better reason to have done this exactly the way they did it. *shrug*

I am also concerned with the US release date. Any news on the pricing for the US? I'm torn between using this for a new project phone and the Zenfone 2 deluxe.

Project phone?
The Zenfone 2 Deluxe is already supported by CM. I wouldn't touch the Zenfone 2 Deluxe because of the Intel CPU. Intel has official put their smartphone processor's on ice. And i only hear complains about its power management.
The ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS570KL 6G/64G) is being released 2016/09/22;
ZenFone 3 Deluxe (ZS570KL 6G/256G) - both Gold & Silver models are being released 2016/09/30.
Still no news on UK release. Why announce a phone 6 months before it is ready for the market???!
I bought it a month ago in Spain.
Deluxe Snapdragon 820 with 64GB / 6GB Ram

Hi all,
I have 2 Yotaphones 2 (one for private use, one company). Great devises, especially the business use. Now my son's birthday is coming up and he wants a Yotaphone, too (no iPhone! . Does anyone know what happened to the yotaphone 3? It was announced to be released in Q1 this year in cooperation with ZTE to increase availability and reduce price. Since then (Q3 2015), nothing has happened.
Does anyone know more?
Cheers

Based on a few Russian articles I found, it would seem that their new Chinese overlords were not willing to take the risk launching Yotaphone 3 during the original Summer of 2016 launch window. And now that the window has closed, so they have to renew the device specs to match the market. The new estimate would be Summer of 2017 earliest.
Source: http://izvestia.ru/news/632694 (you can get the main idea with Google Translate)
It was confirmed by yota that it's in development. Probably it will be available this year (2017)
The Instagram account of Yota Devices unexpectedly displayed a new post in early march mentioning the 3rd generation of their device :
https://www.slashgear.com/the-yotaphone-3-is-still-coming-or-so-it-seems-06477241/
That's all we get since the time they abruptly went in silent service.
A five inch colour e-ink screen would truly be aweinspiring
With latest news it seems that Chinese stakeholders don't want to put their money for the launching of YotaPhone 3 as of now (which russians have already developed-designed). Hence, postponing its launch obliges YotaDevices to re-do from scratch the designed YotaPhone 3, because hardware components become old rapidly.
Yesterday I saw a YD206 for 95€ on AliExpress and I think it's worth it, expecially with the MM update coming out.
Do you guys know what the teaser on the website is about? Could it really be the Yotaphone 3? I honestly didn't expect that any more.
https://yotaphone.com/ru-ru/
Waiting for Yotaphone 3 Hisense annunce A2 Ace, i find some information on the web and wrote here.

There have been a number of rumors around other dual screen phones, none of which I've seen on the market yet. At some point even the Xiami Mi4 was supposed to come with dual screen...
at youtube - hisense a2 at ces 2017
seeing their EPD, got ghosting and black is still "gray". maybe later they will improve it.
for me compare to yotaphone 2 more better but until MM update.. more ghosting..
but for yotaphone 3 teaser image, shape nearly same with hisense a2..
Ok, so the design of yota3 is kind of iphonenish...

Just got the Yotaphone 3 as a gift. Has dual SIM slots (2nd SIM doubles as a TF card).
I can install Google package from it's appstore BUT can't get contact to sync with Google; Google contact apps doesn't work properly.
The 2nd screen only works with Kindle China version only (can log in with US account).
Overall an intriguing phone but not practical for me unless there's a non-China version.
I just received the hisense a2 from China here in United States. And. It seems to work quite well on att with the option to mirror full android on eink. If you cannot mirror the main screen on the eink screen in yp3 this is a mistake in the software design. Yp2 offered full android on the eink side In their latest russian firmware.
I have just bought the Yotaphone 3, however I can't mirror the main screen onto the eink screen of my Yota 3. I have the Yotaphone 2, so would there by a way to port the Yotahub/Yotacover/Yotapanel apps from the 2 to the 3? Also, all the instructions are in Chinese which is slightly annoying. Do you think the mirroring function would be added later by an update? Thanks
Possible YP3 Changes.
Depends on if the same developers (as YP2) are responsible for the updates in YP3 (HK).
In YP2, they prioritized RU versions (not the HK version). But some of the firmware changes/useful addons over time were significant with EU/HK and especially RU.
With the new CN/RU partnership, who knows. I am waiting until someone (preferably in English) demonstrates a good software update with YP3 (and a decrease in price) before pulling the trigger.
Looking forward to the release of Note8 after last year's Note7 fiasco, currently on the S7edge. Hope to see guys from the Note7 India thread from last year. Please share your views & input.
Samsung Korea posted this video, looks like a dope camera on the Note8
So the S8+ is retailing at 64.5k, looks like the Note8 would debut at around 70k mark, that would be very very pricey & a deal breaker.

I am also planning to go for Note 8, currently on S7 Edge 128 GB version. Is there a word on if the Emperor Edition (256 GB) will be available in India. Also, what is the best way (financially) to swap S7 edge with note 8

don't known about the Note8 versions that would be launched, Samsung India is notoriously very lazy in releasing any details about any new launches. Last I took out the valuation of my 11 month old s7edge 32 GB, couple of guys quoted max 21k. The resale value really tanks after a few months.

Note 8 64gb for 74990rs... Will have black and gold intially... Will get purple by October mid/end...
I would say it's a deal breaker... And no prime edition to be launched 256g won't be intro'd as it's exclusive to South Korea.. and will be launched there by Sept end...

Thank you for the information. Hope that battery life is decent enough and they come up with a 128 GB version here.

A note with the Spen simply has no other alternative imo. Regarding cases & scree protectors still not many choices even on Amazon US.

Had a hands on with the device in Changi airport where I was transiting.
1. Hot damn. It feels huge in the hand(That's what she said ?) .
2. The s-pen is neat. Very responsive. Impressed.
3. The camera interface although elaborate seems to be a bit clunky and the the live focus is really aggressive. The potential is definitely there. Besides, the demo units might not be running the final retail version of the software.
4. Battery definitely a concern.
5. And the big one, the fingerprint scanner requires some unwanted hand gymnastics. Pretty sure, people will get used to it but it is by no means a simple one-handed device.
And the kicker ? The price at the Singapore airport is 61.5K (Amazon India is gonna sell it for 75k on launch day)
Waiting for Apple's event now...

Since all Samsung devices are Make in India stuff, why are the prices so high in India. Also Make in India is a big export initiative how will such pricy devises compete in exports where the prices are 20% off Indian prices.

I just returned my asus zenfone max plus to get the 3 zoom. Coming from a moto z play I missed the outrageous battery life so I'm excited to get the 3 zoom and test it out. Hearing it is getting Oreo is a plus as well. Sad to see there are no developers for it though
Update's been delayed until the end of June

hi everyone
i just wonder when we can get Android 8 oreo for Galaxy C7
such a smartphone with this performances 4G of ram, 64go internal memory, powerfull processor qualcomm 626 (8 X 2.02 ghz) ,1080p resolution.................
why theres no develepments for this device ?
no roms port no custom roms !
hope android 8 come soon
Oreo will not come for the C7. Samsung has a specific update policy. S, A and Note series are getting two major updates. The other series are either getting a major update or not at all. For example, the J series gets one major update. The C series is a local series. The C series is a special series to the far east. It is also now joined with the J series. The other name of C8 is J7+. As a result, if the J-series receives the single major update, the C-series also receives the single major update. The only major update of the C7 was Nougat.
Do not hope for Oreo.
ok i get it thank you so what about custom roms ported roms ?? also there's no development for it !!!

No!, C-series will have two major system update!
Samsung has recently post a notice in the Samsung Members app, the notice said that it will have Oreo update in October!
And also the what u said in your word, that all J-series won't have two major system update,but J7 Prime will have Oreo update too
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Today, I have a question and I got this answer. This is good news for us but there is always the possibility that Samsung can change this calendar. Because in the past, Samsung had deleted many devices in the Nougat update calendar and did not update them. They have already written that they can change it in the answer they give. All we can do is trust Samsung and wait to update.
By the way, the comments I made about the single update of the J series came up as a result of my observations. I have information about this in my country as a source at epey.com. The site is writing the first Android version and the latest Android version of the devices. If you take a good look, you will get something like: S, Note and A series devices are getting two major updates and the other series are either getting single updates or not updating at all.
The C series is a new series. For this reason I can not make a definite comment. But C8 is called J7 + in different countries. And since the J-series gets one big update, I think it's the C-series too.
In the old Nougat update calendar, many devices from series J would receive the second major update. But the times were all removed from the calendar. I said I should trust Samsung, but not trusting is the best option. We will be happy if the update comes, but we will not be sorry if it does not.

But what if Samsung change it's rules of system update?
Likes Apple, they maybe change their rules by giving two update on C and J series, and three update for S,Note and A series. Like what Apple did on their iPhones, they give their iPhones three iOS update, iPhone 5s get iOS 12!
So I think Samsung may change their rules by comparing to Apple

Apple was already giving more updates than 2 major updates. The iPhone 4S came out with iOS 5, but was updated up to 9.3. The iPhone 5 came out with iOS 6, but was updated up to 10. The iPhone 5S came out with iOS 7, but was updated up to 11 and this is the latest update of iPhone 5S. So Apple gives 4 major updates. Samsung always gives 2 major updates to some models.
Of course, Samsung can make changes in the update policy. But as I tell you, Samsung is a brand that can remove many devices from the list over time.
I say again: If the update comes, we will be happy. But let's not hope for updates. If the update does not come, we will not be bad. :good:

I say again: If the update comes, we will be happy. But let's not hope for updates. If the update does not come, we will not be bad. :good:

Today, I have a question and I got this answer. This is good news for us but there is always the possibility that Samsung can change this calendar. Because in the past, Samsung had deleted many devices in the Nougat update calendar and did not update them. They have already written that they can change it in the answer they give. All we can do is trust Samsung and wait to update.
By the way, the comments I made about the single update of the J series came up as a result of my observations. I have information about this in my country as a source at epey.com. The site is writing the first Android version and the latest Android version of the devices. If you take a good look, you will get something like: S, Note and A series devices are getting two major updates and the other series are either getting single updates or not updating at all.
The C series is a new series. For this reason I can not make a definite comment. But C8 is called J7 + in different countries. And since the J-series gets one big update, I think it's the C-series too.
In the old Nougat update calendar, many devices from series J would receive the second major update. But the times were all removed from the calendar. I said I should trust Samsung, but not trusting is the best option. We will be happy if the update comes, but we will not be sorry if it does not.

Bro I saw that notice in the Samsung Members app notice section, it is named Oreo Update Schedule Notice.
And when it comes, idk what exactly when, but according to the notice it'll probably come out on October.
Bro, I'm confused too about the update, because I have many Samsung phones and I don't know if they can get Oreo or the future Android 9 Pie.:laugh:

Well, we can see C7 Pro have beta update of Android 8.0.0 on SamMobile. But it doesn't mean all C series will get that. May get as you said. Because there is two reasons;
-Pro C series come with 6.0.1 stock. But Samsung changed their UI like Android 7.
- That series released in 2017.
I can't understand Samsung in this regard. There is Android 7.1 available when they released. But why Samsung stayed on the 6.0.1.. I don't know.
In short... On mine opinion don't hope to 2016 C series will get Oreo... May get, may not. Depends on Samsung...
Oreo cooming soooooooon????

I heard that India version will be code raphealin, as they have same hardware. Do you think china version (rapheal) and India version (raphealin) will have the universal ROM package? Otherwise, can we flash rapheal to raphealin? I bought a China version before, and I'm afraid of that.

I think it depends on which bands are unlocked on the phone. I don't know if India and China provider share the same bands? The mi9t has different bands unlocked then the k20.
I think that will be named as anticipated K20 Pro. but they were advertising as k20 pro so who knows. Im just sure that software development wise they'll share the same stuff
I'll wait for reviews from early adopters. I have never owned a Xiaomi device before and I am only inclined towards this because of its AMOLED panel. If the quality isn't as good as OnePlus panels or if the device has issues itself like people faced touch issues on Poco F1, I might skip it completely.

They do mostly, you can check their respective band compabilities at kimovil .dotcom
I recon there will be differences when the global version is released, but for China and India they seem to be the same.
Would post link to the website but first 10 posts rule...

I've found the info on Kimovil.com to be out of date, though to be fair most sites I've looked at, which provide lte band info, are out of date. It looks like once they've added the info, they never bother to update it when carriers open up more bands on their networks. I now check the info on Wikipedia, it's more work, especially on a phone, as you have to trawl through massive tables to find the data, but the info is normally up to date.

I was initially planning to. BUT it is not a pre order. That voucher does not guarantee you early or separate or priority access for buying. And in India it will be very difficult to even buy one once it goes up for sale. It will be out of stock within seconds, thats the problem. And this Alpha sale, will only block your money in a online seller Flipkart or Mi.in . That is useless. I was atleast hoping for a separate access for those who make the payment now.

I HAVe just read the t&c and it says atleast incase of purchase from mi website that only the people with the access pass will be able to purchase the phone on 17th and also that if you dont complete the purchase or the validity has expired your money will be refunded

I don't think that's the case. AFAIK only people with Alpha Sale pass will be able to order a unit on the launch date 17 and 18 and all the others can do so post 23rd onwards. If this is the case everyone with the alpha pass should be able to secure a unit without any flash sale.
Let's see and wait for the launch on the 17th, I'll share my experience if I am able to get my hands on the pro :laugh:
Sent from my OnePlus7Pro using XDA Labs
It got released at 28k was expecting it to be 25k. Overpriced. Hadd good expectation from this phone but ... it is better to go for One Plus 7 that has no bloatware, good UI, fast android update and no ADs
Are the adds really that annoying ?
It's been a long since I've used MIUI so asking about it. (been using OP 3T until now...which got broken recently)

Yes it is too annoying. I bought a Redmi note 7 recently, i feel i have no control over my phone. MIUI is a s**+. This is my first time using a MIUI. You have can't even debloat your phone, unless you root it/install TWRP in it. You have to disable ads everywhere in each app individually, but still ads pop up. I faced problem of even changing default browser, music ,video player etc... Its messed up. You better stay on pure android UI device (like that of one plus/android one phones), that will make your life peaceful. I need to switch to google pixel rom in my phone.

Why do you feel its overprices? I agree that K20 is overprices but I feel the K20 Pro prices are fine for the features they are offering. But I am curious to know why people think K20 Pro base variant is overprices? Just because it has MIUI or the Redmi brand has an image of being cheap and people can't digest a higher price from this brand?
And i agree, ADs should die on MIUI. It's ridiculous now.

Agree with you. I was more hopeful after Pcoc F1, redmi would be targeting the mid tier .. And price aggressively like 24-25k for K20 pro and 19-20k for K20. Its only that expectation that made most of us think that it is overpriced
I booked K20 128gb 6gb varient will be getting on. 23rd

Samsung just released A80 with Snappy730G and the price is an eye-watering INR 48K. That's ridiculous.
I am sure Poco F2 won't come this year. If it does, it'd be with a 730G or 730 chipset. No way Xiaomi is releasing a competitor to K20 Pro from one of their own sub-brands.

If anyone has an Indian K20 Pro unit, I would appreciate if you can post your initial impressions and IF this still comes with Xiaomi ads.
