sure. what are your other options?

Don't
Don't, doesn't have 5Ghz antenna's. Snapdragon 801 is showing a little bit of age. Get the ZTE Axon 7 Mini which goes for $249 (~240 euro) or a Blackberry DTEK50 or an Alcatel Idol 4 or a Moto G4 Play all of these cost around $200-300 (long list, wanted you to have all the options I could find right now) Don't get a Oneplus X, Oneplus has lost faith in it.

i wouldnt downgrade to an IPS from AMOLED but then everyone has their preferences.

Yes, I agree. Every time I look at an iPhone screen, I laugh on the inside. But in 2016, if all a phone has is an AMOLED screen and a decent design, it is not enough to compete with other options at a similar price point. The ZTE Axon 7 Mini also has an AMOLED screen, though I'm not sure which phone has a superior screen.

that phone will still take time to have a community supporting it as well as X.

Thanks for the suggestions! Went with a xperia x compact on deal for €299. Mostly because of the size and camera.

Good that you made that purchase. The community here may be active, but a lot of the users and developers are relunctant to express any form of kindness or understanding. Speaking from a development standpoint, it's a great device. I love how well everything runs, and how everything works seamlessly for me. I love having access to Sultans kernel sources, and being able to learn from watching him and other developers and then implement that into my code, and I enjoy the few friends I have made through my work, and the kind people here who have helped me, but no, I will not miss a community that chooses not to learn nor one that is as childish as the one here.
I remember when I used to have an HTC Droid DNA... We had a community that wanted to learn and that experimented with stuff, but not here. Not anywhere else anymore.

Are u sure that opx is true amoled.
It has a backlit .
There is nothing true black in opx.
Download a gallery like quickpic that lets u open a picture in Fullscreen mode so that picture fills entire screen.
Make a bmp image in ms paint in windows and fill it with perfect black.
Now load this picture in quickpic or any other Fullscreen gallery.
Switch off every light in ur room .make it jet dark
Wait a few seconds for your eyes to adapt to darkness
U will see the backlight.
Cheers for all who bought a fake amoled.
If u think the gallery is a problem.
Do this same thing in any other amoled phone.
(I did in moto x ghost )
You will know the meaning of black.

Don't spread fud bro. I have tried it is pure black.

This is why opx amoled looks good in sunlight.
Because it has backlight.

What's fud ? If it's false information ..
Bro.. am not a fake guy bro.. am dependent on XDA for many doubts of mine... So I won't give lies here. If it is so then my opx is at fault.
I too tried and it has a backlight.
Just take another amoled like moto x ghost and put pure black pic in quickpic , enter full screen and see the difference.
Important:
Make sure u reduce the brightness slider to near low levels.

I think that the problem is in the conversion from hex color codes to bmp, or you were not using black hex code #000000. Or your device is faulty...

Pure, darkest black here, no difference between display on or off.

No problems in picture. And I use midnight in dark room to test this.
I use gravity box to adjust brightness by sliding through status bar.
Am in oos 3.1.4, rooted with su. Colour balance shifted to left.
Now I load the picture in qucikpic with full brightness setting.
Pitch black it is.
Now as I reduce the brightness by sliding the status bar to left,
I see a backlight starting to turn on at about half the level of the slider, and the backlight increase in brightness as I move left.
I seriously doubt if my device is faulty. - Faulty by an additional backlight!!
Fault is something already there, not working. -these is the usual case
Fault cannot be something addon !!
Still I admit there is a possibility that my device has duplicate display .
I thanked all those who gave their valuable replies. winesh, lazy rich and psychem .
Expecting more people to give their inputs.
Please use night dark room.

No more transparent bar in future phones :(

Is it true that after this years Xperia P, Xperia SL and Xperia U there will not be any further NXT series phones utilizing the transparent bar element?

Where did you read that? I would be very surprised if it's true - anyone who studied business knows this - you need USPs (unique selling points) to your products in a crowded market, and Sony's latest designs have been getting a lot of positive attention, not to mention great sales. I'd say it's working very well, and looks different. Why would they cut it out?
Better performance, maybe?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It is a very old info. Unless Sony decides to revive it at 2014, we won't have any. It's a great design, really, but they will stick to other designs.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
Matter of opinions, i think it's silly, and i find that design ugly tbh, best design ever is the arc design currently used in T V J.

I don't recall, exactly. But it was said by someone who has insiders on Sony. Read it on Esato or here, can't remember. It was said around after the U and a P launch.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
It is, admittedly, a pretty pointless feature or selling point, requiring more hardware bits and pieces, along with making the phone taller than it really would've been. I like it a lot myself, but when I excitedly told coworkers in my workplace it's one of the aesthetic reasons I like my Xperia S, all I've ever gotten were eye rolls and smirks. And I suppose if you look at the smart phone world overall, adding a light bar is not unlike people that stick lights, stickers, and other loud colorful mods on their imported cars. The effect is even worse with the Xperia P, with its multicolored light bar. It can be seen as not very tasteful, mature, or serious.

Pretty much all of them have iPhones, very few people have Android phones and they're all Samsungs. And yes all of the men want their phones plain, black, and simple, with a plain black case to go with it. I'm the exception that always tries to buy something a little more unique that I won't see every 50 feet. I do however opt for the black versions of phones myself so that I don't stick out too much. Most of the other guys are much older than me and corporate culture can be powerful thing.

P doesn't have multicolored light bar.
=(..Its their selling point for me at least..
Ditto, it's their selling point for me too.
The transparent bar is really what sets the NXT series apart from, well, every other smartphone out there. Most smartphones are basically just a slab with a screen, the transparent bar makes it unique and really makes it recognizable.
Kinda silly to get worked up to any degree over something so trivial.
The LED bar was the main reason I bought my U (well that and the price). *****ez love multicoloured LEDs.

I completely agree! Though, anyone who rolls their eyes at your phone probably aren't in a position to criticize - as you mention with modded cars, there will be something that they care about and add frills and whistles and lights when it suits them - clothes, a Macbook, jewellery etc.
Style rarely has function. But I think that it added a lot to their 2012 phones, it's a shame. I for one didn't want the usual, BLACK, rectagular phone...:victory:

Everytime I look at my Xperia S sitting on the table in the dark, I think of how damn good looking the phone is. The transparent bar is a really cool feature that sets it apart from other phones. Not to mention it is useful when it comes to displaying notifications. It saddens me the NXT line is probably going to be the only phone lineup with the feature. They could have made the phone shorter though by having the transparent bar be the bottom of the phone since the bottom cap really doesnt hold anything in it anyways.

It would have to have at least a really small bottom cap, as looks like the transparent strip looks a bit fragile, if it falls.

Style does have function. But such function is not quantifiable. Since people nowadays like to put numbers on EVERYTHING, it is not surprising that really good style/taste/etc.. is not popular anymore.
What's popular? Hardware bragging rights. Plenty of numbers there.

PocketNow Review - Taylor Martin is a joke.

Any of you read the review? That guy has no clue what he is talking about and comes across as a hater.
For him to say the display was mediocre and outclassed by other phones like the S4 and One, i do not know what to say.
Granted this is his opinion but i have been owning tech and phones for years now and i think i know a good display when i see one, either that or he got a dud for review.
You can see from my YouTube channel i own all the latest phones etc and i think the Z Ultra has the best display i have seen on a phone so when a big tech site says otherwise.... am i blind or what am i missing? Makes no sense.
But yeah, i think the review they put up was crap to put it lightly.
Thoughts?

All that matters is who ever buys the phone is happy with the screen and if not return it and get another phone and it looks miles better than the screen on the Z which looks frankly awful when I compared it to my HTC One.

Exactly. I do not understand why we have to over analyze everything these days.
Almost all high end flagship devices i think 98% of the world would be happy with, it is all personal preference.
For instance, the screen on the original Z sucked but, i liked it more than my S4 and HTC One simply because of the button placement on the device. I enjoyed every time i picked the phone up the buttons where right under my thumb, loved that.
So again, what i like someone else may hate.

Just watched it and yes indeed, that review was professionally done.
I am just not a fan of reviews in general and slapping a score out of 10 on the end of it. Each review is 1 persons opinion and there opinion should not dictate the overall perception of a device.
However, not everyone is in the position of trying each phone they are interested in before buying so a lot rely on reviews and scores etc, it is just frustrating when a certain place under rates 1 device but vastly over rates another.
Thanks for the post though.

Yep, it's extremely hard, if not impossible to be 100% objective, so things like this will (sadly) happen. I hope Anandtech will review the Ultra. If you haven't read their reviews before then hold your hat; they are awsome. A good example of this is the HTC One review. Read it if you haven't yet. It'll take you a long time to read it all, but it's worth it.

I mean no offense by this but that is definitely not the vibe I got from you when watching your "HTC One Do Not Buy" video...
It is interesting though. We have this pocketnow review and a fellow member that both agree the display is meh. When I see this video though I honestly think the display looks better on the Ultra. Will have to wait for mine to come in to make a final conclusion though.

All the Ones i had, there flaws where obvious and the quality control in general was just poor. HTC came up with a design that they could not manufacture to a standard they where promoting. Zero Gap? Biggest joke i have heard, gaps everywhere.
I just mean i am not one of these people if i get a dead pixel on my display that i freak out. If there are more than 20 yes but 1 or 2 is not an issue as thats just the nature of most LCDs etc.
But The One in general just left a bad impression, did not feel premium as much as it tried to be.
Trust me on the Ultra display though, its fantastic!
ultra display
I also do not understand how someone can call the ultra`s display as mediocre.
I had a chance to play with the S4 and yes, amoled is amoled with all the contrast and saturation etc.. but its sometimes too much
it hurts my eyes. lol. I guess everyone has their own standards on what a good display is, but I definitely think the Ultra`s display is best for me.
It really was a toss-up between the Ultra and htc one for me, as the htc one display is almost the same level as the Z ultra in my eyes,
but Snapdragon 800 and the bigger display won. And the fact that HTC is going down, who knows when they will cough up and stop updating their flagships?
To Summarize, I am with you in saying Z Ultra has one of the best, if not the best display on the market. But if other people think its mediocre, its their opinion.

Yes, I also agree that the Z Ultra's display is one of the best on the market right now. It's not mediocre, not by a long shot.
The screen really shines when I play games on it. One of the games that amazed me of its display quality is Samurai II: Vengeance (available around 3 bucks from Play store).
Set the brightness to full, load that game up & I'm instantly pleased with the bright & colorful details. The text is crisp & easy on eyes. The "Okami" style background of the game is an absolute pleasure to watch on Z Ultra's display.
What can you do with password lock on
Hi,
A quick questions if you don't mind...
I have to have password lock enabled for security because of policies.
What functions are available with the password lock still enabled. e.g. Are you able to jot quick notes and take photos without having to unlock by entering the password first ?
Thanks,
Zuber

Hi Zuber,
I currently have Calendar & Gmail set up on lock screen, together with Camera Quick Launch.
So far, only Camera Quick Launch (You can take photos) without having to password unlock first.
All other functions will require you to unlock by entering password.
Hope the info above helps.

Buyers Remorse

After using a lot of Samsung phones, this model has really let me down and I'm thinking to sell this phone and move on as I'm really not happy about it due to below shortcomings.
- Display Profiles/Preset(Dynamic/Standard etc) - This obvious option is missing and my eyes is unable to getting used to stock setting and screen is something which I look all the time I really miss this option
- Spen Keeper - Too bad I use Spen
- Macro Focus in Camera - And camera too
If you're not satisfied with the phone, then sell it.
Display Profiles, I kinda miss it in my previous Note 2 and Note 3. I'm used to the Neo's profile though.
Regarding S-Pen Keeper, I really liked it too, but I hardly leave without the Pen even when I used the previous notes, and there's also a S-Pen icon notification on top.
About the macro, it's not built for total macro shots since it doesn't have a nice aperture, but it doesn't necessarily mean the overall camera performance is bad. Here's a few macros I took myself, it's not that bad, right? :angel:

There is no point asking here buddy, if u don't like it then sell it and buy another one. Everyone has there own preferences so a phone can't cater to everyone's requirements.
btw which phone are you planning to buy?

It's just buyers remorse and not complaining that phone completely sucks . When I move from one gen device to next one , I expect Samsung to leave options intact . For someone newly coming it doesn't make any difference to them
May be I'll pick up a Note 3 or Note 4 [emoji16]

I completely understand, didn't mean to sound harsh, afterall we've had so many healthy conversations!
I think the display profiles not being there is more of a skimped feature cos of being a Neo.
Note 4 will be out in October, so if u can wait then good, cos I know it'll be the best device.

Yeah , that's what I'm wondering if Samsung deliberately crippled down features just because it's Neo and even though it's not hardware dependent

I never used it, always used adapt display (I like punchy colours), so not having issues. But if it's bothering u too much then u should switch to another phone. But I too am surprised that out of all features sammy decided to remove this one - incredible Samsung!

The price gap is negligible in other countries but in India it's huge b/w flagship and Neo model .
Also insane price drop after buying the phone just makes you more disappointed

Not in all countries, that is AFAIK. But yeah maybe in a few countries. The price of Note 3 has become pretty much stagnant, launched at 47K and since last 4-5 months it's being sold at 42-45K in different stores. I suggest u to wait for Note 4 if u can cos software & performance wise u won't be gaining much with the Note 3.
You are right!

Ya you are right! Until you pointed even I didn't know that the "adapt, dynamic, standard, movie " option is missing. Now I am feeling sad too Good observation by you.
Regarding Camera you can try "focal" app and there are so many camera apps available which you can download using Aptoide.
Just go to Aptoide.com and then install the apk. Once you install that software you can add different stores. Using them you can search for any apps. Paid and free. There you can get many many camera apps which might cater to your needs hopefully.
Please wait for Snapdragon 805 phones to arrive and then may be you can sell this and get the latest. But really sad to know you are dissatisfied with this phone.
Hope your phone surprises you some way in coming days and changes your mind
Cheers!

May be Samsung has "hidden" those featureS? May be we can get those features by putting some code on dialpad?
for example *#9900# will give you additional settings mostly diagnostics. I have tried it on Note 2, Note 3 Neo and Note 8.0
I hope we can get back that "display" feature.

Though I can live without it, many users require to adjust the settings. At that price, I think it's not justified to leave out a small albeit important feature!

If i liked LCD I would've never bought a Samsung phone which is quite obvious. Am fine with punchy but oversaturated colors is not what I like and I love options where I could tweak or change it as per my eyes.

To say I'm beyond happy with this device would be an understatement. I'm seriously considering selling my Nexus 6P. They're very comparable, and I know how crazy that sounds. They have a ton of similarities, fast camera, good battery life, stock experience.
The battery life on the 6p wins JUST due to standby time. If I use the OPX all day I'll get 4-5 SOT, where the 6P gets 3-4 SOT. But that standby time of the 6p is what makes it a winner.
When OPX gets 6.0, that doze feature will really kick it over the edge.
The only thing that holds me wanting the 6p still is the fingerprint reader and the front facing speakers... before the 6p I had the OP2, that device was horrible (TO ME AT LEAST) Fingerprint reader was crap, and the shape of the device was not comfortable to hold for a while
If you're considering getting the OPX, get it. It's a fantastic device that doesn't feel cheap in the slightest bit. It performs better than the Moto X Pure Edition (2015)

One major negative however is how slippery the OPX is, as I sat there typing that is slid off the couch (which I though was level)
It's like ice slippery. GRIPPY to hold though... while holding you'll never worry about it slipping out of your hands, the glass is way grippier than the iPhone 4/4s

well it seems great from you review, even people say camera is bad on low light, i still dont know, im considering to buy htc one m8 (refurbished ) or this, the only this which is keeping me away from buying OPX is about that camera !! However i cant buy it from OnePLus web, because they dont ship to Albania (where i live ), i need try AliExpress, or something else ....
The camera on the m8 is the worst camera out there. I haven't tried the oneplusx low light.. I'll try it out tonight and post some samples

^^This is TOTALLY UNTRUE. The M8 has an excellent camera. The ONLY downside is the pics are only 4MP. So Zoom/Crop totally destroys the image. Low light pics are pretty great too. Better than this camera for sure.
Also, just the M8. The M8 Eye camera sucks.
The M8 also is optimized better than this phone. It just flies.
That being said, I would never buy a used or refurbished phone.
The M8 also has a better front camera. Better lighting and so on. Only 5MP though.
Can someone tell me whats the diference betwen a china version vs internacional version ? since opeplus does not ship to my country, i need to buy it from AliExpress and they wil sell me a china version ?

Id check on the onplus forums in their website.. I'm sure people have asked the identical questions with shipping solutions
Worst case I can think of is you'll find it has hydrogen os which you can just easily just root and toss oxygen os on

Read the article yourself. The One M8s weaknesses are noise under low light, where and stabilisation of videos, not colors and detail, both of which come out quite well, even if you lose some accuracy. You have to remember this is a 4MP sensor. It may not compete with the Z2, but its damn good for a 4 MP sensor. Sure, 4MP is not very sharp, but plenty good for social media, as long as you don't crop. The X on the other hand will do nothing in low light. Forget noise, you'll get nothing. Colors on the X are pleasing, though less accurate than the M8. The M8 overall takes better pictures, as long as you don't mind the loss of detail in the smaller sensor.

you can contact the seller and ask them help you install the OS Which you want then will be ok

Get the 1+X 1003-version, it works flawlessly in Europe.
About the camera, i can understand why YoungSkeezy hasn't posted any low light pictures yet because they don't really turn out that good tbh. If you want to get a good camera, buy a Galaxy S6... on the other hand, that's almost the only thing that stands out with the S6
I can just repeat what all the serious reviewers tell you, the 1+X is a great phone for its price. There are better phones out there but not by far.
If you ask me, for the reasonable price the pros are:
- Good looks, slim and build quality
- Decent APU for the phone size, two years old but copes with most tasks
- 3Gig RAM helps quite a lot
- Excellent screen
- Dual SIM or SD-slot
- Close to stock android experiance out of the box
- 3-way notification slider
...and the cons are:
- No fingerprint reader
- No NFC
- Mediocre camera
- Only about 12 or the 16GB of storage is available if you use 2 SIMs

Everything about the Nokia X6 the budget beast.

Nokia as a core brand in the world of mobiles has launched its budget beast which is the Nokia x6 which comes with a bezzel less display with a little tiny notch...that looks ****ty but still we have to accept that..cause it's the new trend..hurrah!!...****...but still you are getting a high-powered Nokia branded phone which is running under snap dragon 636
12 nm technology.....and you are getting a both 16 MP camera on both the sides of the phone....it's the only phone which will come with a notch in a budget section device list..and you are also going to get usb type c on this phone but the best point of buying this phone is for the Qualcomm quick charge 3.0 and yes it supports that.. above all you are going to get 19:9 screen to body ratio, Corning gorilla glass 3, adreno 509 GPU, android 8.1 out of the box and yeah the legendary NOKIA branding.

Bought the Nokia 6.1 Plus which is the Global AndroidOne version of the X6 and loving it so far!
Only 2 things i wish i had control of, maybe one of you XDA geniuses can help me with.
First is % of the battery in the icon of status bar, it isn't in the battery section not in Systen Tuner UI.
second is to change the order of the back/home/recent apps buttons to recent apps/home/back in the order written here.

TBH didn't check yet for root/xposed/custom recovery.
It is a great device! The above two things are the only things i wish i could fix.
Here are good options where to buy it from:
Best choice IMO as they include free express delivery and will pay customs if there are any, bought my Asus Zenfone 5 Ze620Kl from them.
https://www.eglobalcentral.com/product/nokia 6.1 plus?i=Y
These guys i don't know but they sell it as well, https://www.tecobuy.com/en_US/nokia...ly_jf_f52C_oTHDVy1oiNYYTyd4AkxmUaAmgMEALw_wcB
and then there's eBay, this one uses express shipping, and is where i bought from this time.

In regards to your question about the NFC chip in the Nokia X6, we would like to inform you, that this model doesn't support this technology and the chip is not installed hardware-vise. Also, since the model is produced for use only in Mainland China, this feature is also not supported in the software.

You can change the order, I've done it on mine. Just need to follow the instructions here: https://www.xda-developers.com/customise-the-navigation-bar-android-oreo/
You can remove the app once you've switched them and it stays the same . Now I just want someone to make a TWRP for this so I can change the video codec and I'll be happy.
Another thing i found is the colours are on the "cold" side, and i prefer warm. So what i did is put on night mode and put the intensity to minimum and voila!
The idea is from a review i saw on youtube.
Which color would look better on this model.. Black or white.. Any suggestions
It's a matter of taste, i like black.

You can change the order, I've done it on mine. Just need to follow the instructions here: https://www.xda-developers.com/customise-the-navigation-bar-android-oreo/
You can remove the app once you've switched them and it stays the same . Now I just want someone to make a TWRP for this so I can change the video codec and I'll be happy.

Yeah a TWRP is eagerly needed.
I just received the phone, got it from Gearbest in a Flash Sale for 175 Euros. Added expedited delivery, so paid 180 in total. Delivered within a week! And no customs charges. Brucey bonus.
So far, I like it a LOT. It's only a smidge bigger than my Galaxy S7, but the screen is HUGE compared to it. And I love Android One - no bloat. It has some functionality I'd not seen before, I especially liked the "restore settings" from Google option, that literally put all my shizzle back.
The camera is probably the only downside, that's just not as responsive as the S7, it just takes that bit longer to focus, but to me that's no biggie, as I don't care all too much about photography.
The Snapdragon is nice & snappy (see what I did there?), and combined with 4GB of RAM & clean Android One, performance is excellent.
PS - I ordered the X6 International version, which, when started up, identifies itself as the 6.1. So if you order that one from Gearbest, you're good. Here's the link: https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_009787976351.html?wid=1349303
Amazing that you can get a phone this good for so little money. And it's not a ridiculous 6.2" or bigger "phablet" either.
