Screen, Sound will be better on Moto Z Play. Especially sound which is pretty mediocre on RN4. Also the AMOLED display is superb on Moto Z Play.
As for Roms RN4 is better choice, it's much more active community and with kernel sources released lately it will only get better. Also RN4 has much better battery.
If price doesn't matter definitely get Moto Z Play. :good:

You might improve it slightly with roms and mods but not that much.
Also Moto Z Play has clean android without any stupid vendor UI's which alot of people might like..
Without bias (as redmi note 4 owner) Moto Z Play is much better device honestly. (but it also costs more obviously )

What about Z play vs Lenovo P2 ? Which one better for Roms and long support from Developers ?
In store near my home there is P2 with 310$ - Z play 338$ - RN4 265$
Im in confuse between all the three

"Moto" brand is owned by Lenovo, so about the same.
Personally from the 3 phones you mentioned i would buy Moto Z Play.

The Moto Z Play. It costs a lot more for a reason.
The only thing the RN4 has better is longer battery life.

Lenovo p2 is good

One Plus 3 - Battery life? Not that great?
One Plus 3 - Warranty Issues in India?
One Plus 3 - All the rest good config. etc for the price.
Moto Z Play - OS updates? Stock OS so I should get it quickly.
Moto Z play - Good Battery life
Moto Z Play - No issues with Warranty etc.
Moto Z Play - SD 625 processor with 3GB RAM.
Question is what should I buy? if I get faster updates on One Plus 3 I will just go for it?

I think you go for one plus 3. It have great features.
If you concerned about the one plus 3 above point then go for Moto z play.
Os updates -
If you stick to stock os updates and faster os updates then go for Moto z play.
If you want custom roms support then one plus devices have good support than Moto.
Battery Life -
There is no much difference in battery life in these two devices. One plus 3 support quick charge that can charge your android faster than Moto.
Warranty-
I don't know. It may have warranty issues in one plus one devices.
Motorola not having any issue in warranty.
If you want good configuration then one plus 3 is great choice.

Lol are you kidding! Moto z play has the best battery around by a margin period. If OnePlus 3 is around 4 to 5 hours sot then
10 to 12 hours is z play.
It's basically your usage and priority. If battery usage is your priority and you are a mediocre user with no super heavy games then z play is better.
Else OnePlus 3 hands down if you are a heavy user and best specs to value ratio.
Update is tricky. Moto will surely ensure you get Android n and o. Decent updates. OnePlus has a bad reputation with updates. Look at 1+2 or 1+x. But it's improving with 1+3. But only future will tell you how it goes. 1+3 has already got the Nougat update while z play should this month.
Anyways both phones are very good you won't go wrong with either.
There's a thread for device suggestions:

Can you please be more specific? Do you own this device?
I am using this phone with the global dev rom, Xposed and more for 4 months now and am genuinely happy. Coming from an Xperia Z3 at 3-fold the price tag with constant overheating problems the RN4 simply works smoothly and constantly.
BTW, I would also appreciate a few more choices for alternative roms, but MIUI 8.2 is doing great for me.

Yes I own it and regret buying it, nothing wrong with the device itself, build quality and features are good, the only bad thing about it is the MTK chipset and it is the most important thing in a phone, it overheats and lags when gaming, and the development is already dead for this device thanks to them not sharing their sources. Will never see Nougat on this device for sure.

Okay, but isn't this the standard rant about MTK? You could have known before you decided to buy this device. Your overheating problems could be solved, but I guess you just want to complain for complaints sake.
I will also like a flyme rom for Nikel. Flyme OS looks nice.

This or Z3+

Assuming you had the choice to get this or Xperia Z3+ and you intended to use custom ROM on both, which would you choose?

Hi, I bought my redmi note 4x after I lost my z3+, experienced both on custom roms. IMO the one thing sony z3+ beats redmi note 4x is the camera, other than that note 4x is way better than the z3+ in terms of performance and battery life. Had a lot of overheating issues with my z3+, with said overheating leads to performance issues, look it up you'll find a lot of people having the overheating problem.
in short, if the camera doesn't bother you much, go with redmi note 4x

First of all, thanks for the answer.
As for the topic... I'm well aware of the overheating issues. People are claiming that the issue is not solved, so I've been pretty skeptical about it. As someone who has used quite a few Sony phones (T, Z, Z1, Z3), I have been a big fan of their camera. Though I don't mind an average one either, so it's not much of an issue. What I wonder though is which does a better job at gaming.
Also, which is better? MediaTek or Snapdragon?

Absolutely. Xiaomi + Snapdragon is excellent (cheap + lots of custom ROMs). From previous experience, I would never buy Xiaomi + MTK again. There are serious issues with kernel sources being released, and nobody can ever tell for certain where the problem lies.
Alright, thanks for your answers. One last question.... I can only get the chinese version that does not support B20(800) 4G. I suppose that has nothing to do with the ROM, right? If I change the ROM to the global one, the phone will still not support B20(800) 4G, right?

Is an Ultra Z still applicable in 2017?

Continuation of the 2014 thread.
OK, I'll chime in. Just short of paying $1K for the new Note 8, I'd say the Z Ultra still holds its own.
Yup , Z ultra is my dailly driver for almost every thing , amazing battery and running KK, Aosp MM , lollipop , marshmellow and Noughat almost every thing , I bet it will run Oreo as well , coz of its powerful hardware ... if by any mean we will get the binaries and some devs who are still working on building .for this amazing machine..

I can ask you a tip ...
I had this terminal just came out, but then I sold it, now I bought it back, and as soon as I got installed a number of roms, but in all the roms I tried the battery convinces me. I changed the battery, but I think but I do not think the situation is combiata.
What rom you use?
Anyone still using Sony ultra z in Nvember 2020? I got myself a Huawei mate pro30 - like its speed , camera and the fact I can install as many applications that I like without worrying for its storage space and memory. Yet scrolling Facebook just on it just made me missed my Sony ultra z - I miss the big screen and the Xperia Chinese keyboard which offers t9 English keyboard and ability to write Chinese on it. I bought Huawei mate30¤ pro as it's half its original retail price and the fact of it has 5G option makes it an easy ( but regrettable decision)...

Yeah, still using it, for the same purpose I purchased it back in 2014. With OruxMaps it gives a great Bicyle GPS. It is easy & Cheap to repair (Battery, Screen, all easy to get) and I even bought a second one as backup. Latest Android 5 updates were supplied from this forum until end of last year - what more can you expect? Further Software updated would be great, but it will even continue to work without...

Should i get one ?

Hello every one ,
Im considering to get pocofone, and i wanted to hear some suggestions from you guys that are actualy using the phone.
Currently i have Mia1 on pie update , with google camera , and ota working , i did it back on nougat and since than i've been quite happy with this phone and still am , so i didn't play with custom roms with it . Before i had a nexus 6 , so i love stock android. My moms S4 jfltexx is dying , so i will give her my MiA1.
And the only phone worth it on a 350$ phone right now for me seems pocofone. Only concern for me is miui but im open to it ,as i've never tried it before.
How has been the experience to you guys. I've seen a lot of reviwes on youtube, and for me it checks most of the boxes, but hearing from users here on xda is always better :victory:
I mostly use my phone for youtube, reddit and xda , and randomly play pubg with friends, no other real gaming. And i love HEADPHONE JACK :laugh:
Sorry for long post , and thanks for any suggestion.

Go for it, if you like MIUI cool, if you don't flash Pixel Experience rom and you get stock Android back
Better get Asus Zenfone 5z or 1+6T If you can spend a bit more.
I have Pocophone for over 1 month now and i love this phone. Some experience touch issue lag, but i don't, the stock camera is not that good indoor or low light, but you can install google camera apk with night mode here from xda and the image quality will be flagship level, video quality with stock camera is good with 960 fps slow mo, 4k 60 fps and 1080p image stabilization. The screen is good, build quality is good, MIUI is good looking in my opinion and has some extras that stock android doesn't have, before this i had a nexus 5x and i was a fan of stock android.
I moved from samsung note 4 to pocophone and i must say i will never again buy samsung. I love pocophone i think is best value phone , go for it
6T or poco?
