I've read whole bunch of reviews of Realme 7 Pro and some of them actually do measure spec parameters and results are, to put it midly, VERY confusing!
From three well known review web sites maximum display brightnes measurements are as follow:
Notebookcheck: 507 nits
GSM Arena : 585 nits
German test : 632 nits
It's not even in the same ballpark!!
Is it possible that Realme's quality control is really such a disaster and faults it's consumers so brazenly?
Any comments and opinions from the actual Realme 7 Pro owners?

We’re pretty jazzed about the new honor 5X announced yesterday at CES. While technically it’s made by Huawei, it’s not branded as such. We’re excited about it because it’s an unlocked GSM phone with solid midrange specs (shown below) at a pretty unbeatable price point of $199, available for pre-order now from Amazon with an official launch on January 31. It has the proper bands to run on any major GSM network in the USA, and if you consider the competition (we’re looking at you Nexus 5X and OnePlus X), the honor 5X stands up particularly well if you’re comparing specs and price.
The phone itself is made from diamond-polished aluminum, granting it a quality “cool-to-the-touch-metal” feel that is usually reserved for devices that cost two or three times as much. It has a “second-generation” fingerprint sensor on the back (where fingerprint sensors should be, ahem), and it’s powered by the trusty Snapdragon 615 octa-core CPU along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM with microSD expansion up to 128GB. The screen is 5.5″ at 1080p, and the rear camera shooter does 13MP photos and 1080p videos. Again, this all sounds pretty great for a phone that is just $199. You can grab one in silver, gold, or black. You can see the official honor 5X feature listing on the honor website. Or, you can join in the discussion in our honor 5X forums on XDA. Within our forums, you’ll find a contest thread where we are giving away three honor 5X’s. Check out the contest thread to enter to win one!
Lastly, TK from XDA TV was able to do an unboxing and first impressions video of the honor 5X, which you can see down below.

Just saw this article about a new 6.44 display phone from Xiaomi......could be the Z Ultra replacement we've been waiting for?!? I like the 6.44 screen size, which has been perfect for me.
if it has onscreen buttons i would be very interested
but for now - Z Ultra
I think it is the first viable replacement for the Ultra. It provide 128 GB of storage + microSDXC, which is an excellent upgrade from the Ultra 16 GB. The AnTuTu scores for similar devices indicate a decent upgrade as well: around 80,000 which is a step forward but it is possible the 652 version will be even better.
The main question is 240 DPI operation and ROM development. Items such as softbuttons doesn't worry me since it is possible to enable them with the right ROM/tweaks. LTE bands are another question but I would assume a similar setup as the C6833 more or less.
I think the Max is the first device since the Ultra that can be considered a step forward in most aspects.
There is another contender in the works, though: ZTE Nubia X8, which promises up to 4K and a Snapdragon 823. It is worth to wait for it before making any final decision. As the situation is now with Sony probably out of the game (a Z3 TC successor would have been very interesting but nothing in that regard seems to exist and they failed to replace the Z4 Tablet), it seems like the only companies providing devices of the right category are Huawei (MediaPad/Max series), Xiaomi (Max) and ZTE (Nubia).
It seems to be a choice between a Huawei MediaPad X3/M3/P9 Max (i.e. new devices replacing the 2 series), Xiaomi Max or ZTE Nubia X8. Other brands seems to be stuck at 6 inches or smaller.

The only problem with the Mi Max is there are no LTE bands for the US. I was considering one as well. I replaced my ZU with a Mediapad X2 last year and it's still a great phone even without LTE here.
Look for vernee apollo. just for 299usd and you will get 10core cpu and 6gb ram and 128gb storage and 20mp camera.

I totally second this! There's something about the 6.4 inch screen that is perfect for everyday use and for watching videos. I can't imagine myself downsizing to a 6 inch phone.....my eyes literally get strained from watching videos on a 6 inch screen
The new Zen phone 3 ultra looks interesting too.
Tech tablets review is very positive

Hey,
I'm about to order Redmi Note 4 or 4x, but I'm not sure which one. I live in Croatia and I don't know any better site. Maybe GearBest or GeekBuying but I don't know, recommendations welcomed
Here are 2 devices I was looking
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Dre...n-625-Mobile-Phone-4100mAh-5/32797414678.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Glo...Snapdragon-Octa-Core-5-5-FHD/32796560515.html
I'm looking to buy black one, and I was trying to find 4gb/64gb model (SD625), but black color is not available.
Which one should I get?
Sorry if this is duplicated thread,
Best regards

The 4x has fast charging and comes with a snapdragon 625 processor. The note 4 has no fast charging and comes in 2 different processor options. The faster mediateck processor and snapdragon 625. The 4x is cheaper because it comes with a slower processor. Antutu benchmark has 60,000 for the snapdragon and 80,000 with the mediateck processor. Also there are different global versions with different bands that will work for your country. Go to willmyphonework.net to check compatibility. There are other sites you can try to buy from geekbuying.com and AliExpress.com. Also you can see the different variants on kimovil.com. this site will also tell you prices benchmark scores and a lot more.
Nonsens 4x and 4 are the same.
4X may got diffrent camera sensor.
And its not support fast charging.
And is a Snap Dragon 625.
Get original Redmi Note 4 only.
I also think I have read that they are the same, and only difference is that LTE band or something?
I'm only looking for SD processor because it has more custom roms if I'm not wrong. And I've read that some people have problem with flashing roms on 4x or something
And yeah, I think its Snapdragon 625, not 652
There are 3 different versions of the Redmi Note 4:
1) Redmi Note 4 with Deca-Core Helio X20
2) Redmi Note 4 with Snapdragon 625
3) Redmi Note 4X with Snapdragon 625
Option (2) is imho the "best" of them all as it has not only the better battery compared to its brother (option (1)) but also has more bands (at least LTE Band 20, I think also Band 8 and Band 4 is a difference; you miss out on Bands 39 and 41) than it's cousin (option (3)).
I purchased myself option (2) and am hoping it will arrive soon. Of interesting observation is that (1) and (2) share the same root of name (being "Redmi Note 4") but option (2) is sometimes called "Redmi Note 4 Global Edition" or "Redmi Note 4 International Edition). But some sellers use that name as well for option (3) so please be extra mindful when selecting the option. What is more curious is that (2) and (3) seem to share the EXACT same dimensions and hole-setup, so when looking for a case you may be better off searching for Redmi Note 4X compatible ones as the IR-blaster share the same location amongst both.
As it seems the 64GB version seems to only be available in White+Gold as of now but I decided to not care and if I should care too much exchange the back of the phone for a silver coloured one. Obviously that voids the warranty, but I think international warranty repairs will become more expensive than a new phone will cost. I believe the back from option (3) should fit but I give no guarantee on that as I have had neither phone in my hand nor disassembled either and tested it out.
Further, no devices seem to support quick charging and I would not worry too much about it. The battery is quite large and using the SD version one should have quite a power efficient SoC.
The camera sensor seems to be largely based on Samsung's ISOCell technology these days, so no love from Sony IMX. I hope that noone gets the OmniVision version in here---they are said to be the worst.

Thank You very much for detailed description. I think I've read somewhere that 4x SD version has Sony camera sensor, but I can't confirm that.
Then I'll go for that Redmi Note 4, thank You so much for your really good review and observations, I really appreciate it.
And yeah, lets hope for no OmniVision

Cheers,
the 3 sensors are not only restricted to the Redmi Note 4 Global Edition but also the 4X apparently. Best of luck on the sensor for you in any case.
Regarding LTE: Check with your local provider and the general setup of countries you plan to visit for best coverage information. This may change in the future but unlikely for larger changes as 4G is the de-facto standard right now and mature enough to have settled mostly.
There are several Redmi Note 4:
1. RN 4 (mediatek)
2.RN 4 (normal, sd 625) (ex. Indian Version)
3.RN 4 GLOBAL (sd 625, has LTE Band 20 - sometimes very useful depending on wich country) - Croatia you need this for some operators
Please do check this article on wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks_in_Europe , apparently in Croatia you need LTE B3 and B20 - hence get the RN 4 GLOBAL
4. RN 4X (sd 625, identical to normal version but with more Lte band only for China, also has BlueTooth 4.2 wheres all the other versions have 4.1)
As of camera sensor, it is like a lottery, you either get the Sony IMX258 or the Samsung S5K3L8. Please note that another NEW version of the phone is recently introduced to the market - RN 4X 3/16GB (please note the 3gb of Ram and 16 (sixteen) GB Rom) - DON'T get this one - it has a new Camera Sensor - Omnivision (chinese!). Imho both Sony and Samsung sensors are somewhat on par, but have been reports where the Omnivision senor has had problems.
If you need more info quote or PM me.
EDIT;
from the link you provided i suggest the second one because it clearly indicates the presence of B20 in the description: https://it.aliexpress.com/item/Glob...Snapdragon-Octa-Core-5-5-FHD/32796560515.html
The back of 4x is not full metal, but 4 is.

Are you sure? I think they both have top and bottom plastic for antena, don't they?
I am getting a new phone for under 200 dollars new and i'm deciding between the Honor 7x vs Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. Does anyone know which option is better? Sorry if this type of question shouldn't go here, im new to this site.
That is exactly the comparison I did before to buy Redmi 5 Plus, my second candidate at that time was Honor 7x.
In your case I recommend that you see the compatibility of network bands first of all.
It seems that in some version(s) gyroscope is not present, some users froms US variant report that it has, model that I saw from China it didn´t have.
Battery: Honor 7X=3340 and Redmi 5 Plus=4000
Honor 7x has dual camera and according some reviews a better camera but contraryly some users are disappointed in this point. (not much important for me)
There should be more details but summarizing gyroscope and battery was determinant.

Hi, I am trying to find an opinion about this smartphone and the New OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G. Both have the items I am looking for, sd card, jack 3.5 and near stock Android. I come from the Nokia 7 plus and I am very satisfied with the quality of the camera while using GCAM. Can you tell me what is the best choice in terms of camera quality between this two options? Sorry if I can't write here.

Just a bit of info. Stock rom does not show the "auto" option in Settings/Display/Advanced/Display Refresh Rate.
Just 60/90Hz options. If you choose 90Hz it does lower to 60Hz for lock screen and google maps (known issue for map rendering if higher refresh rate).
I found out there is indeed an "auto" option when I installed the Smarthertz app.
