As you might all know , Not all Snapdragon 8 Gen2 come with same Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi hardware modem
Some are fast connect 6900 " Wi-Fi 6e" some with fast connect 7800 " Wi-Fi 7" and others use other modems with only Wi-Fi 6 like Vevo & IQ phones
can we know which Modem that S23 Ultra uses , may be by looking into drivers or system dumb of its software ?
Well searching online, according to Qualcomm themselves, the gen 2 for galaxy will have both. According to other sources the S22 Ultra is the one that has Fast Connect 7800, but at the same time I cant find a source that says the S23 Ultra supports Wifi 7. I tried checking on my phone with multiple apps, and secret Samsung codes however I cant find the Bluetooth or Wifi modem.

Yup that is the point , why they put Fast connect 7800 in it and increase cost if they didn't enable WiFi 7 , they could have used only the 6900 model like they did with the S23+ & normal S23, that is why I think that all 3 models have Fast connect 6900 and the mentioning of 7800 was a typo in the article

But that's a very good question of yours, there should definitely be an app or adb command or something like that to see which modem your phone has am curious now

After some search I found that Wi Fi 7 certifications , specs & Standard won't be ready until mid 2024 , meaning that current wifi 7 ready devices might not benefit from full set of features after Wi Fi 7 launch

I remember the same thing happened before may be 12 years ago on a device called HTC HD2 it was WiFi N ready , and it was enabled via software update later when Wifi N certifications completed , also for google nexus 4 it was 4g ready and enabled a year after via software update

Confirmed from S23 ultra teardown
It has Qualcomm Fastconnect 7800
But not sure if it is the international version or US version only
Galaxy S23 Ultra Chip ID
Chip ID for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra...
www.ifixit.com
I can only speak to the WiFi 6/6e part of this and I can tell you that my S23U connects to 6/6e as well as my wife's S22U. Matter of fact, my Z Fold 3 worked fine on 6/6e both.
I can confirm us version contains fastconnect 7800 under wcn7851. Basic support for wifi 7 is there, but the full capabilities likely won't be realized in android 13. Current patches for android 14 show progress for wifi-7 and relevant drivers.
Samsung does have a history of disabling features if they're unstable or caused by hardware defects.
On Qualcomm's devices finder page, it is mentioned that S23U uses 7800, S23 and S23+ use 6900
According to Xiaomi's official information, it is mentioned that after WIFI7 is not open, OTA updates will be open, and I think the same will be the case for Samsung.

Qualcomm website isn't accurate , last year they said the same about the S22 series , but it was discovered that the Wi-Fi ship in S22 ultra was Broadcom not Qualcomm and the only device that have Qualcomm was the normal S22 ,
I know that this year is different & in their website they are mentioning the US version of the S23U not the world wide Version and there is not a single source mentioning that the global version is Using Qualcomm latest tech till now, and from years of experience with Samsung products not all versions have same motherboard components , even Screens and Memory chips sometimes are different between versions
Sure it doesn't matter at this stage , it's full potential is anyway not fully unlocked but it is good to know that your device maybe be better future proofed

hey every one , i got my device two weeks ago , i bought it in egypt and sells as huawei GR5. no honor branding on box or the back of the device . i assumed at first that both devices are identical and the only difference is branding name .
but i noticed on multiple occasion that the device is strangely slow specially compared to youtube videos and benchmarks . and its number is kII-l21 not kw-l21 . also the cpu doesn't seem to be 616 .
so i was wondering if this device would receive marshmallow update ? can i use custom roms in the future that is devolped for US devices ?
Here in my country, we have two seperate phones, one going as honor 5x and other gr5, so they're both definitely different...
Also that antutu is less than typical 5x which gets around 38k

I live in Pakistan.... And i also was baffled by the choice between gr5 and 5x.... I made the choice based on the model number on the back of the box... I knew i should go for kiw L21....
Sent from my KIW-L21 using Tapatalk
I just looked at the GR5 in Huawei store in fortune town bangkok, it has the 616 chipset as confirmed by staff & on device spec details, looks pretty much same besides some radio frequency difference, solid device for 8,150Baht (lowest price I found) but 8,450 is more common pricing. Camera seemed ok from testing in shop, it had 5.1.1 android so had an update which may have some huawei software optimisation !
Fingerprint sensor is very good & also enables easy opening & closing of notifications when unlocked & control panel when on lock screen which useful idea, has double tap to wake too .
Bought gr5 (KII-L21) on 13 march ( just 5 days for now) by trusting gsmarena, now confused if this won't compatible with developments for 5X (KIW series)
Can anyone please confirm will it be compatible or not?
And
Where can I find the actual deferences between the two models?
I doubt kiw developments will be direct compatible, some tweaks may be but roms etc will need tweaking for kii. kiw certainly going be better unofficial supported device ...
Meizu M6 Note uses Snapdragon 625 and runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat, however, I don't know if Camera2 API is supported by this device. I would surely buy this thing if it can do HDR+ using modded Google Camera app! I still have the original MX 4-core and the MX5, and I really want to add this to my collection (good thing it has full manual control as well!)
do you have updates on this ? i would be interested to buy as well.

You got the device pretty early
The device launched two month ago in China so MEIZU hasn't even released this device firmware.
That means no TWRP recovery yet
MEIZU also going to launch this phone globally in a few months so the best thing for now is wait.
(They announced that they going to launch this phone soon in Greece)
I really believe this device would get a good community support as SD625+Sony IMX 362 makes a great combo.
The camera really destroys even the Mi6 sensor in some ocations and the phone only cost 140€ for the 16gb version.
Also don't forget the quite superior front facing camera .
I was going to get the mi a1 but when I saw this bad boy I knew this is the phone I'll get.

If I understand you're talking about the M6 Note community.
There no global release for the device yet .
Even MEIZU hasn't released the device ROM on their website so no bootloader unlock or custom recoveries yet.
MEIZU will launch the phone soon in EU so we'll have to wait for a global ROM , bootloader unlock tool and kernel sources

Before we had to post on the General section
Now we have the device description,section and tags

As I said the device released a couple of months so we have to wait
Looking forward for the Google Camera Port to this cheap IMX362 sensor! Hope it got great performance.
I have this phone now for a week with the latest Flyme update (6.1.4.3A). Phone has amazing battery life and realy good camera but.........it lacks B20 support. Even the site of Meizu says it's support B20 but it does not https://www.meizu.com/en/note6/spec/. I hope in future they can enable it by software but I'm afraid it's hardware related. I have modelnumber M721Q whisch should be Netcom Public version (whatever this means). https://reameizu.com/meizu-product/m721/

I bought it at Lightinthebox. I checked several sites for Band 20 and they confirmed it. Prior to this phone I had GalaxyS5 and LG G3 and both had 4G in my area. The Meizu did not receive 4G. After installing the app Network Signal Guru I discovered no band 20 was supported on my Meizu. I have KPN as proviceder and they use Band 20 for G4. In crowded areas like "Randstad" they also support B3 which the Meizu supports and confirm that 4G is working on B3 but not B20. The support desk of Lightinthebox will check this with Meizu.
Update: I found out you need model B721H Global version

Latest Google Camera app to test on the M6 Note
Google this:
Google Camera 5.1XX apk with Working HDR+ [Mod]
On the stupdroid website, under Download section there are 3 links.
Can someone please try the 3rd link and see if the Gcam work?
PS: I don't have the M6 Note yet and I don't know if the website, the links and the app is trustworthy. Otherwise I would have tested it myself and share the good news.
Not working at all. Sorry. App crashes.
I'm really thorn in between these 2 choices... Currently the Mipad 4 LTE variant is still not available in China... Considering if should wait for it or go with the Mediapad M5... Liked the dual speakers and the higher resolution on the M5 but the Mipad 4 price is hard to beat... Any advise ??
I end up cancel the LTE MIPAD 4 order (i guess no stock available) and buy M5. The price differrent is not alot for me as i order Mipad 4 from China compare to now buying M5 from my country), the different is approx 50-70 usd.
If you can live with the bluetooth wifi issue, M5 better choice which has better dual speakers in more ideal position (for landscape mode and sound quality), fingerprint reader. Mipad4 has slightly bigger battery, 3.5mm jack and more portable in term of the size.
Kirin960 vs SN660 ( no sure about this, antutu result show kirin960 slightly better)
OS wise no really sure, never use xiaomi and huawei, i hope both still can receive monthly security update at least for another 2 years.
Both are good tablets for me, i hope the bluetooth wifi issue wont bother me lot since i plan to use LTE network most of the time.
im not sure which one is better for me as well. I do not like the huawei android version and i do not like the mi pad 4 android version. So for custom roms i think the mi pad 4 will be better than the mediapad m5. BUT the mediapad m5 already got an unofficial version of lineageos which surprises me a lot. Not sure how many developers will grab the mi pad 4... So i might will wait some more time before i make my decision...
I will mainly use it for PDF reading and i am not sure if they are good for it, both have an aspect ratio of 16:10, i think. Not perfect for reading...
Not sure if the higher resolution of the m5 will have an impact on how the papers will look like. All the reviews, especially the chinese / asian ones, focus on gaming. It looks like all of them use it just for gaming...
@dopefish1337 I bought the m5 8.4 some weeks ago and I am quite happy with it. Does the Mi Pad4 come with Project Treble enabled? If not there is no doubt what device to choose otherwise the Mi Pad costs less but also provides less ...

So that's the reason I will not buy MediaPad M5.
Thank you so much for your quick replies.
Well if that's a bummer for you then find another. Samsung is mostlikely great and twice the price. Xiaomi may have the same issue.
Anyhow, the MediaPad is a really great and very affordable tablet. I like it.
People need to understand that the wifi/Bluetooth issue has been solved just use 5ghz frequency on wifi and they both work fine simultaneously!

Maybe people don't have 5ghz router. It is still a shame for Huawei Tablets to have such an issue. It is not a super cheap 100$ Chinese tablet.
I have no problems with bluetooth and wifi on 2.4ghz
Had the Mi Pad 4 for 2 days and got rid of it immediately. I would like to have the option to make calls. No luck with the Mi Pad. The face unlock is godawful on the Mi Pad 4. There is no fingerprint sensor, so you constantly need to swipe your unlock code. The Gboard keyboard does not support popup keys and the tablet does not vibrate. So there is no visual or haptic feedback to typing, really weird. It is fast, memory ist double compared to the Mediapad, the screen is ok, sound is ok but overall, the Mediapad beats the Mi Pad in every category. For media consumption you also have to live with no HD on Netflix and Prime. It's worth to shell out the extra Dollars for the much better overall experience.
Just buy a xiaomi mi router 3 (100m wam) (20$) or 4 (1gb wam) (30$) and connect it with 5ghz, seriously, 2,4ghz is kinda pointless at this point
Hi All,
I'm an engineer looking to upgrade a product which uses an old Altel smartphone. I'm experienced in Unlocking and flashing. I have already done a search, but now in 2020, there may be new info.
Looking for suggestions for the best CHEAP android phone which has good custom ROM support for android 7+ (ish).
I need to use the back camera, and connect via wifi, bluetooth, or Cellular Data. It will be tested in the US, but may benefit from support for many globally common 3g and 4g bands.
One last thing. Would love to find something I can still buy a few dozen of NEW, or at least MFG REFURB.
Can anyone suggest suitable phones? So far, been considering late nexus line and early pixel line, knowing they're flash unlockable.
Thank you for reading! Apologies if I hit the wrong section of the forum.

There are no *NEW* cheap phones that have custom ROM support unfortunately. But used phone are an option : ) If you want official ROM support (Even to this day!), you can get a Samsung Galaxy S4 for 50$, an S5, Note 3 (Android 9 - 10 support!).
If you want a used phone at 100-150$, you can get a A5 2017, Google Pixel 1, Nexus 6 (Don't buy the 6p)
If you want to get a Brand new phone: Moto G7 and G6 Plus (200-250$). (Theese phones have a more complicated process of modding)
You can check the Lineage OS download Page here: https://download.lineageos.org/ Theese are all of the supported devices.
If you don't want to have any difficulties, you can get a Samsung but be careful with the variants! Get the international or Canadian variant because if you get a US variant, there are no methods of unlocking the device (except for the S5 and less) You can also get the Google Pixel, but do not buy the US variant. Same for the nexus devices...
Your knowledge and help are much appreciated.
Can you offer advice on USB OTG Compatibility with various phones on Lineage? I've had mixed results in the past with stock ROMs.

I have 2 Samsung Galaxy S3 ( circa 2012 ) and while they are far from new, they are great phones to play around with.
I am far from experienced, but I have enjoyed flashing Custom ROM's , from CyanogenMod, thru various versions of Lineage, and now CrDroid. The newest O/S that I flashed is CrDroid 3.8.9 ( based on Android 7.1.2 - I think! ). Runs great. Stable. Long battery life. Ran ( 'right out of the box' ) without any need to install Gapps.
The nice thing is the Samsung Galaxy S3 is so darn abundant. Seems that everybody has one collecting dust in a drawer. And that means they are cheap ( as in give it away ). All the Samsung Galaxy S3 came with unlocked bootloader ( I think that is the term ) except for the Verizon model.
Icing on the cake is, a fellow from Montreal, alexenferman, is the genious authour of the CrDroid Custom ROM.
How to make the LGs Dual Screen Case work with other phones? There's always a way for everything with Android.

Dual screen case won't work for other phones.
Also this isn't the right section to post this.
It's using HDMI 1.4 slimport by Analogix
Could you use G8X dual case on V50 Thinq (one that is already set up for dual screen)?
Can you get it to work with other phones ? Older LG thinQ phones like the v35?
Naah. It surely won't work. Even if anything lights up the second screen somehow, a custom rom like that of LG's would be needed to use the same
The most you could do is mirror your screen and cant use it as seperate screen.

U can use Samsung Galaxy S9 or any other Flagship Samsung with that dual screen and you will definitely get all benefits of Samsung Dex
I have my gaming monitor that have type c display input when i plug my Samsung Galaxy S9 to my monitor via type c to type c cable and it Works with My monitor
LG phones should works fine with any Type c input monitor and projectors
I don't have G8X to test but it will works fine :good:
It wont work.

tried v30 and v40
I've tried putting G8X DualScreen case onto v40, V50 korea, v50 us, v30, v50s
Only v50 korea shows usb connection, power supply mode
But the screen, charging, buttons don't work at all
Also you need matching firmware
G8X DualScreen case (v515) works with 901lg & v50s
Velvet DualScreen cases (g905 and g915) for example doesn't work with each other
hhy does anybody know hhow the dualscreen works? try to get it running on my crdroid rom but onnly butttons andd usb conneeection works for now
Can we create an app that would replace the need for the LG ROM or Firmware?
I recognize this is an old thread, but some of the questions here are still valid. I've been using a G8X with Dual Screen for the past year and a half and have no current plans to change up. This phone rocks and is still going strong.
If I understand correctly, the GX8 Dual Screen case is compatible with the V50S (not V50), right?
I'd like to get a V50S for the 5G capability, but keep using my Dual Screen case.

It is, the V50s is pretty much identical to the G8X, but it has more RAM and storage. The 5G is not very well supported, for starters it's the 2.5G variant, 41 NSA that works in some networks in Canada, US (T-Mobile), Saudi Arabia, South Korea, China and Thailand. It also has a smaller selection of languages and you cannot root it without breaking the fingerprint reader (the fixing hack does not work on the V50s as it never had the Android 9 version that has the bug needed to fix it). It does work well with the Dual Screen case thou, and as a Korean model you get the FM radio and the built-in call recording feature that's missing from the US G8X.
Wow, that's great info @zdanee , thank you! The more I look into it the less likely it becomes. While the larger storage and RAM are appealing, I'm on Verizon and wouldn't be able to use the 5G. Plus it has LTE Cat 19 vs the G8X Cat 20 so it has slower data speeds in general.
Thank you again for your insight!
So I'm familiar with windows systems, I'm not familiar with Android, but I know in Windows it's part of the operating system or graphics drivers that says " I have a main monitor, now I see a second monitor. Let's use it. Hey there's another mouse, let's use that."
I'm curious if software could be written to support this or if it's something that would have to be written into the kernel?
I tried to do it and ended up with my DS bricked.
See if this helps you in any way.
