Who's ordered one? - UMi Z Guides, News, & Discussion

And where from? I ordered mine from Bang Good:
http://www.banggood.com/UMI-Z-5_5-I...Deca-Core-2_6Ghz-4G-Smartphone-p-1114313.html
Normally I wouldn't grab a new release anything, but the vanilla Android tipped me over from grabbing one of Xiaomi's beauties to this. Can't wait to give Nougat a whirl.

I am thinking about ordering one but how is UMI's support are the updates good and do they keep promises with their ROM release dates?
I know have an Elephone P9000 but their ROMs and support suck. My Phone won't boot anymore because a bad ROM was installed after updating. Dont want that experience again.

I ordered from Chinavasion.
It was a bit over 240 USD with express delivery and their customer service informed me that it should be dispatched until the end of the week.
However, given it was ordered on discount, they might fulfill first the orders without discount as it's more likely for them to cancel.

OK, thanks for the try, but one only core seems to work, there. 'pm' me and I'll tell you how to change the options. The result should be around 2000k; possibly a bit more than that... Anyway, THANK YOU !!

Check Expansys USA -- they have the 'Lava Grey' (i.e.: black) version for $210, with free basic shipping. 'Natural aluminum' (i.e.: silver) version is s'thing like $30 more. I'm posting this reply in a hurry, so no links -- sorry.
n.b.: Expansys does not specify China (PRC) or Taiwan model, but it's easy to conflate the two countries as 'China'. I asked Expansys to check stock; they sent a fresh device photo, showing /all/ Google services installed.

Expansys staff person posted a comment that it is "from China and does have Google Play."
I'm not sure what that means but I've ordered one and will find out.

I just received my n1 from Expansys.
I confirm that it does have the Google play store.
It came in Chinese but I changed the language.
The android version is 5.0.1 but it asked me to update the software as soon as I turned it on.. Downloading now.. Hopefully it's 5.1...

NOkia N1 taiwanese version only 257USD !
my friend helped me buy a nokia n1 in taiwan and its cost only 257 USD . is it cheapest ?
haha
My N1 from Expansys has Build number A5FM401. Neither the tablet nor the retail box nor the packaging was shrink wrapped. Is there a reliable way to determine whether it had the TW version with Google Play straight from the factory or whether the software was altered after it left the factory?

Well, I can say that I'm quite happy with the Taiwanese N1 I bought from Expansys USA. It arrived brand-new in factory packaging and after the usual set up (plus some extra time required to get around the initial language barrier) works great...best $210 I've ever spent on an Android device.

Here's what I can tell you, from personal experience.:
• A5FM401 is the factory-installed build for Nokia's Taiwan release of the N1. Shortly after first login, the device will download several OTAs, culminating in Android 5.0.2 (A5FM51C).
• With my N1, the shrinkwrap had been carefully cut likely to open the box for inspection as noted in Expansys' catalog (e.g.: to check for damage and/or a US-type power plug).
• The tablet itself still wore the factory's wrapping. I carefully examined the polythene under bright lights (think C.S.I.: Android !), but saw absolutely no signs of tampering.
• From talking to several people who own the Chinese (PRC) model, nobody in their right mind would go to the trouble of re-flashing one to make it look like the Taiwanese part.
BTW: when I asked Expansys to verify Google's apps, s'body in the warehouse kindly sent a pic of a freshly unboxed/booted Nokia N1. Maybe that's the one you got?
Hope this helps a bit.

I'd like to hear your results, for sake of curiosity. Meanwhile, mine stopped at Android v5.0.2 -- I'm told this is the current final release for Nokia's Taiwanese N1.
To date, only their Chinese (PRC) part has been upgraded to 5.1.1, but since that OTA rolled out just a few weeks ago, I guess there's still hope for the rest of us.

Good reviews, so far, plus I figure you can't go far wrong for $10.
I am happy with the Expansys unit as well, I was debating between the N1 and the new Asus zenpad 8.0 s which has the same processor and slightly better specs but costs more.. The N1 is much better looking and has stock Android which is a big plus.
I hope they will keep on updating it, eventually to Marshmallow, since after all it's stock Android...
Great tablet, I just wish I could find the official cover that doesn't seem to be available anywhere...

It's very helpful - thank you. The info about the build number suggests that the software is original. Someone here said their tablet was rooted, but I suspect they were mistaken. I missed the part in Expansys' catalog stating that they open the boxes for inspection, that makes it much less suspicious.
The tablet is impressive for the price. Build quality, thinness, performance, wireless specs, battery life. I guess that's why I'm questioning - because it looks like it falls into the "too good to be true" category.
Would love to buy a docking station that takes full advantage of the Nokia N1, whatever it offers from the Type C port out of the box or can be hacked. This press release for a dock reference design specifically mentions the N1 tablet, but I suspect because it was one of the earliest devices and not because the dock is optimized for the N1.

Yeah, I'd say he's simply wrong. And I'm a careful guy -- first thing I did after I got my new N1 running was to install AIDA64 (a free HW-analysis app; look for it in the Play Store). It confirmed that the device was not rooted.

Expansys append something like that ('Note that the box will be opened...') for a large number of listings. I guess we can assume they get their stock from a wide variety of sources and under varying circumstances.

Yep, that would be a neat accessory, for sure. Well, you never know; it's pretty clear Nokia see their future with Android devices, so maybe we can look forward to an upgraded 'N2' tablet, using the same shell.

Couldn't agree more.
The N1 is delightful in it's simplicity, with vanilla Android and elegant design. Nokia took the iPad Mini's basic look and improved it; rounding those famously 'chamfered edges' gives much better feel in the hand.

Bought my Note 7 from Hong Kong. Still 100% battery!!

Hello everyone
I bought my GN7 coral blue back on 1st/OCT and I'm using the phone as daily driver since that date. The unique about this phone that it's came without Samsung letter on the front and always using fast wireless charging with no issues.
My question is now how most people getting force update to limit the battery to 60% but mine still can be charged up to 100% and I even received an update around 10 days ago (130mb) for improving stability
Will not return this phone
By the way I have a green battery indicator and this phone for Hong Kong market.
Yea.... I would double check it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=63uA1YuIa_s
Although everything matches real one, unlike the fake shown in that video!

I haven't bought anything else from them in like 2 years now. I'm in the states and they are overseas. Returns will be a problem. You could be 2/3 months down the road trying to solve a return issue
Yes, you can buy via Aliexpress but choose the official store with high rating. Or you can buy from Gearbest, cheaper price, big promotion and better service. I prefer the Gearbest to buy more expensive stuffs and Aliexpress for cheaper stuffs.

US Pre-order Thread

I pre-ordered the OnePlus 8 Pro with 12 GB RAM + 256 GB Storage in UltraMarine Blue. Along with my pre-order I got OnePlus Bullets Wireless Earbuds and a OnePlus Warp Charge 30 WireLess Charger, both free. Apparently I was lucky to get my pre-order in early because I read that they sold out within 10 minutes. If the phone is as good as I expect it to be, I'll be selling my S20 Plus 5G on Swappa.
I couldn't get my order in the ridiculous OnePlus 2 minute online out of stock window...

So far the phone is blazing fast. That wireless charger is absolutely amazing. You can see a huge difference in the screen compared to the OP7 Pro, as well as overall speed. My phone was delivered yesterday (April 17th).
Well here's my launch day story...... After watching the launch day event, counting down the minutes, then seconds, on launch day, I ordered my first OnePlus device! This is, IMHO, the best, fastest, most advanced device ever created. I got the Ultramarine 12/256, wireless charger and ear buds and even included the 24 month extended warranty. Wow, was I excited! Unfortunately, it has turned into a nightmare. The order still shows "Transaction in Processing" after I was told by my bank the payment was canceled by OnePlus! Not only am I being told that I missed out on the launch day promotion, but I am not able to pay for the order still processing! I am really disappointed in the whole process and really hope OnePlus can fix this. I am sure items may be out of stock, but I am willing to wait as long as it takes to get this device. Please help!

The op called it a pre-order so I went with it and i was on top of it, actual stock must have been really low...
Pre-ordered UltraMarine Blue 12/256. Excited as much as I was for the 6, 6T, 7Pro. A bit more pricey than usual (of course) but hopefully it's a justified increase.

Stay on them with this. If it were me I'd be arguing that I deserve the launch box (items at least) when this is worked out. No way would I rest until I got what I felt I deserved or they just flat out denied it continuously. Wish you the best here.
I managed to get mine yesterday, now I just have to be patient for development ?
I'm interested in buying a one plus 8 pro. I enjoy a crisp screen and a good camera. I like my pixel 4 xl but the screen seems dull.
Is anyone coming from a pixel 4 xl to the 8 pro? How are the camera images

Hey sorry for a bit off topic, but I've read different things regarding screen protector..... Is there a pre applied protector? Some people said there was a protector included in the paperwork, but not applied.
Thanks!

I'm debating doing the same thing. I think I'll need to see how good GCam is before I either order locally or get it shipped over here.

Scratch that, the 2 in the box aren't screen protectors. I'm talking to OP support and they said unless you add one to your order you only get a pre-applied one. Lucky for me, I also don't have a pre-applied one.

Oh wow that's a shame. With the pre applied one, we at least get time to find a good one like Whitestone dome, etc.
There wasn't one to order anyway. I get mine tomorrow so we'll see. Thanks for the update

You should all appreciate being abke to order and receive you 8 P outside of the US. Not only are we later without anything free stuff, we are having to deal with idiots working for OnePlus who don't know their A__ from a whole in the ground.
I tried both the chat online and calling on a phone. The latter didn't really know enough where and how to purchase over here, but the online people were total idiots.
A lot of it is beaning able to speak English - but not understand it. If they are going to sell now overpriced phones, I think it is reasonable to expect competent service. Compared to Samsung and others - they live on a different planet.
Sale date changed from 8 days away, to 2 days away!!
Exactly what version of the 8 Pro will we be getting - the global ?
Gotta love it. I love in NY. Shipped from NJ yesterday. For some reason it's in Tennessee now. WTF? Still says I'm supposed to get it tomorrow

Worth buying?

So I'm looking to buy the Snapdragon model of the S20 about £530 / $660 https://www.tecobuy.co.uk/en_UK/samsung-galaxy-s20-g9810-12gb-128gb-dual-sim-5g-cosmic-grey-4.html (not sure how reliable it they are)
Is it still worth buying? Are there issues i.e. battery life, camera quality.
Best phone I ever had.
Photo, phone quality, features.
Battery life is good, I have the Snapdragon.
You won't regret at this price.
Absolutely worth it at that price. I have the CDN version (G981W, snapdragon) and got it for $1650 CAD and love it, just wish I didn't have to pay so much for it.

Have you done any flashing or ROMs/ had any problems with that variant?

It's bootloader locked ATM , so no cfw ... unfortunate but it is still a wicked phone
Even using Dex @ work I barely reach 10g ram usage. Dex alone was a selling feature for me. And it's actually usable now, compared to when it launched back on the s8
I recently switched from my iPhone XS Max and completely happy with this phone. No buyers remorse in any way.
The Snapdragon model doesn't have any custom rom support does it?
Anyone using tempered glass on theirs?

Don't bother with tempered glass screen protectors unless you want to go with a Whitestone dome, the cheap ones are trash.
As for roms, there are none other than a GSI . And you need to have a non-NA snapdragon model that is bootloader unlockable.
Personally I don't miss root ..a few things, sure, but not enough to make me regret picking up this device

Hi, I use this site for buying https://eu.etoren.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s20-5g-dual-sim-g9810-128gb-grey-12gb-ram. I am from EU and they offer no taxes and customs since they have EU warehouse. It took 7 working days to arrived.

Good price but check Reviews of this site

Awful.

Went for but it was £550, guess should of went for it when it was £530. Paid with PayPal so if anything, I'll get my money back.

When did you order?
Let us know how it goes. I was tempted myself but the reviews scared me a little

Did you ever buy this from Tecobuy?

Ive decided im gonna go to the Samsung shop this week and buy the S20+
I know they are like £899, but I can have some peace of mind it's genuine, it will arrive and I can get it quickly.
Just not looking forward to transferring everything over
Yes I did going for, it gets getting ready to be dispatched
