Yup
I ordered on the first day and got Black. I must say it was a bit of an impulse buy but after reading all the reviews and watching the videos I think I will be really happy!
When are they supposed to arrive?
They are supposed to ship them at the of April, so you will get them in May...
By the way, you can get the student discount applied even if you have already ordered..
Simply send them a support ticket with your order ID and voucher ID - you will get €39 back to your PayPal then.
-> final price €360.
They actually refund 40 €
That is an excellent bit of advice, thanks!
Bad news on the delivery times actually as I think I had it in my mind that it would be arriving next week . I'd better remove the ad I put up for the old phone...

How's the screen under sunlight?
Are the speakers loud enough?
Can you please upload the stock camera app?
No idea as I don't actually have it yet These questions and more can be answered once they actually ship it.

Here in US it is on preorder as well. $500 looks like a good deal considering competitors SGS5 $700 and HTC 1 M8 $700 as well. I use phone mostly for playing HD music so audio chip is essential for me. Unfortunately it isn't revealed, so I only keep hope that Oppo being a company putting certain efforts on creation different consumer electronics can do audio reproduction right. I do not know how Kamerton player will look on this so high resolution screen. It can switch to tablet mode and I would like to avoid it.
Anybody else consider SGS5 and HTC 1 and what was your take?

according to some reviews on youtube, the MaxxAudio is quite something to expect.

I've just placed my order yesterday as well.
nice to see another UK user here! XD
Just got the student discount applied! Sweet, thank you Oppostyle
I ordered mine last week. The black US version. Looking forward to it. I hope they start shipping soon!! :good:
I considered both of these but ultimately went with the Oppo because the price was right for an off -contract phone and I'll want to pick up a new one next year after seeing the Qualcomm 2015 roadmap, so not prepared to get tied into an 18-24 month contract!
Also I wanted to give Oppo a chance, they seem to be taking some risks in terms of phone design and I've had the last two Galaxy S versions so something different is on the cards. I may well be the only person in Ireland that buys one, but if there are any other Irish buyers out there you don't have to feel lonely anymore!

I'm in too! With student discount and free gifts I couldnt resist
S5 and M8 are huge disappointments for me... Oppo Find 7a seems to be a perfect phone for me... Just the Color OSwith Android 4.3 and the huge display are things I am not that happy about... But we will see
Picked up mine last month in an Oppo shop in Shenzhen while I was traveling around in China. Very happy with it so far, although I wasn't able to install Google services until yesterday.
Eagerly waiting for some custom roms now!
@vegetaleb: The screen is pretty good under sunlight I'd say. I found the screen to be brighter and clearer than my HTC One M7.
Are the speakers loud enough?
YES! When you turn on MaxxAudio, you'll want to go into the settings right away and turn down the volume. I haven't compared the quality of the speaker to my HTC One yet (it has stereo speakers in the front feat. Beats), but with MaxxAudio turned on you can crank up the bass, treble, volume, etc. This way the sound is pretty awesome for a phone! It's And when using your ear/headphones the sound is just perfect.

Can you say something about the battery life in standby? Would be interesting to know for me who much the device drains per hour when in standby.
Yessss !! I bought the midnight Oppo Find 7a for France !
I hope to have it soon !!
Just would like to know if anyone is already using this phone ?
I ordered the ZTE Axon 7 (4GB) on Amazon - never got the gray one...
Thought about buying the Lonovo Zuk pro2 but don't like no sd-slot !
So I ordered the Asus with 6GB / only 64GB version is available right now.
Should be delivered in apr. 8 days.
My 256gb 6gb Ram version was mailed to me yesterday... Waiting for it though it may take around 5 days....
Waiting SUX!!!!!
Yes I got mine on Saturday.
Really loving it so far

Where did you buy the 256GB version?? US?
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have it !
I came from ZF2 to this. Purchased from Taiwanese EBay seller. Deluxe ZS570KL ,820, 64GB
Loving it. Disabled all the bloat until root is provided. This things so fast you don't even know its there anway. I'm a huge fan of vanilla, so Installed Google Launcher. Perfection.
CONS so far:
- Sim cover is loose fitting. This seems to be widespread - im tempted to put a pinhead blob of bluetack in there, as its the door, not the tray. Such a small issue.
- Its so well made its slippery, similar to the HTC10. Case is on the way so wont be an issue after that
- Understandably, Battery life is a < day. I have so many chargers around, its not an issue for me.
PROS so Far:
- Fast
- Screen is gorgeous.
- Photo quality is amazing.
- It has not spontaneously exploded in my pocket in close proximity to my balls
- Overall, as a package, I'm super happy. Its a flagship killer.
My one missing feature would be wireless charging.... but there's so much inside this small package already, that I understand why its not.
Quite happy to help with any root/bootloader/rom projects when someone something gets underway in the forums.
Cheers, Mike
I've got a Snapdragon 821, 6gb ram, 256gb rom version as well.

Seller on ebay... also got the tempered glass protector and the flip case...
The flip case is stuck on with the sticky stuff they have on phone holders... It is an ASUS case...
Don't have a problem with the sim cover, in really tight - 6gb 256gb Snapdragon 821 version..
Case is great, it sticks on well and no issues with it as yet.
Very quick, no real problems there.
Amazon app store keeps force closing - old version of Amazon appstore. Downloaded new one and everything works fine...
Otherwise no problems, though funnily enough I haven't actually called anyone yet...
64GB/6GB/820 Was delivered this morning. Took only a day and half to get to me!!! Was very impressed! ASUS nailed it. Beautiful phone! Even more beautiful in person. I was extremely impressed. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A ROOT/CUSTOM ROM on this thing!
@ GodKingKnight: Where did you buy ?
I did not receive mine....same as with the ZTE...no luck with those new phones.

No, no shipping info either...
I asked Asus store USA but they won't deliver to Europe. I should get some one from within the USA to ship to and then send to me.
Only Asus store where the 5.7" ones are listed is the Spain one, but none is on stock.
hey any comparisons with the one plus 3?

You could order it from ebay, this is what I did.
I ordered the 820/6GB/64Gb variant straight from the ASUS store on Amazon. It comes with US warranty but the expected ship date isn't until Nov 22.

I did that too... I am thinking of ordering it from bhphotovideo.com which says shipping on Nov 10, or Newegg which says Nov 1. I like Amazon because of ease of returns in case something is wrong...

Hi everyone!
Wondering if anyone can point me to a decent/good no-name head unit? I have a Ford explorer with a double din opening. Looking for something on the cheaper side but don't mind paying extra at all if it's money well spent.
I work for USPS delivering mail so it would be REALLY NICE to if I could somehow load a route into navigation and have it run from the head unit instead of my phone. Have had problems finding something that works decent even on my phone but think I've found something that sort of works. I am a sub so I'll be learning and helping on many different routes over the next few years and this would be a tremnedious help untill I get the route memorized! Otherwise I wouldn't even worry if it was just one route.
Would also LOVE LOVE LOVE it if I could make the unit become a DVR for a dash cam. Support for multiple cameras would be a huge bonus. But I'm also thinking a dedicated backup camera with DVR support would probably work better...maybe!
Could careless about CD capability.
I've never played with one before to be honest but really hoping for one that can be rooted. I have pleanty of experience with phones and tablets. (I am on a grandfathered unlimited data plan so not worried about data.)
Would also like to consider name brand units if anyone knows which ones are Android based. Alpine is my favorite and don't care much for pioneer but will def consider it if it'll do what I need it to.
I just purchased yesterday a Pumpkin 8.0 direct from their website (autopumpkin.com). Sounds like we are looking for the same functions - navigation, cameras, etc. I am installing this into a 2008 Toyota Tundra, and found the need for a backup camera as soon as I bought it. You didn't define "cheap", This unit is $310 including shipping.
Another unit i considered is the xtron TE706PL. A little cheaper at $290 on Amazon. Both units are 4G ram and 32G rom. I went with the Pumpkin because I wanted the volume knob.
Best of luck in your hunt!
Any update on what you choose and performance?

I have owned an universal Dasaita HU and highly appreciated. I also recommended to my 10 friends to upgrade their entertainment system with Dasaita. They all really enjoyed.
Is there any dedicated app for back view camera of android head unit? Having camera settings etc
hello, not new to android been modding for many years but this will be my first jump into a android head unit. this will be for my wife's car and she wants the dash to remain stock and anything wider then stock will partially or fully block the middle 2 main ac vents. so she limited me to the standard 7" screen size.
im looking at the max6 and one from xtrons px6 version which does not have the dsp chip but they offered me the chip if i buy the unit from them included.
im reading of some issues with the max6 here at xda and wanted to know if that is the norm with this model? and how is xtrons overall these days i was reading they were decent but those threads seem to be pretty old and i dont want to revive them. otherwise is there any specific model px6 7" unit anyone here can directly recc to me? any help would be appreciated. ive spent hours reading all sorts of threads but many of them are older threads now about px5 or px3 units.
also does anyone expect anything new from ces this year chip wise? though i dont know how many of these china companies show there. i sawe dasaita has in the past.
thanks!

I grabbed the xtrons tq709ipl because its got the px6, is known to be compatible with some roms here, and the price was better than dasiata's comparable px6. Like you mentioned the xtrons doesn't have a DSP, i'm not an audiophile so i don't really know about features I wont be able to judge. What I've read is that the chip in the xtrons even without a DSP is still "better" than most name brand head units out there. amazon is running a $20 coupon right now too (as of 2/19/202), so that was nice. Shipping from hong kong only took 3 days too somehow, so that was cool.
With either of them be prepared to modify the double-din dash kit if you need one for your car. The android head unit faceplates are a few mm larger than North American big brand units like pioneer, jvc, sony, etc.
Good news is I've read enough to conclude all px6 based units are essentially the same guts, and roms will generally work on any of them. So you should just decide: what faceplate you like better between the two, does the DSP really matter to you, and then look at cost and how quick you can get it!
Good luck!
Hi,
As per title, I have decided I want one of these HUs with the RK3399 and the MTCD/E MCU. I plan to flash with a custom ROM as soon as I have tested it and before installation.
History: had a Joying 10 inch a few years ago, hated it, want to do it right this time!
The vehicle (in my case) is a 2009 Toyota Prado 120 (similar to the Lexus GX470) RHD, The units I am looking at are full ctr console replacements with fascia and vertical screens.
After wading through the seemingly endless mire of Aliexpress listings and producing a shortlist, I am still a little overwhelmed and confused; prices and specs seem to be all over the place and in many places are contradictory. I'm an eBay kid, I have hardly used Ali before.
Of course, once I shorten my list a little bit more, I will get in contact with each seller to verify hardware specs and make sure I'm getting excatly what I am paying for.
So to help me (and maybe others having a read!) I have a few questions to help me filter out the 'too good to be trues' and the outright liars.
1. Hardware - does the fact that the unit has a RK3399 mean it is definitely a MTCD/E MCU?
2. Hardware(again) - does the fact that they state PX6 necessarily mean its a 3399?
3. Resolution - I have seen all manner of resolutions stated here... the most common seems to be 1024*760/600 but there are a fair few listings saying 1920*1080... which definitely piqued my interest. Is this an outright lie or is it possible that they really do have 1920*1080 displays? (my guess is they're listing it as a "yes it can display 1920*1080 content" and not necessarily actual screen res.)
I would love a true 1080 display but it's potentially too good to be true!
4. Screens - What specifically (if anything) should I look out for/ask about in relation to the screen? model number? some say IPS, some don't.... Are they all the same? (they certainly look pretty similar!)
5. AliEx stores - If anyone has any honest stores they would like to suggest I'm all ears(eyes?) Or even other outlets to buy these things? (eBay doesn't have much listed for my car) The stores I am shortlisting are ones that have decent ratings (obviously) and have been established for more than a year.
6. Anything else? tricks for new players?
Bear with me - its a solid chunk of cash and a decision I will have to live with for some years!
Yes it's my first post - have used the forum over the years for all sorts of information, hopefully I can give some back!
I'll have a go at answering some of your questions, but I'm fair new to this whole Android head unit game so if I'm wrong someone will hopefully correct me.
What was is it specifically about the Joying unit that you hated that you hope will be addressed by a new unit?

1) MTCD/E are MCU's manufactured by Microntek, but there are other manufacturers of MCUs out there than can be paired with the PX6, so there is no guarantee that a RK3399 means that the unit is fitted with an MTCD/E MCU
2) My understanding is that the RK3399 is a generic SoC, PX6 is a verson of the RK3399 specifically tailored for use in head units.
3) I don't know, but I would be wary of anyone claiming 1920 x 1080
4) Not sure
5) I bought a unit from Dasaita on AliExpress. It definately wasn't straightforward (first unit was sent to some other destination, they had to send me a replacement via DHL). But they did at least try to get things sorted ina timely manner. I chose Dasaita (aka hot-audio) mainly because they do post here on XDA. They are also on eBay, but the prices on Ali are better.
6) The aftermarket service from Dasaita leaves something to be desired, but from what I can see, none of them are very good at this. But I guess that's the price you pay for buying a cheap head unit. Overall, I'm very happy with my Dasaita PX6 unit, but i've only had it installed for a month, so early days.
Anyway, I hope that this is of some help to you, and good luck with your search!

Hey thanks for the reply!
The Joying unit was likely my own fault for not doing enough research prior to purchase, paid too much for too little I guess.
It worked well for a while but progressively got slower until it was nearly unusable for anything more than a clock and radio, this was quite a few years ago though and I had not found any alternative firmware at the time, I eventually just formatted it for some minor improvement and sold the car anyway.
With this new unit I will be running hal9k from the start instead of the default firmware and am expecting fairly smooth operation. It will be used for offline raster maps while I am out in the bush
Thanks for the information regarding the hardware, I still had a few grey areas in my mind there so that helps clear a bit up.
I wanted to use Dasaita as they seemed to be recommended but they do not sell to suit my model.
I will start making some enquiries today and see if I can get any clarification on those 1920 displays.
Cheers!
