Does SGN II White turn yellow over a period of time ?

Guys,
I am in the process of buying the SGN II - the best smartphone available these days, now I am in sort of limbo.
- The Titanium Grey Devices have a distinct gap which gathers dust around the screen, I noticed on approx 10 devices at different stores.
- I read on several blogs that the White device / body of samsung SGN II would turn yellow in about 3 months or so...!!
I am really confused now, I am even thinking if i should get the SGN II or not coz it's going to cost me 36K INR (approx. 654 USD).
Can someone please help me decide ??

Just the grey version gathers dust? Or the white as well, but you can't notice it?

I dont think this is true. I have the white one now going on 2 months now and its fine. If you look close at the White one you will notice that the white is actually not exposed at all. The white is actually coverd under a clear coat which gives it the shine that it has and the pebble smooth touch. So I would not give a penny to what or who ever you heard that from. Now on the back you have the battery door which is exposed and does not have the glass finish over it unlike the front of the phone. I have done this to get the best of both worlds. I have bought a carbon fiber/ Metal case that replaces the battery door on the phone and yes it has NFC built in the case. Does not really affect the signal for me as it replaces the door of the phone not just covers the phone completely and the OEM battery door. You whould check out this Ebay link to the case that I think will help you make up your mind.

Remember If I have helped you in anyway to hit the thanks button for me and also if you have anymore questions please ask.

Unfortatly I just received this cover today and had not tested the NFC located on the back cover. I just now tested it to try and beam pictures from my Galaxy Nexus over to my note 2. With the OEM battery case on the beam works fine but with this one I listed above when I put the case on the beam does not work T.T sorry for the mis information on the case. Looks like its back to using bluetooth which for me NFC is not a deal breaker since I have a international Note 2 so Google Wallet does not work anyways also I perfer blue to to NFC for only when I move pictures from time to time. Again sorry everyone

FAKE NFC

Guys, thanks a lot for your responses, I have bought a White SGN II and loving it. I bought a original Samsung back cover with front flap and it fits like a charm.....3 days with my SGN II and I am loving it. :good:

I think no, its made of plastic

And yet it does. Sure it depends if you smoke, but the backcovers lowest section will change to yellow after a while.

I also noticed that my note 2 at times has yellowish hue but it could just as well be the interior lighting.

Yellow?! maybe it's just the moisture/sweat/grease off the hand, and over a length of time it builds up and stains the phone. Try cleaning it with some perfume that has ethanol in it. Makes your phone look brand new! and it has the feel of a new phone + smells nice. (but dont use too much of course - just a dab on a piece of cloth should do the trick.)

I want to get Mi Max

But I'm undecided. Mi Max or Mi Max 2 . Which device is better? If you were, which one did you take?

I just bought a Mi Max this month. Even though the price is close between them and it's a year old, I choose the original Mi Max due to a stable Lineage OS. I am super happy with my Mi Max running Lineage.

Definitely get the Mi Max as we have lots of development on it and it's actually better than the Mi Max 2. I just ordered a new back cover, fingerprint scanner and volume buttons for the Mi Max a friend gave me (he dropped it and bent the back cover and messed up the volume buttons) and I'll be selling it as soon as I install them.

AliExpress sells them. You can buy almost every part from there. I ordered three spare volume/power button flex cables, a fingerprint scanner, a sim tray and a back cover all from the site. (wanted to replace the gold with Silver) The total cost was around $29 USD.

OnePlus 5T battery Case

Anyone know if there is a battery case currently available for the OnePlus 5t?

I don't even think there is one for the 5 yet let alone the 5T but I could be wrong.

That doesn't help diddly squat unless you live in UAE nations.
This case ain't for delivery to NorthAmerica.
I have another suggestion, and one thats bulky and a tid bit ridiculous, the universal chargemander case that looks like a pokedex is really the solution I can find that does some sort of justice for this phone with the exception that it blocks the camera but hey, at least it doesn't block the finger print sensor kek
I love the 5T, honestly I do, but I feel zerolemon skipped us in favour of the one plus 6. The one plus 5 is great and all but the fear of acquiring a scrolling " jelly effect" unit made me skip the 5. A huge shame really. The 5t is a better phone in every way.
Sad reality that one plus pulled the plug for it in NorthAmerica
Here's that universal chargemander case lmao(select Universal fit Usb-c in scrolling menu)

Is it worth buying now (October 2018)?

Hey,
I'm looking for a new smartphone within 25k INR price budget.
Mix 2 is available for 23k rn and I wonder whether it would be a good idea to buy it or not? I want a daily driver for 2-3 years of use.
I'm a power user ( so gaming/perf, camera, sound, battery are important) and I keep my phones rooted so year old softwares isn't my concern if there are Oreo/Pie ROMs available.
I really like the design of the device, 6GB + 128GB is another benefit.
My doubts are about:-
1. Front Camera placement (is there any othwr way except rotating your phone around for selfies )
2. No headphone jack : This one seems most troublesome, but does the 3.5toTypeC adaptor solves that completely?
My other options are Asus Zenfone 5Z, Realme 2 Pro, Moto One Power or Nokia 7.1 Plus
Any help is greatly appreciated.
TIA

I highly recommend this phone, I upgraded to this from a MI5s and I'm very impressed by the screen and the battery life. If you take a lot of selfies it can be annoying to have to turn the phone around, but it's not really a big deal. If you try to take a selfie without turning it then you get a lot of chin in the pic, not a good angle! The USB C to 3.5mm adaptor works great, I've barely noticed the lack of headphone jack. Just leave the adaptor connected to your headphones and you won't even notice. The one downside to this over my previous phone is the glass, it seems to scratch very easily (I guess it isn't gorilla glass) and if you try to use a screen protector it looks bad because you can't have it go all the way to the edge (it is slightly curved around the edges). In a year's time I think the scratches will be quite obvious so keep that in mind.

It does have gorilla glass but it is coated with an oleophobic layer on top which is prone to scratches

Would you not consider pocophone F1? It's on the same price range as mix 2 but more powerful. It's not as good looking but still...

That's very interesting, I wonder if there is a way to remove that layer? It seems to pick up more fingerprints than my previous phone's too so I'm not really sure of the point of it.
The power difference between the mix 2 and the pocophone isn't going to be very noticeable unless you're playing intensive games, plus there's no notch on the mix 2 which is a huge bonus imo.

yes it is.got mine yesterday for 237 euros,global version brand new
The phone is WAY more impressive in real life than what you see on videos.
835 is still a beast.

I got mine last week. Also from eglobal. I'm super impressed with the phone. For 237euro this is a major beast.

I Have just ordered one from eGlobal the global edition 64gb 6gb ram, can you tell me does the phone come with a free case in the box ?
Also is there an screen protector fitted to the phone ?
Does the usb to audio adapter work for making calls etc? allowing use with regular none MI product headphones ?

It came indeed with a case. No screen protector. I've not used the dongle so i can't tell.

Thank you for your reply, did you order a screen protector? If so do you have a link or one that is recommended to use?

This is the one I ordered. 5D Full Protective Glass for Xiaomi MI MIX 2 6 8 SE 6X A1 A2 lite Redmi Note 4X 4 5 6 Pro 5A Prime 6A Screen Protector Film
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/X3AIXHq

Brilliant looks good, I usually use PayPal for purchases from China , did you use credit card is it secure payment wise ?
Does the screen protector work along side a case ? Or would a case perhaps push off the screen protector?

Mine came with applied screenprotector and hardcase.
I have the global Version 64gb

Excellent , I am hoping for that it would come with a basic one applied already , I tend to just never remove the factory fitted screen protector if it is clear .

read above,there is no screen protector unless it was a box that was opened from the shop.
Mine from eglobal was sealed with no screen protector

The Screenprotektor was already attached to my mix2.
I had to remove a thin Foil

Advice please, my mi mix 2 arrived today.....but the factory fitted screen protector appears to have a strong blue tint (or similar colour) to it , is that correct ? or shoud it be completely clear ?

Mine came without screenprotector

[Q] Redmi Note 8 Frame (Metalic or Plastic?)

Hi all, its been a while since my last thread here at XDA. I´ve been enjoying a lot my RN4 and honestly didn´t find the need or time to mod it. However, it´s been more than two years now using it and it feels more and more slow. Yes, I know, I could put a custom ROM into it and make it fly again, but I was looking at upgrading it, so I can pass my RN4 to my father.
A few months ago I was also checking out the RN7, a great phone spec-wise, but it lacked the Metal Frame. A video on YouTube from JerryRigEverything showed how fragile the phone is when bent. Another tech-tuber from India (maybe tech guruji?) also showed the same thing, the phone isn´t built to resist heavy mechanical stress. And since I need the phone to resist at least 2 years I was looking for a phone with the specs of the RN7 but more robust. Out of nowhere Xiaomi presents the RN8, and I was like: WHAT?!
Phone looks OK, for the price offers a lot IMO. All the features a geek would want. I was looking for the NON-PRO version, since it has SnapDragon. My question is this, does anybody know if the phone has a Metallic OR Plastic frame? Guess I´ll have to wait a bit to find out...

Same plastic material what make youbthink they will put metal on even cheaper phone......metal ia way more expensive....

If you want metallic frame go for Mi A3

Redmi note 5 pro, Redmi note 6 pro and some others have mostly metal bodies.
