Hello everyone,
Big problem for the touch screen which is not working fine in a large area, we can clearly see it on the screen recording.
I have already done a factory reset (for another reason), the problem is still here.
I'm not an expert but i guess this is not a problem software can fix?
Thanks for your answers ^^.
EDIT: it's not happening 100% of the time, but when it does, it's a pain in the brain.

Poco F3 delayed touch response to get optimized in next monthly update
Xiaomi executive says Poco F3/Redmi K40 delayed touch response in CoD & PUBG is set to get optimized in next monthly update.
piunikaweb.com
Edit:
I feel most if not all of these software issues will get ironed out with the roll out of MIUI 12.5 for the Poco F3/Redmi K40.
Here are a list of the current issues:
- Overheating/false temperature report with apps the heavily utilize the GPU causing the screen to dim.
- Touch response delay.
- Uneven brightness slider, 300 nits at 85% while the rest of the 15% covers approximately 250 nits.
- 3rd party launcher gestures.
- DC dimming support, it's available in the developer options for Beta firmware but it's not stable according to Xiaomi.
- Screen tint at lower brightness levels (not isolated to Xiaomi phones, it's an OLED thing), can only be reduced with future updates.
- Low volume with 3.5mm adapter, has been improved with the latest update.
- Some phones taking longer to charge, not the less than 1 hour advertised charge times.

Hi, thanks for your answer,
The problem in my case is that an area of the touchscreen is completely unresponsive.
The specific area is shown in the screen recording that i have joined with my post. ^^
I'm just waiting to order my Poco F3.
Xiaomi banned shipping to North America due to pandemic, at first I thought it was because of Trump's ban.
I want to see how the phone runs on Xiaomi.EU firmware which is based on the latest China firmware.
My hopes is it runs better than the Gobal firmware and MIUI 12.5 will fix up the rest of the problems when it's rolled out for the phone.
Currently, there's not other phone that has better value and specs for the price in 2021.

Dude, all of that is so true, but could you bring it to a general post, i'd like to only discuss the specific problem of my device here, thanks .
Well... It seems that the issue is not here 100% of the time, i've shut down the device and now the problem is at least momentarily gone (but it was still there after a factory reset ) perhaps it doesn't happen all the time but when it does it's always located in the same area though, so it's still possible that my device has a physical problem instead of just a software problem .
First time I hear of such issue. Have you tried to swipe that areas while charger plugged/unplugged? Sometimes the current make phones behave less responsive.
You must take under consideration apps you installed, miui optimization, launcher... screen protection. Try to switch view to horizontal and see what happens.
If I were you I would try to replace the phone if the issue can't be solved softwarely. As you said it works after reboot - hardware could not randomly pick that moment to work back again.
Seems like a software issue because the recording software is detecting the touches but the UI is not responding to them
If it was a hardware problem, the recording software should not be able to detect the touches as well.

obviously, hehe, that's the first thing to take under consideration
Seems to me most if not all of the problems on the Poco F3 are software/chipset optimization related.
I'm very anal about these things, this is why I avoided the Samsung S20 FE last year (hardware related ghost touches).
Been searching online for weeks now while I'm waiting to place my order for phone about issues, reviews and first impressions.
Did you remove the plastic screen protector it came with? Some people solved this issue by removing that.
I'm using poco from Wednesday. Today right after I added the previous post I encountered this bug for the first time. How ironic. My down-left side of screen was inactive like in your example. Heck if I know what was that but reboot solved that. It was shortafter I got notification about mi screen recording app update. Coincidence? It looked like there was some invisible windows which covered some part of screen. Maybe this floating window mode I'm not familiar with too much.
I hope its a software issue but i bought a s20 fe and the phone was awesome but the problem was with the digitizer and i waited for 4 to 5 months as Samsung claims it was a software issue but actually it was a bad hardware.
Im experiencing exactly the same problem with my newly-bought POCO F3... seems they haven't fixed it yet after all........(..)
Has anybody found any definitive fix for this issue?

I just bought it two days ago, and happened to me on the bottom right side. The phone received an update, but problem is still there.
I have a new UK F3 (Amazon Prime Day sale), and it updated to 12.5.1 as soon as I turned it on (basically) - and it has the same "dead" area of the touch screen.
It's not just "dead", but touches 'avoid' it, and will jump over it.
I turned of dev options and touch tracking to highlight this.
Both images were a single finger swipe from left to right.
Switched from 120hz to 60hz. rebooted. No change. Back to 120hz. rebooted. No change.
This last photo is the most unusual - this was a single straight line from top right to bottom left.
Mine is from UK Amazon also, 12.5.1, no dead areas. No screen protector though.

Try a factory reset (you did a major firmware upgrade). If that doesn't get it, send it back.

Full Review
The F3 looks a lot like the Galaxy S6, but seems different enough to not be called a clone. Specifications of the phone include a 5-inch HD display, the new MediaTek MT6753 octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM and a 2200mAh battery. Cameras, or at least the 13 mega-pixel main camera on the rear, will be a Samsung unit — a far cry from the usual IMX214 that you get to see.
Pricing is set at US$149, which although isn’t crazy impressive, does sound good for a phone with a decent set of specs and more importantly, good build quality, which we hope will be the case with the Doogee F3. Surprisingly, there’s no mention of a fingerprint scanner which seems to have become stable for Chinese phones. (Source: http://www.gizchina.com/2015/06/26/doogee-f3-launch-specs)

Hi there,
I hear some complaints about Doogee F3 Pro seems to classify quite a lot of apps as incompatible with this device. Does the normal F3 also having these issues?

Not a lot, but some I guess, for example the Google Plus app. That also don't work on the F3.

Ok, any idea how to solve that? Some people are talking about flashing
GAPPS. But for that you need to have root I suppose.
is there anyone who rooted this phone? (and how, with which app?)
There are 2 variants stated by google.
One using SuperSU, the other srsRoot or something like that.
I'm sorry i can't post links since i'm a newbie.
I also have issues with the camera apps.
Will try testing it and see what logcat has to say on the issue.
I had a chinese recovery mode, so I can't install SuperSU from zip
SuperSU installed form Google Play has "no SU binary installed... you need to manually re-root"
srsroot isn't have connection with ADB device
aplications like KingRoot says that there is a problem with root and break
I don't know how I should to do...

Depends on where you're from.
I'm from the EU, so i picked EU-direct DealExtreem. However, if you prefer that the phone has a longer warranty time than 6 months, like DX offers, <- okay i was wrong here. Just spoke with the CS and they told me it ha 1 year of warranty.
then i'd recommend you go here and pick a store you find good.
I see you get 12 months of warranty at DealsMachine.com, banggood.com, pandawill and Gearbest. I believe most of these stores are good, if you're willing to get shipped from china, i think banggood also has overseas warehouses.

Thanks for this info. I have noticed that a recent OTA update will resolve these issues. Unfortunately I cancelled my order already because of continuous postponement of shipment. Now I ordered an Umi Emax Mini. Maybe I will try the Doogee F3 Pro in the near future.
I am an owner of a doogee f3 pro. It was true that the phone classified quite a lot of apps as incompatible, but this problem was completely solved with the recent (17/11/2015) OTA update. Benefits of the phone: OTA updates anailable. Very fast, very nice full hd display and also very good camera and video. Beautiful phone with metal frame and glass back. The gsm network signal is also very good. In fact, its the best i have ever seen!! I could even made phone calls in some places where with other phones i would only get "emergency calls only." Now, the not so good things: Battery is not impressive at all. I think it was needed a bigger battery for an octa core phone. You can make out a whole day with medium use only (ex only phone calls and limited use of internet and games). GPS locks quickly on 19, even on 20 satellites (GPS+GLONASS) with very good signal and gps accuracy of 2, sometimes even 1 meter! The gps performance on an android device can be measured easily and with great accuracy using gps tools from google play store. This is the best gps performance i have ever seen on a smartphone!!! an. Wifi signal is, however, lower than other android phones. Tested with plenty of 2.4 ghz wifi routers. If you are near the router, no problem. But if you are, for example, in a place where with other phones you are connected with only one or two wifi signal bars, with this phone you will have lost signal completely. Back speaker volume is loud enough, but sound quality could have been better. Front speaker is fine. And a last thing that it does not have a magnetic field sensor. If you are not using any apps that need a compass (ex google sky), then not a problem at all. Otherwise, you cannot use this kind of apps. In conclusion, its a great phone with only limitations battery life and the lo wifi signal. Could lo wifi signal be fixed with an OTA update? Lets see if doogee will take some action.
any solutions for the low wifi power?

No solution so far. I cannot know if it is a hardware or software issue. I send message to doogee official and they told me that they will solve it with a software update. Lets see if its indeed a software issue and if they can solve it with an OTA update. Except this small issue, it seems to be a very good phone. I am generally very satisfied.

The Elephone S7 does not have capacitive buttons. You can either use on-screen buttons or the home key. Tapping it once is back, tapping it twice is home. Pressing it once is home, pressing it twice is feature key.

Nope, it is not. There are no capacitive buttons next to the home button.
That's what I say. Maybe I got something wrong in your post, sorry. I thought you meant two capacity buttons next to the home key.
I have it too, but I am not impressed at all right now. Touch screen is ****, software is buggy, it runs slow and camera lenses are screwed up - again!
Let's see what they can fix with software updates. The worst thing is the touch panel. The resolution seems too low. Scrolling is very laggy, accuracy is kinda bad and I also had some ghost touches when I went from the house into the cold. I hope its just the calibration like on a couple of Elephone devices before.
Camera sensor seems good, but as I said, they use a cheap module like on previous phones. The lenses are ****. Pictures are blurred on the lower area. You can check samples here: https://goo.gl/photos/8mchLbuuZAqPqw596
SmartPhonesFan said:
but there should be screen calibration in settings no ?
Click to expand...

No, modern phones don't have that anymore. With calibration I don't mean that old thing you had on phones years back, where you had to tap on a moving cross. I am talking about the touch panel configuration which is part of the touch IC firmware. This one is a lot more complex and can only be updates with firmware updates, except you got a special tool to write it into the touch controller.
SmartPhonesFan said:
I have checked pictures and they are very good.. I thought they will be even worse.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I told you the sensor is good. Just the lenses are not. Check the landscape shots and look at the bottom of the pictures. You will see heavy blurring there which is caused by bad lenses. Almost all Elephone devices have this and it's a shame they never invest a few cents more into their camera modules. Optics and software optimization are far more important than the camera sensor itself after all.

Nope. At least I don't think so. Demanding that basic stuff works flawlessly doesn't have anything to do with high demands IMHO. I guess having tested more than 200 Chinese phones in my life qualifies me to judge what's good and what's bad, uh? :laugh:

That actually was the first thing I did. And I am in close contact with Elephone. All bugs and flaws are forwarded to them and I actually get beta builds of the firmware for testing already. Currently running the beta build of the upcoming OTA which should arrive next week. Few bugs have been solved already, but the big ones are still there. The S7 has a long way to go. Just like the P9000 had. Right now it's not suitable for daily use I think. They released it too early. Or their software guys have been too slow. See that in whichever way you want, haha.

@SmartPhonesFan: Calibration won't help with bad configuration. The resolution is too low. @flayer75: 4GB version. The phone right now scores around 5 hours screen-on time at lowest brightness in PC Mark battery test with the CPU profile set to balanced. Not the best for a Helio X20 / 3,000mAh combo.

Got a new firmware build for testing today. Touch panel is a bit more responsive now but still not perfect. System performance is a little better but also not perfect yet. They also fixed a bug which randomly reverted the keyboard back to the default one, wen using a third party keyboard. Good to see them taking care about my bug reports. Let's hope the touch will be fully fixed with the next release!
By the way: If anyone in here owns an Elephone S7 as well, feel free to report bugs here. I will forward it to my contact at Elephone right away.

Hi,
Nice you are active at XDA-Developers as well now
People reached out to us, asking to support elephone s7 with our software.
We now created a poll, and added s7 as option:
https://m.facebook.com/MediatekAndroidDevelopers/
But I didn't get any information about elephone planning to release source code. Maybe you know something?
Cheers
Thanks for the warm welcome!
I don't have any information regarding the source code yet. I asked my contact, but she doesn't know anything yet but promised to inform me once she does.
I use a Pixel 3a XL for some time now. (got also a new replacement phone 1,5 month ago, so fully fresh)
It was working very good and responsive with Android 9, even better with Android 10.
But after the update to Android 11, everything feels much slower, lag in apps, starting apps etc.
I already did a full wipe, factory reset, a few times, but this doesn't help.
How to make the phone (1,5 month old) feels as good as it was with Android 10 again?
I know that I can flash a custom ROM, but if possible I want to keep the original ROM.
Thanks already for the tips and tricks.
Granted my days of flashing ROMs and tinkering with Android are well gone, I heated that performance is indeed less than ideal on Android 11, especially compared with 10. So I clean flashed official 10 and installed Elemental X kernel and magisk. Security patch is out of date, but the phone is smooth and stable, with exceptional battery life, def better than stock 10, not to mention 11.
Just my experience. YMMV.
Los is currently based on 10 and is updated weekly. Is what I run as also wasn't impressed with 11
I had pretty much the same problem updating 10 to 11. I flashed 2 monthlies and 11 was noticeably laggier and slower than 10. I was thinking I was going to have to buy a new phone. I first tried to do a full wipe and flash from scratch and that resolved it. It was a night and day difference. Been 2 or 3 weeks now since I did that and I'd venture to say that its about the same speed/responsiveness now as it was on 10.
Is anyone seeing performance restored to Android 10 level now that Dec 2020 udpate is out?

2)texting photos not working ,text goes though but if a photo is attached nothing goes thorugh(TMO) ,
3)visual voice mail not working in phone app(TMO)
4)using volume rocker in any way stops all sound and crashes app or stops phone from ringing , once i touch volume rocker in either direction all sound stops
5)trusted voice unlock not working, option not available
6)smart lock trusted device not working , relocks phone after a couple minutes ,tried multiple bluetooth devices make no difference phone always relocks
7)android auto automatically launches at random for no reason
8) android auto auto launch setting problem, add car bluetooth to auto launch android auto
exit settings , go back to settings, no devices listed for autolaunch , automatically deletes all auto launch devices
9) screen is not able to be used during a call in progress
screen blinks on and off while trying to use the screen during a call
10) Android auto in completely broken and unuseable now
11) google assistant is completely broken and unuseable now
says it can not reach google ,(on LTE with full bars or with wifi on on and LTE)
or it just pulls up a list of suggested things to say no matter what you try to do
or if it does register what you say it is so far off it's ridiculous , ,example: "hey google turn of the bedroom light" , registers as "jennifer" and it either does nothing or results in a google search
not able to be used for navigation, or smarthome control at all in any ways because of aforementioned issues
this phone is a piece of trash ,android 11 is a garbage fire
and Google is a criminal enterprise who refuse to honor warranties
my phone is less that 2 weeks old , bought brand new at big box store and google refuses to honor the warranty and replace my phone
i do not not what this POS, i would at least like to get a new phone running Pie
My dad has the exact same phone on the exact same carrier (T-mobile) and has not updated and i don't think he is experiencing most of these issues, probably issues with assistant auto but he never uses it so i can't really say
all i can say is that google engages in criminal behavior , they pulled the same BS with my nexus 6p's , they sold me 2 defective phones and then refused to honor the warranty with 8 months left on the warranty, i called literally hundreds of times and never got anywhere
only years later did i ever get any resolution , $200 from a class action suit for each phone when i paid over $600 for each phone had to wait almost 5 years and only got less than 1/3 of my money back not to mention all the wasted time and aggravation of dealing with these slippery slimy criminals and their games denying me my warranty

I use a Pixel 3a XL for some time now. (got also a new replacement phone 1,5 month ago, so fully fresh)
It was working very good and responsive with Android 9, even better with Android 10.
But after the update to Android 11, everything feels much slower, lag in apps, starting apps etc.
I already did a full wipe, factory reset, a few times, but this doesn't help.
How to make the phone (1,5 month old) feels as good as it was with Android 10 again?
I know that I can flash a custom ROM, but if possible I want to keep the original ROM.
Thanks already for the tips and tricks.

where did you buy your phone? how did you get google to honor the warranty? does your uncle work at Nintendo or something?
i had 3 google phones they refused to honor warranty on every single one of them even tough phones were nearly brand new in mint condition(not that they ever even asked or that ever got far enough along in the process where that would be relevant) with many many months left on the warranty ,

I bought my phone at Belsimpel in The Netherlands. They imported the Pixel phones, because they are not sold here officially.
After my complaints, they send my phone to Google NL, they replaced my phone without any problem.
Sometime before this Pixel I had a Pixel 2 XL, also with issues, this phone I bought at Saturn in Kleve, Germany, just over the border. I got in contact myself with Google, and I also got a brand new phone without any problem.
So maybe I was lucky...

oh ok ,i am in the US so maybe it's the region that makes the difference
because in the states you have a better chance of hitting the lottery and being struck by lightning on the same day than getting them to honor their warranties
I've noticed that over the past months now, my 3a XL is not performing as it used to. There's definitely more "jank" and stutterings and sputterings that didn't used to be there. Had it since December 2019 and been pleased with it since. But of late it's one thing or the other.
For example, the camera app takes eons to come on, laggy when i switch modes. There's just very noticeable lag in all areas when generally using the phone. A restart helps a bit, before it goes back to laggy-ness.
A bit disappointed at this pure Android device acting this way.
Not noticing much degradation here. Maybe occasional stutter (when say opening Play Store to check for available updates), but I can't remember when it didn't to that.
Even the overnight battery consumption (which was bad for a while, reported by many) has now dropped to around 0.5%/hr after something (?) got updated. I have always chosen to manually set as many apps as practical to Restricted background use. I also don't force close any apps (e.g. Greenify them) unless I suspect they're giving trouble, only Clearing them all from the multitasking pane before I go to sleep. Adaptive battery is on. Stock. Unrooted.
for everyone in here complaining about battery and stuttering issues I would suggest you try loading up MVK kernel
[KERNEL] [Android 12] [v12.9] MVK - Maximum Velocity Kernel
For those familiar with Velocity Rom this is the kernel I build for it. Velocity hasnt been on XDA as a rule so Im sure not many are familiar. Velocity is my personal Rom Ive been building for years and have shared with all that are interested...

If you read through the support page of the red magic 5 and the rwd magic 3, you'll get an idea into what your paying for.
Almost non existinal software support outside of china. Some games like Pubg stop working on basically every update (of pubg) Nubia are months behind in fixing those bugs.
The 5s is over 5 months behind in updates, and still don't have Android 11.
Some software bugs like setting default apps for things like certain links to open in apps,
Reddit, youtube etc dont work.
The sd888 is currently over heating in every model of phone made with it. With exception of the RM6 but only if you use the Ice dock while gaming. So expect to need to buy that additional accessory to get the best performance out of the device. Or if not expect it to over heat a few minutes into any heavy high graphic / demanding game.
Sure maybe after some months of bug fixes it may be better, but yoy only need to read the 5s/5s unofficial support page to read how many things have been done and what people have been dealing with since buying Nubia's last phone.
... Personally im very happy with my purchase. RM5s with latest stock rom is solid. I dont play pubg so i dont care about the people moaning about it. Everyrhing else seems to run very well, with exception to the default apps selection not saving your choices to always open in this app, its a beast of a phone.
Sd888 overheating and using way more power than the 865, for almost the same performance for me personally is not worth it.
But if you do decide to to go for the RM6, good luck. Don't say you were not warned whwn something is not right and you get a cold shoulder from nubia support. Good prediction, Android 12 is get released for the chinese varient, but global will be left behind.
Like the series 3 and currently series 5.
There are rumors that android 11 will release for series 5 soon. But series 3 global is still over 11 months behind china and 2 versions of android behind china.
Expect to be ignored as soon as the next nubia device is announced.
I already got one, with CN rom, unfortunately. I'm waiting for the global rom right now.
Currently, the phone have a few annoying issues:
1. Vanced YouTube does not work consistently
2. Locked launcher
3. E-sports handle does not work in several games, e.g. LOL WildRift
4. FFBE WoTV quits randomly
5. Overheating issue is real
That being said, the screen, sc888's performance, and the charging speed are the saving grace of this flawed device, love dat screen and the snappiness. Whether or not those would justify your purchase, your call.
I already put it on secondhand market, but if no one takes it, I won't get salty ...too much.

You have to wait for the ROM update. In order to solve the problems you mentioned above Are you my customer in Thailand?
I've got one and I'm playing PUBG Mobile, Arena of Valor and Genshin Impact.
It's Chinese ROM but easy to install Play store by apk file, and remove all Chinese apps. Play store work perfectly, with Play Protect. I even think this is an global ROM.
It had not any issues, at least for 3 days I've been using it.
Just preordered, was between this or the rog phone 5.
I like to try new manufacturers so never having tried red magic before was a factor. The 2 biggest negatives for me on the red magic 6 is that the 5g is only for china (no NA 5g bands), and official rom support, mentioned above in better detail. Would have also liked to see 2 front facing speakers as the downward one will be blocked by vice style gamepads. But are these things worth double the price for the rog phone 5? Since I went with the red magic the answer for me is no. Since I'm mostly on wifi the 5g isn't a deal breaker. In general I'm usually not in a situation where my mobile bandwidth speeds are the bottle neck in enjoying an experience, like streaming music.
For me the most important part is the gpu/888 chipset and high refresh. Check and check. Getting the cyberpods for free ($50) and free shipping was nice too.

Hmm thanks for the detailed feedback. So if I buy the UK version, which I assume is the global, I cannot change it to Chinese rom?

Technically you could change it. But it wont change the bands you will have available to you. Rm6 uses the exact same 5G bands as the RM5. Chinese rom also comes with uninstallable bloatware, loads of data tracking apps, locked launcher, and a bunch of other limited features. If its anything like Android 10 on the 5 series.
Many many people in the UK and parts of europe have 5g connectivity issues with the 5g/5s so dont expect 5g to work and if it does, it will work poorly unless you're basically standing next to the tower.
Overall, chinese roms may get updated, but they will be bogged down with limted features (that you cant even use outside of China) and forced apps.
Not to mention, if the modem fikes happen to get flashed at the same time it could cause connectivity issues on all bands and networks.
The potential to really **** up is high.
But as i said above if you really want to see what you'd be getting yourself into nust read through the issues and software bugs on the support pages for the 5 series and 3 series device.
Its a pretty clear possible future, since Nubia has so far been doing the same thing as they did with the series 3 devices.

Is the overheating in normal (non-gaming) operation or are you referring to gaming?
I just ordered the 6 pro. Reading through some of these comments makes me leary but one thing I've found over my many years on Android is that no two people's experience is the same. I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of my 6 pro. I'm in the US by the way.

Beast is absolutely right. I got the international 6 pro with 16gb ram and it is an absolute beast. I'm attaching a screenshot of my antutu score.

Just received my phone i am using T-Mobile in California. Phone works great so far.
Hello everyone,
I'd really like to buy this phone, I know it's about 4 years old.
I have some questions about the compatibility with different apps.
Does the Nova Launcher works on this ? I don't care about Gestures ....
What about the YouTube Vanced and AoD Notify ?
Are there some custom ROMs ?
What are the cons right now, here in Europe ( Germany ) with this mobile phone ?
I do not care about 5G. 4G should be more than enough for me.
Any advices are welcome, thank you
Get the Note 10+ instead; better specs, more ram and up 1tb expandable storage. The Exynos variants can be rooted but the Snapdragon variants are faster. Excellent build quality and it's a running machine.
6 GB ram and 128 GB memory should be okay for me

Never can have too much ram or storage, 256/12gb is the base model. One of the best displays out there. Best display to bezel ratio of anything out there. Very good cams.
Personally I take One UI over Nova; faster, capable, more efficient and very stable.
Only possible deficiency is no 3.5mm jack.
No variable refresh rate and ones with no 5G get very good SOT once optimized. These will run extremely well stock and as such the UI is very customizable.

Nova works, at least on global version.
I bought a second hand mate 20x after a Xiaomi mi mix, and it's the best choice for sure. There is no other screen like this. And everything works all right, all the software, cameras, battery for 2 days long... It's unbeatable in every way.
even with foldables you get a smaller video in 16:9 ratio and you always enjoy the full screen.
i have a book case and it's like a foldable but without the problems of battery, breakable, etc

i have a book case and it's just like a foldable but without the problems of battery, breakable, etc. It has dropped several times and no problems so far. Huawei book case is very good for this phone.
Vanced YouTube works as well. FNG gestures works perfect without root.
I can't root or install any different firmware. I thought I was going to miss it from my Xiaomi mi mix, but not so much. I just can't use Titanium backup and can't get rid of all the ads, but I can use dns.adguard.com as a private DNS and it avoids quite some ads.
It's running EMUI 12 and Huawei is still updating its kernel...
Even if I could spend 2000€ in another phone and 20x would cost the same I would choose 20x any time just for the aspect ratio and big unbeatable screen, speakers, robustness and battery optimization.

I still rock mine with long battery life of 7 - 9 days under medium use.
My global phone at one point had Nova launcher but eventually it was uninstalled because Nova eats away at battery. Besides, the phone is faster and snappier without it.
Vanced still works on it which is crazy cool.
For installing custom roms, downgrading to 9.0/9.1 is a necessity. But doing so may render newer apps inoperable. Personally, EMUI 12 is better than any version before it - even though its bootloader is locked and installing custom roms is a no no.
Cons for Germany? I cant say since I'm not in Europe.
The only 2 idiotic annoyances with the phone are: 1) auto brightness is enabled at startup and 2) notifications to update to network time. Although the notifications dont happen a lot theyre still annoying. Had there been none of these issues, the phone would be perfect.
At one point, I was thinking of selling it and buying the Note 20 ultra which can be upgraded to One UI 5.1, a very nice UI upgrade touch. But in the end I found myself keeping my 20x because of its wide aspect ratio (which unfortunately phone makers have abandoned as I'm still scratching my head over that) and bigger screen even though the Note 20 Ultra may have sharper resolution. However, if one day my 20x does become broken I will not buy another 20x. Instead I'll buy the N20U.
If you have more questions let me know.

As I said before, and as you can see in my "Spanish screenshot" above, kernel and security patch from Huawei are from February 2022, and mainline software update (Android update from Google) is from 2023. It's already 2023-02-01

Appreciate that. I have 2 questions..
1) If you could get the Note 20 Ultra brand new in exchange for the 20x would you exchange it?
2) I keep getting notifications on "network time unavailable" to enable location. How do I disable this annoying notification?
1) Not even a S23 Ultra. Why? Mainly because I'd lose almost 1cm width and 1cm height of screen with the same weight. I'm sure the battery wouldn't last as long, the fingerprint wouldn't work as well, and most probably the UI would be a little faster with 120Hz but again, with a lot of battery drain, I'd miss the 3.5 audio jack and the super speakers from the Mate 20X. I'm not a gamer, but gaming would be something that probably would run faster in the S23 Ultra compared to the Mate 20X. I don't use a Stylus. Phone camera sensors are limited by their size. For the rest I'm sure there is no real gain. Whatsapp, Youtube and Chrome are my main usage of the phone and all I need is the biggest screen and better sound as possible.
2) No clue

Got to say you're wrong about the battery comparison. The s23 ultra"s battery greatly exceeds the one in the 20x by far.
Maybe...
