Change for Redmi K20 Pro? - Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
Recently I was offered to change my Redmi k20 Pro for a Nubia Red Magic 3. I think the K20 Pro is an overall (camera and development) better phone, but I'm a hardcore PUBG player, about 5 to 6 hours a day (not competitive though) so I was wondering if the gaming experience in the Nubia RM3 was worth the change.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate your oppinions

Does K20 pro have hardware shoulder triggers, 20 percent more battery, or fan cooling for gaming? Can you attach Red Magic 3 accessories to it, like the E-Sports or Pro Handle joysticks, or Magic Adapter that gives you hardware ports like Ethernet?

I personally play competitive pubg and I have no issues with 18 people left In the 7th zone my friend who has a k20 pro keeps complaining about random lags and rendering towards the end of the game and also tells me that it reaches upto 51 degrees well my red magic 3 maintain 39 degrees with no air conditioning

Realme x2 pro Purchase and root warranty in India.

Hello everyone,
I want to buy Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory Variant in India. I am really concerned about warranty after root. I searched Internet couldn't find any clear answer.
I want to ask if I buy Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile and then unlock the bootloader and root the phone will it void the warranty of the phone.
Is there any solution to root the phone but if something goes wrong the phone could be unrooted and make it under warranty.
Kindly help.
Thanks in Advance.

i was excited and i bought it
and i am not happy with the software side of the device AT ALL!
brand is new, development is obviously slow and more over realme was not very keen to make it developer friendly! infact in july they finaly released official flasher!
fingerprint doesn't work once boot is unlocked, atleast i am still trying to find out the method,
the device came with Color OS and now on realmeUI1 , where you must format data if you are flashing with non OPPO recovery (twrp or others) this means you must take all backups always!
the device doesnt go on recovery with KEY combination! like it used to with Xiaomi or sony or samsung!
it only goes to FASTBOOT MODE and from there you must trigger twrp everytime
why does it matter?
so Fastboot boot command DOES NOT WORK on REALME , to trigger device to wake up in recovery!
bootloops are so common that for every bootloop the usual solution is to FORMAT DATA, when i upgraded from June RealmeUI1 C25 version to July RealmeUI1 C29 version, via OrangeFox recovery, it went to bootloops! unless i did FORMAT DATA....
I am coming from PocoF1 which was so flashing friendly!
for me it was a huge mistake to buy this device and now i am stuck with it!
i got carried away with 12gb ram and on lower price! ,
Oh boy still not tired to use every single thread to blame the device?
If you're not happy with it, why just not sell it and buy Poco F2 if you were so happy with the F1? Or 1+ oder Xiaomi Mi or something else?

sharing my honest opion! if you feel thats spamming you may report!
the OT asked my advice and I gave him!
shall i lie just because you are feeling offended?
Sorry, but you didn't answer him his question whether he will void warranty or not...
And btw. things like poor community / dev support are things which you could check BEFORE buying the device to cry afterwards.
@kk100
I don't know whether warranty is void by rooting.
But of course you can lock the bootloader afterwards again if you want to.

Thanks for Sharing your experience. I am not a developer you can consider me less technical details knowledge but I am now using Redmi Note 4 SD version 4gb ram 64gb memory for past three years and I want to mention on many occasions TWRP has saved my device from bricked device to bootloop. I am using Ramexpander app for past 2 year's so created a 3 gb Swap file do total Ram I get is 6.6gb but the phone lags a little bit.I am heavy user no games etc but lot of other apps. I want to purchase a 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile phone which is user friendly where I can easily root and Install some basic app TWRP, Titanium Backup, etc.. The price and features of Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb ram 256gb memory mobile is very appealing and value for money.

i have redmi note4 also, running on HAVOC2.3, and working fine as my office device,
as long as you use Realme x2 pro quietly with no meddling every now and then, the device will work perfect!
frankly I couldn't get REDMI k20 Pro Premium 12gb/512gb version , its also on sd855 and has amazing screen and its very popular device on xda where roms /kernels/mods are concern!
i wanted to buy that but i couldn't find
may be you should go to store hold k20 pro premuim in hand and feel the sense about it
but on hardware side,
realme x2 pro has 90hz screen refresh rate (k20 has 60only but after rooting, there is method to do 81hz)
realme x2 pro has dual loud speakers (K20 has mono)
realme x2 pro brightness is 1000nits where (k20 is 450nits)
but these were not my deal breakers! , i still wanted to buy k20 pro but due to unavailability in my local market! i couldnt

Thanks a lot for your sharing. I will not use my mobile with too much meddling but I want root and twrp etc I will not change roms either. I will look into k20 pro premium 12gb ram 512 gb . For Realme x2 pro I am concerned about rooting and warranty. Xiaomi is fine with rooting and warranty Realme should also follow it. I also think community support is important as if the device gets some problem there is support available for the device.
Thanks very much for replying to people like me who get lost with no support.
P. S. Just saw k20 pro premium 12gb /512. Wow what a phone and incredible specs and almost the same price as Realme x2 pro mobile. If I could get this I will purchase it.

Just ask Realme support. They will give you the answer. I heard that they are ok with rooting and warranty.
Btw. If you want to go with k20pro premium I suggest you to install custom ROM because the stock one is flooded with ads and bloatware. Also you are losing 50W charging. FP is fixed in newer versions of Realme UI (unlocked bootloader).

Thanks for replying. I asked Realme for warranty of device there was no clear specific answer. On internet if I am correct Realme website has mentioned that unlocking the bootloader will not void the warranty but rooting will do that's the confusion.

X2 PRO was REALME's ANSWER to XIAOMI for K20 PRO Premiuim!
K20 was suppose to be pocof2, but they made it as K20 Pro Premium or in global market it was named as Mi9T pro premium, where later K30 released and K30 Pro released and now K30 Pro premium is actually POCO F2
so basically twrp for K20 easily covers Mi9t and K20 Pro for Mi9t Pro and K30pro will work for PocoF2 also!
Xiaomi's success is actually making their devices XDA friendly!
if low screen brightness in sun and 90hz gimmick doesn't affect u much! i would advice go for k20 pro premium! (12/512 gb)
modded kernels has kcal / sound boost is helpful

What great Information.
I want more productivity from a phone then fancy features. Now Even notification lights are not included in phone, can't even imagine that. I am really looking forward to k20 pro premium (12gb/512gb). Phone are really not expensive to manufacturers but sold at very high prices. Budget is also Important in these times. If I go for Realme x2 pro or k20 pro premium I will be paying almost 3 times of my current RN4 4gb /64gb which still gives value of money.
I will be trying to get k20 premium 12gb/512 if available or will have to choose Realme x2 pro 12gb/256 gb.
Thanks a lot.

Well... there is a problem with xiaomi devices in India as Indian government started to block xiaomi's apps. You don't really need to modify kernel to get equalizer/sound booster like viper4android and there's even a thread about getting one with Realme X2 pro. I don't think that custom kernels are a big problem rn as 855+ gives great performance.

if you are a person who wants value for money! then frankly these two fones which have been discussing is most part having features we may not even fully use (if ever)
512gb storage you will NEVER fill up! in regular use!
90hz screen may not even make a difference and 90hz screen is not battery friendly so realmex2 pro don't use it on every app!
its the main processor that counts! Snapdragon 710/720/765 are weak processor and heats up because devices of this processor don't have liquid cooling ( realme x2pro and Redmi k20 pro premium has Liquid cooling)
other value for money FONES with GREAT support are
1. Poco f1 (but its lcd, so not every eye friendly)
2. Redmi NOTE 8 PRO ( its MediaTek gaming chip 40% cheaper, but LCD so you may not enjoy much, colors may feel dull, but test it in shop/ display models)
3. Mi note 9s (but its lcd)
4. Samsung M31 ! its also great fone! (but they use Enoyx processor which is slower) Rootable!

xiaomi apps getting blocked shouldn't be any problem with custom kernels
lots of kernel developers are from india only and these kernels are used on custom roms! and even custom roms are developed in india only!
i have used Havoc on PocoF1 which is developed by indian developer!
kcal gives GREAT control on controling screen values! infact most of the custom roms have included this feature under DIPLAY>LiveDisplay
sound booster by GOODAV is also good app to boost volume without unlocking bootlock!
90hz screen may not even make a difference

Really?...just test it yourself in Chrome while scrolling and then tell again there is no difference...
For me 90hz nowadays is an absolut must have feature!
How much battery will you loose? One hour maybe?
Same thing you would lose with LCD screen, if not more...

I didn't said that blocked xiaomi apps will cause problems with custom kernels or Indian kernels would not work... The author of this post wants to stay on stock ROM with root. That so I meant that it isn't a great choice if he wants to stay on stock ROM.
About 90hz... when you use a phone for some time with 90hz you can really notice the difference between 60hz and 90hz... After using my phone on 60hz for week and 90hz for another week I haven't noticed any difference with battery life. If someone really want to use 90hz on every app there is a thread about getting it.
Also I don't think that there's a need of volume boosting on Realme X2 pro when the phone is extremely loud stock.
256GB for normal user is enough and I don't see a need for more storage space.
Both phones are great but of course because xiaomi is bigger they have bigger community with more mods/roms/kernels.
Thanks everyone for taking time to reply.
About budget phones yes i have been using redmi note 4 SD for past 3 years but this time I really want more ram like 12gb/256 Realme x2 pro or k20 premium edition 12/512gb. I will mostly use stock rom I don't want to get into custom roms I am not a developer or much technical details knowledge.
But now I don't want to use my mobile with Ramexpander app for extra ram, Using 2 sim plus 128gb micro SD(This is enough but not good, need more memory) card with sim extension tool,I also use external 1tb hdd with mobile data backup with stickmount app.
Xiaomi still doesn't has Mi Pc suite for above KitKat which is extremely annoying. Unfortunately transferring data from mobile through mtp doesn't work in my mobile and lost lot of important data because of this earlier.
Does Realme has Pc suite?
For Realme x2 pro mobile 12gb/256gb I am looking for warranty after root.
I am still more inclined to buy Realme x2 pro 12/256 or k20 pro premium 12/512gb. I just want value for money and peace of mind that these phone will last next 3 years without any trouble.
Thanks everyone for replying.

Realme doesn't have PC suite, but why do you need it?

1. use myphoneexplorer , its virtually for every android device on earth freee, https://www.fjsoft.at/en/ , started for sony ericson but as sony moved to xperia the developer added support for android, i always use this never installed xperia companion or kies or misuite
2. no realme / oppo dont have pc suite, not that i found on web
3.since grass is greaner on the other side, and as user above said xiomi has bigger developent community, i am now more inclined towards k20 pro, but you will feel more inclined towards k20 pro once after you will buy realme x2 pro lol
4. i would not say x2pro headphone volume is loud! yes speaker is loud, i still use volume booster by Goodav to enjoy music

Question Is that worth it?

From your experience and only, pure miui, no custom roms, no unlocked bootloaders or anything
Miui is being rumored and seen as a bad os.
And 11t pro has nice specs but os draws me back
What is your experience? Pros? Cons?

A lot of problems with the OS , like someone so stupid did it .
Avoid it at all costs and go to samsung or realme?

For me , Realme , I have Realme 5 pro before my 11t pro
Believe me it was better experience for me .
Some of the things that I don't like :
...The speaker sound is not strong
....The sensor is behaving stupid , when ....playing WhatsApp record , or fb massenger record , and during the calls the screen go totally crazy
..... The picture in picture in Google maps is not stable
...... The hidden apps are appearing in the recently used apps , plus the way of reaching this apps is not very smart ....
The only one thing that really different for me , it the fast charger , full within 10 minutes , and the battery life is good .

Question "New" OnePlus 10 Pro Worth it

Hi,everyone been on iPhone on and off since the 3GS, I'm looking to upgrade my 11 Pro Max and thinking of getting the "New" OnePlus 10 Pro. I had the OnePlus 1 and the OnePlus 7T so I'm not new to OnePlus or OxagenIOs but the reviews have been mixed. I figured I would ask the community if it was worth the switch and if not the OnePlus 10 Pro https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/ any recommendations for a new phone, right now I'm also looking at the Pixel 6 Pro or thinking of waiting till the Pixel 7.

I would wait and see on the Pixel 7, I am sure it will be better than OP10 Pro.
Don't by this sh*t !!
Stupid, Disgusting, Buggy ColorOS (new OxygenOS) !!
No MSM Tool, No official ROM, No TWRP, No custom ROMs !!
First mistake and bootloop = Last one = No way to fix it !!
Also you must call it "OPPO 10 Pro"
"OnePlus" doesn't exists anymore !!
Just wait for pixel 7 ...
R.I.P. OnePlus and OxygenOS

To provide an alternative perspective for the OP, I disagree with Saeed that the phone is garbage. ColorOS is not buggy for me, and I personally like the features. So personal preference here, you might like it or maybe not.
I can agree that it is a bummer there is no MSM tool, but IMO the only time I have needed that tool was when I was into custom ROMs and get a bad build, or I did something stupid by not reading instructions. Never had an issue with just OOS rooting and flashing.
Also, I have just have no time for tinkering/experimenting with my phone anymore and I am happy with just OOS. So I have no interest in custom ROMs, I don't have time to constantly be fixing my phone from buggy or custom stuff. I need it to be stable, have root and I am happy.
Same with TWRP, I haven't used that in probably 4 years now. All I do is unlock bootloader, boot a patched Magisk boot, patch the phone boot, and I am done. I have zero need for TWRP.
To the point about full flashable ROMs, one would only need them if they're constantly ROM hopping, which of course does not affect me.
So if you're like me and don't need custom ROMs or recovery, the phone will be great. I am very happy with it. If you're like Saeed, then you'll be posting multiple exclamation points after every sentence. All about perspective/preferences.
Sidenote, I personally was very disappointed when I tried the Pixel 6. Software had none of the features that OOS has, like screen off gestures (music control, flashlight ect), hide icons on status bar, ect. Just a bunch of small things that I didn't know I'd miss. Also, the charging speed was crazy slow compared to OnePlus, and finally the modem had the worse cell reception I have ever experienced in a smartphone. YMMV
I ditched mine, but it's a nice device with stock setup....

I would wait and see on the Pixel 7, I am sure it will be better than OP10 Pro.

Tensor 2 is rumored to still use weak A55 cores. If you want a flagship, the 7 is going to be quite far from being one. That's without even taking the garbage Samsung modem into account.

Yes, the Pixel 6 modem was really bad. I returned it. If Pixel 7 has the same/similar, then Google done messed up

I have no idea why Google persist to develop tensor cpu !!
Google: Just use the latest and greatest of Qualcomm snapdragon ...

Only reason I got the OnePlus 9 and not the Pixel 6 was Tensor and the Samsung modem...
I wouldn't even take a free one. Boycott them
Pixel 7 will be the right choice, or maybe even Samsung. Oneplus has offically been added to my NEVER buy list. Tensor may be meh, but at least google releases factory images right away. I repeat NEVER BUY THIS GARBAGE PHONE

+1 Yeah!
With pixel we have full factory images FOR EVERY UPDATE
Bare in mind that the information gathered about the the pixel 7 is pre release and wont be a fair rep of the chip.
It's meant to be the same but improved chip so battery life will be improved.
Also GPU improvements which should make gaming a little better, top games and emulators could already run on the 6 and 6 pro respectively, so the 7 could hit a sweet spot with current software available, the one thing that was bad with the 6 was the battery and increasing heat when gaming.
Overall I think it's too early to tell, with Chinese devices being ever more spyware ridden and locked down I personally wouldn't be 100% happy getting any of them, certainly not any of the big ones like OnePlus / oppo / Xiaomi.
The pixel 7 I think will be the device that people will be flock to, developers and users alike.
I don't think it'll be perfect, nor was I overehelmed by the news of the SOC, but if I had to choose between that and the turds floating out of the south china sea then I'd go with the 7..
That's my thinking at this point.
Certainly send like the battleground of mobile devices is starting to look more political, I doubt that'll go away any time soon.
It's all a matter of personal preference.
I sent mine back today. Tried to like it, but it was frustrating the life out of me. Stuck my sim back in my S21 ultra and the difference between the two is like night and day.
I think my time with OnePlus is done after all the years being with them.
If Samsung had an alert slider then that would be just perfect for me.

If Samsung made a vanilla device with pure android they'd completely clean up..
Plus they need to drop that exynos crap and chill on the bootloader locking stuff.
Give people a choice.
Also I don't think you're alone in not getting another OnePlus.
They're dead
I really like the OnePlus 10 Pro 12/512GB, even the Oppofied software. My only issue with them is the nonsense with not being able to have custom rom.
I have the 12/256 variant and love it.
It's far more enjoyable than my pixel 6 pro was as well as my rog phone 5.
The last time I enjoyed a phone this much was the galaxy s10+ or my oneplus 7 pro

The ROG has been on my shortlist as I do game on my devices, I'm considering one of them in the future.. a sort of get it as it is type of device rather than what it can be.
How does the ROG 5 compare to the 10 pro in regards to heavy apps/games

Oddly enough the oneplus can run pubg mobile on HDR and extreme fps and the rog can't. Overall I'd say it's the same for gaming. I'm running pubg mobile and genshin on the same settings on my 10 pro as I was on my rog.
The camera on the rog is absolutely **** as is the durability. It's not even water resistantet let alone waterproof. The game genie software is top notch though as are the air triggers and I'd say that it has bar none the best speakers in a phone.
