Hey guys, dont be shy for those that have a P30 Pro did you come from a Mate 20 Pro? Feedback? Happy with the move?.
$200 Canadian difference for me, taking the savings and Mate 20 Pro or spend more for better? Is it really better outside the camera? Last two phones I had LG G7 and PH1 had Quad HD I liked that. Battery life imp, between the two its close so lets hear feedback.
Planning to buy Asus Zenfone 6 when it releases in USA and I am aware it is FHD, I expect P30 Pro will be better with OLED FHD thus I am not yet making a Quad HD screen a definite requirement for this round of phones.
Cheers
I have used both and i prefer p30 pro,for the camera new sensor with OIS and 1.6,the battery very impressive and small notch,as for the display i am very satisfied for a fullhd screen.
Hi everyone,
I want to buy a smartphone - but stuck between Op 7 or K20 pro ? Can't make my mind - which one should I buy ?
Any suggestion/ advice will be highly appreciated.
They are pretty similar. Run on the same platform, CPU, GPU. Both AMOLED, same resolution.
The K20pro / 9Tpro has an audio jack, OP7 does not.
OP7 has stereo speakers, K20p/9Tp does not.
The K20pro / 9Tpro has FM radio, OP7 does not.
I believe the OP7 has OIS on the main camera, K20pro/9Tpro does not.
The OP7 has a (small) notch in the screen. The K20pro/9Tpro has a popup front facing camera.
K20pro/9Tpro has a somewhat bigger battery.
For me personally, the popup cam is not a problem because I don't use face-unlock or take selfies, and having a full notch-less display is very nice.
I imagine that if you're the kind of person that uses the front facing camera a lot, the popup camera becomes annoying pretty fast. (but I don't know because I'm not that person)
FM radio is a feature I really like to have, but I'm probably alone in that one.

Thanks mate for your detailed comparison .
I don't use face-unlock and selfies like you. So it 'll not be any issue for me. Though I don't like Pop-Up camera. But I really like stereo speakers.
BTW, how's the battery life of K20 pro ?
OP7 has almost no development - unlike the K 20 Pro.
But I really don't like the bootloader unlocking procedure of Xiaomi. It's really annoying (really)to me.
Would you throw some lights on the multi-media experiences of K20 Pro - 3.5 mm audio quality, watching video/movie experience etc.? Really it's very important to me.
Which one would be better for multi-media between these two ?
Thank you once again for your reply.
K20 Pro has a HiFi DAC built-in. It's 24 bits / 192 KHz.
So it has the ability to play High Definition audio.
You don't really need to unlock the bootloader unless you really need root for something or actually want to change ROMs.
I used the Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tool to disable apps that I don't use. MIUI isn't that bad, for now at least.
I was confused about that last few days, finally bought k20 pro, for 3.5 mm audio jack and price difference. audio, movies and camera are great.

I am probably not the best judge. I don't have an OP7, have only used this device (European 9Tpro) for under 2 weeks now and my previous phone was almost 5 years old. To me, watching video on the notch-less OLED and listening through simple wired earphones is very good.
Battery life is good. In normal day to day use when I'm not traveling, I can charge it every 2 days. In heavy use it will still last a full day easy. I have everything on all the time (wifi, sync, location, bluetooth, ambient display).
I plan to keep mine stock and locked for at least the first month, but yes from what I read on these forums, unlocking and flashing is more cumbersome and has more pitfalls than I'm used to from HTC devices.
My previous phone was OP7.
k20pro 256gb + 27watt charger costs less than Op7. So price wise this is a win.
Face unlock is a breeze in Op7. Miss that comfort on k20 pro. Though always on fingerprint is good & serves the purpose.
4000 mah battery & miui battery management works wonders. Always end up with 30+ at the end of the day. On Op7, it would be about less than 20% by the end of the day.
Oxygen os is really clean. But it lacks serious customisation. Miui is eyecandy & won't get boring. This is probably the only factor for me to switch from op7.
Also, since op7 was just a minor upgrade from 6T, better to wait for Op7t (with 90hz).
But beware of your purchase now, the price of K20PRO will see drop Faster than op7 in very short period of time. (Already price cut of Rs 2000 announced in India (flipkart))
U should also check the asus rog 2 if u are not bothered by large bezels

Really appreciate .
Totally agree with you - OP7 is a minor upgrade from 6T. And Miui is eyecandy and has more customisations.
BTW, the same question I want to ask you - Are satisfied by switching from OP7 to Redmi K20 Pro ?

Thanks for sharing the most important feature - audio quality of K20 Pro.
What's your feedback about the headphone audio quality of K20 Pro?
Is it really awesome or average ?
I like to use rooted device. And that's why I don't like Xiaomi for their bootloader unlocking policy.
Appreciate your ADB/Fastboot procedure for deblauting.
BTW, I had some bad experiences with RN7 Pro - MTP incompatibility. My Windows PC can't recognized RN7 Pro and can't install the drivers. And finally I'd to sale RN7 Pro due to this issue. Is there any MTP/ Driver issue with K20 Pro ?
:good:
if op7 has no notch i would have gotten it to try this oxygen os ,coming from pocophone which is mine spare phone now ,glad i dont to face with a notch all day , to me op7 just look like a 6t , by the way i have no issue connecting mine pc (win 7) to k20 pro
Yes, i really am enjoying the k20 pro. Yesterday, the android 10 OTA was received. So that also is covered.
And miui 11 is on the way by end of the year.
Btw, if u are looking for Op7T for the 90hz display, K20PRO can also reach around 80hz thru mods. Both are 1080 oled panels.
On a related note, asus rog 2 has got some Insane specs for a sweet price (128/8 ) Rs 38k.
K20pro is going to be sold for less then 24999 during the sale season... That's a huge price drop for such a new device and it's cheating for those who bought this device from the start.....

Nope Max drop will be ₹3500 if you are taking into account the initial ₹2000 into account. Even in current sale a minimum card discount is going to be there for atleast ₹1500. As a loyalist I feel that companies should atleast hold onto their prices for 6 months man. If you ever want to resell your device within this timefram now you will face a huge challenge trying to resell. Not that I would be doing that. Its about percieved difference of going from Base bottom Budget Brand to a Premium Brand... They went back to being a budget only Brand with this move. Thats really Bad. I would gladly buy their Premium range of Phones of the Mi Series(I owned a MI3 and Mi5) But they don't release them here in India anymore..
If a Brand wants to induce a loyalty in its customer base they should be prepared to be loyal in return. This doesnt feel like loyalty..

probably mi 9 pro is out , they wants to clear stocks , anyway their mi series doesnt hold the price well
I have thinking about buying this phone and the price is being dropped to 23k.
So according to all of the users that have been using this device is it still viable option or i should skip this now.
I Like flashing roms and modding so this phone ticks that box aswell.
So wondering if someone could share their experiences so that i can decide if to buy it or not.
23k what ? I haven't seen this phone on sale (as new) for months. I even saw one used on amazon at more than 400 € while I paid mine less than 300 mid octobre last year. I recently bought a Mi Note 10 Pro but I prefer my 9T Pro (it's faster, and has no cut in the screen). I've flashed several ROMs (Syberia, cdDroid) but had problems with Camera apps. Now, I have both phones using the latest xiomi.eu beta (and there's nothing else for the Mi Note 10).

ON upcoming sale from 6th august k20 pro will be for 23k 6-128 variant and thats why i am planning to get this but have doubts about heating and battery backup..
Is "k" a currency ? I wouldn't never buy a phone at 23000 €, even not a car. Maybe I have to guess your country and where you expect to buy a phone which seems to have disappeared months ago. The phone is cold and battery lasts long (especially when not used).

23K will be Indian INR - Also FlipKart is an Indian online retailer, so there's a hint there.
Just had a look and that's coming in at around $305 US.
Probably not much difference in price to what you could get it for, last year, on AliExpress.
On one side, it's not much of a sale discount, considering it's over a year old.
But on the other side, there's been a bit of a price hike all across the board this year, so it's a better phone than all the mid range SD7xx phones that are available now, for around the same price.
If you can stretch to a bit more money, the Poco F2 Pro should be a better option. But if 23K is about your limit, This phone, will probably be the best available for that price.
Battery life and performance are very good, with not a great deal of heat under heavy load.
Its still great phone for 23-24k Rs price range SD 855 , 6GB Ram , 128GB storage .. no notch display with hdr and good cameras (can be made better via gcam mods) and great redmi has release kernel sources so you have custom os and rom development .

Poco F2 Pro isn't available in India and in current pandemic situation with India China dispute Buying anything from AliExpress doesn't make sense.
my budget is 25000 max and at 25k i also have Realme X3 which might have better camera(Though I don't care for camera's) and a 120hz ips panel with 855+ chipset but the development situation for Realme devices is bad so i won't choose that one and also it doesn't has a 3.5mm jack.

K means Kilo = 1000 everywhere (not just in India and not only 1000 Rupias):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilo-
Still, it can be Kilo grams, Kilo meters, Kilo bytes, Kilo Rupias, Kilo Euros, etc.
Hence the price "23K" without a currency is meaningless - in India it would mean 23000 Rupias, in Europe 23000 Euros, in US 23000 Dollars
Since this is international forum, nobody should guess that the poster was from India and that 23K meant for him 23000 Rupias (not Canadian Dollars or 23000 in any other currency)

i will mention the prices in full currency next time on..
But i have seen some review stating that the device gets heated up very fast and the metal frame and screen becomes too hot to touch or use..
Also Miui 12 Indian stable update has ruined the phone as much as i have seen the reviews.
So was skeptical if this phone will at least last me 1-1.5 year without any issue from now on if i buy it.

as far as i know there are no heating issues with this device
since i have K20 (not K20 pro) i haven't seen any issues in that device
and talking about MIUI 12, even i didn't liked that they made it exactly like iPhone. Only thing i didn't like about MIUI 12 is notification center else everything is fine
and custom roms are always there
and if you have ICICI or City bank card then you will get the phone for around 20,700 and for that price i think that steal deal
its almost at same price segment as poco f1 was
BTW even i am planing to but this at 6th aug

Ok thanks for your response now i am sure to buy this one on sale.
23k INR will be a good value for this phone. I bought it for 32k BDT (around 350 USD) and price has been same now after dropping somewhere to 30k. Worth mentioning it's not manufactured anymore so will be unavailable any time.
For the comparison with Realme X3, amoled is superior over lcd on phones anytime, regardless of refreshrate.

Hey, I recently bought the K20 Pro ( almost 2 weeks ago) and I am more than delighted with it...
I did pre-order the Oneplus Nord but I that the phone was overhyped and not worth it.... The other competition is Realme X3 but that phone doesn't have much ROM support... So no..
I just love this phone.... The built quality is more that Awesome.. and the pop up camera is more sturdy than I expected.. I got it for ₹2 25k.. And for that price it's the best in class according to me..
It does get warn...( As all phones do ) but I don't think that's a problem..
I did compare it with POCO X2 of my friend and I found its camera wayy better.... This phone's main camera is kinda average.... But I feel it's just the best deal you can get...
Also don't even think that this phone is an year old and all that stuff.... It's still the best. I personally believe that one year old flagship killer with good support are the best....
Previously I had Lenovo Z2 Plus with SD820...( for ₹1 13000 for a new one) and that was my life..
I hope that after reading this you too will become a member of our community....
The only ? thing is MIUI... And I am sure you will change that.... ..

Same here, just bought a few days ago for 24000 INR. It is the best bang for the buck. The only other competitors are Realme X3 which has LCD screen and no dev support, and the Nord which looks uglier imo and is a plastic build, with slower processor. The only upside for it is the 90Hz screen, but the K20 pro does go upto 72 Hz, so its not that of a big deal. Only downside is the camera, my old Mi A2 felt better (GCam in both). Especially, the selfie camera is very bad in a few indoor conditions. But even the Nord has the same main camera sensor, so there's that.
I think you should go for it.

I really like the miui with all the bells and whistles it brings like floating window (helps a lot for my gaming), icon animations, hassle-free theme support etc.
Rom is personal taste and choice, ofc.

I'd really love to if the camera wasn't a step down.
As of now I can't do it.
Even I have an S21 (so the camera is not much of a step down) the Fold 3 comes with other disadvantages that make it unappealing: more bulky, less resistant screen, less overall mechanical durability (mostly because of the hinge), price, most apps are not taking advantage of the big screen.
A Note will likely be released in 2022... they have a much better track record.
Flip 3 is much nicer than that brick.
I was so eagerly awaiting the fold 3 that I sold my S21 Ultra before the zfold3 release. I was stuck using my iPhone 12 PM for over a month. Now when I found out the price was $2608 CAD after taxes so I ended up re-buying an open box s21 ultra for $950, a 256GB Zflip3 for $1528 and a Galaxy watch 4 classic for $344 with the $200 rebate. I'll recoup the $208 difference when I sell my almost new Galaxy watch 3.
At that price I simply can't justify the zfold3 with its 2019 camera system. At least with the flip I can play with it for a while and gift it to my wife later.
The S21 ultra is simply the best phone out there for the moment. I'll probably buy the Pixel 6 pro too and the iPhone 13
But the Zfold3 gets a pass this year. Maybe next year...
Trading in an s21u for a fold 3 is a pretty foolish decision. See Mr. WHosetheboss's review on it on youtube.
The phone is cool but not that cool.
The Fold 3 doesn't seem to be a good value at $1800.00 (256GB), $1,900.00 (512GB) USD plus tax for the features on or not on the device. 4400 mAh Battery for a very large and brighter display, 25W Charging, So-So Cameras, Snapdragon 888 SoC is the same as the S21. Then consider you'll always have a crease down the center of the display. Samsung is offering generous trade-in promotions but those didn't work on the
S21 in worldwide sales. Difficult to imagine Samsung's stated goal to increase sales 3 times more than the Fold 2 is realistic. Bottom line, not enough phone for the $$$.
Soo, anyone here who has the phone?
If so, do you have the Chinese or Global version and how are you finding it?
Seriously considering getting this phone.
Seems nobody? Well I just ordered one for myself, Chinese phone but apparently the seller can have it flashed to the Global ROM - so will take a while to arrive in South Africa but will report back once I receive it.
I figured it was not worth spending the extra money on the Pro version as the differences are the cameras and SoC. I'd rather have the non fisheye wide angle and the normal macros and not the microscope camera and I feel the SD888 will be more than sufficient for me. Do not play games on my phone much.
I purchase it today from amazon spain... it is little to big for me but i will give him a chance... definitly best buy flagship. I am buying him because it is the cheapes phone with imx 766 and snapdragon 888. But now i have second thoughts beacuse of realme gt neo 3. It has same imx766 sensor and dimesity 8100 which is really fast with night mode processing. what you guys think about it gt2 or gt neo 3.
I have cancelled the order... dimensity 8100 and 9000 is really step up from sd 888.

I think that's all marketing bollocks, in practice I doubt the difference will be that big considering the gt 2 pro is the flagship and the neo 3 can't or should not be better than it and should be less good than the gt2. Gcam also helps a lot in night photos.
Anyway, unless you're going to import it from China the neo 3 is only coming to Europe in the summer.
I might do import it from china and dimensity 8100 can is better in everything, faster cores, low energy consumption, 5Gigapixel/s (888 2.7Gpixel/s)... I really want top notch for money. Only one thing is that it is going to be difficult to unlock bootloader but with gt2 global is problem too for now. Gcam is only problem with dimensity 8100.
I don't know what to do...mybe wait for oneplus nord 3 coz better support.

I'm like you, I wanted the best of the best for the price, compared phones back to back, was willing to give 700€ for a fu*** phone, me that never paid more than 350€ for a phone and that was alot back then. haha
In the end I bought the GT2, yeah the pro has a better cpu, better screen bla bla bla and I even thought about returning it when I saw the Neo 3 was releasing like a week after I received it.
But to be honest, I'm very happy with it and honestly I don't need a better phone.
The neo 3 has a better cpu, ok, but will you notice it? To give 30min or 1h more of sot for the lower consumption?
Since you don't have the GT 2 and are willing to wait until summer then go ahead. Otherwise buy it back and you'll be happy anyway.
Oh and Nord 3 is going to be a rebranded Neo 3.
I would be really satisfied with gt2 indeed but this dimensity looking promising with photos and camera is my top priority. GT2 has really good camera and processor and i didn't think twice for buyin it but amazon didn't process my order for 15days and i cancelled order when i saw neo 3 and dimensity 8100. maybe i will buy nord 3 whichi saw it has identical spec maybe little smaller plus better support or even poco f4 with dimensity 9000 if price would be in that rang. so no new phone for another 3 months btw i'm buying new phone for like 1.5 year and i didnt even blink when i saw it on amazon for 450€ in eu. Truly flagship killer.

I really really doubt there will be a noticeable difference in photos, even between the GT 2 and the pro there's small difference and sometimes the GT 2 is better .
i am aware of it and the biggest but for gt neo 3 is gcam.
I've had the GT2 pro (China Rom) for a few months now. Phone runs great besides the Chinese features I can't remove and not having Google assistant and gpay.
I'm just waiting for a way to flash the global ROM.
i have bought the phone eventualy from amazon... it is really nice phone and with sofware updates it is going to be bestbuy for sure. Gt2 pro forum is much more organized then GT2 but i think global gt2 is best buy for sure and sale going to explode...in this price range there is only gt2 with this specs. Thank you Realme.

cameras on the GT 2 are better than that of Neo 3 as per multiple comparisons.
I have the global version for one month now. Really happy with it. Photos are not the best but décents and gcam can be installed. Battery life is great 5 to 6 hours sot with nearly 240 apps and 2 SIM cards. Really happy with it.
I have the Global version and it is good in all aspects. I don't have any issues and have been using this phone for a month now!
Hi,
I'm thinking of buying GT2. I drive a lot and I would like to ask some questions to the owners of the phone:
- is android auto working? do you have any issues?
- is google assistant working without problems?
- does Realme GT2 have Google Dialer as a default dialer?
I would be grateful for this information.
Google dialer is default.
This phone sucks in mic audio quality and in bad compatibility with most Bluetooth devices out there.
I am selling it after 15 days of purchase.
Mic in calls are awsome especially when talking on speakerphone and didn't notice problem with Bluetooth connectivity and i have a lotn9f gadgets like smart watch, headphones and speakers. In videos mic is fine too.

You are lucky.... Your device is ok then. Mine has problem. They asked me from Realme to send my device to their service so they can check. I don't care .... I will sell it and buy another brand.
