no idea, but i believe all phones using OLED screens will have the chance of developing green lines when the panel gets damaged. I've seen it happen on xiaomi phones, sony phones, samsung phones, vivo phones, iphones, etc. It's mostly happening on older phones too, so we won't know for sure until much later. my guess is that it could heat related wear and tear since a lot of ppl have reported seeing the green line after a software update. my sister has a xiaomi phone (11T Pro) that developed a green line after an update and her comment was that the phone felt really hot at that time. the updating process will usually heat up the phone a lot and sometimes that update process happens while the phone is plugged in and charging. most ppl have their phones in a case too and what not. and things like placing the phone on their bed (which traps a ton of heat) doesn't help too. basically, i believe most phones will have the chance of developing green line since it's just a symptom of damaged OLED screen. If you're really concerned about it, just try your best to avoid dropping the phone, or making the phone run too hot too often.

thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately i don't have the phone with me anymore and have moved on to try other devices 😂

i have no idea about that since i'm not using global ROM. but it is working on the CN ROM colorOS. have used Google Pay on it without any issue.

I haven't kept up to date. But from the XDA thread I saw about the issues regarding flashing global ROM on the Ace3, I wouldn't recommend it though. I haven't tried it myself since I'm fine with using the CN version of colorOS. But if you're planning on getting it during 618 from China directly, the main issue is probably region lock though. Gotta make sure the seller can unlock it for you.

@@axhng I have received the phone. It looks like the seller has unlocked the region restrictions and flashed PJE110's ColorOS 14. Since I rarely use the phone and don't use most of the unrealistic features, it seems to be OK. The only problem now is that I can't upgrade from 14 to 14.1 because I heard that doing so will cause signal loss. Maybe I can wait for the custom ROM ColorOS update instead of the official ROM update.

🤣yeah, i don't care much for those features too and will normally disable android auto if I can. being able to uninstall almost all the extra stuff, is a nice bonus for me. the global version of HyperOS on the other hand has more things that can't be uninstalled or disabled.

it's still on ColorOS 13 for yours? i thought they rolled our ColorOS 14 for Ace 2 Pro late last year. But if your phone can't get the OTA for some reason even though the bootloader is untouched and not rooted, maybe you could try to use the "local upgrade" option and downloading the ROM from online. No idea where to get official ROM though, perhaps XDA or gotta rely on Chinese sites.

like most other chinese phones, no android auto, nearbyshare won't work, google location history won't work too. then some smaller stuff will be the need to uninstall and turn off more things, which makes for a longer setup process. but it has other advantages too. like CN rom usually have more features, lets you uninstall more things from the phone, it has way more control over app permissions, gets updated faster, and if you use apps like bilibili, no need to sideload and you can just install from their App Market and update from there too. in the Ace3's case, i recommend doing more research about the conversion to OxygenOS because last I read on XDA, the process isn't perfect and might be quite troublesome. if you really want oxygenOS, might want to consider OP12 too which might not be that much more expensive these days and I think can be converted to oxygenOS more easily. at least here in singapore, on 6/6 sales on lazada, the prices were really low.

@@axhng ouhhh

@@axhng if stick with china rom...will be any trouble soon?

@@axhng i likely just use color OS instead of oxygen...idk why so many people convert their phone into oxygen...at some case...that u said not perfectly done...their connection due internet cant be done anymote after the flash

@@mohamadtahir5178 I've been using CN ColorOS and it's been fine with even local government and banking apps in Singapore. though not sure about MY side though. I think a lot of ppl just prefer using something with full google services? it is easier in a sense since no need to install playstore and all the google stuff like nearby share, location history will work. the main thing to look out for is just to make sure from the seller that the phone is region unlocked. Most importers will probably know about this since they've been doing this nonsense region lock thing since Ace 2.

hmm. the most obvious things I can see would be the google stuff. like it won't have Android auto, nearbyshare, google location history. network wise, you'll probably have to check the support bands anyway to make since even global phones might have varying bands that they support or don't, especially if you're using 5G plan. 4G should be pretty safe though. system language wise, not sure if it's missing any, but it does have english at least which I can switch to during first boot.

@@axhng ty,does it have italian language

@@Emanuuz sorry, but i don't recall unfortunately, and i no longer have the phone around with me to check.

yeah, the camera performance is really quite surprising from a supposing "gaming focused" brand. and it's shame that some of the bloatware can't be disabled or installed too. Ironically, their CN only OriginOS actually allows for most of the pre-installed app to be removed, even a lot of their own apps. This is the same for CN HyperOS and ColorOS too, both allow the removal of a lot more built-in apps than their global version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but well, it's not a huge deal breaker in the end. i can still go into those bloatware's app info page to turn off permissions and whatnot, then chuck them into a folder and ignore them completely. 🤣

😅skipping. at this point i'm just saving up for Natlan!

How did you import from my?

@@chookwangzhee1889 through a friend who has a MY address and can help to buy 😅 if don't have, then I not sure already.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately I probably wouldn't be reviewing those devices since they don't really interest me as much. from what I see from reviews in CN, they are not the best when it comes to gaming performance, which is something that I look for in a phone these days. 😅

It kinda depends on where you live. In general, just get from a reputable importer or online shopping platforms so that at least you have some recourse if the phone has issues out of the box. Some better seller might even offer their own warranty, but just have to keep in mind to not count on that too much since it will be completely up to their discretion. For me in Singapore, shopping platforms like shopee and Lazada is usually the first place I'll look at since if there's anything wrong with the phone, those platform can help make the return/refund process a bit easier than dealing with direct sellers. Taobao too would be another option. Just have to compare prices and find the best deal.

@@axhng Thank You so much for your prompt reply. I love all the videos you've made here.

@@user-li9se6bd2l thanks!!!

it does. www.aptx.com/products/xiaomi-redmi-k70-pro

no support for android auto on all phones with CN firmware as far as i know.

Thanks! :)

😅unless you have a specific reason, the 15 Pro is probably a better bet, or maybe even the next SE that is rumoured to be coming next year with a more modern design.

I wouldn’t worry about being stared at . Just use whatever phone is right for you

hi there, the phone at around 2:20 is the Redmi K70 Pro. It's just part of hyperOS i guess. i don't see a way to change the way the folder looks on ColorOS or OxygenOS too. that blur/frosted/translucent effect that look nicer to me as well. 😅

@@axhng Omg, thanks, Its true 😫

indeed. it's kinda like the oneplus ace 3 too which has this feature but seemingly no IP rating. but most phones these are probably have some measures against water ingress, like having a rubber gasket around the usb-c port, mics, etc. might not but as good as full IP68, but should be fine against wet hands or a small drizzle. my guess is that that's what this feature is for rather than full on using the phone underwater or whatnot. For most more budget oriented devices, my guess is that it's just not worth paying the money to get it certified. 😅

Thanks! unfortunately i have no idea how the market is like in India since aliexpress got banned? perhaps you can check with reviewers from India who regularly reviews these CN phones? or perhaps can search on facebook since there might be independent importers? good luck!

the BTR3K is probably still a better bet since it has better support, and seems to be more durable. but it is a pretty old device at this point and FIIO has mentioned at the start of the year that they will have a new model out this year, the BTR11, and the timeline they gave was around June. so at this point, i think better to just wait for that newer model. 😅 forum.fiio.com/note/showNoteContent.do?id=202401201120349466517&tid=4

hi there! personally, I think it's a pretty noticeable upgrade over the iris ancestor, kbear stellar, and the bunch of other cheaper buds I've tried. for me i like it slightly over the LBBS as well since it's a little warmer sounding, and the dongle dac that I'm using is on more neutral side of thing. otherwise technicalities wise, i think they're quite similar, so being cheaper as well, it's better value to me if the size of the earbuds aren't a concern (LBBS is a bit smaller). I don't the pro version of the EB2S, though I've seen comments that it's supposed to be slightly better than the original. it seems like according to graphs it's a little warmer still? so your mileage may vary on which one you might prefer. imgur.com/neAjFGk the eb2s pro got pretty positive review from DMS too. ua-cam.com/video/3sm1zFqnMeU/v-deo.html

Thanks! unfortunately i've not tried the iris 2.0, so can't say.

the Find N3 seems well received, so i think there's a good chance for a Find N4.

i've not tried the iQOO 12 CN ROM, only have a short experience with the Neo9 Pro. In the time I had with it, it seems quite nice to use for the most part. Nice UI and animations, useful features built in, i like their gestures for floating window mode for example. Their desktop app for MacOS integration works rather well too and i can even mirror and control the phone on my Mac desktop. Also like HyperOS, it does have basic google services built in too so account sync (contacts, calendar, etc) works fine, and Play Store can be installed easily from the built-in app store too. Same caveats applies though with no Android Auto, no Google Location History, and notifications will have delay unless you change some app settings and lock the app to prevent them from being frozen. Another unfortunate thing is that their gaming upscaling and frame interpolation features doesn't work for global version of games like Genshin. only works for the chinese game client, which is a bit disappointing.

@@axhng really helpful, thanks alot. I want to get an SD gen 3 phone, and so far, iqoo 12 is in my top list. Realme gt 5 pro was my top but I don't like curved screen. But realme ui Chinese rom is really usable. Unlike redmi Chinese rom, it can be very restrictive from my past experience. Wanted to know if fun touch is usable like realme when you get the Chinese rom variant.

@@genesisyt9662 no problem. though for iQOO 12, since it's available in more countries outside of china, if you can get the global version, might be better to just go for that. I don't like their global FunTouchOS as much, but it should have less issues when using outside of China. 😅 and if you're not in a hurry, there are rumours that vivo X100s might have a flat screen too, and there might be a X100 Pro+ or Ultra, and iQOO 12s too perhaps looking at their previous release cycles.

@@axhng okay, thanks, lemme wait a little and see.. curved screens should be banned. The aesthetic is no more interesting.

There is a good chance that this model wouldnt be available outside of China at all since the K60 Pro was the same. For now can only see what Xiaomi plans to do with the Poco F6 series.

hi there. i'm using the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller. :)

I don't play any games that uses google account to log in, but my guess is that it shouldn't be an issue since even the China version of HyperOS has basic google services as mentioned. i can sign in to my google account to sync contacts, calendar too. i'm using apps like gmail, google keep, books, youtube, drive, docs, maps on the phone and they can use the same google account sign in just like any regular android phone. play store can be installed from the built in app store like shown in the video, and after that can install apps from the play store as usual.

@@axhng Thank you so much!

i think i saw the Ultra refresh rate option when i was testing it back then, but i recall that when i use the built-in FPS monitoring option, it's only 60FPS. not sure how it is now though since i don't play the game.😅

@@axhng please chack it again I want to bye it for gaming
