I can't believe Sony release a phone with this...
I never seen phone like that.
And i watched lots of Xperia M2 review video, and i didn't find any issue like mine.
Anyway, other guys have you got this light in your m2?

It's not a software issue, but I'm confused Some people have this and some not.
Should i bring to Service?

Nope... Not all of M2s have this... Mine doesn't and like SMikeS said, on the reviews you find on Youtube, a lot of them don't have it....
A few of them came with this screen problem, where the internal light goes over the edge of the screen and reflects on the glass...
You can try to change the device, but as far as I know, it doesn't affect in any way the usability... And I'm not sure they will change it since it's not an actual problem, it just looks weird...

Mine has it on the lower side in portrait screen, but only visible from a certain angle. It seems a sort of centering of the the display issue.
Please keep in mind that this is a low end device, and I mean this without any sarcasm.

Don's say this. Older and cheaper devices (Like Miro-Tipo) doesn't have this

have you tried bend test on the phone ^^ the glue might have come loose a bit but as long is not causing a problem dont mind it

woahhhhh ... another bendgate!

Not really noticed that on my own but then I also have the brightness turned more or less right down.

Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL) simple unboxing and testing

Original post from my blog: https://www.ewjy.pw/asus-zf3-unboxing-en/
Actually, some of the photos were retaken afterwards.
I bought a Asus Zenfone 3 as the new main phone several days before, the model number is ZE520KL. I was very nervous because that was the first unboxing I had ever did. The original video was cancelled due to technical problems and I used pictures instead. Alright, here are the appearances:

Time counting for the first booting:
25 seconds and 7 microseconds in total
The pictures were too many so you may visit here to view all the pictures for setting up this phone.
ZenUI home screen
Comparison of the old and new main phones (I was forced to change due to upturned screen and broken ear proximity sensor, etc.)
Performance of displaying picture
For music player, it is Google Play Music by default.
Playing tests for low and high resolution videos
480p
1080p
Photo taking tests
Without HDR
With HDR and exposure value set to -2
Lock screen
A final screenshot, did you find something weird? I am not sure whether it is a bug or it is true.
The responding speed of fingerprint module is quite fast, about 1(+/-1)s. In my opinion, it is quite cost-effective.
This is the first unboxing and testing of mine, there are many mistakes, I apologize for that.

How long is the USB cable?

Erm the ASUS websites worked well here for both Taiwan site and the global one. The camera is quite good for me as I'm not a professional photographer, you may view the photos I've taken in my original post for references.

Oops I might be misunderstood. After double checking, I found that ZE552KL has two versions with 3/4GB RAM+32/64GB ROM. The main difference between 520KL and 552KL is the screen size (5.2" for 520 and 5.5" for 552). Sorry for misleading you.

The battery is small, too in ZE552KL. It's good to know that 5.5 variant has 3GB variant, I was dying to get that confirmation. Let's hope asus launch that one too on 17th in India.

Yes, this phone supports dual SIM and dual active, but the SIM2 and the microSD card share the same slot, so you have to choose between SIM2 or microSD (i.e. you cannot insert SIM2 if you inserted microSD card).

Sorry, I may confused. After checking Asus Taiwan Store again, there is NO 3GB variant for ZE552KL. I am not sure if there is 3GB variant in other countries. Sorry for providing unclear information.

It looks gorgeous, but the fp placement ruined it

I prefer the front fp placement because of unlocking from the table right away without lifting the phone. The Huawei phone with rear fp, will have on screen navigation keys (= less screen estate) as Huawei barely uses Capacitive ones. And i think this shape takes least space compared to the round iphone or on the meizu phone. So ease of use and maximum usage of front bottom bezel.

The best fp placement is on the side (in the power button)

It will be the same, just read the article over at XDA

So you are saying the 6X is the international variation of the Magic, do you have a link to that information, if so it's best to hold off and get the X6, the Magic has so much crap in it.

Make sure you get an unlocked version and see if setting up english language works for you as changing the system language is easy but apps still shows chinese. And also, you may need to work and put some effort in getting google work. ( no google framework or playstore).
Do check properly and get some hands on rather ordering online or checking a dummy handset.

Yep. I know about phones in china, no phones are locked in china, unless sold from dedicated carriers, but some carriers request a dedicated sim slot for there sim, but from the information in huawei's site, both slots is opened to all network, but one will be locked to 2G, if the other is using 3G or 4G.
and yes, play store is not available in china, it needs to be modded into the phone, some will work, whiles some don't, I'll just have to try, otherwise I will just have to side upload apk.
Thanks

Ok so here are a few:

2) does portrait mode look any good? - I hated it on the note 8 as images were so soft and it didn't have HDR.

Yep I was on same boat I only changed because I dont like keeping my phones more than a year. The raw power is there, phone is very smooth and responsive no red tint as in s8. Netflix HDR is enabled as well. Only problem is the web rendering benchmarks etc in running a gfx benchmark.i think a software update can fix this anyway

GPU Turbo updates starts rolling out in Europe

Honor France just gave news about GPU Turbo update: Rollout just started in Europe (L29-C432 varient)
https://twitter.com/Honor_FR/status/1025380935334805505

this have any effect outside of gaming?
becuz i dont play gamez on my phone.

Don't apps need to be specifically coded to take advantage of GPU Turbo? Or does it just automatically apply to everything out of the box?

I tried using the original Night Mode and there was no difference. “480FPS” was enabled, however it’s clearly an interpolation effect with the camera recording at a lower frame rate. I’d say that the camera is actually recording at 120 or 240FPS and just using an optical flow effect to fill in the rest of the frames.

Its been out but not google approved yet. So just wait few more days and you will get it. Usually the updates are going in batches and not all at once

And what this update will bring in your device
