Aint LeEco got major financial issues, failed take over of Vestel or something like thats caused them huge issues, whether or not that affects their phone arm im not sure, good spec though for the price.

OP, the X820 DOES have Band 20 support.
Not sure why Banggood don't list this, the X829 is the Chinese and NA model, X820 is EU/International
Yeah, rumours are they're restructuring internally to focus on TV sales, with most of the Indian mobile division fired as they've near enough conceded defeat to Xiaomi abroad. Just rumours though, OnePlus went through very patchy times at conception but now they're in major retailers, there's hope yet :stuck_out_tongue:

Regardless, good phone for the price, great power and an official Lineage OS build. Good stuff.

Both of mine have been fine (x829 though same hardware and firmware (16s). Unless you have a need for 6GB I'd save the £50 and buy the x829 with 4/64GB. Neither has b20, the 3/33gb x820 typically has if you feel the need. :smiley:
FastZone: FastZone is a feature that keeps your mostly used apps such as WhatsApp, Twitter, Email apps, and games in a sort of permanently opened state. That way, when you launch them, they open instantly
wow that will appeal to the Greenify/Naptime fans

You must have the only working one because many of the reviews on Gearbest and banggood mention the non working fingerprint reader. Even many of the published reviews on the web, and youtuber reviews mention it didn't work on their review units.

Negative. No B20 Band. There is B20 model of this phone so why buy this one which is not made to work in UK.

I bought one with B20. There is Le max 2 X822, wchich support B20.

Nope, I have two working units. Maybe the only two that work, though I find that unlikely. :wink:

Did you receive one with working fingerprint sensor, maybe we can bring the total to three. :wink:

Have one in our family. Finger print sensor is dodgy to say the least, Colours are off, and notifications from wi-fi apps were broken when phone was in sleep mode until I put a 3rd party cynamogen rom on quite a while ago, so maybe those problems are fixed. Apart from that it's been reliable and solid.
Oh yeah, in every thread, in various forums, about the finger print sensor or phone in general, you always see someone claiming to have multiple numbers of the phone where the finger print sensor works perfectly, lol. But maybe they have fixed it on later units. I would check xda forums if it will bother you too see if it still persists.

Well it works, but problem is with size of the fingerprints sensor. It means is much bigger than finger which cause a lot of trouble to work. I have to touch my finger with correct angle to work, otherwise won't see it.

Banggood updated, B20 now listed.
fubuki81 to damadgeruk
19 Apr 17#25
Strongly advise everyone to ask customer service, because the only one with B20 was X822 model. All of X822, X820,X829 etc. models are showing X820 as a software but got some minor different specs, missing B20 i.e. And most important thing phones with B20 freq. are more expensive, i think just one asian country use it ( not sure but Taiwan).

X820 listed here previously with B20, X821 and X822 listings show B20 too, only the X829 is without the necessary hardware.

is there a phone like this but with a 5" or smaller screen, I don't like these massive screen phones

I have the X829. Great speced phone for sure but that display just eats the battery.

Obviously going to be more expensive than this but people may want to wait for forthcoming Xiaomi Mi6 as it's on another level compared to this:
I'm tempted to upgrade my Xiaomi mi5 to this however the lack of headphone jack, and price has put me off a bit .
Also cant really compare Vs this deal its going to be about 2x as much when its available through the re sellers

Almost as if people who don't have any problems with their device don't leave reviews saying "Nothing's broken!".

Is Band 20 a deal breaker? With EE, Vodafone and 3 using bands that are supported by many of these Chinese phones it shouldn't be a problem
MysticalUndies to benfleet5
20 Apr 17#37
Not a problem for me on EE using the X829 6/128 without B20. Also no issues with the fingerprint scanner on my model. This phone is amazing for the price. Screen is awesome, build quality great and the performance is amazing as it has the faster UFS memory. Downside battery lasts only a day but i charge my phone everynight anyway so not an issue. I'd rather have the the screen quality and performance. Camera is also spot on too.

Don't agree . I live in west London, where Vodafone shut down 2g frequency, 3g is horrible and only one working is 800 MHz 4g band 20. This is why i changed my xiaomi note 4g to le max x822. My girlfriend got xiaomi Red mi 3 with EE and no 4g reception at all. It shows mobile phone operators can easilly push ppl in any area of UK to use frequency they never needed in the past.

It will be interesting to see what the actual "street price" turns out to be because the RRP of $360 converts to about £250.
The interesting thing that they have the SD835 from the Galaxy S8 and a similar dual standard / wide angle camera from the LG G6, so in a flash, they've already got two key features from the leading flagship phones. This could be a really interesting phone if they can get the pricing right.

Wasn't preaching mate more asking a question. I mentioned the networks that provide the service (1, 3 and 7) however I wouldn't touch Vodafone with an oversized barge poll!

Jeez....that's more than Xiaomi's RRP. I'm sure the price will come down once released. Geekbuying seem to be cashing in on pre-release hype!

I had a one pro S, powerful but awful bloatware on the OS and almost impossible to flash with a custom.ROM.

NO big deal to change the model numbers I bought x829 but changed to Indian rom because there was no factory update settings on the american rom. My phone works fine.

ROMs are interchangeable though hardware is fixed. You may have changed the ROM though you still don't have B20.

I am not sure about that. Actually it shouldn't even work if you say that. However I will check out using ee Sim
