Not really though, usually only devices that supports unlock bootloader and run snapdragon processor will have developers. From my experience, phones that uses 3rd party/dedicated processors like mediatek or kirin dont have much custom roms

pretty much most developers are in for SD SoC, but i believe Exynos also have, kirin is still quite new player, maybe wait and see.

For me, no matter how good the battery & charging performance, giving just 6 months for battery warranty is rather risky.
Ever bring back to Asus service centre for battery warranty claim after more than 11 months usage due to bloated battery causing the LED screen to popped out.

They changed for me 3 items.
The LED screen, the non-removable battery & the dual SIM card tray. All new parts, at no costs to me.

$230 seems a pretty good price for the 5 plus 3/32. Get 2x qoo10 gift card and if you have qpoints to offset, can bring down the price by another $16. But chances are, the price will only got down further the longer you wait. Are there any major cons with getting the phone now with china rom than to wait for a global rom release(if and when its released)?

even though heard from previous is all those china rom have spyware or too many apps. (but this also doesn't means that global rom might be totally free from it.)

but still i think that they might be other ways to prevent it? (not sure how :o)

How does it fare against Redmi 5 plus? Both are new phone 2017?
all these using same snapdragon 625 cpu ...... so the difference would be minimal ... 1gb ram , 1 inch screen , 20% battery ....

2/16gb redmi 5 with a 720p screen.

might as well get the rn4x 3/32gb for the same price. 1080p screen, 4100mah battery...

Yes, I agree with you. Get a RedMi Note 4/4X. Pay so high price for a inferior spec, not worth.
