can this phone handle 3d games smoothly..


like dungeon hunter or mu origins sea?


I saw pokemon go play also lag and its not that graphics intensive

The lag in Pokemon is not due to the phone, I think.

Previously posted this - Likely its due to the developers making it unnecessarily cpu-intensive. Not optimized.

----------------------------------

For pokemongo users, FYI. If you find the app not running well, it could be cos of the developers, not the phone. Due to them adding stuff that makes it run smoothly only on the highest end processors, stuff that is not necessary for gameplay.

For me, the tracking isn't the biggest issue with Pokemon GO, it's all the security measures Niantic is taking in trying to stop people from tinkering with their codebase which in turn hurts the real users.

Has anyone noticed how battery hungry the game has become after the 0.37.0 patch? How sluggish the game feels since 0.37? How the game doesn't run on some phone brands anymore unless you do advanced manipulations?

Those are all measures they implemented to try to stop us, reverse engineers, from trying to understand their game protocol and logic.

Let's tackle the first issue, battery usage increase due to their obfuscation.

Prior to 0.37, to do 1+1, the only issued "command" was 1+1 (simplifying, this isn't how arm assembly works) , it was a single cpu cycle. Right now, to try to hide the real 1+1 from us, they do lots of random operation such as 5*39, 45/9.45, 1+1 , etc etc, which add a lot of cpu cycle aka battery usage + lag.

This is why reversing the API has taken a long time this time around, this obfuscation adds lots of bogus code flow and instructions that are useless for the end result, they're just here to slow us down from trying to understanding the code. In the long run it doesn't stop us. But it stops older model phone from running the game smoothly because what was once a game that ran on almost most android 4.4+ is now a game that can be run smoothly on only 600+€ devices.

The second issue is SafetyNet which in my opinion is Niantic/Google's dumbest business decision. SafetyNet is like GameGuard for Android. It stops root and modified kernel from running the game. Side effect: Most chinese brand, blackberry are blocked without even being rooted.
The android ecosystem is dev friendly and encoruages rooting as well. Cheaters don't need root to cheat. Reverse engineers can bypass safetynet easily to deobufscate & reverse engineer the code. Once again this security measure doesn't stop us but it stops legit users from playing.

SafetyNet was meant as a measure to make Android Pay run only on trusted environment. It wasn't meant as an Anti Cheat system.

Now this is my message to Niantic: Keep obfuscating if you don't care about performance issue on your game, keep using SafetyNet if you want to block 5-6% of android phones.

Define reliable?

Electronics sure have failure rate, so far seems okay here. I'm using for two months. Some ppl bought direct from taobao and using since May.

yes 2 flat pin IIRC, I didn't even take it out of the box, have other chargers to use. But yeah, just get a simple adapter. $1+ can find in neighbourhood hardware shop.

This phone not for small hands < 20cm in case anyone want to buy, better get a case with ring behind.

Either one is made in China anyway. India export set will come with global rom pre install. This save lots of trouble to get Google play store to work correctly.

Local set come with warranty but is around $100 to $120 more then those you can get from web purchase, which usually gives only 1 to 2 week warranty.
