#OTA #Nougat

P2's Top 10 uniqueness are:
1) Rocket-charge better than Qualcomm Quick-Charge 3.0.
2) 5,100 mAh energy supply with slim 8.3mm profile.
3) Reverse charging thru supplied micro-USB adapter.
4) Front-mounted always-on fingerprint reader with optional Android home, back & recent apps navigation.
5) Diamond PenTile Super AMOLED with 510 nits.
6) NFC for mobile payment and peripherals.
7) Semi-AI rear camera with 4K video recording.
8) One-key Ultimate Power Saver slider.
9) 86dB loudspeaker with dedicated amplifier.
10) Semi-Pure stock Android OS.

Current selling price is below USD230.

There is none "similar" to specs above. The closest are:
1) Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro;
2) Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL;
3) Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1/M2/M3;
4) Xiaomi Mi Max 3.
5) Motorola Moto One Power & G7 Power
6) Other Second Grade China-made models; eg. Gionee, Oukitel, Elephone, Ulefone, Bluboo, Blackview, Vernee, Leagoo, Doogee, Cubot, etc.

Almost all current P2 owners are hoping to upgrade to P3 but Lenovo has unofficially ended the P-series as of now.

There is no contender or replacement for this "state-of-the-art" at the moment...

yipee to grand daddy

P2 user checking in.

Been using P2 since end Jan, after my Lenovo S920 screen black out. So far so good.

One question for who upgrade to Nougat, does the "select mock location app" still available in developer options?

Still in investigation...

If ur current SIM card does not detect VoLTE inside P2, you may need to change to a new nano-SIM card... Does YES telco charge for SIM card replacement...?

Yep..


Attached thumbnail(s)

Think they do..

Doesn't matter anyway.. only use for data 😀

Very nice...

I took the plunge and updated to nougat. So far so good.

Thanks for confirming that.

can you guys shares where did u get the casing and glass?

Btw, when I hide the system buttons at the bottom my whatsapp emoji preview only two lines. Like scaling gone wrong. Anyone has this issue?

Please refer to my post #1 above under "Accessories" label...

It is definitely an issue after Nougat OTA... Worldwide issue...

It could be either WhatsApp incompatibility with certsin DPI or it is something wrong with P2 stock ROM...u can try to install latest or older version(s) of WhatsApp to analyze which version suits P2 Nougat platform...
