Z5s Mini

Hi I'm the Z5s Mini user that was mentioned. I just checked if I had ever signed up for an account here and it seems I did but forgot.

Anyway:

Z5s Mini <-- vs --> Gionee Elife S5.5

4.7" 720p Sharp IGZO screen <--> 5.0" 1080p Super AMOLED screen

Snapdragon 600 1.7 Quadcore <--> Octacore MediaTek MT6592 1.7

Adreno 320 <--> Mali 400 GPU

2000mAh <--> 2300 mAh

Your questions:

No the IGZO screen doesn't have the same deep blacks and eye-popping saturation/contrast of SAMOLED or a good IPS panel. There is however nothing drastically wrong with it, it has a few down/upsides like any screen technology, but no deal-breakers.

Look, heavy gaming is going to drain the battery on most phones with an average size battery. In this case the Gionee has a larger screen, and more pixels to push, and only 300mAh more juice, so I think it'll perform around the same or even worse than the Z5s Mini (not to mention the 4 extra cores). Add to that the Mali 400 is not as strong as the Adreno 320, and having to push more pixels, if it's gaming you're after, then I'd go Z5s Mini.

Data/whatsapp/surfing doesn't kill the battery on mine, so I'm sure you could average out a day if you're careful.

You could consider the Z5s (5.0" CGS+NM2) (it's only a tiny bit larger than the Mini) which has the Snapdragon 800 / Adreno 330 (more power efficient package) and a 2300mAh battery.

The Mini is my first Android phone, coming from a Nokia 701, so I'm still a mega-n00b. I ordered mine from a Chinese site and paid $40 for DHL. If the Z5s was supported by MIUI I probably would have saved up longer for the Z5sn which has physical OIS.

I'm very happy with the Mini.

which of the 2 apps has 4:2:2 chroma subsampling enabled? or they are both for hdr video and have nothing to do with 4:2:2 chroma subsampling?

thanks for the apps
[General Questions and Answers] defcomg:
Just HDR Video. the difference with CineDroid and Nubia Camera CineDroid Allows 4K HDR Video but I think its capped at 24fps Given that HDR Video actually Shoots at 2x Framerate so max is 48fps also cinedroid is open source so you may modify the program

For the jpeg subsampling

type

setprop persist.camera.snap.format 1

reboot and you're done

The Z5S mini seems to be a better choice for me. Although the combination of 5 inch+Snapdragon 800+Adreno 330 is a killer deal...the lack of SD card slot is not a good option for me...and the 32 GB is above my bedget....is there any official MIUI for the Z5S mini?
[General Questions and Answers] tivac:
Yes, For mini and also for z5s

No
[General Questions and Answers] dozycat:
It looks like there is official miui, at least z5s full has one.

But for games there could be a problem the z5s has error 911, not sure about the mini.
[General Questions and Answers] pgchelsea:
What error 911? How's the performance of the Z5S? Is it's battery life better?? I expect gaming is very good seeing the specs.....
[General Questions and Answers] dozycat:
performance is good.

911 is one error you can get if the file of the game es big.

OK... Z5S or Xiaomi Mi3?

I'm more intended to buy the Z5S because of it's size and camera... but I'm afraid it will be forgotten by ZTE... I heard it's gonna receive Kit Kat? Is that so?

This is you solution, a custom Rom which doesn't support everything, has less features, some bugs and even worse not good translation. If you have a solution to get it work on stock Rom which should be the most normal thing, than you can write a guide because the Bug isn't available at Miui or most of the other Roms.

Hi Chrismast,

I just bought the ZTE Nubia Z5S and it didn't have play store installed. The problem I am having is during the CWM install the phone restarted and not stuck on booting LOGO. I can access the android system recovery but when I choose update from sdcard I only see (../) and nothing else. I think it is a mounting problem but I don't know how to solve the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Considering Oneplus One (it has cyanogenmod so it would be great)

Not that Nubia is bad, the bad thing is the support, I didn't see many cm build around for that

P.S. Same applies to Chinese phones, mediatek processor is good enough but without proper support(roms) it's a hard choice to make
[General Questions and Answers] tivac:
Z5s is opensource but the support is only on chinese pages. Now we have kitkat, cyanogen 11, mokee and resurrection remix all of these are 4.4.2 rom and has art support also we have latest trwp and cwm recovery. There is a kernels have overlock, underclock and powersawer options. İ will add these things too but why not xda supporting this device i dont know

System paritions are labeled as Ext4, sd-card as VFAT by Partition Table app. CWM's log had an note that sdcard0 is non-vfat (but extFAT) though.

I don't really know where to find the correct info. TWRP seems to have a partition table overview, but I have no idea if CWM does or what apps are reliable for this.

"No SIM"

Hello everyone,

I've bought a Z5s Mini device, but unfortunately, when I insert my SIM card, it's is not recognized by the phone. It's like there would be nothing in the slot. Every function operates on the phone, except the phone mode... :) Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Can somebody provide me a stable ROM for this type of phone? I've tried to update it with several ROMs, but none of them worked, the only exception was the Miui ROM, but it was very unstable.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Daniel

İn russian 4pda forum, they are talking about problems like this. As they say some of z5s has different parts and causing this kind of problems. So you must use full official sources.

[General Questions and Answers] yooskoo:
So after original recovery i flash the "NX503A_UI2.0_0627_signed.zip" with install zip command in recovery, then i get the 4.4.2 recovery?

After that in new recovery wipe the data/sytem/cache, then agian flash the "NX503A_UI2.0_0627_signed.zip" and got the rom working?

Or from the zip i get the recovery folder then zip it in then flash thath zip file just with te recovery folder?
