i am not an expert but after reading the description from the beginning to the end and how to flash this phone , i cannot say anything about it because as i said at the beginning , i am not an expert.

Thumb up for sharing this hot (or cold) deal anyways.

We buy things that we don't need, with money that we don't have, to impress people that we don't like.

Not many times you can say "great internals, horrific aesthetic" but this phone nailed it lol. That back? Wowza. And literally branded with Tencent Games name. That's gonna be a no from me dawg.

That said, specs are very impressive, even at $650. If you don't care about the look then jump in, no second thoughts. Wonder how the LOS scene will be with this one...

Lol if you love it, then that's all that matters at the end of the day.
I'm not a RGB fan...but similar to you, one of my buddies would be ALL OVER this just for the look. I'm gonna link him to it. Difference is he plays almost every mobile game that's huge at the moment

You will be stuck with a phone in Chinese and no Google Play until devs develops a custom rom for it.

Even if I was stuck with a Chinese rom, it takes 30 seconds to install Google Play

But, in the OP, I posted an idiotproof guide to installing the global rom over the Chinese rom

AFAIK the Tencent version just has their logo and some exclusive software installed
