1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

2. In Contrary it has a great speaker

3. I want his review after realme ui

4. just slap a custom rom on it and ur good

5. The 48MP Sony camera sensor is being put in lots of cheap phones now.

6. thank you for your honest review. Most other ones I could find were just talking about how great it is

7. When android 10 wil come out on rmx1901 Chinese version

8. The new update is the best… Well optimised and smooth and butter..

9. + no memory card slot

10. Unpopular Opinion coming through: I think the ColorOS 6 (or at least, the 6.1 update my Realme 5 got right after I turn on for the first time) is great and it made me want to switch from my current Mi A1 running Android One.
    I used to hate ColorOS when I first used the Find 5 because of its iOS-mimic appearance and also the way Oppo restricted its customization back then comparing to MIUI or CyanogenMod. But since I knew about the ColorOS 6 I found out Oppo is actually listening to users and improving ColorOS with useful features and getting rid partially of the restricted iOS-like UX so I bought the Realme 5 for my dad to use and also to experience myself with ColorOS 6, after 10 days of using I completely changed my mind about ColorOS.
    ColorOS 6 in my opinion is a feature-packed custom Android with so much features and settings but doesn't have enough user guide and documentation to help an average user to make the most of it. For example your criticism on the Clear All Recent App button won't clear some social media apps because those apps are locked to prevent missed notification: for average users they will find this to be annoying but since I noticed the small lock icon next to App name and found there is a hidden option to unlock in the menu I can easily solve the problem, Oppo/Realme could display some info about those apps are locked when users configure the phone for the first time to let them know what to do.
    Photo processing algorithm is obviously not as refined as Pixel phones but you have to know that how Oppo has been doing since almost the begining and people in Asia bought Oppo phones because they really love that unreallistic-look photo so I doubt even with Stock Android pre-installed Oppo/Realme would use their Camera app instead of Google Camera (just like my Mi A1 using MIUI Camera App but not Google Camera).
    For my personal review of ColorOS6 then beside the lack of user guide and some strange Settings menu arrangement I think ColorOS 6 is way ahead of Stock Android in convenient and usefulness, for example on Mi A1 the built-in phone number blocking in Phone and Message only marked blocked numbers as spam and display it when they call and you have to choose in the menu 2 times to set it as "Blocked" and "Marked it as spam" but the number still be able to call you, on ColorOS 6 I just have to choose to Block number and done, any call from that number is automatically hang up.
    I could say this forever but I decided to end this long and probably no one will read comment with my final thought that Oppo/Realme should continue refining ColorOS instead of completely switch to Vanilla Android like Nokia or Mi A-Series did.
    In fact, the upcoming ColorOS 7 and the so-called Realme UI is taking ASUS ZenUI 6 approach with making the UI more minimalistic and closely to Vanilla Android but still keeping features (and bloatware) to make it distinguishable is something I really want to see because with the improvement ColorOS has gone from a sluggish and useless iOS-clone to a surprisingly useable UI for me, a self-claimed power user, I think there will be a time when ColorOS (and hopefully MIUI and other Heavily-skinned Chinese UI) will reach the best of both world, having the clean and refined UX of Vanilla Android while having intensive features so I can use Android the way I want.

11. Lol never assumed to see you here on Android Authority Ryan 😀

12. I was very surprised at this phone, from the AMOLED display to the 48MP back camera. This is probably the best phone for the price so far. The phone has high quality Dolby Atmos too.

13. @4:43 It is overpriced and the camera software alone doesn't change that, especially because it is barebone Android that sucks donkey in my experience with Android One.
    @5:26 No, that is not the difference. Xiaomi offers a great software experience and doesn't charge a premium for it. Just like Realme which comes with Color OS just like Oppo, which is a premium brand.
    In conclusion: Some Android skins are better optimized than others and there is a corellation to the price of the device but it is not a strong one because MIUI and Color OS are on both, premium and budget devices. Funtouch OS is IMHO not exactly a great Android skin but Vivo is a premium brand. There are AFAIK more premium brands with decent to mediocre skins than with great Android skins.

14. i love the colourOS overall design but i also love and feel like its better the pure android but i wish android would've given us more designs and changes i feel like we are stacked with boxy style like forevr look at the IOS it just keep on looking way more cooler every year thts why we are so in skin kinda shit with too much ads

15. Review the realme X2 pro bro

16. I agree 100% the Color Os on this phone is Trash!

17. Stock android is boring, not many feature feels like IOS, and also android is open source so that manufacturers can modify it instead of looking stale, i prefer a skinned phone over stock anyday

18. You spent a long time criticizing the software but didn't point out anything specific wrong with it besides the camera processing. I wish you had brought some more specific criticisms because currently I can't tell if your issues with the software are relevant to me or not.

19. okay, you spent 3 minutes telling us that the software isn't good which I am willing to believe but instead of just repeating it I wish you could review it. Like what is so bad about it excluding the inability to close all apps? Nonetheless, it's good to see someone talking about software in the first place.

20. Will it work on USA carriers ?

21. They should ship it with Android One

22. Im from Portugal. Where can I buy this one or the honor 9x? Wich one is the Best? Thank you

23. This video is a bit weird, instead of making the review based on the pricing you are comparing it with expensive phones.
    What else do you get at this point, its a really great phone at its price point.
    I hate all these tech reviewers, they always forget about the pricing after mentioning it once

24. At 4:03 you have locked the background application
    which is meant to not close application with a single click and you have to manually swipe up to close such apps
    And you are claiming apps aren't terminating

25. I have one question. Generally speaking, stock Android is something that most people like. Moreover, developing a custom skin uses up resources like time and money. So why is that manufacturers that focus on budget phones don't equip them with stock Android? It is cheaper to develop, faster and people like it more.

26. "Software" can be fixed by users, hardware can't.. Just flash a rom

27. Barely any mention of the specific problems in the software.

28. MIUI too. It seems nice at 1st until you start using it for while. Every passing minute It goes worse and worse. I regret buying an Xiaomi phone 100%. I'll buy Android One next time. No way I spend money on half-baked broken os. Nothing can save it.

29. how about the realme os which is gona be launched soon close to stock as per rumrs?

30. Please , how to make one step back on it please maybe some one knows

31. Hi people I was wondering if someone can tell how to do step back on this phone please… Can't find

32. Excellent review. Very Enlightening. I had bought the Realme 3 and sold it in two days because I couldn't stand Colour OS as a software. It's very cumbersome and extremely
    annoying to use. I believe if they stick to stock Android, they would certainly have more buyers in the market.

33. 3:11 hoh shit, this phone's camera us seriously shit!😂😂

34. Hello failtech.

35. Realme is going to launch new OS close to stock android this feels awesome

36. If you actually understand android you should know the software is heavily customizable and if you got a good hardware you change the look feel uninstall or disable apps and much more! And you made color os sound like none will ever like it or like its just trash which is not true. You are letting down android authority

37. I just got a realme x and it's software is 🔥 tbh it's really the best

38. Redmi k20 pro

39. Just install a nova launcher and Pixel app icons. Tada…Problem solved.

40. Flash PE Rom and make review..

41. Well, finally someone recognised how important software is!

42. Realme Software is under development so lets keep it quiet for now

43. This is the reason, why I always rely on AA reviews. Simple, precise, On point, Just imp./needed info and reviews from buyer pov.

44. Yeah, color os doesn't feel mature and looks cartoonish. But it isn't that bad as you tell here. It's definitely usable, smooth and some neat features. Also I don't understand this craze of stock android. Believe me, it's not that gud enough to spend a premium. I have used color os, stock android, Miui, OOS but OOS and Miui are my favorites.

45. If they used Snapdragon 845 and give USB type C in any one of the variant, i would have definitely gone for it. Now i will either buy poco/k20 pro

46. Watching it on my Realme X! 😍

47. Very good & interesting device with super design & latest software and hardware specifications with value for money phone. I love it.
    Very good to hear from you. Keep up the good work brother.

48. I don't agree, I just bought the realms X and it works fine better than my 01 plus previous

49. Cheaper hardware = more sales = more profit
    Free software = more user =??? Profit

50. The UI sucks to the core 💩
    Shitty Color OS
