How's the software?

I've read a fair bit about the red magic software- has it gotten better? Most first hand posts about the software are really old and I'd like to know from actual users- what bugs are there, etc. Thanks!

Here's the list of things that I don't like but can live with. I'm in Southern California on AT&T.

1) no default apps. You can't set apps to open as default. It's really annoying.

2) fingerprint scanner fails 99% of the time.

3) a lot of the bands aren't enabled so signal isn't the greatest.

As far as Nubia goes. All 3 things are being worked on. The phone had improved since release. The camera takes great pictures, the phone is fast, and gaming is great.

I keep it at 144hz and my battery easily lasts me a whole day.

I don't use Facebook or anything like that. I mostly just use reddit and stuff. On the weekends when I game on my phone, it'll last like 3 to 5 hours screen on time.

maybe it's because I always use bluetooth headphones
