Hello folks,
In 3 weeks i am able extend my phone contract and i will receive a brand new phone with it.
Now i am in a huge dilemma because i can't choose between some phones. I've listed them below and i know they all have pro's and con's.
I am a huge fan of flashing custom ROMs, taking and editing some pictures and videos every now and then, playing games like GTA 5, Hearthstone etc. streaming movies to my Chromecast on my current device which is an HTC One m7.
Personally i am strongly leaning towards the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, but my question is; which of the phones below would you choose and why?
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
LG G4
ASUS Zenfone 2
Oppo R7
ELEPHONE P7000
Huawei P8

I got the chance to play around with the GALAXY S6 Edge personally and I think it was a fabulous phone
I have the Note 4, but if I didn't have a phone i'd go for the S6 edge.
Despite the curved screen I was able to hold it in my hands very comfortably, and the edges sort of brought a "wide" viewing experience. (Not to mention it just feels very unique as if you are not limited by 4 bezel edges).
The speed, sounds, and elements of the phone felt great too
The only down side (coming as a Samsung user) for me is the non removable back which was traded in favor of very high quality build material (Glass and aluminum).
I highly recommend it.
I am unsure of other phones.
Hello, i wanna buy new phone from aliexpress, don't ask why Aliexpress , it's just cheaper. So My budget 250eur, i need fastest phone, with 4k video recording, with great support, i mean that if i screwup phone i could easily find tutorial how to fix it. I can take : LG G3,LG G3 PRIME-LTEA(I was ordered it but i refused order, because there is very little information about that phone, overall phone is powerfull it's like Note 4 considering speed, so next phonesneplus one, SONY XPERIA Z1, Z2,samsung galaxy note 3, s5, Meizu mx4, Xiaomi Mi4, LG G PRO 2, Elephone p8000, Ulefone be touch 2(not released yet), HTC one m8, htc one E8. If i skipped some powerfull but cheap phone please tell me , i need phone which will last me long, i had Lenovo golden warrior a808t but i sold it because of low battery life, TFT screen, and poor support. I wll be glad to hear your opinion guys
With no P8 Max or Sony Ultra successor, where to go for 6'8" size Phablets?
I'm panicked. It's a dead breed!
Yeah that sucks no P9max
Lenovo Phab Plus any good?
I am a proud P8 Max user (the international variant) and I am disappointed that the P9 Max did not get released.I am also pleased that it did get released because I have only recently purchased my P8 Max and I am pretty happy with it and would not even consider getting a Samsung S7 Edge or the P9 Plus or any of the Ipants versions.
Also, as a former user of the Xperia Z Ultra, this phone is on a completely different quality level. As for the Lenovo Phab Plus, I don't think it compares to the P8 Max in terms of quality and spec so I would buy the P8 Max again with my eyes closed over the Phab Plus or X Z Ultra or even the LeTV Le Max/Pro 6.33".
The important question here is did someone lie about the P9 Max existence? Why did all the tech blogs fail to give accurate information or gave almost confirmed information? Was Oppomart the web site that claimed to have unveiled the specs at 6.2" inch display when subsequent rumours claimed 6.8" inches did it as a scam to promote their site?
Clearly, either Huawei decided at the last minute to postpone the launch to gatecrash the release of Samsung Note 6 in September or as suggested it has been discontinued as a series. Lets hope I am wrong about some of the statements I am making and that some good news will emerge but for now I think all the so called tech/mobile experts have failed miserably even at rumour level.
Do we need a successor to the P8 Max? Possibly yes in an ideal world but I strongly think the developer community priority should be to start developing quality roms for this precious handset and the legacy of this device will last many years think of it as the HTC HD2 for the Phablet lovers. This way we would not even need to hope for a better model when this one almost ticks all the boxes (except the lack of IR blaster and NFC support).
Thats all that is needed for this phone/the ultimate REAL phablet.
On a separate note, I was looking to put my P8 Max DAV-701L Titanium Grey on sale if the successor was announced but I guess I have to put that thought on hold. Lets see what the future holds.
Yeah i don't get it. Many websites had the specs for the P9max. Now they all changed it to the P9 Plus. There is a big difference between 6,8 and 5,5 inch.
Also gsmarena changed it :s

I still hope the P9max comes unannounced, like the P9 Lite:

I'm also looking at the new Letv Max Pro X910 6.33-Inch. The specs looks good.

Just saw the Mate 8 in the store here. Phone looks great and front finaly in black but its 6 inch So i still need to think about it.
Looks like there will be a P9 Max after all. If this supports full LTE on T-Mobile in the US you bet i'll be buying one:

Yeah! Saw that P9 Max 6'9" screen info!
Sadly, I'm positive there be no LTE frequencies for T-Mobile..
It's just been a Huawei guarantee!
Been using in US? HSPU? How's that been for you?

I am using it with LTE enabled on the Three and Vodafone UK networks and the reception and 4G is really good (coverage dependant). Also, as I have the international model, the overall operation is really good and smooth and call drops etc I used to experience on same networks with Samsung handsets is non existent.

There will be full US LTE support, same as the Mate 8.
Hi, I believe the next big thing is a dual screen of 6.8 inch each as one phone the same size as p8 max. There was conspiricy to cover up with NEC's dual screen phone that had combined screen area smaller than p8 max's single 6.8 screen. I have said too much and endangered my own career. You need a blue tooth keyboard one in home, one in car, one in office. And the thing will be the last laptop you ever have to buy.
I hope P9 Max release...
ASUS Zenfone 3 Ultra is coming!
What's a shame no 6Go LPDDR4 version.

yeap, but on ASUS Zenfone 3 Ultra microSD uses SIM 2 slot.
waiting another smartphone
I broke my Samsung s6 edge plus. So I need a budget phone. I have a choice of a second hand Nexus 5, a new cobut note s, and a new doogee x6 plus.
I also have a ulefone Paris, but it needs a new screen.
All help and advise grateful.
I suggest you to take Nexus 5 since the Nexus 5 received mostly positive reviews, praising the device's balance of overall performance and cost in comparison to other "flagship" phones

1. In comparison between the Note 7 Ro and Vivo U20, RN7 Pro has a clean win.
Here are some cons of the U20:
i) Lack of USB Type C port
ii) Plastic Backside (RN7 Pro has Gorilla Glass 5)
iii) Lack of 48MP sensor
iv) Lack of community support (You can never get as much community support as a RN7 Pro)
And all this at a price difference of ₹1000 ($14)?
2. Well, even now the phone's on the road to being outdated by its own successors within 6-8 months. This would occur to every device you buy, unless it's a high end flagship. At this range even the Note 8 Pro gives you better specs. The hardware is quite good tho, even though it might become out-dated, it's capable of running almost any task... The community support is amazing as well. Check out the ROM section and you'd be surprised to find the vast number of ROM's available.
