Are you talking about the rumored xiaomi that has no yet been released?
Im not sure if this phone is not just a copy of the Lg v10 but made by a less popular company

LG v10

There is a drop test on youtube which shows how easily it breaks and snaps in half under pressure

There's a dedicated thread for such questions here,

Lots of opinions there. I'll close this thread.

Hm Well in that case just do your research on the phone. Read and watch reviews and then take it from there. I would suggest that you make sure the phones are at the least, evenly matched spec wise, there's no reason you should be downgrading when it comes to your device. Good luck.

The specs of the huawei are higher (quadcore, hd display, 2gb of ram...) but I'm afraid of the lack of development for the device, and I've never had a huawei so I'm not sure about the building quality.

Nexus 5 or other phone?

Hey,
I'm going to buy a new phone at the end of the month and I've always thought the nexus 5 looks great and appears to be great in performance.
But it's been a while since it has gotten released and I wonder if I should still buy it.
Are there other phones which are well built and have great performance, ofcourse in the same price range.
Currently I can buy the Nexus 5 for €360, seems like there's no other phone that can match this price with it's performance.
So my question is should I buy it, or get another flagship?
This thread will probably be closed really soon. You're asking in the Nexus 5 section, we've already made our decision and bought one. You ask here, most will automatically recommend the Nexus 5. You ask in the LG G3 section, for example, and they'll recommend the LG G3. Same goes for any other device section if you were to ask.
Make your own decision.

@OP: The only better phone that I see in the price range for you is the one plus one. But you need an invite to get one so it's a pain to get one. If I were you, I'd put in more money & buy an m8 (I don't give a damn about the camera).. Probably a GPE m8.
Try it! Resell if u don't like it! But most do like it!
An S2

Why not the Intel Yolo B210 while you're at it
The HTC dream
Alright, thanks for all the reply's!
Still rocking the Nokia 3310. Currently on PA with Elemental X kernel. Combo makes this phone fly. Btw, the boot up time is incredible. Not sure if it's the kernel, but it boots up in 2 seconds!

I have until the end of the day, should I buy??

I have the LG g3 on T-Mobile. Is the one plus one worth buying right now? I know the specs are almost similar, would there be an advantage?
In my opinion, no advantage, especially since aosp ROMs are now launching on the g3.

Why do you have until the end of the day? I would stick with the G3 if your contemplating swapping the two, it's most likely better built. Unless you want/ need another phone like the One. It's certainly a nice phone for a real good price.
The email said the invite is only available for 24hrs. But yeah the development thread for the G3 is on fire right now. It's tempting though.

I switched from the ATT lg g3 and I haven't looked back. I dunno if I had a bunk g3 or wht but I had touchscreen issues even without a screen protector. And yes there is more development now but no where near as much as the one has. Also the ATT lg g3 forum had lots of people that were rude (not all of them, don't get me wrong) and just not as helpful as people here.
Now IMO the G3 definitely had a better camera..
Both great phones but for me I love the one and I love the One forum

Messed a bit with a g3 yesterday. I'll be honest, my one plus feels a lot faster. I would get the one plus, if nothing else because the battery is a beast.

I'd wait. You've got a OnePlus One, and I can't imagine you (or anyone) being dissatisfied with its performance and requiring something that's "more". If you just want something new/different to play with, grab an LG G2; they're unbelievably cheap now, and still one hell of a phone. Or a 2013 Moto X, for when you don't want a big ol' slab flopping around in your pocket.

Hello, eefo.
XDA-Developers is a good place, to get help to buy a phone, but there's a famous thread, where there's a high chance, to get help from some members.
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/slow-motion-phones-device-how-to-imo-t2998500
EDIT: Nookie has already mentioned the thread... Sorry, haven't seen your post.
But what your phone you want, depends on your preferences.
Features
Screen Size
Design
Price
User Interface
Specifications
anything else
What are your preferences?

[Question] Will there be a oneplus 6t version? And when?

Are there Informations about a 6t-version?
When not:
When was the 5t announced? So is there a possibility to know if there will be a 6t version?

Hi,
I don't think I've seen any official statements on this. The 3T and 5T were both annouced in November of their respective years and available in the same month.
When the 3T came out, they said it was a one off due to the availability of the SD821. Last year they made no prior comment and then the 5T was launched with a bigger screen.
I would say that we won't get any confirmation until it happens... But I would bet money that there will be a 6T with some form of improvement over the OnePlus 6.
The OnePlus model is to sell a phone at full price with no discounts until it's next model comes out. When the phones were priced very low, they could do that because even after a year it was a competitive choice. Now after a year there are better phones coming out after a year. Moving to a 6 month cycle means they keep people interested and higher sales figures. It's also worth noting that they increased the prices on the 3t but not the 5t. If they are increasing prices on the t models it also means OnePlus are going to flagship territory pricing. Not necessarily flagship killer like they originally used to be. This isn't bad but just demonstrates how their business model is changing to that of a more mainstream brand (similar to Sony with its 2 flagships a year) rather than an upstart.

Thanks for the announcement details. I didn't followed this and now it's clear for me that speculating is pretty much useless!

Lol,
Pretty much...
My two cents is that I think there will be a OnePlus 6T but I will still be looking at the OnePlus 6. You get a phone with a new processor rather than waiting for the 6t when it's already half way through its product cycle.
The way they have supported the OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 5 would seem to indicate they have the same software release cycle as the 3T and 5T respectively so might as well just get the OneOlus 6 when it's out. As for the 6T, it's just like the wider phone market... There are always new phones coming out with some latest feature so no point waiting as you will always be waiting for something better.

Yes, you can't wait to be "up to date". But 5 and 5t are pretty much different
When I know what are the details of the 6, I can see what I will do.
I'm willing to buy the phone my lgg4 is getting too old...

The release of a T version depends on a new chipset release by SD. If the Pixel/Note comes up with any later chipsets than 845, there are chances we would get a T device again.

Is it only chipset that would make A T version likely this year? The OP5T had the same chipset but it was down to the screen change?

The screen is already updgraded to 19:9 on the 6. I don't think we can see that going any further in 2018, at the max we can see an on screen FPS and a few camera tweaks. As I said earlier it depends on this year's pixel/note/iPhone release for further developments and market competitiveness

What do you think about this thing where people keep saying that the OnePlus 6T (that people automatically assume is coming) will definitely be notch-less ?

Well OnePlus will only start working on the next device after the release of OnePlus 6 and that can be either the 6T or something else so for now no one can confirm for sure. Also the release of the 6T shall depend on the future development in the world of tech and the other competitive devices to be released later in the year like the Pixel 3/Note/iPhone
If 6 is still competitive by the end of the year and there is no significant development in the world of tech, OP might hold its decision and rather release 7 instead of 6T

Hey buddy,
I've seen reference to late April in line with the launch of the Avengers film but I haven't seen a leak that gives a date and time? I tried to do a quick Google search but couldn't find it? Any chance you could share a link?

I'm not worried about a 6T. I got the 3T and then the 5. I skipped the 5T because it was an entirely different phone and I'm happy with my 5. I don't see what more they could pack into a new phone! The 6 will be loaded with the 845, so that won't be upgraded anytime soon. The RAM and storage will be huge so that's not an issue. The new camera and screen will be on point. Dust and water protection? I doubt it.
