Please help me. I want to buy a new phone, but not really sure which one to pick. My favorite is Huawei Mate 8. I am also thinking about OnePlus 2, LETV LE MAX and Elephone Vowney High. I am looking for the highest performance. Advise me which one of theese or add another thanks
i would say choose between oneplus and huawei mate 8. since oneplus and huawei especially make a huge entrance in the market. i bought a honor 4x for my mother cause her phone died and she is more than pleased with it. so pick between those 2 if you also look for some custom rom support and root (i think you do if you are around on xda) cheers
i wanted mate 8, but i found that it has kirin processor, so no custom rom :/
or is it possible?
I suggest you the oneplus 2

Hello
I have two main questions:
1.Did really worth replace Honor 6 for Honor 6 Plus? Does double camera really gives a good picture? Why no one dont put some pictures and comparisons camera about Honor 6 Plus? Why, it is impossible to find on the internet?
*
and
2. Which phone?
My last phone was Xiom Mi3. Since I want to buy a new phone that is as good as Xiaomi Mi3 or even better just to have dual-sim, Igeta few phone. In the end I chose the Xiaomi Mi notes. Realistically there is no better phone with dual card and that the cost to the 350eura on Aliexpres. But unfortunately the Aliexpresu, Mi Note prices to hight - 410EUR minimum and I gave up. Too bad I do not have someone in China so that they can buy the phone for 320Euro in Xiaomi store. What is left and that can be purchased to 320eur is:
First ZTE Nubia Z7 Max (average phone but still may set for 320Euro)
2nd Huawei Honor 6 (processor is not something special, camera approximate Mi3)
3rd Huawei Honor 6 Plus (give really has a good camera or double camera only reklma?)
4th Lenovo Vibe x2 (a nice phone with jakip processor, camera approximate Mi3)
5th Huawei P7 (weak processor, camera approximate Mi3)
6th June, U3 (specifications as MI notes, but in reality that's not it - see clips YT)
7. Some of your recommendation ...
This is my opinion and I would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations. Are Honor 6 Plus relly better then all of them?
I have my honor 6 plus and its camera are better than my galaxy note 3 I believe

I've been waiting for this phone. I finally received it but I am not particularly happy with camera (as it doesnt have slow motion or taking picture during video), battery is bad (blame it on kirin processor), slow phone (unless you kill every goddamm app with inbuilt phone manager). So all in all I wish i didnt buy this phone. Sorry if my review doesn't help you with your decision making!

There are apps in Google store for slow motion and so on.
Battery is bad in what sense ?
The phone being slow is also odd compared to what many users feel. The Honor 6 and Mate 7 also have the same kirin 92x chip and no complains at all. On the contrary all reviews talk about phone performing great despite having tons of apps in the background.

The phone is very fast and 3GB of RAM.
The honor 6 is a great phone with high specifications but seems that Huawei/honor can't exploit all the posibilities. They should open the drivers in order to facilitate the development.
There is no easy way to unlock bootloader, no custom rom ,people with this phone enjoying with stock roms ,i just got honor 6 + 4 days back for nearly 25,000, i sold it for just 11000 because of these very very verrrrrrrrrrrry slow development, good bye.?
Hey , I'm about to buy a new smartphone and I'm wondering which smartphone will be the best for 300 bucks.
So what I want is a solid build smartphone ,weight doesn't bother me .A powerful CPU and sufficient RAM for Browsing internet,Watching Youtube, Social Media(Multitasking) and playing occasionnaly some games (asphalt,..) .A good Camera I don't care about low light or recording 4K videos I just want some Good Pictures ,more details and sharpness and accurate autofocus since I will use it for social media. And a durable Battery at least one day without charging !!! ; and a loud speakers not the loudest as the Axon 7 but at least audible.
After many searches I found that the Mi 5s is the best, but I heard that some users have encountered some problems with the fingerprint scanner , 4G connectivity , and battery draining too fast, and Problems with multitasking as the phone had to reload apps everytime , I dunno if it's a problem of some units or general.
But I also found these Smartphones : Leeco Le Pro 3, Leeco Le Max 2, Zuk Z2 , Honor 8 , ASUS Zenfone 3, Meizu Pro6, Huawei Honor V8 , Xiaomi Mi 5 , Zte Nubia 11 ,..., if u know something else in this price range please tell me.
So My Priorities are Performance , Camera , Solid Build , Battery , Audio .
Please Guys , tell me which smartphone can handle my needs ? is Mi 5s better than those listed above ?
PS: My Provider 4G bands are 800/1800/1600 Mhz
Could please answer to the pool below
Thanks in advance.
The vote will be undoubtedly biased in favor of the Honor 8
That's a whole lot a phones you're inquiring about... why don't you do your own research by reading the threads that already been created in the various phones forums you listed.

I know but most of the reviews are kind of sponsored or presented by fanboys !! So I need help with the community to help me choose the best for me.
I have reduced the list to 4 devices
Honor 8 (4gb) , huawei P9 (3gb) , Oneplus 3 , Axon 7 (4gb) !
I want best performance in day to day tasks , good battery , good daylight camera stills , good display , and acceptable sound
HONOR 8 <3
I did my own research but with the following devices: S7 Edge, ZTE Axon 7, ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser, Moto Z Play, OnePlus 3T and HTC 10.
I ended up getting Honor 8 as the EMUI skin is much better (and smoother) than other OEMs skins. Device just looks so much better than other devices of it's range like Axon, OP 3T etc., Looking forward to the dual cameras as well. I don't listen to music via speakers so lack of front facing speakers was not an issue for me.
Also figured while I wait for S8 Unlocked (which could take probably the end of next year in the USA), I can enjoy Honor 8 until then. The company also recently revealed that Honor 8 will receive updates for 2 years.
The only frustration I had was dealing with notifications but after playing around with it, I have set it to work the way I want.
Hope this helps.
I previously had a Galaxy S7 and wasn't impressed with their variant of Android. Overall I've been impressed with the Honor 8. Despite technically being slower specs wise than the Snapdragon 820, this phone is far more fluid than most other phones I've used. Typically in my experience when manufacturers customize Android and skin it to their liking it seems the end result is a bogged down mess but it's different with the Honor 8.
After having the Honor 8 for a couple of weeks as my daily driver here are my impressions of it.
Pros:
1. The CPU is extremely efficient and performs great.
2. The design is very impressive and sleek. I really enjoy that the phone is completely linear and flat. It feels very balanced in the hand and using it is comfortable.
3. The fingerprint sensor is accurate and quick. I've never seen a fingerprint sensor as fast as this one is.
4. Despite being iOS themed everything is efficiently placed in the UI and fits together very well in my opinion.
5. There is very little bloat that needs to be removed unlike other phones.
6. It only cost me $300 with a case, extra cable and charger.
Cons:
1. The stock launcher should be replaced with something like Pixel or Nova launcher.
2. If you decide on the Honor 8 then I will advise a case, but definitely get a clear one so you can still see the beautiful glass back
Since you can get this phone for less then when it first came out it's really a power house with practical features that make using this phone a dream.
As far as the lack of development... Unless you get a Nexus phone, nowadays there isn't much to gain from going to custom roms. You tend to lose features and functionality on phones like these when using custom. Truthfully, I believe the age of needing custom roms is coming to an end because of this. Huawei is also an excellent manufacturer in which they seem intent on making sure their phones get updated properly.
I own a honor 8, and I am surprised that it beat S7, G5...etc in performance.
Plus when you set it on smart mode, the SOT is just crazy (7-8h usually). And it multitasks very well for me (some apps, chrome, youtube and a game) without reloading
I'd go for the Honor 8 as the HiSIlicon Kirin 950 SOC used in it, is a very powerfull SOC.
Hey.
I got an Honor 8 without looking at all the specs (I got offered it on a good contract)
Since I got it I had fallen in love with it.
I'm on the UK beta N programme and it's the first phone I have ever had that I hadn't rooted and put custom ROMs into.
I have found that with the options for using themes and fonts that I can customise it as much as i want and the EMUI 5 is nothing like the EMUI 4 (IOS)
The battery life ain't what I thought it was gonna be but then it's still a beta program..
I know Honor have invested in a development scene both on XDA and MoDaco so they must be up for releasing thier source code.
I'm not sure about the specs for gaming etc but I would say that it's a great phone.

Have you had played with both phones, who's better?! (Apart from ROM support)
Aside from 3D gaming the Kirin 950 seems to be faster than the Snapdragon 820 at basically everything...

Yes, youtube videos proved it. Plus I've put my honor 8 against a LG G5 and S7 edge, both were slower than my honor 8
I know it looks like this question has been asked before, but most of the answers revolve around OnePlus 3T being cheaper. But for some reason they cost the same in my country. so i want to know which one you'd choose if they were the same price.
I would really like to have the bigger screen of Mate 9, but I've heard that Huawei phones are not durable and will have lower performance after a while. is this true? this is a very important factor for me because i wont be able to buy another phone anytime soon, so i'll have to do with it for a time (preferably more than 2 years!).
Thank you ladies an gentlemen in advance for all your wise advice!

Are you kidding me about Huawei durability? Also, lower performance? After a while??? Bro, I don't think you are talking about the Mate 9. https://youtu.be/-x7s_amjJso
The only thing OP3T has over the Mate 9 to me is development (custom ROMs) cos of the Qualcomm SoC, Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 960 is a beast but lacks outside support.
Being a security enthusiast, I want to have things like Kali Linux installed which I unfortunately can't.
Other than this reason, it's a smack down by Mate 9 over OP3T in every department (I don't care about OLED screens, this is just fine).

Thank you my friend. As i said, this is just something I've heard people say, and people who have only had mid-range Huawei phones. I am glad to hear that this is not the case with Mate 9. I'm not too worried about my security, and if the UI is fine (and it seems to be), i have no problem with not being able to install custom ROMs.
Thank you for helping me decide!
I had the OnePlus 3 not the 3t and I made the switch to the mate 9 and I have no regrets. The mate 9 is a super phone. The OnePlus is for ppl who likes to flash roms and I tried them all until I eventually got tired because it's more of the same. I love the battery on the mate 9! It all depends on what the user wants.
I switched from oneplus 3t.
Bigger screen, bigger battery, camera is way better. Custom ROMS? I`m fine with mate 9 rooted debloated stock
No I definetely dont regret about my oneplus 3t
Mate 9 easily. Bigger screen, bigger battery, faster charge, micro SD support. I've had both.
3T IS faster with 6 GB ram ( Comparitively I have 6GB Chinese model rebranded to USA of mate 9) but Battery life on 3T stinks compared to mate 9.
I think Mate 9 is still better than the last Oneplus 5.

I have had the mate 9 for almost 3 months. I came from a LG G4 and it is a beast. I almost bought an op3t but the battery life and not overheating made me buy this phone. For me that was a must even playing high demanding games it runs cold.
Coming from an OP3, first I wanted to go back to my OP3, but gave the Mate 9 a chance.
After using the M9 for a week I couldn't go back...

I went from the mate 9 to theOnePlus 3T via the G6 and the GS8. Put it this way: if the mate 9 had wifi calling (Tmobile), I would have never gotten any of the other phones I list. It's that good.
I came to the Mate 9 from the OnePlus 5, and the only thing I miss is the front-facing fingerprint sensor
Hi,
I've been looking at a number of (cheap) options for a new smartphone. I've found the following and am unsure which would be a better choice:
- Oneplus 3t (refurbished) vs Moto G6 vs Huawei P20 lite vs Honor 10 lite (these are all similarly priced)
So my dilemma: is it better to go with an older higher spec phone or a new budget option?
Any advice would be appreciated,
Thanks!

I would choose the One Plus or the Moto device, I would avoid ALL Huawei devices, they are all Chinese junk and the Honor devices are not that great either, the Huawei and Honor devices use substandard hardware.

Hi guys.
I'm planning of buying this phone (I have an Honor 8, great phone, but its very broken so it's time to say goodbye).
I've been watching reviews and stuff for this phone and looks very good but i have some questions.
(Instagram): Does the effects work?
My honor 8 has lag when trying to follow up my face and I think that the Realme and Honor 8 dosen't have that much difference hardware wise. (I'm not that expert)
Is it a good deal changing my Honor 8 to a Realme 5 or should i buy another one? (Budget 200€)
