oh gawd no! hardware is waaay worse on the mi max... only upsides are larger display and larger battery, but tbh, 6 inches is more handy than 6.44
also, camera quality has been improved on the new B321 firmware according to user reports notifications can be handled by proper settings and conversion of user apps into system apps, no problem there!

I did just that and I am happy with the switch. However as previous poster said the hardware is not quite as good but the software runs just as smooth and even smoother in Play Store for example. You can't really tell that much in everyday usage that the hardware inside is inferior. The build quality is not as good either but it's good enough.
All in all I'm more happy with the Mi Max. MIUI is much more polished than EMUI and looks much better and has way better theme support.
I have written a review about it. It's in Swedish but Google Translate should translate it good enough for you:

yeah do that if you are insane............ i got the max it was nice sold on the second day nowhere near in quality to the mate 8 .....

Only pro would be maybe more mature os.
Mate 8 is currently the best phablet that doesn't do anything perfect but everything good or above average.
Snapdragon 650 would be major step down.

So mate 8 or lg v10???soo confused any suggestions???

I wanna to buy new phone but I am really confused
I had p8max in was great
I had note 5 was great but much faster and smooth
Is mate 8 really fast and smooth ? Or lg v10 is faster ??
I need phone runs smooth like butter
I had the same two to choose from, I went with Mate 8.
However if you want a good camera, then you must go for the LG but i think the Mate is better in other aspects.

I looked at the LG V10 and the Mate 8 - I went for the Mate at as it has a better frequency range in the UK.
It is amazingly fast (coming from a one plus one) - Not having an apps folder is a little odd but ok
I have only found one actual problme so far - I can't figure out how NFC works!

Don't personally have it yet.
From friends and such my feedback is that it is bloody fast and smooth. CPU is also really good.
Gaming sometimes has some issues for some people but only on demanding games which im sure isnt device related but game related (works perfectly for others for all games)
Also the camera issue you mentioned has been improved already, still not great though, but rest assure they are trying very hard at the moment to get that fixed.

No worries, the main thing i'm sure you will join most of us in is waiting for a root confirmation.

Good mini smartphone 4.7-4.5 inch advice requested

Hi folks,
Recently my daughter crashed her Samsung Galaxy S4 mini phone. I started to look for some decent replacement. Decent I mean: 2GB RAM, at last quad core processor, memory card slot, Lollipop on board
Problem is that she has really small hand so the phone cant by big. After looking for few days I was very surprised, that there is almost no offer in this range - most producers moved to 5"-5.5" range.. I found only Samsung A3. Other mini phones were just rubbish.
Can you advice anything good ? Maybe I missed some phone ?
I know right, I have exactly the same problem. You may want to take a look at Jiayu G5 (if it's still available), or Xiaomi Redmi 2. Both have quad core processors, memory card slots, although no Lollipop. Xiaomi Redmi 2, depending on the version, has 2 GB RAM.
I heard great things about the Moto E as well, though that's really a budget phone (albeit not that much cheaper) with Lollipop, low MP camera (which she may deem important to know), but only 1 GB RAM.
That market is difficult.
Most important thing , what is your budget ?

It is on my short list. My wife has Redmi 3 and it is pretty good phone. Battery endurance is shocking.
But Redmi 2 i pretty wide: 67 mm while S4 mini was only 61 mm

She was usually able to kill battery in her previous Samsung galaxy s3 i9300 within 1 day. With Redmi 3 she was not able to go below 3 days. Usually lasts 4-5 days. .
She does not play but do heavy web browsing.

Yep. You get 8 core snapdragon with 4000mAh battery, decent built quality. I think it is currently the best deal for 5" phone worldwide.
Just have to root and get rid of chinese crap or load multilanguage developer rom.
It is no worse then my 5.5" Lenovo Vibe P1 costing over 100$ more.

The A3 is more than enough , she's just a girl so i guess she only uses social media apps and some light games , in my opinion the A3 is a pretty good deal.

Buy Mate 9 or 10 Lite

Greetings,
just need some help with buying. I can buy a Mate 9 for 469 Euros or a Mate 10 Lite for 349. What device should I choose?
Can you help ?
Thanks!
Robin
I have the same question in mind, which device?
Comparing these two awesome device, its difficult to pick one (setting aside the cost - of course)
If I may ask you, which one do you need, because for me, I need more the mate 9 rather than the mate 10 lite.
I have done a lot of comparison and mate 9 meets most of my needs in a phone.
Mate 9 for the 4000 mAh battery and Kirin 960 SoC.

Yes, the 4000 mAh battery is a key point.
id not give up my mate 9 for either one of the 10s.....
Check up the Honor 8 pro. Top notch spec with lower price compare to mate 9.

^^^ What he said ^^^
Those two specs make all the difference and makes me favor the Mate 9. If it's available to you, you can get awesome deals on mint-condition Mate 9 on Swappa. It may actually cost you less than a Mate 10 Lite.
You'll get 4x A73 cores vs the similarly clocked 4x A53 on the 10 Lite. While the latter is certainly no slouch, the A73 cores, id addition to software optimizations, are probably the main elements responsible for how the zippy the Mate 9 feels and behaves.
DIsclaimer: I haven't looked at comparison benchmarks or real world reviews pitting the 2 together

Honor Note 10 Pros:
- Black color
- Thinner
- microSD and no expensive Huawei NM card

Nice thanks
IMO this is an everything killer.
Best device on the market, hardware wise, by an absolute mile.
It is double the price of the HN10, though.
There's also the problem of continued bootloader unlock and development uncertainty for all Huawei / Honor devices.
personnally, I will order it and sell my Honor Note 10

If only we could have custom roms.
If it can't be rooted than whats the point.

ordered the 256gb/8gb
I'm probably going to get the 8GB/256GB since the claim is it does not support Micro SD cards, I rather the bigger internal storage, then have to buy Propriety memory (nano sd, only for huawei). Just waiting for the confirmation it works with AT&T and a out of box review.
Have anyone in here ordered the m20x yet and where... If.
I don't see many places where they sell it yet.
