Did really worth replace Honor 6 for Honor 6 Plus?

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.?

how does The Honor 8 stands against this ??

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

Quick questions

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€)

Which phone?

I currently have a Huawei p20 pro and love it but due an upgrade and planning on getting a new phone and passing the old one on to family. I love the p20 pro so tempted by the p30 pro as still has google play but concerned lack of google support may be a problem in future. Can get the oppo find x2 neo for similar price.
What are people's opinions? Battery life and camera both important for me.

Question Huawei P50 PRO where to buy?

Hey,
Do You know when and in what online shops will be available to buy? I'm waiting for European premiere, but if it will be online - i can buy from China.
Greetings

From what I read it will be available starting August 12th. Most likely only for China, and the global variant should be released some time later.
I'll wait a couple weeks for user reviews, mainly to find out whether it's possible to install Google services on HarmonyOS. Apparently it's possible on CHINESE variants of the Mate 40, with the Lzplay app (or whatever it's called). For global variants, gotta use GSpace which is not ideal.
EDIT: pre-order available on aliexpress HERE. Price is a bit high though.

Hello. Any news about Chinese variant and harmonyos running or not Google? I'm crazy about this phone.

Tradingshenzhen is selling som devices right now

Are you saying that with the mate if you wanted google you were better off with the Chinese version? i see the Chinese version is available but was afraid to buy it for compatibility in the usa

Hi.
I live in Sanya, China.
I recently bought 2 Huawei P50 Pros here to send to my friends in Russia and while testing them, I got quite disappointed. I even made a short review on my youtube channel (Mark Victorson).
They're overheating crazily, and in general, while cameras are the only reason one might want a Huawei phone, the video performance is seriously underwhelming.
And I don't recommend getting the China version with Kirin.
Wait for the global release. Or PM me if you can't live without the phone, I'll give you contacts of ppl who can buy and send the phone from China

it looks like the wait in our country will be a long one, the right decision if you want to submit it online.

1. Harmony os - hopefully the global version will have full fledged android 11 not the piece of android 10 they call a new os
2. Camera is underwhelming. Omnivision sensors are inferior to Sony. The quality and color science difference between the wide, main and tele lens are not in sync - shooting with all three makes you feel like you shoot on three different devices, so great the difference is. Video is still 30mbps in 4k...srsly? SONY gives 85!
3. Heat dissipation on Kirin is terrible, it drops from 300gips to 100gips in 9 minutes of CPU throttling test.
Hopefully the global version with Snapdragon will result in a better experience.

Hi, what is the battery life like ? How does it compare with the honor magic 3 pro plus? Are the cameras better on the p50 pro or on honor magic 3 pro plus? Which of the 2 devices would you recommend for overall everyday use (camera, speed, battery life, Heating). You mentioned the p50 pro gets hot, is that the same with the honor magic 3 pro plus?

Mate40 pro is not a better choice ??

Overall I'd recommend honor. It shoots better videos, its screen is better, it never heats up, its face id works in darkness. The only downside - it's a step behind p50pro in photography. Battery life is not bad on the both, but I can't say anything particular because i only had the devices for a week, and then sent them to Russia.

I appreciate that response thanks bro !

Lol wow. I have the phone, it's typical huawei goodness.
Hot? Not at all, it's same as any other normal phone concerning heat, camera is excellent! As expected, slightly better than by mate x2 camera which was also great. P50 pro ain't seen as the best phone camera right now for nothing.
Battery life again is typically great! It's a small battery, 4360 I believe, but it's roughly 8+ hours on screen time for a complete full charge.
I'm amazed at these statements

How much did you pay for it?
I've been told that photos are excellent but video recording is underwhelming, can you confirm?
Is there a 90hz option or only 60hz/120hz?
How many updates have you received so far ?
Does that 8 hours sot involve gaming or just normal usage?
How much battery do you lose overnight/idle?
8 hours is decent SOT, but I'm used to my 14 hours on the Rog 5 unfortunately there's no reviews on the p50 pro so I'm still undecided.

Paid about £870 from Alibaba
Pics are the best, full stop! Videos are good, iPhone still king
No it's only 60hz or 120hz dynamic. No 90hz
I think its been about 2 updates since I bought
It's 8 hours very conservative. Uses about 10% per hour
Losses about 3% overnight

Thank you again for the info !
I've just had a look online & it's looking likely that Huawei will launch the Mate 50 pro on October 21st
I'll wait for that if they don't end up releasing the mate 50 pro I'll just buy the p50 pro, prices will be lower too. I was hoping for the p50 pro plus version but doubt that will ever come out

You might as well wait the mate 50 Pro. Probably coming around the same time
