I've been testing the two on my S7 but I just can't really figure out which one's faster or better. I've noticed some great features on Nougat but opening and closing apps tend to be slow on Nougat whilst on Marshmallow, it handles it well. There are a few minor lags on Nougat that I don't really see on Marshmallow. I don't know, what are your thoughts? I just think Marshmallow is a little bit quicker in terms of performance rather than Nougat.
p.s Does the battery life get affected?
For me nougat is best but.... don't forget it is a recent realese.... isn't a refined version like marshmallow!

I actually flashed back to MM today after running Nougat since the first beta > Final & first update
I'd been looking through some photos I took running MM vs ones I'd taken with Nougat and thought the MM looked way better
Went out today with MM and took a load of photos, and tbh now I can't see any difference betweeen MM and N in terms of photo quality (Haven't tried low light / night shots yet)
In terms of the OS itself, it seems a small but noticeable step backwards in terms of overall experience, little things like fingerprint unlock not being as reliable or quick with MM
The UI seems to take that little bit longer to respond with MM too, a slight hesitation after opening say the Play Store before it opens, where with Nougat it is pretty much instant
Only very small things, but together they make Nougat the better experience, and if low light/night shots with MM don't seem any better than N, I`ll be flashing back to Nougat soon
Few more things to try out, but for me at least, Nougat is the better choice
Nougat is coming along nicely but MM is still my go to. Xposed is too convenient to lose, and camera quality varies on the Nougat ROMs.

Can anyone bring back the camera quality settings from kitkat in lollipop?Because it's far better than lollipop .182
Sorry don't agree there not since the updated 18.6.A.0.182 firmware was released. I've seen some pretty good images taken with the updated camera files.
I accept. It's good. But I little disappointed after I compared with kitkat camera. Pixels are pretty
Before the nougat upgrade a quick change to performance mode and the screen always stayed the same. Now with 5.0 I can't change the modes and chrome and Gmail auto dim when opened.
And no I don't use auto brightness. Any help?
Solutions not exist. The only option is to go back to Android 6.
Use another launcher.
It does not work!!!
This is so freaking annoying indeed, I hate the change.
Honor 8 just kinda disappoints me more and more, and with no more update life on the device I feel it is kinda dead already.
Will be moving on to another phone when I see something interesting for sure.
The Honor 8 has a huge amount of bugs, and the fact that it's been months and they haven't even addressed them pretty much means they don't give a damn.
Definitely my last Huawei device. And as someone who is in a position to advise others, I will make sure they don't buy any either.
FRD-L04 here. I was kind of expecting to get at least a year of security updates. B360 is still the latest version available with the security patch from December. I really like the performance of the Kirin SoC and the Kirin 960 with the Bifrost GPU looks like it fixes the weak 3D performance (not that that is particularly important to me, but it's nice to have), but I'm not going to buy a new phone every 6 months to have up to date software.
I've heard numerous complains about Nougat update for S7E and its camera capabilities after. Heard that generally the camera is worse - there is more shaking, autofocus is much worse (especially in [email protected] mode) and a bit more noise. Overall not good.
I found some issues too, isn't this made on purpose? Perhaps now all testers would say that camera in S8 is better than worsened S7 version?
Here is YT video, I do not agree with all in it though: https://youtu.be/r1w5GfE_CNg
Nothing noticable noise for me, not even in dark. just like on MM. I'm not really using video recording, so that I can't tell the difference, but in taking pictures.. it's just still the best. (Android 7.0 on Exynos variant)
Yeah, the biggest difference is supposedly by the video. I still cannot judge it's true or not in this case.
Hello.
So i have a chance to trade my used s7 edge for a used mate 9. I'm a bit bored with my s7 edge and looking for a new experience.
Will I regret it?? Anyone did this move?! Any recommendations?! Real life experiences?!
Thx.
I'm coming from S7, so I can share a bit of experience. Battery life not much an improvement ~4-6 hours SOT, depending on your usage scenario, games and videos tend to suck more battery than other phones (this is specific to Kirin SOC's). Speed and smoothness are still the same since the beginning , maybe improved through updates, it's not stellar but still one of the bests, in top 5 for speed for sure. Definitely better than S7 for speed matters. Dual camera is a nice feature to have, overall camera is good, but not execellent (much better than Oneplus 3T, which I've experienced). Coming from an S7 the low light will disappoint you a little particularly on moving subjects. One thing that should make you think twice is that updates come-out very slow on Huawei. Other than that everything is fine, maybe less errors and glitches that I've experienced on Samsung and the big screen experience is not matched by any other phone.
Hi, I'm currently using a S8 plus. I'm thinking off upgrading to the S10e. Has anyone who currently owns this device confirm if the S10e is a good upgrade from the S8 plus? Is battery much better? Is camera significantly better etc etc?
Any help and feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

Did exactly that while also having the S9 for a week. S8->S9 is a slight upgrade. Camera is a bit better, speakers and stereo-sound is a nice upgrade and it is slightly snappier. The One UI 2 Upgrade also brings much better RAM Management and Apps in the background close less often and the new Fingerprint location is easier to reach. Battery seemed slightly better but the S8 was also older and so might not have had its full capacity in comparison.
S8/S9->S10e is a much bigger upgrade. Camera is leagues ahead and the extra wide angle gives you so much more room to play with. Snappiness again increased and you absolutely feel the 2GB more RAM throughout the day (No closed Apps in the background). Battery seems the same in my use case to the S9. The speakers feels to be a downgrade from the S9 tho as they start crackling when on (near) full volume while the S9 speaker seemed better tuned. The new fingerprint sensor in the power button is also nice to have as i often want to take a glance while the phone is lying on the table. Missed the function to unlock without having to pick the phone up since i left my S7 behind.
All in all the S10e is a distinct upgrade over the S8. If anyone reading this got an S9, then its mostly the camera and maybe the extra RAM depending on your use case. It won't feel as a big upgrade if your already running One UI 2 and don't have Apps closing on you or want the latest camera tech.
With GCAM (look for Zexynos) the S8 and S9 look the same btw and easily crush the S10(e) in many cases.
All the above is for the Exynos variants. With Snapdragon speed increases could be bigger but battery differences could be lower.
Sorry but my opinion after upgrading from an S8 to S10 is don't do it.
I have found the camera on the 10e to be worse in every way from the S8.
My wife usually takes my old phone each time i upgrade but she has already told me she does not want this one when i change and i may decide to get rid of it early even though i only got it in September 19.
In daylight, the camera is fine but as soon as you move in doors to artificial or low light, it is woeful.
If you zoom in the pictures are full of noise and they look fake, i have pictures where skin has large chunks looking waxy or plastic, way too over processed.
If you look at Samsungs own forum for S10/S10E you will find loads of posts all around the same issues.
What makes it more annoying is the adverts and initial reviews stated the camera was professional quality yet a recent write up i seen about the soon to be released S11 was that it aimed to improve on the S10 camera which was inferior to the Pixel 3.
Other features of phone are decent but the S8 is also a very capable phone.
My own intention for the future is to move away from Samsung despite being with them since the S2 as it is the first time i have felt the new phone is inferior to the previous one.
Good luck with whatever you decide to go with.
Thanks for the replies. In all honesty I'd prefer to get the S10+ but it seems to be quite expensive still. I was thinking towards the S10e instead since it's cheaper but might hold out for something else.
