Hey Guys, i love the mate 8 - even when the software is not the best....
This Phone is on my side now for 2 Years - the battery isnt the best anymore - and im a dude who wants a new phone after 2-3 years...
But now - i have a problem and i guess some of you have the same one...
The Mate 8 has a PERFECT size! i love this phone because of his demensions. (157,1 x 80,6 x 7,9 mm)
it could be even larger for me on the 157mm side so maybe 170,175 maybe. But its great how it is.
So since i have decided to go with a new phone - i buyd some new phones in my search for the perfect replacment - they had all one in common. SIZE!
they are all on the 75mm - 74mm size.
What brings me to the next point: Mate 10... i preorded this beauty and today i canceld it. Its demension are the same like the phones i had buyd.
THIS IS ****ING small compared to the mate 8 ( i dont talk about screensize)
I have kinda big hands and i love to type with both. The mate 8 was the perfect phone.
So if someone knows a phone a new phone with great specs and framless display - please mentention it here.
One phone i really liked what i orded was the Mi mix 2. Looks great! Camera is **** but i dont care about camera - but the demensions was like every else phone - 6mm to small.
Cheers guys

ha i was thinking the same thing these past few weeks. im gonna keep my mate 8 for a while longer, but im already starting to look out for a potential successor. the candidates i came up with:
- samsung note 8: nice design and size, but battery is WAY too small (smaller than S8+!), so battery life isnt what i want. plus, its samsung...
- mi mix 2: the mi mix 1 was gorgeous, especially cuz of its huge screen, small bezels and large battery! so WHY in gods name did they make it SMALLER now, both in screen size AND battery capacity? no option for me...
- mate 10: so far the best high-end option, but the mate 10 regular only feels like a "side-grade" with 4gb ram, whereas the mate 10 pro looks awesome, BUT: 18:9 screen ratio means 6" screen is actually smaller than mate 8 6" screen at 16:9 ratio. also, NO sd card! and NO HEADPHONE JACK! wtf?! big no gos, especially at that price range...
soooo i said to myself: whats really important to me? big screen definitely, also big battery for longlasting experience. do i need a monster gpu? nope, i dont play games on my phone. what about cpu? always nice to have a fast one, but hey: i have kept the kirin 950 in my mate 8 on powersave governor since i got it, so...how much cpu performance do i REALLY need in everyday operation?
so i checked a different/lower hardware range, but put more focus on large screen and large battery!
what i found was: the xiaomi mi max 2
- 6.44 inch screen at 16:9 ratio - gargantuan! and at FullHD totally acceptable for my purposes (i dont tend to watch my phone screen from 1cm away just to see if i can actually see the pixels, so dont come arguing that 2k is "better", cuz its not!)
- 5300 mAh battery (yep youre reading correctly!)
- headphone jack + hybrid sdcard slot for optional dual sim (like mate 8)
- comes with snapdragon 625 (i know, its "only" midrange, but octacore and is VERY energy efficient, so even better for battery life!)
- fingerprint reader and actually a nice design (at least the black versions, i hate golden phones *ugh*)
the best thing about it is the price: it comes in 64 and 128gb flavour priced at 240 and 280€, respectively.
so yeah, if i were to get a new phone right now, it would most likely be that humongous mi max 2 beast otherwise, wait for upcoming highend phones next year...
just my 2 cents
cheers!

yes that combo would be awesome @mi mix 2 with size of mi max 2
of course, when u have then side by side ure way too distracted by the design of the mi mix 2 to bother with the mi max 2 so have u tried the mi max 2 or just checked it out in the shop? whats your feedback on it?

i buyd the mi mix 2 & the mi max 2. The mi mix 2 got my wife the mi max 2 got a friend of us.
There are a few personal things i dont like about the max:
hardbuttons
big cornerbars (top & down) - espascilly with the mi mix 2 right by his side.
camera is ****ty (i dont care about that - but even the mi mix 2 was better)
what to consider: THIS IS A 200€ smartphone! so its still a great choice - but nothing against the the mi mix or mate 8!
Oh and both had MIUI 8.0... and okey i had to flash with the global rom to get the german version but even there sometimes you get some chinese.
btw. i just saw today that the Mate10 LITE has a SD-Card slot.... SAY WHAT?... i dont understand how they can remove the feature in the pro version....

not only that, but the mate 10 (not pro, not lite, regular mate 10, not available in germany) also has both an sd card slot and a headphone jack
concerning the rest:
- i dont mind hard buttons, because this means more space on the actual display
- sure, compared to the mi mix 2 even the mate 8 has huge bezels
- dont care about camera
- as for MIUI: xda section for the mi max 2 already has a fully functioning lineage rom, so no need to stick to miui
and yes, all that for less than 300€ is just impressive

OH! Really? How do you like it?
as i said, it didnt wanted the mate 10 pro but maybe you remember that i send my phone in because of the Display issue.
And what can i say? They replaced my mate 8 with this beauty... it was brand new and for 0€ im okey with that phone

wait, what? u got a mate 10 pro in warranty exchange for your mate 8? what the heck kinda deal is that?! hahaha in that case i wouldnt have looked a gift horse in his mouth either
i absolutely LOVE the mi max 2! ive been running lineage os 14.1 custom rom since day one on it and super happy with it. on average, i get around 3 days runtime with approximately 18.5 hours SOT (yep, this is NOT a typo, its correct! ) display is huge and vibrant, love the colors and the feel of it. plus, ive gotten used to the size of this phone pretty fast, so no problem on that front
the mi max 3 is supposed to be even MORE awesome, with 7 inch 18:9 display (to counteract the smaller display area due to the 18:9 display ratio compared to the 16:9 6.44 inch mi max 2 i guess), add to that 5500 mAh battery and more performance via updated SOC and it should be something to keep an eye out for, especially for mate 8 fans
Mi A2 comes with Stock Android and Mi Note 3 has MIUI based on Android.
Mi A2 has a faster LTE Modem and Note 3 has NFC.
Mi A2 bigger display and Mi Note 3 better battery backup.
Mi A2 Quick Charge 4.0 supported and Mi Note 3 comes with Premium Glass Body, Flagship Camera Setup with Stereo Speaker.
CPU & GPU are same.
So, which one you prefer?
note3
Mi A2 only because of support. Mi Note 3 is better device overall. Build quality as far as I know is better than Mi A2's.
**********Also Mi Note 3 supports 4.0 QC and that "faster LTE modem" since they have same SoC"
Mi Note 3 and Mi A2 supports qc4; wtf? Btw Mi A2 doesn't have qc3 charger in the box, the mi note 3 does...mi note 3 have better camera with ois
Better is mi Note 3, camera erc
Only plus is A2 is display, imo opinion better display. My wife has A2 and me note 3.
My brother has A2 mine is Note 3. Gaming on note 3 is far better than a2 for some reason. Maybe a2 is only 4GB Ram while Note 3 houses 6GB. Camera performance on A2 really good compare to note 3. But I will choose note 3
Hello!
Because my LG G3 is near death, I need to buy a new device as soon as possible and I'm looking for a notchless mi device (price range 300-330€).
I found a brand new mi mix 3 6/128 + mi band 3 for about 295€.
Do you think it is a good offer or better spend 330€ for a mi 9t 6/64?
The pros of mi mix 3 are a powerfull sd 845 and wireless charging with charger included but mi 9t has a bigger battery and fingerprint display module.
What device do you recommend?
mi mix 3 ofc
with the extra storage, it beats the 6/64 mi 9t even with the sd 855.
if ure going to use the phone for gaming or multitasking wise, then opt for the mi 9t. Aside from that, mi mix 3 is a good daily driver for the next 2 years
I would get the mi 9t because of the better battery

Mix 3 is better than the mi 9t, it's just a lot heavier.
Mi 9t pro will be better than the mix 3 but will you notice the difference? Probably not, just the weight
you mean mi 9t snap 730 version?

Yep✌
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 still only has the April security update. It is looking more and more like the phone has been abandoned.
The lesson I'm learning here is to avoid Xiaomi in the future.
So back to OnePlus

Nonsense, it will be supported for many years like most of the Xiaomi phones
Nobody is adressing the fact that the 9T Pro uses motors to push it's camera out. I don't know what the long term affects and wear-and-tear of these new mechanisms is, but I'm more comfortable with a slider design than a mechanical part.
Hello.
I am using Galaxy S7 Edge from past 3 years and i am quite satisfied with it no complaints. But now it is old not getting any updates and battery are dying. I thought it is time to change the device rather changing the battery. So in my budget i am considering only two devices after a lot of researching, Xiaomi Mi 9T and Galaxy A70. I find both of these Head to Head specs wise, cameras are almost same displays are almost same but Samsung A70 has slightly lower Pixel Density. I minimum use my device for one year maybe two but not thinking about changing my new device for at least one year. I am getting confused in these two devices and not able to make decision for one. So please help me decide which one will be good for me.
Thanks
The battery for A70 is 4500 mAh while Mi 9T is 4000 mAh. But Mi 9T is good at its triple cameras.
And it is important that A70 is about 15% more expensive than Mi 9T. So, I recommend Mi 9T.

But what about software experience? Is MIUI good and mature as one ui ? Also want to know about the camera of Xiaomi Mi 9T. In MKBHD review camera was not good in low light and selfie camera was also bad.
Thanks
