I'm a big phone junkie. Would like to try various phones. Used bb10 for a long time and since then I've tried many android phones before settling down on the new BlackBerry dtek50. Big fan of BlackBerry android features such as hub, productivity tab, swipe up short cuts etc.
Is it worth getting the honor 8 in my case? Not a big gamer - heavy business's user with phone, email, text and browsing. I'll probably miss the BlackBerry features a lot. But reviews for this phone is pretty good. Would u guys recommend this?

Go to best buy if you can and try one out. The UI is not the best the phone hardware is amazing though...

I would love to. But I'm in canada and no one carries this phone for a demo.
The emui 5 update is supposed to be a lot better than the current one. Not sure whether i can update the honor8 with that yet. The websites say its available only for UK users.
It will update on Honor 8 at some point

If you have High priority for your camera, then you can go for Honor 8. Else OP3T will be good.

Im not a big fan of big phones. 5.5" is too big for me. Max is 5.2-5.3"

I am going from a Nexus 6p to this phone. After it updates with the latest FW its actually not a bad device. A lot of reviewers highlight problems that are now fixed such as the backlight and a few interface glitches. The audio is not as good as my 6p headphone wise but it is live withable. I am thinking if I root it and see if viper audio loads it may fix that issue. The fingerprint reader works faster then on my n6p however it does have to be more on the reader (my 6p would unlock if I had half my finger on the sensor) but also acts as a button and swipe commands.

This is purely speculation, but I'd guess they'll roll out EMUI 5/Nougat for everyone in a month or two. The US closed beta has already started and I really like the changes. There's one going on in India and China as well.
My biggest reservation when picking up the phone a little under two months ago was the software. Reviews made EMUI 4.1 sound like the worst thing ever. I wasn't a huge fan of the task switcher which scrolls horizontally and shows the recently run apps as unstacked screenshots with a tendency (for me at least) to overscroll when I just wanted to move one to the left or right, but it worked well enough. The notification shade is also split between a left tab with notifications and a right tab with settings. You can swipe left or right on the opened shade to go between the two and there's an option to pick which you want to access by which side of the top of the screen you swipe down from. But I have tiny, Trump-like hands, so I use the swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to access it usually. Accessing it that way will open it to the left tab with notifications if you have any currently, but defaults to the right quick toggle options for WiFi, NFC, flashlight/torch, etc if you do not. I don't think it was the best way to set that up, but I pretty quickly got used to it.
You also have to manually whitelist apps you want to have continue running when the screen is turned off and enable notifications to show up on the lock screen. The average person might have trouble with this, but I'd think most people reading this forum either figured it out for themselves or you can just post here and ask how to do it (there's already a couple threads on it).
If you do pick up an Honor 8 I'd recommend a case and screen protector as I find it rather slippery without one.
As was previously suggested I'd try the phone out in Best Buy and see if you like it. Now's a good time to buy one if you do as there's a bunch of sales going on. Overall, I really like the phone and the EMUI 5 update has made it even better.

emui5 does look promising
Agree with the UI not being the best but the software is amazing, the screen is sharp and the dual cameras are superb. EMUI's gestures are really useful too.
So it got announced this morning and it looks like HTC spent all their research budget on cameras!
The only differences i can see
1) dual back and front cameras
2) snapdragon 845
And thats it!
Interestingly still on android 8.0 but they have promised an Android P upgrade, so anyone holding out for 8.1 update i doubt that is coming to either phone.
Cant see any reason for any u11+ owner to upgrade, smaller battery and tiny upgrades.

Who would want to Upgrade to/Buy another HTC device after their lawsy software updates!
Man HTC and SONY are running themselves to the grave. I mean the formula for success is very simple if they just simply stick with it:
Great Hardware+Great Software Support+Listen to Customers+Phone Availability in Markets+Great Pricing=Success!

Slow down Dj Moha !, doesnt matter what we do with our phone's, because we pay lot's money for it and we only want a decent support an updates, even just we use the phone for play or hit to someone in the head with it! That is our problem, if you dont want to claim right service its your problem and dont come to give us lesson's about how to use our phones
I'm not going to ditch a 3 months old great phone for a very similar one, that's for sure: I just hope U12+ ROMs or at least software features (see edge sense 2 or HDR10 support, in example, or Android P should HTC forget about us) will be easily ported to our devices by HTC itself or by some kind XDA developer, both being so similar spec-wise.

Please use a better translator, because I can't understand what you are saying. By the way how is age relevant here being a kid or a grown man doesn't matter, from your writing standards it seems you are indeed a "small kid" .
When you are paying a flagship price you should expect a flagship device treatment at the least!
I don't want to argue further because it's a waste of my time, what I stated earlier are valid points so unless you have something to counter those points I suggest you move on. If you don't understand why updates are needed then I am sorry there is nothing further I can say to change your mind.
Personally when i brought the u11+ i knew htc wouldnt be as good as other providers. They did just sell half their already cut down phone team to google. Its a matter of resource. If HTC have thrown all their software team into android 9 and the cost of android 8.1 that is fine by me. Assuming 9 comes out at a decent time compared to other providers.
Let's hope HTC will keep their good track at releasing major updates for flagship phones then!

That's a good thing IMO, since I bought the U11+ for the great cameras.
Hope HTC keeps up with their good work building practical and high quality phones. I am looking forward to changing to another HTC flagship next year.
Panel of u12+ is very close to u11+.

Dj ignorance, you seriously have issues.
Ignore this guy, his people feed on anger, ignorance and useless online fights to feel manly.
HTC proved they can make the best hardware hands down the U11 PLUS is amazing but, Not getting any updates while even note Fe and s7 from almost 3 years for example gets the latest Samsung experience is really frustrating

Hi guys, since I don't have an U11/U11+, to be honest I never even had a HTC, I'm pretty interested in this device. How is the bootloader unlocking procedure with HTC devices? Is there just the official method through HTCdev or is there any other unofficial method (exploits)? Last time I fiddled with custom ROMs was with my Nexus 5. I had some tries with an Axon 7, that resulted in two RMA trips. I'm about to renew my contract and want a new device. Right now I'm between S9+, OP6 and U12+.

What about warranty? I read somewhere that, here in Europe, they cannot deny me warranty service when it's software related. Is it true?
The main issue holding me from buying a S9+ in that pesky knox e-fuse! As long as I can roll back to factory configuration without flags for me is essential!
P.s.: Thanks for the reply

If you have problems, even with unlocked bootloader, which has nothing to do with unlocking/rooting/modifying, then it should be no problem.
Warranty is no problem here, at least not in Germany

What worries me is that it's needed to register to HTCdev to unlock the bootloader, right? And they could use this information to deny warranty services
Hi,
I am thinking to get a used xzp or an xz1. I don't care much between their sizes but I do care for camera updates/features (and os updates). Which one would you go with?
Thanks!
If you care about software, then go for the XZ1. It has Treble, it has display flash and a new Dialer UI. The camera performance is the same as with the XZ P.
The XZP is a bigger phone and has a 4K HDR display. If you care about that then go XZP.
I think xz1 is appropriate.Xz1 is born with Oreo(8),but Xzp is born with Nougat(7).According to reliable news,Sony smartphone can update two system version,so xz1 can update to Android 10,but xzp can only update to Android 9, despite they have same CPU.
Forgive my grammar mistakes, after all, I'm a senior middle school student in China.

I would never look at that. When the official support is over, you root the phone and install custom Firmware.
I have Xperia V, which was released with 4.0 and got updated to 4.3, I own an Xperia ZR that began its path with 4.1 and ended on 5.0, and today both devices happily run 7.1.2.
You're on XDA DEVELOPERS FORUM, what the hell are you talking about, buying a different device instead of the one you want, because it's going to have 6 months less support? :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I agree, most people on the Sony forums on xda has "poor" English. Mostly because Sony phones are more popular in Asia and EU than they are in the US. So the majority of Sony users are not native English speakers.

Get the XZ Premium. I'm a happy XZP user and i would recommed it to anyone looking to upgrade to a good Oreo phone. It might not get the "P" android update but it is a reliable phone, it does take good picture and 2 days battery( 4g/h+ or wifi always on, 2+ hours of music and video streaming per day, social networking, internet browsing, but no games). Only thing i wish it was louder: speakers volume. I never tried the XZ1 but just like you i had to choose betwwen the two and you know what i picked.

100% agreed here go for XZP.. .... thing is OP Youll find almost all phones nowadays are 2 years OS updates, 3 yrs security, including Google due to the fact that alot of people, at one time, tended to change their phones every year..
However, now-a-days in 2017 and more-so now in 2018... more and more people are holding onto their older devices, due to flagships being far too expensive (iPhone X, Galaxy Note 9, Xperia XZ2Prem..etc) and the so-called "Updates and New Flagships" features are so small and incremental.. that the huge prices dont justify these "little" upgrades...
Ive just come back to SONY after a break, with a Pre-owned, yet BNIB XZP... and while the camera is a little quirky and requires some tinkering to get the best out of it (I found using the hardware camera shutter button on the XZP caused camera shake and focus issues on images.. no matter how steady I held it, but pressing the "Virtual" shutter button on screen produced much better results.. )... Its a fantastic device.. still getting 6 weekly - 2 Monthly updates, great screen, Speakers are excellent and much louder now on Oreo than they were under 7 Nougart.. although could be even louder, 3.5mm Jack.. battery life is good..
And we will "eventually", get Android P...

Hi,
I already got the Xperia xz almost new for 250$ CDN.
The main reason is that xz is dowmgradeable to 6 (for drm keys backup)
Android P is okay but based on what I was reading in the past it was only a possibility for the XZP..
Battery wise Android 6 is way better though but for now I'm enjoying 8.
Thx

Good to hear you got sorted... The xz is a great device, I know it's still being updated like the premium... i don't really go for downgrading or custom ROMs myself though, and the screen is a little on the small side for me...

Seems unlikely, as there isn't any formal nod that XZ range are getting 8.1 yet.
Maybe end of the year
I got my update notification today
It only depends if Sony decides to skip 8.1 or not.
XZP is entitled for one more version upgrade if I'm not mistaken, either 8.1 or 9.
But since they didn't release 8.1 for any model yet, maybe they skip it and go for the 9 instead, which would be nice. 8.1 really isn't much of an upgrade, anyways, it does seem pointless to spend dev time and resources into pushing it.
I'm happy with Oreo as it is, but I would like if we got the new launcher they are developong for P, and see how they handle gesture navigation. Removing the bottom navigation bar would give us more screen realestate, but somehow I doubt they will do that for older devices, even with new launcher. Not to mention getting the latest Camera apk and API, XZP and XZ1 can handle the processing used in XZ2 lineup, it's just a matter of software.
8.1 is already released in march security update. Thats why xposed framework bugs out
XZ premium will get android p. Xperia z3 had 4.4, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, nougat test
XZ p only had 7.1, 8.0
P also support 120hz by standard so can't wait

I prefer they give us more screen realestate with a larger screen in the next one rather than smaller bezels and a notch. I can't rap my head around some of the stupidest things being pushed into the industry that none of their customers asked for. Seeing the XZ2 Premium though, I don't think they are going to be making many more phones.

If so that's gonna be awesome as heck. That's gonna be amazing cus I've wanted this feature. Like the xz2p has 144hz tho that's alot on a phone. If we get to experience 120hz on this phone though that makes it more worthy.
Hi.
I just read this news. It's coming in September. It will be rolling to many devices and xz premium from them.
It is coming soon
Now android p is a part of sony open devices program and you can build android p for open devices.
This is edited : Android Pie will be available on September for Xperia XZ premium ; XZ1 compact ; XZ1 ; XZ2 premium ; XZ2 compact and XZ2
The rollout of Pie will begin in September for listed devices and will continue till November/December, so I doubt the XZP (the oldest on the list) will get it in September.
That being said, it's getting it either way which is really great.
Couple of things I would like from this upgrade: ditching the navigation buttons at the bottom for more usable screen realestate, updated camera app and processing algorythms from XZ2 and the new launcher Sony is working on, but I don't think they planned it for Pie release.
Also, one thing that boggled my mind since the phone was released, not giving us the option to lower the framerate of super slowmo videos so you could actually use that thing. Capturing at the right moment at 960FPS for a second is next to impossible. Great feature, backed by smart powerfull hardware, botched by software. There is no legit reason why I shouldn't be able to lower the framerate to let's say 450FPS and still make some badass slowmo shots. If it can do 960, it can do less for a longer time, but nobody at Sony thought of that simple thing. Pretty much business as usual with Sony's camera apps.

Is it possible Nokia developing on Gcam port? Who knows...
i dont think Google is going to give its precious algorithm to other manufacturers. It would be a disaster for sales on new Pixel 3a/XL.
But HDR+ is mentioned on this article HERE so its pretty much going that way. How good it will be, we wait and see.
You can read why the APK crashed on N7+ in the article, libs are missing.

i dont think Google is going to give its precious algorithm to other manufacturers. It would be a disaster for sales on new Pixel 3a/XL.
But HDR+ is mentioned on this article HERE so its pretty much going that way. How good it will be, we wait and see.

I'm sure Google won't just give algorithms because that's what makes Pixel a "Pixel". Same with Google Camera, it's their own branding so technically Nokia can't just modify a port and sell phones with it. Sure it's open source that's why devs can modify them, but there's just a lot of tech going on there. HDR+ though has been used in other phones already (Zenfone 6, I think?), so let's see where Nokia is going with this.
My highest hopes, though, are on camera quality fixes especially with the current awful white balance. P3 AWB mod of GCam is the closest workaround, but it'll be nice if the device camera module or driver (or whatever) itself gets corrected.
