Going to upgrade; Need some advice - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The OPO is getting old now, I've had my 3years worth and loved it despite the issues I've faced!
However it's time to upgrade (new job, more money )
I'm in the mix between ;
Pixel 1 XL - £400 (Really like this phone, although the age is putting me off SLIGHTLY due to not going to get many official updates)
Pixel 2 - £630 (Quite a bit expensive, will leave me quite skint but possibly worth it; I want this device the most)
LG G6 - £400ish? £500 with a floating LG speaker (I REALLY like this device, especially for the money but the skin and delay in updates will probably make me ill lol)
Oneplus 5 8GB ram - £450 (student discount) (obviously this looks like the no brainer but i KNOW the jelly effect will really get to me, in nearly every review of it on youtube i notice it when they scroll; no one can change my mind about this but I've added it to see if theres yet a fix for it? or is there going to be one? I havent seen anything about it?)
;
And these are the phones, can anybody steer me into the right way? I honestly cannot decide, and my mind hasnt been made so I'm not biased against any however I'm least keen about the OP5.

I wouldn't choose them sort of phones anyway mate due to the inconvenience such as; they'd be imported, wouldnt have good support if anything was to happen and the sites selling the xiaomis at least havent had the best reviews.
The phones i suggested i can buy in town without hesitation, even the Oneplus 5 due to being in the UK and o2 selling oneplus products
I just want something that works, is great all round and smooth. (and something i'm able to flaunt to ALL of my iPhone friends that claim Android is for 'tramps and emo geeks' hahah )

Well I was going to get the honor when it was just out as my dad asked if i wanted to get it off him and swap him for my opo with some money on top but the software is a big killer, possibly THEA worst android skin on a mainstream phone. The look, the feel and everything is clunky and pretty fairly disgusting.
I dont think theres any other phone on the market I'd have other than i've stated, I really like the Moto Z but I can't find it for sale in the UK (reasonably priced anyway), Also like Sony xperia phones but again, they're too expensive for what they are. The new HTC u11 is £600 so again, too expensive all considering.

What do you guys think of the MI-TWO?

What do you guys think of the MI-TWO? for only $313 dollars OFF contract, it's amazing, and 2gb ram+Qualcomm Snapdragon Pro Quad-core, its a bargain. what do you guys think?
I would like to order, but how? It is only available in china as I know.

I dunno, I think it's releasing in October, and I will sent someone to China to get it for me! Lucky me.
Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX
It looks really good. I have held off on getting a new phone since my contract expired as there is nothing out there that does everything I want, but this might just be the phone for me.
Quad-Core, large screen (+ high resolution), Add-on Micro SD-Card slot, looks like removable battery as well, so can upgrade to the 3000mAh one for longer life.
There has to be a catch somewhere ...
Looks freaking insane, but I dont like MIUI that much :/

Not only removable but from the article I read this morning the 3000mAh is going to cost you a whole 2mm in thickness.
This phone looks amazing, can't wait to see if it's obtainable in the US and if it gets any momentum going. I'd expect a lot of prepaid folks to give this a hard look for what looks to be the best bang for your buck ever.

Hate to say it but this phone will not get a big following anywhere outside of china for many reasons. Some being that these types of china knock offs tend not to have the hardware that is advertised, no real warranty outside of china, and normally don't run official android builds, nor have access to the market due to Google and china issues.
Might not be bad if they could get their act together but I don't see iit happening

One look at the phone and UI and you will see why that won't happen. They keep it in china due to the lack of copyright laws.

Well china does have copyright laws. It's either just not enforced at all or it favors companies in the country.
Also as a reply to your previous post, this company is supported by Qualcomm directly (or at least so I read on Engadget). And since it is running MIUI, it also has full access to the Play Store and will get updates since it just updates whenever MIUI gets updated. Warranty probably won't work but I tend to try to not damage my products and keep them safe. If there are manufacturing issues, well that's my fault for not researching the product more before I bought it.

Just because it has MIUI (which is not something I would brag about lol) doesn't mean it will have the market. If it looks good to you then by all means give it a shot. Good luck just don't expect it to find a home here.

*sigh, you definitely haven't used MIUI, or any product by Xiaomi. They are TRUSTED. Go ask those who uses the Mi-One, they are the most satisfied bunch of all smartphone Enthusiasts. Why? They don't get updates not every six months, but every Friday! And trust me, they DID NOT make up the hardware specs. Its either that you're racists towards Chinese companies, or just a unlucky customer who bought a fake product.
Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX
First off I am not racist to anything at all. I give everyone a fair shake. As for MIUI your right I have never used it and never will. I don't support what they did.
As for the hardware specs I am not aging they made them up. Just stating what many have seen with buying knock off devices. If this device hardware is legit cool and I am sure people will be happy with it.

Xiaomi MI-2 - kind of future for Android Smartphones- ...
All the hardware of the Xiaomi MI-2 is surprising, especially for the 1999 Yuan chinese price...
For sure, the lack of a memory card slot is annoying, but it is the choice of Google too, inside all the Nexus models.:angel:
Now if people could write an authentic JB ROM in order to replace the miui "iOS like" ROM, and if the international price could be really low, I would be inclined to replace my Nexus
Xiaomi 2
Xiaomi 2 is nice between my and my girl we have the last two previous models....her service provider in china will give the phone free when she signs a new contract and I will be trading her a JM phone for it.

Its diffrent for all people are you more of themer guy? Get a nexus 5 as the most roms , xposed works with it.
If you just look for a good quality go for HTC One M8
If you love taking pictures go with the Note 4.
etc.....
Yes, really strange to hear the s5 was lagging for you enough to get rid of it. As for the iphone 5s, what price are you referring to? The 6's are coming out in two days so the price is very fluid right now. Are we talking $200, $400? Since Samsung and LG are out for you, how do you feel about Google, HTC?
Always attempt to avoid Apple, their products are expensive and overrated for their performance and their iOS system is so extremely closed-source that you can't really do much effective tweaking at all.
Just my 2¢.

the s5 you speaking, is snapdragon version, and its even available in india, snapdragon s5 doesnt lag, i used it.. actually exynos version is fully crap, 90% apps are not optimized for crap exynos, those are using exynos(if they are not able to upgrade smartphone)then probably they will always say exynos better, but i bet you, if marquies brownlee do review on s5 exynos variant, he will say 1 good point and 90% bad points...
+ still not 4.4 and no performance improvment update,
i am not saying samsung is crap, but tradition to india is so bad,
who cars about exynos, today world of snapdragon.. even developers phone are snapdragon may be nexus 5..
samsung need to change..

That's somewhat true, but not entirely. The worst thing about Apple devices for me is that they don't have problems too often, but when they do, they have no recovery mode or anything to fix the problem yourself. You absolutely always have to go to an Apple store to get a so-called "tech wizard" to help you out or to give you a new device.
Not so good.

I mean suppose today I buy z3 after 4 months they make new smart phone, they forget previous smartphone like they never made, just look at their Advt and social media, when they launch new then forget previous model like that is manufactured by other company,
And if we buy z3 their price in our country fall quickly and resale value is like no value.. It's good phone but there are many things company needs to do than manufacturing

Hello,
I had a Xperia Z1 before and it had some problems so I sent it to Sony just a week ago and they are going to destroy the phone and leave me with nothing (unless i pay, then i get the broken device back) so I'm looking for a new phone just after 3 months :/ The oneplus two seems nice but I don't really want to spend 400 bucks on a phone as i'm only 16 years old and don't have the money for it yet! I can get the 16gb model but my music library is about that size lol! The oneplus one seems nice but I'm not exactly sure if I should buy it or not as I've seen people post stuff about messy touch screens which is a problem I really don't want!
Has this been fixed in recent updates and is this still a good phone to get for 300 bucks(64gb)?
Thanks in advance!

Mentioned touch screen issues were with initial lot.. The new devices don't have any problems..
OPO is well worth the money..
Only advice would be not to upgrade to 5.1 and continue using it on 4.4..for the sake of battery of course.. [emoji56]

Yup, there's no problem with it, I got one bought in January till now and it has no issues at all, no yellow tint or touch problem. Previously I got 1 early China batch one it indeed has yellow tint, but it doesn't as annoying or visible as you think.
Also vote for staying on KK, Lollipop the battery drain like nobody business. (Stock CM12S/CM12.1, Stock Kernel too)
go ahead n buy... no device has comecloser for me in terms of value for money!! no issues left now
hopefully android m will end battery problems as well!!

Alrighty then, the device is 300 euros in Europe and that's a steal! Do you guys happen to know when they will stop selling the one to estimate how much time I have left to buy one?

I don't think they'll stop the sales anytime sooner. The phone is selling a lot even now, after a year of it's release. So take your time.
I'm sorry I didn't see the date of your query, but You will not find a better phone for the money. I won't ask how they managed to refuse to warranty the phone, but that is a shame. Hopefully you can save up some money and get one.

Yes its totally worth it. I bought my g3 in January of this year and as days pass by I started hating it. There was barely any development, the battery didn't last long,and it got pretty warm after sometime. I trade it for a one plus one and I'm not regretting it whatsoever I mean it doesn't have the fancy features like the g3 but the only thing I used on my g3 was the radio sometimes and rarely the ir blaster.

Its still a decent device, although I'm keeping an eye on the ZUK Z1 which has been announced for international release to day (available October), with Cyanogen OS. Its basically shares many of the same internal hardware with the OPO, but has some additional features like OIS, dual SIM, finger print scanner, USB Type C, bigger battery, (arguably) nicer build materials.

Oh, they're also working on a ZUK 2 for January! Featuring the Snapdragon 820..

I sold my 64gb One Plus One (only had it for a few months, got it after the invite system went away) to fund a One Plus Two but ultimately decided to get a Mi Note instead. Love it; far happier than I was with the One. The One had ghost touches, yellowing screen, crap and a half camera (who cares about 4K if HD and FHD still look bad) and horrible onboard sound quality. The Mi is fantastic. Giant LCD (I'm 6'6" so this is a plus), OIS camera, best audio DAC I've ever hear on a phone. And I really like MIUI. One Plus MIUI is broken.
The only downside is shipping from China, but mine arrived no problem (15 days, most of those spent in some sort of customs). 16GB are roughly the same, 64GB Mi Note is cheaper than comparable OP2.
Answer to your title: No! You can find better devices with the same money.

To be honest, I'd take the Moto x Style or Moto x Play. With the new style center from Motorola and the 20 mp camera on the Play edition, it really stands out and may even be better then the 1+2.

Honestly I think this phone is really good, having said that though I am in the process of returning mine. Just look at the lack of activity in these threads for this phone and lack of custom roms, if you are happy with stock phone then get it otherwise theres hardly any custom stable roms unfortunately and there sadly seems to be a lack of devs here for this phone.

Honestly I think this phone is really good, having said that though I am in the process of returning mine. Just look at the lack of activity in these threads for this phone and lack of custom roms, if you are happy with stock phone then get it otherwise theres hardly any custom stable roms unfortunately and there sadly seems to be a lack of devs here for this phone.

If you don't need to mess with custom roms and stuff, get it.
Is really a bargain for the specs.

I just purchased one from B&H photo. I was going to get a new one, for $110 off the purchase price, of a 32 or 64gb version. But they had used white 32gb version, 9 out of 10, for $219 free shipping, so I got that. It will be here Friday. Hope it is in good shape. For $219 can't go wrong.

Yeah I'm about to pull the trigger on that deal as well. I kinda wish it comes other the doctor strange bundle.
They're a bunch of used one on ebay for around $250 ish (no original box), but for $40 more I would rather pay for a new device or reputable seller.

U got a real result there mate.
I have had my honor 8 for a few months now and I love it.
I hadn't rooted Etc and staying with stock on this one for a good while.
I know that people ain't happy with the custom ROM stuff that's happening or not happening.
This will change though, off you read what the devs are saying over on the custom ROM thread they are saying that they are working on thier own sources for Lineage 14.1 and once they have that sorted all of the other ROMs will quickly follow.
If I could start again with this phone would I still buy it knowing what I know about honor's lack of involvement ??
Yes I would for sure. It's a great phone with great specs.
I also have access to the pixel and I honestly prefer my Honor 8

It's a very good phone,fast,stable,good battery life and a very nice looking design. As other members said, if you plan to root and want custom rom i'm not going to recommend it, but if you stay stock, go get it. I got like one month ago and i'm happy, i didn't made root, i'm running B360 (Android 7.0) on FRD-L09 and everything it's just perfect. I like the EMUI 5.0 a lot, idk why a lot of people hate it. So, as i said, if you don't care too much about development go get it.

Well said that man
Thank you for your input guys. I did ordered one yesterday.
Yeah I feel like this day and age its kinda ridiculous to spend $800 and up to get a smartphone.
For the people that owns the phone, have you guys received Android N update yet?

Hoping to get it soon.

Yes I have had the N update for a while.
It's all running very well, very smooth, I'm not finding any bugs.
My flat mate has the pixel and his phone is not running any better than my Honor 8

Goodbye Huawei? What is your next phone?

I hope people respond to this and I hope it sends a message.
Firstly, I have simply loved so much about this phone. Camera, battery, screen etc! However, most importantly, the Huawei sanctions and walled garden that I, and others, have truly hated means that I will likely never recommend or use another Huawei after this ...
UNLESS THERE IS A CHANGE!
Please help send a message and reply to this message. Especially to my AL00 CN version brethren and sisters, but also the Western version users.
At any rate, my hope is that you can help and, together, we can make a statement... and that someone from Huawei reads this and S-T-O-P-S the bull****.
Of course, I could be a massive minority (would not surprise me). But I simply just wish for this company to allow users like myself the freedom to use their devices as we want.
Having said that, though, there will likely be other options on the horizon soon that spark our interest ----- and maybe that might just be the fun of it all.
Is it goodbye, Huawei? Please help Huawei listen and keep this thread going.
Sorry, dont have the needs for rooting at all.
I like the phone as it is, but its stuoid for those people who have the needs to root the phone and then they not allowed... Stupid.

The note 10+ is a a bit close to the price i'm selling my mate 20X, if i sell in this month, i'll maybe.. just maybe, buy Note 10+ or i'll wait for the Mi fold *this smart will be so ****ing beatifull*
I've just bought the note, picking up from local store shortly.
I'm going to put my 20X on ebay and see how it does
What effect does the walled garden have ? I've just ordered the CN version!

Never again. No more Huawei for me. I also got AL00 CN version. Love and hate this thing at the same time. Managed to root it before they stopped that, but when I pay so much for a phone I want to be able to do what I want with it. I have RR on mine. Honestly, never again.
I just sold mine, i'm buying oneplus 7 pro, or i'll wait for the 7T pro, i don't know what to buy it. I know that oneplus 7T will be lauching in 16 days i guess. But i don't have that time to buy it at china. Better buy for now the 7 Pro
I returned my note 10 plus and picked up this phone. I love it.
The Mate 20 series is quite capable but the fact you can't use a different launcher (on Chinese version which I own) among other things has me looking elsewhere. Interested in Samsung's folding phone. It apparently has been released in Korea and will soon be released in US...
i hace AL00 and I hope to find a phone with a 7-inch screen is the only thing I will miss my 20x mate. But I will never use Huawei again because I can't customize many things from the launcher and besides I need the code to do the unlock bootloader. I left the iPhone because it was very limited and Huawei is the Apple of Android. I guess I will buy a Xiaomi or maybe an Asplus or Nokia oneplus those are my options Samsung seems very expensive to me every time and I don't see much innovation.
I wish I could appeal to Huawei directly.
All we can do is hope that stuff like this, opens the companies eyes:

But I guess non-chinese are a significantly smaller market to huawei at the moment?
my next phone will be Surface Duo... for sure!

Interests me too.
But it is a long way away.

I really wish Huawei would listen to this message.
My guess is that once they open their boot loader, it becomes obvious that they have some intellectual property issues .
Good for the consumer in the long run.
Knock knock, Huawei.
Who's there?
Huawei!
Huawei who?

C'mon... I also am sticking with it for now... but the oneplus is screaming out louder and louder for those like me who don't want to be hemmed into EMUI world
To be honest, I really don't understand so many critize EMUI, for me it's not bad at all.
