Hi there,
I'm rather happy user of Nexus 5, I'm loving everything about it apart from battery life.
OPO is no only 219 pounds, dirt cheap. I'm tired of ****ty battery life so it seems like a no brainer to buy one.
However, OP Two is coming and new Nexus too. I'm afraid of buying OP two at launch having in mind all the problems like yellow band etc.
Are OPOs now free of all their faults like yellow screens, unresponsive screens etc ? Should I buy one or wait ? Also, how is the dev scene compared to the nexus ?

I believe the problems reported with this phone only affect a small percentage of total units sold, it's just that those who are affected have pretty loud mouths. I own two, both are perfect. I know dozens and dozens of other owners who have perfect phones. If I was faced with this decision right now I'd buy it. It's cheap, and it's a beast. The OnePlus Two isn't going to be as cheap, the Nexus sure as hell won't be cheap anymore judging by the price of the last model. This phone is still fantastic, just check out our dev sections to see how much development it receives.

I was a Nexus 5 user too and I switched to OPO because of
- Battery life
- Better camera
- Sound quality
- And much more
When I switched to OPO six months back, I felt it was the next generation nexus 5, because it actually looks like Nexus 5 and it has almost similar kind of developer support
Reason why I think OnePlus One is better option than OnePlus 2
- I don't think there will be official CM OS on it
- You can't revert back to kitkat when you need
- As oneplus is a startup, the mistakes that company has made which are advantageous for users will be concealed
- May be it won't have bamboo styleswap cover
Only thing I miss about nexus 5 is
- Variety of Custom ROMs
- OIS
- Better display
- Availability of Developer preview ROMs (As I'm a app developer, I need it for testing)

How is the video recording ? Is the lack of OIS that bad ?
I don't need kitkat nor the dev previews, that's fine for me.
Screen ? Is really nexus 5 screen better ?

First of all, video recording was good before OIS, but since there is a better option non-OIS videos are "bad" It is good, but of course any video shot with OIS will look better You can check here. I am using a modded camera with software stabilizer, which helps a bit, but no OIS.
Screen? Nexus screen is better, since it smaller and has larger pixel density But to put the jokes aside, it has a great screen, and if you don't like the default setting you can calibrate and adjust contrast, brightness, RGB, kcal etc.
New owner here as well (ordered yesterday.) I too was a bit worried about the problems that have been reported in mass here, but based off of every phone I have had, I know problems seem larger than they are because the happy owners don't voice their satisfaction as frequently as upset owners. I hope I get a good phone as I wanted to switch back to Android since trying the iPhone 6.

Convenient portable scales for android. You can weigh every object weighing up to 900 grams (depending on screen size). There is a small error - about + -20 grams. The more rounded and smooth the base of the object, the best will show the exact weight scales. For accuracy it is also recommended to lay down on the screen of cardboard or plastic card. Watch the video instruction.

You weigh it in chunks of about 900 grams and forget about the 2.2% error margin per chunk.
Many Chinese phones support it.

I don't know if a take a Oneplus 3t or a Mate 9 because the price is not the same ><
Screen size also is not same 5.5 vs 5.9!
There is a Mate 9 Pro that rivals the 3T.
Yes but when Mate 9 pro coming out? I don't want a phone that heat, with mate 9 I will be sure that not heat, but oneplus costs so much cheaper ...

Mate 9, better camera ? Looking at the pictures and videos they are pretty similar. For the screen oneplus 3 have Amoled so it's best, the sound on oneplus is best but he heast and the development is going to be not very good given that many people will stay on classic oneplus 3, and finally the home button is physical...The digital fingerprint reader is easier to use at the rear than at the front...but the price difference is really important, and on aliexpress, mate 9 Pro costs 733€ ...
No body have a experience on O+3 ?
I like both but i will always take Mate 9 Pro because of Its amazing UI and Camera

Even when OP3T is cheaper, I think the Mate 9 is worth a try.
I think the main difference here is the size and the battery, because otherwise, both phones are really similar. I was waiting as well for the announcement of the OP3T, but being honest, it disappointed me a lot, because is only a 10% increase in battery and a "slightly" better processor, because 820 and 821 are virtually the same one.
I was expecting some upgrade on screen (QHD) and maybe a new camera (IMX 398), but instead we got nothing and just a price increase, which for me, it's not worth it a lot.
Mate 9 comes with stereo sound, comes with Nougat out of the box, the screen is one of the best in its class, the storage and the RAM are necessarily enough, I don't think someone would ever need more than 3-4GB RAM. Is a matter of taste, if you would ask me 3-4 years ago which one, I would say go with the one who has more development (I had all Nexus), but nowadays, I'm not interested anymore in that and I don't see the need of rooting and installing ROM's, because most of the times the software is really nice and polished. All reviews are speaking really positive about the Mate 9, so I think I will get one, because I miss EMUI and after I sold my GX8, I found out that it has many useful things there.

It shouldn't drain so much the battery, FHD and QHD consumptions are almost nearly identical nowadays.

I bought it from our Huawei retailer in Dubai last Sunday. The Huawei EMUI that is based on Nougat is spot on. I have Pixel Xl in hand right now and I feel there are a lot of features I am missing from my Mate 9. They fixed most of the issues from 4.x.x in 5.
Difference between Mate 9 and 8 is quite huge. Performance almost bumped up to 200% in gaming. CPU perf upped by 30% too. There are reviews floating around if you like the numbers. Screen on Mate 9 is better than M8 in contrast , black levels and speed. Loudspeaker is stereo on Mate 9 compared to bottom firing speaker on Mate 8. It is louder and fuller. Very good for listening sessions at home like internet radio or podcasts. Even it makes your game immersive by covering your ears with wide range of quality stereo sound. I didn't need to use headphones because of how loud and clear they were.
If you like pictures then Mate 9 is excellent in still photography. If you are looking for a quick snapper look somewhere else.
Just gotten my Mate 9 yesterday and realised that there are yellow tint on the bottom left of the corner. Anyone else with the same issue?
Wondering if it is undry glue or screen issue.
All good here, screen's fine
Mine too, perfect whites here.
Have you checked the screen color in the settings?
Yup. Only the bottom of the screen have the yellow tint. Apart from that, all shows perfect white. Seems like I need to contact them for RMA.
I had that with other brands twice. They will replace it, I'm sure.
Same here..
Same thing here and have a replacement now to compare. The new mate has a completely different screen and is more yellow across the entire screen.
I will keep the original one...already getting used to the yellow bottom

Get over it and enjoy the phone.
i also have a yellow tint and probably I will return the phone. I cant get over it and enjoy cause the phone didn't cost 100$ and in my opinion it is unacceptable.
The yellow tint either faded or became less noticeable for me after 2 weeks use. Several other phones had a similar issue (OPO, for example) where it was just uncured glue.
It don't you think that in phone for so much money on the phone it should not have the place?

A yellow tint/spot usually means your device is from a fresh new batch, the glue used to affix the LCD panel to the phone will cure with usage. The glue will cure faster if you use your device in high brightness mode so you can give that a go for the next couple of days. You can also leave it 1-2 hours under direct sunlight or any UV light source. I wouldn't worry about it.

It is possible to check when the phone was produced? Like in Samsung app from play store?

Hello to everyone. Any views on Mix 2S vs Mate 10 Pro?
I am having a hard time deciding between the two. On the one hand the Mate 10 Pro in "sexy" blue, with the official European support and service, the camera, the AI, the battery life, the IR, and the known quality. On the other hand Mix2S 6/128 which is unknown territory to me, bought from sometimes dodgy Chinese sites, non-official or difficult support, and questionable battery, but innovative and practical and also rather "sexy" in ceramic (please correct me if this the 6/128 is not ceramic), with the practicality of wireless charging. Price is roughly the same. Thanks
(PS. 1+6 is too apple-ish, so out of the equation. Perhaps the Smartisan R1 would be a strong contender having the best looks, but again hard to find and no idea about the support and build quality).
In my opinion you don't really need the support, if you buy it on tradingshenzen for example you can buy a 2-year insurance for 24€ covering nearly everything. The camera on the 2s is awesome but I don't know the mate 10 camera so I can't compare it. I get about 6-7h SOT so battery life is not bad. IR is a great feature and I miss it a bit but not very much. The build quality of the 2s is awesome it feels very very premium but it's a little bit heavy. Yes, the 128 version has a ceramic back and the sides are aluminum. There's a full ceramic version but that's only the 256gb version I think. If you have some questions feel free to ask
I have both and I actually prefer the Mix 2S. I've had many Xiaomi phones in the past, so I'm more partial to Xiaomi and MIUI, but I wanted to try the Mate 10 Pro. The 2S camera is right up there with the Mate 10 Pro. I like the fact that the Mate 10 is waterproof, AMOLED screen, and slightly better feel in the hand. I feel Xiaomi has more frequent updates, especially if you decide to try the dev ROM.

Whats your standby drain like? Debating on a 2s vs waiting on a Zenfone 5z.
My s9+ is getting sold off once its paid off, battery life is inconsistent at best and it really annoys me. Former View 10 and Mate 10 were far far better.
