Honor 7X VS xiaomi Mi A1 - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Got some comparison imformation of the two phones from 91 mobiles and share with your guys.
The online sub-brand of Huawei, Honor has just launched the successor to its Honor 6X (review) – Honor 7X (review) at an event held in London. Notably, the Honor 6X was one of the first smartphones to bring dual cameras to the affordable segment, along with a ton of other premium features. Now, with the launch of the Honor 7X, the brand has once again come into the limelight, as the successor comes as a worthy sequel. The phone has gone on sale on Amazon India starting December 7th and will be competing against Xiaomi’s Android One contender – the Mi A1 (review), in this price segment. Therefore, to clear the confusion as to which one to pick if you are in the market for a new daily driver, we have pitted them against each other. Read on to find out if you should invest in Xiaomi’s Android One offering or the latest dual camera toting budget offering from Honor.
Design and display
Speaking of the Xiaomi Mi A1 first, the handset maintains the signature design of the brand and flaunts a metal unibody design. However, due to the presence of the broad bezels, the device feels wide in the hand as compared to the Honor 7X. However, the subtle curves on the back of the phone makes it feel ergonomic and comfortable to hold. Basically, the design of the Mi A1 is nothing to write home about and is par for course with most Chinese smartphones in this segment. The Honor 7X on the other hand, boasts a more futuristic design with a bezel-less make and the same metal unibody chassis. Thanks to the bezel-less form factor, the smartphone is more in-line with the modern handsets and feels more premium. Both smartphones are pretty lightweight at 165g but the Mi A1 flaunts a thinner 7.3mm chassis as compared to 7.6mm on Honor 7X.
Moving on to the displays, the Xiaomi Mi A1 comes equipped with a 5.5-inch IPS display, which has 1080p resolution. It offers crisp visuals and accurate colours with comfortable legibility outdoors. On the other hand, the bezel-less form of Honor 7X lets it pack a much larger 5.93-inch display in more or less the same footprint. Moreover, with the screen pushing 2,160 x 1,080 pixels in the 18:9 format, the IPS panel offers crisp and vibrant output.
Where are also some other aspects, including: hardware, software, camera, battery,e etc.
So what do you guys think?

The Honor 7X is ~GBP100 more expensive than the Mi A1!
I went from a Honor7 to the MiA1, no complaints, nice phone. Well, apart from the Honor hardly ever being updated in 2 years ... already had more security fixes - and the Oreo update of course - from Xiaomi in the last 3 months or so, than Honor did in over 2 years. The more I think about it, the H.7 (around GBP185 at the time?) was a 'loss leader' to try and get you hooked, and get Honor market share, but they aren't such good value now as their prices are creeping and creeping up.

Honor 6X vs Xiaomi vs Wileyfox Swift 2

They're all a similar price, with the Honor being the priciest.
Looking for a fairly cheap, fairly decent phone as a backup phone to my iPhone, for when I travel abroad. Something that gives me decent battery, performance and a camera. NFC would be nice too, for Android Pay.
Options are the 6X, Wileyfox Swift 2, or a Xiaomi.
I'd go for the Wileyfox if it had a better CPU - it has a SD 430. The Xiaomi's are decently priced, the Redmi Note 4 (global edition) is about £150 from honorbuy, SD 625 I think. But it lacks NFC, not vital, just would've been nice. Plus the Xiaomi could come with a vendor ROM, and I need to wait for the global version to be released, as I need LTE band 20.
What are my other options? I'd go for the Honor but the build quality is suspect, at least from YouTube videos.
Built quality of honor phones are better on any day than redmis. Plus the camera is way better. Battery is decent as well...1.5 days om regular use. I can stretch SOT upto 10 max and 7 on an average. EU version has nfc and gyro both.
redmi note 4 will have better custom rom support

Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T : Which phone should I buy ?

Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Comparison-Gadget2buy
One of the most awaited phones of the season is already here – the OnePlus 5T. Just after five months after the launch of OnePlus 5, the 5T has been launched for the mid-segment buyers with many new features and additions. It comes with a glossy new six-inch edge-to-edge display, improved design and an enhanced camera setup. No doubt it is an excellent phone with many features but the all-new OnePlus 5T faces a lot of competition from a number of other phones in the same segment and the most importantly from HMD Global's offering for the same segment, Nokia 8.
So before you decide which will be the best phone for you, let’s take a look at the features and specification of OnePlus 5T against Nokia 8.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Design and Display-Gadget2buy
Both the phones have a very attractive design.
The OnePlus 5T has a very familiar design. Like the iPhone 7 or any other new age phones, it has a smooth flat glass and metal body that curves at the edges. It has a design that has already been very well received and reviewed by smartphone users. With a huge 5.5 inches large bezel-less display and fingerprint scanner at the back, the phone is completely in line with the times.
The Nokia 8, on the other hand, does not sport a very flashy design but keeping up with its reputation as a sturdy and good looking phone. A slim phone with full metal body and a 5.3-inch Glance Screen Quad HD display. The display is bright and colourful with a Gorilla Glass 5 to protect the screen in case of a fall.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Features-Gadget2buy
Both the smartphones are powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor. The Nokia 8 has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage on board. OnePlus 5T comes in two variants- a 6GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant and an 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage option.Both the OnePlus 5T and Nokia 8 come with Google’s latest Android 7.0 Nougat software.
In the battery front, the OnePlus 5T is powered by a huge and long-lasting 3300 mAh non-removable battery which supports Dash Charging, The Nokia 8, by comparison, features a 3,090mAh cell. But a smaller battery here does not less battery life. With a smaller bezel-less screen Nokia 8 fairs pretty well in battery life.
A few other features in Nokia 8 are Iris scanner, Fingerprint (touch), Touch sensitive control keys and Splash resistant body. The OnePlus 5T only has a fingerprint scanner but is not splash resistant.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Camera -Gadget2buy
Both these phones have excellent cameras and the camera is the highlight of these phones. HMD Global has long since marketed Nokia 8 as a device for "storytellers" – tell your story with images. The Nokia 8 comes with a dual camera setup in the rear. The rear camera is equipped with ZEISS optics – and features a 13MP primary RGB (colour) sensor paired with a 13MP monochrome (black and white) sensor. The ZEISS optics allows the phone to capture depths and assists in low-light photography. This phone also has the new “bothie” camera, which basically means that you can use both the front and back camera simultaneously for split screen images and videos and turn it into a fun image. With an inbuilt app, you can even live stream a bothie to Facebook. And for selfies, there is a 13 MP shooter in the front.
OnePlus 5 T also features a dual camera in the rear and has got a new telephoto lens in its dual shooter. The new telephoto lens carries exactly similar 16-megapixel Sony IMX398 primary lens with f/1.7 aperture. The secondary lens is a 20-megapixel Sony IMX376K sensor with a wider aperture whereas in OnePlus 5 there was a 20-megapixel Sony IMX350 sensor. For selfies, it sports a 16-megapixel Sony IMX371 sensor in the front.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Gaming Performance-Gadget2buy
Gaming and multitasking are quite easy and very enjoyable for Nokia 8. At no point does it slow down to drop and also the volume output and the performance of the phone remains top-notch even with heavy duty games like Mortal Kombat and Injustice.
The OnePlus 5T is blazing fast when playing games, multitasking, and just browsing the web. It has a great battery and is quite good for playing games with a huge display and great performance.
For gaming both the devices are excellent and cannot really be compared.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Price-Gadget2buy
The OnePlus 5T is available in two different storage variants, with the cheaper 64GB/6GB RAM variant available Rs 32,999and Rs. 37,999 for the 8GB RAM/ 128GB model. The Nokia 8, on the other hand, is only available in a single variant and is available at a price of Rs 36,999. The pricing is a very important point to consider while buying the two phones and here OnePlus has done quite an aggressive pricing.
The end verdict is that the Nokia 8 is a very sturdy and elegant phone with excellent features and a great camera. The OnePlus 5T, on the other hand, is a classy bezel-less smartphone with a few excellent specs and great price.

Here's the official news about OnePlus 6 launch and specifications

Here's all you need to know about OnePlus 6 launch and specifications
There have been several rumours about OnePlus 6‘s launch date, with the most recent one claiming it to be on May 21. It turns out, this date wasn’t far off, as the Chinese company has just confirmed that the OnePlus 6 will meet us officially on May 17 in China. This finally puts a rest to the conflicting release dates suggested by different rumours in the past couple of weeks.
Now that the launch date is confirmed, we can finally focus on the other aspects of the device. The OnePlus 6 is confirmed to feature a glass body with round corners, different from the all metal design adorned by the previous flagships. This should also pave way for Wireless Charging support, a first for a OnePlusflagship device. The glass body has been reportedly selected among 70 different prototypes and the final product will feature 5 layers of nanotech coating to give a better feel of depth on the rear glass as compared to competitors.
Coming to the specs, the OnePlus 6 is almost confirmed to feature a notch up front on its 6-inch AMOLED display. Other rumored specs of the device include Snapdragon 845, 3450mAh battery, 8GB RAM, 128GB / 256GB ROM options, and a 16+20MP rear dual cameras.
The OnePlus 6 release date in India was said to be May 18 according to a recent report from Money Control. With the official launch in China set for May 17, this date doesn’t seem to be far off. However, it is worth adding that OnePlus had officially reached out to us stating that this release date was false. So, we’ll have to wait for an official confirmation from the company for the India launch date of the OnePlus 6.
Note that the OnePlus 6’s China launch conference tickets will go on sale from April 27 at 10AM.
And now, an additional official info says there Will be an event in London the 16th to introduce the oneplus 6 : https://www.gizchina.com/2018/04/25/oneplus-6-global-launch-event-set-for-may-16/ and the official teaser https://twitter.com/oneplus/status/989048462758109185
I can't find anything which says whether or not the phone will have a micro sd card slot. Does anyone know either way?

It most likely will not.
Jhn
Oneplus 6 will be available to buy straight away after premiere 16 may?
Or we will have to wait few days?
How it was with for example 5t?
Full specs
The listing informs us that the phone will be powered by a 2.45GHz octa-core chipset, undoubtedly the Snapdragon 845, 6GB of RAM, and will have 64GB of native storage. That's certainly the most basic version of the phone, which will likely feature a souped-up version with 128GB of storage and 8GB of RAM. A 3,300mAh battery will keep all of the lights going strong hopefully for a full day of usage in the least.
Further down the line, the device is listed as having a large 6.28-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 by 2280 pixels which works out a 19:9 aspect ratio. Although it's not listed in the TENAA listing, we know for a fact that the device will also feature a display notch - it's just how phones roll these days.
In the rear, we find a dual camera combo consisting of 20 and 16MP snappers whereas the selfie camera is listed as being a 16MP one. In terms of size and dimensions, the OnePlus 6 will likely measure up at 155.7×75.35×7.75mm and tip the scales at 177gr. Android 8.1 will be running the show; we expected nothing less.
Cameras will be the same like in 5T? How do you think?
@Gramzz
According to rumors the 20MP and 16M are the same as on 5T but they will use a new sensor on 6 with the same MP.

also better SOC that should balance the bigger screen and battery. it would equal to 5t, in that case, it should be good enough not to forget Dash charge V2.
Will it have OIS for the cameras?

Just dropping these here...
Ah, a pretty invite.

			
				
Hi all..
I've just bought a Nokia 7Plus and love it's updates cycle among many other things.
But now I feel I should have waited for OP6 ( my earlier phone had broken in April and thought OP6 would come after June end).
Just one question-
How is the security updates cycle of OnePlus?
Do they make you wait like Honor and HTC or are they better?
Thanks
can someone comment on the camera?
what will it be comparable too?
i bought the p20 pro because of the camera specs very nice on paper, more than not it takes really nice photos.
i hope the oneplus 6 can rival it, if it does ill be purchasing and selling the p20 pro
Will there definitely be a 8Gb/256Gb version upon launch ?
According to 'leaked' German Amazon website: OnePlus 6 will have OIS, and Super Slow-mo, with SD845. Base modell price: 520€, 8/128 570€. There were no information about any 256GB modell. Maybe it's the Avangers special?

Wondering if its worth changing, main deciding factor is the camera, if camera is comparable or better I'd definitely swap my p20 pro

Last Kirin Standing - An Upgrade Dillema

I guess I'm not the only one around with an old good Mate 20x waiting patiently for this year's new phones revelation firmly determined to upgrade.
And I did some research. I don't want to replace the phone for something worse. I'm not into such a big screen anymore, I prefer something lighter and more ready for one hand manipulation.
There is not much available or coming to the higher class. According to reviews, Galaxy S20 has problems with the main camera, besides Exynos for non-US markets lags significantly behind Qualcomm and it is overpriced. Note is not substantially different. Oppo seems to finish this year's production, its Find X2 pro is currently the best choice but it still has software problems. There is an interesting new kid in the block - Vivo X50 pro plus, but Vivo is so slow regarding system upgrades that is wise to forget it. Otherwise there is another mighty product in the market - Xiaomi Mi 10 pro, its's really ugly according to today's standards and the global software is buggy.
Sure, there are bunch of Huawei phones from Mate 30 pro 5g to P40 pro+, they are still actual and reliable. And a new pair Mate 40 and 40 pro are coming. It's now confirmed and some of their characteristics are known already:
1. Both phones are coming wth curved screens, Mate 40 pro with a waterfall 1080p OLED 90Hz display in dimensions between 6.7 to 6.8 inches, which is just right for my new orientation. The displays of the Chinese manufacturer BOE have been chosen by Huawei for its next high-end smartphone, namely the Mate 40 . The most powerful version of the terminal, the Mate 40 Pro , will have three companies as official suppliers: Samsung Display, LG Display and the aforementioned BOE.
2. They might have 24 and 32MP selfie snappers and Mate 40 phone might have triple settings in the back camera with main 50MP RYBY, 16MP ultra-wide, 3x optical zoom lens respectively, while the Mate 40 Pro version comes with 4 sensors main and wide 50MP RYBY, 5X periscope and a ToF sensor.
3. The battery of phones will have the capacity of 4500-5000 mAh with the support of 66W fast charging technology, and 40W wireless charging.
4. As we already expected both phones come with EMUI 11 on the base of Android 11 (without GMS) and are rumoured to round late September/ Chinese language Nationwide day which falls on October 1, 2020.
5. There are more improvements already speculated as outstanding performance, 5G capabilities, system optimization, ID design, unique features like remote thermometer.

All these are good news but there are bad too. Both models supposed to be equipped with the new 5 millimeter SoC dubbed as Kirin 1000/1020. But we know that the producer of this chip TSMC stopped receiving orders on May 15 and all due Kirins must be taken over till September 15 according to the US trade ban. There are rumors that Huawei didn't assure enough chips and that deliverable quantity could only cover 80% of expected Mate production. Not to mention that Huawei might want to save some of these chips for next year's P50 models. Hence the Kirin supposed to be intended only for Chinese market, global Mate 40 phones might come with Mediatek Dimensity 1000+ SoC (Samsung's dual chips policy). What looks like a bad joke: Dimensity 1000+ is not a 5mm chip, it's not equivalent Kirin 1000/1020, it's even well below Snapdragon 865. Make no mistake: in 2021 5g becomes something that makes a difference between phones.
And there is more. The most important improvements of Android 11 seems to be 5g and electronic id documents support (together with car keys replacement). The end of China - US trade war is nowhere in horizon. On the contrary - the CCP aggressive attitude toward China neighbours is bound to bring even greater restrictions. Huawei is working hard to attract developers to its app store but more and more Chinese apps are blacklisted every day. There is not only GMS outage to consider (it could even be bypassed), the growing limitations of use Huawei products puts the new Huawei phones on the risky side.
The bummer is that Huawei is so highly above the rest in R&D investments that there is hardly any decent competition. We'll see what might bring Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro+ and Nokia 9.3 if they are real.
For me there is no upgrade path from 20X.
Maybe ROG Phone 3 if the cameras are great but other than that idk

This is how I feel as well. If Huawei would of simply allowed launcher changes on my phone (china phone) and bootloader unlock so I could eventually move to lineageos it would be perfect. It's one of the only phones that didn't slow after a short time. I feel like once the security updates run out I'm hosed due to not being able to update it to another room.
