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.

Honestly Good phone but bad service,
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

I'm almost convinced to sell my Sammy S8+ and buying an HTC U11!
What I need to know is this: is there an advantage to get a specific variant
over another as far as the "Rom/Kernel Development" goes?
I live in Canada but can also import one or even get a "US unlocked" unit.
Thank you.

Well, those of us who have been with HTC since the beginning of time welcome you with open arms... but before that, there's a few things we have to go over on our "Are-You-Worthy-Of-The-HTC-Phone-Checklist"
1. Do you constantly wish you could change your phone to fit your needs (you're that guy that always has something unique or flashy on their phone)?
2. Are you a nerd, geek or maybe have high aspirations to be either (Blessed are the nerds, for they shall inherit the earth)?
3. Are you a selfless, confident guy who values quality and uniqueness over useless features?
4. Do you promise to remain faithful, year after year, even if HTC fails to produce devices worthy of your C.H.C (cold hard cash)?
If so, then I recommend going after the regular Unlocked HTC U11 (US version). International version from my experience though comes with dual sims, take longer to get updates and other critical software improvements.
Ditch Sammy and grab the HTC. You might even find yourself with a sexy nerdy chick on your arm! :good:

I've got the U.S. unlocked version and it has 2 sims or it can be used with 1 sim and an sdcard.
My suggestion is get the 6GB/128GB unlocked version ... this way you can use both simslots if you need to and still have more than enough storage. :laugh:

But in all seriousness I miss smooth UI and great performance that is not hindered by laggy software. And great development as well.
Otherwise the GS8+ design is in my opinion one of the best, if not the best.
Thank you.
I went to get S8 today, all S8 and S8+ devices there had burned in displays, it's also weird that Samsung store has on display devices looking like that. No way i'm getting AMOLED phone again until they improve that. Now i'm looking at U11.

I have S6 that's a mess, started showing burn in after a year, and now after two years it's very bad. I use navigation in a car and that's main reason. I still might consider S8 but i like U11 more and more.

I moved from Samsung to HTC 2 years ago and never looked back since. I'm not even tempted to.
Beamed in by telepathy.
This thing flies! I'm not sure if it's because I disabled animation in Developer options but this is really fast! The unit is slippery at the same time for me it feels very nice to hold. Premium build as expected from HTC. And yes the camera...its great! 6GB/128GB here?
Just got it in Black. S8 display was to narrow for me.

I was a S6 owner too. Indeed, I think S6 is pretty than U11 but TouchWiz UI is a big mess and got memory problem during multi-tasking.

Well I went from the s8+ to the G6, lasted 1 day back to the s8+ then I got the OnePlus 5. Ditched the s8+ for the oneplus. Lost the great display but gained a smooth lag free experience. Then I got a great deal on the HTC U11. Never considered HTC before that. Never been a fan of touch U11 and their cameras we always ****ty. So when the U11 Dxomark rated 90 came along it seemed like an obvious choice. So now I got rid of the oneplus 5 and I'm rocking the U11 until the note 8 comes along.
The U11 software experience is just as smooth as the oneplus 5 with half the ram so better than the s8+. Only downside imo is the UI it's very dated. It basically looks like kit kat. The theming engine is laughable and sense is way too invasive. On the upside the design and finish is great, the screen is surprisingly good and the sound is also very good. So in the end somehow HTC U11>Oneplus5 >S8+
And yeah no lag.
Did I mention no lag... ?

Oh yeah. Oneplus has definitely taken over the Nexus mantle. Lots of bang for your buck with a thriving development community. The only reason that made me go with the U11 is the better camera. I'm not sure which provider you're with. I'm with Telus and I lost my LTE + with the U11 had it on both the s8+ and the OP5 just in case that sort of thing matters to you. ?

Of course it does. I've been with Rogers for a while now but bought a "Public Mobile" SIM card but haven't switched yet and

That's the thing. I have no idea. Bought it off of Kijiji. I have no idea where to find the info. Don't know if I have the Canadian, us, or international variant.
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.

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.

I preordered the phone from the UK store. Just wondering where all the reviews are at? Is it because none of the U.S. outlets received review models or is there an embargo? All the reviews are from people who imported the phone. I know that some outlets like android central went to events and said they were going to review it.... so does anyone know?
I think its HTC strategy with this phone, their marketing budget for it must be about £5! All I've seen is things on their social media and website, nothing anywhere else. I.E they aren't giving it out in the UK/europe for free for people to review, hence English reviews will only really come about when people who have paid for the phone get it.
Very strange, maybe it some deal they had with google considering its competing with the pixel 2 xl and this pretty much was going to be that phone?

That's a great question.
Yes in theory it should be possible. Especially since HTC actively advertises this feature in the U11+ specifications page on their website. If you scroll all the way down you will see a "DisplayPort" feature in the list. That's the technology behind the magic. The so called Displayport alt mode.
I wish one of the reviewers would finally hook up their U11 or U11+ directly to their TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable. There's exactly 2 videos demonstrating this feature on YouTube but they're using the older U10.
None of the U11 or U11+ reviewers demonstrated this awesome feature so far. What a shame. They didn't do their homework.
Give me a U11 or a U11+ and I will do a proper review.
Bunch of amateur reviewers!

Most reviewers are from the US so don't expect many besides the ones that are available already. So people like MKBHD, MrMobile etc probably won't review it cuz they usually get review units. Maybe J Williams and Flossy might if they import it.

Yeah the battery life is the main reason I opted for this phone, along with the LCD HDR display and good camera. It just doesn't seem to have any compromises outside of the headphone jack.
If you have the phone id love to see some screen on time screenshots.
Also, in line with the topic of the thread, GSMArena just did an article saying they're reviewing the phone now!

That's great. I didn't know Huawei Mate 10 had DisplayPort functionality. All modern smartphones should have it out of the box if you ask me.
If anything you would want the Huawei Mate 10 Pro . The other mates only have 4 GB RAM. You want it to compete with the U11+ right.
But then again the Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen and no sdcard slot which is a big turnoff. The Mate 10 have LCD and sdcard slot but only 4 GB RAM...
You know what. Just save yourself lots of trouble and get the U11+ which has 6 GB RAM & sdcard slot & LCD display.

If it helps, I returned my pixel 2 XL, due to screen issues and random reboots.
Then I purchased a Huawei mate 10 Pro, and have used it for the last two days. It's a great phone(screen is fantastic) but it's the little things that are bothering me with it, so I will be returning it tomorrow ( no double tap to wake, Bluetooth playback is quiet, speakers aren't great, finger print is slow at responding, always on display doesn't show notifications and keeps freezing on wrong time)
I will be purchasing the HTC u11+ and I think it's going to be spot on, but we'll see ?
Might seem fussy but if I'm paying big money, it has to be right ?
Hy guys. please help me what phone to buy between S9+ and HTC U12+?!. At the moment I have an HTC 10. I can't decide which one is better. Mostly for pictures, social media, waze...
Thx

I have a U11 (which replaced a HTC 10) and just placed an order for the U12+ despite the supposedly mediocre battery. I had a look at the S9+ and other devices but in the end, I just love software, edge sense, the audio quality and the fact that is the phone just works flawlessly.
Yea, I did my research and camera is better, audio is better, it's faster and smoother in UI and opening apps, edge sense is a plus, and it's cheaper. BUT beware, the power and volume buttons are IMO absolutely terrible. No update has fixed anything for me. IDK, I may have defective device because other people seem to not have issues.

It works perfectly fine for you, so you might have a device where the sensors are not working properly. But that's why there is warranty

I don't bother with the capacitive buttons either and I use a case (Spigen).
If you can change it that may be a good idea.

I have both phones.
The U12+ is a better one.
if you ask in the samsung thread you will get the samsung answer, here you get htc, bot are good devices while htc has the better camera the samsiung has the better screen, samsung has lagwiz while hrc-s sense may not have so much options as samsung but it works better, the edge sense i wouldant see as a pro or con because it is still a little fidgety, what i have to warn you, it is very very slippery, you cant even leave it on a desk, could happen that it walks and falls down

Contacted HTC about that and they I can send it in for repair but it's 3 weeks. Also, my phone is bootloader unlocked. Would that matter? Relocking it might still show it as being relocked.

Nope, nothing to do with it. If you live in Europe it won't be a problem anyway, in USA or so it normally shouldn't be an issue too

But doesn't unlocking bootloader void warranty?

In Europe not as you think. So if there is something wrong with the device which has nothing to do with unlocking the bootloader, it will not be void in that way...only if you **** up the hardware like with overclocking or so, it is void and they will charge you the repair cost

I sent my U11 in for repair after I bricked it. Well I thought I bricked it. HTC didn't fix my phone after having it for five weeks. Didn't even send me documentation on what was done with the phone as it booted once then showed a corrupt OS error. The phone did have an unlocked bootloader. At least HTC didn't charge me anything.

Don't get either! What for the S10.
And its looking like the export ban on Huawei might be completely lifted soon. The Mate 20 is looking to be the best phone of 2018.
Which one between the two has better battery life?
The only thing keeping me from buying the u12+ is the battery life.
Dont bother with mate 20 pro chaps, mine was sent back

Battery life with the latest firmware update is superb! Light to medium usage nets 7 hours of SOT with 2 days between charges if you are used to draining your battery to 10%
I have both phones. I was obsessed with the U12+ for months and finally pulled the trigger. I went back to the S9+. I couldn't stand the capacity buttons going nuts every once in a while and missed the headphone jack. Low light in the front camera is also better on the S9+.
I'd really hate to say it, especially being an HTC guy for all these years. Some of you may know me for developing the toolkits for HTC device to root them.
I went from the HTC 10 to the S9. I switched carriers and got a brand new S9 from Samsung directly for $480 earlier this year.
Huge difference with the 2 phones. I miss my HTC. I will say that. The camera on the S9 is extraordinary. It's the best camera I've ever used. My Nokia N8 (back 8 years ago) was the only phone I'd say that has an amazing camera, especially with Xenon flash!
The wireless charging on the S9 is a godsend. I charge my phone with it and prefer not to use the USB cable. Also, the S9 is easy to take apart. I work for Asurion, so I take apart phones nearly everyday. HTC is a pain in the ass to do. I can open the S9, swap the battery and put it back together in about 15 minutes. Super easy.
So in terms of maintenance, hardware and all that good stuff, I'd go with the S9, S9+ in your case. Only downside is that my battery is terrible since Day 1 and the phone can't be rooted/unlock the bootloader. I'm not really caring into fixing my battery issue. I deal with phones enough to not even care about my own.
Hy guys.....First of all,thank you....Second ... my new phone.....HTC u12+ .....So far so good,just 30 min ago i received the phone.No problems with ,,buttons'' .Now i need to install the latest updates for software.
