I am looking for a new smartphone.
Budget: 200-300$
Things that i need:
- Good quality build
- Good Display
- min 32 GB Flash Storage
- min. 4 GB RAM
- Android
- Good internet/browser performance
- No lags, smoth control
- Great battery
Things that are not important to me:
- Camera
- Games
- Special Apps in general which need a lot of performance
My last phone was an Iphone 7 and i realised that i don't a need high-end smartphone anymore, because for the things i want to do with my phone (mail, browser, videos, chatting, sometimes calling) a low/mid-range phone would be more than enough.
But since i am using my phone very often from early morning till late night, it has to be fast, reliable, completely smooth and should last for a minimum of 2 years.
Phones that i found for myself until now, after watching and reading some tests/reviews:
- Honor 9
- Honor 9 Lite
- Huawei P10 Lite
- Xiaomi Mi A1
- BQ Aquaris X / Pro
Until now, i really like the Xiaomi Mi A1 because of its great price/performance ratio.
But maybe some of you can give me a better advice.
I would be really thankful for that.
best regards

Hello
I have two main questions:
1.Did really worth replace Honor 6 for Honor 6 Plus? Does double camera really gives a good picture? Why no one dont put some pictures and comparisons camera about Honor 6 Plus? Why, it is impossible to find on the internet?
*
and
2. Which phone?
My last phone was Xiom Mi3. Since I want to buy a new phone that is as good as Xiaomi Mi3 or even better just to have dual-sim, Igeta few phone. In the end I chose the Xiaomi Mi notes. Realistically there is no better phone with dual card and that the cost to the 350eura on Aliexpres. But unfortunately the Aliexpresu, Mi Note prices to hight - 410EUR minimum and I gave up. Too bad I do not have someone in China so that they can buy the phone for 320Euro in Xiaomi store. What is left and that can be purchased to 320eur is:
First ZTE Nubia Z7 Max (average phone but still may set for 320Euro)
2nd Huawei Honor 6 (processor is not something special, camera approximate Mi3)
3rd Huawei Honor 6 Plus (give really has a good camera or double camera only reklma?)
4th Lenovo Vibe x2 (a nice phone with jakip processor, camera approximate Mi3)
5th Huawei P7 (weak processor, camera approximate Mi3)
6th June, U3 (specifications as MI notes, but in reality that's not it - see clips YT)
7. Some of your recommendation ...
This is my opinion and I would like to hear your thoughts and recommendations. Are Honor 6 Plus relly better then all of them?
I have my honor 6 plus and its camera are better than my galaxy note 3 I believe

I've been waiting for this phone. I finally received it but I am not particularly happy with camera (as it doesnt have slow motion or taking picture during video), battery is bad (blame it on kirin processor), slow phone (unless you kill every goddamm app with inbuilt phone manager). So all in all I wish i didnt buy this phone. Sorry if my review doesn't help you with your decision making!

There are apps in Google store for slow motion and so on.
Battery is bad in what sense ?
The phone being slow is also odd compared to what many users feel. The Honor 6 and Mate 7 also have the same kirin 92x chip and no complains at all. On the contrary all reviews talk about phone performing great despite having tons of apps in the background.

The phone is very fast and 3GB of RAM.
The honor 6 is a great phone with high specifications but seems that Huawei/honor can't exploit all the posibilities. They should open the drivers in order to facilitate the development.
There is no easy way to unlock bootloader, no custom rom ,people with this phone enjoying with stock roms ,i just got honor 6 + 4 days back for nearly 25,000, i sold it for just 11000 because of these very very verrrrrrrrrrrry slow development, good bye.?
Hey , I'm about to buy a new smartphone and I'm wondering which smartphone will be the best for 300 bucks.
So what I want is a solid build smartphone ,weight doesn't bother me .A powerful CPU and sufficient RAM for Browsing internet,Watching Youtube, Social Media(Multitasking) and playing occasionnaly some games (asphalt,..) .A good Camera I don't care about low light or recording 4K videos I just want some Good Pictures ,more details and sharpness and accurate autofocus since I will use it for social media. And a durable Battery at least one day without charging !!! ; and a loud speakers not the loudest as the Axon 7 but at least audible.
After many searches I found that the Mi 5s is the best, but I heard that some users have encountered some problems with the fingerprint scanner , 4G connectivity , and battery draining too fast, and Problems with multitasking as the phone had to reload apps everytime , I dunno if it's a problem of some units or general.
But I also found these Smartphones : Leeco Le Pro 3, Leeco Le Max 2, Zuk Z2 , Honor 8 , ASUS Zenfone 3, Meizu Pro6, Huawei Honor V8 , Xiaomi Mi 5 , Zte Nubia 11 ,..., if u know something else in this price range please tell me.
So My Priorities are Performance , Camera , Solid Build , Battery , Audio .
Please Guys , tell me which smartphone can handle my needs ? is Mi 5s better than those listed above ?
PS: My Provider 4G bands are 800/1800/1600 Mhz
Could please answer to the pool below
Thanks in advance.
The vote will be undoubtedly biased in favor of the Honor 8
That's a whole lot a phones you're inquiring about... why don't you do your own research by reading the threads that already been created in the various phones forums you listed.

I know but most of the reviews are kind of sponsored or presented by fanboys !! So I need help with the community to help me choose the best for me.
I have reduced the list to 4 devices
Honor 8 (4gb) , huawei P9 (3gb) , Oneplus 3 , Axon 7 (4gb) !
I want best performance in day to day tasks , good battery , good daylight camera stills , good display , and acceptable sound
HONOR 8 <3
I did my own research but with the following devices: S7 Edge, ZTE Axon 7, ASUS Zenfone 3 Laser, Moto Z Play, OnePlus 3T and HTC 10.
I ended up getting Honor 8 as the EMUI skin is much better (and smoother) than other OEMs skins. Device just looks so much better than other devices of it's range like Axon, OP 3T etc., Looking forward to the dual cameras as well. I don't listen to music via speakers so lack of front facing speakers was not an issue for me.
Also figured while I wait for S8 Unlocked (which could take probably the end of next year in the USA), I can enjoy Honor 8 until then. The company also recently revealed that Honor 8 will receive updates for 2 years.
The only frustration I had was dealing with notifications but after playing around with it, I have set it to work the way I want.
Hope this helps.
I previously had a Galaxy S7 and wasn't impressed with their variant of Android. Overall I've been impressed with the Honor 8. Despite technically being slower specs wise than the Snapdragon 820, this phone is far more fluid than most other phones I've used. Typically in my experience when manufacturers customize Android and skin it to their liking it seems the end result is a bogged down mess but it's different with the Honor 8.
After having the Honor 8 for a couple of weeks as my daily driver here are my impressions of it.
Pros:
1. The CPU is extremely efficient and performs great.
2. The design is very impressive and sleek. I really enjoy that the phone is completely linear and flat. It feels very balanced in the hand and using it is comfortable.
3. The fingerprint sensor is accurate and quick. I've never seen a fingerprint sensor as fast as this one is.
4. Despite being iOS themed everything is efficiently placed in the UI and fits together very well in my opinion.
5. There is very little bloat that needs to be removed unlike other phones.
6. It only cost me $300 with a case, extra cable and charger.
Cons:
1. The stock launcher should be replaced with something like Pixel or Nova launcher.
2. If you decide on the Honor 8 then I will advise a case, but definitely get a clear one so you can still see the beautiful glass back
Since you can get this phone for less then when it first came out it's really a power house with practical features that make using this phone a dream.
As far as the lack of development... Unless you get a Nexus phone, nowadays there isn't much to gain from going to custom roms. You tend to lose features and functionality on phones like these when using custom. Truthfully, I believe the age of needing custom roms is coming to an end because of this. Huawei is also an excellent manufacturer in which they seem intent on making sure their phones get updated properly.
I own a honor 8, and I am surprised that it beat S7, G5...etc in performance.
Plus when you set it on smart mode, the SOT is just crazy (7-8h usually). And it multitasks very well for me (some apps, chrome, youtube and a game) without reloading
I'd go for the Honor 8 as the HiSIlicon Kirin 950 SOC used in it, is a very powerfull SOC.
Hey.
I got an Honor 8 without looking at all the specs (I got offered it on a good contract)
Since I got it I had fallen in love with it.
I'm on the UK beta N programme and it's the first phone I have ever had that I hadn't rooted and put custom ROMs into.
I have found that with the options for using themes and fonts that I can customise it as much as i want and the EMUI 5 is nothing like the EMUI 4 (IOS)
The battery life ain't what I thought it was gonna be but then it's still a beta program..
I know Honor have invested in a development scene both on XDA and MoDaco so they must be up for releasing thier source code.
I'm not sure about the specs for gaming etc but I would say that it's a great phone.

Have you had played with both phones, who's better?! (Apart from ROM support)
Aside from 3D gaming the Kirin 950 seems to be faster than the Snapdragon 820 at basically everything...

Yes, youtube videos proved it. Plus I've put my honor 8 against a LG G5 and S7 edge, both were slower than my honor 8
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

Build quality on the honor is as good as a flagship device. Believe it or not i had the galaxy s6 before this and for me this looks and feels better
Hey Guys, i love the mate 8 - even when the software is not the best....
This Phone is on my side now for 2 Years - the battery isnt the best anymore - and im a dude who wants a new phone after 2-3 years...
But now - i have a problem and i guess some of you have the same one...
The Mate 8 has a PERFECT size! i love this phone because of his demensions. (157,1 x 80,6 x 7,9 mm)
it could be even larger for me on the 157mm side so maybe 170,175 maybe. But its great how it is.
So since i have decided to go with a new phone - i buyd some new phones in my search for the perfect replacment - they had all one in common. SIZE!
they are all on the 75mm - 74mm size.
What brings me to the next point: Mate 10... i preorded this beauty and today i canceld it. Its demension are the same like the phones i had buyd.
THIS IS ****ING small compared to the mate 8 ( i dont talk about screensize)
I have kinda big hands and i love to type with both. The mate 8 was the perfect phone.
So if someone knows a phone a new phone with great specs and framless display - please mentention it here.
One phone i really liked what i orded was the Mi mix 2. Looks great! Camera is **** but i dont care about camera - but the demensions was like every else phone - 6mm to small.
Cheers guys

ha i was thinking the same thing these past few weeks. im gonna keep my mate 8 for a while longer, but im already starting to look out for a potential successor. the candidates i came up with:
- samsung note 8: nice design and size, but battery is WAY too small (smaller than S8+!), so battery life isnt what i want. plus, its samsung...
- mi mix 2: the mi mix 1 was gorgeous, especially cuz of its huge screen, small bezels and large battery! so WHY in gods name did they make it SMALLER now, both in screen size AND battery capacity? no option for me...
- mate 10: so far the best high-end option, but the mate 10 regular only feels like a "side-grade" with 4gb ram, whereas the mate 10 pro looks awesome, BUT: 18:9 screen ratio means 6" screen is actually smaller than mate 8 6" screen at 16:9 ratio. also, NO sd card! and NO HEADPHONE JACK! wtf?! big no gos, especially at that price range...
soooo i said to myself: whats really important to me? big screen definitely, also big battery for longlasting experience. do i need a monster gpu? nope, i dont play games on my phone. what about cpu? always nice to have a fast one, but hey: i have kept the kirin 950 in my mate 8 on powersave governor since i got it, so...how much cpu performance do i REALLY need in everyday operation?
so i checked a different/lower hardware range, but put more focus on large screen and large battery!
what i found was: the xiaomi mi max 2
- 6.44 inch screen at 16:9 ratio - gargantuan! and at FullHD totally acceptable for my purposes (i dont tend to watch my phone screen from 1cm away just to see if i can actually see the pixels, so dont come arguing that 2k is "better", cuz its not!)
- 5300 mAh battery (yep youre reading correctly!)
- headphone jack + hybrid sdcard slot for optional dual sim (like mate 8)
- comes with snapdragon 625 (i know, its "only" midrange, but octacore and is VERY energy efficient, so even better for battery life!)
- fingerprint reader and actually a nice design (at least the black versions, i hate golden phones *ugh*)
the best thing about it is the price: it comes in 64 and 128gb flavour priced at 240 and 280€, respectively.
so yeah, if i were to get a new phone right now, it would most likely be that humongous mi max 2 beast otherwise, wait for upcoming highend phones next year...
just my 2 cents
cheers!

yes that combo would be awesome @mi mix 2 with size of mi max 2
of course, when u have then side by side ure way too distracted by the design of the mi mix 2 to bother with the mi max 2 so have u tried the mi max 2 or just checked it out in the shop? whats your feedback on it?
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using Tapatalk
i buyd the mi mix 2 & the mi max 2. The mi mix 2 got my wife the mi max 2 got a friend of us.
There are a few personal things i dont like about the max:
hardbuttons
big cornerbars (top & down) - espascilly with the mi mix 2 right by his side.
camera is ****ty (i dont care about that - but even the mi mix 2 was better)
what to consider: THIS IS A 200€ smartphone! so its still a great choice - but nothing against the the mi mix or mate 8!
Oh and both had MIUI 8.0... and okey i had to flash with the global rom to get the german version but even there sometimes you get some chinese.
btw. i just saw today that the Mate10 LITE has a SD-Card slot.... SAY WHAT?... i dont understand how they can remove the feature in the pro version....

not only that, but the mate 10 (not pro, not lite, regular mate 10, not available in germany) also has both an sd card slot and a headphone jack
concerning the rest:
- i dont mind hard buttons, because this means more space on the actual display
- sure, compared to the mi mix 2 even the mate 8 has huge bezels
- dont care about camera
- as for MIUI: xda section for the mi max 2 already has a fully functioning lineage rom, so no need to stick to miui
and yes, all that for less than 300€ is just impressive

i absolutely LOVE the mi max 2! ive been running lineage os 14.1 custom rom since day one on it and super happy with it. on average, i get around 3 days runtime with approximately 18.5 hours SOT (yep, this is NOT a typo, its correct! ) display is huge and vibrant, love the colors and the feel of it. plus, ive gotten used to the size of this phone pretty fast, so no problem on that front
the mi max 3 is supposed to be even MORE awesome, with 7 inch 18:9 display (to counteract the smaller display area due to the 18:9 display ratio compared to the 16:9 6.44 inch mi max 2 i guess), add to that 5500 mAh battery and more performance via updated SOC and it should be something to keep an eye out for, especially for mate 8 fans
Hello. Im thinking to trade my mi mix 2s with galaxy note 8. Is that good? Anyone using note 8 give some oppinion. Thanks.
Why buy the Note 8 ?
- Better screen (Super AMOLED, 2K etc...)
- More stable software
- Better sound from speakers
Why keep the Mi Mix 2S ?
- More powerful (Snapdragon 845, UFS 2.1, DDR4X 6GB RAM)
- Faster updates, I'm already using Android P global closed beta with MIUI.
- More updates (MIUI flagships are updated at least 5 years)
- Better camera
- A lot more features, MIUI is the best OS for features.
That's a downgrade, do you know it right? Mix 2S > Note8 in camera and performance at all
We won't discuss about design.
Note 8
- Better display
- S Pen
- Better front-facing camera
- micro SD card slot
- IP68
- Better stereo speakers
- Headphone jack
Mi Mix 2S
- More powerful
- Faster and no lags whatsoever
- Better battery life
- Faster updates
- Smaller and better design
- Slightly better rear camera with daylight
- Modding without making your warranty void
It depends on what you consider important.
You could also wait for the Mi Mix 3 and then make a decision.

The Note 8 doesn't have stereo speakers...
But it's the best comparison.
Sure better speaker on Mix 2s! It's also feels much faster with MIUI 10, almost stock Android.
Thank for opinion friends. Decide to keep my mix for lcd display. Dont like much the amoled.
