Hi, I need an help to choose my next phone.
My current phone is a xiaomi mi5s, very good phone but the software is a little buggy, with the new miui often only one of the 2 big cores are working and the phone lags.
The oneplus have good reputation for the software but I never tried one.
Here in uk at the moment the oneplus is the most expensive of the three:
Oneplus 6 469£
Mi mix 2s 387£
Mi 8 422£
All of them are 6bg ram and 64 rom.
Both the xiaomi are cheaper but oneplus maybe has better software.
I think the mi8 has better hardware but I don't like the big notch that hide the notifications, the mi mix 2s is the cheaper but i don't like the front camera quality and the oneplus is a little too expensive on the official website

I chose Oneplus 6 because of English/Western OS support. I tried to get Mix 2S for the longest time, but people who actually got it complained about numerous bugs and incompatibilities with Google. I don't know anything about Mi 8.
Tell me where do you find the mi 8 for that price? The oneplus is cheaper than the xiaomi mi 8, despite the launch price. But what if they are not selling at the launch price...
sorry for my English
Why not Vivo Nex ??
This phone has features that oneplus6 should have !!
Shame on Oneplus !!

Yes that's what I was thinking, the miui is a good rom but some models doesn't receive the support that they deserve, my mi5s is left with a bugged rom and they release updates for the older model mi5.

Today's price is even less, 405£.
But you need to add about 17£ for the shipping if you are in UK.
Where did you find the oneplus at better price?
I cannot find better price than the oneplus official website

I was considering getting xiaomi as well, but I decided to get one plus in the end as it has much better software development and OOS is a lot better than MiUI in my opinion.

oneplus6 is already expensive AF, it is almost $1000 Canadian pesos. Vivo nex shouldnot much more expensive, but still all of this phone ugly and do not have maximum performance as they should. At least the top model should have maximum available for manufactures.

Yes but they ship from China so you need to pay import duty and vat, I'm looking on something that ships from Europe.
I never bought from grossoshop, I discovered this Web site from some phone reviews on youtube and is it says that there are no import duty to pay so I suppose they ship from Europe.

Actually they are very close, on the selfie camera oneplus has eis stabilization but on mi 8 there is less noise at low light.
Rear camera picture same quality, video 4k 60fps oneplus is good, 30 fps is rubbish (no details), 30fps on mi 8 is good but no support for 60fps, I like the wider field of view in the videos on mi8. Audio OK on oneplus, rubbish on mi8.

During my visit to China for Honor’s 3rd anniversary carnival, I got a chance to witness the launch of Honor Magic on 16th December, 2016 and lay my hands on the device for a quick review. Without beating around the bush, here’s what you need to know about Honor Magic:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Operating System- Magic runs on Android 6.0 with Honor Magic Live software out of the box and is completely different than EMUI but feels much lighter and smoother for sure. Huawei developers must have re-structured everything in the backend for a fresh look, design, smoothness and performance.
Hardware- It is powered by Kirin 950 CPU processor, coupled with 4GB RAM for better performance and multitasking with 64 GB of internal memory. I opened all the apps but did not feel any lag or delay while doing so (Thanks to one of the support staff over there who helped me changing the language to English so that I could use and navigate across the settings).
Display- The 5.09-inch device has a screen resolution of 2K (yes, you read it right, not 720P or 1080P. But way better!) and a 3D glass structure to give more strength and look to the device. Screen pixels look extremely real, vivid, sharp and crystal clear.
Look and feel- It looks extremely premium in hand with completely re-structured design and a glossy finish. It looks awesome from any given angle and perfectly nestles into your palm for its decent size and the friendly bezel design. I felt comfy holding the glossy phone without any trouble or fear of the phone slipping off my hand.
Battery- It is powered by a 2900 mAH battery with Huawei’s Magic Power Fast-charging technology which could charge the phone up to 70% in just 20 minutes.
Camera- It has 12 MP dual cameras with RGB+Monochrome support which is capable of taking good pictures even in low light. I took a couple of shots and selfies too.
Connectivity - It supports the latest Wi-Fi bands and Bluetooth 4.2 and micro USB 2.0. Type C charging port helps in quick charging.
Pricing- It is available on Vmall.com, tmall.com, JD.com and suning.com at 3699 RMB, roughly around 36,200 INR.
Please share your thoughts on the same.
Two quick ones:
Is the "3D glass" anything more than the Curves & Edges ?
And when on English language, are there significant UI features or apps that are still locked to Chinese language ? This is of concern for those who get the phone from China. Im familiar with what to expect on EMUI but since this is a new UI im not sure if they have got everything compatible with the English language as of yet.

1- similar to Honor 8 but additionally on Edges as well.
2- When changed the lnguage to English, we were able to navigate across the UI but still there are apps locked with Chinese contents so thats a worry here if someone get it from China but on their global release, this will be different for sure.

The Snapdragon 845 supports 4K 60FPS but all the reviews and specification sheets claim the device can only do 30FPS, is there a modification that can enable this?
Anyone have a potential solution or input on this?
There's a video from a guy who claims he recorded with 60fps and 4k with open camera... However I only got 30fps with it. https://youtu.be/VQ2a01Bd00Q

I just watched the video, someone's requested in the comments he shares the exact app but they've yet to get a reply, since Snapdragon 845 can do it I assume there must be some modification with root or a specific app that can do it
I would assume open camera supports this, i have this app on my Nokia 8 and can adjust a lot off thing resolution up to 4k/60 fps which is not in possible in the stock cam app only 4k/30. Also bitrate is adjustable for vid and audio. Please try and let us know.

Camera2 api is fully activated on mix 2s. I set 60fps on open camera, then it limits the resolution down to 1080p FHD. If I set 30fps it allows you to record 4K UHD

Miui's official Global rom. Not xiaomi.eu
There should definitely be a way to enable this with root the Snapdragon 845 is capable so it must be a software side thing, hopefully someone finds a way soon

I think it is blocked in the cam driver or in rom. My Nokia 8 is S835 with no stock 4k60, with open cam it is easily done 4k @60fps with bitrate of 50mbps without any hiccups. I would like to know if anyone tried open cam on Android P... I have to wait until monday for my MM2s was out of stock.

Really hope it's a ROM issue and not a driver issue because if it is then we can save goodbye to 40k60fps even on custom ROMs (I think), my 2s unfortunately doesn't ship till July so I can't do any testing etc.
Anyone tried 4K 60FPS on Android P Dev preview?
The mi 8 seems to have the same camera hardware and gsmarena says it does 2160p 60fps so hopefully its easily doable on the mix 2s.

Tell me what I have to do and I'll try it
So I've been asking this question on almost all the new phones' forums recently because it's never mentioned in any of the spec websites or the manufacturers website. None of the YouTube tech channels check it either except for one which he also forgets to do for some of the phones.
The question is.... Is this phone Widevine L1 certified?
Anybody who already bought the phone can check through downloading an app via playstore. App name is 'drm info'.
Screenshot would be appreciated for anybody who are looking for this particular feature in the next phone they're gonna buy. Thanks in advance guys.

Yeah I know people can answer after they buy the phone, I'll just leave this here since it's something people should know before buying a phone. Whoever can get a screenshot of drm info will be appreciated.
Bump. Also interested in this. Wouldn't get my hopes up though, so far no Xiaomi phone has widevine L1.
I don't have the phone yet, but according to Frankie Tech's 48-hr review on YouTube, it's L3 (and he showed the results from DRM info in his video @ around 8 minutes in). He's running the Chinese software, of course... and said that the Mi 8 Global Version is L1, so maybe there's hope for the Mix 3. Who knows? Time will tell...

That's false. That YouTube guy lives in HK , buys all his phones from China. He doesn't know about the global variants that's why he says "probably".
I went to the xiaomi store in Hong Kong yesterday and checked at least 3 mi 8/ 2 mi 8 pro/ also pocofone. None of them had L1.

Can you clarify which part is false? Are you saying that it's unlikely any version of the Xiaomi phones (esp Mix 3) will have L1?

No xiaomi phone will have L1.
I'm also saying, anything without proof should not be considered as a fact. This YouTube guy has no proof that the global version of Mi 8 has L1, which is exactly what he says and compares the Mi Mix 3 with.

Thanks... and that's a good reminder as well. That's part of the reason I shared the the approximate time he talked about (and showed) that the Mix 3 has L3. I'm not really familiar with the guy, but it seems like he puts a lot of effort into his videos - I wonder where he heard that about the Mi 8. It seems a silly thing to lie about.
Anyway, thanks again...

That's false. That YouTube guy lives in HK , buys all his phones from China. He doesn't know about the global variants that's why he says "probably".
I went to the xiaomi store in Hong Kong yesterday and checked at least 3 mi 8/ 2 mi 8 pro/ also pocofone. None of them had L1.

You're right. I finally pulled the trigger and bought the Mi 8 Global variant and it has Widevine L3.
Hi, just wanted to update this thread. I have a Mix 3 and Widevine is L3. Flashed the EU MIUI 10 ROM when it became available for Mi Mix 3. Still L3.
Shame, especially with such a beautiful screen. Hope this helps!
DRM info (Xiaomi mi MIX 3)

So I've been asking this question on almost all the new phones' forums recently because it's never mentioned in any of the spec websites or the manufacturers website. None of the YouTube tech channels check it either except for one which he also forgets to do for some of the phones.
The question is.... Is this phone Widevine L1 certified?
Anybody who already bought the phone can check through downloading an app via playstore. App name is 'drm info'.
Screenshot would be appreciated for anybody who are looking for this particular feature in the next phone they're gonna buy. Thanks in advance guys.

The information comes from the global version I imported from HK. Unfortunately the smartphone comes with videwine level 3 and not L1.
(For those who are interested I would recommend to order a cover for the phone as the included one is low quality quality)
Its L3, Global Version with Global MIUI.

Smaller display, slower cpu, less/same ram, smaller battery, slower gpu... Do you even have eyes, what f****** successor?
Costs 400€, maybe even that is too much..

What are you talking about??
I'm clearly mention about the 10X Zoom Edition high end version NOT the midrange proposal with the Qualcomm 710.

I'll probably go from Nex S Global version to 1+ 7 Pro too. The nex S is a great phone, but I find it very disappointing that the Global Version is still on 8.1, I'm worried how this phone will receive future updates and this is not a problem on OnePlus's side, their developers are a lot closer to the community than Vivo's.

The Oneplus 7 sounds great but the lack of a headphone jack is a let down. Someone on another thread says he's downloading Pie to his Nex right now. If true I'm good with this phone for another year.

Yes oneplus 7 pro seems to be solid upgrade to Nex S.
But again will be missing 3.5 audio jack.
But the main differences is in software between Vivo and Oneplus.
Majority of western world users will prefer Oxygen than Fantouch that's the advantages for oneplus device.

Yes I saw that earlier. Thanks.
I've heard rumours that ColorOS 6 doesn't allow you to install custom Launchers, could some confirm or drop me an interesting link about what's so wrong with ColorOS before purchasing one?
Also, as I never had Oppo before, should rooting and removing Chinese market apps be easy?
Thanks!

If it's like the Chinese Funtouch version then probably not but there are workarounds for launchers I understand. Don't know about rooting and removing Chinese bloat.
First suggestion would be to wait for the Global model and second is to check the Oppo forums on here and elsewhere.
So... is this video up-to-date then?

I'm asking this because I don't have too much that I ask from Android at all - Nova Launcher + quick-shortcut to turn on LED lamp (e.g. long press on some button) and honestly I would be happy enough

The video looks old because the phone is definitely an old model. What do they say on the Oppo forums.
I long press the volume down button on my Nex. Probably the same for the Oppo. Again, you're asking in the wrong forum.
I like the oppe reno 10x much more than the Oneplus 7. But if there is no development possible on the reno it's worthless

There is an Android Q preview already for the Oppo Reno and soon Oppo Reno 10x Zoom.

But the main question is why would i upgrade my phone within just 9 months?
Are you satisfied? How is the software? I'm trying to pick phone with Sony IMX586 sensor but i can't decide.

Thanks. The hardware is much better on the Realme but i never used ColorOS. My previous phone was Redmi Note 4X and his software was amazing even in the beta versions. There are no Realme stores in my country so i can't see it in person before my order.

Just if you don't like color OS install a Custom ROM and problem solved, but you will lose 48MPX.

This phone is a overall better performer. Better processor, better display ( Mi A3 has only 720p screen, that doesn't affect anything if you are coming from a 720p screen). But damn!!!! ColorOS is just ****ty. I would prefer stock android over this anyday. Hope ColorOS 7 is better
