Honor 9 (EMUI) VS Xaomi Mi6 (MIUI) - Honor 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello mates,
Can you tell me which one is better or which one do you prefer more - Honor 9 EMUI 5.1 or Xiaomi Mi6 MIUI 8.0?
And which one is better Honor or Xiaomi considering stock ROM updates and custom ROMs?

Mi6 is much better in terms of custom roms and development.And games prove to be running smoother on Mi 6 currently.However since huawei is going to add GPU Turbo on Honor 9 so it remains to be seen later...And personally I do think Honor 9 is prettier than Mi 6

Yes, I agree with you Mi6 has much more powerful chipset Snapdragon 835 than Kirin 960, but Honor 9 looks prettier than Mi6 and somehow better build quality.
But what about camera quality and which is better running EMUI or MIUI?
Honor comes with EMUI 5.1, but as I've seen it should be upgraded to EMUI 8.1 with OREO 8.1 in near future.

Currently it is EMUI 8.0 and I don't know whether there will be 8.1.
I think MIUI is better in many aspects (more themes,more interesting functions,etc.)But it depends on your own taste.And Xiaomi has a better reputation in bug fixing and software update (while Huawei don't).Many users hate the low update speed.
About camara,some of my friends complain about Mi 6's poor photos.I am fully satisfied with Honor 9 camara.Its quality is great!
And to say about one of the heating topics,Project Treble,honor 9 bootloops on some treble roms.Also it is known that Huawei phones brick easily.So If you are a flash addict like me I do advise not purchasing Honor 9.(I must be dreaming for I didn't look through the development section before buying)

ONEplus3 or Honor 8 ?

Hello i wanted to know who's one is better than one plus 3 and honor 8 i want performances for 3d games photo selfie battery life and video recording i need to keep it for 2 years or i had another idea is to wait that the s7 price goes under 400 euros
what is the best idea for you
thanks
It was a very tough choice for me. I wanted a OnePlus 3 but needed a new phone asap and there was a 3 week delay. I got the honor 8 and have no regrets. The screen size is biggest difference. Also here is a link to a dual sim s7 from a company i trust. I got my honor 8 from them. I went with the honor because i got it for like $250 after all the bonuses factored into the price. Also I got it overnight shipped. I have ZERO regrets and love the phone

For 3d gaming, bigger screen size and video recording I'd say go with the one plus 3.
Thanks fort tout replies i will go for a s7

Honor 8 is a good one on camera and I always have good battery life on HUAWEI (I own a Honor 4x). Kirin 950 is powerful enough to run most games.
The only downside you may encounter is that so far Kirin is closed source and you may not receive future system upgrade (like from Android 5.1 to 6, to 7...) if HUAWEI doesn't provide them. For OnePlus 3, developers can work on it and bring you new system upgrades...

Thx but honor 8 will do not have Android 7 emui 5 but here i read that ROM custom are coming soon...
I was making the same decision the other week; in the end I went with the Honor 8 over the OnePlus 3 mainly due to the display. The oneplus 3 has a pentile screen, and based on reviews it's not the greatest screen. Personally, I didn't want to be stuck with a mediocre screen on a phone that I'll be keeping for ~2 yrs.
Plus, I'm hoping to use the Honor 8 to get better at building custom roms; the adventure of trying something new is exciting, versus the relative ease of building for the oneplus 3.

Yup, photo quality is good. It's a responsive phone, it could probably be better with a lighter skin (custom roms!) and some tweaks to the kernel.

development of honor 6x

guys please suggest me which one to buy honor 6x or redmi note 4 snapdragon version or any other, i m heavily confused, i know honor 6x has better camera then redmi note 4 , i m mainly concerned about android development, will HiSilicon Kirin 655 will also as development friendly as snapdragon, and which is better in performance aspects HiSilicon Kirin 655 or snapdragon 625... if there are any other suggestions please let me know.
Definitely the honor 6x much better choice
For development, you have to buy a SD...
Maybe in another 2-3 years, HUAWEI will pick up the pace...
May be SD have better development but with Honor 6X you may not be looking at the custom ROM because with EMUI 5.0, it's definitely worth trying as customization options are their and noticable improvement in performances.

mate 9 or OnePlus 3T? (Regardless of the Price)

I know it looks like this question has been asked before, but most of the answers revolve around OnePlus 3T being cheaper. But for some reason they cost the same in my country. so i want to know which one you'd choose if they were the same price.
I would really like to have the bigger screen of Mate 9, but I've heard that Huawei phones are not durable and will have lower performance after a while. is this true? this is a very important factor for me because i wont be able to buy another phone anytime soon, so i'll have to do with it for a time (preferably more than 2 years!).
Thank you ladies an gentlemen in advance for all your wise advice!

Are you kidding me about Huawei durability? Also, lower performance? After a while??? Bro, I don't think you are talking about the Mate 9. https://youtu.be/-x7s_amjJso
The only thing OP3T has over the Mate 9 to me is development (custom ROMs) cos of the Qualcomm SoC, Huawei HiSilicon Kirin 960 is a beast but lacks outside support.
Being a security enthusiast, I want to have things like Kali Linux installed which I unfortunately can't.
Other than this reason, it's a smack down by Mate 9 over OP3T in every department (I don't care about OLED screens, this is just fine).

Thank you my friend. As i said, this is just something I've heard people say, and people who have only had mid-range Huawei phones. I am glad to hear that this is not the case with Mate 9. I'm not too worried about my security, and if the UI is fine (and it seems to be), i have no problem with not being able to install custom ROMs.
Thank you for helping me decide!
I had the OnePlus 3 not the 3t and I made the switch to the mate 9 and I have no regrets. The mate 9 is a super phone. The OnePlus is for ppl who likes to flash roms and I tried them all until I eventually got tired because it's more of the same. I love the battery on the mate 9! It all depends on what the user wants.
I switched from oneplus 3t.
Bigger screen, bigger battery, camera is way better. Custom ROMS? I`m fine with mate 9 rooted debloated stock
No I definetely dont regret about my oneplus 3t
Mate 9 easily. Bigger screen, bigger battery, faster charge, micro SD support. I've had both.
3T IS faster with 6 GB ram ( Comparitively I have 6GB Chinese model rebranded to USA of mate 9) but Battery life on 3T stinks compared to mate 9.
I think Mate 9 is still better than the last Oneplus 5.

I have had the mate 9 for almost 3 months. I came from a LG G4 and it is a beast. I almost bought an op3t but the battery life and not overheating made me buy this phone. For me that was a must even playing high demanding games it runs cold.
Coming from an OP3, first I wanted to go back to my OP3, but gave the Mate 9 a chance.
After using the M9 for a week I couldn't go back...
Gesendet von meinem MHA-L29 mit Tapatalk
I went from the mate 9 to theOnePlus 3T via the G6 and the GS8. Put it this way: if the mate 9 had wifi calling (Tmobile), I would have never gotten any of the other phones I list. It's that good.
I came to the Mate 9 from the OnePlus 5, and the only thing I miss is the front-facing fingerprint sensor

Mate 9 vs Mate 10 Lite vs Honor 7x?

First, forgive me if this isnt the correct place to post this question. I am in the market for a new phone. I currently have a 6s+ and it is tapping out. I am with Metro PCS so I buy my phones outright. If money weren't an issue I would do the Mate 10 or Note 8, but it is and so here I am. Please give me opinions on the best phone to get from my list. My biggest concerns would be making sure the camera is on par with what I have and the processor. I think the Mate 9 has a better/faster processor but not sure if it is much difference from the other two. Also I don't see the difference in the Honor 7x and the Mate 10 lite spec wise.
Thanks
as you can see at my profile, i own both models Honor 7 and Mate 9.
I prefer Mate 9 because of the bigger screen and the better battery and performance.
The Mate 9 will get OREO update in the near future!!!
Unfortunately the firmware of Honor 7 is no longer updated!!!
So the fw is affected of the BT & W-Lan security issue.
This can be fixed only if Phone is rooted and running with a custom rom.
At my opinion, the LG G5 (changable battery!)or G6 are also very interesting and inexpensive phones.

It's Honor 7X, not Honor 7. Released december 2017

Mi Note 10 - Is it still worth buying now?

Hi guys,
Just checking with you, is this still worth it to buy as of April 2020?
Mi 10 has been released here but the pricing is too much 2599 AED which is almost near the Samsung flagships and iPhone 11. iPhone SE 2020 has been released as well with identical pricing to mi note 10 pro
What bothers me is the software update which is the usual complaints about Xiaomi phones. I don't think there's an official Android 10 now.
Please let me know of your thoughts and advise if I should buy this or not, or if you have other recommendations, it is welcome too.
Thanks guys.
I advise you not to buy mi note 10 great phone but not support from xiaomi

Thanks for your reply. Mi 10 is released here but the pricing is too high
It still offers the best allround camera performance at the pricepoint it has now, which for me is the most important aspect.
But it is very slow at getting android 10, xiaomi in general is slow at updating to new android versions.
I would still buy it again, or wait for a global redmi k30 pro.
Mi 10/pro is just way too expensive.

thank you. now I am deciding for mi note 10, real me x2 pro and Samsung note 10 (not the plus).
Still unsure but more on mi note 10 and x2 pro
Mi Note 10 is still worth for its main camera and 5x optical zoom. These two have OIS!
It is almost the cheapest phone with such camera, and the best thing is Unlockable Bootloader. Huawei and Oppo currently don't offer bootloader unlocking
Bad thing with Mi Note 10 is, the poor firmware development. No official Android10 yet, right?
Anyway Xiaomi lists it in MIUI12 update list so there should be soon.
Whatsmore, we are lacking kernel source or device tree to make custom roms or kernel.
Yesterday, Mi 10 Youth Edition (Mi 10 Lite Zoom Edition) with OIS 5x zoom camera was announced.
If Mi 10 Youth Edition get better firmware development, it will be a better choice than Mi Note 10.

I read today that that Stable Android 10 for CC9 Pro (Chinese Mi Note 10) was just released (V11.1.1.0.QFDCNXM). I think only a few days, then there will be a global stable...
This is the best for my budget but I am thinking due to the software updates. Realme got his own UI now. modified color OS so I am thinking this mi note 10 or the realme x2 pro

The CPU is not an issue at all for my purposes. It's a gaming chip, so even if you play games it should be fine for most titles.
The software is another matter. I actually like MIUI, it's very iOS-like. It's the first Android I use with the stock launcher. But Xiaomi really sucks with the updates. They need to support their products better.
As pinni83 posted earlier, it looks like Android 10 is coming to us soon:

So it will be long waiting for the Android 11, yeah? I think I'm gonna go with realme. They are pushing their new UI that looks like color OS with Android 10 already so android 11 can be delivered earlier than xiaomi delivers in Mi note 10
Well, I did bought the MI note 10, and returned it... Decided to buy the realme x2 pro. Honestly, the cameras of the x2 pro are good enough, but the most impressive it's the difference of speed! 500€ for a phone with the snapdragon 730G it's just nonsense. Palm rejection is awful if you plan to play cod os fortnite, at least in my experience. FP super slow compared to the x2, even though the one in the X2 it's from the first generation of on-screen FP, but it's way more accurate then the one in the note 10. The MI note 10 it's a beautiful phone, screams premium, but compared to the X2 pro, for me, it does not stand a chance. We are all here because we like to experiment with our phones, searching for the best speed/functionality, or just to play around. In the X2 pro xda section, there is not alot of custom rooms, but in the last two weeks 3 new custom fw just appeared, so I think it will be a better phone to customize. I'm a Xiaomi fan, but for now, realme is going very strong and very cheap compared to others with inferior hardware.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm checking where I can buy realme with local warranty here in UAE and will decide based on that. oneplus 8 here is a Chinese version flashed with oxygen OS so I doubt about 5G. I can buy realme here but it is import from India. I will check and let you know

There are 500 steps between from 1 to 50X (not really usable) in 0,1 steps. Best results are up to 5x, but good results also to 10 and 15 times. Look here:

My last Xiaomi, Mi Mix 3 with Snapdragon 845, was not really faster, in some cases Note 10 is a little bit slower, but in most, especially networking, it´s much faster and smoother. But i´m not a gamer, for my usage the Note 10/ Pro is fast enough for all apps. In next month we will get Android 10/ MiUI 12, this will also be a big step forward.

Why do you say the phone is not supported by Xiaomi? MIUI 12 will be released for the Mi Note 10 sometime in June.
I was about to purchase the Mi9T and was bothered by the camera.
The Mi Note 10 seem to be the best for me.
I still did not purchase it. why?
The main difference from the 9T is the camera, and if that amazing camera lacks performance I'm not sure it worth that difference in price...
would appreciate your suggestions.
I currently have the Mi 9 SE. For me personally the performance is fine (snapdragon 712), battery is fine too (3070mah), camera is great but only with gcam (currently gcam mods have problems support all lenses) also very easy to debloat. I do mostly two things on my phone; browsing and tinkering with the camera. So naturally Mi 10 Note is perfect. I just worry about the size and weight. Is it easy to get use to it?
I'm mostly worried that adding 100$+ for the cameras (comparing to 9T) simply doesn't worth it.
The Note 10 has the exact same specifications in terms for cpu and graphics with the 9T.
The main difference are the cameras.
If the 730 does not stand up with the required performance for such great lens power, there's no use to it.
So here I am puzzled between 9T and Note 10...
