Just recently upgraded to p20 Pro but really not liking EMUI so was thinking of getting the OP6 128gb.
One concern is audio quality as I use Bluetooth headphones everyday, can anyone advise if the audio quality is any good.
I'm using the Sony MDR-X650BT headphones and have been happy with that. I don't profess that I'm some audiophile but it's clear, punchy with good bass and higher Max volume then my OnePlus 5 had before adjusting that with a custom Kernel and the headphones support apx not apxhd though. I'm waiting for a good Bluetooth 5.0 with apxhd without spending $400
I got the free Bose QC35ii with the p20 Pro so was disappointed they didn't support aptx but audio is still good. I'm really just not enjoying my experience with the p20 and have always wanted a OnePlus. Managed a hands on with one today and it's a nice device and I like the idea of stock-ish android.
How do you compare the camera?
I'm going crazy thinking the op6 pictures are clearer with better details?
Bluetooth on the op6 is better.
I've played around the op6 and own a p20 pro but I can't make a decision yet.
The camera is a hard one as sometimes I think the op6 takes much better photos with more details.
Where I'm from the p20p has volte and the op6 doesn't (carrier doesn't support op6)
I also dislike emui
Speakers on p20 pro is better however
The fluidity of the op6 is addictive.

Never got to really test the camera on op6, however i fine the p20 camera inconsistent and sometimes over processed especially when using AI. I have a DSLR so camera is not a deal-breaker for me.
Speakers are great on p20, and android experience on op6 is far better as is the screen.
Still can't make my mind up

Biggest deciding factor is volte
Is it worth ditching for the op6
Given that the camera can equal each other.
The p20 pro annoyingly over-softens everything.
I sold my huawei mate p10 pro to get the one plus 6 as i hated emui , i had a one plus 3t before the p10 and having gone back to the oneplus with the 6 i have no regrets, no the speaker quality is not as good but it is adequate and the camera takes excellent pictures but the os is awesome and so smooth. o2 stores have the oneplus 6 in stores why not pop in and try it out.
My Huawei P20 Pro went back for other reasons to do with unwanted branding but if anyone doesn't like Emui then Pixel.2.Launcher.modded.5.3.build.23.apk gives a pretty good impression of a Google user interface. I ended up getting a OP6. It does loads of audio codecs - AptX included. The Huawei have a software fault and you are stuck with one AAC codec..
The Launcher above works nicely on the OP6; I prefer it to the OP launcher.
I don't have a P20 Pro, but a P20. I used it for 1 week, and I was so disappointed with it, on the usability aspect.
Why do phone companies have to reinvent the wheel? Why there are duplicate apps such as calendar, calculator, etc. that Google already provides. Google apps, in my view have more features than the stock ones. True, oneplus has these duplicate apps as well, but they can be disabled. P20 doesn't let you disable Huawei made apps.
Secondly, P20's (EMUI) interface is no heavy and clunky. I am just not made for EMUI, and I would say the same Xiaomi's MIUI and other such skins... Touchwiz, LG. Hence, I returned my P20 and bought OP6. It was like returning back home (I had OP3T before).
But, back to the question on sound quality. I really like P20's audio quality via the speakers and BT headphones (Dolby), it is rich, is punchy, is clear and has descent base. Unfortunately, to my taste, OP6 has underperforming speakers, and a very average BT headphone output, even though it has APTX(HD). I miss the audio experience of P20.
I hope lineageos arrives soon for OP6; I will then install Viper4Android.
My wish is to have a fully functional lineageos/aosp for P20. But, I know it's a distant dream. Huawei will not let it happen. P20 has such an amazing hardware, but a very limited (and annoying) software experience. I don't think P20 will ever get Android P, although on papers it supports Project Treble.
The only phone that has near perfect hardware and software is Pixel, but then the asking price is sky high.
P20 Pro audio is pathetic while OP6 is much better. I use it with Sony WH-1000XM2 / LDAC and they play just fantastic with Tidal Hifi and Roon with high res files, altough those headphones play clearer over BT than on the cable.

Depth effect sucks on op6 i guess it needs a software update
The P20 Pro does have a IR blaster which i used to have fun with in shops but overall Oneplus6 is much better. I am just confused as most sites say oneplus 6 has no mobile HDR support but people in forums say youtube HDR is working
Hey
I'm currently a lg G6 user and I'm thinking about buying the mi mix 2s !
I live in Paris so had the chance to test it live in their store and found it beautiful, the screen was very good and the camera too, but I also tried the Xiaomi S2 in hand and felt good too.
I know the price would be a factor, but it's not the case for me and Idk what to buy, the S2 or the mi mix 2s.
I mostly use my phone for youtube, chatting sms calls... no games and I take many pictures, so the camera and battery are important to me (I also like to use custom roms ...)
I ask you if you could please give me your opinion and help me choose
Many thanks !
The Mi Mix 2S has the better camera and internal specs, also the build materials are better. But that's because they are different phones, aimed at different targets: The Mi Mix 2S being a flagship, whereas the S2 is a mid tier phone.
I totally agree with Kristof_clg, however keep in mind that the 2s is very heavy. Feels very strange if you are not used to it
I also came from a G6. Don't get the 2S. Hell, don't get any Xiaomi device.
Too many broken/missing features.
Just get another LG or something like that.
I was on LG G5, next ZUK Z2 Pro, next OnePlus 3 and now on Mix 2S and it's A LOT better than all previous ones, smoothness, camera, quality build, the screen, it's very very impressive, I know the G6 and you should leave LG for Xiaomi.
I moved from LG6 to MIX 2S and don't regret it. all specs are obviously better, including battery life. took me a while to get used to weight, MIX 2s is a very, very heavy device. there were few problems with original software, but latest update fixed it. Camera is much better. design was the reason i bought MIX, but if i should do it again, i will not buy Xiaomi device again.

Could you please explain the reasons why? Since I already had a redmi note 4 it was great overall besides the camera.

"Very, very heavy" ?! Seriously ? I don't feel it heavy at all ?

Depends on what phone you had before. I bought the 2s after I used the oneplus one for a long time... The 1+1 is wonderful lightweight and the 2s feels like I can murder someone with it

It simply doesn't make a big deal to me.
I owned 11 smartphones and it truly doesn't bother me. In fact I'm okay with it.
Just my personal preference.
I came from an HTC 10 and a Nexus 6 before that. Neither of those phones was built to be a lightweight, and even I noticed how heavy the 2S is. That said, it doesn't bother me a bit. To me if feels sturdy and I would much rather that than it feeling cheap and like it couldn't take a drop (my first couple of Samsung phones come to mind). Plus as stated earlier, you could use it as an effective weapon if needed
LG have had quality build issues. G4 bootloop due to bad memory, G5 gps Very weak, to not working at all. I have a g5 currently and have a mix 2s on its way to me. I dont know what missing features apart from headphone jack and no microsd slot there are. Mix 2s has an ir blaster like g5 has which you wont find on any other current flagship main stream device now and 8gb ram 256gb rom is more than what samsung or lg give you, 4gb of ram on s9 is terrible for a premium device. Micro sd cards are reletively slow anyway, getting 256gb mix 2s negates the need for microsd.

The Mix 2S has an IR blaster? I tried the Mi Remote app and it told me the phone wasn't compatible.

Sorry it doesn't. Some sites that list specs incorrectly say it has. Obviously googling for "mix2s ir blaster" takes you to those sites, my mistake. I have my mix 2s now, I didn't when I posted that.
Hey there!
So I've always been a Xiaomi fan for the past 4 years, although I've been offered either a Vivo Nex S or the Meizu 16th for my Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S + 90€...
Wondering if such a deal is worth it, and if so for which?
I love them both due to the screens and on-screen fingerprint reader so just looking for a more "in-depth" opinion...
Cheers!
i can tell you i had mi mix 2s and i sold it to buy vivo nex s in which is arriving in 2 weeks
2 things i did to want this
the battery on mi mix2s with 5-7 hours SoT due to the 3400mah and LCD IPS screen.
and the selfie camera which i dont use that often but when i did it annoyed me having to up side down.
the only thing ill probably going to regret is the lack of support towards roms, root and other mods.
But we will have to see and wait for Funtouch OS to get better in time.
About Meizu 16th can't say for certain but a 3010mah battery doesn't look promising and the design is also something i don't like in comparison to the vivo nex.
So i say VivoNexS>MiMix2s>Meizu16th
A flagship without battery kife is nothing that's the reason y i dintt got s9 or so plus

I replaced my Mix2 with the NexS and I'm loving it. Don't know much about the Meizu but it certainly won't match the Nex in battery life.
Thanks guys! Vivo it is!
EDIT: just got offered a 6T for 130€ more. Is it worth or should I. Keep with the vivo? Also, regarding to Roms, how's funtouch compared to MIUI or even OxygenOS?

Despite what some might say Funtouch isn't all that bad, however OxygenOS for me is leaps and bounds better. However the Vivo Nex (international) is one very nice device, the battery life is just sublime, display also & camera's are very nice to......:good:

Coming directly from the Mix2 and MIUI I actually prefer Funtouch in many ways. I've never used Oxygen.
The Oneplus is a better known and more popular phone than the NexS but I don't think it's a better phone (especially with that horrible notch). I look at the NexS as a premium Oneplus since they're basically from the same stable but with a bigger full screen, battery, wow factor pop-up camera and exclusiveness. I think it's the most underrated phone of 2018.

Wanted to take the time and "mini-necro" this to thank you guys for the suggestion. Vivo is just... wow... I still went for the 6T but traded it like 2 months later and couldn't be more satisfied.

We told ya!
Looking at what's been released so far for 2019, I don't really see any compelling reason to replace my Nex. It's that good and the new phones are just adopting what the Nex already has.
I'll use this post to ask something else. I'm getting a phone for a mate's birthday. Thinking about a Mi Mix 3 or an S9 Plus. I can get 'em both for the same price. Which should I take?

At the current prices, definitely. Apart from the SD855, all the new phones from Samsung, Huawei and even the upcoming Oneplus 7 are only now adding features the Nex has already optimized, In-screen fps, pop-up camera etc. But only the Nex retains the headphone jack. Battery wise they still don't match the Nex for endurance.
This phone is awsome in any ways!
Best battery life
Best camera
Best display
Good speakers
All good things i one beast phone!
But the big down side is (Noo Root) and bad in fingerprint!
I suggest you buy xiaomi mi

Have one more question regarding this device.
How is the audio quality through 3.5mm jack (headphone)?
This is most important to me,coz I love to listen music.

I don't know because I haven't used a Samsung phone for almost 6 years. My guess is the Samsung probably has better audio and so it should at the prices they charge. Personally I'd still buy the Nex but each to his own.
I was going to move from.iphone to p40 pro however my banks have said they are unlikely to ever support the huawei system so am looking at something different than for example Samsung
I have seen the oppo find x2 pro and the headphones offer is definitely tempting me
I've never had an oppo before what are they like in firmware updates? Do you wait for ever or are they quite prompt for example what month security are you all on??
Also is the camera good (other option is the xperia 1 Mark 2 as I've a massive photographer)
Thanks in advance

My find x2 pro has the june security patch but i think other carriers already have the july update and with each security update they always have other things in the updates not just security patches like samsung do, also the camera in my opinion is better than samsung , samsung photos always seem quite grainy and the 120hz + QHD+ run at the same time unlike samsung and 1 billion colour display on the find x2 pro make things looks way smoother in terms of the colour spectrum/range.
Plus this phones charges up from 0 to 100 in like 35 mins.
Brilliant thank you as long as it's not months behind I'm happy...

The Find X2 Pro is fairly recent however I'm on the June security patch now which is the latest for my region, July incoming soon I believe.
Additionally this phone outclasses any Samsung on the market & will continue to do so even when the Note 20 comes out next month because Samsung cripple us with their lackluster Exynos chipsets.
Camera quality is amazing, I came from a Note 10+ to the Find X2 Pro and don't regret it whatsoever, the custom built sensor is outstanding and has amazing colour accuracy.
As for the display, 3K, 120hz, HDR certified, with 1 billion colours, & calibrated to perfection by Oppo, even outclassing the likes of the OnePlus 8 Pro.
Need I say more?

You made it sound that good i want to buy another one lol
Hi I just recently returned the Xperia 1ii and decided to try the Oppo Find X2 Pro
First impressions have been positive. The camera does seem to be better than the Xperia and that is me using the Manuel modes with photo Pro on the Xperia
Screen is just as good and I like what Colour OS has built into its software.
Xperia had issues with video recording as it was causing a hissing sound so it was a big deal breaker.
Enjoying it so far and hope I will continue to do so
I read a few horror stories about the xperia 1 ii I loved the advance software for camera but rubbish front camera and also issues with software so glad have ordered the oppo one it's landing tomorrow can't wait
