Thinking of get the U11 6gb therefore, hand my S8+ over my wife but...

Hi guys, currently I have S8+ which have me some how very happy. I love so much the big screen and how it looks. Performance is not bad but not the best, sometimes is laggy. I am thinking of changing my S8 plus for the UT11 6Gb but a few questions get me concern. Hope you can help me:
Is the U11 screen big enough? I mean of course is not as the S8+ but at least can you feel is a very good size? I have used the note 4 which love the size of the screen. Then I got the S6 which screen is too small and hate it because of it and now the S8+.
Secondly, I am a Samsung boy since forever but the last two years I want to try either HTC, One, or Google. So far HTC U11 seems my best option. What are the drawbacks of HTC in general?
Lastly, Is the battery good enough to last 1 completely day, for instance, from 10 am to 23 pm?. I know it depends on many factors, but imagine you are traveling and just use the camera and sometimes the gps.
Thanks in advanced

I have both phones. S8+ has the better screen though narrower. U11 is a tad shorter but wider and feels bulkier.
I returned the original u11 because believe it or not, the phone began lagging and I do have a lot of apps though no gaming or Facebook.
I am hoping the 6gb version corrects that.
Overall battery life is far better on S8+.

Can you show any screenshots of your best battery life on the Samsung S8+?

i typically don't hold on to screenshots or worry about battery life once I am comfortable with the phone and it has settled down once all apps are loaded and have been using for a few days. I'l try to remember to begin a new cycle tonight when I go to re-charge. I don't have a clean count because I did pop it on Fast charger for a few minutes twice today and I typically only charge to 85%.

I like the wider screen of the U11. I don't have an S8+ but had only tried in Samsung stores. This thing is really fast. Battery lasts me from 6PM to about 10AM next day with about 10% left. That's with all day data on.

I went from the s8+ to the oneplus 5 to the U11. The HTC feels very dated. The UI and launcher feel like 2014. The screen is more than adequate. The light sensor is a bit off I find that the screen is often the too dark or too light. When it comes to lag on this phone I get 0. The one thing that does bug me sometimes is missing haptic feedbacks on the keyboard. The best thing about this phone is definitely the camera. I actually use the Google camera though as the camera app on this phone is really meh. To be honest I can't say for sure drop the s8 for this phone as I'm only keeping it until the note 8 comes out. But is it at least as good as the s8+? It sure is. As far as smoothness goes it is much better. Hope this helps.

Yes of course there is. But when you type quick it skips sometimes. Like after every 30 taps or so you get one blank one. That still registers though.

just change the keyboard XD
I find flesky is the best keyboard on the market if you don't use predictions(can be disabled)
swiftkey if you use them
but touchpal is one of the worst

6t compared

I'm not sure if this is where this question belongs but anyway:
My favorite phone I've ever had was the Nexus 6p. I loved how big and wide it was. I loved how easily I could root and flash custom roms to it. I loved all the modification of the OS I could do to it. I currently have the 8+, but am looking for an upgrade. The pixel XL 3 is probably going to be if not 700+ close to it. So, would you say the 6t (not out yet) and 6 OnePlus is similar? Is it easy to root, good screen, battery life etc? Is it over hyped? What is your opinion.
Thanks

Stay tuned over here for news and reviews once released...

I think OP6 and OP6T will be almost the same just some facelift modifications.
So...
Easy root --> yes
Good screen --> I would say yes
Battery life --> isn't the best, but it's good.
Over hyped? --> never!?

I'm guessing it'll cost more for very similar to identical internal hardware.
The only things that would get me to upgrade are a battery 4000+mAh, a MUCH much better camera (like, it'd have to be the best on the market by far for sure, I'm pretty happy with the OP6 camera), or if it somehow ended up cheaper than the OP6. And even for me to upgrade then, I'd have to accidentally break my OP6 first for me to spend that much money again.

What about charging it? Can you use a regular cable? I don't like that you have to use the propitary hardware. Especially since I'm currently upgrading my home to use power outlets among other reasons.

I think the 6 and 6t will be similar in most ways. I mainly see 2 aspects that can make a difference:
1. the removal/loss of the rear fingerprint scanner.
I'm pretty pissed by that. I don't know if banking apps will let you use it for example (the apps will have to be updated/modified because the bottom half of the screen will have to make way for an area on the bottom where you need to place your finger on the screen to unlock). of course apps will adapt to the front in-screen fingerprint scanner but who knows how fast this will happen.
Plus no more fingerprint gestures while the phone is on (pulling down status bar, single traps, double taps,...).
Also, the in screen scanner is going to be slower than the standard rear scanners and when you grab your phone in your pocket where you can now just unlock it by feeling the spot in the back (and the phone comes unlocked and with screen on when it's in front of your face) you will have to actually look at the screen and place your finger on the exact spot where it has to rest in order for it to unlock. Don't see the point in that because face unlock would most likely unlock during that moment of search and press.
2. maybe this point is false, but possibly there will be more development for the 6t due to the fact that it will be available to a much wider audience being offered by t-mobile in the US. so far OnePlus phones have not been available in any US phone carrier store so way more people are going to actually see a OnePlus at the place they usually go to look for phones.
I don't expect the camera to be better than in the 6.
The phone's speed will be identical since it's using the same hardware.
You're missing out on the 3.5mm headphone jack in case that's important to you. And perhaps they will add wireless charging with the 6t (we'll see).

I had a Nexus 6P before as well.
Personally I find the screen ratio of the nexus better than the 19:9 from OP6.
Both are missing a sd-slot although the OP6 is dual sim but both slots are sim only.
Screen quality is good but compared to Samsung it is just average. Not sure if it's the quality or the colour adjustments.
I often have non-recognized touch inputs but this could be due to the screen protector it comes with. I will remove mine and see if it gets better.
The fingerprint reader has it bugs as well when it does not recognize my finger and ask for the pin. Something I never had with my nexus.
Audio speaker quality is ok not more. Better use earphones.
Camera is good but by far not the best.
Rooting is easy but a bit different because of a/b slots. You get used to it after first flash (or boot loop ).
Battery life is good for me.
USB is USB type C but it is a USB2.0 connection so HDMI adapters and stuff are not working (at least not for me).
Volume slider is a nice extra.
OOS is quite good too altough I completly debloated it with xXx magisk custom rom.
Would I buy it again?
Yes. The hardware package is very good compared to it'sprice.
My next phone needs a sd-slot again. I hope OP thinks about that again...
Will I upgrade to OP6T?
No. No need for me. And the missing audio jack is a no go for me at this time .

1) I agree wholeheartedly. A rear fingerprint scanner placed properly is better than anything up front.
The counterargument usually goes - if your phone is lying on your desk, then it is easier to unlock it without picking it up.
My counter-counterargument is that if you want to unlock the phone, because you saw a notification, you probably would want to pick it up anyway. In other words, if the phone is requiring your unlocked activities, you would probably want to pick it up.
One exception that immediately jumps to my mind - you see a Gmail notification, and you want to read the full text without picking up the phone... I suppose that happens. Sometimes.
2) T-Mobile is probably a very small carrier compared to Asia, where these phones are mostly sold.

Yes u can use a non OP cable and block but it won't fast charge.

Loss of led light stops me from 6t

Jack. No jack no joy.
I NEVER use lock with finger, for instance. I would be more happy with inclusion of SD reader....
Times.... ((

I previously had a Galaxy S8+, upgraded to Note8 and then upgraded to OnePlus 6. This is the first phone in ages that I've really liked, even though it has a bit smaller screen than I would really like.
Compared to the Samsung S8+/Note8:
The screen isn't as good as Samsungs in direct sunlight. On samsung I never had to brighten the screen to read on screen, but with OP6 it is necessary. No big deal though.
No SD-card slot.
No wireless charging.
But everything else is just simply better! Better battery life, snappier android, We've got PIE! samsung go eat your Oreos. Lots of customization with ROMs. Easy bootloader unlock and root, no hassle getting the latest official roms, no regrets from me, I'm on the OnePlus train now!

Sure. You can use regular cable, but the loading speed is slow.
Fast charging works with original charger only.

6T is supposed to have an even faster charger.

wtf? that's getting dropped too?!?
one more reason to go with the 6 than with the 6t.
what good reasons do you all see choosing the 6t over the 6?
that the notch is smaller?
that there is a bit more screen and less bezels?
the slightly bigger battery?
maybe waterproof and maybe wireless charging?
can't really find a reason that makes the 6t more interesting than the 6...

Without using the dash, are we talking like 3 hours to charge or like 2 hours

Reading all your comments.... I'm planning to update my OPO (still a great phone), but OP6 or OP6T.......and price will probably be +600€ :/

The OP6 can be had for 510$ while the 6T will cost around 550€.
If you want the jack and don't care about in-screen fp sensor, the OP6 is a better choice.

3aXL vs OP7pro? 3A ftw

I was going to get the OP7 pro but decided I'd try the Pixel. The price is great, especially with Best buy's 100.00 gift card they give you. 379.00 essentially. Only been 24 hours but so far it's been smooth and no hiccups. I was concerned about only 4gb of ram but haven't ran into any problems. not a huge multitasker and the games I play are minimal and simple. I'm usually on social media, text, email, and phone calls. I may still bite the bullet on the OP7 pro but I'll wait a while and see reviews and hopefully TMobile will have some demo units. That price and curved screen are making me 2nd guess that decision though. Coming from just having a 6T, I don't notice that I'm using an inferior processor and less ram. At least So far I don't.

This phone is a very good example of commodification, it's coming and I don't see anything that can stop it over the longer term. They fought this tooth and nail with PCs and they held on for quite a while but failed. I think the same will happen here. I was a hardcore phone guy, bought a new one every six months, sometimes more often than that. Always the best because the best was better, I'm talking about the kind of better that made your life a little easier every day. That's largely gone now. I traded my 3 XL for the 6T which came out a week after. I was in the Tmo store comparing them side to side and I simply could not come up with a reason why I should keep the 1k phone over the 6T which was just over half it's price. Sure the XL was better in some respects but it was also worse in some ways. Now here I am with an aXL and I don't see this trend changing.
This is just me, you may see it differently. The 7 Pro will be excellent. I'm looking at it myself but I have the feeling that I've gotten off the flagship treadmill and I'm not sure I want to get back on until something really new like foldables (that don't break before they can be released) are out there.

I agree word by word with you guys.

Oh my, that 7 looks pretty darn spiffy. Lust factor going through the roof... Down boy! DOWN!

I've had nearly every one plus device from the beginning including a 6 most recently and was planning on getting a 7 pro. But I thought about the things they improved: those were not the things that annoyed by about the 1+6. The 3a is a more well rounded phone with incredible software and I'm really enjoying the one I just picked up. Really impressed with the CPU, no studders or lag at all, it's just as fast as my OnePlus 6.

Huh, I don't see that. My 6T should be no better or worse than your 6 but when I hold them side to side and fiddle them it's no question faster. Thankfully if I'm just screwing around with this one by itself it feels fluid and satisfying for the most part, I do get some redraws and there is some hitching up at times doing things like opening the main menu but for all that it's not enough to trigger any dissatisfaction. I've had 3 OnePlus devices, like the Pixel in use they're better than they are on paper.

App load time is definitely shorter on the OnePlus and it holds way more apps in ram. I really meant that if using the pixel on its own (not side by side), it's not noticeably shower than the OP6. Really digging the software on the pixel, the built in speakers, and the haptic motor at the moment. Missing the flashlight gesture and double tap to wake

I thought 3a XL had double tap to wake, isn't it so?

The screen has to be on in some way for double tap to wake to work. Either ambient display or always on display. If your screen is totally off, double tap to wake doesn't work.

I assumed that, that is why I mentioned that I have AOD active, I always use AOD on devices that have that option and having DTW is a plus. On a different note, Google should add a way of turning off AOD at night, like most other manufactures do, I put a piece of paper on top of the proximity sensor to turn off AOD at night to achieve this xD

There's a setting within the Ambient Display to turn in DT2W. It seems to be independent of Ambient Display. For example, I have that box checked, but not AOD, and I can double tap to bring up Ambient Display. I can then double tap again to bring up the normal lock screen. So screen can be off as long as that box is checked.

You're right, it's "double tap to check phone". Good call!

So far, for a person who like higher end phones, this one here (considered a budget) phone is the best IMOP. Sure it lacks a few things. One it only has a screen resolution of 1080, as compare to other phones with higher resolutions.. But I asked my self, did I ever utilize those other screen resolutions? Answer No. So that is not a issue for me at all.. Next, Screen display this one has OLED compared to AMOLED, does it affect how I use the phone? Answer NO. This phone on Sprint, came with absolutely no bloat of any kind, which is a big plus for me. Every time I bought a phone, first thing I had to do was remove all that bloat, as I can't stand software on my phone, that I do not use but takes away to much resources.
The camera is excellent, picture are crisp and nice.. No lag in the shutter. When you hit that button, it takes the picture instantly like it should.. I also like the idea of have sound coming from the speaker that you have up against you head, during phone calls, and from the bottom speakers as well. This makes for very good sound.. My wife and daughter already complained it was waaaay to loud LOL. Yes it has less ram, and a slower cpu, but it is butter smooth and very responsive IMOP compared to the G7 ThinQ I still own, and it only cost less than $500.. This is what a phone should cost.
Now the G7 I believe was around $800 had it for about 6 months.. Sprint asked if I was going to trade it in. I asked how much? They said $68 dollars, are you freaking kidding me.. Heck I will get much, much more when I sell it on line and this phone is in mind condition... This is why it is a scam to sell these phone for such high margins, and yet in the end they depreciate I thing worse than a dam computer does..

To each their own - I got the 3a XL to hold me over and start my Verizon account before ordering the OP7 Pro...I'm having pretty long load times, and some apps themselves are just lagging quite a bit. Maybe I got a bad one, but performance wise, I haven't been impressed so far. UI wise, I love the Pixel stuff...though I wish their launcher had a damn import option. Either way, I'll probably keep it as a holdover/backup phone, but I can't wait until the OP gets here on Tuesday. That being said, for $379 I can't complain that much (I do think that's where these devices should sit price wise though). They should make them 299-379 permanently and they would sell insanely well. Still, the camera is amazing as always. Wonder what the Pixel 4 will bring to the table?

I just put my phone down with the screen side down. Of course I am using a glass protector and a case that has a small lip, so the actual screen doesn't contact my table.

I gave my op6 to my wife and got this pixel 3a xl . I've been using it for 3 months now and I'm big time ready to get back to OnePlus. Great camera on the pixel but thats about it. Under powered , not enough ram , and now with the update 10 4g problem I'm over this pixel.

I own both phones..it's really hard to compare these 2 phone models as there so much different. Pixel- I have owned both 1st and 2nd generation pixels prior to my 3a xl. I love the fast software updates and smooth ui even with only 4 gbs of RAM. My OnePlus 7 pro is fast.... really fast and that 90hz screen refresh rate is amazing. I Still really miss my Razer 2 with 120 hz refresh rate minus how boxy it was but all and all this thing is crazy fast. Last thing I might mention is it's heavy and kind of akward to hold not to mention the headache of trying to protect that curved screen though it does look beautiful.
Honestly I'm waiting until wireless charging and 5g are standard before I upgrade my phones again and with the Google updates every month for the next 2 years I think I'll keep my pixel XL 3a as a backup phone with an amazing camera, heck I got it for $350 so why not. My OnePlus 7 pro cost $650 just to compare prices. Hope this helps some people out. Don't hesitate to ask me anything since I own both currently.

I'm running with the same two phones, my OnePlus being my main personal device and my pixel being my business device. Both are great, and occasionally, I switch my sim cards back and forth. But for my apps and games, the OnePlus is, undoubtedly, the superior when it comes to performance. But man, those photos from the Pixel and screen calling are two things I just can't give up! In all honesty, both phones are fantastic and I think anyone who opts in for a Samsung or iPhone are missing out!

Oppo Find X2 Pro display issue

Hello,does anyone have a problem with green tint on Oppo the same as OnePlus 8 pro have. Interesting i had OnePlus 8 pro and have problems with green tint
I have sam problem with my Oppo Find X2 Pro. First didn't believe but after realised that have same problem. I bought another one and much lower but still exists. That can be noticeable on Chrome dark theme on 10-15% level brightness

No I am ok with my CPH2025 UAE model.

No Problem here too CPH2025 EU

Very strange,i am glad that you don't have any issue,my device is EU model from Germany,both of them have same problem. First one have much more issue than this one. Both of them i unpack,new sealed...at day light it's hard to see but you must be in absolute dark environment and open Chrome,dark mode,close all tabs and bring device to 10-15% brightness. And watch carefully display colour. Is it all grey or have some variations to another colour, somewhere lighter somewhere darker?

Yep, had 2x OP8 Pro and 2x Find X2 pro and all had issues in absolute dark with min brightness
+ dark band from punch hole
It was more prominent on OnePlus
OP8 Pro bought directly from OnePlus
X2 pro bought from German dealers
Sent from my OPPO Find X2 Pro using XDA Labs

Ok,but really need dark environment. I can send some screenshots. I know it's hard to see but after some messages the shop ask me to come and check. They didn't believe but when they check they give me new device. I unpack new one actually this and it's much better than previous one but still have some tints...i hope i will not start to hate this device...also maybe you don't see anything because screenshot take photo of what is shown on software but physical light made problem. When i watching on my daughter Samsung photo which i send can't see anything but on mine i can see...

I just learned to live with it because for me these two were still the best devices on the market at that time

Agree man. But i am wondering is there any device without that problem i will get it ???. But if all are effected it's ok than.

Everyone that tells you that they don't have an issue are either lying or ignorant. Also you think it's bad now? Turn on DC Dimming (Low-brightness flicker-free eye comfort) and then have a look ?
OP8/Pro and Find X2/Pro have the same Samsung display, even S20 variants and Note20 have the same grey low brightness uniformity issue it just depends how well they hide it. Supposedly the technology for AMOLED screens isn't up to par to keep the quality consistent at 120 Hz refresh rate. Now don't misunderstand me - it isn't right and I don't feel like playing silicon lottery with my 1000€ device and if someone gets proof the issue is here because of cutting costs I'm all for class action lawsuit/forcing them to make a new and better batch but so far it seems like we're part of a screen "beta" test. Still the calibration seems better on the Oppo flagship so get that one if you don't mind the locked bootloader and find a lower priced model.

Agree man with all you said. I feel the same. I paid 1000€ and really don't like to see display like that. As you said do something and hide it ??. 3 x Oppo 1 orange two black have dame issue more or less noticeable 1 of two OnePlus have catastrophic issue but second one i think he have almost no issue . I would like to know is there any way to do to made this gone?

That's what I'm talking about. It's not big deal but we didn't get devices for free. It's pretty nice price. They should fix that

Question Backup phone for pixel 7 pro?

Helloz
I haven't been able to make my mind so i decided to see what u guys think.
So now im rocking a 256gb pixel 7 pro.
My old phone was one plus 7 pro which is still in a very good shape. Like my all phones it was rooted.
My wife's old phone is an galaxy note 20 ultra which is in a good shape as well but not rooted.
I have to give out one of them and keep one.
Im really confused.
The OnePlus 7 pro with its no hole punch screen and its huge huge support and mod community. I really like the privacy of having a popup front camera. Note that i had to root my phone to get volte.
On the other the note 20 ultra. Damn this phone is one heck of a piece of hardware. I think the version we have is the oxynos. This phone is supported in my country and many others without any modifications or rooting. So here its advantages are, 5g, volte, esim capabilities.
What do u guys think?

I have oneplus7pro, the best phone so far,
but it is a time to move to the newer one,
and pixel 7 pro has the best software support and the easiest way to get root and other things.
however, that useless hole on the middle of the screen is highly annoying.

I have a OnePlus 7T and have been thinking of going back to it, it fully supports 2-SIM w/Different RingTones. Unfortunately, the last OS update for it was v12/12.1 and was pushed out in Nov/Dec 22. The only thing keeping me from going back is the Cameras on the Pixel 7 Pro. If you're doubting to get a Pixel 7 Pro - get the OnePlus 10 Pro instead.

Samsung note 20 is clearly the better device for multiple reasons.

Those a cool phones, have a coworker using one of them and the stylus pen appears to work great if you're taking inventory on new equipment.

I have personally used many OnePlus phones including the 7 Pro. I have had several Samsung phones all of which were sent back for various flaws too numerous to discuss here. Every OnePlus phone has been excellent for me! I highly recommend that you stay with the OnePlus phone because they just work! YMMV

Genuine question here:
Are you deducing that no face unlock would be a win...? Or do you just greatly prefer the sliding front facing camera (so that it's not always visible)?

never used and I genuinely will not ever use face unlock.
I'm using front camera only for video calls and would prefer low quality under display camera somewhere on the very top corner.
It is highly annoying that manufacturers cannot deliver this simple solution.

Gotcha, thanks. Just note that it is *not* a simple solution to put a modern front facing camera at either of the front corners of the display (due to hardware restrictions). The only way to do so in a simple manner would prevent the front facing camera from being utilized properly without holding the phone in landscape mode - which I don't imagine many people would feel comfortable doing =/

It's not a simple solution because almost no one has your needs. Most people want Face unlock. And they want it to work. They demand more out of a Front Facing Camera than a low quality video call device

I don't and will never use a front facing camera for unlocking my device, but I have to agree with you. People want a front-facing camera for that face. Unlock in for high quality video calls with family and friends. Also, putting a camera under the display so you can't see it should not be assumed to be "simple."
We often lose sight of what it took to develop and make these devices that we use from the planning, the development, the gathering of the raw materials, the engineering, etc. Are truly marvelous feats. That can be said for almost everything around us that we take for granted! We are very blessed and lucky to be living in this time!

And from whence did you glean this tidbit?
I never used it, and I have no desire to use it. In fact everyone I know does not use it!
Hmmmm?

The huge number of people that demanded it on the Pixel 6 Pro. Then the number that complained about how slow it was at first.
Feel free to go look at that forum.
What YOU want is not what most people want. And BTW, that camera is barely noticeable. I have the Energy ring and I still barely see it.
