i love the size and style of this phone and i would like to give huawei a try...one plus one seems to big and is getting very common.......should i go for honor 6 or save up for one+..is it worth it?
do you think that one plus one's massive specs have any practical use..i think 40k antutu score of honor 6 is more than enough.
is there any scope of strong xda support for honor 6 like we have for one plus one ?
hy,
... wait for huawei P8 ...
i think will a nice surprice:
- better camera, better standby, more compact size

Go for one+. Simply due to better dev support. Huawei doesn't really release all it's sources which make it very difficult for devs. I mean honor6 users will be stuck on Kitkat forever if huawei doesnt release official Lollipop whereas the 1+ is rocking stable and fast CM12 builds!
You could wait for 1+ 2 though. But it could be a long wait and and it'll be more expensive than 1+ one. So it's ur choice
I am leaning towards Honor 6 simply because I do not want a 5.5" screen. I find that too big.
My concern about Honor 6 is whether 16GB is enough as I am currently on a 32GB Xiaomi Mi2. I might just go for a 32GB Honor 6 H60-L12 shipped directly from China.

You have to check which 3G/4G bands are used in your country. For example, in Europe, the One+ supports only the 4G band 2600 (and not the 800 and 1800 ones that are also used), whereas the honor6 (L04) supports all of them (and the L12 supports 2600 and 1800 but not 800).
The European version of Honor (L04) has a micro sd slot so the space is not a problem.
Apparently, the L12 does not have this slot but has two simcards.
Nonetheless, as shubham1120 said, the dev on honor is much more difficult to do that on One+ (that means no upgrade if Huawei does not want so).

You wrong, L02/L12 have 2 sim slots and 1 micro sd slot.

Sorry, corrected.
I understand why you want dev support. But we have CM11 which works flawless most of the time. What else could you want? Most custom ROM's are either based off the stock ROM, which no one really wants for the Honor 6, or based off a CM version. We are only behind by 1 release (CM12) so it's not that bad. The phone is great.
Currently, I have narrowed down to Moto X 2014 and Honor 6. With my workplace sponsoring me for my next mobile, I am very tempted to go with the higher priced Moto X 2014. I am basically just holding back on a 5.5" screen which I find to be far too big. Otherwise, I would have gotten OnePlus One a few months back.
on my preference, the only lacking feature on this phone is the tap to wake gesture. that is a must have on a newly released phone atleast last years releases. even the honor 6 plus and the 4x got this feature

If Honor 6 Plus has that feature, I am not sure why Honor 6 doesn't has it. Perhaps all it takes is a software update to enable the feature?

Moto turbo then! 3900 mah is just sick!!
Also, faster updates (of course if u care about it)
I think huawei honor 6 is better than one plus one.
I own both honor 6 and OPO...Which device you want is based on your use..If you are a hardcore flasher and love the droid development and want to be ahead in terms of updates than you should start saving money for OPO..and believe me its worth to wait for invite also...But...but...if you are a casual user and want a good camera and battery life with hardcore gaming than go for honor 6 loaded with CM 11 of codeworkx...!!
Anything else??

I asked my friend to bring me a 6plus from China recently. The screen size is a bit big. And I do not really like emui. The battery is great.
OnePlus One, simply for a better UI and dev support

Just got a dual sim 32gb fdd-lte from China.
Coming from a galaxy s5 and a nexus 5, this phone is really smooth.
I wasn't expecting such performance from a mid range phone - I had also been using a Gionee M3/BLU Studio Energy, but the mid range mediatek processor and 1gb of ram really let it down - performance was shocking.
I ran Antutu benchmark and came out with 44,900 .. just shy of 45k .. beating out the oneplusone and S5.
fully stock with some preinstalled apps frozen, no root, no unlocked bootloader
loving it so far .. it is the same weight as the N5 but a little taller and thinner. amazing that they fit in such a large battery.
There is also that tempered glass screen protector which adds capacitive buttons and some shortcut buttons which i am waiting for (in the mail) but that should free up some more screen real estate.
am thinking of rooting just to adblock and run xposed framework.
Please help me. I want to buy a new phone, but not really sure which one to pick. My favorite is Huawei Mate 8. I am also thinking about OnePlus 2, LETV LE MAX and Elephone Vowney High. I am looking for the highest performance. Advise me which one of theese or add another thanks
i would say choose between oneplus and huawei mate 8. since oneplus and huawei especially make a huge entrance in the market. i bought a honor 4x for my mother cause her phone died and she is more than pleased with it. so pick between those 2 if you also look for some custom rom support and root (i think you do if you are around on xda) cheers
i wanted mate 8, but i found that it has kirin processor, so no custom rom :/
or is it possible?
I suggest you the oneplus 2
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
Hi,
I don't know if it's allowed to ask for phone advice but I saw some topics in the same category.
I will buy one of the listed phones:
One Plus 5
Huawei Mate 9
Huawei P10
Xiaomi Mi 6
Since all of them has great performance, I am focused on battery life and camera performance. Which one should I buy?
Camera and battery, P10

So we all know the op6 is coming soon and many of us are hoping to upgrade our outdated devices,but with Oneplus success in the market in recent years, their prices are continuosly going up,,maybe by small amounts on each phone,may be a big rise with the op6,we don't know yet
Anyway.What if the op6 launches with a price you cant afford.
What alternative devices have you in mind.
I have more or less decided that I will get a nokia 7 plus if the op6 is too expensive because it has what I need.Big battery and promise of frequent updates.Ive considered the honor view 10 and mi mix 2s also
What other mid to high range devices are you considering if tbe op6 is out of reach ?
ASUS Zenfone 5
only galaxy s9+ with unlocked bootloader.
The Nokia 7 Plus is going to be way cheaper than the OP6. It's cheaper than the OP5 and OP5T.
At its price, I don't think you can beat the Nokia 7 Plus but then again you need to consider what is or isn't important to you. OnePlus will have an awesome Development scene which there isn't with Nokia (unless it starts to develop and is contingent on unlocked bootloader and kernel sources being released).

What about the hardware? How can you ever bring this as an alternative?
Snapdragon 660? 4gig ram?
In this case xiaomi mi a1 is better, Android one
Huawei honor 10
Xiaomi mi 7

I dont know where you fo your shopping mate but ehere I am to he 5 t is €499,
The 7+ is retailling at 3€399,not a massive difference.I sgree that Oneplus is more developer friendly but I would put the nokia 7 plus in that mid range section snd it will surely be much cheaper than tbe op6

In the UK the Nokia 7 Plus is £349.99. The 64gb OnePlus 5T is £449.
My logic is that the OnePlus flagships have been going up around £50 each year so the OnePlus 6 is likely to start at £499 and you were asking for the difference between the OnePlus 6 and alternatives. The Nokia 7 Plus is 30% cheaper.
Edit: I would note that I think the Nokia 7 Plus looks like a really good phone and would be tempted by it too.
Potentially consider the Asus ZenFone 5Z as another alternative but I think that is £499 also. If you're looking for the 845 processor, I can't really think of any other good options. Depends on what's important to you.

Yes absolutely you are right,20 to 30% difference in price of 5t and 7+ depending what country your in.It will be interesting to see what happens with the op6,but as you say it will certainly be higher.
I have been researching a lot of different devices to replace my op3 lately.I look at all the reviews,watch the youtube videos and join the forums to see what users are saying.
If I was to buy a phone now based on hardware alone and value for money Id go for the Honor view 10 with the kerin 970,but Honor are poor with updates.The Zenphone 5z looks great,but I dont think it will be available in UK/Ireland till July.It will though be cheaper than the op6 and 5t.
The Nokia 7+ is out May 2nd on Amazon,Im hoping the op6 is announced before then so I can make an informed decision,but could be ridiculous prices in which case Ill happily go for the 7+ which should be more than good enough for day to day use, especially as a non gamer.I don't play around with Roms as much as I use to and will be happy eith tbe long battery life and regular updates.
I do like oxygen os though and Oneplus are great with updates and theres a great community.Will be interesting to see what happrns within tbe next month or two
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.
Better: Camera, no notch, big screen, Project Treble (i'm not sure), and price imo
Worse: IPS screen, no 3.5mm Jack, Almost the same battery of the OP5
EDIT: I was wondering and just realized that every year, OnePlus makes a very well made flagship phone with latest soc, etc. and little additions (dual camera, now water resistance) it's all nice and good. The only deal thing is the price. I like OnePlus, (had the 3 and now the 5) and i understand that they make better and better every year, so it's obvious that it needs to cost more. I'll definitely buy the 6, in the end there are no alternatives sadly

same here looks like the 6 is going to be too expensive for me and the honor 10 does look really inviting now that it has been announced
If OnePlus 6 is a flagship killer, let's see what are available at the flagship level in my country at 64GB variant
835:
Pixel 2 XL - Rs.57,995
LG V30+ - Rs.44,990 (Only 128GB)
Nokia 8 Sirocco - Rs.49,900
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - Rs.67,900
Mi Mix 2 - Rs.32,999 (Only 128GB)
845:
OnePlus 6 - Expected around Rs.35,000
Samsung Galaxy s9/s9+ - Rs.57,900 / Rs.64,900
Kirin 970:
Honor v10 - Rs.29,999 (Only 128GB)
Huawei P20 Pro - Expected around Rs.50,000
Huawei P20 - Expected around Rs.30,000
The only problem which I see out for OP6 is the territory it's venturing into. Those who are spending north of 30k won't mind spending extra for getting what they needed. Mediocre Camera will definitely kill OP6 on arrival since every single unit there gives you the best. If Huawei P20 Pro comes around 40k. It'll cannibalize OP6 hands down. But i think Huawei P20 might be in OP6 territory and might give some serious trouble for them.

For customization, I agree. OnePlus just does that better than all the other Android based smartphones out there. For other features though, I'm getting less and less impressed by their offerings each year, and when they get too expensive, I'll simply stop getting them,. I'll probably still get the 6 though, but if their prices get as high as iPhone level, I'm out.
I know it's not a new phone, as it's been out a while, but I quite liked the Razer Phone. So might get one of those if the OP6 doesn't impress me enough. But let's wait and see.
