Overall love - Nokia 7.2 Real Life Review

Charging speed is slow, would rather have faster charging speeds (atleast 18W), camera could've been better.

It's really a great phone. Good quality overall and absolutely stable. Battery needs recharging after two days (in my case; calling, surfing, reading / writing e-mails, etc.).
However, the ringing volume is too loud even at the lowest level setting (the volume slider has just a few increments, so you cannot fine-tune the volume). On the other hand, the call volume could be higher.

Heat

Some phones are great to take camping because if you play Asphalt 8 long enough, the back warms up to the ideal temperature that can bake bread. Rate this thread to express the extent to which the Huawei Nexus 6P stays cool under extended heavy use. A higher rating indicates that even when playing strenuous games for long periods of time, the phone doesn't get uncomfortably warm.

I think the large size of the 6P helps to dissipate heat. Seldom does the phone warm up except when doing a lot of video, and even then it's warm, not hot.
Actually doesn't get that hot. only twice it got warm. initial set up and once in my car on a warmer than average day.
Find it no better or worse than other phones i have owned
Have not noticed any overheating in the least bit.
It can get warm but hardly hot like Samsung phones.
I haven't been able to get my phone to top 38C. The only way it hit that was after about half hour of continued gaming use, which I don't think is hot.
I don't have any real world temperature readings but it seems to get uncomfortably warm to hold against your ear when you are on a call for a long time. Plus playing games or watching videos ramps up the temperature quickly.
In normal usage the heat is low and the phone flies but even only somewhat intensive games definitely heat up the phone faster and the framerate suffers.
Phone does warm up on not so intensive tasks. A bright screen would do this. It's definitely not what I'd describe as 'hot' ala my Z3. However... I believe the phone throttles the performance quite a lot when it gets warm.
Exactly the same than other phones i have owned
interesting how people have diferent opinions.
this phone gets HOT, not if its sitting on the table and if ur facebooking, but use the camera for 10-15min straight, or navigation in a car, or skype, it gets hot that I cant put it on my face afterwards.
But same **** happens with Note5 as well, they are just very powerfull devices.
But saying it doesnt get hot is a straight forward LIE.
The 6P only got quite hot during initial setup.
similar heat with other s810 machine for mine

i had the note 4 was overheating so much that i cant hold it
It does get a tad warm, but nothing compared to my S4 which was literally hot
It's normal.
The nexus 6p has surprised me. My initial thoughts when i first setup my device was this device gets hot. It's almost been almost a month and I've got to say this device is just like any other device. I still believe the nexus 6p does a better job of heat dissipation than other smartphones
My 6P never really goes over 40 degrees Celsius.

well made phone, doesn't feel flimsy. SD810 doesn't seem to have the heat issues, screen could be a little better outside, battery life is great, the notification slider on the side is brilliant idea. Oxygen OS by itself sucks but with Xposed and several modules made the phone tons better.
Nice nice phone. I don't regret it!
Battery
Battery standby is extreme long. Tested it: in 12hours lost 3%. (Wi-Fi and Mobile Network was permamently active in my test)
But the active display standby is ~~~ lame.
Its got bit warm than my one+1 but it's ok.
Chasis/Design
The Chasis of phone is real AlMg. You can brake someones nose with that (not tested! )
It feels good in my hands, a bit heavier than one+1
Buyed with Kevlar StyleSwap Cover. Too bad, it's not fitting perfectly but it sit.
Sound
Speakers are louder than my laptop speakers. Clear Sound, no scratches heared.
Speed test and stability
Fast app start, smooth scrolling, switches fast between the apps.
Antutu Benchmark test:
Test run fine with over 55fps average.
With fully installed apps, games, tools etc..
Benchmark result: >58000
Camera/Video
Photo quality is very good. Takes pictures faster as one+1 and in good quality. nothing to say negative about it.
Videos are in good quality too. You can take slow-motion videos too (720p with 120fps)
SD Card
It's a bit faster as in one+1!
~3451MB (28183 files) Recovery backup done in 74 sec.
64MB/s Read/Write speed.
For a phone with 64GB internal memory it's enough speed.
Well. That's all importand tests i have done. If i have missed something, write it down here. i try to answer.
EDIT:
Very easy to unlock bootloader. Same way as in one+1.
Done it in under 5 minutes
On my old phone it was a real ass-disaster... (Xperia S) Never ever again
There are minor software glitches. But I expect everything to be fine in coming months. More than decent performance
love...mostly
i like the oneplus 2 overall, but not yet real excited about oxygen and updates only about once a month since purchase.
the type c connector seems to be usb type 2. OP apparently neglected to make accessory cables (power & otg) for the type c connection on 1+2, except power cable that comes w/phone. this, as of dec., 2015.
For otg: apparently you must go backwards to their usb type 2 otg (made for 1+1) and use their adapter from micro usb to type c connector.
tried a 3rd party otg type c that is usb 3.1: incompatable. perhaps update will fix this (i hope, since i
want to be able to use a flash drive w/phone since it has no micro sd slot). snc
I can try many roms
I can try many roms

Awesome phone
overall. i m very dissapointed with this phone. Beautiful hardware with strong internals, the oos just make this phone extremely slow
Really love the phone since i installed CM 13
That runs really smooth and fast + great batterylife
I don't know if my OPT is defective, the speaker volume is very low. youtube videos or music is "ok" but especially ringtones are very low, I can't hear them outside of my house. At work in my pants it's impossible to hear and feel the phone because the vibration isn't strong enough. If Frenk_Ryder writes that the speaker is louder then the notebook speakers it's hard to believe for me. really?
and the battery life is horrible on my device. plugged it off the charger on 6 am and have only 20 percent on 12 pm with 2 - 3 hours SOT. I'm using the unofficial mahdi builds of cm13. the performance is good but Android System seems to be a battery hogger. I don't know why or what's the problem.
oxygen OS lacks much features of Cyanogen OS or Cyanogenmod and is "not complete at all", and Android System always is on top of the battery stats list. what is the issue for that? I mean Oxygen OS 2.2.0, older versions may be better in terms of battery life?
I hope anyone can help me with my device. thx
Was contemplating going with the Galaxy S6, but the Notification Slider was a real deal-maker for me (especially being loyal to the Galaxy lineup since S1).
Now owning the 1+2, I noticed I can not discreetly silent my phone in my pocket without taking it out and drawing attention in a meeting).
Have any of you found the Notification Slider to be a lot more useful than you originally thought it to be?

When does the issue appear about the volume speaker ?
For the battery life, try another rom ( CM13, Skydragon, H2O, .. )

tried almost all the roms, some have something or the other missing, others have serious battery drain some have wifi issues, others camera is bull****. I miss my z2 so much and i will sell my op2 and get a nexus 7 or whatever its called, when its released
awesome, just needs a bit of software polish...
Near flawless
I have had many phones, mostly Samsungs and LGs. Let me tell you this Oneplus 2 is the perfect phone. WIth the latest OOS 3.0.1 MM, Xposed with Gravitybox, and nova launcher on top, it's a brilliant setup. This thing gets higher scores than the Nexus 6p on every benchmark i've tested, I can game for at least 33 minutes straight of Nova3 (that's the longest straight time I've played any game so far) and no overheating and NO lagging or slowdowns. I don't understand the controversy over overheating and throttling, perhaps the latest models being manufactured are the best models. Overall, I love this phone, also, battery life is incredibly for me. I go two days without one charge and that's using texting about 500 sms a day and web browsing, light youtube, and light music, ON wifi. I've never had a phone quite like it, and for 350 bucks! Awesome.:good::good::good:
Coming from a clapped out Nexus 4, I wanted to really like my One Plus 2 (Oxygen OS 2.2.1) but it was hard; a perfectly adequate phone, but not overwhelming.
The Marshmallow upgrade to Oxygen 3.0.2 has made it the phone it should always have been. It's faster, the fingerprint unlock is better and instantaneous (and no need to wake the device first), the occasional stutters have stopped, the battery lasts longer on standby.
The two standout features for me, however, are not software. Firstly, the alert slider is brilliant. Secondly, there are plenty of cheap Dual SIM phones but few decent ones (in the UK at least).
I only got access to the true potential of the sd810 after switching to a custom rom & kernel
Its Great phone overall.
I guess the sales could be much larger quantities if there were not invites.

I have developed a great degree of love for this phone, especially since it got a wealth of custom ROMs. It performs well, the battery life is excellent, it doesn't prevent me from installing custom ROMs or rooting, and all-in-all I love it. It handles everything I throw at it like a champ, and doesn't complain, and all for less than $300
its a good phone, but i had few hard times because of lack software updates from manufacturer (no android 7.0, no android 7.1, nothing) like on every other non-google phone, but thats life i finally fixed all major issues and it simply works, so i like it again

Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Nokia 6's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
1 day in light use!
4 days on light use,like viewing twiter,one or two clips on YouTube,checking weather,mails,facebook,instagram,+other social media.
Plus some photos with camera.
Build 00WW_3_72A Battery optimisation
Dunno what black magic they pulled in this build but it's very nice!
Got 5 days of usage on a single charge - audiobooks, daily web browsing, emails etc.
Big thank you to @qwertysmerty for the hook-up :good:
Final Nougat (Build 00WW_3_72A_SP01)
February Oreo Public (Build Number 00WW_5_22A)
March Oreo Public (Build 00WW_5_22A_SP01)
Just updated to 8.1.0, though I suspect battery usage will be in-line with the other Oreo builds, we shall see.

device tents to become a little warm when using the camera, no other issues
Doesn't heat much unlike honor 8.
I read a few reviews saying that it heats a lot even during normal use (browsing, downloading apps...). I also read Huawei was supposed to push an update to fix that problem. Any feedback would be very much appreciated.
Seeing as the Honor 9 has a glass and metal sandwich construction. It's quite normal for it to get quite hot when it's being used heavily.
Doesn't heat that much..
No significant heat at all.
It gets hot on heavy using. In place where honor logo on back is
The temperature on charge and use is okay is normally.
On no Charge and use is normally againg no problem.
This depends on how you use your device. I have not experience much heat on my Honor 9, but I don't use it as much for gaming.

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Elephone S8's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

Battery lasts a couple of hours, 22 hours playing a game on minimum brightness is nothing but a pipe dream for this phone. 4 year old oneplus one battery performs better than this battery.
The 2K screen, while the best thing about the phone, is the real energy hog. If I need longer stand-alone battery life, I use ADB to drop the resolution to 1080p. I get about a 30%-40% boost that way.

That's interesting, what the hell did they make the screen out of, 2000 year technology. The battery is rubbish, I think it's the batteries quality, it's like you have Duracell and then you have £1 discount Kodak batteries where you get 20 in a pack this is the latter. What's the point in in having a 2K screen of you can't use it, do you know what I mean? I have to charge it up 3 times a day with moderate gaming, YouTube ect on low brightness. I could have get a better spec phone 6gm ram Snapdragon SoC with 1080p screen but the 2K blows all their screen out of the water.
3 Times a day?! maybe you should give it a factory reset. That shouldn´t be normal. Maybe the battery life is not the best in comparsion to other 4000mah phones ... but i get at least 2 days with a screen on time around 4-6hours before i have to charge the device. An thats @ Stock rom, the eragon rom should boost this even further.
I agree. If you're charging it 3 times a day, either your phone has an issue or your usage patterns aren't as moderate as you think they are.
average
I use my phones for radio/streaming in the car using android auto. I have to keep my s8 plugged in else the battery just gets eaten
