Hey Mediapad owners,
I'm an owner of a Silver P8 Max and i was wondering which one was better.
Obviously the P8 Max has the better processor. but besides that i believe everything else is basically the same.
I kinda feel like i should trade down for the bigger screen and the battery, also i feel like the Mediapad is maybe closer to having a possible stock androidish rom created if it does ever happen.
Just let me know how you guys feel about you X2
Thanks

Hi
I was considering purchasing the P8 Max but when I considered the differences between them, I decided to opt for the X2 as I wanted the largest possible screen. I am delighted with my choice and would not consider switching to the P8 Max now.

According to some websites the P8 Max has Band 12 LTE support and will work on T-Mobile which is a plus. The P8 Max is less wide due to the 16:9 aspect ratio of the screen vs. the 16:10 aspect ratio on the X2. I was thinking of getting a P8 Max as well but the battery isn't as large as the X2's. The X2 having the wider screen is better for web browsing in landscape mode but most videos have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen due to the 16:10 aspect ratio. The P8 Max also has gorilla glass 3 and the X2 does not.
For my part the deciding factor was the wider screen and the battery in favor of Mediapad X2.,both of this factors were fully justified.

Lets me say a few simple words: Battery life!
Gorilla glass is all good and well but anybody with a brain does not keep there phone in a easy to damage location.
Even basic glass is plenty strong. A large part of Gorilla glass is advertisement, making people feel good.
And yes, 16:10 means you may have a black bar with movies. Solution: Have your player play with 16:9 mode and you lose a few percentage on the sides. You will not notice if you do not deliberately pay attention to it.
On the other hand, you have more screen area for websites, comics and just about anything else.
Put the phone in 280DPI mode and suddenly you have a full blown tab browser and everything in desktop rendering ( and still perfectly readable )
Even coming from a Sony Z Ultra with 6.4" 1080p 320DPI, its a massive difference that this 7" 1200p 280DPI makes.
O ... and all that will allowing you to spend DAYS without looking at a power charger.
And frankly, i am sure the battery life can be even more improved if the 4G an be switched to 2G when your screen is off ( lets face it, 4G is useless when your phone is waiting for mail messages/text messages etc ).
I think I'm going to buy a media pad x2 from honormi.com and sell my p8 max

Yea... See this guide that i wrote last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/mini-guide-adb-installation-usage-t3183906
Works like a charm. The same i can not say about the EUI that shows some bugs if you do not run the standard 400 resolution.
400 dpi seems to be working best, the others including 280 dpi, are not working well, eg: a folder icon is looking huge comparing to the other icons.

That is because the default launcher from Huawei is set to 400 dpi. Use a alternative launcher and some of those problems go away. Unfortunately a lot is hard coded in Huawei there EUI software / settings.
The difference is best noticed in real applications that are not set to a fixed dpi.
The most important difference between them is the price

As usual with Huawei, you have different models under the same name, designed to various geogrpahic area:
Huawei P8max series:
P8max DAV-701L (4G LTE: 2100/1800MHz, source huawei th)
P8max DAV-702L (4G LTE: B1 / B3 / B7, source huawei jp)
P8max DAV-703L
P8max DAV-713L
but I have a lot of trouble to find some huawei sources for the LTE bands of each models, as third party web sites are usually wrong about that (when they precise the model number, wich is quite rare!!)
Hi! I am interested in buying a P8MAX. You've given me something to think about... I have never bought a phone not straight from Verizon so I am completely clueless about where to purchase an X2 for use in the USA. I am not a developer by any stretch of the imagination. I will use it as is out of the box. I realize that I will have to switch cell providers but don't know which one would best support either the P8max or the X2. Anyone have good experience with one they can recommend? I did message with someone in Virginia (same state that I am in) with a P8MAX who said that he uses Cricket with good results except that he gets 4G and not 4G LTE... any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

You will only get 3G on T-mobile and AT&T with the X2. I think the same with the P8 Max (unless it has band 12 which you will get LTE on T-Mobile anywhere they upgraded to band 12. The X2 is cheaper so it's a better deal.
Noone is mentioning that the P8max comes in max 64GB ROM but X2 is only 32GB ROM. I just had an issue with not having enough ROM memory on my 16GB Note2 and had to delete some apps! I don't root or modify my phone in any way - don't know how! So how important is that extra 32GB in the P8max?

Totally non-important because you can simply buy a 64GB SD card for 25 euro, giving you 96GB of data space on the X2. Or you can buy a 128GB card... Had 16GB+64GB SD on my ZU, still had 6GB left on my ZU's internal flash with two years of programs installed. The 32GB flash on the X2 made me lazy because i did not even remove the navigation maps to the SD card. *lol*
By the way: ROM stands for Read Only Memory.
Hi! Thanks for explaining ROM to me. Shows how little I know! But I have a 64GB sdcard in my Note2 (largest allowed, I believe) but my 16 GB internal phone memory (?) Got used up by (really, not too many) apps! All my files, pictures, etc. Are on the 64GB card! I really was shocked when I got the message!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
I have had issues with not enough memory on 16GB devices but never on 32GB devices. I use the internal ROM for Apps and an SD card for data such as photos. 64GB is overkill if you have an SD card as well.
One saving grace for the P8max is that it has OIS for the camera. This would show up in the quality of photos taken on it vs others with no OIS.
As it's a poor quality IPS, does the screen have any ghosting? I can't find an answer in any review. My old Oneplus 3T and dirt cheap Mi Max 2 also had IPS screens but they had zero ghosting, then I bought a Mate 20 which cost 3x more yet that DOES have ghosting, so if a high-end phone has ghosting it's likely the Zenfone 6 does too, especially if most people are saying it's a poor quality IPS.
This is the only video that mentions it has ghosting but it's the one guy, so I wanted more opinions to confirm:

I had the G5S+, where I noticed ghosting. Coming to the zenfone I was concerned about the same stuff but there is significantly less ghosting on this screen. I'm actually not sure there are ghosting, if it is its miniscule.

yes the way he describes it is exactly how I feel about my Mate 20, I'm thinking it might be using the same display. It's an amazing screen but as soon as I start scrolling text and images becomes blurry and I've never seen it this bad since the early 2000s LCD screens.

Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, Xperia Z2, Lenovo P2, G5S+ and this Zenfone 6.
I just tested it side by side with the HTC U11, it's actually more fluid than that one. Though I believe it has slightly smaller viewing angles.
I also think it's PWM free, it's quite ok to watch for longer periods. For comparison, the display on the LG G7 gave me a weird sensation (that one had PWM).

The G7 used PWM at a frequency of 1,174Hz, and then only at 42% brightness and below. If you're capable of noticing that you should go talk to Guinness about your record-breaking visual abilities.
I'm just curious on why people choose the 8 over the 8 pro, I have ordered the 8 and my reasoning was the size, I currently have the OnePlus 6 which already feels big to me and anything bigger would be impossible for me to use with one hand.
I chose it because of the price difference (£200 for slighly faster memory and better cameras) and the fact that, from a OnePlus 5, the enhancements would be so good, I wouldn't need the small extras that the OP8Pro would give me. So far, I haven't been disappointed. I didn't think about the size.
Alan
The reason on my side was the height and especially the weight. I already had in the past an oneplus 7 pro and I sold it because it was too heavy (206gr).
Since then I own a galaxy note 10 and the size and weight is totally in line with me, hence my choice for the standard oneplus 8.
I'm debating between the 8 and the pro and I was wondering if the screen issues being reported on the pro are also found on the regular 8. Is anyone with an 8 experiencing screen issues?

The ones being discussed on the pro side of the house:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-8-pro/how-to/terrible-screen-tint-uniformity-t4084539
For me it was the size, especially the width. 72mm + case is comfortable to hold and use with one hand but 75 with a case i can't handle.
If you don't care about the width i recommend the 7t. I think is the better option for the price.
I have no issues with my screen btw.
no issue on my oneplus 8 screen too
Cost
No issues on my screen when I put the display brightness right down.
Thanks all, I appreciate the feedback!
Am in the same boat. Really concerned about the size of the pro so considering the 8. However the screen technology on the pro is better so really torn!
Just got my 8 today was torn as well but prefer the smaller form factor and a extra £200 just for wireless charging that's not important for me don't use anyway and IP rating is not a issue and with all the issues with displays in the pro glad I did the difference from 90hz to 120hz is minimal yet from 60hz to 90hz is a lot more noticeable
Camera again ok might be bit better but only take odd snap so not issue even £100 for extra 4gb ram isn't essential really and that green is yuck if was nice amber gold or red (sure to be some point in future ) might have forked up another £100 so far no issues with display so all good and good choice for me personally [emoji16]

The main thing for me is price with the same performance. I don't use wireless charging. And No issues with the display too.
For me it's :
Price difference
Size
No screen factory installed protector for the pro amazon UK.
Having had both phones in my hands, the regular is definitely more comfortable and haven't seen any performance drops between the 2. Definitely the 200 extra for the pro isn't worth it.
Because it's all I could get on a Jump upgrade from T-Mobile
Was my only option In a sense as my carrier (red) only sells the 8. Is nice to see peeps choosing da reg OP8 over the Pro as I almost just went with a LG instead. For the fact there's nothing extra I see that justifies that 100$ hike n price outside of mm mave capable. My understanding was vzw's version was to be the 12gb/256 but it is not
I got the 8 Pro for myself, but I ordered the 8 for my wife for the Interstellar Glow.

Which camera did u use to take the pic?
I have a OP-5t and ordered the 4a a couple weeks ago. I was worried the screen might be a lot smaller, but I ordered a screen protector and took a couple photos on top of my 5t. The blue frame is an alignment tool with inside opening the 4a screen size. I was surprised the 4a actually has more screen in the height, and really not much less in the width. The overall size of the 4a it's a lot smaller, and lighter. I don't have it yet, but I think I made a good choice!
I am coming from a OnePlus 3T and even though the 3T is bigger, it's noticeably smaller in screen size due to the bezels. I love the 4a's screen and color tones so much more and couldn't be happier for such a great phone for the price.
I just got my pixel 4a today and was also coming from a op5t.
The frame of the 4a is larger than the screen (vertically), but the actual screen of the 4a is not larger than the screen of the 5t in either direction. It's pretty close vertically but definitely smaller horizontally. The 4a is noticeably smaller, but it's also easier to hold and manage, and it's significantly lighter than the 5t too.
Hope the battery life is as good as the early reviews have been saying.
Yeah when I unboxed the phone, I was immediately stuck by how tall it is. I was expecting a 2:1 aspect ratio, but its actually a bit taller than that even. Makes me miss the days of truly compact options.
I'm coming from an OG Pixel XL. Does anyone have a side by side comparison? The Pixel XL is 5.5“ but has a wider aspect ratio. Whereas the 4 is 5.8" (taller but narrower). I don't have it yet but I wonder how noticeable the difference will be.

Sent from my OnePlus 5T using XDA Labs
Coming from a Pixel XL, the 4a is a good deal smaller. The reduced bezels mean that the 4a screen overall is actually taller, which is nice because I turn on the virtual navigation buttons. The width makes it much easier to hold in your hand, but it will take some getting used to because the aspect ratio change means that many images are noticeably smaller.

Good to know... I, too am switching from a Pixel XL and, even looking at phone & screen dimensions online, it's hard to tell what that means in reality....
This is my OnePlus 5t (6" screen) with image the same size as 4a screen. Height is very close to same, width is about .10" less on sides.

Most recently I had a 3a XL. Before that an S20+ and an S20 Ultra until I returned it (too big/heavy). My first thought about the 4a was "wow, that's a little fella". I like the size of the phone and the screen. A big screen is nice to look at but carrying the 4a around and using it is much more pleasant than the big phones. that S20 Ultra was a monster to carry around. If I had a pair of loose fitting shorts on I couldn't put it in my pocket - it would pull my pants down! And then you were worrying about losing or dropping the $1400 phone. This 4a is the ticket for me.

I don't have my Pixel 4a yet; but the screen protectors arrived yesterday; so I put one on top of my Pixel XL for comparison. Roughly, it looked like the screen area was almost 1/4" narrower; but also almost 3/4" taller.

Here are 2 pics comparing the OG XL, 2XL and 4a. I was using a pixel 2 to take the photo.
The 4a is the size of the pixel 2 with the screen of the 2xl (same size, not same quality )
The pics align the bottom of the phones as well as the bottom of the screens.
Don't be concerned with brightness. They were all set differently.
Hope this helps. I had to remove an OtterBox for the pic .
Disclaimer. The 4a is the absolute perfect size for me. I can use it one hand and don't feel like the keyboard takes over the screen.
How is the feel? Does it need a case, or will it slip from your hand?

Was thinking about this today.... I remember first getting my Nexus 6P and thinking what a large phone it was; definitely a bit unwieldy trying to use with one hand in many situations, and I've got large hands. Though the Pixel XL was a tad smaller & lighter, it essentially felt the same. Hoping the Pixel 4a is more in line with the "perfect size"....
coming from a galaxy note 5, the 4a screen is a bit taller but a lot less wider. It actually makes a LOT of visual difference, where everything looks much smaller and narrower on the 4a, almost as if I increased the resolution. There are options to increase fonts and zoom, but then the spacing between icons is greatly reduced and it doesn't look pleasing to the eyes. I think anyone coming from a wider screen, will not feel comfortable (I have big fat fingers) but anyone coming from narrower or similar width screen, will likely not notice it.
Hello! I’m looking to replace my old Mi Mix 2 with a better but fairly affordable phone. I also want it to have a wider (not necessarily taller) screen, at least a little. The S10 Lite looks good, but is the screen wider than my current phone? There are online comparisons, but I don’t trust them. According to them, the Poco F2 Pro should have a slightly wider screen than Mi Mix 2, but I checked in real life and they seem to have identical width. I can’t find a real life S10 Lite anywhere, though. Also, is the Velvet wider than Mi Mix 2?

Thanks for the reply! Online specs like GSMArena aren’t perfectly accurate, though. According to them, the Mi Mix 2 has 1080p width at 403 ppi, while Poco F2 Pro also has 1080p but at 395 ppi. That would make the Poco’s screen a little wider in theory, but when I compared them in real life, they were identical. What’s more, there’s also a size comparison tool at phonearena, and it shows the Poco’s screen (not counting bezels of course) as narrower than in Mi Mix 2. So I was wondering if anyone has both the Mi Mix 2 and Samsung S10 Lite (or LG Velvet) to compare.

Lol, it isn't a matter of their GSMArena's comparison being misleading, it is a matter of you improperly comparing screen size.
1080p 403 ppi and 1080p 395 ppi is screen resolution.
Screen resolution and screen size/dimension are not the same thing.
If you want to compare screen sizes, compare the actual linear measurements.
