Is it still worth buying?

Its online price is quite tempting to me, but having read mixed reviews I'm unsure whether to buy this model or not. So, I'm asking to the real users of this device! Would you buy it now? The thing I care the most is app launch speed and overall speed.

Not really. I suggest you take a look at redmi note 3.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a phone 5" maximum.

I would say go with the Redmi 3 with only 5" screen... but i heard the Redmi 3S is coming out.

Nah not really. I suggest looking for redmi note 3 or Moto G 3rd gen.

how about mi4c or mi4s?

Mi4c's touchscreen does not work well, and Mi4s is expensive right now. I ended up buying the Mi4i. So far so good, excellent device, nothing to complain.

Honor 8 or Honor 9?

I want to buy a new smartphone with very good camera.
Honor 9 was better than Honor 8? which are more recommend?
How do they compare to Xiaomi Mi 6 in terms of quality picture and video recording?
Honor 8 have DT2W option available?

Honor 8 have a very good camera and video?

Thanks.
please more opinions.

Look for Honor 8 Pro or Honor 9.
There is no reason to buy Honor 8 anymore, when new phones are released.

But honor 8 is more cheap and great camera..
Honor 9 include minor upgrades?

If you have the budget, I'd say go for the Honor 9.

Wait for the reviews if you want to know about the camera, but in other departments, go with the honor 9

Honor 9 is more expensive?
I want to buy Global version of this device but not available to buy from amazon for example.. when?

I'd get Honor 9 as it has some nice improvements. Without double-touch to wake, Honor 8 with its rear-facing fingerprint sensor can be a bit cumbersome to unlock when laying flat on a desk. Other than that, the improvements to camera and audio present in H9 are welcome. Now having said that, I'd wait for the real-life reviews to see how performance and and batery-life of Honor 9 compares to H8 plus note that H9 will be much more expensive for a while, especially if you can find a good deal on H8, which is still an awesome phone.

No one knows the price of honor 9 outside China, and if someone have the honor 8, its not a worthy upgrade

On paper, battery and performance should be better on the Honor 9. I just hoped that Honor will have a program where you can give in your Honor 8 or any other phone and receive a better one with less the price.

Samsung recently had that program. You can give in any smartphone you have in exchange of a S8 with less price.

How can you advice some to go for the Honor 9, have you personal tested or used the H9?
Just because these a new model of a previous device doesn't make it a better device.
Now as another member said to the Op if they can wait and have the budget for the H9 then yes Go for H9, but if budget kinda tight the H8 is a good device and may even be able to pick one up for well under 300 green backs.. It all boils down to do you need the new features of the H9?

For me, that's right. There are little differences between the two. It's just that Honor 9 is "newer".

Who all are excited for Honor V10?

Guys, as time reaching near who all are excited for V10 ? I may end up buying it actually.

Not even a year, honor 9 already outdated

The Custom Dev here is dead and..yes this Honor would be my last Honor.

You are wrong, the V10 is the successor to the V9 (H8 Pro).
H9 remains their current year flagship. @FlyingMachete the future looks bright, oreo with treble is incomming which will most likely solve alot of problems for us devs.

Mi 10 Ultra Transparent Edition... on my hands!

Hello,
I love the Huawei mobiles... I have almost all of them and it's my first Xiaomi after long time, let me say the Mi Mix I got it day 1 in ME. So I would have that thread as a reference on my experience with the Xiaomi UI and also make a comparison with... Huawei and many others phones I have.
The design is absolutely great also if I love the Mate 30 Pro curves... in the next days I will get the Mate 40 Pro+ and it will be a battle

Uh OK?

is it good to buy mate 30 pro in 2021

Dear Team,
I how you guys are doing amazing , i was about to buy new mate 30 pro for a very good deal but thought should i ask is it safe to buy mate 30 pro this year considering mate 30 is 2 years old mobile also Please confirm how many years Huawei software and security support is available ? is it 3 years or 2 years ?
Looking forward for your support on this cheers !

Hi guys. Looking for kind support on this please .

I have it, I use for camera. I have gone away from relying on google apps, found alternative. Only thing I hate is lack of updates and customization since I came from owning a S9+ for couple of years.
Battery is very good, I recommend. 7.5 outta 10, if there was more internal UI customization and quicker updates I would go for 9 outta 10.

Also. The price was very good, saved like $500 compared to new Samsung fan edition.

Can't help you on that, I'm not too fuzzed about updates. I just hope the new US gov allows GMS on the phone or if I'm able to update to harmony OS.

The Mate 30pro was released end of September 2019, that makes the oldest Mate 30 pro's 18 months, about 1.5 year old. My wife still receives security updates on her mate 20 pro so I believe they provide 3 years of security updates.

Amazing , one more stupid question if we compare redmi k40 with mate 30 pro and oneplus 8T what will be your choice ?

MY 2 cents here.. I wanted to get the Mate 30 pro so bad recently as a secondary phone, but the lack of google services, the difficiculty for sideloading some apps, reminded me of my times with the Blackberry Z10. I would choose something "more compatible" so to say, and wait until they announce google services can be in place again.

I just bought one. The price was the main reason. 400 euros for a absolutely new one with 2 years warranty . My main phone is Z fold 2 but here on first view the screen is crystal clear. Just beautiful. And I have used half a year an P40 pro without GMS. So this is not so bad for me. And the camera is also so so much more better. I thinking now to sell the Samsung one.
