Hi
I have been Samsung user for years and now decided to give a try to Chinese top smartphone. I'm looking for device with great battery life, reasonable camera, fingerprint scanner, screen around 5,5" and size not bigger than 150mm. I have bought recently huawei mate 7 which is amazing phone but I had difficulties to handle it in my pockets (size :crying and I'll have to sell it.
I have considered Meizu mx4 pro ( great screen, but not very good camera) or Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 which seems to have all what I want.
If you know other great smartphones please let me know. If you are a user of meizu mx4 pro or redmi note 2 let me know what you think about them.
Thank you
p. s yeah I know that phones which I specified might not be treated as flagship but price factor is also important and I don't want to spend more than 200-300 $

Hey everyone I'm a newbie in chinese smartphones cuz I haven't use one before , I'm actually on LG G4 and I want to switch to another smartphone !!
My Budget is 400$ Maximum !!
after many searches I've found 4 devices in that price range ,what I really want of my next future smartphone ,is to be an upgrade over My lg G4 camera and more performance.
My priorities are , Performance and longevity !! , good Camera , Solid build (Durability) , and Battery.
But I also want a good and Sharp display,good loudspeakers !!For Multimedia
I know that this is a lot to expect from a 400$ smartphone but I just want the best bang for bucks not that Perfect as flagships!!
I've found myself stuck with Oneplus 3 , Xiaomi Mi 5s, Honor 8 , Axon 7 and Zenfone 3 !!
it's very difficult for me to choose please help me , if there is another smartphone that you consider better please tell me !!
Best Regards,
Youssef
I had LG g4 prior to my honor 8, and I can't be happier right now for the money I spent on my honor 8. This phone beats LG g4 in every way in my honest opinion. I also had LG v20 for about couple weeks and I can even argue that this phone is better than LG v20 in many ways. I don't know where you live and how much you will have to spend to buy honor 8, I got mine less than $300 on a promotion with wireless headsets and gift cards. True cost of my honor 8 was about $200. You might wanna think about dollar to dollar value for your options. Some might argue that axon 7 is better, but at the end, honor 8 was the best for my buck. Five things about this phone competes with any other flagship device on the market right now.
1 Look and feel.
2 Cameras
3 Battery life (you can easily get 5-6 hours of screen time)
4 Performance. Especially, app opening and multi tasking.
5 Fingerprint sensor speed and accuracy.
The rest is just average.

I'm not going to write you a story,if you are ok to wait two moths for a phone, then go on oneplus.net and buy the oneplus 3t.
If you dont want to wait,go for Honor 8.
Axon 7 is good too,but i dont knkw where you can get it.
No Zenfone 3,i wanted it too but there are NO CUSTOM ROM!!!
The Honor 8 is a much better device than the LG G4. As it runs on the much more powerful HiSilicon Kirin 950 SOC, which is much more power than the Snapdragon 808 of the LG G4.

The only advantages for the LG G4 are in camera, as it can record 4K. And display which is 1440p
oneplus would be my choice

That is true! Those are the only things the LG G4 have a step up on the Honor 8. But the camera on the Honor 8 isn't too shabby either.

I personally don't shoot videos, and fullHD is far enough, so no probs for me

Same here! I have 4K video recording capabilities on my Note 4 and I've never used it once.
Hi fellas
i need some suggestions from users of s7 edge and one plus 3t. Now the year has passed and s7 edge is around 600 bucks for pearl black 128gb in my town and one plus 3t 64gb is 460 bucks.
Which one should i get for next 2 years to keep?
My prime requirement is the phone's battery and not much slowdown in performance after two years.
Camera for clear scanning of some documents and other office related tasks plus some occasional family photography and selfies etc.
Is it worth spending a little extra for s7 edge.
thanx in advance.
S7 edge is a good phone, buy the 3t is also. It has a higher benchmark. I was going to buy a 3t or P10 plus, but I chosen the P10 plus after using both devices. The 3t is newer than the S7 running stock Android with some nice tricks. The S7 is a solid phone but personally I think the 3t is the better choice, it definitely out performs the S7 regarding speed in my opinion. Antutu benchmark is 160.000

I am planning to buy a phone but on a tight budget. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro seems to be a good choice, but its almost a year old. So is this phone still a good choice, or has it become obsolete by some other device? Another choice would be Realme 3 Pro, which is slightly newer, but I'm not sure its on par with Redmi Note 7 Pro.
P.S. Can I play PUBG with HDR setting on this device? What's the highest PUBG graphics setting you have been able to play comfortably on this device?
P.P.S. Is there a fully functional Google Cam mod availble for Redmi Note 7 Pro?
The thing with Xiaomi is that they release a new phone every month (35 total phones in 2019) and their phones get cheaper every time a new one is released. For example i bought the 7 Pro for 275$, a month later after it was 250$, and now its 180$.
The phone was overhyped and overpriced because the main selling point of the phone was the camera which is just fine, as 80% of other phones.
What I'm trying to say is that the Note 7 Pro was "OK" for like 1 month, then a new device came out with better specs and the same price. Its still a nice phone but then again even cheaper phones are good nowadays.
If you have the money go for a Note 8 Pro, or K30...or hell even a Poccophone is way better and cheaper
I owned note 7 pro and my wife realms 3 pro. I like realms 3 pro than 7 as photos are better in it.
