[Dev] Need testers for Energy Ring (Notch battery indicator)! - LG G7 ThinQ Themes, Apps, and Mods

Hey Guys! Developer of Energy Ring here!
I have got overwhelming requests to add support for notch based camera in displays. Finally decided to create a new edition of Energy Ring, probably going to call it Energy Notch to continue the familiarity of the name 'Energy' (from Energy Bar, Energy Ring.)
I am building more than just a semi-circle around your notch, Energy Notch shall be curve-hugging your notch. Looking for users who can help me measure the curves of their device.
Ideal tester:
#1 Available on Telegram/Skype - so that I can send you faster test builds.
#2 Have another phone/camera to take photos of the physical phone's notch while testing.
#3 Some patience.
Interested testers can PM their Telegram/Skype ID. Cheers!

[APP] [LWP] Smoke Play beta

Hi all,
My second app is up on the marketplace:
https://market.android.com/details?id=ph.android.smokeLWP
It's a fluid solver driven live wallpaper and stand-alone app.
The effect is a simple but satisfying dynamic smoke.
Youtube video to follow tomorrow.
I would really appreciate your feedback and feature requests!
Cheers,
-=JK=-
My sgs2 is smoking!
Impressions are good, although with a blank initial screen, thought something was wrong until I touched it...(Duh I know).
A wee bit pixilated but understand the universal performance issue, which would slow most devices dramatically If at a higher resolution.
It reminds me of a app called Fleya, which is on the market, if you are not familiar with it, check it out.
But this is a great start, and being a fan of fluid / smoke dynamic simulations, this is a keeper
Will be following this.
Well done and thanks.
Regards
With reference to the "Fleya" app for reference.

Thanks buzzboy.
Yeah, I am also a fan of fleya!
I've got quite a lot to add to Smoke Play to get it to where I want it. I've been messing around with some settings and superficial stuff for about a week so I thought it just needs to get out there.
My ideas for features are:
a settings activity where you can up the detail and iterations on the fluid solver for more powerful phones
expose all the smoke (or fluid) properties to be customisable
define some cool pre-sets
coloured smoke that mixes (have this working on my laptop)
continuous auto-sources of smoke
objects (draw shapes) in the path of the smoke
calculated objects field from the homescreen icons (smoke collides with your icons)
an auto-config activity which scales the detail up or down to optimise quality on all phones
maybe put an ad in the settings activity
I'm not sure what order I'll do things in. I think some sort of settings screen will be up next.
I'm keen to hear other ideas too!
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Just made an update, check it out!
Added features:
- smoothed the input
- added multitouch
- added a settings screen to make the level of detail user configurable
The "medium" level of detail is about right for my SGS ... so you can judge the right setting for your phone.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Another update:
- tweaked the settings for the different levels of detail smoke
- fixed a memory usage bug (will keep an eye on this, difficult to reproduce)
Cheers,

Nice, runs at very high on my DHD, nice work.
Sent from HydrOG3N MOD DHD.
Technology Evolves, Android Evolves.
HydrOG3N is THE Revolution.
Real smooth on my echo, nice work
This is very entertaining. I am looking forward to the features you want to implement.
How about accelerometer detection so the smoke rises accordingly, depending on how the phone is being held.
I wallpaper works in the preview mode but will not apply to homescreen. One suggestion I can think of is being able to change the background image. It would be awesome to be able to have a weed background with dynamic smoke
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
This wallpaper is amazing. The only thing it really needs is a certain amount of smoke as a sort of baseline so that I don't have a blank phone every time I wake it up. It is pretty nifty that the screen comes alive the first time you touch it though..
Nice!
Working great on my SGS running on High detail. Very nice work!
Hope to see implementation of accelerometer and colors.
Thanks for the feedback everyone, great to hear!
I wanted to make more updates, but I've been a bit tight for time recently. Some of the feedback I've had is that it looks pixelated so I've been unsuccessfully trying to work on a simple shader to smooth the rendering. I may not be able to make this work, but I'd like to. For those interested, the fluid sim uses C code via the NDK so this may be complicating things for me ... also shaders will not work below Android 2.2 which adds complication.
Colour is definitely coming, I have this working with a simple RGB colours in my test code. I want a nice way to choose colours in the settings screen. Any suggestions around this would be cool.
Accelerometer detection will come, but this will be slightly more tricky than colour and may take me a little time.
A constant source of some smoke (so there is something always on the screen) will be a later addition.
I haven't looked at transparency over a background image yet.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
i love this man its very nice. the updates you want to do are sounding great too! one thing i do want to add is an idea for it. maybe when you get the constant smoke source try having so your touches dont always produce smoke but can just twirl it and influence it. like have a setting where you can turn on constant smoke and then play with it. But its great so far keep up the work!
Hi Guys,
Got an update out! (finally)
This one includes:
- a bug fix of a known issue in OpenGL which was causing a crash when switching between the app and the wallpaper every now and then
- a smoothing renderer. This takes the edges off the pixelated look which was the main feedback I was getting.
I went down and back several paths to try and smooth the rendering. I'm fairly happy with it. The levels of detail for the fluid simulation are the same as before, but it divides each cell into 4 and does a sort of subtle bloom effect prior to the gl rendering calls.
Hope this improves the look and feel for people.
I looked at porting to OpenGL ES 2.0 (from 1.0), but it was just too difficult for what I was doing. If anyone knows a good tutorial to do this I may look into it in the future. I think the shader effects available in 2.0 would further improve / customise the visuals.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
PS - next up: accelerometer (then coloured smoke / constant sources)
New version out today!
Accelerometer detection for the smoke rising added.
Also slightly improved the rendering performance.
Finally got around to filming it too, here's a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xdLceg474k
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Version 1.8 up on the market.
Added continuous source mode: smoke is continuously added to the middle of the screen, swipe to push it around with forces.
Added simple colour: cycles through RGB when you touch the screen.
Next up: background image, colour picker.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
Thanks for sharing.
As an FYI, the smoke is pixelated on my Archos 70 :
I'm using the latest market version with "smooth rendering" enabled.
Hi jknut,
I'm sorry it's pixelated on your device.
You can try upping the smoke level of detail in the options.
Unfortunately, this will increase the number of calculations per frame and may slow it down to a crawl.
There's not a lot I can do about this ... the algorithm is implemented in C via the NDK so it's not going to get much faster. I have implemented a fixed point version which gave a slight speed increase but unacceptable precision for the effect.
Even on my Core i5 laptop I can easily make it grind to a halt on a detail setting not much more than the "are you feeling lucky" one.
Cheers,
-=JK=-
PS - more features to follow, just swamped with work right now
Version 1.9!
Hi all,
New version just released.
Features added:
- colour picker, so you can choose your own colours
- background images you can pick

Xperia xz - Nougat update review

Please guys those who have updated the phone... Share some of your thoughts about the new update... Increase the excitement for rest of us who is waiting for it

Here are my initial thoughts:
1) The update is very much smoother than the previous MM versions, very noticeable in the multitasking pane
2) The Nougat notifications looks bomb on the Xperia skin, they are much faster to interact with, quick reply works great & notification handling is quite improved.
3) The Quick settings pane are not exactly like the Pixel one, they take a little more space on the screen (just a little), the drop down arrow on the un-collapsed QS takes 1 QS Space on the right, would have preferred it to be a little small so that they could squeeze another QS Tile there.
4) The messaging app has some new neat features, nothing much drastic though (who uses normal messages these days anyways)
5) Split Screen works great & is a welcoming change
6) Battery life - Can't comment, needs a little more time to judge, but the track record for my XZ is already great, so not expecting big changes in battery life.
7) Now, the Camera, it's supposed to bring certain new Manual control options, but I didn't had a chance to dig into em. Will let you know when I start playing around the camera myself
Overall, the device runs faster, smoother & feels a little light, not too much of stuff going on, just exactly what you need & where you need em.
It is a great update & a very quick update too.
There is a thread in the general section already dedicated to this update.
Please continue the discussion here

Video properties overlay while playing option.

With all do respect I don't know how hard it is to implement this feature (I'm sure it's harder than imagining it). Displaying all of the properties would look pretty awful IMHO. Resolution, frame rate and size spaced along the top or bottom but opposite the info per Settings, Player, Screen, Elapsed time and Battery/clock. I would LOVE that. I would hope you might as well.

Hi,
We have received so many requests & We are trying our best to fulfil if it's possible.
Showing framerate, size, resolution as an overlay on the playback screen may not be useful for everyone. As there are several high priority and high demanding requests, we haven't prioritised this one.
Our team assesses every request and prioritises it based on various factors & will work based on that. So, we can't provide any ETA at the moment.

Feature Requests - (I see you essential team)

Since you guys peruse here and reddit.
-Stay awake while reading/holding
The same way the sony xperia series detects the phone is upright and being held, delays the screen time out.
- Setting to adjust the bottom round corner overlays
There two overlays at the bottom of the screen. Would be great to add some setting stop adjust.
-Hide Navbar
Similar to the GS8 That give you granular control over when it's hidden.
-Auto Pin unlock
Again the on the xperia series, the check mark is removed, so once you put the correct pin the phone accepts and unlocks.
More to come....
So most of the things suggested above are actually pretty gimmicky, imo.
Only thing I miss coming from other phones is gesture support for things like camera and flashlight with screen off. Double tap power for camera works fine, but no way to get to flashlight without turning the screen on, pulling down quick toggles, and clicking flashlight. Maybe holding down the volume down button with screen off?
Moto has the best gestures, then oneplus, then everyone else. Unfortunately, there is hardware support required for these to work without killing the battery, so totally understand if we never get gestures like these.
Those are pretty lame requests.. Essential runs AOSP.
A request that are needed & needs addressing:
- manual mode for camera
- hdr auto toggles the flash on??
- release system images already
- beta program/Oreo
- timely security updates (just getting October?)
- fix touch issues and scrolling
- fp scanner causing lockups
Let's get the OS polished and working better before we add more features

I mean, those requests of yours are already what they're doing, and bug fixes. So like duh list.
As for essential running aosp. They do, and they are already adding stuff on top.
The elegant solution for the status bar is to run devices in full screen, then manually
bring back the nav bar and status bar. So options for that would just be additional to what they are doing.
The rounded corners. They are already overlaying black corners on top. So options for that would just be additional to what they are doing.
Double click power button for cam isn't aosp last I checked.
So hence "feature requests" not just another list asking for "do it faster". :good:
Fix the camera.
Show us you can do this and smash the naysayers. Please don't just throw in the towel and let companies like Razer come in and show you up.
I would like Oreo like everyone else, but keep the guns pointed at the cameras.
There's seriously no rush to race to Essential phone 2.
You have reduced the price and now have the stage yet again. (Not to mention a ton of dedicated customers waiting with faith and phone in hand. )
Seize the moment an knock it out of the park.
This is the perfect time for you to take gobs of consumers away from the Pixel line. Google is against the ropes with its own set of issues.
Now that your price is set where margins are thin, its time to prove your name. Fix the camera and move units like crazy to get it in as many hands as possible.
Essential Phone 2 will help when you user base confidently upgrades ans recommends your product.
I bought an Essential phone for tight finish. (Software & Hardware)
Oreo will clean up a lot of peoples wants.
Again though, make the hardware work to it full potential.
Essential, you put yourself in this position with Stock android promises coupled with exceedingly high end hardware.
If I wanted bells/whistles with headaches, I would have zero troubles finding and OEM for that.
I essentially want you to focus on the hardware and leverage what you have to a higher standard and level.
Fix the EIS
Bring the camera levels to LG G6 results since the parts are the same.
Fix the Camera Icon (The only one you created) - Its ridiculously amateur and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Keep up the AMA's
Stay focused and steady.
Don't just kick the can down the road.
Another point:
I feel you should point out and lean your American roots. Lots of consumers purchase phones from offshoot companies that are created outside of the USA. Subsequently, many of them have been busted by running data collecting and or malicious algorithms.
You will not have more attention than you do now. Get cracking on it and show us what your made of.
Show us you can do this!
I agree totally with Maven1975 this phone is an awesome piece of equipment, I think that the weak link is the stock camera app and the way it processes the photos taken (compression) I have been able to take some pretty good looking photos with the stock app, but both The GCam port and FV-5 take far better pics but why?
Over the past year I owned the G6 which took some really nice pics, I sold it to purchase the S8 which took some amazing pics but I just couldn't deal with the UI of either of those phones even with the themes and the S8 wasn't user friendly for myself because of how I hold a phone I need me some side bezels with how I hold phones. I ended up getting the U11 and I love HTC and the UI but the phone was "big" but it took the best pictures out of the three.
Then the Essential PH-1 came out with it's awesome form factor and amazing quality and design I figured hey it has the same image sensor as the G6 with newer hardware and dual camera setup I bought into the"Image Fusion" hype and figured the photos should be somewhere in between the G6 and U11
Fix the camera, give us a Pro/Manual Mode and Release the System Image
I love stock Android, so keep the updates quick and the owners of this high quality phone will be some of your best advertisement "bang for the buck"
Become part of the development community and make this a "flash happy" phone ..... I come from a time when the HTC Hero had so many options for flashing different roms and apps it was so pleasing make the Essential PH-1 an ICON like the Hero

Hi Honor Team,
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to share our thoughts on Honor 10. So after 15 days of usage with Honor 10, here i will be sharing my full thoughts on Honor 10 with what all features will be improved and fixed with updates & what the users will be expecting in Future Honor Products.
Design:-
*An unique design, Undoubtedly one of the best designs in smartphones of 2018 with Spectrum colourized back panel with Aluminium frame and placement of Fingerprint, Cameras, Speaker, Sim tray & Volume buttons, No complaints whatsoever.
*Having 5.84inch includes Notch with 19:9 aspect ratio its compact and weight less!
Rating:- 4.8/5
Future Product Design:-
*An unique design same as Honor 10 with multiple color options would be really great.
Display:-
*As far as display goes, its rich and vivid. Under the sunlight a vast improvement from the previous phones like Honor 8 Pro. Color Accuracy and auto-brightness works like charm, having different screen modes is a nice to have feature, so good job!
Rating:- 4.4/5
For Next Version:-
*Being a flagship competitive smartphone, i would like to see honor introducing a AMOLED Screens or at least Super LCD displays for rich color and great viewing angles!
Memory:-
*Basically am not a gaming user, so with my usage with Honor 10 4gb/128gb with March 2018 Patch, i found a little here and there lag and little ram consumption at the background , i know these things will be fixed in future updates.!
Rating:- 4.5/5
For Next Version:-
*Please given an option to use SD card in 2nd sim slot, it could be a welcome option for many users since most of them stores/shoots lots of media's where an option to use SD card on 2nd Sim Slot will be handy in many situations.!
*Also i want honor to consider about its own cloud storage to give users an unlimited storage of their media's like Google Photos.
Battery:
*Having 3400mah with SUper Charging its fine, standby timing is also great. On 15+ days with Honor 10, While normal usage like camera, or browsing phone gets heated up due to which battery backup is just fine, and again these can be fixed in upcoming updates, so no worries.!
*SuperCharge, hats off to it, really works beyond as it was advertised! a great job!
Rating:- 4.4/5
For Next Version:-
Introduce max 4000mah with Supercooling technology for heating problems.
Audio & Speaker:-
*A single speaker, does a fantastic job - it's loud and clear. With Stock music player consists of more options for headphones is great plus and Music player design and animations, Man, I love it!
Rating:- 4.8/5
For Next Version:-
*Even with Single speaker Honor 10 was awesome.! So i would like to see Honor coming up with dual stereo speakers, Hi-fi Quad DAC or Dolby etc. May be with the front firing speakers with notch design, it will be a great treat!
AI Camera & Video:-
*So here comes the most innovative part in Honor 10, AI - For all the ages thats what i will call.!
*With AI or Without AI - Pictures were deep with details, Fast Focusing, AI Scene detection was picture perfect in every clicks whether the picture with AI or not or even Monochrome, awesome work.!
Front Camera:-
*It's a 24MP with beauty options as well as portrait option. But its not upto the mark as of now because beauty options needs to controlled more by the user instead of automatic handling, pictures look more artificial like shiny or more brightness around the faces, especially eyes & cheeks.
*More importantly the portrait selfie mode works good but when two persons taking a selfie portrait picture means it just blurred second person or whoever behind the person who clicks for a selfie. This need to be fixed as soon as possible because you can't take a group portrait with all persons.!
Video:-
*Video clarity is awesome and H265 Coding option comes in handy. But the audio clarity is not upto the mark, improvisation is much needed with update. For Videos user must need to have Tripod or else it will be shaky!
Rating:- 4.4/5 Hopefully with bug fixes in Front Cam
For Next Version:-
*Being a flagship competitive phone, atleast in next version, Please do have OIS, EIS & Fixed Focus for Shooting Videos.!
*Honor 10 packed with right specs with great build quality but it missed out the important factors like OIS or EIS (I hope it can be enabled with updates may be!)
*Super Slow Motion, Reverse video options etc.
*Instead of 24Mp Shooter on the front, i would rather go with dual 8Mp or 12Mp with Wide angle, aperture mode.! so which gives users a more control over bokeh modes as well.
Software:-
*First of all i would like to thank and appreciate Honor for launching devices with latest Android Versions.
*So with EMUI 8.1.0 along side Android Oreo 8.1.0 with NPU & Kirin 970, great performance and a competitive one against the ODDS.!
*From Picture in Picture mode, Navigation gestures, Clean System UI.
1. Themes:-
*Being a Theme developer, am completely disappointed with EMUI 8.1.0, i don't know why these changes happened , EMUI is famous for more customization but even a simple things like notification panel icons, settings menu icons can't be themed as of now. a completed disaster i hope Honor will reconsider to enable full customization like it was in EMUI 5.1/8.0.
2. Removal of Stock Message app:-
*As a theme developer i don't like this option but as a user i love google messenger app.!
3. Navigation Gesture:-
*A must have feature and i hope more options like tap, double tap options will be enabled in future updates!
4. Face Unlock:-
*It's super fast, works great! it works even upside down i dont know its a bug or it tends to work in that way as well.!
5. FingerPrint:-
*A controversial placement, i personally i love it but many users still prefers at the back.!
*Ultrasonic fingerprint it works well in wet hands, its fast but there is a half second delay now & there and setting up takes a lot of time compare to fingerprint sensors at the back, hopefully it will be fixed soon.
6. Notch:-
*Notch! Notch! an option to off and on, but disabling it in LCD Screen won't be good rather i will have my Notch On.!
7. Notification:-
*Lockscreen notification expansion, a must have feature but it's removed i don't know why!?
please enable in future updates.!!
Rating:- 4.4/5
For Next Version:-
*Water resistant and Shatterproof with gorilla glass would be really handy.!
*LockScreen Notification Light, it's too tiny to view the glow, hope it will be taken care in future devices.!
*Huawei Home Launcher:- It's superb, with an option to enable app drawer,widgets more importantly Google Now integration etc but in the same way why can't Huawei introduce features of Nova Launchers or Action Launchers,i hope these things will be considered in future.
Verdict:-4.5/5
**So over all Honor 10, a complete smartphone in every aspects and wins against the ODDs thanks to AI, Of course there is a few misses but some misses but those things can be fixed in updates and other misses will be repacked in future devices.
Honor AI - An Living Innovation
Huawei - We Build Smiles
I am a great fan front mounted fingerprint so in every aspect Honor 10 fulfilled.
I have seen how Honor fixes Bugs or Providing updates even it's delayed so not worrying about the updates.!
Things to get improved:-
* Please include EIS (in reception video 1080 60fps and more stability)
* With AI and NPU improve performance generality
* Front Camera with beauty or without beauty mode needs to get improved in Honor phones which launched recently.
Yes, add more settings and changer DPI. Improve performance and fluidity , Honor 10 have microlag and thermaltrottling is very High pls fix it...
I really like the Honor 10, especially because of the really good overall performance and the battery life.
Also, the quick charge feature is way faster than most other phones I have used. I have no problem with the notch and I absolutely love the face unlock (I don't even use the fingerprint sensor anymore because it is so fast).
On the other hand, maybe include an AMOLED screen the next time since you see the space next to the notch slightly glowing even when off (typical for LCD). Additionally, the fingerprint sensor tends to be a bit slow, which is why I now only use the face unlock.
All in all, this is a really great phone for the value!
This seems like a great device! I like it because it has fast charge, a good camera, and AI.
To top it off, there is a sweet design (Aurora Glass Design) on the back, and it looks amazing!
It is a great phone for the price!
One thing I would change personally would be to move the fingerprint sensor to the back, and to add an AMOLED or OLED screen.
I feel like moving the fingerprint sensor to the back would give more space for more screen.
this goes for everyone else
especially with the track record that most devices get abandoned by their creators in a year or two...
complete and timely open source code release for everything, at the same time as it is widely released on devices in most peoples hands. not just because of gpl, but because it is the right thing to do so interested community members can start learning to provide some support from the beginning and beyond.
along the same theme, full support for standards like Treble with A/B partitioning and unlockable bootloaders, and that of course the hardware, including camera, should all function just as well with a generic AOSP image for those who prefer a stock or alternative experience.
hardware that can support standards around VR / AR as it so frustrating to find a phone just misses a small requirement in some area to not support these, like accel / gyro, nfc, high resolution screens... and headset jacks so you can enable fm radio (obviously useful in case of emergency).
along with the hardware theme, user replaceable batteries, because others have figured out how to do it and keep water protection, so can you. it is much easier to carry a spare little battery that can be swapped in vs being able to tease someone with an older phone who basically has it connected to a big battery pack all the time. bonus points if you choose to be environmentally friendly and have some sort of cross phone model "standard size" user swappable battery.
that covers most issues with most phones, hope that helps.
Oh!
I love the color! Honor Is number one in beauty
and its quick and fast.
I'm on board with everyone else.
Regardless of these being high, midrange and even on budget phones.
There's no reason not to have EIS or OIS. I would rather have
1 really really good camera with OIS then multiple lens without it.
Honor smartphones are truly smart and innovative. Its own Hisilicon Kirin 970 processor is really fast and good. But in most cases its lags behind the latest Snapdragon 845 processor. Although the Kirin 970 is best for machine learning or artificial intiligence(AI) as it have a better NPU but still now software advances are not upto that mark to use its potential fully rather than camera and basic face recognition tasks for better picture quality, face unlock features, etc. Snapdragon 845 on the other hand provides Qualcomm Audio equilizer and support for EIS and OIS. So I would just suggest if at least EIS or OIS is provided. Also the video recording supports only upto 30fs and does not support 4k recording and slow motion which is very demanding and easily available in the price segment. Looks and feel of this smartphone is decent. And I really appreciate the front mounted fingerprint sensor as its really handy. Display also could have been better though.
Thank u.
As much as i want to give my own point of view, i don't have any honor device and don't think i can avoid one, at least not with my country economic crises and insane high naira/dollar exchange rate. Well with the review and comment have read, it such a great and beautiful device. i will surely appreciate it if i can get one. Thanks.
Honor 10 phone provides 32-bit audio, and a fine tuned equalizer, which the OnePlus totally misses on. Apart from the megapixel count, the Honor 10 clearly has a better camera as well, being the first to bring dual cameras to the mainstream market.
Even without the Leica branding like its siblings, Honor phones have amazing cameras and photography software.
This phone comes with an option to remove the navigation bar, and (one step ahead of the Never Settler) provides an option to use it's front mounted under-glass fingerprint sensor to navigate. Better than on screen gestures (also provided), in my opinion.
Hopefully I win!
I have never won a giveaway before, but here it goes!
What I like to see from the Honor 10 is the move to Stock Android as opposed to using EMUI. This is subjective, but I prefer stock android as it is the most optimized and speed efficient.
I also would like the Honor 10 to have a better camera than its predecessors. Since it's supposed to be the latest and greatest!
If not the move to EMUI. Then I would love software support to the latest android os. If Android P gets released. Then I hope that Huawei implements it quickly .

Favorite things about Honor 10-
Camera- With 24MP+16MP Dual AI Camera and F1.8 wide Aperture, Camera enables professional and amateur photographers to take clear and crisp images.
AI feature-Real-time Recognition of 500+ Scenarios in 22 Categories, even Honor V10 is doing well under 13 categories but Honor 10 has really gone a step forward.
Huawei Super Charging - Don’t need to hang the phone to wall charger to get that full juice.
Aurora Glass Design - looks stunning. The new Aurora glass design reflects vivid colors from different angles. Simply WOW. (Have seen glass design on my Honor 8 and I feel like switching back to Honor 8 from my Honor V10 sometime due to looks)
The colours- Phantom Blue and Phantom Green, Huawei is really serious on the looks and inching a step forward with every launch.
Ultrasonic Under Glass Fingerprint Sensor -The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the glass for fast unlock (even with wet hands)
Things that can improve this (or in fact any other Honor/huawei phones) further-
Implementation of EIS/OIS.
Things I like :
The most important thing I like about Honor 10 is its screen to body ratio.Its can be held in hand with ease and have bigger screen.Initially I was hater of Notch but now I see why its being introduced in the latest devices.It gives maximum screen to body ratio (others may have different opinion).
Its battery optimization is one of the plus point for this device.Its juice gives me two days of usage time.
Its symmetry amazes me it has nice design with good look.
I love the health app included in the phone simple yet efficient.
Things need to improve:
The back camera is great in most of the scenarios but it need to improve its AI integration.While taking photos in low light with AI enabled the quality of photos is not good as compared to normal mode.
Front camera need to be improved a lot while taking photos in low light . Please give us an option to disable beauty mode in front camera not every one likes it.
I think portrait mode is not working as desired in Honor 10.Its not blurring the surroundings .
Please fix the bluetooth connectivity issues . I cant connect my Honor 10 with Honor bluetooth headphones its not visible even while searching for headphones.If you need any more specific logs I am glad to help .
Also include option to scan QR code from the camera itself which is available in older EMUI versions.Currently its buried deeply into the system settings .
I would also like to have AMOLED screens in the upcoming models.
Its network reception is not upto the mark in congested regions I will be happy if this includes Network+ option like in EMUI 4 which increases network stability.
Also enable type of network connection made(like 2G,3G,4G/LTE) by the device on the top of network bars .
Even though we have finger print sensor to unlock I like to have double tap to wake the screen .Currently just to check notifications or time we need to unlock the screen.But if we have DT2W it wont be the case.
I know above three options can be enabled by a simple build prop edit which I made in my older devices. But I want them to include in the core.
In addition to above
I would like to have
1.Slow motion setter
2.Square cut
3.Auto enhancement based on surrounding as it has AI and NPU
4.Extreme zoom
5.HDR+ mode
6.Low light enhancement
7.Auto noise cancellor.
8.Setting up aspect ratio with different resolution
9.Photo scanner to digitalize printed old photos.
10.Gif animation creator after shooting burst photos.
11.Slow motion setter
12.Frame rate setting while shooting videos
I love the shining color of this phone, the fact that has a fingerprint on the front, a very good camera implemented with AI perfectly , the hideable notch (remains in all apps), a face unlock and a headphone jack..YESS. The price is perfect for its performace!! For me the AI technology should be implemented for other things (not only for the camera). Should be improved even the battery ( i think can be solved with an update) and the gestures with the fingerprint sensor that sometimes does not recognize it. Loving this phone, want to have it!! Thanks for reading!!
I like AI camera & the color spectrum on the back panel.
Honor

Likes : *AI* cameraaa , Honor design <3 and Battery :victory:
want to improve : Photo Processing , display ppi density and move fingerprint in back again for more features :cyclops:
I really like the look of this phone.
The screen looks amazing, and the fact that I can still use a fingerprint unlock.
I'm not a fan of the notch, but I have not yet had the opportunity to use a phone for any length of time with a notch, so hopefully this will give me that chance
Huawei is an uprising brand in the world of technology. If they Keep working like this soon people will forget that Samsung Exist
