I know there are a few things no reviewers mention. So, I wanted to know from an enthusiast user
Actually the reviews were pretty much spot on.
If you've seen some you probably know all there is to know.
You definitely need a case/ skin though, thats how slippery the device actually is.
And custom roms are not 100% stable. Don't necessarily expect same features/battery life as on stock
Edit: Unlocking the bootloader can be a pain without paid 3rd party tools. Huawei s Website/login structure is abysmal

The glass is not that scratch resistant
To make things short:
-it's a beast for what you pay.
-video isn't good at low light.
-well optimizes if you're on EMUI.
-magnificent build.
-good development scene.
-excellent battery.

What do you do with your phone? I have mine for 6 months now and I don't have a single scratch ?
Besides, jerryrig did his thing with the h8 and while slightly less resistant than others it still is resistant to most daily threats

I have mine for more than 10 months, little scratches in the bottom back, not that big of a deal.
I just said so comparing to other flagship using GG5 (because honor 8 uses GG3)

you just need to spend a few dollars, probably less than $5 to protect both the front and back from scratches

Me too, android nougat EMUI 5.0
The phone needs a tempered glass if you don't want to get a scratched screen and a case, some bugs can occur because this is emui, and the phone can be warm when you launch games, after all of that, the phone is nice, not a big problem for me, I recommend you this phone

Using the same, EMUI 5 with Android 7.0
I feel the phone got noticeably better in nearly every aspect, even performance, with the upgrade to EMUI 5 and nougat
Mediocre phone, I won't buy from Honor anymore
I really value having an updated phone and they don't bother with development
Camera is great, performance is fine (some of my mostly used apps freeze frequently)
Next time I will buy Nexus or Samsung

and the other way round goes to my girlfriend, we would not buy samsung again, after using the Elephone P8000 she was like: "okay, lets buy a good phone .. samsung galaxy s7 edge" ...
you know "good phone" is now like:
-many crashes and freezes
-some phones have the purple-stripe-thing
... and she is on stock dont wanted to root again "to run on smooth, crash-free phone" ....

i have the honor 8 now for about two month my result:
pros:
-speedy enough - you dont get any more power for the actually money you pay (imo)
-nice camera
-fast charging
-very well designed phone
-fast fingerprint
-nice looking UI
cons:
- i tried some navbar tweaks from playstore and broke some emui-settings (like swipe to mini-view)
they were recoverble by settings-reset
-rare bluetooth-connection-issues
-not found a way yet to remap/add functions to navbar-buttons
for not loosing the design-factor i bought a luphie metal "case" and scratch-res-foil for front and back.
btw in my package from amazone was a transparent bumper included in the honor 8.

U real? I bought the phone two months ago because of the price-power-ratio.
I don't want a newer phone right now.
...I just want to remap (maybe via magisk?!) My navbar buttons on stock Android 7.0.
If I were in Android 6.0 or below I probably would try magisk, Xposed, Xposed additions...

I am also still satisfied with my honor 8 but, I'm looking forward to get the honor 9 because of the better specs, and I want to try front mounted fingerprint scanner
I got a couple scratches on the back and sides running it naked so I'd advise a case. Had it for 9 months and average 5hr 20 sot. Phone is still snappy and smooth. Branding pisses me off but it's fixable because I'm getting a skin, I just hate people asking me what phone I have because of the honor on it. I assume u know what software ur getting, I'm personally not a fan of emui but Nova launcher is perfect for me. I pretty much made it a pixel now, filled nav bar (theme), Nova launcher customized, Google now cards, assitant and weather/Google widget all without root. I'm starting to love this phone again after what I did to it. It's a good phone, charging could be better but 42 percent in 30 mins is still good.

As the title says, my U11+ in translucent black arrived today.
Little bit of back story.. I've been using two phones before receiving this one, the Nexus 6P and the original Mi Mix. Loved the 6P for the last year but just couldn't deal with the terrible battery life, even after recently swapping the original battery out for a new one. I equally love the Mi Mix for the huge screen however the camera is shocking.
I live in China and preorders went live for the U11+ on 02nd November, the day the phone was announced. I ordered one straight away and the translucent model sold out in a matter of 30 minutes over here. Anyway, it arrived today and as you can see from the images, it's a beauty. I couldn't be happier with the phone and I've only had it for a matter of 6 or so hours.
Being the Chinese version of the phone, my only gripe is that I need to flash the Taiwanese firmware to get Google services etc functioning. Only problem is that the phone ships with S-ON (Security = ON) and, as far as I know, there is no way as yet to shift that to S-OFF so that I can change the CID number and flash Taiwanese firmware.
Any questions you have about the phone just leave them here and I'll go my best to get around to them.
Excellent! Great beauty!
Make sure you avoid using the packaged case if you want the phone live longer. On u11 it made impacts worse, tho protecting from scratches...
Two u11s here one with broken back glass... Since then fully clad in proper casing
Is there any pocket mode that disables accidental screen to wake while inside the pocket?

That's a good question to me as, although I have more than 6 cases for the u11 only one of them was a leather poach. Which since then I wouldn't use in itself because pulling from it I dropped one of the u11s we own at home..
I think a real folding case is a good solution but I don't have any, so can't give advice unfortunately. Also most folding cases somehow block the edge sense feature
@OP: can you please comment on the wifi reception on U11+? How much drain you see with wifi on and phone lying idle? I want this phone but HTC has not been best as far as wifi reception and battery drain resulting from it is concerned.
Hi Proto,
Can you try to run some Google installer package from HTC shop. Read on jd.com that you can install that for Google services. Currently I am on the fence too if I should buy u11+ in China or hk.

Hi Hemant,
Today I got Gapps working on the Chinese version. All Google apps are working flawlessly and this now feels like an international ROM. I have to thank Perfectionalism (a user on this forum) for making me aware of the gapps installer. I'll send the download link over to you in a PM.
The Translucent Black versions are awesome. I have heard from a Taiwanese blogger that, despite the U11+ has 30% more battery capacity (3930 vs 3000 mAh) than the U11 , but the U11+ only lasts longer than U11 by 10% in time by using PCMark program.
I am wondering if Prot02018 could please post some battery statistics to us? (particularly, Screen on Time), thank you.
Recd My Amazing Silver U11+. Don't want to hijack the thread but incase OP can't answer something i too will be glad to help
Is the fingerprint sensor covered by glass?
Also how is the vibration motor? Can you compare it with other device? Is it anything like the iphone/pixel 2?

Now my Samsung S6 suddenly died and my wife is hell bent against me buying an HTC phone which is sort of a dying brand. She insists its better to buy an iphone 8 for that price rather than HTC phone or maybe even Huawei phone. Damn . Woman
Currently i am phoneless and using my wife's iphone 5s. So still pondering which one to buy hoping she would see send that HTC is not bad.
Also to those bought the phone is there any LCD bleeding issue like Pixel 2 devices. Lot of users of U11+ commented the same on jd.com / tmall. Would love to hear on this and battery.
Does the fingerprint sensor support gestures on it? For example, if you swipe down on it does it trigger the notification shade?

Also, can you please comment on the screen quality (how visible things are under sunlight, max brightness) and battery performance? The verdict from GSM Arena's review are rather disappointing in these two regards.

Yep me too want comments how device perform in both situation as first detail review from gsmarena is totally disappointing and unacceptable.
Also if can tell us and how perform compared to the previous device own like Nexus 6p and Mi Mix mention at first post.
Both battery life and outdoor visibility.
Is it better,the same or worst.
I read in gsmarena the battery life was not great. can you confirm or deny it ?
What do the Hong Kong / China / Taiwan users say about battery performance? Any complaints so far?
Hello,
I will buy the htc u11+ from hong kong. It will work on Europe networks?

Now that we have the OnePlus 6 flowing in, let's have our own Indian thread up.
I have a Mirror Black 6 GB variant. Delivered on 23rd May.
Quite good a phone, I'd say. Switched from an LG V30+
Now am awaiting mods for dual speaker and some custom kernels like Franco kernel to tweak and save some battery.
I too got Mirror black 6gb/64gb on 22nd. Today Amazon also added Rs 1000 cashback.
Waiting for servify adp activation already done with kotal811 thing.
I am waiting for official twrp then only will unlock and root and install my favorite Viper4android.
I pre-ordered the 8GB 128GB version. Loving it so far.
This is a magical experience...
Love it

I think you should unlock atleast.
The longer you wait the more data you have to take backup when unlocking the bootloader as unlocking wipes your phone clean.

I think OnePlus is perhaps the ONLY phone manufacturer that doesn't void warranty on rooting. I had a pixel 2 and confirmed that even with unlocked bootloader, the phone needs to be back in factory condition for claiming warranty. No brick issues would be entertained then. But with OnePlus, during my time with the OnePlus 5, my computer had a dead SMPS and my phone soft bricked. OnePlus gave warranty and reflashed the phone. I double checked with the service centre about the warranty. They were affirmative that I'd get warranty.

Can you please tell me about its camera? How does it fare when compared with Pixel2. I wanted to take op6, even pre-booked it. But when i saw all the reviews about its camera, didn't find it good with respect to Pixel2.
Also is speaker that bad? People seems not happy about it.
Howz the sound through earpiece during call?
Sorry for so many questions. I wanted to ask from someone who had both the phones.

Pixel 2 camera is better
I have also upgraded from Pixel 2 to op6
Pixel 2 camera and op6 when compared pixel2 fares best specially front potrait.
Software wise oxygen Os isn't that good compared to pixel stock and Android P bugless.
Pixel stereo speakers are treat to ears + call quality is unmatched. Op6 isn't that good when compared but ok.
However I always liked OnePlus display over any other phones.
Further I upgrade every 3-4 months so not an issue, will switch to pixel 3 in September or October.
Also I have Midnight Black 128GB if that matters
Tip- wait for 3-4 months if you are tight on budget and get Pixel 3 or op6t but if you are enthusiastic go ahead

Hey guys...
At what temperature does your OP6 hover at.
I don't play games.
As per cpu-z, mine stays between 30.5 to 39 degree Celsius.
(The temp here in Punjab, India reaches 47).
It feels like warmish after I installed Apple music app yesterday.
Before that didn't feel any warmth.
Thanks.

What do you mean by mods for dual speaker?
Pixel 2 is a better phone. The camera is better. The software optimisation is beyond any phone, except maybe the iPhone X. The Android P is even fluider IMHO. The battery optimisation negates any perceived difference in capacity. The speaker in OP6 is loud but it's tinnier. The front facing dual speaker is always better.
I switched from the Pixel 2 to the LG V30+ for the video recording flexibility and the headphone DAC. then switched from the V30+ to the Op6 cause of that bad camera.
If you can forgo the big chunky bezels of the Pixel 2, it's quite a treat. For looks and screen estate though, the Op6 rocks.

Anyone here have experience with skins on previous devices?
I have used dbrands on my OPO and OP3, but wondering if a cheaper Indian option would work with OP6. I like the Glass back on my 8gb version, but it gets dirty really quick (and I also like the OP logo in red or a different contrasting color).

Hello all,
So I know there already is a lot of writing and saying about the screen freeze en ghost touche issue we have, but I wanted to share my experience.
I have had both problems, (FTS panel) the first 4 - 5 months there were no problems what so ever but then the problems started. The screen freezes where fixed with new firmware and custom kernels ect. but ghost touches where minimal but still present and very noticeable when playing games. So in the end I decided to send my phone back to the official Xiaomi seller here in the Netherlands where I bought the phone because of the 2 years factory warranty
A little side node: Because I live in the Netherlands I'm lucky that we have strict rules ect. to protect the buyer so it was annoying that I missed my phone but I knew there would be a solution.
So the official Xiaomi seller returned the phone to the supplier (Xiaomi) for repair, and after 5 weeks (and a lot of "angry" phone calles and e-mails from me to the Xiaomi seller because of this long waiting period) I finally got a phone call with the answer; because of the 2 year warranty they just gave me a brand new Pocophone F1, so instead of replacing the screen or anything they just gave me a brand new phone. So I decided to give the Pocophone 1 more change (again an FTS panel), currently waiting so I can unluck my bootloader again. If the screen freezes are present on this phone i'm just going to ask my money back and will probably go for an OnePlus 7T or Huawei mate 30 pro (because of the unlocked bootloader). So we will see what the future brings .
If the screen feezes wil start on this phone I will update this post. But until then, good luck to all of you
I bought mine from Germany " Mediamarkt" after around 5 months couldn't stand the touch screen issue any more, return it to repair, the offered to give me my money back, but i choose to replace to new phone but with NVT panel, and since then no problems at all.
It is a good phone, the only complain is the lazy Xiaomi Developer.
Yeah me too. I'm about to send my Poco this week for repair before the warranty ends. Really sad that this great phone have so much issues!
I have also ghost touches at the top of the notch. I tried everything. Every update, every ROM, every kernel but ghost touch have been there. I lock my phone again and i sent it through warranty to service. They said me about 10 business days! Today is the 5th business day.
I really really hope to bring me a new device or my money back.
Ghost touch issues has been fixed already with open beta to Global stable .. .but i would recommend to unclocked bootloader and install OOS rom the 6T 9.0.13 @CodeElixir stable build ..The rom is amazing for gaming and good battery battery back up , no ghost touch issues ..of course supports anxcam and gcam 7.0 good for photography .. well it depends on your preferences..Good luck ! hope this might be help...
Note: Clean install is recommended...

Hello guys, I need some advice on purchasing Oneplus Nord. My apologies if I violate any community guidelines.
I own an oneplus 6 and its display got damaged. I own it since its launch and I am a heavy user and it has seen its fair share of wear and tear. I also have old moto g5s plus running custom rooms which I only use for android app development.
The new Oneplus Nord does look compelling for the price but in the market, I see realme phones with snapdragon 855 chipsets. I do rely on custom ROMs once the manufacturers update window passes but I am not a die-hard Rom hopper.
Please suggest me if it is a good idea to purchase the OnePlus Nord to use it for the next 2 to 3 years with stock OS and then use it for development purpose with a custom ROM.
OR should I just replace the Oneplus 6 screen and call it a day??
PS: I have never experience 90Hz screen refresh rate.
Thank you
How much would the screen repair cost you? I personally wouldn´t do it if it´s ~100$.
Is your OP6 still usable? Then why not use it for develpment and get a Nord. You can always mirror/stream the OP6 display onto your PC if it´s too damaged and use it that way.
i have a OP5 with display issue as well.. the original touch screen went unresponsive three months ago.. display was fine though.. i checked OP repair and they charged HK$23xx (around US$300) for replacing the touch screen, the motherboard and the battery, so basically everything except the frame.. i chose to replace with a 3rd party touch screen for HK$700 (around US$90).. it worked for 3 months and then the touch screen did not respond again.. now i understand why OP repair quoted to replace the motherboard as well as i think its not just the display part but also fault in the main component..
now im using this OP5 exactly as @Saiger mentioned, connecting it to PC via USB cable and control it from the PC..
had considered OP7 and OP8 but their prices are beyond my acceptable range.. kept an eye on Nord and now its finally announced.. the spec seems good (not top grade but good for my usage) and price is okay.. so i shall definitely get it in Aug when its available..
just wanna share my experience for your reference..

Yes, that is my fear also. I had a Micromax(Indian Phone Company) phone with dead display and after replacement, the touch went crazy. So I am afraid to repair my Oneplus 6.
Thankfully I will be giving interviews for some jobs soon. And in India OP will launch a 6/64 GB variant. Depending on my job I'll make the decision.
Thanks for replying.
