If I'm right also oneplus x lacks in 800 Mhz LTE band

No. Oneplus x for eu include band 20. Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_x-7630.php
I was thinking of getting the opx for a family member but I think the mi4c is better due to what you mentioned, bigger battery, Wi-Fi ac, USB C, ir blaster which is a bonus and the soc. Camera is very good and fast. Maybe wait for opx review with camera samples.
Custom roms may be slow but there is a cm12.1 rom which is a daily driver except a few minor bugs.
Touch problem was only there on the first ROM. All roms after that had no problems with it. We get weekly updates aswell but probably won't get official marshmallow soon (custom rom, 99% sure though), so you're pretty much set on the software part. I'd say the screen is very good, it has high contrast rates and looks very bright. You can control the saturation etc. so blue (cold) and warm colors is probably what they are reporting.
The advantage to OPX I'd see is band 20, it looks a bit better (just my opinion, but build quality is solid on both), has AMOLED and it has MicroSD.
I already have mi 4c and its better than even one plus two
One plus x is average phone.

I'm torn on this too, in fact I just got an invite for the X today.
For me it's 4G band 20 and micro SD card support vs better battery life (for me on CM12.1 at least) and faster WiFi speeds.
I might get an X anyway and use as my DD for a few weeks
OnePlus X. It's a lot easier to maintain / modify
I got my invite today so just sitting on the website waiting for the Buy Now button to appear.

Apparently xiaomi release source a few months later? When it does, it will be the better phone.
I'd wait for camera samples so that way youll have an all rounder phone

If you get Mi4c, there is no competition, Mi4c is superior in areas that really matters:
1. Performance: Snapdragon 801 vs 808.
- This is the heart of your phone, it determine the snappiness, performance and even power consumption of your phone.
- 808 has big.LITTLE. During idle, your SOC will use very little power because only the "little cores" are running. It safes battery. When you need performance, the A57 cores high performance will start.
- Snapdragon 808's Cortext A57 is one generation ahead of the 801's Krait 400.
- 808 is 64 bit. Simply recompiling an App with 64 bit gcc gain up to a few % performance. Free.
- Adreno 418 vs 330
- 20nm vs 28nm technology. Lower nm mean more efficient; lower power consumption and/or higher performance
- This alone should be reason enough to get Mi4c.. why still chose old SOC???
2. Battery
- 3080mAh vs 2525 mAh
- That's 21% more battery...
3. Display
- IPS vs AMOLED
- It's matter of personal preference, I take IPS any day. I love bright screen and ability to use comfortably even under the bright sun.
- Mi4c display is 1 of the best I have seen, really black and good contrast. Read more: http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_4c-review-1328p3.php
- Mi4c's front buttons backlights basically give you another 10% more screen space.
About ROM, mi4c has weekly update. Although the device has not launched outside of China yet, there are already 4 customs ROM available:
1. Unofficial EU MIUI
2. Unofficial CM12.1
3. Preview Android M (http://en.miui.com/thread-178779-1-1.html)
4. AOSP ROM (http://en.miui.com/thread-178354-1-1.html)
I have been using the phone for over a month now, really happy with it.

Agree. I pick Mi4C because once I spend money, I want to use hardware for as long as possible. Mi4C is more future ready with USB-C, WiFi-ac, 64bit compliance and cost. AMOLED is one thing that I'd miss but guess that's a minor negative.

No tweaks but aggressively toggling settings like aeroplane mode when on my train journey to/from work (no reception), only turning sync on when I connect to WiFi and then only connecting to WiFi occasionally to check emails. No bluetooth, location (yes, locking on is buggy for me but can get it eventually)
I love my Mi4C, the power, the battery life, the design and the display is awesome (and its not blueish) before I'd buy One Plus X, I would rather buy a Xiaomi Mi4
I just wish the Mi 4c had either 64GB or SD card support as well as band 20, I don't care about NFC. If it had those it'd be the perfect phone for me!
The Mi 4c is superior but if you really need band 20 e. g. you instead have to use 2G there's no way around the one plus x
either way both are solid phones
Mi4C is still not released worldwide, which means there will be issues if you want claim warranty. Oh and it's build is so plastic.

Thats the gamble. I have read one plus warranty/cs is not good and very hard to get hold of.
About the plastic, its not cheap like how samsung use to have, its better than the Nexus 5X, compared with bros phone. Think of it as premium plastic

I guess but at least OP have a global division where RMA and warranty issues get handled. Which is so much better than importing a phone yourself and then having to send it back to China if something goes wrong.
I know what you mean about he plastics, I've had 2 Xiaomi devices myself before. 1 of which was plastic, and it felt alright but if I have a choice I'd always avoid any type of plastic.

Anyone interested about this? I chose the mi4c simply for the snapdragon and i was very tempted by the fingerprint scanner.
Whats your opinion, would you chose this over the mi4c?
well, the cons compared to mi4c: 1. 5.0 lollipop vs 5.1 llp on mi4c 2. many people still prefer 5" devices and the mi4c is a lot smaller and lighter 3. mi4c supports proper fast charging with variable voltage 4. mi4c screen has superior contrast (1700:1 vs 950:1 on the redmi note 3 pro). pros compared to mi4c: 1. more screen real estate 2. better build quality, more of a looker, too 3. fingerprint sensor 4. better battery backup, although it should charge real slow 5. s650 is more or less on the same level of performance with the s808 (maybe a 5% difference in favor of the 650) 6. i still don't know about the camera, mi4c has a 1/3" 13mp, wide angle, f/2.0 sony imx258 sensor with phase detection af vs redmi note 3 pro with a 16mp f/2.0 pdaf, but we still don't know if it's a. a samsung isocell s5k2pxx 1/2.6" sensor (like the one on the s5) b. a sony imx234 1/2.6" (g4 etc) c. a sony imx298 1/2.8" (mate 8 etc) so it should perform either equally or better compared to mi4c 7. it's going to be cheaper than the mi4c !
i would buy the one with unlocked bootloader....
offtopic but may i ask why is there no thread section about redmi note 3 here in xda?

Seems like a nice phone, but the SoC is a littel outdated if you ask me, and the size of the phone is too big...
But for the price, it seems like a very good buy!

Outdated SoC? Snapdragon 650 isn't even in any phone you can buy right now (as far as I know) and yet it's outdated?

Sorry, I read it as SD 615.
It still is a good phone, even better now . No doubt. The screen is just too big for me.
I hate it. The SoC is better (BIG cluster uses A72 instead of A57), the GPU is better (proven by higher AnTuTu score), the rear camera resolution is bigger, the battery is bigger, the screen is bigger, full metal unibody, yet cheaper price. Damn you, xiaomi...
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Comparison-Gadget2buy
One of the most awaited phones of the season is already here – the OnePlus 5T. Just after five months after the launch of OnePlus 5, the 5T has been launched for the mid-segment buyers with many new features and additions. It comes with a glossy new six-inch edge-to-edge display, improved design and an enhanced camera setup. No doubt it is an excellent phone with many features but the all-new OnePlus 5T faces a lot of competition from a number of other phones in the same segment and the most importantly from HMD Global's offering for the same segment, Nokia 8.
So before you decide which will be the best phone for you, let’s take a look at the features and specification of OnePlus 5T against Nokia 8.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Design and Display-Gadget2buy
Both the phones have a very attractive design.
The OnePlus 5T has a very familiar design. Like the iPhone 7 or any other new age phones, it has a smooth flat glass and metal body that curves at the edges. It has a design that has already been very well received and reviewed by smartphone users. With a huge 5.5 inches large bezel-less display and fingerprint scanner at the back, the phone is completely in line with the times.
The Nokia 8, on the other hand, does not sport a very flashy design but keeping up with its reputation as a sturdy and good looking phone. A slim phone with full metal body and a 5.3-inch Glance Screen Quad HD display. The display is bright and colourful with a Gorilla Glass 5 to protect the screen in case of a fall.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Features-Gadget2buy
Both the smartphones are powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 835 processor. The Nokia 8 has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage on board. OnePlus 5T comes in two variants- a 6GB RAM/ 64GB storage variant and an 8GB RAM/ 128GB storage option.Both the OnePlus 5T and Nokia 8 come with Google’s latest Android 7.0 Nougat software.
In the battery front, the OnePlus 5T is powered by a huge and long-lasting 3300 mAh non-removable battery which supports Dash Charging, The Nokia 8, by comparison, features a 3,090mAh cell. But a smaller battery here does not less battery life. With a smaller bezel-less screen Nokia 8 fairs pretty well in battery life.
A few other features in Nokia 8 are Iris scanner, Fingerprint (touch), Touch sensitive control keys and Splash resistant body. The OnePlus 5T only has a fingerprint scanner but is not splash resistant.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Camera -Gadget2buy
Both these phones have excellent cameras and the camera is the highlight of these phones. HMD Global has long since marketed Nokia 8 as a device for "storytellers" – tell your story with images. The Nokia 8 comes with a dual camera setup in the rear. The rear camera is equipped with ZEISS optics – and features a 13MP primary RGB (colour) sensor paired with a 13MP monochrome (black and white) sensor. The ZEISS optics allows the phone to capture depths and assists in low-light photography. This phone also has the new “bothie” camera, which basically means that you can use both the front and back camera simultaneously for split screen images and videos and turn it into a fun image. With an inbuilt app, you can even live stream a bothie to Facebook. And for selfies, there is a 13 MP shooter in the front.
OnePlus 5 T also features a dual camera in the rear and has got a new telephoto lens in its dual shooter. The new telephoto lens carries exactly similar 16-megapixel Sony IMX398 primary lens with f/1.7 aperture. The secondary lens is a 20-megapixel Sony IMX376K sensor with a wider aperture whereas in OnePlus 5 there was a 20-megapixel Sony IMX350 sensor. For selfies, it sports a 16-megapixel Sony IMX371 sensor in the front.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Gaming Performance-Gadget2buy
Gaming and multitasking are quite easy and very enjoyable for Nokia 8. At no point does it slow down to drop and also the volume output and the performance of the phone remains top-notch even with heavy duty games like Mortal Kombat and Injustice.
The OnePlus 5T is blazing fast when playing games, multitasking, and just browsing the web. It has a great battery and is quite good for playing games with a huge display and great performance.
For gaming both the devices are excellent and cannot really be compared.
Nokia 8 vs Oneplus 5T Price-Gadget2buy
The OnePlus 5T is available in two different storage variants, with the cheaper 64GB/6GB RAM variant available Rs 32,999and Rs. 37,999 for the 8GB RAM/ 128GB model. The Nokia 8, on the other hand, is only available in a single variant and is available at a price of Rs 36,999. The pricing is a very important point to consider while buying the two phones and here OnePlus has done quite an aggressive pricing.
The end verdict is that the Nokia 8 is a very sturdy and elegant phone with excellent features and a great camera. The OnePlus 5T, on the other hand, is a classy bezel-less smartphone with a few excellent specs and great price.

In 2018 many new budget oriented smartphones were launched but lets see who is the real smartphone king. many big companies have are launching their budget smartphones but only few of them have actually proved themselves as mightiest.
in today's discussion i am going to say which smartphone has really good at it's price point.
I will list down top 3 budget smartphones (i.e upto 15,000 ruppes)
1. REDMI NOTE 5 PRO
The real beast still remains the redmi note 5 pro since it gives true value for money.
the phone feature's latest qualcomm snapdragon 636 octacore processor, 4GB ram and has dual rear facing camera i.e 12MP + 5MP dual camera
Sony primary sensor, 1.25μm pixels and 20MP front facing camera with led flash light and face unlock . Though the rear facing camera look's like iphone x but still result's pretty good. it also has 6 inch FHD+ display with new 18:9 aspect ratio and comes with massive 4000mah battery capacity.
however the smartphone higher GB varient i.e for 6GB ram, the pricing is still high.
2.ASUS ZENFONE MAX PRO M1.
The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is just like the Redmi Note 5 Pro, but includes stock Android. The same hardware that makes the Xiaomi phone on the best performers at that price, is also there on the Zenfone Max Pro M1(i.e snapdragon 636 octacore processors) .But the flavour is stock Android 8.1 Oreo. Apart from that you get a sturdy build quality and decent 16-megapixel dual cameras at the back. Easily one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
3.OPPO REALME 1.
this year oppo is launching quite unique and attractive products.This year now oppo has has launched it's new brand realme and it's one of the product realme 1 is one othe best smartphone of 2018
The Realme 1 is a new entrant in the mid-range market and it hopes to topple the best by offering a maxed-out spec sheet which includes 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage and Mediatek helio p60 processor which is even good than qualcomm snapdragon 636 processors. But because of missing fingerprint scanner and dual rear camera setup,i have placed it in 3rd position.But all that firepower surely makes the Realme 1 one of the best phones under Rs 15,000.
I went through GSMArena and tried to find out the differences between the both and the 6 differences I found were:
1) Corning Gorilla Glass 5 vs Corning Gorilla Glass 6
2) DCI - P3 vs DCI - P3 100% (Clarify?)
3) No UFS Vs UFS (Clarify?)
4) 4000 mAh vs 4085 mAh
5) Wrap 30 vs Wrap 30T
6) Snapdragon 855 Vs Snapdragon 855+
Can anyone clarify that if the second and third points are and what differences does it make to the performance.
Also, I know both the devices use the same camera hardware so will 7 Pro too get all the camera updates as in the Macro Mode, Super Slow-Mo, Hybrid Image Stabilisation and Ultra Wide Portrait Clicks.
What are other differences?

None of both phones (7 or 7 Pro) have the Snapdragon 855+. And none have Warp Charge 30T.
I'm not sure which phones you are comparing on GSMArena.
Both are using the Snapdragon 855. Both have UFS 3.0 Storage.
Maybe take a look here: https://www.gadgetsnow.com/compare-mobile-phones/OnePlus-7-vs-OnePlus-7-Pro
I'm assuming you mean the OnePlus 7t pro vs the OnePlus 7 pro...
They both have ufs 3.0 storage. That allows faster read and write speeds. The cameras are the exact same but they moved the laser autofocus which is why the 7t pro can do the macro photos, I assume. The 7t pro comes with Android 10 on it. The 7t pro comes with only 8gb of RAM and 256gb onboard unless you get the McLaren edition, which comes with up to 12gb of RAM whereas the 7 pro can be configured with 128gb-512gb onboard and 6gb-12gb of RAM. The 7t pro adds the new haze color and the McLaren edition. Both have DCI p3 for the display. P3 is a color calibration. Same exact screen as far as I can tell. Everything else is correct. Also, just a note, the 7t pro is not available in US markets.
