Do I buy this phone?

What is your opinion is it worth of price? Do I buy it or go for note 3/4?

Both are great
I have both phones and I like each phone for different reasons. I really like the sleekness and the larger screen on the Mate 7 and it works great on T Mobile. Outdoors the screen could be brighter though. For travel purposes I would probably default to the Note 4 because it has a better camera and shoots 4K video. And I really have always liked the built in pen capabilities of the Note series. I hear Huawei may be announcing the Mate 8 soon (March?) which might be worth checking out but might also lower the price on the Mate 7. For the last couple of weeks I have been using the Mate 7 exclusively and knowing what I know now I might be hard pressed to spend $700+ on the Note 4. I happened to have been in Cambodia when the Mate 7 was first released and bought it for $470 with case. I use a 128GB SD card in it with no problems. I find the speaker on the Mate 7 to be louder than the Note 4 which I really like when walking near traffic.

@bkkcnxsi Thx for replay. I heard from some people that huawei generaly have tehnical hardware problems and after few months of using visiting service is necessary. This serie of "Mate 7" does not have that problems?

Hardware is okay, software is crap. Big screen, but less data on it than on a cheapie Nexus 5. Huawei just made all the graphics and text super huge so you have a massive phone to carry in your pocket for zero benefit. Made for 80-year-old grandmas with vision problems, I guess.

I personally like my AM7, in order of most recently owned phones, I've had: LG G3 -> Sony Xperia Z1 -> Nexus 5 -> Galaxy Note 3, so my experiences come from owning those phones.
The is the best phone I've owned in a few aspects: 1) battery life; 2) build quality; 3) ergonomics; 4) hardware.
Battery life speaks for itself, as I've consistently had 6 hours of on screen time (note: I use Xposed with Greenify, and GPS usually off and at 65-75% brightness). Simply put: it's a complete monster of a phone in terms of battery life.
The build quality is simply staggering as there aren't many Android phones out there that can compete. The quality speaks for itself, as the only phone that can compare to it is the HTC One M8.
Ergonomics - the button placement is great, especially for the size of the phone. There's a minimal amount of bezels too, which means the phone's screen real estate is huge. The LG G3's take on button placement was nearly perfect, and Huawei took advantage of this by placing the fingerprint scanner right where your index finger naturally lays.
Hardware - fingerprint scanner, octacore processor, 'nuff said.
Cons: software, software, software, camera, software.
This phone's software is cumbersome at times. It has moments of brilliance, but is overall not great. I'm currently running Nova launcher to replace the ghastly stock launcher. But certain aspects of the stock theme cannot be replaced by Xposed apps and what not. Things include: inability to remove the alarm clock from the notification bar, pull down menus, recent apps layout, etc.Hopefully, Lolipop will fix a few of these issues.
Overall, the phone is spectacular. There's always going to be something better in the market in 4-5 months, but I can see myself living with this phone for a while, but it all depends on when we get 5.0 and if at least a few of the software issues are resolved.

To be fair not a single smartphone is manufactured yet which is totally perfect. Take any phone and go to their forum and see what people are complaining.
In my opinion this is the best phone I ever saw. The most important thing for me is the battery life. It gives me easily 9 to 10 hours of screen time which is more than sufficient for me. I don't think that there is any other phone in the market giving you this much screen on time. All this time wifi is on and surfing the net plus Facebook and Facebook videos...

It depends on what you looking for. If you want concern battery, screen side , two sim card . Mate 7 will be a good choice. If you concern the cpu speed , and camera ,you should note 4. I buy Mate 7 , because it have 6 mon and can support 4g in hong kong and china. Not much choice can meet my requirements , finally I choose Mate 7

Do you plan to move to another big tablet (iPad PRO, Surface Pro 4 and Pixel C)?

Hello, when my Note PRO 12.2 works, it is quite useful. However, when it fails, it is very bad. One time I fully charged the device in the evening. In the middle of the day, it ran out of power. I could not take photo with a beautiful girl I met. Last week, when I asked somebody to take photo of me and a cute girl, the device rebooted again itself when the guy pressed the camera app button. I also failed to take a few important photos when this malfunction happened. Although somebody pointed out that this might be due to a loose connection problem, it seems to be software related. Why always the camera apps (one built in and another 3rd party)? It seems that when the apps tried to access the camera, the device rebooted.
Anyway, I am considering to move to another platform. How many of you plan to get an iPad PRO, Surface Pro 4 or Pixel C? Due to the camera-reboot issue, I consider to stay away from Android device. Don't know the battery consumption and actual weight of the iPad PRO and Surface Pro 4 yet. I do want cellar phone function and a stylus. Is the Surface Pro 4 my best bet?

It's not beyond the realm of possibility for the loose connection to be such that pushing power requirements beyond a certain point causes stability issues. Like Beut said in the other thread, you could always do a factory reset and then immediately test the camera to see if you regain stability in its use.
As for buying into another platform, you say that you want cell phone function . . Is that even possible with the other options? Highly unlikely with the iPad for sure . .

I have the p905 model
I did not take many pictures with because i have my note edge and nikon d750 dslr but i did not have any problems with taking pictures with
Anyway
I don't think that there is any tablet in similar size that can compete with the note pro
Maybe some specs are outdated compares to others but it function very well for me
If they make a new note pro with an amoled screen then i might consider buying it or the samsung view 18.4" if it is released

Mine has never rebooted itself.
Which is a vast improvement over my previous Asus Transformer TF700T... That thing rebooted constantly. (It had some serious I/O issues. Update 3 apps at once and it reboots.).
At any rate, I will certainly consider a Surface Pro 4, on one very vital condition: That it has an Nvidia GPU, as opposed to that IntelHD piece of ****. Anything with an IntelHD isn't worth more than 5 quid.
Edit: The Surface Pro 4 comes with an IntelHD. I will not spend a single euro on such crap.

It seems that the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Note do not have LTE option

Mine too never rebooted, and it is rooted with lollipop. The only problems I had was a couple of reboot stuck at samsung logo while installing applications that required a reboot, such as AD-Away.
Problem solved long pressing the power button and then booting again.
Even the battery still gives me 10 full working hours.
So, I plan to use it until Samsung releases a new comparable device.
A second one, not rooted, as it is in the hands of my daughter and the rest of the family, performs equally well.
SM-P905

I'll wait for the next Android of a similar or larger size device.
Surface Pro 4 is too expensive and Windows applications (and many of it's internal components) do not scale well at high DPI. I had the Yoga Pro 3 (3200x1800) and returned it due to it's bad scaling. I got a laptop in exchange at 17.3" at 1920x1080 and still scaling is bad (not as bad). Windows 8.1/10 at high DPI is not as near as good as Android. So no Windows tablet for me, thank you.
iPad is too closed of a system for me, even for multimedia consumption everything has to go through iTunes, so no.
Pixel C, although a good idea with stock Android is too small compared to NotePRO 12.2, so no.
I' d love a "Pixel C" type of tablet at 12.2" with stock Android for smoothness and fast updates. If you come across one drop me a line.
My current tablet is the SM-P905, Lollipop, rooted (never had blue screens, never had reboots)

Windows tablets are better at productivity and Android tablets are better for consumption. Android fakes productivity way better than Windows tablets fake consumption. With 12" tablets being made chic by Apple it proves the Note 12 was ahead of its time. For me, there's no reason to go anywhere else. With the Pixel C there may be some developer interest in building more/better Android productivity apps that'll only benefit us.

I wanted the surface but battery life and lack of lte are holding me back. I have the 907a.
I was praying that the surface would have at least 10 hours.
I still have hope that Samsung will announce something between 12-13 inches with decent specs and battery life, as dell failed to impress.

Yeah I'm getting a surface pro 4. I'm going to use it mostly for photo and video editing. My note can process raw files OK with photometers r2 but it drains the battery very quickly. Would rather have the fully powered and featured windows machine. Plus I'll run something like bluestockings if I need a few android apps. Not that I use many apps anyways. Mostly lecture notes and the browser.
I'll keep my note pro though. Still trying to get the thing to work properly though....

Just picked up an i7 Surface Pro 4 to replace my Note 12.2.

I have been looking for a replacement for mine (lte on Verizon) because of the poor battery life I have been getting. I need it to last all day. The problem I've found is that there still isn't anything that would be an "upgrade" that would be worth buying. I think I just need to doggie out my battery issue for now.

I chose the GN Pro 12.2 because it was 12.2" with Android.
I need Android (I play on a game which is only available on Android) and I need a 12,2" screen (I read comics).
Surface is Windows
Ipad is IOS
Pixel c is Android but 10,2" so too small.
And because I got many issues with Samsung devices (Tablet, TV, smartphone, etc...), I will never buy any other Samsung devices.
If you got something else, than the proposed tablet, it would be interesting to share.

I have had the note pro 12.3
2 since it came out. As a digital artist it was the best for me. Always being an android lover I stayed away until 3 weeks ago and several months of searching and trying Android and windows tablets and 2 in 1's. It really sucks that android did not continue with evolving the note pro 12.2. Finally after much internal torture I bought the iPad pro 12.9 gen 3 tablet and the Apple pencil. All I can say is wow! Now I'm not going to become an apple convert because I love my note 8 (have no desire to upgrade at this time). But the tablet is phenomenal for digital art and all the basic stuff I used to do on my note pro. The only thing I can't stand on the iPad is the file management system. It's like your personal files are top secret. Android is light-years ahead in that aspect. If Samsung decides to put out a larger more powerful tablet I may go back to Android tablets. I absolutely loved infinite painter. It just blows my mind that they don't even try to compete with apple in the tablet world... But maybe that says something about apple's tablets.

I am not an Apple fan, but I did have an iPad Pro 12.2 LTE with 128 GB. It was a very nice and usable device.
I did not play games on it. I mostly read books, news articles and watched videos. It even had split screen which was nice. Long battery life. I was part of Apple's beta group which got new iOS operating systems before the general public. I never had an issue with the iPad. I am a Samsung devotee. Even though Samsung is terrible at updates and supporting older devices, I still love their products. My Note FE is great. I also do android development, so my Note FE and other devices have custom ROMs. If Apple would install android on their hardware, I would buy in a heartbeat. Or, if they had a developers version of their devices (unlocked, jail broken), I would buy.

Decision time! Is Mate 9 upgrade coming from S7/S7 Edge and other questions...

Hi guys,
It's decision time for me and would like to ask for your help knowing that you got real-world experience with Mate 9.
Background: Using now Galaxy S7 and before it I use to root and flash custom roms and tweak kernels but got tired from all that jazz. Now I just really want a fast phone, with big screen, great camera with great battery life that just work. So I got great offer from my mobile operator on European model Mate 9 and start thinking about it, as S7 got a small screen (for my liking and usage) and not so loud speaker (no bluetooth audio capabilities in my commute vehicle and love listening to podcasts while commute).
Questions:
1. Is it really fast or faster comparing to Pixel and Oneplus 3T? As speed is very important for me. Other variants that I am contemplating Oneplus 3T (but camera is concern and not stereo speaker is a minus)...
2. Is the screen really usable/great under daylight?
3. Are the speakers really loud (comparing to Galaxy S6, S7, HTC 10, LG V10 - this phones I got a experience with)?
4. Does the camera got better through the updates and is it fast at launching and focusing?
5. No way to double-tap-to-wake?
6. Is factory screen protector any good?
7. Does it slow down during the month of usage for you?
8. Notifications issue on European Models absolutely and completely gone for all EU users?
9. Signal + wifi signal any good? GPS any good?
10. Is it possible to go back to full and unrooted official stock rom after root?
11. Any news on 5.1 coming soon?
12. Ability to control apps auto-starts and apps auto-starts at boot?
13. Is there a performance mode present?
14. Any bending, build quality issues?
15. Fingerprint gestures?
16. How is touch sensitivity and the latency?
17. Are EU updates massively delayed comparing to other regions?
Wow. A lot of question I got here, but if I got the phone eventually I will update this post with answer to every question of mine.
I did read a lot of reviews and watch a lot of video review, but I value real user experience here on XDA most, not some reviewer that is getting the phone for free to review and changing phones constantly.
Thank in advance guys!

1. Fast enough.
2. Yes
3. Loud enough.
4. Camera good enough without update. Update only increases digital zoom. Recommend pro mode though. Launch speed and focus wise, S7 should be better.
5. Nope.
6. Decent. Still will get scratched.
7. Nope. May or may not stutter for a few apps. Maybe occasional stutters.
8. No notification issue for me. Using C636.
9. Signal not bad. Call did not drop even though have lousy reception. WiFi signal also decent.
10. Yes.
11. July?
12. Don't think so.
13. Nope.
14. Not for me since last year December.
15. Swipe down on fingerprint scanner for notification bar.
16. Touch sensitivity generally ok. Except for the left and right edge. Heard that it will be improved in emui 5.1.
17. EU is after Asia I think. Should not have massive delay.

2. Good even in bright sun.
6. Gets very greasy with fingermarks. There is also a back protector. I keep mine in a case so took both off.
9. Signal good. WiFi excellent. GPS OK for car use but has a number of issues.
14. Case is strong and well built but not waterproof.
16. No troubles with mine.

I upgraded month ago from S7E to Mate 9, and won't look back, the S7E looks like a toy that is waterproof
IP68, Samsung Pay, better low light performance is the advantages S7E has, and bigger development community, though it didn't make the phone much better in my XP( i tweak kernels and settings as well).
Forget battery anxiety with the mate 9, it will last no matter what u do, camera is better than S7 in normal light and some bokeh effects are amazing, screen is crisp and bright, and ye big, battery is great.
Settings are a bit puzzling but you'll used to it, my only complaint is that the speakers lose quality under full volume, could be better but the stereo speakers are good enough as it is, and better software argument, though EMUI 5.1 might solve it.

Coming from S7 Edge and LG G5, no way I go back. Love the brightness of the screen in sun, quick fingerprint reader. Great support by HiCare chat. Back cover the best I have found, even Leica leather cover cannot beat it.
Rest is answered!

Check youtube and use a google search.

Really mate, you have to be that grumpy guy? Did you read my post? That's what I wrote:
"I did read a lot of reviews and watch a lot of video review, but I value real user experience here on XDA most, not some reviewer that is getting the phone for free to review and changing phones constantly."
Not to mention that review sites and youtube bloggers are not using this phone for months like users here on XDA and did not buy the phone with their hard earned money and they are changing devices every week/every few weeks and they are not going deep into user experience like people using the device for 3-4 months and not getting through updated and so on, not to mention many of them are biased towards some brands.
I think that many other people are in front of the same choice like me and this thread will help them to take the decision to buy or not to buy this expensive and relatively unknown model/brand. Also if I buy the phone I will edit my first post and give my personal answers.
Anyway, have a nice day and be positive mate

1. Yes, the Kirin 960 SoC is one of the best around.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Yes, 10x zoom added recently up from 6x. Very fast launch and focus.
5. No.
6. Opinions diverge. I find mine absolutely perfect.
7. Not in my experience.
8. I never had notification issues.
9. Signal is brilliant. GPS is perfect for car driving but you might find it not accurate enough if you're mapping a run.
10. I don't root so can't comment.
11. 5.1 beta is just an internal name. It will be released as 5.0 afaik. Nobody knows when.
12. Not that I know of.
13. There are 2 power saving modes. Performance mode is the normal mode.
14. None whatsoever.
15. Yes
16. Quite good in my opinion, but still room for improvement.
17. They're among the first to be released.

What is the most stable / least buggy android experience?

Hi all,
I love battery life and a good camera experience in a phone. I have had both with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for the last two years. However, I can't deal with iOS anymore. I really would like to switch back to Android for many reasons.
What is the most stable / least buggy Android experience on a phone right now? It does not have to be stock Android if that comes with a bunch of bugs.
I ordered a Pixel 5A 10 days ago but Google has still not shipped it. Not sure what is going on.

I think you have the wrong idea about stability of Android in general.
Nevertheless, I use two phones atm, runing stock firmware and nova launcher pro
Xiaomi redmi note 9 pro, still holds up well, never had any serious issues. Bootloader unlocked, just rooted. Batteries on these are bests it can comfortably get me through the day. Camera is ok, still on the upper segment.
OnePlus 9R - a beast of a phone, but the battery is just not comparable to the note9 pro. Software is so-so, there are some bugs that can easily be fixed, for example some apps can keep the CPU awake and waste the battery, camera flash can heat up the phone and heat in general.
I think you should be fine with the pixel 5a. SD 765g runs much much cooler.
​

I have just been following the new Pixel 6 series for a while and wanted to upgrade but they seem to have so many bugs and issues. I have a Pixel 2XL and I loved it. Being in the US now, I was kind of forced to use an iPhone because of iMessage and I certainly enjoyed the battery life and the camera but I miss Android a lot. The iOS keyboard is just so bad in comparison for me and Apple does not really support third party keyboards very well. Still to this date and I am on iOS 16 dev channel. That is just one reason but certainly a big one for me.

Question Maybe it's me..

But I bought a Pixel 7 Pro for my wife to use. Her Note 20 had a cracked camera. We didn't check to see how much it was to fix at the time it got cracked.
After using Galaxy Note's for a while, she hated the Pixel. I got her Note fixed and paid off the Pixel. I've played with it while at home, but after using a Note 10 for awhile, its much more heavier and just feels cumbersome compared to the Note 10.
I do like a lot of what the Pixel experience offers. And it makes me think, should I sell the Pro and look at the regular 7? The size is comparable to the Note 10. But the thing that gives me pause is the battery life on the 7.
Is that a valid question to have?
Just need some advice. Thanks.

Battery life is an issue. It's not anywhere near as good as I had hoped right now, but there was a time it was stellar and a time when it was as bad as it is now

That's the one thing that kills me about the phone. I'll say this, the Note 10 I'm using still gets around 5 hrs SOT. And it's a much older phone.

I mean the Note 10 doesn't have 5G so feel free to disable the 5G modem and compare at that point. ALL 5G devices can be woefully inefficient given the right/wrong conditions. There are plenty of us exceeding that 5 hour SoT point which would seem to suggest there is some variable affecting you that isn't affecting all of us. I'm sitting at 50% with 4h12m15s right now on my 7 Pro...

I'm considering giving my wife the Pixel 7 Pro and going back to the OnePlus 11 (when available) - only because I need to set a specific ringtone for each of the SIMs and out of the box the Pixel cannot do this without using a 3rd party application. She enjoys taking pictures and the Pixel 7 Pro has one of the best cameras and she would enjoy this compared to her older iPhone device.

I been getting good battery life out of my Pixel 7 pro. Given I don't use my phone to much at work. Besides calling, sending some quick emails responses when not on my laptop and playing music on my headphones . I usually end the day with about 50% charge. That is with Bluetooth on and Samsung health app also running all the time. Screen time is very similar to the other user. I have learned to love the device and got used to the size as I have had always bigger phones. My wife's pixel 7 also has been pretty good in both departments. My prior two phones (Xiaomi mi 11, OnePlus 7t ) would have also a very similar screentime and that was without 5g. I have to say live and work in an area that has solid 5g so for me it's been pretty solid too. The pixel experience is also pretty nice. Also you can set individual contacts ringtones on the pixel 7 pro and 7. When entering the contact on the right hand corner the three dot menu will give you the option to set individual ringtones for that contact . I don't use dual sim but perhaps you can manage like that .cheers
