The subject says it all.. I'm totally confused which phone to get. Huawei Mate 7 offer a huge screen, long battery life, but no guarantee of Lollipop and 13MP camera.. Z3 has Lollipop coming soon plus 20MP camera, but only 5.2" screen.
Any suggestions.. or comparisons between the two?
Thanks..

I just found a video review to share with you of the Galaxy Note II done by PhoneArena.com
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp_REhzPPEo
it is good review but they did not provide enough info regarding the battery.
What do you guys think?
I think that it is not a review, it is a ****ty article with not all the features that we already know weeks ago in the search of traffic for making money being "the first"
Where are the test of
- Audio quality
- Slow motion camera
- Record screen
- S-pen advance features like "losing the pen"
- Battery tests
- ram available to the user
- storage, 2gb partition for data and 10 to user? Or 12 to all?
Seriously, that its not a review. Waiting for anandtech or gsmarena
Sir, there is a Review thread established, Thank You and closed.

Hey Guys, Finally Lollipop has arrived with ART and material design . Post your pictures with Camera in KitKat then in Lollipop to compare and see if anything has changed.
Test it in both low light and good light conditions with before/after
Thank you all

PS Looking forward to the reviews!
It gets my attention. I think they did right thing with xiaomi this time.
Really hope that some good reviews will come out soon. Especially comparing it with the Meizu M2 note, i know the soc is not comparable but for me battery life and screen quality are more important. For now it is very hard to find reviews, especially since all the chinese resellers and fansites abuse the word by saying review for a spec listing or spec comparing article/video. We really should invent a new keyword for a true full review with all benchmarks and measurements included. I have found a decent hands on video in chinese sadly youtube captions are not very up to the specialist smartphone talk so are more miss than hit.
Really like the phone so far. But its not in me to buy tech without a good review.
Ah cant link as this is my first post here.

Hi All,
I've bought both the Xiaomi Mi5s (miui 8 global) and the OnePlus 3T (oxygen OS 4.03 Android 7) and am trialling both for a few before I send the loser (if you could possibly call one of these great phones a loser) back. I'm finding it very difficult to chose.
Either phone is a huge upgrade from my previous and very safe and stable iPhone 5s. I hope you can help me resolve my conundrum.
My thoughts so far on the comparison:
Software and interfaces:
Both phones have great software but for me the xiaomi swings it on being more customisable in terms of the interface, being able to easily change themes. As nice as changing themes is however, a lot of the themes are like those Kodi skins with weird phrases like "seize the moment" plastered on the home screen. It is a nice to have though and some of them have added some clever navigation features for app sidetray access.
It has a couple of other features that are nice to haves like 'force touch' and recording calls as a standard option but both of these features I would rarely use and can live without. Miuis second space feature is a bit surplus to requirements considering fingerprint locking is all you need for security I'm not sure why I'd need to hide apps etc on another part of the phone, I also found it a bit slow to switch spaces.
Hardware:
Here the OnePlus wins, more ram more speed, not that noticeable in day to day operations but the fingerprint sensor on the Xiaomi has been disappointing, even after rescanning my thumb a couple of times it still either fails to unlock or takes a long time to unlock. The OnePlus 3T is super quick on the fingerprint unlock like the speed of light and very reliable for me. Screen sizes on both are nice, I prefer the larger OnePlus though. I would also say the microphone sensitivity on the OnePlus 3T is better in picking up the "OK google" commands. Both seem to be quite quiet on phone calls with the earphones plugged in, if you make regular conference calls this is quite annoying and there are lots of complaints on the xiaomi forums regarding this for the global rom.
Camera:
This is where the big let down is on the 3T and probably the reason I am still hanging on to the xiaomi . Despite impressive specs on paper I've found shots low in detail compared to the Xiaomi and poor when shooting moving objects. Low light performance is not great on both but overall I feel the Xiaomi Mi5s is the better camera. Video recording I can't comment, both seem to very similar. I'm not a huge photographer and don't post lots of pictures to social media so maybe I can live without it. I'm hoping something can be done with the OP3T camera to resolve some of the above issues.
Athetics and buttons etc:
I like the feel of the OP3T better but the Xiaomi is easier to hold on accounts of is size.
Anyway I hope you can help me with some thoughts here, would love to keep both but I ain't that rich, ideally I'd merge the two but it just can't happen.
No offense but starting your review (and the software aspect) talking about themes is ..... meh.

OK so maybe you could suggest what's more important for you personally? Am I too hung up on the themes aspect?
Xiaomi Mi5s has a rear camera sensor with 1.55 um pixels (IMX 378 - As in the G Pixel), yet low light performance is not great? How come?
"Despite impressive camera specs on paper for 3T" - The Mi5S has more impressive specs on paper.
Because sensor is not everything my friend
Hello Oneplus Users!
I own a Huawei p9 lite 2016. I got some good deals with oneplus 5/5T.
I want some suggestions and answers. Is it worth to get either a Oneplus 5/5T?
If yes, which one and i want an opinion if you own one of these devices (valid your point)
If not, valid your point as well.

Hello, please have a look to those real life reviews https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/review and also this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
The difference between those two are obviously the design. You should decide what design you want. Otherwise they are nearly identical from technical specs(screen differs for sure).
Pro oneplus 5:
- better battery life
- tele photo camera (2x lossless zoom)
- front fingerprint sensor (for me is a big plus!)
- slightly smaller body.
I definitely choose op5 over op5t.
