Ok guys is it just me? I have had my note 8.0 since it came out in the meantime I have had the tab pro 10.1 and the nexus 9 both really disappointing. Yet my note 8.0 still fies super fast and fluid my nexus 9 stutters and drives me mad. How com the small note series work so well. Note 2 and 3 included. I swear my note 3 runs more fluid than the note 4 maybe the Qhd display not sure.
wierd that the note 8.0 is the only keeper androud tab I have had.

Good to hear. I'm seriously considering picking one up. Are you running stock?
if the note 8 have a good battery than the nexus , it will be the best for ever

My AT&T Note 8 has excellent battery life; around 7 hours of screen time with 4g always on.
I get >10,000 Quadrant on Note 8 after 4.4.x update.
It appears N5110 is pretty solid and it still performs well after a year and half.
Totally agree, years later and still the most functional.

Totally agree. Can't wait for a note 8 rehash. It's a real "niche" market though for "us". The stylus and screen size are just great for notes. Not too big like the note 10.1 or 12 inchers (unless you're a graphic artist). Just small enough to fit in a coat pocket with the functionality of a small clip board but with the robustness of a mini computer. Plus games run perfect. Still running on JB stock. Have no intention of ever upgrading to Kit-kat so long as it has that terrible "no write to sd card" policy for 3rd party apps (which really ruined so many wonderful sync apps for the note 8 such as folder sync, syncme, ES file explorer, airdroid, camera ace, WPS office). I like the bezels (good for holding up the note with one hand and writing with a stylus on the other). Plus ram is just right. 2 gigs with a little over 1 gig ram for the actual "end user." I checked out the note 4 with 3 gigs of ram stock and it has a little less than 1 gig of ram for the end user (so Sammy filled up all that gorgeous ram with bloatware again). I think the note 8 on the last stable update for stock jellybean is the best at least for me (excluding of course the amazing roms available on XDA but rom flashing is a totally different universe to play around with putting the note 8 on a totally different level).
Hello there
I'm currently in the search for a new smartphone and i have narrowed my search down to the Mate 7 and the Note 4. I currently own the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact which i a fine phone, but it's just way too small for my preferences.
I have previously owned a couple of Samsung phones, the latest a Galaxy Note 2 which i loved but i grew a little tired of their Touchwiz interface. The Emui interface seems fresher and i really like what i've seen in reviews so far, but i have my doubts about how "well rounded" and worked through it is compared to the Note 4's Touchwiz.
I don't play a lot of demanding games
I browse a lot
I use the camera quite often but i'm not an enthusiast
What phone would you recommend/buy?
I'm going to buy the phone on a 2 year contract and the difference in price isn't a problem.
I sold my Note 4 and bought the HAM7 and have no regrets. I have had all the top Samsung since the original Galaxy S and some Xperias along the way but this one has suprised me the most. Well built, best batterytime I have ever experienced, great screen and a surprisingly good camera. I had lags in TW on my Note4 and some freezing where I had to remove the battery to get it going again and that should not occure on a flagship at that price. The Huawei was a lot cheaper and performs on pair with the Note4 without the lagging and so. I also prefer Huaweis UI over TW, it is cleaner and love how you can change themes. And the fingerscanner is superb. I have also been thinking of getting the P7 just to try it out. All in all I am happy I got this one :thumbup:

at price point, ham7 is a better deal than sgn4, especially for us who are so tired of lagwiz.
@rikken - Cool, thanks for the answer The battery performance and fingerprint scanner is a major plus. I also like that they have "kept" the screen resolution at full hd
Just ordered the phone! Thanks for your input :good:

Me, I look for VALUE. I bought a Mate2, in 2014 on a whim. It SURPRISED me how well it worked on an SD400 with a 720p screen.
It was the FIRST phone I've owned that I never rooted. Owned it for over 2 1/2 years, never powered it off unless I was some place that
required it to be turned off. 100% stock.
Last winter, when the Mate8 came out, I LOVED it...except for one minor detail. THE PRICE. So I just kept the 2 and waited. When the
Mate9 was announced, I started watching the price on the 8. When it came down to a level I found ok, I bought it. "But, the 9 is right
around the corner". Yeah, and the price is similar to what the 8 was less than a year ago.
The dual camera, and other do-dads didn't impress me.
I've got the 8, the camera for a point/shoot is pretty good, the performance is top notch, along with another kick butt battery.
Right now, I'm a Huawei fan.

me too
i had never had a phone mid range to high end always low range phones
and now i'm gonna pay 300$ (230 JOD) to 400$ (300 JOD)
the phones i mentioned all at the price range
but have a different specification and i can't decide without seeing the user experience after all
mate 9 at my country worth 450 JOD ( 600$ ) and damn that's alot of money to put in mobile phone

Hi guys
i'm going for Huawei Nova Plus now
is really good phone and worth the price of it ?
how is the performance in real life ? for web browser and camera ? battery ?
what about the battery UI manual mode is it full control ? can someone give me screen shot for the manual settings ?
can i save pic in RAW mode ?
and anyone tried EMUI 5.0 beta
does it have the same features like Mate 9 or what ?
If you can get the Moto z play, everything is better but the design. My experience with the 5 inch nova is that it is overpriced and I'll get a discounted S7 instead.
I sold my htc10 for the huawei Nova. I totally love my phone.
Even rooted with xposed and 200 apps i get a screen on time from over 5hours and still have 50 percent left....
This must be something about 9-10 hours sot.
For me, it is just the contrary. I find moto z play overpriced. I'm just 2 days with nova and I'm very happy with it. Ofc if you expect a flagship performance from it, you're looking for other devices. But for a midranger, it is pretty good
Here Moto Z is over priced same goes to Lenovo p2 plus Lenovo and build quality pls Nova is the iPhone 6s of Android if we put them side by side we will find alot of similarities plus if you like Nexus 6P Nova is Nexus 6P lite
Plus paying for gimik such as Moto mods that u will use maximum 2-3 time's and pay extra Nova is not just mid range device but upper mid range so it's one Step under the new flagship's but better in last year once the mid range devices even today are with 1.5 to 2 GB RAM same as the last year aka see the Samsung LG HTC and etc you will see no more than SD615 in good cases Sd620 or equivalent SoC
For me the performance of Nova is as good as the htc 10 which really is one flagship at the moment.
At some points i get a better performance with emui then with sense... Few games, just working and multitasking, browsing and text...
We only need a kernel dev in our forum ?
Once huawei releases the source it is all open. Waiting for this before buying the device.
Ok... 1 Down.. 1 To Go...
Honor has now impressed me with this Honor 7X.
The 7X is already going Head to Head with the shiny new Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.
And it's Kicking It's Ass.
ROUND 1: Memory Management ... Winner The Honor 7X
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKDhb1CZ29M
ROUND 2: Camera Comparison... Winner The Honor 7X ( For Outside Shots.. IMO ) Inside? you may chose the N5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VULfz1LXFxY
Round 3: Screen: Winner Note 5 Pro * ( If you like saturation, there is a little more in the N5... you can see it in the screen icons in the Memory Management Vid )
Round 4: Style Points... Winner Honor 7X.. Bezels are clearly slimmer...
Winner 3 Rounds To 1... * The Honor 7X*.. :highfive:
Now..... Let's See What The Moto G6 Plus Will Bring To The Party.
I agree I've been a Xiaomi fan for a while but swapped to a 7x a month or so ago.
Glad I did, it's more stylish smaller slimmer and lighter than the 5 pro & I got a 64gb for the same price.

Good Deal Sir...
You will not get the same Developer Support you had with the Xiaomi.. but I feel this is the 1st phone I've owned that does not required Root Access..
I personally don't see any apps that I would use that I'm not using right now without root.. Now A Days, with No Root Adaway, Themes with Customized Theme Managers, Extreme Battery Saving options, Screen Tempeture adjustments, DPI adjustments, Floating Docs etc.. nothing else is needed.
It's a new day.. times have changed.. Customization as well as Personalization can be had right out of the box.
Enjoy Your 7X Man... You scored a great deal.
I've rooted mine. But I agree I always had to put cyanogen or lineage to replace MIUI but with this EMUI its nice and with root it fills in a few gaps that a full Lineage would provide.
If OpenKirin team release AOSP or lineage I probably won't replace EMUI
Kool..

I can change the navigation bar , icons , settings style and locations but I'm unable to change the position of the status bar icons .
If it's a personalized theme can you upload the theme or atleast systemui file please :angel:

But am shifting to note 5 pro because of the processor and HUGE DEVELOPER SUPPORT....i have been waiting for the support for this device and cant wait anymore...no oreo update still....even note 5 pro wont get oreo update any time soon but developers somehow work very hard for mi devices....i have seen huge support for note3,note4 and A1 devices. So BYE Honor forever
Can't Blame You..

Hey Kiran.. Hate To See You Go...
But.. I understand why you are making the switch to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.
YES.. in time..( you'll still need Kernel Source or a port of Project Treble ) Developer Support will outstrip the 7x 5 to 1...
There Really Is NO Guarantee The 7x Will Get Anymore Than Base Support.
It's funny how everyone just assumes...
People rooting their devices left and right... throwig their warranty out the window and don't even have a stock image to flash should they need it.. or like you are ready to move on from it.. and need to return it to stock.
At first, I thought root and rom for the 7x was still the way to go..
But this is 2018.. And if a person does their research, they'll see there is NOTHING one can't now do / have with the stock setup that a Custom ROM can do.. Especially when it comes to the 7x.. Outside of just being different to be different.. ( And YES That Is What XDA Is All About )
I wish you all the best with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.. That Snapdragon 636 is GUARANTEED to get LOTS of attention.
For Me *100% Stability & Functionality* are the PARAMOUNT requirment at this stage of the game.
I did not pay hard earned dollars to see Exclamation Screens & "Android has stopped unexpectedly" Screens along with hearing there's a fix coming for this and a fix coming for that...
No Thanks.
Only stock ROM's (even debloated.. don't really care for Deodexed.. slows things down just a wee bit..) are the way to go for the forseeable future IMO..
Again especially with the 7x.. it's just feature rich right out of the box..along with so many mods now that don't even require root.
It's been weeks now since the 1st B192 (Face Unlock / AR) update was released.. and only 20% of the planet has gotten it.. at this pace.. full rollout of B192 and EMUI / OREO 8.0 won't be completed until Mid / Late Summer.
Anywho..
Goodbye & Goodluck with your Xiaomi Mr. K !
One Final Question..

Hey Kiran.. 1 Question Sir,
Did you root? if so, are you going to sell it as a "Rooted Device" ?
And... If you did root.. don't you have to go through some proceedure with Honor to get a code to unlock the bootloader? so now there is no warranty.. and it's been Permenantly registered with Honor as a unsecured device?
Just wondered if facing these possible conditions, will it cause you to lower your selling price if selling publicly.
Thanks if don't mind sharing.. Feel Free To P. M. Me If you Like...
