You should consult a doctor for your eyes.
Edit : The hardware is good, but the way how the software use it is pretty bad. Everytime I have to inscrease sharpness, contrast etc with photoshop to make descent pictures with this phone. I didn't have to do that with my LG G3.

You must have a custom made Mate 8 with a better camera. And apparently a bigger screen as well.
That might explain things. The rest of us have a mediocre camera and a smaller screen.

I understand your point of view. After all, if you like your device, that's the most important. But in comparison with some lastest flagship made by LG or Sammy, the Mate 8 camera pics are really %*^!*ù$^:!. I'm thinking to sell my device coz of this (I miss my bricked lg g3).

consider the budget inside $250 if its 1080p it would be IPS only and you would miss OLED screens 64 GB is impossible
lets talk what could happen
Don't expect below $300 for non LTE model.

Why not 410? It also supports 64 bit? And more important thing you will not get 610 in the current price rate.

410 is more battery efficient than 400 nothing great
check motorola 410 rumours benchmarks itz same as 400
only Adreno 306 not much difference
Lenovo made a $100 phone with 410

64-bit is useless if below 4GB RAM and the OS isn't 64-bit and/or the applications. Which most aren't.

Does any body knows what kind of custom ROM used on Chinese fake Samsung Note 4
I had a high copy "replica" of Samsung NOTE 4
here is the link
Here are the specs (All are faked)
CPU: Actual Dual core 1.2GHZ MT6572 >> Showing in CPU-Z as 3GHZ Octacore
RAM: Actual 1GB >> Showing in CPU-Z as 3GB RAM
ROM: Actual 8GB >> Showing as 64GB
CAM: real 8MP (shooting at max 720p video / 3264 x 2448 pixels photo >> Showing as 16MP in most Cam apps even google cam, cam 360, retro cam
Front CAM: 2.1 MP camera ............ showing as it is
sensors: faking heart rate monitor, actual using heart rate apps using cam flash
the body is metal with hardened plastic, battery has the same Diameters as original
all of this and they cam with the same TouchWiz UI as real NOTE 4 with support to S-pen
even in about phone it says real info about Samsung even real IMEI !!
they even had a hacked Antutu version which shows a score of more than 41000, F!!K
how they can do such a thing, I 'm actually amazed, because some one can get really deep in this **** and people deceive him and steal his money
I bought the fake NOTE 4 with 120 US $ worthy
while the real one equals roughly 655 US $ worth
the only program to spot real component is Passmark and 3D mark
Can any one upload these Custom roms for devices like LG p715 or other Geniune devices
to give them the feel and look of NOTE 4
I guess you get what you pay for..Good luck finding a custom recovery or ROM for that. And remember, if you brick it, its a $120 paperweight

The processor Kirin 960 doesn't outperform Snapdragon 835 in benchmarks but who cares about benchmarks in 2017 the real life performance of Honor 8 pro seems to be just smooth even while gaming and other stuff and their is a plus point that the Kirin 960 processor doesn't seem to get overheated while playing heavy games unlike Snapdragon 835 in OnePlus 5 so I'd feel to opt or prefer the underrated Honor 8 pro or Honor 6X or Honor 9 against OnePlus 5 considering the price that Honor Phones are available!
If you get your hands on honor 8 pro, please tell us how it compares against OP5
People still care about benchmarks in 2017. Wow.

Honor 8 pro is no slouch in terms of performance. It's a real flagship in performance. You can keep 20 or maybe more apps open at the same time. I have tried with 10 and none of the apps closed abruptly.
Apps open quick.

This is why benchmarks are becoming pointless. Every 2017 flagship performs like this. Thoughts @joe2k01?

And I don't even understand those speed tests comparing two smart phones together. I mean who is gonna compare them in real life. No one uses a stopwatch to calculate the time.
People get mad if one phone manages to open some app 2 seconds earlier and crown it as the king. Come on.[emoji23]

I was a rom freak. I loved customising my phone a lot with all the features. I am using a custom skin for the first time and I am absolutely not missing any feature from custom rom (except maybe double tap to sleep and wake).
And so, I am not feeling the need to root this device. The performance out of the box is exceptional.

I completely disagree with that.
Honor 8 pro has a bigger and higher resolution screen with higher body to screen ratio.
Homor 8 pro has better chipset with larger ram and internal storage.
Honor 8 pro has a better front facing camera.
The things that could have been upgraded are -
Rear camera - Both honor 8 and honor 8 pro have cameras with same aperture (f2.2). I would have liked the aperture to be atleast 2.0 on honor 8 pro.
Amoled screen - Maybe they could have used an amoled screen
Nothing else really. I am completely OK with my Honor 8 pro. Just want 8.0 upgrade by the end of year.

Hello all,
which of these two would you suggest?
I prefer bigger screen, but since it's only a 0.3 inch difference that's not a big deciding factor.
the most important factor for me is durability, both in terms of software (higher chance for future android updates) and hardware (build quality).
I know the SoC on honor 8 is better, but I don't play games, is the SoC on Nova 2 plus enough for web surfing, youtube, facebook, etc. ?
also battery life is very important.
(don't suggest honor 8 pro, because it's much more expensive in my country. these two are the same price)
please help me decide, i am dying here :crying: :crying:
nova 2 + ::
Metal body ,best cameras f 1.8 ( pictures will be awesome),battery is good backup with 3340 mAh,new Soc have to see wheather it performs well.
Honor 8::
Premium feel , great development(custom oreo is under-desk),decent battery life.good performance,cheap.also we got 2 years policy software update.
i prefer honor 8 over nova 2 +.
choose wisely
If you want battery, then go with Nova 2 plus.
All I can say now is, do a list with the things you want in a phone then, see which fots your needs better
All the best
I think u should go for the Honor 8 rather than the Nova 2 Plus. Obviously it has a greater chance of getting future software updates but considering how much more expensive it is than the Honor 8 it doesn't seem to be worth the money.
It has a Kirin 6xx series processor instead of the 9xx series processor. The 6xx series is a mid ranger processor so the performance will never live up to the Honor 8. It only has A53 cores which are low power cores. Whereas the Honor 8 has both A53 and A72 which means performance will be a lot better. Even in the graphics front the Honor 8 easily outclasses it with a 4 core GPU instead of a 2 core GPU. U might see battery gains thought because of the SOC only running off of A53 cores.
About the camera it won't be a huge upgrade from the Honor 8. It has a selfie camera with 20MP which will definitely be better but in terms of rear cameras it might perform only a little better in low light because of it's f1.8 aperture.
Considering how the processor and GPU is a downgrade and how the camera is only marginally better I think I would go for the Honor 8.
But then again it depends on what u want better performance or better battery life.
I've also attached a full spec comparison below.

I know the SoC on honor 8 is better, but I don't play games, is the SoC on Nova 2 plus enough for web surfing, youtube, facebook, etc. ?
also battery life is very important.
(don't suggest honor 8 pro, because it's much more expensive in my country. these two are the same price)
please help me decide, i am dying here :crying: :crying:

Ikr. Till date I regret getting the white Honor 8. I should have gone for the blue!

I'm pretty satisfied with the midnight black :good:
