Hello guys, i wanna ask you a simple question because i'm confused and really need to make a right decision, so should i buy Huawei P9 lite or Samsung Galaxy A5(2016). They are really similar and there is no big difference in price, also they have pretty much same performances, maybe some of you are not finding this like big problem but trust me i do and i really need to hear opinion from someone who is more experienced in this field than me.
Thanks.

I don't know about the a5 2016 and the rom development,but if it has CM and if you don't mind the fact that there are hardware keys and a fingerprint sensor in the front instead of the back,I'd go for the A5. They have two variants(one with snapdragon 615 and one with exynos). My guess is that if any variant has CM,its definitely the ss615 variant,and SD615 is much slower than the Kirin 650 on the P9 Lite(I had an Idol 3 5.5" with SD615 and boy was it sluggish...).
In the end,the P9 Lite is newer and faster. And we will hopefully get CM fully working in the near future.
And if you go for the P9 Lite,buy the 3GB RAM variant. I have a 2GB variant because I didn't have a choice and because it doesn't bother me. However,others say it is much better with 3GB of RAM,so...

Galaxy A5 2016 is very slow, due to the Touchwiz.
I go with Huawei p9 lite.

Yep,Huawei all the way then.
SD615 is old now and it's really pathetic.
And the 2GB variant is just a bit weaker in keeping lots of apps open at the same time. Other than that,the 3GB and the 2GB ones are the same(snappy and smooth).

now thats funny, even though the mate 8 has a comparably "weak" gpu. its probably because its energy efficient and doesnt throttle at all in long term like all the other socs

Look carefully at the table. It showed the result of both games, and Mate 8 came out on top in both games.
The result comes down to Mate 8 being a larger metal phone. It handles the heat better and therefore doesn't throttle as much. The Kirin 955 on smaller phones such as the P9 and Honor 8 doesn't have same level of gaming performance.
The results are not surprising. I've always been telling people they can't judge a phone's gaming performance just by looking at the specs of the SoC or by the Antutu/3Dmark scores. High end phones nowadays are often limited by thermal capacity, rather than by the number of GPU cores or clock speed. Benchmarks won't reveal that because it only stress the CPU OR GPU and only for a short period. In actual gaming both the CPU AND GPU are stressed for a much longer period of time, therefore sustained performance is determined largely by thermal capacity and throttling strategy. Too bad some people still believe they'll get 3x the gaming performance by going Exynos 8890 instead of Kirin 950.

Exactly, VNS-L31 has 3gb of Ram.
I think that is the only difference
2gb Ram variant is not as good as 3gb variant, quite substantially too. I know the phone is identical in every other way, but that extra GB of ram makes the p9lite a solid phone. There's definitely a difference regarding multitasking.

To me it isn't that hurtful.
The "poor" ram management is because of EMUI,it will probably be a better situation with AOSP and CM.

Hi.
I want to suggest opening a forum for Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime.
gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4_prime-8263.php
Presales keep going for Xiaomi's best phone yet.
It has all a phone needs: from snapdragon 625, 3GB ram, 5.0 inch display (to those who like small screens), fingerprint sensor, 4000mAh battery etc. and all this for only 150 dollars !!!
It is very popular and people started to make some ROMs for it.

I own my jiayu S3 since a long time. It's simply the best phone I have had so far. I love it, and I even bought another one for my wife. But with the applications updates and time passing, the 16 Gb of memory is simply not enough anymore for my usage.
I would like to find a replacement phone similar to my Jiayu with at least 32 Gb of memory and 4 Gb of ROM. The new phone should be dual sim (I work and live in two countries), compatible with European 4G, provide an extension for a memory card (that doesn't use a sim slot) and be easily rootable (I'm an IT engineer, so this is a must). The price should also be less then 300€ (my Jiayu S3 costed me less than 200€, with accessories and shipment included).
Is there any phone that can match this ? I just can't find any so far. I'm asking here because I suspect I'm not the only one wondering what one can use after a Jiayu S3.

It's a tough one. Been looking too for some upgrade after 2+ years of S3 use but there is always one or two things that you have to sacrifice - NFC, separate mSD slot, or sometimes B20 frequency on 4G network. For me, an upgrade from S3 would be a minimum of 4/64GB and 4000 mAh battery. I was looking for a larger screen also (Mi Max 2 with 6.44" is my favorite, although no NFC) and also some od Redmi Note series or some LeEco 5.7" models. Oh, and there is Lenovo P2 but it's not so much of an upgrade.
I like the idea of discussing next phone. We have something in common: our amazing JYS3 but, I think, also our belief in open source development. Next, we inevitably also focus on some different parameters (money, size, functionality, ...).
Personally, money is not the main obstacle, and, I would like a big 6.5" phone (and if needed at all : a 17" tablet) . Actually: for big screen Android experience I prefer a TV box (and dual boot LE for fun), so I probably do not need a tablet.
So, right now, I have hope for 'Huawei Honor Note 9' or 'Xiaomi Mi Mix 2' but -only- if some minimal, say, Google -style ROM can be built. If not then I would be equally happy with a big size madOS supported Mediatek device with excellent specs and support (just like my beloved JYS3s). Or, ideally: a OnePlus 6+ (6.5" phone).
For MadOS Rom, Superdragon mentioned perhaps getting the Vernee Apollo ...

Vernee Apollo looks OK. I want more than 6" next phone. But that's just my wish.
What do you guys think of the Ulefone T1, is it any good and will it be supported bij MAD or other team?
Umidigi S2 Pro?
I think next week I will be ordering Mi Max 2, after 2.5 years of Jiayu S3. It's still running fine so I will probably keep it as backup (and to test Oreo if it comes in near future , but I decided it's time for a bigger screen and much better battery with QC3, which is one of the principal reasons for upgrade...

Exactly. It's a critical advantage for the (more advanced) users to also have open source ROMs available.

Actually, I do not want that phone anymore. Maybe an Apollo 2 Vernee or a Leeco le Max3 (in the future)
A MTK x30 or a smartphone equal or superior Snapdragon 821
A colleague just told me about the XIAOMI Mi A1. It looks like a very good candidate to replace my Jiayu S3:
- nearly stock android, developed with Google partnership (the first Android One phone from Xiaomi), so it should get frequent updates. Android 8 Oreo planned for the end of the year
- made for the international market, not just for China
- dual sim. However the second SIM slot is also used for a memory card. What a silly trend ! But it has 64 GB of ROM, so this is a bit less of an issue
- 4 GB of RAM
- 5.5 inches 1920x1080, like the Jiayu S3
- snapdragon 625 2Ghz
- gpu Adreno 506
- 3080mah battery
- cheap, less than 240$ (200€)

Why did you change your mind?
Those two phones dont look as good as the Umidigi S2 Pro in my opinion.
And slightly better specs dont care to me, am not going to play heavy games.
Personally I've moved from Mediatek devices, got a Le Max 2 and it's a big step camera wise. Mediatek devices promise a lot but these Chinese companies fail to deliver on the specs. They keep bragging about the image sensor because they know they're not going to optimize the image quality.
Outside of MAD there's not really any development going on for Mediatek devices, and Mediatek seems to have given up on high-performance SoCs (X30 was a big flop), so it'll be the boring octa-core A53s for next year. You can find decent Qualcomm devices for the same price, and you'll get custom roms.

This ticks a lot of boxes for me but it is missing NFC.
I'm not much into multitasking but do play heavy games on phones. I have a 32 GB memory card with all the necessary files in it, will only use internal memory for apps only(god bless the makers for including a dedicated SD card slot?). So the main question is will 4gb/64gb variant will be a good option for the likes of me or the 3gb/32 variant will be enough?
if you planing to use the phone as long term investment then buy 4gb/64 ..bit more future proofing i think
If your current SD card is not even 50 percent full, go for the 3GB variant. But if it isn't, I suggest you go for the 64GB. It depends on the use and only you know how you will use it.

There is no news about it. I think it will have a Snaodragon 660. Always Asus phones had higher RAM version with a better processor. Also, they willl have tough competition from the upcoming Xiaomi Mi A2 which has a Snapdragon 660. So most probably, it will have.

It'll be awesome if it has Snapdragon 660 at a budget of ₹15k?. Surely will buy that variant if it comes with Snapdragon 660, I mean what else does one want at 15k. Upcoming Xiaomi Mi A2 will be having a tough competition as the battery in that device stands no where near to Asus Zenfone Max Pro.

Mi A2 would be priced around 18 to 21k it will be not launched in this price segment remember Nokia 7 plus has 660 and it is priced around at 27k ,636 is not bad processor either most of the needs it's good.

Yes. Still it has got a better camera and USB Type-C and Android One support.
Snapdragon 660 will have 2.2 GHz top clock speed compared with 1.8 of 636. And also it has Vulkan API support, if you are a pro gamer.
