i have oneplus 3t and the camera is amazing but i want to upgrade so what you recommend me to go with ?
All have their strengths.... The OnePlus 3 as well.
Try not to get dazzled by specs and marketing hype... Think of it more of as there some area they you would like to improve over the op3 camera
Samsung camera may be better if you want to just point and shoot in full auto all the time.
Most of us won't be utilizing our phone cameras to it's full potential all the time.
I moved from a OP3 to a Mate 9 (after deciding to pass on the S7) and I'm very happy with my choice
You should have a look at the pocketnow "real camera reviews" on YouTube if you're not aware of them already
For the OP3
https://youtu.be/bQFy7qzkNro
Check the P10 and mate 9 there as well
I don't think any reviewers have gotten around to doing in depth reviews for the s8 as of yet
so you recomende transfed to mate ? from op3t bacause u use it and know if there defrence
Hello everybody i have mate 9 pro and i was thinking to upgrade to p10 plus , but is it Worth it? The shop said they will buy the mate 9 pro from me for 705$ and the p10 plus costs 684$ so can someone help me to decide?
What perceived benefit do you think you'll get? Apart from microSD I can't see anything... (slightly better camera maybe)
No. Wait for Mate 10 with its Kirin 970. P10 plus definitely not an upgrade to Mate 9 pro which has larger battery and curved Amoled screen. And from the pricing as well, Mate 9 pro is considered by Huawei themselves as more higher range than P10 plus.

A good chance of seeing another 5.5 inch Mate 10pro to compete with Iphone 8 plus and other 5.5inch category phones. Unless Huawei pulls off a bezel less and the screen size become less relevant. Too early to tell. Also rumors of Honor 9 being released in a 5.5inch version in addition to the 5.1inch, in which case it would have a lot similar specs to P10 series but in a different body and cheaper price tag. But with owning a Mate 9 pro, a proper upgrade will be in Mate 10 series which will have the new Kirin 970.
Can't tell you if better than your previous phone only just upgraded from Sony Z3.... Yes I said that right I came from Z3 to the p10+. The camera is better, the internal memory 128gb is better, having Nougat straight out the box is better Z3 was left at early realise of mm, having finger Id is new to me.
The touch screen is a little unresponsive someone's I need touch screen 2 or 3 times before it acknowledges the touch.
The only major downside is I'm unable to root, which up to now all phones I've rooted.
I'm impressed by the phone and battery life, I've had phone for just over 2wks.

It's not really an upgrade, more of a side grade. I've switched from the regular Mate 9 to the p10 plus. Battery life is worse but camera is slightly better especially in low light.
Hi,
I am going to buy a new phone but I can't decide what to buy. I have 3 options. Oneplus 5, Huawei P10 or Huawei Mate 9. Since all of them really powerfull I focused on camera, design and battery. Which one should I buy?
Oneplus 5 has a great camera. The Huawei P10 is no slouch either.
I am not a fan of the Huawei Mate 9 design, I lean more towards the P10 and OnePlus 5.
The battery life on OnePlus 5 is excellent I'm getting about 7 to 8 hours of screen on time.
PS. I'm not a fan of the stock launcher on Huawei either. I would want to change it to Nova launcher really quickly.
I would get the OnePlus 5 but I am obviously a bias on the matter. All in all they are great options, and I don't think you would be disappointed in any of them.
You could try the honor 9. It sounds really good too. The camera seems to be focused on being high powered. I'd go for that one as opposed to the other Huawei phones you mentioned
It comes down to what you want. Do you want stock-ish android with tons of custom rom support? And the easiest bootloader unlock on android (Will grow even more in the future) or are you okay with the bloated emui with next to no ROM support?
I have a oneplus 5 and my mom a mate 9. Emui constantly nags her about shutting down nova launcher amongst other apps. It won't even allow her to open them at certain points. And it has very, VERY aggressive ram management.
Now they're both extremely fast phones with great cameras ..
The mate 9 is significantly better at battery life.. But my oneplus 5 will get me through the day for sure. The mate 9 would bee more like a day and a half.
It really comes down to what you want. You should give us some more information on your preferences.

How these phone cameras compare? I'm interested if the Oneplus 5 camera is a step-up in camera department from the Mate.

Thank you very much! One day in long usage is fine. Mate 9 is really big and heavy. Also I have to change it's region after I buy it beacuse i can't buy it with official warrenty. Region change is hard because of bootloader and there aren't much developers.
What about P10? I can buy P10 with official warrenty. Price of P10 and Oneplus 5 are almost same here.

Honestly, there's no comparing the ease of using the oneplus 5 to any huawei device with region changes/ bootloader unlock/ dev community.. Personally I give the edge to the oneplus for simplicity. There's no hoops you have to jump through to operate your phone. The mate 9/p10 are all hoops.. My mom can't get updates on her mate 9 because she lives stateside..
Again, I think the battery size the mate 9 or p10 have over the oneplus 5.. But if you're charging every night, it won't make a difference. Furthermore, the availability of dash charge accessories is more widely available than the mate 9 super or turbo charge accessories.
Don't get me wrong, both are great phones, but really, the oneplus offers a better software experience I think, which is the most important part I think..with So many other aspects being so close.
4k eis on oneplus 5 is incredible btw..

Huawei P10 has 3200Mah battery. I think OnePlus 5's battery goes more than P10's. Am I correct?
The camera of p10 is better imo, it can take black and white shots etc. Also it has official Huawei warrenty.
Battery is more important for me so I think I will go for OnePlus 5. Thank you very much for that great informations.
Lastly I heard OnePlus5 outdoor brightness is not enough, what do you think about it?

Actually, the outdoor brightness is surprisingly good! The OP5 has a screen that seems very similar to the S8, in terms of brightness and colors (my opinion). It's a really good Super Amoled screen compared to the rest of the Flagships aside from Samsung.
Maybe you get biased thoughts, since you are on a 1+5 forum.
I was in the same doubt as you, between 1+5 and Mate 9.
What I discovered reading many threads and watching many videos is:
- Mate 9 takes better photos, has better sunlight legibility (besides being amoled, 1+5s screen under sunlight sucks), have better battery life (slightly, because SD835 is very power efficient), have better audio recording and video recording, have better loudspeakers and better cell signal reception.
- 1+5 is faster (not by a big margin), is lighter and not bulky (Mate 9 is very big), have better WiFi performance and much better community development.
Android O is on schedule to Huawei phones, but certainly will come much faster to 1+5.

Thank you very much you all! I ordered 1+5 and it will arrive today. I think it's the best option for me.
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.

Both devices come with 2 cameras and a single battery in the box.
Camera wise they are both really good cameras but I'd go LG because the software is way better and you get the added benefit from the support of GCam mods and other Snapdragon device ports. FFC on the P10 is better than the G6 though. Display is better on the G6 with qHD+ Vs FHD on the P10. Kirin 960 is a newer processor than the SD821 however the difference in benchmark speed is not phenomenal. P10 will get project treble support and that will probably be a nice thing to have aosp/custom ROMs ported over to the device because EMUI is not everyone's cup of tea. G6 has had some issues with software updates as you've probably read in the forum's. All in all both are really good devices and depending on the price either one is not really a bad choice.

the lg 40 USD more expensive
After using the G6 for 3 months or so and coming from a Nexus 6P - I would recommend the P10. Unless you want IP68:
https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8514&idPhone2=8466
LG are disappointing with their update rollout for a flagship, and if you are looking at a DS module, no boot loader unlock which is also a disappointment.
I'm also now experiencing some bluetooth audio quality issues when paired with 2 other BT devices in my car - I have tested this on two other phones (the 6P and my old Sony Xperia) and neither of them have the same behaviour when paired with the same devices.
This phone is starting to disappoint me.
I don't have the P10, but I had the Honor 8 and I swore to never use a EMUI phone again. It had so much bugs and quirks. Especially with the feature to make apps sleep and even after you whitelist them and tweak settings, sometimes the notification is not assured to appear every single time. Last time I used EMUI, if you lock your phone with Android Device Manager's lost phone feature, you can completely bypass the lock screen with ease.
I do know the Kirin processor is really fast, if you are looking for outright performance, it's probably better to go with the P10, especially with 1080p screen which will run smoother.
In term of camera, I like the fact that the LG have Snapdradon so it can use Google Camera HDR+ mode.
Personally, I would take the G6 mainly for the larger display. G6 also have USB 3.1, water resistant, and wireless charging.
Go for the Huawei P10 https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p10-8514.php
They are outstanding devices!

G6 all the way. Two things i don't like about Huawei, one is EMUI and second they don't use any type of oleophobic coating, not even on flagship devices. Glass (which is not even Gorilla glass) gets so fingerprinty it's unbearable.
Got lg g6.
I already had an Honor 8.
I prefer the speed of honor. Lg g6 is nice but not so... And i think camera is normal. Not crazy.
So i recommand you P10.
But i must recommand Oneplus 5T, and maybe if you can wait, take the next model, Oneplus 6 !
Get the LG. Huawei has support that is worse than LG.
LG is also offering a two year warranty.
I had same dilemma. Screen-cpu-battery should be on p10 side. I sad should be cause on net i saw different scenarios about battery.
I took lg g6 even it was 50 usd more expensive mainly because i had lg devices before and i couldn't stand emui.
Meanwhile i "discovered" wide angle camera and great build quality (dropped this one 10+ times). Though i got model with inferior camera i can say lg g6 i rock solid device and if u can't choose among others like one plus or shaomi go for lg.

My girlfriend has the P10 and I get G6. I compare both phones, testing many things and I prefer the G6: better software, the phone looks better and you haver a better screen. Maybe some colors in P10 looks better, but in general, you must get the G6.
