Hello, peace be with you . I just recently saw some unique phones, OPPO R7 Plus and OPPO N3 to be precise. Not to be comparing with anything, but I love my Note 4 and i was amazed at COLOROS, the modified OS which comes with OPPO. The features are very very fascinating. The gestures when the screen is off and the battery saving features, Ultra HD photo shoot or whatever, fast charging- this is something new, which a lot of OS don't offer altogether. Touchwiz is fine but a bit laggy but COLOROS is the new deal. Can anybody port it to NOTE 4 ? thanks. I can't wait to try it on the SM 910G. :victory:
can't post links but search for COLOR OS :laugh:

Hi
About 2 years ago I bought my mate 8 on a business trip in Guangzhou/China. I loved the phone, I did not rebrand it, because I liked it to get faster updates and could live with most of the chinese textes. In two weeks I travel again to china and it's time for a new phone. Not because my mate 8 is not good enough anymore, I still love it, but my son want's a phone and I planed to give him mine and I buy a new one for my self as a christmas gift.
Unfortuantely it's hard to decide which phone should be my next daily driver. The following phones are on my list:
- Mate 10 or Mate 10 pro
- Mi Mix 2
- Oneplus 5t
Each of this phones have advantages and disadvantages. I like MIUI, therefore the Mi Mix 2 would be a good choice, but the camera is not so good. I like the stability of the Mate series, but EMUI is not really my favorit, but the camera seams to be very good. The Oneplus 5t has a nice UI as well and also the camera seams not to bad.
Which phone would you choose?

Battery, battery, battery! screen size/resolution, update history, build quality, CPU/RAM, XDA support, price point.. probably in that order.
I'd never go backwards in terms of battery life. Everything else would then be considered.

mate 10 pro is best in battery, screen size and preinstalled software (oreo). however, it lacks a headphone jack and sd card slot and the 6" screen is actually smaller than the mate 8 due to different ratio (18:9 vs. 16:9). also, if the mate 8 is any indication, huaweis update policy is a bit lackluster...
mi mix 2 is king when it comes to small bezels, however screen size and battery capacity are not acceptable. no idea about miui, from what ive seen its quite similar to emui though. just hope that xiaomi is a bit better than huawei when it comes to android support of their phones.
OP5T would ne king in terms of pricing and xda dev support. however, since the OP left his mate 8 stock, this will probably not be a valued point in this regard...
out of the above, i would probably go for either mate 10 pro or OP5T. however, ive been eyeing the mi max 2 because of its humongous screen size and battery lets see what 2018 will bring to the table, ill keep my mate 8 until then...

LG V30!!
I bought the Mate 9 about 3 months ago. The 8, replaced my 2....
I'll probably get the 10, about this time next year. (I sell them after I buy a new one).
I was thinking about Xiaomi Mi Mix 1 not 2
SD 821 is still a beast , 6.4 inches in a 6 inch body is appealing , humongous battery , and I don't really care much about the camera , the only thing that worries me about the Mi Mix is the phone speaker which is impeded in the screen itself and has mixed reviews about it , some good some bad
Sorry for the bad English ...
i did it, made the plunge and got myself the mi max 2. not regretting it! already used to the huge phone size, the 6.44 inch screen is absolutely lovely and the battery life...insane. seriously.
i got lineage os 14.1 installed based on android 7.1.2 and my first battery charge is heading towards 24h sot (yep, you read correctly, thats twenty-four!!!! hours of screen on time ) currently, im at 42% battery and already have 14h8min sot tucked under my belt... so thats around 24.4h sot for 100% charge

Booooooo we will miss you around here.
I was also going to upgrade my phone this fall but mostly because I dropped my Mate 8 in water last spring. Battery and screen took some damage but after replacing the battery it has been running like a charm.
I actually went so far as to having the Mate 10 in the hand before my gf stole it from me so now I will wait for next year's flagships. Very curious about OnePlus 6 hopefully with fingerprintscanner under the screen and Treble. Also the new line from Sony, who is finally getting a new design looks very interesting, the leaked renders with front facing speaker looked exactly what I am looking for.

yep, its definitely about time that sony trimmed their HUGE bezels around the screen
btw, also keep an eye out for the xiaomi mi max 3, it will follow the new 18:9 display ratio trend, but sporting thin bezels, 7 inch (!!!) screen diagonal and a whopping 5500 mAh battery. could very well be the perfect successor phone for us mate 8 lovers plus, itll also sport upgrade performance with potential SD 630/660

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..

Did They Ever Get That One Running At Full Capacity?
Since I 've chosen not to Root, I don't follow the thread.
I know they were having some Bluetooth & Camera issues...
I wish the team the best!
It's nice for you guys that have rooted to have something to play with.. enjoy.
my root a twrp runs fine. no issues.

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

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...
Hello guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Its 1.5 years old. I want to change my phone because of updates. İt wont take any updates after Nougat. And i decide i dont like Touchwizz after this phone. I will give my Note 5 to my father and take a phone. In my mind, there is three choice. First one is Xiaomi Mi A1. Its Android One phone and will take Android P too. Other hand i can take a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro. But i dont like 18:9 screen. I like MIUI but it wont take updates longer. Third one is Xiaomi Mi A2. Someone says, it will have Surge S2 processor. So i cant trust new cpus. Qualcomm is old in this world and its trustable. What do you think about ? What should i do ?

I also had a Samsung Note 5 and I exchanged it with Mi A1 on olx. And I'm pretty happy with the device. RAM management and performance is at par with the Note 5. My note 5 didn't have a good battery backup and I had to charge it at least two times in 24 hours, but with this Mi A1 one full charge lasts me for over 24 hours.
The only thing I have felt was better on the Note 5, is the front facing camera. But that is just a small trade off!

Then Redmi note 4 is a better option for you.( I'm not suggesting Redmi note 5 as ROM development has not yet begun) It has MIUI preloaded, and there are many custom ROMs available for it. There's lineage os with treble support for it too.( Pixel Experience is also there, if you want stock). Mi a1 and redmi note 4 have the same hardware. The only difference is camera and battery.
Buddy I switched to mi a1 from Galaxy S5 after 4 years of using it. It's a different world, 10x better even though I had the best available custom software for S5. Now I'm on stock out of the box Mi a1 and I love it. Just get it from a store, go on Google and search for price comparison website for your country and get it with warranty for at least 12 months.
Have in mind, it's a budget phone, you won't pay much, you'll get a great quality phone in Android One program, but it won't function as a 1k iPhone, or 500$ flagship Android, but it will "get the job done" and it does it pretty well IMO.
When it comes to roms, if you want out of the box device with no problems and no need for modifing the system , mi a1 and A1 program is the perfect solution. When it becomes boring/slow, you can always modify it as much as you want since there are and there will be dozens of roms for mi a1, and this phone as a brand won't die out anytime soon, it's as been on unbox therapy just recently.
Conslusion, it's a good choice, but get a valid warranty, don't ask me why, you can ask both Google and this forum for an answer on that question.
Hello Friends,
I Need Your Important suggestion on Buying a New Phone.
Actually I was Using Micromax Nitro A311 with Custom Resurrection Remix v 5.8.5 ROM.
And I need to buy a New Phone But I am Very Confused With Which Phone to Buy under 15K.
Since I have Several Options are Available such as Redmi Note 5 Pro, Asus ZenFone Max M1, Realme 1, Redmi Note 5.
So Please Help me Out by suggesting, Which Phone to Buy. Since I need a Phone for Long Term Usage which should also support Rooting and Custom Roms.Performance and Battery Life is also a Concern.
I had a nitro too,
Redmi note 5 pro ,no questions asked.

If you're not concerned about a above average camera and a slower fp scanner (as compared to Redmi Note 5 Pro) then go for this device.That 5000 mAh battery isn't a joke.In terms of custom ROM development both Note 5 Pro and Max Pro are good so you don't need to worry about that.However I consider this device to survive longer as compared to its counterparts because Asus is promising updates to Android Q which means we'd most likely get kernel sources for Android Q which would be awesome for a nearly 1 year old device at that time.
