Guys I'm considering buying Honor 8 and I want to know how long you've been using this phone and have you experienced any lags/crashes/slow-downs on stock firmware during this time? Thanks!
Buy the Honor 8 Pro instead as you will get Oreo guaranteed. I have had the 8 for 13 months now and didn't like Nougat till B394 update due to the **** battery life. I stuck to MM till B394 where on heavy usage too I could easily get 5 hours of screen on time.
There hasn't been any noticeable slowdown or such. The phone still runs smoothly.

Thanks. Have you used Honor/Huawei phones before and how have they held up over time? I have a 5X that was slow and laggy on stock (EMUI 4 sucks) and didn't improve much even with custom roms (all Nougat roms become unusable after few weeks, CM13 is better but hangs randomly).
I bought this phone last December. I've taken every update and I have yet to be the least bit disappointed in this phone. It has been a fantastic device. I would but it again in a heartbeat for the right price.

Good to know! Are you on stock?
The Honor 8 has been great since I bought it in September 2016. the battery took a hit with 7.0 though. I feel its time to move on, but i can't find anything to replace it TBH. I've got a mate 10 Pro which is nice, but it doesn't feel like spending £700 will make THAT much of a different experience to the H8.
It is a really good device. From February the antutu benchmark has dropped a lot but the performance is exactly the same as always, no lags with max graphics on hard to run 3d games. Has held up pretty well.

Don't buy anything Huawei or honor phone because the are so bat at support and update , if I were you I would buy a OnePlus 3T or a galaxy s7/edge
or any other phone because they are cheaper and better than the honor 8 and and any Huawei/honor phones.

Which one is more future proof until 2017? i'm kinda having trouble picking between these phones. i love stock android but i hate touch-wiz, also i keep hearing stories on how bad the oneplus 2 is. is it really that bad? which phone do you guys recommend?
Go for oneplus2! I love mine. The software is almost like on nexus devices. Pure Android with no bloat.

Is their any advantages over the note 4 the oneplus 2 has?
You'll hate the fingerprint on note 4 . Trust me . Note screen is better , but we can adjust our screen with kcal. Etc etc. Main thin is fingerprint sensor. Which in note 4 you have to turn the sceen on and swipe , and it's just only placing on sensor any time ( screen off ) to unlock in oneplus 2.

Go for anything but op2.
You will regret it if you are a heavy user.
It will heat up and burn your battery too fast.
Better go for device which does not have 810sd.

Yeah.
It used to get more than just being warm when i used to play PoGo.
If you play heavy 3d games well then it will even heat up more.
It is mostly due to bad software + the failure 810sd.
Using custom roms helps sometimes but still it gets more than warm.
And lol battery backup is too bad,especially the idle time.

Having just moved from the Note 4 to the OP2... I wouldn't go back. OP2 isn't the perfect phone but if you want a stock feel, it's great. Camera is great. Battery has been good for me on OOS 3.1.0. Really no complaints. Miss turbo charging but that's it. Phone feels great in hand too.

Not by much.
I have put up a rubber cover just because when the device do heats up the metal portion stings at your hand.
And seriously if you wanna buy OP product then better buy OP3, op2 sucks big time. Just think logically that the op company itself do not properly support op2 but will give proper dev support to opo and op3 that itself means they themselves lost all hope on op2.

200-280 is my budget.
I have both. I have to say Note 4 is kinda premium and SAMOLED screen is too good, specially in direct sunlight. Oneplus2 is snappier than Note 4. You'll love the fast charging in N4 as much as you'll hate the slow charging in OPT. S-pen is handy feature. Samsung is still providing monthly security updates to 2yo N4 however it won't get Nougat, OPT was recently updated after 4 months with latest security patch and will also get android 7.
OPT has excellent dev support, Note 4 has none whatsoever. If you love flashing, then buying n4 will be like suicide.
Camera is good on both phones, speaker is decent.
Choose wisely!

Hey there,
I just received my Huawei Honor 6X last week, and i am writing this to post my opinion on this device so you guys can get a good idea about the phone, as there is only scarce information about the hands on experience and functioning of the device.
I bough the Grey coloured 3GB32Gb variant, from UAE's online shipping jadopado. At 899AED~240USD~15000Rs
https://india.jadopado.com/product/JM00329911/huawei-honor-6x-dual-sim-64gb-4g-lte-smartphone
And this seller is by far the best seller i have ever come across. So helpful that he was 24/7 available through whatsapp, double checked my phone for me, even cleared my doubts on EMUI, and created videos to guide me through EMUI:highfive:
As you can see only the 4GB/64Gb variant is shown as available, contact the seller and they will guide you to buy the 3gb variant.
I really like the phone, its sleek aluminium-clad and really slippery. The UI has a learning curve, after that its alright.
Model Number: BLN-AL10.
Disclaimer: i have only used the phone for 2 days.. These are just my opinions..
Camera:
Talking about the camera, its good #decent, not superbtastic!! Main camera is 12mp+2mp, while the front camera is 8mp
It takes good to great pictures.. I have attached some pictures..
Pretty decent in medium low light.
Autofocus in video shooting isn't spot on.
The bokeh effect(dual camera) is good, but i dont think we'll use it often.
Performance
Performance is good, will be better in EMUI 5 i hope so..
Battery
The battery has been great so far, mainly due to huawei's excellent software which handles battery management. And there is ultra power saving mode.. I'm getting around 6 hours sot as of now, will have to use for a week or two to get the correct idea.
Call Quality
Call quality has been good so far.. Using BSNL and Jio..
And in Reliance Jio (india) i am facing network signal being lost and other issues, i think its mainly due to Jio's fault, as most of my other friends also has it..
LTE CAT 6 option for faster connectivity
It has VoLTE optionin settings, but still have problems in calling from stock dialer (JIO- India), it'll get fixed through an update i hope so.. I have emailed Huawei about this issue.
Fingerprint
Finger scanner is spot on.
Speaker
Speaker is loud, but its only a single down firing one. And while watching videos we can easily block the speakers accidentally when cupping the phone.
Display
Display is great, quality is good But the viewing angles are not that good, but its not at all noticeable..
Benchmarks: (3GB/32GB version)

Honor 6x User Here Too
Me as well, is satisfied with it. Requested it from a friend who bought it from China. I got the 4GB / 64GB variant on gold color.
For it's price, what more could you ask for? I love it's performance, camera, GPS.
the only downfall i can say is it's speaker. it's only coming out from the bottom right side. but no problem with headphones.
you say you're having problem with signal after restarting it. Though i don't have that kind of problem. I did not make any benchmark yet, maybe in the future.
this might be my phone for the next 2years. It will not be outdated.
heard there would be updates to Nougat on this model. hopeful! ^_^

No harm in downloading the update
It's some camera improvements and bugfixes ==> no problem

Thanks guys. Yes I'm impressed. Last time I felt this good about a phone was when I bought the Nexus 4 which was flagship at the time ???
Congrats on your new phone! I have a feeling you'll fall more and more in love with it as time goes on :highfive:

That looks great, what have you been doing on it? I don't see any app battery usage?
I just switched from a Nexus 6P. Got the Nexus 6P at launch, and the battery is going. Can't find any new batteries, so I switched. Was not going to pay $900 for a pixel.
I love this phone. I stuck with stock. Magisk, FDE, and Nova Luncher are the only mods I did. It is much more snappy than my Nexus 6P.

Running Oreo here (phone from Malaysia), unrooted. I just bought this phone last week and so I did not have that much time using Nougat but here goes:
Battery life: goes for about 3-4 hours SOT (with data and heavy usage) however it charges fast so I haven't got a problem with that.
Interface: I really like HTC Sense anf stock Android so no problems here. Here are some screenshots so you can see. I'm using Nova launcher by the way.
Bugs: Happened to me once, but the text in the quick settings menu turned white so it made it unreadable but after dropping down the notification shade again made it normal. No major hiccups here. Performance is seamless.
And I really like the new notification card for Spotify
Work great so far. Google photos is smoother to use now. I just wish HTC adds a damn equalizer :/

No bugs so far but the day I updated it I could see there was a noticeable lag while accessing settings. If I'm correct this wasn't the case on nougat.
The phone definitely runs hotter on Oreo than it used to on nougat. This is the case even while while watching videos on YouTube or a trivial task such as posting this via chrome.(right side of the HTC logo at the back to be precise).
I'm not a heavy user but I do notice battery drains faster after the update. Maybe give it a week or so and I'll post again. Makes me wonder if this is a half baked update. Should've waited

Yup about that price but I live and bought it in the Philippines so this is actually cheap compared to last year flagships of other manufacturers
Thanks for all the answers. I am still using Nougat here and I easily get 4-5 hours of SoT with normal usage. Also the phone doesn't get hot or there aren't any problems I've noticed. Guess I'll stick with 7.0 for a little longer, at least until another Oreo update comes for U Ultra.(Which I don't think will happen...)

I think it really depends on your use. I'm a HTC fanboy and so I can't really give an unbiased opinion
The reason why I chose this phone is mainly for the price and the camera performance. Personally, I think going for old flagships is better than current midrange phones in terms of camera quality, and incidentally this phone is the cheapest out of them, being it an HTC is a bonus. I am planning to buy a powerbank and so for me battery backup is not really a big issue.

I am planning to buy a powerbank and so for me battery backup is not really a big issue.

Well reasoned despite your bias [emoji1]. Thanks.

I think it really depends on your use. I'm a HTC fanboy and so I can't really give an unbiased opinion

Is it possible to get portrait mode with Google cam, if you ever tried?

I regret updating to Oreo. The device is now always warm when trying to do basic tasks. Battery life is worse than Nougat. It's dropping % like crazy. So frustrating I reset the device and cleared cache twice and still no luck.. Looks like I'll be suffering from now on.
They have paused the update so they are going to fix those issues this is why they need a beta program
So more months of wainting, the hype is gone

Same Sh1t... Different Day
hi guys I'm getting the g6 870 unlocked for 260$. I just wanted to confirm if it's worth it? does it lag? How's the camera performance and most importantly is that how's the battery life? Is it as bad as LG g5? Please tell me no! I'm using Xperia x currently and it gives me like 5-6 hours sot. how's the speed n battery of g6? Thanks
The performance on mine for the first day was pretty rough as I think everything getting set up and downloaded had an affect on performance. Also, the carrier chose to set it and move files from my iPhone which pissed me off a bit. I haven't gotten around to setting it up new but I will say now about 48 hours into it, it's running a lot better. I think I will actually factory reset and set it up as new though at some point.
You're not going to get the smoothest phone compared to something like a Pixel but it's a great phone for the value. I got mine at $150 so you can't beat that. On Wifi you can easily get 5-6 hours SOT. On 4g probably an hour less.
A couple things I'd recommend:
- Download Gcam - much better pictures and Portrait mode
- Download Nova Launcher and turn that **** into a Pixel!

After few minor updates it does not lag at all. Battery is good when comes to Wifi , but on LTE network it performs poorly.Bluetooth is also bugged. I hope we will finally recieve Oreo and that may solve all existing problems and make LG great again.

It's the other model but it's through Cellcom, a local carrier in Wisconsin. They had a special deal!

You won't be getting anywhere close to decent performance in any graphically-intense game on this phone without messing around with Game Battery Saver and ADB. Everything else is pretty snappy to me.
I do think I may need to look at a fresh restore. I'm pissed that the guy in the store used the mobile switch. I'm just too lazy to do it. The phone is working pretty well but there's been a slight lag here and there that I think I could eliminate if I started things over.
Don't do it!!!
