Which is best? and why?
Note 4 or Mi A1
actually I already have a note 4 (but with MTK ) and I want to buy a SD phone for more modding choices.

You should buy RN Note 5 Pro. A1 and Note 4 are old now.
If you have rn4 now why would you ask whether to buy this phone again if you're pretty familiar with it? Wtf?
Anyway, I have both of them and if I was going to sell one that would have been rn4 as I prefer mi a1
I would go for the Note4, bigger battery and cheaper
But at the end of the day, it depends what YOU want ... battery-life, price, newer OS, MIUI ....

Just read carefully
as I mentioned above, mine is a MTK processor, and I'd like to shift to Snapdragon for wider range ROMs choices
The most important thing, you said that you would to sell the RN4 rather than mi a1,, why?
I have both, rn4 has better battery, a1 has better camera. Depends on your needs.

Im getting about 4/5 hours on the a1, rn4 was 8-10 hours. That would make sense if the battery was half the size (which it isn't!)
I would suggest saving a bit longer and getting the rn5 china or rn5 pro.

Getting about 8.5 h SOT on my a1. Something must be wrong with your A1. Maybe some app is abnormally draining battery?

Why would I pick mi a1 over rn4:
- I like it's build quality and design more
- I like clean system without miui

I play lot of games and need good battery. Will use for two three years at least.
These are my basic needs. Please help me decide between these two phones.
Neither, go for Nexus 6P or Note 5.
Had the OPO, liked it but had hardware issues with it (wouldn't hold onto a cellular network long, battery crapped out). OP2 don't have those issues but the third party support is lacking. I saw the Note 5 camera in action today, blows the OP2 camera. Also the OP2 performance sucks, I feel slow downs where the OPO didn't, but I think this is primarily Oxy**** issue, if it was running CM it would be awesome!

I think the performance of the OP2 is really, really good - device also disperses heat pretty well which tames the 810 beast down.
It always depends how you run your device though. I don't enjoy it as much as I'd like out of stock.
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk
Oneplus 2, with modified thermal you can play games without aggressive thermal throttling. SD 810 rumors are exaggerated.
With thermal hotplugged i played real racing 3 for 40m with all cores enabled at stocks min/max freqs and it doesn't throttle.
Sent from my ONE A2005 using Tapatalk
My only hesitation in not just saying "go with the OP2" is the lack of third-party support, as pointed out by @ludester. CyanogenMod has CM12.1 and CM13 repositories going for the device now, and other ROMs and kernels based on OxygenOS are starting to appear as well, so I don't think that'll be an issue for too much longer. If you already had the OP1, I'd recommend against upgrading since you don't gain anything major other than a fingerprint scanner, but since you're asking which of the two, my vote is definitely for the OP2.

Not to ignore LAF and FP for custom ROMs are still in mist as Oneplus refused to release the codes, saying they are licensed or something similar.
Despite that two thing, I personally think OPT is a good phone. OOS is not perfect but we can expect OOS on MM.
Stick with oneplus one. I am heavy gamer I. E injustice normally with my old OPO I need to charge one time. But with the OPT I have charge twice a day
Neither, iPhone or Samsung

Fortunately I can buy a phone of 800usd, but I will not because its not worth it. For 389 I have something that for me is better.

Do you need the latest and greatest?
If so you need to wait until about Nov.
I have 6p and like it. But at this time, I urge you to look at ZTE Axon 7. It's top specs and now newegg sells it for $400 and includes a Monster headphone.

there's always a better nexus or even phone for that matter coming up. The Nexus 6P is a great phone, great camera, great features, plain and simple. Even cheaper than most flagships! so buy away.

Wise choice that has plenty of N6p enjoyment and XDA fun left!
If you buy directly from HTC you can get it unlocked with an unlockable bootloader.
They don't ding you for unlocking the bootloader and right now you can get it for $599.
https://www.htc.com/us/go/buy-htc-10/#unlocked
The unlocked version can be made to work on Verizon:

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/HTC-10,Google-Nexus-6P/phones/9582,9587
Smaller screen, same resolution.
Snapdragon 820 vs the 810.
I don't know, 64GB and you get microSD support; it's a tough call.
Although I have the 6P, if I were buying today I might go for the HTC10.
Just got the 6P through Amazon Prime deals 2 days ago. Replacing my s6 edge. totally happy with it.

Of course it will. That's kind of a silly question. The x4 is getting support, and this phone already has far more appeal.
Usually the more popular budget style phones get a lot of dev support. I would be surprised if this one doesnt.

I tend to agree with you. It really brings back shades of the Nexus 5 with this price point. Also, VZW is not the sole carrier and BB along with others is selling it for basically $299 after credits / gift cards. The only 2 things that slightly bother me is the lack of waterproof and no wireless charging neither of which is a deal breaker. I'm curious what they look like so I'll head over to BB later. Now comes the question, will there be a Pixel 4a and what will that be like?
I was kinda bummed about wireless charging but I just put a wireless charging receiver on it from Amazon and it charges surprisingly fast.

I bit the bullet after your recommendation and bought one today. I always have 2 phones and two lines.. just because. I traded in my 5X and had a $125 store credit and got mine for about a buck fifty after rebate. My other car is a Benz. Lol. J/k I have a Pixel 3 in hand. Went to Best Buy today, took one look and feel of the 3a and bought it in the parking lot.
Awesome brother, yeah I have not regretted buying my 3a. I had the Pixel 3 when it first came out and sold it for a used Galaxy S9 and a OnePlus6T which were both better than the Pixel 3. There isnt anything that I miss from my Pixel 3 to this Pixel 3a,,,all of the good features are here. Plus with the addition of a wireless charging receiver from Amazon for 9 bucks I am all good LOL.
