I wanted go get the one plus 6 but I could never get over the notch. No matter how good the phone in term of specs I would be still holding a wanna be iPhone x. I went with the s9 plus. At least its original and unique design.
Dude, SGS9+ have a 158mm notch on both sides of the screen... so...
I just love the design and the big screen which is kinda nice although its a 1080p panel but the colors are sharp and accurate. I got the mirror black version which has the awesome premium glossy n shiny back to it, I just love it. And as far as the notch is concerned by many people, you can literally just disable the notch show in the software and it just looks like a regular notch less phone.
Psst.. its waaayy better than a Samsung considering the prize range.
What notch? When disabled it's invisible... Love my 8gb / 256 GB phone ???
Very good looking phone
oneplus6 is ugly piece of junk which developed by designers with broken hand and complete absence of taste
but it has hardware and software and hardware specs that you can get only in more uglier sams s9+
I'm highly upset that even for high $ I cannot get the phone that has everything !!
MidnightBlack OnePlus 6 looks really dope!
I have both Samsung S9+ and OP6. Aesthetically, S9+ looks more prime than OP6. The finish of S9+ is impeccable. I have USA unlocked S9+ and it still comes with lot of crap ware. OP6 has much lesser bloatware and since it's to root, you could simply uninstall any app you don't use. I also feel Screen is brighter and sharper than OP6. I also like S9+ camera. Only reason I use OP6 as my daily driver because of speed and performance. OP6 user experience (at least mine) is much better than S9+. However, S9+ does have better aesthetics in my opinion.
This iteration has quality control issues. My SIM drawer surround catches my finger slightly and the nylon filler inserts in the frame are more obvious compared to the OP5.
I have never liked the 'horizon line' that Carl Pei celebrated at release; I firmly believe 'form follows function' and can find no reason for it to barrel as it does. Sadly, Apple has the phone form right - IMHO; all that is needed is a rectangular block with rounded off corners and mildly rounded arrises. Anything else is simply styling to delineate from the competition (and prevent patent wars).
I'm finding, with the screen to the very edge, that sometimes the way I hold the phone interferes with my attempts to scroll. The fleshy part of my hand, being the rump of my thumb, falls over the screen and acts as a touch. This means there are limits to bezel size and/or edge touch-screen sensitivity. I really do find a chin - something I can hold with my thumb and forefinger in a cantilever grip far preferable.
In the days of yore phones came with a small anchor-point in the body so a cord or leash to wrap around the wrist could be attached. In the UK, and probably elsewhere, phone snatching is a problem. A leash could help prevent a phone snatch,
To those notch haters; get real; it is possible in software to remove it. But it is an interim step on the design process; it will be gone in an iteration or two, I have no doubt.

So what type of design would you have preferred?
And are you disappointed with the notch or overall build (glass back, camera position etc?)
Just curious

I might have to agree about quality control. I've found that the tiny gap bw the glass back and aluminium sides is (very) slightly larger on one side.
Receive mine today.
Really don´t like the Notch, and that big thing with 2 cameras on back isn`t very aesthetic...
My note 3 from Xiaomi is much more sexy, blue, and also my Find 7 witch carbon back.
Apart that, nothing to complain about it.

Yes, mine too. I forgot to mention that. I use a felt-lined leather slip-case and often see small straggling thread caught between the frame and the glass back at the lower right corner (when viewed from the back).

not so much annoyed by the notch...but hate the fact that now network speeds won't appear on the notification bar..a bit annoyed to pull down notification shade everytime..
but screen quality and performance is leaps and bounds ahead when compared to my old RN3..

Totally agree with you about the network speed thing but that happens cause of the notch I am sure, overall Mirror Black looks amazing:good:
I got a silk white variant a couple of days ago and it looks wow.. I don't know why are few complaining for the design and colors. It looks very premium.
And regarding notch, there is always an option to hide it.
As someone who always runs black themes and wallpapers on amoled devices, the notch is mostly invisible.
And I don't get the people being so salty about the notch despite the fact that it's the shortest one among all notched phones ( and narrowest if you exclude water-drop notches and the one of the Essential PH-1 ) so it doesn't really interfere with the status bar. And when you go fullscreen with apps, the notch height gets blacked out and you still have 6 inches of the screen to view content on.
And even when you put a proper wallpaper on it, especially on AOSP roms, it looks unique in a good way( at least to me ). The notch on my last phone ( Xiaomi Mi 8 SE ) was hideous and it bothered me a little, but I actually like this one. It's what every notch should be like; a fair compromise to get a higher screen-to-body ratio.
If you don't like it, you're free to buy a Samsung or SONY phone ( SPOILER: you will have to get a second-hand one, encounter a great deal at your carrier...unless you're in Croatia where those are non-existent or cough up a lot more than you would for the OP6 ) and slap an AOSP GSI on either.
My only gripe, it's too thin. A slightly thicker phone would feel more secure in the hand and accommodate a larger battery.

Dem bezels! Especially if you get the white version, looking at the device when the screen is off is fun because it kind of looks like a device from the future with those narrow bezels!
Looks great, but a bit slippery. I have not put a case on because that defeats the purpose of the great design.

Great designs, but need to take extra care when handling
Sexier than me lol
Note5's design is absolutely awesome. Handling of the device is so easy and comfortable because of curves in back, it fits in hand. I really like the new design of Note series and I hope more improvement by Samsung in future. So I'm giving 5 stars to this thread.
The curve edge on the back makes it feel good in hand and also make it feel thinner than it actually is. Even though it has a curve back, it doesn't rattle like most real curve back when you set it down. It actually feels flat when I set it down on my desk.

This phone is sleek, sexay and thin. Lets get that staight away. Every inch of this phone, the back, the front, rear and the sides. There are no UGLY angles on this phone. Yes we dont have external SD card and and yes we dont' have removable battery but the Looks makes my ex grilfrineds iphone 6s look like b squad girls at a gentlemans club.
The Gold Platinum, Sliver Titanium, and Black Onyx variants all look amazing. But White Pearl looks...odd. If I were to see that phone laying down on a desk with or without a cover, I would assume it to be any other Samsung device. Simply because the majority of Samsung devices are white, and that makes White Pearl seem like a generic, boring phone.
I have the Gold Platinum edition, I got it because of how close it looks to Chrome, and I love the color of Chrome. I feel it gives it a sleek futuristic look. The only drawback is that for safety sake I had to put a case on it so and that hides the sleek look and feel of the device
I love my note 5. Extremely sweet send fast
After 13 months of having this phone, I'm still staring at it and enjoying the lovely all metal, slim and sexay body.

Feels like a $1000 phone. Sturdy, tight, and sleek. Moto makes great use of rounded backs and corners to make their phones feel great in the hand.
Agree with everything but also want to add that I love how the phone feels cold when you pick it up
The shiney smooth back is actually grippier than I would have expected. Overall it feels very nice.
I have a few small (SMALL) quirks about the device that are a little bothering if I think about them, but it's mostly just me nit-picking. The model number is printed on a light color font on the bottom, between the headphone jack and USB-C. It's kinda weird to be seeing a font where there almost shouldn't be. The SIM card is on top of the phone, which is a little weird to me. The breaks in the phone where the antennas are (2 on bottom, 1 on top) are a little disjointing if you notice them. The volume-up-down are a little harder to click than I would like (but that's probably a good thing to avoid accidental clicks). And lastly, 2 of the 3 microphones (the ones on the front and back) seem to be more noticeable than I expected. It was actually one of the first things I noticed when I first took it out of the box, and turned it around to look at the smooth back.
As I said, these are nit-picks. Overall, it's a very well built phone, sturdy, and very pleasant to use. Would highly recommend.

Let me be the first (likely of many) to warn that Lenovo-rola is notorious for crap quality. The phone's have some awesome features, but quality bites, their support is so bad they got sued (Gerard Gibbs) over it. My g5 plus is the last Moto device I will ever buy.

Apparently you got a bad one or else the g5 plus is a way worse build than the x4. Best quality phone I've ever owned, feels premium, very solid quality!

Do you really prefer when it's printed on the back?
Love the phone. The contour glass is beautiful, and not as slippery as I thought when reading reviews. Have not had a problem since I bought it in October. The only thing is the amazon Alexa and the camera. I felt like the original moto x did a way better job with voice commands than Alexa. The camera is fine, just wish that they made the bump smaller. But the weight and feel of the phone itself is awesome compared to others with a higher price. Give it a 8 out of a 10
I had a G5 Plus, and for a plastic phone, the build quality was extremely good. It was up there with any plastic Samsung phone I've ever handled. The X4 is much higher quality, though. It really does feel like a phone that costs twice as much. I think it's a little slippery, though, so I keep it in a case.

This phone is slippery as an eel. I can barely manage to hold it without droping it, but if you put it on a table or anything that's not perfectly flat it will slither away.
And it's really heavy.
Feel great with a case. I understand you might mean without the case. Yet, my biggest issue is the fingerprint scanner location. I often still press the camera lens.
Without or with case, this is the most comfortable phone I've ever held. Yes, it feels heavy at times but at least it is comfortable enough to hold that I don't really care about that.
I don't know why, but I have no issues with fps location, it is good for both aesthetics and ergonomics (other phones that uses fps on the back, always place the fps higher than on the XZ2, but it doesn't look good to me). The real issue with the fps is how flush it is to the phone's rear glass, although I have no problems with it so far, since I'm using a case.

The weight of the phone doesn't annoy me, but the slipperiness is horrible. I remember some motorola phones years ago they had a metal frame and a kevlar strengthened plastic backside and because of the structure because of the fibers it was not slippery and very stable and looked good too. You never needed a case only a screen protector. (It was even better with the screen protectors, all displays were flat in these times. I hope the flat screens come back one, because I don't see any advantage with rounded screens, for me it's only a gimmick.).
Pros: The overall size. The reason I bought this phone is because I do not like big phone. However, I find the XZ2 compact is slightly too small; hence the XZ2 size is just fine. Of course, iPhone X form factor is the best (for me).
Cons: Slippery and definitely need a case. Even with a matte case, it's spinning like crazy. However, the reason why I gave 3/5 is not because of this; nor the weight (the weight is fine for me). The actual reason is the fingerprint scanner placement and the overall ergonomics of the UI/skin. OnePlus Oxygen is far ahead in this area. I had to change the launcher to Pixel launcher just because of the notification bar. I prefer to swipe down from home to bring it down, whilst the stock Xperia UI would trigger search bar. That is not as useful.
Gosh, I have no problem with the fingerprint scanner placement. Maybe it's because I've never had one on the back before. I highly suspect that people who complain about that location simply because they are use to it being higher, not because being at the center is intrinsically wrong. In fact I think it's easier to find coming out of a pocket because it is towards the center. Whatever...
I've tried a bunch of cases and find they all help with the on desk spin factor. But I do feel a case is a must with this thing because of the slippery glass.
I'll echo others in that the shape of the back is one of the best things about the phone. People who ***** about the thickness obviously have never actually held one of these. My old XZ1 now feels too light; didn't think that would happen either.
I think ergonomics is very good with this smartphone, I don't get why is everybody complaining about it.
Yeah it's big, but for its dimensions it's quite optimized.
I've been using it for 2 days and I've already got used with the fingerprint sensor position.

Wow, it's like you know me, have you stolen my mirror? Wait...no..
I received the case before the phone. My 7 Pro case fits my OP6 almost perfectly so when people say, "it's huge!". not really.
Has anyone taken the risk of going raw dog with that bad boy? The back of the nubia color I have is dangerously slippery. That coupled with the fact that the phone can be a bit unwieldy for some certainly constitutes a recipe for disaster!

No case here. Love the nebula blue color it would be a shame to put one on it. It is a bit slippery, but when you keep that in the back of your mind it is ok to handle with one hand even
Such a beautiful phone. Makes any phone with a notch look silly.
Have unfortunately dropped mine a couple times already though and some of the blue finish on the corners has given way to bare metal
best looking and feeling phone I have held to date. Bar none.
I took it out of the case,dropt it on the carpet 30 seconds later ).
I'm going to keep it in the case until i get used to its size.
I hate keeping my phones in cases tough.
I want other emojis
I don't have any major complaints with the look of the device. I would personally prefer the rear cameras be completely flush with the backing but that isn't a deal-breaker. A slightly thicker profile might actually give them a little more room to do that, increase the battery size, and make the device slightly easier to grip on the sides without a case. I would really like an emerald or jade green color option.

Yes, it actually wraps around the side of the phone and adds more grip to the sides, but the sides of the phone are thin. so there still isn't much surface area to grab. so you still need to be careful. I find that where I would have grabbed the phone by it sides, I'm handling it more with the front and back of the phone.
Not a fan at all of the curved screen, warps screen and words are harder to read when close to the edges.

Yeah, the curved screen isn't my favorite part of the phone. Surprisingly, it hasn't bothered me too much so far. At least it's better than the Galaxy S7 edge I used to own.
Really a nice device. Especially in blue! However, I find that the edges are slightly too rounded.
One has to absolutely LOVE the full view screen. An actually full-screen phone, at last. I've heard people complain that the back cover is glass and that it could have been plastic. Well, then they'd complain that it's mere plastic and doesn't feel premium. I Love the looks.

Looks and feels premium. But the display came with a small blip in the side on the glass. Couldn't unsee it after finding it out so ended up with a tempered glass and the ungainly white border.
It feels very high quality especially coming from the Poco. I've used naked for a while but found the back and front glass scratches very easy compared to the metal body (aluminium?).
I suggest using at least the standard case and getting some sort of screen protection.
It's feels very nice in hand and not slippery at all. Overall for, sd855, pop up camera, amoled, fast charge, metal glass sandwich design the list goes on, I'm struggling to find where they cut corners or how they even made profit off this amazing phone.
Finish is good and I used the standard case from the start along with some screen cover. The hard screen cover is not very good as the phone's screen actually has a radius near the bevel and the hard screen cover does not conform to the curve..I will try a soft cover when (if?) I can be bothered.
I have since changed cover as I ordered it before I realised the phone came with one.. my after market cover covers the top and bottom of the phone more than the stock one and is softer.
When I first got the phone it felt heavy but is only about 50 grams heavier than my last phone with almost identical dimensions. But now I have grown to enjoy the extra weight.. it doesn't cause issues in my pocket.. all in all very satisfied with the ergos of this phone
A shame that they used that poor vibration motor that makes it feel as cheap as the redmi note 4x (only thing I could compare it to). They should've chosen haptic feedback motors instead.
The rest seems fine, apart from the design blunder of the camera setup, but it's not as big of a deal compared to an upside down screen (looking at you, oneplus 5).
Software wise, it's completely cr**, full of bugs and broken things, it just doesn't work well (miui 11). Thing is, I don't really want to move to a custom android rom as miui has some neat features, like the scrolling screenshot, the whole applock and apphide with the home page gestures. Most of those custom implementations just don't feel as good as stock, so I'm staying on miui 11 in the hope that the next update will bring a lot of fixes. I tried MiRoom, but that one is even worse, with apps partially being chinese, system launcher FC after a clean install, etc.
For that price it's great. Sandwich made out of glass and aluminium feels good and the screen is pretty good.
