Is it really worth it ?

Hi guys
i'm going for Huawei Nova Plus now
is really good phone and worth the price of it ?
how is the performance in real life ? for web browser and camera ? battery ?
what about the battery UI manual mode is it full control ? can someone give me screen shot for the manual settings ?
can i save pic in RAW mode ?
and anyone tried EMUI 5.0 beta
does it have the same features like Mate 9 or what ?

If you can get the Moto z play, everything is better but the design. My experience with the 5 inch nova is that it is overpriced and I'll get a discounted S7 instead.

I sold my htc10 for the huawei Nova. I totally love my phone.
Even rooted with xposed and 200 apps i get a screen on time from over 5hours and still have 50 percent left....
This must be something about 9-10 hours sot.

For me, it is just the contrary. I find moto z play overpriced. I'm just 2 days with nova and I'm very happy with it. Ofc if you expect a flagship performance from it, you're looking for other devices. But for a midranger, it is pretty good

Here Moto Z is over priced same goes to Lenovo p2 plus Lenovo and build quality pls Nova is the iPhone 6s of Android if we put them side by side we will find alot of similarities plus if you like Nexus 6P Nova is Nexus 6P lite
Plus paying for gimik such as Moto mods that u will use maximum 2-3 time's and pay extra Nova is not just mid range device but upper mid range so it's one Step under the new flagship's but better in last year once the mid range devices even today are with 1.5 to 2 GB RAM same as the last year aka see the Samsung LG HTC and etc you will see no more than SD615 in good cases Sd620 or equivalent SoC

For me the performance of Nova is as good as the htc 10 which really is one flagship at the moment.
At some points i get a better performance with emui then with sense... Few games, just working and multitasking, browsing and text...
We only need a kernel dev in our forum ?

Once huawei releases the source it is all open. Waiting for this before buying the device.

Which Android Wear 2 Watch?

I am looking into a new Android Wear 2 watch, but can't really decide what the smartest buy is. Obviously taste makes this a loaded question, but if you were to buy a fully loaded AW2 Watch, which would it be?
The new Casio (no Heart Sensor), Huawei Watch 2 or ?
I like the looks of the Tizen based S3 Classic, but that nonexistent app store makes it a no go.
What would you recommend?

I like my Asus zenwatch 3.

I can't say enough good things about the Huawei 1. I bought it and the HW2 Classic at the same time and the HW1 is much better for me.

I tried both Zenwatch 3 and Huawei watch 2 international edition. I think I like the huawei more.

Which phone would you buy after a Mate 8?

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

Help me to decide a smartwatch

Hi guys, I do not decide between 3 smartwatch, could you help me decide which one to buy?
Samsung galaxy watch comes with tyzen and rotating bezel
Huawey Watch 2 comes with android wear without rotating bezel
Huawey watch gt new model, I do not know if it's better than the Watch 2
Important points:
I think having a rotating bezel gives a positive point to the clock
So I have read tyzen is not well optimized strong point for android wear
Then i dont decide between samsung or huawey... By the way i love cool watch faces like fallout pip boy or super mario faces,..
Which of the two operating system / clock has the most support on wahtcfaces?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME GUYS

Huawei Watch GT is just a Fitness tracker, almost zero smart.
Huawei 2 very Good smartwacth, maybe the best for Health and battery life but Wear OS little annoying.
Tizen Watch, not bad at all, more stable than Wear but not many app, but many watchface.

Well maybe pokemon go no... But android wear is better on this compatiblity point... Then +1 to huawey wath 2
Which is the best smartwatch then? XD

Yes Huawei Smartwatch 2 is the best of Wear Watch with better battery life. Just the screen really tiny with 1.2" vs 1.3" for Gear S3 or 1.4" for Ticwatch E. But all Wear Watch other Huawei 2 has a real bad battery life.

My vote goes for the Huawei watch. The Huawei Watch 2 is one of the most popular mens watches watches in recent time.
Some of the key features that give it an edge over Galaxy Watch are:
It comes in two editions (Sport and a Classic)
It has a 1.39 inch Amoled Display, which is much superior than Samsung’s 1.3 inch
The watch also boasts of a built-in coach functionality.
However, the Samsung Watch does possess one advantage which is it rotating bezel. It helps improve the interface.

Huawei watch 2 has an 1.2" display so really smaller than the 1.3" for samsung Galaxy watch (and S3). But some new smaller Galaxy watch has smaller display in 1.2" like the Gear S2.
1.39" is for the Huawei GT wich is not a smartwatch but an activity tracker.

Samsung Galaxy Watch is the best rated in reviews, has decent battery life and some apps that you can install.
Huawei Watch GT also has great battery life but it's a brand new closed platform with no app capability and Huawei don't have the best reputation for updates and bug fixes. Could be a great platform in the future but it's a hell of a risk at the moment.
Huawei Watch 2 is Android Wear so lots of apps but OS is so poor on battery life meaning no continuous HR monitoring or sleep tracking.
I would go for the Samsung - good platform and some apps.

New 4100 watches coming soon?

Hi guys,
as far as I know, currently the only smartwatch with 4100 at the market is the TicWatch 3 Pro.
Soon the Black Friday will take place and I wonder if there will be more options in the market with the 4100 chip.
What do you think?

I did a research during China double 11. It looks pro3 is the only developed brand with 4100

4100 is definitely a good thing to have in a watch!

It is very quiet about what 4100 smartwatches are upcoming. I have the Fossil Gen 5, but the battery life is poor like all other Wear OS watches, apart from the Ticwatch Pro 3 and the untethered GPS barely works. I would like a watch with a similar battery life to the Ticwatch but to have Wireless charging, not a crappy proprietary charger so I will wait unless the Ticwatch goes for silly money on Black Friday.

Currently Tic watch is recognized as the only watch with sdw4100.
Personally, I'm hoping for the ONEPLUS watch, but it has been postponed indefinitely...

I think TicWatch 3 Pro is the only one with 4100
