The question is pretty clear. How smooth is the 6t compared to the Iphone X/XS. However, I am not talking about speed but about the smoothness of the phone. I bought the iPhone X last year and am now looking for an upgrade. Will the 6t be a good choice?
Thank you very much!

Go to T-Mobile and find out.
The phone is fast, but doesn't feel smooth due to poorly made animations. The opening and closing animations while using gestures are smooth, but the multi-tasking menu isn't, it lags a few times and animations are completely missing when you use gestures while the phone is in landscape orientation. Also swiping up to go home or into multi-tasking mode has a very slight but noticeable delay. Otherwise, other areas of the phone are smooth, such as scrolling and general app use (menus etc...).
While using normal Android Pie controls, or the 3 button controls, opening animations are fast but not smooth, nearly non-existent, same can be said with closing animations. The animations on the Pixel 3 are miles smoother.
People say this phone is smooth, it isn't. It's just fast. Overall, I'd prefer my phone to feel "smooth" while having animations that enhance the overall User Experience, rather than jerky animations that feel cheap. You can wait for a stock ROM to come, but personally, having to rely on 3rd party developers is a risky move and shouldn't be the way to enjoy your phone. OnePlus have improved the gestures massively over what they use to be, I'm sure they'll have software updates in the future to work the kinks out, but for now, they put speed as their priority rather than smoothness and attention to detail.
Well stock is pretty okay, but if you want the best smoothness I recommend rooting the phone and using smurf kernel. With smurf kernel I'm getting really low frame times that will result in the phone being really smooth.

I have used Pixel 2, Pixel 3, OnePlus 6T and iPhone X... Every time I use iPhone X, I feel damn these animations are so smooth.. even Pixel 3 can't match iPhone's smoothness in my opinion.. but I am happy with my OnePlus 6T.. I can certainly see OnePlus 6T is faster than all the phones mentioned above..
Change the animation speed in developer settings. That's what I've done for years. Makes one hell of a difference. Although a lot of people love their animations, don't see why though.

Ther 6t is definitely faster in day to day operation such as launching apps, loading/rendering web pages, etc. Battery life is likely to be far better than that of the Iphone X, the display is also much nicer IMO due to the size primarily. Not as sharp as the X but you won't notice. I personally find the colors of the 6t to be very accurate.
I use an Iphone XR, 8 Plus, and 6t regularly every day. The 6t is my fave and go to device, but with a few very small caveats.
Battery life between all three devices is great, but the XR and 6T obviously offer the best. The 8 plus is absolutely no slouch though, and prior to getting my 6T and XR it provided me with the best battery life of any device I'd ever owned prior. It's tough to say, but the battery life difference between the XR and 6T is pretty much a tossup. I will say that while I've personally gotten 11 hours of SOT with my 6T in the past, battery life is a bit less consistent with it now versus my XR and 8 Plus for what it's worth.
The camera of the 6T is very "meh" with the stock camera app, but the Pixel port found in this forum transformed it completely, and it's substantially better now. Otherwise the XR definitely takes better pictures than the 8 Plus, but it's not by a huge margin...outdoor daylight pics look very similar, but the biggest difference is low light shots and the front cam shots. The front cam of the XR is noticeably better than that of the 8 plus. The 6t front cam however using the Gcam app is very noticeably more detailed and sharper than both iphone cams.
I notice no major or really even minor differences in smoothness between the XR and 8 plus...they feel about the same to me. I do notice a difference in the display tho for obvious reasons. The XR display honestly isn't bad at all, it's quite nice considering how low res it is and most reviewers are correct, you can't really spot the difference unless you're trying to. In day to day using it definitely looks better than the 4.7" iphones of the past, but not quite a nice as the Plus models or X models, but sits somewhere between instead.
I'd say if you have an X, just keep it or get the 6T to compliment it. The 6T *may* offer you a better day to day experience but honestly I'm not sure if the difference is worth the switch unless you're looking to go from IOS>Android.

Just say hello on this part of the XDA world, had my first Sony Smartphone ever yesterday the Z5...
Always used Mostly HTC and a few Samsung and my Last phone was a nexus 6...
First impressions are really good, lot of stuff by default that I used to root the other phones for 2 most useful being the battery percentage (why others don't do this baffles me) and the clear all in the recent apps i could almost live with this phone not rooted...
Its not as super zippy as the nexus 6 and the screen is a little smaller obviously but i found the Nexus just a bit too big.
Hopefully they'll be some more rooting and custom rom options soon...
Not sure about battery life yet but seems ok so far...
Biggest issue is the shape does anybody find this phone comfy to hold ?
Compared to my HTC M8 which is still have (as a spare) it feels really unnatural suppose you get used to it...
Be sure you're using the latest firmware, it made everything snappier and more responsive.
It's my first Sony phone too. Always had iPhones, Samsung and OnePlus phones before.
I highly recommend going for a third party launcher. I myself use Apex Pro for my Z1 which gives me more functions, better graphical effects/animations and overall much nicer GUI. This coupled with custom icons pack "Elun" for an elegant clean design. Pretty much always have a perfectly fluid 60fps interface and scrolling and I have lots of persistant apps that gives me various functions loaded all the time using resources. And I have compared against the S5, S6 Edge, M4 Aqua, Iphone 6S Plus and they all often fall under 60fps making for a stuttery GUI experience while looking worse and having less features running. So keyword is custom launcher to bring out the beast!
I know that OP5 is a whole lot faster, but what if I'm kinda in a tight budget, should I just go with OP3T?
Also, I'm worried about the jelly scrolling, if I'm gonna have the OP5 will I get used to it? And I'm assuming not all devices has the same level of jellyness because some don't see it and some do. I also tried replicating the jelly by turning my current Xiaomi phone upside down and tried using it for three hours and I ended up getting dizzy.
So here's my usage type.
-Don't game a lot
-Browse a lot like Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook
-Music
-Rare picture taking
-I like longer battery life
I know I don't really maximize the capability of the phone but I'm taking advantage of the 6 GB RAM which helps a lot in switching apps. OP3T 6GB 128GB is priced $440 (no 64GB available) in our country and OP5 6GB is priced $530. Is the $90 difference worth it considering my type of usage?
Thank you.
I'd go with 3T for what you're wanting.
They're exactly the same.. There's no much difference from 3T and 5.. Try look some videos on youtube 3T vs 5.. The only thing change is camera and no other else (excluding CPU and RAM of course)
Go with OP5. Jelly scrolling isnt as severe as people make it out to be. OP5 is better than OP3T in every aspect. That 90$ difference is well worth it.
- runs cooler than op3t
- battery capacity is smaller than op3t, but it runs longer.
- music quality through headphone jack is slightly better than 3t. The speaker is louder too.
- camera is a step up over 3t.
- being a newer phone, its expected OP will treat it better in terms of software update.

+1 , nothing to add. snapdragon 835 is more efficient. So both phones got about the same battery life.
But, even if this list seems cool, imho, it doesn't worth the 90$ at all.
And I should add : op3t got the OIS (optical image stabilisation), it might be better in low light scenes, when the shoot is a bit longer, so the shakiness of your hand wont blur the picture as much as the op5.
Presumably $90 is a significant amount of money in your budget or you wouldn't have asked the question to begin with. The OP5 processor is more power efficient and runs cooler than the 3T but the battery life between the two phones is about the same because the 3T has a larger battery. The OP5 has more powerful camera hardware but doesn't currently take advantage of it because the camera app is pretty lousy. You can take better point and shoot pictures with a $200 Samsung phone--especially in low light. Oreo is the last official Android build the 3T will receive while the OP5 will likely receive the build after Oreo but nothing after that. The jelly scroll problem on the OP5 isn't only because the screen was installed upside down but also because OP used the 3T display in the OP5 and the display isn't powerful enough for the rest of the hardware. If the screen refreshed faster and was higher resolution nobody would have even noticed that the display was upside down in the first place. The jelly effect drives some people crazy and other people aren't bothered by it but either way it's a design flaw that shouldn't be there and won't ever be fixed with software. I find myself clearing the system cache on my OP5 a lot because of frequent scrolling lag that seems to go away temporarily after I clear the cache. It's possible the scrolling lag is how I perceive the jelly effect but it can get pretty annoying --particularly because I never previously owned a phone with that issue. Only you can ultimately decide whether the OP5 is enough of an upgrade to merit the extra money. I think you might be as happy with the 3T given the description of your needs.

Yea. This is what making me to rethink again on really what to pick between the two, almost every reviewer mentioned that it's not getting hot like the 3T because of the 10nm processor. Which adds battery life too. I think I should see an actual unit before buying to decide if the scrolling will still make me dizzy.

Dont worry about the scrolling its all fluff from people who just gotta think negative. Its a great device and has virtually zero issues. There are some folks with wifi problems and the like but honestly i havent encountered any reboots. My phone didnt even reboot when calling 911 before that update. Never had wifi problems so i guess u could get one that acts up or one that just skates through
I do believe most of the people giving bad reviews about oneplus 5 don't actually have one.
Oneplus 5 is just a beast!
I say if you can afford to pay the extta $90 then just go for the 5. You'll most likely have longer software support since its newer, and will have higher resell value than the 3T if you were to sell it down the road.
3T is still a great device though but I'd still say try getting the 5 if it's possible!

Lol lag? Scrolling lag? I do a system cache wipe maybe once every 3 weeks just because. There is no lag in this phone ever. You maybe have something going on with your phone or have a bad app misbehaving. Ordered my phone the day off launch and it's been buttery smooth ever since. I'm rooted, Magisk, stock oos on stock kernel. If you have lag.... Is think you have something going on you haven't b found yet.

I have factory reset my phone twice, tried 3 custom kernels and maximized the kernel settings for high performance and minimum latency--and the scrolling lag always comes back eventually no matter what. It's also exactly the same in safe mode so it's not caused by any app I installed. People also complain about scrolling lag on the OP5 support thread pretty much every day so it's not just me. It might be a software issue with OOS though given how buggy the stock ROM is. I haven't tried any custom ROMs for the OP5.
Yes, yes, it's possible to love a phone. Heck, you sleep next to it, don't you? Rate this thread to indicate your love for the Huawei P30, all things considered. A higher rating indicates that the Huawei P30 is an incredible phone that you enjoy tremendously. You love it.

The 'If Only' phone of the year.
The things that Huawei have removed in comparison to the pro ruin what could have been one of the phones of the year especially at the price.
I love the reduced size and flat screen but I always get a sense I am using a compromised device when I pick it up. The model that Samsung adopted with the S10 IMO makes more sense.
Shame.
....humm, do you need 10x zoom? in real life No. Time-of-Flight(TOF) for Ultra Boken effect, No. Wireless Charge.... Cool, but No. And IP68: I never broke a smartphone in my life because of water, but broke too much on the ground!!
Saving 200$ USD and I have better battery life, all the main spec of the Pro and I can Hook and use it in ONE hand!!
I compare with Samsung S10 and try it. But, cost me 300$ USD more than the P30 and battery life pain to last one day... No. Hole in the screen not compatible to many app... and Bixby!!!
If someone speak french, there's a link here: youtu.be/5yCJ8o85fXI
I've been using the P30 for a month now.
I need the headphone jack more than wireless charging or 10x zoom. I also prefer the smaler form factor and I drop my phone every now and then and I don't think curved displays like this a lot.
I am coming from a Galaxy S7 so it was a bigger jump and I am completly happy with this phone. Great performance, great screen - but the two most important things are for me - impressive camera and impressive battery life. The Galaxy S10e was an option but then I read about its mediocre battery life, and to my expierience Samsung always looses in this department.
No faults or bugs so far. I've been using Nova Launcher for years so I am not bothered with EMUI. I like the dark mode and the gestures, though. The Huawei software seems a bit too nosie for my taste so I deactivated most of it and I did not activate the Huawei-cloud. But in general I consider this phone the best deal for me at the moment.

hi!
same situation , s10e was an option, but battery in samsung is something annoying, same with not symmetrical front camera...
p30 is great choice for me!
Just got my P30 2 days ago. It's also my first Huawei phone. No regrets. I absolutely love this. I'm coming from a Pixel 2, and although I prefer stock Android any day, I found it so hard to ignore the hardware innovation from other manufacturers. I didn't want to wait for a miracle and hope Google would design their next Pixel up to modern standards and have more than 4GB of RAM.
EMUI isn't perfect, but it's honestly not as bad as YouTube and tech reviewers say it is. To me, slapping on Hyperion Launcher made it so much better.
Don't even get me started with the battery life of this thing.

Yes, I did notice that. It's likely how EMUI handles app switching, so any third-party launcher we use will always have that effect.
Though I wish it didn't have to happen, it doesn't bother me very much.
Hello,
I got this device for free. I had a Oneplus 6t , and a Mate 10 Pro before.
I can tell, scrolling on this phone is smooth as hell. Compared to the Mate 10 Pro, this is really a complete different level. Oneplus is known as one of the fastest and smoothest phone out.. But really, this phone beats Onplus 6t in scrolling smoothness... Really amazed and surprised after having Mate 10 Pro... Huawei has done its job well! This phone is really fast
The camara is nice and is probably good enough for most of the people out there... but the camara of the Pro model is the way to go if you want to have the best.
I thought battery would be to small for me after having Mate 10 Pro with 4000 mha and Oneplus 6t with 3700. But i m really pleased by the battery life of this phone.. its comparable to the other devices! Nice!!!
Emui isnt that bad as everyone says... And it has improved a lot compared to my Mate 10 Pro. I m sure you wont regret it if you buy this phone, i prefer it over my Oneplus 6t.
Good job!!

Whats gonna happen to the P30 now with Google pulled out.....Just happened, like today! Google is done with Huawei.....It says the only way to get google on it now is through open source (AOSP) but do this mean we will still be able to sign into our goolge accounts and get play store updates???

Okay. It really boggles me how they implemented it in their launcher. I guess it gets closed by their aggressive RAM management and that causes this issue. Pretty dumb and a problem for atleast a year now. I did contact them though so they know about this issue and explained it as thoroughly as possible. They told me that they don't need any further information for now, maybe they'll have a fix ready for the next update. That's the only downside to Huawei phones for me: Their UI and software changes aren't really done well, causing issues that shouldn't exist.
Between P30 and P30 pro, for me, my biggest concern is losing is OIS which is helpful in night mode. Having 5X optical would be nice, but not at the expense of suffering with digital between. The 3X optical is probably more useful. Gaining the headphone jack is great and I prefer not having a curved screen. And I prefer a smaller phone. Though at that point, I start to wonder if I should get a S10.
I owned P20-pro and P30.
Except for battery life and camera, everything else is better with S10.
Camera quality is good enough, but battery life is not good.
Sent from my Galaxy S10 using XDA Labs
Well, they are both OLED's and I think the resolution is "good enough". Both are better than my current phone so I guess I wont know what I'm missing. As for one UI vs EMUI, I'm not certain how much it matters. I use nova launcher + lineage right now. I'm unsure how much I'd be affected by the mfr skin. One HUGE thing is that the S10 series can be rooted, the P series can't even be unlocked let alone rooted. So If I don't like EMUI, I can't just install lineage. More importantly, after 2yrs, if it hasnt been unlocked, I won't be able to prolong the life of the phone by installing a newer UPDATED rom. That is probably the big thing that is making me lean towards the S10 series. The other things all seem minor.
But P30 vs P30 pro, its mainly the camera. In reality, I'm not sure how important all the night shooting is to me. I just know that the most frustrating thing about every past phone camera has been its inability to take a phone when lighting is poor so I'm tempoted to go towards the P30.
P30 is probably the best phone I've ever had but it has few downsides. For example scrolling lag in youtube while watching video, while searching for bluetooth devices(probably software bug that will be fixed in near future). That doesn't bother but autofocus is pretty bad compared to my old s8+. I often get blurry images when taking shot on the go sometimes even on steady shots. It's strange that 2yr old samsung phone can do better autofocus. Phone is super fast with amazing battery life(I don't remember ever getting 7hours SOT on 48hours usage with 10% left), the photos that are not blurry are super gorgeous. Call quality, wifi connection.... are excellent. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase.

128gb, 6gb ram, resolution auto, brightness auto, location on and disabled almost every gestures except do a screenshot with knuckle. System firmware: 9.1.0.178. Mostly using instagram, facebook(and messenger), snapchat, spotify and some not heavy games.
Ok
Do I love this phone? Yes!! It has the performance of a flagship without having an out of this world price. Unfortunately, Huawei support is a cluster****, you need to register your phone with Huawei ID for warranty purpose but there's no link on their Canadian webpage. Also, they advertise support for Huawei Cloud backup but it's unavailable in Canada.
Worst Android device I have owned since 2011, possibly ever
Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the OnePlus 7 Pro under such conditions.

For those who have a pixel 3 XL and this phone, has the Oneplus 7 Pro reached the fluidity and smoothness levels of Pixel? I know in the past, Oneplus phones have had problems with stuttery scrolling or just not being as smooth as Pixel phones. Is this different with the 7 pro bc of the 90 hz display? Specifically is there an improvement in profile gpu rendering?
It is perfect. I really cannot see any stuttering. And I am veeery picky about that.
I came to this phone from a Razer phone which had a 120hz variable screen.
This screen is great! Best of both worlds, smoothness of 90hz and coloura and brightness of OLED.
It's been the smoothest phone I've seen honestly.
I currently have Pixel 3XL, Samsung s10+ and OnePlus 7 Pro. This 90 refresh rate works wonders.

Easily the smoothest phone I've seen, even compared to the mighty S10. Oxygen OS is seemingly a great version of Android that I'm loving.
This a dream come true...Smooth as Silk!
I've owned every Pixel phone out and this is my first OnePlus device. Honestly, I'd say that OnePlus knocked the stock android experience out of the park. It's as smooth as my Pixel 3 XL, but with 8gb of RAM, there is no stutter or delay. Even when having multiple apps open in the background, then opening the camera to snap a quick photo. I've had my Pixel 3XL straight up take around 8 to 12 seconds to open up the camera app when I attempted to either take a photo or record a video. One time, I had actually started recording a video of a friends surprise birthday party and the video was around 20 seconds in when the camera app just decided to closed out completely, while I was recording, and when I opened it back up, it never saved the video. Needless to say I was pissed. The the overall OS is better than the Pixel. You have native screen recording, scrolling screenshot (something Google claimed could not be implemented in Android Q so it would be put in Android R), and extreme customization options. Honestly the ONLY things that I miss from my Pixel 3 XL are the camera, the smart replies, and the dark themed Google App on the left home screen. the camera alone, is the reason why I keep my P3XL in my work bag. Also, since my OnePlus is the T-Mobile variant, I even have "Chat" functionality in the stock messages app, something that I'm still waiting for to roll out to my Pixel device.
totally. This 90 Hz screen wipes the floor with my Pixel 3 its insane. The experience is way smoother than on a Pixel.

I've owned every Pixel phone out and this is my first OnePlus device. Honestly, I'd say that OnePlus knocked the stock android experience out of the park. It's as smooth as my Pixel 3 XL, but with 8gb of RAM, there is no stutter or delay. Even when having multiple apps open in the background, then opening the camera to snap a quick photo. I've had my Pixel 3XL straight up take around 8 to 12 seconds to open up the camera app when I attempted to either take a photo or record a video. One time, I had actually started recording a video of a friends surprise birthday party and the video was around 20 seconds in when the camera app just decided to closed out completely, while I was recording, and when I opened it back up, it never saved the video. Needless to say I was pissed. The the overall OS is better than the Pixel. You have native screen recording, scrolling screenshot (something Google claimed could not be implemented in Android Q so it would be put in Android R), and extreme customization options. Honestly the ONLY things that I miss from my Pixel 3 XL are the camera, the smart replies, and the dark themed Google App on the left home screen. the camera alone, is the reason why I keep my P3XL in my work bag. Also, since my OnePlus is the T-Mobile variant, I even have "Chat" functionality in the stock messages app, something that I'm still waiting for to roll out to my Pixel device.

You can get the dark Google app to the left back with rootless Launcher from the play store, just install the "bridge.apk" from the description and then enable the settings by long pressing on the home screen and opening "home settings"

While that's true. Let's not forget its a next gen phone compared to the pixel.
I've had all Pixel and OnePlus phones over the last few years. Let's not forget the Pixel is beast when it works right witch I'll say for me has been just part time. As for OnePlus I haven't had that problem. I've always regretted giving up my OnePlus phone when the Pixel comes out. I can't say the same for going to OnePlus. I have to be fair and say that Pixel camera though? when it works right
Oops I forgot I didn't own the Oneplus 5 or 5T. I also didn't own the smaller Pi El devices just the XLs

For those who have a pixel 3 XL and this phone, has the Oneplus 7 Pro reached the fluidity and smoothness levels of Pixel? I know in the past, Oneplus phones have had problems with stuttery scrolling or just not being as smooth as Pixel phones. Is this different with the 7 pro bc of the 90 hz display? Specifically is there an improvement in profile gpu rendering?

In my experience OnePlus phones have kept their performance way past the Pixel phones. Hardware has held up great compared. I can't tell you the frustrations I've had with bugs and returning phones. If you read up in many forums you'll see what I'm talking about. OnePlus lack of a great camera pales in comparison to my frustrations with the Pixel series. I have no brand loyalty either by the way. I've had most flagships including iPhones. Shoot I have the iPad pro and sold my XS Max and Pixel 3 XL recently.

yeah, the newer soc probably helps, but I think the 90 Hz screen contributes the most to the buttery smooth scrolling experience. I hope there are more devices in the future with this refresh rate and that they are soon be able to build smaller screens with this tech.
@lkhafra
yep, the camera is also my last issue with that device. Thanks god / the devs that there is a modded GCam

Without the 90Hz i Take it over the #XL or even the 4. Google hasnt shown that their phones are beyond beta projects. I had almost every single phone from them Nexus line- Pixel. as far as I'm concerned Google hardware exists to make other phone manufacturers raise their game.
Hmmm dastest updates but takes forever n a day to address major bugs and to me has more than most others. How can the people that make the OS and do the least modifications be so bad at it. You would think they would run laps around everyone. I think they get a pass in the public because of camera and the fact that reviews go up before these major problems pop up. **** theres been major crap with the cameras going back to the original XL. I.d rather have relaible overall than when it worls right half of the time. It sucks but ill take a crappy camera over that.

Well I've never had may problems with pixels. Had every generation at some point... along with many other phones. It's more than just a good camera. Pixels always been very reliable phones for me. So what your saying isn't true for the majority of people. I'm not bashing anyone or anything as I'm now on the op 7 pro. Mainly for the better battery life

I wish I could say the same. I know it's not everyone but to me it's enough people and I've been knee deep in tech before the smartphone boom. You see this from so many people like me and the YouTubers/tech people so many tune into. You don't get a rep for no reason. I never thought I'd be so accepting of a crappy ass camera having 4 kids. Google hasn't given me reason enough to stick with them after a decade of support. I think OnePlus will fix their cameras before Google gets a clue. We will see. I've had over 60 flagships and don't want to keep switching anymore.
As the people who make the os for everyone their phones should be leaps and bounds better in reliability software wise. Hell as big as Google is they need to get hardware problems in wraps too. These aren't the old Nexus days.

Of course we do and some are shared with many others. If you're not one of the ones effected great. For the ones that have been for years of well.

I'm currently using the OP7Pro, have been since launch day and love it. Rocking Dual sims for Personal and Work, both CDMA-Less and works fine. My question is those that have come from the 7Pro to the 8Pro, do you think it's worth it? I typically do upgrade phones once a year, and can never have a large enough screen so the larger screen is a BONUS. I'm in the US so I know I can't use Dual Sims yet, thus why I haven't pulled the trigger. Is the speed increase noticeable? What about the cameras? I live in Hawaii so I take a lot of WA shots of landscapes, so is it that much better?
Just curious to those that have upgraded, in today's times $999 is a chunk of change but I'm willing to pay for a better phone.
Mahalo for any insights/thoughts.
Well, I'm coming from a 7T Pro, so while this may not directly answer to your question I think its comparable enough
I really like the Oneplus 8 Pro compared to the 7T Pro, my comparison in bullet points:
+ larger screen with steeper curves, I always disliked the flatter curves on the 7T Pro/7 Pro displays
+ 120 Hz is really again a noticeable difference for me
+ wireless charging
+ the cameras are really better, noticeably so - and this is comparing stock, I'm still fiddling with getting GCam to achieve optimized results for me. I cannot tell much about WA, sadly, because I haven't used it very much so far. Will do some comparison shots later this week, presently getting out is a bit constrained
+ speed is nice and fine but I don't think its a really significant difference in everyday life - still positive, though
o wireless reception is a mixed bag presently, especially in areas with weak/fluctuating signal strength - I do hope its fixable by OOS update
o size - its again a tad larger than the 7T/7 Pro. While it doesn't feel like that in hand (it actually feels nicer in hand to me !) its still quite a chunk to put into any pocket. For me this is the absolute maximum I can accept on a phone
o battery life so far is OKish, standby is pretty good (better than 7T Pro) but usage is comparable - but that is with stock against custom kernel, so I expect improvements there in the future
No real negatives for me, maybe aside from the fact that this is no longer the "flagship killer bargain" but a flagship at a flagship price. I can live with that because it ticks all marks (aside from size) on a good phone for me and I will simply keep this one longer before exchanging it.
Now I am a phone nerd who likes to tinker with the latest and greatest and thus the upgrade is fine for me. Is the upgrade sensible in price vs features - I don't think so, but thats in the end up personal preferences and financial "headroom" .
I came from op7 pro too because It has the screen broken, and I prefered to upgrade.
If op7pro is perfect, I will not upgrade un your case. I love OP8pro, but the price dont worth the upgrade:
- Gcam is still better than stock camera for me.
- You will lost oneplus gesture and forced dark mode.
+ Design more comfortable.
+ Screen brighter.
+ Wireless charging, for me it's irrelevant.
120 Hz is smoother but, I cant see a big diference. I would like to have 90hz option.
If your Pro is in good working order, maybe wait for the 8T, they'll address any issues that may have been present in the 8.
That being said, this is the first OnePlus where they've got pretty much everything perfect, namely the camera and screen (green tint aside)
