-1 because of the notch

-another 1 because of not rootable or ability to change rom from Chinese to European.

I'm in the USA. The phone is not sold here and I imported it and would have liked to switch rooms. That is how it came here.

Don't you feel dumb now that the US version is shipping in a couple days with more ram and enhanced LTE Band coverage...

No way to predict if the phone was actually coming to the US, but it doesn't have less ram and it was cheaper, my only problem with the Chinese rom is it doesn't play well with Google services and kills background services constantly, which causes me to constantly manually having to reset default apps, like Google Assistant, but from where I got it in China, I saved over $100 bucks, not bad. So I don't feel stupid, just mildly annoyed.

At the moment i didn't faced ram problems yet, usually with nothing working, i had 2GB of ram free when i was on Marshmallow. After the Nougat update and various optimization settings, things are even better; my free ram is always on 2,25GB until i launch something
ram management is better than i expected, im impressed actually

No, dood, i (like others) don't get money or either gifts as a reward just for doing something that thread itself suggests, reason for i invite you to read better OP. Let's say that I've felt more than free to express my opinion about the thread object, like other users that owns this phone i suppose, since that I'm enjoying this phone especially for how much i payed it, giving me highly performances with no need to spend like a flagship or something similar, i'd NEVER buy a phone that costs more than 200€. Let me understand so; you have something wrong about this phone that doesn't let ya enjoy it, and so seeing people happy with it simply discussing about various aspects and capabilities of the phone bore ya, or let you even think that Huawei could have hired people to promote their phones on XDA?
Remember that if there was something wrong talking about a phone in this manner, a moderator would already told us something since that it's surely a moderator responsibility to do that... Relax guy, enjoy something too!
In the last line we can see that roomco05 win a great honor coupon for his activity on this forum. Legit, but his opinion is the truth?
I think that the result of this giveaway from xda is that this phone has no active development but a lot of chit chat from people interested only in rewards. And a lot of thread are alive when no one is really involved in this phone. And this criticism is not directed to you, but in general at the sponsored direction that xda take.

Hi, Honor King are you using a 3GB ram variant or a 4GB ram variant?? & can you tell me is 3GB ram will be sufficient for medium uses??
Rommco05 said:
I couple days a go sold 6X with 3Gb ram. For medium uses is 2Gb ok (maybe no with Nougat) (I use too p8lite with 2Gb and don't have any problems) and with 3Gb you will have reserve. What exactly u mean medium use? By the way, EMUI is really stable and have good management ram, but this is different of each user how knows use Android and EMUI

Why you sold your Honor 6X,, is there any prob?
& I will use my phone mainly for reading ebooks,, browsing,, youtube videos streaming, calling & photography, I am not a gamer? so which will be right choice for me 3GB or 4GB? & which will be good for long run as I don't change my phone frequently..
Rommco05 said:
I like changing phones (Honor 8 already changed for Honor 9 and 6X for Nokia 6 commin to near days, p10lite-cancelled) 6X don't have good display so for eBooks, I don't know, browsing any problem I have already many pages opened 24hours in Chrome, probably for u is good choice 6X. I'm not a expert about phones (I prefer Huawei/Honor and HTC, Nokia is experiment) I too never play on my phone any game. Any way 6X is good phone, how much u many cost in your country?

This is so disappointing... You are just insatiable. Learn how to avoid to spitting on other people's work, because this is what you're doing. Kernel sources for Honor 6X has been released less than a month ago, the OpenKirin team of developers posted 3 different custom roms almost immediately in the same week, and you are still there blabbing with sarcasm? First of all, the roms aren't just "not working", but they have some bugs related to Huawei hardware components that won't collaborate that easy with third party OS, and the point is a little bit different. Second, but not because less important, maybe you've forgot the fact that those developers are normal people that are working to these custom roms just FOR FREE, facing all the issues that you can encounter while you are trying to make an OS work correctly with phone's hardware. How can you expect perfect custom roms to came out in neither one month from the release of sources, since that there are phones with kernel sources released more than 3 years ago that still suffers other kind of bugs (like a correctly working GPS location?) Third, and last, since that after this I'd like to stop this useless discussion here; if you're that good on third party roms development... Well, why don't ya take the chance to contribute and help developers resolve those bugs? Perhaps for you it'll be easier than drink a cup of water! Or maybe you'll face the reality.
If you have read my post I speak about Huawei support to the development community, not about the developer's work. I have maximum respect for developers, but not for the Huawei philosophy. I was a day one honor 6x buyer, on January, because the phone was presented with a lot of support for development, but it was not true. Six months later we have the sources, but incomplete. A lot of bugs on stock rom, never solved. This are facts, not opinions.
3gb ram is enough for the fluidity of this baby.
Works well and no lag whatsoever till date
Multitasking is good.
Much much better than other oem
In my mi max prime only 2gb ram was free despite having 4gb ram and when opening 10 12 apps in background just 600:700mb free ram
Asus zenfone was having 700 mb free out of 3gb
But this phone have 2gb free ram all time and when using apps 10 12 in background still around 1gb always free
(emui restrict and kill some apps in background)

The P11 Plus...

They say this is the P11Plus.
If that is so, I reckon Huawei is in trouble.
Remember the outcry at the Samsung S5? Well, if this is the P11 Plus, I don't think Huawei is doing enough with design to stay competitive.
Yes, it appears that everyone is reaching the very edges of what more to do with design but I have a feeling that everyone will be launching 'desirable' phones in 2018 - Annnnnd looking like this, this just simply is not.
What do you think?

Who cares? I even havent seen any Mate 10 or P10 in my country yet, let alone P11 or something we would call in the future. Relax friend!
Why post this in the Mate 9 section? It's got nothing to do with the Mate 9.
I like it.
I hope they keep it simple and not glass all-round like Mate 10. Too fragile.

Keep your hair on.
Because the P11 doesn't have it's own site up yet.
We're Huawei and we're interested in what's coming up.
It will disappear very soon anyway...
If you look you'll see that people will discuss - lightly - what's on the horizon.
It's interesting.

Those guys are idiots, not even a Huawei phone (Aurora is a cheap pos phone brand you can find on Alibaba), besides them mentioning a mate 11 and mate 11 pro, neither of which exist, these guys need to check their s*** before they publish if they want to have any semblance of credibility.

Well if HMD isn't going to show North America any consideration, i think i might just import this phone - even with no LTE support.
The last time i imported a phone unreleased in the US was the Nokia N80 and it was one of my favourite phones to date.
I do hope they're going to provide a possibility to unlock the bootloader. But i bought it anyway because it seemed just to good for it's price.
And so far i love it!
It looks so damn sexy, feels great and performs very well.
I only have it for a small week now but i really love it.
Performs well in games also without heating up and so far the camera is very good as well.

You can get the Chinese variant because it has band 4 LTE according to gsmarena and you will get LTE in NA.
With no Google services? No thanks

Perhaps you missed that LTE support was the ideal scenario.
As a last resort, i would import from Europe - but the global ROM on a Chinese variant is a far more enticing prospect for at least ONE North American LTE band.

That's my only gripe with the phone(and the bootloader unlock uncertainty) but that can be address with some apps, future updates to the ambient display functionality or just a minor adjustment from our part.
I wasn't sure I could live without the led and even tried some apps but the reality is, after one week, I did not miss any more notifications that I was already missing with my last phone. For now this is the phone I've should have bought after leaving the Nexus 5. But hey, lesson learned, I'm not buying another Xiaomi, that's for sure...
I bought black/copper version yesterday and man I'm loving this phone. Coming from OnePlus 3T. I kinda wished that notification light, but I have allready forgotten "need" for that. Yes. it's convinient to have it, but lifting phone to check notifications is quick. Or you can double tap screen to wake screen and see whole notifications.
I think there could be place to optimize os a bit further. There are minor lags and hungups here and there. I know that we are dealing with S660, but I feel like these could be addressed by optimizing os.
I feel sort of nostalgic to have Nokia phone again after so many years. Last Nokia phone was 5800 XpressMusic and man that phone sucked quite many way.
Beautiful phone. Got this from 2 days ago and I am surprised.
I don't need notification led .
I love battery capacity and Android One
The phone is very smooth and 8.1 response very fast with SD660.
The only minus is volte and vowifi for my carrier.

C'mon mate in these days all the people around the world are checking their phones regularly.It's became already a bad habit.
In my point of view the notification led is history...
Quite a nice phone. I'm still unsure whether I'm going to return it or not, but for now I'm keen on keeping it.
I was looking for a replacement for my [too heavily modded and slowly killed of - sorry mate...] Xiaomi Mi5 in the 400 euro price range, and I think I actually found it.
Feels great in the hand, weight and everything, the big screen is really nice, the camera is pretty good, the audio is good enough for my ears, with 2.5h+ sot and two configurations with lots of backed up data/one factory reset + 8.1 update while still having 60% battery is really nice (all the while being on data) and the stock Android is just perfect for me, would not want more. My only gripes would be the slight hangs in scrolling speed, when it tries up to lazy load the next scrolling page (the mi5 was not as obvious as the nokia when it tried to do this), the slight lag when opening the recents tab and the slight delay when unlocking with the fingerprint reader, but I suppose this is something I can go by with.
Why did I go for the Nokia when I could've go for last year's flagships? I honestly wanted a newer chipset, stock Android (without any flashing in between) at an affordable price, and I think this hits the marks.
I feel depressed af. After using a device with the worst community ever(it did not even have a dedicated XDA forum) I bought this, now with release of Moto g6 series and Nokia x6 I feel angry and depressed at the same time. What the **** is wrong with Nokia why the **** would they release x6 when they already have the 7 plus. The x6 has better specs, better designfor a lesser price. But the thing that really makes me angry is that there is no distinctive feature about this phone. To top that there are so less accessories for this phone and the ones available are not even good. There are no skins available for this phone either and even if they will be available all the copper on the phone will make the phone look ridiculous. Now the x6 is released for lesser price and by the number of people who bought it or pre ordered it, it looks like it will have a better accessories.l, and the glass back also looks better than the 7 plus. You may say the 7 plus is an Android one phone but Nokia releases different updates to different regions where some regions have certain features and some not. To sum it up the phone is good but with no option to unlock bootloader and no market for accessories it sucks.

I'm not sure where you are heading.
The X6 has worse chipset, worse camera specs, having glass back is not a plus in my book (breaks easily). I've been able to find alle covers etc on aliexpress/ebay for my 7+ needs.
But it's a shame with the lack up updates for some people, big bummer by Nokia there, they should release updates worldwide for everybody at same time. And locked bootloader etc is a shame too. But overall I'm very happy with the phone.

So far, based on the reveal, it ticks all the boxes for anything I'd ever want in a phone! The pop-up selfie cam is a great feature and allows for a FULL almost bezelless screen, and I'm looking forward to the warp charging, 90Hz display, battery capacity, improved vibration, high RAM and storage, and a price that's right for everything packed in it! As a dedicated Android geek and lover of phones, I can safely say this will be one I'll love

Actually I have a question: I'm not really familiar with OnePlus and been hearing all the hoopla over the 7 Pro lately. I'm currently using a (bleep) unrootable Kyocera DuraForce Pro and am just about had it with the software issues I'm having with the phone that could've been fixable if it was rooted.
Overall, how good has OnePlus been regarding getting root on their phones?
Based on the specs I've been reading about the 7 Pro, it looks like an interesting option. HOWEVER, I require root so I can strip the crapware and slugwares and tweak the os itself to my performance requirements.
Picked mine up today from Miami and I'm in love ...turned in a Note 9 for it. Silky smooth, fast as hell and the screen is incredible.

I think you're in for a treat then.
OnePlus has always been very developer and community friendly. Their first phones actually shipped with CyanogenMod, the predecesor of LinageOS. That's the type of software people go trough hoops and loops to get, right out of the box.
Now they're using OxygenOS, which is their own android skin, and is pretty close to stock android. They also come with no OnePlus bloatware or duplicate apps.
Be careful not to get the T-Mobile variant tough, as I believe those do have a locked bootloader, which would make you unable to root or flash custom ROMs.

Yeah, T-mobile's variant of the 6T did indeed come with a locked bootloader. However, OnePlus did provide a bootloader unlock code that you could register for. The only caveat was that you had to be carrier unlocked, which you *technically* are not able to do until the device is paid off...BUT...after talking to T-Mobile reps, a lot of people, myself included, were granted the opportunity to carrier unlock their phones. For me, the rep basically said that if I paid two of my monthly installments upfront, they would unlock it for me. Of course, being the geek I am, albeit one with low patience for waiting to root, I obliged! Once I registered for the bootloader unlock code, I just had to wait a week to receive it. Man, was that the longest week ever, haha XD Then, all you have to do is follow the instructions on the OnePlus site as to how to enter it via ADB, and then "OEM unlock," and you're golden! I'm anxious to see how the 7 Pro will arrive out of the box.
Oneplus 7 pro display is a feast to eyes
Fell for the display and have placed my order for op7pro today. I currently use s9 and was holding back from buying s10+ to see how op7pro would be. This phone feels well built and sturdy compared to s10+. Will post more once I receive the phone.
Just ordered mine. Only concern is if ill get a proper case for it as reviews say the curved edges are a bit too covered...?

I have the official OnePlus bumper case as well as the protective case and they both fit great with no coverage over the screen. Even with the bumper case there is a good 1mm gap between the case and visible screen.

I have had the OP 7 Pro for over 24 hours now and am very pleased with it. The one main concern for me was the size, as I knew it would be quite a large phone with some good weight to it (coming from the Pixel 3). But honestly, it really isn't that bad. Everything so far has been excellent. The software is great as you would expect from OnePlus, photos look great (haven't taken too many yet to really get an honest opinion), screen and 90hz rate is just awesome. I am also quite impressed by the sound, I am really glad they stepped up their speakers on this device. I have read some concerns about battery life, but I started this day at full charge and currently have 56% left with 3 hrs 36 min of screen time (I have been on more than usual today since I have been playing with the device). However, this is great battery life for me as I try to get at least 30 min of screen usage out of every 10% battery droppage (that has been my go-to measurement for years). Overall, very happy with the purchase.
TMobile states the software updates will come from OnePlus...I'm not sure I believe this

I used S10+ for a month. Top notch camera experience be it stills or video.
How is this OnePlus 7 pro in camera department? Also it's >200g weight, isn't that too heavy?
Ordered mine today as well. My OP6 will be handed down to my oldest son. Added the premium bundle too. Extra charger, case, and type c buds are a nice addition.

I used S10+ for a month. Top notch camera experience be it stills or video.
How is this OnePlus 7 pro in camera department? Also it's >200g weight, isn't that too heavy?

Oneplus lacks a bit compared to s10 in camera department as of now, but as seen before gcam app on one plus devices improves it a lot... So waiting for a working modded gcam app for this phone... Also weight is very well balanced and has a kind of sturdy feeling...
...aaand I got mine this morning! Love it
How is the glare on the edges of the curved screen? I'm really concerned about that.

Don't. OnePlus confirmed TMobile updates would be slower.
With an unlocked bootloader, would it possible to flash the non TMobile software and still recieve OTA updates? I heard TMobile is carrier unlocking financed phones upon request if you give 2 months as a down payment.

I would suggest checking out the 6t forums, but if i remember as long as the device itself isn't different from the unlocked variant, (different bands, processor etc) once your on the regular stock rom, you should be able fine to receive OTA updates since it's the same device as an unlocked one.
The phone itself looks fantastic and i'm really close to pulling the trigger, but i'm on an s8 ( stock) and i have unfortunately grown accustomed to using Samsung Pay. It's almost unfair that google couldn't get MST for google pay, and even worse that i love using it.

Well I was at the store this morning and had it all ready to go til I found out that yet again the TMobile variant didn't have the second sim slot. Bummer.

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Sony Xperia 5 II keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Sony Xperia 5 II. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
The phone has been released for a month now, but there are 0 development threads. In the past I owned phones like HTC HD2 and Pocophone F1, 5 II is my first Sony smartphone. Ever since the HD2, development has been one of the most important things when buying a phone to me, but this time I didn't see a lot of options. Now I'm worried I won't be able to use the 5 II to it's full potential.

Like I said, Sony seemed like the only way to go. I hate big screens, I'll never use Exynos and I'm done with giving my money to chinese corporations.
