P7 or Nexus 5 - Huawei Ascend P7

Hey all,
I currently have a Nexus 5 and I am pretty happy with it but it looks like I may get a P7.
My question is: what is your opinion of you could choose? Would you get the P7 or the Nexus 5?

If you're interested in Custom Roms and control over your phone, don't get a P7. Huawei has obviously imposed many hurdles to create custom ROMs what made me very dissatisfied. I also know a lot about their software development from an internship and it's too bad. They should stick to creating great hardware and leave the software to people who know it better.

Well, I'm quite satisfied with my brand new P7. I am used to iOS devices, and I will never-ever go back. Love the design, Android, but dislike Huaweis EMUI.
So maybe the question should rather be if you want the pure Andriod OS or if you can settle with the EMUI packed in sweet design (really love the P7 design, as you might figure).
Good luck.

After I opened this thread I asked myself: why choose when you can have both?
So now I got both, will see how it goes and will decide on one
Thanks all.

they released just buggy BETA version yet, final release is expected to the end of march (Q1)
Huawei devices are really beautiful! I will actually go so far to say, imho Huawei makes the best contructed phones currently on the market.
But after using the P8 for almost a year, I can't stand EMUI anymore! I need a more vanilla-type Android. If there continues to be no custom rom support for Huawei devices, I will not buy another one...

iOS is pretty nice, but EMUI is just cheap, buggy and laggy fake of it. Marshmallow is much better, but right now we need to wait

I think iOS is pretty cheap boring and tacky .. there is nothing else just icons.. so how can be so pretty nice ?!?! there are no even widgets..
If apple would make EMUI us would auto admire EMUI just because it is from apple..
EMUI is the best of all android launchers ..

1. emui is not launcher
2. emui best? really? in marshmallow it look and works pretty nice besides bugs, but actual Emui 3.1 is the worst modded android version available, even touchwiz is much better, the visual bugs of emui bothers me so much, i had S4 mini with CM 12 before p8, and it was much more lag less and more speed, sadly

launcher is just app that manages your homescreen (like Nova launcher, Apex,...) but EMUI is highly modified android, i dont know whats the term for this in english, anyway, you are right i didnt have Mate 7 or 8 but i have P8 wich is pretty much the same or a bit slower, anyway huawei just released final marshmallow and im happy i can finally enjoy using my phone like it was supposed to be :good:
I am really disappointed with design .. like no much change..
As the only information posted in the OP was a selling site link, I'm closing this thread.

What phone are you coming from? Why the P9?

I use a LG G3, 2 years later, looking at LG G5... Its ugly, smaller screen, no back buttons, no wireless charging, disappointed, so... now looking at P9 Plus as the best phone out there... Where are you coming from? And why the interest in the P9?

P9 plus will be expensive..
For me apealing features :
64gb+4gb+DualSim+IrBlaster+5.5InchScreen+FingerprintReader+DualSpeakers
(Other main features are add on for me ?? )
Like force touch+3400mAh+price+......
ALL THESE TOGATHER....finally!!!
Is there any phone with same or more features combined
Yes there was a phone with almost same features. ...HTC ONE ME but screen little small and Zero development.... so sad
Hope P9 Plus will get good support from Devs here in XDA
I am interested in the P9 Plus or the HTC 10, I'll be coming from a HTC M9+, I am also interested in the big screen, IR and stereo speakers. I just worry about the speediness of Huawei on OS upgrades. Not sure the P8 has officially got Marshmallow everywhere yet, so Lord knows when you'd get Android N with the P9 or P9 Plus

Totally agree, this is like the phone I've been waiting for since I got my G2. Unfortunately to me the 3rd party dev support is what's gonna make it or break it...
I've been a loyal BlackBerry user for as long as I've had a smartphone: 9000, 9800, Z10, Z30 and currently Passport. Unfortunately even I've had to admit that BB10 is in it's final death throes. I flirted with the Sony Xperia S between the 9800 and the launch of the Z10 and the 3rd party ROM development was a big attraction. However the spec of the P9 Plus ticks all the boxes and coupled with the fact that I'm a Leica owner anyway, the draw (gimmick) of the Leica tie in, means that even without the ROM development the P9+ is likely to be my next phone.
Do any of you know when this is coming to NA?

Coming from the 1+1, i dont like the screen and touchscreen sensitivity.. If the 9+ gets CM or AOSP Roms i will buy one. Altough i wanted the SD 820 more.

I hope the dev community gets even a little support, because I plan to come from a ZTE Axon Elite, the Mate 8 has a decent amount of dev support including ROM's and stuff so hopefully the P9 Plus does too. Other than that, the AMOLED display, the faster more efficient processor, bigger battery, and (hopefully) better camera are drawing me over my current device, I would highly doubt audio is better though.

Here are a few articles on P9/Plus.
==>
weak:
-****ty default UI & bloatware
-camera is decent but not breaking headlines
good:
apart from the weakness, all is superb
==>
so if someone from xda released an excellent and stable custom rom 6 month after release, this will fix the ****ty UI and bloatware problem, and the phone shall be one of the best on the market. Yes?!
If so i'm gonna make the switch from my iphone 6 plus
Have a Sony Z2 since release and searching for a new phone. I am interested in the camera, big memory and battery. Seems like a great phone! Hope the "bugs" will be fixed like battery drain and something with the SD-card not being able to behave like internal memory (please correct me).
Only a month left until I am able to buy a P9 plus. Oh, it is not shipped with the possibility to use 2 sims here in Sweden.

Another thing to consider is the sustained performance that the phone can deliver, i haven't noticed any throttle after 1+ hours of gaming.

Phone Upgrade

Hi everyone! It's my 1st time posting here. I will be upgrading my plan and i was thinking of getting P9. I just need quick opinion if its worth choosing this phone based on everyones overall experience here.
Would really appreciate your inputs. ?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00AD using XDA-Developers mobile app
Don't do it i came from samsung note 3 en have now the P9. I wish i never buy it ......i go back to samsung.
On the other hand, I came from an S5 and the Huawei is a far better phone...
I've had Samsung Note 2, LG G3, OnePlus 2... The P9 has them all beat if you ask me. Great design, great camera, good battery life, fast and smooth processor. EMUI takes some getting used to and takes a bit longer to set up, but after that everything just works. No little quirks, no overheating, no random reboots...
I've had it for 3 months now and I still see no reason to root it. Very happy with the phone.
I came from Windows and Lumia 950XL, tried a couple of Android devices before finally sticking with the P9.
It's a great phone and is much more stable and less issues with apps running and permissions etc than I found on other Android devices.
The only problem for me would be there with most devices..there is no dedicated camera button like I had on Windows for last 6 years.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I have tried the demo unit and so far everyrhing seems really nice. My only qualm I guess is the slow support in terms of software development but I could be wrong as well. After all this is a new phone that needs some familiarizing.
Thanks again everyone ? ??

Switch my p30 pro to xiaomi mi10 pro?

Guys i need your advice.
I'm thinking about switching my p30 pro to mi10 pro? What do u think about that?
I heard that huawei is willing to sell it's smart phone business.
Can i get your opinion?
Thanks a lot.
And how does it affect us, Huawei users, that they sell the phone division ??
The phone will continue to work as before ... if you are satisfied, keep it; if not, you change it.

Please there are custom roms out there. Miui crap and emiui crap are same. Pure aosp is love. As far as I can tell when you are on xda you definitely know what is custom rom right! Emiui is riddled with so much crap that phone lags like hell. Compare my honor 5x with android 10 when honor ditched it with android 6 and that too use to lag like hell lol. So never buy a honor device in future or just don't buy any device which can't be unlocked in first place or just buy apple locked s***

You'll lose wireless/reverse charging, OLED screen, DEX like computer mode and a top class camera array so keep your P30 Pro. Really you should only consider the jump if your battery isn't holding out or you're pissed at the lack of updates as the M10T is a downgrade in all but the CPU/GPU.

Huawei never have battery problems compared to Xiaomi as MIUI crap drains battery crazy.

Question Thinkin' about buying the OnePlus 10 Pro

So, long story short, my old OnePlus 6 fell from my pocket and broke, in one unlucky accident. I've decided to "upgrade myself" and go for a more recent model. I'm used to flash custom ROMs and try many of them until I find one that suits my needs and that's pretty stable.
I wanted to buy the OnePlus 10 Pro but it's my understanding that you can "just" root it? I haven't followed the Oppo drama lately so I don't know if it comes from the fact that the phone has been released "recently" or they locked things similarly to Huawei.

There's no lock it has to do with the msm recovery tool. Since oneplus now charges for it to be used developer's don't want to touch newer phones.

Personally the 10 Pro has been really great for me, but I don't ROM hop anymore. I'm satisfied with the feature set of OOS plus basic root stuff. What are the main features in custom ROMs that get you to not use OOS?

I don't know about about OOS13 but I remember LineageOS performing way better than OOS11 in battery and loading times.
Gotcha. Last time I ran LOS was way back in the Android 4-6 period. I have only ever run OOS since the 3T did everything I wanted. I've managed to squeeze out 9 hours SOT on my 10 Pro (mind you, I wasn't gaming or anything like that,just basic web browsing, YouTube and messaging), and everything is very quick for my tastes. YMMV of course
