Just a shorty:
Would you consider buying a Zuk2pro (6GB/128GBrom) for about € 450 new or would you recommend buying the ZTE Axion 7 /with only 4GB/64GB + SD slot) for approx. € 420.- ?
ZTE is not available right now for Europe and Zuk is only with english/chin. rom.

Definitely not an OP3. Crap screen, tinny speaker, sub-par battery and only ok camera. The Axon 7 offers more than all of them but the Z2 Pro is more compact, has far better battery and a better point and shoot camera. The battle is Z2 Pro vs Axon 7 and it is a choice between which size do you prefer.

yep, that's my choice.
I'd prefer the Axion 7 the 128/6GB version only US $ 750.- and more is too much.
I have 5.5" Asus Zenfone2 so it's no big deal to get it a little smaller 5.2 or the same 5.5 size.
Just I'd like 6GB ram.... though I sure don't need them (have 1-1.5 GB ram free on my 4GB Asus).
Lenovo versus ZTE where will mods be present and which company gives a few updates before pushing another handy to the market ?

Yeah. for me I prefer also the Z2 Pro and Axon 7 but the development is not so good for Z2 Pro (as of now). :good:
Doesn't the Axon have that ugly black boarder around the screen?

I have the chance to replace my Honor 7 with a Mate S for only a few bucks. Should I?
I'm very happy with my Honor 7. The only difference afaik is the 5.5" AMOLED screen vs Honor's 5.2" IPS.
Does the Mate S have Android 6 in Europe?
i'd personally hold out and get a P9. The Mate S doesn't have a final version of Marshmallow yet.
We're all on beta software who is on mm. Imo if you can get a p9+, sounds like a beast version of mate S in all regards.

I replaced my Honor 7 with a Mate S because i received it for 300€ when it was released.
i´m thinking about using the Honor 7 again and sell the Mate S since the battery got smaller and sometimes drains to fast. I also miss the IR funktions. The only good thing about the Phone is the AMOLED screen but i don´t think it´s worth it.
just keep your Honor 7 and wait a bit longer or buy a P9.

If you can live without the IR funktion and the less durable battery. go for it.
I paid £399 for my mate S aboit 4 months ago and I've been looking at the Honor 7 and wished I had brought that instead at only £224...almost half the price with almost identical specs... Maybe even some extra features..
Stick with the Honor 7...better battery life and higher pixel density plus IR blaster and shortcut button

"Better experience" is a broad and subjective term, there would never be any definitive answer for that. However, you should normally get 'yes' in OP3 forum and 'no' here (some abnormal people say 'yes' here, wonder why they keep reading mi5 forum if they don't like it).
Im deciding too but prefer the size of the Mi5 and the fact its £100 cheaper than the OP3 if you get a 32GB version.
If you already have Mi 5, I don't think it's worth buying OP3 since the hardware is mostly the same.
Things that differentiate OP3 from Mi 5:
- Oxygen OS: If you love stock Android, this is a big plus since Oxygen OS is basically stock Android with some new features. You also get ambient display and gestures while display is off.
- 5.5'' AMOLED Screen: Bigger display (bigger phone size). Better contrast. Saves battery when displaying dark colors. More saturated but you can use SRGB mode.
- Metal unibody: If you prefer metal unibodies, OP3 is a plus. Mi 5 I believe is using glass/ceramic with a metal frame.
- RAM: OP3 comes with 6GB but it's overkill. Mi 5 is perfectly fine with 3/4 GB of RAM. Heck even my gaming PC has "only" 8 GB of RAM.
- Storage: OP3 comes only with 64 GB while Mi 5 has 32/64/128 GB options. Mi 5's 64 GB option is also cheaper than OP3 64 GB.
Camera is basically the same on both phones. They have the same sensor (IMX298), OIS, 16 MP and f/2.0 lenses.
Both have 3000 mAh batteries. OP3 is Li-Ion and Mi 5 is Li-Po.
If you are an audiophile though, I've read that Mi 5 uses Qualcomm's Aqstic (DAC, amp + codec) which is the same setup as HTC 10 and will give you much better sound quality than OP3, since OP3 doesn't have that (I can't find any reference that it has Aqstic) although it's rocking the same SoC (Snapdragon 820).

Mi5 is Best Quality Phone
yes it is worth it. go for 1+3.
If you like larger displays, or oversaturated AMOLEDs, yeah sure the OnePlus 3 will improve your experience. Otherwise you could just unlock and flash your Mi 5.
The difference I reckon would be that unlocking OnePlus phones is a very easy process and do not void any warranties.
yes I think it's worth it. Go for it
I think in my opinion,MI5 have better battery life. If you want more ram,one plus three.

That's what is called having a perspective from all POV.
Xiaomi is notorious in releasing bug-free kernel sources. MIUI was the best in its fifth version (my opinion) and then onward, every iterations has been a crappy ride. And without a proper source code release - the custom ROMs have tough time to work flawlessly. Xiaomi has always been non-cooperative with the Dev community. And have you ever visited Xiaomi forum? I mean... come on!! Whose fertile idea was it to force you to post a "comment" before you can download something (almost all of the time) !!!
OnePlus 3 is a Dev friendly device. Can you give instance of one more company, who releases the source code even before the official release of the device itself?? (Before someone pounds in - yes, I know it was all a part of the large publicity stunts - then again we the users are benefited at the end). I only wish OnePlus 3 came out with a QuadHD IPS-LCD. Personally, I despise Amoled panels.

I'm a diamond member there. That "feature" is poster intention, normal ROM and important tools downloads don't need it. Posters hide download links in their post to gain reputation, to become higher level members as well. It's a system that makes MIUI forum looks active, despite most comments are only "thanks" or "great".
The MI 5 is better than the OP3 only in one aspect : its smaller size. Otherwise, the OP3 is better about :
- sturdiness (remember the iPhone 6 bendgate ? the MI 5 is much worse)
- android development (just compare their xda forums)
- LTE frequencies
Since you are from Croatia, MI 5 does not support LTE band 20 (800MHz), I think that would be the deal breaker.

You see - that was my point precisely! Why would you even 'allow' to encourage the poster(s) to demonstrate a 'reputation-gaining-mechanism' ?!?
And no, that never makes any forum active - all it makes is to create a lot of 'off-the-track' distracting post(s) in the middle of the main discussion thread.
And I am a diamond member too there (with the same name and icon).
Returning back to the main question - OP3 is an unparalleled bargain in the same price segment - grab it with all your might. By the way, I am also keeping an eye on the newly released Mi5S Plus which comes with quite attractive attributes. I doubt what will its price be?
mi5 is lighter, fits well to normal user pockets
oneplus3 is well developed contract to mi5, because xiaomi did not release the kernel source completely.

Guys should i buy mi5 or spend £100 more and get oneplus 3? how much different is the android developing between the two? What I mean is, if oneplus has a score of 10/10 for android developing then what will the mi5 get?
What's the next great big phone coming soon?
After having Sony Ultra Z, Huawei P8 Max, Huawei MediaPad X2 I bought Lenovo Phab 2 Pro and so far it is the best phablet I ever had. Mainly due to it's hi-res display (1440 x 2560), battery 4050mAh, hw keys and an extra toy - Tango Highly recommended!
Nice!

I think NOKIA 8 is going to be the next big smartphone in the Android industry. It has 6 GB RAM, 24MP 2160p Primary CAMERA, 5.7 inches of Screen size and 64/128 GB of ROM.

Sorry but 5.7 inches is not considered a big phone anymore... 6.2 or bigger is what most of us here are looking for.... But... If the Nokia 8 was like 6.4 inches.... That would be one awesome phone!

Yeah, as Nokia 8 has some great specifications. Well, if we talk about the screen size then what comes first in my mind is Oppo R9 Plus it has 6.0 inches of screen size and 1080 x 1920 pixels (~367 ppi pixel density).
I think that iPhone 8 is such a forthcoming phone.

I can get the lg g6 for 400 euro, the oneplus 5 for 462 euro and the nokia 8 for 492 euro.
Which is better value for money ?
Hello,
LG G6 I didn't have it and tested but I can tell you about OnePlus5, I ordered and used for 2 weeks and I sent back because of poor wifi and mobile signal and also I wasn't sadisfy with picture quality.
Nokia is.... Nokia. I'm happy with my choice. Nokia 8 is great, moving faster as OnePlus5 ( 2GB RAM less is almost unvisible), battery keep the same as OnePlus5, signal on mobile and wifi on Nokia is much better.
Personal I suggest you Nokia 8. I don't know why OnePlus 5 is so promoted because is not better than Lenovo, Xiaomi and other pure China company's.

And in Oneplus 5 there's jelly effect on scrolling websites. The reason why I bought Nokia 8 finally when I saw that on a friend's phone.
I pre-ordered Oneplus 5, used it about a week... Got so sick of the famous jelly effect on screen that I sent it back. Bought Nokia 8 instead, I have been pleased!
For those who already bought it, how much SoT are you getting?
Is there a BIG performance difference between SD820 and SD835?
I'm on LG V20 and planning to move.

Hello guys ,
So i was currently thinking of upgrading my oneplus 3
But i couldn't settle on a certain phone , the only 2 phones in my mind would be the oneplus 7 pro and Samsung galaxy s10 plus since both cost the same where i live , let me know what you think guys
I am going to wait for the Pixel 4 and then make a decision..
I would choose the 7 Pro over the S10 Plus for its VFM and screen!
The s10's price is diving so you may be able to pick up a bargain. Depends on your criteria.
Sent from my GM1913 using Tapatalk
Currently using the 3T and will be upgrading to the s10 plus. I'm just waiting for the price of the s10 plus to dip a bit further down. Personally I think the s10 plus is more equipped with features and well rounded.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Ordered the Oneplus 7 pro (Almond colour) 8/256, will arrive tomorrow. Very excited.
But will still keep my OP3 with me for as long as it lives.

The S10 plus is a really great phone but i keep getting pulled away due to the below points
1. Touch wiz and the history of updates
2. Developer community always better on one plus devices
3. The notchless screen on the oneplus 7 pro makes it look much appealing the s10 plus screen .

Congrats , let us know what you think when you receive it
I get your point. Samsung is refining oneui to bring it closer to stock android and is increasing update supports for it's flagships, according to latest reports and that's good enough for me.
Oneplus phones surely has more community support, but nowadays phones with stock roms has got so much better that the idea of installing custom roms is becoming less tempting.
The 7 Pro may look more appealing because of it's all screen design, but I still have some reservations about the pop up camera with regards to how long it will remain functional as a moving part.
I'm not trying to convince you as to why the s10 plus is a better phone then the 7 Pro because both phones are great in their own way, I'm just sharing my personal reason why I'm going to get the s10 plus as my next phone.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Personally I'm keeping my op3 as long as it's working and not struggling with doing anything. However of it were to die tomorrow I'd be looking at he op7 pro, the Xiaomi black shark 2, or the oppo Reno 10x zoom
Take a look at Xiaomi Mi 9
Zenfone 6 since it will officially receive lineage os. I don't like the size of the phone and just 18W charging but it has the greatest battery life.
If the s10e becomes cheaper and receives lineage os, I'll gladly opt for it.

You have the budget for the S10, so I don't see why you can't buy the Pixel
Right now in India, the smaller pixel 3 is priced lower than the s10. I don't know how much it is in your country.
Pretty sure the smaller pixel 4 variant will be around the same price range.
I sure as hell won't buy a device with a notch and no headphone jack. I am at minority here but those are my requirements for now.
Redmi K20 Pro and Zenfone 6Z are top contenders for my money (I don't want to go back to IPS LCD but might have to). OnePlus phones are naturally out because they decided to "follow trend" and removed headphone jack. OP3 is working fine for my usage and i don't need the best camera, an average camera will do for me so no appeal of Pixel 4 to me at all. So for now, yeah, not many options, K20 pro is choice 1, zenfone 6z being 2nd.
I'm thinking about OP6 as it's the last OP with headphone Jack and notification LED. I know the notch isn't great but for me, small notch + OLED > LCD.
OP7, not the pro version because I definitely do not want a phone with moving parts. No Samsung, I have nothing with the brand...
But as others said before, will keep using my OP3T as long as possible. Fast, two days of battery life, great camera and straight forward; still did not find a good reason for making a switch. ..
I'd buy an iPhone, currently using oneplus 3, lasted for 2years. Still snappy with good battery backup.
