The Mi 8 is superior to the Honor 10 in every single way

If this is not a joke, than Mi8

Having p9 right now, after switching from mi4 I would say Huawei software support is pretty sucks. I would pick mi8 imo

I've had the Honor 10 directly after release for one week.
The display is just bad, the fingerprint scanner is laggy, the selfie cam is too shiny and had bad contrasts, some apps are only Snapdragon optimized so they are laggier then on my Snapdragon 820 based ZUK Z2 Pro.
After one week i've send it back to amazon and now i'm waiting for the Explorer Edition.

Have Honor 8 now. Think I may grab one of these as my next phone.

I have Huawei p20 pro, but using mi 8 for daily basis, its better than p20 pro in everything except the camera.

In my opinion Honor 10 has way more better Camera application. Switching camera modes in MIUI is very slow - have to swipe by one item.
And Honor 10 is smaller and that's a pro for me.
But globally Mi8 is a rocket and I'm happy with that phone.

Wanted to better understand Honor 9 Lite before purchase.

Hello Everybody
I have LG G6 currently but i am still looking to jumpship to Honor 9 Lite for Huawei's great software support and 9 Lite price.
LG is hardly supporting G6 these days and i am still waiting for the Oreo update, but i hope i can get it within few weeks.
I started this thread to better understand Honor 9 Lite before plunging in it.
How many major Android updates it can get ?
Does EMUI 8.0 offers all Oreo features ?
Doesn't have face unlock and protected notifications ?
I cannot understand why Huawei even released the Honor 9 Lite...
Go and buy the Honor 7X which is equivalent to the 9 Lite only in ways even better. Bigger screen and larger battery for the same price.
Why would anyone even consider buying the Honor 9 Lite over the 7X??

Well I paid for my Honor 7X €216 inclusive of delivery, making it just €16 more. :laugh:
For a larger screen and bigger battery I think that's more bang for your buck.
Seriously, they are both almost identical and the release of the new Honor 9 is a waste...

because it's smaller and cheaper? I don't understand why would anyone buy 7X over 9, in Europe difference between them it's like 20-30EUR, only benefit of 7X it's nicer design with smaller bezels
4GB version has got and NFC which defers it from 7X.
Well... I got 3GB/32GB version ( LLD-AL10).
I do own an Huawei 9 lite so Honor 9 lite was a Birthday present which I bought for myself.
Compares to H9lite it has got a bigger screen in almost the same body, Apptwin and VoLTE.
The main reason to buy was an astonishing blue/mirror design. Phone looks great.
Until You touch it ... mirror-glass back is 'collecting' fingerprints better than New York police.

The Honor 9 Lite ships with Oreo, it has NFC to support digital payments, it has quad lens cameras, 2 in front and back and supports USB on the go. I can't tell from any of the phone spec sites whether it supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi.
up Only 2.4 GHz

These are my exact reasons for buying the 9 Lite, 4 things that the 7X really should have for the extra price. I was at the launch for the 7X and hands on the 9 Lite isn't that much different.

Mi A2 vs Mate 10 Lite

Hello. My brother is searching for a new phone,and asked me to post this here. Mi A2 and Mate 10 lite are the same price here. Which one is better for everyday use,speed,screen and camera,and best bang for the buck.
Xiaomi Mi A2 all the way. Better rear cameras, better front camera, better software and support, better SoC, USB Type ... I can not see any of Mate 10 lite advantages except bit larger battery, but it depends of software and soc if is any better and 3.5mm jack.
I used to have the mate 10 lite, it's great overall but for the same price Xiaomi is way better (regardless of the ****ty customer support)
I love every aspect of xiaomi mi a2,and was going to buy it but i heard about the goodix fingerprint issue. Do you know if it still exists,and how many phones have this sensor. Im from Bosnia and i dont know whether it will be fixed soon.
Go for Mi A2, this is not even a comparable, mate 10 lite could be compared to Mi A2 lite.
Are there any other probems with this phone besides the fingerprint issue?

Mi8 vs p20 Pro

Custom rom development is lacking on p20 Pro camera is obviously one drawback any other reason not to go with mi 8 I want to flash pixel experience as soon as I get the phone I'm getting it on three UK as a upgrade to my honor 8 any input would be much appreciated!
Anyone?
You wont be getting any luck with the P20 costum roms since Huawei somehow made the BL impossible to unlock. Camerawise the P20 pro is better in comparision to the Mi8 already excelent camera. The rest is pretty much the same. If costum roms is your priority then between the P20 or Mi8 I'd go for the Mi8.
Also the price. The Mi8 is much cheaper than the P20 Pro.

Mi 9 or P30 [non-Pro]

Hi all, I can take the P30 [non-Pro] for the same price as Mi 9, and I am not sure which one to take. If you were me, which one would you take and why? I would love to hear you opinions.
Mi 9 > P30
P30 Pro > Mi 9
But price tag is huge mark there, I would go for Mi 9. It'll definitely have better Custom ROM support too
yhh Mi9 considering it will have more ROM support and its better than the non-pro P30
I know benchmarks aren't everything, but the MI9 beats all Huawei phones including the P30 Pro.
Secondly, Huawei no longer offer a bootloader unlocking service whereas Xiaomi release the full source code for their ROM on day 1. This is evidenced in the amount of activity on XDA for the Huawei, which is very little.
If you take a look at the Huawei forum, you'll see that they say nice things about issues, but nothing ever happens. I waited 4 months and gave up. Now my P20 Pro is on eBay.
And lastly, on the funny side, here's a video on Huawei support

Snapdragon 855 > Kirin 980 performance wise but you won't notice much difference in real world. If you're not interested in bootloader unlock/Rooting and stuff and just want a phone then P30 Pro is better. But i personally am not spending on expensive flagships anymore with phones like K20 pro or Realme X2 Pro in market. Personal opinion

P30 pro definitely has a better camera although I don't own one. But if you're just a normal user who doesn't often use camera then K20's camera is more than good enough.

Huawei no longer issues bootloader unlock codes, so if you ever want to flash a custom rom or modify anything else you won't be able to (except for some paid services which kinds defeats the purpose). That's the reason I sold my View 10 and switched to Mi 9T Pro - and I have zero regrets :victory:

I didn't have the P30 so I don't know - but battery on the Mi 9T Pro is definitely better than on the View 10. Battery is hard to say, I don't take that many pictures

These two phones are not comparable to me, as they are very different phones. P30 pro is a flagship device by a premium maker with a focus on phototaking, hence Pxx. It uses Hiaweis own chip etc. Mi 9T Pro is a flagship but for a value focused brand and it is an all rounder.
You can unlock K20 pro.
You can't unlock P30 pro.
Both send your data to CCP.
Both have very very slow updates (Official).
You can unlock K20 Pro.
Also the Huawei P30 Pro is almost twice the price of the MI 9T Pro (128gb), in France at least.
Even the 3rd party code sellers have stopped issuing unlock code.

I've been playing call of duty with all graphics settings on Mac and get no overheating, in the 3 months I've had this phone I've never felt it over heating, I've watched 4k videos for 1 hour and got no overheating aswell

The only time mine gets hot is when I'm trying to access the internet in a poor signal area, but then that's been true for every phone I've had.
