hey people i have searched over the net i found the two phones best in range of 20 k INR !!
But which screen is better Of OB and SGS ?
On gsmarena it was shown that LG OB has far better than SGS !!!
?? Help me out to buy better phone !!
The screen on OB have real and full colors...and more visible on sunlight.SGS have more vivid and contrast colors..but the are artificial.So the choice is yuors.If u want real pictures get OB.
Hi OB users, I have been very tempted to buy this phone but I have a few questions that hopefully you can help me answer and decide whether or not it is a good decision to go ahead and buy it.
1.-I've heard battery life sucks, is this true? will it improve significantly if GB is ever released by LG (or maybe ICS will be the immediate update instead)?
2.-LG announced ICS will be released for OB, but I have also seen that LG has let down users many times with upgrades (e.g. GB), so do you still trust LG for keeping your HW up to date in terms of SW?
3.-If you could chose, would you chose again the OB or you would pass?
4.-Have you found HW limitations that have a direct impact over Android performance(amount of RAM, being only single core where the trend is to go dual or even quad)?
5.-Any last thoughts you could give me about your experience with this phone
Thanks in advance to everyone who took the time of reading my post, hopefully you can help me make the best decision.
Answers :
1 - battery life is normal, as any other 4" 1500mah phone, no better,no worse.
2 - Yes i trust about the release, but not the release "date".
3 - For single core, i will choose OB, my next pass is Galaxy Note at moment D), may be different when i actually changing from OB to any other device; but will wait for 3-4 months, OB meets all my need so far.
4 - 1080p video gives jerks, but 720p video runs very smoothly on OB. Haven't experienced much h/w limitations so far. [ i mean look at market, mobiles like Galaxy Y, Ace; Optimus One/Net; Defy etc occupy more than 70% of android phones, so a single core 1ghz 512mb RAM is not bad at all.. ]
5 - Display brightness and colour contrast is by far the best in whole era of smartphones, except LG PRADA 3 releasing this christmas.
It is a good option, as you may know is not the best out there, but it is a good one.
Everyone knows that smartphones are hungryphones, so it's almost the same issue to all devices. I do moderate use of it [2~3 hours calling, 2~3 hours music/gaming, about 1hour of wifi] daily and charge it every 2 days, so it's fine for me.
At the moment there is no single game that I tested and fail. Asphalt HD 6, PES 12, Fieldunners HD, GunBros [and playing online], Minigore, World of Goo, AngryBirds [all of them] and so on...
Display is a higher pro, 12pm at summer and sunniest day of the year still clearly see that display.
I'm not and android knower or anything, but in my opinion the only thing bad is SW updates or should I say no updates at all, but hey we have cm7 in good shape now and getting better
1. For me I find that the battery life of my OB can be quite erratic. Meaning sometimes it could last for 2days without charging, and sometimes the battery will just be depleted overnight (which is quite scary if you're using it as an alarm)
^Without me installing any new apps.
2. They promised, so they would have to get ICS out by hook or by crook or it will be very very bad publicity.
3&4. This I'm not too sure about myself. What I look for in a phone is it being slim and light, and a good camera. The OB is one of the thinnest phones at an affordable price. Maybe I would have gotten the Galaxy S2 or Droid Razr. So far I haven't seen it lag in heavy games like NOVA.
5. The screen is very good, colour accuracy is better than those AMOLED displays every other phone is using imo. the whites on the screen are realllllly white.
1.) Battery life definitely does not suck, it will last for 24 hours with Wi-Fi on, 3G off, 3-4 audio calls, 2 hour gaming, 3-4-5 browsing, Facebook, Messenger, Foursquare, Latitude open non stop, 30min-1h of navigation, 2-3 hours of music on the headphones, screen light on optimized (based on the light sensor ).
I know that some people wish that their Android's battery will last a week or so, but it's not 2001 anymore and these phones are not the 3310s anymore, so, IMHO, 24 hours is great, considering everything you're doing with it in that interval.
2.) Now that I've finally rooted it, I really don;t care. Yes, LG has been really delayed with the GB update, and that could possibly mean that it will delay the ICS release a lot, but that's what we have XDA for, right ?
3.) I would definitely choose the OB again. In my humble opinion it is the best price/performance ratio out there. Big screen, powerful single-core processor, enough ram to handle almost anything you throw @ it, the PowerVR GPU is a great video chipset, third best after MALI and Tegra on the market right now, all in all it's a great phone, and yes, there's always going to be a newer, better phone released, but for its price, the OB does it all.
4.)I kind of already answered that, I'll fill in additional details: There are almost no lags within the UI, the default LG Launcher is sometimes a bit laggy for half a second or so, but its just the launcher, not the phone. After replacing it with Launcher Pro for example, it performs beautifully. My Core i5 Desktop PC doesn't cycle through Windows that smooth :O The 720p playback is brilliant, no lag or other problems at all.
5.) Any last thoughts ? My personal conclusion after owning it and a SGSII for over 2 months now is this: it does 85-90% of what the SGSII does at almost half the price. Definitely a bargain !
Wish you luck with your new phone, regardless of what that will be.
Yes and no
It's like a good car with a bad driver on it... (Hardware and software) I suggest you to find a good car with a good driver Xpreia Neo V can be a good alternative...
if you want high end stuff I suggest you to wait panasonic's come back nearly april (will be presented at CES 2012)
there is also the "free thinking festival" about the OB
Thanks to everyone who read my post and dedicated some time to answer back. OB seems like a really good phone to me now, so hopefully, within the first 2 months of 2012 I might put my hands in one of those (or even sooner if I find it at a good price). Thanks again guys, you are much better than the people on the Acer tab A500 forum that I frequently check. Looking forward for more opinions
in a nutshell, if u want a brilliant 4 inch of screen estate, decent CPU nd a capable GPU,a sleek sexy and awesome looker, vivid camera and the best FRONT FACING cam,a great gesture controllable UI, go for op. Black. The software is no prob.
I had a tok wid MIUI and they confirmed immediate support for the device.also, the official GB will be available by jan latest.
If u want to hear glitches of this phone, am sorry to disappoint you....root nd delete the LG BLOATWRE,u wl hv 1day with heavy use.
I was watching this review on youtube and the guy mentions 2 issues:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BbO5TI7Fg
1.-The phone overheats and becomes unbearable to hold
2.-Signal strenght decreases while holding it (similar to iPhone 4)
Could you guys share your experience in these 2 areas? I am thinking this guy might have received a faulty unit, but I just want to confirm. Thanks again guys.

The phone may overheat when you use it while it is charging or if you're playing heavy games. My OB haven't heated up to a point thats unbearable to hold. Usually the camera area heats up. I believe that all slim phones heat up just like my friend's S2.
When it comes to signal, it's almost at par with nokia phones. With my Giorgio Armani phone, I can't even send sms inside my room, but with my OB, I can recieve and send sms anytime.
Had no such problems until now. Only heated once, but I was heavily multi-tasking atm, cooled down 2-3 minutes later. Regarding the signal, I had trouble with my old Sony Ericsson w960i and with my newer BB 8520 Curve inside this house, but the signal, even on 3G, on the OB is pure brilliancy !
Tips:
for browser use opera mobile for smooth hardware accelerated browsing.
for launcher use launcherpro. Its the smoothest launcher out there.
With all the above and CM7 the effect is my P970 is more responsive than my iphone4. Definitely worth the buy. Other good option with much tempting price is samsung galaxy W.
In my opinion its the BEST VFM out there...i m very satisfied with it!
3.-i would pass.
4.-hw is somewhat limited. gpu is weakest in competition. but games' generally working ok.
5.- sound quailty sucks. buy yourself a mp3 player with ob.
HW-wise the phone is unusable as a car navgiation. The GPS is incredibely inaccurate (50-100m difference is not a problem).
I never experienced overheating (yes, if you push it it's warm but not too much)
SW-wise the original firmware is quite buggy - there are problems with contacts associations, it happened that my phone stopped recieving SMS. There is no stable alternative, nor there is GB upgrade.
If I was considering buying the phone again, I would go for Nexus S, which costs nearly the same money, has larger community support, there is official ICS port and I can actually use it in my car.
hello guys.
I am thinking of getting a oneplus 3T this week.
but i want to know if it worths ? :angel:
i have a 64 GB / xiaomi mi 5 now.so i have a little doubt.but i really want to get rid of it:silly:
i want pure android ( not skinned like miui ) and a better battery life than mi 5.it will be my first amoled screen experience.
what do you think.
P.S : here in my place : galaxy s7 / oneplus 3t / moto z play / HTC 10 / LG G5 are same price.do you suggest me to get anything else ?
thank you.:laugh:
If u want pure android experience then oneplus 3t is the best option imo. anyway, if i were you, i would wait for next oneplus, even if price gonna be higher.
I just got the 3t yesterday and I have to say that this phone just flies through everything. The battery life and the fluidity of the phone is just way better than my S7 edge.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
i have a 6p, and i just ordered the 3t , looking forward to this !
Look at it this way, if you don't like it you can return it within 15 days.
Hello,
I got the one plus 3T for about 2 months. All I can say about this phone is that its fabulous, from the design to performance. No kind of lag, freezes, crashes. The battery is amazing, as well the dash charge which goes from 10% - 100% in 1 H. The metal design and color are also impressive. These 440 euros are the best spent money on a phone ever. The display is also awesome, the difference between S7 edge screen and OP 3T being unnoticeable ( I also have an S7 edge at work and compared them for a long time ). I work in an office the entire day and having the fingerprint in the front is the best thing for me since I can unlock my phone everytime I want without picking it up. The thing that impressed me most is the gestures customization : double tap to wake / double tap to sleep, glance screen, wave hand over the phone to wake up screen when the phone is on the desk, double tap fingerprint button to lock screen ( not sure if I could live without them now on other phone, since I`m a stock kind of guy and dont like to root phones and stuff)
Also, these are my downsides:
- if you like and take a lot of photos in low light, then I suggest you to go for the S7, or better go for moto Z and buy yourself the camera MOD.
- in low temperatures, if your hands are warm, they will sweat on the phone, metal being very cold. Also, the phone is very slippery
Overall my experience is perfect since the phone meets all my needs . The downsides mentioned above are very small for me which I can live with. I`ve seen a lot of people complaining about bugs and stuff, but hey, its their fault because they update it the minute the update comes out and dont wait for people to test it. Also, after each update, you`ll have to recovery clear cache and maybe factory reset if the things go south after the update.
Hope this helps you to pick the phone that fits you
thank you guys.i got one.
and i have to say it's awesome. !!
better screen , sound qaulity , design ..
Just picked up this devices yesterday and I'm loving it. It's so smooth compared to LG G3 what I used until yesterday.

Trust me, @ 440 euros ( or 480 the 128 Gb one ) is the best phone you can buy in 2017 and you`ll love it till the end
They already started launching P10 ( starting from 650 euros ), HTC U ultra ( ~ 700 euro ) and so on. I believe S8 is going to start from 700 euros.
You wont regret buying it.
Enjoy
My opinion is for such price is still a good deal. Watched MWC and I am kind of disappointed with the XZ (Premium is nice, but I expect it to cost around 850 Euros). The G6 looks promising, but the IMX 258 sensors are not much of an upgrade for me (shooting mostly in RAW). The S8 can be a beast if all rumors are true, but again the price is going to be way more than 439/480.
I gave my S7 to my girlfriend and the only thing I miss is the f/1.7, 1.4 um for low light - on the 3T I have to tinker around with the settings to get a good low light shot. However, when there is enough light I really love the more details thanks to higher MP count.
Hello I'm still on my G6 and planning to upgrade soon. (OLED and camera improvements, hopefully battery)
I'm now having my eye on the Huawei P30 and LG V40, can't decide. Size doesn't really matter, does someone have experience with both phones? I like to keep the 3,5mm, however I'm using a Bluetooth a lot last few months.
They both are around 350 euro's now, recommendations?
Yes, but 350€ is too much imho, you can almost get 2019 phones for that money. Battery life isn't stellar but better than reviews suggest.

What phones would you suggest? The galaxy S10 is still around 500, I love OnePlus for the tweakability but no extendable storage and 3.5 mm. And the pro edition is huge (6,7 inch)

v40 is a good phone and with Android 10 out for it (att ) the ATT phone is best for the Euro Market, just make sure its unlocked. You can then keep it stock and get the update to android 10 if its not already, or just flash it over to the unlocked firmware when it comes out.
350 euro is about double what you should be paying for it.
Teh battery life is good but not the best out there, i still mage on average a full day wuth 4.5 hours at 70% brightness, no gaming, just browsing and youtube.

Thanks! But ATT is for the US market right? I'm from the Netherlands, so I don't think the risk and shipping cost will make it worth it to import. The 350 euro version is with 128 GB in built storage, but on my G6 I also still get around 4-5 hours SOT?

Just the EU model. Its much easier to unlock as it has official bootloader unlocking
You could also have a look at the Mi9T pro for 350 euros or so.
DON'T buy the US model if you're not planning to use it in US, unless its the last choice or is much cheaper
@tech_infinity Unfortunately the Mi9T Pro EU version goes till 128 GB storage. I need more, so the 256 GB one but that one isn't sold in Europe unfortunately ?

Oh I thought it had SD card support, that's why I suggested it. Seems like it doesn't have sd card support
How much does the Samsung s10 or note 9 cost there?

S10 is €570, note 9 is €600
But then I don't gain on audio right? Only camera maybe a little bit. For 250 euros more I think the V40 camera with gcam would be good enough. Or then the Huawei P30?
In the US the phones are way less expensive I think, better deals. Western Europe is just expensive phones
I just sold my Galaxy Note 10 (which I bought after V30) and now using V40. Very pleased overall.
Cameras on newest Samsung flagships are just TRAGIC given the money You spend on them and wouldn't recommend buying any of them.

To be honest, not much. I just always felt bad with how inconsistent that camera was. In good light conditions it could produce a beauty of a picture just to screw things up in another. Lowlight photos were better than on V40, but required a LOT of steady hand - so you can achieve the same effect on LG using pro mode and setting the time of capturing for few seconds. Also I felt that it was always trying to process a photo to make it look better, which sometimes gave just bad results - oversaturated (especially on front camera) and with strange artefacts. You could say the main disappointment came from the fact how much money I've spent on Samsung and results of its camera. The battery was ok, but given the screen is only 1080p that was expected.
Keep in mind that bigger Note10+ has TOF sensor and possibly could manage photos better. But given how there are many problems with S20 cameras (especially on the Ultra model) it could just be that Samsung cameras are going downhill.

And how is battery performance for you on the V40? (SOT?)
I'll try to test it for You because I have a rather strict policy in keeping the battery charged more than 50% so cannot really say SOT specifics. But it is about the same as it was on Samsung and V30.
Ok so, after that post I unplugged charger at 94%, now at 10%. SOT 4h17min, 8h46min total usage. Facebook, Twitter, 9gag, camera (few photos and videos), some web browsing (chrome). Wifi, BT, GPS, data on all the time.
So I'd say it should reach about 5h SOT of moderate use from 100 to 0.

Okay thanks! That's about the same as on my G6 (still on fulmics android 7). Nowadays with Corona I'm on my phone much more and I have to recharge in the evening. Maybe Huawei P30, but I can't read anywhere about the audio quality through 3.5 mm jack, and whether it is tweakable.
I'm considering the V40 got the audio and price, but battery is a bit disappointing
TBH I was heavily thinking about P30, but lack of wireless charging made it a no-go for me. Also, those expensive nanoSD cards.

I don't care much for wireless charging, what I'm more worried about is sound quality. I listen to music a lot, but I don't know if the audio quality (3.5mm) is anywhere near the quad DAC from LG..
And yeah, but maybe those cards are cheaper via AliExpress

Hi guys.
I have small problem with my Mi 11 Ultra's battery
Usually I charge it to about 85% , then I use it until the battery level becomes about 15%
It gives me 5 hours and half of SOT with 60 frames !! Which is awful for me, I just suffer facebook , Instagram , TikTok and Clash Royal
So I am wondering , How many hours do you get in your Mi 11 Ultra ??
Any advice for me to do ?
My ROM is Global.

Superb hardware and performance then u want battery can hold longer?
They already have Superb fast charging so nobody care about battery now
If u want phone with extra super long battery time, take something like function Nokia phone from 2000, u can live with 1 week without charging

2nd, the manufacter cant do anything now. People want flagship hardware, flagship performance, beauty and style design, but want battery last longer is almost impossible. So they try to make the charger as fast as possible. 30-45 mins for 5-6 hours of heavy use is balance solution
It's just crap for sure. I came from a K20 Pro Premium. 855+, 12gb ram, 512gb. Better battery life. The 888 is a trashy power hungry chip that serves as a heater. Honestly, if it wasn't for the stellar camera in the 11U, I'll be pissed off.
i get something like 8-9h sot with 60 hz no aod and full hd+

I briefly switched to an iPhone last year for 3-4 months after being an Android person my whole life. I had heard the experienced greatly improved on iPhone and you could not do things like change default apps and such so I thought id give it a try. The experience was terrible, and you cannot change default app for texting which was the biggest thing, but it had a hundred other minor annoyances as well. Anyway, the biggest thing I noticed was that I was coming from a OnePlus 9 Pro which had abysmal battery life, and was one of my reasons for switching. I always heard iPhone battery was actually pretty good and better on average than flagship Android phones. Well the iPhone 12 Pro battery was better than the OnePlus 9 Pro, but not by much. I actually thought it was pretty bad when I had been expecting good battery from what everyone had been telling me. But after switching back to Android and going with a Mi 11 Ultra, the 11 Ultra actually has better batter than my iPhone did. Probably 15-20% better battery life really. I heard the Mi Mix 4 was even better than the 11 Ultra in this regard even with a smaller capacity. So I am hopeful for newer flagships like the 12 Ultra when it comes out, but even the 11 Ultra is already better than what an iPhone gets.
Battery life has never been good on this phone. I used to have 5 to 6h of SOT at max but since MIUI 13 update it is even worse. I barely reach 5h now and battery drains really fast. This with the update policy of xiaomi who takes months to release ROMs and doesn't include all Chinese ROMs improvements and functionalities makes me go back to samsung or oppo... Really disappointing. The Mi 11 ultra is my second xiaomi phone but i think it will be the last
I don't know why for you is like this but with some tricks I get easily 7 to 8 SoT
And what arz those tricks?
There is a thread I opened few months ago, have a look with the search function
few tricks might help.
always set the screen refresh rate to 90hz thru "setedit" app
brightness set to 75%, lower the better
turn off sync, Bluetooth and NFC if not needed
always use wifi for data and enable airplane mode if your sure no calls or text needed (there are social apps that might be used anyways to contact you)
set wallpaper to black, set icons to white only, no fancy color
turn off AOD
if you capture pictures or video for a long time, use airplane mode
if this tricks are a bummer, then this is the payment for having a flagship phone
indeed SD 888 is a device oven
