After the issues with Huawei breaking and killing my warranty (also my p9 lite), i wanted to buy Oneplus 5T. However , i've seen this Mate 10 pro with decent specs and good features and it was 50$ more than Oneplus 5T.
I only want a phone for battery camera and software. Should i risk my money (and sanity with the warranty) for this device or should i stick with Oneplus 5T?

If you are in the states don't buy the c567 model go for the international one. IS models are not receiving updates as frequently as European model

The ROMS for the Mate 10 pro aren't perfect. If you want to run AOSP or something closer to it like near stock android, the one plus 5T is the stable option. If you are okay with the EMUI then the Mate 10 pro has better hardware IMO. If you like to tinker with less than perfect ROMS, then I'd go with the Mate 10 Pro but I'm sure the one plus 5T has more ROM development.
That's my two cents.

Huawei killed bootloader unlock. I can go for oneplus5T but it has 64 gb while.mate 10 pro has 125gb. Again skeptical for Huawei because i don't want to get headaches in the long run about the warranty.

If you're lucky you get a device on low enough firmware to downgrade and use DC/HCU to get unlock code. If not you will have to pay $30 or $55 depending on what site you chose.
I would rather get the OnePlus if you want root/custom roms.
What warranty issues did you have with p9?

Unlock. Downgrade is free IF possible. For example:
On BLA-L29C432B142 you can use DC. On B145 it doesn't work but can be downgraded using service firmware. B146 or higher can not be downgraded past B146. Build is not the same on every cust, so if you are on C636 the build where DC works is different. But generally it's May patch firmware.
Paid expensive unlock is done by FH and ministryofsolutions. If you have rebranded using FH before you can not use their service (FH Rebrand changes your imei in fastboot).

My phone has 3 issues with EMUI 5 updates (when it launched for the first time). I made a post about it on my account. I just want a long run phone. Do you think this is worth the money or 5T is better?
Well? Should i waste my time with Huawei again or move on with Oneplus/ google pixel 1?
Actually the Mate 10 pro is an excellent device.. But considering the possibilities of an one plus 5 or 6, I'd not go with Huawei anymore.
Same. Mate 10 pro has so many great features but it is not a long run device. I can see myself changing it in 2 years after Huawei will kill my phone like their attempt with my P9 lite. Oneplus 5T is a great deal for me but the camera is not as impressive like on Mate 10 pro and only has 64gb. The fast charging is pretty neat on 5T, but the long lasting battery on Mate 10 pro is very nice for me too.
Idk which to pick. I can go for 5T for the long run (which may keep me more than 4 years due to development), but we will see what will happen during christmas. Either way, i have the google pixel pinned on my shopping list. If Oneplus 5T 128gb gets cheaper, then i will go for 5T.
Also Mate 10 pro doesn't have the bootloader unlocked, thus the phone aging from outdated software.
Ok so looks like Oneplus isn't trustable anymore. I've seen many posts about security issues and that pushed me away from the company.
Ok Huawei, you won... Buying mate 10 pro

Oh that's an interesting take on the situation, I was going to recommend the mate 10 pro anyway but for different reasons.
I came from an OP3, battery life of the mate 10 pro is a different league, software, bar a few foibles, is ok. Although there's still issues with android auto compatibility and as has been mentioned custom ROM scene is impacted by lack of bootloader unlock. With hindsight I'm still happy I made the right choice, hopefully when I'm due an upgrade other OEMs will have decided to fit usable batteries.

I could had gone for oneplus 5T but i don't want to go change my rom just when i purchase it. Huawei killed my nerves with the warranty. So you got your mate 10 pro too?
I had the Essential PH-1 and the Mate 10 Pro. I sold the Essential PH-1 even though it already had full Pie on it. The screen of the Mate 10 Pro is a beauty and it's fast and snappy at anything I throw at it. However, as others have said, if you want to get to Pie quicker or you like to tinker with your phone and use a ROM, you are pretty much out of luck. If you are OK with the latest security updates on Oreo and the thought that you "maybe" getting Pie then it's an excellent phone. If I had the chance to buy the Mate Pro again I would go for the International version even without warranty. I do want the face-unlock and other features that the US version hasn't received and might not receive.
It's a tough decision. I might look at the latest One Plus 6 or the Mate 20 when it comes online. But the price difference is too large and I want a great phone now - so I am quite happy with the Mate 10 Pro.

The only phone i can buy is the international.
Again. Oneplus 5T is a great phone but the software has terrible security and privacy (by the looks of it.)
Mate 10 has solid and flagship features but support is as bad as the long term software updates.
Again, i can go for Oneplus 5T but i don't want huge headaches changing roms. Besides, Google implemented whatever "limitation" that will not make your phone trustable unless yadda yadda.
Google pixel was a good phone but it's a 2016 device and the pixel experience will pretty much be gone.
The only options are oneplus 5T and Mate 10 pro. Oneplus 5T with good specs and software but bad privacy. Again, i can buy it but i don't want to change the software just when it was fresh bought.
Mate 10 pro has many features and great design. Also the pc mode is very very cool and it does not need a dock. Also has always on display, which Oneplus 5T has only by rooting it (unless Oneplus implements it). But, as we know, Huawei has terrible software support and warranty as well (warranty being my case).
In my opinion, i think Mate 10 pro is a better value for the simple fact that has water resistance, pixel-like camera, 4k battery and other hidden features, but i have to send my cousin to buy it so HUAWEI won't add anything sketchy in it :laugh::laugh::laugh:.
Oneplus 5T is a mate 10 pro in a cheaper form. Great specs, great build, great battery and great charging. But the software raises your anxiety with these "privacy and security" issues. A custom ROM solves the issue (as i said earlier).
I want to hear your opinions about these 2 devices. I want to buy a phone for the long run. This is my opinion. Sorry that the post feels weird, but i am always skeptical of buying new phones, especially "flagships"

I really am surprised at the security concerns with OOS, I'm still active on the OnePlus community forums and haven't seen any recent security scares, the android patches are September and everything else seems OK.
The big advantage that led me to choose the Huawei is the battery. OnePlus are still fitting 3400mah batteries ,which too my mind are too small, clever software tweaks can compensate, but those same tweaks can make the mate 10 pro even better.

Actually about the security and privacy of Oneplus's OOS is the fact that it can collect all your activity through an app that gets all your logs and sends them to Oneplus. Again, skeptical with both the devices. I am sorry for my "temper" between these 2 devices, but , again, i am concern about my purchase as i want a phone to last me more than 3 years (at least)

I think most modern phones will last more than 3 years on the hardware side, judging by the support I've received so far for the Mate 10 pro, I'm skeptical that software support will last 2 years let alone 3. OnePlus are much more supportive of the development community so custom support is much better.
A word of caution though, both devices are 2017 devices a full two years official support will take them to 2019 you are after support for 3 years, from now that takes you to 2021, that is well outside the official support window of even the best devices.

Hello.. pixel in my country costs 1200$+- !!
While - HTC 10, G5, S7 and 3t are 550$+-
Now I don't think I want S7 because no USB-C and because I had the 3t I switched all my chargers to USB-C
The G5 brand is LG and they have many problems in all their phones (Bootlops and battery become bad after year of use and such) so I don't think I want it either...
The 3t has almost no insurance in my country because it's not a "known" company so support will be difficult to get.. (same goes for xiaomi and such)
And HTC.................... The "10" is all I'm left with and I'm really not sure if I want it... But it's all I consider now.. what do you think??
I want a
9+/10 camera
8+/10 battery
7.5+/10 display
7+/10 performance
And 6+/10 build quality
What phone do you think will suit me the most?
HTC Ultra??? I'm sorry you got a defective device man! That's what happened to me with the ZTE AXON 7 I returned it and blamed the company. Shouldn't do that
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
Id just say stick with the 3t. The latest 4.1 update is nice, everything is faster and better feeling. Run with FreedomOS. Nice simple debloater installer. No real reason not to use a OnePlus device in 2017. Its so affordable and good it just feels like a nice phone that will last a long while.
If you are yearning for an expensive phone then go for the Huawei Mate 9. Its got machine learning built in so it will achieve all your points once it figures you out.
If you really need a new phone instead of the 3t, I would recommend the Honor 8, sure the Honor 8 isn't as great as the 3t, but in many places you can find it even cheaper than the 3t and it's almost as fast as the 3t!
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.

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.

The pixel devices are always highly priced
I'm looking for a mate 20 pro, I'm waiting for huawei/trump fight to end (I don't want to buy a phone that is not going to have android Q).
Also I'm a little bit annoyed to not be able to unlock bootloader.
But mate 20 pro is what I want, great camera and battery

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.
Hi guys,
So this phone seems amazing for the price and specs, but obviously, it doesn't run android.
Now my question is, I currently have a S7 Edge running the custom ROM (superman rom) and I've done a few custom ROMs so think I'd be confident if there was a guide to also do this to the K20 pro to make it the perfect phone.
My question is:
1. Do they make a guide to flash stock android or some form of android on this phone?
2. does the phone work in the UK on Vodaphone network?
3. is there another phone I should be looking at? the Oneplus 6t doesn't seem much of an upgrade for the money from the S7 Edge I've had for the last 3 years :\
thanks!

It is Android, just not as you know it.
At the moment the phone hasn't been released globally, so there's very little custom ROM development yet. It'll be released in India next week, but globally in a could of months, maybe. So it'll be a while yet before there's some progress with other ROMs. GSI ROMs work OK for the most part, and Phhuson's AOSP GSI will, obviously give you the purest Android. Though there are still a few issues with them, which for some, myself included, can be lived with, whilst others they will be deal breakers. There are guides for flashing ROMs on this phone. Have a look in the K20 Pro threads here.
The phone will work OK, for the most part in the UK. It lacks band 20. So EE will give the best coverage and O2 the worst. It 'should' be OK on Vodafone and Three with maybe the occasional patch that still relies on band 20 for compete coverage. EE would give you compete coverage and O2 probably wouldn't work outside of major towns and cities.
There's the OnePlus 7 and 7 Pro, though the Pro does have a large jump in price. Close to stock Android out of the box and OnePlus devices have the biggest custom ROM scene.
There's the Mi 9, which has a global version and some movement starting to happen on the custom ROMs.
Or there's the Asus ZenFone 6, which comes with a fairly stock android out of the box. Asus have tentatively reached out to the developer community and provided a small number of xda devs with a free phone, so there should be more development than you'd normally see on an Asus phone.

Yes. Any flagship phone with a QHD display will be marketed as a premium flagship and come with a premium price, look at the prices of the S10, the OP 7 Pro and the new Xperia phones. If you want a cheaper phone with QHD, then it will be a mid range SoC.
already have S8 Plus, running it as FHD+ to save the battery and can't feel or see the difference
I guess FHD+ is enough and battery friendly

If I were you right now with a 3 year old phone like you have there would be only one choice and that's the OnePlus 7 pro.definetly worth the few hundred extra for what your getting. Oxygen OS is hands down best software with Best QHD display you can get,if you dont mind full HD go with the normal 7 at a good price.
The redmi k20 pro will work fine but annoying Chinese software,maybe wait till September/October for a Mi 9T pro or November for a OnePlus 7T with possible standard version with a design similar to the k20.
Look at Xiaomi.eu rom for k20 pro if your going with that. It takes away all the bloat of the Chinese version with weekly updates based on Chinese official
What would you choose if they were both the same price? The OnePlus 7T has so many good new features and Oxygen OS

having had 2 phones with oxygen os on it, i dont know what all the fuss is about. Samsung phones arent without fault, but i feel that their faults get addressed far quicker than any other mfg not including apple. I like having the phone that sticks out from the crowd too, so i see that draw, but the S10 just seems that it will be better supported and have an overall better end user experience

Water resistant, Wireless/Reverse Charging and better cameras.
To be honest I am not a fan of Oxygen OS, I find to be an outdated polished mess. There are so many devices out there now that are much less than both of them I don't really find either of the devices worth the price. I have a Samsung S10+ now, this is my first Samsung again in years and I think it will be my last.
oneplus,
CPU
exynos power consumption is not as good as snapdragon, but all snapdragon versions are locked in USA and you cannot unlock bootloader.
BOOTLOADER
So you have to pay *00 $ for a phone and still you MUST WATCH ADS and dont forget that all preinstalled bloatware and spyware software are also running in a background .
Honestly this is the destiny the only idiot will choose.
OS
This is Samsung... i have an iphone 6 as my second mobile phone, 5 years in a row it receives SW updates instantly, when it became available.
Samsung S8 has been released 2 years ago and it will not get Android Q at all.
The first beta version of the Android 9 has been released in March 2018. S8 got the first beta version in Feb 2019 ONE YEAR LATER !!!! The same will happen with s10 eventually.
QUALITY
Just try to recall: Batteries which explode , faulty screens, insecure fingerprint scanners.

Actually yes. I returned my op 7t last week.
This device flies. It's the smoothest device on the marked, bjt software is very buggy and the majority of panels suffer of green/pink tint issue. This unevenness is especially visible with lowest brightness on. I also didn't find camera decent. It's mediocre, worse than the one on my old p20 pro.
So little context. I usually hand my old phone down to my son. He currently has my old 7T while I have the 9 Pro. Is the 10 Pro worth it for me to upgrade to? Everything I read it seems to be much of the same as the 9 Pro with a better battery/cpu/gpu.
I did the $1 pre-order but on the fence if I should follow through when the actual purchase window goes live. Thanks for any input guys!
Hardware aside Android 11 isn't a pretty picture and 12 is a horror story.
If you're running on 9 or 10, stay there. 11 has issues but not near as bad as 12.
Scoped storage is a cpu cycle sucking fubar.
I have 2 Note 10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10. 9 is more functional. 10 I can work with but that's as high as these will ever go. Security is simply not an issue.
Android and its 3rd party developers will take at least 2 years to recover/fully implement Google's Apple like poor choices. In the meantime the users will suffer.
If your device/OS version is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be.
You lose nothing by waiting including your hard earned money... plus no time wasted on a forced learning curve.
I'm also on the 9 Pro and decided not to do the preorder. I'd rather wait a few extra weeks and see how it goes, but I'm most likely going to end up upgrading. I'm mainly waiting to see some reviews of the Global version, evidence of real-world battery life, and whether any of the developers I followed on 7/8 series are upgrading to 10 (most skipped 9).
Yes, OOS12 has its issues - I like A12 more or less, just not how OOS botched it - but I'm slightly hopeful about OOS13, and that's going to hit 10 Pro first when it comes out. I'm not switching manufacturers anytime soon because others make it hard to root (looking at you, Samsung), and I like having current flagship hardware for gaming and such, so the only thing to do is press forward.
Have my 9 Pro for 2 days now.
Just contacted network to exchange 9 Pro to 10 Pro as I'm still in cooling off period so my 10 Pro will be with me 5th April - that was said by network advisor.
Can't wait as I always loved OnePlus phones.
I also have iPhone 13 Pro Max as my daily phone.
Yes, it's worth the upgrade coz I bought it ;-)
I upgraded to the Global 10 Pro and anticipate a fun ride on XDA!

I got my OnePlus 10 Pro (EU/Europe) today, feels like a good phone so far.
USB-A instead of USB-C in charging brick - what happened OnePlus?
Get mine today only because yesterday I couldn't be at home when courier wants to deliver.
Nice phone so far. During the weekend will see if is worth to keep it.
I decided against it. My OP9P is the 12gb/256gb model, and the downgrade to 8gb/128gb isn't worth the other perks for me. Maybe they'll offer the other model at some point? If not I guess I'll wait and see how the Ultra does later this year.

Thanks for the reply, I've ordered it and will be getting it in 2 days.
I'm using both the 9 Pro and 10 Pro.
Pretty much the same except 10 Pro lose out on the macro mode which is very handy on the 9 Pro especially since it auto switch to macro when you want to take something closer.
If anyone else is considering...... I'll tell you to hold on to your 9 Pro until something better than 10 Pro is launched.
Well it's what you want ain't it of you want to upgrade why not but the camera on OnePlus 9 pro om oos 11 is way better then the rest of them but still the OnePlus 10 pro makes nice pictures
In reality, no, it's not worth it

Yes there is no macro available in the OP10 Pro but I don't care about it because I don't use it much!
