Hi dear all
I am your friend from Lenovo p2 forums I was having p2 phone bit unfortunately it was stolen and I have to buy a new phone Inow samsung a6+ and nokia 7 plus is Avilable at my region with approximately similar price but I am really biased to nokia 7 plus is it really a good phone what about battery life and screen what about Android one is it good enough or have any bugs is there any advise to follow on purchase
Thanks in advance for your help
I'm owning Nokia 7 plus for more than a month now.
So, I didn't expect this phone to lag in multitasking, but it does. My Xiaomi Mi A1 did not lag at all in such simple tasks. That's a major letdown for me. It's not a huge problem, but it's a fact. Maybe future updates will improve that.
Another most important thing for me, the camera. It's not bad, it's even good. It just lacks the dynamic range of flagship phones.
Considering all that I think I wouldn't buy Nokia 7 plus again and go for OP6 or HTC U11 (it costs like 25 euro more than N7P here in Poland).
Still if u want Android One then probably Nokia is your best bet.

Spot on "complaints". Other than that it's an excellent phone. However where I live the OP6 is €200 more so the Nokia is excellent for the price.

Pay extra for the OnePlus 6 if you can.I had the Nokia 7 plus and returned it.The op6 is worth the extra few quid.€400 for n7+ in europe €520 for op6,
The Nokia certainly has some bugs,check out the Nokia forums
dears nokia7 plus is the best mid ranger more than 2 months searching and i reach to a verdict that all mid rangers has problems whether lags or software problems for example a6+ has very lagy face recognition and lagy software even ones that have no software problem is made of very bad materials that is not durable
.
i know op6 or op5 is good but they are not mid rangers they are flagships for me i can't accept phone without sd card
.
i hope that in the next few days all software problems will be solved
I don't really experience these multitask issues some people seem to have. Multitasking is swift and fluent, apps are being kept in memory, ... Really no complaints at all.
As for my general impression: I came from a Lenovo P2 of which the screen broke, and while I waited on another screen to arrive I bought a Galaxy A5 2017. Sold the P2 when it was fixed, but got unhappy with the A5 (disappointing battery life, overall smoothness & speed of the UI) and bought the Nokia 7 Plus. I really couldn't be happier. Battery life is not what it was with the P2, but close enough for me to be fully satisfied and not make me want to return to my P2 anymore.
Other than that... It feels very snappy and fast overall, decent enough camera (much better than the P2), screen is absolutely fine and Android One is a big plus for me (clean Android is how I like it, even more so after my short trip to Samsung). If you come from the P2 I can only see you being absolutely satisfied.
Hey all! I am going to sign a new contract with my carrier and I consider to buy a new phone. I am currently using the Huawei P9. The Phone is still good but i think it will hold up good one more year maximum and then it most likely become pretty bad but I can sign a new contract with carrier only once every 2 years so now its my chance to get a new phone at kind of a good price. So I am wondering between the Nokia 7 Plus and the Honor 10. I need a bigger screen and I want it to be good cuz i consume a lot of media (youtube, movies) on the phone and I also text a lot. The camera has never been a priority for me but after I got the P9 I make more shots than before just cuz the camera is super nice and the Leica branded filters really makes the pictures look great. I dont know how is the Nokia 7 Plus camera. From the reviews I understand that it is not bad but for sure Honors camera is better. I like Honor 10 design more even that reviewers says that the Nokia looks a lot better on person but I am 100% sure that the build quality of the Nokia is far superior than Honors. I really like that the Nokia is AndroidOne device but still official support is kinda the same as others (2 years with 3 years security patches) but it will got them faster for sure. Battery life is mistery for me for both phones. I dont like the notch on Honor 10, I dont hate it, but definitely dont like it too. Overall from the reviews on YouTube that I have watched I prefer Nokia displey - its bigger, no notch and I think it have a little bit better colors. So my question is what will you guys reccomend to me ? I want to ask peoples that are using the phone now. I want to ask also how is the software experience and is pure android really better than the skins. Also want to ask is there any glitches and bugs that are more common among users cuz in some of the reviews they say the software was not perfect for sure but it was very early software and after the number of updates that you received how is the software experience and bugs and glitches ? Nokia 7 Plus is also e bit cheaper than Honor 10. Tell me also what was a good surprise and what was not using the phone for the period. I hope you can give me some opinions on the dilemma and which phone worth the price. Sorry for my bad English and Thanks in advance!
Hey, i was on the same boat last week. p9 lite and went to a nokia 7 plus very nice phone don't go for a huawei phone their updates are limited.. while nokia provides you 2 years of update and 3 years of security updates.

Yes, that is one of the main reasons I consider the Nokia. But I have a P9 which was a flagship 2 years ago and now I can only afford a premium mid-range phone since Huawei phones gone up in price too. The Honor on the other hand has the flagship Kirin 970 CPU but has a skin which I am not sure I like. So the question is Honor 10 for the design, specs and cameras or Nokia 7 Plus for the software experience, display and build quality ?

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.
Wait for the Pixel 4

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.
I'm on a OnePlus 5T (128gb) and support runs out for this phone in the next months.
Is there anyone who switched from 5T to the Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro and can give an advice? Any suggestions?
Size is close, specs are close. 9T has better camera and bigger battery. Also it's possible to get it with 256GB/8GB ram.

From 5T to 9T it's definitely worth it

I switched from the OP6 to the Mi 9T Pro and i'm really happy with the decision. There are two points to consider, though:
- the 9T Pro is considerably thicker
- oxygenOS is much better/faster/flexible/cleaner than MiUI.
Gesendet von meinem Mi 9T Pro mit Tapatalk
Yup it's definitely worth it. And pick the 8GB 128/256GB if it's available your region.
Also installing a custom rom will not lose its warranty. I find it amazing! If you don't like MIUI you can just install a custom rom right away

I don't think it's worth it. I came from a Galaxy Note 5 2015 and there's a lot of downsides compared to it. The screen on the k20 Pro is very thin and feels like a downgrade. The pixels are less sharp and you can see the dots quite easily. Battery life is okay, 1-2 days with heavy usage. It's quite a weighty phone, hard to hold in one hand. The miui 10 rom lacks a lot of nice features miui 11 has, but currently miui 11 for it is really buggy. (Occasionally reboots, youtube background playback glitches, camera app often stops working).
I think you'll want to go for a bigger screen with higher hz if you want to really upgrade.
I'm also on OP 5T, planning to switch to the 9T as soon as the LineageOS 17 ROM is in good shape.
At first it will feel like a downgrade, I own an OP3 previously. I'd still pick my OP3 over my K20 pro if the OP3 didn't have ridiculous bezels.

If both are running the same ROM, how can it possibly feel like a downgrade if the hardware is superior in every possible way?
From my experience, better camera and battery life, but I miss Oxygen...
The upgrade is not too much...

There will never be a "BOTH" running OOS bug-free, it will never be the same experience. Spec-wise definitely an upgrade over my OP3, but OOS is what made me say it's a so-so experience. You'll never understand what I'm saying if you've never used your device with OOS extensively for more than 3 years.
Don't let anyone fool you with an essay, if it's between OP5T and 9T Pro there's no match lol, one is 2 years old with old chip while the other runs a 2019 flagships processor.

I understand what you are SAYING, but I will never understand how you are FEELING or why, because I will never use any OS other than LineageOS, and I have 4 devices, 2 phones and 2 tablets, the experience is pretty much the same on the software side.
I switched from 5T to mi9 t pro when it came out. Mi9t pro is obviuosly much faster with better battery life than 5T and better for gaming becuse of the chip etc but in terms of custom roms it is still pretty lacking in comparison to the 5T custom roms which work perfectly but that might have to do with the age of the 5T which has had developers working on it for a long time now. Hope it helps.

I came from a oneplus 6 to k20 pro. And I am still regretting the decision to switch. I would still happily go back to my oneplus 6 any day. And the sole reason being the software.
Oneplus software is way better than MIUI. I unlocked the bootloader and installed pixel experience. Which was fine in relative terms. Unlocking the bootloader created a few problems like breaking Google pay (India) and other UPI payment apps.
There were errors like google camera not functioning properly. The fingerprint sensor straight up sucks on most of the custom roms. Roms have somehow broken the proximity sensor for me during calls. and there are similar issues for almost everyone.
I would humbly suggest you stick with something stock. Or if you can live with MIUI then it's whole another set of arguments to be made. But considering you've used oxygen OS for around 2 years, it's likely you won't like MIUI at all.
ciao!
If you are into gaming and especially emulators then its a no brainer. When using Dolphin my 5T struggled to maintain 60fps whereas 9T has no problems whatsoever.
P.s MiUi is not as bad as some people here make it sound like, give it a try you might like it
Thank you all for your opinions!
I ordered a 9T Pro 8GB/256GB today and will see if it fits. If not, it's always possible to sell it for a good price or maybe even send it back.
I see that people have different opinions on it, that comes from their different habits.
The specs are great and i think the phone can compete with flagships - with this price definitely (buy two of these or one from OnePlus?! ). Software is a thing that can be changed by custom roms and i think i will try MIUI, Lineage, PE and the Oxygen GSI on it and see what's best for me.

Hello guys,
My question is, is it worth to change my Mi 8 with Mi note 10? Camera performance is what interesting me, not overall performance. I'm not a gamer....
Hello. I jad also Mi8. Now i bought the Mi10 (I know its not the Mi Noten10) and i give it the Mi8 to my girlfriend. After 10 days im not so happy with my Mi10. Ok, fast, beautiful screen,relatively good camera. But, its big(Mi8 was greatin my hand),and heavy. I would like to go backnto my Mi8, but my girlfriend dont want to give me back ?. Thats my personal opinion. But,its mist be your personal decision.

I considered getting it myself. But after researching the phone it less less bands than the mi8 and mi9, ( not including the 5 G bands of course)
In regard to the camera, watch this complet video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFtdc8Fj1Wg and you will see that the Note 10 actually competes fairly well against the Mi10. personally, i have decided to stick with the Mi8 for a while until i have a better idea of What I would want to upgrade to. I am also considering the OnePlus 7T or OnePlus 8.
if you are interested i made a spreadsheet with the differences between phones and radio bands.
As an owner of both devices, all i can say is stick to mi8.
Here are few reasons why:
1) in-hand feel and size.
Note 10 is just to hefty and thick. Mi8 is much more enjoyable to handle.
2) Curved screen - so unpleasant to use, so easy to brake.
3) Very slow fingerprint reader.
4) SD730 is not flagship level
5) Camera has great IQ but photo processing and camera handling is slow and nonresponsive.
Of course, there are some benefits of mi note 10, better battery and more versatile camera setup, but for me mi8 is still better option with a smaller size, ir face unlock, classic fingerprint and more powerful cpu.

I have both phones and can tell you: Stay with your Mi 8. Even if the camera is way better in Mi Note 10 it has many bugs. And you can really feel the Snapdragon 730G. Image processing is slow, apps aren't loading as fast....
Go with Mi 10. I think it gives you everything.
