Mi 8 or mi mix 2s

I haven't decide yet witch to buy.
I don't like the notch but i think mi 8 is better and i can find mi 8 with only 20$ higher price.
I have oneplus 5t now.

Mi 8 just for the AMOLED HDR display. Also to show off to your friends for the 3D face unlock. Or if you're really into the animoji stuff then good for you.
Unless you really hate the notch, mi 8 is the obvious choice. That dual gps things seems very cool if it actually works correctly

I don't actually hate notch because i have never used any phone with it but i think it's like a bitten screen.
Maybe i will use to it.
Mix 2s is far more beautiful but mi 8 is better.
All mi 8 have 3d face unlock and animoji or only the explorer?

Mi 8 and Mi 8 explorer does. but not Mi 8 SE as you said.

Can we buy this version and after when it's released to install the eu rom?
Because now doesn't have global version.
It's possible to buy it now and after just flash the eu rom or i will have a problem?

Yes.
No, you will not have a problem.

The mi8 has IR face unlock and the EE has 3D face unlock.

The Mi8 got mono speaker and cheap mic, the better front camera and the rest is almost the same, feels better in hand but I will buy Mi Mix 2s.

i think mi mix 2s far more beautiful and it no have notch, i hate notch

Well, then I think you are in the wrong forum section.

I ordered mi 8 finally. Ok mi 8 has notch but I think offers more than mix 2s.

A better front camera, broken GPS for now, no dual speaker, no wireless charging, longer and no ceramic. It offers less than Mix 2s and it is about 60€ cheaper, for good reason.

My budget is $550, Huawei mate 10 pro or OnePlus 6/6T?

I can't find any convincing videos on these 2 phones. Someone please sell me on either. I just want a phone to last me for the next 3-4 years.

I'd go with the mate 10 pro. Better camera, build quality, battery, stereo speaker. I already had oneplus devices in the past and I didn't like it as much as I did with Huawei devices.

6T has stockish Android if you're into that and better support past two years. There's also a working gcam mod.
However, the Mate 10 Pro should be cheaper than the 6T barring carrier promotions. I got mine (USA version) for $430, which is over $100 cheaper than the 6T. That alone made it worth it to me to get the Mate 10 Pro.

A few. I made a guide for how to remove it.

I would say, wait for a while and buy Sharp Aquos Zero.

Did I make the right decision? Please say yes lmao

Hey there!
Alright, so, I was deciding between the Asus ROG Phone 2 and the OnePlus 7T. I really wanted to take the Asus ROG2 but the guy selling it thought it was a global edition, but later found out it was a Chinese version so ofc I didn't want to take that. The second alternative was the OnePlus 7T which looks like a solid device, but at the end I just went with the Realme X2 Pro 8gb 128gb edition because of the price difference between them. The Realme X2 Pro is 480 euros here, while the OnePlus 7T is 600+ euros for the 128gb version. How are you satisfied with your X2 Pro? What do you think about my decision?

I had the same problem.
I had to choose between the new xiaomi 10, but the price was much higher than i expected, The Op7t, the realme x2pro.
I was coming froma Op3.
I took the Realme because it has the oppo company behind, and the 12/256 was at 480€ on amazon for the weekend.
It has some software issues, i hope that the next update will change a lot.
Sure the Op7t has more support from modders and everything, but we will have it too.

Well I don’t really care for the custom firmware, I always rock with the stock firmware. Are you overall happy with your choice? What is fine for you and what is bothering you?

Pros
90hz screen is very nice
12/256 for 480€ is awesome
Boot in 8 seconds
Face unlock and fingerprint are very smooth
Camera works great
Very solid and good material
The Charger Is awesome.
The speaker sound Is so loud .
Cons
The Os for now is buggy. I Hope for the android 10 update / fix
Music gestures works sometimes
Interface gestures slows down your phone (i use buttons)
Default app sometimes stop being default apps
If you use swiftkey keyboard. Dont.
Game mode slows down instead of boosting

The phone is great,you are getting so much for your money,the same as the 7T besides oxygen OS and you have saved a good bit of cash too,
A lot of flagships coming in 2020 have 90hz, ufs 3.0 ,dual speakers etc so you are getting a comparable device to most of the new phones give or take a few things,
Software at the moment on Android 9 is the major downside but for me everything works and I'm happy,March will see RealmeUI so that will be a huge boost to the device,
What I enjoy most is the 90hz,50 watt charge is very handy Dual speakers is something I never had and the battery life is good,I get a day out of 15 mins charge. Cameras are good too,best I've had though apparently if you believe what you read the cameras aren't the absolute best.
No real downside for me on this phone. Has all I need. You made a god decision !!!
Relax..And enjoy ?

I use swiftkey since the first year of release.
On this phone, its slow af.
I dont understand why it takes like 8/10 input.
I hate google Keyboard, but it works perfectly..
I thought it was the phone that lags, i switched keyboard and i can type normally now.

Rog 2 or not

Hi everybody, I'm selling my Zenfone 6z to buy a new phone i love the rog phone 2 also if it has not a SD slot (I use SD to keep documents when I change phone). My question is: is it worth to buy a 899 Euro phone with snapdragon 855+ while next April there will be a lot of new snapdragon 865 phones even cheaper (redmi,realme,etc)?
Second question do both USB type c port support otg?
Thanks!

Redmi and Realme isnt the same level as the ROGPHONE 2...
I myself have a Redmi Note 8 Pro just for macro shots. The rest is done on my ROGPHONE 2.

Well, thank you for your answer, my only doubt about redmi and realme, also oppo, is the software. If I'll buy one of them, the redmi k30 pro is interesting, I change the software for sure, I prefer android stock roms.

it's worth it if you buy tencent version and flash international software. you can get it for as low as 450 euros.

As the collegue above said, is so, so worthy if you buy the 430€ tencent version (now it's around 450€ normally). It's an amazing phone for daily use. Just the camera is an 8.5/10 with A10 (better than A9), but with GCam the results are amazing enough. Buy it!! I bought it like some weeks ago

Well, I found the tencent 12/512 at 800 euros, the global at 899 euro, but the tencent has less lte bands and here in Italy is better to get as many as you can... And for 99 Euros less I will get just 3 months warranty instead of normal 2 years...

SD 865 is now the standard.
90 to 120 Hz also becoming standard.
If the heavy weight, lack of 5g, no IR blaster or SD card and average camera aren't a problem for you then this is an excellent all round phone.

Well 5g is not a very big problem, it will take a couple of year to work in entire Italian territory. The IR and SD are options i like, but have you any valid alternative?

I haven't really been looking for alternatives since I got this phone.
A quick search suggested the Poco X2 / Redmi K30.....mid range phone though...

Yes, i discovered also Vivo Nex but I will not get stock Android...So at this point I think I'll go for rog 2 12/512 and I'll use GCam for camera and otg for my SD documents, maybe I can find a small otg adapter and keep it always connected to the phone. Thanks!

Question Xiaomi mi 11 ultra vs oneplus 10 pro. Better overall phone?

I currently have the oneplus 10 pro Chinese variant in emerald green. 12/256. It's a great phone but I find the cameras are very much a letdown.
I was offered to trade straight across for an xiaomi mi 11 ultra that's also 12/256.
I know it's older than the oneplus but people are telling me that it completely blows it out of the water in every possible way and that I should go for the trade.
Do any of these you have experience with this phone? I have read some reviews where some people say that it is the perfect phone and read some others where people say that it's just ok.
Should I go ahead with this trade?
Cheers
