Nexus 6? How about the last Nexus (finale) in 2015?

Dear All,
The Nexus 6 is coming but the hardware will not be that different from the Nexus 5. It will still be quad core with a 1080p display, 2-3 gigs of ram, and gesture functions. As rumoured, if the 2015 is the last Nexus, what will Google come out with for its grand finale. The octa core would most likely show itself, but what special feature(s) will Google come out with that would WOW us? Lets realistically think about what will appear in 2014-2015 that could actually make it into moblie phones. I'll start it off with what we know...the Smartwatch, Google Glass and the final Nexus phone to have special features that communicate with each other to make our communication with the world even more simpler and allow us to see and do more with our devices. Your turn. :victory:

This thread is not about N6 but the speculated last Nexus.
Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it. Check back in a year!

This thread would be far too speculative and would have nothing to do with the Nexus 5 anyway.

How long till a Custom ROM comes out for the Mi 8?

Hi, have been wanting to get the Mi 8 for a while as I prefer it over the Oneplus 6, but I was wondering when would a custom ROM actually come out for this phone? Or any idea on some sort of time span? As I'm not keen on using the MIUI and would rather have like the Pixel Experience or something stock instead with the spec and the camera of the Mi 8.

I think active development is starting after Android P is released.
Android P does have notch compatibly so the os will function normally.
Anyway, give it some time this device is a few weeks old mostly development starts after some months.
BTW I moved from a Oneplus 6 to a Xiaomi Mi 8!

Whats your opinion of them both?

The haptic feedback on the Mi 8 is massively better, and I like the camera on the Mi 8 more and the size.
I had a few ago a note 4 got much fun of it, and I went away from Xiaomi because the lcd quality was horrible.
So since the Mi 8 has a amoled Samsung panel it was a insta buy for me.

well i think mi8 is a nice phone
but wont give up my op6 for it

Waiting till kernel sources will be out for dipper ... thats the only thing that is left to start building

The handset does not appear to have been launched in its Global variant yet. I think this is part of the slow development.

8GB RAM model is different Hardware version\ID??

quick to the point:
is the 8gb ram version of the mi9 going to have more problems running custom recovery\kernel\roms that are made for the 6gb version?
I did read something about this in one thread here on xda about a week ago but I cant remember exactly what it was and I cannot find that thread\question anymore.
I am now suddenly interested in this cus I now have the possibility to actually buy such a 8gb\128gb version. It says ''global version''
I would be thankful to hear from some 8gb users or people who are experienced in this. (for example: people who flashed 6gb roms on 8 gb Oneplus devices )..

With OnePlus devices it works flawless. I think it will be the same with mi 9.

I have just went from the S8+ to the X2 Pro and I was surprised how much the X2 Pro is advanced if you compare to it to the S8+ .... loading times, installing apps, GPS catch, network, wifi retention, don't want to talk about the autonomy or the screen on time.... it's just another world. You can switch to the X2 Pro without hesitation. :good:

Thanks mate. So decision is simply. Time to upgrade.

I also would say go for it , this phone is really great. i have the chinese version and i love it (just takes some extra adb commands and patience to work well in the usa). if you can get the global id say grab it and enjoy !!!

I'm in the same situation, I am currently using a Sony XZ Premium. Also, can any users confirm that it supports Netflix

Oneplus One X Realme X2 Pro?
Hello guys, I have a Oneplus One and I have been very happy with it during these 5 years, mostly because of the support it has at software level (many custom ROMs are available for it), but now it is old and it gives me some performance errors. So that I want to upgrade my phone and I have seen this Realme X2 pro pretty interesting, however I am hesitating if this phone will have as much support as Oneplus brand, because I want it to last a lot and I think this is only got thanks to the community.
Do you think this phone will have a big community behind? I would like to flash it with an AOSP custom ROM sometime.

Not happy with this phone. I want to learn how to make it better than it is.

Welcome to XDA
Sure in here you will find ways to improve your device!

May I ask why ?
I am totally happy with my mediatek redmi note 9

In part it may be on me not using it properly. You say your model is "Mediatek", is this the same as my phone? I'm also having difficulty rooting my phone, It would seem you have to get past MIUI, so there is that. Yes, a bit lost at the moment

Note 9 pro uses snapdragon 720G. Note 9 uses mediatek.
I'm very happy happy with my my note 9 pro. And for the moment I don't see the need of change rom. The other day it updated to miui 12, based on android 11, and goes well.

Oh good to know re: snapdragon and mediatek. That's terrific you guys are liking your appliances right out of the box. I'd love to hear from others who are not so pleased and what they've done. I keep wanting to pull down from the top to see my controls and of course they don't show up. Is this me or is it MIUI ergonomics? Thank you for your responses. I'll see what I can do to change things.

What is the problem with rooting?

oh hi 171, are you asking me? Or just putting this out there? Nothing is wrong with rooting IMO, although I find it as difficult as collecting hens teeth, because there is so much information and it's hard to keep it straight, and it varies sometimes between builds, and between phones.
