If you can wait, maybe this week the price of the nexus 5x will drop somewhere.
I think VR needs something above 1080p that Huawei currently does not have.
I think now Honor 7 hit the sweet spot at around 240~250€. All due to the new Honor 8.
Honor 7 is still a very capable device with expandable storage. It runs everything smoothly, except some games (not a gamer´s SOC, like any other Kirin SOC), excellent battery (until B190 ROM) and a dazzling camera when RAW enabled, just to name a few points. Also for those who don't like Emui, can install Nova Launcher.
Above this I would consider the Honor 8, OnePlus3 or ZTE Axon7.

VR is not good at 1080p, reviewers say that you can see pixels when using VR on fullHD devices

If camera is your priority then Honor. If Gyro is your priority, then Don't come to Honor 5X.
And if you can wait further, You can try Honor 6X.
Mostly it also won't have Gyro. But can use the Dual Camera setup.
Tested VR with my 5X. I can only see straight. Hahaha. :laugh:

honor 5x is cheaper, and has micro sd card, but when it comes to development, nexus 5x is a clear shot,
but considering the price, honor 5x is a good deal
I have my own preference but i want to go beyond my preference, so which do you think is better?
Both are great, but I will go with the 5x since it has better custom ROM support

redmi note 3 has better specs but 5x has a good development base and many custom roms
Redmi note 3 is good in Specs. But Honor 5X is durable than Note 3.
In terms of after sales support Honor outcomes Redmi. So I would prefer Honor 5X.
definitely Honor 5X. good after sales support, better custom ROMs and an evolving community with regular updates and support.

Yes, I wouldn't buy a phone if it doesn't have community support, no matter how good it is
Also Honor 5X outwits Redmi note 3 in terms of camera quality and Dual SIM compatibility.
So Honor 5X is good.
i feel that honor 5x's build quality is a bit more premium,
redmi note 3 has a better development and custom rom support thnan honor 5x, (even got cm14)
so its based on your priority.. if you want better custom rom, deffinitely go for redmi note 3

Development is the area where Honor lags behind other brands.
I respect Honor-5x, its premium build quality. Now we have got so many roms for the device. A dedicated forum for Honor-5x in XDA and on CLUB.HIHONOR.COM is itself an achievement.
But for Note-3, Performance of Stock Rom MIUI as compared to Stock EMUI is uncomparable. Redmi Note-3 is a beast. Note-3 has a dedicated forum on MIUI site and as well as on XDA. So Support of Note-3 is undoubtedly good. Moreover Nougat series Custom Roms for Note-3 are out.
everything is good with honor 5x , except the development is COMPARITIVELY LESS, which is not a problem though
but with honor , we are guarenteed for the os updates, where mi makes no such promisses, though mi provides weekly updates,they are just security patches and bug fixes, even though they provide an os update, it will be very late..

I think the order of Nougat will be Honor 8, then 7 and then 5X. 5C after that.
Development is just a matter of time and the number of developers. Redmi Note 3 has more developers that's why they are ahead.

Hey there,
I pre-ordered the Mate 10pro which will arrive in about two weeks here in Germany. Now there are some leaks of the Honor V10 which will be presented on December 5th and will be available probably early in 2018.
The specs seem to be very similar, especially the AI enhanced processor - so my question is:
What is the big difference, what will I lose when I take the V10 instead?
might as well wait a few more weeks. Imagine finding out after you bought a M10P only to find out something just as impressive at a third of the price. only 4 weeks to go.

With the bezeless 18:9 ratio and front fp, the v10 has caught my curiosity as well what they have to offer. Also on the lookout if there will be a Honor Magic, 2nd edition.
That said, no honor phones were on the Mate 9 pro level last year or even standard Mate 9. So i expect the same to be the case here as well. No reason to be disappointed unless your buying the Mate 10 pro with a heavy sigh over its price. Honor phones tick the main boxes like ram and same processor, but tend to cut corners were it is less of a highlight like for example getting a lesser quality display, lesser premium build although a catchy design, weaker audio or loudspeaker, no earphones included and so on. Honor 8 pro currently sold at 475£, so a 64gb V10 should be about 500£.
You also have to wait more for it (time = money) and by the time it releases outside China we get Huawei P11 series ready for launch. And then 2 months after that you get the Honor 10 launched, and so on. Its a never ending game. The timing looks like its launched to compete the Oneplus 5T, so not far fetched to expect the Honor V10 to launch in a particular market close to the OnePlus5T launch.
The main difference will likely be cameras.
If Honor v10 camera dont have OIS, go for mate 10. Other specs will probably the same with mate 10 with usually Honor design a bit better. Better wait for it, maybe can save a lot of money.

That's not essentially true. The Honor V9 was on a par with the Mate 9 Pro, except for the camera. The V9 was better than the Mate 9 having higher resolution screen. The UK version - the Honor 8 Pro was the same, just only came with 64GB internal space.
I must admit I was annoyed after buying my Mate 10 only to see the Honor V10 announced with largely the same specs, but much lower cost!

Honor 8 pro released 4 months after Mate 9 and had the older generation dual 12mp Lecia camera with that iphonish design.
And the other aspect was that, at least in the middle east market the difference between Honor and Huawei was not that large as was the case in China. Out here, it was a difference of 50$ at best. Weirdly the Honor 9 is even costlier than the Huawei P10 and priced as much as Mate 9, see: https://store.hihonor.com/ae/index.php/honor/smartphones).
Whatever the case with V10 whether it makes the Mate 10 series obsolete/overpriced or not, we will know soon.

The same as the V9? That was only 3 months behind it. So in essence, a cheaper Honor phone follows with largely the same specs and about 2/3 the price.
Don't get me wrong - I selected the Mate Pro 9 over the V9 - but if you can't afford the top line Huawei phones, then just wait. In this case, the V10 is not far behind and way better than the Mate 10 Lite.

This part no doubt i agree, if people have real issue with price of Mate 10 series or any other Huawei phones, than you can wait for the Honor phones as that is exactly what the Honor brand addresses with their line of phones.

I've been using P9, Honor 9 and Mate 10,
All i can say is that, this Leica name tag on Mate and P series is not for nothing,
Although Honor camera is no slouch either, but in terms of image processing, P and Mate series are clear winner,
Not to mention that Honor series normally remove OIS from its cam to save price.

Yes, already mentioned.
V10 teaser is about AI
https://weibo.com/2554757470/FuVjQ6deS?refer_flag=1001030103_&type=comment
But i suspect, most of the AI functions would be like the case of Honor Magic that it functions only in China.
It'd have the Kirin 970 chipset eitherway
Thank you all guys for the interesting discussion! I guess I will check out the M10P first. I ordered it via Amazon so I can return it for 30 days.
What are your impressions concerning community support for Honor vs. Huawei here on XDA (custom ROMs, mods, root etc.)?
On other thought is that afaik Honor phones often have a much higher Sar value.
Grrr. The presentation in London was just about the 7x, not the V10 a.k.a. the Honor 9 pro.
This will likely be presented on January 7th...

Différences are :
- LCD Screen for honor 10
- Camera in low brightness
- Phone material
Are mate 10 pro and ni pro will get face unlock? Like v10
Huawei Mate 10
V10 this time is totally different from both Mate 10 series. Only similarity is the Kirin 970 chipset. Otherwise its specs is such that it is different from both Mate 10 and Mate 10 pro. IPS FHD+ 18:9 screen with front fp, older design language, slimmer with smaller battery, different camera specs for front and rear camera, headphone jack and memory expansion slot.
I want to sell my note 8 to buy mate 10 because I like old screen ratio 16:9, will I feel that I downgrade?

Seriously not at all. My friend hads the Note 8. He said if he didn't have the Note 8 he would get the Mate 10. I said to him if I didn't have the Mate 10, I would get the Note 8. In my opinion these are the best 2 flagships of 2017 so they are on par with one another. The performance is the same. The mate 10 has a high premium feel about it. You will love it. For me it's the perfect phone. After all these years. Yes there are some software glitches. Which phone doesn't have software glitches. Luckily they can be fixed with updates. Dxomark ranks Mate 10 camera as a 97 and Note 8 camera as a 94 so both are great cameras. No downgrades anywhere other than no stylus.
Hi I already ordered the Honor 8x but only later I realized that you cant put LineageOS on it.
I can still stop the order but what would be alternatives with good value for a cheap price (especially camera+dual sim).
Would the Poco f1 be the next best choice?

Well if you are from India your best options will be
Redmi note 5 pro
Asus Zenfone max pro m1 6gb
Or you can give this a try
Moto power one
Xiaomi mi A2 lite good bang for buck and good development going on, I'm selling my 8x no bootloader no development screw honor [emoji16]

Thank you guys for the suggestions. I'm located in Europe so the Redmi 5 Pro is sadly not an option.
The Xiaomi mi A2 Lite looks quite good, I'll have a closer look on that. Maybe the camera is a bit to weak for me.

I hope a lot of people don't buy it because of that. Like many others I contacted their support with no luck.
It's pretty unfortunate as the phone would be nice.
