Hello everyone,
I need a pro advice so this is the perfect forum to ask...
I just don't know which tablet to buy , The aging but still rocking Nexus 10 or the new and shiny Nexus 9.
My only turn-off about the Nexus 9 is the screen. I just don't like the 4:3 aspect ratio because my main use is media consumption and if it was a 16:10 like the Nexus 10 there was no question at all. Also , The screen is a bit smaller than the Nexus 10 which is another thing to consider.
What is your opinion?
Is the nexus 10 still a good buy , Is it gonna serve me well for the next 2 year or so?
Is the newer cpu on the Nexus 9 gonna be considerably faster for everyday use?
Is the nexus 10's screen much bigger than the 8.9 inch of the Nexus 9?
Is the Nexus 9's 64-bit cpu worth buying regardless of the things I mentioned?
It's either 9 or 10. I won't do less than a nexus!
Thanks In Advance...
I had a nexus 10 for a few days and the screen is gorgeous. Can't say anything about the nexus 9, but I find I prefer the 4:3 on a tablet. I'll be replacing my iPad 3rd gen with the nexus 9. The only thing that would concern me with the 10 is its age.
I can't imagine the nexus 10 being anywhere close to the performance of the nexus 9. A lot happens in two years. That being said, I don't have hands on experience with either, but I have preordered a nexus 9.
Nexus 9 performance will be a MASSIVE improvement over the Nexus 10. In both CPU and GPU. It is horribly outdated already because the SoC cannot do high CPU and high GPU at the same time, one side throttles badly which means very low gaming performance. In addition, that version of the Exynos processor consumes a huge amount of power, making battery life not that great. You can fix a lot of it's shortcomings with custom ROM and kernel, but in the end it is still nowhere close to the Nexus 9 in any way.
You need to future proof your self full stop! I would most definitely buy the nexus 9. This will last you well !
Thanks for all the replies...
But my main turn-off about the Nexus 9 is the screen itself.
I primarily use a tablet for movies , youtube and all that kinda stuff so I'm not sure if the 4:3 aspect ratio is going to satisfy me.
What's more is that the screen is 1.2 inch smaller than the Nexus 10 and I already got used to a 10.1 inch tablet (I own the Asus MeMo smart 10.1 with is garbage in performance...)
What's your thoughts about that?

You can get a refurbished Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 inch really cheap! also comes with a years warranty! But just has performance issues sometimes laggy and GPU is not much kop, but all the main reasons you mention above, I personally think this would suit you better.
Well , after a deep thought I eventually pre-ordered the Nexus 9 (Tomorrow is launch day isn't it?)
I hope I won't be disappointed from the display's aspect ratio and size.
Other than that I'm sure that it's a beast of a tablet!!!
Should I buy a nexus or shield. The main purpose of me buying one is for web browsing and YouTube. Another thing I'm looking for is long battery life so how long does the nexus 9 last ( screen on time web browsing).
Are the speakers any good?
Is the display good?
I want to share my opinion pros/cons after use this device for a week. I would frankly say what is good, what is bad.
The unit i have is Xiaomi mi note 2 128gb/6gb non-global version.
cons:
color shift on curve edges, it look abit blue by eye ( when screen is display light tone - white ). This not effect with dark tone color ( It look normal from flat to edges curve )
camera it come with older build compare to mi5s which announce 2 months before mi note 2. Mi note 2 come with imx318 which release since Feb 2016 compere to mi5s come with imx378 which release on Sep 2016. Look at that gap for possible improvement make me feel abit disappoint. ( but it also has a pros from sacrifice **see in Pros**)
It doesn't come with 3D touch (T_T)
LTE bands for non-global version. Why they remove FDD B8. but mi5s have 5 bands include B8
Benchmark Performance for 128/6gb model abit disappoint. It only get around 110k-125k on antutu, 1800SC 3900MC on Geekbench. Compare to other phone with this spec even mi note 64/4gb got higher. You also can see from this link: https://www.kimovil.com/en/best-smartphones-moviles/best-smartphones-antutu-benchmark
( I think this must be a software issue, with this spec it can improve with better ROM and Kernel. Still waiting for it )
Announce on the same day with Mi mix. Which pull down the hype on mi flagship (mi note2). Cause less developer taking eyes on mi note 2 over Mi mix by comparing on both forum.
Price per performance compare to mi5s.
Pros:
Battery 4070 mAh. DAMN!!! this make no wonder using this phone through a day. Daily use, message, phone call, browse, social, take photo, Bluetooth streaming, gaming, watch youtube still get spare juice before go to bed. No need to carry power bank around.
Feeling so good on hand. Its thin with that battery size. The dual curve edge feel premium. Whole Metal build + gorilla glass.
Spec sheet. even though i talk about performance above, But with this spec hardware there is huge gap to improve by software later.
Camera. Sacrifice newer model but what we get is image stabilization @4K and higher Megapixel. wide angle front facing camera.
Sound both on speaker and headphone quite good.
Equip with all kind of connectivity even infrared.
Fast and accurate fingerprint sensor.
Conclusion:
In real world scenario, i didn't feel any lag or slow performance. It still one of the fast/best phone in the market today. Camera is good just dont read the spec sheet. Feel premium on hand. Huge battery capacity more than enough for daily use, plus quick charge. Good sound. fast fingerprint scan. Have to wait abit for custom rom and kernel. Better if you can get global version.

You can't really use these benchmark test for anything serious.
Here's my results:

Does it play x265/hevc well? (use mx player + custom codec)
This is the thing I'm looking for in my next phone.

SD 821 is much more powerful than tegra x1 and yes it plays 10 bit hevc videos. I have Nvidia shield TV too, ja it's good but SD 821 is faster and better.

Yes, I saw many 4gb mi note 2 benchmark around 145-160k. With my unit (6gb mi note 2) i expect to see better ram performance but i got even lower than 4gb model. I think with newer rom update could improve ram management on 6gb model.
But as i said on original post that real world use i didnt get any pull down performance.
Do you need to wake the phone to use the fingerprint sensor? Or is it like most phones that can be woken up and unlocked with a fingerprint scan?

You have to press to the home/fingerprint sensor to wake and unlock the phone at the same time.
How is the display of the mi note 2? Many reviewers are quite disappointed by the display. I wonder how sharp it is because of 5.7" amoled screen. Pentile matrix and 1080p resolution with that screen size could be a concern for me.
I just can't decide between MI note 2 and oneplus 3t...oneplus is much much cheaper than MI note 2 in 128 GB configuration and I guess it will be available much faster than mi note 2. But I want the edge screen so badly.

Frankly I would say that display is better then any other IPS screen in terms of color reproduction. Brightness is fine but Xiaomi 5s is brighter at max. It is not an issue for me because I keep brightness at 80%, in bright condition. Here's a bad thing I think, the screen changes to bluish tint if you look at it at angle but most noticeable if display is white. When it comes to sharpness it's fine to me but I think many people will say it's not sharp enough because they just happen to know that there are 2k displays on the other phones. They would never guessed what resolution particular displays has by just looking at it. OnePlus 3t it might be better in some aspects but personally it's looking boring to me and I would never consider one for myself. Besides I hate when camera frame is taller/higher than surface as it's case with OnePlus. The other thing you have to put in consideration is MIUI and for now there is no global firmware but I flashed Xiaomi.eu ROM and it's flawless. There are other phones in the same category like Leeco le pro 3 or vivo xplay6. Best regards

Ihave not read this wrong, as of November, there has been a 128GB/6GB combination of the 5.7" Xiaomi Mi Note 2 with a Global ROM? Or the CN one with litterally 4 or 5 unlocked bands?
So this phone must be woken up for the finger print to work. It doesn't try reading a fingerprint tap on the button and ,must be woken up to work?

That is correct, but still it's done by one touch, while yu pressing the button the fingerprint scanner is unlocking the locked screen at same time.
Mi note 2 global version is about to be realest but all my Xiaomi mi phones are compatible in my country ( Denmark) so I am not bothered.

I think the word disappoint for display of mi note 2 is under expectation. Everyone who plan to buy this phone would expect to see gorgeous IPS curve display. But after you get the phone hand on and the color on the edge doesn't seem as expectation so it would be abit disappoint.
As a mi note2 user I would say first impression was abit disappointed for display. The color on curve edge seem abit blue (only on white background) and abit warm tone display (compared to 1+2 i had used before mi note2).
But after using this phone for few days you will get use to color of display. Now i didn't feel any color change on the curve edges (after get used to) but the curve edge of screen still make you feel good on hand. Normally we look directly to screen not to the curve so right now color on the curve doesn't make me feel bad otherwise curve is still curve every time you hold your phone you always feel good on hand.
Thanks for the feedback. I personally don't care about other phones 2k displays (VR is not of relevance for me at all). I'm running the redmi note 3 pro international at the moment and the display is just fantastic. I just don't want a downgrade in display quality for my next phone which will cost about 4x more than the redmi note 3. In general the note 3 pro is already the perfect phone for its price tag (except for camera quality) but I always happened to be one of the enthusiast guys and I'm very curious about the curved screen.
An other thing that bothers me is the battery life. Reviewers speak about 4-5hrs on screen time. On the note 3 you can easily get between at least 7 hrs up to 10 hrs for some ppl. The difference in screen size is just 0.2 inches and the capacity is the same.
So what is the battery life for you guys?
The camera seems to be decent but it seems that pixel and s7/edge still play in their own league tho...
BTW: is anyone using the edge functions on the mi note 2?

1. Yes, bootloader must be unlocked and TWRP for Mi note 2 must be flashed at first.
2. There is a guide on xiaomi.eu site how to do it : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-29.37056/

I purchased the 4x international version. I had a Samsung Galaxy Note5 before this. I don't care what specs say this phone is really nice. I say take the chance and get it. I doubt you will be disappointed.
Pros:
Great Battery Life 24 hour of medium to heavy use with 8-10h LTE only consume 50% battery
Screen is nice
Android 7 (many custom rom if you dont like MIUI)
Looks expensive and feel expensive
PRICE
Cons:
Camera is what you pay for
Snapdragon 625 with Adreno 506 is below average for heavy gamer, great for normal usage
No quick charge, took around 2.45h to charge from 5% to 100%
Hard to get a good screen protector with the 2.5d screen

If you will choose between:
Redmi note 4
Nokia 5
Motorola moto g5
Sony Xperia l1
What you will choose?!
Don't forget Lenovo P2
After weeks of waiting and reviewing, reading and thinking, i finally put my money on Redmi Note 4.
Got the Black 64GB 4GB ram version
My reasons:
More than enough memory - Ram & Internal
Great build quality
Almost best Hardware to cost - value for money
Stable Rom build
****load of development in terms of ROM's & Kernels
2 yrs warranty from the supplier here - including screen and water damage
Im not a heavy gamer or a photo geek so dont really care for Gaming or low light photos. My Note 5 still takes gr8 images
Hence thats my Vote

Is redmi note 3 pro better for gaming than rn4?
It will give slightly more fps, but much worse battery life.
Sorry to jump in here, but i am also shopping for a new phone
I'm currently using huawei honor 5x, it was a great phone at a cheap price with plenty of XDA support
however, the honor 5x is starting to boggle down a bit on Nougat and i want to expand pass the 2gb RAM
The OnePlus 3T is what I really desire, but I can't pull the trigger with that price tag
I've been going back and forth between the Nexus 5x and Redmi Note 4X
the specs seem very respectable on the 4gb 64gb version and i'm having a hard time finding a better phone at this price point
with plenty of XDA support for this device, i'm starting to really lean towards this RN4x
They are both good phones, thing is you wont get new Nexus 5x only used or refurbished which often comes with poor exhausted batteries.
Also im not big fan of Snapdragon 808/810.. they heat up like crazy, which also results in poor battery life and thermal throttling.
I remember LG G Flex 2 i had back in the day with Snap 810, after gaming session i could probably use it as iron press.
Hey, im looking for new phone and Pocophone F1 looks interesting. But when i read few threads here and on YouTube i have some questions mostly about screen. Is really touch screen and screen quality not good for newest games and movies? Now i have Le Max 2 and screen quality is superb and i haven't problem at all with quality or touch delay, but software and some things are just awful thats why i want to change Phone but not at all cost
I won't buy it until they fix the lag issue.

I'm in the same position as well... looking to get a Poco F1. Currently using a Oneplus One on Lineage OS... so the development community is essential and Poco F1 seems to be a good successor. Tried to jump to the Razer Phone, but as good as the silky smooth 120Hz screen is, the development community is lacking (and it doesn't support exFAT and Apt-X, both of which the Poco F1 has).
Played with the Poco F1 at the Mi Store for like 30min (tried to install gcam with night sight, but for some reason it would freeze up). The main thing holding me back right now is Widevine L1 certification. Once Poco can actually deliver on that, then I think I'll take the plunge.

not everybody has that prob
I also don't have any lag issues with my phone it's fluid and smooth and no problem at all with the hardware, the screen is good and I don't have these touch or bleeding issues .. Just buy a Chinese phone cause all these screen problems arises in these phones made in India due to bad quality control.

Well, you shouldn't bother about screen quality. Its one of the bests that IPS can offer. 720p YouTube videos have the same quality from 540p and XIAOMI alleged is solving this. You can test on YouTube. 480p and 720p videos on 6" screen have no difference.
Hi folks I'm in the market for another device and I'm stuck on the poco F1 or the mi 8 Lite both around my budget of £300 seeing as the 64GB 6GB poco is now £299 I'm obviously thinking it's a better bang for buck with the SD 845 over the mi 8 Lite SD 660 no contest in that department but of course the mi 8 Lite looks a better build smaller notch and generally nicer looking , can't decide weather to go with lower spec CPU with
more premium look of forget looks and have better specs ,,,
What would you do? Tia

latest batch like mine has no problem with screen bleeding... and some say touch response prob and they say it starts after a while when we drag and u can even take s9 it also starts draging after some drag thats how screen works it has to understand touch and drag so it takes time
