I have been reviewing the information about the Honor 9. Honestly, this is the first time I ever heard of the phone, but that is a different topic.
The question I want to know is that I recently purchased the Galaxy S8+ and wish to know if anybody did a comparison?
I have seen the videos but it still lacks substance.
For example, I understand that the Honor 9 is better suited for memory and gaming due to its GPU and increased memory. Is that the only real good thing about it?
Galaxy 8+ (for me, i don't have honor 9), seems to look brighter and sharper when it comes to the display. The edge feature is just a cool design but not a selling point.
Is the Honor 9 considered a gaming phone?
What would be the Pros and Cons if you was to make a purchase? I know the price tag is already a Pro for the Honor 9 (300-400, right)?
thanks, XDA.
In terms of performance the Honor 9 does best the SGS8+ just by a slight margin depending on what version of the SGS8+ you are planning on getting. However the SGS8+ does have a much better display than the Honor 9. Also it has a much better VR experience due to the better display than the Honor 9. However if you aren't interested in VR then the Honor 9 is a excellent purchase.
In terms of everything, the galaxy s8+ is better.
But for value/specs, honor 9 is better

1. Honor 9 is best for all around usage.
2. Yeah Galaxy S8+ screen is way better than Honor 9.
3. S8+ is waterproof, Honor 9 is not.
4. S8+ has a more durable build.
Hey guys, new to all this so go easy on me. Over the past few years I have become a bit of a tech fanatic. I like to get a phone, use for a few months then sell on while it retains value. I'm March I got the S9 Plus coming from a Note 8 and from that coming from an S8 Plus. I love Samsung through heaven and earth but have become slightly bored with their design and UI. I have been strongly considering the Huawei P20 Pro and the OnePlus 6. Can I have your thoughts please? I have read/watch so many reviews on the P20 Pro and it's seems amazing the lag is the main issue as I do now want it. I don't game, I use a phone for emails, text, whatsapp, web browsing, Twitter, Instagram etc. ?
Why not ask in those forums? This is the Galaxy S9+ forums.

Agreed, definitely this over the OP6 or P20

If you are bored of s9 plus UI then undoubtedly you would definitely get bored of Huwawei's EMUI(yup, has bit of lags as well) and Note 9 UI will be the same as S9 plus(with slightly added refinement of samsung experience) . So as per your question and requirement, you are left with OP6. OxyGenOS is a well thought - out one with some nifty features. The OTAs bring bug sometimes but overall its a, fast fluid experience without bells and whistles.

Except coming from an S9 plus the OP6 is missing some key features.
Sd card slot.
Ip68 rating
Wireless charging
Stereo speakers (although there is a mod for this).
Sure the device is cheaper and some may not care about those features but once you have grown accustomed to them very difficult to give up!
For example, me i dont really care about the IP68 rating but will not purchase any device without the other 3 listed.

True. Had the OP asked for a comparison I could go on and on including your points. But it seems he is bored of Samsung UI, design and trying to choose in bet^n P20 Pro and OnePlus 6. Also based on his additional requirements, I can assure that he would get a pleasant experience with the OP6.

Why won't you just install another launcher on the S9+? That should give you plenty of options to configure how the phone looks. Not all will change of course, but how many time do you spend in the phone's menu's
I had the Mate 10 Pro and P20, had issues with screen dimming on both phones on most all apps, great phones aside from the screen dimming. The screen would dim a couple of seconds after launching any app.
This bothered me to the point of switching to the S9 Plus, if you want a phone that works like its supposed to the S9 is it. Nothing beats the Samsung screens and design. It just works...
I had Mate10 non pro (now stolen, it was a fine Phone, but cam was not naturally for people.).
After them, my old Oneplus 3 (happy with Miui ROM),
then a Xiaomi MiA1 (boring stock Android), then MiMix2s (really good phone, but missing Netflix HD. For me Netflix HD is Import cuz i have 1:10h Train every day).
Now i got the S9+, this is the best package and also the best compromisse!
I've been also a true Samsung user for a long time and getting kinda tired of limitless samsung features and services that prevent the phone from being super snappy and eat up batterytime. Flashed Resurrection Remix ROM on the G-965F and it gave a complete different feeling i.e. near and dear to my liking but still not found a cam mod that works in portrait mode. Rooting, flashing ROMs and the like don't come without sacrifices.:cyclops:
Owning both G-965F and G-9650 models for months now and Pixel 3 XL/OnePlus 6T are in my wish-bucket list.
I had the P20 Pro and sold it mostly because I could get the S9+ for 400$ new. It has its fair share of quirks....It is noticeable laggier than the S9+ and the camera was not great when just trying to point and shoot. You could take great photos with it, but you had to fiddle with it every time to get the shot right.
The battery life is absolutely phenomenal though. The battery could easily last me 2 days. Huawei also has the same problem as Samsung though, and it is a big one for me, updating in a timely fashion.
I am waiting for the Oneplus 6t and Pixel 3 XL and will most likely be switching to one of those and giving the S9+ to my son when I do.
FYI, some info:
OnePlus reveals 10T colors, and why alert slider and camera branding are gone
OnePlus has revealed the reason why the OnePlus 10T will skip the classic alert slider and Hasselblad camera branding.
www.androidauthority.com
I'm going to get this phone and they still have not yet revealed the complete specs, so I'm gonna wait for the best!
Same here. This 10T looks really nice.
I'm on 8 Pro for around 2 years now and was looking for a good successor. I've considered the Pixel 6 Pro, Xiaomi 12 Pro, Realme GT2 Pro and, sure, the OnePlus 10. These just didn't cut it for me though.
I'm really looking forward to the 10T's European release!
Edit: I wasn't aware of the fact that it can't wirelessly charge though... that's a real bummer. I use that on daily babe right now with my 8 Pro.
That and the fact that the alert slider will be absent makes me second guess if the 10T really is the phone for me.
Doubts, doubts, doubts...
Do we know how the new chip performs? Does it fix the overheating from gen 1?

From some reviews and the launch event, yes, and it should be 30% more efficient, but I would wait for some more long term reviews before buying. (Its also not even out so waiting is kind of a given lol) from benchmarks, it doesn't seem to do as well as other 8+ gen 1 phones in terms of score, however that may be due to not having the phone in performance mode. Until I get my hands on the phone itself tho, that's all the info I can really give.
Dear all
I'm very happy with my Mi 11 Pro which I'm using since some month. Stupid me, I dropped it and now the display is broken which I can't fix in Europe as it's an imported phone and not available here. It still works well but the cracked display is bothering me.
Now I could have a very good deal on the Mi Mix 4 (second hand). What's your thoughts? Do you guys think I would be happy with that choice? Camera isn't the most important feature for me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Overall I'm incredibly happy with mine, especially running PixelExperience Plus.
It really doesn't miss out on many features of the 11 Pro in my opinion.
Only issue for me currently is the battery getting weak a bit since I've been fast-charging it a lot.
Hello Pixel Fam! I have been using Pixel 6 for quite sometime now and I have fallen in love with the Google Ecosystem and Stock Android Experience of the Pixel 6. Haven't really found a fault with my Pixel 6 soo far except for the battery performance which seems to have reduced. I have heard lots of rumors about the Pixel 8 and Google Fold being the next flagship devices to come out from Google and was wondering if I should switch to the Pixel 8? Im not really confident about the Pixel Fold and since they cost a fortune, I'd rather upgrade to Pixel 8 or Pixel 7.
I would like to know all of your suggestions, Should I get the Pixel 7 or wait for the Pixel 8 to get launched? Or rather just hold on to my Pixel 6?
All replies would be highly appreciated!

Honestly, wait for the Pixel 8 since you dont seem to be bothered by the Pixel 6. So I guess you can give some more time since Pixel 8 is on the way to the market!
if you have no real reason to switch, stick with the P6.
P7 has zero advantages.
