Hey
few days ago I saw news about new phone company called Vernee.
They have announced their flagship phone called Apollo
It will be available soon in late April.
Vernee Apollo will have powerful hardware
- Mediatek MT6797 chipset – Helio X20
- 6GB of RAM
- 128GB ROM
- 21 megapixel Sony IMX230 sensor
- Support for 3D Force Touch
- Type-C port
but for now it is not known what price will be.
What do you think, could be cheaper than Xiaomi or Meizu flagship phones ?

Thank you
Price announced

What phone do you suggest for the future? I'm disappointed with Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB, bad materials, bad support, ridiculous battery life and bad space management (phone is too big).
My priority are battery (not necessary a battery phone, but at least 6-7 hours of display), good camera (I want support for real slow motion, not the ZF2 one ) , good design (I would prefer a 5-5.2") and good software support.
My budget is 400€ and I need phones that I can found on Amazon (so don't suggest me phones like OP3 that are on Amazon at 100€ more).
Thanks
I was thinking about ZUK Z2 & Z2 Pro as my next phone after ZF2. Generally because it's smaller than 5.5" and probably should have similar performance.
This choice is made based on specifications from the web. I still need to check some reviews for this phone.
Maybe someone can say anything about this phone?
Or Galaxy S8 Edge + Gear Vr,, or nothing

The problem is that these phones like Zuk, Xiaomi and these "not top" brands, are not selling officially in Italy and they don't support 800Mhz (band 20) for 4G LTE, used a lot here, expecially where I live and with my carrier..so I need a "more european" brand, to have full 4G support.
I am thinking of the 5.5 inch Zenfone 3. I have been very happy with my ze551ml.

P9000 is not really better than ZF2, at least the 4 Gb version (unless you're badly looking for a fingerprint unlockable phone).
I used a P8000 before and although it's a nice phone, Mediatek processors are less powerful than other manufacturers' equivalent cpu's. If you take Antutu Benchmark as a reference (yes, we all know it can be faked, but it serves its purpose as a reference, and a way to compare two phones) P9000 scores between 45k and 47k, while my ZF2, which is the 1.8 Ghz version, scores between 55k and 57k. P9000 wouldn't be such a step forward, unless your ZF2 is broken beyond repair.
I'd stick to ZF2 until something significantly more powerful and affordable comes around. I've already seen some 6 Gb RAM phones, also with 128 Gb storage, but definitely not in the same price range as the ZF2.

if you want upgrade 400$ i suggest xiaomo mi5s + or one plus 3
My current "short list" of devices:
OnePlus 3
ZTE Axon 7
Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe
LeEco Le Max 2
LeEco Le Pro 3
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
Sony XA Ultra
Nexus 6
Motorola Moto X Pure
I sincerely felt ZF2 not really worth the price , the hardwares are high spec but softwares are ****.
I got mine in June last year and as still pleased with it. Worth the price to me.

I'll not purchase ASUS anymore period.
I replace it with an Galaxy S7 duos (flat screen version), cost near twice but it's the best android phone available despite Pixel XL hype, the S7 is the fastest water proof dual sim better display, much smaller than the asus and pixel XL, features Knox and multitasking and Samsung voice recognition its available in Spanish and while not as funny as the assistant does very well when I'm driving, also read messages and emails features not available in Spanish from Google asistant o now. Ahh the S7 also includes HR sensor and wireless charging and cost 300 less than a pixel XL.
I can't find one with better specs than the Zenfone 2 and with the ability to use two sim cards and an sd card at the same time .

Yea there are, the Moto G4 has a dual sim version I don't know if can use the sd slot the same time but includes 64 internal storage android 7 and 0 bloat.
I don't use the sd slot often with 32gb its far enough to me even I have 3 games and 10gb+ in mp3, and when I need video for long trips I just plug an mini otg-usb pendrive.
But there is an mod for the S7 that allows simultaneously use the SD and two sim but implies devastating one sim that can't be uses on other phone anymore.

Moto G4 has only 2gb ram it does has a dedicated sd card slot though :good: but spec wise it's not as good as the zenfone 2 imo.

FYI Moto G4 has versions from 2GB/32gb 5HD" to 4GB/64GB" 5.5HD +fingerprint reader from 150$ (G4play) to 300$ (G4+), in some markets is offered with Dual-Sim feature, and spec-off its an high quality build phone, absolutely reliable with the fastest updated among non-nexus phones, even I considered it at last moment instead the S7.

:good:
Moto G4 plus Google says 4GB only on sale via Amazon in the UK checking Amazon I'm finding 3GB at £245 so when the 4GB version is out I'm thinking it will probably be north of £300.
One to keep an eye on though:good:
Got the missus a vernee thor for 80GBP , comes with MM out the box and just put AOSP 7.1 on it for her from M.A.D team, here on XDA .
Nippy device 3GB ram and...... MTK of all chipsets
http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_note_8-8231.php
go for xiaomi mi5 or zenfone 3 deluxe. i am using xiaomi mi5. believe me its best.
I'm coming from a Moto maxx/droid turbo with a snapdragon 805 and 3 gb of ram, i want a good phone without breaking the bank.
So far, my options have been reduced to mid-range phones like the xiaomi mi a1 and past-flagships like the galaxy s7 flat, the axon 7 and the htc10.
I don't really like big phones and i don't like bloatwared software either, however as the current phone market is in my country this tend to be really good choices.
The mi A1 here costs around 320-300 dolars, the HTC around 300 dolars and the galaxy can be found around 290-300. I haven't been able to find axon 7 or one plus 3/3t reliable sellers so this is why i'm asking this question.
I'm sorry to bother you with this question, but i would really appreciate if you could tell me your experience with your current htc, and if you think that at that price can hold it's value.

As expected, the mid range masterpiece, Honor 8X, Since its launch, has shipped more than 10 million units worldwide.
The Honor 8X, a mid-range phone ticking all the boxes to be your first choice, is a great-value phone that punch in the great performance, a fantastic full veiw display and a decent camera with impressive battery.
Key Specifications-
Kirin 710 SoC
4GB RAM / 64GB storage
microSD slot+ dual-SIM (no hybrid but dedicated slots)
3750mAh battery
20MP + 2MP camera

Congrats, Honor
What the use of dumping 10m units in the market while can care about 10 units only?
We paid money for this device but still not getting any update to the latest android 9 although android 10 about to born.
They started a beta program and they made a noise about that but they cannot make it available for more than 2 countries on this planet.
Maybe they sold this device but what about next device ? They still thinking about the 10 million? Hah
I big regret buying device from this company i thought they changed better than before 5 years when i owned the first device from them but look like they going more worse in after sales services.
Learn from xiaomi the young company.
And on this special occasion.......BRING BACK BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING. IF YOU DO THAT THE NUMBER WILL RISE FROM TEN MILLION TO TEN MILLION AND ONE.
Still really miss my 20x and am considering ditching this S20 Ultra and picking one up again. Have been reading about Harmony and wonder how long they plan to keep updating the 20x for. Anyone know?

Visit the huawei forums to post your question there. Customer service there usually can answer that question
Honor is soon release the Honor X20 Max on 7,2inch.
Its a mixed mid and top ranger.
I will for sure try it out.
I tried Samsung s21 ultra which i sold after 1 month.
Then i bought the xiaomi mi 11 ultra and a brand new Chinese version of mate 20x with a global rom and 8gb 256gb.
I still got both.
I like mi11u better vs S21u, but still the display is not big enough for me, so i hope for the Honor x20 max.

Yes its slated to be released this month. Unfortunately according to some news speculations it will come in a 20:9 aspect ratio. If thats indeed true you can forget about buying it. Narrow phones are s***. You and I are in the same boat when it comes to wide screens which we enjoy.
I really hope reports of the x20 max's aspect ratio are false and they decided to stick to the traditional 19:9 typified on last year's x10 max. If not I'll stick to my 20x for sure or possibly switch to the note 20 ultra. I really hate narrow phones.
