Anyone as came from the Oneplus 5 to Honor 8 Pro?

Anyone as come from the Oneplus 5 to Honor 8 Pro?
After having returned my OP5 i'm seriously considering H8Pro
Is it a good alternative performance wise? Better? Worst?
As an Amoled lover ... will I be disappointed with the LCD H9Pro screen as to it's deep blacks and vibrant colors?
Will the 2K display compensate for not being Amoled like the one in OP5?
Thanks :good:

Why did you return your OP5?

I've used both the devices. I'm using the Honor 8 pro at this moment. Both the phones are very snappy but 1+5 surely has an edge plus Indian variant of Honor 8 pro gets warm at the back side with light usage too which is no the case with OnePlus 5 with the same exact usage! Display? I'll prefer the one on Honor 8 pro for the 2k res & it's very good looking too (it's very marginal difference, nothing noticeable)

Sadly it is having emmc! Is it safe to assume that all Indian Honor 8 Pros are having EMMC as the price is far cheaper than the Global variant! Plus 6+128 model available!

Yup that seems true but then why are they supplying ufs 2.1 versions to reviewers.
Outright cheating.

My opinon- Reviewers received the Global variant (maybe, just maybe) which had UFS! But yes that's not fair as I see many people asking about the same and they are also worried about the heating issue (not uncomfortable though) as they bought the device by watching those "early reviews"

A little but my major problem was that I could not connect to my home router
Only managed to connect to my Devolo 1200+ and not all the times.
Many people have other Wi-Fi problems like drops and speed.
Really bad the Wi-Fi quality on OP5.

All the reviewers have ufs variant and that's why they are getting better performance on their units. All others have emmc and thus, degraded performance.

No european buyers here yet that can confirm it europe is receiving emmc or ufs?

Had the Honor 8Pro before the OP5 and OP5 is way better. '(Germany - Got the Honor from Netherlands)
Storage was EMMC - Which really enerved me + at that point in time (1 month after release) no root in sight little XDA coverage etc-
Sent it back within the 14 day period.
Both are nice phones but the op5 is IMHO better.
Joerg

If it would be about the phone only, I'd go with Honor 8 pro but, given the fact I value the development strength when ever I get the chance to get a phone, I'll go with OP5 (if I can buy it :silly: )

Should I get Honor 8 Pro ?

Hi, I am planning on getting the Honor 8 pro by the end of this week.i came up with a few doubts. I am switching from Moto G4 plus to Honor 8 pro and the EMUI thing has got me concerned.
1. Is it by any chance as good as the near stock android like feel of Moto G4 plus?
2. Is there a way of getting stock android in it without bricking my phone?
3. I just received the June 2017 security patch for Moto G4+ and it got me wondering, how will I receive these updates if I somehow manage to get stock android on Honor 8 pro?
4. I can even work with near stock like ROMs , like oxygen OS or CynogenMods or anything similar, but then, how long will be my wait before I get my hands on Android O after it is released. Is the Honor developer community very active? Or should I stay with EMUI expecting office releases?
5. I am not planning to get another phone for next couple of years and I am tight on budget. Am I doing the right thing by going for his phone instead of say 1+5 or LG G6 ? Or should I wait a few more weeks/months to get another "flagship killer" to be launched?
I am not very familiar with rooting and stuff so if anyone could guide me towards some resources to read about these, it will be great. Preferably Honor phones related rooting.
Thankyou in advance

5.RRos is so cool in this device ,AOSPA also.. best ROMs
6. if you are a flasholic better to go for OP5 .the development is soo fast there .

Your post seems like you want stock Android, if that's the case then you should go with OP5.

I would love to have OP5 but I am really really tight on budget, even 30K is stretching me too far from my budget. I just want to make sure that it's worth it. I am not a flasholic, I flash once in like 6 months, just to test out some other ROMS, just want to ensure that I won't have to dig the depths of the internet to get a compatible ROM.

if you get honor 8 for 18k it was the best deal around that budget

I rather enjoy having more functions then stock android. This is not Samsung or LG amount of bloatware or wierd functions, but rather small improvements. Still fast and lagg free and I have no doubt it still will be in a couple of years.
The screen, looks & build quality and battery life are stuff that really impress and makes this a "flagship phone /killer". Also quite future proof specs.

Just for everyone to know, I finally bought Honor 8 Pro, and so far I am very happy that I did. Thank you all for the replies.
I even dropped the phone once from a height of around 4 feets (Unintentionally ofcourse) and apart from having a little paint removed from the top, everything is fine. Guess the build quality is good enough.
I remember reading about having a software upgrade soon on 25-26th of this month. Anyone has any update on that ?

Yes, this is great, not bad at all. I am just worried about the updates now, that's all. Other than that, EMUI is pretty sleek.

Even i am skeptical of installing it. I am using a Huawei device for he first time and thus don't know how to revive it if something goes wrong.

any reason for preferring stock Android? what do you expect from "stock" experience? smoothness? or an Android without any extra features? and why?
EMUI has got it's own pros & cons.. there are some really good things that Huawei has implemented into the OS. there are also some quirks that they've never gotten to fixing..
in terms of security patches.. Huawei and honor, sadly, can be a bit slow. maybe like once every 3-6 months once.
but personally, I'm not too worried coz in the end, if you practise safe use, not an issue. before I got my honor8Pro, I was using Note 2.. and well, what security patch? haha..

wait a little

Moto g5s and s+ are one the way ... so might as well wait for them, and few other noteworthy devices are getting released, there's been meizu with dual screen.... I use honor8 pro... it has all the premium features on surface.... but not mind blowing, good cam, better screen , thin profile, premium finish and attention to detail are few highlights, but expected a lot more from emui, no native equalizer though dts certified, knuckle knock for screenshots works at its own will, not many customized options in features, only reason I'd go for non stock Android phones ks their skin embedded features whereas on stock Android you'd need an app..
Another noteworthy omission is no photobackup on huwei cloud, and system state backup seems to be non existent as well...
Few more points to consider is how Future proof is your phone, because you'd expect some resale value right.. from 30000 the fall of price might be steeper, so consider it all and jump the boat, meanwhile if you do buy honor 8 pro do get back with your opinion about the device and any good things you've discovered about it... it'd be nice to compare

Is Honor 8 Pro a good upgrade from one plus 3?

Hello Guys,
I have a one plus 3 now and a iPhone 7 Plus 128gb. I was thinking on moving from one plus 3 ( I Never had any issues with it ).
One plus 3 is Running on AquariOS with ElementalX Kernel on 7.1.2.. The reasons I wanted to take honor 8 pro is
1. Bigger Battery .
2. Better Screen.
3. More Space.
4. Low price Compared to one plus 5.
5. Maybe a new experience..
Suggest me pleaseeee? Pro's and Con's and if there are any better alternatives at lower price. Please let me know....thank you

The only con you'll face is EMUI (compared to Oneplus's OxygenOS), everything is better on honor 8 pro.
And about EMUI, don't worry, the devs are working on Cutsom ROMs, and soon they'll be fully stable.
As for better alternatives at lower prices, I guess there's honor 9

Yes the cheap Google One device that has a budget tier camera? It's not even good.
All due respect, if you don't like the 7X, you're free to return it and buy a Mi A1.

Mi A1 has a better camera to be honest

Probably future updates will improve pretty impressed with mine coming from a Moto G5 prob not hard why
Sent from my BND-L21 using Tapatalk

The portrai mode is bonkers in 7X i agree but apart from that honor 7X is far better in terms of front camera and a tad better than MIA1 since that phone simply washes all the photos in yellow for weird reason so 7x is better in terms of overall camera review as far as i can say than MIA1 except portrait mode which is clearly can be improved drastically since pixel 2 can do it then can others with softwares.
if you disagree with my opinion its cz you havent tested it
Here is the best MIA1 vs Honor 7X camera comparison available :
rest all youtubers seem to weirdly like the yellow colors from MIA1 and calling good saturation which is just stupidity but ranjeet captured it like a pro unbiased review..

Why Custom Rom development is totally off??

Almost all custom Roms are not even updated since last year. The custom Rom or Android development for Honor 8 Pro is totally off? Why is that?
Even after oreo release, feels like no one interested.
update: Honor released kernel source for honor 8 pro
https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro-honor-9-android-oreo-kernel-source/

personally, i feel that this is due to the fact that:
* many are happy for stock ROM
* stock ROM has got a lot of features and options for all sorts of ppl
* in terms of optmisation and efficiency, modern day version of Android don't really drain that much.
* battery tech has improved and we see phones packing bigger battery. so, ppl no longer than concerned abt battery life
* limited user-base -- so ROM developers are better off spending their time on phones with larger user-base, thus getting better feedback and attention

You are right, Thanks.
Just After honor ditch us, no chance of Getting future android experience ?

Honor left honor 8 pro.
Honor is fully focused on AI based honor view 10, the selected developer were given free honor view 10 handsets for its support and development of rom's in future. Honor has ditched the honor 8 pro.
The developers started working on honor view 10 and developed treble lineage os 15.1 rom based on Oreo 8.1 for kirin 970 devices.
Even the magisk and substrantum support is given for honor view 10.
I think this is my last honor device ??.

personally, i dun expect much since honor 8 Pro is a one year old device (using China's V9 as the actual launch). honor already launched a replacement device and if they actually continue to promote older device, then there's something not right with their strategy. so, it's only right that they get support for newer device instead, which is the View 10.
and the Q is... do i need custom rom? nope. i dun think i need it. and do i think it's needed for even View 10? nope... dun think it's needed.
many reasons why i dun think custom rom needed is in my first reply above.

I heard yesterday, Honor had removed Kernal sources for Honor 8 pro(or V9)[after its launched] that's a big problem also for custom roms.
Even in their own website the stock firmware is not available, no even it's name.
Stock rom might ne good, but Many people seeks for Future taste of Android. Honor already ditch us, The only way we could have taste Android p or Android Q using custom roms and now that also not possible.
Where as they are making sure Honor view 10 get erd party development supports.

Stock rom might ne good, but Many people seeks for Future taste of Android. Honor already ditch us, The only way we could have taste Android p or Android Q using custom roms and now that also not possible.
Where as they are making sure Honor view 10 get erd party development supports.

i bought the honor 8 Pro because it is a good phone. great specs at affordable price. i din get it so i could get the latest version of Android. to me, so long as it works and it's patched (and while it's inconsistent but the updates have been coming from Honor), i'm fine with it.
and based on the above, honor 8 Pro is still a good phone. i don't really care about the latest Android version. what is more important is that i'm using the smartphone for what it can do -- connecting me. and it's doing a great job at that.

U r right, It will still be a very good phone with good specs nod doubt.
Everyone has their own view.
Some people's like custom development.
And Huawei doing open source for view 10 and removing 8pro(v9)'s kernal sources is really disappointing.

When honor8pro was launched, Huawei/Honor out up a show like this is device is going to get all the required attention and care. Instead they struggled with patches itself. Not even updates, fhey couldn't make working patches.
They looked for market and found one. That's it. US market is unreachable at least for an year or two, so a new strategy is to push as many devices as they can in current markets while lobbying for US market.
Honor tried or picturized a Xiaomi like strategy but went Samsung ish. Hardware wise 8pro is matchless in its tier but then there isn't much you can boast about it on realtime usage. They nerfed battery when some issues started its that bad.
It's a compromise device that has been further compromised. I feel honor is a sinking ship. They're severely dependent on marketing than letting phones prove themselves. They have paid Android authority and even Xda well to keep featuring posts or reviews about their phones. So that neo nerds or spec hungry guys can devour these devices and guys like these are usually the ones that are looked up or called up by less nerdy or less tech literates for their next best phone.
Such fake image doesn't hold long and easily shatters. Just like one plus which promised big things and promised support and longevity unlike google... and then just ditched all that, Honor too promised devices with better specs and better support but well... at this rate honor 10view will bite the dust soon as well, or if things keep going bad for honor/Huawei they might loop back.
Only time will tell. But for now it sure is bleak for Honor8pro. There isn't a way to jump to custom roms either. So when **** hits the cieling this phone will be a glorified remote control.

In Nutshell, most of us in india got this device with buyback from flipkart, 1st week march that awaited period start. Time to switch back to some soft-support team with decent hardware, ASAP. My bid is back to moto. whats others planning ?

I didn't took buyback guarantee ?:crying:

Honor 8 pro is the most neglected so called "Flagship killer" of 2017/18.
Shortly after the release of 8 pro, they had taken down all official firmware sources.
View 10 is view 10 all over the globe. 8 pro is just a 128 GB variant of V9. So it has been completely neglected.
When Honor was questioned as to why firmware sources were removed, they gave a dumb reply saying it was HQ decision and they have least control over it.
This is like being in Apple ecosystem. Very sad to see such a potential device being neglected completely.
Honor has suddenly started focusing on lower budget segment in India after 8 pro's launch. Devices like 9 lite are starting to see updates for Face Unlock and yester year Flagship 8 pro is still with buggy Oreo update which they cannot fix.

Honor is a dumb ass!! ?

Go to honor view 10 thread and flash RR OS. Works flawlessly on honor 8 pro. Just some glitches here and there. What custom ROM support do you guys want more?

lol. why port an already working ROM. it works like a charm with only few issues:
1. some animations are choppy(doesn't concern me much)
2. no volte(i don't need it)
3. no stock camera(will be added soon)
4. minor graphical glitches. (doesn't affect the overall interface)

VOLTE is a big concern for me. Atleast in India.
Ok, lets not call it port----, fixing those glitches.
And jst turn of animation scale?, no problem of transitions.
