Guys, I am considering shifting from Oneplus X to Oneplus 3, however I am very happy with the size of the X I am envying some of the features of the new gadget. My main worries are the dimensions of the OP3. Furthermore I always use transparent protectors that increases the dimensions with a few millimetres each direction.
Can anyone share some hands on experience for such scenario?

That's just a part of puberty... lol
Jk.. did you ever own the oneplus one?
I just sold the oneplus x I had and my 3 is on the way. I've been using an S7 for a couple of months now, but I've tried everything from a Z5C to a 6P over the past 6 months.
The bottom line is... if the phone & build quality are great, along with the overall experience, you sorta glance over the size.

And if so, how do you find it?
Prefer it, but then I'm a big phone person and place a high value on battery life and this is the best I've ever had, so don't see myself going back (still have the Mate 20 Pro currently). Apart from screen size and battery other differences is speaker on the Mate 20 X is far better (again, best I've had on a phone), prefer the fingerprint scanner location/reliability/speed, prefer the flat screen. Mate 20 Pro fast charging, easier handling and waterproofing the things I miss from the other side.
I have both phones. I'm using the Pro as a daily drive but I take the X with me to work and use it for notes and browsing, using the Pro as a hotspot. I have the momax case with the pen holder. For me its a bit bulky with the case to carry around as dd. But its nice as a small tablet replacement and I like the pen.
I like big phones and want the X to replace the pro, but i like the ip68 and 3D face unlock feature.
If you had to choose, what it would be?
Face unlock on the X not as good, but close. Good enough that not really a differentiating factor for me. Definitely X if I had to chose.
hey everyone, I really like the 7t but I am not used to big phones. Im using the essential phone right now, contemplated on getting the s10 cause its the perfect size, but I rather get the 7t. I never used any big phones like the note, so I would like your opinion on it, particularly those who moved from a smaller phone to the 7t.
This phone is the perfect size for me. I'm coming from the Nexus 5x and with the case the 7t is not as wide and is only a tiny bit longer. The phone is thinner than the 5x.
https://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Essential-Phone,OnePlus-7T/phones/10548,11229
Here is a good comparison for you...
Dimensions
Essential 7t
5.57 x 2.80 x 0.31 inches (141.5 x 71.1 x 7.8 mm) VS 6.34 x 2.93 x 0.32 inches (160.94 x 74.44 x 8.13 mm)
I don't like big phones either but the 7t isn't bad at all. Mind you I have somewhat small hands and I'm coming from the Galaxy S8.

I also dont think its too big. Its a lil taller than what you would expect, and wide just perfect.
There are bigger devices... ?
Coming from the op3 I can say it's a bit too big for my hands (the 3 was awesomely size)
I also feel the weight difference which is a hit annoying.
If you have small hands i would look around to hold it before (or the mi9t, almost the same Size)
I have hobbit sized hands (or should stay relevant and say "baby yoda sized hands", which is what the cool kids would do). The 7T is perfect size. I'm forced to suffer with an iphone 7 for work and find it pathetically small.

I'm also coming from the (awesome) OP3, but I'm good with the 7T's size. It still fits easily in my jeans pocket, and its worth it for a huge difference in screen size (38% larger than the 3). TBH, I don't notice a weight difference at all.
I will concede that one-handing the 7T is pretty awkward, and I do miss that from the smaller 3. But that's a small negative compared to all the pluses, at least for me.
:good:
I'm torn between these 2 huge 7 inch phones. I like the black shark 3 pro cuz its got a sharp resolution the mate 20 x lacks. But the screen is not as wide as the mate 20 x. I like phones wide wide aspect ratios. But the mate 20 x is old also. So I'm torn as you see. So which do you think I should buy? The huawei mate 20 x or black shark 3 pro?
I bought the 20X last month. For its wide screen. Waited for half a year or so to see if any new phones would be released with similar dimensions and a flat screen, but it didn't happen: They all just went longer, not wider. And also more and more phones with curved screens. So I said **** it, I'm gonna get the 20X. Yes it's been around for a while now, yes it has a notch, yes it has the fingerprint scanner on the back, yes it lacks a notification led, and yes there's no double tap to wake either.. But no regrets here. I'm loving it. Got used to the size in no-time. My former phone (OnePlus 3) seems like a miniature phone now when I hold it and look at the display.
Another thing worth considering is the amount of security updates you will get from the 20X. It's already 18 months old. Also depends how much money you're handing over.
As per the title! Lost my phone a couple of days ago, had a mate 20x 5g
Back on my old mi max 3 now but should I reorder or is there anything else around?
Needs to be the same size or bigger with 5g dual Sim
I'm not asking for much right
Current UK used price with 2 year warranty is around 300 GBP
There is nothing the same size or bigger that I can find and definitely not 5G/Dual Sim. Best bet is to just buy another one. With manufacturers trying (maybe in vain) to push foldable phones it might be a while before we see another 7" standard phone.

If I were you I'd get the note 20 ultra. Its fast, has a big screen and has better resolution and specs than the 20x.
The 20x is a laggard now. There hasnt been any sec updates since 2020 and will never have one again.
The gravy train stopped running dude. Trust me, you dont want to get a mate 20x going forward into 2022

I agree, but I am looking at a new phone as well and the price difference between the 18 month old Note20 Ultra and the brand new S22 Ultra is relatively small second hand, so I am leaning more towards the S22 Ultra.
It's obviously a lot more money than the Mate 20 X but technology has moved on and the Mate 20 X is now 3.5 years old.
In the Netherlands I can get a new S22 Ultra for €850, a used Note20 Ultra for €650 and a used Mate 20 x or Mate 20 x 5G will still cost me €350 to €400.
There is nothing like this on the market, trust me I've looked. I just got one. It's a rare phone and won't work on CDMA providers. There is no phone of this size, it's the only one with this wide of a screen. The other ones are all the same width, just taller, which is useless. I need it wider for reading, that's the whole point of a bigger display. But all the big phones have the same width as the smaller ones.
I got rid of the Note 20 because it was the same size as my V30, just taller and heavier. Useless for me. Also, this doesn't support MicroSD. I had to get the phone to be sure. It only supports NM cards, which is the same size as a sim card, and it's only available up to 256GB, so you can't get more than 512GB on this device including an NM card, if you have a 256GB internal.
As of now, nothing that I want exists on the market.
xxxxxxx This is not a slow phone. Other phones are faster, but the whole point of this phone is the form factor, and this is still one of the fastest phones on the market.

You didnt look hard enough. Actually, theres a phone like the 20 x on the market called the honor x30 max. It sports the same size and similar aspect ratio as the 20 x with wide screen.

The Honor x30 Max has a 7.09" screen, which is smaller than the 7.2" screen of the Mate 20 X. The aspect ratio of the Honor x30 Max is 19:9. The Mate 20 X has a 18.7:9 aspect ratio.
Not only are you wrong about your actual statements, but also the Honor x30 Max CANNOT BE ROOTED, PERIOD (mandatory for me). It does NOT have OLED (a mandatory requirement for me). It has no expandable storage (also a requirement). Not only that, but it has mandatory 5G (which I am avoiding for my life).
Smaller, LCD (non-OLED) display. Lower-end phone. Even uses a Mediatek CPU (reserved for lower-end phones)! The Mate 20 X is a huge upgrade over the newer phone.
The new phone is a downgrade on every level - screen, quality, performance, features, efficiency.
HiSilicon Kirin 980 vs MediaTek MT6877 Dimensity 900 5G
Geekbench 4 single core3,3383,312(Android 64-bit)
Geekbench 4 multi-core9,8228,271(SGEMM)
GFLOPS performance102.1 GFLOPS93 GFLOPS(Multi-core / watt performance)
Performance / watt ratio1,637 pts / W827 pts / W
Simply put, there is NOTHING like the Mate 20 X with this size or form factor, especially not with OLED, on the market, nothing even comes close. You'll have to get a smaller, crappier phone, or sacrifice the form factor and quality and features to get a faster phone but not with a screen like this.
It's not a perfect phone, but it beats almost every phone in 2022, and competes in line with flagships. Desired features it lacks are microsd (it has nm card), 2K/4K, and high refresh rate. Also being able to unlock the bootloader on the newest OS. Other than that, there is nothing that comes close to this phone considering the OLED screen on this.

Here are the FACTS about the x30 max compared to the mate 20 x. The following is from gsmarena.com. xxxxx
BodyDimensions174.4 x 84.9 x 8.3 mm (6.87 x 3.34 x 0.33 in)174.6 x 85.4 x 8.2 mm (6.87 x 3.36 x 0.32 in)Weight228 g (8.04 oz)232 g (8.18 oz)BuildGlass front, plastic frame, plastic backGlass front (Gorilla Glass), glass back, aluminum frameSIMDual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)Hybrid Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)IP53, dust and splash protection
Stylus (optional)
DisplayTypeIPS LCD, HDR10OLED, HDR10Size7.09 inches, 125.5 cm2 (~84.7% screen-to-body ratio)7.2 inches, 130.7 cm2 (~87.6% screen-to-body ratio)Resolution1080 x 2280 pixels, 19:9 ratio (~356 ppi density)1080 x 2244 pixels, 18.7:9 ratio (~346 ppi density)ProtectionCorning Gorilla Glass (unspecified version)
So as I said before, the x30 max is a +7 inch phone which is comparable to the mate 20x. Resolution and ppi between the 2 phones are generally the same as noted. The size again is basically the same. There exists about 4 phones that I know that are +7 inches.
The 30x max may not be the exact copy of the mate 20 x but it holds its own with a huge +7 inch screen which most phones lack. One difference between the 2 is that the x30 max has 64 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), PDAF while the mate 20 x has the 40 MP, f/1.8, 27mm (wide), 1/1.7", PDAF.

How can you get s22 ultra for that price? Its 1000€+ in EU
I owned the mate 20X for more than 2 years. It’s simply the best phone I have had. Recently, I saw some phones that have 120hz. This feature is a must in any phone right now for me, so I searched all the markets with a phone that has this feature with a width of at least 80mm, but I couldn’t find any except few phones like the Honor X30 Max, but the hardware in that phone is not good. The options I was left with were either foldable phones, Iphone 13 pro max, which I don’t like, so I went with S22 Ultra.
The S22 Ultra is amazing. The 120hz is a must now for me. The camera is simply amazing compared to the Mate 20x. Speed is also noticeable, but not to the point that would push me to replace the mate.
Let’s come to the most important thing we are all talking about here which is the screen. The S22 ultra has better colors. The better resolution is noticeable for me too. However, the size is a huge no for me, and I don’t like the curve display. I have both devices next to each other now, but I still prefer the media experience on my mate20x. I am not disappointed with my s22 Ultra, but I still think the Mate is a better phone for media, writing and reading which is more important for me that the camera for example.
There might be a coming phone that may be a good alternative for the mate, but it is still a rumor: Vivo X Note

Second hand sites. These new Samsung phones are frequently part of a contract renewal and then sold on for cash.
BTW I got a Z Fold3. The S22 Ultra was just too boring for me.
I have a note 20 ultra (6.9" screen) I am selling it and moving to a mate 20x I miss mine that much.
The curved screens are trash in my opinion.
