Mi 9 is too big. I like the underscreen finger print and the design of the Mi 9 SE. The only problem is the battery life that is poor..
I go from s8 to mi9 then mi9se. Mi9 is good in performance but poor battery. Mi9se battery is much much better. And i like both of then got tele/wide angle camera

You do not miss the s8? Maybe the battery and screen of the S8 are better than that of the mi9se
Me too, I'm thinking to upgrade (or downgrade, if the word fits) my s8(exynos) to mi9se. All other new phones are too big, and quite too expensive.(Even the S10e)
My main problem with s8 is battery life and lack of developers. Will it be any better if I switch to mi9se?

I dont think it would be a downgrade tbh.
this is what I got running a xiaomi.eu 9.5.23 and okitaker custom kernel
-2 days and 4.35hrs SOT with a single charge (still having 9% so it can be a lil bit more)
Note: charging is pretty fast tho

I came from S8 and I am very happy. No drawback since I changed to MI9Se. Battery is much better, although the capacity is almost the same as S8. I have no clue why, all Samsung phone have such a bad battery management
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I get around 6 to 7 hours SOT

It's not about samsung being bad at battery management.
Newer phone = Newer battery,
Efficient cpu in comparison to s8.
There is no magic,pure logic
If gaming performance is not that important to you, trust me, you won't miss that much. Screen is basically the same, both phones are snappy but navigation is a bit different though especially the gestures (I love the One UI gestures, it's more convenient having the recent, home and back button in the same place down the screen rather than swiping the left and right on the edge of the screen). I bought the 9 SE as a secondary phone to my Galaxy S9+ because my S9+ rear camera and fingerprint module has already failed just right after the 1 year warranty period expired (just my pure luck). Having it fix here in my country cost way too much money so I just decided to get a phone with a decent camera instead until I can renew my contract from carrier next year.

Just curious, why didn't you choose pixel 3a if camera was your need? Price?

Well, Pixel phones are not officially supported or even sold in my country. I can get it in the grey market but I won't make such gamble especially if I'm spending $300 and above, warranty is important too if I will be investing that much.
Since I had my mi9se, I'll write some things that aren't noticeable without it:
1. the camera bump is really tall. 1.55mm isn't something like unnoticeable. also, its edges are sharp, so it's not a good design.
2. it's noticeably heaver than s8. my s8 without case&screen protection weighs 150g(using with really thin TPU case: 10g), and mi9se with glass screen protector but without case weighs 165g. BTW, stock TPU case is 16g, and it's not even fully covering the camera bump.
3. Fingerprint in display is cool, but not as fast as traditional ones. Though, it's not that slower compared with my unrooted S8.(using havoc ROM)
4. Proper GCam mod won't be avalable very soon, because of a bug made by xiaomi. It's snapdragon, so HDR+ process is way faster than S8, but because of that bug, pictures have a yellowish tone.
5. Custom ROM development isn't very popular for a Xiaomi device.
6. No waterproofing, and durability is unknown. If you are wondering what I'm saying, go search "jerryrigeverything" at youtube, and watch his video about xiaomi/redmi.
Now for the good part:
1. The display is very bright. Brighter than S8.
2. Having a wide angle lens is nice. Really, it's nice.
3. There definitively are developers, and we've got proper ROM(Havoc, came just in a few days ago)! yes, non-MiUI, non-GSI, proper custom ROM!
All in all, not a perfect device, but great bang for the buck.
BTW, mi cc9e is coming with a bigger battery, but I suspect it's gonna be really heavy.
In my Opinion the main reason to get a 9SE instead of a S8 is the price. So if you have to look at your money take the 9SE.
In a week the MI A3 should be purchaseable, this phone could be a choice as well. Not sure if a MI A3 Lite is gonna be released as well.

Hi all,
Merry Christmas
I've had my Tab a few month now and works perfect, apart from the camera which today I found out gives horrendous grainy image quality.
Is it just mine are are others getting the same quality? I tried cleaning lens using out of the case, holding perfectly still and also auto mode pro etc, My S8+ wipes the floor camera wise.
Very disappointed.

I thought it would of been on par with the S+8 if not better as it's a lot newer.

Its a tablet... If you are taking photos on a tablet... Apart from say Officelens - Then you need to be shot...
Just kidding (About being shot of course)
Cameras on tablets are more just for productivity and skype calls more than anything...
Nothing else
I originally had the Galaxy tab s3 and thought that was bad enough it was so slow just to search the internet or open apps, plus the camera was terrible, I got the galaxy tab s4 off eBay for 249.99 free plus shipping brand new sealed. And thought there was going to be a huge improvement in the camera, I was wrong, the tab s4's camera quality reminds me of a cheap $29.99 ZTE smartphone. It's processer is a lot faster at least, but this tablet needs drastic updates. I complained to Samsung saying that you can buy the newest generation iPad Pro 12.9 for 699.00 refurbished on Amazon, an absolutely phenomenal tablet. And bestbuy still has this tab s4 priced at 599.99! There tablets I don't know what is going on with them but Samsung does make some killer phones! My Samsung Galaxy S10 plus is amazing. I own my own photography company and It's camera is as good as my professional Nikon camera I use for photoshoots. I hope Samsung releases more updates for this tablet soon!

LOL, I asked about security updates seeing as mine is on May security update and was told that it is "the latest and most reliable update"... Since there was a MAJOR vulnerability found in July I think the next part "Security patch updates are being sent out if there are potential security vulnerabilities observed, or reported. We take security and privacy very seriously." is sort of a piss in the wind moment from Samsung...
Their phones are updated pretty fast, their tablets are left out in the cold...
I don't think there will be any major updates to the software any time soon, especially as the Tab S6 was just released... You want an upgrade then fork out $$$ for the latest and greatest...
Try using the GCam port for Snapdragon 835's it drastically improved the quality of my photos. You can get it here.

I didn't have any luck with that app with the Samsung Tab S4. But the Samsung Galaxy S10 camera app seems to help, It may also improve the Tab S3's camera situation. Then again anything is an improvement with the Tab S3 lol. The link is below.

Bought a Meizu 16T during black friday day for $282 at Meizu Online Store on Aliexpress. The phone arrived today.
First impression:
+ It feels really light and comfortable in the hand (183g), Its made of plastic which I prefer over glass.
+ As usual on phones from Meizu the build quality is great.
+ Nice notchless design. Got the purple version which I like a lot.
+ The screen is big and vibrant. I really like the 18.6 aspect ratio. Wider than most other phones which is great when reading. Hate super-tall phones.
+ Most phones from meizu are a bit laggy (due to poor software optimization) but this phone feels really fast.
- No global firmware yet which is a big problem. I am on Flyme 8.0.0.0A. It was easy to install google services and play store but several apps do not work (Netflix, HBO etc).
Does anyone else have this phone?

To my knowledge, there is no custom rom support yet. However, the phone has just been released so there is a good chance that their will be some custom roms in the future.
BTW, several different gcam mods work out of the box on 16T. I played around with a couple of different mods yesterday. However, almost all of them suffer from some problems like low color saturation. The stock camera seems to be decent but a custom made gcam mod for 16T would be fantastic.

No, it was probably some smudges on the screen when I took the photo (alternatively just reflections). The screen is in perfect condition.
I just found a working version of Netflix for 16T:
https://consumer.huawei.com/en/comm...s-Apps]Working-Netflix-Version/topicId_38359/
A experimental version of MoKee Rom for 16T is now available.
https://reameizu.com/how-to-flash-m...0KUb_OZP2giyMCWQlkElkGBTbI_sU7D_4K9tUl3IIPaoI
However, I will wait until a more stable version is released before I go through the hassle of trying to install this in on my phone.
Thx for posting this. Very intriguing phone. Really the only issue is software. Well, also the mediocre camera. Anyway it's price : performance ratio is unrivaled so it should be popular with a lot of techies. Custom roms should follow suit. And hopefully a custom gcam also. I might take a chance on this thing.
In Flyme, do you get full English menus when the system language is set to English? Some reviews on Aliexpress seem to indicate it's a mix of both Chinese and English. But I'm guessing they must be referring to Meizu specific apps.

Yes, the menu is fully in English except for the "Flyme labratory" sub menu (which is not important anyway). I have been using 16T now 3 months. I like it as much now as I did when I wrote my first impressions review. The most important advantage for me is the width of the screen. The with of 16T is 78mm compared to 74-76 mm which is the width used for most other "large" phones. It really makes a difference, you get a much better viewing experience compared to these super tall phones which are fashionable nowadays. Another advantage is the lightness, it feels much lighter in the hand compared to all phones I have tried/used for the last 2 years. However, if you are okay with a heavy phone and 20:10 ratio I would buy something else (like a Redmi K30). MIUI is better than Flyme and the camera is probably way better on K30 .
It is currently for € 330, do you recommend it to a friend who does not know about smartphones but keeps them for a long time? (Currently he has a mi5!) I see that it already has Android 10.

Would not recommend this phone to a beginner due to some problems with google service compatibility. The stock rom on this phone have android 9 (not 10).
I am still using this phone as my daily driver. I have bought and sold a lot of different phones lately second hand (Xiaomi Mi Note 10, Huawei P30, Redmi Note 9S etc). However, I have not yet find a better phone than 16T. All other phones I have tried lately feel much worse in the hand (too heavy) and have to narrow screens. IMO if this phone had a global firmware and a better camera it would be the perfect phablet.
Hello. I was considering buying this as my daily phone. Problem for me is the rom, as I am not too fond of the flyme os. Have anyone of you tried this custom rom (GSI)
Lineage 17
https://gearallnews.com/how-to-install-lineage-os-17-gsi-for-meizu-16t-android-10/
Lineage 17.1
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/lineageos-17-1-meizu-16t/
AOSP Android 10
https://www.getdroidtips.com/android-10-meizu-16t/
From what I understand (GSI - Generic System Image) is like an all-in-one rom (correct me if I’m wrong) that works with Android 9 that supports Project Treble.
Seeing this is a relatively new device, i think there is no post here on xda on custom roms for this device. Have anyone of you tried this method? As I do not have a way to test/confirm its validity (No actual unit yet). If you want to try it just remember to try it at your own risk.
Also I don’t know if it’s a fake site or whatnot so beware.
I have this phone and flashed Mokee as they already have a stable release. I just mustered the courage to follow the youtube vid here.
What I liked about Mokee is that it has built in call recording just like in the stock rom (flyme). It also boots quick (less than half a minute) just like the stock rom.
However the full functionality of the camera doesn't work unless you download GCam (tried many versions until one works with 4K60 video in hevc encoding).
Also the onscreen fingerprint scanner is a little iffy and sometimes would lock up the screen if it doesn't work for some unknown reason.
After seeing Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, I'm floored by how much OnePlus has descended into disappointment with the 9 series. I'm thinking of returning my 9 for Ultra, seen what Xiaomi is offering for the same price of a Pro, is just incredible. Hell I'm questioning why I'm continuing to support OnePlus when I see how much Samsung is valuing the mid-tier and how much Oppo and Xiaomi are stepping up with their flagships. OnePlus seems to being completely lazy and disappointing in both price categories.
IRONICALLY THE Xiomi 11 Ultra photos look more natural color and definitely has more detail.
Wide, OP9 has slightest edge
Telefoto? 11 absolute OP9 destruction, annihilated.
Selfie? Best camera (11 has rear screen to use rear camera) vs the worst selfie camera? I mean really, I think OP9/Pro have the worst front camera among all their competitors.
Night photos? Xiaomi win again
Screen? Seems to be best right now with 1700 nit brightness Dolby VIsion support. The 9 Pro screen is gimmick.
Better materials. Gorilla Glass Victus, Ceramic etc.
So far Xiaomi 11 doesn't overheat taking photos.
OnePlus seems they think they are on easy street and don't have to try any more. Even though Samsung is constantly innovating, OnePlus isn't even doing the minimum right. Man I want the OnePlus from the 3T and 6T series back again.
They clearly can't play with the big boys in the flagship game. Just give it up and do better in the mid tier, cause it seems they are failing there too. Just unnecessarily gimping their mid tier to boost their flagship which really isn't flagship, it's really mid-tier with flagship price. 8 Pro seemed to me the same thing, mid-tier phone with overhyped flagship price.
Totally agree with you. Mi 11 ultra is better option than 9 pro

Definitely disagree here based on reading online, but since I can't hold the phone to confirm, I will never truly know. I think both are great phones though. Not a fan of the Mi 11 OS either.
Been using mi 10 ultra for 6 months (just switched to 9pro few days). I can confirm mi 10 ultra took better photos than onepus 9 pro, so I believed mi 11 ultra can also do a better job. The only reason I don't want to buy mi 11 ultra cause of shape, IT SO ****ING BIG. Hope oneplus may improve after some updates, if not, i'll return to xiaomi

9 Pro will have better dev support which is a must for the hot chip (SD888). And according to reviews. 9 Pro takes better pictures. 11 Ultra gets hot fast especially in the huge camera bump area then drops brightness forcefully to 50%. China software is bloated, MIUI is catroon-ish and iOS copycat. Secondary display is a useless gimmick. 9 pro takes better pictures from main sensor and ultra wide (imx766) is better that the older imx5xx in the 11 ultra. 11 ultra is only better in telephoto but Samsung S21 Ultra is even better (10X vs 5X) 11 Ultra is just overrated, overhyped and overpriced phone and it's a downgrade from the Mi 10 Ultra (slower charging, worse telephoto and overheating). 9 Pro also has a better and more advanced LPTO panel. Picture quality from the overhyped and oversized Samsung GN2 sensor are disappointing (Samsung are known to oversize things like exynos chips for example). Samsung sensor isn't a match for Sony sensors and bigger sensor doesn't necessarily mean better picture quality. I might get an 11 Ultra if it gets AOSP or lineage os and a good custom kernel but that probably never going to happen.
How many topics will there be about O+ becoming bad Vs Samsung Vs Xiaomi etcetc.
We are on a dedicated subchannel that deals with O+ devices, and especially 9 Pro here.
Isn't it possible to concentrate every posts about this on a dedicated posts where guys can trash on it without creating so many new topic ?? How many of users here already created topic about that subject
I'm just attacking anyone here, but a new O+ user, I'm just fed up with those comparisons. I never would have the idea to go in another brand subtopics and creating a post just to criticize ...
Mi11 ultra is about the numbers. Sounds Good, but in real life... Not so much.
The price is Huge! The phone is heavy. The camera is not the best. 120x zoom is BS.
It does Not charge faster than OnePlus 9 Pro (kind of the best in charging. Wired & wireless).
Mi11 gets hot. The updates are alot slower than Op. You get open beta once a month in Xiaomi? And Stable rom once at two monts.
Other Horrible thing about Xiaomi. One price for China (Good price) and for Europa/America the price Grows Big. I mean Big!
And about how bad is the camera on OnePlus. You can find youtube videos with comparision. I watch one with Op 9pro - S21 Ultra - Iphone 12 max. Op got 8 points, s21 9 points, iphone 9 points. How is that Soo Bad ?!?
The Haselblad partnership just began & is just software for now.
Maybe Op 10 will have Haselblad lens.
Oxygen OS is known to be one of the clean-best Android os.
I was on my mind for a while, but i couldn't take the laggy interface of NOT FUNTOUCH OS anymore and the awful inconsistent battery life anymore, which is kinda of a big shame as the camera ROCKS and is better than any phone out there easily(except the Mate 40 Pro+).
So, yesterday i've bought the ROG6 after many thoughts and here is my conclusion so far:
-Let's start with the not so good that all the reviewers have been pointing out... The Camera!
It ain't that bad, it actually quite good and useful during daylight and less during nighttime, but it's still doing the job.
Yes it ain't touching the X80 Pro, not by miles and miles and miles... but it's more than serviceable specially selfies.
-Battery+Speakers+Performance+Battery Life are TOP NOTCH!
I've got 8.10hr before battery reached 5%, and while it seems to be "low" since it has 6000mah, keep in mind that it was the first boot in which i've transferred all the data from the vivo, restored whatapp backups, played some games, installed YouTube, updates and had it all under 165hz all the time, so first impression of the battery is excellent( probably can get easily 10-11hr with 144/120hz usage).
Performance ****s all over x80 pro besides it being SUPER FAST, it did one thing that no android that i ever owned has ever done... CLOSING BACKGROUND APPS, it did NONE of it, all my apps were in the background and never reloaded, i'm still shocked tbh( outside some oddities like Tinder and OKCUPID, which android really hates).
Speakers are punchy, bassy and have good balance of volume, and you can force an "outside mode" that will make them very loud at some expense of the sound quality.
The screen is FHD+ but it's gorgeous, not matching the vivo or high-end Samsung screens but it's very good.
Asus has just 3 preinstalled apps and clean android, it boots and loads everything so fast that i miss it sometimes.
In conclusion, for now, it is the Vivo X80 Pro we deserve but never got!!!

I used Mate 40 Pro before and I have to say its camera is very good for both day and night situations. Just wonder how good is the Mate 40 Pro Plus's camera as you said here compared to X80 Pro? (you said x80 pro is better over most of the phones except the Mate 40 Pro Plus)
How about P50 Pro? have you have any chances to test it or use it?
Currently I'm still using S22U. Although the camera is not in the same level as Huawei in night mode, I found that its portrait mode is superior, especially 3x zoom portrait mode. The photos came out can be compared with my Nikon and Canon DSLR in terms of portrait (not kidding, I'm so surprised). So I guess I'll keep this S22U because I don't have any problem with lag, heating, or battery. I heard that the new update coming up in August can fix the shutter lag problem of the camera (my main issue currently). So if it's true then I would be really happy with my choice. Will look at x80 pro when the software is more stable in the future and the price dropped at least $100-200 more.
Mate 40 pro 50mp ai mode is unmatched, the vivo is much better during nighttime and slightly better zoom.
But overall the X80 pro phone as a whole is a disaster atm, not recommended.
I told you !!
Asus rocks ...
If they would spend a tad more on the camera and less on a backdisplay that's kinda useless and just have a faux leather back which would include Wireless charge then it would be a STRONG contender for any Android Flagship device.
Enjoy ....

Haha you were so ****ing right!
ASUS should make a combo of rog with zenphone with minimum gaming features.
Just customization of the software and hardware.
Outside the camera and screen, the ROG6 feels so far ahead of the vivo x80 pro it's not funny
Second day of using the phone, 165hz 1d 1hr 9.15hr sot!
That's how you do battery and don't excessively close background apps all the time, even with 12gb ram.
I'll keep the x80 pro for the camera and to see if Vivo can fix there awful software.
Had my trusty s21 ultra since day 1 .im liking the fold 4 but my main gripe is battery life m what are you guys getting . on my s21 ultra still to this day i am getting excellent batt life
battery life is excellent.
Same here, came from S21 Ultra, but the folds battery life is at least on par if not better. That's after using it for a good week.

any screens ? plz
Haven't tested it fully, but played a game in two sessions in parallel after work (split screen) from 6pm till 9pm. Pretty resource hungry game. And lost 22% of battery. That's on par with my S21U, but there only a smaller screen and only 1 game session.
I also jumped from S21U to Fold 4. I'm only three days in, so I'm still in the adjustment period. For me, battery life so far hasn't been as good, but it's not far off. If it helps, I've made it through three days of use, probably elevated use given the usual setup tasks. I expect that once the learning period ends and I've done some tuning that it'll be right around the same. And even if it's not quite as good, the benefits of the device outweigh any loss in battery life to me.
Same here s21 ultra to. Fold 4. Battery on par maybe slightly less but considering what the battery is running screen wise I'm good with it. Missing my 10x zoom a little but so far love this next device ture new phone not just a candy bar upgrade

How long are you on the FOLD and do you use it as your daily phone? Did you give it the time to 'learn' and adjust the battery to your usage? I now get about 23-24 hours between chargers with 5 hours of SOT and most of my correspondence and browsing on the inner screen. Yes, the S21 Ultra had a good battery life, the FOLD is not far of it though.
Also jumped from S21U to F4. The first few days, maybe the first week, battery life was noticeably worse. Not massively, but enough to notice. I fiddled with some sleep settings and after the AI did it's thing the last 3-4 days have been almost as good as the S21U, just a hair worse. I get through a full day with around 30-40% left now (S21U was closer to 50%). That's without doing anything drastic... a few apps disabled, but no rooting, and I don't even think I did any ADB disables this time, just straight on-device. I'm running 4-6 SOT for that BTW.
Also just switched from a S21 U to the Fold 4. The camera setup is weaker but only marginally, in nearly 2 years of owing the S21 U the x10 zoom lens was hardly used, so isn't missed, and the x3 optical lens is pretty close to the S21U.
The loss of the x10 optical lens however is more than made up for by the massive screen realestate and the multitasking functionality. Only had the Fold for a few days, but the amount of additional productivity is mind blowing, its a game changer for me.
Battery life has been great for me, its actually outlasted the S21 U. Very happy so far .

Any screen shots of battery life?
Also how long before you charge.

I charge to 85% most days, 100->0% would be around 6hrs+ screen on time. That's doing a bit of everything, including some gaming via an emulator.
