I am considering of buying this phone, but I am concerned about software update since I dont want to get stuck with Marshmallow forever. and I dont want to deal with custom roms. (dont have the time or patience for that)
So, will this phone receive Nougat?
Don't buy mi5s. Xiaomi doesn't support this model like mi5 or mi max. Still no regular updates released.
Thank you. It seems odd that older model is supported and newer model is not. In that case I will not buy the device. I was planning to hold on to it for about 2-3 years and there is no way I am going to get stuck with Android 6 for that long.
What about the Redmi note 4X? Any chance for this phone to get Nougat?
Have you thought about the mi6?

I did, but I wont buy it for 2 reason
1. Its way more expensive than the mi5s.
2. It doesnt have a global rom yet and I assume it will take some time until it does
For the price of the mi6, I would rather get the OP3t which is cheaper and already updated to latest android

My only concern is the camera
the question is in the title ^^, for precision, i would say that, since i have a phone, i use custom roms, the last i had was the samsung galaxy s5, the thing is that, custom roms have recurrent bugs on this device, we had to wait a long time to get a "stable" oreo rom on it, for example, camera and fingerprint were not working for a moment..
so i want to know if roms are stable and smooth on this phone, thanks

If you want custom roms etc just buy a OnePlus or Xiaomi device they're very popular among developers
oneplus are too expansive for me, but yea i heard that roms are perfect on this, and wich one xiaomi should i go with ? i know that xiomis are chinese phones, but do they work well on french bandwidths ?
i see that there's a **** ton of roms on the redmi note 4 "mido", the price is really low

Reason I don't recommend you to jump on the Pixel is not much development is going on, The Device will be EOL on P so Major updates will stop some of the newer budget devices will still have that 2 years OS support and much more custom roms that you're after I think it'll be a better buy, Pixel XL isn't a bad buy by any means just I think better value for your situation is to be had on other devices
Which bands do you need? If you buy from official Xiaomi French store should have your bands but check before buying anything
https://buy.mi.com/fr/buy/product/redmi-note-5
https://www.mi.com/fr/mi-a2/
Mi A2 was just announced will come soon is running Android One, updates should be inline with Pixel Line will have a ton of developement just like the Mi A1 you can see here
Redmi Note 5 also great device a lot of development can see here

The pro is just named that way in other markets I think in india is called the "Redmi Note 5 Pro" But in Europe it's called "Redmi Note 5" Same device just different name

I am looking to buy a used Marlin as well. The price is much lower then the two phones suggested here. Does anyone have any comments or recommendations? My budget is around $200 USD.

If it has to be a Marlin make sure you buy a non Verizon model as they block bootloader unlock can be a pita to get it unlocked
last I saw you had to pay like $30 to some shady guy to remotely unlock through team viewer...

How likely is it to get custom ROM support for OnePlus 7T? Since the 7 is still far behind in number of custom ROMs. Many popular ROMs doesn't support the 7. What do you all think?

My guess is that some ROMs, Magisk ones in particular, will continue to work on the 7T. xXx's ROM works all the way back to the 5/5T. I imagine it'll end up working on the 7T.
Is custom rom support likely to be far higher on OP 7T Pro than OP 7T ?

Op7t will be released worldwide just like op7 pro. Whereas op7t pro will not be released in US (except mclaren). So if you want custom rom support either get op7t or op7pro(non t).

Yes if I buy OnePlus I will buy the 7T as opposed to 7T Pro. Thanks for clarifying.
If I buy OP 7T, I will use OxygenOS for the first 2 years and then switch to Custom Rom for the final 3rd year of usage.
Anyone else planning to buying and using for 3 years minimum ?

I usually keep my phone for two years. I'm on the Pixel 2 XL now and I'm planning on getting the oneplus 7t this week. The pixel 4xl looks like it's going to be about $1,400 CDN dollars and that's too much. When I get the 7t, I will unlock the bootloader, so if I want to root it afterwards, I can.

I've never tried OxygenOS, but everything I've read sounds good, so I'll definitely stay on it for awhile. I've tried most of the custom ROMs on my pixel, but now on Android 10, I'm on stock and I like it.

I would not recommend switching to the OP 7 or 7T from pixel if you are on pixel for the camera. The disappointment is real LOL although EVERYTHING else about the OP7 is better then the pixel (I had P2XL and P3XL) the camera is really really bad. Just a heads up!

I found someone today here in Toronto who is selling his oneplus 7 pro, brand new, sealed in the box for $550 CDN. I'm going to pick it up this afternoon. This is too good to be true. I'm not going to pass up the 7 pro and this price to get the 7t later this week.
Guys, all the details are now revealed of OnePlus 7T (check XDA site for all details). What do you guys think now of custom ROM support for 7T? Will it end up with low development like OnePlus 7?

You could run Magisk ROMs like xXx on the all variants down to the 5. That will likely continue as the 7T are just upgraded versions of the 7 and 6T. You may just have to look in the other forums. If you're looking for a full ROM, that may be a different story.
I'm jumping and putting my 7 Pro up for sale next month. Hate the curved screen. Every time I use it and it does something weird, I keep thinking back to the old Apple idiocy of "you're holding it wrong."
Just wondering if anyone else was struggling with the decision to get the 70 versus the 4XL. I am on Verizon, grandfathered unlimited data. All I care about is having an unlocked phone. I'm currently on the Pixel 2 XL, and ready for an upgrade, but not sure which direction to go. What are your guys thoughts? All I really care about is having a fast phone with a good battery

Just curious, why do you think that? One plus should have better or equivalent specs
Honestly if camera is super important to you, go pixel hands down. If you just wanna be a spec fanatic, OnePlus.
Personally, I'll always go pixel simply because specs aren't everything. Just something to brag about.
Pixel 4 will have the better camera. At least this time they're also going with 6gb ram. Just comes down to pricing.

Lol yea they have very good specs for price. Since it's their 10th anniversary phone I'm hoping for some solid specs including high refresh rate screen. Who knows might even have under display selfie cam.

People already complaining about the 7T. I might wait for Xiaomi Mi 10 tbh and use it until late 2022
If I can't wait I might just get Galaxy Note 10 (non plus).

People don't like the camera hump for example and that the OnePlus 7 Pro is an overall better phone.

For what it offers its fantastic, unless you are a camera enthusiast.
Camera on pixel will be sublime. Perfect colour reproduction.
But battery (so long as you can deactivate ,90hz)
Will be superior on the OnePlus.
Pixels always have crap battery.

If I can get a new OnePlus 7 Pro 6GB for the same retail price as the new OnePlus 7T 8GB (₹38k), which one would be better? At the same time I can get the new 7T for less than ₹ 32k. Please note:

The McLaren edition will have 12GB I'd assume and that will affect battery life, complete overkill, 6GB is probably more than enough, 8GB is the sweet spot and honestly the most I'd get in a phone for now at least, unless the battery was substantially larger and apps actually utilized it which at the moment they just don't.
If it's also 5G then it'll greatly affect battery life.
The range on 5G and ability to pass through walls etc is awful, so if the phone is forcing power to the antenna to get a good connection your battery will deplete a lot faster.
4G and 8GB is perfect.

6000mAH battery and the air triggers had had me tilt towards the ROG. But then I don't game that much. And battery results of the ROG aren't that much better, probably thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate(and the in-the box-charger is what, 18W ?). And camera performance is important for me. Hence chose the 7T like all you guys here.
What screen protectors and cases are you guys using, those who have got the phone already ? Mine is coming tomorrow.
