A few of the Chinese resellers have this listed already around the £650-700 mark which seems like good value for the spec. I bought a Find X2 Pro recently in the same way and got on well with it but ended up sticking with the P40 Pro I had as I thought it was slightly too big. The X50 Pro+ seems to have the same dimensions almost as P40 Pro. Really like the look of the 'leather' version.
Anyone else thinking of getting it?
I am also thinking of getting it, or a find x2 pro myself. I had a mate 30 pro 5g which was really nice and despite lack of Google it worked well for 90% of my normal apps. As much as I dislike funtouch os,at least iets you autostart more apps which makes using the phone in the US easier vs oppo which I think still limits to 5 apps autostart.
Looks like the Vivo IQOO 5 and 5 Pro are better options, for me at least. Both variants support B28 and B20 (unlike the Vivo X50 Pro+) and that's important to people in Europe. Both have the Samsung GN1 sensor just like the X50 Pro+. And it's weird but the non-pro IQOO 5 has a bigger battery - 4500mAh vs 4000mAh of the 5 Pro and 4350mAh of the X50 Pro +.
Prices:
(From Giztop dot com)
Vivo X50 Pro+ $839.00/€713.15
Vivo IQOO 5 Pro $859.00/€730.15
Vivo IQOO 5 $689.00/€585.65

I actually have a Redmi Note 5 Pro, and I have no idea to what upgrade ... Was looking for Mi9 or Mi9T Pro, since I use smartphone for photo and gaming. So need atleast 855 snap and a good camera... Since 5G is coming, I don't know if now it's good to upgrade or it's better to wait
Is it proper for me to politely ask here, if Everyone can either
a) (preferred, I'd think)
create a new sub-directory for each model
or b) in EVERY post, please say, redmi note 9 Pro Global/Indian/Max
I just purchased one, using on AT&T in Florida, and am EXTREMELY confused.
The phone is running great, but the different models and monikers are driving me crazy.
PS: has the redmi note 9 Pro (global) been rooted yet?
(is it easy? Hard?)
thanks
You´re absolutely right, I find it very confusing too. I´ve just ordered a Redmi Note 9 Pro, but it seems I will be getting the Pro Max (which is good), but it wasn't even advertised as Max.
Here's an overview of the differences between the Pro and the Pro Max:
https://www.androidauthority.com/redmi-note-9-pro-vs-redmi-note-9-pro-max-1095780/
Xiaomi are spectacularly good at totally unconventional naming of their products. I found a great YouTube video that does a good job of revealing just how confusing it all is here:
"OP9 Pro Vs Vivo X60 Pro+" Pros/Cons
X60 Pro+
Pros:
1. Camera Setup and Overall Quality
Cons:
1. In compare to OP9, Missing stereo Speakers
2. Missing Wireless Charging Support
3. Missing IP68 Rating ( due to vegan leather back)
What do you think???
Is the Vivo X60 Pro+'s bootloader unlockable? If not that's a major "Con"
Also there is a very bad support for vivo on xda and that's why I bought the 9 pro.
Definitely more XDA development for the OnePlus series...

Not sure if that's a buying point for a normal user which uses phone for 3 year and switch to something else...
X60 & X60 Pro was announced yesterday in Hong Kong. CPU changed. No longer using Samsung exynos 1080 (Mainland China version) but Snapdragon 870.
However, I still prefer OnePlus.
I would like to know if it's anyone here who came from 8 Pro. Is it even worth it ? What is your experience ? These devices are so similar to each other that I'm trying to find differences. I would buy 9 Pro for the camera but reviews are pretty mixed. What do you think?
I did and not a whole lot of difference in feel. I like the 9 Pro's latest cameras, processor / GPU, 5G, Warp Speed....

I came from a oneplus 8 pro and outside of loving the matte finish on the 8, there's not much difference at all. I do love the faster wireless charging. That alone makes it worth it, lol.
If money is not a problem, yes. You buy it for youre plesure.
It is not a BiG difference between them. And maybe 10 pro will have Haselblad lens (price could be scary).
Me, i want to buy 9 pro, then sell 8 pro. Just for fun. i'm hunting for a good deal. Just like i did from 7 pro to 8 pro.
I just got a deal (589 Euro) & bought Vivo x80 Pro 12/256 Gb, new, full box. Mine is global with FuntouchOS & SnapDragon processor.
Beautifull phone. Very nice design. Is a little slippery.
The phone have protecion on the screen from factory. I don't like curved screen. At all ! But i can live with it.
Comming from Oneplus (since 2015) i was afraid of difference of OS. But Funtouch have all those gestures/features that i like on OxygenOS.
Phone have a lot of bloatware. I uninstalled almost all of them. remaining 2, 3 i force stop & disabled.
The camera is considerably better than Oneplus.
Funtouch OS 13 works fine for me. I was nervous about bluetooth on A13. On Oxygen 13 not working. But on Vivo works fine.
I want to buy a 50w Vivo wireless charger, to save usb port.
Before this Vivo x80 Pro i use 8, 9 days a Samsung s22 Ultra, european (Exynos creap). S22 is a little puke, garbage compared to x80! The internet was full of horrible advertising. I try dns.adguard.com, Adaway, Blokada, nextdns. With any of these internet was a nightmare ! Slow like a 2010 phone. Bleah !!! Why the hell this garbage costs 1200 euro?..
Honestly, the x80 pro with Dim9000 and origin os is the best phone I've ever had. Why?
- best camera I've ever had
- incredible charging time
- no battery drain at all (I'm getting nearly 2 days out of the battery: reddit, messenger, camera, youtube, web browsing, stock monitoring, podcasts - I'm not a hardcore user)
- bloatware is removable
- fast as oneplus
- chinese version with call recording function
I've never been keen on notifications all day - it's me having the control when to look at the phone, do not want to get disturbed the whole day with notification pop-ups. I have never used google car or hey google commands. All issues have been tackled by Vivo. The only thing what makes me nervous: it's chinese hardware... let's see where politics head the next years.
Before you buy a Vivo, you need to be interested in getting to know the settings in detail - you need to understand the energy saving settings and other stuff, so Vivo is not working like an iPhone "out of the box" - but this is also a great opportunity to learn more about the operating system...
Phone history:
Samsung S2
Samsung Note 4
iPhone 6
iPhone 6s
Oneplus 5/iPhone 11
Vivo x80 pro
-> After Oneplus and Vivo I will never go back to Samsung. Worse than iPhone.
