I blame the early rush to 5G and Qualcomm forcing everyone to buy the models with 5G modems, be internal or external.
I might honestly get the best bang/buck 4G phone later this summer before the 5G craze settles in the upper midrange segment and we're forced to suffer horrible battery life and overheating chipsets like every single first gen of phones with a new cell technology, and this time for no real life gains.
Yeah, that and resetting all wifi/celullar/bt configs... apparently either that should work (it didnt) or I will need to factory reset the phone which I will do later today.
Haven't tried it myself, but that doesn't seem like a bad deal at all. Overall reviews seem pretty positive and it's widely regarded as Xiaomi's first true flagship.
I always say that YMMV with Xiaomi phones, mostly due to MIUI, but since you are coming from a Pocophone then you're already used to it for better or wose.
Flossy seems to really like it (Major Major Major go). White Shoes approved.
I'm still kicking myself for not buying one in December, to be honest.
So I just received my OnePlus 7 Pro and this is a wonderful phone. I don't see myself needing an upgrade for quite some time, this has everything I want on a phone. The speed is off the charts and the absence of a notch is sooo good. And 90Hz is the shit.
lol nice. thx for the reply! yeah, my bad. i meant the mi note 10 pro smfh. damn confusing xiaomi naming lol. it's not nearly as nice as the mi10pro but i'm still excited for it.
Ah. It's got a nice display and the cameras are much better than the Poco F1 for sure. Performance might be a bit of a downgrade though.
yeah, i don't really game too much on mobile so a bit of a downgrade isn't the end of the world, but i sure do love a great battery and camera, so hope it's as good as the hype in those areas.
Speaking of Xiaomi, has anyone here with a Xiaomi device had trouble logging into their PSN accounts recently, either from Chrome or the apps like Second Screen or Remote Play?
I was logged out about a week ago, and trying to log back in gives me a 'server timed out' error. I can log in fine from my PC, using the same network. It's truly bizarre.
I think a factory restore might be in order. If not, it could be a hardware problem.

So after 3 and half years, my Gear S3 is on its last legs.
I was wondering should I buy the Galaxy Watch now or hold out for the New Galaxy Watch?
I depend on my smart watch on a day to day basis so would be difficult to hold out until August (at the earliest)

If you just do fitness/health tracking, I think one of the cheap xiaomi mi bands should be fine. Personally, I think it would make sense to wait until all the big 2020 smart watches are released before making a decision.
Since I also own a Samsung watch, what caused yours to die?

Factory reset worked yay!
On a side note, I found out that, at least on Android 10, you can use the USB-C connection with an ethernet adapter to connect to the internet via cable which was great. Used it to backup all the Whatsapp conversations before factory resetting.
I bought mine in January. Update is probably not going to be that major. Maybe it'll add ECG and stuff, but if that's worth the added cost is up for debate. The current Watch gets some great deals, so that's also a factor.
Worst I can get is three days if I wear it day and night and keep AOD on, except for when I sleep.
Report says the Galaxy Note 20 is “significantly bigger” than the Note 10
The push for 5G will make even the Galaxy Note bigger this year.

Damn, maybe should have waited for the Note 20 Plus
Realmi X2 Pro a thousand times. It's basically a Oneplus 7t running color OS.
They took down the preorder but it looks like it's going to come with WF-1000XM3 as a preorder bonus.

Significantly bigger Note is good but I will not update my Note 9 for an O bezel one
The thing I need the most is a new laptop, my Note 9 is better than my Yoga 720 in everything except the screen size

Do you have the Galaxy Watch 2? Can you see if there's a Nike Run Club app and if it works? I'm doing a lot of exercises with that app lately because I want to hit 10 Km for my bd next month and at least a semi-marathon for my 33yo next year
My original plan of holding out two years for flagship phones to move past notches and punchholes is looking more dire by the day. I don't think my Note 9's battery is going to continue being an all-day battery for another year, but I desparately don't want to buy a phone with a hole in the screen.
Yeah, I think the only SD865 with a popup camera is the Poco F2. It's a shame that OnePlus got infected as well. After the beauty of the OP 7 Pro, it's a shame to see them ruin that beautiful display. The OP8 Pro would be pretty much perfect otherwise.
Interestingly, gaming phones are the only phones left with bezels housing the front facing camera, though the neon green LEDs gamer aesthetic really turns me off.
Maybe the ROG III will end up being interesting.
Don't forget about the Xperia 1 II.
This is the first time I've heard of this, seems hyper-focused on phone photography and not much else, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it worked for Google after all. But damn, at first blush this phone looks pretty damn sexy. No notch/punchhole, true stereo speakers, 21:9 screen, headphone jack, dedicated fingerprint reader,this thing ticks all the hardware boxes for me except perhaps for a high refresh-rate screen.
I know next to nothing about Sony Android phones, how have Xperia phones been received in the last few years? And what flavor of Android are they using? Do they have their own skin, or is it stock?

Yep, imo the best phone I've ever had and kind of surprised to see negative comments on it in here.
Be sure to put the newest gcam port on it with the Astro mode.
Only minor issue I had shortly after getting it was battery life seemed a bit short, but I think it just needed a break in. Lasts all day no problem now. I did have to optimize some apps instead of using the intelligent control, it's good about letting you know which apps are running in the background and draining battery though so it's easy to improve battery life by switching them to optimize mode.
They don't skin their phones anymore.
It's probably a pretty good phone, though you have to pay to play. Like you said, it has a heavy emphasis on photography, but it's more of a 'pro' phone, compared to the point and shoot approach of most phones like the iPhone or the Pixel.
Here's an early hands-on video with its cameras

I use GCAM on my Mi 9T Pro (which has the same sensor on the main cam, the Sony IMX586, as the OnePlus 7 family and the OP8) and it is miraculous how much it improves image quality, colors, white balance and dynamic range compared to the stock camera. It's really stricking.
Only problem with GCam is that it doesn't have perspective correction on the ultrawide (because no Pixel phone has ever had an ultrawide, presumably, so no reason for them to implement that feature) so while image quality is miles better than the stock camera, they come out distorted around the edges.
I presume the stock camera of the OP 7 Pro is better than the stock camera of the Mi 9T Pro, despite having similar hardware.
There's a ton of ports, but the best one for the IMX 586 is probably Urnyx05's. It has support for all 3 cameras out of the box, two, and custom profiles for the OnePlus 7 Pro.
That is not wise, with oneplus not honoring warranty for not og purchaser, and the plenty of reports of display issues of op8 pro
I legit can't believe I'm almost going to own my 6T for 2 years and even then I still don't feel the actual NEED to upgrade to a newer phone. This phone has honestly been one of the best phones I've ever owned. It is still smooth, getting updates, and my battery life still holds up almost two years later. The only shitty thing is the haptic engine imo. I'm taking the wait and see approach to see if there's going to be a 8T and see what that offers.
Hi all, I'm a long term lurker and I'm looking for a bit of advice.
My wife's contract is coming to an end she currently has an S9. We've always been a bit of a Samsung family but the S20 is way over priced and even the S10 is still pricey. The Oneplus is only available on contract through 3 and I'm not impressed with their coverage (my current contract is with 3).
So in my search for a cheap (under £30 a month) alternative I've been looking at Huawei and Honour 20 pro. I know the Huawei doesn't have Google so that rules it out.
So that leaves the Honor 20 pro... It's cheap and looks like a pretty good phone on paper. I can't seem to find a definitive answer if it has Google play store though.
So TL;DR does anyone have an Honor 20 pro? And what is your experience like?

between the Oneplus 7t pro and the oneplus 8
which one is better? (the price is kinda the same here)
My doubst are
OP7t pro
- better screen
- doesnt have notch
OP 8
- better processor
- flat screen and matte back design (i dont like the dual edge curve display on phones)

Honor 20 was the last Google certified phone before the trade restrictions. There have been other Huawei phones with Google apps and services since, but those are rebranded/recycled older models with slightly updated specs (see: P30 Pro "New Edition").
There are a bunch of new phones being released by OPPO (Find X2 Neo/Lite) around this time. You might be able to get those on a contract under £30.
Wow. Night Mode is worth the hype. Took this picture on my front porch with my S20+, no lights except a tiny bit of the indoor light from my living room spilling out, but otherwise extremely dark outside.
Coming from my S8, whose camera still impressed me honestly, this is amazing.

I'd probably go with the 8 as someone who just got a 7 Pro (on a great sale).
I definitely prefer flat/flatter screens. I liked my S10e a lot so going back to a phone with edges as curved as the 7 Pro is kind of annoying (glare, accidental touches, etc.).
Not having a notch/hole-punch is nice on the 7, but the auto-brightness sucks and I'm guessing that's part of the problem.
I got used to the S10e's hole-punch camera really quickly, and the OnePlus 8's looks even smaller.
Thinking of getting the Xperia 1 II but noticed it doesn't support band 71. How much of a problem would that be? I'm in LA and using tmobile.
T-Mobile has bigger chunks of band 71, so you might be missing on some speed. Also, better signal in buildings because 600 Mhz.

My Exynos Note 9 camera is bad, very bad, very very bad
