mate 8 or lg v10??? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys ,
should i go for the lg v10 or the mate 8 ???
both has large screens
but i saw on videos that the mate 8 beats the lg v10 in the performance
the camera of lg v10 is better and the interface is better
the mate 8 is more expensive than the lg v10 in my country
i really like the second screen and the design of the lg v10
the mate 8 has 4000 mah to 3000 mah for the lg v10
should i pay more to for the mate 8 fro the extra battery and performance ?? or get the lg v10 ?? or the new released oneplus 3 LOL :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I have not tried the mate 8, and can only comment on the v10, which I have.
-I would not worry about performance issues with the v10. It's very good for real world application, even if it does not benchmark as well as some of the competition
-The 3000 mah battery on the v10 is on the low side. On most days the battery barely makes it through the day for me. On days I'm out of the office for extended periods of time, I generally carry a spare battery. But the nice thing is that the battery is replaceable, unlike the mate 8, I think.
-The v10 is very good for media: music, videos, camera

The V10 is optimized very well by LG. Everyday use and speed is on par with the current sd820 flagships. Sound quality is the best I've ever heard on a mobile device. I have to confirm the previous comment regarding the battery. I also carry a spare battery with me, which i charge using a cradle. The advantage of a cradle is, you can charge the empty battery while on the road using a power bank, its charging time is less than the SOT of the V10. So when your V10 runs out of juice, you will always have a full battery ready. Btw, the LG cradle also supports quickcharge 2.0
Another advantage of a cradle: it's better for the battery, because if you charge the phone while using it, it's detrimental for the overall battery health.

ithink i will go for the lg v10 and save the extra money to buy a cradle

Mate 8 will kill lg v10 in bat. performance...speed performance doesn't matter, it's like should I got on Porsche or Ferrari...LG cam is better...If you gonna stick you mobile phone for longer period of time go for LG...(removable battery), and it's more ''original''...

mate 8 is extremely fast it has fantastic performance
great battery
good display
fantastic fingerprint
great design
good sound from speaker way better than v10
but camera is really ****
i s old it because off the bad camera
focus is ****
low light quality is **** . indoor quality is ****
even in daylight all photos has soft details
soft is fast and smooth but its design is really boring

I agree, but at least it's an issue you can solve. If a phone has a bad camera, thats it. You're stuck. If it has bad audio, you're stuck.

Verdict
In review: ZTE Axon 7. Review sample courtesy of Notebooksbilliger.de.
ZTE has not promised too much: The Axon 7 easily matches upper-range smartphones, such as Samsung's Galaxy S7 even if it ultimately cannot quite pull level to such devices. ZTE's smartphone does not have the final feature polishing for this - a faster USB port, larger internal storage, and wireless charging function would have led to a slightly higher rating. However, this does not at all lessen the superb configuration and performance package that the user gets with the Axon 7.
ZTE's Axon 7 is not only a worthy opponent for high-end smartphones such as Samsung's Galaxy S7, it also convinces with its outstanding Dolby surround sound.
We particularly liked the high-quality casing, sharp QHD panel, very good camera module, and the more than sufficient performance for every smartphone situation in the test. And everyone looking for a smartphone with a really good sound will simply have to take ZTE's Axon 7 because it acoustically outruns its rivals by miles with its Dolby-Atmos sound.
ZTE's Axon 7 also has to accept criticism although there is not very much to reproach. Some users might not like the looks of the MiFavor 4.0 user interface - but the looks can be changed to almost look like stock Android via an app. A faster USB port would have suited the Axon 7 well, just like a somewhat better battery life and a removable battery.

I am bemused by the battery comments....
In my experience battery is outstanding.
Axon 7 has USB 3.0 not 2.0. So that is wrong in the review. I got 80MB/s transfer speeds from the phone to my laptop.
I can't say that is outstanding but is in really good level for his price category.
S7 Edge and P9 Plus has better battery life for 5.5" inches device.

Me too being surprised since according to ZTE is USB C 3.0 generation.
But hey ZTE mention that the battery capacity is 3250 and real one is 3140.
So maybe the actual speed of the USB C port is USB 2.0 level and not 3.0/3.1.
Keep in mind not all USB C is 3/3.1 certified.

I'm sorry i have had both s7 edge and p9 plus. The battery life is better than the s7 edge and at least on par if not better than the p9 plus. I am a power user and i get a full day without problem.
The only thing i don't like about this phone is the weight. The phone feels heavy for 1 handed use. Compared to all other phones i have used, this phone is definitely heavier than Ali of them including the note series.

I'm too having both S7 edge and Axon 7(I'm still using both phone) and with Samsung I'm having 1-1.5 hours more SOT.
Axon 7 I can say is identical to flat S7 on battery life,not Edge.

Good review, in depth and that's what we like !
Altough, as said above, not too sure about their USB testing and battery results...
I'm getting USB 3.0 speed at home, tested with a single 5030 Mo file :
SSD => Axon 7 : ~33.5 seconds --> ~150 Mo/s
Axon 7 => SSD : ~63.5 seconds --> ~79.2 Mo/s
And battery life is neither spectacular not mediocre. Iit is average for this kind of battery in this kind of smartphone.

To be fair I haven't tested the USB C speed but I will do that.
Actually if you read carefully is saying that is good to average level.
"the battery runtimes range from "good" to "average".

about the battery life... couple days ago I was driving with GPS (here maps to be exact) for 5+ hours, screen always on, audiobook playing through Bluetooth, and after trip I had about 35% battery left, if that's not impressive I don't know what is.

Yes indeed but to my personal view the camera performance is not as good in real life compared to NotebookCheck results("very good camera module" at Pro) especially low light shoots performance is mediacore at best.
Also video recording at low light conditions is far from ideal.
So at "Pro"they overestimate camera performance and on "Cons" on battery life underestimated the real one performance.

I continue to think ZTE's quality control is uneven. I found the camera and LTE reception very poor and sent mine back. Looking back at my pictures I took over those 3 weeks, the Axon 7 photos really stick out as very poor (compared to Nexus 6p and Honor 7) . Battery life however was superb, best I've ever had, with effortless 5h30 sot.

It is AMOLED, so it will be average for near white content with high APL (>80%) but very good for video with average to low APL (40% or lower). Like on Samsung phones it really depends on usage. The standby or call time is very good. Also when used at home the high contrast means people can use the phone close to minimum brightness a lot of the time, so it really helps. You really only see a strong depletion in the sun while browsing near white content (e.g. browsing or texting).
why none of you can not complain about the quality of the audio on the headphones? According to me this is the biggest disappointment of this model in the European version.

First of all post your used headphones, software setup and music file info, then your expectations and where you see the peoblem.
Plus, what did you expect? Quality on the level of 200€ dedicated computer soundcards a la xonar essence st in a 400€ MOBILE device?
I except unit that will sound better on stock then HTC m7. I heard that A2017u model sound a lot better, louder and powerful than eu model. And for that difference I'm angry about. Eu is very quiet.

I listen on stock and it's loud. I never had a need to go for 90-100% volume, that is too loud.
turn off Dolby and change HiFi setting to Super if you havent somehow done that already.

Should i upgrade to lg v10 ?

Hello guys i am little confused to buy a new device since are lots of out there.and i think this is a perfect place to know your opinions about v10.
I am using samsung galaxy note 4 right now and i am about to buy lg v10 cuz i like the design and socendery display.
So what's your suggestions guys should i upgrade from note 4 to v10 or it should be not good upgrade?
How is the performance compare to note 4 ?
And how is the battery life ? I heard snapdragon 808 has lot heating issues and battery drain
Thank you.
808 doesn't have heating issues like the 810.
I upgraded from the note 3 to the v10 and there was a night and day difference. I'm not sure the difference would be as noticable from a note 4.
The problem with the v10 is definitely the battery life, fortunately you can get battery packs with double (6400 mAh) or triple the capacity (9000 mAh) which makes the battery life good enough.
I like my v10 but unless you've got either an aftermarket battery pack or a spare battery the battery life is pretty terrible.
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Depends on what you expect...Phone seems durable. No custom ROM'S jet (probably never), batt. is so-so...camera compared to your note4 is maybe slight better...but just because manual mode.
I'm still waiting for that ''perfect phone'' to be out.
I honestly think you should keep your note 4, buy a spare battery pack, and install a note 7 rom, because the battery life in this phone isn't all that, and there is no support for this phone

Should i buy Moto Z in todays market for 285$ is it worth it ?

I got this amazing offer on moto Z more than 50% off. Should i buy it. i read alot of reviews that battery life sucks or volte problem or Bluetooth or wifi problems i am just really confused. Should i just buy a mid tier phone with mid tier secs and forget the flagship of 2016.
I paid 400$ for it when I encountered a 50% reduction in August(it costs 800$ in Croatia) and I can tell you this:
If you don't care about battery life(which is logically not great since it's a 2650 mAh with a 1440p screen, but you do get a 5.2mm thin body),this phone can't be beaten by anything under 400$(I am the type of person who buys a phone and gets bored of it within a month, yet I still adore this device). The battery also charges from 0 to 100% in an hour and you can buy a battery mod if you really need a lot of juice on the go.
what other problems are you facing ?
how much screen on time are you getting ? are there any other problems ?

With a custom rom(and a full black theme) the on-screen time is a lot higher. Honestly, I don't count that much but I get through a regular day without issues(listen to music on my way to college, take a few pics here and there, go through the web, chat, play non-intensive games, listen to music on the way back). It definitely helps that the battery charges fast.
Agree with above, just got mine 1 week ago for similar price. Obviously still tinkering but my opinion so far :
- If you are okay with bad battery life (max 4 hours SoT with stock rom & careful usage for me), it's a definite buy with that price.
- Mediocre camera can be fixed by using Google Camera HDR+ port for Snapdragon 820. It is recently ported and we can hope for better port in the future.
- If you are afraid of AMOLED burn in, there are many options to prevent it. Personally, I am using Tiles + Edge Gesture for non-root user.
- Major drawback is battery life, it can be fixed to some extent with custom rom & full dark theme as mentioned above. Or, try to find bargain for battery power pack. But, I just found out that using power pack will cause Doze never kick in, so battery drain is high. Seems installing NapTime to force doze while charging did the trick for me but still testing.
At that price if you don't want it let us know where to get it. With the Turbo Power adding just $79 if you really want very long battery life or the $49 for a slim Power Pack for long battery life you still have a good deal. It's a way to charge your phone differently it might make you a Z fan. I think mods are awesome and the battery mod can prolong the life and health of the internal battery using efficiency mode.

Is it worth upgrade?.

i am a LG V10 user. now i wanna upgrade. especially am looking for better screen(vibrant), battery performance, with sd card support, ir blaster, camera in low light(i love shoot pics in low light my v10 performs good), custom rom support atleast want root and custom recovery, etc., i searched for a better upgrade finally i cornered this mate 10. i never ever used any huawei device before. is mate 10 worth upgrade?.
i want some real time experience replies,
1. how is the sreen visibilty in sunlight?.(v10 is not that great in sunlight). both are ips lcd and with same resolution also. is the screen colour looks vibrant than v10?.
2. how's the battery performance?.(v10 is horrible in battery performance, SOT rarely touches 4hrs)
3. how's audio performance in earphones(is stock earphone sounds better)?. with hifi dac in v10 audio performance is good with high impedance earphones.
4. any heat issues after playing games or watching videos for long time.(my v10 crosses 45C after half an hour of gaming. in outdoor can't think about gaming or streaming videos, with the help of SD 808 proccy can make sandwich for breakfast).
5. any screen retention(ghost image) or bootloop issues(v10 is popular in bootloop issue, search google).
6. call reception, data connectivity and wifi performance?.

1. The screen is readable in sunlight because the phone has good brightness.
2. The 4000mAh should get you a day and a half with light-moderate use. I have about 5-6 hours SOT
3. The audio with headphone jack is pretty good but I heard the bluetooth is terrible.
4. The phone stays pretty cool even after hours of streaming. Playing games gets warm but not hot.
5. No bootloop issues unless you mess with the bootloader or if you mess up while updating the firmware manually.
6. All good
Do not upgrade. Software is crap camera is crap updates don't fix anything and break more things then you wait months for another update. Random reboots too. Only Good thing is screen and battery life.
Just look at all the negative questions about problems on This forum.
I won't recommend this phone I'd stay with lg
Don't listen to numbnutsuk....I have the Mate 10 (NON-PRO) version and it is one of the best phones I have ever had, and I have had too many to count. Up to you!

The same here. One of the best phones. Speed, screen, batery, very good for me.
These are all opinions but I will say I have a Pixel 2 XL, had the s9+, and other devices I switch up.
I just picked up the Mate 10 Pro as an open box on sale at Best Buy in excellent (not even used) condition and I can honestly say it's one of the best Android phones I've ever used. Battery life is the real deal I can get 6-7 hours SOT easily. I like some of the features the software provides, and the call quality is outstanding. Like the speaker set-up. The full screen with the navigation dock is awesome.
I really like that the screen is mostly flat and not curved like the Samsung's, and even my Pixel 2 XL. Colors are very natural, quality is much better than my Pixel 2 XL.
Of course nothing is perfect I do wish it had wireless charging, and offered a Quad HD option like others.

thank you for your detailed info about the phone. just am looking for a phone with good dispaly, good speed for daily activities, especially less heat(really i burnt my hands after using v10), bluetooth, i use it very rarely so it's not a problem for me.
if the bootloader is unlockable then it's a boon for custom recovery and rooting(i requested lg so many times to unlock the bootloader of my v10 varaint but they never listened to me - dumbass).
my main usage are calls via VoLTE, data and wifi connectivity and some social media apps.

good that you have nice experience with lg. but for me not like you i don't like their policy. it's worst than (cr)appple policy. lg promised that v10 will receive every month security update but, after nougat update till now not even single update was released. unlocking bootloader and rooting is a mirage. my v10 is already suffering from screen retention, overheat and lagging issues. i don't know when my v10 going to face the infamous bootloop issue. fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

nice, you got a excellent condition open box mate 10. hope you enjoying much with it. yes, nothing is perfect me also missing the removeable battery.
If you are getting one I suggest you get the Pro version which has much better battery life
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I have the pro version so the experience may be a bit different from regular Mate 10.
1. Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen. It's VERY bright and the color is quite good.
2. Battery is very good. It can last a day of heavy usage (playing Pokemon Go for hours) or 2 days of light usage.
3. The audio quality for wired headphone is ok. It's not bad, and depending on the type of music you listen to, the Huawei Histen sound effects may slightly improve the experience. However, it has the typical Android SRC issue (all outputs are re-sampled to 48khz/16bit). This means that if you have Hi-Res music files (96khz/24bit), the audio signal will be down-sampled and becomes the same or even worse than CD quality (44.1khz/16bit). AFAIK, LG V10, when using stock player, doesn't have this down-sampling issue. I don't have any non-Huawei phones to compare, but my FiiO X7 (professional Hi-Res audio player) definitely has better audio quality than Mate 10 Pro (I use Sennheiser IE800 IEM). There are also some issues with Bluetooth audio. When using AptX-compatible bluetooth headphones, there is a small pulsing noise when music just starts.
4. No heat issue at all.
5. If you don't unlock Bootloader and try to install un-released firmware, you won't experience any bootloop.
6. Pretty good. Be sure to check if your carieer's frequencies are compatible with the phone.
EDIT: grammar
Of course it does

I just picked up the Mate 10 Pro as an open box on sale at Best Buy in excellent (not even used) condition and I can honestly say it's one of the best Android phones I've ever used. Battery life is the real deal I can get 6-7 hours SOT easily. I like some of the features the software provides, and the call quality is outstanding. Like the speaker set-up. The full screen with the navigation dock is awesome.
I really like that the screen is mostly flat and not curved like the Samsung's, and even my Pixel 2 XL. Colors are very natural, quality is much better than my Pixel 2 XL.
Of course nothing is perfect I do wish it had wireless charging, and offered a Quad HD option like others.

If you are getting one I suggest you get the Pro version which has much better battery life

oh yes, because of amoled screen the battery life is better i think. if pro version has the sd card support and 3.5mm jack then def. i will buy it without any second thought. not only me most of the flagship lovers do it.

I have the pro version so the experience may be a bit different from regular Mate 10.
1. Mate 10 Pro has AMOLED screen. It's VERY bright and the color is quite good.

yes, amoled is brighter and sunlight visibility is good. but, the pro misses my most wanted features

2. Battery is very good. It can last a day of heavy usage (playing Pokemon Go for hours) or 2 days of light usage.

if it's last for atleast one full day with moderate use then it's enough for me.

3. The audio quality for wired headphone is ok. It's not bad, and depending on the type of music you listen to, the Huawei Histen sound effects may slightly improve the experience. However, it has the typical Android SRC issue (all outputs are re-sampled to 48khz/16bit). This means that if you have Hi-Res music files (96khz/24bit), the audio signal will be down-sampled and becomes the same or even worse than CD quality (44.1khz/16bit). AFAIK, LG V10, when using stock player, doesn't have this down-sampling issue. I don't have any non-Huawei phones to compare, but my FiiO X7 (professional Hi-Res audio player) definitely has better audio quality than Mate 10 Pro (I use Sennheiser IE800 IEM). There are also some issues with Bluetooth audio. When using AptX-compatible bluetooth headphones, there is a small pulsing noise when music just starts.

in my lg v10 i love to listen hi-res audio with the help of dedicated hifi dac. after receiving mate 10 i have to test both phone's audio output. bluetooth? i use it very very rarely. yearly once or two, i don't know when i used bluetooth last time in my v10.

4. No heat issue at all.

most expected thing. after using v10 for long now waiting to have a device with less heat. i think, kirin is better than sd in terms of long use and thermal management.

5. If you don't unlock Bootloader and try to install un-released firmware, you won't experience any bootloop.

mostly i won't do flashing but for rooting and custom recovery unlocking bootloader is required. i am afraid if i install any custom roms some unique features of stock rom won't available so better i stick with stock anytime.

6. Pretty good. Be sure to check if your carieer's frequencies are compatible with the phone.

mate 10 supports mostly all the frequencies i think so data connectivity and volte support won't be a problem. good to know that this mate 10 supports dual 4g and volte at the same time. great feature.

Question Is buying the edge 30 pro a good idea?

Hey guys I was actually scouting for new devices when I found a unboxed but new edge 30 pro for a great price. So my question is, is it a good device and should I even consider buying it. Also on the same point how is the battery life which is my greatest worry considering the 8 gen 1 in it. And how is the stock ui been.
Thank you !
Welp, phone seems pretty nice,
But 5000mAh battery scares me.
its not worth it, battery life is atrocious, updates are the worst in Android world, has no telephoto whatsoever, if u are into stock just get Pixel or Oneplus
OnePlus seems to be a problematic about its firmware and productivity,
Redmi or poco would be nice
Samsung would be nice too.
OnePlus with custom rom is considered best + it's snapdragon not overheating Tensor mess, Xiaomi with AOSP if any for newer devices, is trash and is best used with MIUI ( noone really likes that )
Of course it is, Xiaomi phones only indeed to work nicely with MIUI,
My battery lasts easily 1 day, sometimes up to 2, I really have no clue why are people complaining - are y'all running with all your services turned on constantly?...
literally everyone who owns a motorola device is complaining in their official forums so you gotta be using it for phone calls only and not as a top dog smart device, the drain on that thing is insane, if i bring my old Snapdragon 865 device running both @ 144hz , Moto will be fully dead while the other will be at over 60%
US equivalent is Edge+2022
A13 has battery improved, but it has minor flickering issue due to inconsistent brightness on different refresh rate. Set it on 60 or 144Hz can avoid the issue

I don't complain. I have Moto device (mid-range) and it has been very good since 2019. Month ago i changed new battery and now it's still good for next three years
Battery life is also great. 2 days easily and 7-8H sot usually with 60% usage.

I would not buy Edge 30 Pro because Edge 40 Pro is so much better. Atleast specs.

Ah i see, yeah i would love to do that but the reason i was considering the edge 30 pro was due to a fantastic deal. After some days of researching i beleive this is a good device with a minor caviate being the battery life
Hopefully once i do get the device the battery wouldn't be too much of an issue, and i don't find any other skeltons in the closet. (Maybe i might even be pleasently suprised by the battery life considering my 888 is not a high bar to clear)

Okay, so if like it then buy it
I don't think that battery life is your problem. I think 8 gen 1 heating could be problem.

Ah, i see from what i have read though even with the x30 being an inferno, the edge 30 pro was quite good with head management, i hope that statement is actually true and not just reviewer fluff
there is no heat management, device is very plasticky and thus has no vapor chamber solution, heat is not an issue, battery suffers from poor governors, if u are buying from china unlock bootloader and use it with custom rom
