Hello fellow devs.
I'm planning to buy a new android device under $250 which have a nice battery life, pretty good performance , decent camera and also a good record of development in present or near future.
I've short listed three devices which are oneplus x , oneplus one and moto g 2015.
Can someone give me a detailed review about their experiences with the opx ?
Pros , cons or whatever
And is buying a opo , still a nice idea ?
Thanks a lot in advance☺
you have to make your own decision, each device has its power/ weakness points.
for example the oneplus one has a large display, you can get it if u okay with that.
but the moto g will be updated faster than the oneplus x ond the others.
i got the oneplus x a month ago and it is perfect in general, but the battery doesn't last a day with heavy duty, but the battery saver is efficient.
you can search about the battery life.
do not forget about comparing between specifications of devices that you are going to chose one of them.
it's all about what your needs of the device that in your hands.
hit thanks button if that was helpful, and sorry for any bad English.
I'm perfectly OK with 5 inches and I'm on xda, so you can know how can I get timely updates?.
Thanks for giving a heads up.
I'm more concerned abt the performance difference between opx and opo.

Well that's coz of crappy oxygen os.
I saw some pretty good benchmarks which were even more than moto x play.
Btw how's the battery backup ?
Totally yes! Had a variety of devices until I ended up with this one (Z3, 5s, Nexus 6, Flex2).
I have no idea why everybody talks crap about the software. I am a heavy user and haven't encountered a single FC or random reboot.
The build quality is phenomenal. I have the champagne version.
Screen is very bright with almost accurate colors. I preffer it this way because they pop a bit.
Signal quality is excelent, talking experience is loud and smooth.
Downsides? Camera is not a wow factor, but it does it's job.
Very slippery without a case.
Hard to find compatible accesories.
Ignore stupid benchmarks. Watch for example a comparison between HTC A9 that outbenches this phone by far, but in day to day tasks, Oneplus X wipes the floor with it.
Thanks for the review. Luckily i got an invite 10 mins ago!!?
Feeling so excited abt the device.
What screen on time are u getting on the device ?

I'm doing 5h SOT normal use, from 100% to 15-20%, more than one day (normally 36h use): whatsapp, tapatalk, carbon, flipboard, some chrome navigation, gps, maps. I think it's a great battery performance, stock software (Oxygen 2.1.3-X), no root.

Hey all,
Like some other fellow Nexus 6P users here I'm sure you are getting curious of what other phones are out there, that can please our every geeky need.
But I just can't fine one - everything I want is in this phone!
I have been looking around but yet I always keep drawing up a pro's and con's list in my mind and can't help but sum up the 6P as having:
- Great battery life (once tweaked accordingly)
- Dual speakers
- Perfect display
- Fast and reliable
- Great size
- Access to latest Google updates
- Great camera (the best I've had on a smartphone)
- Etc.
Though despite all this, the desire to at least 'window-shop' and look around for the next greatest phone is still there. The new Xiaomi Mi Mix looks interesting, as I feel like I could go bigger on the screen size. Same with the Phab 2 Pro, the 6.4" size appeals to me but then seemingly I'd lose out on the great camera (low light especially) and the dual speakers.
Anyways I thought I'd start a thread to hear some other opinions on this, if any other released/to be released phone has almost got you swayed into parting with the beloved...
Sorry
But calling Nexus 6p screen perfect
That's weard
The screen is ****
Really old AMOLED with bad colours
Coming from a 2013 Droid MAXX, the screen is perfect for me. Guess for someone coming from a Samsung Galaxy would feel differently.. but yes, this phone is just about perfect. I especially like the camera's low light capabilities.

Haha.. glad to see I'm not the only one who looking for another phone but hard to decide bc I too love my 6P.
Been thinking of the One plus 3 not really a upgrade but something different but waiting on the One plus 4 . But it's gotta have good Dev support and the One plus definitely has that.
But still looking at others as well.. undecided bc my 6P has been a perfect fit for what I like in a phone :/

I too am pretty dang content with my 6P, esp. with some of the "Pixel exclusive" features we've gotten
However, I won't deny that the 4GB/821 specs inside the Pixel XL are tempting at times...but I'm thinking I'll either get my wife a normal Pixel to upgrade her GS6 edge and wait to get myself whatever comes out next year, or just wait on both of us till then. I'm not as against the Pixel as some, but I'll admit that $870 (+ tax) for a 128GB, similarly-sized phone is a bit of a tough pill to swallow for me personally lol
I had the pixel for a a few days and returned it because the price difference to performance from the 6p felt negligible to me. 7.1.1 on the 6p fixed a lot of quirks I had and flashing the pixel stuff over made me more than content to keep the 6p thru this year. Looking forward to seeing what HTC has in store for their next flagship.

Hmm then it is a shame that we have such diffeent experiences with this phone - the colours, for me, are perfect - no tweaking of them required. The blacks are black with no 'bleeding'. Absolutely great for me...

Yup the low light camera is literally the best I've had. Very consistently impresses me, even still to this day!

Indeed, that price tag is a hefty one and one that I cannot justify spending.... at least not yet anyway. I would miss the larger screen and the speakers, being the real tangible difference. Like you say, features have/will come our way with software updates, but I really do appreciate a great sound and nice sized display - yet to find this elsewhere though!!?
The "bezel-less" Xiaomi Mi MIX does look like a nice phone. So that may tick the box of size, but would the screen quality be as nice? And the speakers? And the low light camera capabilities?? Not sure on that one...
The Huawei Honor Note 8 looks good too, very big screen which I think I'd like, but overall just don't think I'd be as happy as I am now.....
Dam restlessness eh!!
I'm definitely glad I went with the 6p also. I don't mind spending the money upgrading. Was looking at note 7 or iPhone 7 plus. But the price for the Pixel xl to me I couldn't do. I just can't put the Pixel in the same category as the other phones.

lol do you own a Nexus 6P? The display is the exact same as the Galaxy S7 screen. They only difference is the S7 screen is set a few nits brighter. Deep blacks, vibrant popping colors and great contrast. Maybe you have sRBG turned on for "true colors"? If not maybe you just have a sub-standard quality display on your phone.
there is no doubt to the nexus 6p is good device but not the best in my opinion! maybe so hard to believe but my ex device (htc M8-32 g) is far better! at the least for me!
here is some reason: I've multi rom with 3 base of Android (kitkat/lollipop/Marshmallow) and switch between the without any issues. (sense rom, google play or CM base rom doesn't matter! all of them work perfect!)but if this don't convince you let me tell you the custom sense rom developers in htc really perfect (most definitely the Viper rom of Venom groups plus insertcoin roms and sky dragon roms) having too dozens options for customize and in the end better quality of speakers and headphones sounds and have a great sound batch like Harman/Kardon sound batch and no come up short in battery even with a smaller size of battery and too smooth without any lag. may rest in peace my dear M8! ??
sure I know the nexus 6p's camera to far better than M8 but I'm not a mobile camera user and need very rarely to it
however I like my nexus 6p and one of the best device I'd

That phone does look like a nice one for its time, there's nothing wrong in holding love still for such a device! I'm in the same love for the 6P right now, for me, the best its been ever for a mobile device. But as theres only so many roms to try, my flashoholic nature starts wanting to wander into the 'next device' territory......whatever that may be haha
I'm keeping an eye on the Huawei Mate 9 Pro up coming announcement November 4th...

The Pixel XL is the same price as the iPhone 7 Plus. It may not be worth the money to some but it is the best Android phone to date. The 6p is great I still have mine but the Pixel XL is fantastic. If you like Android and could spend the money on an iPhone 7 Plus but not the Pixel XL. You need to get your hands on one and play with it. If you can get a 6p cheap it is hard to beat for the money.

If you are into rooting/modding, you can easily fix this with a custom kernal to your liking.
Answer the op. Nothing beats Huawei mate 8(soon 9) when it comes to overall phone but you have other issues to deal with. While im waiting for the Mate 9 to release and after I broke my Mate 8 I had to find a phone to hold me over.
Nexus 6p
Lg v10 and maybe g3./4
Note 5 but doesnt have enough storage for me.
Couple of other chinese phones but you lose lte most of the time.
Nothing really unless you want baby note aka s6/s7 edge.
For my personal taste, maybe axon 7 if the community is behind it. Note 7 if that whole thing didnt happen.
edit- If an updated version of the 6p ever released with half the top/bottom bezels, It would be the goat. Any htc is not in the same realm as 6p
My 6P battery was degraded. I think to change to another phone.
But I still finding...... :silly::silly::silly:
Sorry but the Nexus/Google phones have one thing that will keep me....Project Fi with CDMA-GSM LTE Switching. No other phone can do it because the software just isn't there.

Samsung devices have a "SUPER AMOLED" and the difference is noticeable. I came from a note 4 (2014 release) to a nexus 6p(2015 release) and I saw the difference in screen right away. Nothing beats a Samsung Galaxy screen, even if the nexus uses a Samsung amoled screen. I can barely see anything on this screen in the sun, which was never a problem for my note 4. Other than that, nexus 6p is a solid device.. I got it for $330 for the 64gb gold. I probably wouldn't have paid more than $350 for this device thou. Definitely feels like a downgrade from my 1 year older note 4 (sadly I broke it).
Coming from a lg v10 I was decided between a lg v20 and this phone so I bought the 32gb 6p then I'm like ok this phone is awesome but I had one problem. Internal storage was only 25gb on the 32gb variant I filled it up within a week or two then I'm like ok great phone I'm getting 128gb. I bought my fiance the lg v20 it is a awesome but the roms available for the Nexus 6p is way better than the lg v10 or 20 I had the lg v10 before this 6p. The difference is amazing, the lg v10 was slower and couldn't even keep up with me.
The only thing better than the 6p is a 6p with 12hrs SOT
I bought my 6P on January 2016, and started with the battery issue on November. I thought that was a software issue, and I restored factory settings a few times, but nothing worked. In my case, I have 80% of the issues when the battery goes to 15% ... and immediately shuts down. Also, sometimes when it's at 30%, 20%, 40% .... I have tried battery calibration... but nothing solved the problem. It's frustrating.
About the temperature....I live in Majorca (Spain) with temperatures between 10-25 degrees, so I think that, in my case, is not connected.
If I add that I have bluetooth issues with my car since I upgraded to 7.0 ... and sometimes I have echo during the calls .... Maybe my unit is wrong. Anyway, my general perception is that it is the best smartphone that I've ever had and I do not want to lose it.
I purchased my nexus with amazon prime, and I contacted them and they offered full refund (1 year later, amazon is amazing for me). I am considering to buy OnePlus 3T .... but I do not know if I can handle the camera quality lost or the audio difference .... The rest of things maybe the OP3T is better option ....
Do you think that, considering that the refund my money, is a good option to change to a Oneplus 3T?
Best regards,
:good:
P.D: i cannot buy Pixel XL because is not possible to buy it in my country, and I am not interested to add money this time.
Buy another 6P. Mine works well with 7.1.1.

I think that the OP3T now is a better option in terms of speed, hardware....and also, Oxygen OS seems to be a very good alternative (they also have good update policy).
But the camera...Nexus 6P is still one of the best smartphone cameras...S7 edge...I hate touchwiz...Pixel XL...too expensive and not available in my country...HTC 10 is too small.....So there are not many options with a very very good camera...

You could always wait for the One Plus 4 which should be released in June/July. I would take a refund on the 6P and get a OP3T though I don't trust the 6P hardware anymore.

OP3T: better processor, more ram, better battery life, very good software, the best fingerprint sensor. Cons: camera quality far from the best cameras...

Nexus 6p: nexus software, a little bit outdated hardware but working very smooth, stereo speakers....and one of the best cameras. Cons: battery issues, bluetooth issues (in my case).
Hi, sorry to hijack the thread but I also have the battery issue with mine...purchased in November 2015 from eBay seller who purchased from CPW. According to Huawei website the phone is still under warranty until December 2017. The phone's battery was absolutely atrocious with Android 7.0 update... It didn't last at all and regularly shut down suddenly at 50/60%...sometimes it reached 15/20% before it shut down!
I was running custom ROM then... However I've gone back to stock a few days ago and the battery life has considerably improved but unfortunately it shut down suddenly at about 20% today!!!
I'd like to know if I should be able to return the phone under warranty and who I can return to? Google, Huawei or CPW?
Thanks in advance.

CPW won't do anything and neither will Google because you didn't buy it from the Playstore. Huawei is your best bet but they're denying the problem and saying it's Google's fault.

Dont waste time with huawei or google.go on eBay or Amazon and type in Cameron sino battery for nexus 6p ,buy it and pop it in. Profit
OnePlus 3/3T/5 have plenty of custom ROMs.
But I am not sure about Low light photo taken by them.
I saw some news website said about special edtion of OnePlus 5 on 2017 SEP 19.

Nexus camera is better
Nexus camera is awesome. I have said this before in several other threads. It is not that hard to replace a battery in a 6p. Go on eBay or Amazon and do a search for a Cameron sino battery.
Thinking of switching from my Pixel 5inch to the G6.
Actually I could do a straight trade.
If you have done it, is it worth it?
What is better or worse?
I am interested in battery life and performance? Is it as smooth as the Pixel?
For G6, SoT around 6hrs or little more depending on settings, UI very smooth imho. Design of the G6 is lovely, I don't like the massive bezels on Pixel but that's a personal thing.

The bezel for sure is my least favorite thing. Thing is I went through 4 Pixels with RMA, I am little tired of it.
G6 is my first LG and its brilliant, I'm very chuffed thus far, been 2 months.
Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk
I had pixel xl and i sold it and bought g6 . everything is better on g6 but the camera i feel like it was better on pixel xl . but the battery is much better on g6
The G6 is not even nearly as smooth as a Pixel regardless of what some people say.
I have and love both. But honestly the Pixel can't be beat. That phone is unbelievable. I switched because I have weirder than normal needs. My phones are paid for and used for work.. So I have to have a REAL e-mail, contacts, Calendar client for office 365(or whatever it's called). None of the apps work like the skinned phones clients do. I also love Quick memo and have years of notes saved to it.
But if i didn't need my phone for work I would be back to the pixel in a second flat. But since i need a skinned phone i love the G6.
Bit the bullet and Got G6. I can agree that UI fluidity is not even close to the Pixel. However it's still likely better then S8.
Hopefully LG can do something about it.

I've had an S8+ and it actually has much smoother scrolling than the G6 which surprised me a fair bit. However the S8 feels slower overall and more laggy, except the camera that can lag a lot on the G6. But scrolling performance was indeed a lot better on the Sammy.

Yeah it had performance drops in framerates specially when going back to the homescreen and it would stutter randomly, still scrolling performance beats the G6 by a fair bit. I found the G6 to stutter too much for my taste I'm going to sell mine.

Have you tried a factory reset and all that? KDZ load?
I'm going to use this at least until Pixel 2. I had my pixel replaced 3 times, it has its own issues even if lag is not one of them.
For some reason I don't really want the S8.
Thought about the OP5 but I don't want to downgrade in some ways like then screen or camera.

I returned both my S8+ phones because of Amoled issues. I can never ever get a good Amoled screen. It was the same with the S7 Egde. 4 of them and not one single good enough screen always some visual defect. Crappy Samsung Amoled I start to hate them really. Going with my iPhone from now on instead it never gives me headaches.
Yes, I did factory reset.

I guess LG needs to update from Android 7.0 to 7.1.1 as 7.1.1 might solve scrolling or stuttering problems like the frame rate goes down ocassionaly. The Pixel might be very smooth because it's got 7.1.2 (I'm not sure the latest Android version solved some problems) Imagine the upcoming LG V30! It'll run on SD 835 on top of LG's UX 6.0 running Android 7.1.2 that might make the LG V30 a favorite beast for years to come. That also makes the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 boring.

It'll run on SD 835 on top of LG's UX 6.0 running Android 7.1.2 that might make the LG V30 a favorite beast for years to come. That also makes the upcoming Galaxy Note 8 boring.

Actually I read the pixel 2 MAY be the first phone to have the Snapdragon 836. So no, not obviously.....

Have you tried a factory reset and all that? KDZ load?
I'm going to use this at least until Pixel 2. I had my pixel replaced 3 times, it has its own issues even if lag is not one of them.
For some reason I don't really want the S8.
Thought about the OP5 but I don't want to downgrade in some ways like then screen or camera.

OPs have some of the best image Quality as they are very 'hands off' in terms of their processing engine, I had the OP2 and its camera was the best I'd seen in Android at the time. I see the OP3 camera was also stellar so am sure the OP5 will continue in that vain
Hello. I own Nexus 6 for 2-3 years, running purenexus rom and overall I must say I generally like this phone. But also I've tried Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and I was surprised how fine MIUI run and despite the fact I'm a fan of pure android how nice it looks and works. Maybe I am little bit bored of using the same phone for longer term and I would like to do some change.
I know my case is more about personal preferences, so I dont want to be convincing to different brand for example, my question is just technical.
If I replace my nexus 6 to redmi note 4, will I gain something? For example better camera, speed, performance, capabilities? Won't this be step back or staying on the approximately same level? High end older model for mid class newer one? Is it the right time to upgrade or better wait little bit longer for something better and stay with N6 for even longer time? What do you think about it?
BTW: mostly Im interrested in camera, if image quality of redmi 4 will be better or not... This is probably the most crucial point for me.
Thank you.

I'm thinking this belongs in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 area.

It is pretty obvious the camera will not be up to your expectations, I'd recommend the Redmi Note 5 Pro, if you're specifically looking for a better camera.
No, the Redmi Note 4 camera has nothing to be desired.
The phone itself is fine, though. Gets me through the day without charging, okay performance.
If you're looking to upgrade your phone for the camera I'd suggest to get the new Redmi Note 5 Pro or Galaxy S7 which price has been dropped significantly.

Obviously you are bored, nexus 6 is superior in every way even with that old arm CPU. Don't even think about Redmi Note 4 .
and what about redmi 5 plus? camera seems to be better

As a Nexus guy(myself), forget about Chinese phones. You will be greatly disappointed.
This is by far the worst phone I've got. This could be subjective opinion but I feel i need to warn you.
Ultimately, it's up to you.
