If you can wait, maybe this week the price of the nexus 5x will drop somewhere.
I think VR needs something above 1080p that Huawei currently does not have.
I think now Honor 7 hit the sweet spot at around 240~250€. All due to the new Honor 8.
Honor 7 is still a very capable device with expandable storage. It runs everything smoothly, except some games (not a gamer´s SOC, like any other Kirin SOC), excellent battery (until B190 ROM) and a dazzling camera when RAW enabled, just to name a few points. Also for those who don't like Emui, can install Nova Launcher.
Above this I would consider the Honor 8, OnePlus3 or ZTE Axon7.

VR is not good at 1080p, reviewers say that you can see pixels when using VR on fullHD devices

If camera is your priority then Honor. If Gyro is your priority, then Don't come to Honor 5X.
And if you can wait further, You can try Honor 6X.
Mostly it also won't have Gyro. But can use the Dual Camera setup.
Tested VR with my 5X. I can only see straight. Hahaha. :laugh:

honor 5x is cheaper, and has micro sd card, but when it comes to development, nexus 5x is a clear shot,
but considering the price, honor 5x is a good deal
Is it possible to port Nubia UI to our 4x SD? My wife has the Nubia z17 mini and the camera app is great and image processing is unbelievable! Can we port the whole room or at least the camera app?

Why didn't you bought a Nubia phone in the first place?
Of course, nubia z17 mini have much better camera processing , i mean look at the price.. Its pricier
Oh and Porting Nubia UI? Nope, not gonna happen
Try finding a ported camera app of Nubia instead.
@GabrielScott Well I don't buy a phone for features I buy a phone for community support since I'm a flashaholic and if I had OnePlus Money I would of bought but I'm really really happy with my 4x and the camera is not the best but it gets the job done even though I had the s7 edge before my 4x the screen broke on it and it costs $280 to fix so I got a new phone $100 less than the price of 1 fragile screen
Well yea if it's possible to port the cam app that would be awesome

Hey there,
I pre-ordered the Mate 10pro which will arrive in about two weeks here in Germany. Now there are some leaks of the Honor V10 which will be presented on December 5th and will be available probably early in 2018.
The specs seem to be very similar, especially the AI enhanced processor - so my question is:
What is the big difference, what will I lose when I take the V10 instead?
might as well wait a few more weeks. Imagine finding out after you bought a M10P only to find out something just as impressive at a third of the price. only 4 weeks to go.

With the bezeless 18:9 ratio and front fp, the v10 has caught my curiosity as well what they have to offer. Also on the lookout if there will be a Honor Magic, 2nd edition.
That said, no honor phones were on the Mate 9 pro level last year or even standard Mate 9. So i expect the same to be the case here as well. No reason to be disappointed unless your buying the Mate 10 pro with a heavy sigh over its price. Honor phones tick the main boxes like ram and same processor, but tend to cut corners were it is less of a highlight like for example getting a lesser quality display, lesser premium build although a catchy design, weaker audio or loudspeaker, no earphones included and so on. Honor 8 pro currently sold at 475£, so a 64gb V10 should be about 500£.
You also have to wait more for it (time = money) and by the time it releases outside China we get Huawei P11 series ready for launch. And then 2 months after that you get the Honor 10 launched, and so on. Its a never ending game. The timing looks like its launched to compete the Oneplus 5T, so not far fetched to expect the Honor V10 to launch in a particular market close to the OnePlus5T launch.
The main difference will likely be cameras.
If Honor v10 camera dont have OIS, go for mate 10. Other specs will probably the same with mate 10 with usually Honor design a bit better. Better wait for it, maybe can save a lot of money.

That's not essentially true. The Honor V9 was on a par with the Mate 9 Pro, except for the camera. The V9 was better than the Mate 9 having higher resolution screen. The UK version - the Honor 8 Pro was the same, just only came with 64GB internal space.
I must admit I was annoyed after buying my Mate 10 only to see the Honor V10 announced with largely the same specs, but much lower cost!

Honor 8 pro released 4 months after Mate 9 and had the older generation dual 12mp Lecia camera with that iphonish design.
And the other aspect was that, at least in the middle east market the difference between Honor and Huawei was not that large as was the case in China. Out here, it was a difference of 50$ at best. Weirdly the Honor 9 is even costlier than the Huawei P10 and priced as much as Mate 9, see: https://store.hihonor.com/ae/index.php/honor/smartphones).
Whatever the case with V10 whether it makes the Mate 10 series obsolete/overpriced or not, we will know soon.

The same as the V9? That was only 3 months behind it. So in essence, a cheaper Honor phone follows with largely the same specs and about 2/3 the price.
Don't get me wrong - I selected the Mate Pro 9 over the V9 - but if you can't afford the top line Huawei phones, then just wait. In this case, the V10 is not far behind and way better than the Mate 10 Lite.

This part no doubt i agree, if people have real issue with price of Mate 10 series or any other Huawei phones, than you can wait for the Honor phones as that is exactly what the Honor brand addresses with their line of phones.

I've been using P9, Honor 9 and Mate 10,
All i can say is that, this Leica name tag on Mate and P series is not for nothing,
Although Honor camera is no slouch either, but in terms of image processing, P and Mate series are clear winner,
Not to mention that Honor series normally remove OIS from its cam to save price.
honor series are non leica....cmiiw

Yes, already mentioned.
V10 teaser is about AI
https://weibo.com/2554757470/FuVjQ6deS?refer_flag=1001030103_&type=comment
But i suspect, most of the AI functions would be like the case of Honor Magic that it functions only in China.
It'd have the Kirin 970 chipset eitherway
Thank you all guys for the interesting discussion! I guess I will check out the M10P first. I ordered it via Amazon so I can return it for 30 days.
What are your impressions concerning community support for Honor vs. Huawei here on XDA (custom ROMs, mods, root etc.)?
On other thought is that afaik Honor phones often have a much higher Sar value.
Grrr. The presentation in London was just about the 7x, not the V10 a.k.a. the Honor 9 pro.
This will likely be presented on January 7th...

Différences are :
- LCD Screen for honor 10
- Camera in low brightness
- Phone material
Are mate 10 pro and ni pro will get face unlock? Like v10
Huawei Mate 10
V10 this time is totally different from both Mate 10 series. Only similarity is the Kirin 970 chipset. Otherwise its specs is such that it is different from both Mate 10 and Mate 10 pro. IPS FHD+ 18:9 screen with front fp, older design language, slimmer with smaller battery, different camera specs for front and rear camera, headphone jack and memory expansion slot.
Looking to get the new Oneplus Ace Pro with the Genshin theme. Can I put google services on it and keep the Genshin theme? I see on giztop that they sell one with Google services the theme and OTA updates.

How do they do that? I am working in China so I can pick one up for cheap, half of what Giztop wants. I know I can probably flash to a global rom but I would lose all the preloaded themes. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
All you do to add Google Services to a OnePlus Chinese firmware phone is go to APK Pure or APK Mirror and install Play Store.
Install Google Play service on Chinese Android Phone (XiaoMi, HuaWei, OnePlus, Oppo, Vivo) - TEK-Shanghai
Google service has been banned in China For a long time, so does the Google Play store for Android phones. But on the market, either you going to buy iPhone
tekshanghai.com
I did this myself on my 9 when I installed the Chinese firmware on it. As soon as I opened up the Play Store app, it prompted me to log in and configured Google Services.

That's a reasonable concern for sure. Unless something has changed since the 9 series though, it really should be just this simple.
