Yer I think it's just the shadow from the notch was just curious as hadn't noticed it on the honor 10 or play, long as its not just mine then not concerned it's a one off fault, cheers for confirming [emoji106]

maybe its a feature to help the notch blend in to the screen ?
Anyway guys slightly off topic but what do you think of the phone so far ? I'm looking at it as a possible upgrade to my honor 9

Well so far I'm very impressed with the 8x grate battery life awesome screen performance is lightning not much to grumble at really, my only con was the the fact they used USB 2.0 rather than type C nobody is using USB now and for a 2108 device makes no sense at all I don't think it would of made the device cost more I personally would of paid a extra £10 for type C, but personal preference and not really a deal breaker, I've owned the honor 10 and play and is on par with them at fraction of the cost camera is pretty well on par with honor play also can get some nice shots, some bad as well,
Deff if on a budget of £230 then this is a must to get if want to spend extra £50 then the play isn't bad to if wanted type C that bad,

Yeah i was looking at the honor 10 but went for the 9 as i didn't want a huge screen and it was £100 cheaper , then i realised a 5.1 inch screen and fat thumbs don't go well together lol . Now if only i can come up with a good reason to buy another phone without disturbing the peace in the house :laugh:

Lol I know the feeling, 8x has very minimal bezel and tiny chin also the advantage of no honor logo on front, slightly wider then the honor play so good for movies and vids if wanted slightly narrower then the play would fit the bill but I've big hands so 8x is perfect for me [emoji16]

Doubtful seems to be shadow effect from the black notch you could reduce brightness or tinker with the screen modes see if reduces the shadow from notch maybe but don't think a software fix can help more of a manufacturing flaw or screen quality issue , the 8X max has bad light bleed take a look at frankietech video review on 8x max its not good ,

Really disappointed with ONEPLUS.
Hi! we don't know how genuine those pics are we all know the images could not be of the actual phone
Though one thing i can tell with confidence it that Oneplus 2 will have two sims slots
horrific design if true. and with a price increase as well? simply won't sell.
I actually don't mind the design.
Not sure why people are complaining about the back, it's fully replaceable.
As of the front, the fingerprint scanner had to go somewhere, but they kept the screen at 5.5 and side bazels are ultra thin.. The whole phone is much smaller than the oneplus one...
Let's wait and see!

Here's a video of the phone. Looks exactly like the old Galaxy S2 on the bottom and the bezels are still too big everywhere. And capacitive buttons? Not sure what OnePlus was thinking here..

Nor will many others, especially for the increased $450 price. The top bezel of the phone looks exactly like the Nexus 5 and the bottom bezel is identical to the Galaxy S2. This is, at best, extremely bizarre.. but for the vast majority, totally unacceptable.
It's a real shame, I was hoping the OP2 would be my next phone. There's also some reports that the screen panel and camera aren't very good from leaked camera test shots.
Of course, people are also freaking out about the low Antutu benchmarks and are faulting the underclocked SD 810. At this point, I wouldn't touch any SD 810-based hardware.
No word on whether Oxygen is improved at all.

Lol even my lg gflex 2 gets 58000 even with throttling... I think maybe it is another cheaper version not the "normal"one of op2. Some previous leaked geekbench scores and antutu showed far better results.

Even indoors, if the screen gets hit with direct light, there is a clearly visible crosshatch pattern across the whole display. Anyone else notice this?
Got to say I'm not too impressed with the screen quality. Light bleed, dead pixels and now this. My much cheaper Redmi 1s has none of these issues. Sure, the colours aren't as vibrant but not sure which I'd choose given the choice.

If you get direct light on the screen, you don't see the digitizer? I noticed it within a couple mins of using phone and wasn't looking for it. Never seen a digitizer so easily noticeable before.
I don't think its too much to expect at this price a screen without noticeable light bleeding, dead pixels etc. Honestly I think they used the European promotion to shift these phones with slightly subpar displays. Btw, I think you are overrating Sony's screens. They are known for the same issues I noticed on this Honor 7, even on their flagships.
I noticed this also but it happened to me after I removed stock "screen protector" and replaced with Nilkin tempered glass. I quess stock screen protector somehow filtered grid away.

I still have stock screen protector and also see it. I guess its just coincidence you noticed only after installing Nillkin.
I am very critcal when it comes to display, both with computers and smaller screens. Had there been a visible grid on my H7 I would have seen it, no doubt at all. I never could stand the Sony Trinitron support wires at the old CRT monitors, and a lot of people.never saw them!

I noticed it within 5 seconds of taking the phone out of the box when the screen was tilted towards a light bulb. The digitizier of the Honor 7 seems unique in that it's very visible in artificial indoor lighting.

I have several phones and never seen the digitizer except in bright sunlight. With the Honor 7 I noticed it indoors immediately. Even checking side by side now in same conditions, I can't see the digitizer on any of them except the Honor 7. The screen looks like it has a texture to it when light hits it, not like the usual barely noticeable digitizer pattern. I agree that its not really an issue though, more of an observation.
I think honor 7 is one of the best phones I have had for this. I have just spent a few moments trying to see it and can't. I have always been able to see it before. I still have the supplied protector on also, if that makes a difference.

Check indoors at night time. Also at night it is visible with high brightness on white background, it you look closely.
Yes, your right, I can see them too.. But I had to put the display INTO my eyes that I was able to see them.. :silly:

Well.. into your eyes for straight ahead but tilted at light you can see from normal distance. It is minor issue though. I'm more annoyed with my dead pixel
When I saw your post I started looking for it, with different angles, different lights, etc... I can't see it !
I remember that it was sometimes visible on my Galaxy Note 2 and LG G3, but only with intense sunlight so I'll look again on the Honor 7 next summer I guess
I think the general product quality is the main factor, for example, I often see it (even indoors) on my Onda V989, which is a 130$ chinese tablet. (The tablet is great, but the screen has a weak max brightness).

It is very different looking than any other digitizer, so maybe you are looking for the wrong thing. It is not dots, and not a normal digitizer pattern. It looks more like a light texture on the screen. In daylight it creates a rainbow effect.

I can't believe how laggy and how horrible this thing scores on benchmarks. I am getting 118k on AnTuTu and 1200/3200 in Geekbench. Worse than the G5. I wiped it and ran the tests again with the same results. About three hours into ownership and I am totally disappointed. It's probably going back to TMobile.
I think mine is way too narrow also. Feels like a 5" inch phone. Thought it would be way wider.

Why ? A 18:9 has less screen area than a 16:9 with the same diag measurement. This has been noted in reviews of the phone.
As noted in this review, the total screen area is actually a little larger than the iPhone 7 plus and in a smaller body, but still less total screen area than a 5.7" phone with a 16:9 ratio.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
For some odd reason the nav bar is absolutely enormous, even in small display mode, making the usable area of the screen quite a bit less than 5.7, making it feel much more like 5.2/౩. If it weren't for the always on display this thing would already be back in the box.
I'm assuming you guys have not taken an update, if there even is one. In order to preserve whatever root method comes about first?

My G6 feels faster than my G4. I almost got the V20 but it didn't have wireless charging. I got a wireless charging sticker for the G4. I'll try to get use to this odd 5.7" screen size.
The G6 really reminds me of my old 5" HTC DNA with Verizon that was the 1st phone to have wireless charging back in like 2012.

After a full days use on my T-Mobile LG G6, it's definitely not as buttery as my Pixel but performance is good enough for an Android device running last year's silicon. You can tell the software isn't optimized for the SD821 like it is on the Pixel. The Pixel is by far the smoothest phone I've ever used.
So far the only thing that bugs me is the uneven LCD screen, the bottom half is warmer than the top which triggers my OCD like crazy and I see it every time on a white background. Brings back memories of my OnePlus One days where I had to exchange 4 different times to get a half way decent screen.
I'm getting really good battery life so far which is a good sign and it charges way faster than my Pixel it seems. Camera so far has been pretty meh... I took a few night pictures and they come out better on my Pixel.
So far, Pixel to me is still the king, I'll most likely return this thing and try the Galaxy S8. If that doesn't blow me away, I'm hanging onto my Pixel until the next gen version.

Root is not fixing this thing's performance issues. It's not bloat causing it, its just clearly unoptimized. You will definitely want software updates enabled to get hopefully optimized software.
So its there, in the Samsung Experience. I have had every Note, now with s8 plus and i was STILL taken aback at how big it is. its fast though. Camera is nice and the new 'live' is a lot like the Mate 9 (which I think implements it better).

I have a Note8 back cover and Note FE. The Note8 is about the same size as the Note FE when in a back cover. Not a massive increase over the Note 7/FE.
I played with one at best buy yesterday it didn't feel big to me. It felt smaller than I thought. Maybe because it's narrow

Best Buy
Probably similar to the S8+? I was expecting it to be huge in the hand before I bought the S8+ but it's not what you would expect since it's narrow.
Had my hands on one today at the Best Buy near SouthCenter Mall in Tukwilla, WA. Awesome device, feels MUCH better than the S7E
Edit: Its back in the Samsung area, not in the branded phone areas
thank you so much. I went to my BB and none. I'll try there next.
I compared the note 8 to my note 4 in my UAG case and they were close in size. I was pleasantly surprised.
My Ringke Fusion Note 8 case came yesterday so i decided to jam my note 5 in there to compare lol..
as you can see it's in there but it is a bit warped so the note 8 will be slightly less wide than the note 5 but quite a bit taller
I also put my S7 Edge in there too and there was plenty of room, enough for it to rattle side to side when shook
Stopped by Best Buy earlier today to check out the Note8. It looks so tall and dumb in photos, but in person it looks fantastic. After using the N8 for a few minutes, my Note5 feels like garbage. xD
Had it in hand yesterday. I don't see why people are complaining about a camera hump! If you want to see a big camera hump check out the iphone!
The camera seemed very fluid and processed pictures nearly instantly.
This reminds me of the Note7 vs. S7E. Instantly I was in love with how the camera software worked on the Note7.
In my opinion it feels very large in hand, but that could be because I am coming from a S8. Compared to the N7 I think the size is comparable. I like the camera and the display seems very sleek and bright (but I would expect nothing less from Samsung). I am not sure if the huge price tag is justified as it seems like a N7 with a dual camera. Still getting it though

I spent a bit of time looking for something for the Honor Note 8 (similar size) about a year ago and couldn't find anything big enough, so I ripped out the lenses from the google cardboard and 3D printed a body to hold the lenses and the phone No idea if there's anything now.

What am I supposed to do with that?
Well I have actually a Xiaomi Mi Max wich is around the same dimension and using the "Fiit VR 2S", it's fit perfectly in it, event if part of the screen is hidden. I stop using it because the pixel density was not enough on my phone to be really usable. But otherwise I was pretty happy of the results.
I'm sorry I cannot give you a purchase link as gearb**st as stopped to sell it and I cannot seems to find it with a really short search... Hope you could find one.
