Hello guys, happy new year
I wanted to ask if somebody switched from an S8+ to M10pro?
In my country i have the possibility to change phones every 6 months, by giving the used one back, and taking a new one.
The best what i can get is a note 8, which i dont want(allmost same as my s8+ and the mate 10 pro.
I had the mate 9 year ago, it was a beast, it only lacked the developement, that was a bit sad, but it was a great phone.
The battery life just was brilliant with some tweaks, as i got at least root to it.
What do you guys say about the upgrade?
Any noticable improvements in day to day performance ober s8+?:fingers-crossed:
Same as mate 9
Iam coming from mate 9 to mate 10 pro
And I got the amoled screen and new aspect ratio plus a better camera in all aspects in my opinion
From s8 you will get a lot better battery and more RAM and smoother phone coz sammys always lag a little bit
Also you will get portrait and bokeh effects in cam plus a lot better night shoots I think than any phone right now not just the s8.

Yes the screen is better compared to mate 9.
Performance wise, i think thatvthey are the same - s8+ and mate 10pro.
How about the mate dual speakers? Are they better than on mate 9?
Did you felt the performance difference?
Stay with S8+. Buy Mate 10 only if you want better battery.

In my opinion yes. Except if you want better battery. Mate's 10 battery is a beast. Finally keep in mind that you would be disappointed by audio quality and volume delivered to the headphones. But that is only my opinion. The best would be to test the phone by yourself if you can.

I purchased an S8+ through Samsung using their credit line with the sole purpose of reselling it and buying a Mate 10, not the Pro, just the regular. Worked out great as a friend gave me his Note 5 to trade in which knocked off $300 from the S8+.
Samsungs are just too bloated for me.
I'm in a dilemma I've got s8+ and just got Huawei mate 10 pro today I just don't know which one to keep any suggestions people without harsh comments please I can't decide

Use them both and see which one you prefer. The opinions of others don't matter much when you have the opportunity to use the devices and compare them for yourself.

That's my problem I like things of both
Let me tell you my story (even though it may be a little bit late)
I owned the S8+ for more than 6 months but I finally sold it. Main reason was the awkward and not comfortable design and the battery. I have the Mate 10 Pro for 2-3 days and I really enjoy it.
Battery is near perfect, it feels faster than the S8+ and cameras are pretty much the same
However if you are an audiophile like me, you will be disappointed by the headphone performance through the USB-C adapter. It is very weak compared to the one on the S8
Also, the screen is not very bright but it is not a problem for me. I just wanted to let you know
If you have any other question, please let me know

Yes
It is pretty much the same
I believe that it has to do more with the actual headphones rather than the phone

That seems odd...
Anyhow, Mate's speakers are way better than those on the S8+ and for the first time after years, I enjoy listening to some music just from the phone itself
I've been testing my phone on AnTuTu Benchmark v.7.0.6 and I've noticed a shocking resoult. The fastest phone was (not Samsung) but
1. Honor V10
2. Huawei Mate 10 Pro
4. Huawei Mate 10.
16. Huawei Mate 9
24. Honor 8 Pro
26. Honor 9
30. Huawei P10
36. Huawei P10 Plus
39. Huawei P9
40. Honor 8
Could You direct me please and tell which one of them has the best performance to price ratio and which one of them makes good pics/videos (specially [email protected])?
Which one should I buy?
Either honor v10 or mate 10 pro with 4000mah battery, I am using US mate 10 pro, battery lasts a solid 2 days with moderate usage. Also takes beautiful pictures, if you are only interested in pictures then nothing beats Google pixel phones.
Youtube tests are bull****...trust me..i bough mate 10 pro and it sucks when it comes to games i just send device to waranty to see whats happening...the problem is that after some minutes of playing device gets warm and starts to downgrade the speed of processor ...so why having a proc that is clocked at 2.3ghz while it cant hold that frequency for more that 5 or 10 minutes then it drops to 1.6ghz...i would not advice u to go for a huawei device if ur looking for a proper android gaming device go for one plus 5 or galaxy S devices.hope it clears ur mind and dont fall for those fake YT reviews becouse every device can deliever good results at fresh start. OU YEA when it comes to pictures mate 10 pro is a solid performer maybe not the best but definetly top 5 atm.Pictures are bit darker then the rest but has very good details and video recording is somewhere in the middle when u compare to competition.
I partially agree with the previous comment.
The gaming performance is poor after 5-10 minutes although my mate 10 pro does not even get hot. Video recording is also not a strong feature. It only records with low quality. Samsung videos look much more detailed. I don't understand why though. It ships with 128gb of storage why is it just recording with 25mbit/s compared to the 50mbit/s Samsung.
All in all the biggest selling point of the mate 10 pro is the battery. I ditched my s8+ for it... I can't use all the features if my battery died in the afternoon
please dont missinform people. all phones throttle. including your "proper gaming devices"
for example https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/81stn4/samsung_galaxy_s8_throttling/
I guess that throttling issues are more related to Mali GPUs. The snapdragons and, mainly, the almighty Nvidia GPUs (Nvidia Shield, for example) have less throttling issues I think. According to GSM Arena's Mate 10 Pro Review it does throttle significantly. Kirin and Samsung own CPU are top notchs, on pair with Snapdragons (as benchmarks shows), but the GPUs aren't.
Although I guess that we can play satisfactory with the Mate 10 Pro, can't we?
Sorry about the lot of "guesses" but my Mate 10 Pro doesn't arrived yet, so I can't claim anything at this moment. And of course, I apologise for my English. Not my first language.
Enviado de meu Moto G usando Tapatalk
well its thermal protection so some kind of throttling is normal. personaly iv had no problem with asphalt xtreme after 30 mins. cpu was probably scaling down, but had no clear frame drops. we only have exynos samsungs here and i can say its not better one bit from mate gaming wise. cant say bout snapdragon. i apologise for harsh tone beore, but just wanted to point out that what ever phone you buy you will find therads about lag, stutter, degradation in performance over time etc. about heat, there isnt mutch of it. about 50c after some time gaming. in the end listen to yourself on purchase. photos are nice, video records in 1080p 60hz. i agree bitrate is low but hey. and last, battery is ****ing insane.
WOW, that were the most informing couple of replys I've ever seen od XDA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH XDA Friends.
You've have helped me a lot with my decision making!
Keep up the great work!
Help me to make a decision what phone I should buy for my wife.
I like both phones and read and have seen a lot of reviews on the net and YouTube. Both phones looks great and have great performance even the camera looks stunning on both phones.
But I really don't know what phone to choose and what you can recommend me.
Which phone have the best performance, camera and battery.
Thanks in advance.
My wife love to take a lot of photos!
What will your wife appreciate more, a better camera system and a better battery or the 90 Hz display and a headphone jack?
Even I've thinking about this in regards to my Mate 20 Pro, but I think I'll keep this one even though I love the 90hz
Also thinking about it while i have the Mate 20 pro and can still return it..
To consider as well is IP rating, wireless charging and slightly more compact format for the late 20 pro (if you can call 6.4' compact)
think the mate 20 pro the better choice for non tech user, EMUI should be more friendly and the camera should produce better results for point and shoot..
For XDA people, if I was sure I could unlock the bootloader on the realme I would jump
Man was this bumpy ride.
So i've sold my mi8 a few weeks ago and tried few other phones:
First, i bought Samsung Note 9 - 430eur
- great phone, but a rubbish front camera, bad back camera portrait mode, no gcam support.
Then mate 20 pro - 450eur
- great camera but slow fingerprint reader, emui is a mess.
Then s10 - 510eur
- managed to endure just few days with this phone. Exynos version, horrible battery life, barely gor 3h of SOT.
Then oneplus 7 pro - 600eur
- I loved this phone, but man was it big and heavy.
So now i ordered my good trusty mi8 back. Great in hand feel, great camera with gcam, good battery life, and fasters fingerprint possible.
Is it perfect phone, no: big notch, no ultrawide camera, no ip rating or wifi charging.
But for 200eur it gives better user experiance then anny other phone.

I know what you mean. I owned Mi6 which was (and still is) a wonderful phone but I wanted to try something else. Changed a bunch of them but not one was a worthy replacement until I bought Poco f1, which was excellent, but touch problems were driving me nuts so I sold it.
Recently I bought Mi9t, but fingeprint and popup camera were so annoying I sold it and got a Mi8 which is a heck of a device, slim, light, fast and better phone to use than majority of new devices with their trendy but "pain in the ass" features (in -display fps, popup camera etc...)
Overview:
Samsung: currently One Ui is the best oem skin in my opinion, but they are too expensive, and their midrange phones are destroyed by competition in every aspect except for the screen quality. Have bad fps scanners and Exynos versions have lack of support.
Xiaomi: Best bang for buck, excellent fps, excellent support etc...only problem is battery drain on some Miui versions...
Huawei: Great hardware with the worst software...Emui is just ugly and outdated and really needs some refreshment. Also they are like android version of iOs, everything is locked, support is rubbish and you really need some knowledge to amuse yourself with some custom roms and tweaks.
Oneplus: Best of all in all regards, not so cheap anymore but they dont need to be, and they shouldn't be. Cameras not top notch but excellent support, superb displays, software etc... No matter what the price, the best.
LG: Good phones, but too expensive. V50 is maybe the best phone out there, but people are just not interested in them anymore, so the support will suffer also. Probably will follow HTC down the drain.
Nokia/Motorola/Sony: Not worth mentioning. Average at best, lack too many things....Was a fan of Sony for years, but after owning a few of them I was dissapointed. Motorola had some superb phones but they started to make same things like Nokia, midrange phones that nobody wants to buy, and I can't blame them.
Oppo/Vivo/Asus: They make some interesting phones, especially Realme who is destined to be the next xiaomi...looks promising but availability is still limited.
The only thing about which I'm not so excited is Miui 11....they messed up the system animations and make navigating the system slower than on Miui 10. I hoped it would make more sense to simplify things....but they didn't. If they don't change something I think this is my last Xiaomi device...

I don't understand people like you, this is a forum. If you want short messages then chat with your mother on whatsapp. If you're not interested in what other people have to say, you can just leave or shut up
@CROrION, @mejgs
I completely agree! I have also owned many very expensive phones and the mi8 is by far my favorite. My son has a Samsung Note 9 and I will take my Mi8 anyday over his or his Wife's iPhone XS. No doubt, I love this phone and will stay with it for at least another year or two, and then I will buy another Xiaomi.
I have been a happy mi8 owner. Actually it's my first Xiaomi phone, and gosh, can't go back to others.
I have been tempted to upgrade to mi9 and 9T pro. However, after listening to comments from brothers/sisters here, i think i will keep my loyal mi8.

Yeah, not worth it, and it's coming from my personal experience. The only thing that's better on 9t Pro are looks (subjective)...Usability wise Mi8 is better. I even get the same battery life even though 9t has a larger battery...

i absolutely know how you feel, i had this experiece as well with MI8, P20 pro, Mate 20 pro and even the Mi9
Now i've a p30 pro and my girlfriend is using the Mi8. The photos of the mi8 with gcam are stunning and in some situations it knocks out the p30 pro easily (i terms with HDR)
the only reason i prefer the p30 pro is in battery life and for the reason it has a ultra wide angle lens.
Otherwise i would switch to mi8 back again.
Yes. Mi 8 is a great device. Especially with Miui 11 and Xiaomi.EU and GCam. Got it few weeks ago, but just as a spare and flashing phone. My daily driver is a s9+ Exynos with oreo and GCam and I absolutely love it. Made some GCam comparison between these phones. Almost identical but a big advantage is that the mi 8s SD offers instant zero shutter lag pictures. That's not possible with my s9+. And yes of course my s9 Gcam also doesn't offer a night mode. But that's ok. A Mi 8 with Stereo Speaker and QI would be so freaking awesome.

Yeah, I don't understand why Xiaomi cant build a phone with stereo speakers. I don't really care about wireless charging but the addition of Dolby and an extra speaker would be amazing. It's the only thing that I am missing from my old Le Pro 3, it had the most amazing speaker sound quality.

Most people who care about sound quality will use wired or bluetooth headphones.
How good can a small speaker sound on a small phone? Not to mention there is so much ambient noise? It's quite pointless.

That is your opinion, it seems that you haven't heard quality speakers on a phone. You would be surprised with how good it can sound. But of course it doesn't compare to larger speakers, with a default flat frequency range.
"It's quite pointless" What is the point of your post? Yes, I have high quality Bluetooth speakers. In fact several different types large and small. You don't see the value that is fine, stick with buying whatever you want. my point was that many phone manufacturers release phones with dual speakers. Xiaomi, doesn't seem to have any recently released phones with stereo speakers
I want stereo speakers because I play musical instruments and I don't always have the a bluetooth speaker with me, many decent quality phones also have pretty decent omnidirectional microphones, which are great for recording scratch tracks with an acoustic guitar. FYI scratch tracks are basically riff ideas, that you save and later build a complete song with those ideas. Another fun thing to do, is once you have recorded 8 bars, you can then loop it and then solo or play arpeggiated phrasing over top of the loop It's definitely a lot of fun. Stereo speakers enhance it and can further provide the ability to hear manually made effects, if merging multitracks.

Can You share where did U order it from, Matija?
I gave my 6/256 MI8 to my Dad. I am planning to get Mi 10....but I might just as well get another MI 8...not sure if MI 10 will be worth the price..compared to MI8...I do a lot of low light pics..and Aquarium pics...and MI 8 was awesome in that area.....
I order it in November 2019 by www.banggood.com in Spain.
I pay about 280€
was determined to buy the s10 lite but I saw some comparison videos on the camera and now I'm changing my mind. The photos look "washed out" compared to other phones in the same price range.
I thought about: xiaomi mi 10 lite, one plus nord, honor 20 pro, huawei p30.
Do you recommend me? (without curved edges)
THANK YOU!!!

S10lite has a great camera
I've previously owned Xiaomi, Huawei and OnePlus devices. All were good in their own way. However, truth be told, the stability, battery life, speed of the S10 Lite is quality, such as are Samsung products overall. I still have my Mi 8 device, which I use for work, it's ok and Miui 12 is cool, but battery life suffered. Huawei, well to be honest it is slightly like a lesser version of Xiaomi, and as Honor is based upon Huawei there are close similarities. OnePlus make good phones. I haven't had the Nord but out of the 2 I'd still lean towards the S10.
I was always someone who liked rooting my device, playing around with kernels etc. You cannot do this with the S10. But, for me, this one time I'm stopped doing it from a practical sense (i.e. it is way too much effort!) I honestly do not miss it! Camera is good, I can still side load everything I want, good storage, great battery life, what's not to like?
