There will be no pro version. There will be a CC9 on the global miui

Worth for a lot of reasons, the amoled screen is amazing, the battery life is incredible, the cameras are great. I have no regrets at all.

It will be Mi 9 Lite

Same as natanfranghieru. Battery life is just amazing compared to A2 (2-3 days standby and almost 8-9 hs SOT). The cameras are better and camera2 API comes enabled by default. Headphone Jack. AMOLED is great if you don't care too much about resolution (I think the display is better, but that's my opinion). The size of the phone is more confortable in the hand. Great upgrade for me.

Hey guys I have 3 weeks the Huawei p9 lite 2gb ram 2016 edition .. it's a little slow, and the 2gb Ra is not enough for me because I am using Facebook messenger, Instagram etc etc .. is it worth to sell the p9 lite for 150 and buy the redmi note 4 Snapdragon 3gb ram with 160 euro ? What about the ram management? The speed of the processor etc ? Please give me more details about redmi note 4 , I know it's specs but I am not sure if it is Worthing. Thanks .
P9 Lite pros: NFC, Camera, Audio quality.
Redmi Note 4 is better at pretty much everything else.

It's not big difference, but Xiaomi is notorious for poor camera quality even in flagships. They use decent sensors, but optics are most important and they are lacking in this aspect.
But there are some ported camera apps that improve the quality by good margin. You can search for Redmi Note 4 camera samples and see for yourself.
It's really Snapdragon 625 which makes this phone great, there is not that many phones which can achieve 10-12 hours SoT with 2 days of usage, and Redmi Note 4 can do it.
Overall Redmi Note 4 is way better than P9 Lite, i think it's no brainer if you can sell your old phone.

Alright thanks, what about the speed ? I am running multiple apps at the same time , which apps consume a lot of ram usage .. like Facebook, messenger, Viber etc.. would I see any good difference?

Obviously you gonna see difference since you are switching from 2 to 3GB of RAM.. even better if you could get 4GB RAM variant.

Nah the 4gb version costs 215 euro almost.. i don't want to spent so much money. I hope the redmi note 4 will be faster than the p9 lite that's s.ucks. every day need 2 times charge.. what about the note 4's battery consumption ???
Battery is super awesome...
Yep battery is absolute beast on RN4, main selling point.

I am using redmi note 4 and I can say one thing you would feel the power in your hand it's awesome taking about ram and performance it's a beast in that budget range. I don't have any kind of complaints regarding the performance and app switching works awesome it's pretty decent and battery life is insane . Camera sucks in low light in daily light its good. Sound quality is great and decent but I hate miui
Keep P9 Lite.

Xiaomi (redmi series) also have a big problem (its big for me) microphone is very very bad, example if u want to record some moment in concert the sound quality is rubbish its like u record with some phone from 2005, my nokia n9 that is 2011 video record sound is very very clear compared to redmi note 4 i also had redmi 3, had same problem, my GF have p9 lite and its amzing i did mistake that i not go for that phone

First, MIUI (xiaomi) sucks a lot, but EMUI (Huawei) sucks a lot lot lot more.
Second, they all runs under Android, so in software they are pretty the same.
And third, RN4 (at least international version) has a Snapdragon, P9 have a custom cpu (Kirin or something) so in 1 year, when with our RN4 whe can test the lastest Android 9, P9 Lite will cry for having Android 8.
No guys I bought the RN4 it's awesome, I had the RN3 few years ago but after RN3 I had a lot of phones like s6 edge s7 edge s6 mi max galaxy note 4 etc.. RN4 is good but the brightness is low and it's too heavy for me. For its money 150 euro it's a beast, I bought the p9 lite for 200 euro and sucks, the camera was little bit better, brithness and colours better, but small screen 5"2 and it was easier to keep on your hands.. and don't forget emui has better UI I think that the miui..
When the sun light is bright is so annoying because you can see on the phone .. RN4

They runs on Android.. and Samsung runs Android and try compare Miui with emui and TouchWiz...
I know its Snapdragon... And the android versions is really not important in a phone... There no difference in android 6 and 7 ... And there will be not big difference with 7 and 8 .. and maybe u dreaming that u will run android 9 or at least 8 u need be happy this device getting android 7...

I don't compare useless UI with useless UI.
MIUI, EMUI, Touchwizz .. they're all practically the same (they all contains bloatwares, useless apps, ...)
Seriously, since Android 4, the stock UI is self-sufficient.

I'm comparing the phone to the P9 Lite.
And comparing it to the P9 Lite, the RN4 is better in almost every points (cheaper, better battery, better performance, more ram, custom roms ...)
P9 Lite is maybe better a Photo /camera, but if this point is crucial to you, there a way better phones than this one (a motorola for example or a lenovo p2 ...)
I've already have a Huawei phone previously, so I know how Huawei manage their update.
And since its not a Snapdragon but a custom CPU, custom rom are merely inexistent, and development will stop one Huawei stop releasing their sources

display always on or not?

hi guys , what do you think about always on function? if it used for long time, it shows the information ever in same position of display, do you thinked that the display will degrade?
i know that question is more valid for oled display more than amoled display, oled contains organic component
Allways on function in mate 10 pro?? Where is it in the handy?
Mine will go a bit lower every minute, so it's not in same position

I didnt think the mate 10 had AOD? Techzilla said in his 48hr review it doesnt which was the deciding factor in me not buying it.

Techzilla made a mistake. It is clearly in the menus and I use it all the time. It is really nice to look at on this amoled panel.
There were also rumours for a while claiming that the Mate 10 pro was going to have double tap to wake features too.

However the LG g6 has an always on display even though it's an IPS panel.
However I don't think the always in display is as effective because the blacks on the screen won't be true blacks.

Well technically both IPS and AMOLED can have Allways On Display. However, implementing it in a IPS panel is a non sense because the battery should discharge a lot faster.
I'm sorry I did not state it clear on the previous post.

Yeah I know. Hence i clarified in the post before this one.
I'm really impressed that is has the always on display feature, I did not know it did and strumbled on a video showing how to turn it on.
It's wank
It used to make my screen freeze on unlock before 128
It doesn't freeze now on 128 but I've turned it back off
I prefer my screen off when not using it
AOD, finally got it....on 137 update...c636...nyc ota
anyone tried using 3rd party apps for AOD?

Buying Oneplus 7T Pro in 2020

Hello All,
I am planning to buy oneplus 7t pro in upcoming sale. Is it worth going for? How is the custom from development support for this device ?
I know its already a year old device but if development support is good then I can expect at least till Android 13 for this device.
How is the device itself first ?

Custom rom support are not that great for 7tp.....but you will get android 13 for sure.. great phone ..better than op 8... only problem is less better camera than 8 series...and custom rom support is dying day by day... it's very unfortunate that Google is trying to take control over android security.. that's why 7t and 7t pro has no twrp with the ability to decrypt data in twrp recovery.so now it's you who has to take decision...

I bought the same model just a week ago because it was a great value today UNDER 600 dollars and it ticked all the boxes for what I basically wanted. I have a P30 Pro as well, and while I'd say it gets better battery life overall and that the camera can take better shots in SOME conditions, the gap isn't really that great. Most of the shots I've A/B with random people have chosen the OP7T Pro shots over the P30 Pro. It does get better brightness at night, but the details are lacking and seem over-processed. The P30 Pro definitely has a faster shutter.
After much deliberation I just received mines yesterday. I had a Mi 9 SE which was ghost touching on me so I had to change over asap. Figured I'd give OnePlus another go, I'd owned the one, the two, and now the 7t pro.
Really happy with the decision so far, just need to get used the massive size. Runs kinda hot tho, but that just maybe because I've been using it quite intensely for the last day or 2.
I'm happy with the decision.
I am also thinking of buying the 7T PRO or the Redmi K300 Pro ZOOM edition.
I am currently using a S8 PLUS and I would like a better camera.
I was supposed to get the S20 FE 5G but in my country Samsung only released the Exynos variant.

You'll probably get more software updates with the OnePlus. That's what tipped it for me.

A better camera is more important to me than future software updates.
Would you still recommend the 7T Pro over the K30 PRO zoom edition?

Haven't seen that model or used it, so I couldn't comment, but I can compare it to the P30 Pro I own. I'd say that the P30 camera is better in 70 percent of photo scenarios, but it does lack detail often. The P30 tends to over-sharpen images and smooth faces too much, even without portrait features on, whereas the OP7TPro does tend to have more noise in low-light, but produces a more accurate rendering of color and better fine detail, ironically.

I'm also looking to buy a 7T Pro but I would like McLaren international edition for use in the US. Any one have any suggestion on where to get one in the US? If I was to buy a CN edition off Alibaba could I easily flash it to the international rom?
Planning to buy it also because it has nice hardware (no hole on the screen), and supports LineageOS.

If you want a device just like the 7T pro but with far more rom support as well as extended custom development, then Id go for the 7 Pro. Both are pretty much the same device, except youd be more satisifed with 7 Pro as it has a much larger community surrounding it and there's alot of things you can mod on the device without having to deal with the new android 10 dynamic partitioning that made TWRP not fully functional on the 7T pro
Wifi + bluetooth unstable connection
I bought the phone too.
So far everything is fine - except wifi stability issues (seems to be affected by bluetooth being on).
I don't understand how this still can be a thing. I read posts about this model having this problem a year ago.
How is this possible?
I did update the phone to the 10.0.12.HD01BA and tried all the suggested solutions (reseting network settings, switching airplane mode on and off.... one thing I haven't tried is factory reset) yet the problem still persist, it's occassional, but.... I'm still kind of disappointed.
For my part I had the 7pro and now I have the 7T pro and the 2 are very good ... I must say that I still have some frustration from the 7t pro, less good battery and twrp which is not 100% functional which gave me some headaches for the rest it is like the 7pro the best device i have had, for those who wonder why i got the 7 pro and the 7t pro? Between the 2 I decided to try the samsung note 10 plus ... but what a bad choice lolll and I had already sold my 7 pro so I wanted to try the 7T pro.
I have just bought OP7TPro today. It runs like a champ. Only not so good thing is camera. But GCam blew me way. Definitely a great buy if the price is right.

Best rom for Redmi Note 9S

But where are this roms?thanks
I found that miui 12 is not well optimized (frequent stuttering, poor memory management, etc) so i now use miui eu 11. Custom roms not based on stock roms have always had to cut too many corners to work so I now almost always use custom roms based in stock rom.
Also, in your question you need to specifically explain what you mean by "best". That way people will be sure what you consider to be a best feature.

any roms with wifi calling working?
Stock Rom supports wifi calling straight out of the box. This however seems to differ from user, location and Carrier.
I am on EE in the UK, WiFi calling works and displays the icon in the notification bar. VoLTE also works flawlessly.
I didn't have to do anything special to enable both.
Not sure if any custom Roms have this support, but it would be interesting to know.
