Hi,
I am thinking of buying a 9R. I am hearing negative comments about display regarding tint issue, flickering at low brightness. Some are saying they have not faced any display issue. So, I'm little hesitant.
I'm looking for a phone with following priorities:
- Flickering is a concern for me; I mostly use my phone in dark room with phone brightness below 30% (current phone: Redmi note 8 Ginkgo with IPS LCD - I like its display);
- Close to true color display. no to boosted color/over-saturated display;
- I want an android phone with usb 3.1 standard (for quick data transfer);
- clean/light ui or stock android;
- good build quality;
- I dont play games on phone;
- Camera like Sony IMX 586 will be ok for me. (I liked the camera quality of age old Nokia N8, it has very true color reproduction)
Will it be okay for me to switch to 9R?
I mean, not sure what you are expecting. It's a OnePlus. Software is mediocre, updates are late / non-existent, often buggy. Notifications are delayed. Hardware is often plagued with faults here and there. But we buy it because it's cheap and the dev scene usually is good. This does not really apply to the 9R because its a niche device, niche market.
> - clean/light ui or stock android;
That's not OxygenOS tho, lol. It became a super heavy skin the past few years, versions.
I am not trying to hate, I am also pondering about the purchase. It is cheap after all, and it's top of the line chipset, even with OnePlus's sneaky limitations ( https://www.notebookcheck.net/OnePl...aims-leaves-a-lot-to-be-desired.549823.0.html ).
Trying to decide if I should buy a Mi 11 Lite 5G (way lighter, but similarly bad OS); Pixel 4a (superb phone, bad battery, costs a lot for the hw) or this.
If you're thinking about Oneplus 9R. Oneplus Nord 2 is a better value for money option. Go with Oneplus Nord 2

How's it turning out to be? Any gripes with it? Like Battery life/heating issues etc. etc.?
You planning to try flashing 8T Lineage to it?

It's still on OOS 11.2.LE28DA (have not updated)
1. I'm not happy with the screen - this is my first android with amoled - didn't like black smearing - brightness control response not smooth - there is an off axis(45degreesh) light pink tint (even type not patchy) (noticeable on white, not a deal breaker for me, it's visible if you look for it) - well I didn't face any other tint issue ---- High quality/Color accurate IPS screen could have been used. And side mounted fingerprint sensor (which would have been much faster than in-screen FP sensor.)
2. Battery doesn't drain fast on idle (I have disabled the usual stuff - location/wifi scan/bluetooth scan/some other small things). - but battery consumption is little more than usual on daily use (browsing, social media apps, phone calls, [NO Gaming]).
Strange thing: Yesterday, on 4G single sim (data on, moderate to full signal, no wifi), with 120hz refresh rate, moderate use, ~2hrs youtube music, ~1.5hrs poweramp music, some insta/fb/twtr/google/browsing, the battery lasted ~2days (@15% remaining battery - 3H 43M voice call, 3H 28M SOT)
I noticed sometime it uses more battery on wifi.
3. Main camera is okay in good light. It suffers in low light/indoor lighting (tuning is not done properly by oneplus.) [Main camera sensor could have been improved in this price range] (I didn't use other back cameras that much)
4. Front camera is okay.
5. Headphone jack could have been given.
---------------
This phone is now my daily driver; so I'm not planning to flash custom rom. I flashed lineage os 17.1 on my redmi note 8 (Ginkgo).
On wifi, screen on 120hz RR, single 4g sim, no gaming, no music listening, ~30 mins voice call, light social media-firefox browsing:

I keep reading in all tech news about how the Galaxy Note 8 will miss the "Game Changing" fingerprint scanner under the display (example article link below). I don't get it. And here's why:
A fingerprint scanner is a mean to unlock your phone. It's not an actual feature you use. It's not something that will give you a better experience when you actually use your phone. For example, if you prefer the iris scanner, or you don't even lock your phone, that's it. You won't even be using it. And you will not be missing on anything since it's not a feature based on usage experience. It's not even something that should be advertise as a "game changing" feature. It doesn't change anything.
There are way more important game changing feature that the Note 8 could have:
- Dual Speakers for better hearing experience when sharing music with your friends, or just listening to music when working or chilling, especially when you do not want to use headphones. Dual Speakers means stereo music experience. This is a true improvement.
- 4K Display would mean better VR experience without the screen door effect. Now that's an improvement I kept advertising in previous threads already.
- Dual Camera or even Stereoscopic Cameras for optical zoom and 3D shooting when needed. And even 180 degree 3D camera. Now that's "game changing". It gives you the option, if you wish so, to shoot in 3D or in 180 degree. It's something more you can do with your phone. It's a new feature.
But for some reason way beyond me, the whole tech media prefers to focus on a "Fingerprint scanner under the display"...
----------- One could argue that "Yeah but a fingerprint scanner under the display is also an improvement".
It would be naive to think so. Because it is not. A Fingerprint scanner under a display doesn't improve in anyways your experience when unlocking your phone. Let me explain:
There are no technical differences between unlocking your phone by pressing a home button with integrated fingerprint scanner or pressing an area of the display with a fingerprint sensor under it. For you it's the exact same gesture, the same "unlocking experience". You put your finger in a specific area, and the phone unlock.
In fact, it doesn't even make a technical difference if the sensor is under a home button, under a display, under a speaker, on the back of the phone, under the camera, on the side of the phone, on the top bottom left, very little to the right, yes right there, etc... You still have to put your finger on that area for the phone to unlock.
An improvement would be "The Phone Unlocks Wherever you Press on the Display". Ok. Now that would be an improvement I would accept to argue against. "Hey, wherever I touch my phone, it unlocks immediately". Now yes. This is an improved experience. I still wouldn't care for it, but i would accept it as an improvement.
But tech is not there yet. And you, pressing a specific area under a display or anywhere else, doesn't make any difference and is NOT Game Changing.
--------------- But enough of what I think. Maybe I am missing something. So that's why I started a Poll. Please vote and please share your opinions.
PS: Here's a link to one of the articles I am talking about. There are many like this one.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordon...ice-cost-expensive-release-date/#38711146202b
I could careless about finger print at the back, its bad but I will use the Iris scanner Or pattern its not a huge deal when you find alternative. I also do not care about 6 of RAM That much unless samsung figures out how to take advantage of it. I also do not care for 3300 Mah battery since the new processors are reducing power consumption and s8 plus taught us a lesson about lower mah with larger screen on time.
What I would love to see:
- Better battery life (6 Hours Minmum even on Full HD At least!)
- New S Pen features That are innovative
- Faster
- that it doesn't explode or suffer in water resistance test
- that it comes with 128 gb sd card gift
- That bixby some how interacts with the S Pen.
- The the S Pen got the ability to read Text for me.
Other Wise I am not really complaining no thing to complain in the Note 8 it looks almost perfect (ignore finger print that has an alternative or 4k because it drains the battery). as for Dual Horizontal camera samsung must have a reason for this. 4k sucks because VR Is pointless for me at moment, it will increase the battery and display resolution causing cost problems and battery drain for the back I don't care how pretty or ugly it is. it can't be any worse than the Note 5.
What I am loving so far :
- The fact it supports SD Cards. I am buying 200 GB SD Card with the 64 GB Model giving me a total of 230 GB Of Storage (because sd card will be 180 GB total and the 64 gb model will need about 10 GB Of storage for the Stock ROM). Pretty enough for me!
- The fact the screen is Huge and Bezeless Perfect to write on using the S Pen!
I am waiting until samsung surprises me with the Software features of the Note 8.
P.S : Here is the Rumored S Pen :

Ive long wanted to see front firing speakers in samsung devcies...would be awesome.
Now that apple sort of does it samsung should really step up.
I prefer the fingerprint sensor on the back ever since my nexus 6p but not up by the camera like on my s8 plus...its not bad but not ideal either
I didnt like the front sensors on my s6, s7 edge and note 7 because you had to press to turn the screen on then unlock which is stupid.
Sent from my S8+, S7 edge or S6
Hi everyone,
I have today bought my S9 + and I am so happy. Just when I tried super slow motion I noticed a big problem.
If I start the camera on any other mod it is normally, the room is well lit with 4-5 super strong LED lights, but as soon as I start super slow motion, the screen gets really dark, so dark, that it is not usable at all
Anyone have the same issue?
I am thinking about bringing it back tomorrow, because they have to give me a new phone if it is within the first 8 days.
Here is an example:
Auto mode:

With more fps, you need more light.
That Super Slow Motion requires a lot of lighting in order to be useful, but it happens also with normal videos. Try 4K in 30 and fps and you will notice the same behaviour.
@Galaxo60
Thanks, I know that, so I will try anyway tomorrow with daylight. But my room is very very good lit, with 4-5 LED lights. I also came across this guys with the same issue :/

This is a normal behavior of slow motion in a room with led or any other light except daylight... If you try it outside in the day light you will notice that there isn't any issue.... That has to do with slow motion and led light that is always flickering (you can't see it with your eyes but the camera can)
It's normal. The camera takes 1000 pictures per second. You can emulate it by going into pro mode and set the shutter speed to 1/1000 and you'll see a similar result. If you want a reasonable result inside you will need professional LED panels, standard LEDs won't be bright enough. Here's a test I did and it looks fine:
Thank you all. I tested it now outsides with daylight and it works perfectly fine
I just got my s9+ and it behaves the same except when I am outside in full light, then it is very well lit and works flawlessly. The slow motion camera is designed to be used in high light scenarios so even though your house is highly lit up you will still see a darker screen and even flickering as this isn't adequate lighting for this mode
I'm not sure that's normal, my screen doesn't get so dark when I enter super slow mo, even when I'm not outside
As I'm sure many others have said (feel free to delete this comment if its just repeating already said content), the higher the frame rate, the more light you need to capture it, so in some instances, its almost impossible to use it. I cant use it in my home at night, with just the light on. However, the standard slow motion setting seems to be fine, light wise (which is 240fps, so still pretty decent).
Its a novel feature for sure, and if you time it right, very very cool (although the other day I sent a video of my child splashing some water in her swimming pool and my sister said "why do u do that stupid slow motion thing" so I guess not everyone appreciates the coolness of it ) but I've found that timing it right is a whole other task in itself.
I also faced the same issue. It happened inside the room. So insufficient light may be the issue. Not only the phone got stuck up but it also became very hot. Eventually I switched it off and switched on after some time.
I have these issue too ! And sometimes the slowmotion is reversed (end to start).
clear data and than apply
you can clear the data
As someone stated earlier, it's a problem with how LED lights use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to simulate dimming of an incandescent bulb. Our eyes don't perceive this because of POV (Persistence of Vision). The same thing happens with incandescent bulbs due to the frequency (60 hertz in the US) or the AC power. Here are a few links explaining this in detail and why it's important for photographers and high speed videographers alike: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explor...er-free-lights-and-why-they-are-important-you

Hello all,
I am currently looking for a small phone with a headphone jack at around $200-250. The XZ1 is really tempting for $240 with flagship features but my only gripe is the battery capacity and how difficult it is to replace it later on. The moto X4 on the other hand, can be had for $200 which is around the same dimensions as the Sony and easier to have the battery replaced with some mid range specs. What in your opinion is a better value in 2019? How is your xz1 holding up so far?
Bro, to be honest I would have clearly gone again and again with the xz1. Here is their difference in detail : https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8804&idPhone2=8634#diff-*,*,*
.
Battery is always important but you get twice performance from the xz1
Also, Chipset, CPU and GPU clearly greater which is the biggest effects on the performance
For the Camera you wont regret it believe me
Battery it is 300mAh less but is clearly the winner (check the link above : Battery life XZ1= 82h endurance rating Moto X4= 64h endurance rating)
for which I can tell you without any root or any Stamina I am seeing 6 hours of screen time and it rocks from the performance.
Moreover, Xz1 was the high end phone of that period when it came out.
The above ones were the details, and I just believe that it is a decent phone for that money, no need to go with another midrange phone since their support is also good. But this is my opinion.
I picked up a brand new XZ1 about two weeks ago from amazon, and I'm floored at how fluid it is, certainly compared to the XZ I was using previously. It's running Android Pie without any obvious issues, and battery life is one and a half days easily, with seven and a half hours screen on time minimum. I paid £199.00 on Amazon, the design is stunning, and it's arguably one of the last great xperias. The only points I would flag are that the camera is competent but not exceptional, and android support will end towards September 2019, although the value for money is tremendous and criticism in the main focuses upon the bezels, which is slightly ridiculous as you can clearly see what you're buying before you commit. It's shockingly good at it's current price......

Thank you for the responses. Did you guys update to Pie? If so, how is the battery life now? I've read some user complaints about xz1c that new updates causing battery drain.
I updated to Pie immediately, so it's all I've known on this handset. At the time of writing, I've used about one third of the battery, which has delivered almost three hours' screen on time. Battery drain overnight is almost a flatline (XZ1 handset, UK firmware, February security patch)......

XZ1 all the way. Better in all aspects. Phones built like a tank with a 3.5 mm jack.
Hello, I am a Mi 11 Lite 5G user (bought in Spain, from Orange). I have a Tianma Screen and since I updated to MIUI 12.5 (yesterday) the screen looks even worse than before. Instead of dark tones I see big green pixels using my device in dark mode or watching series and movies during night. I have this issue in all color modes (including P3).
I just wanted to open this thread to report it and to know if there more users with this problem. I know at least 3 more users with this problem here in Spain

Another example watching movies:
The smartphone on the top is the Mi 11 Lite 5G, on the middle Poco F3 and on the bottom Oneplus 8
Green tint issues are among OLED screen for a long time, here as reference: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/green-tint-on-screen.4262217/
Maybe Tianma has it even worse. Magnitude may be different between devices and screen.
If it's obvious, can try refund or replacement. Check your country Xiaomi warranty policy though. Sometimes after submitting replacement, even if you didn't get your replaced device, you will not be able to make refund.
@polfmarti I also have pixel clusters where there should normally be black shades. But I already had this problem with Miui 12. I thought it was a software issue, but maybe it's not? Btw i have Tianma display too....

I also had this issue with Miui 12 but with Miui 12.5 I see it more exaggerated. I don't know if it can be solved
This will be the last Xiaomi for me.... I am really disappointed with this phone
Is the same for me. Tianma screen here too. I have the same issue but I don't know if this started with 12.5 update... I think this problem was here before tbh.
Is not only the green tint issue but also a "pixelation" (square artifacts) on dark scenes. They can be seen in movies, images, or even the UI.

It is not pixelation but in line with Black Crush problem that plagued Samsung S9.
I have Tianma panel too and had said black crush problems. But 12.5 seems to have fixed it.
I haven't done a throughout test but LG OLED test on Youtube does not show any symptoms unlike before.
And story continues. WTF Xiaomi, making bad things worse with software? They of course know about the issue and now trying to sort out **** display with software updates. No chance!
I'm in touch with them and answer was kind of "yeah, we know displays are meh" but not straighforward of course. Trying to change mine in UK for device with Huaxing. Will let know if will be succesful.
It's disgraceful to put those displays in Lite version of flaghip phone...!

Another new thing since the 12.5 update: Blacks are no longer black. They are clearly grey, deep blacks don't exist anymore (except during HDR Youtube videos, which proves that it's a bug again....)
Wtf Xiaomi ?

I have about 2 months with a MI 11 Lite 5G, I do not use it yet as a main phone since I have a MI 9 Lite that works excellent, however when comparing the screens side by side, I notice that the screen of the MI 11 Lite 5g in the Backgrounds or contents with whites look yellowish, look in settings, change the color temperature to cool on all of them and it still shows yellowish white colors. Yesterday I received a MI 11 Lite 5g NE and when comparing them side by side the screen of the Mi 11 Lite 5g NE correctly shows the whites, no yellowish, do any of you have the same problem on your Mi 11 Lite 5G?
Hello everyone,
I would like to contribute to this forum by presenting my review on OPPO Reno8 5G that I have been using for 2 weeks now. Reno8 would be my first OPPO product that i use. A little bit about me is that i am a phone photographer who likes to shoot mainly in cityscape and architecture photography and i post my work in Instagram (@Redribbon26). i am very excited when i have the chance to test out Reno8 camera as part of being OPPO Ambassador.
The review would cover these areas which all of them comes from my experience using the phone.
1. Built Quality & Design
2. Phone Performance & Battery
3. Best ColorOS Features
4. Camera (part 1 & Part 2)
And i will share my conclusion about this phone as well.
Let's start with what's in the box for OPPO Reno8 5G. As you can see from the picture, it consists of:
1. The phone unit
2. 80W charger & USB-C cable
3. Sim ejector tool
4. Flexible transparent protective case
5. Guide on setup and safety
It is nice that the phone comes with a screen protector & protector case. This has saved me time and money to buy the basic accessories to protect my phone.

}
1. Built Quality & Design
[Color] Reno8 5G comes in 2 colors, Shimmer Black and Shimmer Gold. I received the Shimmer Gold, and the color really lives up to its name – shimmer and glow! The glow is the first thing that grabs my attention and I really love on how the back cover changes colors when it hits by lights.
Talking about first impression on physical appearance – trendy, eye-catching, and attractive. The matte-silver color for the side panel provides good color combination on the overall looks.
[Texture] the back panel surface is smooth to the touch, and it hides fingerprints and smudges well. It means i don’t need to clean it so often. I like it.
[Design] It looks sleek and minimalistic. The phone is slim, side buttons are flat with round edges and that shape is repeated on the bottom for speaker/microphone and charging port. Neat!
Up front, the camera is located at the corner top left. It won’t disturb the viewing experience. On the back, the triple camera setup is molded into the panel with protrusion which has smooth edges, thanks to the curve.
It feels easy to hold this phone. Ergonomic and lightweight. It has a nice grip and is comfortable to use single-handedly.
2. Phone Performance & Battery
[Performance] I take photos (sometimes videos), and edit the result using the phone. I have no complaints so far. It has been satisfactory. No lags, or app crash. The facts that Reno8 5G has 6.4 inch AMOLED display with FHD resolution, 8-bit color depth and 90Hz refresh rate have given me a smooth experience, especially during editing. I don’t really play mobile games, but I do watch movies from Netflix and Disney+. I don’t experience any lags.
[Battery] OPPO Reno8 5G comes with superfast 80W SUPERVOOC charger. Charging from 50% to 100% in 18 minutes. I did test that when I received the phone.
The phone has longer battery life. A full charge could last around 1.5 days. I am not a hardcore phone user, my typical daily usage includes texting, browsing products online, social media, checking emails, and few photo editing that usually consume battery more, as I need to set the screen at least at 75% brightness, in some instances, up to 100%. If there is any photo/video taking session, the battery could last almost a day.
3. Best ColorOS Features
Let's go to Part 2
