Currently own a Samsung Z flip 4 and honestly, I'm loving it. The only problem is that a lot of users are reporting about how fragile the hinge of this z flip 4 and I'm afraid mine will break down anytime soon.
With that I'm planning to sel this phone and switch to a traditional brick phone.
Currently my choices are Zenfone 9 or the Pixek 7. I'm looking for a compact phone with good specs and can last me at least 3 to 4 years before I upgrade. Need some feedbacks here on how the zenfone 9 is as my last asus device was the zenfone max waaay back 2015.
Massive differences in size between the phones. I'd say the camera on the Pixel is far superior, but how much does that matter to you? That's not to say the Zenfone 9 isn't good.
Although a few bugs have been reported, and Asus is fixing them, I'm happy with the phone. The battery is excellent; it feels very snappy. I don't miss wireless charging, the software is close to stock.
The best questions to ask yourself are, what are the important requirements you want from a phone?

Also 120hz vs 90hz. While some people don't see much of a difference for me it is notable downgrade.

Agreed! I know how my Pixel 5 feels versus my Zenfone 9; the difference in responsiveness is pretty significant!
If you want to use the phone 3 to 4 years then take note that the Asus only gives 2 years of updates

For those not averse to using custom ROMs, there's the possibility of unofficial support from volunteer developers. Not something I would recommend for common people, though!

Sorry to bump an old thread but as far as I can tell there are no Zenfone 9 custom ROMs? I've got a Pixel 5 that's on its last legs and I'd love to upgrade to something similarly sized but I don't want to lose all the Pixel-exclusive software features, sadly there arent any Pixel ROMs for Zenfone that I can find.

How is the camera? At 800e it's too expensive but I might snag one if it's on sale
I've selled sony Xperia 5 II for this device. For me is a great successor of Xz1 Compact and camera is no bad

Hey all,
I've been using a lumia 1020 for the last month or so. However being a long term Android user I'm really starting to think this was a bad choice.
Now ive been thinking about what to get next, but Android.
I've been looking at the recent Lg Nexus 5 and the Note 3.
Past phones I've had are.
Galaxy nexus
Xperia Z
Note 2
S4
Ive been mulling over the idea or the two phones above and i really dont know which one would suit me better.
I have been thinking about running a blog for something to-do as in the winter months are pretty boring where i am, I'm also into photography, the rest of the time i use the phone primarily for internet use, rather than a phone.
The nexus is raw android and i prefer that to touchwiz purely based on looks, not functionality, as this always something that bothered me on Samsung phones, obviously speed is affected too.
I like the camera and screen on the note 3, as the camera was good on my S4, and the extra screen space makes sense for internet use, however the N5 isn't exactly a small screen and i can tether my tablet.
But the battery life is a serious question as while the Nokia is windows phone it lasts 3 days, i need a lot of screen time and plenty of standby too.
One of the biggest things is price in the uk a N5 is £349 while the Note 3 is £530 (I've used 32gb models here)
So what you pick? Or what should i pick, if you need to know more about my usage to answer this please do ask.
Thanks to everyone who helps.

nexus 5 will have LTS,if you plan to use the Phone for more than 1 or 2 years i suggest N5. or else note
Personally I would (and am going to) go for the N5. Not a fan of phones with a screen over 5" or Samsung phones, so for me it's a no-brainer.

Budgets not a problem, but it's worth mentioning as it depends on whether the features are worth the extra.
I will probably keep the Phone for 1/ 2 years, as I change when something new comes out.
Well i'm not interested in the Sony, as the Z wasn't a very good phone and broke, physically twice.

Yeah see this is why i'm so torn,
The Samsung is a excellent phone, however Touchwiz was designed by Stevie Wonder in regards to the colours, but the actual phone underneath that is a powerhouse with some nice functions and a huge screen with excellent battery life, While the Nexus 5 is the raw experience I love but i'm concerned about the quality of the handset and battery life.
As long as the camera is capable of shots like the Note 3 i'm cool with that, the GF will probably still have the Lumia 1020 should I need something exceptional.
Hi all,
I am at a bit of a loss here. I am an avid Nexus user (see sig below) though i want to like the OnePlus 2 though i keep reading horror stories and concerns about throttling, charging and performance issues over time. It's like they made an awesome phone though failed with the software implementation.
I am hoping like a lot of issues on devices that the XDA community has addressed these problems with a nice Custom ROM..
Can people give me some honest feedback regarding their experiences? I have read a lot of reviews though its all using the Factory ROM. I want to know how good the device can be with a good community rom.
Please let me know thanks very much.
Buy a 6P or wait for the new nexus, really looking forward to get rid of my OPT.
oneplus2 far much better than 5X

OTP I've had too many small and big problems and bugs, I mean, the phone is usable but doesn't live up to it's specs and hype, software is the worst part of all, and if you are already a nexus user you will find annoying to wait for new versions of Android, also if you're into custom roms you should always stick to nexus.
And de 5X is too expensive for it's built and specs.
I mean personally I would think of other options, the Nexbit Robin seems really nice, or you can wait for the new phones that are coming.

You cannot go wrong with a Nexus - I am a OP 1 and 2 user. Came from Nexus 5(which still works).
OP2 now has everything working Custom ROM's but there are still niggles, which do not hamper you daily use. Community support is almost at par with Nexus. Fingerprint scanner is a bit fickle, I am having mine RMA'ed right now.
On the other hand... 5x is way to expensive for the specs being offered.. You could wait for new lineup this summer.. OP3, Motorola etc..
Obviously opt unless you want to settle for a less specifications mobile device for a higher price.
OP2 has better everything except OTAs which can be fixed with cyanogenmod. I'd pick up the OP2 or wait for the next nexus line.
Op2 is an awesome phone, just flash the latest hydrogen os build on it and compare it with a 5x... Everything in op2 is better even the camera...
Nexus 5X price is a joke. I would buy a N5 for 150$ before N5X lol
I wouldnt buy a phone with 2gb of ram and snapdragon 808 in 2016 anyways
I am also very satisfied with my 2. It just works rocking solid. And it has the best fingerprint Sensor out there, i really love it! So fast and accurate if you set it up correct.
But if i were you, i would wait for the 3. It should be out in july, so its not that long. If you want a phone now, just get the 2
got them both.
op2 has better specs.
5x feels cheaper, cooler, charges faster, has lower memory, lower ram, single sim and has a smaller screen.
both last 4-5hrs sot on my daily usage
personally i have my OPT on sale and have considered getting the nexus 5X instead (been some price drops here in uk). mainly because the OPT software is horrible, heats up quick, sluggish performance on stock rom, even though custom roms significantly improve the device its still doesnt feel like a flagship, i.e. some lag and small bugs here and there. in comparison my dads redmi note 3 and sisters OPO feel faster and snappier in comparison and in my side by side usage there both are smoother while scrolling.
also another thing ... people go crazy about specs and wanting a phone with the best possible hardware but they are forgetting the main thing the user experience. The oneplus 2 is culprit of this as it has the best specs but software is horrible that you are forced to use a custom rom
5x if the price is cheaper depending on your available sources. OPT very prone to fingerprint sensor failure and the RMA process apparently has been a nightmare to those unlucky enough to need a replacement or even any kind of hardware technical support really.
Go with anything other than OPT i regret now buying opt instead of Moto X variants or Nexus variant.
There is little to no support from the company for updates and they dont even release source code in time.
XDA community is there true but still isnt on par with devices who has their source code released.
It's been posted but compare the two and see what ya come out with.. On paper the OP2 is the better phone. I'm glad I got mine. I was down to the Nexus 6 or OP2 and I'm glad I did.
I'm sure your gonna root the thing.. So CM and updates will flow... So yeah.. Get the OP2
And despite what you have been told.. Oxygen 3.0 is a damn nice ROM. I was a slim ROM freak and I'm satisfied and very happy with MM update.. Yeah it's beta but it's rock solid.
Hell.. I would get a OPO over the 5X
Wait for new device.
A lot of users thinks oneplus2 is failed in China, me too.
Wish Oneplus3 will be better.
I am still with my OPT just because of the ability to use two SIM cards. That's just way more practical for combining work+private SIM. Atleast I prefer it over having to take two phones with me.
So if it wasn't for that, I would still be using my Nexus 5X, since there's just way better software support.
I hope the OnePlus 3 will change that.
Hello. I own Nexus 6 for 2-3 years, running purenexus rom and overall I must say I generally like this phone. But also I've tried Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and I was surprised how fine MIUI run and despite the fact I'm a fan of pure android how nice it looks and works. Maybe I am little bit bored of using the same phone for longer term and I would like to do some change.
I know my case is more about personal preferences, so I dont want to be convincing to different brand for example, my question is just technical.
If I replace my nexus 6 to redmi note 4, will I gain something? For example better camera, speed, performance, capabilities? Won't this be step back or staying on the approximately same level? High end older model for mid class newer one? Is it the right time to upgrade or better wait little bit longer for something better and stay with N6 for even longer time? What do you think about it?
BTW: mostly Im interrested in camera, if image quality of redmi 4 will be better or not... This is probably the most crucial point for me.
Thank you.

It is pretty obvious the camera will not be up to your expectations, I'd recommend the Redmi Note 5 Pro, if you're specifically looking for a better camera.
No, the Redmi Note 4 camera has nothing to be desired.
The phone itself is fine, though. Gets me through the day without charging, okay performance.
If you're looking to upgrade your phone for the camera I'd suggest to get the new Redmi Note 5 Pro or Galaxy S7 which price has been dropped significantly.

As a Nexus guy(myself), forget about Chinese phones. You will be greatly disappointed.
This is by far the worst phone I've got. This could be subjective opinion but I feel i need to warn you.
Ultimately, it's up to you.
So I'm looking for a new phone, with a bit more power.
Would you recommend this phone, I saw a couple of posts about sw issues, how serious is it?
I'm trying to decide between this one and the oneplus 10t, which is on sale right now.

Well, I haven't had software problems.
I come from a OnePlus9 pro and there I had more software problems. It would once crash and the screen would go black and couldn't be unlocked. I felt worse with the OP than I did with the Zenfone9.
Asus has updated my phone once every month. That in OnePlus did not happen to me.
In short, it depends on the personal experience of each one.
And if you can, go for the 16gb, but you will only have it black... I love red model! Snif...
I write to you from a black Zenfone9 16gb with the official beta of Android 13.
I would go for thisone over the 10T. OnePlus Software is just not good anymore. This fone is what OnePlus was onces.

Pretty much, the OP9 was the last OnePlus before they got fully merged into oppo. Check the OnePlus 10P/T forums here to see all the problems.
I came to this phone from OP 7T Pro, there are few things I don't like (the camera is not as great as I hoped and the bezels around the display are pretty huge, especially after coming from 7T Pro), but overall it is a great phone. The FP reader is the best I ever tried, it unlocks on instant, it cannot be any quicker, I love the small footprint, this is the main reason I went for this phone. I hate those huge 6.7"+ devices, I have short thumb. And all the small phones are usually low or mid tier, this one is a proper high tier phone, very smooth and fast.
The battery is also awesome, almost 2x better than my OP 7T Pro, which wasn't too bad either. And I'm using 120Hz and AoD, I'm getting 6+ SOT easily. With 7T Pro I was getting 3-4 hours SOT
SW wise it is great, as someone wrote before me, it is what OnePlus used to be. Clean Android experience with few extras. I didn't have any major bugs, just small details, but ASUS is nicely active on their support forum, we are reporting bugs and they are working on them.
I'm currently on the A13 beta and I haven't noticed any major issues so far, smooth experience, good for daily driver.
AND FINALLY the home gesture bug is GONE in A13! Now my Niagara Launcher experience is smooth.
But you cannot judge the phone based on the support forums, all you can find there are issues, right? Nobody is posting on forum about good experiences, people usually post only if they encounter any issue. And there are issues with every phone

Yeah I know, originally I planned to include something like "...of course people in support forums will always point out the issues..."
Thanks at all for the replies guess I'm going with this one!
Is this phone a good upgrade to the Pixel 5 ?
I've been satisfied with the pixel 5 in general - it feels great to hold, has good bezels, good camera and it's light.
Performance has been better than decent - for the apps and things I use it at least.
But still would like to have a snappier performance with the better chipset that the Zenfone 9 offers.
The only drawbacks I'm seeing with the new Asus Z 9 are the slightly thick bezels, it's weight, camera perf., and ROM development
As far as the camera goes - are the GCams giving any considerable improvements in the Z 9 ? The factory camera app is giving decent results but I think I like my Pixel 5 pics better from the comparisons that I'm seeing.
Also - what do you think ROM development would look like for this phone ? The love these phones get in the NA market is non-existent pretty much. And maybe Lineage will drop a ROM - but would like to see some ROMs dev. in the future.
I'm loving it so far. While I'm not enthused about the two years of updates instead of more, I am learning about ROM development and will post here when I can.

I have a Pixel 5, too, though currently as a backup. Performance is okay on that one, but I can't believe how much better 120 Hz on the ZP9 feels than the 90 Hz on P5. Battery life is also much better, too: P5 is 10-11%/hr screen on rate, ~1% screen off rate; ZP9 is ~8% screen on rate, ~0.8% screen off rate. (Accubattery)
If price isn't an obstacle, I'd recommend it.
I wouldn't change this phone for anything. I upgraded from Zenfone 8, as the one thing that was missing was a physical fingerprint reader (rather than the under-screen one).
The software experience also feels much smoother (stock) than what it was on Zenfone 8 (which I later rooted and flashed wtih LineageOS). I am content keeping this one stock.
i currently have the samsung galaxy s20 5g and debating on i bought the zenfone 9 and try to decide whether to stick with it the Z9 or S20
I have to say this is a great compact phone. Almost as good as the old sony xperia xz1 compact.
The battery life on this phone is awesome, Im running with 4.5 hours screen time so far and 2 days stand by and I still have about 41% battery life.
performance is great, the camera is not bad, however those huge lenses do stick out like a sore thumb.
but overall if you can get this phone on special price, its well worth it.

Sorry wrong thread
I'm new to OnePlus and the 11R looks promising with those specs and design. I want to know if it is good with all the user experience and software wise.
No one replied but I had a discussion with my friend who is a tech and it seems the phone is good for that price range so I bought the phone!
Yes, OnePlus 11R is great for the price. If you're chasing synthetic numbers (Geekbench scores/Antutu scores, get iQOO phones instead). The real world performance of the phone is phenomenal. No issues at all. Even gaming (around an hour of Genshin, stable 58-60 fps on highest settings). The phone does heat up a fair bit though, but no stutters that I noticed.
Camera is 8/10. Screen is 9/10. Battery 8.5/10. Sound 8.5/10. No lags/stutters at all. Software is like 7/10. You might run into an age-old issue with oneplus devices with 5GHz networks that is fixed when you disable accidental touch prevention.

OnePlus has made a mess of Oxygen OS. I hope they fix it. I'm leaning towards iQOO and Vivo phones currently.
Samsung flagship will remain my primary device, atleast for the foreseeable future.

Yeah but it is good now, iQOO is also good I like their phone models but I prefer OnePlus. Samsung flagships are too expensive for me!

OnePlus makes good phones (hardware), and so do pretty much every other brand. What made OnePlus different and very special was their software, Oxygen OS. The company now has a bad team working for them ever since Carl Pei left, and the team has successfully removed the 'oxygen' from their OS, and suffocating the user experience as a result of it.
I have the OnePlus 8T and some of the things are super annoying about OOS 12 & 13. Enough to make me look for another phone. I bought the iQOO Neo 6 and the software experience is much better (although it has its own share of bugs too, but they are less annoying though). The hardware is just as capable, and cameras are good too for the price.
I hope OnePlus fixes the (super) annoying things about OOS 12 & 13.
I just got 1+ Ace 2(11R) which running ColorOS 13 (China ver). The software works pretty well. There are only a few bloatware and I got rid of it easily. The only thing annoys me is it doesn't have google services inside the OS. Although I can install Play Store and GG apps quite easily, it's still lack of basic GG syncronization for example: wifi settings, autofill id an password for apps,... Otherwise, build quality, camera, chipset, battery life,...are very good p/p. Looking forward for a stable Oxygen OS 13 for it!
