I am looking to upgrade from my aging Samsung galaxy S4 to Honor 8 pro, however I need some info on the following from you all existing honor 8 pro users:
1. Does honor 8 pro support call recording (in built or via any third party app)
2. Does Honor 8 pro support flip to mute gesture for calls like my s4.
3. Is the camera better in low light compared to my s4?
4. Is the music quality via headphones better than my s4 or Samsung devices of that generation.
5. I am used to heating on my s4, is it more with honor 8 pro???
Thanks to all in advance.

1) Call recording is supported by using ACR
2) Yes and many more gestures too. Like raise to ear to pick up calls, etc.
3) Probably! According to me the low light images are very good. There is a slight bit of noise in the pics but still there is quite good detail present in the pics during low or artificial lighting conditions. During day time, it is absolute killer camera.
4) Sound quality is very good per my view. I used Mi Piston HD earphones and they sound pretty good.
5) Not more but there is warming during gameplay, VR streaming but it is never over heating even after an hour of continuous usage. After a while now with my daily use and casual gaming as and when, it seems much cooler and heating seems to be reduced or you can say much less noticed.

Call recording can be done using any app downloaded through Playstore.
Yes it supports gestures like flip to mute, etc.
The audio quality through headphones is better against my Moto X Play.
I have yet to get it heat to uncomfortable levels.

I was reading some of the user posts and they say that internet speed is slow on this phone. And also I watched several speed test videos of the Honor 8 Pro with various flagships, particularly with Samsung galaxy S8. Even though overall it was faster than galaxy S8 in loading apps, but in loading data from the net like loading websites in Chrome or loading videos in youtube app it was much slower. Can you please comment in this?

1- yes (through 3rd party apps)
2- no it doesn't but, you can tap volume button to mute.
3- absolutely yes
4- I don't actually know (I didn't own a GS4)
5- NO, it's absolutely capable and won't heat that much
I hope this is clear

It was over wifi, both Samsung galaxy S8 and honor 8 pro were connected to the same wifi network and S8 could fetch data much faster than the Honor 8 Pro even though the Honor 8 Pro loaded the apps faster.

Yes the cheap Google One device that has a budget tier camera? It's not even good.
All due respect, if you don't like the 7X, you're free to return it and buy a Mi A1.

Mi A1 has a better camera to be honest
Probably future updates will improve pretty impressed with mine coming from a Moto G5 prob not hard why

The portrai mode is bonkers in 7X i agree but apart from that honor 7X is far better in terms of front camera and a tad better than MIA1 since that phone simply washes all the photos in yellow for weird reason so 7x is better in terms of overall camera review as far as i can say than MIA1 except portrait mode which is clearly can be improved drastically since pixel 2 can do it then can others with softwares.
if you disagree with my opinion its cz you havent tested it
Here is the best MIA1 vs Honor 7X camera comparison available :
rest all youtubers seem to weirdly like the yellow colors from MIA1 and calling good saturation which is just stupidity but ranjeet captured it like a pro unbiased review..

From what I've seen, I'm pretty satisfied with the results given what I pay for.

It´s a good camera for normal use?, or not?
I've watched almost every Mi Max 3 video on Youtube but I always noticed that the Mi Max 3 display looks really dull, colours don't pop, blacks aren't very deep.
I know this is an IPS panel, not AMOLED/OLED but what concerned me is this video . As I am coming from an iPhone 7 plus that has an IPS panel, I want the display quality to at least be somewhat equal if i'm "upgrading", I know the specs won't be better than iPhone 7 plus but I really really want a bigger screen for media consumption.
I know this video is comparing the Mi Max 2 and iPhone 7 plus but I can't find any direct comparison on the Mi Max 3. Is the Mi Max 3's display significantly better than Mi Max 2 and is it comparable to the iPhone 7 plus display?
Can anyone who have an iPhone and Mi Max 3 show comparison photos between both phones picture quality if possible? :fingers-crossed:
PS: Also are there any display issues with this Mi Max 3? Such as the "Blue Shift" when viewing off-angle?
Send me an iPhone to compare it to and I'll gladly take those pictures.

With cream and cherry on top.
Edit: Seriously though, the display is just fine.
I came from a Mi Mix 2 and even had a OnePlus 3 for some time and have nothing to complain about.

Agreed, I came from a Samsung Note 8, and it's nearly as good.
I'm also coming from a Samsung Note 8 & Note 9, and am finding that I prefer the Max 3. The picture quality and screen clarity is almost as good as both Note's. Am actually going to be returning my Note 9 and keeping my Note 8 as a back up phone. Hope that helps.

That's awesome to know because my friend has a Note 8 and that phone has an amazing display.
Do you guys notice any "blue shift" when viewing at an angle? How is the "blue shift" when compared to the Note 8?

Also I noticed you used to own a Huawei P8Max. I actually used to own a P8 Max 2 years ago but unfortunately water damaged it while I was holidays. :crying:
Could you please let me know how is the display/picture quality of the Mi Max 3 compared to the P8 Max? Is it much better?
Also are there any pros or cons between the two devices? Or is the Mi Max 3 better than the P8 Max in every way?

Don't see any blueshift in mine. Can't remember that well on my Note 8.

Mi Max 3 is better in every single way. :laugh:
Would love to see more sample photos with the most recent software.
Here are some photos that I took recently with Note 4 and I would like to know if the A70 can at least match the output of Note 4 in ideal conditions.

nah, iphone is never meant to take great shots...it's like buying branded bags.
remember 20/80 rule, 80% of the users are retarded.
Currently, I am in possession of the Mi 11 Ultra and I'm having trouble deciding between the S23 Ultra and the Mi 13 Pro as a replacement. In India, the S23 Ultra costs 1.25 lakhs, while the Mi 13 Pro costs 0.8 lakhs. Is it worthwhile to replace my 6-month-old Mi 11 Ultra with the Mi 13 Pro? Have the camera quality and other features improved significantly? I would appreciate some guidance on this matter.
The Mi 11 ultra is an excellent device, the camera is on par with the s23 ultra.
For the 13 pro a little expensive compared to these characteristics.

if your 11 ultra is healthy then no point to upgrade. get the modded google cam with XML loaded and enable HDRnet shooting.
OR get the modified stock xiaomi cam with all the tweaks + leica filter.
i have 11 ultra too

Thanks a lot. Can u share the working modded Google cam and modified stock Xiaomi cam links as discussed above, please. I think that presently there is no working version of stock xiaomi cam + Leica for mi 11 ultra.. My ultra has MIUI Global 13.0.5. Stable (SKAINXM) firmware presently (INDIA).

What if I tell you IP shoots only in 4:3 ratio. 16:9 option is fake, just cropped 4:3 picture. I made that mistake because of dxomark ranking (6-th in global ranking). Great mistake...and after one week struggling to cope with IP I surrender and went to Xiaomi 13 pro. No place to compare both phones, IP is decade behind.
