Hello Guys,
I have a one plus 3 now and a iPhone 7 Plus 128gb. I was thinking on moving from one plus 3 ( I Never had any issues with it ).
One plus 3 is Running on AquariOS with ElementalX Kernel on 7.1.2.. The reasons I wanted to take honor 8 pro is
1. Bigger Battery .
2. Better Screen.
3. More Space.
4. Low price Compared to one plus 5.
5. Maybe a new experience..
Suggest me pleaseeee? Pro's and Con's and if there are any better alternatives at lower price. Please let me know....thank you

The only con you'll face is EMUI (compared to Oneplus's OxygenOS), everything is better on honor 8 pro.
And about EMUI, don't worry, the devs are working on Cutsom ROMs, and soon they'll be fully stable.
As for better alternatives at lower prices, I guess there's honor 9

I am using emui for the first time and really loving it. It's not like MIUI which completely changes everything.

After trying some custom roms I came to the point that emui is better in ram management,battery efficiency, features.Im getting 2.2gb of free ram when not using any app,in redmi note 4 ram usage is so high that 1.8gb only remains available in 4gb variant and in stock android rom like lineage os im getting 1.6 gb free only therefore no point of using custom rom in my honor 6x, battery drain is also high in custom roms

Well, yes at this point the stock software, that's actually been created by paid developers who are working for a multimillion-company is better than the custom ROMs that the talented developers of this community are building. Have a bit more patience and try to encourage them. Stock Android is less bloated and often way smoother and efficient once it is in a non-alpha state of development:good:

Xiaomi flagship vs Honor flagship.
Dear Xda guys.
Of all phones i have used(xperia ion,honor 6,moto x,Oneplus3 and now LG G6), i still feel the os Emui is way more polished than others and also snappy.
Now for this post is i am going to sell G6 (just months old but not satisfied) and going to take either Honor flagship phone or Mi flagship phone that is Honor 10 vs Mi7.
I know it's lot earlier to guess and decide but please share your views about premium in hand feel experience, the display quality, the OS smoothness and stability, The Audio quality. Camera i don't use much.
Honor 9 vs Mi 6 will do. Not much comparison out there in web

But there is no much difference in EMUI 8 in terms of UI part. Feature wise, there could be few addition but UI wise, it will look almost the same as that of EMUI 5.
MIUI rocks EMUI sucks
It's simple, there is no better Rom than MIUI. From battery, less bloatware, speed and features perspective! It has also better and larger community base in comparison to any other UI. Huawei is only trying to make its bad clone (even name sounds similar). I had Samsung, Huawei, Asus and Xiaomi in my hands and MIUI is far best from them. Of course if you own Honor you will always say it's best (even though you know it's not).

Emui provide fingerprint gestures support,f2fs file system,project treble, WiFi bridge,fast fingerprint,uses less ram,huawei makes its own processor so they are more optimized, and I like pure android over miui, and using a lineage os based rom now,miui is too heavy it consume more than half ram,

Well technically speaking, HONOR is Huawei's Sub-Brand aimed at millennials. It's quite a large spectrum of devices though even as its own brand.
It uses EMUI, it has its own dedicated processor, its also going to be more Different with EMUI 8. it's pretty good. MIUI is too cartoony and... Simple?

Almost all custom Roms are not even updated since last year. The custom Rom or Android development for Honor 8 Pro is totally off? Why is that?
Even after oreo release, feels like no one interested.
update: Honor released kernel source for honor 8 pro
https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro-honor-9-android-oreo-kernel-source/
personally, i feel that this is due to the fact that:
* many are happy for stock ROM
* stock ROM has got a lot of features and options for all sorts of ppl
* in terms of optmisation and efficiency, modern day version of Android don't really drain that much.
* battery tech has improved and we see phones packing bigger battery. so, ppl no longer than concerned abt battery life
* limited user-base -- so ROM developers are better off spending their time on phones with larger user-base, thus getting better feedback and attention

You are right, Thanks.
Just After honor ditch us, no chance of Getting future android experience ?
Honor left honor 8 pro.
Honor is fully focused on AI based honor view 10, the selected developer were given free honor view 10 handsets for its support and development of rom's in future. Honor has ditched the honor 8 pro.
The developers started working on honor view 10 and developed treble lineage os 15.1 rom based on Oreo 8.1 for kirin 970 devices.
Even the magisk and substrantum support is given for honor view 10.
I think this is my last honor device ??.

personally, i dun expect much since honor 8 Pro is a one year old device (using China's V9 as the actual launch). honor already launched a replacement device and if they actually continue to promote older device, then there's something not right with their strategy. so, it's only right that they get support for newer device instead, which is the View 10.
and the Q is... do i need custom rom? nope. i dun think i need it. and do i think it's needed for even View 10? nope... dun think it's needed.
many reasons why i dun think custom rom needed is in my first reply above.

I heard yesterday, Honor had removed Kernal sources for Honor 8 pro(or V9)[after its launched] that's a big problem also for custom roms.
Even in their own website the stock firmware is not available, no even it's name.
Stock rom might ne good, but Many people seeks for Future taste of Android. Honor already ditch us, The only way we could have taste Android p or Android Q using custom roms and now that also not possible.
Where as they are making sure Honor view 10 get erd party development supports.

i bought the honor 8 Pro because it is a good phone. great specs at affordable price. i din get it so i could get the latest version of Android. to me, so long as it works and it's patched (and while it's inconsistent but the updates have been coming from Honor), i'm fine with it.
and based on the above, honor 8 Pro is still a good phone. i don't really care about the latest Android version. what is more important is that i'm using the smartphone for what it can do -- connecting me. and it's doing a great job at that.

U r right, It will still be a very good phone with good specs nod doubt.
Everyone has their own view.
Some people's like custom development.
And Huawei doing open source for view 10 and removing 8pro(v9)'s kernal sources is really disappointing.
When honor8pro was launched, Huawei/Honor out up a show like this is device is going to get all the required attention and care. Instead they struggled with patches itself. Not even updates, fhey couldn't make working patches.
They looked for market and found one. That's it. US market is unreachable at least for an year or two, so a new strategy is to push as many devices as they can in current markets while lobbying for US market.
Honor tried or picturized a Xiaomi like strategy but went Samsung ish. Hardware wise 8pro is matchless in its tier but then there isn't much you can boast about it on realtime usage. They nerfed battery when some issues started its that bad.
It's a compromise device that has been further compromised. I feel honor is a sinking ship. They're severely dependent on marketing than letting phones prove themselves. They have paid Android authority and even Xda well to keep featuring posts or reviews about their phones. So that neo nerds or spec hungry guys can devour these devices and guys like these are usually the ones that are looked up or called up by less nerdy or less tech literates for their next best phone.
Such fake image doesn't hold long and easily shatters. Just like one plus which promised big things and promised support and longevity unlike google... and then just ditched all that, Honor too promised devices with better specs and better support but well... at this rate honor 10view will bite the dust soon as well, or if things keep going bad for honor/Huawei they might loop back.
Only time will tell. But for now it sure is bleak for Honor8pro. There isn't a way to jump to custom roms either. So when **** hits the cieling this phone will be a glorified remote control.
In Nutshell, most of us in india got this device with buyback from flipkart, 1st week march that awaited period start. Time to switch back to some soft-support team with decent hardware, ASAP. My bid is back to moto. whats others planning ?

Honor 8 pro is the most neglected so called "Flagship killer" of 2017/18.
Shortly after the release of 8 pro, they had taken down all official firmware sources.
View 10 is view 10 all over the globe. 8 pro is just a 128 GB variant of V9. So it has been completely neglected.
When Honor was questioned as to why firmware sources were removed, they gave a dumb reply saying it was HQ decision and they have least control over it.
This is like being in Apple ecosystem. Very sad to see such a potential device being neglected completely.
Honor has suddenly started focusing on lower budget segment in India after 8 pro's launch. Devices like 9 lite are starting to see updates for Face Unlock and yester year Flagship 8 pro is still with buggy Oreo update which they cannot fix.

1. some animations are choppy(doesn't concern me much)

4. minor graphical glitches. (doesn't affect the overall interface)

I've been having a dilema. I want to buy a new phone and i was given 2 phones : Omeplus 5T and Mate 10 pro.
Issue : I want a phone to last me in the long run (3 years+ in terms of reliability and support). I got these 2 phones on my.list because i want a good multimedia phone. I am not a gamer and not a pro photographer.
I want you people to tell.me your experience with oneplus 5T and recommendations. You can leave your negative comments if the phone is bad in a part (camera, battery etc).
Thank you!
the oneplus 5t is better but with root and roms
if you will not root or not planning then get the mate 10 pro
also bare in mind that you will not be able to root or modify the mate 10 pro by any mean as no bootloader unlocking for it
I was in the same place as you a year ago and I went for the 5t

To OP, I agree with this guy's reply to your post, as you are on XDA the 5T forum will entertain you more. But the mate 10 is still an awesome phone it can't be denied.
Thanks for the feedback.
If you ask here, you'd go with 5T.
Huawei is ****
I guess oneplus is my next phone. Huawei's mate 10 pro is pretty nice but they locked down the software. Thanks for the feedback!
Is worth it change my phone to a Mi 10t lite ?
I send my Poco F2 pro and keep , Redmi note pro 9 5g! Its not so important CPU . there is no big difference , but the rest, fresh rate , 108 mpx camera, fingerprint sensor on side.. phone is awesome for me .. I win it on Mi community on same game , and I got Chinese version. I was thought that I will get regular note 9 pro , and start looking for buyers to sell ,but when I open the box and see 9pro 5g, totally change my mind.
i was have Poco f2 pro about 6 monts and it sas time to move on.. this is the first 730g series CPu that I get but do the job,it not so import , camera is a beast...and thats why I like a like it ...

How can you justify not having better performance in custom ROMs with MI devices?
I'm running a Mi10i. I hate MIUI because of how bloated it is. And unresponsive.
Switching over to something like AOSP really did help the device maintain its speed and battery life.
