I was looking through the reviews and benchmarks on phonearena here and noticed the Honor 8 Pro scores quite a bit less than the Mate 9, also running the Kirin 960. Would that simply be down to the QHD screen on the 8 Pro?
I'm wondering how that would affect things like emulation with Dolphin, where single core performance is quite important. Would it not matter so much as you choose the resolution to render the game at anyway? So it wouldn't be QHD in dolphin or is it a driver setting which would need to be changed like on the Galaxy S8?

Yes, I'd put it down to QHD vs FHD.
As an aside my Honor 8 Pro has UFS 2.1 memory, while my Mate 9 has eMMC - so I'm even happier to be using the Honor as my daily driver. The Mate 9 is great in many ways, but the Honor screen is so much nicer!

I'm still weighing both of these up. I can't seem to find any Honor 8 Pros in stock, vmall has been out of stock since launch but Mate 9 is readily available.
Have you tried Dolphin Emulator on your 8 Pro? I'm not sure if the QHD screen will have any detriment! Is there an option to turn QHD to FHD in the settings like Samsung have?
The phone is not available on vMall or Amazon now, which is frustrating as people I've recommended the phone to can't buy - and sooner or later they'll buy something else instead.
I've not tried Dolphin Emulator but there is an option to drop the resolution for power saving, but unlike on the P9 where it toggled between 1080p and 720p, I've not managed to get it to actually do anything. The same for the Mate 9, P10 etc. Perhaps it only does it when running certain apps?

Thanks for your replies Jon, yeah it's a shame that it's not available now. I may end up just getting a Mate 9 because of it. I'm not overly keen on those black borders around the screen but I want a big screen/powerful CPU and I hate the S8+ aspect ratio (I'd prefer the Snapdragon anyway and that isn't available in Europe).
Maybe the QHD/FD toggle thing will happen in an update somewhere down the line. I'd only ever want QHD on if using VR, so a switch would have been handy. Hopefully you don't have to tie that in with turning the performance of the CPU down as well.
Hello, it is exclusively available from O2 Telefonica Store. And mine has emmc not ufs 2.1. Seems like a lucky box again...
https://www.o2online.de/e-shop/handys-ohne-tarif/honor/honor-8-pro-details
My black 8 pro has also the emmc
Any other testimonies on the storage type of your Honor 8 Pro?
I think Vmall specification pages indicate storage type as UFS, Anandtech also confirmed UFS 2.1 in their Preview.
Is it again a lottery between UFS/eMMC like with the P10 series?

I have bought honor 8 pro on a reseller website in France and it has eMMC memory too, i have called today vmall Europe (Huawei-Honor) customer and technical services, i reported the problem about memory type, they said they will make an investigation about it and will contact me...It is really a winning lottery and for some, a whining lottery
I don't think they will do something... And I don't find any information about the memory type on the European and Chinese vmall website.

Good choice man. About the storage lottery, I really hate Huawei for that.
Well the RAM is waiting for commands from other components, and they will throttle before the "slow" 6Gb of emmc will, wouldn't worry about it that much.

Mate..Don't even think of switching to LG from mate 10 pro..Mate 10 pro is superb both in terms of camera and battery...
Also LG's UI is not even a match for Huawei's feature rich EMUI. If you want timely updates for your phone ..don't ever switch to a LG phone. Huawei is far better in terms of updates. I'm still getting monthly security updates on my Honor 8.
Huawei lags behind on Bluetooth though, if listening to music with high SQ is important LG is a clear upgrade. Otherwise somewhat similar devices.

IMO ..Mate 10 pro is superior in terms of camera and battery...Mate 10 pro rules for battery endurance among the flagships...Camera only differentiation is the wide angle on g7. But Lecia branded camera is great as well..

Based on what personal experience? I get 4-5+ sot with the lgg7. The battery on the g7 is pretty good imo. Also, isn't the mate 10 pro lacking an SD card slot? That alone is s deal breaker. It also lacks a 3.5 Jack.
Yes, both phones ecxel in different areas. Huawei wins on battery and camera. LG wins on sound quality, better Bluetooth, more powerful cpu/GPU, better for gaming, more nice form factor and lighter. My taste leans towards best SQ available, so LG wins for me. And yes, sdcard is great to have too.

Black is good enough but there is no way you can expect it to be as good as oled screen. Its somehow the best you can expect from an lcd. The brightness is also brightest i've ever seen on any phone.
Using LG, dont expect any fast update. Developments are bloody slow compared to other flagships.

I'm actually kind of regreting getting the LG because of the blacks. I only notices it after my wife got the p20 pro. Because of the RGBW pixels the blacks are really washed out. I don't recommend it if you watch alot of video on the phone. Can't wait for next month's phone to arrive so I can switch to an oled phone. Probably gonna pick the mate 20 pro.
I only recomment this phone if you like one hand use.
That reminds, because the phone is so slim, it's 19.5x9 (or whatever), when you watch a video in full screen and you pinch out to fill the screen the video cuts alot more than an 18x9 phone (like a p20 pro or, I'm guessing, mate 10 pro as well).
Save your money and maybe get one of the phones that will come out next month. The oneplus 6t will the around the price of the G7 and I'm betting it will blow it out of the water.

I don't know the resolution. It doesn't specify.
But the p20's slow motion seemed more fluid, if that makes sense.
Here are the specs
https://m.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_a3-9769.php
What is your opinion, is this a good or bad choice ?
That moment when you record with selfie camera 1080p but your display can show only 720p
Do you think there will be A3 Pro ?
In my opinion Mi A3 is a step backwards.
MI A2 has a better display and a better SOC despite the fact that it's an year older. In-display fingerprint scanner and wide lens are good additions but simply it's not enough. Having an HD+ display in 2019 in a mid-range smartphone is crazy. Snapdragon 665 is worse compared to SD 660 in terms of Gpu performance. Very disappointed by Xiaomi.
Totally dissapointed. I will keep my Mi A2 with 6/128 gb.
I'm also disappointed with the A3 specs the cc9 on which it's based gets the 710 processor and 6gb ram so why is the A3 getting less? I'm still running an A1 which I've loved for 2years was hoping this would be an easy choice.
I'm also trying out Havoc on a mi pad 4 might end up with a Chinese market phone that havoc supports......
I have an A1 and was hoping that A3 would be a no brainer for me. I guess i'll stick with it for a while now... 720p screen is a no-go.
Let's wait and see if there will be any "Pro" version of this phone.. Even A2 Lite has a full hd screen.
Mi A1 still a decent device for me. It doesn't really look like an upgrade

They put the stupid infrared port instead of a NFC sensor. It cost nothing. Also 720p display.
It is a 2012 phone for 250 euros!
What about battery life? It must be interesting. 720p amoled display + 4000mah battery + energy-saver chipset must be good for longer battery life. A cant found any battery life test, and sot time info so far...

This. I'd take one if it has good battery optimization (*cough* mi8 w/ miui 10). I'll take better battery life + super amoled over higher res screen anyday.
Unless your usage revolves around an app/site that doesn't support zooming (ie. gmail), 720 vs 1080p has no noticeable difference.

Yes its enabled, i saw one video where was checked Manual Camera Compatibilty app
Im thinking about ordering, but i need infos about battery life, but nothing was found yet
Ordered one (64GB)today on Gearvita for 237USD = 212€ with shipping to Germany. If somebody is interested, you get this price only with coupon code "ROMiA364G" wich you enter during checkout. Original price is much higher. I come from A2 and hope for much better Camera (perheps with Goggle Camera if API2 really enabled) and better battery life...
since on GSMarena Mi A3 and Mi CC9e compare almost equal, I wonder if the 128/6 GB CC9e would be able to run Mi A3 Android One and Mi A3 firmware. I also wonder if Mi A3 and Mi CC9e are A/B devices regardless of internal storage size.
@Dior DNA
Like previous generations, the MIUI counterpart (in this case, Mi CC9e) has legacy A-only partitioning scheme whereas the Android One variant has A/B one. Frankenbuilding should be possible, but complete conversion is a complicated job.
i think it's a marketing stunt - and if it's not, i feel real sorry for them. it's still a lousy move on their part.... as soon as they've pushed a first batch of converted cc9e-s (aka mi a3) they will magically release a mi a3 pro based on the standard cc9 which will be an awesome phone. it fixes everything bad in the mi a3. (screen, nfc better soc) while still keeping everything that's nice about the third gen android one. amoled, big battery.
even if they dont release it, if the cc9 gets good developer support (considering the sources are already out i hope it will) it's gonna be my next go to phone.
L.E. they only reason i see that they didnt use the cc9 is politics. with those specs it would directly compete with the pixel 3a at half the price.
I would like to know if it's anyone here who came from 8 Pro. Is it even worth it ? What is your experience ? These devices are so similar to each other that I'm trying to find differences. I would buy 9 Pro for the camera but reviews are pretty mixed. What do you think?
I did and not a whole lot of difference in feel. I like the 9 Pro's latest cameras, processor / GPU, 5G, Warp Speed....

I came from a oneplus 8 pro and outside of loving the matte finish on the 8, there's not much difference at all. I do love the faster wireless charging. That alone makes it worth it, lol.
If money is not a problem, yes. You buy it for youre plesure.
It is not a BiG difference between them. And maybe 10 pro will have Haselblad lens (price could be scary).
Me, i want to buy 9 pro, then sell 8 pro. Just for fun. i'm hunting for a good deal. Just like i did from 7 pro to 8 pro.
Hello
I have a S21U exynos for nearly a year and it's beginning to boring me, I don't dare to root it because of knox
Also I don't like that sometimes I have to double swipe because the screen needs a longer swipe area than OP phone or the s21u screen are just not as responsive. Same goes for the double tap to open anything because Samsung UI doesn't accept to open an app or menu/settings if any even very slight scrolling is still on screen.
Here's why I am tempted by the 9 Pro:
-Snapdragon vs exynos
-The battery is finally nearly the same thanks to A12, no ?
-ROOT freedom, when I am getting bired of the OS I can simple change the custom rom wmabd all that without being afraid of knox
-OP 10 pro unveiled today looks nothing better than 9 Pro besides the cpu/gpu, the mi 12 pro tele lens is catastrophic given the actual reviews, the s22u will be a copy/paste of the s21u but with an spen... Well 2022 is not a wow year
What I am afraid to miss the most though is the 10x telescopic zoom, but over 11 months I only used like 10 times mostly to impress my gf with moon shots lol
So what do you think? Am I crazy?
Anyone had an s21u and got the 9 Pro?
I had the 9 Pro and got the S21U in august
Battery is better BY FAR, my Op9 was laggy and buggy and i couldnt figure out why. OxygenOS is basically dead and that was always the main reason to buy the OP

Exynos. Haven't had A12, but as I said, without OxygenOS OnePlus is dead. ColorOS (what A12 basically is on OP9) is trash
I have the 9 Pro for 5-6 month now. Switched from Pixel 4Xl to iPhone 11 Pro Max to Note 20 Ultra cheated with Xperie 1ii and back to iPhone 12 Pro Max, then i bought the 9 Pro. So i switched a lot last year. I'm not a fanboy of any brand.
My ranking from best to worse -> 9Pro, 11 Pro Max, Xperia 1ii, Pixel 4XL, 12 Pro Max, Note 20 Ultra (exynos).
9 Pro it's not laggy at all by the way. It's the most fluid/smooth phone i've used. Screen is fantastic and by far the best i've used.
Performance is superb. Camera (got major updat) is brilliant. Battery (A11) is great.
Fast Charging 30 Min ...
All the crying about Oxygen vs Color OS... Don't know, kind of childish. With OxygenOS 12 (Color OS with Oxy Skin) you won't feel a difference. It does not matter. It's still a very clean near stock experience.
If you wabt to switch, just try it, i can highly recommend the 9 Pro

Do you think the passage from 6.8" to 6.7" will be obvious or it's pretty much the same size?
Nah TINY bit smaller, 0,1" is nothing... you know what they say about size
Well, i say is not really ultra. Because is Exynos...
My 9 pro works very well. ColorOs 12 stable C.39 is very good. Except some notification i don't have problems.
Oxygen is full of Google BS. That it makes it Bad.
I use bluetooth = smart watch & music 8 h/day at work. For me. battery is very good.
I never have lag or any other screen problems.
xPan mode color/black & white is gorgeous for photos.
You don't feel that 0,1" difference. 100%.
But why don't you wait a little & buy 10 pro?

10 pro is deceiving, at least for me, same telephoto camera while I hoped for a 5x or 10x, super wide camera is worse than 9 pro, same exact screen in terms of size and brightness...
And the price of new OP flagships here in my country is always overpriced, the 9 Pro 12/256 started at 1150$ now it's at 770$!!
I can sell my 10 months old s21u for 770$ today and pay 0$ for a brand new 9 Pro. When the 10 Pro will be out, the s22u would have been out for 2 months so I couldn't sell the s21u more than 600$
As for the 9 Pro I guess it won't drop too much anymore here, perhaps max 50$
That's the question.. is the 10 pro worth it. Same camera mainsensor, worse ultrawide sensor 1/2.56 (guess it was) on the 10 Pro and 1/1.5x on 9 Pro is a huge size difference. Only thing will be (cam) software.
And better CPU/GPU chip.
If you get the 9Pro with a discount...

-OP 10 pro unveiled today looks nothing better than 9 Pro besides the cpu/gpu, the mi 12 pro tele lens is catastrophic given the actual reviews, the s22u will be a copy/paste of the s21u but with an spen... Well 2022 is not a wow year
What I am afraid to miss the most though is the 10x telescopic zoom, but over 11 months I only used like 10 times mostly to impress my gf with moon shots lol
So what do you think? Am I crazy?
Anyone had an s21u and got the 9 Pro?

I hear you as I feel the same about my S21+ exynos except that I plan to switch to Xiaomi 12 because Oneplus is faaar away from the spirit which made its success years ago. It was nearly half the price of the best flagship and with better performance, development was very active with high interactivity with the growing users community, big big choice of custom roms and kernels, ...etc
Lately Oneplus seemed lagging behind in all these aspects and becoming exactly what they were laughing at (they said Never Settle ) and now they are getting Oppofied, uh no thank you.
So what's left for me to get away from samsung and their latest try to punish me for rooting the phone I bought with my money by disabling shealth, blocking connection with my gw4, ...etc plus some other annoyances which persist since day 1? Xiaomi 12 seems to me the best option. I made my mind and I just wait for it to go global in the coming weeks.
Hardware is very similar, both using the same processor / GPU so may work??
Not sure on the cameras but would be more of a sideways port rather than a fresh ROM.
Hope to see a unified development at some point, not sure how that's going to work with the messy forum structure but I guess we'll see.
No way this will work
They don't using the same processor / GPU
10 Pro Qualcomm SM8450 / Adreno 730
9 Pro Qualcomm SM8350 / Adreno 660
.....and and and

Oh crap, thought they were both 888's
Well thanks for this.
The bad news just keeps mounting up for the 10.
Just found out that macro lens either doesn't exist or just doesn't work.

Yeah , OnePlus did a "downgrade" to 9 PRO with the Camera
I have the 9 PRO ( I've buy'd only because the hardware ) only using with a custom ROM
The OOS is not worth to use....

Well I have the 8 pro running Evo X, it's brilliant, looks like the last decent OnePlus.. what the hell happened?
How can they not have a macro lens? Makes no sense.
Looking for the silver lining on this phone and having a hard time.
If the DEV’s from custom ROM's don’t support the ONEPLUS devices then this company will DiE in no time FACT
Well I still have my 8 pro, plus can still send the 10 pro back.
Quite annoyed by it, but I did manage to get some of the new buds for free with it. So not a total loss
Hopefully „Nothing Phone“ will came out a device like the initial ONEPLUS on her START
A device worth the PRICE

10 pro is not so bad.
I see some speed test : S22 Ultra vs. 10 pro. Oneplus was faster at almost all of the tests.
10 pro vs. icreap 13. Half/half.
dladzusually was the other way arround. 10 pro Os ported to 9 pro.

No I know, the performance and battery is great.
But there's a few things annoying me.
I hope a few good custom ROMs come out but honestly I'm really not sure that'll happen.. I have a month so will see I guess.
