Not sure why this is on the 10 forums. You're not even asking if there are features of the 10 which you like and that are translated to another phone.

maybe this could help..

I just sold an S8 and picked up a 10 and also love it for the size. If your wanting bigger I'd go with the 5T or possible the V30+ as is has a OLED display vs the P-OLED of the standard V30 and the Pixel XL. LG hasn't put it on their bootloader unlock list if that's important to you. Really the smart money is the 5T.

Oh wow, you're right about the LG V30! I thought they did but I guess not wow ..... and I was really thinking about getting it since it's on sale :'( I was considering the 5T but I noticed the phone was a lot bigger than the v30. hmmmm...
I traded the nexus 6p eventually because the size and saw the v30 was a bit smaller then the 6p. Does the oneplus 5t work with VoLTE and tmobile? anyone else have any suggestions. thanks.

Nexus 6

I'm liking my G3 right now, but is anybody else excited for the N6? May have to use a jump upgrade for that bad boy. The features sound amazing and the design looks intriguing.
Tempted but too big, too expensive( for a nexus) and no removeable storage. Not only that but its made by motorola which is known for personalizing phone to your liking and yet only offer 2 colors.

I had a Z Ultra GPE and liked it, with the Nexus 6 being half an inch smaller, I feel that it would be a much better experience!
yES, unlike others, i do not think its expensive for a flagship phone. The fACT that other nexus devices were cheaper in cost, does not make this one expensive. As it is a completely different device, different manufacture, better specs ect...
I just paid $598 for the g3 and i would GLADLY pay another $50 for a nexus 6. And its cheaper than the Note 4 and Iphone 6..
I am going to sell my G3 and jump on the nexus 6 as soon as it comes out. The only thing that sucks is that it does not have a SD card slot or a removable battery, but I can live with that...
I have a G3 and the wife has a Jump to use. I'm going to use it. lol I think I might get the Note 4 and then check out the Nexus 6 when it comes out. If I like the Nexus better then I might return the Note 4 and get the Nexus. I have 30 days to return a phone with my discount that I have. I guess I might have to pay a restocking fee. The wife will get my G3.

I want one but I'm going to wait. good chance that price drops... I came from the Nexus 5 and liked it alot..
I'm not too wprried about removable storage. I had the Flex before the G3 and honestly i switch to my Flex every once in a while cuz i miss using it
me too just waiting to move to the nexus 6 I always had nexus devices
#nexus6 shall be mine. Guaranteed updates more development and sorry but the g3 has too much lag regardless of all the tweaks. I need a pure Google experience.
I'm getting the nexus 6 as well.. I like the g3 but there is no lollipop date or eta and I'm not holding my breath..
Nexus 6 here as well, like the G3, but I'm a fiend for development and this is where Nexus shines.
The Nexus 6 looks like an amazing phone but the lack of SD card slot is what's keeping me from the switch.

I have a 64 gig sdcard in my g3 ATM and 32 on board have not touched the onboard storage and only used 5 gigs on the sdcard
Everything is stored in the cloud
With copy I have 140 gigs of storage
So its not a big deal for me bit I can see for others it would be a issue
No SD support = hellz no.

Yea one of the biggest gripes for any phone company are the updates. Never owned a Nexus phone, but i do like plus size phones. I had the Note 2 and Flex. A 6 inch Nexus is actually the deciding factor
Count me in for the Nexus 6. I'll be placing a midnight blue one on pre-order online on the 29th. For everyone who is passing on the Nexus because of the lack of an SD card spot, you should consider buying a meenova. I still have mine from when I had the original HTC one and they work great. Very cheap and ultra portable. I'm sure it'll be even more convenient with the nice big batteries that most of these phones are getting nowadays. I'd hate for anyone to miss out on any great phones because they don't come with built in SD slots. Check them out here http://www.meenova.com/st/p/mrg2.html

This thread is for uk people who have bought, pre ordered or thinking of buying HTC 10. Thread here you can Share first impressions etc
I Ordered mine on Wednesday and I literally just received it.
Went for the gold colour which I'm quite happy with.
It's on charge currently but I'm not going to wait 12 hrs before use.
If you have any questions pls ask and I will try to answer.
My previous phone was S7 Edge gold which I was very happy with but I just couldn't live with TW.
I've inserted my EE sim and 64gb micro sad card, now just waiting for it complete setup.
So it comes with an empty battery then? Is there any downside to using it before 12 hrs of charging?

Battery is 62% out of box.
Not sure if it will effect the battery life by not charging for 12hrs but that doesn't bother me too much.
62% out of the box. Not sure if it will have an negative effect on battery if not charged for 12hrs before first use.
Glad I got rid of my S7 edge for htc 10.

Hi riz157,
I was considering the HTC 10 as my next phone and have been checking out the reviews over the net and seeing the comparisons with the other flagships. I have noticed that even though it's new with latest specs it seems to run slower than the other flagships when tested side by side, have you noticed any issues?

So i should get rid ov my s7e buy a phone which took p*** ordering from htc direct?
Rather than saying getting rid of it explain pros and cons cos i seriously dont see the 10 being much different from anything on the market as of now and last year. Ive had the m7,8 and the failed 9 and htc never did anything special other than having a really good build quality

I've never really liked TW, if you can live with TW then you would be far better of with s7e for sure as long as the screen size is suitable.
My preference
hardware wise I like the design of s7e but I prefer lcd 3 on the Htc 10.
I hate TW but like sense ui, it's lighter and more customisable.
Camera not much in it I'm happy with both.
Screen size I prefer 5.5 min.
Speakers Htc 10 louder and fuller sound.
So essentially if I had Htc 10 sense ui and s7e hardware with lcd 3 screen I would take that. Or if I s7e had stock android with lcd 3 screen.

Cheers for the response for the most overall impressions agree but only down side for me is like you say they should have gone 5.5 screen. Amoled kind of grown on me for now and the battery life seems fine but atm trying to get a contract upgrade from 3 for the 10 since cancelled the pre order for taking to long

I don't think they could, it would be too close to the new Nexus devices that they are making. I think they could be a 5.5 with Amoled screen, no SD card.

It's a shame I got rid of my HTC 10 as the screen was just to small, now I've ordered Huawei P9 plus from Vodafone as they are only ones stocking in the uk.
I found another interesting piece of info O2 in the uk aren't stocking HTC 10 i wonder why.
I was offered iphone 6s plus 128gb for my htc 10! I thought that was a result.
Curious on the Nexus.
Like the device but the battery life for meh is uninspiring, out of my return window so cant even return it and try a different 10.
Got mine 2 weeks off gumtree for £350 as the seller told me they had it unlocked but it was locked to ee (genuine mistake)
They agreed to the price as ee took about 7 days to unlock it for £8.99
Loving the black version and the feel in the hand , using adoptable storage with a 128GB Samsung Evo+ for music n videos
The screen Res is really good and audio blows anything else I used away! (bose in-ear mie2)
Rocking a spigen crystal shell and waiting for the Torro leather case to come
Overall very please with this handset
Just got my carbon grey one as an upgrade for my knackered m8. Loving it so far. Colour is awesome. Fingerprint scanner is ace. Quickcharge 3.0 is excellent. I do not like the new keyboard. I hate it in fact. No arrow keys, button layout is all screwed up. Hoping I get used to it. New boomsound is a bit disappointing tbh. Feels solid as a rock though. It's fast. Waiting for my dbrand skin to arrive.

HTC Carbon Grey
Hi everyone!
Sorry that I'm late for the party,, but better late than never! I'm planning to buy a HTC 10 this week. I just wanted to know one thing - Are there any logos at the back of your device other than the HTC logo? I've seen few devices with completely clean back (with only the HTC logo in the middle) and others with the CE number and other information at the bottom. I was wondering if its related to carriers or all HTC 10 devices coming now sports such a logo. I'm planning to buy the Carbon Grey variant from HTC UK website itself, and from the pictures I've seen, these logos take away a bit of its beauty. But still, it's a great device. Just wanted to make sure of this detail.
Thanks in advance!

OP3 vs Nexus 6p

Hey guys!
So I currently have a Galaxy S6 from Verizon, and I am deeply disappointed with it. Since my bootloader is locked, I can't flash any ROMs to improve my terrible battery life. (1.5 hrs SOT, power saving location, power saving mode, auto brightness, etc. Phone still needs to be charger 2 times a day). I was thinking of either getting the OP3 or the Nexus 6P? Is anyone in the same boat as me? I'd love to bounce some ideas around and see what other's recommend.
Since this is oneplus 3 section, I think everyone will say you should get op3. I'd get it myself. Looks a lot better device.

I'm selling my Nexus 6P to buy a OnePlus 3. For me it's all about the dual SIM. Here's what I'll miss about the Nexus 6P (Great phone): QHD display. Stereo speakers at each end of the phone. Also the fingerprint sensor is great: works every time (unlike many I have tried). I hope the OP3 fingerprint sensor will be as good.

Nice, hope you like the OP3! The dual SIM doesn't matter to me, since I only travel internationally once every 2 years or so. Yeah, I feel you on the screen. I'm going to miss the camera and screen of my S6 for sure. From the videos and reviews I've seen/read, it seems like the fingerprint scanner is very good. Seems to function better than that of the S6.

Sorry, I should've clarified. The nexus is on sale in America right now. The 64 GB is going for 480 (however 32 is more than enough for me.)
I'm also considering to sell my 6p to buy the OP3. I have been kind of disappointed in the 6p because of the screen and battery life. My screen goes from a pink bottom to a yellowish top. I'd rather have a good 1080p screen then a bad QHD screen. And like somebody mentioned in the EU I can sell the 6p without paying much extra to get a brand new op3.

You should get 350-400 euro`s on Marktplaats for your 6P depending on the storage size.
I am confused too. I own a 64gb Nexus 6p. Disappointed with sd810. Heats too much while gaming. But the quicker official android updates and dual front firing speakers are awesome. I''' loose better camera too. Though I'll get sd820 and 6gb ram and I will make profit if I sell my 6p and buy op3. Really confused :-/
The problem is mainly the size and price. You get a bit smaller device for less money. Actually i dont like 810 serie, so i would probably stick to OP3 since they open to modding after errors with OP2. Probably 6P is better on CAM+Speakers and MAYBE screen.
I also have a Nexus 6P.
- It's REALLY big.
- I don't like the back fingerprint sensor
I'm considering to switch to the OP3 too..... but Nexus updates are every month and i would like to have android pay work with a rooted phone.....

In the same boat bro. Tell me if you make any decision. I can profit by selling 6P and buying Op3 currently.
What I'll miss if I switched is stereo speakers and quick latest updates !
I was happy with my 6p for a bit, then the crappy aluminum(bent near the charging port) and screen brightness got to me. Should not have to root to see the thing outdoors.
+battery life sucked on mine (usually had trouble getting 3 hours SoT, i get 6 from my mate 8 in the same usage and 10 when using it at home)

If you want to sell it because of screen issues, then I will advice you to wait for reviews of the screen on the Oneplus 3 to see if it has no isues.
Beside the battery i would say that the 3 wins nearly ever, aspect.
The problems i have with the nexus is that they are released only a short period before qualcom releases jts new CPU and then i always want to wait to get a devoce with the new cpu.

The pixel or the v20?

What's your opinion?
Pixel for sure. AI and VR are about to hit big time and that's a big part of what the Pixel is all about.
V20? Are you serious?
Ok it will have better audio-capabilities, but apart from that, it's crap compared to Pixels.
Starting with the awful LG interface.
Tough decision. Quad DAC, removable battery, IR blaster on the V20 versus a better smaller screen on the Pixel (in my opinion) and frankly an old school 2014 design but with pure Android. I am actually conflicted on which way to go since I have the Note 7. Its a valid question that many are trying to figure out (which is why Im here). The screen on the V20 will be the deciding factor for me and I will need to see it in person.. I like things about both phones. I wish there was a device that offered the best of both but not this year.
I preordered the Pixel XL but when reviews are out for one of both and one gets better reviews I stick with that one. V20 might have a better camera but could have short battery life and I don't care about changeable batteries. The Pixel has stock Android which is pretty dull after a while. Don't care about VR or personal assistant. That won't be big until I get my next phone anyway.
The Pixel SUCKS!!!! :laugh:
Kidding... I don't know for sure, I'm just chiming in.
I'd personally choose the LG V20. I don't care about VR.
I just read what was captured from a Reddit post and the images from the Pixel look great along with the video/stabilization. The guy has cleaned all video and posts, seems like he got in trouble. He claimed he had 4 hours SOT with 53% battery left. I will need to see more reports but seems promising even with the bezels. lol, maybe you guys have already seen all that.
I watched a lot of V20 pre-release reviews on Youtube and got some hands-on time at an ATT store today. It seems like a very nice phone. For $830 (at ATT), I would rather pay the extra $39 and get a 128GB Pixel XL (I have one pre-ordered). I wouldn't take advantage of the fancy DAC on the V20. Removable battery is nice, but I never used that on my older Samsung phones even though I had an extra battery. I use to be a big removable storage fan, but with 128GB of fast memory in the pixel, removable storage seems minor. Updates will likely be much better on Pixel. Both phones appear to have a really good camera. I think the V20 would have to be about $650 or less to get me to seriously consider it.
Coming from the V10, I swapped batteries like they were going out of style, SOT wasn't great. I had never owned a non removable battery device until the Note 7 and made it work so,..There are so many "compromises" on all phones this year except the Note 7. Sad situation. I had the V10 so I am reluctant to go back to an IPS panel (personal preference) The Pixel is growing on me the more I see, not sure where I will end up at this point but know I have to take back my Note 7 so I need to figure it out.
I've had the G3, G4, V10 and my wife has the G5. Needless to say, huge LG fan. But, I have to root, go through all the trouble to ultimately make the phone more of a pure Google experience. Do not having to root to get a great UI, plus for pixel.
Next, I had the bootloop of death on my V10 two weeks ago so I got a Nexus 6p to try out while I waited for my replacement V10. That was it for me. I sat and watched all the security updates flow onto the phone! Wow, how impressive! Then got to use nougat pure and loved it. I didn't want to go back to nth V10. That's a tough thing for me to say as a huge fan of LG.
So at the end of the day, I'm going pixel. Here's my reasons.
1. Constant updates including security updates.
2. Purity. Maybe I finally won't have to root as phone!
3. Camera! Quality yes... But speed to take a picture! If it's anything at all like the nexus, I'm sold
4. I could care less about DAC. I haven't used wired phones in years.
5. 128gig, more than enough to not miss removable storage and let's face it, Google has been making consistently more annoying to even have a phone with it.
6. 2nd screen is cool but not particularly useful.
You are all right. But the nexus 6p had such a choppy expiriance.
The v20 is cheaper, same quality camera (more or less) and the IPS panel is great and close enough to amoled .
The issue is that we don't really know what to expect from the pixel.
Its a under clocked CPU with pure android and good camera. And there is a strong chance that most of us will will root it.
The v20 is cheaper with better sound qualities and also gonna be rooted to give us a pure expiriance.
Its a 5.7 screen and has an always on display.
Does the pixel really trump the v20?

I preordered the Pixel XL but when reviews are out for one of both and one gets better reviews I stick with that one. V20 might have a better camera but could have short battery life and I don't care about changeable batteries. The Pixel has stock Android which is pretty dull after a while. Don't care about VR or personal assistant. That won't be big until I get my next phone anyway.

I see your are from Germany, where did you pre-order Pixel? Thanks
I asked the same question. Don't let fanboys sway your decision. They both have pros and cons. I have had very bad issues wirh LG as far as text lag, screen throttle, scrolling lag, etc. At the same time, the pixel offers nothing new, no wow factor.
I chose the pixel simply becwuse I'm pressed to give up this note 7 and the pixel is available to order while LG, once again shows why they're not a serious player. They failed to take advantage of this Samsung screw up in the US where we still, a month or so later, have no release date.

Right, I am with you. Just returned the note 7 and I am looking for a replacement.
My wife has the LG G4 and she loves it and a good friend of mine has the V10 and he loves it.
I don't see a lag in any of them and when I compared the phones to my note 7 I was really jealous since the note has horrible lags.
You can buy the v20 unlocked at B&H and get a tablet with it for 870$, which is already almost 100 less from what I paid for the pixel. Plus you get a bigger screen with the V20, better audio, SD card slot, Dual camera (which will be pretty good and close to the pixel) and Nuget.
So at this point I am really baffled as to what I want to get.

Just canceled my order of the Pixel XL. T-Mobile had a great offer for the V20. 200 bucks trade-in for my old phone, free B&O headphones and a free tablet (which I don't need but will give to my nephew). The phone altogether costs me slightly above 550 bucks. In comparison to the almost 1,000.00 for the Pixel XL that seems like a steal even if I have to compromise with certain things. The Pixel has no wow effect other than some software gimmicks. I will get a Pixel 2nd gen next year. Hopefully then with some fantastic hardware.
I played with the V20 the other day in the AT&T store, it was just "okay" in my opinion. I am much more excited to play with the Pixel XL.

I played with the v20 and it was more than alright, its an amazing phone. I'm torn between the pixel and the v20 so I ordered both and will return the one that I don't want. The pixel will have my development by far!!!

To each his own, if you were digging it great, just didn't wow me. Now I am still mourning the loss of my Note7 so you know nothing is really exciting me now

I'm with you bro, hands down the note 7 is king. Remember that stupid saying " it's better to love and lost, rather than never finding love at all"... That's some untrue bs

So are you getting it ?

Yes ? No ? And why ? :fingers-crossed:
Yes. My G5 has not survived the numerous accidents it had too well, and the OnePlus 5T is still a "budget" option when compared to the Honor and LG alternatives.
Would I be crazy to sell my s8 to get 5t

Nope. S8 is severely locked down from what I understand. I take software over hardware any day of the week. UNLESS it has gotten to the point where the hardware is making the software experience abysmal... rip little Droid Bionic loved ya <3
op5t is the most attractive phone on the market in 2017 even it still has huge bezels.
unfortunately, it has not wireless charging and ip68.
I'm stuck between ugly sams note8 with the best hardware and the worst software and medium hardware and one of the best software on op5t.
definitely, I want to get op5t when it will have unlocked bootloader, root, custom recovery, and custom rom.
Yes I will, if my current 5 sells (put it up for sale a couple days ago). I wouldn't mind paying the difference after selling my 5 to get that taller screen! And I'm also just the type of person who enjoys having the latest model, despite upgrades being minor
I'm buying it. I'm using a 3T now so it's a true upgrade. Bring on the custom ROMs. The 5T is an affordable alternative to the Pixel 2 XL but with better hardware.
Oneplus is known for pushing this out to developers quickly. Why you think they can Release a phone every 6 months. (I'm speculating Win Win for Consumer and developers.
I'm now debating between this phone, the V30 or the Razer Phone. Not too sure which one yet. Why is OP still using a 1080p screen though?
I have the OnePlus 5 now and just put it up for sale for 400. Hope it sells. If so I'll grab the 5T with that money. The screen and upgraded camera I will be happy with, the low light on the 5 is just garbage. Still not happy that the 5T didn't add OIS but it's I'm okay w/ the video looking a bit odd, not shakey but just odd, and would help with low light if it had OIS. But whatever! Yeah I want the upgrade.
My Moto x pure died in a crash a 2 weeks ago. Since then I hold myself on buying anything till 5t s release. Well I guess it’s the one , I’m definitely going to buy it wish it was on sale right now
Yep. Pixel 2 XL is already for sale.

TWRP is already released for the 5T, and I'm sure root will be as easy as fastboot oem unlock.
But for this post, yep I'm buying one on the 21st! I might sell my current OnePlus 5.
I'm using a Nexus 6p and can't wait till tax time cause I'm buying this bad boy...high end specs at 500$ damn Skippy son!

- To keep the price down
- Better performance
- Better battery life
I will not. The 5 is already a big phone. I am at my limits with reach on it. The 5t is physically taller with a taller screen. No thanks. Plus I don't buy into the no bezel gimmick. To me, it's just vanity. It adds nothing to the actual experience. It's just something you hope people notice. Look at me! No bezels! I've never once thought to myself while actually using my phone, "man these bezels are just so ugly and huge". No, I actually don't see them... at all. I'm looking at my screen, not my bezels. And I like my fp sensor on the front. I can't tell you how many times I check my phone while it's laying face up on my desk or table. I might consider it if it did something amazing that the 5 didn't, but it's literally the same phone with a stupid tall screen and apparently a worse camera.
I'm not sure. At the moment I have the OP3. I will get the HTC U11+ or the OP5t.
It's a very hard decision
No Oreo. No treble. No sale.

In my opinion just keep the 5, not that big difference between the two.
