I've used pixel xl series before and currently stuck on a xiaomi budget phone. Thinking of buying a phone hence stuck between Pixel XL and Xiaomi mi A2. I know pixel is old but i has a powerful cpu and great camera. But what i wanna know is will CPU 660 powered A2 be great than Pixel XL whem it clmes to snappiness and gaming or won't there much of difference? I know A2 will have great community support but i wanna see whether the Pixel XL can beat this or not. Would appreciate yourl guys opinion.
SD660 slightly out performs SD82x in synthetic benchmarks but as far as graphics go it's like half the graphics performance of adreno 530 (SD82x)
You can't go wrong with either device just depends on if you need camera/gaming for (Marlin) or newer devices with development (Mi A2)

I have to get rid of my phone and buy a new one in the next 2 weeks, I won't upgrade anytime soon so it has to be a SD821. which one of those two do you guys recommend and why?
As i can see, 5.5" size is important for you. In your position i go for OnePlus 3T.
Mi5s Plus, is a no go for me, that dual camera it's even worst than Mi5 camera because it's to much dependable of image algorithm where Xiaomi sucks.
It has oled 5.5", SD821, dash charge that it's better than QC 3.0 and super community support.
If Size was not important, all the way to Mi5s (not plus).
My vote goes for either Mi 5s Plus or Oneplus 3T. I think the software is better on the 3T (better international translations).
hi every one
i want to buy a new smart phone
i have some questions abut mi 5
1)so i watch youtube video its was so bad.... is this phone bending?
2)price in my country is 300 for mi5 and 325 for mi5 s .... witch one is better?
3)best antutu benchmark on mi5 and mi5s?
thank
1)so i watch youtube video its was so bad.... is this phone bending?
Mi 5S is thought to be sturdier than the Mi 5. But with a good quality hard case I really doubt you'll ever get as far as bending it, especially not by accident.
2)price in my country is 300 for mi5 and 325 for mi5 s .... witch one is better?
Mi 5S is the updated version with faster chipset and new fingerprint scanner etcetera. Some people argue the software support is better on the Mi 5 though, as it is sold more. Hard to make a hard case of that argument as it is mostly speculation from people who don't have both and cannot see in the future.
3)best antutu benchmark on mi5 and mi5s?
Almost certain the Mi 5S as it has the superior specs.
so mi5s is not bending right?
and its faster?
how much difference it has with mi 6?
tanx for answer bro:fingers-crossed:
It will definitely not bend. I've never put a cover on mine and almost every time I sit on my sofa to play PS4 I end up sitting on top of it haha.
Yes the Snapdragon 821 is definitely faster than the 820 I've had both the mi 5 and mi 5s.
The mi 5s (not plus) share the same camera as the Google Pixel, which Google claim is the best camera available on a smartphone today.
Finally the fingerprint is wayyy better than mi 5
As for the mi 6, that's a beast of a processor it has (Snapdragon 835). Camera setup is a dual telephoto camera. The only drawback (for some, I personally use a pair of letv cdla headphones) is that it lacks the audio jack.

tnax i go buy the mi5 s ...ops just buyet
Currently I have Xiaomi Mi 8. But recently there are some interesting offers for second hand Google Pixel 2 XL for about 390.5 USD. Quite confusing because Xiaomi Mi 8 has newer chipset (SD 845), better display (Samsung AMOLED vs LG p-OLED), and larger RAM (6 GB vs 4 GB). But in the other hand Google Pixel 2 XL has much stronger camera, stock Android, it's like a dream device. I'm just a casual user (messenger, social media, browsing, Spotify, taking some photos for Instagram feed) What's your opinion? Should I keep my Xiaomi Mi 8 or goes to second hand Pixel 2 XL?
Its all about personal preference, I had an S8+, then moved to a One Plus 6 and finally settled on a Pixel 2 XL all within a 6 month period
I'd heard so much about the camera that I wanted to try it and I can happily say I am not disappointed at all
Just download a custom Gcam for your phone and keep it. There's plenty for Mi8.
The difference in camera between Chinese phone with Gcam or Pixel is too small to be worth it.
Just look at my photo comparison to make up your mind. It's a cheaper Xiaomi, so your result works be even better.

Haha maybe we have same story. I used Mi5s then my friends bought it, so I bought Mi 8, then I try Mi A2, then I came back to Mi 8. Then these Pixel 2 XL offers come. Indeed it's up to personal preference. I also put concern on second hand device, especially for OLED display and its battery. I already try to search for Pixel 2 XL spare part and it's quite hard to find, in other hand Mi 8 spare part is easy to find, despite quite pricey

Already tried GCam on Mi8 and Mi A2. Yes, it's totally improve photo quality
I would say to buy it at a good price and use it. If you don't like the 2 XL simply resell it.

I have also used many phones recently ( S8, S9, P20 pro, P20, Honor 10, Pixel 1, Pixel 2 etc)
I always had HTC U11 with me as second device and now using Pixel 2 XL as primary device, I have made comparison of photos between them after installing Googel camera 3 ports and result are identical ..some photos in dark lights are even better on HTC U11 because it bring more lights ..Now U11 is underrated and I got almost mint U11 with all accessories for £190 while got mint condition used pixel without accessories for £247
What I like about pixel 2 Xl as compare to U11 is just stock software and quick updates but I have noticed many issues with Pixel 2XL i.e it get heated during intensive tasks i.e when you turn on hotspot while use the phone , it charge very slow with others fast chargers so if you don't have orginal fast charger then it will take ages to fully charge the battery while my U11 was able to charge phone quickly no matter what others spare fast charger I have used ..memory is also issue limited to 64GB, sound from earpiece during voice/internet calling is poor …Pixel 2 xl has bigger battery but screen on time is same or less than U11....Pixel 2XL give 6-6.30 hour screen on time on 4g while U11 was giving 7.00 to 7.30 hours on 4G..I have got few spare type C headphones of U11 but they don't work on pixel 2 xl
Pixel 2 XL Is great device but its far from perfect but people will keep it for stock experience and camera hype and by the way I was using Mi 8 Gcam port for U11 and developer B-S-G own Mi 8 so you get plenty of camera port from him for this device
Hello,
I have been using different pixel phones ( Pixel 2, 3, 4) before moving to hauwei phones and now i have sold my huawei and thinking to get back on Pixel but Pixel phone did not change much from last 3 genertaion. I did not like the screen on any Pixel to be honest i.e they all had low brightness and was not as good as samsung/Huawei .Camera, sound, software, battery of Pixel 2 XL is as good as pixel 4/4 XL so i dont see any reason why i should spend more on 3 and 4 when i am getting same experience on cheaper Pixel 2/3a/4a ? Would new pixel 5 or 5S would be any different ? Yes Google software processing is great but why they are not brining latest camera hardware ..apple was behind google in camera department but now they are going head to head if not better . I like onplus software and others specs but camera is not best which is important for me so whats ur opinions ?
Specs wise I would like to get OnePlus 11 but I've been seeing some info that maybe custom roms won't be coming. Any guidance is appreciated.
The Pixel 7 Pro definitely has more development. OnePlus made it difficult to recover from bricking so many developers have passed them up. A OnePlus 11 running LineageOS or AOSP based ROM would be amazing though.
Get a OnePlus 9 Pro. Comparable CPU, faster GPU with better support than Mali, display is kind of a wash (it's dimmer on the OnePlus but people tend to think the colors are better than the Pixel 7 Pro), much better modem, $600 new on Amazon or you can get them pretty cheap on Swappa and there are a ton of custom ROMs as well as unbricking tools available in case you need them. Don't buy the T-Mobile model though, you'll be hating life. Just get the regular unlocked model, LE2125.
Peep the OnePlus 9 Pro forum and see just how much dev support the thing has.
OnePlus 9 Pro
The OnePlus 9 Pro is a 6.7" phone with a 1440x3216p 120Hz display. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset is paired with 8/12GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage. The main camera is 48+8+50+2MP and the selfie camera is 16MP. The battery has a 4,500mAh capacity.

If you want privacy, Pixel 7 Pro with Graphene OS.
Oneplus 9 pro is still great.
So far nobody is recommending OP11. So you guys don't feel very confident about OP11 custom rom prospects?

Not without a recovery tool being available. Just look at the 10 Pro and 10T before it that didn't have one either.
As long as there is nothing like MSM Tools, noone will recommend Oneplus'es new flagship phone Oneplus 10 Pro upwards.
OnePlus 9 pro seems like it'll be the only OP device with support for ROMs. I like the 9 pro. It's been a good phone. Soon as I can sell my S22 ultra I'll be going back to it more than likely.
