Was looking at getting this phone or a og pixel 1. Anyone have both of the phones ? Just wanted to see the pros and cons. I like the a2 lite because of the battery, SD card, screen. But I like the pixel for the ROMs and camera

Hi guys,
I would like to switch from my asus zenfone 2 64G to a more development supported dual sim phone. Preferably under $300 or exactly $300. What would be a good choice in your opinion.
Please, elaborate if possible.
Thanks
Please, advise me.
dual sim phone that works great and is UNDER $300? hummmmmmm ....... oh yeah - zenfone 2. Your price limitations exclude any dual sim phone worth it weight in toilet paper. Save up some extra cash for an Honor 8, or suck it up and keep this phone.
Redmi Note 3
Moto G4 Plus
Blu Life One X
Sony Xperia XA Ultra (Amazon has the Lime Gold w/64GB microSD for less than 300)
LeEco Le 2 (if you can find it)
Huawei Mate 8

In my experience stay away from Blu products. Their screens are very fragile. They save money by not placing that extra layer of glass on it. So if it cracks at all you're done.

Thanks my friends for all your opinions. What about Oneplus 2? Would you suggest it?

if you want cheaper one and crazy about screen quality.. go for mi4i... best screen i think so. camera quality is far better than any samsung flahship.. don't go too much over online reviews. i personally used mi4i and mi5.
Hello all, my girlfriend just got the huawei P10 Plus. It has an amazing camera app, i cant find it anywhere. Is anyone able to port it to the pixel XL? I understand monochrome and a few other features might not work.
Bump. anyone?
Pull the apk and try it.
If it doesn't then it requires the framework built into their Rom. Which in short means you can't use it.

I want to buy one. As I know it is light triggered. So, theoretically, any LED light with enough power should be able to use it. Anyone try it before? I am not using a Asus phone.
Looking at the website I believe so

I have one. But it only works on Zenfone 2 series(2/deluxe). I tried it on Xiaomi and Samsung and it doesn't work. Even on Zenfone 3, Selfie or Zoom also doesn't work.
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 ?
