Well, since it's Christmas holidays and I'm getting bored, I paired up The Realme X2 EU Version against
Samsung galaxy note 8 to see how it fared.
There were some good things about the Samsung galaxy Note 8 like the Super AMOLED screen, S-Pen and the premium built quality but then, the Realme X2 showed why it is no longer a great deal to buy a two year old Flagship instead of top midrange.
See details: Realme X2 vs Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - two years old Flagship better than today's top midrange?
Let me know your view. You can still get a decent year or two out of the Samsung galaxy note 8 but the newer phones are coming fast with new technologies too.
Had a Note 8 before my realme x2...
Better in Note 8:
Stylus
Display
SpO2 sensor
Better in X2:
All the rest... By far!!!!
Gooooooo x2!!!!!

Wow! During our testing, the Note 8 screen was so Gorgeous! I am still mad at Samsung for not giving it official Android 10 upgrade. That phone is still a beast
Yes. The display is magnificent.
But the X2 is a great display too... Not 2k but with brilliant colors too. I think that the Samsung A50 hás the same or very very similar. At least, ir seems.
I am very happy with my X2. Can't wait for the android 10 update!

X2 is the best choice for value for bucks premium midrange. Samsung galaxy A80 with the same SD 730G cost twice the price of X2 in my country. I had to import the EU version from Aliexpress and I am still loving that choice. Going to 2 months now

Hello!
So my wife has the Note 4 but it is pretty old by now and feels laggy. Unfortunately every new phone has this aspect ratio we both hate 18:9 aside from the Huawei Mate 10 and the the Note FE. Finding the FE seems hard with US warranty and the Mate 10 does not have an OLED screen which she loves. So...as she finds the Note 8 way too long with that hotdog shape...I started thinking the 5t even though is the same aspect ratio, being smaller might be a good alternative. The Mate 10 Pro is also on my short list.
Still, I am leaning towards the 5T the more I read about it. What you guys feel about it after using it for a while? How is Oreo doing on it? Please note that the phone will be completely stock as unlike me, my wife does not want ANY modifications to the stock roms lol
Is battery life really good? From the reviews I read I like that the UI seems very fast and smooth.
Anyways, anything you want to share (and if you came from a Note 4 even better). She does not really use the s-pen so she is fine losing that feature.
Thanks!
I came from Note 4 to OP5T and I love it.

I am guessing the camera is better too?
I am reading a lot of complaints of the 5T camera being worst than the 5 and from samples, it seems like that indeed. I even started considering the Mate 10 Pro now because of that and also the Pixel 2 XL (but with so many burn in issues probably not).
Thanks!
I had different phones, the Xiaomi redmi note 4 lg g6, oneplus 5, s8, and the s8 plus. But I am going to buy to the Xiaomi redmi note 5 pro excellent price performance. The Samsung s8 is also very good if u don't want to flash roms. Easy to setup and system wide ad blocker and almost every month security updates and a very nice screen.
I said go for the s8 the new Samsung experience is very good and many times better than the old touchwiz and a very good battery live and performance.
Hi!
As you saw from my question I am wondering whether it's worth upgrading to S9+ from S7 edge or should I wait for the Note 9 or even S10? What do you think?
Also.. Will there be good development on this device? :fingers-crossed:

Well it was well worth going from my s7 edge to s8 plus so yes of course going to s9 plus is worth it.
sent from my Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
i'll be upgrading to the s9+ from the s7e, mostly because my plan runs out conveniently on the 15th.
i'm not as pumped by the actual phone yet, but the size, screen and 6gb RAM and battery bump in the s9+ looks good and it will be great... until March 15th in 2020 when i'll get the Note 12 / T2 / S11 Ultra, whatever that flagship is.
I had thought about the iPhone X/ Razer phone, and in an ideal world, i'd get either one instead, but the razer is not available locally and getting updates or repair/support for grey market phones is abominable in ... Australia.
(And, i'm not really invested in apple tech, despite having a now 5 year old ipad, and an iphone 4 that technically still works ... and basically everyone i know, has iPhone or Samsung)
s9 arrives later in the week, the s7 edge is still a perfectly great phone, until my daughter smashed it.
any excuse to get a new gadget.
Rom advice? I see Alexandr is makiung dev base, may stick with that stock feel, yet the freedom to use magisk modules. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
S7 and S9 are great ,but i prefer the S9 .
It's all worth it .
I've been a xiaomi owner since my past 2 phones since samsung and others don't have at par developer support. is this changed? a50 seemslike a great phone but can i buy it expecting roms? better than something like redmi note 7 pro? because the samoled screen is smthn i really want but idk about the perfomance in the exynos 9610

if u want to flash roms this is not for u..
I've been using a Pixel 2 XL since February 2018 but it's starting to show its age a bit performance wise. I've replaced the battery back in October as it was getting worn out. Here's to hoping that the S20 Ultra camera will be as great as the camera in my 2 XL.
I own the oneplus 7 pro... Ever since I saw the 90hz I never wanted to go back to anything lower. But I do miss all of the Samsung features. So I'm really waiting for my s20 ultra to come in the mail.

I have the Note 10+, and you get used to the hole punch quickly. With it centered there isn't a lot that normally displays there and even in full screen video it isn't large enough to obscure anything from what I've seen.
Galaxy s8 here that is really showing it's age.
Note 8 since launch day that has 2 cracks in the glass. Been off the charger for only 5hrs and was already down to 53%. So I have a 5000mah battery case just to barely make it through the day. I'm over the camera quality. I'm very excited to say the least. Wife and daughter have the s10+, so I've been itching bad for an upgrade.
Huawei mate 20x . So downgrading on size but excited for 120hz display
P30 Pro
S10+
Also on OnePlus 7 Pro. Hardware is nice and all but parts of software, like for basic stuff like calls and messaging, are simply stupid. Talking about software, OnePlus really can't come close to Samsung.
Note 10+
Xperia XZ2. Switching from sony for my primary device, for the first time ever.
Upgrading from a Note 8 that 2.5 years old. So definitely a huge upgrade for me. But not sure why some people are willing to lose so much money trading in a Note 10 or S10+ for an Ultra. Crazy unless you got money to burn and gotta have the best.

Hello!
If you are here I bet you like your galaxy phones or you are like me and like have a powerful phone that is small... Ish.
(I've posted a similar thread for the Xiaomi side)
I am coming from an amazing old Zuk z2 pro... Which is a similar size as the galaxy s22 but is missing all those new cool things...
So it is time to change and update (I think).
I am getting ahead of myself (as the xiaomi 12 has not been announced outside of China... Not that it would stop me...) but :
Which one would you prefer and why?
Thanks!
s22 all the way... samsung's software is way optimized than xiaomi's. also with s21 and s22 they are providing 4 years of major android updates. xiaomi provides 3 yrs i guess... i would definitely go with s22, especially s22+
