It really depends on your needs / use cases. I have a note 8 and I still use it as my primary phone, but I use the mate 20 x for all of my content consumption. If you can afford it, go for it, but you may want to wait until the price drops a bit
Here are some pros/cons to help:
Pros:
1. Battery life
2. Content consumption
3. Performance
4. Headphone jack
5. Audio quality
5. Great screen, although QHD would have been better. I wish Huawei would have put a QHD screen in and give the user the ability to adjust the settings as needed
6. It's a big phone, but still pocketable
7. The camera is very good, but my note 8 is still the better point and shoot. I know I can get a great shot (in daylight) with the note 8, but the mate x takes some tweaking sometimes depednding on the lighting conditions. Having the 3 lenses is very nice to have though
8. gaming. I don't game very much, but this phone is great when I do
9. Photo editing. I take a ton of family pics and this phone is great for editing
10. The m-pen is a nice feature if you take a lot of notes or draw. I don't have the pen but I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point. Would have been nice if Huawei would have made the pen slimmer and placed a slot in the phone for storing
Cons (China version)
1. If you get the China version, complete Google integration is not there. No contactless payments, Google assistant is not 100%
2. 3rd party launcher integration more difficult
3. Gesture only navigation quirks with 3rd party launchers
4. (Both versions) Nano memory card. Cmon Huawei... don't do that to us
Overall this phone is great. I've used the p8max and zenfon 3 ultra before this, and this truly is the best large phone to date.
Hope that helps.
Lol.. you must be kidding right? your first post was just 4 hours ago!
Coming to the point, you would probably need to give more details such as why are you considering for a switch? What is it that you did not like in Note 9? Do you have eagle eyes to notice the screen difference between Note 9 and Mate 20x (Full HD)? Are you able to handle a bigger phone? What is your primary usage for? Games and media? Or just basic phone use? Where are you based (to understand whether you can buy it locally or import it)? Is Google apps usage important to you (to decide whether to for a International or Chinese variant)? etc etc...
Without providing more details of what you are looking for, no one would be able to read your mind or advise you!
PS: I do not have the phone myself but reading around the threads has given me a good idea about what the phone can and can't do. Probably you can do the same.

Hi guys.
I have an op 7 Pro since June and I'm thinking about to switch to note 10 plus.
Does it worth the move?
Anyone who have both devices?
Before oneplus 7 pro I had s10 plus and p30 pro.
Thank you
May the power of Oneplus 7 Pro be with you
I don' know if you want to start a controversy about which device is worse or better, or anything, but then, The S pen is the fundamental reason why the note series exists, the s pen is the core of the of it, so I always answer this question by asking another, how much interest do you have on using the s pen? And, moreover, anyone thinking about a note series device should first get know about all its capabilities, in this way, you will find your answer, if for any reason you find that the spen is not that atractive for you, or consider it as just a gimmick, then a note series device most definitively is not for you, as there are some other devices that offer similar performance , to put it simple,
note series=S pen

I'm still with 7 pro. I tried note 10 plus and no 90hz is no buy for me..
Night and day difference in response, fluidity etc
May the power of Oneplus 7 Pro be with you
I had the 7 pro. I liked that the phone was rootable, the fingerprint reader was way faster than on the note. It felt a little bit faster.
The reason i switched to the note was the pen and that it has wireless charging. Also that the auto brightness on the 7 pro was crap and annoying. To me the refresh rate wasnt that big of a deal or noticeable.
If you need the pen and wireless charging then its worth the trade. Small features make a good experience.
I had the 7 Pro. It was a great phone. I just wanted to go back to a Note. The wireless charging was one plus for the Note. It plays better with my Samsung Watch. The dual sims in the 7 Pro was a big advantage to me. The deal I got for the Note 10+ and the high resale of the 7
Pro made me switch.
Just made the switch myself. Had the pro for about 6 months, great phone, at first I noticed the difference in screen refresh rate, but a week in and I don't notice it anymore.
I much prefer the physical esthetics of the 10+ over the rounder pro. A square screen for me just feels way more natural.
I like the increase in battery life so far. It isn't huge but big enough that I get a full day now vs getting to evening time and needing to top up.
That said the charging time of the pro is much faster for me. I could get 50 percent in 20 minutes or less.
The auto brightness of the pro was still a big issue for me at times. It got real annoying.
Overall I am happy with the switch. Still have my pro, not sure if I'll sell it or keep it as an extra. It's a fantastic phone.
The only change I wish the note had was the higher refresh rate. I don't necessarily miss it, but this phone with say a 120hz refresh for me would literally be perfect.

Smart select with spen is very underrated feature.
I like fully featured phones and enjoy my note.

Two weeks in now, and I don't miss my 7 Pro at all. I was worried that the software would be my issue, but after switching the bloated carrier firmware for the unbranded version I have has zero complaints. Working like a dream for me!

Hey guys,
I just made the switch yesterday. Had the 7 pro for 2 weeks and since I am super sensitive about the display quality and brightness I decided to get the Note 10 plus. I have been a Sammy user for a long time now but I honestly feel Samsung is still ****ty with their software. For example on OnePlus I really liked how simply you could change the icon shape, change the notification bar settings icons to the custom color you want, even apply any other themes from the play store. You must be now thinking it all can be done in Samsung too but not really to the precision of OnePlus and definitely not so convenient. The FP scanner is really slow on Samsung. And one more major thing I was disappointed with is how they have taken out the different display color settings now on OneUI 2.0. I mean there are only 2 modes now. Earlier they had Basic and a Photo mode which would bring the saturation down, but now no way to do that. And finally the 90hz. Like someone mentioned here, I really didn't think it was a big deal after a weeks usage but after getting back to Note I can feel the difference again. But nevertheless I am happy with the display on Note 10 plus and I think I am going to keep it for sometime. Also few things that I didn't like on OnePlus like the rear camera quality, the overall weight and of course the display except for 90hz were the main reason I made the switch. I can't say I am completely happy yet but hopefully I will be.
im thinking about buying the 9 pro but at has been out for a while should i just wait or should i pull the trigger need some advice
If you want it to install roms forget it, the developers have it very abandoned. For example, no developer has compiled a beta version for Android 12, But if you want to use it normally, I really recommend the 9 more because the 9 Pro with the Rom stock the battery is ****.

As with most other devices, A12 roms are unlikely to be available until after the OOS 12 ROM is released (GA, not Beta).
There are lots of good A11 ROMs out there, and the phone itself (LE2125) is excellent. The stock OOS 11 is also very very good.
But hey, doesn't affect me one way or another what phone/ROM you use. I'm very happy with what I have!
Cheers

A12 OOS official isn't out yet and most devs actually prefer to use finished sources before releasing anything to public. I'm sure some are building ROM's off the beta builds for testing but not releasing them. Also, only some people seem to have issues with the battery, heat, etc. I (and others) have no such issues with our 9pros even on stock OOS. I would suggest the phone to anyone honestly.

Been using the device for over 3 months and can confidently say that nothing makes the device worth the price. The phone heats up with general use. Battery life is pretty ordinary. Not much into camera, screen and performance are the only saving grace.
If I was into ROMs, I would buy a device with the best price to specs ratio like mi 11 series or ROG 5 or even the standard 9 and upcoming 9RT. But avoid the 9 pro at all cost.
The answer for you will depend on your priorities ;-)
I needed a phone recently and found an open box 9 Pro on ebay within my budget. I wouldn't have bought this phone at msrp. My experience has overall been positive. The only time I've overheated the phone was transferring about 80 GB from my old phone before realizing both were on a heat soaked surface. Putting the phone where it could breathe resolved this. Even with extended gaming sessions, the phone has run cool since. Battery life more than meets my daily needs. PD support is ideal as that's what my pc uses at work, so I don't worry about carrying a charger. A 10 min top up at 45W from PD or 65W from the stock charger is a game changer. Going from 20-90% in ~12 mins on the included charger while making coffee & breakfast is great!
Note on battery life: I tend to power off my device for a few mins a couple times each month for consistency. Especially after the primary Google Assistant app updates (this one).
I'm a photography enthusiast and have been generally happy with the 9 Pro IQ. If you do end up getting this phone or the OP9, take some time to review the different options (like Photo, Pro, Portrait) and settings - they are extensive and can be fine tuned for your use case. Be sure to take some test shots to dial this in.
The biggest shortcoming is the selfie cam, which has low dynamic range, easily washing out. I installed gcam MGC by BSG (currently v8.1.101) and it takes much better selfie shots. For the rear facing sensors, the stock camera app vs. gcam HDR+ generally show parity.
My partner has a Pixel 5 so using her phone for selfies is also an option. I prefer the FOV on the OP tho.
The screen is gorgeous! I tried 60 hz vs 120 hz with lpto and noted little effect on battery life, so have remained on the latter. I've found FHD+ meets my needs as the screen size shows little benefit bumping up to QHD+. I appreciate the stock Screen Calibration options and find Advanced > AMOLED Wide Gamut gives the color palette I prefer.
Two things requiring workarounds for my use:
a) My previous phone had a notification light, which I used more than I realized. Rather than turn the screen on periodically, I enabled the Always on Display during my waking hours, problem solved.
b) Historically I've traveled internationally for work, so having dual sims has been a must. It looks like there is work from XDA devs underway to enable this if OP doesn't themselves. Otherwise my partner has an old mobile hotspot from her job I'll commandeer when/if work travel resumes.
Reviews that helped me make an informed decision:
o XDA Devs : of course!
o Notebookcheck

o GSM Arena review and comparison to other phones

o Photography Blog

o Danny Winget Youtube firmware comparison
Hope this helps!
In a lot of ways, the OnePlus 9 Pro is a great phone, with a super-smooth screen, the fastest wired and wireless charging, pleasant software, with a solid long-term update commitment. I even enjoy the camera.

In hindsight; you may be right.
But, still, thermal issues are for sure my biggest gripe.
Besides, yeah, I do feel it is a good device, but getting it over Oneplus 9 or 9RT would depend on the user's preferences.
If your into rooting and modding, warp charging then yes. If you don't root then get a Pixel 6 Pro.

Performance will be close at worst but when it comes to software and features and picture quality the Pixel 6 is on a whole different level. That's just my opinion.

Nobody really knows yet. Since Pixel 6 series is using a new in-house cpu (Tensor) and there are no reviews out yet (product ships on 10/28) so no one really knows what it's going to really perform like. I also would be curious if/how easy it will be to root or unlock bootloader since it's a totally different CPU architecture.
I came from a OnePlus 3T. Overall I think this phone is great, the camera and functionality is slick. I also appreciate that having the phone on max performance levels, screen brightness and sync enabled will impact the battery.
I like that it has an active community here, and on the OnePlus forums. I've logged a few bugs and evidenced how to recreate them. Am I unhappy about the companies communication style, not being open about throttling etc, yes. However I understand that people are human and make mistakes. It's still a young device released 6 months ago. Let's see where we are in a year from now

Funny enough, I was thinking recently if I should get the 8 pro as well. Specifically for rooting/custom ROMs. I'm currently using a OP6T (rooted with CrDroid ROM), I can literally get the 8 Pro for free with a screen protector + case and some cash left from my £500 Amazon giftcard. But I just don't know if I should get a 8 pro or not and I can't justify the purchase tbh

Be careful. I am not able to send text msgs randomly I am on Sprint/T-Mobile and nothing works. It's why I'm trying to get the 9 pro.
So the whole internet is questioning the smaller battery in the vanilla S22.
However as I am upgrading from a HTC U11 I am expecting it at least to not be a downgrade regarding battery life, right?
I am finding it hard to compare online, so I hoped someone over here would be able to say something wise on this subject before I put my pre-order in.
My U11 has had a new battery quite recently and I am satisfied with the battery life.
If the S22 would be similar or better I would be happy to buy it.
Of course it's difficult to talk on S22 battery life as the device is barely out but maybe someone could elaborate on their knowledge, for example from owning a S21?
i doubt itd be worse, as the exynos 2200 should be much more power efficient than the snapdragon 835 (considering the efficiency of the exynos 2100). all in all it shouldnt be a downgrade, though it may not be too impressive either. maybe wait for it to release and wait for some reviews, then buy it. thats the safe option.
Thanks for your reply, I will await some reviews for sure.
The difficult thing is that reviewers are (of course) comparing to current models.
I would like a comparison with my current device.
As long as it's no downgrade for sure, it would be good enough for me.
Look for a battery life/charging test for the S22, then test your own phone and compare.
There are multiple battery tests on youtube and they are all looking good. Marques Brownlee and some influencers bashed s22 battery right after the launch date and may have scared off few people but they have all retracted their opinions after more and more real life test results started popping up.
S22 should last all day, most test results have 5-7 SOT depending on the usage. Same tests show that Plus and Ultra have longer battery life but not by a long shot.
I have had the S22 for 3 days now. After debloating and turning off nearly everything in the background that I don't need, I think a full day will be no problem. I was worried as the battery seemed small versus the larger phones.
If you don't "fiddle" with your phone and run this right from the box I think you will struggle to last the entire day. There is a lot of crap on the phone running. There are so many hidden settings. So many apps trying to run in the background. Trying to connect/search for other devices.
I am coming from a 3 year old Huawei P30 Pro with Emui 10 and I find this software terrible (even compare to Emui! )
I used ADB AppControl to debloated. Great software. Very easy.

Could you tell which apps you removed and what exact fiddling you did?
I switched from HTC U11+ to S22+ and I am really disappointed with the battery life.
I can`t even get through a day, with SOT less than 3 hours.
Mine is set to be delivered tmrw. if anyone has hands on knowledge on what to debloat it would be tremendously helpful.
Thanks

Good info - I am hoping that the 60 hertz refresh rate will improve SOT a lot .
I like the size but I HATE that they did not make it .2 inches thicker and give it 4100 MAH !
Or a PRO version - .3 thicker for another $100-150 with 4500 MAH . People like me who use phone as a laptop and millions of others would love it.
Marketing research shows that the thinness is a big selling point ?¿
You will not meet women if your phone is too thick ?¿

Also - I wonder if there is a fixed refresh rate like 60 hertz only .
Because - the variable refresh rate may use battery as it is always scanning usage to assign ( possibly ) refresh rate.
The refresh rate for static pages was supposed to go down to 10 hertz but only S22 ULTRA does this .
So gamers should be able to switch to 120 hertz when needed ...and hopefully the rest of us can save battery by setting 'fixed 60 hertz '- hopefully .
I have not purchased S22 yet until I am sure I can get 6 hours SOT on LTE 4 or 5G at 30 % to 35 % brightness.
I Appreciate all the info here.

Never owned a Samsung device, so some new techniques to master maybe.
Would ADB AppControl require root?
As I'm reluctant to root directly because I might return the device if I'm not happy (battery & haptic notifications?).

kinda disappointing how my budget poco m3 lasts 2 days with heavy usage, but a flagship which is 2 years newer can barely manage a day.. i know that high end devices consume more power, and the battery in the s22 is smaller. but i wouldve expected tech to become advanced enough for it to atleast compete with larger battery counterparts which are releasing in 2022. so far the s22 and s22 ultra are pretty disappointing in battery life. though, the mi 12 with the 888 gen1 chipset doesnt have great battery life either.. so not really sure if its the chip or the batteries. guess we'll find out more as we progress through the year.

Just got my S22 (snapdragon) in. In playing around with it, the battery percentage was dropping like crazy. Hopefully with some configuration and over time it will get better like yours

I haven't had that experience at all. I've had my Snapdragon S22 Ultra four days now and battery life is amazing.
if anyone backed up and restored with Smart Switch, I recommend either factory resetting your phone and starting from scratch or resetting your apps and settings. My Smart Switch backup was killing my battery. And in the day it's been factory reset, battery life is much better.

I am very happy to fiddle!
Never owned a Samsung device, so some new techniques to master maybe.
Would ADB AppControl require root?
As I'm reluctant to root directly because I might return the device if I'm not happy (battery & haptic notifications?).

No root required. Very simple instructions. Enable Developer mode and turn on USB Debugging.

Could you tell which apps you removed and what exact fiddling you did?
I switched from HTC U11+ to S22+ and I am really disappointed with the battery life.
I can`t even get through a day, with SOT less than 3 hours.

Using ADB AppControl I did the following (My phone is running fine now *See edit*)
(**you can probably delete all of these instead of disable AND some apps with be auto-disabled if they are not used which is nice...)
*Do this at your own risk* And I won't be adding more this thread. I am very happy with my phone.
I did it heavily as my phone was new and if I had to do a factory reset I was OK with that).
*Edit*
- I had to enable KPECore services. It was affecting Automate from acknowledging I had paid for it.
**YouTube - I use Vanced Micro G and YouTube Vanced
**Facebook - Left this battery hog and toxic service long ago.
**Amazon - Reinstalled from Appstore. Just disabled for no particular reason.
*Some of the spelling is off as I used an OCR text recognition from screenshots of ADB AppControl instead of typing each one out manually.

I've been wanting to get this phone as my daily driver. I've been wanting something with stellar performance and a top notch camera.
If I do end up getting it, I want to use it for four years.
I'm coming from a oneplus 6, which has handled its fair share of hardcore usage. From heavy multi tasking, to having its hot-spot stay on for 12 hours a day, to heavy gaming, and a phone loaded with data, Its seen it all.
I wanted to know whether the vivo users here think that the x80 pro will be able to take such hardcore usage day in and out for at least 4-5 years?
I am just a little worried before I spend all this money on a brand which I know very little about. Especially because most of the information online seems to be "sponsored" by vivo. I mean the phone does look really promising on paper. But would it be able to take this beating in real life?
I also heard that the vivo x80 pro heats up doing regular things such as watching YouTube videos etc. and that I'd be better off waiting for the vivo x80 pro plus. Would that be a good idea? I was really looking forward to the vivo. So any input would be appreciated.
Hi,
I've the vivo x80 pro (origin is, 512 gb, dim9000) since two weeks, coming from OnePlus 5 which was my hardcore daily driver. After solving some issues with notifications and drawer style I'm very happy with it. Camera, display, charging, customize options, speed is really perfect compared to OnePlus.
Having a videocall over 45 min with turned on selfiecamera the phone gets warm - we had 35 degrees of Celsius yesterday in Germany ... Haven't played any game so far, so no experience with that. I'm getting also used to the missing notification badges on my home display and to its size/weight.
Battery performance improves day by day - after one day normal usage (weekend day: Reddit, YouTube, Spotify, WhatsApp, browsing, taking pictures) more than 50% capacity is left, therefore it would last about 2 days without recharging in my case.
Summary: I'm very happy with the purchase hoping that the x80 pro will last 5 years at least.

Hey, thank you so much for your reply. However, I am in India so I would probably be getting the snapdragon version. The dimensity version is either too expensive or too difficult to get where I live.
I wanted to know the above about the snapdragon version.
Hi
I've the vivo x80 pro (origin is, 512 gb, dim9000) since last week. I have ordered the Snapdragon version but i get the Dim 9000.
My daily driver was a redmi Note 10. The Vivo had some issues which i sorted out last weekend.
It was very warm here in Germany, 38 degrees, and I was busy the whole weekend with my new phone.
A lot has been tried, installed, adjusted and tested, of course the phone has also been charged several times.
This phone hasn't gotten warmer than the Redmi Note 10.
But with the quick charge it gets warm.
I ´am very happy this this phone and the performance an camera is a big step up from the old phone

Depending on scenario there is not that big difference between snap and dim9000 - in my opinion, you will not notice a 2-3% difference in performance, battery life or heat. 2% based on 40 degrees of celsius is 0.8 degrees difference -> your hand will be not able to tell you if the phone is 40.0 or 40.8 degrees hot. Therefore, the difference between snap and dim9000 is really negligible when benchmarking normal day usage.
/edit: I've been watching youtube videos yesterday more than 1.5 hours, the phone was not getting too hot although we had crazy high temperatures in Southern Germany.
Wow, thank you so much for your comprehensive reply.
I will definitely take this into consideration.
However, I would also want input from a snapdragon user just for the peace of mind before I put all this money into purchasing this phone.
Just got the X80 Pro SD8G1 version and already got some nice updates as well as optinal updates(They call it Trial updates, though it acts like Beta).
On the first day, due to all the transferring I've done from mine legendary Mate 40 Pro, it got hot but not scorching hot.
The camera is SuperB as you've heard and seen thought the reviews, it's extremely versatile and the ISP is fast, yet again it did get hot but ever so slightly, nothing to worry about.
Battery is being tested so i don't have a conclusion yet, but it should be solid though probably nothing like iPhone 13 Pro Max or the Mate 20 X(best Android battery life EVER).
Speakers are very good but lacks some bass.
Overall performance are very solid and the charge speed is fast as hell.
Now, battery will get a hit over the year with heavy use and i'm unsure how this will unfold, but judging from my past you should not worry about it.
You'll have a blast with this phone, just wish it was bigger with bigger battery but well...

may I ask, Funtouch (global) or Origin OS (CN) version ?
thinking of selling my S22U for X80 Pro global, but would certainly like to hear some user feedback first because global version is very expensive in EU

Wow, Thank you for your reply.
I am so glad to hear all these positive things about the phone.
However, I can't help but mention a review i was watching online where they used the camera on this phone for a while. Perhaps around 20+ minutes outdoors and it got super hot to the point where it was unable to perform.
Just wanted to see whether you've experienced anything like this using the camera?

Funtouch OS 12 and you can try FunTouch os13 if you want.
So far it's very smooth outside the stock gallery app which lags a bit, but that can be easily replaced.

I'll try it this week and report back but it's understandable.
That happened to me with mine Mate 9 and Galaxy devices, you should minimize the sun reflection on the phone as it heats it up massively, don't forget that black colour sucks heat more than any others.

Well Vivo should release X80Pro Plus in July if rumors are to be believed.
You can always wait but it's kinda endless, for now i ordered the Vivo x80 pro to replace the legendary Mate 40 pro.
If they'll be a much better phone down the road, then i'll sell it.

If you like a phone where the notifications are not working, you should definetly consider buying it, or maybe you want mine?
I got tired already, that no notifications and floating windows works... and this in a flagship phone...

Well, I definitively avoid phones with CN roms. Basic things like fully working Google apps, notifications, Android auto, 3rd party launchers etc are often problematic with these
