Hi,
Any honor user can answer following questions.
1. How's the battery life after Oreo update(system on time)?
2.Heating issue while using camera?
3. bootloader can be unlocked?
Which one to consider to buy Redmi Note 5 pro or Honor 8 pro?
Currently am using OnePlus 2, so looking for mobile which doesn't having heating issue and has better battery backup.
Honor 8 pro users need your inputs.
To answer your questions!! Redmi note 5 pro and honor 8 pro are both in different segments... If raw performance and camera are to be taken into account...honor 8 pro wins by a lot...as for sot i can pull about 6.5 hrs with a mix of 4g and wifi and about 7hrs on wifi...if i game heavily it obviously goes down to around 5hrs 45 m8ns or so... You probably don't need a camera review it is really good... Bootloader can be unlocked still but as Huawei have mentioned they will close the servers after two months or so... When using camera for more than say 10-12 mins the place near camera module does feel warm i would not say it heats up... You can't keep the camera on for a prolonged period if you're not recording because the camera turns off and the heat goes away!! I'll attach a screenshot of the sot for ya!!

Thanks buddy for your reply....
i noticed we lost the call record feature...
For me Honor 8 Pro Oreo (EMUI 8) did not bring a positive experience.
1. Camera is good but the top edge of the phone does heat up quite a bit if you're clicking continuously.
2. Battery life is really poor in my opinion. Apparently, the Oreo-based EMUI 8 totally shipwrecked the battery backup, at least the C675 (India) variant. I can barely manage 6.5 hours of SoT with regular usage, with around 10% charge left. I am having to charge my phone more than once in 24 hours. Also, the phone becomes warm randomly.
There are also quite a number of bugs that came with it.
I recommend you do visit the Honor Club forum here: https://club.hihonor.com/in/lead-the-pack-honor-8-pro.309 and hang around there a little before you take your decision.

I am not satsified with the honor 8 Pro device. Specifications are good but it seems it doesn't work at its most. So i prefer to look for other choices such as honor v10, one plus 6, or stock Android

Hey guys, I need your help. I wish to buy Redmi Note 5 ai 3/32gb (money is an issue otherwise I would've gone for 4/64gb) within a month but I need some information. Could you please provide me information?
1. How much SOT do you usually get with Android Pie based custom ROMs with or without custom kernels?
2. Would I face any lag or Fps drops with 3gb variant while playing Pubg and Heroes Evolved (Mobile Legend like game)?
3. With what graphics requirement do you can play pubg?
4. Does Note 5 ai support QC3.0? I know Xiaomi ships it with qc2.0 adapter cable but I have QC3.0 adapters from my previous device and I will buy qc3.0 cable if it does.
5. How much time does it take to charge from 15% to 80% with stock charger?
Thank you, I really appreciate your answer.

1 . Gaming+normal usage i usually get 5-6hr+ s0t .
2 . With HE i never face any fps drop ,60fps mode. On pubg custom gfx setting 60fps+hd , there tiny lag sometimes .
3. ----
4. Qc 2.0 confirmed .
5. 2hour++
Redmi Note 5 AI has quick charge 3.0
Less than 1hour 15mins to charge from 15 to 80%
With WI-FI browsing we can get 10+ hours SOT
With 4G browsing 7+hours SOT can be achieved easily with two days battery life

not ugly memeui. I am asking for Pie based custom roms.
I dont think your expectations are realistic when buying a phone for 140usd.. Games run just fine, not at best settings, but good enough. Battery is amazing, and if 6hours of gaming in 1 charge is not good for you, then no device will be good enough, because its a good result. Well except for tablets, or something like mi max 3.

What you're telling $140, its $220 approx while purchasing in our country. 6 hour nonstop gaming is definitely OK but someone mentioned he got 6hour sot with gaming+light usage, that's what bugging me. And I mentioned Android pie custom roms. I saw battery life starts to get deteriorated with newer android version than the phone's original Android version.

Well its your country tax then, but that doesnt change the fact that phone cost 140usd in all eshops. And yes, battery life with custom roms is not as good as stock, not by much, but worse. But its only logical, throughout 10 years of flashing custom roms it was always the same story no matter which phone. As i said before, if this phone is not good enough in this price for you, then i doubt that any phone will be, because atleast in europe, nothing comes even close to price/performance/quality of RN5.

Mate 20X 5G EVR-N29 & EVR-AN00 EMUI 10/Android 10 Release & Experience Questions
Hi! I am in the process of getting my new Mate 20x 5G EVR-N29 despite its disadvantages over the 4G version and would like to know if the EMUI 10/Android 10 Update is released or releasing anytime soon.
Also, please share your experience and bugs as well as there does not seem to be any dedicated threads for this device.
Not sure why but hope this will change as I think there should be dedicated sub-forums for this model to help users with device specific guidance, customisations and news.
In particular, I would like to know if display density reset issue remains or whether call recording can be enabled by default on EVR-N29.. Comments on Battery Life, Loudness of Speakers, M-Pen use and 5G performance also welcome.

may i ask why u went for the 5G version? summary of disadvantages:
- smaller battery
- no stereo speakers (earphone is now used as second speaker, thus unequal loudness)
- no 3.5 mm headphone jack
- higher battery consumption at 5G / basically non-existant coverage as of yet
- significantly higher price tag
- sound not as loud / good as the 4G version (headphones)

Have you spent any time browsing the Huawei forums on XDA, in particularly this one for the Mate 20x? They are basically dead "Mate", no pun intended.

Great question! Very accurate list of disadvantages. Thanks. I was one of the first to post about the disadvantages of this model in this forum when the details of its features were first leaked, subsequently officially announced. I was and still very upset with Huawei for what they did to Mate 20 X.
I am getting a very special discount on the price of the 5G model which I could not refuse so I am buying it. I love large phones and currently still using my Zenfone 3 Ultra and very happy with it despite the lack of NFC and 5G but want my next phone to be 5G ready and larger than my current phone as a future investment and to protect its resale value. Until proper folding devices become widespread, I think I could manage with the 5G Mate 20X. Besides, it also has large memory (compared to the European non-5g model EVR-L29) and Google Play Store and GMS is pre-installed so not need to sideload like on the non-5G 256Gb version (China Version).
I will share my experience with it when my phone arrives next week and really hope I could upgrade to Android 10 as hopefully the display density reset issue will be solved so I could make better use of the screen space.
@AWFRONT I am in same boat as you, waiting to get it next week!
same reasons to buy it, I had 20x 4g china almost year...
Phone is very close to 4g, however i like the below advantages.:
5G network is becoming common in Dubai so it is great to have 5G phone
Ram is bigger 8gb
Performance is slightly higher
Storage is 256gb
Didn't realize any difference in battery performance compared to 4G
SPLASH, WATER, AND DUST RESISTANT
SuperCharge (Max 40 W)
Yes you can install call recording in global phone
The only thing i can highlight is:
Sound is not as 4g
We didn't receive EMUI 10 yet even beta
---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------
But if you want a very nice 5G phone i would recommend mate 30 pro 5G uf a big screen is not important to you .
I had a mistake that i bought mate 30 pro 4G recently and i have mate 20 x 5G.

how can performance be higher if hardware is exactly the same in terms of SoC?
8/256 also in chinese 4G
battery performance should be significantly different at 84% battery capacity plus 5G eats more battery than 4G, especially with a separate 5G modem, so more hardware to power.
both 4G and 5G models are rated at IP53, no difference there.
supercharge at 40W is indeed different / higher than 4G and of course its nice to have global version
not criticizing here folks, just keeping the facts straight!
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi Max 2 (Oxygen) using Tapatalk
Yes, like this. Good is 8gb on global sw and faster charging. Bad is smaller battery and worse sound.
Other same.
I hope it will serve me one day whole on 4g, until 5g come to Serbia. Then I will see..
I got it yesterday, played just a little for now.
Of course, all is same.
I noticed that screen is maybe little better calibrated (easily can be just production variations). Less green tint and a fraction stronger saturation on normal mode. Goes a little to red, not perfect...
No option for flicker reduce (as I remember on al00 it was introduced in 9.1 emui?).
Today I will set it usually for me, battery analysis in few days.
Charge is incredible : went from 40 to 95 percent in 10 or 15 minutes!

You know that super charging and fast charging reduces battery longetivity. I personally 5W charge my device and try and use the 80-40% charge regimen.

This is another short coming of EMUI, there is no place in software to turn off " fast charging", unlike Samsung which you can. My current charger , charges at approx 23% per hour / 1023mA. , Device temp doesn't even exceed 24C while charging. Sometimes , I do use a Samsung charger which charges at approx 1800mA.

We must wait. Don't flash manually
I installed the Huawei Recording app and it works perfectly on the EVR-N29. Tested and the quality is excellent.
I have been trying to chnage the default launcher to another launcher such as Action, TFS, Smart etc... However, each time I swap the launcher to test out the best one to use with the right DPI settings, I have noticed that each launcher that would normally work perfectly fine will then stop functioning with error messages of various sorts and even the recover, reset settings of the respective launchers don't fix this problem. When the DPI of the device is reverted to the original 423, even then the launcer refuses to work.
I am just wondering if there is a Huawei protective service that kicks in to prevent any other launcher apart from the default Huawei launcher taking over the default settings. I have uninstalled and resinstaleld my chosen launcher, cleared data, cache etc but still no fix. As a result, annoyed with what happened, I had to factory reset my device and now only installed one launcher without trying other launchers and the problem is fixed.
As a final observation, as a new user of the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G, I really think Huawei needs to overhaul its default launcher by incorporating a number of great features from the Asus Launcher or a combination of others such as the great TSF Launcher, Smart Launcher and the Action Launcher/Pixel Edition. As someone who used a P8 Max back in the days, I have not seen any significant improvements since 2011, which is a great shame for a company like Huawei. Recently, switched from the Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra and I do miss a lot of features of the Asus Launcher. I guess I won't be heard by Huawei but hope somoene will help to resolve these annoyances I have with my new device.
The Huawei Mate 20 X 5G behavior is similar to the Chinese rom, you can't change the default launcher.

Coz I already got the EVR-AN00 Chinese Version and plan to sell it just because of this annoying thing I can't set it to Nova Launcher.
Someone please confirm this.

On N29 you can always go to nova launcher, I use it all the time. After every update it goes to huawei home, but you can change if want

If you are running Android 10 on EVR-N29, which is what I am doing now, you will have no issues with the launcher defaulting. When I posted the original thread I was running Android 9.1 and now upgraded to 10 and hopefully EMUI 10.1 soon. All is good overall and would highly recommend upgrade as this will alleviate most of the reported issues on the international version. I am assuming EVR-L29, the 4g Version would also behave in a similarly smooth way if upgraded to Android 10.. I doubt if the Chinese versions would run fine as I think it is not possible to change the launcher using the settings. Perhaps someone else can confirm.
What will android 10.1 bring that 10 lacks?

It is actually the EMUI 10.1 update by Huawei. Not sure if the version of Android changes slightly to a version 10.x but we shall find out.
Here are the expected feautures for the Mate 20X and other recent Huawei devices:
The EMUI 10.1 brings MeeTime, Multi-view Conference, Multi-screen, Hands-free video calling, Huawei Share, OneHop, Cast+ Wireless Projection, Sound Booster, Cross-Device Photo Gallery, Celia Voice Assistant, New Themes, Multi-Window, Multi-Device Control Panel, Fast Performance, Security and Privacy.

You can also check on YouTube and other places for videos of how the UI will look.

Yes, I totally agree that the battery life on the Mate 20X (in particular the EVR-N29 5G Model) is very poor. Not sure if the new update will improve battery life but I really hope that it will. My previous Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra had slightly higher capacity but had much better battery management. Huawei needs to get this right urgently.
Huawei phones need to stop being just about good camera tech. They need to improve the UI, battery and some other basics that they could easily learn from Asus. A brand I don't really like due to poor customer service but really admire their efforts to produce usable and well thought out products.

This !!! Crazy facts !!
Yes, I totally agree that the battery life on the Mate 20X (in particular the EVR-N29 5G Model) is very poor. Not sure if the new update will improve battery life but I really hope that it will. My previous Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra had slightly higher capacity but had much better battery management.

Whats so confusing is those claiming to get 9 hours sot on the 20x. But many more still claim poor battery. I dont know what to make of this. On my samsung a70 with 4500 mah I get 5 - 6 hours sot and 2- 3 days standby time.
What are your sot and standby time on your mate 20x?

The short of a long answer is that if you are happy NOT to have a 5G phone yet then to address the battery issue I would recommend the 4G EVR-L29 model which has many advantages such as the higher battery, proper LOUD dual speakers and the headphone jack. The 5G model does not have these and when I run on 5g where I get reception, battery life is even worse. I think the best part of the 5g model is just the 256GB memory, 5g and the40 watt charging which the 4g International model does not have. (256gb available only on the China Version of the 4G Model)
In my experience, even with very minimal use the 5g model will require charging at least once per day but the 4g model will definitely last longer than a day with minimal use. I think the problem lies with the display, the Balong 5000 5G MultiMode chipset and crucially poor battery mamagement of these systems on this device. Today with around 1hr of use at 50% brightenss, battery depleted by around 30%. Which to me is not acceptable. I only used it for browsing and typing.
Hello
I have a S21U exynos for nearly a year and it's beginning to boring me, I don't dare to root it because of knox
Also I don't like that sometimes I have to double swipe because the screen needs a longer swipe area than OP phone or the s21u screen are just not as responsive. Same goes for the double tap to open anything because Samsung UI doesn't accept to open an app or menu/settings if any even very slight scrolling is still on screen.
Here's why I am tempted by the 9 Pro:
-Snapdragon vs exynos
-The battery is finally nearly the same thanks to A12, no ?
-ROOT freedom, when I am getting bired of the OS I can simple change the custom rom wmabd all that without being afraid of knox
-OP 10 pro unveiled today looks nothing better than 9 Pro besides the cpu/gpu, the mi 12 pro tele lens is catastrophic given the actual reviews, the s22u will be a copy/paste of the s21u but with an spen... Well 2022 is not a wow year
What I am afraid to miss the most though is the 10x telescopic zoom, but over 11 months I only used like 10 times mostly to impress my gf with moon shots lol
So what do you think? Am I crazy?
Anyone had an s21u and got the 9 Pro?
I had the 9 Pro and got the S21U in august
Battery is better BY FAR, my Op9 was laggy and buggy and i couldnt figure out why. OxygenOS is basically dead and that was always the main reason to buy the OP

You are talking about the S21U exynos or snnapdragon?
9 Pro got a better battery since A12 as I heard so I guess it's now pretty close to s21u exynos

Exynos. Haven't had A12, but as I said, without OxygenOS OnePlus is dead. ColorOS (what A12 basically is on OP9) is trash
I have the 9 Pro for 5-6 month now. Switched from Pixel 4Xl to iPhone 11 Pro Max to Note 20 Ultra cheated with Xperie 1ii and back to iPhone 12 Pro Max, then i bought the 9 Pro. So i switched a lot last year. I'm not a fanboy of any brand.
My ranking from best to worse -> 9Pro, 11 Pro Max, Xperia 1ii, Pixel 4XL, 12 Pro Max, Note 20 Ultra (exynos).
9 Pro it's not laggy at all by the way. It's the most fluid/smooth phone i've used. Screen is fantastic and by far the best i've used.
Performance is superb. Camera (got major updat) is brilliant. Battery (A11) is great.
Fast Charging 30 Min ...
All the crying about Oxygen vs Color OS... Don't know, kind of childish. With OxygenOS 12 (Color OS with Oxy Skin) you won't feel a difference. It does not matter. It's still a very clean near stock experience.
If you wabt to switch, just try it, i can highly recommend the 9 Pro

Thanks, abd at least if I don't like stock I can try a vanilla google custom rom
Do you think the passage from 6.8" to 6.7" will be obvious or it's pretty much the same size?
Nah TINY bit smaller, 0,1" is nothing... you know what they say about size
Well, i say is not really ultra. Because is Exynos...
My 9 pro works very well. ColorOs 12 stable C.39 is very good. Except some notification i don't have problems.
Oxygen is full of Google BS. That it makes it Bad.
I use bluetooth = smart watch & music 8 h/day at work. For me. battery is very good.
I never have lag or any other screen problems.
xPan mode color/black & white is gorgeous for photos.
You don't feel that 0,1" difference. 100%.
But why don't you wait a little & buy 10 pro?

10 pro is deceiving, at least for me, same telephoto camera while I hoped for a 5x or 10x, super wide camera is worse than 9 pro, same exact screen in terms of size and brightness...
And the price of new OP flagships here in my country is always overpriced, the 9 Pro 12/256 started at 1150$ now it's at 770$!!
I can sell my 10 months old s21u for 770$ today and pay 0$ for a brand new 9 Pro. When the 10 Pro will be out, the s22u would have been out for 2 months so I couldn't sell the s21u more than 600$
As for the 9 Pro I guess it won't drop too much anymore here, perhaps max 50$
That's the question.. is the 10 pro worth it. Same camera mainsensor, worse ultrawide sensor 1/2.56 (guess it was) on the 10 Pro and 1/1.5x on 9 Pro is a huge size difference. Only thing will be (cam) software.
And better CPU/GPU chip.
If you get the 9Pro with a discount...

I hear you as I feel the same about my S21+ exynos except that I plan to switch to Xiaomi 12 because Oneplus is faaar away from the spirit which made its success years ago. It was nearly half the price of the best flagship and with better performance, development was very active with high interactivity with the growing users community, big big choice of custom roms and kernels, ...etc
Lately Oneplus seemed lagging behind in all these aspects and becoming exactly what they were laughing at (they said Never Settle ) and now they are getting Oppofied, uh no thank you.
So what's left for me to get away from samsung and their latest try to punish me for rooting the phone I bought with my money by disabling shealth, blocking connection with my gw4, ...etc plus some other annoyances which persist since day 1? Xiaomi 12 seems to me the best option. I made my mind and I just wait for it to go global in the coming weeks.
