Oneplus 2 (chinese variant) vs LG G4(H818) - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Im looking to buy a new phone but im worried which to choose lg g4 h818 (no bootloader) or the oneplus 2 (chinese variant) btw i live in KSA.

Lg g4 pros:
Curved QHD screen
Removable battery
Leather back
Awesome camera
Cons:
No bootloader unlock
No fingerprint
3gb ram rather than 4 gb
Oneplus 2
Pros:
4gb ram
Fingerprint sensor
Loads of roms
Cons:
Chinese version
Full hd screen rather than qhd
Has been rumored of heating issues
Pls help me out

Well you seem to know both pro's and con's of both these devices... Now it's entirely up to you to decide which one will suit you better

I was between the same devices.
I choose the op2 because of this:
-Full HD screen : more battery and less GPU demanding
-SoC: 810 vs 808. That means ram lpddr3 vs lpddr4, adreno 418 (qHD) vs adreno 430 (FHD).
About heating, because of the rumors oneplus throttle the devices too fast, if you edited the thermal file with boeffla kernel you could have awesome performance, for more info about throttle pm me.
-Fingerprint.
-XDA community, not too much for no but it will grow up. Oneplus is contacting devs from XDA, that must be a good thing [emoji4] .
-Capacitive buttons, so it does not take space from the screen
-Alert slider is useful, but lg g4 volume buttons are very nice too.
-4gb vs 3gb, its not a real life difference but maybe it will be.
EDIT:- Better battery life. 3300mah vs 3000mah, also fhd vs qhd must make a difference.
About nfc, for almost 2 years i never use it on my nexus 5, so its not a problem for me.
Happy new year! Hope you can make the best decision, cheers.

Best stock experience g4
If you're not afraid of tweaking then go for op2

I sent an LGG4 back and bought a Oneplus Two and although the LG was a nice enough phone battery life was abysmal and don't worry about Qhd v Fhd I actually preferred the Fhd and you get much better battery life

Nexus 6 or not

Well, as I currently have the nexus 4 I was expecting to be getting the nexus 6. However as the leaks suggest the fact that it would have 2K display and have 13mp camera that's all perfect. But it would have the snapdragon 805 which is around 2.7ghz quad core (which is just a speed bump from current flagships that have 801). The only thing it will have is a much powerful GPU which is adreno 420. But in January they will release the Snapdragon 810 which compared to 805 its a beast has a new processor architecture 20nm and would be OctoCore, 64 bit and the ram would be as twice as fast and so many more features. Because this would make the nexus 6 be outdated quickly. So thinking in that way would be a good option to get the nexus 6 or not ? What do you guys think?

First thing, there is always something better round the corner, so when this new chip comes out, there will be an even better one planned for 6 months time. Second, apart from the kick of having the best hardware, would you necessarily be using it?
I say that since the N4 doesn't have 4G (apart from the modem hacks which aren't valid for Europe, where I am). I don't miss it, since I don't have a need for ultra-fast data transmission on my phone.
If you really need/expect to use the possibilities that the hardware enables, if I were you, I would wait until a terminal is equipped with it. If it's not critical, I'd go for either the N6 or an equivalent hi-end Xiaomi or Oppo.

even if the hardware becomes outdated its still going to be strong enough for pretty much anything for couple of years but again If they put **** to mediocre battery life as usual then no thanks
Well it's the "perfect" useless 2K screen that's gonna eat up the battery. I hate QHD on 5-inchers.
You have good valid points but normally Qualcomm have updated their chips at a good rate and considering the fact on estimate around 4 months after the Nexus 6 release the chip would be a big difference in performance in every way and looking at their site. It will also have pretty cool featues

In my opinion it's impossible to talk about buying/not buying the Nexus 6 as long as we have no official specs and before it is released
We need more details about the Nexus 6. Storage availabilities (microSD? I hope, but doubt it), battery size (removable?), etc.

Yeah, I know...
It's been a while since Motorola made a phone with a removable battery, and it's been a while since we've seen a Nexus with one.
My next phone, as soon as I can afford one, will most likely be a Sony Z3 Compact (although I might pick up a second Nexus 4 first). I love using big screens, but I hate carrying one. Months ago I was hoping to pick up a Z1 Compact and a OnePlus One. But life happened, and I can't afford those anymore, and even if I could, the Z3 is out soon, and the OPO...well...'nuff said. I still like the idea of having a smaller phone for daily life, then swapping the SIM to a phablet for gaming at home or reading eBooks. The Nexus 6 or S or whatever they end up calling it might just fill that spot if the price isn't absurd, but that'll probably have to wait until tax season.

Thanks for the information
Looks good on paper. (Except the screen size)
Mainly the 2gigs of LPDDR3 and the ARMv8 MSM8939 looks promising. If anyone here gets the device, post some camera samples.
The phone looks decent in the video reviews for its price. But flagship killer is not the apt word, since it cannot compete with the flagships.
Idk what you really mean about low range flagships.... coz flagships are always high range
Remember, this is just a rebranded coolpad f2 4g clone, so i dont expect it to be good qualitywise. I am looking forward to reviews after long term use
Good think you guys have a official xda thread, expect new developers to pimp out this phone with cool new ROMS !!

Agreed. OP should really change the title to something like Is YU Yureka the new affordable King of midrange smartphones? or, if you really wanna go overboard Is YU Yureka the newest and most affordable Nexus for the masses?
The company really is called YU not Micromax (although started by Micromax founder) and, it is a midrange smartphone with a budget range price.
This is Micromax straight up copying device specs and marketing strategy from Google/Motorola (Moto G/E) and OPPO/OnePlus (One) and Xiaomi (Redmi Note) etc. If they execute properly, this could repeat the Moto G's success. They really should have gone with a 4.5"-4.7" screen (ok, maybe 5" max because India is their main market), bigger battery and, paid deep attention to getting the camera right.

At Rs.15k, it will be closer to the OnePlus One's price and that is a better smartphone. It will also have to fight with devices like the Xiaomi Redmi Note and the Moto G (which has good quality and support in it's favour but lesser specs). Also last year's Moto X was going for Rs.17k....
Nope. Much safer to jump below Rs.10k for now... :angel:

[Discussion] How does the OnePlus X compare to its main rivals?

By rivals, I mean devices (1) in the same size category (~5") and (2) in the same market class and/or spec range, such as:
Nexus 5X
HTC One A9
Motorola Moto G
Samsung Z3/J5/E5
What else?
In this thread, I'd like to avoid discussing larger phones (~5.5") or flagship devices that cost upwards of $400 (The HTC One A9 just squeaks in).
Speaking in broad strokes, given the specs and price it looks like the One X mops them all up in the spirit of the OnePlus One. The Motorola and the Samsungs are similarly priced but seriously lacking in specs. The Nexus 5X and HTC One A9 have equal or better specs, but cost quite a bit more. I'm trying to think of anything close to the value proposition of the X and I'm not coming up with much.
What say ye?
I think that Xiaomi Mi4C is pretty good competitor. Dimensions are almost the same. Mi4C has a bigger battery, a bit faster processor (SD808), usb type-C and IR blaster. However, OnePlus X has Amoled screen and sd-card slot (and 800Mhz LTE for EU users). I think that OnePlus X has also better OS and perharps longer update support.
Does it have to be a 2015 release? Expanding the base:
LG G2/Nexus 5: very similiar size + NFC + 32GB base but lacking sd expansion.
Xperia Z3 Compact: smaller screen + body with mostly similiar specs.
Galaxy S5 - ugly but is an otherwise functional phone at a good price

+1 I think former flagships are a great alternative, since most of them continue on to become great mid-range phones.
Unfortunately, the Nexus 5 isn't available new anymore, except for the occasional eBay auction.
The Xperia Z3 Compact clearly isn't a ~5" device.
LG G2/G3 can be considered as rivals too !
No LTE in USA!, fingerprint scanner, nfc, ois....what is oneplus thinking? With this trend of lacking necessary features and increasing prices, it's doubtful oneplus will ever be more than a small player.
i would say Mi 4C would be the main competitor, with SD808, Wifi AC, bigger battery, and IR Blaster in its favour
OPX has AMOLED, Metal build, and MicroSD in its favour though
i would say the bigger battery and Wifi AC will hurt the OPX more than the chipset difference, apparently SD808 and SD801 CPU performance is about the same, though Adreno 418 is about 20% better than 330, even though Adreno 330 is "enough" for 1080p screens (quotation bcz enough is very subjective)
I'm having a real struggle here :/

It's missing the LTE bands 12 and 17, which means it's a lousy phone for 4G networks in USA. At this point, it's still a better deal overall to just get the old OPO in the USA.

In my opinion, the Asus Zenfone 2 and its derivatives is definitely a rival. My understanding is that the Intel-based Asus Zenfone 2 has very good SoC performance, probably above the Snapdragon 801, but below average battery life, screen brightness, and camera software. The Snapdragon 615 based Asus Zenfone 2 Laser has average SoC performance, but better battery life and better camera (screen is the same). Considering that both Zenfones start at $200 and have proper LTE support, they're definitely in the game. Moto G falls approximately into the same performance bracket at Zenfone 2 laser (actually slower a bit), but has class leading battery performance.
Another possibility, why not consider some of the discontinued Snapdragon 800/801 based smartphones? Considering the Snapdragon 808/810 fiasco, I think those are well worth checking out. For example you can find on eBay NEW and unlocked LG G2 (SD 800, no sd card) for around $160, Nexus 5 (SD800, no SD) for $180-200, LG G3 (SD 801, sd card) for $230, or Samsung Galaxy S5 (SD801, sd card) for just under $300. All of these roughly fall into the same performance bracket at OnePlus One/X, but offer specific versions with the LTE Band 17 used by AT&T in USA that the OnePlus X lacks.
And finally, speaking of Nexus 5X, early reviews suggest it's not all that great or the kind of a diamond in rough that Nexus 5 or OnePlus One used to be, in part thanks the slow storage performance because of the new encryption scheme and once again thanks to the SD808. Considering the price of the base Nexus 5X, I think you could do better with buying a OnePlus 2, which has all the same specs but more memory and slightly faster SoC.
Anandtech has a very thorough review of 5X:

I can attest to the Zenfone 2 Laser's battery life. It has an insane capacity! One of my friends just bought the ZF2 Laser, and he constantly gets around 9-10 hrs SoT. And it's not even as if he keeps the screen on doing nothing, he puts it through light to moderate usage - playing light games, browsing, whatsapp, etc with wi-fi on the whole day, but the damn thing just keeps on going!
As far as the performance is concerned, the SD410 is doing a very satisfactory job. So far I've not seen any slowdowns/lags/stuttering whatsoever. So its going pretty smooth as of now.
What about the Huawei Honor 7? It has similar specs and also the price is almost the same (at least in Europe - 270 EUR vs. 300 EUR).
While we compare, what is the software update record of Asus, Huawei, Acer etc? I think Oneplus is going to support their devices for longer than any of those
Currently have a Nexus 5, not sure if it was right to "upgrade". Damn I am gonna miss wireless charging
it is not "upgrade". it is a "sidegrade"

Moto G3 to Moto X Style... Battery WTF !

Ok I just two days ago buy a brand new Moto X Style, my beloved MotoG3 who was root and run with Tesla rom + FireKernel who have a smaller and older battery is consumed so less battery ! It's just insane.
Moto X Style is heating battery like nothing.
I usually wait at least 2 month to be sure the phone I buy don't have trouble, but right now I just want to unlock it and install a real rom....
What do you think ?!

Thanks to the QuadHD 5.7" display and 64bit processor. Moto X style do have a mediocre battery. But the TurboPower charger makes up for it.
Apart from battery, am sure you gonna love this phone.
I have a Moto G3 was well, it is very efficient with battery life. You do have to think though, you are going from a Snapdragon 410 to an 808 with a larger, higher resolution display.
The 808 has 6 cores instead of 4 and a much more powerful GPU. The 808 is also the big.LITTLE configuration. So you have 4 low power A53 cores and 2 powerful (battery consuming) A57 cores. The difference in power between the two chipsets is immense.

I have used CM (then LineageOS), and AICP. They can offer some improvements in battery, but I am holding out for official Nougat. I don't find any of the custom ROMs to be as fluid and smooth as stock, so that is what I am using.

Ok thx
I went from a Moto G 2015 to a Moto X Pure (North American version of Style) and that is my only real complaint... the battery life easily cut in half or more. Although some of the reasons for it are listed in previous posts, one is missing, the SD808 SOC's radio is a battery hog especially when signal is not optimal, a mediocre connection will kill your battery especially if you actually make or receive calls, but if you have great signal then it sips battery very efficiently.
The main battery drainers are the 5.7 QHD Super LCD display (this display panel is incredibly inefficient, but beautiful), the SD808's radio, the SD808's architecture (2+4 big.LITTLE setup in this chipset is much less efficient than anticipated, probably why the configuration was dropped), and the poor battery size choice (it should have been 20-33% larger) makes this device seem like a terrible "upgrade" to the Moto G, battery-wise at least, and in that regard it is correct.
But the very things that draw battery are it's strengths... the display is gorgeous, it can be seen clearly in full daylight and is incredibly vibrant and sharp, and side-by-side to the Moto G 2015 it makes it's little brother's display look like an old 20" tube TV vs a 55" 4k UltraHD display. The SOC may not be very battery friendly, but it is much more powerful and it's reception is excellent, even with poor signal it will hold service well, at the cost of battery life (note that Moto did NOT implement Jio VoLTE in this device, and will not, a significant letdown since it is working on similar Moto devices of that generation), and the QuickCharge 2.0 will refill the battery very quickly, around 75-90% in an hour if necessary.
It's kind of like comparing a Chevy Cruze to a Corvette, one is simple, reliable, and very fuel friendly, the other is a performance machine which sucks gas like nobodies business... but they are for different purposes entirely.
As far as custom ROMs go, I have not found one that gives better than near equal to stock... After trying a dozen or so ROMs and kernels, I went back to pure, unrooted, stock and haven't looked back in a few months. It isn't ideal, but until I can get a better all around device it will have to do.
It's been 3 days now I test SlimRom 6.0.1 Build 2 Stable version, the official release on SlimRom.org, not the beta one from a developer in XDA.
And I would say for now it's been pretty good, and better than original ROM.
More battery friendly.

Should i switch from note 5 to lg g6?

I am an owner of note 5 64gb. I overall satisfied by the phone. Amazing screen. Spen. Lots of space. The cons is. Since the begging i came across with mobile network connectivity issues. Not all the tíme but from time to time. And i miss calls. Also after install nougat i see total battery drain especially with mobile data on. In a possible search of a new phone and to my budget limits is lg g6. 2017 flagship phone. Awsome screen. Amazing camera(s). Good handling. Should i swap my note 5 with the lg? My only concern is the screen. I am a user of Samsung super amoled screen the past 8 years so I don't know how the lcd would be.
Any help? Anyone who owned an Samsung amoled phone that jumped to lg g6. Is there any noticeable difference in the eye?
Yes, U should ! Got note 3, note 4, s6, s7, now g6 and camera is just far better, battery life is same as s7, display qualty is good to, no big diff iin eye
Is there a solution for handwriting like spen on other phones? Or even a good app? Note 4 was awsome (i had owned), note 5 cpu exynos is a beast! How 821 responds? (4 corea right?)
I don't know, really. Never used SPEN even when I had it
Yes, but just with 64 gb + quad dac/wireless charging model

SD821 is far superior to your Exynos 7420. Don't worry about the amount of cores because our Kryo CPU is a lot faster than your A57 cores.
About GPU don't worry too. Our Adreno 530 is twice as fast as your Mali-T760MP8

It's the 32gb model i want to buy. LG G6 H870 32GB
I am a little bit confused. Does lg g6 h870 32gb support dlna and wireless charging? What's the difference at quad dac as you mentioned.

I don't know much technical stuff man! But the note 5 for a 2015 phone is still a beast and even always on power saving.
