Hello there
I'm currently in the search for a new smartphone and i have narrowed my search down to the Mate 7 and the Note 4. I currently own the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact which i a fine phone, but it's just way too small for my preferences.
I have previously owned a couple of Samsung phones, the latest a Galaxy Note 2 which i loved but i grew a little tired of their Touchwiz interface. The Emui interface seems fresher and i really like what i've seen in reviews so far, but i have my doubts about how "well rounded" and worked through it is compared to the Note 4's Touchwiz.
I don't play a lot of demanding games
I browse a lot
I use the camera quite often but i'm not an enthusiast
What phone would you recommend/buy?
I'm going to buy the phone on a 2 year contract and the difference in price isn't a problem.
I sold my Note 4 and bought the HAM7 and have no regrets. I have had all the top Samsung since the original Galaxy S and some Xperias along the way but this one has suprised me the most. Well built, best batterytime I have ever experienced, great screen and a surprisingly good camera. I had lags in TW on my Note4 and some freezing where I had to remove the battery to get it going again and that should not occure on a flagship at that price. The Huawei was a lot cheaper and performs on pair with the Note4 without the lagging and so. I also prefer Huaweis UI over TW, it is cleaner and love how you can change themes. And the fingerscanner is superb. I have also been thinking of getting the P7 just to try it out. All in all I am happy I got this one :thumbup:

at price point, ham7 is a better deal than sgn4, especially for us who are so tired of lagwiz.
@rikken - Cool, thanks for the answer The battery performance and fingerprint scanner is a major plus. I also like that they have "kept" the screen resolution at full hd
Just ordered the phone! Thanks for your input :good:
There's been a few threads on this question, but none are current unfortunately. I've had a Z1 compact for a while but I'm looking to try something bigger now. I'm debating between a note 3, the oneplus one, and the lg g2. Battery life and a good camera is most important to me, but good aosp support would be great too. Wondering if ya'll think the note 3 is a good choice moving forward now or would you recommend something else? Thanks everyone.
OPO is a beast with 5-6hrs screen time. But heard about Touchscreen issues from experiences of 2 of my friends.
Note 3 is great too. I prefer Brand over Specs (so No Way I'll suggest the OPO)
LG G3 (no idea about 2) has a better Camera :3

SoT is minimum 6 for me and up to 8 hours with cm12.1 temasek. Stock roms are crap for me. It is like a new phone with cm12.1.
My note image quality is very bad inside or low light conditions. Nothing top compared to my z2 or note 4.
Hy guys, I have an iPhone 5S and I want to return to Android. I can trade my 5S with an Galaxy S5 or Galaxy Note 3. I know hardware of both devices, but which is the best for performance, gaming, battery life? I want to mod the phone when i pick up it, so I want to install on S5 or Note 3 a rom that can port UI and apps of S7/Note4-5 on the device. So, help me.
Galaxy S5 pro: better display, better camera, IP67 certificate, fingerprint, S-health with cardio, Snapdragon 801 > Snapdragon 800
Galaxy Note 3: S-Pen, display 5.7inch (I love big display), better sound, better multitasking (3GB ram), and A LOT OF ROM, there are very fantastic porting of galaxy s7, note 5 and more..
So, Galaxy S5 or Note 3?
You asked in note3 forum. So we will say note 3.
If you ask in S5 forum they will say S5.
If you plan to use the phone in water, take S5.
Else with bigger screen, ram, internal storage(32gb) note 3 is much better.
S5 is a mistake from samsung. When it was launched, it cost the same as note 3 eventhough note 3 was launched 6 months earlier. Why on earth people want to buy 5.1 inch screen, 2gb ram and 16gb rom when they can have better phone with the same price. I don't know anyone using S5. But i have many friends bought a note 3 even after S5 was launched. That's my personal opinion.

S5+N3 = 8 divide by two = Note 4 .

Add few more bucks and buy a note 4, you will have the features of both s5 and note 3.
There is a certain lag when you open some apps.
I don't game much but I can tell when it lags. Not like windows 2000 lag.
But if you like to draw and stuff, this device is still good.
The lag is mainly because nowadays an app that used be around 5 to 10 MB is now 30 - 70 MB.
Their app is getting obese. Cheers. Hope it helps.

I have both phones, S5 Snapdragon 801 and the Note 3 Exynos
I have to say if only I have the Snapdragon Note 3 ver, I won't be thinking of getting the S5 (smaller screen, smaller ram)
since note 3 SD capabilities was on par (or so I thought) with the S5 SD in terms of everything but camera (the S5 has a really nice camera and has a good low light capabilites)
If you like bigger screen with bigger ram, and using the SPen, go for Note 3, its performance was not so different than the S5
But S5 has a nice features that Note 3 doesn't, weird Fingerscanner, IP67, Heartrate sensor, and a better 16mp camera.

I don't understand the word POCO
But the lag is not that major.
The hardware is getting dated on Note3 by today's standards but as long as someone in the XDA community is supporting this device you can buy it.
There will always be some new roms
The lag is not that imposing at this time.
I would never exchange my Note 3 to a S5.
But I have one tip. Choose the black color for both. It's more beautiful.
I bought a Note 3 black 32gb N9005 (hlte). It's fantastic!

DarkLord Note 5 RC 2.1
I used it for a long time. It missed a few to be perfect. But @dakera13 just stop its development. Just use it with CiVZ kernel (I liked the version 1.0.8) or some Idle kernel in order to have a best performance for playing games. I do like darkera's work because he keep the ROM simple and near to an original Samsung ROM.
DarkLord S7 Edge Ported
Beside AryaMod S7 Edge Ported, that should be the future because is assigned by @darkera13 and also because it is a Marshmallow ROM based. I just don't installed this ROM because the current version needs to flash some correction files and I just had some laziness of to do it.
AryaMod v8.3
It should be the second ROM that I used more. This ROM should have the best battery life. A think everything should works well in this ROM. But unfortunately this ROM is based on Lollipop of the Note 3 and it don't have some Samsung modern things like Theme Store etc.
AryaMod S7 Edge Ported
My current ROM. This ROM is assigned by @Kamy, so I'm also thrusting in its work. The current version is stable and beautiful, with some mods, but not too much, and this is good.
Phronesis
I think its developers was ones of the first that continues the work in DarkLord Note 5 RC 2.1 when @darkera13 stopped it, and they also kept that work correcting some issues and including good things like Scroll Capture etc. But they added some custom things like an own "official" wallpaper with its own name. And they added to much possible mods that I honestly don't need and they did more another things like include S7 wallpapers instead of Note 5 wallpapers in a Note 5 ROM based. Well, for me they went away from a Samsung stock ROM, and I personally don't like it too much. But it is a functional ROM with some improvements, maybe the most developed Lollipop Note 5 ROM based, and if you don't care about those "buts" and maybe if you like that, the ROM would be good for you.

You just will need some third camera app like Open Camera or Camera ZOOM FX because the stock camera included doesn't work fully due to the hardware limitation. But to take photos in front and rear cameras and to record videos in rear camera is ok.
If you run it on AOSP it's pretty slick. I downgraded from an Exynos Note 4 to a Note 3, and in everyday use with AOSP I don't feel like I'm worse of in terms of performance.
My biggest reasons to leave Samsung is because of the updates and features that doesn't come to older devices like features of the s7 to the s6. I'm really really sick of samsungs updates always late.
I just want to know what phone you gonna buy next time and why?
1.) OnePlus 5
2.) Nokia 8
3.) LG G6
4.) Samsung Galaxy s8
5.) Pixel 2
6.) Huawei p10
7.) Sony Xperia XZ Premium
the S8 is the #1 phone in my mind, hope they do something new, the pixel is ugly, the V20 is an LG...which i hate...and their UI is the worst, the iphone is......no need to say.....so the S8 might be the only phone for me....
I'm actually switching to the iPhone 7[emoji1] . Definitely away from Samsung!
No idea really. Want to go back to stock so won't be a Samsung. The OP3 is too big, 5.1 is ideal. Pixel is too expensive. There's nothing, atm.
xiaomi for me. maybe the successor to the mi5/mi5s. preferrably one with strong aosp support so I can test out miui and aosp roms
OP3. AOSP is a must, and this time I want to buy atleast 5.5" screen. OP3 has better design, battery, performance, and software.
Probably S8 or Note 8. I really like new Grace UX and the design of their hardware.
Most likely S8 but will see what is available when I can extend my phone contract again.
Haven't really had a reason yet to leave the Galaxy S line (S2, S4, S6). But if I switch it most likely will be because of the support for custom roms.
I'm thinking 1+3 but not really sure. Something with a high XDA forum threads count and stable AOSP roms.
note8

I will go for note 8 if they releas..
Before my s6e I had a HTC m7 with AOSP and that was really good, now with my s6e I just think that much power (cpu power) is a little useless (at least for me). I'm looking for a better battery phone and not that expensive like s7e or note series. So probably getting a xiaomi redmi 4 prime.

Might go for S7 Edge after the release of S8 haha. Thought of Redmi 4 prime too, but camera department on Xiaomi is sad Was thinking of Mi Note 2, but for 50€ more, I can get S7 Edge ...
I really love my S6 but the battery is really bad for me and I'm always struggling getting through the day. So, I'm intensively checking my options, escpecially all those new Chinese phones like ZUK Z2 Pro, LeEco Le Pro 3 which provide quite some bang for the buck. But all those phones have one or more disadvantages like bad camera, no IR blaster (I actually use that a lot) that I can't accpet.
I spent less than 400€ getting my S6 new about 14 months ago and I don't want to spend more on the next phone I get. I think currently the Oneplus 3 is probably the best option considering the good XDA support and ok camera. But it is still not nice enough for me to spend the 399€ that it would cost (no used phones around here in Germany).
So, I think I have to live with my S6 a little longer. Currently searching the best ROM and kernel to get at least the best out of the battery that is possible.
Most likely something what is NOT from Samsung but I'll see...
I'm quite open to different brands since anyone can create a great device.
For now I'm thinking about either Pixel or even an iPhone (I can barely believe I said it )
if ever i leave my s6 and samsung,i want to own iphone again,maybe 6s plus or 7 if only have money,in most situation i always found that iphone has lesser factory defect than samsung,and the updates is awesome,very fluid and optimized o.s ,downside is very expensive,cant afford ?
Google Pixel 2 maybe !

Now..... Let's See What The Moto G6 Plus Will Bring To The Party.
I agree I've been a Xiaomi fan for a while but swapped to a 7x a month or so ago.
Glad I did, it's more stylish smaller slimmer and lighter than the 5 pro & I got a 64gb for the same price.

Good Deal Sir...
You will not get the same Developer Support you had with the Xiaomi.. but I feel this is the 1st phone I've owned that does not required Root Access..
I personally don't see any apps that I would use that I'm not using right now without root.. Now A Days, with No Root Adaway, Themes with Customized Theme Managers, Extreme Battery Saving options, Screen Tempeture adjustments, DPI adjustments, Floating Docs etc.. nothing else is needed.
It's a new day.. times have changed.. Customization as well as Personalization can be had right out of the box.
Enjoy Your 7X Man... You scored a great deal.
I've rooted mine. But I agree I always had to put cyanogen or lineage to replace MIUI but with this EMUI its nice and with root it fills in a few gaps that a full Lineage would provide.
If OpenKirin team release AOSP or lineage I probably won't replace EMUI

Hey Kiran.. Hate To See You Go...
But.. I understand why you are making the switch to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.
YES.. in time..( you'll still need Kernel Source or a port of Project Treble ) Developer Support will outstrip the 7x 5 to 1...
There Really Is NO Guarantee The 7x Will Get Anymore Than Base Support.
It's funny how everyone just assumes...
People rooting their devices left and right... throwig their warranty out the window and don't even have a stock image to flash should they need it.. or like you are ready to move on from it.. and need to return it to stock.
At first, I thought root and rom for the 7x was still the way to go..
But this is 2018.. And if a person does their research, they'll see there is NOTHING one can't now do / have with the stock setup that a Custom ROM can do.. Especially when it comes to the 7x.. Outside of just being different to be different.. ( And YES That Is What XDA Is All About )
I wish you all the best with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro.. That Snapdragon 636 is GUARANTEED to get LOTS of attention.
For Me *100% Stability & Functionality* are the PARAMOUNT requirment at this stage of the game.
I did not pay hard earned dollars to see Exclamation Screens & "Android has stopped unexpectedly" Screens along with hearing there's a fix coming for this and a fix coming for that...
No Thanks.
Only stock ROM's (even debloated.. don't really care for Deodexed.. slows things down just a wee bit..) are the way to go for the forseeable future IMO..
Again especially with the 7x.. it's just feature rich right out of the box..along with so many mods now that don't even require root.
It's been weeks now since the 1st B192 (Face Unlock / AR) update was released.. and only 20% of the planet has gotten it.. at this pace.. full rollout of B192 and EMUI / OREO 8.0 won't be completed until Mid / Late Summer.
Anywho..
Goodbye & Goodluck with your Xiaomi Mr. K !
One Final Question..

Hey Kiran.. 1 Question Sir,
Did you root? if so, are you going to sell it as a "Rooted Device" ?
And... If you did root.. don't you have to go through some proceedure with Honor to get a code to unlock the bootloader? so now there is no warranty.. and it's been Permenantly registered with Honor as a unsecured device?
Just wondered if facing these possible conditions, will it cause you to lower your selling price if selling publicly.
Thanks if don't mind sharing.. Feel Free To P. M. Me If you Like...
