Got my Note 8 about 4 days ago, 2 days ago i took it into the AT&T store to get a case and glass screen protector,
while she was putting the screen protector on she laid the phone on the plastic table by the time she was done had micro scratches on the very bottom and one across from edge. was pissed but nothing really i could do.
P.S. She didn't even get the screen protector on correctly. so be careful
The black frame on the Honor 8 felt much nicer compared to the note 8. It feels plasticy

What does that have to do with the device aesthetics? Besides the scratches you described, do you like the look and design of the phone? Yes or no?
I love the curved design and how nicely it sits in the hand. Bear in mind, I'm coming from a Note 3 which I've been using for 4 years. The materials used, especially the glass back, make this feel every bit the premium phone I was expecting.
My GF is not a fan of big phones but even she was surprised at how comfortable it was in the hand. It's actually slimmer in width than my Note 3 and the curved back is much nicer to hold than the plastic back on the Note 3.
Note 8 still has huge bezels and very inconvenient ugly curved display !!

huh? Note 8 doesn't have deep curves like S8/+
Loved my Sony Xperia, both for its hardware, but also aesthetically.
I like square, flat phones. The Xperia had that for me.
I also love the build quality of Apple's phone line, and found their design change starting with the 6 to feel very nice in the hand when I checked them out.
When it came time for a new phone, the S8+ combined the two designs (Xperia and Apple later models) into what I originally felt to be the perfect feel and look. But I started to grow tired of the super- curved edges (I'm new to Sammy)... screen that can't be used, or covered very well with a glass protector (a must for my dirty hands). Soon after, I started realizing that i really wasn't digging the rounded corners that much, either!
It took me two months, but I started really regretting buying the damned thing! LOL!
So I got the Note 8, with a few more features, and slightly less curved edges and more squared corners, and it's just an as absolutely perfect fit for me.
Not ONE single gripe about it. This is a down right beautiful phone IMO.

I've has my Note 8 for a week and a bit. I think it feels pretty good naked and with my Spigen Tough Armor case. The device feels good in the hand.

Coming from the s1 which has a little ridge on the edge I truly like the tactical sensation of the curvature of the glass when swiping pages.
I held my s1 today to charge it - as it is currently used as an alarm clock - and it felt strangely small.
I guess the s3 is starting to become the norm for me, anything slower is obsolete.
My 2c
Ive come from the S1 as well and after a couple of weeks usung the S3, the S1 feels small and so slow . Galaxy S3 is the best phone in the world right now.

I think the curved screen (convex) is one of the best things about the phone. It makes it so nice to hold and use.
i love the curved screen but its pretty hard to put on screen protectors perfectly ):

I've had all 3 Galaxy phones without any screen protection and never had a scratch on any, however there's an element of good fortune and common sense in this, basically if you're careless enough and in the wrong circumstances you'll get scratches regardless of what gorilla glass variant you have.
Bottom line is that screens are scratch resistant, not scratch proof, but having said that I also love the curved edges
Had the S1 (still have it), then the S2 (sold when I got the S3), and must say the S3 is the most beautiful of all. The curved glass makes it look very modern.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
My s1 is full of scratches after two years of abuse. Most if not all of them disappear when the screen turns on.
The back of the s3 I gave a nano coating and it is now smooth beyond comprehension. I have not dared to do the front, afraid to damage the original glass coating.

It's a good looking phone, nice and hefty, beautiful fit and finish. From the back it's gorgeous. Unfortunately the front is ruined by one of the worst factory fitted screen protectors I've ever come across. After 5 minutes of use it's so covered in smears you can barely see the screen properly. Haven't made a final decision on whether or not I'm keeping it yet but if I do the screen protector is definitely coming off.
It really is such a Gorgeous Device, especially the Twilight model, which i believe to be the nicest of the 3 options in colour, and its tied between Black and Midnight blue, they both look great, but nowhere near as good as Twilight imo.
The Notch is not distracting in all honesty, this is probably helped because it is quite a small notch and slim as well. its like the Moto360 Gen 1's Bottom Bar, it just kinda dissapeared after a while and only appears if you are consciously looking for it on the device.
Though the Preinstalled Screen Protecter is nice, it is more of a fingerprint magnet than the back is tbh.

Yeah the original screen protector is complete garbage. I bought an EasyUlt one because it has a better fitment and a black outline wich makes it look alot better. Its tempered glass so its much better than the stock one for the fingerprints.
The best looking device, on par with the red iPhone, the red One Plus 6 and perhaps the Essential phone. In fact, it is more unique than all of them, in twilight. Perfect size too. A little smaller would have been even better. But the aspect ratio allows for a narrower grip than other devices with the same diagonal display size or smaller. Very premium look with the glossy back and the metal trim all round the phone.
The P20 Pro is indefinably a good looking phone. I have the white version and it looks really nice.

Without the case you get in the package it always feels a little slippery. Compared to the oneplus one I owned before it feels very heavy
The weight is a serious issue for me, it feels like a brick in the hand
Not sure why all the complaints about weight. I notice it a bit but it is a welcomed change to me. The weight to me resembles quality. In an age where I feel that my oneplus 5t was almost too thin, I really love how the MI Mix 2s feels in hand. Hard to say it feels like a brick because it weights 191 grams (6.74 oz) most bricks weight 3 pounds or more. The oneplus 5t was 164 ish grams. 30 grams isnt that big of a difference....
Ceramic is a lot stronger than other materials as well (yes its very brittle I know that), and I love how it looks. Plus it has wireless charging!
Nonetheless, the design, weight, and screen, make this the absolute best feeling device in hand. IN MY OPINION.
To each his own, weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy and ceramic is a less than ideal material for a phone.
For me the weight is a serious issue even when it does not look that much in numbers, you feel it while holding it longer, especially while watching videos.

"weight being an indication of quality is a fallacy" Soooo you're telling me that a plastic phone that is 100 grams is just as durable as a metal framed phone with glass on one side and ceramic on the other.
Sorry but you are wrong. My nexus 6p was metal and I watched many people fold theirs in half. Weight does not equal quality. But they go hand in hand....
Yes a polymere can actually be a great material because it can be light strong and flexibel, great for a phone especially when you drop it, brittle things like caramic and Glas break.
It's only because or the irrational 'premium' feel manufacturers started using these other materials

:good: Have fun with your polymer flip phones then dude. Its 2018. If you were to stuff a polymer phone in your pocket with a bunch of keys and coins it would be scratched to hell in no time. I own a polymer handgun and would never want my phone to be made out of it. Metal is harder than plastic dude. Metal would scratch plastic. Ceramic is extremely scratch resistant and it allows for wireless charge, unlike aluminum.
If you dont like ceramic and glass go back to your Nokia grandpa.

Dude keep calm, we are all friends here, no reason to be offensive
Actually 30g from 160g is a huge difference. That's one fifth (20%) so it is a lot. I agree with you that the ceramic back definitely makes it feel high quality but it will scratch and break too. The plastic back of the 1+1 was very very resistant, I dropped this phone countless times on concrete and it only had a few scratches. I would also prefer, in some cases, a good plastic to a ceramic or glass back(don't like glass at all) but it would destroy the premium look of the 2s completely.
Exactly, I had the opo too and it was nearly indestructible, great materials
I'm going to post this coming from a V20. In hand this phone feels weighty more so than the V20 even tho the difference is about 10g. While slippery naked, the provided case gives it a nice soft gripiness. The sides are gently curved and feel good in hand. I have long fingers so I can say the screen size is good for me but I can see the less endowed having issues. I'm happy with the feel overall.
This phone is sexy as hell. Love the look and feel. The weight is a non issue for me. Coming from my pixel 2xl the weight doesn't bother me. I'd be interested in a skin if and when that comes out.

Great feel but slippery. Really good build quality and yeah it is heavier than most other devices which is great imo.
Coming from MI5, yes, It feels heavier.
Enviado desde mi Mi MIX 2S mediante Tapatalk
To me it does feel heavier than the other phones I've been using, but that's mainly because I've never used a phone with a screen size above 5"
After a few month the weight doesn't affect your usage of the phone and it is barely noticable.
It feels nice in hand for me with a "medium sized" hand (or what else you would call a normal hand
I just think it's way to slippery and couldn't see myself use it without a cover - and not the included one as that's even more slippery! Have no problems with the weight..

Very comfortable in hand, hardware buttons are well placed, for the finger print scanner, some may have had that concern due to proximity to the camera lens but that fear may not be true as the scanner is recessed a bit and easy to locate.
Included Case
The case I got is very poor quality and can be easily removed not perfect fit. Does anyone have same issue. It's very loose fit feels phone ccan fall from this if you don't hold it tight.

This included case is for temporary use until you buy one. At this budget don't expect for the quality, just enjoy the performance of the device :silly:
The in hand feel is great. I have owned Mi4i before, and honestly, i have no issues with the polycarbonate back, it does wonders for gripping, and compensates the weight for that huge battery underneath. My only two grievances with the device are it's weight ( coming from a MI5 here, that was 129 grams), it kinda hurts my hand when using for longer periods of time. And the second is that palm rejection is poor, besides that, its awesome for the price, the buttons feel clicky, and the device stays cool

In hand feel is just like any other phone out there. You won't feel the unpremiumness that much at all.
But yes the device a bit on the heavier side.
PS: get the screen protector.
Been using the phone for 72 hours now. In the beginning the in-hand feel was quite difficult since i am jumping from a 5.5in and felt heavy too. But now have gotten used to it. The stock case feels and fits quite bad, going for a new one asap.
Can I ask a question that some of you may feel very basic!

Why should the screen protector be used and by "screen protector" do you mean tempered glass?
If yes,
If it is to prevent scratches, doesn't gorilla glass 3 take care of that?
My nexus 5 had gorilla glass 3. I had used a tempered glass for some days but felt the touch feel inferior and hence removed the tempered glass and didn't have any scratches until the phone died after 2 years because I messed up the battery circuit.
If you mean back cover then I can understand, I had used pu back cover with nexus 5 and it survived 2 falls with that. Poco f1 on the other hand might need a strong body armor, I'm not confident about the glass as it's a taller display and edge to edge 2.5d glass.
Having said that, if the edges of back cover protrude up around the scren and wrap it, so as to protect the screen (as in case of my nexus 5),when placed face down, will the full screen gesture control still work on Poco f1?!

I drop my phone a lot. Me not that much but sometimes my sister or her children get hold of the phone and you can imagine the rest. I have owned 4 phones all broken in the first few months. So any kind of protection is most welcome here. And no I'm not worried about scratches, that'd be silly.
I don't know if the protrusion would be that far up so as to interfere with touch.
Any suggestions how to protect the 2.5d curved edged screen from drops?

Hi, Is the rear of Poco as soft and grippy as the Mi4i? I believe it will be same for all the colored backs, Blue black..

Yes, its matt finish, just like the Mi4i. Its not exactly soft, the phone definately slips, but its better than metal and glass. You can use it without a cover, but I reckon the back will pick up scratches, i went for a camouflage skin for the back, makes it grippy and still keeps the phone just as thin( i mean 8.8 mm isn't exactly thin, but with a cover this phone would be hard to hold).

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
What kind of gorilla glass it uses on the front and back ?
the oleophobic coating on p30 pro seems to be much batter than on Samsung phones, a LOT less smudges and fingerprints, but then it will depend on how long the coat will last, as it seems Samsung went with a solution that is less effective but lasts a long time, while other phones seem to "run out" after 2-3 months and the coating is worn off.
Overall quality feel is about the same for p30p and my s9+ and note9, I only had s10 in my hands for couple of minutes to compare the latest. Screen curvature is better on on p30p in regard of eye comfort, Samsung narrowed the edges in S9/N9/S10 too much and it getsin the way often, when reading or typing on larger sized gboard keyboard I don't really notice the screen is curved on p30p, but on the other hand samsung has much better handle on the random unwanted touches on the edges when you hold the phone. But that is software related..
I like buttons on Samsung phones better, they are smoother and easier to tuch, too firm on my huawei, and kinda clicky/loud, some people like that, I don't.
Display on huawei has light discoloration on the edges, noticeable only in bright/white colors, but it is still better than not being able to read first and last words on full screen text article when on Samsung.
What is kinda weird for me is that knocking on the display side by side note9 - p30p, the huawei sounds kinda hollow, like the cheap ipad 2017/2018 or old ipad models without laminated screens, yet when I compare the displays up close the display on huawei seems to be even "closer" to you than samsung, thinner glass probably. I think huawei is not using gorilla glass 6 as samsung does on s10, otherwise they would have advertise it as such. 3 of my friends have mate 20/pro, they all complain about horrible micro-scratches on display, but when I inspected it it was the same as on my note 9 - seems to be scrathes on the oleophobic coating only, as with a good clean the display does not show any scratches even on direct sunlight.
Generally, the recent p/mate phones feel as good as any other premium flagship phone. And their selection of back panel colors is the best at the moment, although I was only able to pick the black - breathing crystal was available for 256gb model but I don't need that much storage and wear cases/skins anyway, but if I had my hands on one of the gradient colors, I would probably just wear transparent case on it, it really looks great.
Feels solid and what you'd expect from a premium flagship.
But my God is this device slippery. It was hard to hold as I was scared of it slipping from my hands. And one time the phone just slipped right out of my pocket onto a hard floor. Took it like a champion and didn't have a mark on it.
I'd advise getting a case simply because it's easier to hold

Don't use a wet wipe to clean your phone and the coating will last you much longer. I used the P20 Pro for almost 7 months, and the coating didn't wore off one bit. Keep anything that has alcohol in it as far as you can from your phone.

Screen is super sensitive. Not a single drop not a single mishap and i got a scratch on the screen the size of a fingernail. Quite disappointed on that since i was expecting my screen protector toarrive from day to day to avoid that and the phone is 2 weeks old. Ill probably use the vip service if its covered to change screen
I plan to use jet seal on top of the coating. That prevents scratches and further fingerprinting. I want to keep that breathing crystal beautiful for ages
