What phone to get after being hooked on Honor 8

[Aljean Thein]

For sure! I *really* wanted the U11; but the $900-outright price tag made my wallet and credit card stage a protest.

Oh it's $900 really ? With HTC current situation, they're not in the same playing field to be selling a $900 phone.

In Canada, it retails for $899! But the website is now taking $75 off the price of the phone and are throwing in a headphone deal of some kind. A cool deal, for sure, but still can't justify spending that much outright on a phone.

Looks like the Sony XA Ultra is being dumped.
It's down to $179.99 currently.

I saw that. I think it's $50 off plus a free $200 jbl headphones here

How much did you get yours ? Is it running Android 7.0?

 

[Guytronic]

It is on Nougat 7.1...updated several times since I bought it.

I paid the secret bargain price of $249.99 from Amazon :/

How is Sony with updates?

I am not sure. Never had one.

Mate 9 destroys the Helio by a planet away

Yeah i didn't realize that the p10 chip was a mid ranger

 

[dpham00]

I'm not too familiar either. I just got into Helio 25 and 30 though. Very good mid rangers soc

That's good to hear. I am sure they are great chips for their class

Oh 900 is way too much... I wouldn't pay that much for even the note 8.

Htc loves to keep their prices high.

Oh that's still not worth it. Way too much

That's a pretty decent price for that phone. But 16gb internal is smlal

Meh. Not worth it at all

Nice secret bargain price. Haha.

Ah that's a huge cut from $250.

I would of probably grabbed one before if they didn't disabled the fps. I know you can bypass that and enable it

 

[Aljean Thein]

Not sure how much they're selling the phones for with their soc. But I wouldn't mind using them for the right price

 

[Aljean Thein]

They do. Over priced a lot of their products

For sure. And the glass back kind of frightens me. I mean, my Honor 8 has a glass back and I love it; but I want my next phone to be free of glass backs and such. I'm clumsy enough as it is!
