What phone to get after being hooked on Honor 8

[Aljean Thein]

Nope...
The screens really close in size.

This XA was purchased to replace my Lenovo Phab2 which I grew tired of.

Ah nice. Hows the XA Ultra running ? It has P10 Helio soc.

It's good... Not nearly as phast as the Mate 9.

 

[Aljean Thein]

I wouldn't doubt that lol. thanks for the info

Mmmm...
No excellent reasons other than pricing, screen size and I'm a closet Sony fan.

I too am a Sony fan... I've always wanted one of their phones. And an HTC phone. But something always happens that makes a phone from that manufacturer not work for me, haha.

6 vs 5.9' makes a noticeable difference? I like Sonys phone too.

It wouldn't really matter much. 0.1" is really small.

Oh how are you adjusting to the significant decrease in screen size?

 

[dpham00]

Oh it must be running pretty well then

Interesting. Maybe it's not as optimized as the mate 9

 

[Guytronic]

Slower chip with 3gb ram vs what's in yer Mate 9.

Oh that definitely makes sense then. I thought that the p10 was better specd but I was mistaken

Same here. Or there's just better phone out than them

 

[Aljean Thein]

Yeah, pretty well enough to not use the Mate 9 against it

 

[Aljean Thein]

Nope, Helio p10 was a mid range soc when it came out I think. And that came out 2 years ago.

Sony never really interested me. It just seems like they dump phones then abandon them a short while later

 

[dpham00]

Yeah, pretty well enough to not use the Mate 9 against it

Yeah I didn't realize that the mate 9 had superior specs

Yeah I see that now. I am not too familiar with those chips

How is Sony with updates?

 

[Aljean Thein]

Mate 9 destroys the Helio by a planet away

 

[Aljean Thein]

Yeah I see that now. I am not too familiar with those chips

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

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