MX4 quite irresistible. true octa core. i wud prefer 3 to 2gb ram which gives the flexibility. 5.36" is quite good if the size dimensionally is marginally smaller than 1+ but the rounded corner very cliche, iphonic...prefer 1+ design, 'more elegant' and the chrome edges r not very samsung . Best is cynogen backed.

Eventhough they not using snapdragon more prowess processor but mediatek yet the octacore can hit antutu so high yet the battery will be significantly lasting than 1+ ; more efficient n intelligent octacore technology, 5.36 lcd, and MTK is a more energy saving processor...

I have used a 5" 4000mah battery before...that phone can last 1.5 days easily....meaning, from mon 10am - tues 12noon no problem...but i believe everyone is not gonna leave home with the battery remaining 50% would you? I will still charge full it...just saying pursuit of battery will reach a saturation point somehow...

The new processor, camera, price and those who aggressively pursuing everlasting battery will consider it

I don game and dont travel alot

I'm trying to 'settle' with one main phone...trying to extend my smartphone duration ownership lol...changing phone every year may not be frequent enuf for you guys but it is for me...
Hoping to settle with 1+ but its only the first month only xD

before smartphone, I had bought the used samsung i780 for rm500 , wif stylus de, one of my favorite qwerty 'smartphone' then i sold it for about rm450 too

I bought samsung Wave after that ,expensive too rm 1.8-2k, sold off coz couldnt resist the super amoled screen that time. now this phone wif my sister use

Bought the Samsung S2, my third samsung phone. then the smartphone craze really hit town coz S2 was so so so popular then esp the S2 due to the super amoled lcd...when at the retail counter playing with the phone, i saw the screen with the milky way galaxy spinning in the homescreen in the full glory of Super amoled, I was instantly sold...i felt like first time falling in love lol
so expensive that time, rm 2.3k, now the phone still wif my sister use also hehe

Then I bought the rm890 P780 5" Lenovo 4000mah because S2 battery too weak for my daily use d, merely 1680mah
Sold it for rm750 after few months (less than 6 mths) use coz i discovered a new toy then, the Asus padfone 2 !!! Never tried a tablet bfore so is my first tablet phone. This feeling relationship is very new....so very exciting together and had very memorable memory.
I bought it used rm1800, coz of the amazing battery, 2200mah+5000mah

sold it off again after boring wif 'tablet smartphone' coz need to carry here there, feel impractical abit, to a friend for rm1700 after 7 mths
got the 6.1" Huawei P7 lor...rm950 new set...used 9mths d...but change to 1+ due to overweariness of 1 hand operation very difficult. I no complain this huawei handphone,it's awesome....i dont doubt buy another huawei if is my need...but the ascend is oversize need 2 hands to grope mostly. that's where new need come in, i need a more petite partner
in between got a short affair wit the 5.3" 4000mah Lenovo S860, I like it as well...but the lcd really...@#$%.........but my new unit got problem so i refunded to the retailer, so is considered a one night stand flings so is also satisfied lor, din need to own it, got one time also abit impulsive want to own it but due to low cash, i didn't...go back to my old love huawei till I met with 1+ lor...

So that have been my love relationship journey wif smartphones. Coz I've tried all ones, from fat to thin, tall to short....i find my most comfortable place is between 5.3-5.5" so now I think i found my love lor, it's time to settle down with other kind of more practical commitments d now If got also will be mistress liao xD

50% battery remaining
SOT 4h20m
Basically, normal usage of phone <1hr voice, picture, texting, MSexcel
Stock 33R

Ya adjusting ISO very important tool in helping to get sharp picture. I understand this method. only hope can have a quick menu to ISO quick setting

how do u mean focus point focus accurately as different 'manual finger guiding focus' at different part of the photo will give different exposure....and at that time, the level of picture output is as good/accurate as the moment when i finger focus it....as result of the inconsistency of my manual finger focus, my output also not consistent for each shot....the situation is worse when under sunlight, the lcd visibility drops vigorously

how do u deal with this?

Secondly, how do u make/adjust that the phone lcd is as accurate as the picture output, especially obvious when each of our phone brightness setting varies each time for each situation....most likely in terms of same brightness...because u have only the lcd to gauge the after shot photo brightness kan

I use watsapp and wechat daily....watsapp for work; to communicate wit my network group, biz partners and customers...and some girls...
Wechat for friends, hobby/interest buddies and girls...so i use both extensively...text very often.

Waze roughly 30mins weekdays (gps device only), <1-2 hrs hr browsing/ mudaing/ posting adverts, cameraing, <1.5 hrs , 30m-1.5hr voicecall
excel; update expenses, budget, investment and my worksheet. Very basic use.

I manual all syncs except auto-sync gmail contacts. Data 2G<->H+ because the quick notification panel there the 2G3G toggles btw data mode extremely fast (fastest phone when 2G3G toggle compare other phones that i've used, very valuable 1+ strength, very appreciate this), but mostly on H+. Wifi all night till sleep. BT all day. Mostly on balance mode.

Was on ART for week, now back to Dalvik for few days d, testing the battery on same usage pattern. I don't feel the speed difference. Reverting time to Dalvik is fast, to ART takes very long.

reply u first paragraph first hehe wan go out liao

iso can indirectly help increase sharpness by upping the sensitivity to light so as to reduce handshake that can affect PQ sharpness...higher iso can nullify unsteady hands when clicking

Para 2
Good idea.
I usually trying to click somewhere in the middle of between object and background border to get a balance of both.
wat if it is a landscape....between horizon of sea and say, dock...where do u focus

para 3
R u saying the phone max brightness is the photo output at full brightness? that is one good suggestion....that's one way of 'standardizing' it...and combat really poor daylight visibility ...it like one stone hit 2 birds

Para1
Ya you right.
when play with ISO, yes, it always relate/adverse to noise, so it's a balancing act/decision for using what ISO at what situation (unsteady photo vs acceptable noise level) so there u give is a good guide daytime 100-200, interior 200-400, and low light >400...The picture noise is roughly a byproduct post processing software part and also the hardware level...thats why when good spec hardware, say,

Meizu MX4 camera sensor size is 1/2.3" which is larger than most smartphone camera sensor size (also 1/2.3 is a digital compact camera size so they have the same level of hardware to start with) and thus able to have better Pic Qlty...also able to have less noise at same level of ISO...generally, a 1/1.6" size has a less noise than a sensor size of 1/2.3" at the same ISO...n software. and more Megapixel doesnt mean good also, potentially increase noise level for the same sensor size

Para2
IMHO, focusing on the sky will underexposed the landscape but post processing can return the detail....underexposed has sufficient detail...but if overexposed...then cant salvage d as the photo details are lost. I still not sure where to focus, for a landscape like horizon landscape or where there is no 1 object to focus, to get the best landscape photo...or just let auto focus to do the job? hehe ...i rarely have the effort and passion to shoot many photo to trial and error actually haha

Para 3
Yea, I will folo ur advise about outside shooting- to maximise the brightness in hope also to get the output exposure as close to the LCD at time of pre-shot take place...is this accurate enough, from ur experience?

TQ BenSow I think I know what to do oredy...that is a good suggestion for landscape using a frame average.
and try out max brightness during day shooting (thanks to the status bar brightness slider) then compare how the PQ look on the PC...the real thing/output exposure should be the closest to the pre-shot LCD output

1. I use stock...good enuf imo, for normal photography though
2. Google pinyin input....my personal favorite and irreplaceable kb due to each button, opposed to usual 2 'function' press, GPI is '3 functions' , press is normal, slide up is capital, downslide is symbol...it makes my texting faster and less 'extra button' press, meaning all the usual , ? @ all in the first page. I like it simple and easy chinese pinyin input as well just at a click of a button, few kb style also included and dark/light theme and scalable button size....I hope I can get paid for doing this...ahem ahem

my 1+ also repetitively reset itself just now for umpteen time, keep reseting....then i picked the phone up baru lah i realise I pakai my soft TPU casing terbalik oredy...the lubang speaker side on top of the phone...causing the power button no space and keep kena pressed

is this the same rm15 tpu soft tpu casing everywhere? coz I bought this outside, not with the phone
sry in advance for the lousy phone casing that I have here ><
Most of the time practical doesn't necessary mean pretty and less slippery










When putting the phone facing downward with the original 1+ white casing , the screen touches the table. this doesnt happen with the rm15 casing. Now my white casing just sitting duck in the shelves...I think its contribution is just as a freebie gimmick to ppl when want to sell my 1+ that time

habis quota

I know my quota with maxis 2gb habis lio so now i turn off video auto download in watsapp lol

lastime wif digi got 6gb....but had to jump ship to maxis oneplan unlimited call n sms for oneplus pone

I dont have prevent accidental wake up yet. still on 33r

For those who wan reduce shaky hands shot, can turn on the timer, 1-2seconds...then let it take itself...not very effective but maybe some ppl can benefit abit from it

holycrap, that link so heavy instruction...lv 99 photography

I particularly observe a 'green moss' in opo HDR , making it unrealistic...is it the PProcessing imperfect?

I think it's time to learn to use RAW...and what PC software do need to develop a RAW, just photoshop enough? Any light software or apps for do it?
