I'd say the simple deal is OP6 for video (4k60 mmmm) and P20 for photos, but coming from EMUI myself (long time Honor 8 user before), I honestly found OOS to be a whole lot sleeker, faster and easier to keep up-to-date (even though I'm sticking to Oreo for now).

And easier to root too if that's more your drift, since Huawei went full retard in locking the bootloader from the P20 forward (not that there aren't ways to circumvent that but it's probably more hassle than it's worth). Banking apps still work fine while rooted too (thanks to Magisk hide, just in case you're thinking of doing it) but you lose your Widevine L1 cert (for HD Netflix) the moment you unlock unfortunately.

Plus if you're rooted, GCam and Camera M (a Magisk module with the ability to tune the heavy-handed OP6 camera sharpening and noise reduction) makes the OP6 cam a whole lot more competitive (though to be completely honest the P20 still pulls ahead even then).

But if we stick to the basics, yeah, OP6 for video and P20 for photos... and the 6T if you don't care about the jack (and the possible hike in price).

4k 60fps for the win!

I always record video with 4k60, 1 minute video about 1GB file, transfer to PC and use Handbrake to convert it into 1080p60 x265 for archive, size become less than 50MB.

I have no problems taking screenshots, but have problems with using the pixel pil nav bar. Press slightly to the left of the back button will trigger recent app menu instead of going back  bangwall.gif so annoying, can u try to replicate this bug? Just try to press the left corner of the nav bar (left of the back button). Make sure u're using the pixel nav bar.

QUOTE(limyuyang @ Sep 23 2018, 04:19 PM)
Indeed the pixel bar has the issue you've mentioned, when I try to press the bottom left of the nav bar, it takes me to recent app.
*

Does the problem still persist? I no need to press exactly on the BACK button yet it still recognized it.
The BACK button is to be pressed, while to evoke RECENT swipe up anywhere also can, include swipe up at BACK button. Maybe when pressing BACK the system interpret your thumb touch as swipe up.

What I'm not to used to yet is the short slide left to open last used app. Slide too much and it open second last used app instead. Slide too little and it interpret as pressing the HOME button instead doh.gif

Not sure about the pixel nav bar because i'm using the full screen gesture.

Maybe you try to use the full screen gesture first, wait until pixel nav bar get fixed then only use back
*

I need the HOME button because I use the double tap to screen off. Oneplus didn't have any other method from screen to off it, during Oreo time I also have to use the normal Android nav keys.

QUOTE(ace-user @ Sep 29 2018, 11:52 PM)
Yes it is. I've reported the bug on OnePlus forum and already sent the log files to the dev team. They're working on it and hopefully they'll come up with a solution soon.
*

Maybe they'll fix it with next update. You still using Pill nav keys or full screen gesture?

The only way to split screen now is have to press the 3 small dot on top of the app? Hold and drag doesn't seem to work anymore. Long screen is good for split screen but now more difficult to split screen.

Guys out of topic a bit but just want to say I thought my op6 oos is clean of bloatware compared with other chinese phone but I just bought xiaomi black shark global edition and this is the cleanest skin I know… zero bloatware very suprise… good to know china phone is going less bloatware unlike samsung huawei doh.gif

And yes I know some of u will say I bodo razor 2 black shark 2 and rog will soon out but to me all of them will use sd845 so not much upgrade also rog is going to cost at least rm3.5k doh.gif probally true for razor 2 as well..anyway the black shark is a great phone if u want a dedicated phone just for gaming!

So for me my op6 will be my main phone and the black shark will be my gaming phone… both sd845… wub.gif so hype!!!

Oneplus don't have much additional apps so it seem like no bloatware, but it have many other services running, normally just the system running services take up around 3GB of RAM. In comparison Mi A1 system running services only take up 1GB RAM.

If I'm not mistaken OOS actually keeps a few apps (the Camera app included) cached in RAM at ALL times, hence the snappiness. Also there are certain other services like the screenshot editor, Dashboard and Dirac (which you can of course disable if you wanted to with root) - but yeah, while OOS is "near" stock, there's actually more stuff going on in the background than you'd think.

But heck, if you've got like 8 bloody gigs of the stuff that's what I'd do too (perma-cache system processes), and 5GB free left over is still no joke (3GB left over in the 6GB version is still a rather decent amount also). Plus most of the "extra" services are useful too, like the screenshot editor (which is hella useful IMHO).

Well at least they're not trying to shove an entire other "ecosystem" up our behinds (and the accompanying background processes) like certain other brands.
*

Whenever I run camera app, almost all my frequent apps is cleared from the RAM. When I switch back to these apps I need to wait for it to reload back into RAM. Sometimes a bit frustrating. Maybe just the camera app need to use 4-5GB RAM.

OOS system RAM usage is no joke. My phone usually would be like 3GB for system, then 1GB for running apps. 2GB seems like not bad, but when see cached process page, 4GB is used by system and running apps then about 1.3GB is apps that's cached. So in reality only left about 600MB RAM for opening apps that's not cached. Some of my frequent used app is about 200-300MB in size, usually these apps that the system will clear from RAM whenever I open less frequent used app.

Last time during Nougat still not bad, OOS just use around 1.8GB RAM for system, start from Oreo it use additional 1GB RAM sweat.gif
Then start feel the RAM is not enough. I flashed custom ROM before on 1+3 and system memory just use 1.5GB RAM. Free cache still got 2.5GB RAM, enough to open few seldom used apps with affecting my frequent user apps. But I still prefer stock ROM, apart from the RAM management.

Forgot to mention there's a small 'fix' for the back button bug. Which is to simply use another launcher.
I tried using the latest leaked pixel launcher and the back button works as it should. No accidental triggering the recent apps menu no matter where I press. So that's good, but when swiping up the Pil to access the recent apps menu the animation is a bit off, u can compare using both OnePlus launcher and pixel launcher the OnePlus launcher's animation is a lot smoother.
*

Maybe because I'm not using OnePlus launcher that's why didn't have much bug.

I try the OnePlus launcher and feel the touch registered a bit lag. And also need to wait the animation finish else the touch won't registered.

Edit: now I understand what you mean. I just tried the latest leaked pixel launcher, the lag quite bad. Compared it with OnePlus launcher, OnePlus feels much more fluid. But the launcher I been using is the Rootless Pixel Launcher, v3.7 to be exact. It is buttery smooth.

How to bring back Vertical Recent Apps Screen on the OnePlus 6

I tried it, and failed miserably. Once changed the Pie Nav bar will also revert back to Oreo but without the RECENT button, swipe up on HOME will not do anything. Have to change the nav bar to Oreo or use nav gesture.

(Update: Developers Picked) POCO needs your help to pick the next developers to get the POCO F1!

One of the reason why OnePlus have strong developer community support is because they give free phone to some of the developers. In turn these developers will create mods, apps, or ROM for the phone. Now Xiaomi also following this step by giving away Poco F1. In between giving away phone for modding community and Xiaomi’s Anti-Rollback Protection, I'm not sure which way they actually want to head.

ori easily over 3A, but with the not ori one always less than 3A

It should be almost 4A
Less than 3A is very low. Not to say non ori cable can't use, but depends on each quality.

OxygenOS's gestures are pretty nice, but I still miss double-tapping the Recent Apps bottom button to quickly switch back to the previous app.

Edit: Actually it's not just OxygenOS, the stock Android Pie gesture buttons also do not have the Recent Apps button anymore
*

Pie nav to "quickly' switch to previous app is by slide right from the HOME button. No need to be precise, anywhere on right side also can start the slide. But it's nowhere near as fast as double tap RECENT button. After use Pie nav for so long still a lot of time I still slide to second last app, it's just too sensitive. bangwall.gif
I found it much faster and precise by using 2 thumbs, right thumb swipe up to open RECENT and left thumb press left corner of the screen.

Made me take out my phone from case, sure enough there's few tiny spots. This is why I prefer aluminium back.

Malaysia get A6013 model, but there's other countries that also getting same model and importer might get stock from such countries.
If seller write manufacturer warranty means MY set. MY set will also have Mi Han sticker.
