OS wise.. yes, OneUI is way better than crappy MIUI.

Xiaomi used to release affordable flagships.. now their flagships demand premium price.

Better get apple or samsung.. and it's not because of anything other than MIUI.

Unpopular opinion but I think Huawei's flavour of Android is the best when they still got access to Google

Great performance, minimal battery drain and plenty of features that are actually useful

Of course in /k many people fail to mention samseng commits 5 years security updates for their flagship.
Shows you how much awareness for security is out there.
China brands 2 years only , more if oneplus

2018-2023 still using Pixel 3. Still lets me go through spreadsheets without hiccups. I do not play video games, although I think it can handle a lot of games well with the SD845, and browsing experience is smooth, video playback really good, and photos still better than most high end mid-rangers now. Since it was a flagship, it's made out of high quality material and flagship IP rating. Calls are exceptional but it really is lacking in the battery department these days...I might try change the battery to avoid having to charge it once a day. And the Google experience is still good... It's out of security updates, and is at Android 12, so you really need to be careful with your information. If I'm going to upgrade, it might be the Pixel 7. Flagship build quality is really important to me, and I'll take a Pixel 5 over any glorified flagship killer.

i used to be a hardcore fanboy of those affordable china flagships, owning countless of xiaomi and oneplus phones last time, but as their phones getting more and more expensive and matching branded flagships like samsung punya pricing, i stopped buying them already and just go for samsung instead, because there is just no point going for those china phones anymore, they can never match samsung flagship punya build quality and OS refinements, but charging the same price as samsung

last time when xiaomi/oneplus flagship killer phones were selling at rm1.5k to 2k and samsung at rm3k, u can still argue that its worth it to go for xiaomi/oneplus, but now their phones priced at rm3.5k like that, making samsung flagships look like a no-brainer choice

Kena scammed when bought a Pixel 6, the experience other than taking photos was worse than a typical RM1000 midrange phone

Overheat nonstop
Bad battery life
Bad cell reception
Bad video recording
Snail speed charging
Bad QC, paint was scrapping off the frame just after 1-2 months I was using it with a fkin case

Most of these issues happened just because fkin Google is using their fkin stupid SOC built on Samsung exynos foundation and foundry

Will never touch a Pixel again unless it's 50% off

during huawei gms age, EMUI stubbornly use swipe down on default launcher homescreen main area for SEARCH, mimicking ios

Very ugly design

pixel 7 is crap because tensor is based on exynos

did you even read the article?

Huawei Google era with their own flagship Kirin SoC is really stutter-free + lag-free

Not sure about their latest phone these days

Been using SwiftKey for quite some time now. Hard to change to gboard because all my bm short form words and local slang words are stored in it, even my home and office addresses are just few taps away. Recently it got updated with chatgpt built in because Microsoft own them both.

Not only flagship. Their mid range also 5 years guaranteed updates. And if not mistaken, their entry level also have this already

Yep, pretty much this. I was shopping for a new phone, trying to decide on one of these; ipong 14, samseng S23, xiaomi 13, or vivo x90.

Then 7.7 came, samseng S23 was at RM2,049 after all the discounts and vouchers applied, don't even have to think lol. Was expecting to spend 3-4k, manatau 2k kawtim already. Got snapdragon 8 gen 2, fairly good cameras, ayam syukur and puas.

thats really a good deal, samsung flagship S series for 2k brand new lol, 2k is like now punya mid range phone price level, but u get a flagship s23 instead, congrats

Flagship phone only worth it to buy galaxy note or iPhone pro

Same here in the UK. Dunno if its worldwide problem.

All my other phone data plan no problem. Just my hotspot one got issue. My wife also no issue, but home Birgin got issue.

Office also Birgin no issue, but masuk building today all phone zero connectshun.

I know that UK here phone serbis is shit, but my office is the bestest so far, always 4 to 5 bar perfect connectshun. Today all mampoi. No go out the building, Im MIA.

Android you can only get samsung

One ui is at least 2-3 years ahead of stock android

Stock android itself sucks and very outdated when it comes to features from one ui. lol

That’s bad
Can elaborate more.
Because that’s my intention for the next phone change

I guess you are right
If Honor phones are that bad
I think I’ll go back to samsung Note or even iPhone
And forsaken my feberet IR….sigh

OOF. KESIAN SAKIT HATI.

My next phone is the Nothing 2. Dunno what kind of experience will I get.
