So, I'm looking at the wallet cases, not sure if I am going to buy one, but one trend I'm noticing. If the idea is the carry less and have your cards in the wallet with the device, why do so many of these only allow for 2 cards and cash? I don't understand who only carries 2 cards. On any given day I have to have the following:

Driver's License

Credit cards (sometimes 3-4)

Debit card (which I don't count in with my credit cards, because it's used a lot more frequently than with my credit cards, depending on what I'm buying and what kind of protection and where I'm going to use the card, is whether I use debit or credit card)

NYCID (which is different than driver's license because it gives me discounts at various places in NYC)

Insurance card (you know, because well, ouch can happen) Okay, just checked, this can possibly be avoided being carried as I can use the insurance app that has the card picture on it. Although, for whatever reason, doctor's offices seem to have never heard of electronic cards and always want to "xerox" the card.

Work ID (to, well, get into work)

Transit credit card (which allows me to recharge my Metrocard)

Metrocard (although, this can't really count as it's wafer-thin)

So, all told, I'm looking at about 7 cards in my wallet PLUS cash

WHO carries 2 cards and cash? Who are these "wallet cases" made for exactly?

I was eyballing this one

https://vrsdesign.com/collections/galaxy-s8-plus/products/galaxy-s8-plus-case-damda-folder-series

Its the closest ive found for holding a little more.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
and a 15% discount...

they sent me a 15% off code so that brings the price down to $34.00 with free shipping.

what color do you recommend? I was looking at the gold one but don't know if that's too ghetto/bling?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
Anyone seen the official samsung wallet cases that have an LED display when closed? Really kind of cool looking:

http://www.mobilefun.com/60889/samsung/galaxy-s8-plus/cases/wallet.htm (scroll about 5 cases down for the various colors)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
Want to see a REALLY BAD name for a component on an otherwise okay wallet case:

http://www.cm4.com/shop/p-120-galaxy-s8-wallet-case-q-card-case-for-galaxy-s8-s8-plus.aspx

Seriously, they use the term "Natural Throw Buttons" to describe the buttons that overlay the actual device buttons through the case. I'm guessing they let the guy who failed ESL name the feature THAT day.

Have you seen this:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
I tried the code, says it expired. Nice case though
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories] sanjsrik:
So, I put this case from their site in the cart and didn't buy it. It's $39.99 on their site, Amazon is selling them for $16.99 and yet because I didn't buy it yesterday, their site sent me a 10% off code. I sent them an email asking if they'd do a pricematch with Amazon for the price because why would I pay ~$35 if I can get it using prime from Amazon for ~$17?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] crcostel:
I want to get a new phone to replace my S6. The two main options I have honed in on are the Axon 7 64GB and the OnePlus 3T. Here are the strengths of each

Axon 7

Better screen (higher resolution)

Better warranty/support

Better speakers

SD card support

OnePlus 3T

Better processor

More RAM

Physical home button.

Thoughts? Those of you have one and wish you got the other?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tele_jas:
Honestly, processor and RAM doesn't make that much of a difference when they're this close.....Unless you're a gamer?

Other things to look at, that may make your decision.

Camera - OnePlus 3T wins

Audio - Axon 7 wins

How much space do you really need? My SD card died last week and I was all freaked out, but it all fit on my 64gb Axon 7 internal memory until my new card arrives.... If I had a bunch of movies to save, this would be a deal breaker. I even have 2100 songs and they only eat up about 7-8gb.

I'm an "audio" buff....So the choice was easy for me, and the camera is good enough on the Axon 7 that I can live with it and make it do what I need it to. Sometimes a little editing is needed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nomboly:
Well this is my point of view, take it with a grain of salt.

ZTE:

- Better Screen (not reaaaaaally noticeable, yes it is better, but both are good enough so that you cant tell each other apart). Real difference might be appreciated with QHD wallpapers, but not much else.

- Better Speakers, and overall sound quality. This has to be the largest difference. Watching videos in the Axon vs the OP3 is like going from dial up to broadband. Plus, the Axon drives higher impedance headphones without much of a hassle.

- Better in call quality. This is a direct consequence of having better audio.

- SD Card Support. I thought I wouldn't need it too much but actually, it is a nice thing to have.

OP3:

- The fact that the screen itself is lower res, means lower battery consumption. Since I read an article from AnandTech, we might be talking maybe up to 30% less usage from the screen + cpu/gpu load.

- The camera has to be better, you don't have to work yourself out to get an awesome picture. Though, if you get it right on the ZTE you can absolutely get beautiful pictures.

- Better processor? Really? Lets suppose you actually need the difference in clocks, where the OP3 would make a difference, how long can you really keep that clock up? Maaaybe 5 minutes before hitting thermal limits where the better cpu just doesn't mean anything anymore.

- Physical button. Well this is really up to you, I prefer the fingerprint scanner on the back.

- Alert Slider. Really an advantage for the OP3, really like this feature, and if it ever becomes configurable, that would be awesome.

-6GB of RAM?? Well, I have 4GB on my Axon and never has an app crashed on me, and I was suprised to find myself having 20+ apps open without the phone even noticing and instantly switching between them with all of them loaded in RAM. So this one is up to you, but I wouldn't mind. It does make the OP3 more futureproof if anything...

- Software> the OP3s software is hands down better than the Axons and that is the best that the OP3 can pull over the Axon, by far.

About support, well I don't know how well any of them do with support so i will not comment on this.

My conclusion is then: should you care about media consumption, buy the Axon, don't even think about it. If what you want/need the best performance around and like having the best software and dev help, then get the OP3. I wouldn't look on hardware differences too much.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] crcostel:
Not a gamer in the slightest. I will occasionally take toddler snapshots with the camera when my panny is not handy.

This is more an overall performance and form comparison.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Drackyen:
Axon 7 has Daydream support, also.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nik2424:
Now that Axon 7 is getting proper sound support on LOS/LOS based roms, it is Axon 7 hands down.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] zdravke:
I've had three OP phones and never buying them again. All above aside, they have terrible touch screen lag which makes them unusable. Axon is also cheaper.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Droid2drummer:
I have both...Also mate 9..Just bought each over this last month...I am coming from my still loved note 5..

First off...Don't think too much into 2k unless vr is your factor. I did too. But after experiencing these latest devices running 1080 with 5.5 inch to 5.9 I cannot believe I said all I did in the past...The one plus 3t is just as sharp for regular use and have not tried any VR on any device...The Axon 7 is great as well...Not as speedy as the latter but still a steal for the price...To be honest the one plus 3t and Axon 7 are both comparable however the camera is a bit better FOR ME so far on One plus but I have to say that 20mp isn't bad at all...The 1440 on the Axon isn't that noticable to me either. Really. The one plus screen looks slightly better to me I guess because of the brightness and calibration. Still miniscule ...Both perform crazy fast for their price but one plus and mate 9 are definitely smoother for me...Just flip a coin. You can't go wrong...I just could not make up my mind so I bought them all...If I have to sell one I will. But for now they are all nice and safe clean and ready for my reviews...Sort of babbling here really but if you have any specific questions I can totally help. I do not keep notifications on so I'll have to check for reply manually. I haven't been on in a year here ...But I'll be checking back for your comments. Or Inbox
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] zdravke:
You can supposedly get Google assistant on Axon 7 which won't happen on op3t
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
I can say I was on the same boat as you in January, when I bought my first Axon 7 and I was amazed with the device. Even when I loved it, I decided to get a Mate 9 because I heard it was a great device. I used the Mate 9 for a couple of weeks and sold it and got the Axon 7 again, I couldn't stand the media consumption in the Mate 9, because of the screen and the sound. The Mate 9 has an amazing display, but I'm used to QHD since many years ago, and somehow I could notice the difference in certain situations. About the sound, Axon 7 is clearly the winner here. The reason I changed the Axon 7 was the camera, because was average and everybody claimed that Mate 9 had a super camera. Truth is, that I didn't see too much difference between the 2 in picture quality, so better go back with the Axon 7.

Regarding the comparison, 821 is less than 10% better than 820, so it makes no difference in real world usage. RAM neither, because most of the time I have 2GB free on the Axon 7, so why should I want 2GB more?, that is only pure marketing and never an app would require so much RAM.

In my opinion, the physical home button is a waste of space, because it only makes the device bigger with no need. I always have hated capacitive buttons, but what I love about the Axon 7 is that even with capacitive buttons, the aspect ratio is great. Is smaller than some of the 5.5" devices I have used before that rely only on software buttons.

The OP3T has a worse display, both resolution and quality, and the people who say that is because of the battery, is lying or they don't know much about technology. Display technology has advanced so much in these years, and even when this statement was true in the beginning, now the QHD screens out there have similar power consumptions. Also to point that the screen on the Axon 7 is exactly the same of the Galaxy S7 Edge, so I can say is really nice to have a display like this one.

As for the OP3T, is true that is has slightly better performance, camera and battery, but is no match for the Axon 7 regarding media consumption (sound, display, storage, etc.) and the difference is huge between the 2.

As someone suggested you, if you aim to media consumption, there is no better device than this one. If you are kind of a ROM addict or you are deep into development, get the OP3T.

:good:

P.D.: All the bugs and problems the Axon 7 (including Play Store) are fixed now with the update that came a few days ago, and I can confirm it.

P.D.2: Have you consider to wait for the OnePlus 5?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nomboly:
If performance is your concern then look no further and buy the OP3, unless, since you are an XDA member, know a thing or two about tinkering with ROMs and flashing your phone. In that case then its an Audio vs Camera situation...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] borijess:
In had the oneplus 3 and returned it within 2days. Axon 7 has been the better phone for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nonamesl:
It's really a matter of opinion. You won't find that much difference in the specs.

Battery - The charging speed is the same (see this), and this), battery is the same (slightly better on the a7). I use the phone a lot and I'm very happy with the battery capacity.

Screen is nearly the same (A7: 2K AMOLED, OP3: 1080p Super AMOLED).

Processor - You won't notice the difference. Seriously, the A7 has great speed.

Camera - The A7's camera is excellent

in day light.

Not in day light? Not so much. It's fine. But in day light you can take amazing pictures with it (which show great on the screen ;)). There are a bunch of camera samples online from each phone (and maybe even a camera comparison), so check that out.

You might also want to check some other stuff out like durability, speed, etc. In videos. But do keep in mind that in speeds as high as flagships phone you probably won't notice the difference.

RAM - The 4GB RAM on the A7 is enough for me. I don't see how anyone would need 6GM RAM on a smartphone. (I've also heard that OP3 doesn't use all it's RAM, I wonder if that's fixed already).

The fingerprint scanner on the back is surprisingly comfortable and it's really a matter of getting used to it. I got used to it very quickly and it's instinctive to me.

The stock ROM isn't that great but it could be replaced by unlocking the bootloader so I personally wouldn't take that into account here. Plus the A7 started getting a lot of attention from ROM makers and has LOS official support and other ROMs available.

Also the A7 is cheaper.

The audio is also excellent.

Design is also great, the phone is very pretty (suck it LG G6 :P)

I enjoy my phone greatly.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jawz101:
Axon 7 +'s

audio

warranty

OnePlus 3T

pretty wood cases

It looks like the stock ROM is probably better (built-in dark theme and accent color adjustment. Well executed)

Processor matters. Maybe not in speed but the additional features Qualcomm rolls up in the chipset can... as long as the manufacturer implements them.

For me, it came down to warranty and particularly the Dash charging is proprietary. I'd rather not buy up a bunch of chargers which charge fast only on their phones. Yes, Quick Charge 3.0 is proprietary to Qualcomm in the sense that USB-C PD is the real standard - but it's less proprietary.

My next phone must have the most standard charging available. I'm tired of this proprietary charging junk. Dicking with finding the right power adapter is annoying and just adds up in $30 and $40 costs if I want car adapters and additional AC adapters which support whatever standard.

Just think of the extra $60 you spent on extra Quick/Fast chargers for the office & car which will be obsolete on your next phone. Hidden costs are crap.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
Also worth noting that the Axon 7 can be had for almost 40% less than the equivalent 3T, which seems almost too good to pass up for an incremental upgrade.

Also, from what I understand, it only fully supports AT&T and T-Mobile in states so do beware.

With axon 7 getting proper sound on LOS and an SD card for me it's a no brainer....I like to take my movies with me when I travel so sticking everything on the 256gb SanDisk is awesome....I will never but a phone with no microSD...I don't even wanna count how many times I wiped internal storage when I was resetting for a new Roman install....Having my TWRP backups on external storage was literAlly a life saver for me personally
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Mohannad-K:
I want to.buy axon 7 too but which version better for me

A2017 as i understand this Chinese version and not supported OTA ..

A2017u

A2017g

What about the both version a2017u and a2017g

Did they have orginal android or custom? Did they got OTA update ? Do i need to flash roms ? For me i came from moto x pure and i didnt root or change from stock rom cuz it like nexus no bloatware at all

So which version better for me and why

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrMD69:
Both G and U have OTA. You can flash rooms on G and U. There's no need to flash rooms when you want to stay stock but you can flash some custom. U and G are nearly the same despite network bands.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Mohannad-K:
So what the exactly different bewtween u an g version ..only extra bands on g version ?? No other different like which one get new update or something like that? Both have android 7.1?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Valentyn_L:
I'm no going to lie, even though I've got a ZTE Axon 7, if I had had the option to choose between one or the other, I would've gone with the OnePlus 3T.

There's a whole lot more support in the OnePlus community and the device itself is way less prone to problems. Not to mention hardware advantages such as the cameras, the interchangeable buttons (onscreen, offscreen), and the better processor and greater RAM.

The only nitpick I have with the OnePlus 3 is the lack of MicroSD expansion.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] MrMD69:
Yes both have nearly the same soft (U have maybe few more OTA ahead but both have 7.1.1). OTA for G and U are different because for U are made by USA ZTE HQ and for G by DE ZTE HQ. You can find all answers for question on forum just use "search" option.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] chironfr:
I hesitated some time but I did finally choose the axon7:

- I live in France and I could buy it at a local store. My order didn't have to travel overseas, and I didn't have to wait.

- The A2017G is compatible with the B28 (700mhz) band, which is going to be used more and more by the french operators in the next years.

- Good sound, I can use it as a pocket radio.

- Good warranty

- Lineage OS

Get the a2017u version. It gets faster software updates and has more LTE bands than the european version I believe
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
You're obviously going to get biased answers asking in the Axon 7 forum.

I've had the A7 pretty much since it was available to order from NewEgg.ca and my opinion on your points this is:

1 - The resolution doesn't matter, it's not high enough for VR anyway, I have a Google Daydream View and you can super clearly see the subpixels at pentile "1440p". It's tolerable, but after rethinking it, I think that real 1440p (as in not pentile) is the absolute bare minimum for VR, even then you'd see subpixels.

2 - The warranty is apparently not so straightforward and super difficult for Canadians to use based on reports I've seen here.

3 - The speakers on the A7 are hilariously overrated, they're still incredibly dinky and tiny sounding compared to even trashy literal dollar store speaker. If you saw the A7 disassembled you'd understand why.

4 - SD card support is important but at "64GB" storage it's not the end of the world.

5 - The processor difference isn't a big deal.

6 - The RAM difference means extremely little in real world performance unless you have many apps open at the same time.

7 - The physical home button is irrelevant; you'll easily get used to the capacitive buttons on the A7 if you have to.

And as a side note, I heard that OnePlus fixed the touch latency issues on their phones supposedly... or that a patch would be coming at least.

Between the two, I would pick the 3T without hesitation if I had the choice. Only choose the A7 if you're an absolute audiophile who likes placebo effects; also remember that the only way to use its Hi-Fi DAC (which is truncated to 16 bit output as confirmed by PocketNow) is with the F- trash tier stock music player and anyone telling you otherwise (which is a lot of people on this forum) are horribly mistaken.

Edit: Since you're upgrading from a Galaxy S6 I wouldn't recommend either at the moment. I'd recommend waiting for more SD 835 phones to become available. I'd wait for the OnePlus 4. Their Dash Charging is a big deal IMO, since it keeps the heat in the charger rather than heating up the phone (and in turn the battery which causes degradation and capacity loss).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You almost sound like you know what you're talking about, until you slipped and mentioned "One Plus 4" which does not exist and will never exist. ;) You wrote all that TODAY, long after everyone else knows there will be no OnePlus 4. Or at least people that keep up with current phones...

Anyone that knows anything about OnePlus phones knows why.

Since you apparently don't, Google is your friend. It's not a secret. It's very well known in the Android community.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Cyrus D.:
Who cares? So whatever OnePlus's next phone will be called, and if that's not coming at all, still not an Axon 7. Do you normally jerk off to being a retard online or is it just your thing today?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
Lol. He offered some helpful advice to OP and for whatever reason, you choose to call him out over semantics? There is nothing constructive or witty about your passive aggressive comment bud...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes there is. For someone who drinks the One Plus koolaid like him to not know there will NOT be a "4" makes me know the rest of his blather cannot be trusted either. There are a lot of people who "talk" a good game.

I would never buy a OnePlus until they decide to join the big boys and have premium specs like 1440p. And next you'll tell me you can't see the difference. I can. I've have 1440p since 2014 on a 5.2" display, and before that 1080p. I immediately see the difference!

He also mentioned the 1440p issue with which I disagree, but the "OnePlus 4" is what really showed his opinions are not based on facts. Everybody knows it will be called the OnePlus 5. Not a secret, and it's not "semantics". You see not understand that word.... Why is it not semantics? Because the OnePlus 5 will NOT even the 4th OnePlus phone. It will be their 6th phone. If it had been their 4th phone and they were just calling it "5", that could be construed as "semantics", but it's not.

I just call bull on a lot of points in his post, but especially the conclusion to go buy a OnePlus 3T over a ZTE Axon 7.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Hamburgle4:
An argument over the interpretation of a set of words? I think that's what we're having.

Hey look, I get it. You're passionate about the A7. Him, I guess the OP3T. All I interpreted from that line he mentioned was that he was meaning in general terms, the next OnePlus device.

Don't get me wrong. Love the A7. Got it for an incredible price where I'm from for 35% cheaper than the 3T. If OP has the same offer, I'd recommend it in an instance.

Not looking to get into a drawn out argument, so just gonna wish OP best of luck with his decision! :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Droid2drummer:
I have both. Love them both. Axon 7 just now received yet another update. Expands the SD to 256 gig but thought it was already able to run that. Anyway also wifi calling fix and night light mode etc.
