OP6 was Widevine DRM L1 certified right outta box with bootloader locked and only L3 with bootloader unlocked. 6T must be L1 certified too. No?

P3XL doesn't have very good batterylife mate, is plagued with RAM management issues and even if it's optimized soon, I'm not sure how far will it fix background refreshing with 4 gigs.

Both Xs & Xs Max have good batterylife, not stellar, personally I don't like the latter as it's heavy, wide and too big for my liking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
6T is the best option right now. But lack of headphone jack, no notification led is a set back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
To add, the under display optical FP sensor isn't very accurate and is a two step process that actually bothers. The mobo of my 3T died in one year and the mobo of my 5T died 2 days back and after sales support is a joke - this is kind of strange as none of my smartphones (I have and had many) ever died other than the ones from oneplus'.

Edit: OnePlus service center replaced the mobo(5T) in half n HR time after visit, so the after sales support has significantly improved and not what it used to be a yr back.

The best current choice are the Mate 20 series .

I skipped Note 9 for Mate 20, looking to buy Mate 20 X from the Mate 20 series . Should be launching in India by this month end.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShyamSasi:
Oh I'm never buying Huawei phones. There is a Twitter thread going on where a security researcher reverse engineered Huawei apps and found tons a data leaking to Chinese servers without user's consent.

Edit : here https://threader.app/thread/1051204370543648770
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
I know, many people believe in the Data security issues & maybe, the security issues are for real.

Your wish on buying one or not, but the phones being made by them lately are great and beat the shi* out of the competition. No manufacturer in Android is even close to them now.

I am looking forward to buying my Mate 20 X.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
I have ordered for gear sport watch with the coupon for Rs 4,999. If you are interested in that, PM me and we can coordinate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Gr8 hardware!

but then concerns on data security, ugly EMUI, a gigantic & heavy phone with just splash (mere IP53) resistance are things to consider. For me, it's an easy "skip" .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Great performance which no other android even touches, simply the best Camera ever on a smartphone, screen size of 7.2 inches, very innovative features ( though some are kiddish ), exceptional build quality with Hyper optical finish ( which Samsung is trying to copy ), great battery life with battery of 5000 mah , exceptional quick charging are some of the many positives which want me to buy this beauty.

Mate 20 is IP 53 rating, Mate 20 Pro and X are IP 68 rating.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Fair enough.

Where did you get the info from? Mate 20 X is not IP68 certified , it's just IP53. Out of the 20, 20 Pro and 20 X, only the 20 Pro is having IP68 certification. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
You seem to be right, X is IP 53, i seem to have misread. I really protect and take care of my phones, so not an issue for me.

One important Mate 20 X positive i forgot to mention earlier, it supports stylus input, though there is no place to keep it in the phone, but there would be covers available which would have space for the stylus.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
My worry is EMUI, since have never used an Huawei phone before. Have used only Samsung since Galaxy S2 days, so switching over to EMUI is on the back of my mind. Had switched over to the fruit for a few weeks, 2 years back, but that was an experience i would rather forget, sold my I phone within 3 weeks flat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pratik_193:
I had P20 pro for 3 months. EMUI is not that bad. moreever, with emui 9.0, they had changed a lot of UI interface, which is good imo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zappapp:
Great.

Mate 20 X Global version has 128 GB ROM and the Chinese version has a 256 GB ROM too. Hoping that they launch the 256 GB version in India too.

If the 256 GB ROM version is not launched in India, might look to buy the same from Beijing during my visit there in mid December.

Do Huawei phones have international warranty?

That's ofcourse a fantastic choice for the ones who don't try finding Android in iOS. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShyamSasi:
I used to be Android fanatic like rooting and even release two or three ROM of my own and I used to spend hours tweaking and stuff. But Android OS has gotten a lot better over the past two or three versions and usually works out of the box and I don't have time because of my busy work schedule. The two reason I went for Apple is, one, it works out of the box and two, I needed international warranty because soon I'll be moving out of the country. Apple and Blackberry are the only ones who is offering that AFAIK.

Try the one available at reliance digital. It's 999 and works with all the cases I have. The original one, led view cover and nelkin. It's rhino shield or something like that. Silver box. Dropped my phone once and the screen protector cracked but the phone was ok. Bought another one after that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Techvir:
Can you please post a picture of the back of the device.

I saw an image online but that does not seem to cover the entire back

Also is it Rhino shield or something else ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fulcrum1971:
The tempered glass is for the front not the back. And its Robobull.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
I recently updated the user as well as the security update (Oct and Nov) pushed by Sammy and observing huge battery drains.

Earlier, i was getting 6-7 Hrs SOT and for same usage, same connectivity, now i am getting not more than 4 Hrs SOT. No other settings changed or new apps installed.

Is anyone else observing similar drops in battery. My sense is it has to do something with the change in kernel in the new update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Yes, there is a drop in batterylife in November's "ARK3" build. However, it was the "ARJ1" from September where the batterylife was significantly lower than the other builds.

PS: though it varies due to "factors" , the testing had enough cycles after flashing respective OTAs while on the same settings, apps installed & similar usage patterns.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingjack:
Surprisingly in my case, the drop in battery life in Nov build is quite significant. Earlier, on an average, it used to go above 5 hrs SOT with sometimes touching even 8 Hrs, but now it maxes out on an average at 3 and a half Hrs SOT.

Is there anyway to go back to the earlier build or any other tweak to get close to battery life of earlier build. May be something to do with auto brightness of screen being higher in new build or kernal and tweak to revert it back to earlier settings. This loss in battery life is driving me crazy.

P.S. - Nothing much has changed in usage pattern. Same signal quality (or lack of it), same settings, same dark theme, same usage of whatsapp, calls etc
