it’s over hyped.

vgman94 But it’s still not underrated in general. In short, it’s not underrated at all

Replya beast I have to say ????
Sam Wolf - posted on May 30, 2017 11:44 pm
unlock the bootloader
Replythen root the phone
install twrp custom recovery
and then flash firmware zip
its simple
i used to do this with my previous phones
but with the HTC 10
I dont need to

+Sam Wolf so you can install any version of android?
ReplySam Wolf - posted on May 31, 2017 1:39 am
Nikola Stoyanov if u have cutoms ROMS for ur device then
ReplyCrazcompart - posted on May 31, 2017 6:42 am
Sam Wolf – Why not the procedure with the 10? Not that I’m about to right now, or in the immediate future… Just wondering why it isn’t necessary…
ReplySam Wolf - posted on May 31, 2017 7:50 am
Crazcompart Its already a beast
Replyu generally flash custom ROMs if ur device is not that much powerful and u wanna enhance its performance by overclocking the CPU
Creating a stock like experience etc
but I dont see any field the HTC 10 is lacking
so I dont need to do that
Its already in beast mode bud????

no matter what marketing strategy they use if they still make overpriced phone i will not buy it or fall to their marketing… i wish they can back to the old oppo i used to love the brand for making phones like find 5, and find 7…. now with the R series and F series… it doesnt feel right and vivo… i used to like vivo for their innovation (thin design, great metal build, reasonable price) vivo x series now with the V series its just focusing on selfie features… and other specs is questionable for that price segment
Reply90AlmostFamous - posted on May 29, 2017 4:21 am
Neumonic Videos yup totally agree . Oppo now targets mainstream audience and that’s why its Turing into overpriced phone
ReplyLee Sykes - posted on May 29, 2017 4:27 am
luckily i got the older phone for like $120 and its waaaaaaaaaaay better than newer phones oppo release now a days
ReplyRohit Hosamani - posted on May 29, 2017 2:18 am
Vivo v5s is not an underrated device, it’s an overpriced crappy ripoff of an iPhone with an excellent MEDIATEK processor which loves to suck the battery. It won’t even get ota updates, old security patch and hd display yep not a fhd just hd. Better for those who just want a virtual mirror.
ReplyBollog Nyessy - posted on May 30, 2017 2:40 am

Rohit Hosamani yeah agree with u..i use it..compared the front camera with Galaxy S8..as i can see Galaxy S8 r much more better…bokeh effects? enable the selective focus on the s8 and u will get an impressive results…V5s Plus is not a great performer in terms of camera actually with the high price…better wait for next Galaxy J7 2017…

Why Lg V20 is not there???
ReplyCrazcompart - posted on May 31, 2017 8:10 am
Maroof Juneja – Because the LG V20 was and is very popular amongst power/productivity users… For many, it was their replacement for the Note 7 after the battery fiasco and discontinuation…

ReplyECDT1089 - posted on June 5, 2017 2:10 pm
@DragonInferno. Sad but true. I paid full price for the V10. I had to get two replacements within a year and a half because of the bootloop. Wouldn’t be surprised if it happened to the V20, if it hasn’t already. I switched to the iPhone because of this. I don’t regret it!

Replykenny ben - posted on May 30, 2017 9:47 am
The U Ultra has a questionable quality for the price… (bring back old HTC! M8 was the last good phone!) Otherwise, HTC is a good company with poor marketing.

+Soham Sawant That’s pretty neat. But RAM optimization and management is key, and LG was skyrocking at this chapter with their V20.
Replyinknet32 - posted on May 29, 2017 9:57 am
+Syndicatron It actually tore down the Pixel XL in performance and multitasking, but I assume that happened due to the underclocked CPU in the Google device.

Da Blu Dood IT IS! Just look at all the horrible fanboys, the 3t is not a bad phone. Not at all! But it got way too much attention and many people say its better than the xz premium, s8, u11, pixel xl etc. which is just rubbish.
Look at the axon 7, honor 8, lenovo zuk z2 or xiaomi mi6. All great phones and the z2, honor 8, axon 7 even offer more for the price since they’re cheaper.
