Hey guys, is this phone good, which is better? redmi note 3 or huawei honor 5 x (both 2gb variant) and which has more bugs and glitcheS?
honorsux, 14 Sep 2016no gyro sensor, no otg, = no 360 photo no VR support. outdated crapi take it you don't know that OTG is activable and Gyro can be emulated via accelerometer and magnetometer data input, i tested it on a Modena 2 with also no Gyro, i could use mouselook from the emulated gyro while streaming a game via TrinusVR (in 360 video app too ) saw similar solutions for the H5X and decided to go H5X based on my previous experience with a H4X
although VR is at most a gimmick, as long as we will need a headset for it, i only use my Shinecon for private Cinema on plane or for PPSSPP in cardboard mode.
nonetheless judging by your nickname on that post ... i have not much hope that you would have known what i stated at the beginning of that answer.
Ishwar, 15 Sep 2016Don't buy this rubbish hell set gr5. What you get in Marshmallow normally that you cant get on... morewell Xiaomi is so perfect that they copy pasted the H5X design for the upcoming RedMi Note 4 at last for the front, speaker output and the general cut of the alu back (not the fingerprint sensor nor the camera)
i intended to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro, initially because i prefer off screen capacitive buttons and the Snapdragon 650 instead of 616.
Although i don't regret my H5X, it's a fine phone and works as intended (user dependent i reckon ... ahah) and also a prime argument ... TF card in the Xiaomi offer use SIM slot 2, whereas even in a Coolpad Modena 2 you find a dual nano + TF possible, the H5X use a Micro+Nano+TF combination, literally more practical, too bad Xiaomi did not even bother to do that for the RN4
ohhh i realized you where talking about the GR5 well.. you might be ri... wait ... ah ... no nope still not.
AnonD-580158, 19 Sep 2016Im using honor 5x (kiw-L21 ) uae model. im waiting for the marshmallow update about past 4 mo... moreweird ... mine is under 6.0.1 (was on 5.1.1 when i unboxed it today ) yours should be on 6.0.1 now ... unless you bought it locked by a carrier and you need to wait on the carrier and not on huawei.

AnonD-583173, 10 Sep 2016Hi all....may i know which is better between all of this... Vivo v3max, redmi note 3, honor 5... moreHey in my opinion the redmi note 3 is probably the best for what u like but I u want a all round phone I would recommend the Honor 5x Thanks

Yes, huawei has old concept. You beter go for oppo f1s or mi5
AnonD-585011, 14 Sep 2016Okay but do you really think a large segment of the market actually gives a crap about VR or U... moreWith regards to USB OTG support it's not worth anything. That's not a brand new, less than one year old standard. It's over a decade old...
Don't buy this rubbish hell set gr5. What you get in Marshmallow normally that you cant get on this set. The system UI is old. On other sets there are system UI Tuner so you can beautifully design System UI and status bars. But this set is rubbish. There is no system browser in Marshmallow upgrade and you have to depend upon that rusty google chrome. You'd better go to MIUI. Xiaomi provides many options and beautiful design.Never never never buy it otherwise you will regret in two weeks.
Abdullah, 09 Sep 2016Yes they are no they are not.. GR5 have 2gb RAM not 3gb as mentioned above
Okay but do you really think a large segment of the market actually gives a crap about VR or USB OTG? I get that they're cool features, but from a product marketing POV those 2 features are extremely niche and it's foolish to think otherwise. This is also a year old phone FWIW.
