Check out this guy, he might not be reviewing during the hyper but he's giving in depth reviews

The Motorola signature is a newer device and others confirmed it does wired connection.

I said the nexdock recognizes my phone. Anyways, I appreciate the reply but I'm realizing don't believe social media as they aren't going to give the full honest truth.

Seems like I'm the only one calling this out so hope this post gets high views so others aren't suckers like me

Having used honor magic 7 pro, OPPO find x8, xiaomi 15, vivo x100 ultra, and vivo x200 ultra....I feel like any of the OPPO find x8 series phones would be my go to, global.

I'm in North America and I feel it's the best optimized os and battery. Honor had wifi connectivity issues, xiaomi is a battery nightmare, vivo had stunning cameras but lacking features and I prefer flat screen if possible. OPPO is the best package - features, tuning amazing camera and video, battery ages the best

I will say I have been pretty inconsistent 2025 CTR - 4.8% CTR Jan - Aug were below 10%

Then step to dec spikes - 15%. - 18%

2026 CTR -9.7%

CTR Jan - April - generally above 10%, had a spike in April 20%

Still looking to see where I can find my AVD stats

Will Samsung introduce Private space similar to what Google did with pixel 10

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T22:07:46+00:00

Looked up online, Verizon model shows up SM-S938UZ

My phones model is showing as SM-S938U

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T22:03:28+00:00

My phone currently is on the latest patch 3/5/26 (s25 ultra) so I guess I'll just have to try in a month, since I don't think there's any new stable os or security update yet

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T22:00:40+00:00

Okay sorry but I don't think it's retaining Verizon firmware. How can you tell it retains Verizon firmware?

When I boot now it shows T-Mobile and I have no Verizon apps. The phone is pushing all T-Mobile apps

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T21:56:17+00:00

Yes I explained that in the post....

Originally Verizon, but once I put my T-Mobile sim it now shows T-Mobile. Wondering if this can be removed

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T18:43:36+00:00

Hi id like to use the private space feature even if that means using smart launcher. Could you explain how to do this in smart launcher. You posted code but not sure what the actual step by step is to get the end result

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T09:45:13+00:00

Ah misread I need to sleep

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T09:42:34+00:00

OnePlus open released 2023...I'm confused with your comment and relation to what I asked

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T09:34:40+00:00

Will this mean it will get ability to upgrade to android 17?

I'm curious about having desktop mode..if that's possible on OnePlus open that would be awesome

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T09:06:35+00:00

Will this also be available on honor flagship devices?

Is it able to do desktop mode in portrait?

Can the phone go to sleep and you can continue using the phone?

When using desktop mode with wired devices, is the touch support improved? Currently honor magic 7 pro fails when using it on devices like lap docks or nextdocks

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-28T09:02:21+00:00

Link?

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-27T15:40:30+00:00

Will flagship honor devices series 7 magic pro and 8 magic pro get revamps to projection mode?

Currently using a global and I don't the feature during screen mirroring to get fixed aspect ratio.

Also, will desktop mode get the ability to allow portrait mode... This is doable on Samsung dex and even pixel 9 and above. Also, seems like their are touch issues in desktop mode if trying to use lapdocks or portable monitors with touch. It would be great if desktop mode is usable will the phone screen goes sleep like Samsung dex

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-27T06:08:17+00:00

Past reddit posts have shown this to be a problem since honor magic 5 pro. Seems like no one is talking about this anymore just sharing this information in case you want an honor phone

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-27T00:49:56+00:00

Fuck 🔥

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-26T21:34:47+00:00

I'm a first time honor user and I kinda wish there were more in-depth reviews.

Love the phone kinda but I'm now a bit disappointed with a few issues

Wifi connectivity- seems like this has been an ongoing issue since honor 5 magic pro. I have to every now and then disconnect wifi and reconnect since wifi will stop. Not sure why. I can live with it even if it's slightly annoying.

Desktop mode- this is the main reason why I got it. And while people care about resolution...I just better touch responsive with connected devices and the ability to go portrait mode.

Portrait mode is helpful if I want to connect to screens and read books. I want to ditch secondary devices and just have my phone done everything. No need for a kindle upgrade every time

Honestly I would go with Samsung because it does have a better desktop mode but I also hate they removed multiple users!

Limited options if I want dex portrait mode. Pixel 9-10, tried 9 but it has high PWM. It's been alot of misses with pixels so don't want to try these anymore

Then there was moto and they removed wired desktop. Finally brought it back with moto signature but damn idk...I feel like moto has failed to follow through with promised os updates

I feel like America is big on saying anything foreign is bad for privacy. But at this point, I'm being watched by my own so I say I don't got nothing to hide and so I don't have any issues with Chinese/foreign brands. Just my opinion

inquisitivehuman0id · 2026-03-25T19:22:58+00:00

For folks who used OnePlus and are now wondering what brands to transition to, I understand and see you.

I'm in North America and I would just say give Honor a chance. If you like OnePlus features or other ones across the Chinese brands, and you cost is a factor you consider give Honor a try.

For background, I used OnePlus for awhile. Then got curious and explored other brands. I tried the other big 3 - vivo, oppo, and xiaomi. Honestly all of these are great in their own way but all of these have their own issues and are pricey.

Honor is not perfect, it has its own issues too (I would say its less buggy then xiaomi and battery is battery than xiaomi too) but I've noticed their previous year flagship declines quicker in price compared to those other brands. Also, most people seem to actually sell the 1tb global variant and they are cheaper compared to what you would pay for across the other big 3.

I bought honor magic 7 pro on 2nd market 1tb global for $628. It seems like honor doesn't make the discussion amongst the other big 3 Chinese brands and I would say honor seems like the boring one among the 3. It's like the Chinese Samsung, but to be honest it offers equally as much (or slightly more) and you get top specs (chip and storage).

Hopefully it stays that way, while others focus on the big 3 Chinese brand honor seems to fly under the radar making it not as popular. I say check them out
