First impression

[nemexs]

Hey everyone,

I'm living in EU and 5x is coming in about 3-4 days. Prior to purchasing this device and seeing the actual price difference between the two I'd like to know what's your initial impression? I've heard that the EMUI is very heavy and slows down the phone (which I'm sure can be fixed by custom rom).

Cheers and enjoy/hate your new phone.

I've had it about 8 hours now and so far I can't find anything I don't like. This just replaced my Note 2 so about anything is an upgrade. I have no use for the dual sim card, but its cool that it there, plus you can have two sims and an SD card in it at the same time. Very pleased.

Edit: Oh and the battery is supposed to last more than a day with moderate use.

I to have had it for the day. Just picked it up during lunch. So far I have noticed some lag here and there when going though apps like YouTube and the playstore. I plan on using this for a hotspot/tethering phone as well as my international travel phone so the dual sim was one of the factors in my purchase. So far though I like it a lot. The fingerprint scanner is fast and only didn't read my finger once out of the numerous times I unlocked my phone with it. I can't wait for the dev's to get the root so we can load better software.

I just rooted it and ran the script to unclutter EMUI. So far it seems better. I have not installed any custom screens.

Have you tried Disable Application (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iamaner.oneclickfreeze&hl=en). I've disabled multiple gapps and stock apps with it without any problem. What would you say is script's benefit over Disable Application?

I have used it for a week. Camera design is weird, convex too much on back.

Rock. Solid. Phone. Stock ROM after cleanup runs great!

I have mine since 10 hours and I can confirm that it's hanging in some situations, but nothing serious... I'll unlock it soon and debloat it too.

looking forward to some Vanilla AOSP Roms =)
