I was there too and had the opportunity to meet with a couple of more mods.

The 3C seems to exhibit a fantastic camera and it was pitted against the Note 3.

The 3C's macro shooting is better, and its front camera has a wider angle.

A pleasant surprise is that the back cover is removable and exposes the battery and dual sim slots. It's a long slim 2300mah unit, and all securing screws are exposed. Easy maintenance device.

Mediapad X1, IMHO, was the star of the show. Incredibly sexy piece of kit.

I will be watching out for it later this year.

Nova best right? tongue.gif

I might get I for my sister. While a moto g for myself. (Prefer AOSP)

Managed to get Nova Launcher to run on the 3C.

joytest would attest that it looks good tongue.gif

But weirdly enough, it didnt become the default launcher (no such option, as other phones, when u press the Home button, it'll ask, the 3C doesnt).

So uncle, do you tried the Honor 3C?? hmm.gif

The 3C not bad la, got quad core MTK, but unlike the moto g, the 3C has 2GB of RAM brows.gif

Camera sensor is by Sony. Rear 8mp, front 5mp. Shots actually came out better than my Nexus4 shocking.gif

But I can sense some hints of choppiness, but that isn't a major deterrent.

To some people, it doesn't matter if there are developer support or option to use AOSP or CM or PA etc. I just wish these devices get more love from XDA to develop custom ROM.
*
+1

But Mediatek, its crap laugh.gif

To be really frank, I still dislike MTK. I would love the get the older P6/Mate, as those already have AOSP ROMs. Huawei K3V2 also not bad then.

I think for now we could only use Vroot, since it is mediatek processor. The use gravitybox to achieve all the customization we need. Stable and continuous custom ROMs are still a little far-fetched for Huawei phones.
*
No. Mtk is crap. Their K3v2 is decent.

In fact the p6 and mate has AOSP ROMs

Send via my Nexus 4

3c rrp should be around 800+
Internal staff price is 6xx I heard

Nonsense

The only person that knows the price is the big boss. The staff all doesn't know.

800+ is too pricey for a supposedly budget model. Its to target the hongmi

There were 2 variants at that time.

Local unit, had the Google Play services.

China sets, the rest of the guys played with those.

QUOTE(keagan @ Apr 20 2014, 11:39 AM)
I had a go with the p6. Battery life was poor,  there was lag here and there.  Somehow it made me stay away from the mate as they are using the same hardware. The mtk setup on the g700 was much better than the p6 IMHO.
*
To me, at least there's AOSP ROMs

I was contemplating to get a Hongmi,  lenovo or this. For the same price and all are import sets, I think the 3c is the best. Huawei phones are generally stable from my experience.
*
Things I like

- The camera
- The build quality
- The battery life
- The size
- Micro-SD Card support
- The camera

Things that, well, can be improved

- No signs of Kitkat as yet (still running 4.2.2, so no project svelte, no TRIM support etc)
- MTK
- Huawei's Emotion UI. At least, it's not as bad as Samsung's touchpiss laugh.gif

Haha yep,  my colleagues z1 masuk kilang Coz the micro SD slot flap opened as she was coming out of the pool and I loaned her my g700.  For someone who was skeptical about Huawei she actually said she wants to get one unit for her bf.  Hahaha. Huawei is improving a lot.

Anyway, I've got internal news that the price will be very competitive. Dont ask me about the price, as I also dont know.

alright, just a quick feedback on the phone. didn't get to use it much but, i found out that the AP sets have been loaded with a modified rom where there are some bugs here and there with playstore loaded in.

The recovery is using clockworkmod style but in chinese. I managed to obtain the latest rom from huawei's website but i can't seem to load it in as the file is UPDATE.APP whereas the recovery requires loading in update.zip format. So far camera app crashes quite often. Apart from that everything seems fine. Lenovo P780 screen protector seems to fit well with it though.
*
Manual update, put the file in a SD card then boot from it

Anyone know how's this phone compared to the hongmi? Planning to get either this or hongmi soon.

HongMi has OTG, smaller screen with a higher DPI.

But the buttons are NOT illuminated.
