The reason for waiting? I cannot come up with any reason.

I am using a XZU now n no hurry to change it
I am hoping for a black unit n will only buy white if no choice
Huawei normally offer some freebies for new phone launches
Prices offered now by 3rd party sellers will definitely drop further over next 2 weeks

Yes indeed. XZU price drop so much recently. I would compare this to Nexus 7 for the pricing. Of cos the user experience is better with vanilla android in N7.

The only disadvantage is X1 is Android 4.2.2.
*
N7 is just a tablet n it cannot make calls
Closest comparison will be with those Tabs ( those that can make calls) n XZU

The phone comes with a crappy piece of SP installed. After I remove it screen smoothness very much improved. Scolling lag gone in file manager app

uncle benny, since u used Sony XZU before, what the different from 4.4.2 down back to 4.2.2? This the main point i worry about. About the UI experience which one u more prefer if compared with Samsung Mega?

BTW, which color u bought?

Thanks
*
There is no significant differences between the 2 firmwares. Infact kitkat has more restrictions on writing to ext sdcard... So I don't miss kitkat at all.
Anyway this phone will get kitkat in time
I regretted update the XZU to kitkat as iI find phone was better on jellybean
This phone much better than Mega in practically most areas. Mega is only a midend specs phone
I always replace default UI to Nova... Had never like phone default UI
Only white available for sale

How about the screen color if compared with XZU? Which u more prefer? Coz my wife using Mega and the IPS Screen color is much vivid than my current S2 Amoled Screen Amoled Screen. Really like to test it out this monster but sad things is at Sabah not much Shop carry Huawei brand, goto ask them they giv a damn face and answer me we not selling cheap phone like China Brand. doh.gif
*
The display looks very very much better than XZU. But again display preferences differ from person to person
Amoled colors are known to be more faked than real

Try buying online from superbuy, lazada, directd - these are all reliable online sellers
Huawei online site vmall also selling but at rm1399

Hi, really tempting. Im done surveying and read review. Just want to know  about smoothness and picture quality. I read it quite laggy.
Can attach photos to share ? Tq
*
Laggy is subjective. I suggest you test it yourself
Personally I find it very smooth n lag if any is negligible
Will post some pics next few days
Hadn't take any serious pics but few tests show camera is very snappy n fast

this looks tempting, but i'm thinking about Vivo X3s as well due to better audio chip.. hmm.gif

The audio quality I have no complains. It trounces the XZU greatly. Even though speakers are at back the sound is crisp n clear n sufficiently loud too. No idea on x3s quality. I would say those who wish to buy this will solely for its display quality n size.

since this phablet using an uncommon chipset, is here any apps incompatible with it?

So far no issue at all with my apps...all those on my XZU, LG pad n ex Note3 works
However I have no comments on games app as I don't install these much. Only games I have on the phone is asphalt 6, Riptide, Templerun, Angry birds ...tested these all OK. Anyway games only for my son when he is back n want to play with the phone.
Any particular app you are interested in??
