Android 6.0 released for P8 Max:

QUOTE(karheng @ Jun 6 2016, 09:39 AM)
So far 6.0 no problem. I read many users got problem in the forum but I am ok with it.
Camera can use professional mode. It can screen recording also. Battery life feel can last longer.

if your OTA not work, you may try this link. All in chinese steps but I think it's not difficult to understand it.

5.1_b029 - 6.0_b211
http://club.huawei.com/thread-9237976-1-3.html

1. download the update.zip file ( no need unzip it after download completed ) - 1.13GB
2. copy to SD card/dload ( create new folder if don't have )
3. go to settings>updater.

* take your own risk. as i know some of the mate 8 user also using this method to get latest update.

I'm tempted with the P8 MAX.. Previously when they announced p8, I didn't realized that there is a max version. Now I'm almost certain that I will get P8 max, but I'll wait for some review first

I will get the P8 Max if you ask me.

Kirin 935 is much faster and P8/P8 max are using the one and only Sony's 4 colour image sensor.

Apart from these two, no much difference.

Agree

P8 maybe sits on the premium line of Huawei devices, hence got the best spec overall

X2 is on tablet line.

But price may be differ as well.. I hope thethe P8max sits in the 2k price tag, and X2 at 1.5k

Huawei seems to let internal product teams compete among themselves, hence it is starting to look like they may become like Samedung.

IF at all I want to make any change this year it will be the P8 Max for sure, but I already have the Tab S 8.4 and satisfied with it.

I used to have tab s 8.4 as well, it is a very good device, but I let go because it is not pocketable hence seldom used.. Last time, I can fit in mediapad X1 into my pocket, so P8 max should be pocketable. To make a good use of a device is to be able to bring it everywhere with me.

Huawei's designers have done a really great job in portability ever since Ascend P6.
Their screen to body ratio is so good. Very portable despite having big screens.

Get a Jot Mini or Jot Pro, and use the app called INKredible.

This is so far the ONLY app I have seen that implements palm rejection to any successful degree for devices without active digitizers. I have tried many handwriting note apps, including Papyrus, Handy Note Pro (so far the most feature rich), DioNote (a really good app as well) and quite a few others.

However the downside is the app is still fairly new and doesn't seem to have enough sync to cloud features yet.

If not mistaken either Apple or Samsung already patent that design.

Patents are meant to be licensed, and Wacom (used in the Note) is just one of several digitizer technologies available. And fcuk fapple as they are patent trolls.

I don't think the "design" is patented but the underlying technology is.

Huawei has no plans to bring in P8 Max in Malaysia yet. If they do consider, it is likely towards the end of the year.
