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.

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.

Hi Uncle Benny, thanks for the heads up.

As per PM, someone on G+ Huawei forum mentioned that he could write using a standard capacitive stylus like a normal notepad ie with palm rejection.

Could you please test this, as this is the most important point for any device that is a paper replacement.

As to radio performance, when I had my X1, it beat all my other devices in terms of reception and speed. I believe too that this is where Huawei excels.

The p8Max would be more pocketable vs the X2, although the X2 will probably have a slightly nicer screen.

Seriously, IF this Lenovo Phab Plus is going for $300 or so, then there is no reason to get a $500 Huawei P8 Max

So far I am happy with Huawei phone. Tried Xiaomi, didn't like the software. So far, the Huawei Phone that I have, P8 Max, Honor 5X, Mediapad X1, Honor 6,                                        Mediapad M2 8.0, just got myself a new tablet Mediapad M2 10. Tried Lenovo terrible phone, tried Samsung battery terrible.

Hi, did you get the 64Gb version of the M2 10 ?

Could you share your note taking experience with it, preferably with Microsoft's OneNote.

Thanks!

Must put on SD card? Internall storage cannot?

Huawei bootloader checks the Sdcard specially for the "update" directory and it will trigger the update sequence.

After the first boot, remove the sdcard so you won't bootloop forever.

Guys, want to ask....I recall when I had my X1, there was a Huawei app that allowed me to mirror ANOTHER PHONE screen to the X1.

I was able to mirror my daughter's Mi3 onto the X1 and control the Mi3.

Is there a similar app in the P8 or your other large-screened Huaweis ?

I'm thinking to trying it out on the Mi Max if available. I recall that there was some apk that was needed.

There is Multi-screen option under shortcuts. Not sure if it can mirror to any other phone, haven't tried before

No. Multi-screen is Huawei's name for Miracast.

What I'm referring to is a stock app somewhere in the phone which does this.

It's not mirroring the Huawei to another phone. It is mirroring another phone to the Huawei.

Haha.. wah.. simply beat it yeah..

How about the camera on ZF3u? Does it really live up to the spec?

On this P8 max, i don't hv any issue so far, never hang,it is capable to do any tasks from game to productivities, no gripe.. but when it come to photography, i still tend to refuse to snap pic using this, but rely on my note 5 instead.. lol.. so yeah, camera is one thing i hope it was better on this p8 max..

But this came from me who used to have S7 edge and sill having Note 5, coz i seen better camera.. as when my friend tested my p8 max camera, they said it is good enough..

Point is, want to use a big phablet like this as my main driver, but as for p8 max now, the camera makes me still hv to rely on my note 5.. (despite the s-pen)

As for display, wonder how ZF3u is better.. Coz in my opinion p8 max display is very good dy, even using it along with note 5, i dont find its display disappointing.. (i mean if use 2 phine with one display is far better than the other, its obvious and could be irritating, which is not the case here) thinking to go to asus outlet to see display set of ZF3u..
*
I managed to hold a ZF3u yesterday in Singapore, played with it for only a few mins. SGD778.

It is the same size as a Phab Plus, and looks very similar as well. UI looked pretty stock with a few Asus menu items, and fingerprint scanner is in the home button.

Nice feel to the phone, but wonder why they skipped NFC for a flagship?

I also wonder how USB-C to Displayport is going to work, since all TVs are HDMI. Not sure how many would have DP.
