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.

Any link to this news?

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.

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.

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.

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.

This dude has had everything....

the last one is the X1, the one beside it is the P8Max
[attachmentid=4583598]

been using x2 more than a month

brought it at cny1999 (rm1250)

very good. just not yet free to write an review

I paid RM 2160 for the 64GB ( China set) .. the prices overseas are even worse : Nearest Thailand is RM2100+ BUT only for 32GB and China itself is RM2.4K.
In Europe it is a staggering : 32 GB for Euro 549 ( RM 2652) and 64GB for Euro 649 ( RM 3136) - blame the depreciating ringgit for these pricing !!

It is up to you to decide whether the higher price of P8Max is worth it over the lower end X2
I decided to buy it as I find the pricing of the 64GB is attractive enough . I still don't know how the seller can sell at such a lower pricing vs China itself ??

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