As what i am aware, Malaysia version doesn't have slow-mo...Time-lapse yes...

NORMAL charging report No. 8:
Adapter : Stock adapter & cable.

Charging state : Phone is on.

Rate:
0 minute = 6%
1 hour = 58%
2 hours 7 minutes = 100%







Conclusion : Fast-charging takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to reach from 5% to 100%. Hence, there is not much effects of the fast charging capability, even during the 1st 1 hour charging period.

50% battery left and the Screen-On-Time is 4 hours....???!!!
This Kirin935 is surely great for those who do 24/7 social apps activities...LOL...

Short-term-buy = H7 is either luv it or hate it device. Hence, I strongly advice potential buyers to try the device for more than 10 minutes. Try the single hand operation with the weight-to-body ratio which is bad in my opinion. This device is unnecessarily "heavy". Even typing using two hands also uncomfortable after like 60 seconds. Taking pix without blocking the lense is kind of annoying. If you buy online & never test drive the device, after awhile you may have the urge to sell back as second hand unit. That's "short-term-buy" in my vocabulary.

ZTE Nubia Z7 Max is way more superior than H7 in terms of:
1) Strong dev support from moderators as well as ZTE in-house team. The device has CM12.1 mod, and now progressively updating to more stable 5.1.1. However, I'm not expecting it to go all the way to Mallow. Lolli is enuff.

2) It supports dual-SIM with separate microSD card. Besides, I don't need any SIM ejector pin to replace the SIM. Just remove the back cover and use thumb to remove the SIM. The same goes for the microSD card tray.

3) Nubia Z7 Max has NFC. Future proof for mobile payment (if it ever launch here in Malaysia). Also, easily pairing with my smartband/wearable devices.

4) Nubia Z7 Max with Snap801 together with fine tuning of the system (stock) has great idle power consumption. It losts 1% over 6 hours idle. H7 is about 5% which can be improved in the next update(s).

5) Nubia Z7 Max has the best call, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity in terms of stability and signal strength. I can continue my call conversation in an elevator without worrying the call will be disconnected.

6) The auto-brightness in H7 is wonky. Next OTA should solve this bug. Another point for "short-term-buy".

7) H7 does not have manual mode for the still pix photography. Although 3rd party apps may solve this, but, stability and pix quality of 3rd party apps is questionable. Nubia Z7 Max has manual mode settings by default in the stock ROM. Only just the Sony IMX214 sensor is old compared to H7 IMX230. But it's not about hardware alone, software algorithms plays important role as well.

8) With SRP of RM1,399 for 16GB, it is in my opinion a bit over-priced compared to over 1 year old launching price of Nubia Z7 Max (32GB) in 2014. As per my review, this H7 should be priced at RM1,099 for 32GB storage.

See... I told you maaaaaa.....

If the user is heavy typist (FB lah, WhatsApp lah, Insta lah, SnapC lah...), having less than 5.5 inch screen is not comfy in potrait mode. So, it is a give and take scenario whether to have small screen for single hand usage or bigger screen for dual-hand typing pleasure...

OMG ... my fingers cramped typing for the past 10 minutes...

Huawei/Honor, for next release of H8, please ensure ergonomic design for heavy typist....LOL..

I am hoping they move the fingerprint scanner to the front in order to counter back the weight of the camera at the top/back. Putting both camera and fingerprint scanner at the back and close to each other makes the weight distribution uneven and hence make the device "tumbling" when typing using single or dual-hand.

Similar achievement of battery profiles:



His unit is also having strange battery drain during idle be it in "Performance" or "Smart" or "Ultra Smart" mode.

1) Toggle off the volume down key combo inside the camera settings. I suggest better leave the ultra snap invoked by vol down key. Assign other useful usage for the Smart Key. Don't waste it...

2) Ultra snap works only when screen is off. So, you may not know what is snapped during off screen and whether the object is properly focus or not. One of the usage for ultra snapshot is at parking basement where you just need quick pix of the parking lots number/column marking.

3) Multi screen = screen cast to your "smart" TV. If ur TV does not support miracast tech, u may need either Chromecast adapter or proprietary miracast adapter:

NORMAL charging report No. 9
Adapter : HTC Quick-charge adapter & cable.

Charging state : Phone is on.

Rate:
0 minute = 8%
1 hour = 70%
2 hours = 100%

Battery drain during idling/standby:
Mode :
1) 100% dual SIM active
2) 100% Wi-Fi+ & Bluetooth

100% charged : 12:32am.
97% charged : 6:33am.

Therefore, 3% lost during 6 hours idling/standby.

There's a bug in the battery usage report. Only after reboot then the actual list of apps and services will be updated.

30 minutes navi consumed 10% juice... this is horrible...

I believe this is similar to the one that I ordered at Lelong for RM7.99. This case is OK if u don't apply tempered glass. If u hv tempered glass applied, then, the side edges of this case will not fit on top of the glass.

There is similar TPU casing by Nillkin but super expensive at >RM30....

Sony IMX230 galore....

Resolution : 15MP
Modes from left to right : Normal - HDR - Good Food

Hmmm... very difficult to tell....LOL..

My Zenfone 2 unit was the cheaper variant ZE550ML (720P resolution) @ <RM700 not the 1080P variant. Overall, it is a good phone for gaming and social networking activities. For the price of half the H7 (literally 2 x Zen2 = 1 H7), it's a value buy. But definitely the battery performance in Zen2 can't beat H7. But Zen2 has Qualcomm's Quick-charge tech to fully charged in 75 minutes.

If u don't mind the bulkinesss and low res Zen2, you'll be happy to own it. But, you can also opt for Alcatel OneTouch Flash Plus as alternative.

But now, for RM699, better invest on Xiaomi Redmi Note 2. Good all rounder device in year 2015...

Lowyat plaza loohhh... but I ordered from Lelong more convenient...

Just make sure you get the correct SoC, ie Intel & not the Snap410 or 615. Lately, ASUS releases plenty of Zen2 models with almost the same pricing between one and another. The Intel has PowerVR GPU for excellent gaming experience.

I picked the anti-UV. Need to add RM8. My review below:
