thanks
already ordered honor 7 from lazada

lazada selling with rm100 discount now.
http://www.lazada.com.my/huawei-honor-7-16...ly-3506848.html

I'm giving you my fair assessment here (personal take so don't shoot me)
H7 as other skinned android will have these issue
1. Delay in android update (more to change than just plain launcher like htc)
2. Notifications may have hit and misses - H7 early build (B100) have issue with whatsapp contact sync but rectified with B120.
3. No 3rd party ROM

So there are few known things to expect (its not plain android that sure would not have issue) but looking at earlier honor devices there are updates and patches release by Honor to fix issues.

A very simple example is how H7 is secured and patch in regards to Stage fright but its not something you could say the same even on bigger brands like the Korean and Japanese brands.

They are trying to distance themselves from other Chinese manufacturer in the android and software space.

It's been few weeks they are selling it with rm100 discount(honor100 code),
what i've been waiting is rm200 discount voucher for it...

Delay in android updates are acceptable to me since more changes are required than stock android. I rather they do it properly or dont do it at all. An update that is buggy is a scarier nightmare.

Some other Chinese manufacturer like XiaoMi also keep rolling out updates to fix bugs. But some how couldn't fix one of the problem i encountered.

I don't mind frequent updates to fix bugs, in fact i appreciate that for being responsible as a manufacturer.

Other than whatapps, Line Messenger got any problem? In fact i only use whatapps, Line and fb messanger. Haha.

1)whatapps
2)Line
3)browsing
4)waze
5)fb
6)email
7)phone calls
8)light gaming

My list of favorite apps. Network signal, GPS accuracy, on time notifications and battery backup are the things I'm seeking for.

wanna check with you guys, no one here encounter screen freeze for your h7?
i been using my h7 for more than a month, in between, my h7 has freezed more than 10 times. the screen will stop moving for few seconds and then prompt the error message "system got problem, wait or close?"
any problem with my h7? TQ

Wait or close is on system or on apps?

I think you are covered on all these..

Both. While watching video also happen.

So many good hp right now..h7 or mi4c or g8. Waiting for the best deal now..

Miui7 have two version, kitkat & lollipop, mi3 & those powered by 32 bit snapdragon is on kitkat while the rest is lollipop, so mi4c should be on lollipop

Thanks for the info bro.

But some snapdragon 800 handset like nexus 5 are using marshmallow already. Perhaps there are difficulties in doing so, but it is do-able. Newer products like Mi4i, Redmi note 2 and Mi4c are on lollipop d.

It might not be a technical decision when it came to update.. Normally its business decision that dictate android update where user are "encouraged" to purchase new phone to enjoy new update..

It's normal accross the brands (except nexus that have 3 years guaranteed update)

Firmware updates definitely is a marketing tricks.
Newer model shipped with updated software is one of the trick to make customers upgrade their old smartphones.

I jumped from Mi3 (4.4.4) to Mi4i (5.0.2) and to Mi Note (4.4.4)
Honestly can't tell any experience difference between them though.

Mi Note however, comes with a number of extra features which is again some of the features is a marketing tricks rather than hardware limitation of lower tier devices

hi all,

juz brought H7, so far im quite satisfied this this phone..

Best phone I've used in a long while, got pampered by the Smart Controller. Shortcut buttons are awesome too.

Your unit has problem, I received my unit a few days after launch and have been using it till now and haven't encounter such issue.
