Agreed, comparing 2GB to 3GB is not that much difference as the software optimization is much important. Some apps like Wechat will always close if opening multiple apps, the Wechat earth logo always show.

Buy according to budget, if no heavy gaming, then Huawei phone is okay good. If 3d gaming then no. If you like fingerprint scanner, then must go for honor 7. Huawei fingerprint scanner really top notch.

Major OEM announced 2 years only....don't expect much from Huawei.

Huawei Mate S

Initial review:
Look: The phone feels solid and the cold edge of metal construction is much enjoyable compared to plastic xiaomi.

Screen: adjustable white balance, colour and contrast is satisfied so far, 5.2 inch with over 70% body to screen ration doesn't makes the phone any bigger. Xiaomi screen is beautiful too, i mean 4i.

Camera: camera is good, but the focus slightly weaker in low light/low contrast, normal light is really fast with new Sony sensor.

Performance: Performance is really good when browsing and multitasking, the interface got some style in some parts, but other seems not match. Overall the UI is good.

Gaming: Weakest part of this phone but didn't plan to use it for gaming too.

BEST: breezeeeeee finger print scanner, the company that can really challenge on Apple for this part, and multi gesture using this scanner such as notification shade, back, taking selfie....love it

vs Xiaomi 4C: erm.....4C is a beast, but availability and price not confirmed yet. The thing that need to consider here is fingerprint scanner, gaming and UI.

Depends on the size you want, 5.2 above too large to be comfortable.

Design is pretty subjective, I think the best design from Xiaomi is 4i or 4C, the overall feel.

Happy with it so far, but there was some heavy wakelock from Android OS...not sure what is the source.

Experience any wakelock? My battery drop 1~1.5% per hour because Android OS wake lock.

1. Yes, you can. There is a shortcut for 4g in pull down menu, just drag to bottom or find through the shortcut.
2. Yes you can edit the sequence, but i think not add/delete, just drag to bottom in those shortcuts.

Yes, it has fast charging, the option even in the settings>battery, although i disable it and not sure about the result. I prefer my battery maintain well and long lasting.

There is no NFC for sure, seems like 64GB got it, correct me if im wrong.

Looking for case and glass SP. Quite slippery though, light and thin.

PSA, if you hate cluttered app drawer and only way to organize is folder, you may swipe two fingers outwards for hiding apps. Swipe two fingers inward to add page, widget and stuff. You may swipe down in the app drawer for search, like Iphone.

Yea, launcher is always the better choice. But i concern about the stability and the overall aesthetics continuity...so has to compromise a bit see i like the EMUI or not. Last time using launcher on Honor 6 causing crash, hate that.

Really? i receive the appreciation letter but i didn't receive the free casing...

Good short review. I would add the camera focus good but not in low light. The body is solid and once again, the fingerprint shall hold high regards. As for EMUI, i like it, but nothing much to write home. Still prefer stock android look, especially the notfication pull down.

Decide between waterproof vs fingerprint. Camera almost the same. Processor not much different. Ram same, UI prefer Sony more. I have honor 7 and z1.

Which position you like more? I prefer honor 7 fingerprint at the back, more natural. Didn't use my phone much on the desk, two finger FTW. And iPhone6s need to press down, how if the time factor in? Honor 7 just touch and voila.

It does seems Auto, but not according to what i want. Automatically cacat.

Some gaming review:
Heating while gaming is pretty good, i played the latest Need for Speed: No limit, the temperature only goes up until felt like having fever, slight warm.

Performace: The game runs surprisingly good on this phone, didn't feel any lag other than menu switching which may caused by game itself. it might be due to the graphic is not as intensive as Asphalt 8. Didn't tried Asphalt 8 though, too large the file.

Mini review of the game: The game is arcadish, quite fun to really feel the speed, no manual gear available, only option is controlling the steering. The car looks better than Asphalt 8, more street level with vinyl and customization look. The control is arcadish, easy to steer. You can't just bang anyone like in Asphalt 8, your car may damage. However, the surrounding got worse graphic, looks pixelated. You need to collect parts to upgrade your car and collect 3 cards to unlock a car. Only use one car so far, half an hour into the game.
