I had experienced the S810 chip on One Plus Two and MI NOTE Pro - both phones DOESN"T overheat at all. I supposed this overheat issues were just initial reports when chip was released

Watching the live stream on Youtube and Ars Technica and several rumor post before the event, Both Nexus devices got me worried.

I don't know if it's either their specs was made to have users fully use its Google Play services which explains why there's no removable battery and microSD card slot which is not ideal for us power user. Or it was intentionally made to fullfill US phone standard (Apple obviously).

Nonetheless, it looks like 5x and 6p would be great for people who can afford large data plan and not worry about storage and stuff. But for me, it turns me off on some aspect, and made the nexus 5 and 6 a better alternative.

What about performance? Overheating may have been countered with the heat spreader or so.

I read somewhere if you want LTE compatible in malaysia, don't order from USA and Japan. Only order from UK. However, the cost is the highest due to £ exchange rate.

what u were saying bro? previous nexus 5 & 6 also don't have removable battery & microSD ..why is it better alternative?

Personally for me the overall performance is good . As for gaming , no comments as I don't do gaming on my phones
However between the two, my choice is on the MI Note Pro instead of the overhype One Plus Two : the MI Note Pro is slicker, smoother, nicer audio quality, with nicer display and much faster camera snap and better pictures

I reviewed the spec sheet before I decided to try to pre-order. Both Global and American models have our LTE bands. So there's not much to worry this time around. They're trying to make a 'Global' phone like the Moto X Pure/Style and N6 previously.

Oh sorry just checked again and yeah no removable battery and sdcard support for them. I meant it would be a better alternative in terms of pricing, but other alternatives would be lg g3, g4 or even other branded phone.

The rear design reminds me of the legendary HTC Legend.

Really love the design.

The 5x if priced at <RM1200, will be a good buy. Otherwise, there's just too many competitors from China for this spec. I consider 2GB RAM as a mid range device although the 808 SOC is yesterday's champion.


I used a Huawei Ascend Mate7 previously. 6 Months and the speaker stopped working. Maybe I just had 1 bad apple...also had a faulty Samsung Note 2 previously. However claiming warranty from Huawei wasn't as easy as Samsung.

I'm still consider MI Note Pro [RM2049 @ http://www.directd.com.my/xiaomi-mi-note-pro] or other phone within that price range.

Your comment make me feel

So meaning if I buy the USA version, confirmed can use LTE in malaysia?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Ctrl + F 'Malaysia' and you will see that both models have the LTE bands that we need.

Short answer: YES! That is why it was very hard for me to hold myself back from clicking order.

Many N6 users here are using the USA imported version. Initially there was doubts about compatibility but proven such doubts were wrong
As long it supports lte band 3 n 7 it should be fine here

Not as easy as you think.... You need to factor in sirim cost $100 and another 6% GST on the invoice cost. For the minuscule saving, I'd prefer to just get from, techbug

Finalizing my color choice for 64gb and casing before conforming my order with techbug

I believe my previous SIRIM permit for the OPO is valid for 3 devices? Does that mean it's for the same model or different one?

Do share how much techbug would be charging. Any links to them?

Mate7 has a free new replacement in first year. This was specifically highlighted on launch day which I attended. Did you ask for it as few Mate7 users got free replacement. The last user reported his 10 month old set he got it within 2 hours. HW will not repair any defective set in year one. Point reconfirmed back to me by their marketing manager after few months phone launched n I was asked to reconfirm this point.

Sirim is per consignment of Max 3 units each

I've asked him to quote me the price for the carbon Quartz casing on Google play as well

One permit for 3 units same model n.be brought in same time together

Finally! It's about damn time Huawei made a phone running stock android
