Seriously this statement is a joke "so, Huawei doesn't have the known reliability of Motorola, Samsung and LG."
I had used several HW phones, many Samsung n 3LG n my personal assessment HW reliability n build quality is one of the best if not the best

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

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

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

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.

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

These phones lack what the NEXUS series offer - quick updates on latest Google firmware and numerous roms/kernels flash-ability options. This is always the reason why I would like to buy a Nexus

A thumbs up from Android Authority of N6P vs N6

Just placed my 128 GB ( Silver) unit from Techbug. I had purchased from him before for my ex Nexus 5 . I can say he is a trusted and reliable seller
Now the wait begin for its arrival !!

No idea yet. I'd expect at least a month. Will advise you guys when I get any updates. No hurry for me as I had 3 other phones with me right now

Price as per his site. NO extra costs for delivery in M'sia. If you choose payment by credit card or paypal - usually extra charge 3, 5% respectively. I supposed he will cover all Sirim/GST charges . My previous N5 purchase I pay exactly as he listed

Techbug had replied me saying delivery is earliest mid Nov. I think he is giving me a safe date! Anyway the date is fine with me.

I am not a fan of any brands - I had used before Samsung , HTC, Nexus, Sony, LG, Acer, Asus, Nexus, Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo etc
Each brand has their own unique pro n cons
However Samsung seems to be a brand many hate but yet many want to buy
These days my purchase will be constrained by :
- display size , minimum is 5.5 inch prefatably 6 inches
- minimum 2gb ram
- minimum 64gb storage if no ext sdcard support
- chipset unimportant Eg I even find HW default chipset is good enough, R7+ Sd615 midrange is good enough. I don't play games so great powerful performance unimportant
- Battery size minimum 2500 mAh
- display type unimportant but given a choice prefer LCD instead of Amoled ( colors I find often too saturated n bright)
- camera : decently good n speedy is sufficient. I am just a simple point n click guy. MP not too concerned over it
I had yet to find my BEST smartphone ( which doesn't exist ) n closest to excellent will be Note5 n LG G4

My first China branded phone was Huawei Mate6.1. Was sceptical initially about HW but the fact they were the world's 3rd largest mobile phone sellers after Apple n Samsung encouraged me to test it out. I was not dissapointed n was impressed with it. Thereafter I followed up with mediapad X1, Mate7 n p8max. All these HW phones were indeed good. I had rated Mate7 as best 6 incher I had used vs Nexus6, XZU, Mega 6.3, HTC one max, LG GPro2.
My other china makes : oppo find7 n R7+. The R7+ has now taken the crown over Mate7
My recently acquired Xiaomi MI Note Pro was a much better phone vs my ex one plus two ( another China make)
It is indeed sad China brands are often look down. But seriously now those high end phones are no longer cheap just because is China branded or make in China.
It will take some years before China brands are recognize well
Google is not dumb to select HW as their partner without any deep research into their manufacturing capability n reliability.

RM 3299 n rm 3069 respectively

No problem usually for 1-2 units. Just unsealed the box and take off phone packaging and if asked just said is for personal usage. Unlikely it will be hold by custom and if indeed hold apply Sirim permit ( RM 100) and pay 6% GST on phone invoice value. GST if brought in through courier company one will need pay directly to courier company . With personal bringing in, probably pay to airport customs ??
Buying sets from USA make sure is unlocked set and not tied to telcos

If your luggage is not checked than is straightforward an non issue.

It is true our continual plunging of the ringgit now makes this Nexus series and all other upcoming phones more expensive. Add in another 6% GST makes it worse ! I cannot imagine the Horror when the exchange goes to RM5 to 1 US$ !!!

Another HW non fan. Actually HW make very good phones. I had very good experience using Mate6.1, X1, Mate7 n P8max. As said earlier on Google isn't that dumb to give them the chance to manufacture the phone without detailed review of their capability n reliability. HW is world 3rd largest mobile maker after Apple n Samsung n you don't make lousy products to achieve that status.

That choice will solely depend on what features a buyer need in his smartphone
Buying decisions is not solely on pricing or brand only
Nexus line is more suitable for users who demand quick n fast update to firmware, less bloatware n its options to allow flashing of many alternative kernels or roms.

I think you meant our currency is too small or weak vs the major currencies of the world ??
It is just too bad it is so and the 4.4-4.5 range is expected to be so in the next 2 months. Will it go down below 4.3 in coming months ? No one really knows. Those who make money playing with currency will either make a big loss or profit. This exchange rate has make all phones more expensive already.
