QUOTE(benny888 @ Mar 17 2016, 10:15 AM) This Mate 8 has the best battery life amongst all the Androids I had used. It is even better than Mate 7. On my usage , average 9-10 hours SOT is common. Yea true, after a few days of using the phone, its battery is really good . Note 5 battery is no where as good as Mate8.My usage on mainly LTE, 80% internet based stuffs ( browse, facebook, mail, tweeter, newsfeed, whatsapp), youtubes, some audio and video files but with no gaming Its battery capacity is only 23-33% bigger than my other Nexus 6P, V10 but its battery usage is close to double them. Best of all the phone remains cool even under continuous intensive usage up to 2+ hours I use Mate 8 more than my Note 5 yet the Note 5 battery goes down like nobodys business. And yes, the phone doesnt become warm unlike the N5. |

Anyone here using the Standard 32GB variant?
How much storage did you get out of the box, is it sufficient enough? This post has been edited by xperiaDROID: Mar 17 2016, 10:02 PM |

Get my phone yesterday. Need to change smaller sim card before fully utilizy it. Very impressed with screen quality and no regret. Smoothness, build, fingerprint are good.
Slightly uncomfortable with its interface but that might be fine. Key pad is weird and im figuring how to cancel off auto-suggest words. Camera, good cos is big upgrade for me. But I wont notice tiny difference like pro did. Charging is good, about 2 hour from 20% to 99%. |

QUOTE(xperiaDROID @ Mar 17 2016, 09:58 PM) Anyone here using the Standard 32GB variant? My Mate 7 has only 16Gb and I have no problems at all with about 4Gb left. How much storage did you get out of the box, is it sufficient enough? As for Mate 8, I am using the 32Gb variant, which in my opinion is large enough if you use a SDHC for data & downloading videos & songs. So don't worry, go and buy the variant that suits your needs or budget. ps: I don't play games and so 3Gb RAM is OK for me.
