After I threaten them with cancellation due to delayed delivery ValueBasket finally courier out from HK through DHL yesterday. My dateline to them was today
But in view of upcoming CNY break most probably I could only get the phone after CNY
Well it is still better late than never

The DHL site stated delivery will reach me end of the day on this Friday
Just checked n it just arrived Spore this morning
Well I do hope I can get it before CNY
Previous V10 they declared n undervalue it as digital camera n Sirim/GST avoided. Hopefully they will do the same for this Mate8

not good in doing review like you do mah, uncle benny. lol.

anyway, had the phone for like 2-3weeks. been busy during this time because my wife just delivered her 1st baby. however, the mate8 phone build is as great as other Huawei flagships. it is snappy without lag. i had some minor issue with whatsapp though, broken whatsapp notification on older firmware, but i had OTA update to B156 firmware and all are fixed. quite a lot built in customisation even without root. i like the part how u can manage your apps wakelock during off screen time to save your battery consumption, or is this a new feature in mashmallow? battery life is pretty good for a person who came from Note4. Camera wise, its pretty sharp, although i do notice the AF speed is a bit behind Note4, but can be accepted by me since i have my mirrorless and dslr for serious photography tasks. biggrin.gif

How's the camera ? Review mentions not so good. Then again it all depends on the individual that reviews it.

Different opinion on the web from excellent to above average
Haven't test it yet
Will give my opinion later. Am sure it would not be able to match my other LG V10 which is really best camera I had experienced amongst all high end Androids
I would be happy if it is equivalent to say Note5 or S6E which few sites did said it does
Now updating firmware from b116 to b156 , a 774mb download

Not that many, about 10 which I can easily disable them at settings. Some can be uninstalled too
Will only do a cleanup after firmware update
I don't seem to have any notifications issues - whatsapp n email received without any problems when phone was idle. Anyway only some users are reporting such problems only
