Good point , Uncle Benny.

But there are still many ppls out there, thinks that China Made phone is cheap and low quality.
If spend more than rm1.5k for it, they think you are crazy.
And still, they feel proud and higher status if using Samsung/ Apple phones.
*
to be fair i have my own set of skeptical before getting this and yes one of it is mainly the thinking of "another china phone"

Brand perception is a very important part of selling, you can make very good product where geek would love it but to capture the mass market you need to reach out to the whole market.

I am guessing majority of Huawei sales comes from China itself? Throughout my research of this phone on youtube, i often hear the negativity of Mate 8 surrounding 2 issues; (1) the UI and (2) Availability in Europe / US.

Like i said earlier this is probbly the best 2k i've spent on a gadget, i love what they do. SP on phone out of box, casing provided meaning you can just open and use immediately. Coming from Samsung i don't think the UI is worse than TouchWiz in fact i find it easy to accept.

Not that I am biased towards China brands but their level of software updates and service support could not for now match the brands like LG, HTC and Sony.

Secondly is the perception. China made products could not provide an exclusive perception compare to Apple.
Just take an instance for eg Proton vs Honda

As uncle benny shared, we also didnt expect to have update in a frequent manner but we did. Hopefully this is not a one off thing.

I have not deal with Huawei service center but it seems to me they were trying to sell the premium service with Mate S (2 years warranty, 1 year screen coverage). You may claimed it fail in Msia because with Mate 8 in Msia i believe the focus is price thus warranty is now only 1 year. However, they are still selling this premium service in Singapore market.

I just sold my samsung s7 edge, i still prefer the Mate 8's screen. Look more natural to me.

if both price similar, I would choose s7e for size factor and camera.

I am surprised by you lol

Is the S7e camera really that great? Some people said the same thing about the Note 5, but it was not great as they said, maybe it's just me.
*
I think it is the matter of time. when it is new of course it was great or one of the best. now already 6 months old sure have alot of competition.
