The price is actually standard for Huawei mate series when u look back...
Mate 7 16gb rm1799 before gst
Mate 7 32gb rm1999 before gst

I really don't know why suddenly come out a Mate S with that crazy price tag.

- Weak currency
- Huawei went retarded
- 'S' makes it special
- Force touch...oh wait nevermind

Mate S without force touch is just an epic fail, plus that underpowered Kirin 935 SoC for RM 2699 when I can get Honor 7 for way cheaper price.

Yes

Mocha Brown color is unique n very nice. I am using this color

my fren just bought the galaxy note 5 n she really luv it.
she keeps asking me to get the note 5 rather than this mate 8.
gua sudah pening... haha

Note 5 if you really need the SPen - simple decision here

Am using note 5 but my heart goes to mate 8 already hahaha

Me too

Just notice the price and it is surprisingly good. Worth it for power user.

yep, despite the lower antutu scores, think i'll just go with this. but wait awhile for the price to go under rrp...

Hehe, check anandtech review, score is alright but remain 90% above throughput, really high efficiency processor in terms of power draw and output, i think is quite impressive. GPU is slightly bad la, luckily 1080p display only.

Why? Other than a smaller screen and no microSD slot what is not good about note 5?

the 1080p 6inch screen is the main draw for me, consume less batt and with that whopping 4k batt i expect it last quite some time playing games.

Nothing wrong with note 5,am just a freak that can't settle with a fone for long@.@

Been using note 5 for 1 month, software really got problem especially the network issue. I noticed not just data signal affected, even wifi also. Always show no signalso and unable to load the page. Need on off data or wifi or flight mode then Internet resume. Really frustrated.
Now mate 8 with such an attractive price, my heart is I'm struggling , becoz I'm S pen die hard fans.
Will wait till Marshmallow update, if problem still persist, good bye S pen.

Uncle benny do u mind snap some pic of mocha brown? Probably go for online purchase but never seen the set yet.. retail pictures vary according different online sites.

Gold ones is more gold-ish than Mate S as told by Huawei sunway.

For me why Mate 8>Note 5, the price difference justify the difference. Not to say some feature from Mate 8 is better, fingerprint without turning on the phone. Yea, uncle Benny is quite right, should be the choice between either S pen or not. Quite easy.

Juz wait for note 6

sell me ur note 5
RM 1.5k?

How is the software on this phone? Heard less then stellar reviews for it

Personal taste...i'm neutral with it. Prefer stock.
