This phone look like selling hot.
gemfive is the cheapest with discount code.

Just want to share it out.
some of the seller at 11 street is selling this offer for 64GB
RM2399 -free 1st year screen crack warranty, 1 year extended warranty
RM2199 + shipping
RM2299 with FREE RM119 rebate

If you got 11% or citibank credit card, can get RM30 off with the coupon( 1000 coupons every day) or RM35 off ( 300 coupons every day)

They are offer 0% installment as well.

For those interested to buy this phone, go lazada, there is one rm2249 and maybank card extra 11%, so may end up less then 2k. So check it out

So tempted to get one after I tried the demo in Huawei KLCC. I'm not tried much, how's the battery life? And is it burning up when you play a game or browsing a lot on 3G/4G?
*
From note 5, in terms of device temp, I have not feel it on mate 8 after usage of one full day. Batt 100% from 8am, now 53% heavy usage on whatsapp, moderate calls, browsing & Facebook . If note 5, I may need to charge the fone now.

As for camera , may be am not particular but still is not bad as what others complained.

The finger print feature is fast but I wish it comes with tap to wake.

That's great though. I wonder why Nexus 6P can't be this great. Maybe no battery saver from Huawei itself?
Thank you for the info
Definitely great then on battery life. Tap to wake like Nexus 6P eh? I thought they implement to their latest phone.
Overall is a wow factor for what I can see to this device. Before I test the demo I thought it is the same as Huawei P8, even the demo is overheating. Boy I was wrong. Unlucky for me I missed the chance for the first 88 to get the free Talkband  laugh.gif

Forget the talkband, u can spend rm2k save u rm400 to get one online .

Placed and order for a Mate 8 + a Nilkin case on 11th March from Gemfive
Gemfive website stated that the product will be sent out by 14th March
Received Nilkin casing on 15th but no words about the arrival of the Mate 8
Make a phone call to Gemfive customer service (03-27141700) on the 15th and was told that will be informed once they receive any news from the merchant
No calls or emails from Gemfive thereafter
Call Gemfive customer service again this morning and was told the exact same thing again by the same guy with creepy sound (like he got some super nasty insomnia and never slept for 500 years)
sigh....

Mate 8 does has double tap wake function, it just hidden by huawei. You need to root to enable it

Wish to have that feature but don't know how to root.

Depends on each individual btw..I also think brand is unimportant, what more important is phone spec (flagship/middle/budget) until I meet my cocky cousin who use iphone 6..he kutuk kaw2 samsung..said why buy crap samsung..me should buy ip6 instead cause samsung including note 5 always hang..damn.quite sakit hati.bahaha.since then I think branding quite important..brand closely related to public recognition..really tired to deny skeptical public views..especially if the views are untrue about that products..

i was a faithful iphone fan years ago and stopped at iphone 4.

the price of apple iphone and samsung is getting higher, i was biased against china made hp until i tried mi phone, then one plus one. i now eyeing on mi5 with the black ceramic built tongue.gif
