Mate s launch Oct 2015.  Mate 8 launch yesterday.

Mate 8 cheaper den Mate S.

Mate 8 seems to be better speced than Mate S.

rather confusing strategy i think.

wow.. seriously 2088 from gemfive...

plus RM 7 shipping 

Does it support quick charge ?

I checked with gemfive, they claimed all are huawei malaysia units. But am still suspicious with the colour.

still it is a deal ! but they dont have mocha brown...made me tempted to drop my order from lazada and jump to gemfive  ..anyone here dealt with gemfive before?

bought a huawei watch from gemfive last month, very fast delivery.

thanks for the info! anyone has on hand their local mate 8 pls share some pics 

Can uncle benny share your Mocha Brown? Most sample out there are gold color. 

definitely... space grey 64gb if true... i'll straight buy.

how u pm them?

It doesn't has app drawer like many other China source phones - iphone like!
Anyway app into folder in Emui is now easier - just tap app you wish from list into folder you need. Simplest n fastest implementation I had seen so far
Anyway Google had plan to do away with app drawer in Android N too!
You can also use any other 3rd party launcher eg Nova , ACTION3 - I had tested only these 2
Using 3rd party launcher will disallow you to choose the many HW themes available
The default software allows you to set permissions n notification options for all app an unseen feature in other androids I had used. Just explore it to tweak to your satisfaction

The most attractive feature of this phone is its insane battery life ...I brought this phone with me to Taipei but never use it. In 3 days battery level only drop 4% with wifi left on n phone unused. My mail n whatsapp n other
app notifications continue to work in background.
Normal daily usage I could easily get 9-10 hours SOT with a mix of LTE/wifi. In Taipei I am using my V10 as my daily phone

i'm into the 64gb space grey unit oso
