Maybe that's the reason why Malaysian units still haven't receive the B170 update yet?

I don't think you should.

Wanna buy the phone from Gemfive, but the website isn't working.

How come my shipping fee is RM 7.00?

Oppo is one of the worst when it comes to updates, my uncle's R7 Lite has stopped receiving updates after few months, still stuck on Android 5.1 and Color OS 2.1. Therefore, after receiving few of those updates, the camera has gotten worse, lots of noise in the picture. Plus, Oppo's Color OS was already a mess, and they took another step backwards by making it look more like iOS in the new Color OS 3.0 which is featured on the R9 series. I've lost my interest on Oppo phones since then, they already showed that they can innovate (just take a look at their VOOC fast charging for example), but they still wanna copy Apple to an extent, making themselves look like a typical cheap China brand with no identity. No respect for Oppo.

Huawei's update cycle might be slow, but at least they will update their phones. They might have took some design cues from iOS with their EMUI as well, but at least they combined their own design language into it. Also, their phone design are top notch, they won't go far by making an iPhone clone like Oppo and other China brands. That's why when it comes to China brands, I would only think of Huawei.

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 wonder if they could add 4k video recording in the next update?

Sony phones can take great pictures in manual mode, but sucks in auto mode.

From Z to Z5, still can't get it right. As a Sony fan, I'm disappointed.

Personally, I don't really like the design on the R9, I didn't like the iPhone 6s design anyways. Plus, that UI (Color OS 3.0) is a joke.

And yeah, the fingerprint scanner is dope. That's the only cool thing on the R9.

Btw, the R9 will be called F1 Plus here, in case u didn't know.

It will be launched here on 7th April, you can pre order it now. No idea about the R9 Plus though.

Mate 8 more natrual, I guess? I prefer natrual instead of oversaturated.

Btw, I wonder why they didn't add 4k video recording in the first place.

No wonder they changed the name from Mocha Brown to Mocha Gold, cuz the color doesn't look brown lol, more like a darker gold.

Keyword.

If a phone supports up to LTE Cat.6, then it will definitely support 4G+, and Mate 8 does support LTE Cat.6.

But 4G+ coverage is still quite scarce in Malaysia though.

You might have to enable Carrier Aggregation in the settings, I guess?

Cuz that's how you enable 4G+ in the Honor 7, not sure about Mate 8 though.

Why not try updating it to B170 first?

And the regrets are either the size or the camera.

Hardware wise, Mate 8 is still a beast.

Other than the speakers and screen, HTC M9+ is just one helluva overpriced mediocre phone.
Plus, Kirin 950 in Mate 8 vs. Helio X10 in M9+, it's like Superman vs. Cicakman.

Choose Superman better lah.
