Battery life from to 93% -21% managed to achieved 7 hours sot. Nice....

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?

If your phone is rooted most probably you had TWRP installed
Phone can detect OTA but unable to install
You need to replace TWRP with stock recovery first
From the update.app use the free software HuaweiUpdateExtractor to get the stock recovery.img
Than boot phone into fastboot mode and issue : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Restart phone and download the OTA

from Note 3 to Mate 8


- i'm heavy on data connection,wifi,lots of whatapp/wechat/email and video
- noticeable faster system respond based on same add on apps (no game, all is for my working purposes)
- same time unplug charger(around 7am), note 3 till 4pm or less, mate 8 till 8pm

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

Because Nexus 6P is using Snapdragon 810, it's not as power efficient as the Kirin 950 on the Mate 8.

The Mate 8 would've been a godphone if it had Mali T880 MP12 GPU instead of the weaker MP4 GPU.

i agree, the main weakness of this wonderful phone is the gpu. but i play marvel future fight, still smooth, but occasionally manage to fps drop...

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

So that's why.
I heard a lot about differences between SD with other processor, and lost to Exynos too.

How does it compare between Kirin and Exynos?

Since I just got the Nexus 6P today, I'm looking for trade with my LG V10 to get this phone.
I saw at garage sale selling for RM2050 but will receive in 1-2 weeks. Good deal though.

Okay will try again tonite
yeah working..
that folder is 'dload' not 'download'
zzzzzzzzzzzzz

impressive!

s7 edge just 3hour++ SOT...

S7 Edge - SOT so low ?? Are you sure
I read is much better than that - 6-7 hours is reported as common

sot 6-7 hour that 1 is SD version.... someone posted in S7 edge thread...
let me search the link

That's a shame. That's why I will never trust Samsung battery life due to tons of the bloatware it has on it's Touchwiz.

My fren uses S6 everyday see him complaining about battery life.

All Singapore users at hardwarezone.sg ( Exynos set) is reporting good battery SOT
Is ridiculous if the S7E can hit only 3-4 hours SOT !! If it is like that can dump this phone already !!

WOW.. I am really disappointed. Anyway, samsung has never been good at battery life. It's just not its strength.
Samsung strength is only it's amoled screens I presume.

Hardwarezone reviewer is on the opposite side..anyway users comments are more realistic and all users comments were good on battery life

Anyway I only trust my own assessment on battery life as my usage is definitely different from those reviewers
