Mate 8 during announcement already show price cheaper than Mate S.

The basic 32GB edition after convert shall be around RM 2K.

This phone won't be bezeless, Huawei always alter the photo, in reality it won't.

Just play the phone. The build quality is damn solid and nice! Performance is extremely smooth! For the price of RM 2,099 for 32GB, 3 GB RAM and RM 2,399 for 64GB, 4 GB is a great price for such quality build phone.

1st impression I really like it! and finally Huawei remove the top black shadow effect at main home screen.

+1. Very true. Sadly HW is still a not well accepted brand here. Most users are more comfortable with Apple, Samsung, HTC or Sony
This Mate8 is now my second favorite phablet after LG V10. The S7e is in 3rd place.

Ya, HW is not that famous, I believe some day it will be a famous brand.

I am using S7 Edge but I love to test phone. I test at shop, I didn't own it.

the one at digi is 3gb, i need to see the mocha brown in real life to decide if i can live with it.

i usually prefer black or silver... brown.. macam.. weird..

based on ur experience, even the 3g is fast and fluid? comparable to the s7e?
*
I play at two places. Huawei and DiGi shop both is 4G.

If your area have 4G then use 4G, they is big differences on network speed.

From paper that brown something damn gorgeous. It really tempting my feeling on buying it haha

Kindly need our Mate 8 users help here...
As i mentioned few days ago... I bought 2 units Mate 8 at the same time...
1 for me 1 for my wife...
Mine received B170 update once i switch on my phone... So done update to B170...
My wife unit until now no received B170 update so until now she still using B130...
Then few days ago i found my unit camera taking picture no so nice...
My wife that unit camera performance is good...
So today i do a comparison with this 2 Mate 8...

Top : Mine
Bottom : My wife unit

Can anyone can help me judge is there my Mate 8 camera looks like a bit pink tinted during take picture?
I will send to claim warranty if it's really pink tinted camera problem...
*
I can only tell bottom one more on warmer color. Both had no issue to me just white balance slight different.

Wanna know got pink tint issue or not, snap on white paper then you will know.

European prices has an added 20% value added tax

That is USD. I always use USD price conversion as it often nearest to the price we get later at Malaysia.

Take for example Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is USD $780, after convert is RM 3035 which kind of identical to official price in Malaysia RM 3099.

The P9 / P9 plus pricing make Mate 8 feel like mediocre or rather mid-range to me

Thought Mate series is HW flagship before this  -.-
*
P series always expensive than Mate series. For me I find P series is Huawei luxury series and Mate is performance series except Mate S which expensive for no reason except slimmer.

Im Having Same Apps and Setting Of My Note5 On My Mate 8 , For My Own Experience Mate 8 Is Better And Smooth Than My Note5 , Data Loading And Network Signal Its Better Than My Note5..

for Note5 , Im Facing Slow Process , Lag on Lock Screen sometime ( screen black out , all button not function , need to reboot) , Lag Suddenly in Standby mode Till Battery Empty and make me miss my alarm to wake myself up to work ,  Lag With a Long duration sound of 'Beep' and screen black out and all the button not function till i force to reboot it..

Your Note5 confirm somewhere not right. Note5 never ever got such issue and never ever have fake hang issue before. Fake hang do occurred in S6 Edge before but never appear in Note5.

I use Note5 since launch and I never face a single hang issue and never need to force restart. Also never seen people mention before.

S7 Edge I am using now do hang few times and it is common issue and I won't deny it but not the Note5.
