I have both note 5 and mate 8. Just got my mate8 just now.

To be honest, I prefer mate8 camera. The pics are more natural . Note 5 pics looks yellow and way too overprocessed.

I feel the mate8 camera has the same characteristics as iphone 6s .

I found out that its almost impossible to use the fingerprint scanner with the flip casing that comes with this phone.

U need to open the cover then only scan ur finger. Right hand ok. If left hand impossible.

Only suitable for normal back casing....

Front scanner is still more practical for flip casing

Say all u want , but for me , the mate8 camera is definately better than Note 5.

Mate 8 pictures is as close as u get to iphone 6s pics.

Note 5 pictures are overprocessed. And in low light, the pics always turn yellowy.

This Mate 8 has the best battery life amongst all the Androids I had used. It is even better than Mate 7. On my usage , average 9-10 hours SOT is common.
My usage on mainly LTE, 80% internet based stuffs ( browse, facebook, mail, tweeter, newsfeed, whatsapp), youtubes, some audio and video files but with no gaming
Its battery capacity is only 23-33% bigger than my other Nexus 6P, V10 but its battery usage is close to double them. Best of all the phone remains cool even under continuous intensive usage up to 2+ hours

Yea true, after a few days of using the phone, its battery is really good . Note 5 battery is no where as good as Mate8.

I use Mate 8 more than my Note 5 yet the Note 5 battery goes down like nobodys business.

And yes, the phone doesnt become warm unlike the N5.

Huawei so good, the phone come with free flip case and tempered glass, my friend very sastified lol

Got free flip case, but got free tempered glass meh? I tot its normal sp only



Btw one thing about this phone is the damn box. This box is the most premium box i have ever seen. Not even on iphones or samsungs. I must say they did a damn good job on the box. It looks and feels like it came out from LV or Hermes.

Benchmark score and camera im sure s7e is a class above, which is reflected in the selling price.

Awesome phone. Super super battery life. I play games and waze so much yet the battery takes forever to reduce.

Camera is good too.

Only gripe is the power button shud be placed on the left side of the phone not on the same side as the volume rocker.

And the power button is not "tight" enough. A slight press on it, and the screen switches off. They shud make the power button harder to press
