The close to bexel less display is really attractive
With Mate S at rm 2.6+k, I believed this phone will hit close to rm3k when available here!!

Of all the 6 inches phone I had used past 2 years the Mate7 remains one of my favorite besides the OPPO R7+. I would still highly recommend the Mate7 to those looking for a 6 inch display phone

I don't know where TS got his info price is so cheap "!
My Googling shows around UD$500 for 64gb n US$690 for 128GB

Yet to find any actual review of this phone
Just watched several youtubes ( mainly HK n China source) which basically talked about its features only

That is for lowest specs model right ??
I am interested in the higher end specs

I had just ordered my 4gb/64gb unit ( mocha brown) from valuebasket.com
It should come in by next week
I had good experience buying from this site for my current LG V10

Yes my experience with HW Mate 6.1 n Mate7 has been very good. Till now I would still highly recommend Mate7 as one of the best 6 incher I had used. The other is Oppo R7+. Valuebasket is very reliable trustworthy site n offer 2 year warranty too.

Above is a good site to read user review of the phone
As in any phone there are bound to be both positive n negative comments. I read these for info only n will never allow these comments to affect my buying decision

Is Spore based site n I supposed is shipped from HK ??

Very true. That is why I always flash the latest Euro versions on all my previous HW phones. Those Euro/China sets could have 5-6 updates already while the M'sian version usually stays the same or at most only one update

P8max I used mainly to read ebook n watch movies. It had basically replaced my ipad mini3 which now lying idle several months already
I will decide whether to use the Mate8 or LG V10 as main phone.

1 million units sold in first month ?

About 10 days to receive ?

Absolutely no problems
My P8Max is China source set. You just need to download playstore n those google app you need from HW app store
3G/H+ n LTE is perfectly fine

Mate S is already rm2.6k. So I guess around rm2.8-3.0k ?? With ringgit continually depreciating pricing could get worse. I got mine for rm2.9k

Is that the 4gb ram/64 gb model ?
I seriously doubt Msian prices can be lower than China prices

Good price . Grab it !!

Is easy to root but you need to email HW first to get unlock code first

Mate 8 is only phone that has widest support of all major bands in the world
Msian bands are common n so no worry
You can check their LTE band support n Msian bands are listed
I had no idea what model i am getting as not specified. I will only be recieving the phone next week
As valuebasket is Spore site i am sure they will bring in only compatible set. I can always return n get a refund if it is incompatible
They give a 2 year warranty coverage too
