meaning it's a manufacturer screen protector? sealed but SP stick on it already?

if it is... "wow!"

Mate 8 or not... I'm still considering it...

in terms of camera focus, is it that bad? compare to S7E?

Surrendered to temptation... ordered mine from Gemfive

2259 - 280 + 7 shipping... total damage at 1986

I did the same. For Nillkin Glass SP + Cover, I ordered from Lelong.

Will download the firmware to get ready to flash as soon as i get the unit.

This is the MD5 checksum for update.zip

Mine, the status:

Order Number: #10009XXXX - Processing March 24, 2016

I guess B170 is not mature patch then...

not bad, there's status update...

In Transit # 100090XXX-XX

but! regret I've actually request to ship to company... if not there's hope to receive by tomorrow at home.

I had the same doubt... but I guess it's just copy and paste mistake because the selling price 2259 is way above the 3G price which is 2099. So i guess it's safe to say it's premium phone.

and once you add to cart and make purchase, it's stated:


HUAWEI
HUAWEI MATE 8 - 64GB Mocha Brown
Electronics Mobiles & Tablets Mobile Phones
Estimated delivery: 2-5 working days

so should be safe... and Mocha brown is available only for premium colour.


Based on the above fact, i decided to take the risk. Small risk i would say

I've just collected my unit. It's genuine deal. 2259 64GB/4GB Mocha brown.

Sold by Greenfone Gadget Store
236, Jalan Mahkota, Taman Maluri,
KL, 55100
03-9281 8888

Hope it give some of you who have doubts about the 3GB/32GB typo some confidence.

But I didn't receive any flip case. Just the box itself. Don't really like flip case so it's okay

Yes. The final invoice issued by them.

I dont know. Still in the box as im driving. I've made a mistake by putting company address as shipping address so i have to drive to the collection center.

Sure! But it will sometime later this evening as I'm heading to Mid Valley for Baby fair

I placed the order around 1-2pm 24-Mar-2016 and received email acknowledge by Gemfive at 16:08.

And the unit was shipped out yesterday later afternoon.

Make sense then. I did not have time to unbox. Will do it later this evening.

Cheers... chat later!

Yah... it's a sealed unit... will unbox later... my wife says Mate 8 box look more grand than her S7E...

Well... nothing new about the unbox. The only thing is to show that Gemfive Mate8 is definitely sealed unit... and all accessories are in the box.

Upgrade to B170 as soon as I power on the unit... so far so good... Obviously the battery is very good!

still not used to left 'back' button... Overall... very satisfy phone...

oh yea, didn't know this phone is not a dual 4G standby phone... but not an issue.. small matter...

Thanks. Figured out after the post as I'm still exploring the phone settings.

Agree with the others this phone is seriously underrated. One of the best phone on the market!

This morning I've missed an event because the notification did not popup from Google Keep reminder. Tried to set another 'Test Reminder' at 1 hour later and it works. Not sure how Huawei notification works. I wonder do I have to set "Keep running after screen off"?

Another thing which is bothering me is that my Moto360 notification does not work from time-to-time. waiting for software update for now.

Not sure. Is this the fast charger?

Maybe the OTA just reach intl phone. Wonder any difference between manual flash n the OTA ones?
