digi on note5 are crazy stupid..but i felt great on my new Mate8 , very smooth and no freezing issue..

Mate 8 icons can resize become smaller or not?..or can download smaller theme?..last friday I view mate 8 at huawei shop..gold colour really good..all is ok, just icon a bit bigger..if can make smaller, will be really cun..

You can use 3rd party launcher such as Action 3 or Nova to resize all.icons sizes n change all.icons themes too

There's the problem: 1080p. I think 2K is too much for a phone and it puts extra strain on the phone for no reason except eye candy. The Mate 8 can be fluid and last longer because it only pushes a little more than half of the Note 5. If Samsung had kept to 1080p but bumped up the specs it would blow everyone else out of the water.

Well, samsung is known to focus on hardware. janji powerful. Samsung suka.

Conclusions, we can't compare phone to phone because they have their strengths and weaknesses without includes bugs and issues. .

Ya..2k is overkill especially for the smartphone that have really small screen size compared to tv.it will takes some times for quad hd display phone to have good battery life(>2days) while for 1080p it have already proven can last longer with iphones 6s plus, mate 8 and galaxy a9. I also think samsung will have extraordinary batterylife if note series came out with 1080p display taken account what it have achieve with 2k batterylife..less pixel to push, less strain to battery.

That is the problem with samsung..too much focus on hardware spec for its flagship model..now 2k, snapdragon, bigger ram..all this high spec are power hungry..after this came out with 4k display, faster ram, faster processor, yet battery life will still become problem with majority of heavy use customer..

I have a copper dbrand skin for sale. Is anyone interested?

I had PM you for discussions.

Haha nice mayb nice 2 upgrade from note then

Wow..massive 6250mah..

The name cannot make it la

Dodgy Doggy Style

It is deca core

So the recent update blocked the installation of 3rd party fonts. Now I can't apply any of my 3rd party fonts. >:(

for good display, resolution is not just only factor. color accuracy, contrast, brightness,etc.
I think what make samsung phone different than other lcd phone is the deep black of OLED produce (inifinity contrast).
color accuracy is top notch with basic mode. If you are not into color accuarcy, oled is well known for saturate color.


Just my opinion, i dont think it is worth changing to mate 8 from note 5 unless you are absolutely dislike note5. it is even less worth than let say changing to s7 edge/lg g5 from note 5.

I reviewed the mate 8 and compared based on specs, its not an upgrade from the note 5. Quite similar, only thing is battery power and 64gb rom (and mmc capabilities)

I cannot comment on the screen as i have not actually tried 1, but most ppl wont be able to tell abt the screen clarity, color accuracy etc without putting both phones side by side.

I wonder how you compare specs - just based on paper ??

Chipset wise : mate 8 is much more powerful and just looking at its Antutu benchmark alone is more than 50% higher than Note5. In daily use Mate 8 is obviously very much faster and smoother than Note 5
Operating temperature : Mate 8 is very much cooler. One hardly feel warm even with intensive usage continously over 2-3 hours
Battery life : Mate 8 easily 10 hours SOT vs 5-6 hours most Note 5 users are getting
GSM/LTE lockup : mate 8 is top and doesn't faced issues such as calls drop off and LTE connectivity issues a common problem among Note 5 users
Display : mate 8 though only is 1080p, seriously I cannot see any significant difference with S7E, LG v10, Nexus 6P with higher resolution. Unless one has microscopic eyes only geeks will look for pixel differences. Anyway those who love SAmoled might not like the LCD display. Personally I just do not like Amoled as I find the colors being overly bright and colors too saturated. This I suggest you see it yourself to judge
Camera shots quality : can easily match Note 5 but loses out to the more superior LG V10, S7E

Note5 main advantage I would say is its SPen only
The Mate 5 is definitely positively a big upgrade over the Note 5
Sorry if I offend any Note 5 lovers/ users here - just speaking out based on my experiences having used both these phones

If you are happy with Note 5, why even bother to consider to change ? Change only if you wish a overall much better phone and you have a budget for it

i compare based on paper as i havent tried the device yet, but since u have already summarized then i guess mate 8 is an overall better phone minus the s pen.
