You can't have it all i guess. I think many already said that the camera is neither here or there. Not the best but not absolutely horrible either. For me, it looks pretty nice when i use HDR and put saturation to +1.

Yup. It is acceptable for me.

Oh yeah, I thought the screen sensitive issue is only me, so it does happens

What do you mean by " screen less sensitive " , that even makes you frustrated ?? - another hardware defect ?

I think the screen is a bit slippery instead of less sensitive.

Got my spigen and free tempered glass from taobao.. Rm 57 only total.. Quality quite good hehe

Screen sensitivity is ok. Any problem?

u are not alone. samsung's touch screen is more sensitive.

i find myself needing to press certain links twice or more to get it thru the phone. did not happen with samsung. dont think its defact. its just both brands use diff touch screen module, and i'd say, samsung had the better one.

not so much on slippery for me.

no issues. matter of getting used to it only.

I had Samsung Galaxy S5, yes the screen just over sensitive and sometime create unwanted touch.

Aside:
Anyone have funny screen reaction like home screen go havoc after returning from Ultra Power Saving Mode?
I am not too confirm the Ultra Saving Mode is the root cause but it happen only after i turn ON/OFF Ultra Power Saving Mode for the first time ever.

Any ex honor 7 user here?
Should I change my honor 7 to Mate 8?

H7 starting to give me some problems, maybe dropped too much.

If you don't mind a bigger phone why not?

For me the screen is very sensitive especially on the side. Maybe because i'm using tempered glass protector. So when holding the side need to be careful. Else it will register as a touch and any other touch you're making won't respond.

picture quality is looking good...

Hi all, just start use my mate 8 today and still waiting for my mate 8 case to come. not use to it due to first time using huawei phone (a lot of setting donno where to set). got one question can i know Gloves Mode need to active ?? what is the different if we switch on the gloves mode ? screen will sensitive ? thank you

Glove mode only if you are using gloves. Just deactivate it if you had no use for it

Hi uncle benny. ic. ok thank you very much.

how long SOT for Note 5?

Note 5 averagely i get 3.5hrs

Mate 8, easily 7 hrs

If u tap lightly on the screen (as light as u can) especially on the tip of your finger, u will notice sometimes the screen will not register. Means it need slightly higher pressure or larger surface area for the screen to register your touch.
Not sure if it's only specific to my unit. For other phones like Samsung the screen will register even with the slightest contact. Not really a big issue, but I can be OCD sometimes.

Before ordering my Mate 8 I was also very worried about the quality of the camera. Before I had an LG G2 that takes nice pictures considering it's a 3 years old device. I also have 2 reflex digital cameras and a nice Sony RX100 so I know when a picture is technically good . I must say that I'm almost fully satisfied with the quality of the pictures of the Mate 8 (NTX-L29 C636 b170), the only complains are: a) not easy to focus close objects when taking a macro; b) the HDR mode that in most of the cases generates a result identical to the standard mode; b) the noise clearly visible even at 50 ISO in the area of homogeneous color, mainly in the blue sky. However I must say that the last issue can be easily fixed by processing the file with a noise reduction software (such as Noiseless or Topaz DeNoise for OS X) without compromising the fine details of the image.
I'm sure that the b and c issues could be mostly fixed by Huawei by modifying the current settings of the jpeg engine, I'm not sure they will ever do it.
If you want to judge by yourselves, here are two albums with UNEDITED pictures taken most in fully automatic mode with the Mate 8:
