Mate8 is indeed the coolest operating phone vs so many others I had used recently eg Nexus 6p, S7e, LG V10, F1 plus

Is a 100 % pure fact

How close you need ?? If ip6s cannot even satusfy you, dont expect much from Mate 8
I try take a pic for yoi

just to share

10cm distance


15cm distance


for myself, mate 8 close up shooting no as Good as note 3..

The macro shots are not great

Might as well go for DSLR or Mirrorless for pro shot LOL. The Mate 8 has a 1/2.8" sensor, S7 1/2.6", HTC 10 1/2.3". You know who's the winner? 2010 Nokia N8 with 1/1.83" sensor LOL.

16MP resized to 3MP (2,048px × 1,536px) Shot on my phone of course.

My point is, we're just viewing the pics at a resolution of around 1920x1080 on our PC or phone. Unless you have a 4K display or for some reason want to do large prints with photos taken from your phone, or you masturbate while pixel peeping at 100% zoom, then the Mate 8 is good enough.

Any recommended headphone for this phone since it is DTS-enhanced supported?

Why bother with just one negative feedback?
Anyway I had not test the default headset
It is perfectly fine with my other 2 budget headset - Xiaomi and aJays2. I had been using these on all my phones including iPhone too n had never bother using those supplied ones.
Other users could test it and advise you?
And the sound is not horrible vs iPhone. I find it perfectly fine vs my other iPhone 6s+. The audio quality is better but Mate8 isn't horrible as described
But again judging audio quality is subjective similar to judging photo shot quality
I suggest you assess these yourself at the outlet to judge better

Don't bother about ram at all on android. You have 4GB and that is a lot of ram.  Is not necessary even to look at it
Google had said in Android unused ram is wasted ram
Don't make phone worse by fiddling with it - just allow the OS to manage it
Ram management is completely different vs say Windows platform
