If you wish one handed use try S7e. Mate8 is definitely too big
Anyway I could never understand why users need one handed use? Isn't there a big risk of phone dropping off?
I always use both hands even on smaller phones

Sup guys. New user here. 64GB Mocha Gold (or brown? i dunno). Traded in with my dead G4. Bought at Greenfone yesterday. Feels really solid and huge. Still tinkering with it.

Question .. Do u guys use the emui launcher or change to other launcher like Nova or Google launcher??

Never really liked launchers without app drawer, so google now launcher for me all rhe way ...

1. Yesterday bought Mate 8 for my son. The saleperson said no need to put the screen protector. It's already on the screen. Do you guy use the screen protector supply by Huawei?
2. If I buy Mate 8 from Gemfive, is it the Original set/Malaysia version?

The phone comes with SP already applied on
Just use it till it wears out. I find its quality is quite good though I hate putting such stuffs on the phone

Stock emui launcher. Personally dont like nova/apex. Makes all ur phones look the same

Yes. Using the one provided by huawei. Seems good enough imo.
As long as its stated 1 yr huawei malaysia warranty, should be ori malaysia set.

Ohhhh shxt .....
I did not know that it is SP and I thought it is just a protective film for new phone.

I got a free tempered glass and tear the ori SP off straight away by the salesperson, that guy did even mention to me that it is a SP. Sakit hati loh .....

That tempered glass not really tight-fit to the screen also, looks a little bit cheap

Someone posted in v1, the nillkin one covers properly and looks good. Nvm la. Just use sampai scratch or crack then only change.

I tengah frus using the flip casing.. Ordered a case online on sunday buy until today, tracking number shows no transaction give the seller 1 more day..

Unlike some of you I only love flip casing on all my phones
However I don't like the supplied unit as it doesn't allow phone to stand up nicely at any angle
I bought 2 alternatives from ebay

How much did you pay for the flip case?

I got a free flip case also, it is a Nillkin case that looks like the original Huawei gold color one. Too bulky so not plan to use it. Too bad that you bought one otherwise I can offer you

I dun like its in the way of how i hold my phone

Mine came with the phone. I have to use it because my phone is naked.

Ordered a nillkin nature tpu from a fellow forummer on sunday. Until today the tracking number seems bogus, or poslaju really efficient.

Can i be ur son bos?

As a newcomer in using China phone, just after 1 day i think it's not bad. Lots of actually useful built in apps as well.


I'm using tempered also. The curved side is pretty cool though. Makes the bezel even slimmer. But eh i trust gorilla glass and never used any protector for my previous phones. Not a scratch.

My stock flip cover got some weird lines. Not sure why. It also really adds to the bulk. But will probably use til hancur haha...

Same. Material they use, probably.

since u guys are talking bout cases, here are my thoughts bout the cases for mate 8. i have both the spigen cases, rugged and crystal clear, and the official huawei back case.

pros and cons of each:

the rugged spigen case protects the phone well and is matte, tho it really doesn't match with mocha brown color. my personal favorite, as i love matte surfaces.

the crystal clear shows of your phone natural colors, but its back is prone to smudge if your hands get sweaty alot, like mine. both rugged and crystal add some bulk tho.

the official huawei back case offers little protect but doesn't add much bulk, however it matches the phone perfectly since it is by huawei. go for this if you want a hard back case.

my flip case in still in the mate 8 box, only used for few mins to try the flip unlock function, the plastic not yet peeled.

Anyone know if we can mod the SD & SIM card to use 2 SIM + 1 SD card on mate 8?

Mate 7 can do this:
