Ya but online can buy 1.4-1.5k.

I don't think it supports MHL. It's not on the official specs list if I'm not mistaken.

For me, the Mate 8 is the only Android flagship that I have used so far with a battery that doesn't run out of juice before I reach home from work daily (heavy user). Maybe 4,000 mAh is the sweet spot for battery capacity in Android (my previous Note 5 with 3,000 mAh wasn't cutting it). Previously was using a 6S Plus and I would say the standby power management is unrivaled. In terms of SOT, between my 6S Plus and the Mate 8, I would say it's fairly about the same, but to me, what is important is I don't have to charge my phone or carry a power bank with me all the time as I move around a lot.

Am waiting to get the 7 Plus so will only comment on it's battery performance then

Standard version 3GB RAM/32GB Storage, Premium is 4GB/64GB.

Impressive!

Anyways, am done with my Mate 8 for now and have moved on to the iPhone 7 Plus. Waiting to see what Mate 9 brings to the table

Not rich la, but iPhones have good resale value, so sell off current one and the top up to upgrade is not as bad as everyone thinks.

That's strange. In Ultra Battery Saving mode my maximum drain overnight is only 2%.

I'm letting mine go at RM1.1k. Already have a buyer.

I don't own an S7 Edge so I can't comment on the accuracy of that article, but I do know that the Mate 8's battery life is the best of all Android flagships I've owned thus far. I've had a Note 5 and Galaxy Tab S2, so I have a rough idea of the power management on Samsung's TouchWiz, so it could be true that the S7E may not outlast the Mate 8 in real life scenario.

Since Sep 29, 2016. Just under 2 months

Oops, typo. Should be 2016

I think the phone's hardware setup is good to go for another two years, at least. Very decent specs. But good resale value is doubtful. Recently at the 11/11 sale, Harvey Norman had a buy one free one for this phone, RM2,399 for two phones! Can see new ones being advertised at RM1600 to RM1800 at Garage Sale aready, so half a year from now I think the value will be much lower.

On B193 as well. Currently the Mate 8 is being used by my son to play Pokémon Go

(And in case anyone is wondering, the best I got out of the Mate 8 battery so far is just slightly over 6 hours of Pokémon Go )

I had the Note 5 before I switched to the Mate 8 and my own opinion is that the photo quality is equally good in good lighting but in low light conditions the Note 5 had better photos. Well, for me, that is. Still, I'd take the Mate 8 over the Note 5 just because the battery life is far superior.

For 1k you can easily sell off at Garage Sale. I sold mine at 1.1k.

Pros: -

- Excellent built quality
- Very fast fingerprint reader
- Good battery life
- Smooth and lag-free (disclaimer: During my usage I didn't play graphic intensive games)

Cons: -

- Official updates are slow
- EMUI - you either love it or can't stand it
- Camera is average, especially in low light conditions

Anyways, it's a good buy. I bought the phone at RM1,599 minus 12% discount at an online retailer couple of months ago, so that's about RM 1,408. So for 1.3k, I'd probably consider topping up a bit and getting a new one instead.

Yeah, I saw an ad in garage sale selling a new 4GB/64GB for RM1650. Would have considered it if I've not tried the phone yet but I had

Haha, good price bro, when you have that price for Mate 9 next year then let us know
