Hello once again guys,

I went to the stores to play around with the device and with the minimal time I had, I was quite impressed. Besides DirectD is throwing in a lot of remarkable  freebies.

I just have several more questions,

FHD resolution on a 6" screen, is it enough?

I hear a lot of negative remarks about emui. How does the users here feel? I have tried using Xiaomi's UI and really hated it. Is it similar to that?

Is P9Plus better in every single way than this?

Please advise and thanks a lot.

FHD is enough for normal viewing, but not enough for VR as you can see the pixels. I just use a cheapo Google Cardboard for that.

EMUI and MIUI is somewhat similar. I think all China phones UI is similar. No app drawer, theme choices, but the built in apps can be useful though. Easily fixed with a different launcher though.

P9 has a faster CPU. Camera should be better though lacking OIS.

I have to say, sound with earphone sounds great with Poweramp after using the built in equalizer. Speaker sound is pretty loud but distorted if you max it out. It's great at around 60% volume.

you buy the poweramp or you use crack version? I use trial version & now is expired. But the equalizer & stereo is much better than the built in player.

Bought bro. Quite a few years already. sweat.gif It's worth it. Using the Alpha version now which is even better. Yeah the EQ is way better than built in player.

SOT is depending on how you use your phone.

i get average 5+ SOT with lots of clash royale, FB, whatsapp, browsing.

if without gaming, easily reach 7+
As for A9 pro, i've ordered a unit and waiting to receive it..  brows.gif 
So can do a comparison with Mate 8 (3gb)

I'm trying to play games at 720p to see if the battery last longer when gaming haha...

And does it has the big bezel like p9?

No. People usually whine about the side bezel. But they forgot about the top and bottom bezel.

I care more for side bezel because up and down bezel got function like on screen button and notification bar. But side bezel like p9 I beh tahan lo

Since your nickname is sonyfanzz, the Z5 bezel is slightly thicker than P9. For me, i'd pick the best balance of overall bezel. But if you want really thin side bezel, i suggest you go for Elephone S3 instead.

Should be better since the screen is also AMOLED and less powerful CPU. I just find it funny that it looks like the Mate 8. laugh.gif

Makes me wonder if the Mate 9 will use AMOLED as well since they use it in P9. Very sure it will have dual camera as well.

Just bought a VR headset today, tried it on my Mate 8 and it fits just right. The screen size is amazing, however its very pixelated as its just 1080p. I guess Mate 8 isn't really future proof for upcoming VR technologies.

I use Google Cardboard. Almost didn't fit but still works. Yeah need 2K or more for VR but i prefer implementation like Sony. Just use 1080p for normal use, 2K/4K for VR.
