Battery is my main issue. mate 8 can sustain my constant youtube streaming. S7 cant.
*
totally agreed with that...
s7e drop fast with streaming....
maybe cause screen resolution?
my mate 8 still going strong with 10%/hour in streaming...

Surprisingly most of the reviews favour s7 for better battery life in YouTube streaming
*
reviews in newspaper and youtube always biased and sponsored....I've never trust into those...
better ask uncle benny or other ppl here as they can tell you what it's like in real life usage... and I mean real...
that's matter most....
for example... antutu benchmark.... higher points = better
but I've compare it to few brand that have way higher points than mate 8 but much worse in performance....
not that I assume mate 8 is perfect....
it does have cons as average speaker, average screen resolution,average camera... but it's still depends on personal perspective...
to me, camera,screen is very satisfying for me although speaker do perform a bit low 'mono' than my expectations...
what I hope is getting an update for emui 4.1 via ota ASAP!

previously after a screenshot, it will appear on screen for a short time (5 seconds maybe?) for u to either share, delete, or scroll screen shot.

now mine doesnt even have that option. it goes straight into gallery. if i wanna share, i gotta go into gallery and click it, and share it.

i reflash b320 again. same effect. gonna try b321.

anyone got link to download? thankyou  notworthy.gif
*
probably in b320 the effect gone? I still have it in b180...

Waiting for OTA could take a long long time. Since B180, we had seen updates with b191, b320 and latest is b321
Just download firmware and flash manually : see post#4

Strange issue you have there ! I could easily change these and there is no change in its format vs b180. Could you had disabled your themes app?

if I update manually, will I get ota update in the future?
my build is NXT-L29C636B180

Hi guys. I've been using xperia z5 for awhile. quite a letdown in term of sot since I had experience with xperia z2 with great sot and zuk z1 also with great sot. been missing the greatness of the battery since then.

been eyeing for this mate 8 for awhile now. So, would you guys recommend to jump from my current fone to this huawei mate 8?
mostly coz im interested with the battery life and size is great for a 6 inch phone.

many thanks for reply.
*
u won't regret jump to mate 8!

Hello everyone,

I am keen on trying out the mate 8 but I have a few questions.

Does this device have fast charging? Hows the music performance (speaker and earphones). Is the camera really as mediocre as stated by all reviews?

Lastly, if I am a heavy gamer and watch videos a lot, is the 3GB ram sufficient?
*
fast charging = yes!
speaker quite loud but a bit distorted when in max volume...
but earphone quite good...
better go for 4gb variant if u're a heavy gamer....
I'm a heavy video streamer too....
volume at half, brightness at 75% youtubing for 10 hours straight.... still got 13% left! 😘😘😘
never reached that sot in other brand b4...
as for camera.... not mediocre.....depends on your standard ...
not a big fan of selfies or snapping but I still amazed by it...
not much of a difference with note 5 except for slower focus and low light pic..... go give it a try at Huawei store and u'll get what I mean....it's a worthy buy model...

I sold my s7 edge for the mate 8 because i could get longer battery life on the huawei. No doubt s7 is great but have been using samsung since note 1, kinda bored of their UI.

This is my 2nd mate 8. I dont know abt z5 but have super bad exp with z1 and will nv touch a sony ever again.

Mate 8 has fantastic battery life. Perfect for someone like me, who isnt office based. Camera not as awesome as samsungs but suffice. Overall rating is 8/10

both ur mate 8 also mocha brown?

Why didnt buy brown?

sample model didn't have brown....
I buy via gemfive... based on pic... looks nice but a bit dull in real life ... anyway it's a small problem.... what I need most is battery optimization and snappy performance....

You have an very good comment on the Mate 8. I am considering on this phone too. May i know how long u use the Mate 8? Is there any lagging issue so far? I am quite concern on this part, especially after we use the phone for 1 year, many files inside and make it very lag....
*
been using it for almost 3 month....
haven't encounter lag nor bug at all....
the best in this phone is battery optimization
and I do agree with uncle benny... by far the coolest phone and I mean temperature.. no matter what you using it for except u using it as gps

still got 48% left after using for a whole day with 4 hours sot involved 3 hour off screen music and I'm still on b180 version...
a lot of them here say in b320, battery optimization is better!

Nobody seems to commenting on batt. life on B190, but it has been released for quite some while now. Is it any better to downgrade to this version instead?
