Struggling to decide which phone to get. Mate 8 or P9+ or HTC 10. But i think HTC 10 is out of my thought already. Price is RM 3299 in malaysia... Way out of my budget...

Is Mate 8 a good phone? i heard some complaints about the phone camera and also the speaker of te phone is no good. Is this true?

Camera is good enough for me...it is however not in the class of S7e or LG V10. Most of camera reviews on Web was based on early development builds n inaccurately report those camera issues. If you are a camera geek than S7e n V10 is a better choice. It's camera equally good as Note5, Nexus 6p
Speaker problem  - no such issues
Why don't you go and test it yourself to assess better

Uncle Benny,
I have tried the phone. It's good enough for me but the camera i can tell. The shop owner tell me to wait for P9. so i also don't know lo.

U cant give a proper rating unil u use the phone for at least a week or so.

Thats what i did. I bought the m8, used it for a week before deciding to offload my n5.

Once u are used to it, then it becomes fine laugh.gif

Thanks for the advise. I think i will wait for P9+ and see how was the price la.

From the view of HTC Fans

Pro

- Simple UI
- Superb Great Battery Life
- Big and beautiful Full HD Screen
- Premium Build

Con

- I think Sense UI is best UI of all smartphones, you might need time to get used to EMUI, for me..Sense UI ofcourse is better.
- Update might be slow compare to HTC
- Less custom roms in XDA, if you are not a flasher then i think it will not affect
*
Totally agree with you. My main concern is still Sense UI vs EMUI.

No serious cons

Minor cons :

- you might need to get used to HW UI . If you don't like just use any 3rd party launcher but than you lose the flexibility to change to any of its large variety of themes
- camera is not that super excellent but is good enough for most common folks. Just don't compare it to S7e or LG v10 which has to date the best camera in its class
- display is only 1080p but seriously I cannot see any significant differences with those 2K display phones unless one has microscopic vision !!
- well it is 6 inches display and not everyone can accept such a big display size ??

Stop looking if you are trying to find the perfect 10/10 phone - it doesn't exist. Even on the renown iphone 6s+ ( which I have) I can write a full essay why it is still imperfect
*
Thanks for the advise. Appreciate it a lot. Just that i am still wondering between Mate 8 and P9+... don't know should i wait for it or not. HTC will definitely not going to be my choice anymore because of the high budget needed which i feel it's not worth it.

If compare between Mate 8 and P9+, which one you all suggest? i think the difference is only limited to the few below.

6" IPS Neo vs 5.5" Super Amoled
Camera 16MP vs Leica Duo 12MP
Battery 4000 vs 3400

If the price for P9+ is about 2k++ would it be a better choice since the rest of the specs is not much different.

i doubt p9+ will be that cheap by looking at how the P9 being priced at RMB3688 (4GB+64GB variant) RRP in china compare to Mate 8 at RMB3699 (4GB+64GB variant) RRP in China. the P9 may be superior in its camera, but i find the camera on the Mate8 is decent enuff for me. if i want real image quality, i still have my dslr and mirrorless camera for serious photography. What good does powerful camera brings when your phone runs out of battery earlier? just my 2 cents. smile.gif

Not sure. Just see later. Now talk also no use. This is the info provided by Huawei worker that i ask.

Optical image stabilization - this will reduce/or even eliminate shake effects while taking any camera shot

So this should be a very important features for camera lo. P9 with Leica also don't have such a features? How can it be?

It is not Leica lens. The lens is made by Sunny.

Leica is only selling it brand to Huawei and do some calculation on it only.

Leica is not first time doing this. Long ago Leica already sell it brand name to Panasonic and Panasonic camera don't have such quality.

From nows on, I won't look into Leica brand in others company product anymore as it is not made by them.

So is it the P9 going to be so great on it's camera? since all the huha on it is the Leica camera on it.

That only beginning. Now nearly every site report the lens is not made by Leica.

From review the image quality is OK but not the best ams suffer from slow focus and capture.

What a shame... Put the Leica big name on the phone and in the end it's not a leica product...

how  much u bought it ? what colour? delivery took how long?

I have actually search over 11street, Lazada, Lelong...etc, the online purchase price for 3GB/32GB is about RM1850+/-.

If you go to Huawei shop, you can actually get better offer in terms of free gift if you have the need of them and in total may get more than RM250 savings. I have ask before.
