QUOTE(SimonsayZ @ May 29 2017, 10:52 AM) Did anyone try original Huawei Type C cables before? Does it work with our phone? LinkThis one is USB 3.0 and 5A. Overkill?  http://www.lazada.com.my/original-for-huaw...v&mp=1&rs=12118according to one of the buyer... this one also works... haha.... but 5A indeed overkill for fast charging on s8... haha

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ May 31 2017, 09:49 AM) Wrong... Camera getting worse, and display got tint. What is getting really good would be the battery life for the performance it offer. so the marks they get from dxomark is not really accurate for daily usage?  so far i see mate 9's EMUI Machine Learning Algorithm seems to be fulfilling their promises... gaming for few months already.... performance and battery standby still going strong....

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ May 31 2017, 11:36 AM) Yes, non believers especially Iphone fanboys would never believe how far android has come since their note 2 note 3 times.  but during that time... i already felt note 2 note 3 is very good already... in fact better than the iphones thousand miles in term of flexibility of usage and the pricing... and the battery is quite impressive for a smart phone for that time....

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ May 31 2017, 11:45 AM) Because u are an android fanboy.  But honestly speaking, the android ecosystem was really weak then. We had to root our phones, install custom roms and stuff. With android nowadays, I dont even bother. I have even forgot how to root my phone already. in a way the touch wiz back then reli still need improvement... the good thing of note series over the iphone during that time is the battery capacity and s-pen... haha... rooting a phone is a must during that time just like most iphone users jailbreak their iphones... haha... but then seems like alot of the android phones going back to as close as the basic android version already.... which is a good thing nowadays...

QUOTE(attw @ May 31 2017, 11:54 AM) Note 3 was good in the beginning. 6 months down the road I had all sorts of problems with it. Battery drain, software issues, Overheating, etc. It was a half-baked product then, but I certainly would not call any Android flagship a half-baked product now. The ecosystem is just a matter of individual preference. but this is only applicable to those lemon units right? i rmb my fren who using note 3 that time facing all the same issues u mentioned.... and make him lost faith in samsung and android... directly chg to iphone after 7 months of usage... sick of sending it to repair at the SC also....

QUOTE(xchris @ Jun 2 2017, 07:42 AM) guys, I am thinking of either getting a S8 or Mate 9 . What worries me about the S8 is the battery life. How is the battery life of the S8 with FB , whatsapps on the whole day but no gaming? Can it last 6.30-11pm? QUOTE In 2017 with a mate 9 you get an older tech of curve edge No iris scanner No ip68 rating No Samsung experience No big screen 6.2 inch No apps edge U get sunny optical with Leica branding without real leica performance No aod depends on whether u need the below features for an additional price of rm600-rm800... depending where u able to find the cheapest deal for both mate 9 and s8.... and s8 on paper looks the same screen size as mate 9... but the screen ratio of s8 is quite weird.... would suggest u go for s8+ for better comparison on the battery and the screen size feelings... which would be around rm800-rm1000 from a mate 9 already....

QUOTE(aimeh @ Jun 7 2017, 10:45 AM) Seriously. Been comparing for quite sometimes already. S8 with P10. Any of you mind to share some taught to me? Will be very thanks on your input. Currently using P9, which will pass to my mum after I change. beware of the godlike response from huawei haters....  straightforward response is... do you think the additional features on s8 worth the additional of rm600-rm800 if your money or not... its that easy actually....
