well.. waiting for this all while long.. i wonder is it at the market now? i go huawei store to look around did not find any

not yet. honor malaysia only mentioned launch/ sell in July.

they have not yet indicate what colours or variants will be made available (64GB vs 128GB), or even the price. though, price-wise, rumoured to be rm2099. i do wish Honor would put this below rm2k instead...

worth upgrade from honor 8?
*
i won't say it's a direct upgrade coz size wise, it's different.

if compared just size and similar specs, it would be honor8 to honor9.

with the honor8pro... it's actually a big difference in terms of size & weight.

but if you wanted something bigger, then ya... i think it's good. though, camera-wise, it should be almost similar... one video review said slight improvement over the honor8.

considering that it got SIRIM certification back in May... well, if my assumptions are correct anyway...

some prefer latest launch than older launch ma... but i agreed with u... its better to get mate 9 for the leica branding at similar price and similar spec....  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

has a similar discussion with a friend about this. to me, depends on what one prefers... it boils down to:
Slightly superior Leica camera vs 6GB RAM + 2K screen

as at now... the screen of mate 9 is superb enough.... and the RAM is capable of handling any games at high resolution also... so its depends on the user require the leica branding or not.... and in such cases... the leica branding worth almost of rm1000 extra... comparing p10plus vs honor 8 pro... haha
*
agreed. i'm one of those who feel that 1080p screen is good enough for smartphones. but there are others who can see pixels on 1080p screens.

for me, i feel the 6GB does add some value to it. camera is hopefully decent enough that leica branding can be "ignored". but ya, camera wise... kinda sad it's not using the similar setup for mate9. i guess have to wait for honor9pro... smile.gif

Crazy ... aint honor series supposed to be budget phone?

Still using Honor 7 that i got for 1.1k ....
*
in a way, it is still budget. the honor8pro is using same processor used on Huawei phones like P10 and Mate9.

if you compare it this way, it is very much budget.

latest news is.. it's rm1999. good price.. no? technically below rm2k.. lolz..

probably hitting stores around 12th July..

both Honor/ Huawei stores at IOI City Mall and Pyramid now advertise rm1999..

what I was made to understand, pre-order is more a reseller thingy.. meaning they are the ones giving out the freebies.so could be different for different resellers.

might be good to share what you've been offered..

Latest update official launch on 7-11

I wonder what freebies worth RM 636?
*
not surprised if they consist of items like original honor case, etc.. as you know, calculation of value is usually based on RRP.

freebies are offered by the resellers. so they will be different items, depending on the resellers..

on a side note, I've been trying to get more details from some of the resellers.. and I've to say that I'm very, very impressed with Huawei/ Honor IOI City Mall. responds to my Qs very promptly and very friendly. they seem very accommodating too.

if I'm confirmed getting, I'd be getting from them.

I'll still taking my time to read up more first.. since still got one week.

what I do understand (from lurking at XDAn and asking some resellers):
* it's lottery when it comes to storage tech (emmc vs ufs)
* no option to change to lower resolution (Samsung and LG got this feature)
* not much info on the device and issues since it's really limited roll out. i think only China, UK and a few European countries. and now Malaysia and India.

Everything Looks good. But the camera i'm a bit doubtful.

camera is similar setup to Honor8.

but supposedly Honor8Pro comes with Kirin960 that spots an improved image processor.

so, i guess if wanna know quality, just check the honor8 thread and camera samples.

Very good specs for its price. Camera no ois?
Will wait for more hands on reviews here before pulling the trigger.
*
no OIS. only EIS.

ya, difficult to get reviews from overseas since it's limited in terms of countries available. definitely cannot expect in-dept reviews from american sites... they only have those brief hands-on. many reviews are from UK where it's available...

locally, i guess have to wait at least next week.

i had a bit of hands on with it... and the camera... does feel like P9. but i din take photos and export to PC or anything. it was a unit at one of the resellers.

QUOTE(fkinmeng @ Jul 3 2017, 11:26 PM)
if you not urgent, might as well wait.

honor price drop quite fast, and their promo is quite frequent. wont be surprised if merdeka got promo.
*
actually, what i understand, these days, honor and huawei quite strict with their RRP. unless official price cut, else difficult. but ya, they do have roadshows, etc...

on a related note, based on freebie value, it would seem as though the margin is big enough for the resellers to give so much... i wonder... cost to manufacture is that low? heh heh...
