Cash is not an issue, but I need the IR Blaster, else would have gone with samsung/iphone route. I travel alot....and the IR had helped me with office projectors, hotel controls, etc. I do use it at home as well, but I could continue with M20p for home.

I used Mate9 long ago and have handed over to my kids. Understand the bugginess, but to me, was not too bad...just the notification is temperamental and some of the settings was inconvenient.

My office did a blanket ban on Huawei/Honor, no choice there la bang!

What IR app you used to control fan?

Oic.... just keep as info because can't find Deka or Rezo fans.

Basically we have to register our phone at the Akamai layer of security to use the phone to access our office network. hence the blacklist is maintained there. Phone which doesnt have the minimum 2021 security patch was evaluated early this year and both these phones was found doesnt have the latest security patch. Hence they had banned both the phones.

Yeah, all these my phone was working fine connecting to office network, tapi this new security level implementation, basically disallows me from connecting to office.

Most likely thinking of getting a used X80 Pro at this point, since the price is not justified for the model, unless I can get it from Digi. Already written to them, lets see.
