If you are very sure to proceed with Telco offering, then can consider to wait for other brand to launch their new model, for eg s25 ultra is around the corner and will be followed by pixel 10, fruit and most of the brand.

Telco price doesn't really fluctuate much so I guess no harm to wait. Popular model from Samsung, pixel and apple might even got a better deal. If price is close better get those brand.

Honor software experience cannot beat those popular brand. Someone might argue better hardware this and that but that's not translated to user experience directly.

Kawan... Ini tabole laaa...
oppo x8 Find much nicer, way elegant IMHO.

Personally for me from my experience samsung and apple has not been able to give me a "worry free / minimal worry" satisfaction as compared to Huawei, thats why Honor being previously a sub brand i am willing to consider it.

No doubt the brands that have upcoming launches are perceived to be better / premium, but personally i havent had a phone from them that lasted this long (Huawei P30) for me.

Im referring to green line, battery, phone start to lag after awhile (like maybe after 2/3 years).

I do agree with your point that I dont have to rush it, coz the freebies aren't something to shout about as well.

That being said, I would love to hear any thoughts if there is any flaws to my logic too.

telco pricing not an issue (assuming like company pay, etc), then yeah, it's worth getting.

but i have read that telco now have got some SIM lock in place, so, do check if you plan to use other telco SIM, etc...

and if got SIM lock, make sure they release upon full payment.

like earlier reply, i guess taste very subjective. at times, i like those bold designs. when everything else looks so normal, the RSR stands out quite a bit.

you looking at non-Pro version? then how to compare coz we talking about Magic7 Pro..

if look at launch price, Vivo X200 Pro was about 4699.

as for specs wise, i will admit i am biased towards Snapdragon processors. regardless of how impressive mediatek seems to be now, i still somehow veer towards SD processors. i need something reliable for my work and gaming. and SD has never failed in that aspect when it comes to their flagship processors. just like how GPU got NVidia and AMD, but somehow, NVidia is the more popular one.

i guess in the end, depends on preference and budget.

for me, i'd still go with HONOR. having used quite a number of brands, i think HONOR has got the good mix of everything, even the software. some ppl say still not good, but i find it to be actually quite good. like all things, got pros and cons.

for context: i've used Samsung S series, Note series, Xiaomi and Poco flagships. Huawei and Honor. not as varied as others, but it does give me chance to compare. and i still do check out new phones as well when i happen to see test units around.

Huawei was a good phone those time before they got sanctioned. Before the current phone, I got a mate 10 pro that work without problem for many years until the power button switch fall off then I changed to my current phone.

The green line problem is still ongoing for many brands like vivo, oppo, Sammy etc etc. The brand that I always heard about line problem is Sammy but I guess is because user based is very big so we keep to heard about it and no people ever calculated how many % of each brand facing this problem. Some do claim is a natural flaw of OLED display and it happened randomly to some device.

Lagging wise I think nowadays shouldn't be an issue. The soc of flagship nowadays got so powerful that it's unlikely to lag unless some bug/poor optimisation of software. Having said that, you can just go to a mall and tried all the different brand to see which 1 you prefer before proceeding. I guess the price will be very close for all major brand.

For now I'm looking at, oppo find x8. Non pro.

snapdragon only fail on the 888 and 8gen1 , other than that really never dissapointed , but happy to see mediatek is chasing up , at least a pressure for snapdragon company to improve futher for consumer

Yea simlock is the only thing i have to pay attention to if i get a telco phone.


yea I have already tried the demo unit at Honor TRX and i think all in all am happy with product. Apart from the fact that i want the free wireless phone stand charger, theres really no need for me to rush.

Might just delay abit more and see the sammy offerings or if my phone's lifespan permits, even the pixel ones.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

If, I got the telco phone.

One main sim is telco, the other sim I use Sg sim. Ok ah?

won't be a problem.

Not really kesian, it's a good thing for us consumers...

I already monitored this since Magic 5 ... After Sept sure dropped a lot.. can buy at 3.1-3.3K

their wireless chargers are really awesome. i have the car one, and really very good. i think it's like 50W. already more than some brand wired charging. if drive back after work from KL to say Shah Alam, i think can fully charge phone di. the desk one, i think you can even put phone landscape (iirc)...

one interesting feature is the Eye Tracking. i was playing around with the demo set. after setting it up, you can test it out. it will display a bit dot at one part of the screen and you look at it.

front cam can quite accurately detect i was looking at the dot.

Bro, now I got the honour 200 pro. Can lemme know what wireless chargers to get? TQ mapren

well after killing my s20s by accident yesterday i am veering towards the Chinese finally starting with the honor 200

i am not in the limbo for fancy camera tricks like magic 7 pro lols i just need the 1.5 days heavy usage phone and higher nits only

Get the pro version.
but now I'm looking at another phone

HONOR one would work best and give you max charging...

TQ,mapren. Will go look at the price
