Best option is wait till Q4 if possible then you can get it at 3k or below without any Telco commitment or else can consider x200 pro. 2 days ago I saw the promo price is 3.8k in L platform but I think now no more already. Btw the price is 4399 now at L platform not 5.2k.

Next sales should be able to get a similar price but then that 1 is dimensity soc while m7p is snapdragon. I think the current price of m7 seem like not worth it. Anyway this is just my personal opinion, feel free to proceed if you need phone urgently and happy with the model.

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.

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.

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.
