Huawei Mate 8 - The True Successor

[zhaoshanhe]

I did some calculation. Starhub and M1 cost exactly the same over 24 months. One is more pricey in phone, the other in contract. Does it come with a Huawei watch or some wrist thing?

i jus recontracted with M1 and no freebies like Huawei watch were given. guess its was a launch promotion or it show promotion.

Edge is gimmick. Why bother?

Can i check whether any bro here feels the power button is a bit wobbly compared to the volume button?

In my set, i feel so.. Volume buttons are much protured and firm. But power key is bit recessed and wobbly..

is it like that in most of the sets??

Just purchase my huawei mate 8!, I understand what you mean by wobbly. But is normal I tried the demo and 2 open set. Is not very wobbly just slightly loose compare to the volume button ( Which is also moving Abit)

Thanks bro.. Now i feel a bit good.. As your u mentioned, its not very wobbly but certainly a bit loose.. Not a biggy but wanted to make sure its like that in most of the sets

Congrats on your new phone.

Is not gimmick n much improved over previous S6e. If one uses it is quite an useful tool
I had both Mate8 m S7e
Overall S7e is a better performance phone, very much better camera n it's display is nicer too. Only it cannot match Mate8 battery life ( for me 10-11 hours SOT) vs S7e (7-8).

Anyone know how to disable the screen for auto dimming during surfing ? Auto brightness already off. But whenever I exit app the screen goes back to normal.


edit: found the solution under battery performance.

Overall the phone is quite impressive. Bring me back to z ultra era.

under battery performance which one?????

Under battery manage - power plan. By default is smart hence they will auto dim the screen when you using apps. If you switch to performance the screen brightness will follow your settling.

But using performance, the battery will drain faster right

Same here.
Day 4 now.
I never saw any message about updating OS.

Jazz, your phone came with firmware older than NXT-L29C636B170? And batt was better?

 

[jazzman80]

yes, when I bought this phone, firmware wasn't ending with 170.
you guys just try it first, I guess you should be satisfied with the battery.

I'm on 50% with about 7hrs SOT. WhatsApp group chat always on (always running) as well as wechat (occasional). not a gamer.

How to disable telco bloat apps in Mate8?
For samsung phones, i keyed some number combi in dial pad and switch the code to international and all telco apps will be gone. Can we do that with Mate 8?

Not saying edge phone is gimmick, but that particular "edge" is gimmick, SS's gimicky marketing strikes again.

Daily tasks speed test between Mate 8 and Edge phone are on par. If benchmarking, Edge surely wins due to the better gfx chip.
