save you the trouble to sell the freebie. so net net 4599-300-600 = 3699 (apprx SGD1166 for 512gb).

As long as you don't have it troublesome need to go JB to service phone, fairly good deal.

Don't want MINI, pls come up with MAX version 7.2" with bigger battery. still missing mate 20x.

The curved screen of the honor magic makes the screen seem smaller, especially when compared to similar sized no-curve Samsung ultra.

Don't count on the 4 year lifespan.
Honor quality and service not on par with huawei. 2.5yr m5p battery life dropping and have dead pixel (1.5mm and growing).
Want to pay to change out also can't. Honor SG claims they no longer carry the parts for 2yr+ phone?! Fxking joke man. huawei still can change battery for 7yo mate 20 series.

Honor service Centre definitely not the best and it's outsourced to another company.

My m6p bought during launch had a green line barely 1 month into use, service centre replaced the screen but didn't do proper waterproofing. After several exchanges, honor finally honoured a 1-1 exchange.

Great phone nonetheless but m7p camera was a disaster and barely an upgrade.

So u had both m6p and m7p? U planning to get this?

This is quite concerning actually, if after a repair, it causes another separate issue.

If getting the phone from malaysia is as good as not having warranty for it (unless you are willing to travel). Isn't it better to get the china version instead since it will get updates faster.

Not really. China version no esim i think. And i suspect there'll be more issues for a china version that flashed global rom, vs a global version.

China version no esim. now you can enable GMS easily, you can ask the staff. what is needed is just an non-China simcard to enable it.

DXO Mark did a 3 article comparison of the latest flagship cams.

Ep 1 Link
Ep 2 Link
Ep 3 Link

Reallly liked the way they present the results; not about which is better, but emphasising stylistic approachesa nd the outcome.

Will be reposting this in the respective sub forums, so apologies for duplicate posts.

Actually can just buy from LB at Shopee now and use the 12% off voucher. Can get 512gb at around $1319 before coins. You get the Sony headphones + JBL Flip Essential 2 speakers. If you can sell both together at around $200. Then effectively $1119. If you have Shopee VIP, another $30 worth of coins.

LB carousell selling $1199 phone itself can consider also but shoppee defo more worth it with platform vouchers
