Honor Magic 8 Series

[kashix]

A big thanks to those of you who gave me an insight on the switch from iPhone to the M8P! I’m almost ready to pull the trigger but I have read some horror stories on our local service centre at Plaza Singapura (long repair times, creating a new issue after the initial issue has been repaired). Anyone of you with personal experience with them, care to share pls?

This one never a problem for me ... spoil just buy new one ... no need servicing ...

Best of all other non-China brand makers, it came with a charger. No worry of getting a 3rd party charger and when things happened....they don't "honor" it, but "Honor" will honor it.

Lol true that.. so far in sg Xiaomi and OnePlus flagships don't bundle chargers by default (only due PO) .. hopefully the rest don't follow suit
