Btw @rinchan22 you bought your Air in China or via Taobao/Shopee? I found Taobao price is better than buying from Honor store in China. 1TB version after shipping and import tax only 1k ish but in China, it's like 1.2k before tax refund, not sure if the final price is cheaper.
Wrong person? Didn't buy it. My last honor product was in 2016 😂

Me... But I am not a heavy user and using it as my secondary phone. Went back to a fold phone for the bigger screen estate as my primary phone. Will use it for my runs and on the weekends, so much more portable, light and thin.

Bought in China Honor shop. About 1k for the 512gb, but I had a discount as my Chinese friend bought it for me (got a discount of 500rmb).

I see, how's the battery life, audio, camera? The 1TB version in China is CNY5,999 but in Taobao, it's only CNY4,988. Thinking of whether I should just get from TB or from the shop with tax refund. What's the amount of tax refund did you get? Thanks.

It's my secondary phone, so it lasts about 2-3 days before I charge.
Don't know much about the audio (I am tone deaf), & I like the cameras.
Did not get any tax refund as it was bought by a Chinese friend who qualified for their national subsidies.

Think pricing never drop much sia?
XM5 is back ~
i think they have too much XM5 stocks on hand, and probably their sales isn't that impressive and needed to give out the XM5. Realistically saying, i don't see a lot chatter about Honor, mostly Oppo, Xiaomi or even Vivo.

But in Malaysia, they quite fierce. China brand phones in malaysia quite intense fight

It is a known bugs which Honor is aware of it.

Honor ensures that its devices keep working efficiently and sends all kinds of MagicOS updates on time, but looks like Honor smartphone users worldwide are facing an unusual screenshot bug with a recent version that limits them from saving an image. https://www.huaweicentral.com/honor-smartphone-users-facing-a-bizarre-screenshot-bug/
