Guys, any good case to recommend?
I bought this case to try few days ago and will update next week. Hope it's good.

I got the Netflix error again yesterday. I think error code 5.7.0 and 5.10.0 if I remember correctly. Had to reboot the phone. But the reboot was fast. But it's an irritating issue.

The smart capacity battery feature looks deceiving to me. I enable it but just heck it and charge until I remember to plug off the cable.
Anyone noticed changes in battery life when it's disabled?
Yup. The error randomly occured for me. Sometimes it happens when I switched from the inner to outer screen, sometimes it happens when I use other apps then resume Netflix. Was really annoying for me. Restart and it solves it for awhile before it came back.

Battery life I wouldn't say it's super good too despite the newer technology. I think their OS is not optimized.

Looks good...how much is SGD?

Edit: I found a "similar" design and look in Shopee. The price is $27 for 9.9 sale.

I had this case, the front cover comes with a tempered glass but this case is very heavy.
The case I ordered is a different case. Taobao has English language capabilities now, you can register an account and look at the cases.

Honor's warranty is pretty awesome!!! It has been confirmed that Singapore customers will enjoy the same perks as Malaysia. :)



Just need to pay a small labor fee (about S$26+) for "unlimited" screen replacement during the warranty period. Worry-free? If so, why are do we need to baby this phone. Might as well use it "naked"...and test out Honor's so-called "worry-free" warranty.

I went to Honor Service Centre @ PS last week... the guy says no stock for the factory pasted SP (exterior). asks me if I want to pay instead for a 3rd party customed cut SP... I said no thanks.

say will call me when got stock. till today still no call.

if any of you happen to pass by... can help chase or ask them :o

not sure why such a new phone already no stock for a simple thing like exterior SP... or are they just trying to avoid replacing the SP for free? :rolleyes:

The local distribution and service centre run by third party company...did they give you an eta of the sp? If not, better to get other SP instead..

no eta... the service quite sloppy tbh. the guy just took down my number on a piece of paper and said he'll call me when the stock comes.

they don't even have a proper registration system like what Oppo or any other major brands have. quite surprised - is Honor still a newbie in SG? I thought they're a breakaway from Huawei, so should be better resourced.

anyway, idk where to buy and get SP done locally for v5. most ahbeng stores I see carry only 3rd party SP which are custom cut...

Thanks for the update...this is indeed "fishy". I recalled V3 and V5 screen size is different. Give Honor the benefit of doubt that the V5 is a "new" phone and the factory is ramping up the production of these "new" SP. I may be dropping by Plaza Sing next week. I will ask around the availability.

I only know that TelecChoice Int'l Pte Ltd (TCI) is the authroised distributor for Honor devices sold in Singapore. Maybe can drop them an email to find out more.

I have checked with my source who in turn checked with his "source". His "source" description fits what Honor (Malaysia) is doing...at least to my understanding.

I have not tried their sp, i saw can pick up at their stores, perhaps can ask them paste the sp for you - https://www.richment.com.sg/collections/screen-protector-for-honor-magic-v5

I saw this when I was Googling. But this is 3rd party right?
Yes, it is a 3rd party SP. I think Honor's original SP is fine except it attracts lint at some degree but otherwise I like the "feel" of it. I'm not sure about this Richment SP but do tale note that the phone has a curved screen on the right edge and usually tempered glass screen will have issue sticking to the edge. It tends to fail after prolonged use. Unless you are going to use a front case.

If "your" source says he is right...then we will take your version as the truth. Forget my version. Frankly, no one really knows which is true UNTIL some poor soul try it out.
