Yes. Huawei's store supports installing Google Play Store. Just search for it.

can any kind user confirm that this phone supports 4g+3g or is it only 4g+2g?? Thanks.

I have got the 64GB silver for a week.
Enjoyed the large screen estate. AMOLed 6.6" screen is really great
Very intensive use of the phone for a day, still left 30%+ at end of the day.
Most of the time can hit 2 days of usage.
++ for huge screen and battery life

However there's quite a number of bugs/issues on the Emotion UI 4.1, hope they can sort it out. It's not as polish as Samsung or LG

Quite a number of bloatware were installed in the phone. The video app was detected as a PUP by one of the AV that I had used.
Had disabled them all.

Hi,
Does the phone support the 4G / LTE bands in Singapore?

 

[Dorkable]

This cellphone looks awesome, especially with its 2k Super Amoled display, rarity indeed.

But the dual sim 4g/2g only setup is a letdown

Edit: noted that the charging speed is 9V/2A. Wonder if this will work with a power bank that supports the same voltage output.

Not available outside of China currently. Not sure if or when Huawei will make it available in other countries.

For those who have the cellphone, ever tried downscaling the resolution to FHD and see if there is a difference in battery life?

Haven't tried. Will do so today see how long the battery can last.

I get about 7hrs of SOT before needing to recharge again.
That's combination of mostly 3D games, FB and video watching.
Don't even need to downgrade the screen resolution

Finished testing. Around 16hours of SOT after downgrading screen resolution. Full details with ss at 1st page Post #5

Is the super amoled screen comparable to Samsung galaxy? I saw the Huawei P9 plus with super amoled screen but seems not so vibrant and vivid, even comparing with Huawei Mate 8. Just wonder if Honor Note 8 has a lower quality super amoled screen.

I find the screen too saturated in Vivid mode while Standard mode is too dull. It lacks the Adaptive mode that Samsung handsets have which is just nice.
