Huawei Mate 9

[Zon]

I like the rams of the pro... But I still prefer the fingerprint scanner at the back.

From a s6 edge front scanner to a p9. I very much prefer at the back. Very natural for 2nd finger to unlock when holding the phone.

Finger print scanner on back means you must lift up you phone to unlock. On the front it is also easier to unlock with different fingers when your hands are wet.The best mix is still the sides.

The Pro looks like a Note7 so i hope it also have capacitative front and multi-task buttons, this will mitigate the effect of smaller screen. Software buttons take up screen space too.

Main desires of Pro is the 6GB ram for long term 2 years, and 128GB storage is faster than 64GB.

never tried side unlock for fingerprints.
but S6 had issue with wet fingers when unlock, need extra effort to wipe dry.
P9 doesnt have. very rarely i encounter unless its dripping wet.

some people have biased vew...need to sell out the commitment of mate 9

 

[cybertech]

even chinese reviews say mate 9 too much like mate 8....pro is a better buy

of course bear in mind prices in singapore are higher than China

Wonder when mate 8 will drop it price.

Those who drive car and place their phone in the grip stand will appreciate front fingerprint sensor, even though most of cars nowadays have car kit.

Currently just number only. I got used to it actually make me clear notification faster because irritated.

Someone told me unofficially they will have
Firmware update for that to make it have icon.

Played with the phone and actually I thought not too bad. When you swipe down you can see all notification.

Bought mine from Best Denki Takashimaya. Gifts as stated above. Worth it. I provided my name and contact to Huawei shop at Plaza SG, cos they say they will contact me once stocks are in. Obviously, they didn't. Thanks to those who shared where to buy.

Called HN and Best, I think the difference of free gift is the 64GB (HN) vs 32GB (Best) Micro SD Card.

According to Best, the Huawei PowerBank, Huawei Smart View Flip Case and Huawei Color Band are given by Huawei...the Micro SD Card & Bluetooth Earpiece is by Best.

I wanted the Grey color, called HN Suntec but was told only Jurong Point & Bukit Panjang have it.

In the end, called Best Vivo and got the last set of Grey. Saw another guy making enquiry when I was unwrapping the phone for checking.
