Hey guys, I was about to decide on the LG V20 already till I came across this Mate 9. I can't decide on which to get. Currently using LG G3, battery sometimes always heat up for no reason. In army I used a Huawei P1 Ascend non-cam, and it served me well.

In terms of price when I recontract, Huawei is $30 cheaper only. Any recommendation?
went to replace my nexus 6p for batt. send in the afternoon n told me need 3 days max. requested for replacement phone with no issue. later that day about 7pm. phone ready for collection liao.

Just buy the Mate 9. LG phone can't last more than a year.. Some people complain about the lag in V20 also.

The Mate 9 is my daily driver and I like it a lot, but seriously your sweeping statement above is nonsense. LG can't last a year? :s8: It's also your luck lah....Wah Lao.

I am using G4 for more than 1.5 years before I brought my Mate 9.

In term of battery life. it's better but I still need to monitor.

The only noticeable difference is my G4 is hot as compare to my Mate 9 is cooling.

In terms of operation, they are both ok.

But if you are using your phone as a mp3 player, then the V20 would be a better choice. Some also claimed that it's camera is also better.

What DAC u use, how the DAC work ? right from folder to USB to DAC ? not going thru the internal dac n amp.

Mate 9 sound is not that good, n is like not so match with my ear phone.
My DAP is Fiio X1 Gen 2 with Fiio E17k AMP. I don't listen to music from my phone unless I'm using my Samsung Level U Pro Bluetooth earphones.

I am on singtel too ( all though not a singtel set ) but still stuck on 136 , how is the battery on 138 ? for me on 136 the battery sucks specially the phone idle is the highest consumer.

Ooo.. Right. I am using G3 for 2years already. The back part can be so hot sometimes difficult to touch it especially the metal button for unlocking the phone. If Mate 9 is cool to touch, i think it'd be great. Guess I'm settling down with this phone!

I am not sure about 136 as I updated straight to 138.

I only can said when it's idling. Meaning I closed all the applications. My full 100% only dropped maybe 1% after 4 hours.

Normal surfing, whatsapp and playing of POGO dropped from 100% to 66% in 3 hours.

If solely playing POGO can last me 6 hours and still left 50% battery on the conservative side.

I thought my G4 back part hot is because it's leather.....................:s22:

Quite surprised your G3 metal also hot.

I'm using this at office. OK ar no issue..slow charge only

Slow charge meh, I find it pretty fast.

But if you wanted to cable to charge using power bank. I will recommend this 10cm short stiff thick cable.
