For me $638 .... but I have no choice because I wanted to sell off Mate7 but no shop take (some shop offer me $100) ..... then manage got this shop offer me $350 on MATE7..

So net topup is $288 ...........

So far positive feedback

1) Real slim and light --
2) Octa Core Antutu 38000
3) Wifi file transfer at AC for me reach 30MB/s. Really fast.
4) Like holding a Iphone6+......

Negitive

1) No Xda developer session
2) No LED notification
3) Cannot double tap and wake up screen.

Just got mine a few days ago. So far battery life is comparable to Note 4. It's pretty good, It definitely last more than a day for normal use for me. I'm quite happy to choose this one.

Hi,
So have you been using the dual sim functionality? Or you have been using the single SIM only?
THanks for the info.

Which shop offered you 350 for your mate 7?

Urs is 2gb ram or 3gb RAM version?

I am also planning to sell my mate 7 and switch to another phone.

Thanks.

I got the 2nd sim card at 4pm today so can't really say although so far it looks like there is no serious difference in battery consumption.

My antutu is 50k. Why yours so low.

Phone is really light and slim for a big screen 5'7. Performance is great, no lag or stutter. Camera is quite good. Overall a worthy purchase.

 

[waterballoon]

dunno if I should sell my 32GB S5 and buy A8. anyone who had both can give some input?

[BERSERK1980]

Comes in 2 variants. The snapdragon variant should be inferior.
