Can you guys recommend which one is better? im looking for one that has a great camera and also has good software upgrading prospects.
Any know of any news on this front?
I don't think there will be one, as Honor 8 is a budget device IMHO, but then again, who knows what Honor have in mind.
Isn't the Honor 5C more or less the P9 lite?

Nope that isn't happening. Only the 'P' Series have 'Lite' versions. Honor series don't have lite versions but however there could be Honor 8X or 8A or 8C or whatever Huawei wants to

There is no relation between Huawei and Honor models. Honor has no Lite models.

Specs wise I'd say the 5C is a variant of the P9 lite.

I think they're pretty close, yes. But some variants of P9 Lite have NFC, I think one variant have 3GB RAM (not sure), it has fingerprint reader and a better screen.

The 5C has NFC but no fingerprint sensor in the UK, but the Chinese models has the fingerprint sensor.
I'm sure they're the same hardware platform and customised by region. Using a different screen, software, 3 or 4GB RAM, NFC, fingerprint sensor etc.
I don't think so, from Honor's history there's no lite yet.
But who knows it may happen
i dnt think it will happen, bt am eagerly waiting for honor 6x(with dual cam)
there should be, with single cam, like iPhone series.

It might have 8A or 8C or 8i... Need to wait and see...
Let it get released in other parts of the world. Depends on the success.
Honor doesn`t have Lite models afaik because they are inexpensive allready, Huawei has some for their premium devices.
Honor 5C in Bulgaria is named as Honor 7 Lite

Hi,
Is this subforum also covering the new HUAWEI GR5 2017, because it has the same specs as HONOR 6X?
Looks like an international rebrand to me.

I think Bangladesh & Nepal too. Sri Lanka anyway doesn't get the Honor brand much the Honor 5X came as Huawei GR5 a with a Kirin processor instead of snapdragon 616.
Honor 6X = Huawei Mate 9 Lite.
I don't mind the brand, I just want this one fast (in the Netherlands).

Will it come as Mate 9 lite? Back in November I saw that it was rebranded as Mate 9 lite and huawei had a page for that phone on their website, but somehow that site isn't there anymore. I have a feeling they might go with the Honor branding

The specs are almost the same... Why have so many brands...

Huawei and Honor both have different strategy, even though honor is sub brand of Huawei. I have asked this same question to honor president in carnival and got a detailed response on this that cleared the doubts. There is good amount of difference as well in their pricing.
Huawei- higher cost, premium series phones, mostly in house Kirin processor, high end camera with their partnership with lieca
Honor- budget segment mostly (apart from Honor 8 and Magic)with mixup of Kirin and snapdragon processors, started shifting to high end and dual cameras in Honor 8, Magic..

Great explanation. Thanks. In China, there is even more sub brands of HUAWEI, so they categorize the market into more subs.

Is it Honor 6X only? If so, it will be in same section once custom roms are out. And it should support your phone also.

You can help the custom ROM process by adding information of your phone.

Hello
Has anyone tried to install the P10 camera app on the Mate 9 pro? I'm asking since I'm considering getting the Mate 9 pro. But I think it's a big shame they didn't bring the "wide apeture" feature within the monochrome mode, like they did on the P10. And it doesn't seem like they are planning to. I think it suits the monochrome pictures just as much as the color pictures. It's almost a deal breaker.
Thanks
I'd like to see the P10's "Pro Video" mode on our Mate 9 as well. Would be nice if someone could look into porting that app for us. Surely with similar hardware it shouldn't be too difficult!
Do anyone know the reason why Mate 9 pro isn't getting the extra camera features, since it's considered the flagship?
This is answer from EMUI FB:
Hi Krešimir, EMUI 5.1 will not be offered to devices that have EMUI 5.0, EMUI 4.1 or lower systems for now. Please rest assured that some of the new functions from EMUI 5.1 will be built into a debugged, featured-enhanced version of EMUI 5.0 that will be released after June 2017. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Stay tuned.
I am interested in the Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4.
Can any current owners provide some feedback?
I have the 10,8 version, a hell of a tablet, love it.

I have the 8.4 version. Seriously, the best tablet I've ever owned. Absolutely love it and use it extensively every day.
Thanks guys!!! Now I am hoping I could find a good deal on one.
I've got the 8.4 LTE, it's a great little tablet. But. 18 months since it was launched means that it's not getting any further OS updates. There'll be a couple of security patches, but no update to emui/android 10.
Short: Dont buy it.
Why? In many news you can find a Huawei EMUI 10 Roadmap where the Mediapad is always missing. I asked the German Huawei Support regarding an Update for the Mediapad M5 and they confirmed that there won't be a EMUI 10 for the Mediapad M5. Okay, its just the German Support and you newer know how much those guys really know, but it was strange that this device was basically never mentioned in any of the EMUI 10 news. So if you really are willing to buy a Mediapad M5, keep this in mind, since even without EMUI 10 its questionable how long Huawei will atleast provide Security Updates for EMUI 9.1.

FYI If you purchase a US version you will be stuck on EMUI 8.
