I just got my Mate 8 delivered a few days ago after really liking the Mocha Brown color. The problem is the photos online look like a much deeper brownish mocha color than the actual phone is. I was a little disappointed but the phone is still very nice. Here are some pics of the phone in Mocha Brown. Notice in the light it almost looks like a dull gold and in low light it looks slightly more brown but nowhere near in the online photos. The last photo is the online photo of the color I thought it would be.

Mocha Gold isn't an official Huawei color definition...
They only are:
http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/worldwide/mate8/specifications.htm
for NXT-L29:
- Moonlight Silver
- Space Gray
- Champagne Gold
- Mocha Brown
for NXT-L09:
- Moonlight Silver
- Space Gray
IMHO your Mate 8 is probably the Champagne Gold version.
I have the brown to it says on box bronze .deffo not the gold it is the brown putalot paler

I have the NXT-AL10 model in the Mocha Brown (some sites call it Mocha Gold) It's definitely not nearly as brown as in the photos.

yep i have made the same experience. this definitely is the mocha brown color (and indeed some shops and sites refer to it as mocha gold) and it doesnt look as brown in real life as in the press pics. it still is way more interesting than the other color options if asked id have to say that it rather resembles a bronze color in real life

Look at the label on the box, there should be printed the Mate 8 color (on mine there is).

Yep, says Mocha Gold on it. In the photos from Huawei it looks much more brownish orange than in real life. Yeah it's almost a bronze color.
Well, then also Mocha Gold is an official Mate 8 color from Huawei.
Now I wonder if Mocha Brown color actually exists and if somebody has found that color printed on the label...

They are pretty much the same lightness except the Mocha has a "hint" of brown and by "hint" I mean very subtle.

Yup Gold is nice but its too flashy lol. Thanks
I'm Gold Mocha, Mocha Brown Mocha Gold is the same. Dark golden color, like Nescafe Gold
The volume and power keys are gold, as well as the narrow margin around the phone
Huawei is master of false advertisement. First the black frame around the screen that they make a lot smaller on official images, and then the Moca Brown that hardly looks brown at all in real life.
well, it actually depends on the lighting...if u really want to, u can make the mocha brown look like in the press release pics

I'm really liking some of the photos posted of combinations everyone has come up with, for their customized Moto X S/PE. When your new device arrives. Please post photos here of your new Moto, for everyone to enjoy .
Here's a photo of the back of mine. I could not get my old M7 to take a good shot of the front .
But it's white front, champagne trim, champagne accent and black leather back.
Depending on the viewing angle, the champagne looks silver.
Front- Black
Back -Deep Sea Blue
Trim -Metallic Champagne

http://m.gsmarena.com/huawei_p9_now_available_in_dark_red_or_blue_-news-20288.php
Definitely would've picked the red one if it had been available earlier...
Are these sandblasted metal (like the grey and silver) or brushed metal (like the gold)? I prefer sandblasted metal as it's less blingy and less prone to smudges and fingerprints.
Saw they released a rose gold recently. 6 colours now to choose from.

I went with the Mocha Gold option, and I was really hesitant before ordering. In person it looks much more subtle than some of the pictures and videos online were totally off. From the back, in certain light, it almost looks like a softer rose gold? But every time I look at it in different light it looks different. Overall I am really happy I went with it though.
What do you think of the color options? Which color did you get?
I need to see in person. Seems cool, but if too gold or brown not so much. A bronze though might be cool. Anyways not much help as I can't really say anything other than curious until I see in person.
I got white and put black protector on screen so it is black front and white back like the Nexus phones. Such a small thing but really looks tons better. I would have gone for silver or grey but hard to tell not seeing them in person, a deep rich grey would be nice though. Love this as is though, just wish the bottom black bezel covered the nameplate completely or had oval cutout rather than rectangular cutout - looks less polished with the rectangular cutout but can't find any that are otherwise.

I wanted to go with the Space Grey originally, but the 6 GB 128 GB premium version was only offered in Mocha Gold or Gold. Overall it looks almost nothing like the pictures, but they did the colors very well and I am impressed. Its more of a softer or low-key gold than brown, not quite rose gold, but darker.
Still would have preferred the Space Grey as its more of a minimal clean look, but meh, it still looks very good. :silly:
I originally got Gold but it has a shiny coat on the back which I didn't like. Swapped it for a Mocha with a matte finish on the back and loving it.

Hi,
I am confused about the colours available in Mate 9. I went to the shop and liked Mocha Brown and Space Grey, but I am confused between them. Which one did you get ?
Any real world pictures would be nice too...
Thanks.
I bought the Space Gray US model because the screen is black which I like. The back I don't care what color it is because I always use a case. Mate 9 Space Gray is on the left, Mi Max in gold is on the right. I had the Mate 8 in Mocha Brown and it was almost a gold color, not very brown.

Likewise, I also want my device front to be black and as per the backside, if it is beautiful, why not ?
Currently I am using a Sony Xperia Z3 in Copper and it is so beautiful, I keep it naked. Even if gets somewhat scratched.
Hence, I am confused as to which color to go for... But hey, thanks for your valuable input.
I have mocha brown. It's the only colour Huawei distribute in New Zealand. Imo they all look pretty good though, it's really just a matter of personal preference.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
The models with the dark front are best. You can see the screen black border with white color.
I settled for Space Grey in the end. The rear side is grey and the front is black. It may be conservative, but looks good on this phone.
I got the Champagne Gold and its stunning. It really looks so classy. And with the right case on it.....WOW!!

Btw. that include case is a bad joke. It looks and feels so cheap. Also after 2 days the glossy plastic is full of scratches.

Flossy black!
I know it's only 16 votes so far but I am surprised that bronze and black share the lead right now. Bronze was heavily promoted by Samsung and tech bloggers seem to love it. I ordered that colour even without seeing it in real life, hope it lives up to the hype!
I like the bronze but it only comes in black for 512gb
Got Black as it's the only way to get 512Gb.

I'm curious on how Samsung marketing works. Why do they release certain colors on certain models. I got the bronze 128 but would have loved it in 128
Sent from my IN2017 using Tapatalk
Got black for 512GB but I also feel (from the pics I have seen) that the bronze looks to close to rose gold. It's great to see so many people like the mystic bronze but it's just not my style, I'm more boring and always liked black. All my vehicles have either been black or white (tied at 2 a piece for white and black but my first car was grey so in the middle of the 2, lol). Also after I strayed from black phones to the coral blue Note 7 I feel cursed to stray from black again lol. Anyway, 512GB only on mystic black also forces my hand even if they had another colour. Why they don't make both colours optional 512GB is stupid but it's Samsung.

I agree. I really like the Mystic Green color, but it's only on the smaller note. And on top of 512GB in black only, no 256GB in the US ?
What irks me is that they'll release more colors later. Why not release all of them?
After going with Aura Glow last year on the Note 10+, I found myself wishing I had gone for Aura Black. I just love the look of the all black slab with the screen off. But I also HATE the greasy fingerprints on black, and I've been wanting a matte phone forever. I actually have a matte clear skin on the rear of my Aura Glow Note 10+, which made it just an irridescent silver color.
So I was all set on Mystic Black and had no interest in bronze. But after seeing it was a matte finish, I began looking a little closer at it. I finally pre-ordered it in bronze last night. After looking at it in person at Best Buy today, I feel confident I made the right choice. It really has a premium look to it, and I didn't really get a rose gold vibe from it. Plus if I get sick of it, I'll put a white skin on the back, which will look amazing with the bronze frame and camera mountain.

That's great to know that you got to see it in real life, a lot of reviewers say that the colour looks better in real life. Cameras seem to make it look more rose gold than bronze. I blindly ordered mine in Bronze because of the praise it was getting in reviews. So thank you for confirming I made the right choice )

Retailers often promote whatever they find themselves with a surplus of.
I was going to get the white, but went with bronze due to the matte finish. Was slightly tempted to the black only for the 512GB, but I have 128 in my current S20 Ultra and I don't use it all, plus will have an SD card waiting for the phone.

That's true of retailers trying to shift stock, but that doesn't apply in this case as we are talking about a product that's not released yet.
They promoted Aura Glow last year and it quickly became the 'must have' colour based on the feedback from reviewers. I still love it. So bronze is also taking the same reviewers by storm. I am confident it will still be the most popular, black being also popular but probably only because of the limitation on the 512Gb variant.
.
i was sold on the bronze but went and saw it in person and didnt like it as much.
if I get one i will import a 512gb mystic white one likely since the dipshits at samsung only sell 512gb in black in Canada again this year.
I ordered Mystic bronze. It looks really nice in pictures.
Ordered bronze 128gb with 512 gb SD card $79. For the win ha.
