So I couldn't find a Moonlight Silver Mate 8 that is 4GB, 64GB, only Champagne Gold or Mocha Brown and I really hate those colors. Is Mate 8 even made in Moonlight Silver for 4GB, 64GB variant? Because their site does say that NTX-L29 comes in Moonlight Silver but I only found 3GB, 32GB like that.
You pretty much answered your own question. Sadly the only two colors for 64gb address gold and mocha. ****ty but I've gotten used to my 6" gold bar
mocha brown is pretty sweet actually...

Like jbmc83 said the Mocha Brown is pretty nice. I do wish all models had the colored backs but a black front, but oh well.

Huawei is expected to launch a smartphone, the P9 with Kirin 950 chipset and 6GB RAM. Don't you think that it is overkill.
Huawei P9
Nope i think its amazing, what would you rather have 1 GB of ram or 6GB, i would go for the 6GB, can't wait to upgrade from the Huawei P7 to the P9, but the price will be ugly, I just hope it stays under 6.3MM thin and possibly a slightly bigger battery but keep the thinness.
Any1 found page where to pre-order P9 ceramic white?
I think huawei P9 is too expensive .

Greetings,
I was wondering if you guys could confirm the aunthenticity of this or not. http://www.pompmall.com/huawei-mediapad-x2-4g-lte-android-5-0-octa-core-7-inch-phone-tablet-2gb-16gb.html
I have bought from pompmall.com before (P8max), but i only thought the X2 came in 2GB/16GB and 3GB/32GB
Also i see a 32GB silver verion which i've never even seen before.
Thanks
If you as me is loving the design of the Mate 9 Porsche but not the price, there is good news. The Mate 9 Pro has been released today in Scandinavia at a event held in Copenhagen. The Mate 9 Pro is basically the Mate 9 Porsche without the Porsche branding, and at around half the price.
The Mate 9 Pro was released in China a few weeks ago, but it is great to see it released in Europe.
Avalible for preorder now, delivery starts on 20. of december.
Price 5.999 DKK (appx. 800 EUR) for 128 GB version. Preorders includes a pair of Huawei AM185 Active Noise Cancelling earphones.
Full specs: http://consumer.huawei.com/dk/support/products/technicalspecs/mate9pro-dk.htm
It's a nice phone but the screen size is to small for my tastes. Hopefully they will still release the same specs with a 5.9 inch form factor.

Yep, 5.9 a must have!

I like a Mate series screen to be big ha ha
Quad HD would have been nice but full HD is good too in real life if you don`t use VR.
Any online shop taking preorders?

Currently it is only available for pre-order. It will be delivered from december 20. It can be pre-ordered from most of the mobile service providers and a few tech-shops like http://www.elgiganten.dk/product/mo...T9PGY/huawei-mate-9-pro-smartphone-128-gb-gra and http://www.wupti.com/produkter/mobil,-gps-og-foto/mobiltelefoner/huawei/huawei-mate-9-pro-gold. I don't think they ship internationally thu, and the mobile service providers definitely dont.
The phone will probably be available from more shops after it becomes available for delivery.
It doesn't support SD card slot though. Neither does the Porsche edition apparently. They claim it's due to support for 3G/4G on the second SIM but from what I understand the regular Mate 9 does support both. Just wanted to throw that out there.
I'm currently strongly considering picking it up but I'm deeply concerned about dev support considering the Kirin SoC, multiple SKUs with varying specs and potentially few devs picking up the device due to price and availability.
The pro variant including porsche design scored less in performance and graphics compared to the full fledged Mate 9.
So choose what you want in your Mate 9. Performance or Looks.

That's a given. HIgher resolution display and the same chip in a bigger device usually gives a higher thermal headroom resulting in better benchmark scores but the difference should be negligible.

You know , I sold my Mate 9 for the only purpose of buying the Pro variant with 6gb/128 configuration.
Well until someone confirms that we can get a pro with Google play installed officially.

Well, as this thread indicates, the Pro can be bought with Google Play installed
(However, it will be released on December 20th, so that's a long way to go if you intend to install the Scandinavian ROM on what I assume is a Chinese variant?)
In fact, If I buy the Mate 9, I can only buy the Pro unless I buy from another EU country. The regular Mate 9 has not been launched in Scandinavia which disappointed many and they said at the time that they had no intentions of bringing it here. Fast forward three weeks and the Pro was announced to launch and the Pro will be the only Mate 9 variant in the Scandinavian market. So I'm guessing that the Pro might only be on the market in China and Scandinavia which makes me question the development for the device :/
It saddens me a bit that the Pro will actually be a step back in some regards compared to the regular variant: no SD card slot and slightly decreased SoC performance (as you mention), fewer color variants (only two colors for this market: gold and grey) - and some would say the fingerprint scanner moving to the front is a downgrade as well. I also saw some disappointment in the AMOLED display not being a 6" (or larger) one; the complaint being they wanted an actual big phone but I don't mind too much personally. I have a 5.2" device now and it already slips out of some of my pockets due to the size, so a 6" behemoth wouldn't help in that department
They probably couldn't source a decent AMOLED display at that size although I'm curious as to how well calibrated the display is. Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers haven't been known for their attention to that kind of detail. Samsung, the Pixel and the OnePlus 3(T) have well calibrated AMOLED displays but the rest of the market seems to neglect that.
Call me guilty, I put my Pixel XL for sale and bought a Mate 9 (second time after the gold M9) with my favorite color Space Grey (no more silly black borders).

Congratz! I knew you would come back...
Well, I bit the bullet and pre-ordered the Huawei Mate 9 Pro in Space Grey. So I'll be getting a nice Christmas present.
I just hope development for this device will pick up because it will certainly prolong the life of the device; however it does seem from reviews that it's a great device.
I'm coming from an LG G2 which has been somewhat of an underground success with a fantastic developer community around it, so I doubt any non-Samsung/Nexus/Pixel/OnePlus device can live up to that but hopefully it will be enough
I have the Porsche Design and placed alongside my mate 9 the screen size difference is negligible due to the on screen navigation buttons on the mate 9.
What new big phones has anyone seen that compares to the Huawei Media Pad/Honor X2? I'm only interested in phones that are over 6.3 inches....
PS: Moderator... Please don't move this post to "off Topic"
The Mediapad M3 is a good choice. It already has 6.0, is on betaprogram for 7.0, has stereo and fingerprint and is in the same price range as the x2. It can be rooted, but there is no developer, who customized it to have extended features like AJ did for the X2. He took the Chinese KangVIP version for the x2 and transformed for international usage. But there is no KangVIP addition for the M3, as far as I know.
The other thing is that the m3 has no ear speaker, so all your calls will be heard in room by other people. So the usage of headset is mandatory.
My device: 701->703 B212 KangVIP AJ Xposed
I actually have had the MediaPad M3 8.4 for 6 months now but I am finding it a little big now. If I use it for longer periods my hand gets cramped from holding it.
Also the lack of an ear speaker is sometimes inconvenient.
Before the M3 I had the MediaPad M2 8.0 and before that the MediaPad X2 7.0.
I am now considering getting an X2 again because I can get it quite cheap.
But the best option would probably be the Honor Note 8. It's got a faster CPU than the M3, 4Gb RAM, up to 128GB ROM, 2.5d 6.6" screen and I think it will be noticeably easier to hold than the M3 and the X2 because it is a lot less wide.
And it will probably get Nougat in a few months.
Try searching for Huawei Honor Note 8. It seems good but I'll still wait for some months before replacing my X2.
If you don't set no great store on the camera, get the the mate 8, for it has maximum xda support.
The Note 8 has a better specs, but I haven't cleared the xda support for this. If does not have it's own forum.
It's not available on Amazon in germany.
My device: Mediapad X2 GEM 701->703 B212 KangVIP (AJ mod)
Come on people! What are some super size phones coming out this year?
I got the Honor Note 8 64GB.
For the price you won't find a better phablet.
I got it rooted and Xposed runs as well.
It's fast, the 2k Amoled screen is fabulous and with 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM and a 256GB MicroSD card I can install all my Apps and take all my documents with me..
This phone looks nice... ZenFone 3 Ultra (ZU680KL)
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Ultra-ZU680KL/
Love this thread. While I have little to contribute, I'd like to add to your question by adding why can't I get 6.5+ inch screen with 4G bands in the US? I'm willing to pay big and I'm sure so are others...so why are we screwed?
---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------
Zen phone looks intriguing. Could be a winner if it has T mobile 4G bands.
Honor Note 9 is rumored to be released very soon! It's a 6.6 inch bezel-less screen with dual lens rear camera.

Now THIS phone sounds amazing with a battery same size as the X2 and faster CPU. Is the 6.6 bezelless screen as big as the 7.0 X2? If so, it could be the only thing I would upgrade to!

Yeah!! That Honor Note 9 will be my next one after our beloved x2. I can't wait! I hope the price will be reasonable just like the x2 before.
Now the rumored leaked specs have been updated to a lesser 4600mAh battery from 5000mAh and a lesser Kirin 965 from 970. Very disappointing! I was hoping for a battery capacity at least as big as the X2 and not any smaller. I hope these new rumors are incorrect...
It could be that the new CPU/etc is more efficient, but I'd still rather have the bigger battery just in case!
What are your thoughts?

Aside from the GPS issues, my main frustration with the X2 is NFC and no matter how hard I look for a replacement that is as big or at least as close as possible, they never have NFC! :/
I was looking at the new Note 8 thinking I would sacrifice size if it was at least 6.5" for the NFC and OLED but Samsung is still going with that ridiculous aspect ratio...oh well.

See here about this issue. At least one android 6 rom does fix it!
Couldn't deal with the crappy signal on my X2 any longer and picked up a Posh Volt LTE 640. 6.4 inch screen and a 5800 mamp battery with Octocore processor and 3 gigs of RAM....and best of all, 4G LTE here on T-Mobile in the USA!!!! It kinda looks like a slightly smaller version of the X2. Very hard to find this one but I managed to find a retailer with a used one in like new condition on Amazon for only $170. Until somebody delivers a 7 inch phone with 4G LTE in the USA, this will have to do.
Major downside is only 32 gigs of non-expandable memory. But hey, don't plan to use it too long.
What do you think of Uhans Max 2?
Sent from my GEM-702L using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Hey Guys
What do we think of this ?
ZTE AXON M.. dual 5.2"screen foldable, is it a credible upgrade from X2 ?
I am consider it seriously
Is there really that big a different between those two??
So far I can see there is no big different between the camera ??
999 euro for the pro.
1399 euro for the pro plus.
5 things are different:
The pro+ comes with 256gb extra storage, totalling 512gb. Since neither phones support microsd cards, it might be worth to upgrade for extra storage.
The pro+ comes with a ceramic back, instead of glass. So it wont shatter or break like glass, and can also apprantly be even more scratch resistant, while retaining the smoothness of glass.
The pro+ comes with a extra camera, that does 3x optical zoom.
The pro+ replaces the 5x optical zoom of the pro to a 10x optical zoom camera.
The pro+ comes with a little bit faster wireless charging.
Earlier post suggested that it also comes with 4gb extra ram, totalling at 12gb, this is not the case.
It's really personal preference if you want one of these features. Since the p40 pro and pro+ do not support microsd, i might need the extra storage for the games series and the lot of photo's i take. I'm quite a power user.
The extra zoom will also be quite special and certainly unique in a phone, until a competitor ofcource adds it to their phone as well. But i can see it staying a premium feature at a premium price for the whole of 2020 and first half of 2021.
The ceramic back is also welcome, since i shattered the back glass of 2 phones already while riding a rollercoaster, while i never had this problem with the iphones i owned, but never shattered front displays on any phone. I don't like to use cases. i have good insurance.
I can't care much about the extra wireless charging speed though.
So for me, while it is a extreme price, i will get the pro +. But...only if i see the normal pro thats almost released can properly handle google apps with everything working. Time will tell when users get their hands on the devices.
You can also add an NM card in the second SIM slot. The biggest you get is 256GB. If you want to add the NM but also need two SIM-cards, there is the option of using eSIM. Thirdparty NM just go up to 128GB for about 40€ and Huawei itself produces 256GB for 100€.
I think it isnot worth to pay an extra 400€, if you don't need the camera and the wireless charging with 40W but the extra space.
Just my opinion.

you need a new reader then as well(unless phone-only usage), and NM cards are double the price of microsd cards, and dont come in higher then 256gb at retail stores at least.
No i'd rather go for 400 euro more for 256gb extra AND then get the other features as well.
