Thinking of switching to a mate 8. What are your guys opinion ? Also if anyone would be interested in trading me for my 64gb 6p . Also how is the camera quality in other apps such as instagram,snapchat ,etc? I remember on my old lg v10 it looked horrible due to not being optimized. thanks
Only thing this phones missing is pure aosp or cm Roms. Other than that, this is the phone the 2015 nexus should've been
cm roms wouldnt offer much more than the huawei roms, theyre already choke full of functions and extra settings as for aosp looks, u can adapt those easily via themes or custom launcher, no problem there.
im actually very happy that i didnt go the 6p route, the mate 8 is definitely the best phone ive ever had!

mate 8 is much faster and smoother than the nexus 6p
the cpu is a beast
but the camera is crap
I just thinking sell my z5 p and get mate 8. Still can't decide it is worth or not
If the nexus 6P was six inches and had a 4000mah battery I would have gotten that. It doesn't so to me the Mate 8 is better. If a manufacturer doesn't put in a large battery, I don't buy their device.
Mate 8 is better then nexus 6P as well as Z5.
I.have used both for some time.
Battery life is amazing

this! combine the mate 8 specs with the dev community of the 6p and it would be an absolute dream phone

After seeing the initial dev scene over here for 6X. Yes, it can be worth. I don't hold any 6X now.
Hoping to get it by the start of next month.

It doesn't happen like Honor 5X.
For Honor 4X, we got 2 incremental updates Kitkat -> Lollipop -> MM
So we can expect the same for Honor 6X too.
And with our Lineage Devs over here, we can expect further more updates.

Yeah! Considering the specs of the hardware used in the Honor 6X for the price. You get less from other brands like Samsung, HTC or Sony for the same price.

The HiSilicon Kirin 655 is a very good SOC when compared to other SOC used in similar priced devices. It works well with gaming and other everyday tasks, like social media, web browsing, media consumption and email.

There was similar concerns over Honor 8 at the beginning, then later it gets CM, which is still buggy at this stage, but the progress is moving forward.
3G+32GB should be enough for most ppl daily use.

Then you better off with a Nexus 6P... I see them within the similar price range and of course you can count on Google to bring you Android N, O, P, Q, R...

Nexus 6p may be a good recommendation but its usually still double the price of a Honor 6x. At least here.
I am currently holding back on making a 6x purchase as I rather a 64gb black front model which are not yet available here. But it seems there has been some progress with LineageOS. Fingers crossed!

Understand, an used 6P is about same price as a new 6X here in China.
If you are not hurry, maybe just wait for LineageOS to be mature. Otherwise, Honor 5X is another good option.
The only bad thing I discovered was 3dmark results, about 370, sooooo loooooow and sloooooooooow

They're both great phones. I gave a 3t to my father for Christmas and he loves it. However, I went with Mate 9 because of the battery life and I have to say I'm very pleased with the phone. Lasts me a whole day of heavy use, it's very snappy, and the camera is quite nice. Also, the fingerprint reader is lightning quick!
I want to buy a new smartphone with very good camera.
Honor 9 was better than Honor 8? which are more recommend?
How do they compare to Xiaomi Mi 6 in terms of quality picture and video recording?
Honor 8 have DT2W option available?
Honor 8 have a very good camera and video?
Thanks.
please more opinions.
Look for Honor 8 Pro or Honor 9.
There is no reason to buy Honor 8 anymore, when new phones are released.
But honor 8 is more cheap and great camera..
Honor 9 include minor upgrades?

I'd get Honor 9 as it has some nice improvements. Without double-touch to wake, Honor 8 with its rear-facing fingerprint sensor can be a bit cumbersome to unlock when laying flat on a desk. Other than that, the improvements to camera and audio present in H9 are welcome. Now having said that, I'd wait for the real-life reviews to see how performance and and batery-life of Honor 9 compares to H8 plus note that H9 will be much more expensive for a while, especially if you can find a good deal on H8, which is still an awesome phone.
No one knows the price of honor 9 outside China, and if someone have the honor 8, its not a worthy upgrade

On paper, battery and performance should be better on the Honor 9. I just hoped that Honor will have a program where you can give in your Honor 8 or any other phone and receive a better one with less the price.

How can you advice some to go for the Honor 9, have you personal tested or used the H9?
Just because these a new model of a previous device doesn't make it a better device.
Now as another member said to the Op if they can wait and have the budget for the H9 then yes Go for H9, but if budget kinda tight the H8 is a good device and may even be able to pick one up for well under 300 green backs.. It all boils down to do you need the new features of the H9?

For me, that's right. There are little differences between the two. It's just that Honor 9 is "newer".

Camera will be better in some ways, but because of lack of OIS video won't be that good. Lowlight will be worse too.
If i was you i should wait longer because the mate 9 is still a pretty good device in 2018.

I was watching the conference as he said that. Also they probably screen captured it from sirocco and put it on nokia 8's frame and scaled it to fit it. You can see virtual navbar too from sirocco.

nope he was clearly talking about Nokia 8
plus N8 siroco already has pro mode
Niiiicccceeee. Can't wait till Friday.
I hope post processing improves
It is surely Nokia 8 , at last normal camera app!
My previous phone, Asus Zenfone 2 had a proper 'Pro' mode. I pretty much experiment with it all the time and was able to get some interesting shots.
Which is what the Nokia 8 lacked. I take a lot of photos with my phone, so having a Pro mode is what I would want.
Since the camera's post processing wasn't that great either. The camera notably degraded in performance in low light conditions. And throughout my experience owning the Nokia 8, the camera app was buggy from time to time. I hope that will be fixed in the upcoming update. Since the sensor on the Nokia 8 was actually pretty decent for what it is.
Definitely can't wait.
Will that be via Google Play? Or will it be baked into an OS upgrade?
