OK .... So now I'm thoroughly confused.
I ordered both the Mate 9 and the Mate 9 Pro (because of Amazon generous return policy). Initially I got the Mate 9 because of price.
The first disappointment is that the Mate 9 Pro apparently had only dual SIM sorry and NO micro SD ??? Is that correct? Why in the heck would they limit you like that?
More importantly and I can't get a clear answer ..... Do the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro have different cameras ??? Huawei customer support was thoroughly confusing!! Anyone have hands on comparison of the 2 devices. I could probably survive only 128gb of storage of the camera is truly different and better!
You are right. Pro dont have microsd slot, only dual-sim and 128gb memory (6gb ram). Camera's is same on both. Only differences betweed Mate 9 and Pro is memory and screen.

That's what it appeared on the specs BUT ..... the Huawei support person acted like cameras were different .. Also there is a Chinese (sounds like) YouTube video that compares Mate 9 to Mate 9 Pro and shows much worse images with the Mate 9

Does he/she shows pictures straight from mobile screen to video camera or?... I have used both and opened both phones and they definetely had same camera. I havent noticed any differences with picture quality. Of there really is differences then its caused by firmware, maybe pro has tweaked more?

I am thinjing of buying a mate 8, but knew from a fan site in Egypt, that some of them found a problem of having some light /white pixels on the screen when it is off/black ?
Is that seriois and happen ? Does it have any remedy ?
hm to be honest this is the first case of stuck pixels ive read about and ive been on the mate 8 forums here on xda since the very beginning. so im guessing its just an isolated incident, no worries

Thank you very much.
Do you have info about the Oppo R7 Plus ? It is cheaper here than the mate 8, and on paper, the specs looks close really.
Thanks again
Don't know where you are located (Egypt?), but in Germany when you buy in a German online shop you can return the item within 14 days without any reason.
Dunno if it's EU-wide.
Additionally if you buy it in a retail shop, you could ask for starting the device before you buy it. Some shops do it, some not. Then you can check for your screen error.
But TBH: never heared about that problem before. Could be software related also...
I switched from a LG G3. The battery lifetime was the only reason. It was so annoying I had to charge the G3 each 4 or 5 hrs... I had wireless chargers everywhere...
With the Mate 8... wow! I come home from work with ~50-60% battery!
Even if you heared from some problems with the screen in Egypt, why no import device then?

Thank you for your replay. Yes am in Egypt, and importing is a bit complicated for inviduals. The well known shops will test the device for you ( after you pay, so it is then a warranty procedure).
I heard that the problem starts after sometime. It can be a software problem as you siad,some people said that found an app on playstore to fix this.
Well, if there's an app that fixes it, then it's a software issue.
Do you know which app it is? I'm very curious.
I just have my mate 8 for 6 days now and very happy. If you like the phone and if you are aware it's a bit bigger (and definately greater ) than your old phone, you will love it.
My LG had the power button on the back. The same spot where the fingerprint reader of the mate 8 is... hah!
If you didn't hold it in your hands yet, you definately should do it. Don't underestimate the size!

I guess the app name is Kill-Pixel.
I love 6 " mobiles, I used then in the last 3 yeras ( Samsung mega, Xperia T2 and LG G2 Pro ), but 2 months ago I bought the htc one e9+ because of its specs. It is reaaly nice but I can not handle the smaller display anymore, so I have to go back to the 6 "
Okay, just wanted to make sure you know how big 6" are.
i agree, i dont think i can go back to sub 6 inch displays after experiencing the mate 8 btw, stuck pixels are actually a hardware problem, which can sometimes be resolved by software, i.e. switching colors and forcing the stuck pixels to get unstuck same principle applies to laptops or desktop monitors.

launcher for Mate 8
I know that mate 8 does not have app drawer, and is similar in its UI to the iphone. I can not live with this UI, so my qestion is , has any body tried any launcher ( Nova for eaxmple) ? Are these laumchers work smoothly with the mate 8, or what ?
i can definitely recommend nova launcher. have been using it on my mate 8 since day 1, works without a hitch

If I'm not mistaken you still get colored square background to all apps which look horrible. Try simply google if your in to rooting/custom firmware.

Me personally no. But people have reported about screen bleeding a lot, on their units so it's a mixed bag tbh. And what's wrong with the headphone jack?
Headphone volume does seem a bit low sometimes. Haven't seen any screen bleeding though.

1 - With respect to the device there are no differences. Only real difference is that Chinese unit comes with a quick charger in box whereas indian one does not.
2 - I think yes?

Which firmware / miui version?
Does anybody have the issue that Rn7pro camera has good color reproduction but the images are not sharp. And the camera is stuttering when taking pictures inside the room in day time. The selfies are very disappointing that they are not even sharp to zoom in a little. Is this normal or kind of particular to me?

I feel same about sharpness but that too only indoors or in less light. In well lit lighting condition, images turn out great tbh. Also yes camera stutters a lot, after tapping capture button the next photo can be taken only after 2-ish seconds

Camera was force stopping and lagging at first but I received a software update of about 450mb it fixed the camera for me.
Now it works fine , for 48mp it takes a second or two other than that it is working fine.

Thankyou for putting up this thread, I am really anxious on buying non-global phone and the recent knowledge about lte bands.

Instead of shouting at us read properly, you are in the MATE 30 PRO section, go and vent your frustrations in the proper section.
And as for your complaint, I had - my wife has it now, a mate 20 Pro which came with android 9 and with each update that phone got better. Update to Android 10 whent flawless so it looks like you have a defective device.
even on p30 is the same android 10 is total crap .. 9 was gold

i had p30 pro and i sold it .. crap curved screen .. camera not that good as they all say
Its all relative...how high are your expectations and in how far do you believe all the you tube reviews on new phones?
Huawei does like Samsung and Apple a good marketing with the aim of you believing them and buying their devices and this every year.
I had a Mate 9, Mate 10, Mate 20pro and now the Mate 30pro and the only one which I was not happy with camera wise was the Mate 10. The pictures from that phone looked often like oil paintings. I disagree about the Mate 20pro, it improved after upgrading to android 10 and its camera was - is good. Cannot judge the P30pro.
I do agree that some people will never be satisfied and always find excuses to complain, I am sure that these people have nothing better to do than complaining. These people should understand that if you want to take good pictures you buy a proper camera and not a phone with a camera but then we talking again about expectations.

Id you want EU version you have to buy it
Would it be possible to implement these new photo editing features that the new P40 Pro brings for the Mate 30 Pro ???
Maybe by a OTA update ??? EMUI 10.1 ???
i dont think so. its the new phone feature, if they bring it to old phone, thats will make the new phone less special.
BUT sometimes developers succeed on porting that app to another phone, so just hope a brilliant dev shows up for that lol
I have the P40 Pro in my hands but those features are missing from the camera app. Only remove reflection is there. Maybe they will come at a later update.

i doubt that. i've compared camera app of mate 30 pro and p30 pro which is its predecessor, and mate 30 pro still lack alot of p30 pro camera features. from what i know, P series focus on camera and camera app, and mate focus on other things, such as user experience, ease of use, etc
camera version has received two updates but oneplus 7 pro is not working anymore will the camera not be updated anymore?
Version 4 is for the OnePlus 8, see the thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/camera-4-0-213-apk-mirror-warning-t4085739
I expect some enhancements to the 7 camera, but not on a regular basis... I think the OP7P camera is about as good as it will ever get.
it is not a nice situation, why is Oneplus unable to synchronize with its old phones, whereas Oneplus is a company that stands out with its software support
I will make some drilling on my phone & put cameras like on OP 8 pro on my OP 7 pro, then it will work...
