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?

If you have the budget, I'd say go for the Honor 9.

Wait for the reviews if you want to know about the camera, but in other departments, go with the honor 9
Honor 9 is more expensive?
I want to buy Global version of this device but not available to buy from amazon for example.. when?

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.

Samsung recently had that program. You can give in any smartphone you have in exchange of a S8 with less 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".

so it seems that i have just about had it with my mate 7. if someone would have told me of the lack of custom roms i would not have bought it. having said that, its a new year with new phones rocking snapdragon 820!!! YAY!!! so, anyone know of any good 6 inch phones coming out soon? im currently looking at the Oppo R7 Plus and the ZTE Axon Max but like i said, im hoping for a phone with an SD820. anyway, any and all suggestions are welcome. thanks!
Just look at the news section of the XDA site. They're at MWC 2016 right now, looking at the new releases.
I have been looking at MVC I think this year was a huge disappointment. Vivo Xplay 5 was biggest surprise.
LG G5 was a nice concept..it is just that the LG lack totally any sense of elegant design.. it looks not good on the back..
camera and performance is probably good, but the battery performance is probably not good (and no I will not carry a extra battery in my pocket)
S7 I think they will suceed with most things, good battery life, best display..
Why I will not buy S7 is the price.. and Samsung software..I can't stand it..
I am not a huge fan of samsung design and form factor..
I regret I did not buy the Mate 8 in november now..I will now buy the Mate 8, the mocha brown version. I was so sure I would buy the gold version but..after much thinking..I will go with the mocha brown.
What's wrong with your M7?
I'd like a Mate 8 myself, it's a beast!
But I don't need one.
The Mate 7 does what I need. It's a nice phone.
If you want to update but your M7 is running ok, I'd wait a month or two and see what new models are released.
Well if official marshmallow had been released by now I might have kept the mate 7 for a while

I use Smart Launcher Pro. It's the only launcher I have found that properly supports full rotation and re-organisation of lockscreen and homescreen. I use it in landscape in the car and that one feature is a must have.
I removed the Huawei launcher. Just garbage without the app drawer. Why cripple the device so iSheep can use it?

and this is why i will never buy another huawei phone...... at least not one that doesn't have a snapdragon soc. if only huawei released their phones with snapdragon soc's for north america.
Hey, give Huawei a chance. The hardware rocks, but the software lacks polish. Wait for a few more releases and I'm sure Huawei will release a phone with a software that's par with other brands.

I'm like you. I want a 6" display. And i'm bored by huawei roms. I want a snapdragon with custom's rom.
But with 6" display... Vivo was exciting, but just 5,5 finally.
Samsung A9 and A9 pro were great but not released in EU...
I'm really waiting for Oppo R9. Seems to have a 6" display like Oppo r7 plus but with s820...
At 9-th Mart will be present Huawei P9 Max - rumored 6.3" display.

this was my hope as well but it seems that the R9 wont have an SD820. from recent pictures it also looks like it will have a front facing fingerprint scanner which is a major turn off for me. it looks like ill have to wait to see what ZTE does.

I hesitated for a long time between the M7 and the R7 Plus , ended up with the R7 Plus and so far i'm very impressed , the official CM12.1/CM13 support is very nice , it has a Snapdragon 615 which is of course less powerful than the 820 but it results in an astounding battery life , lasting a full day and well into the second day. Good luck with whatever choice you make. :silly:

thanks for the advice. at the moment it seems like the R7+ might be my next phone. im still going to wait to see what zte has to offer before i buy anything. tbh, i dont mind the processor size as long as its a snapdragon and has at least 3GB of ram with expandable storage ill be fine.
i dint know if anyone of you are holding a honor 6x now,
all i want to ask is , is it worth the price? with a kirin inside??

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.

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
Hello guys, my friend wants to buy an affordable and good specs phone similar to the honor 6x. So i suggested if he can wait a couple of month to buy the honor 6x successor. Anyone know what it is called and when it will be released so i can follow its news? I know it should be released around december similar to honor 6x. Thank you

I've read a few leaks about the Honor 7x, it's rumoured to be launched on October, and I couldn't find any specs, but I don't expect any big improvements.
This is still the best phone for € / $200 and the 7x the will be around € / $269.00 .
So in my opinion it's not worth to wait, just save some cash.

If he save some more bucks he can afford honor 8 .
Well, if he waits and do look for deals, he can grab an honor 8 for 250$, and the only thing I know about the 6x succesor is that it will be called 7x
From other sellers honor 8 available for <$230
That's even better
It was the best choice he had , if he skips he done a big mistake.

Guys, as time reaching near who all are excited for V10 ? I may end up buying it actually.
Not even a year, honor 9 already outdated
The Custom Dev here is dead and..yes this Honor would be my last Honor.
Another Honor? Yea right.... H9 was my first and last, thank God I found a casual user ok to buy it from me. Coming from OnePlus and staying there now. 5t all da way. ?

You are wrong, the V10 is the successor to the V9 (H8 Pro).
H9 remains their current year flagship. @FlyingMachete the future looks bright, oreo with treble is incomming which will most likely solve alot of problems for us devs.

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.
