P9Max on Oppomart for €634.76

The P9Max is now on Oppomart for €634.76.
http://www.oppomart.com/huawei/p9/huawei-p9-max.html
If the specs are real, i realy don't like them. So i think i keep my P8Max DAV-701L.
- 6,2 inch is not Max
- Battery is lower
- QHD screen, battery sooner empty?
- Don't like the color

Totally agree. Hope that the rumours and the specs are not real and that they will keep the size at 6.8" inches and dual speaker setup,nfc and independent sd card slot will be there. Thats all this device needs everything else is a bonus.

And in black like the P8 or Z Ultra titanium grey is not bad, but i like black much more.

You would be better off getting the Mate 8 over the P9 max.

So no P9max? They ony show the P9 and P9 Plus in London today

Oppomart also changed the P9max link to P9 Plus
http://www.oppomart.com/huawei/p9/huawei-p9-max.html

So the P9 Max won´t be release, I was willing the 6.2 " screen but with the p9 plus with 5.5 " is not enough for me. I will be enjoying my P8 max for a long time.

Yeah 5,5 inch is no go.

Totally agree. No P9Max. Guess OppoMart was lying to increase their profile. Oh well! Looks like I will enjoy my P8 Max for a long time.
Devvvvssssss.. Please bring on quality roms for this device.

I am thinking about getting the P8 max but you are correct, there is not any development going on. Were you able to root it successfully and install 6.0?

I have not rooted it yet and so far all the apps I need work fine without root. For me the key reason to root is custom roms so until a quality room like Resurrection Remix or something similar to the legendary Paranoid Android becomes available I will wait. Having read the relevant threads it does appear very straightforward to root this device using Kingroot or the instructions in the root guide on Xda.

Forget the P8Max its a unsupported Mid-Range Device which where selled as Premium with promises who where broken.

The P9 Max will be out soon. Gizok is selling it as well:

It looks like it will have full US LTE support so this will be the phone to get.

Better a white/gold Smartphone with a Snapdragon and ROM's as a black/grey/whatever Smartphone with a crappy SOC without ROM support

Mate 9 Pro released today in Scandinavia

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.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Yep, 5.9 a must have!

Please post sample photos when you receive it [emoji6]

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.

Please help me choose ...!

Hey everyone I'm a newbie in chinese smartphones cuz I haven't use one before , I'm actually on LG G4 and I want to switch to another smartphone !!
My Budget is 400$ Maximum !!
after many searches I've found 4 devices in that price range ,what I really want of my next future smartphone ,is to be an upgrade over My lg G4 camera and more performance.
My priorities are , Performance and longevity !! , good Camera , Solid build (Durability) , and Battery.
But I also want a good and Sharp display,good loudspeakers !!For Multimedia
I know that this is a lot to expect from a 400$ smartphone but I just want the best bang for bucks not that Perfect as flagships!!
I've found myself stuck with Oneplus 3 , Xiaomi Mi 5s, Honor 8 , Axon 7 and Zenfone 3 !!
it's very difficult for me to choose please help me , if there is another smartphone that you consider better please tell me !!
Best Regards,
Youssef

I had LG g4 prior to my honor 8, and I can't be happier right now for the money I spent on my honor 8. This phone beats LG g4 in every way in my honest opinion. I also had LG v20 for about couple weeks and I can even argue that this phone is better than LG v20 in many ways. I don't know where you live and how much you will have to spend to buy honor 8, I got mine less than $300 on a promotion with wireless headsets and gift cards. True cost of my honor 8 was about $200. You might wanna think about dollar to dollar value for your options. Some might argue that axon 7 is better, but at the end, honor 8 was the best for my buck. Five things about this phone competes with any other flagship device on the market right now.
1 Look and feel.
2 Cameras
3 Battery life (you can easily get 5-6 hours of screen time)
4 Performance. Especially, app opening and multi tasking.
5 Fingerprint sensor speed and accuracy.
The rest is just average.

I'm not going to write you a story,if you are ok to wait two moths for a phone, then go on oneplus.net and buy the oneplus 3t.
If you dont want to wait,go for Honor 8.
Axon 7 is good too,but i dont knkw where you can get it.
No Zenfone 3,i wanted it too but there are NO CUSTOM ROM!!!

The Honor 8 is a much better device than the LG G4. As it runs on the much more powerful HiSilicon Kirin 950 SOC, which is much more power than the Snapdragon 808 of the LG G4.

The only advantages for the LG G4 are in camera, as it can record 4K. And display which is 1440p

oneplus would be my choice

That is true! Those are the only things the LG G4 have a step up on the Honor 8. But the camera on the Honor 8 isn't too shabby either.

Honor 6X or Moto G5 Plus?

Hello guys. My Google Pixel died and Google is refusing to repair it (long story), so I need another phone, but I don't want to spend another 600 dollars.
I have two options: Huawei Honor 6X ($200 5.5 3GB RAM 32GB) or Moto G5 Plus (225 5.2 4GB RAM 64GB). The Moto looks better on paper, for 30 more dollars I get double the storage and 1GB more of ram.
I understand this forum should be biased towards the Honor, but I was wondering if any of you would give an honest opinion on why one or the other, or maybe another phone for no more than 250?
I don't play games, I am mostly using for calling, whatsapp, and pictures. Good quality of pictures are very nice to have. I am also not that interesting on ROMs as long as the standard one is updated with security fixes.
Any comments? Thank you!

I'll choose moto g5 plus if their price gap is less than 30 USD.
But, both phones are decent.
If u love just stock android... it would be better to buy moto g5 plus.
But if u love to tuning your device, honor 6x should be better.
Tuning your device by EMUI's way would be a bit difficult at first time but soon you'll be used to it.

If camera is priority go with honor also if you like using different themes to modify look amd feel of UI, Honor does better ( haven't used stock android since two years, so not sure if anything has changed recently on stock). Else stock android, timely update, sure oreo update, timely latest security patch, custom ROM support...go with moto.

.

go for honor 7x,,, same price as that of moto g5 plus

What about Xiaomi Mi A1? It is 230 dollars, and it is getting really good reviews.

Honor 6x is better slim 2.5d curve, faster fingerprint, better camera, less bezel than moto g5 plus,no heating issue, bigger display,Back fingerprint scanner

4 ou 8 go

Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a new phone and realme 5 pro seems to be a good choice. Is the RAM size (4 or 8go) related to the battery's life ?
Thank you for your help

Though this phone is good.. i would suggest you look at snap dragon 760 or at least 730 based phones.
