micro SD in redmi note 3 pro
in that shop on aliexpress is written that it(redmi note 3 pro) has slot for micro SD card ,so is there really slot for micro SD(as there written that can be used as slot for second sim) or is it false info on aliexpress?how is it then? because in officiall characteristics of this phone is written that it doesnt have any micro SD slot, so how is it then really?

in the sim slot,you can add a microsd card,if you add a ext sd card,then you can only use 1 sim and if you don't use extsd card,you can use 2 sims(correct me if i am wrong).

Got mine today and I love it!

Do you also have the redmi note 3? How do you compare camera?

can you confirm bands? i've seen some conflicting information about LTE bands specifically.

problem with new units, is it doesnt have recovery(twrp) , root etc..etc..

SD storage capacity

Has anyone tried a 256gb sd card with this phone? Or is 128gb really the maximum?

im guessing 128gb is just the cited max since larger sized sd cards arent really common yet

Hi,
The maximum capacity of micro SD is "200" GB.
Although on eBay there're some 256GB of them, all of them are FAKE.
I use 200GB microSD on my NXT-AL10. Nothing to say correctly working.

Because I'm a new user, I can't post the link.

i figured smth like that, but its good to have confirmation from a user i think once 256gb cards become available theyll also work just fine on the mate 8

Yeah, I meant to say 200gb. I'm used to capacities increasing by increments of 16, 32 or 64gb.
Good to know it's working! Thanks.
Can't wait for the 500gb.... Not a cloud user.

same here, just use the cloud to provide files in forums

any one tried yet? bigger than 128gb on Mate 8?

Got 128 GB, seems enough with 32 ROM... Got everything i need here

should i sell mate 8 and get a Xiaomi Mi Max?

Hello guys... since Huawei has a bad camera and bad notification time receive i am thinking of selling my mate 8 128 champagne gold and get a MI Max 4gb ram + 128 storage... what do you think guys?
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-AL10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

oh gawd no! hardware is waaay worse on the mi max... only upsides are larger display and larger battery, but tbh, 6 inches is more handy than 6.44
also, camera quality has been improved on the new B321 firmware according to user reports notifications can be handled by proper settings and conversion of user apps into system apps, no problem there!
Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10

I did just that and I am happy with the switch. However as previous poster said the hardware is not quite as good but the software runs just as smooth and even smoother in Play Store for example. You can't really tell that much in everyday usage that the hardware inside is inferior. The build quality is not as good either but it's good enough.
All in all I'm more happy with the Mi Max. MIUI is much more polished than EMUI and looks much better and has way better theme support.
I have written a review about it. It's in Swedish but Google Translate should translate it good enough for you:

yeah do that if you are insane............ i got the max it was nice sold on the second day nowhere near in quality to the mate 8 .....

Only pro would be maybe more mature os.
Mate 8 is currently the best phablet that doesn't do anything perfect but everything good or above average.
Snapdragon 650 would be major step down.

So does our Mate 9 really use UFS 2.1 after P10 ram component lottery?

So the P10 apparently uses different components​ for memory which results in different speeds during use. Lots of people complaining.
The Mate 9 is advertised as using the faster UFS 2.1 memory. Is this the case of are we being made a fool of too?
Install A1 SD Bench and tap internal SD card for a quick bench.
Post your result to check consistency. One of the attached photos shows a high read result 358mb. That was taken from this video:
My result is significantly lower 179mb (see other photo).
What's your result?

eMMC / ufs lottery seems to be an extremely stupid move by Huawei.. Especially since they are trying to better establish their brand name
But nothing new though, there is:
Sharp/Samsung/JDI Panel lottery on even the most expensive and high performing Samsung TVs
Hynix/ Samsung/ micron memory lottery on Nvidia gpus
Explosive battery lottery on note 7
Sudden death lottery on note 2
Bootloop lottery on LG g4
Just goes to show that being an early adopter really makes no sense in most cases
Still happy with my mate
But appalled that Huawei would risk their name just to keep up supply

Mine is 314,6 read, write 124.2
I don't know how to add picutre here

I am so appalled by this. I hate when companies are making falls promises.
I see most of us get speeds around 350mbps. In the P10 articles, they are using the AndroBench app an there the threshold for UFS 2.1 is around 700mbps.
Reading speeds of my Mate 9 in AndroBench are around 550 mbps. Go figure...
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk

I am getting ~590 read in androbench as well.

I was debating between this and s8+ and just ordered mate 9 couple of days ago but now debating whether to keep it or return it. Had mate 8 which I really liked.
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk

I am getting too about 590 in androbench app. I been reading somewhere that UFS 2.1 should get above 700 in androbench app. I don't know what to think now ?

These are what I got

interesting, way higher than most here on reading but half as slow in writing lol

331 and 118 for me

This is getting more and more suspicious. Now Huawei have removed mentions of UFS 2.1 memory on the Mate 9 product page!
Android Authority has an article on it.
I for one am selling this phone and steering clear of Huawei for the foreseeable future.

Keeping mine I think.
It's the same phone that I was happy with yesterday before I saw the news. It's still a step up from my OnePlus 3
I'll keep my eye open and never buy anything at launch though.

I should have said I was thinking about switching anyway...

This is really sad news. I love my Mate 9 but I feel really cheated. I will be honest the specs including the inclusion of UFS 2.1 memory was a huge selling point. It's also why I haven't put a micro SD card in my phone and am using the internal storage only as I thought it would be the fastest. Don't know what to think especially with my poor results in the OP.

@tboy2000 i totally agree!
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk

Despite being under 700 in read (more like ufs2.0 590), this is the fastest phone i've ever used.
Feeling like you have to question the legitimacy of what you paid for though is no fun..

Wait and don't sell Mate 9 !
Are you really trust to Androbench where sample file is too small to show accurate results?
What is purpose of using it? Does it show real type of hardware? No! It just reads sample and measures speed, but it does mean nothing.
Is anybody know right method to test f2fs with his caching and optimizations? I think "simple read" is not right there.

Darn! So Huawei is playing the UFS lottery on the Mate 9 as well? Is there nothing sacred?! I feel quite disappointed right now.

As a Chinese. I feel so ashame. I hope they will make detail explaination and apologies. I like this phone alot but this is not acceptable.

Buy Mate 9 or 10 Lite

Greetings,
just need some help with buying. I can buy a Mate 9 for 469 Euros or a Mate 10 Lite for 349. What device should I choose?
Can you help ?
Thanks!
Robin

I have the same question in mind, which device?
Comparing these two awesome device, its difficult to pick one (setting aside the cost - of course)
If I may ask you, which one do you need, because for me, I need more the mate 9 rather than the mate 10 lite.
I have done a lot of comparison and mate 9 meets most of my needs in a phone.

Yes, the 4000 mAh battery is a key point.

id not give up my mate 9 for either one of the 10s.....

Check up the Honor 8 pro. Top notch spec with lower price compare to mate 9.

^^^ What he said ^^^
Those two specs make all the difference and makes me favor the Mate 9. If it's available to you, you can get awesome deals on mint-condition Mate 9 on Swappa. It may actually cost you less than a Mate 10 Lite.
You'll get 4x A73 cores vs the similarly clocked 4x A53 on the 10 Lite. While the latter is certainly no slouch, the A73 cores, id addition to software optimizations, are probably the main elements responsible for how the zippy the Mate 9 feels and behaves.
DIsclaimer: I haven't looked at comparison benchmarks or real world reviews pitting the 2 together
