Hi,
I am super confused right now. After reading old posts here, I am assuming my 6x should have NFC as it's EU version (bought and being used in EU) but there's no NFC option in my settings.
My build number is BLN-L21C432B382.
Can anyone help, please?
Thank you very much.
In fact you're right, it should have it. Are you sure your phone hasn't been rebranded? Seems like your OS doesn't show the option because the NFC chip isn't detected, and it could be: damaged (if you're sure that the first variant of your phone was BLN-L21C432), or missing at all (if you're unsure about which build the phone has been shipped with). I'm sure because i had exactly the same build number time ago and NFC always worked for me. I read that you say that it's been bought in EU, but these are the possible scenarios.
It seems there are Different versions with and without NFC sold in Europe. My Honor 6x bought in Germany doesn't have and never had NFC. IT Has the same Firmware and model number though
It seems, only very few first delivered Honor 6x BLN 21 32 bit supported NFC.

That's wrong, mine is an Honor 6X acquired on Amazon on June 2017 (some months after its launch), and it does have 64bit architecture and also NFC

Hey guys,
I think most of us outside China/HK are importing the X2 from eBay sellers or Chinese e-commerce shops like Aliexpress, Gizok, Ainol-Novo etc. I'm trying to figure out which sellers you've had a good experience with buying, in terms of getting the product on time, in good conditions, and properly set up with the Google Play App store and configured with English (or your native language) as the default language.
I wanted to ask where you guys are buying from, as I prefer to buy from reputed retailers with clear policies on returns and support, but these things are pretty murky when you're importing from a China/HK-based seller.
I'm in Canada, so when I buy, I'll need to consider both the reliability of the seller plus customs fees, so I'd like to hear from you guys before I make my decision.

Hi,i bought it at,Honormi
Great Service shipping in 1 Day from China to Austria
Tiny Deals
Tiny Deals is where I bought my Honor x2
Aliexpress - Shenzhen CTS Technology Co., Ltd. - Got it to me in 10 day in the usa DHL Shipping. Google play was installed and working good, still had china apps on it but I don't anyone of them will take those off. When you install google play get it from the huawei app and you will have any problems and update the rest of the google apps from there. Trust me

Did you have to pay customs fees in the US? I have considered getting it shipped to the US and having a friend bring it over to Canada.
Which carrier are you on? Are youbgetting 4G or HSDPA speeds? I've heard of US users having issues with SMS, but maybe those have been fixed with firmware updates.

I bought mine off eBay from zomlong-trading. I had it within a week. They shipped it DHL and it had the Play Store and Google Services preinstalled. Somehow, it arrived with an already unlocked bootloader. My buddy just bought a Mediapad M2 from Gizok. I'll post back when his arrives.

I should have went with that for a few extra bucks. Unlocked bootloader is the winner for me. Out the box ready to mod.

I'm interested in buying a X2 or M2. I would be very interested in your comparison between them. I have read the hype, but being metal cased, does the M2 suffer from worse connectivity in poor reception areas?

He ordered his when Gizok had them in stock and hasn't received it yet. They said it was out of stock but when he placed his order it said it was in stock. So he is giving them another week to get it in Stock and if not he said hes placing the order on ebay. The metal casing doesn't interfere with the signal at all. If you plan on using it as a phone get the X2. The M2 is way bigger and wont fit in your pocket at all. The M2 is good if you just want a tablet and don't care about having a phone. Personally I'd go for the X2.
Does the MediaPad M2 have a phone function as well?

I want a one device does all when travelling and I got a big pocket. Mainly sat-nav (with traffic via internet), occasional in-cab phone (via blue-tooth hands-free) and tablet/phone when I'm resting.

The M2 is more a pure tablet. 8", bigger in size and also has less big battery ( 4500mah ). No phone calling capability ( only LTE etc ).
The X2 is more functional and fits more the tablet/phone profile. The M2 is pure and simple a tablet.

I read conflicting information regarding the M2 phone calling capability.
The Huawei M2 User Guide details how "selected models" make phone calls.
I would only be interested in phone-calling M2 "selected models".
I agree X2 is less ambiguous in that respect.
I am pretty sure the LTE version of the M2 has a phone function. The confusion comes from the fact that the M2 is also available in a WiFi only version.
I just made a mockup of the M2 in plywood to judge how it feels in the hand compared to the X2 and it is actually pretty good.
I am using a Sony SBH52 Bluetooth handset when I use the X2 as a phone and I can do the same with the M2. I think the extra screen real estate will make a real difference in useability.
The slighty smaller battery will not make a difference I think.

Are you sure about the size? http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Huawei-MediaPad-M2,Huawei-MediaPad-X2/phones/9531,9277
Its a massive difference between the two... Also the weight sees a big increase.
The m2 is really a tablet, not a phone/tablet. I also see no mention about phone capability on the LTE version. You can have phone capability is if you some 3th party solution, like Skype + fixed number. But that is a bit of a detour.
Battery... it will have a effect. Sure, its only 200mAh less, but its also powering now a 8" screen. So all in all, you get a bigger tablet, with less battery power. All that for just 1" more... To me, the m2 just serves a different market.
Edit: I just tried the X2 vs M2 in hand holding using a quick mock up ( using the phonearea comparison ) and while i have big hands, the extra size on the m2 makes it impossible to hold it in one hand ( for me ).
Like Benjiro said, here is the difference in size between the two. I'd get the X2 unless you're looking for just a tablet for around the house.
There are several videos on YouTube that show the M2 with a Dialer/Phone App on the homescreen. Also the LTE version has two SIM slots and I have never seen a tablet with two SIM slots just for data.
The point I am making is that I use the X2 more as a tablet than a phone and then the M2 makes more sense.
I have used an iPad Mini in the past as my main tablet and the M2 actually has a larger screen and is smaller in width so is darke to hold in your hand.
With the X2 I still tend to get my iPad Air 2 for certain tasks and I think the M2 can be my one and only device.
This seller is selling the 32GB Gem-703L Gold version for $409.99 with free shipping.

Why did you have to point that out? I guess the 16GB model will be going on eBay.
Hey guys im looking forward to buying the honor 6x, but ive heard some reviews that it has bad quality pics and video on snapchat. Is it true can someone who has this phone and uses snapchat confirm?
Also what other phones would you recommend looking at in the same price range.
Thanks
That maybe due to Snapchat not being fully supported for use on the Honor 6X. However if you wait, Snapchat may release a update for it.

Well you may be right, i had the galaxy s6 and the pics are much worse using snapchat than using the stock camera app.
Now i broke my s6 and the price to fix it is the same price of the honor 6x. Do you think i should buy the phone or fix my s6?

Depends on how badly your SGS6 is broken. If it's totalled then yeah I would get the Honor 6X. However you could get the Honor 8, which is a much more powerful device for a bit more.

Yea my s6 screen is all cracked and not turning on anymore the repair shop told me it costs 200$ to fix it and put a new display so i was debating if i would buy the honor 6x for 250$ instead.

In that case I would just get a Honor 8 or 6X and sell your broken SGS6 for parts. That way you could at least recoup some of your losses. Did the repair shop's quote state that they will replace the entire front panel?

Yea the entire front panel should be changed. I was thinking to sell it for parts but also i have all the data in the phone and couldnt delete it because of the broken screen

I guess you could take your device to a Samsung Service Center and ask them to wipe it for you. As they probably have the equipment to do it easily.

Got an Honor View 10 from John Lewis yesterday and was lucky I pulled the trigger yesterday because the price went up from £339 to £449 overnight. I haven't opened it but just wondering whether not having OIS is going to be a permanent thing and also is Bluetooth going to be updated to 5.0 if it isn't a hardware issue?
anyway Honor have answered me, Bluetooth is permanently on 4.2 as its a hardware issue. The OIS stuff they have forwarded to their R&D department.
same here, got it for 339£, have it unopened while I contemplate what to do next. johnlewis has an amazing 35 days return policy.
no eis update is a sure return for me
Who cares about eis... I make awesome videos just the same.
And they come out just fine.
I'm loving mine
Even put my s8+ in the desk drawer
It's like talking to parakeets
Squak Squak.. No eis Squak whaaa
Sooner or later it will be fixed
Go on spend 1000 sterling pounds dollars.
I'm laughing and making awesome videos

nolia what about yours one?
Ois so far has posed no problems for me, just have to remember that decent lighting is required for quick response of the camera, other then that the dual shooter is fantastic imo.
Can I ask the difference between Bluetooth 4.2 and 5.

bluetooth 5 allows you to connect 2 devices simultaneously e.g you can connect 2 bluetooth speakers and stream music to both of them. In 4.2 its one or the other, it will show there is 2 bluetooth headphones/speakers but you have to chose 1.

Please let me know if you decide to open yours, will do the same. I wish it comes with the EU plug it would work better for my ends.
p.s.
congrats on the deal, I was keeping an eye on amazon at £369.99 until it run out of stock.
Following day CPW had it on the website at £339.99 for 2 days, I was literally ordering it when the price went up to £449.99 I think it was.
Johnlewis luckily had it in stock at £339.99 and I pulled the trigger. I knew JL was going to amend the price and bam it did the following day, following CPW 's foodsteps eheheh.

yeah they follow each other haha. The note 8 dropped at CPW and bingo John had it at the same price. But anway, why so much emphasis on EU plug assuming u live here of course or u live in Spain lol
I will set mine next week when I go home, doubt would return it. I have read a lot of positive reviews and some neg but overall positives trounced the negatives.
I'm based in London but will likely move to Europe for work reasons within weeks
Hi all , I'm thinking of trading my S10 to a OnePlus 8t , the battery on my Exynos S10 is dead after about 4 hours sot so I'm looking at the 8t , what are your opinions ?
The 2 are not even comparable. You are trying to compare a 2-generation old device with a 1-generation old device. The 8T will blow the S10 out of the water (esp a Exynos variant).

Thanks for your reply , tbh the 8t being 6 months old already did put a question mark against getting it but looking at the specs it does seem a better phone , not bothered about SD card slot and headphone jack , the price of the 8t on the OP site is a really great price for what is on offer compared to the OP9 .

Not sure which variant you're looking at but make sure it's not the one manufactured and sold in India. For whatever reason that one is junk. Just go to the OnePlus Community site and read the unending complaints from most people in India. I personally use the 8T as my only phone and I think it's great...but I have the Global/NA variant. So...YMMV.

I see both the 8 and 8T are on sale... I'm running off of an original OnePlus 5 who's battery is nearly toast and I really need an upgrade. Really cannot stand the lack of a headphone jack and that damn port hole, but I am running out of time.
Would you guys get the 8 or 8T at this point?
9 or 9Pro are better choices now, especially there are sales on them too.

Well that makes me sad. On the Black Friday sale, i looked at the OP website, it shows 'Single nano-SIM slot' for the 9, and 'Dual nano-SIM slot' for the 8T, so that's what I bought
