I was wondering right now after you have used mate 8 for quite some time Would you recommend others to do so?
:fingers-crossed:
Yes. I bought a nexus 6p rooted it and loved it but the moment I picked up the mate 8, I haven't taken the 6p out of its box. And the 6p is a great phone
Yes I would definitely suggest to get one?
Best android phone i ever had but best to try it before purchase to check if the size is Ok.
Aboslutely YES!
I got a 128Gb NXT-AL10.. Installed International firmware, TWRP and rooted.
TOP PHONE!
yep, i think i would have regretted getting the 6P (which i intended to buy at first) when the mate 8´s specs became public
awesome phone and not looking back!
only 3 things to consider:
-can you deal with the size? true, its got a nice screen-to-body ratio with tiny bezels, but its still a big phone!
- secondly, can you arrange yourself with EMUI? and if not, are you willing to tinker with the system to adjust it to your needs and wants?
- lastly, the GPU is "only" mainstream, so if u want highend graphics and are a mobile gamer, u might want to wait for upcoming SD or exynos devices...
on the other hand, if your focus is primarily on battery life, super smooth day to day operation, the fastest mobile cpu on the planet (indeed, even faster than upcoming SD820 and exynos8890!) a HUGE display with superthin bezels and super crisp, clear and vivid colors, then this is definitely for you!
Got a Mocha Gold 4/64gb version and I simply love the phone. Since I have been using Mi Note Pro before, I do not see whats wrong with Huawei's EMUI (albeit tons of complaints web-wide).
Not too sure about mainstream reviews, but mine came along with a rapid charger and flip case+generic screen protector. Some online reviews were *****ing about not having the rapid charger in the package.
On the other hand, for the un-initiated, the GPU on the mate 8 may look like crap vs the SD or Exynos. But after testing it on my Mi Note Pro (SD 810 SoC), I discovered the Mate 8 does not throttle (or a little) when compared to it, after prolonged game play.
My Mi Note Pro, starts to heats up really fast and you can tell the throttling a few minutes into GPU intensive games.
I am not sure about Exynos or the latest SD820 SoC devices, but based on Tom's hardwareRead the Article here
Quote:
"Looking at these results adds new context to HiSilicon's decision to use a quad-core GPU in the Kirin 950. By focusing on sustained performance rather than peak performance, a somewhat risky decision from a marketing standpoint, the Kirin 950 actually provides similar, if not better, performance after a few minutes of gameplay as compared to some other high-end SoCs, such as the Exynos 7420 or Snapdragon 810, at least when paired with a 1080p display like in the Mate 8."
In fact I am very pleased with its Antutu Benchmark results, boasting 97k by another member in another thread, with mine somewhere around 92k stock un-modded.
Cheerios!!
Does the Mate 8 have multi-user profiles by default? If not are you able to somehow activate them?
I wouldn't recommend because of the notifications bug. People who don't dive deep into settings will miss emails, messages, etc.
In this case, this is not a mate 8 bug but an android 6 bug.
See posts about nexus 6p and others
I would recommend it to most people. If having the best camera is important to you then I would pass. Everything else is great with the phone except the camera doesn't take sharp enough photos. They look sharp on the phone screen but transfer them anywhere else and you'll see how sharp they aren't compared to other phones.
That's an issue, that hopefully will soon be fixed!

Why you conisder a rooted phone is great .

UHANS is a relatively unknown company, even in the Chinese phone market. Their most popular phone was the UHANS S100, which was a leather backed phone that looked a lot like Vertu phones.
The UHANS S1 looks like their entry into the mainstream, with some very decent specs, and the phone itself looks extremely nice and thin. Power wise it shouldn’t be lacking, but the one thing I’m concerned about is battery life, because the phone is only 6.8mm thick and has small bezels, they could only fit a 2200mAh battery in there, so I’m hopeful that they did some battery magic to up the screen on time.
Gizchina also reported that the camera has Fotonation technology that basically enhances and corrects pictures of people to enhance their pictures, I believe it’s really similar to beautify mode, but probably more in depth.
No price has been announced yet. Follow this thread for more updates.
Specs:
5.0” 1280x720 2.5D Arc display
MTK6753 Octacore Processor
3GB RAM, 16GB ROM
Android 6.0 Marshmallow Freeme OS
13MP/5MP Camera with Fotonation technology
Fingerprint sensor
2200mAh Battery
6.8mm thick
Estimated 120usd ~ 150usd
Duplicate of UHANS S1 5 inches MT6753 3gb, fingerprint

Hi folks, I recently bought the ZenFone 7 Pro, I could see that it has a somewhat out of curve consumption, I drew these conclusions comparing with my Motorola Edge Plus where it has a stand by much more efficient than his and also a management in the cores. Another point that I would like someone to test to see if it’s not just me, the game Genshin Impact after 3-8 minutes of departure the game starts to give absurd dropframes (something that my edge plus and s10 lite could run without presenting this type of situation) someone else with the same performance problem? And apparently the device gives a lot of thermal throttling.
If any of you have the same problem, we have to knock on Asus' door and ask for a solution on top of that.
I put two prints of the motorola edge plus, one related to the use of the CPU with nothing open and the other of the thermal throttling test.
I mean, for hardcore gaming I'd say one would be better off with an IPS display (like Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro). Just because of the burn-in possibility. But, that phone would also throttle most likely. I have one, but yea I hate games for Android - I play games via emulator all the time (and cloud gaming).
High-end SOC in phones will always thermal throttle unless you purchase a gaming phone like an ASUS ROG, or Black Shark, or whatever else. These chips produce a huge amount of heat that needs exceptional cooling.
Even high-end phones just don't have enough cooling to deal with the sustained heat load coming of these chips. To name a few: so, for example, Zenfone 7 Pro, OnePlus 8 Pro/8T, S20 FE. And the Zenfone 7 Pro uses a binned, even faster CPU (865+).
Keep in mind that IF the game is FPS locked to refresh rate and the other phone was 60hz, then your Zenfone 7 has to push +30FPS resulting in way more heat. (60 vs. 90)
Basically, there is a lot involved.
I'd limit FPS to 60 if possible as starters.

I agree with you on certain points, but on others I disagree. If you look at the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite and Motorola Edge Plus, both have the same cooling system compared to ZenFone 7 Pro (a copper plate with thermal paste, S10 lite has only the copper plate without thermal paste, just look for videos "teardown"). Apart from Zen 7, the Motorola edge plus runs this game perfectly and does not have all the conditions that the Black Shark 3 has for cooling, same happens with s10 lite ... on the s10 lite I recorded a 1h video running this game and without thermal throttling heavy or draining the battery. As for the Zenfone 7 Pro, I'm sure Asus didn't optimize the kernel well, besides giving a lot of thermal throttling to the genshin impact, its standby is horrible (which is justified by the CPU oscillations in the print that I posted and you can see compared to edge Plus) 6h I left it quiet, it went away 3.5% of the battery, while on edge plus it was 1%. I asked people to test it, just to be sure of the presence of this bad optimization.
Infinix has finally launched this Note 10 series in India and the best smartphone in this series is Infinix Note 10 Pro with Helio G95 processor and 256GB storage. What do you think?
5,000 mAh batteries are becoming very common these days in budget phones. With a mediatek gaming chipset and a 90Hz refresh rate, this phone is even more awesome
I think this is excellent with the kind of features it contains at a low cost. The Helio G95 chipset along with 8GB RAM would really foster gaming.
The note 10 pro seems like a seriously good budget phone with a good mediatek chip
Yeah, really good storage at the low cost and even the choice of Mediatek gaming chipset seems good enough.
i feel Infinix always knows which features will attract customers. going with a 90Hz refresh rate, an awesome display and a helio gaming SoC really paid off.
Got one, surprisingly good phone.
Got 8gb ram 128gb rom but using a 512gb sd card means more than enough storage.
SoC is quite good, almost as fast as my Note 20 Ultra, and it seems to handle most media thrown at it.
Camera is pretty decent but again (compared to a flagship) not the best out there. This may be due to the camera app itself and with some tweaking might be OK...
The biggest difference in camera is Night mode. The Note 20 shines, quite literally as photo's I take with it are generally quite bright with minimal light levels. The Infinix Note 10 Pro, isn't... Same time and conditions give me black photo's with some light sources. Again might be camera needs tweaking but not sure how much time and effort Infinux will put into this.
Video is good in a pinch but doesn't look like it has the best stabilisation and when taking a little lag is noticeable.
Overall, XOS is fairly good but there are some little surprises inside , not necessarily good ones either. Settings search doesn't so much find the setting I want but the App Info for it. I tend to use search for finding settings a lot as it is easier and faster than going through a long list of items to find something buried 3 menu's in. This may improve as XOS matures, hopefully...
Overall it's a good mid ranger but if you come from something like Samsung then you may find the experience a bit more hairpulling.
Would recommend though as it is good value for money, $350 AUD when something similar from Samsung would be around $800 - $1000...
Oh, and it comes with a headphone jack (no headphones supplied).
In box - Infinux Note 10 Pro, Charger (not sure what countries but not Australian), USB C cable, Case (TPL gel), Sim extraction tool and documentation. After careful inspection I also found a tempered glass screen protector in the box too...
Hope this helps...

Hi guys,
Here my detailed review of the Xiaomi 12 - probably the best small (and hot) phone for 2022.
Are you happy with this small beast of a phone? I am all good - love the form factor, camera and performance and I dont like... how the phone deals with heat: )
Not that this affects me, but ... 1 out of 3 3dMark benches will fail due to overheat + it gets really hot when gaming for more than 30 min. Is Samsung responsible since they produced the 8GEN1? We will never know.
Nice review, very detailed thanks.
Has there been any improvements on the heat issue with updates?
U can optimize GPU for more battery,more speed , and a little bit cooler
With konabess app

Nope D:
Motorola / Realme flagships deal extremely well with the same processors, and they are budget brands, but yeah Samsung's Snapdragon gen1 is a stove, lets hope for TSMC Gen 2 to continue after Gen 1+
