Hello friends,
I posted a decently deep analysis of the differences between the Honor Magic V and the Huawei Mate X2.
My post can be found here: https://ultramunch.com/honor-magic-v-vs-huawei-mate-x2-a-comprehensive-analysis/
Hopefully this answers a lot of your questions regarding these two phones, but to summarize:
There is no known / reliable way to get Google Services running on the Honor Magic V (at the time of making this post)
The Honor Magic V has a better processor on paper, but the overall feeling is slower than the Mate X2
The Honor Magic V has a vastly inferior camera compared to the Mate X2 (probably not a surprise to anyone)
I did not really conduct any battery life tests as I thought this was not really very interesting since the Honor Magic V is already so inferior in other ways
Mate X2 prices seem to be dropping, so between the two phones the choice is not that difficult
Some awesome members on here --> ThatsYisy have posted some amazing tutorials already about Mate X2 Google Services
I hope this answers your questions regarding the Mate X2 and the Magic V.
I hope nobody falls for the lies and deception that is going around that the Honor Magic V somehow has Google services on it or is able to easily load Google services. It's easier to get Google on Huawei at this point since it's been around for much longer!
Let me know if you have any other questions about these 2 phones!
Great post, but I respectfully and entirely disagree with your comparisons. I own both phones and use them both as daily drivers. Firstly, I don't care about google, if you want google don't buy either phone, simple. Speed of the honor magic v along with network performance is much much faster than the x2. I also find that in most scenarios the honor magic V camera is much better than the Mate X2 (I don't need to zoom to the moon). Also there are alot less bugs and crashes on the honor magic v than I had on my Mate x2. The battery life on the honor magic v is significantly better than the mate x2. The honor magic v feels like the mate x3 in reality.
Everyone has their opinions. I agree with elements of both posters above.
I'll be honest. They're basically the same phone. The real differences are that the x2 has much better zoom and the magic v will play games at a better fps. That's it in a nutshell. No over complicated analysis needed.
Currently own the magic v and used to own the mate x2. With what I know now, without price being an issue I'd have kept the x2. Factor in price the magic v wins, if you can get it at its real, uninflated rip off price that is. The mate x2 is just a rip off price wise even from the manufacturer
All in all the 8 gen 1 chip just ain't worth the upgrade. I really gotta stop falling for the hype.

Everyone is free to have their own opinions, your experience may be different from mine.
I am curious how you used your Mate X2? From the way you said that you don't need Google, I'm wondering what kind of crashes you were experiencing?
The only time I ever experienced issues with my Mate X2 was BEFORE I fully got Google Mobile Services running on it. (When I was using a lazy method such as GSpace or just Aurora Store, the phone had problems all the time.)
Once I when through the steps and fully hacked the Mate X2 with real Google services, the phone has worked flawlessly (well basically the same as the P30 Pro). Meaning sometimes the battery optimization makes you not get push notifications and you have to make sure apps like messenger apps always have battery optimizations turned off.
Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed your Magic V! I recently sold my Magic V and I was worried if the buyer would complain about it and want to return it...

Chacun est libre d’avoir ses propres opinions, votre expérience peut être différente de la mienne.
Je suis curieux de savoir comment vous avez utilisé votre Mate X2? De la façon dont vous avez dit que vous n’avez pas besoin de Google, je me demande quel genre de plantages vous avez rencontrés?
La seule fois où j’ai rencontré des problèmes avec mon Mate X2, c’était AVANT que Google Mobile Services ne s’exécute complètement dessus. (Lorsque j’utilisais une méthode paresseuse telle que GSpace ou simplement Aurora Store, le téléphone avait des problèmes tout le temps.)
Une fois que j’ai franchi les étapes et entièrement piraté le Mate X2 avec de vrais services Google, le téléphone a fonctionné parfaitement (en gros le même que le P30 Pro). Cela signifie que parfois, l’optimisation de la batterie vous empêche de recevoir de notifications push et vous devez vous assurer que les applications comme les applications de messagerie ont toujours les optimisations de batterie désactivées.
Quoi qu’il en soit, je suis heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre Magic V! J’ai récemment vendu mon Magic V et je m’inquiétais si l’acheteur s’en plaindrait et voudrait le retourner...

Hi,
I'm looking for a new phone with a quite good battery life, 5" screen.
So I think about the mi4c. Is the 32g necessary for 30€ more than the 16GB. How many free space have you for your app with the 16gb version.
I can have the 32GB for 240€ but also a MOTO X 2014 16GB for 180€
IS the MI4c still a better choise, does someone test both?
Thanks
I would rather suggest Mi4S. Mi4S has bigger battery, fingerprint sensor and premium look.

Around 12GB, depending on how many bloatwares the distributor installs.

I don't have Moto X, but the spec matches Mi4 more than Mi4C. What are you looking for in a phone? "better choice" is a subjective phrase.
Thanks but mi4s is not exactly the same price.
Im looking for a good display in sunlight, a descent battery life (screen max on and GPS) or quite 2day with a very moderate usage
And a descend android version update: moto x older but have. Good community and already on 6.0

J'ai un Mi4c-32 depuis 2 Mois je le trouve parfait j'ai essayé plein de Roms et je reviens toujours à la 6.1.28Dev Eu Je trouve qu'il n'a pas de défaut, j'ai peut-etre de la chance ou alors je l'ai juste bien optimisé en tout cas le mien tient 2 jours en usage téléphone (pas de waze) et j'ai eu un MotoG qui était vraiment en dessous mais bon MotoX c'est déja mieux, tu auras la bandes des 800Mhz et un support plus local, pour moi le Mi4c ça plus été un coup de coeur. Donc la raison me ferait te dire le MotoX même s'il date un peu quand même, et je précise que j'ai eu le mien a 200euros ça a aussi compté dans mon choix.
Ah oui et je regrette pas, j’étais un grand fan des rom stock et j'ai été agréablement surpris par les rom MIUI dépouillée des applis chinoises.
Oui je sais je t'aide pas,enfin si prend le Moto je me souviens d'un temps ou il était pour les riches.
What do you think about redmi 3 pro?
although i'm a big fan of google phones, there is no comparison between mi4c and moto x 2014... just buy the first you can find it as low as 210 euro online.... 240 with transport fees and paypal fees. and you can devote a day unlocking the bootloader, rooting it etc and with cyanogenmod 13 there's your google phone
Tanks all for your answers, finally I buy the Moto X 180€ instead of the mi4c 240€
Hope i will enjoy it, maybe a xiomu next time

Thanks, i hope i will have a descent battery
For the storage, I come from an 8GB atrix so 10GB usable could be enough and with the usb host I can expend it a little bit if needed
So it's clear that Honor View 10 lacks "Leica branding". Does that mean:
- it has the same hardware and software as the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, but doesn't say "Leica" on the case? or,
- it shares the same camera hardware as the Mate 10 Pro but the camera software or configuration has not been tuned/tweaked by Leica? or,
- some of the camera hardware is the same as on the Mate 10 Pro, but lacks Leica tuning? or,
- hardware is all or mostly different from Mate 10 Pro?
Reviews seem to say that Mate 10 Pro photos are generally better than from Honor View 10, I am wondering how much is common between the two phones and what exactly Leica branding gets you.
I think its same software, hardware between honor v10 and mate 10 pro. V10 lack OIS, mate 10 has it, low light better on it (even without OIS, v10 still good). Huawei put Leica branding on mate 10, put higher price because of the brand share, with additional color option (smooth and vivid).
Sent from my Honor 8 Pro using XDA Labs
V10 doesn't have Lieca, infact none of the honor phones. Only Huawei uses Lieca partnership.
Bonjour je rencontre une difficulté pour a mon niveau concernant l'incrustation en bas à droite des photos du single "Honor View 10". Comment enlever cette incrustation ?
Merci

Please write in English on this forum... And your question is not related to the topic.
Dans les paramètre de l'appareil photo (que tu fais apparaitre en glissant vers la gauche) tu dois décocher "Ajout automatique de filigranes".
Given the size of this beast - Not many products work
Here is one I like and works well - including with smaller phones

You might want to consider magnetic plate vent or windshield holder. I use them for all my phones, never an issue including my Mi Max 3. Works very well. Just stick the plate between your phone and case instead of peeling off the adhesive (so it's not permanent).
Cobao universal car phone holder air vent holder stand support for apple Iphone 5 5s 5c SE 6 7 plus Galaxy xiaomi redmi Huawei

This is fully compatible even with my thick Ironman kickstand armor casing. And sturdy too with the added support brace, even on landscape despite looking a little odd. Been using since Mi Max 2, recommended on mm2 forum some time ago.
And any magnetic one could be recomended? If is on Aliexpress will be nice... thanks
This both its amazing, i purchase two, so fking strong. For sure. Best magnetic holder for big phones. Trust me

I can use my s21 Ultra as a BMW digital key, but so far BMW says only the s21 series and the 2 Google pixel phones can be used as digital keys. Any news if the s22 lineup will be approved to use as a bmw digital key?
