Honor 7 vs Mate S

I have the chance to replace my Honor 7 with a Mate S for only a few bucks. Should I?
I'm very happy with my Honor 7. The only difference afaik is the 5.5" AMOLED screen vs Honor's 5.2" IPS.
Does the Mate S have Android 6 in Europe?

i'd personally hold out and get a P9. The Mate S doesn't have a final version of Marshmallow yet.

We're all on beta software who is on mm. Imo if you can get a p9+, sounds like a beast version of mate S in all regards.

I replaced my Honor 7 with a Mate S because i received it for 300€ when it was released.
i´m thinking about using the Honor 7 again and sell the Mate S since the battery got smaller and sometimes drains to fast. I also miss the IR funktions. The only good thing about the Phone is the AMOLED screen but i don´t think it´s worth it.
just keep your Honor 7 and wait a bit longer or buy a P9.

I can do the upgrade almost for free (20€). Is it not worth it?

If you can live without the IR funktion and the less durable battery. go for it.

I paid £399 for my mate S aboit 4 months ago and I've been looking at the Honor 7 and wished I had brought that instead at only £224...almost half the price with almost identical specs... Maybe even some extra features..
Stick with the Honor 7...better battery life and higher pixel density plus IR blaster and shortcut button

Wanted to better understand Honor 9 Lite before purchase.

Hello Everybody
I have LG G6 currently but i am still looking to jumpship to Honor 9 Lite for Huawei's great software support and 9 Lite price.
LG is hardly supporting G6 these days and i am still waiting for the Oreo update, but i hope i can get it within few weeks.
I started this thread to better understand Honor 9 Lite before plunging in it.
How many major Android updates it can get ?
Does EMUI 8.0 offers all Oreo features ?
Doesn't have face unlock and protected notifications ?

I cannot understand why Huawei even released the Honor 9 Lite...
Go and buy the Honor 7X which is equivalent to the 9 Lite only in ways even better. Bigger screen and larger battery for the same price.
Why would anyone even consider buying the Honor 9 Lite over the 7X??

Well I paid for my Honor 7X €216 inclusive of delivery, making it just €16 more. :laugh:
For a larger screen and bigger battery I think that's more bang for your buck.
Seriously, they are both almost identical and the release of the new Honor 9 is a waste...

because it's smaller and cheaper? I don't understand why would anyone buy 7X over 9, in Europe difference between them it's like 20-30EUR, only benefit of 7X it's nicer design with smaller bezels

4GB version has got and NFC which defers it from 7X.
Well... I got 3GB/32GB version ( LLD-AL10).
I do own an Huawei 9 lite so Honor 9 lite was a Birthday present which I bought for myself.
Compares to H9lite it has got a bigger screen in almost the same body, Apptwin and VoLTE.
The main reason to buy was an astonishing blue/mirror design. Phone looks great.
Until You touch it ... mirror-glass back is 'collecting' fingerprints better than New York police.

The Honor 9 Lite ships with Oreo, it has NFC to support digital payments, it has quad lens cameras, 2 in front and back and supports USB on the go. I can't tell from any of the phone spec sites whether it supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi.

up Only 2.4 GHz

These are my exact reasons for buying the 9 Lite, 4 things that the 7X really should have for the extra price. I was at the launch for the 7X and hands on the 9 Lite isn't that much different.

Xiaomi Mi8 or Huawei Honor 10 ??

Hey looking to buy a phone soon. Currently own a Honor 6 plus with EMUI 4.1 (Android 6)
Can you guys help me list pros and cons?
Thanks!

Did u do some research for urself?

The mi 8 for the processor developers don't like to work whit the 970 Kirin plus Huawei it's gonna stop the unlocked bootloader thing .

+1

The Mi 8 is superior to the Honor 10 in every single way

If this is not a joke, than Mi8

Having p9 right now, after switching from mi4 I would say Huawei software support is pretty sucks. I would pick mi8 imo

I've had the Honor 10 directly after release for one week.
The display is just bad, the fingerprint scanner is laggy, the selfie cam is too shiny and had bad contrasts, some apps are only Snapdragon optimized so they are laggier then on my Snapdragon 820 based ZUK Z2 Pro.
After one week i've send it back to amazon and now i'm waiting for the Explorer Edition.

Have Honor 8 now. Think I may grab one of these as my next phone.

I have Huawei p20 pro, but using mi 8 for daily basis, its better than p20 pro in everything except the camera.

In my opinion Honor 10 has way more better Camera application. Switching camera modes in MIUI is very slow - have to swipe by one item.
And Honor 10 is smaller and that's a pro for me.
But globally Mi8 is a rocket and I'm happy with that phone.

P20 Pro New owner?

Hi i am on the fence on whether i should purchase a p20 pro I have always been a clean android software guy used Oneplus , Pixel even custom roms on a redmi phone. How does this phone compare ? And has anyone come from similar situation from clean stock android to p20 pro .

i've come from pixel xl 128gb pure stock to huawei p20 pro - the phone is brilliant, but there are so many variants out there and if in uk and get the c782 version we seem to be getting left behind in regards to the updates

I've come from a sony, which is very close to the pixel, and I got used to very fast. What I like is that it has many features which the stock android doesn't have.

Tnx who has that version c782 ?
Just dont want to end up with something i dont like, and for me its a massive investment never used huawei software
This is the deal i have seen

Most UK resellers will supply the C782 model even if sim free. This is then updated by the carrier of whichever sim you first insert. Three will also update boot animation so you have their big logo on it.
A lot of users (myself included) have the C782 model.

This is what I was lead to believe however, I have a Vodafone contract through a 3rd party provider.
My c782 is still on .110 but I have read on the Vodafone forums that their devices have been updated to .128 over 2 weeks ago [emoji19]

a few vodafone users from what i know have the C432 model, which is receiving a lot of updates

Yes, apologies I have since found out that Vodafone appear to be issuing the European model.

If you're a pure android person, as in Pixel / Pixel 2, this phone will be pretty stuttery to you and the lack of updates will frustrate. I am on April 1 security patch, and Instagram which is the main app I use, is quite laggy graphically.
Aside from the lack of updates, crap selfie camera and stuttery performance in some apps, the phone is top of the pile right now.
The speakers, screen, camera, and speed of the phone are top notch .

Hi, my wife just got this phone and I'm tempted too. I saw your comment and she has c782.
Do you know if you root and flash a custom ROM do you get regular updates then ?

if she has only just got it, then she will need to pay to get it unlocked (there is thread on this) as huawei no longer provide unlock codes.
you will need to rebrand the phone to C432 model to be able to get the updates, if you leave on C782 then you are reliant on the network operators and huawei to decide when we will receive updates

who do the updates come from if it's not Huawei? google directly?

no, the updates come from huawei but the network operators have to authorise its release

Hi guys, I’m jumping in on this thread as I’m seriously considering a P20 Pro.
I’m thinking of buying from John Lewis in the U.K. and I’m on BT Mobile as my provider - does anyone have any experience with the updates or as to what model of phone i would get if buying from John Lewis?
Also, how are you guys finding the battery life on the P20 Pro?

Battery life is amazing and if i was you i would ask if the p20 pro is unlocked and non branded otherwise you have to wait for the carrier updates, which are so damn slow. I came from a oneplus 6 and im happy that i bought the p20 pro less then 2 weeks ago and this phone is just the best.

Thanks for the reply. I just need to see the P20 so I can get an idea of the physical size of it. I’ve been using this iPhone 6s for so long that I’m guessing anything bigger is going to really feel massive.

Ha, yea its pretty huge if you come from a iPhone but its still awesome due to 1 hand mode or using the home button to navigate the phone, which i use currently.

Well, the Oneplus 6 isn't bad and software wise its one of the fastest phones you can get right now besides the pixels but.... i didn't like the camera! The camera is oke when used in full daylight but at low light its just terrible and the sound quality isn't also that good. The oneplus 6 is better at taking video's etc but the p20 pro is way better at taking photo's.
also the overal build quality on the p20 pro is and feels so much better.

I've been thinking about ditching the P20 Pro and switching to OnePlus ot back to Google with Pixel 3, but can't make mind up
Update: just checked the pixels out and they look premium, interface seems slick, but u need 128gb version as 12gb has already been used with nothing else installed. The XL looks spot on and size is same as P20 Pro.

Is P20 Pro the better device of huawei?

I mean, today i saw an article talking about the new Mate 20 Pro and i want to know about that... "Mate" is the budget version of the huawei's devices? Knowing that Mate 20 Pro is the new device, i know that it can be better, but, if one day they release another P30 Pro, maybe, it will be better since mate is a budget version?
The real question is... What is the "rank"? Honor > Mate > P20 Pro?

see this article - https://pandaily.com/huawei-explains-the-difference-between-the-p-and-mate-series/

They have both become Huawei premium models, being released with a gap of about 6 months. The new Mate model will be better than P20 and the bext P phone will most likely have some features not found in the Mate 20....
