NFC is not that widely used in India. And we have to consider the price segment.
well, sony had nfc in this segment already with M2 model, even before the fingerprint scanner, and that was somewhat too soon. now, with probably all SOC supporting it, they should just put a small antenna in it, that's not such an expense.
Xiaomi is preparing MiPay for India with NFC use, probably GooglePay is also interested.
Oh well, I'll try to cancel my order..
(are you with Asus India, or do you have that same phone? gsmarena is saying yes to nfc, but it's a different phone code, another specs site says yes, on flipkart one buyer said yes, another no, asusindia not responding on social media about this, ..)
I'll give it 3.5 out of 5
Nice all-rounder
Go for this if u want a big battery
Otherwise go for mia2 or w8 for A3

If the price is identical you should opt for the 910S variant, since that will exhibit zero glitches. I own the 910C variant and almost all of the apps work flawlessly except for a few graphics issues (which you easily fix by going into menu then returning, so its not a processor thing but rather a bug in their software). But straight out of the box the 910S is probably the better option for you.

Thanks for ur reply my friend
The price difference is about 30$ which isn't that big.....,but I saw benchmark tests and the exynos kicked Snapdragon's butt almost in every test (the snapdragon was superior in graphics tests though)
The important question now is where do u live my friend??!! Because I heard about regional lock and I'm afraid that neither one of them will work here in Egypt (due to the lock)

Gear VR has no such locks in place (though they probably will start adding them once the pay store arrives). Nk4 firmware and up and it should support gear.
If you're referring to cell phone operator lock, thats a different thing, depends on what you purchase and where (here its illegal to operator-lock phones). You should consult with your carrier if its compatible.

Quick browse through some sites shows that egypt is selling 910c, so that should be good to go. 910s probably warrants a chat with some tech support guys on your carrier.

Interesting. I would figure that the cleoag patch also "solves" this little issue since I did not experience any region locking at all on 910C. As I said before, exynos works - coldplay and matterport are nonworking, everything else runs smoothly.

Thanks bro!!
I will get 910C variant and order the Gear VR....
To be honest I would wait with VR for something with higher resolution. I've just received Gear VR and the resolution is really bad, pixels are clearily visible. Apart from that it's a great toy.
Rumour says that Note 9 and Gear VR 5 MAX Space Edition will do miracles. You could wait if you have enough patience. Rest of us enjoying current latest and greatest.

The problem is for me it is not enjoyment, which is why I think it's best to try it first before buying (unless the price is nothing for you). It is painful for me to use because of the screen effect. No disrespect meant, just my opinion.

Screen effect may not be the problem... at least wasn't for me. Thanks to advice found here, my experience improved dramatically after 1. replacing the cushion that it came with, with one in box and 2. Paying closer attention to how gear sat in my head (should be at slight angle). Once I found sweet spot, it made world of difference.
Even with 4k display you probably would see pixels. Magnification is so great that in current technology is no way to eliminate screen door effect. Once you find that sweet spot experience is pure enjoyment.

With all the news going around Huawei's false advertisement relating to the storage chip and the ram, is there news about what Huawei will decide to do, or are they still going quiet.
I'm still interested in getting the P10, but not knowing what i'll get. For those who does who have crap version, is there any noticable differences in normal daily use.
I'm open to suggestions, otherwise I have to decide whether to get the S8 or G6, but I prefer the P10 over those two.
Thanks
I think models in Europe should mostly have ufs storage. As for the ram, I've read that the kirin 960 cpu only supports lpddr4 type memory.
At the moment I have a p10, single sim 64gb version and have ufs memory, speeds are just shy of 700mb/s. Before I had an s7 edge.
I can say only this about my p10, it is BY FAR the fastest android phone that I have used. And I have used many. It rivals the iPhone 7, even beating it in some cases.
About the emmc version, I have watched a speed test between a xiaomi mi6 with ufs 2.1 and the xiaomi was faster by about 3 seconds at the end of the app opening test. They opened about 15 apps one after another and measured the total time.
Where they comparing the Xiaomi device to a eMMC device? Otherwise it's not comforting anyone getting a eMMC device
I am from Hong Kong, and we have the dual sim version, although I can check many phones at the shop, but I am not able to do this for the Huawei.
Will there be a really big differences between the memory used.

Yes, they were using a p10 with emmc memory. The speed difference was minor compared to mi6 with ufs 2.1.

I do not think there is much of a difference. Maybe only when copying large files.
Apple has done this with the iPhone 7 also. The baseline iPhone 7 and 7+ with 32gb of internal storage have about three times slower read/write speeds than the ones with 128/256.
Better to wait a month more for newer batches and less rush, so that the device comes with olephobic coating and UFS 2.1. However i don't expect a drop in price although might catch some temporary offers.
Thanks, got one locally and a brief testing, i get UFS 2.0, i'm happy with it, as long as it's not eMMC, even my sony Xperia XP is eMMC, and it's works well for me, although i traded it for the P10.
Is there a problem with WiFi speed on the P10? I saw some reviewers complaining about WiFi performance being way inferior compared to other 2017 and 2016 devices. Like P10 barely reaching 30mbit download speeds on 100 and more Mbit networks.

Is it a 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz network? My current device - OnePlus 3 performs very good on 5Ghz but on 2.4Ghz it only reaches maybe 20mbit. And I use a 150Mbit broadband link at home. My wife's iPhone 6s easily tops 100mbit on the same WiFi.
The issues that some YouTube reviewers reported with the P10 looked like the one I have with my OP3.
I am considering an upgrade to P10 and I really want it to be an upgrade
Ufs 2.0
Not bothered about the silly bollocks thing as this p10 is the best phone iv had, certainly the fastest, coming from owning every HTC flagship since 2011

My first Huawei, and I really like it, choose this over the S8 and G6, it's a shame the pink version isn't available in Hong Kong, we only have the blue, black silver and gold, whiles china also have a pink and green, anyway, I intend to change the metal back, it's readly available in china very cheap, and seeing youtube, it's also very easy to change.
Also I get 42Mbps with 2.4Ghz and over 98Mbps with 5Ghz in wifi.
Not recommended to buy, I think xiaomi 6 more affordable

I have tried both on 2.4 and 5Ghz, though where I live internet speeds aren't so good, so the max I could have tested is 50mb/s. On both i always get over 48mb/s

it's down to personal preferences really, Mi 6 don't have a headphone jack and no micro SD card slot.
I've also owned a few flagships from HTC, Samsung and even iPhone.
Must admit that the P10 still is one of the quickest phones I've used. Battery does well, charging is quick.
Camera is fun to use and crisp. Fingerprint scanner is lightning fast. And I very much like the design of the phone.
Could've gone without EMUI, but given the opportunity to buy another P10 or a different flagship, I'd still opt for the P10.
I have 200/80 connection here in Bangkok. The P10 hits maximum with 5G connection. I find my 3 year old Samsung Galaxy Tab S hits consistently better speeds from further away, when compared to the P10. Hence, I use 2.4G when I am downstairs.

Unfortunately it's more than hardware that determines this. Hopefully they communicate with the buyers more and update the OS quickly and frequently. If Asus is smart they'll send developer phones and work with the mod community like they're doing for the Zenfone 6. Unfortunately while there are plenty of examples of what to do to get loyal customers and brand evangelists most refuse to do the usually simple things required to achieve this.

China version 8+128GB, 500USD. Not pricey.
500USD? That’s gotta be because of the Tencent (owner of PUBG) partnership. No doubt in my mind that phone comes with some Tencent bloatware.
International version will definitely be more expensive though, especially if the bloatware’s not on it.
I heard they are also working on a stock android version reminds me of the Google Play Edition phones.

Definitely understand, no issue with display either. The screen protector it comes with is a little bit cheap. Going to buy Front and back protectors from Mobile Outfitters. They make great products especially for hard to find phones.

So far geeting Down 550 Mbps Up around 60 Mbps max to 11 Mbps min.
Will test different areas for the sake of my crazy OCD in speed tests :silly:

Well, I hope that samsung releases a firmware that would allow you to connect to 5g..
In my area only one provider supports 5g but it's very expensive, so I will wait for more providers that will have cheaper 5g

Hope you get yours soon
I got the A90 5g as a contract upgrade about a week ago. I have unlimited 5g data as part of my plan but don't currently have 5g in my area until early 2020, so can't comment on the 5g but I managed to unlock the boot loader and root it. I will attempt to create custom recovery for it but that will take much longer.

That's great news, thanks for working on this phone
I will post a quick guide later tonight.
As far as the phone itself. I love (nearly) everything about it. The screen is large, the display looks great and is bright, the cameras are the best I've used (although I'm no expert by any means), it runs really smooth. Even some of the Samsung bloat is useful like game launcher. The battery is fantastic, charging time is very fast. Gaming performance is A++ with the flagship CPU.
"Bad" things....6gb of ram, I had a RAZR phone with 8gb and you can tell the difference. I see they released a version with 8gb but alas mine isn't.
The fingerprint sensor doesn't seem to work as well in the screen as opposed to on the side or back where I'm used to it.
I also got this phone for "free" with my contact, I wouldn't exactly call £700 gbp mid range and I certainly would not have bought this on sim only. The Asus ROG would have been my choice with much better specs and a cheaper price tag albeit losing the 5g.
A90 5G Vs ROG 2

I managed to unlock the boot didn't root yet, still KT telecom bloatware on it it's annoying me even when i power up 5G KT logo stickin at bottom I just want to use my 5G package it's only giving me around 150+/- Mbps showing LTE+ i think it's network locked. Guess i have to wait for the global firmware or middle east cuz i reside their atm :crying: otherwise like what you said an awesome phone only downside 6GB RAM.
Thanks for sharing
Have to disagree with the ram comment. I also had and still have my Razer. The most ram i seemed to have in use on the Razer was around 3Gb meaning 4-5Gb Ram was just sat there... On my A90 theres still 2.1Gb of ram still not being used. The battery management miles better on the A90 than the Razer. The 120Hz LCD screen ate the battery after the last update (9) whereas the OLED panel is brilliant on the A90. DPI and resolution not as high as the Razer, but the overall picture still looks better on the A90. I do miss the Dual Dolby Atmos speakers on my Razer but the "Free Galaxy Buds" sound brilliant.
