Just wondered if anyone has any info on when we can expect the P9+ to hit the stores in the EU? I keep asking local vendors but they don't seem to have any information yet. Holding out for the P9+ as I reckon it'll be worth it over the P9, but I'm so desperate for a new phone I may cave and get the P9 instead!
I was in the Shanghai store today and maybe this weekend here in china. Apr 30-May 1 Probably won't hit Europe for another couple weeks. I already prepaid but I don't know where I am in the queue. If not they told me next batch here is a few weeks after that. I'll see if I can get it.. ??.

The lack of information is starting to annoy me now. If I could get the 64Gb version of the P9 I'd opt for that, but the UK seems only to be getting the 32Gb version and I'm reluctant to go down the grey import route.
Between 10 and 20 may, in that time V8 gets announced.

I hope so, I saw 20th May mentioned at the time of release. I can certainly wait that long, just hope it pops up websites for pre-order sooner rather than later!
Got the phone on April 30th Chinese 128Gb version. The chinese 64Gb version doesn't have the pressure touch feature. 128Gb was 4388rmb. Installed all gapps once I got home just fine.

Hello.
I am from Germany. My Huawei P9 plus was sent to me today. It will arrive tomorrow or next week at Tuesday.
So here in Germany you can buy it. Price: 661 Euro.
I had P9 for 2 days and Mate 8 for 2 month. The P9 was too small. But the camera was so excellent that I decided to buy the P9 plus. I hope this was a good decision ?
Sorry for my bad English. I hope you can understand me.

No, not locked. Maybe O2 Firmware. I will get it today an can report later.
Hello.
Handy arrived a few hours ago. I'm really fascinated about this device. Feels much faster than Mate 8.
No O2 firmware. Everything original Huawei.
Double speaker are not as expected. The single speaker in Mate 8 is way better. Camera is fantastic. Display is very nice.
What do you want to know else?

Okay, sorry to keep going on about it, it's just that I believe the phones that O2 sell in the UK are locked to their network. I'll take a look at ordering one from Germany! Thanks!
No, no!!! It is ok. Some years ago it was almost the same in Germany. The handys from O2 always had firmware from O2. But now you will become unbranded hardware. There is no branding at all.

What maybe will be interesting for people who are interested in buying a P9 plus: the notifications LED is NOT included in the speaker like P9 where you almost can't see it. The LED is extra on the left side next to the front camera. That is positive.
Apparently nougat is delayed till later in the year on p9 lite glad I am going to sell it
Just seen this on GSMArena

you're right. but honestly I would've loved if they would skip 8.1 and go straight to 9.
Morning guys .
i have plans to get the Moto x4 64gb (android one) is on sale on bestbuy but i have a couple of questions
1-What will be the latest android version that this phone will get ? ****currently on Android pie .
2-how is the support on xda about this phone? like root and roms etc
Thank you guys!
1. Pie is the 2nd major update for X4, so it is probably the last.
2. Since X4 is not a true pixel/Nexus device, it has very limited developer support.
Just my two cents - I bought mine in the summer (2019) for $299 because, at the time, that was a deal off the $400 asking price. Now, as often as they are seeming to "fire sale" or bogo, I would assume they are getting close to EOL. That said, for < $200 it's still a great deal for a phone.
Just bought a second X4, as it has been a great phone.
Project Fi ($6.25 monthly over 24 months = $150).
Being that you can install GSI ROMs on this phone, I feel that we should be able to keep this phone updated for the foreseeable future.
Pie will likely be the last major OTA update. Monthly security updates will be published OTA until Oct 2019. As was stated above, there are numerous ways to load other ROMs (for Android Q), the phone is easily rootable and Motorola allows you to unlock the bootloader right from their website. For the $135-150 they are selling it, you are getting a VERY good value.
Looks like there's a Valentines Day sale - $149/$199 (32gb/64gb)

Not buying the Gookill scare tactics.
