[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
There is most likely just like on Mate 7 an option to be able to swipe down or swipe up to move the navigation bar up and down. it works excellent on mate 7.

The only thing that is bad is that the navigation bar is only transperent in the home screen it turns black in all other application, this is not desirable since I would prefer to have it transparent at all times.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

In the video above she also runs the benchmark this confirms this is the fastest CPU right now unfortunately only total score was there, It would be nice to see single core score how it compares to

apple.

Anyway the biggest disspointment is as I did suspect the press pictures where modfified just like most manufactures do the screen does not go fully to the side but the screen have black borders around the picture, this makes a big difference in aesthetic, in plain english it looks like **** with black borders like that.. destroys the whole elegance shown in the press picture where the picture goes fully to the sides. I see all manufacture Photoshop this way, but I really think this should not be legal.

Besides this the phone looks amazing especially the gold version

Anyway I am still really disappointed it does not have amoled..that would made this one ultra good.

Anyway my hope is not totally out yet, we have seen different antutu benchmarks that suggest

that Huawei have a 2K phone to be released soon (most likely January as they have hinted)

We can make tha conclusion since in the antutu benchmarks whike the phone had the same

kirin processor and gpu it got a lower score, about 74 000, the only reason for that can be that the

2K display use a lot more gpu and there for lower the result, so yeah I would be very surprised if they did not release

a 2K display in january during the same day they will give FULL presentation of Mate 8.

If it will be Mate 8 variant with 2K or P9 or P9 Max version we will have to see, P9 max and P9 have already been confirmed

it is safe to assume bought will use the same Kirin 950.
[Mate 8 General] mke1973:
I've been looking at the FDD LTE band specs on this model at one of the sites of a Chinese vendor taking pre-orders from those outside China. If their specs are correct, this has AT&T bands missing on the Ascend Mate 7 specifically, those of us who need FDD LTE band 17 could get 4G LTE on this phone. (Maybe the biggest sign that Huawei intends to market this in the US.) Here's the link to the page with FDD specs I've been looking at--http://www.gizok.com/huawei-mate-8-4g-lte-4gb-128gb.html This may be my next phone if it truly has FDD LTE band 17; I can't get 4G LTE from AT&T in my area without it. I hope Huawei and/or US vendors sell it.
[Mate 8 General] Krystyna:
Currently, Mate 8 can not be sold in the US, you can buy from China.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Was wondering. What's the difference between the international version and the one you can only buy from China. Carrier specific bloatware? Does the international version typically come with more google (some of which is good)? Also,

I noticed that Honormi advertises the Mate 8 as Global 4G LTE. Any experience with with this company? Thanks!
[Mate 8 General] mke1973:
[/COLOR]

They launch in their home market first. The international launch will be after the CES show in January. They should let the public know the targeted foreign market availability date at CES and Barcelona. They're throwing alot of FDD LTE bands on this phone so it looks like most markets will see the same phone and the big options will be big onboaed storage.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Huawei have ha zero marketing of mate 8, so I think they will play on the big drum in january maybe they will introduce that 2K version.

There has been strong rumours about variants.

There have also been different benchmarks of the Kirin 950 which suggest that the one that did score 76 000 have a 2K display which explain the lower score..

Because the GPU need to work harder to push all the pixels.

With that said I am almost sure a 2K variant of either the Mate or P series will be released in january.
[Mate 8 General] mke1973:
International release probably won't be as early as January, but I suspect they may announce a 1st Quarter release. Huawei is definitely bringing the Mate 8 to CES in January and I suspect it will be taken to Barcelona, too. I really think the Mate 8 may be the next phone that they release in the US market since it has FDD LTE band 17, which is still essential for much of AT&T's 4G market in the US.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
I'm on T-mobile which uses band 2 and 4. Also listed in specs!
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
yeah they have already said they will play on the big drum on CES 2016.

so yes, but I am pretty sure they will unveil P9 and P9 max then also.

The reason why they in more or less "silence" wanted to push up Mate 8 now was to win the performance was, they currently have the fastest cpu on the market right now, unfortunately it is not much news coverage regarding that. They deserve more respect for that, sure new exynos is around the corner and will beat it but Kirin 950 was released on market first.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
It appears (at least on gsmarena and a few other sites) new P9max will be 6.2" and perhaps have better screen and camera than Mate 8. What do you think?
[Mate 8 General] mke1973:
I think Huawei makes a very decent cell phone. I have to say, after having had tons of analog Motorola phones (yeah, I'm showing my age) that performed well, I was very disappointed with the Moto G (first Gen). I still have my first Huawei Android phone, which has a replacable battery than I can still find, I use it as a small, portable VOIP headset at home. I plan on buying a Mate 8 if it really has FDD LTE band 17. I'd like NFC, fingerprint scanner and 3GB of RAM.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
the rumour that has been spreading is 3 variants of Mate 8, 5.5 inch and 6 inch with 1080p and 6.2 inch with 2k display.

It is possible that we will see a P9 Max which is 6.2 and 2k display and a P9 with 5.5 inches

A few "leaked" pics have been seen but they do not look much different then p8 Max so yeah nothing really convicing so far.

P series usually do not have a fingerpint scanner which is a dealbreaker for many.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
We shall see. About 5 weeks to go. Keep the rumours coming!
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
yeah...

Mate 8 is perfect..if it only had amoled screen.... like Mate S.

Mate S on the other hand is too small 6 inch is perfect and the batter is to microscopic on mate S

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

one of the reason why Huawei have kept such a low profile on mate 8 might be the there is 2 other variants of it coming..

it makes sense in that case. It was very much a "silent" release.
[Mate 8 General] Krystyna:
I found Huawei P9 Max: http://www.gizok.com/huawei-p9-max.html , in addition to the screen, P9 Max and Mate 8 no difference.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Hi. Did you mean "except for the screen" no difference? Also, looks like Mate 8 has many more frequency bands making it more compatible with T-mobile in particular. (uses bands 2 and 4 for LTE). Maybe too early to compare the Mate 8 and P9 Max. Also, assuming higher resolution on P9 Max, wonder how batter life is effected...
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
That picture of the P9 max has been out kind of a long.. I would take it with a big grain of salt that it is real..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPgATGXaFcA

video of EMUI with Mate 8.

They have still not fixed proper multi tasking, I want standard multi tasking with the cards moving back and forward not the side like this

it is stupid and braindead way of "improve" multi tasking this way.
[Mate 8 General] Krystyna:
Huawei Mate 8 want to enter the US market, so need to support more 4G frequency, if Huawei P9 also want to enter the US market, so it will support 4G B2 and B4, I believe P9 will bring more surprises.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Yes, I agree. I don't understand why they set up the multitasking this way. I prefer the card set up. My n9 and jolla phone does that. I would also prefer the current rolodex view you see on most new android phones, over what's in that video.
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Exactely this crap multi tasking belong in kitkat and jellybean...

One of the strongest points of lollipop was the multitasking ... why won't huwawei listen ?

This is avery frustrating problem it is hard to fix this without root.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Just a little concerned that the lower score is due to a different processor used in version compatible for US carriers in later release.
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
The mate 8 is available on honormi.com for presale of the global version which has USA bandwidths. They're supposed to have their supply in on December 9th and will start shipping them out.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Yes, but is this the same model Huawei plans to showcase at CES?
[Mate 8 General] rowihel2012:
one of the worst os i ever use :crying:

it is very boring in my p8max
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
Idk. But it supports all global bandwidths, comes in the 3/32 4/64 and 4/128 versions with Google play installed.
[Mate 8 General] aloysxda:
Are you sure, the Mate 8 from Hornormi has different bands, than the Mate 8 from china ?

These bands are from the mate 8, who we can buy from china:

Cellular and wireless	Supports 4G(LTE) 3G(WCDMA) and 2G(GSM) networks

2G	SIM 1 : 2G (GSM)/ 2G (CDMA1X ), SIM 2 : 2G (GSM) / 2G ( CDMA1X )

Data	TDD-LTE/FDD-LTE/TD-SCDMA/WCDMA/HSPA+/DC

Do you see something missing compared with the Hornormi mate 8 ?

I don't know if this mate 8 is coming with playstore on it.
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
Idk. I just posted that honormi has them on pre order. People post questions about the product and honormi answered. That's y I said about Google services on the device. I'm just giving people options if wanting to purchase since its not available in the USA. It's kinda scary buying from a "Chinese middleman" but honormi is one of the few reputable ones.

[Mate 8 General] prfraczek:
Guys, I'm just trying to pre order one from China but there is NOT 4GB option in decent colors- silver or grey!!! Phone of the year with not European colors!!!!

Have you got any info about it? Can't imagine pickup gold phone while on the train!!!
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
Not available outside of mocha and gold for the higher capacity variants. If the P8 Max is anything to go by it may not become available at all in other colours in the higher capacity versions (perhaps if it sees a wider international release, but I doubt we'll see it short of that).
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
I would not pre order anything before CES to be honest. I think Huawei will unveil more variants and phones.

I am pretty sure they will have a 2 k variant
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
You know, it is so tempting but I'm gonna wait till CES...
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
yes sounds wise, also be sure that other manufactures will maybe release new stuff also on CES.

It is not like HUAWEI is the only choice. Regarding form factor and estetics I think they nailed it very well with

Mate 8, great body to screen ratio. However those black borders around the screen does really irritate me.

But I think this have to do with the fact they use LCD, if they would had used a amoled screen they could had bent the screen

slightly along with the curves on the site of the screen glass.

Lets beg for a 2k amoled version I do not care about price I just want one :)
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Yes. plus was wondering about the P8 Max. Any other phone you are considering?

In re price: Well, there are limits...
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Well I am open to any brand I am not loyal to any brend as long as it is intelligent design which means good to body ratio as big screen as possible

on as small surface as possible. Aluminum I think is becomming standard now, LG is the only one who stayed loyal to plastic they are going aluminum next year too..

Otherwise I am open to any brand...

Wit that said it is hard to find a phone that is perfect...

This is what I hoped Mate 8 would look like, it turns out that Samsung S7 might get this design it will be no bezels the screen will go all around to the back which looks cool.

I hope Huawei has more secrets to unviel, Mate 8 was a lot about getting Kirin 950 and fastest cpu performance to the market first.
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
I'm holding off for a few weeks, but the mate 8 will be mine lol
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
Well lets see how it performs also...the camera is still a big question marks... megapixels says nothing Nexus GP prove this point very much...

And I Guess this is the point that Apple have been trying to tell all time..
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
Meh, I'm going for it now, I specifically don't want a 2K screen here.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Looking forward to your review!
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
I agree with u about the 2k screen. Uses too much battery. I prefer battery life over 2k screen

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 PM ----------

With the release only less than a day away, there r now people on eBay selling pre orders. Bring on the mate 8
[Mate 8 General] skimminstones:
i did the antutu benchmark today on my nexus 6p, been thinking about changing it to the mate 8 when its eventually available in the UK. I see on the antutu it had a score of over 90,000. and beat the nexus on all but 2 tests.

interested to see a full review of this in the coming months.
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
Informed by AliExpress seller I have purchased from before that they received a single 64gb one, have purchased and will hopefully have early-ish next week.
[Mate 8 General] opteron88:
Pre-ordered the global edition 32gb set just launched today in China (with better LTE support) at around USD510 / RMB 3200 raw cost. All the local telco bands are sold out, indicating the very hot demand.

Official LTE specs from vmall.com Huawei's own store.

The newly launched Vivo X6 plus still has the old Cpu (and Mate S), so this is a no brainer. Qualcomm 820 will only be launched in Feb 2016, and the overheating problems need to be re-assessed again. Cant wait... :cool:

Anyone else would like to order? Forget the overpriced agent sites. :p
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Hi. I looked at a vmall site but could not find the Mate 8. Would you provide a link. Thanks!
[Mate 8 General] opteron88:
http://sale.vmall.com/mate8.html

All sold out. Next order at Dec 10. :cool:

latest Chinese review
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Thanks. Can you briefly summarize some of the main points of Chinese review. Anything about camera? Google play work on this?

EDIT: Looking at the camera shots in the link you provided the photos do not seem to be better than the iphone 6s...

Unless I'm wrong. A little disappointing...
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
Anybody can take good/bad pics. It depends on the user imho
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Yes I agree. Btw, I don't think the pictures are bad. But I was hoping to see some improvement over what I currently use. I'm on Note Edge and pictures on that are pretty comparable to iPhone. IPhone might even be better in low light. Anyways I'm looking for compelling reasons to change to Mate 8. Not just break even. Right now there are pluses and minuses for me to change. Still looking into it more.
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
For me the reason to buy is that fingerprint scanner. Way more versatile than any other scanner on the market. Huawei has always led in the scanner market
[Mate 8 General] blackinfinity:
I think to some degree it is correct but there is also some facts, the biggest problem with smartphone grade cameras is that

they are sensitive to the suns position and backlight, I am not talking about taking pics in direct sunlight.

But you will notice most of the picture in todays camers end up like shadows..this has nothing to do with the user of the camera..it is just a simple fact..

Nexus 6P seem to be best as this now..to solve this problem where everyting looks like shadows.
[Mate 8 General] ronnie72:
High interest to the phone! Huawei Mate 8 is already SOLD OUT at many retailers. :D

Anyone ever hear of the expression "Look before you leap"?
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
Wait a week or two. watch actual user reviews, then place your order if u still want it.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Yes! That is the plan. Any thoughts about the P9 max?
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
Hh

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

Haven't seen the specs on that one. I wonder if it will support USA bandwidth. The p8 max didn't. All I know is huawei is now a world wide contender.
[Mate 8 General] qjsmartphone:
do they ship to the US?
[Mate 8 General] Lirkaren:
What do you guys think of 3:d party development for this phone? Do you think there will be some roms like AOSP or CM? I am thinking of bying this phone but my brain says no sense I want a phone that will last 3+ years and the phone is running on there own SoC without released source code I think.
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Well, you ask an excellent question, which is one of my biggest worries. My guess is that there will be a big gulf between the amount of development you see on Huawei's Nexus 6P (or many Samsung devices for comparison) and the Mate 8. You might check the development sections for the Mate 7 as an indicator. Unless I'm mistaken, it does not seem that extensive. For me, if I could get root and run Xposed I could survive. Currently, I do not think Xposed works on Mate 7 (unless you are on KitKat...). Of course, this is just my opinion and I hope to be proven wrong!
[Mate 8 General] qjsmartphone:
ahem does the huawei vmall in china ship to the US?
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
As per the earlier post on this - don't count on development. If that's a requisite for purchase then look elsewhere. If Root/xposed would be sufficient then obviously wait a little and see whether a Root method is forthcoming.
[Mate 8 General] qjsmartphone:
nevermind I will check chinatown to see if huawei mate 8 will be available in the US that way.
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
Squeeee! Tracking number received, should hopefully have it before end of next week.
[Mate 8 General] aloysxda:
My China seller gave me also an tracking number. This Morning I had contact with the seller and told me that this morning, china time, he shipped out a couple of Mate 8. He showed me a foto of a pack from 8 boxes Mate 8, who went out for shipping. I guess next week wednesday or thirsday the bell in ringing ;);)
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Sounds exciting! Anyone in the US order?
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
I'll be placing my order on Wednesday!!! I'm in the US. I'll keep u informed on how it goes
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Definitely keep folks posted. Have you decided where to buy it from?
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
Either honormi or amazon
[Mate 8 General] mscion:
Thanks. The Mocha and Champagne versions seem less expensive on honormi. Is there any seller that has a no questions return policy?
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
Right now the mocha is on back order. Idk if anyone has the mocha yet.
[Mate 8 General] EMF:
Only the Champagne gold color seems to have been released for now (several sellers have informed me of that). One seller have answered that they expect the mocca to be released on dec 20 but I guess nobody knows for sure when it will be available.
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
From the guys I've talked to, they have both colors black and silver for the 3/32 and only the gold for the 4/64 and 4/128. I just wish they would have made a silver in the higher speced ones
[Mate 8 General] opteron88:
It's the Chinese mindset. Gold color is reserved for the elites. I've got the silver Moon one. :p

With the built-in internal mini-SD card slot, there's no need to pay extra for for 64 Gb.

Latest update: stock is received in the Guangzhou warehouse on Sunday after 2 days of logistics delay due to over demand and is on its way thro' DHL to Singapore. :laugh:
[Mate 8 General] ogre del:
I want the 64gb mainly because of the extra gig of ram. The 32gb only has 3 (which is great) but I'm greedy and want the 4gb of ram.
[Mate 8 General] NZtechfreak:
Speak for yourself, I actually need 64GB of internal storage despite having a 200gb card :)
