[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazmaniiac:
I have to disagree with you and I'll explayin you why, please take some time to read that:

A launcher is just a small part of what makes a phone worth buying, not only looking at the fact that you can replace it so easily and also that stock launchers are way worse than custom launcher anyways, but also because this phone offers a lot more than just its launcher.

Take me for example:

I love rooting and testing roms, flash things on my phone and customize it till it's perfect. Still I choose this device, a Huawei which has such a weak modding scene, there are almost no roms while other phones like Samsungs and HTCs or any other brand with so many great roms, so much community support and so on. Still I bought this phone because it has a huge screen which is perfect for me because I love watching videos, series and animes. I could also get a galaxy note, which has all the modding and community stuff I previously mentioned. But they are way more expensive and I don't want to spend too much on a phone because I have other things I need money for. Then why didn't I choose the Huawei P8 Max with an even larger screen and better specs? Because it's too big in my opinion, it's not really comfortable in my everyday life, holding it with one hand is really difficult. Next factor is the look and feel, if I pay hundres of euros for a phone I want it to feel like it's worth the money, and this phone definetly does, it's aluminium, the screen to body ratio is great and the overall looks is fantastic. Then I need much space for all my music because I listen to music where ever I go, and this phone has an sd card slot. I also love the fingerprint scanner, it's way easier and faster than unlocking with an code. And most of the bad things about the phone are the things I don't really care about: camere is not the best, but I only make some photos at parties or some snapshots to send them to my friends, none of that requires a good camera and if it would I would rather spend my money on a real camera and not on a phone. The cpu/gpu is also not the best anymore since you get better specs with the newer and cheaper Huaweis, but since I only do simple things with my phone and only play games which don't need much power (so none of the 3d/realistic games) I am satisfied with this phone. The software isn't the best too but I can live with an older android version, it works just as fine as the newer ones, and I don't really care for the security issues. EMUI also isn't the best software out there, but I replaced my launcher with smart launcher which I've been using for years, and the only thing from EMUI I notice is the notification bar, which works fine. Almost forgot the batterie: 4100 mAh (!), which is huge, the big screen drains some battery of course but by far not enough for this batterie.

Now tell me which phones you know which cover all of my claims? None. There may be some alternatives which are similar to the mate 7, but none of them is better.

I hope you actually read this and change your mind, and if not atleast don't insult people as retards for having different prioritys than you when buying a phone.
