[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Well today I was able to man handle a few devices. No info on Mate 8 US availability or compatibility of bands. The difference between Stanford and professional versions are simply 3gb or 4gb memory. No one knew or could be chided to talk Honor X3

Sony was quiet and I would bet against a Z6 Ultra, much as I think it would be good. 4K there would make more sense. With my shaky hands.

LeTV had a diverse Pavilion but spent about 10 mins talking to an engineer. All this is subject to my interpretation. The 6.33 LeTV Max Pro I think will be a direct sales hit. About size of an iPhone 6 plus except slightly wider. No bezels basically Thin. Snapdragon 820 should be good for devs. 4gb. 32, 64, 128gb. He mentioned no slot? On power the comeback of 820 being 40% faster while 40% less power usage. Screen is gorgeous. If you get the impression that I liked more than the 8, you are right. Camera great. Welcome camera supposedly one of the best. No google play but will be in US release (before Jun is the guess I was given)

When I get home I'll see if Jan post a few pics, taken on the X2
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Well I finally did it. I ordered a 64gb Mate 8 in Mocha Gold. It comes this week. I'm excited to do some roms for it. I'm still keeping one of my X2's though.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
AJ

Sounds great. I know the color choicevare minimal, like in 1 at 63gb. Is there a model number you are picking up, eg China cs Europe? All US ATT bands or like the 702?

Much more comfortable getting your exact type but don't know if waiting for US Mate 8 or Honor 8
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'm getting the Chinese model NXT-AL10. It's has all the US LTE Bands including Band 12 for T-Mobile. I got it from Gizok.com. I've puchased an X2 there, my fiance's M2, my buddy's M2 and now my Mate 8 there. Here's the link to the one I bought:

http://www.gizok.com/huawei-mate-8-4g-lte-4gb-64gb.html

I could have spent $100 less and got the gray 32gb but I wanted the Mocha Gold Color in 64gb. If it comes to the US eventually, i'm sure it will be watered down somehow and probably more expensive.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Fantastic. Looking at the Mate 8 forum, flashing the international ROM to the AL10 is reminiscent of the fastboot flashing of the img's. I am going to hang out until MWC to see about the Max Pro but I'm guessing I'll be gizoking an 8 soon.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I wanted the LeTV Max Pro but the small battery turned me off.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
I'm glad you are making progress on the Mate 8. Hanging out for 9 Apr Huawei announcement. P9 Pro looks interesting. LeMax Pro looks like first to announce the 820 but last to deliver.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I was waiting for the P9 Max as well but I don't think it will have the US LTE bands. The Mate 8 gets the same battery life as the X2 and it's easy to carry around. I'm also getting married next year so I'm trying to save up for the big day which will cost a small fortune so no new phones for me until the day after :D
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
AJ, Congrats.

Small fortune+. Like software - months of development/planning, and it goes so fast at execution time.

I get the married scorn of having 2+ phones, though my Note4 and X2 have held me longer than any others.

No US LTE? What are they thinking? Assumed it was similar comm set as Mate 8. When you assume......
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
So no P9 Max as a near term option and LeEco announcement later in the month. Mate 8 looking like a good option.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Actually the P9 (5.2") and P9 Plus (5.5") have all the US LTE Bands. I hope Huawei releases a larger version (at least 6.2") or I'll be passing on it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
If they would only announce that the P9 Max will exist, and nail it down to 6.2-6.8"

While it is nice that the P9 plus is 5.5" and overall dimensions less than an iPhone in addition to less resolution, the plus wasn't plus enough in terms of screen size. They should have at least announced the big family member.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Sanxion:
I was waiting for the P9 Max but I now doubt that it will appear. If it does exist or is intended to appear, it surely would have been announced with the P9 and P9 Plus.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Well the P8 lite was a late arrival for the US, though rumored. A little too little. A little too late. It had the bands though. I am surprised that the focus was on an S6 fighter in an S7 age, with a less than S7 edge size. Given the only growth area being in phablets, I am assuming the Mate series was good enough for for a holding action.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] alisaad619:
so it look like Xiaomi is going into the big phones segment

this is from there official forum

http://en.miui.com/thread-263585-1-1.html

FYI currently there biggest phone is 5.7" , so if I guess this Mi Max would be 6.5" (just a guess)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
The P9 Max should be out soon and will have full US LTE support. I'll be picking up one of those as the camera is as good as the one on the Galaxy S7. Sorry but the X2 will be sold after I buy the P8 Max but I'll still do the KangVIP ROM for it. Here's the camera shootout between the S7 and P9. The P8's camera is actually better in low light.

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2016/04/14/phone-camera-shootout-huawei-p9-dual-lens-vs-samsung-galaxy-s7-vs-apple-iphone-6s-plus/
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Yes, I hope it is the same as the P9 and P9 Pro.

Interesting today gizok listed the P9 Max and spec showed 6.2?" screen.

For me, that is better than the 6.8" rumor.

Once you buy, I'll be right behind you.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I saw their listing but I have a hunch that it's wrong and it will indeed be 6.9 inches. I'll be purchasing it as long as the battery is 4000 mah or larger. The camera(s) are awesome, like Galaxy S7 awesome and even better in low light. If it's 6.9 inches I'll most likely sell my X2 as I will have no use for it anymore. Have a look at this:

http://www.techtimes.com/articles/150623/20160417/huawei-p9-max-hits-gfxbench-with-massive-6-9-inch-display-in-tow-more-details-revealed.htm
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
LeEco Max 2 is 5.7". Counts that out.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Honor 8 too small. So much for Honor being the US relabel of many Huawei phones.

New Mate 8 coming?

So where is the P9 Max?

Xiaomi Mi Max?

Hate to say Note 6, despite 5.8", may be the most compelling.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] xunxun:
I started with Moto Droid, 3.7" when people were using Nokia.

Then I switched to Galaxy Note, 5.3" when people were playing with iPhone.

Changed to Nexus 4 for a while and then "Nexus 7" LTE + Nokia" solution due to the screen size.

Replaced the tablet+phone solution to X2 with 2 Sim slots and 7" screen.

What my next phone is? I don't know, but 7+" for sure!!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
The only thing harder to get than a high spec'd latest Android OS easy to custom ROM with dedicated xda dev support >6" phone with large battery is great is a 7+" phone with the same attributes :cyclops:
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Finally lots of mid rang 6-6.8" phones coming out, but until P9 Max actually comes out, the new dream phone is the Lenovo PHAB2 PRO. Less because of tango, more for size, display, battery, etc.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah. I'm saddened to say this but I think when the Phab 2 Pro comes out I'm parting ways with my X2 and picking up a Phab 2 pro. 6.4 inches is the perfect balance of size and portability to me. It would also be nice to have LTE, wifi calling and VOLTE working on TMobile. I really don't think Huawei is releasing a P9 Max this year but if they are they should do it before the Phab 2 is released.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Taxidermista:
More competition than ever:

Xiaomi MI Max => 6.44"

Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra => 6.8"
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I know. It stinks that none of them will get LTE in the US.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] aniym:
Reviews of the Xiaomi Mi Max are out:

28 min review on TechTablets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8RBH2MqS68

IMO, not particularly compelling, as it's still 1080P, still EMUI, still MicroUSB and and the design is fairly similar to the X2. Not enough improvements for me to consider upgrading.

The Lenovo Phab 2 Pro is a better bet for me, as it's definitely coming to the US, has a WQHD screen, and since it's a Project Tango device, chances are that there will be more involvement from the XDA community.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Taxidermista:
Small battery for so many pixels. It needs a 6000 or 7000 mAh unit.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
4050 mAh is no slouch in this class. Bigger than Note 4/5.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
I am happy with my Mediapad X2 GEM 703L and Mate 8 L29.Both very good Batterylife
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Hmm. Maybe Huawei in the race again... "Rumored to be the Honor 8 Max, the new phone, which bears model number EDI-DL00, seems to feature a gigantic 6.6-inch, 2,560 × 1,440p resolution display" - Android Headlines
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
Right now it is possible that X series might be discontinued. Even Huawei has recently trademarked "Nexus 7P" name. Maybe they are doing Nexus 7 this year and not releasing any other 7 inch device might be part of game.

I see 2 major problems with other 6.4 and 6.8 inch devices. First none of them are of flagship performance. Why is nobody releasing a high end tab-phone these days :(. Second, the aspect ratio, all these devices are 16:9, while mediapad x2 is 16:10. This reduces screensize by close to 9-10% in devices of same diagonal size. So these devices will be much smaller in screen area compared to X2. Smaller than you expect.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Bob May:
What about 6.4" Lenovo Phab 2 Pro or 6.8" Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra?

Both of these devices have decent specs and Snapdragon processors, which are much more developer friendly than Huawei HiSilicon Kirin processors.

Resolution wise, yes it's 16:9, not 16:10.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
yes they are decent and not high end. their antutu score is 75k. these days flagships are running at 140k.

when x2 came it was at 50k wbile market bigh was 60-65k.

besides 10%loss in screen is a lot for me :(

given the advances in mobile nowadays huawei can easily fir 7.5 inch screen in current dimensions of x2. maybe nexus 7p will be something
[Huawei MediaPad X2] aniym:
It's possible maybe, but the potential market likely isn't big enough for Huawei to bother. I love my X2, but even I have to admit that there are times when its sheer size is very inconvenient. Taking good quality pictures with one hand for example is nearly impossible.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
I'm cool with the 16:9 for pocket and entertainment factor, but the low specs are an issue for a 2 year device. I was shocked to see the Phab Pro tango with mid range specs.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'd be most interested in a U.S variant of the Zenfone 3 Ultra. It would be nice if they would release one. The snapdragon 652 isn't all that bad and it will keep the price from being ridiculous. It also could get Cyanogenmod. I'd also like to see a U.S. version of the Mi Max. At this point I'd rather go with something at 6.44 inches than 7 inches.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
Now this may be a serious contender. Accoring to the Verge, it will "eventually" come to the US!

http://www.gizok.com/huawei-honor-note-8-4g-lte.html

I'm finding it already hard to contain my drool!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
If they made a Snapdragon variant I'd buy one. If it's a Kirin I won't buy one.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
I'd personally take a Kirin 950 (or 960) any day over a lower-end SD 6xx CPU. The ZenFone Ultra 3 for example has a very mediocre SD 652. What is this 1942? :P ;)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
Mediocre..really? :rolleyes:

Guess we all have different needs. I dont game on my phone, just multimedia, browsing and just need a CPU that is snappy, does not slow down due to overheating and is power efficient. Others may want the fastest thing no matter how hot it gets in order to get maximum fps and benchmarks. I used to be that person but dont have time for that now. ;)

The Zenfone Ultra looks like a fantastic alternative to me BUT now that I am getting used to the screen format of the mediapad, I am not so sure I want to change.

Other than the the rather weak Wifi performance (I still manage but bothers me that is so weak compared to every other device I got), the device is really becoming my favorite.

LTE is not important for my needs either so now I am not so sure I need a new phone...just wished it had NFC...its the only thing that hurts me right now.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
It's actually not as mediocre as you think. My Mi Max has a Snapdragon 652 and you would think it was an 810 the way it flies. When I bought it I didn't think it was gonna be that fast but it is. Seriously, nothing can slow it down, it's as fast as my Mate 8 was with a Kirin 950. The 652 is actually a fast chip, use one and you'll see what I mean. I already have CM13 running on my Mi Max so I'm all for anything with a 652 or better.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
I don't game either, but when it comes time to dunking down $400 or more for a smartphone you'd want the biggest bang for the buck. The OnePlus 3 (although I'd never go for one because of its MICROSCOPIC size) has an Sd820, which destroys the competition. Also the Le Max Pro (X910) has an SD820. There are alternatives as well to the Zenfone Ultra 3 such as the Honor Note 8 which has a Kirin 955, which is just a few hairs shy of their 960 flagship. :)

Good Point. I never actually used one, but assumed based on its 1.8 Ghz clock cycle and benchmarks that it would be a slouch.

Now if we can get a 7" screen, with 2K, and >= 4GB of RAM and US LTE Support I'd jump the gun. Sadly the closest thing right now is a Mate 8, which is too small. The X2's form factor is perfect.

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

Anyone know where I can even get a Zenfone Ultra 3? All I'm seeing are ebay rip offs asking for $700 or so when the "official" pricing is in the $450 neighborhood.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
I am really getting more and more used to the form factor of the x2 indeed. Have to say that carrying my Xperia Z Ultra seems slim now because the X2 is wider but also for the first time my Xperia looks small in comparison :D

I just really like this 16:10 format better right now and this is beginning to change my ideas of getting the Zenphone 3 or any other phone with a different format.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You're not the only one who likes 16:10 better than 16:9. The only thing 16:9 is better for is video and that's pretty much it. Web browsing and apps like Facebook and Instagram are a lot better on a screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. I see why most phones are 16:9 because of the easiness to grip but I do prefer a 16:10 aspect over a 16:9. In the US we can't even get a phone over 5.7 inches now so our options are really limited. Thank God for these Chinese phones or I'd probably still have my old Nexus 6. I have a MI Max now and even at 6.44" the screen seems a little smaller when you hold it up to the X2. Plus browsing websites in landscape mode is useless at 16:9.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shassouneh:
+1 to both of you. I "tried" to use a Nexus 6 for 2 or 3 days to "force" myself to get used to more "normal" sizes and enjoy benefits like LTE and vanilla android, but couldn't deal with the "microscopic" size any more. Plus it breaks one my primary usage scenarios, watching YouTube in the car using the magnetic dash mount. I know I know unsafe, but its a great way to brush up on Engineering concepts before driving to go take a test :D :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Honor Note 8

Will Huawei release the Note 8 in the US? In any market?

The non-Note seems to have great specs.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
They said they are releasing the Honor 8 here in the US but I bet they won't release the Honor Note 8 here. I hope they do though. I bought a Mi Max and even though it doesn't get LTE here the battery lasts longer than the X2's but I'd love an Honor Note 8 that works with LTE.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
It seems like the perfect combination for folks on this thread.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
I'm looking at the Honor Note 8 Premium Edition Dual SIM TD-LTE EDI-AL10 which (since it appears to be the China/MidEast version) ostensibly hits 3 of 4 LTE bands (LTE	B30 (2300 WCS) is the one not included).

Will there be a ajsmsg78=-ike dedicated soul to make this usable? Is it worth it regardless?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Mate 9?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Prophetic as always. We could sure use your help over in Mate 9 land.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I'm thinking of getting a Mate 9 but two things are stopping me. Price (I'm getting married in August) and size (I want something over 6.2 inches)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Maybe we can create a fund to buy one. Know how it tightens up closer and closer to the big day.

I truly would like this bigger than 5.9, but options minimal. It is definitely not the higher powered Note 4 and X2 size hybrid. It is pretty amazing that the size with the bigger screen but overall dimensions of an iPhone 6 plus.

The Zen AR looks interesting. Phab 2 Pro underpowered. I was disappointed in the Mix as kind of the goal but thick and just not as amazing as my expectations were built.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
Here I am STILL looking for an upgrade path from the X2 but with my love for the big screen and aspect ratio it looks very hard for me to find one :D
[Huawei MediaPad X2] bark1234:
exactly same here.

i would pay any price if someone makes bezelless 7 or 8 inch 16:10 device.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
It would be good to have at least one choice. Using Mate 9 and screen too small. Maybe a mi Max 2+ with more power / specs or at least US LTE the elongated 18.5:9 really doesn't give the big screen feel for the diagonal length.
[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActuallyVic:
Is this right? 115 mb is the installed size of the app (excluding app data) after it is updated. This is on my 530t with 5.1.1. The Play Store lists the app size at just under 40 mb, but it installs to 115 mb. Is something off with this? Seems crazy large.

The other strange bit is that the update didn't self install. I had to install it from the Play Store after apps complained it wasn't up to date. I thought Play Services updates automatically in the background.

[Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshark:
I bought Turbo 2 on Nov 5 and was nothing but disappointed with phone hitting up even with minor use (jumped from 76f to 106f in matter of mins when used), fast battery drain (3 hrs of screen time) and poor standby time (14-16 hrs max). I returned it and exchanged it for another (given I was in 14 day period).

New one is living up to expectations... With 4-4.5 hrs of screen time and day and half of standby times). In looking at phone, I noticed that notifications shade settings icon are rearranged in a different fashion compared to first one. Which got me thinking if there are multiple builds (software and hardware)??

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidRaven:
I've noticed that when using YouTube and playing something through a PLAYLIST and tilting the phone towards the right that the volume will cut out until the screen has rotated. The volume will also cut out when tilting the screen from the right position to the straight up position.

After more testing I have found that this issue exists when playing any video from any app or gallery that the video is being played from.

This does not happen when tilting the phone to the left.

I have the 6P and I've noticed it on all 6Ps I've come across.

In order to get fixes for things like this we need people to confirm the issue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TD0711:
just found your post on here when i looked for youtube app issue with 6p. I tried yours and can confirm that audio was cut off when rotate to the right instead of left. i do have another issue atm that everytime when try to watch vids from youtube in landscape from my playlist, went back to playlist and it already scrolled back to the top and not at current position like my other phones. However if in portrait mode it is fine to stay where i watch when go back to the list. Is there anyone has this issue or just me? thanks
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiv.maneyapanda:
Same issue here with playlists not holding its position. Also, sometimes while scrolling in playlist the app crashes.:rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toknitup420:
Does this happen outside of the YouTube app. For instance take a video on your phone and test it like you do with YouTube. If it doesn't cut out then at least it's narrowed down to YouTube.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidRaven:
This is an issue that exists in the entire phone and not just youtube. You can play a recorded video from your gallery and try rotating your phone and the same issue will appear.

Has nobody else noticed this?........I am shocked!!!

Come on guys chime in
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
The audio does cut out for a bit, but it actually makes sense! When holding the phone in portrait mode or rotated left, the top speaker is the left channel and the bottom speaker is the right channel.

Flip the phone to the right, and the speaker positions are reversed, so the phone has to reverse which channel each speaker corresponds to. Being that it has to switch the audio, there probably won't be a fix for it.

Note this happens with any audio source.
