[Huawei P8max] DaneLaw:
Havent read the hole thread so not sure what has been concluded, but my impression, is there is mainly two editions amongst the different versions.

only got the 703L, but it seems that comes in an premium and non premium version.. where premium meens with dot matrix flip case and premium headhphones in plastic casing, and 64GB version, and some vip crap and some huge sky-cloud and 1y gold membership, ewen thow a lot of this is funded in chinese apps, with difficulties in changing regions and take advantage from outside china

the 32GB version that cost siginificantly less, doesnt come with the org dot flip case, and with an cheaper pair of headphones and no smartcontrol and not in a plasticbox., and unsure of the vip +165gb skycloud is also part of the package along with gold vip, as i got with the 64gb version..

thats the impression Im left with amongst 32gb vs 64gb..

have yesterday just purchased another p8max in grey for my mom (assume its the 703L).. allready got an p8max in silver purchased 8 months ago at Banggood for 490US shippped with coupon, and that was the 64gb with all the bells and whistle, and brown org-dot-cover included and supprinsinly good headphones for an following-mobile-edition..and really is an great phone, with an outstanding screen, and huge kudos forto Huawei fo r jumping of the spec race and priotising screen quality, will certainly prefer an an good fhd panel, then an avarage 1.5k to 2k panel, and partically when you chilling in the world of android, where fhd is ideel..(really an good screen with the price in mind, and when i sum up the package to 290us as of present, shipped and +12us for an org dot-cover.. i still fell this is an great deal, another thing that has impressed me is the low light shots and functions in cam. and takes solid pictures on tripod an pano in full and with controlled-shutter on talkband b2, or the very ideel take pictures voice-functions.

and reckon since the 32gb version grey cost around 290US shipped, it would be best choice for an new phone for my 60year old mom to exchange her old galaxy s4.. she allready got the talkband b2 i gave her at her 60year birthday, so an grey 32gb p8max would be ideel for what she need and priotise.. and the lack of cover is okay, since you can easely just purchased it for it yourself in the color you need.

I purchased the white org-dot-matrix cover for her and would look good with the grey silver.. - the org p8max huawei dot-flipcover comes in 4 colors and cost around 12US shipped, so it aint the world if you need to purchase it seperately. and the saving in 32gb versus 64gb-price certainly makes the 32gb attractive..

now i just hope that it aint get caught in custom, and it will go thrue as the the first from banggood wich arrived wichout to much hazzle..

the 703L doesnt take 4G on the one carrier i tryed here i Denmark (was the scandinavia carrier "3") and likely do to the lack of the mentioned band20, but the 3G was actually a little fast then the 4g band in download when testing an comparing, and gave me around 25mb down on p8max on the balcony here in CPH, but the upload is pour on 3g where it clocked around 2 to 4mb where as 4g device was in the 10-30mb upload, in the same place

3g around the 25mb here in copenhagen, is fine enough, and doesnt make it a must to get band20 LTE support, on new p8max devices at least in my situation where most is on wifi and for the significantly higher cost, hence the difficulties by banging down theinternational version in regards to the 290us 703l 32gb device..

have in mind on the 64gb premium 703l version it include 165gb skydrive huawei-style for a year, am using mine after making an account, but certainly aint as simple, due to foreign-text here and there as you are familiar with as in fx onedrive, ewen thow its a lot of the same features..but 165gb can come in handy, and partically if you already have paid it with the purchase..
