[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] ladxxdal:
Can't tell you take this one or that one, it's up to you but I am/was nearly in the same situation, here's my situation atm:

I've been using the M7 for 3 years now and I'm in love with the design still now. I also got the purple tint issue with the camera but within the legal guarantee period I managed to get it replaced by HTC.

But unfortunately I got some battery issue with it for several months now(it shut's off around 25/30%). I sent it to China to get the battery replaced.

I expected better design from HTC but the 10's design is not really my cup of tea (too far from M7 and not in a better way imho). I already manipulated both devices ( 10 and P9 ) and the 10 didn't attracted me at all. The P9 on the other hand seemed gorgeous to me(titanium grey with the black camera bar atleast). And honestly that's the only reason I choose the P9 over the HTC 10.

Sometimes you can say if it's about the price, get the cheapest even if the one that cost more can give you better things though you're going to change it soon.

In my case this doesn't really apply. The reason is I don't care about the price as I tend to keep my phone more than 1 or 2 years. I never really chose my smartphones because it was cheaper than another or because I wanted to show off my high priced phone. If one device catch my eyes I look for their overall performance. If it's good enough I try them to decide if I keep it or not.

So here I'm for two weeks now with the P9 . I got back my M7 too monday aaaand it still rocks :D

I ordered the P9 on amazon(~550€) to try it for 30 days. Now I've the choice to keep the M7 with it's brand new battery or the P9.

As I still don't know which one to keep, if I had to compare with the M7 here's some of plus points for me, it's personal (keep in mind that the m7 is a 2013 flagship and the P9 is a 2016 flagship, three years separates them) :

The fingerprint reader, blazing fast, can keep secure apps from friends/family w/o having to type password or whatever.

Slimmer.

Almost same size(little bit taller) as the M7, I don't really feel the size difference.

Fully charged in 90 minutes with a quick charge 3.0 charger. The M7 with the same charger takes up to 160 minutes.

Overall battery life (though there's 700 mA difference between the two devices so I guess it's to be expected). I can go out without to carry a powerbank with me( for now atleast)

Battery drain almost nonexistent compared to my M7.

I can finally zoom on pictures I take ( :victory: ) and they are enough good for smartphone photography.

If you're a Sense fan you can get it on the P9 too from here some says :confused: . I personally used Nova launcher on my M7 so the experience is almost the same for me.

Can't feel any weight difference neither

etc

As you can see, no real plus point that can help me decide to abandon my loyal M7. Except two things : the fingerprint reader and the battery life.

If I had to add something in your choice between the P9 and the 10:

For me, the power we get nowadays in our flagship smartphones is rarely used to it's full potential. Thus no need to go grab the most powerful processor with the most gigs of ram IF the rom/system is well tweaked imho.

Games on mobile is ****ty ! Only time pass/loss games are worth playing on a smartphone. And that's because there's no physical button (don't tell me you can plug/connect a controller, you ever tried play a game on your smartphone on the subway with a controller?). If you want a beast that can play every game you can throw at it, play it on your portable console which has the required physical buttons and specs or better just play it on a console or pc ;)

The HTC's new UltraPixel technology is still not on point trust me and the cameras are smartphone cameras. End of discussion. If you really need good pictures, go get a good compact(around 600€) or a dslr because there's physics barrier that neither HTC neither HUAWEI can break.

They have both the same size battery, again it depends on the tweaks.

Maybe with the 10 you'll get updates sooner(good) as HTC tend to become nexus phones by diminishing the Sense footprint and become more stock(not so good imo) with the new Sense interface.

You might get a better community support with the HTC than the HUAWEI.

bla bla bla bla bla bla

That's all I can say about these two and I think I can be applied to almost all other flagship of this year(, last year, ... :crying: )

Maybe my reply can help you, maybe not. Just listen to your heart :angel:

I'd say Honor 7 but it tends to be old ( depends of the pov oc) so why not wait to see what brings the Honor 8? :cowboy:
