Hard to tell... I'd check out the youtube reviews... Most have good camera opinions... I'm quite happy with mine... HD vid looks nice and I always get good comments...

I got mine on a contract for free... I've seen as new quantums with a start bid of $199 on ebay pass in without a single bid...
ok many thanks really!! i love this phone... =) another little question: if you check for lg quantum on ebay you'll see that the phones locked to at&t are cheaper than the ones unlocked...so i wonder: if i buy a locked one (used) can i unlock it when arrives in italy? because i can't remember right where exactly, but i read that if i call at&t and explain them that i am an italian guest and give them the imei code, they'd give me the unlock code...is that right?
Hey, everyone.
I bought my Mate 8 about two weeks ago. After my personal HTC-Desaster over the last year, i couldn't be happier.
The only thing, that keeps me wondering, is this current OS...
Sooooo, i'm saying it out loud to start the discussion ...
Does anyone know, if and when cm13 for the Mate 8 will be released?
Don't be so much disappointed, if answer will be "never" ))

Huawei Mate 7, much older device, also Kirin cpu = doomed = zero custom roms.

Mate 8 will also remain without CM13 :crying:

I'm right there with you...
Maybe, they will change their mind? I mean so many producers first said, they would never share the code, and suddenly they did.
I guess this is the dividing line...
I'm usually the one recommending phones to people and this phone is a great one, however, if there is no potential to get any AOSP/CM based ROMs on this device, then it is doomed from my recommendation on a large scale.
We should start a petition to change this, but I don't know who will join and if we will be loud enough to get them to listen.
What is the main blocker in this? Source code, vendor blobs, proprietary something-er-other? Is the Kirin impossible to get working because of proprietary drivers? Sounds like we just need more higher level devs to crack this? Maybe we can start a bounty to buy a phone for a dev that has a track record of cracking this kind if issue? Just brainstorming.

This is the link to the Ascend Mate 7 thread where they discuss this exact same issue. Maybe we can get some of them on board or get on board with them to push HW!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/orig-development/cm-13-0-development-discussion-thread-t3314538
Thx a lot. I just posted our discussion at their board, with an invitation to join us, if they wish. Since it's same problem, we are all facing, i thought it might help all of us to work together.
The processor huawei is using is cool fast battery friendly long lasting but at the same time unique.. So not much support.. I myself am ready to saxrify custom rom support for such a premium device[emoji14]

Even if the odds are quite slim for success, the least i can do is trying...

I honest to god admit, i'm not an expert, but is this what you need for the developement of a custom rom?

I agree. On my last phone, HTC One M8, I have used CM for maybe a week TOTAL in 21 months. I have also used Google Play Edition ROM for maybe 2 months. I did not mind Sense ROMs as the performance was best with these, and they had good features as well.

Damn..
Have used CM13 on Samsung S4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G3. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Camera drivers are also often propietary. So if (will probably never happen) CM13 becomes a possibility for the Mate 8 there is always that issue as well.
I'd rather run a custom stock Rom with proper camera than an AOSP one without. And the Mate 8 is fast enough to be a great device, when using another launcher like Nova or Apex for example.
As always: YMMV, of course
For those who bought this device here it is the first "International ROM" from an Italian Blog.
https://forum.gizchina.it/index.php?/topic/718-zuk-edge-gizrom-10/
Obviously you have first to Unlock the device and flash TWRP.
The site is in Italian but Google Translate will do the work
I'd love to buy this phone but there's almost nothing about it and few ROM options, unfortunately

Yeah you're absolutely right. But i really like the Zuk Edge and i don't mind about picture quality because i never take a picture during the day (in the last 2 weeks i think i took 1 picture).
Modding is not so active yes, but a couple of Italian blog release custom ROM based on Stock ROM with GPS and multi-language. That's enough for me, ordered one yesterday!!

What I love the most is its size.
Camera is a real Con on this one. But as you said, if you don't take too much pictures, it's a great choice indeed.

Snap 821, UFS 2.1, ultrasonic Finger ID, 6GB ROM LPDDR4 for only 300 euro? That's a deal man. I owned for 2 years my beloved Nexus 6 and i was tired about modding etc etc, tired about stock UI. Tried a lot of ROMs but in the last 2 months i used my N6 original at 100%.
I just want to change, bought one Xiaomi to my GF and really appreciated (but not the unlocking BT method), try Asus from a friend. Modded a Xperia Z with Stryflex and try the last Xperia Home. "played" with Huawei and try out also one LeEco Le Max 2. Find the "chinese" OS funny and really smart.
I wondered about 1+3T but 170 euro more....i don't have so much to effort for a mobile.
I think this Zuk is the best for my daily use. Next week it will come to me, i will flash the international ROM and then give some conclusions.
Can someone post thoughts on battery life???
Thanks

Mine arrives this week.
Even better when I heard about 3k I thought it would be 5-6 hours, but the battery hit me.

I have choose and received zuk edge actually because z2 pro black is out of stock. I am very happy about zuk edge. Good phone. I don't have test if compatibility 4g+ but there is really band 20 inside.

sorry i saw it but wanted say that are more for other smartphone models anyway thank you :3
No. The device is too outdated and its s**t design makes you hate this phone even more + can bend very quickly. I'd suggest you to save more money to buy a better phone and not a 3 year old one!
...
Have weak points, but is good smartphone. For normal use very good, looks fine and works fine.
Hi, I think my P8lite was a great buy, I have had it for just 3 weeks, got it second hand for $85 (NZD) in good condition. At first I was thinking it was not a good upgrade from my old phone (vodafone smart prime 6 VF895) but the more i use it im liking it more.
Battery life is the only thing I could think to improve, its not terrible just not the best

I was thinking the same thing about the Mate SE since if the 7X were to get updated I would assume the Mate SE would since it actually has more RAM/storage in otherwise the same phone.
As a 7X user, this is wonderful
