Mate 9 for battery life.
P10 + for speakers
Both are good camera phones.

I had the Mate 9 and I'm currently owning a P10 Plus.
Pretty much they are the same phone, with 1 big difference: battery life.
I don' t know what Huawei did with this EMUI 5.1., but is total garbage. Battery life is really bad, and you won't be able to make more than 3 hours SOT over a day. Is a total shame:

On the mate 9 I could get easily 8-9 hours SOT, and I thought with this P10 Plus would be something similar because of the similar specs, but is the other way around. Performance is good, as well as camera and every other thing you can imagine, but this battery totally sucks. There is people who claim that there's a beta that fixes this, but still no word of ETA.
Anyway, if you are having a hard time deciding these 2 devices, I would say check first the Mate 9 Pro, that pretty much is the combination of both. I'm seriously considering giving back the P10 Plus and get the Mate 9 Pro, because are almost identical specs and price.

Why?
On GSMARENA test, it seems that Mate 9 is louder.

You have to take in mind that P10 and P10 Plus have different audio systems, and the latest has double speakers as well, more like the Mate 9 arrangement, which makes a big difference.

But the it's louder than the Mate 9 or the sound quality is better? Or both?
Sorry, but that is important to me.
EDIT. Are there differences between them about cellular strenght?
Thanks, again.

For me they are pretty similar, both in quality and loudness.
Regarding the cellular strength, nothing to worry about, Huawei always make the devices with the best reception.

Mate 9, cheaper and better performance if you can deal with the size. Only loss is the faster lense on camera

Huawei Honor 6 plus leaked with Metal Frame..
http://www.gizmochina.com/2014/12/09/huawei-honor6-plus-leaked-metal-frame/
Still not clear if Honor 6 plus comes with the 64bit Kirin 930 or not.
I have also seen huaweimobileshop website reported: Huawei Honor 6 Plus With Metal Frame
Huawei Honor 6 Plus very likely using metal frame, very looking forward to the release of honor 6 plus.

It is for sure metal frame. Clearly noticeable from pictures on TENNA. Makes sense also because one of the design comments many reviewers had made about the Honor 6 is that it had a plasticy frame that made is seem less premium, but me personally find it comfortable and ergonomic to hold than the metallic frame.

Mines on the way; it already got shipped to US and they received it (my cousin); hes bringing mine next week when he comes to Peru for holidays; bought it from oppomart (got a 3-4 day delay but got shipped and package received). Will review it once I physically get it.
May be not quite the first. A couple of us had them last week and already been busy unlocking and rooting them. But they are a great phone.
Got mine last sunday and it was awesome

Share your antutu scores please.

Hello haven't got this phone yet but very interested to see your antutu scores please.

Cheers was hoping that we would have higher scores. I know that these don't mean much to some but am kinda fixated on them lol. Thanks for sharing.
[emoji14] When we get custom kernels/roms those figures will be higher I'm sure. The phone absolutely flies tbh, especially with animations set to .5

I'm happy enough, that's about where I'd expect to be.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Wow! I'm only at 42734!
Yet the phone still stutters and lags more than a nexus 5. Benchmarks are pointless.
Nothing special, but I'm happy with it.
Stock without mods. I get 45000+ on my Galaxy S5 running CyanogenMod 12.1 but side by side, the 5X works much smoother and quicker with less app refreshing.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
hmm, thanks for sharing guys. My Wifes galaxy s6 clocks over 60K. These are pretty much same price if looking at the right places. Still very torn but I suspect the 2gb of ram is the main culprit.
My S6E clocked in at 67,000, but it still lagged and stuttered more than my 5X. Also the constant home screen redraws and aggressive RAM management... It all just means that benchmarks don't always show the actual day to day user experience.
You should compare both Antutu results from the S6 and 5X. I'm sure it's probably everything in combination as the S6 has a better processor, RAM amount and type, and graphics processor.

They can't be compared, they are completely different devices from chips set to core / ram count. But maybe the biggest difference is that Samsung devices are "wired" to benchmark @ ridiculous levels. Its basically volkswagen emissions testing; hell I bet they share firmware engineers lol!
The 6p won't be able to push much further than a oneplus two or HTC m9. Next year will be more of an equalizer on chipsets if everyone goes with the snapdragon 820.
Nexus is an experience, IMO, and is all about device control and pushing android to its best levels possible.
Oddly enough, benchmarks vary a lot on my 5x, I suppose it has a lot to do with throttling and what not. I've ran Antutu 3 times and gotten scores of 37,000, 42,000, and 49,000.

49092 for me....
How did you guys manage to get higher than 43k?
I tried several times in different occasion and all end up around 43k...
Is there a way to optimize it or you just live in a cooler place?
Cooler place. I'm in Canada. I did mine outdoors

Honor 8 vs HTC 10

I'm coming up on an upgrade and the Honor 8 is an impressive phone, especially for the price point! But a few people said that the honor 8 like the new pixel phones probably wouldn't receive the dev support that others have... unlocked bootloaders and rooting are very important to me, I like full control. This is why I can't go w/ an Iphone!

Honor 8 loads apps faster? And according to gsmarena the camera seems to perform better in many circumstances

Honor 8 has flash for front camera and FM radio whereas HTC 10 has better screen resolution and DLNA support.
Honor 8 is at different Pricepoint, HTC 10 is in different price point. So this is unnecessary comparison I would say.

Oops, Sorry.
Its not yet released in INDIA yet. So got this info from here - http://www.fonearena.com/huawei-honor-8_7945.html
HTC 10 does have flas for front facing camera to, its just a gimmick that the screen turns bright white before taking the picture just like the Honor 8 does there is no actual flash or led or anything alike in the honor 8 front facing
Dev support for Honor 8 is an epic scam of XDA and Huaweii in conjunction. Sold mine. Bad quality build(glass too easily scratched),bad sound,below acceptable screen for my taste. Run with HTC 10 if u can afford it.

Just received and installed the official B126 OTA update (553MB) in the Netherlands.
Nice. Any changes to share with us?
added 6x zoom
Notification when password is needed for public wifi
status bar displays notifications in a clearer way
deleted unnecessary prompts
carrier parameters for better network
November security patches
Ah also in the Netherlands but no ota just yet hope it will arrive before I catch my plane to Spain tomorrow haha
That's great news! Thank you for sharing! :highfive:
It seems they tweaked the camera a bit, a bit sharper but more importantly better white balance

It seems it is a phased rollout, haven't got it either although couple of people here in the Netherlands already have it.

Have you guys updated from B110 to B126?
I was an B109SP02.
Gesendet von meinem Huawei Mate 9
And the good news is:
Camera is significantly improved. The blurriness, washed out pics are gone and the result is now very much on par with the excellent LG G4 camera
In car BT streaming is fully working, even all tags are coming through
Notification area is improved, notifications are no longer numbers only, you can now choose icons
The whole phone feels snappier, like developer logging is switched off
This is for sure a major step forward, creating an even better phone. Samsung, are you watching?

Would be great if they improved the EIS for videos and maybe added something like auto HDR+; essentially taking some cues from the Pixel. They need to use the gyroscope like Google does.
Would also like to see an sRGB display profile for accurate colors.
General tweaks to display latency and audio output especially the headphone jack (according to reviews) would also be nice.
Of course if they would release some kernel sources and device trees etc for developers that would be amazing too but that would probably be wishful thinking
But I am glad to see that they tweaked the camera. It definitely needed it. However they still have some work to do.

Not for me, I don't like the over-saturated screaming colors of HDR, only in particular shots. Afaic Huawei made time right choice leaving it optional!

True but it does seem to take some good shots though.
But they definitely need to take a look at the EIS. It's done quite poorly from what I can tell especially in video.

How's your SOT on the Moto G6 Plus?

I recently bought and returned(because of a small hardware defect) a Moto G6.
Now that I had time to think better about what phone I want, I'm thinking a Moto G6 Plus or Redmi Note 5 might be better for me.
Only thing I need to know to decide is how much battery life I can expect to get from the Moto G6 Plus.
So, how does it do? Can I expect to get 6 or 7 hours SOT while on 4g? Maybe 5?
Thanks!

I hope so because the mobile is encrypted and when you decrypt it, It is much more fluid, and at the moment there is no root or Kernel, much less rooms ...

It will come it's only been out couple weeks don't forget , but seeing as it's not available in us development might be some what slower as G6 is totally different hardware and 32bit only, we might even not get a G6+ forum maybe a bit of the green eyed monster

I get about 3,5 hrs SOT in the 90-20% charge range - mostly phone, text, whatsapp, telegram, skype & websurfing.
Gets me through the day, but I think having a powerbank available ain't the worst idea...
Using it since last friday evening with full NFC cloning from my S7, will check again after a fresh setup some time.
