Hello everyone I would like to ask if the M3 is worth buying anymore? I had the M3 in the past but it broke, so the store i bought it from gave me the money back. I loved this device and could not find any device currently available that fits my usage of a tablet more than the M3. But sadly, it was released one year ago and I dont know how long Huawei supports the device. Is there any Information of an upcoming release of the M4? Since its already is a year old, does Huawei will release the M4 soon?
Thank you!
It's worth it. You want a solid tablet the m3 is. I have the 64gb wifi model. It's pretty much the best android tablet right now. Or wait...

I know that it is really good, as I said I already had one in the past and it was a great tablet, but i am not sure if I should buy it or wait for the M4.
Is there any information about the M4 out yet?
Honestly haven't heard a thing...
No news yet of an M4. Tablets are not that popular anymore and they are not being updated as often as it was a few years ago. A 64gb tablet with 4gb or ram is not going to be obsolete anytime soon.
How is the gaming performance? I had a honor 8 and it wasnt that great, I had to used the lower resolution in order to achieve playable framerates on some games, does the M3 has the same thing?
Gaming performance is very good. I almost ran out of space installing the games I bought in time. M3 got some discounts in time making it even more appealing.
Amazon just lowered the Price of the LTE Version to 270 Euros, maybe there will be a new one soon?

The question is: is a regular sale or a sign that a new model is on the way? Maybe they present it when they release the Mate 10 on the 16th October?
I got the old M2, basically the M3 is the same thing but with less bezels.
I've been thinking of buying the M3 as well but i haven't since the specs (cpu/graphics) just isn't that great.
It wasn't even great at release or in comparison to anything more "high end" released in 2016 and 2017.
So buying that tablet in the end of 2017....? I rather just wait for the updated M4 if that will ever come.
It's a pity though, Huawei is the only one releasing tablets thats good for media and that has a ~8" screen @ 16:10 which makes the tablet much more "pocketable" then others. Something that's quite a huge deal if you carry it around a lot since it basically mean that you won't have to use an extra bag but rather can just have the entire tablet in a pocket (try that with a tablet that has a 4:3 aspect ratio.....).
My almost three year old Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is showing signs of coming to the end of its live. I am looking for a new tablet, preferably with a widescreen ratio and stereo sound in landscape mode, so it's an entirely relevant thread to ask. Would you buy the Huawei Mediapad M3 again in 2017, or would you wait for something else?

My understanding is that the the CPU cores used in the Kirin 950 SoC of the M3 could easily trade blows with Snapdragon 820, which was the top Android smartphone CPU of 2016. The GPU side of M3 was significantly less capable, which is fine by me (I barely play games, and none on a tablet).

Yeah, the CPU is comparable to the SD820 however the GPU is not and that's sort of 50/50 for when using higher resolution screens.
One also has to note that the M3 was released in october 2016 so if there's a M4 it may be announced very soon.

I have the same hesitation because I need a tablet nowadays and at the same time, I don't want to invest in something almost obsolete. I took a final decision of waiting because Huawei is most likely busy with their Mate 10 so I HOPE they will announce it after the Mate 10 dust passes over

Keep in mind that the tablet market is so weak that a lot of manufacturers stopped announcing a new model every 12 months. The distance between the M2 (may 2015) and M3 (May 2016) announcements was something like one and a half years. I'll personally wait for the M4 because I just ordered parts to repair my Tab S.

It's sad to know that tablet market is not good as it was before. I'm still waiting desperately for the M4 and what annoys me is that I don't have an approximate date for its release because if it's too long to wait for it, I'll buy the M3 even though I'm not quite satisfied by some things in it + it has been there for a while (1+ year).
Does anyone have a guess or a clue about its announcement date? I'm guessing Dec 2017
mr too haven't heard a thing...
I'm having the same doubt as well.
I'd mostly use it for gaming.
I've read contrasting feedback regarding gaming performance on M3 (with Marshmallow).
However, I wasn't able to find info on how the tablet performs after the Nougat update.
Any idea? Thanks!
Hello everyone! Will mediapad M3 be update to Oreo 8.0? Is there any news about it?
Thank you!
I am Sorry. I found proper topic for this question.
I would say the tablet in terms of performance and hardware is great, especially the screen and speakers are far above average, and I also love the form factor and the 16:10 screen. On the other hand EMUI is probably the worst customization of Android on the market by far (I'm talking worse than touchwiz here, far worse) and it seems that we're done getting updates too, stuck on may security patch too. Honestly if I were to choose a tablet today I would spend a bit more and get a windows 10 tablet.

What do you think, will samsung limit Nougat on the S2 to the newer Snapdragon version of the tablet?
I dont think Samsung is going to have Nougat for S2. That will be in the Tab S3.
Yes, it's been reported that the T810 is testing and will be released soon.

The rumours about Nougat is getting louder:
https://www.sammobile.com/2016/12/19/galaxy-tab-s2-running-nougat-surfaces-on-gfxbench/
My galaxy tab s2 wifi only (t710) is still in 5.0.2 on sammobile but thanks to flashing, I was able to get MM. Now I am worried that my tab s2 will not get a proper nougat update because the update rolls out only to LTE versions.
According to this source (https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-begins-rollout-of-android-7-0-nougat) the "Galaxy Tab S2 (LTE unlock)" will be included in the Android 7.0 update rollout for Samsung devices this year. Seems legit, considering it's from Samsung themselves
I think the S2 will get Nougat. It's just a case of when and how good it will be?
However, I also think that will be it. Absolutely no chance at all of getting Android 8.
Given my experience with Samsung tablets, I'm not even clear T813 will see an update to 7.x.
That would be 2 in a row for me (poorly supported Samsung tablets), and probably my last purchase from them.

Guys Tab S2 9.7 is getting Nougat soon!
According to many sources, Samsung has already made Nougat & is testing it now (nougat benchmarks seen on GFXBench).

The problem is, who else is making good spec Android tablets with Amoled screens? From my point of view, MM is running well and has been for the last 6 months. A Nougat upgrade would be nice, (especially for the multi window mode,) but I wouldn't loose any sleep if it wasn't updated. They do need to release a recent security update though.
As my experience with the One Plus 3 has been so good, I'd like to see them shake Samsung up by entering the tablet market. I know it wont happen but I can dream. :angel:

So it begs the question, what specs and how much would you be prepared to pay?
For me, take a OP3, put it in the tab S2 body and I'd happily pay £400 (~$450) all day long. Of course, it would have to be running OOS.

Actually it's the second. Galaxy S3 LTE went from 4.0 to 4.4. And if it wanna get even more picky the Xiaomi Mi3 went from 4.3 to 6.0, along with the nexus 7 2013. Which would make it the fourth.
Plus the k1 is younger than the og shield

I'd certainly buy Nvidia again, they offer great driver support and the absolute best software update support, they have outclassed Google as they seem to be constantly trying to become Apple, forcing support limits on OEMs similar to what happened to the Z3 Nougat update
Yes but the k1 is technically the same tablet with no stylus and no included charger. Chances are when the k1 gets 7 so will the og pyro tablets well at least the replacement tablets will

It seems that Nvidia is not going to make tablets anymore, probably because they are producing the Nintendo Switch Hardware (which has capabilities similar to a gaming tablet). Not sure where I read this anyway.

It seems like they are taking a year off to work on the Switch (and they probably signed something that says they won't compete). The hardware inside the current Shield Tablet is so powerful it doesn't need a refresh anyway.

Guys what do you think of the leak specs and price ! To make sure currently it's out of stock on oppomart website.
I am sure this gonna be highlighted among Flagships cause of Its specifications. But look vice, Not that great improvement !
Let's see for official release somewhere in May last or June starting.
Update: Now some official Statement that the next OnePlus device will be named 5 and it will be released in summer(official leaks).
Well, OPPOmart, they got 50% chance wrong so who knows.
And someone else mentioned 1+5 will still use 5.5' 1080P, with a much better looking than the one on OPPOmart.
The battery of my 6P is dying, and it's so hard for me to decide eIther keeping waiting for 5 or getting 3T right now.

Just wait for a month. 5 will be better than 3T.
Probably won't be out until July. Samsung is getting most of 835 right now.
Worst case would be till October, not sure if I could wait for that long lol.

Maybe the price for the 3T goes down, after the official oneplus 5 announcement
I'll go to China during summer, they have one more color option of 3T, and I like that one a lot.
Also the price is little bit cheaper (around 10%).
And when 5 will probably sell out in seconds lol. Had never been the lucky guy.

Either May and June, or June and July. I still haven't flashed a single rom besides open beta on my 3T. I'm sure it'll still feel quite new to me once I start slowly trying out other roms before the 5 is released. Taking my sweet time because it's all worthy development. I might skip it, though. Only because the 3T is such a good phone. It's too soon to upgrade for me.
I'm still watching, though...
I like what OnePlus is doing. Hopefully, they keep up the good work.
Do you guys think the dimensions will be the same?
With a better screen to body ratio whis phone would be awesome and I would buy it.

No words on this ! But i think OnePlus will definitely change their look, and feel cause OnePlus is known for it ?
Just like an insightful poster said earlier, dont get your hopes too high on this ETA. OnePlus aint exactly a product launching guru and those new Qualcomm chipsets will be a bit hard to come by in the earlier months. One shouldnt reasonably expect the new phone to be easily available before the very last weeks of summer.
If i were in a hurry, i'd go for the 3T without any delay. Its not like its getting old any time soon. I would just wait a good offer.
In order to improve over the 3t, what I'm thinking OnePlus has to do are the following:
_ not follow samsung with that bezeless objective: optimization is fine (like Lg did with g6). I know that S8 is the state of art design, I tried it some days ago, but also the risk of glass breaks rises with it
_ camera: the 5 needs a concrete improvement both in sensors (1.7-1.8 like s8) and software. If they put 2 back cameras like g6, hope to have a good use of the second and not the usual B&W
_ battery: hope to have a 4000, the 3t has great autonomy, hope they will improve it
_ display fhd is ok for me, smartphones don't need qhd (i know what I'm writing, I had note 4 since February)
_ hw for me is OK, s835+6gb ddr4+128gb rom (maybe 256?) is beast hw
_ front facing speakers: utopy
_ Ip68 is a plus, I don't really care
Well that's all.
Ah, I'm waiting the year where smartphone will all have sapphire screen: ok gorilla glass, but scratches or micro ones, they always appears.

IP67 would be perfect! Just to don't worry about rain or dropping the phone in water.
The Honor 8 has been out for about 10 months now and can now be purchased for $299 from the Honor website. So let's see how this phone holds up and if it's still worth the money.
Updates
The Honor 8 was early to the Nougat scene and has been updated regularly. The stock firmware is currently on Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.0. This has the Honor 8 easily keeping up with its competitors when it comes to updates.
Development
There are several regularly updated ROMs for the Honor 8 that will bring you up to Android 7.1.2. This phone can be rooted with SuperSU while running nougat, and the bootloader can be unlocked easily. So as far as development goes, the community has not let us down.
Specs
Seeing as how the Honor 8 is now a $300 phone, the specs hold up just fine and sometimes easily surpass other phones in this price range. The 4GB of RAM is what most flagship phones are launching with today. The 1080p screen is still plenty usable with no complaints from me. The camera has aged well, still being a lot of fun to use with all of the camera modes on this device. The Hisilicon Kirin 950 processor keeps this phone running plenty fast.
Durability
Who else cracked the back of their phone? Other than that, it's still in once piece. Parts are easy to find on ebay and they're very cheap. This is something that I usually look at when buying a new phone.
Accessories
There were never really a great selection of cases to choose from for the Honor 8. Seems there's still a very slim selection or low quality cases for this device.
Overall this phone holds up nicely. I'd say if it were $400 it would be too expensive. $299 seems like a really fair price for this phone to be going at right now. You can usually find it even lower than that on some other websites.
Just give us EMUI 5 KERNEL source code and we'll be happy customers
I'm afraid you'll find many that would argue that development has NOT been great with this device. Still a great phone though...
How much did Honor pay you for this post?
Look at all the threads saying "Huge battery drain after upgrading to EMUI 5." And you'll know where Huawei screw up.
@morpheus302 +1
everyone complain about bad battery life after upgrading to A7. Update policy I call it joke, there are a lot of users who still doesn't still received update to A7.

At the risk of piling on to an innocent person, I too thought the OP looked like a press release from Huawei. Interestingly enough, I made a similar post about how the Honor 8 needs a better reputation just a few hours earlier in this same forum. So maybe I'm getting what I asked for? :victory:
Imho the Honor 8 is not a bad phone hardware wise, It's just seems like they spend more on PR than actual development and updates. His statement about updates is laughable at best.

See the link correctly https://theleaker.com/android-o-8-0-update-smartphones-list You will find out in comments that they have only included the devices which will get the update for sure, I also don't think that Honor 8 will get the update. But don;t know maybe they will seed an update.

That's someone's opinion but I doubt it's Huawei's official opinion. I'll wait till they announce their intentions.
That will blow if the honor 8 doesn't get Android O. I got another one on sale and have high hopes for this device
Okay, I broke the back glass. Paid $40 to get it repaired.
About the software updates, the US version is doing poorly. Security patches are not delivered monthly. We stayed at a very early patch for a very long time. About the O update, this device should get it. They should at least provide two major Android updates. One was Nougat and the next has to be O.

Only this community of phone nerds cares about monthly security patches. There isn't a company outside of Google that can realistically maintain that level of software support for their entire device portfolio. 2 major OS updates is the most we should realistically expect from Honor or any company. Anything else on top of that is just icing on the cake.
My girlfriend's Huwei P8 receives security patches every two months at least, one just received some days ago with July security patches. So i don't understand why we are not getting them...however, i agree with PuffDaddy_d. I would prefer to have Android O instead monthly security updates

I'm pretty sure you know it haven't it. Don't have to be ironic, just understand what i mean to say. Having Nougat doean't mean delay in security patch updatea, but if you're ok with this, perfect. However i told i don't care about them too much.
does anybody regret getting the honor 8? i'm debating between it and the pixel (for 2x the price).

OP5 is currently the sweet spot.
Looks like developer support for this phone is officially dead, I don't even see a safe method to root EMUI 8.0, ROM development is also dead because the company gave out new phones to the developer to start development on View 10 and newer phone.
Well, tit for tat, Nokia x6 and other new phones will take down Honor subbrand in a giffy and guys this is the reason why you should not trust Honor and Xiaomi.
I recommend not buying even the new Honor 10 from this companu because in a month or two they will release a new phone and will stop or delay even bug fixes for older phone, just see that H8Pro was released in Aug 2017 and till now we have H9, H9 lite, view 10 and Honor 10. No way we are getting Android 9 or any bug fixes soon......
Sad to say but I agree. I've never stuck around with the stock ROM on a phone as long as I've stuck with EMUI. It's not because I love EMUI of course. There is just not even a single custom ROM that works fully. I feel like I should've gone with the OnePlus 5 instead at the time I bought this. Probably never buying Honor again, even if it offers better hardware I'd rather pick a phone which has better developer support.

Yea, If I had any idea that this would happen, I would've bought OP5T instead. Dude, that company knows how to cater the customers, my friend who bought OP1 is still getting freebies like Star Wars : Last Jedi tickets and Avengers Infinity wars ticket.
Well, I am getting a new phone for someone and right now OP6 and Honor 10 (not launched in India) falls in that price range, but this time I am going with OP6.
