The Huawei Ascend Mate will be coming with Huawei's own propriety quad core processor. Will that make porting Android 5.0 KLP in June any difficult? Generally speaking, are Huawei phones hack-friendly (e.g. unlocked bootloader, easily rooted....etc), or should I avoid them?
Currently, it's the only option for someone looking to replace his phone+tablet with an Android with reliable battery life (4050mAh battery, thank you very much) and space (microSD expansion).
Thank you.
I think it will be an expensive phone and it belong to Huawei, I dont like Huawei and I'm Samsung follower. So let see the antutu benchmark when it release to compare to Galaxy Note 2

Just found on Huawei's webpage:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...nfoId=3415&directoryId=5011&treeId=3290&tab=0
Unfortunately no details on the specs yet ...
Interesting. Maybe they lopped off a little bit to bring it down to a Nexus 7-ish price.
I emailed huawei about this version, asked about release date and specs, got this answer :
Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting Huawei device. Sorry about that mediapad lite has not released now. And maybe it will released in the future. But we also didn’t know the exact time when it will released. Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device now. Best Regards. Huawei Device Customer Care Team

If they remove the cellular capabilities and MicroSD card slot then there's no use for this device.
Here's hoping that isn't the case.
I hope huawei mediapad 7 lite gets official JB as the default, so this gives the advantage to mediapad current user
Specs are avaible now ... in fact, its a mediapad 7 lite ...
Ick, they nerfed the resolution down to 1024x600.

Lite indeed. Uses Cortex A8 instead of A9.
Only plus would be lighter, cheaper.
Seems also the specs of the MP 10 FHD is different to the information in the press before:
no microSD
1 GB RAM

I think our mediapad is still one of the best tablet out there.. It's much better than any of galaxy tab.. (except for 7.7) it's really pitty if huawei doesn't give update for JB...

Absolutely agree with you. Huawei doesn't know how to market the Mediapad effectively. I guess they are still more focused on selling carrier big-iron items.
i hope they wont cancel MediaPad "Full" support, and only sell and update the Lite...
is cpu cortex-a8?
i see some test, where snapdragon s3, our msm8260 beats cortex a8 cpu at most near 2.5 times by results
So much of a downgrade not even worth it.
how do you put this mediapad 7 lite to download mode?
as i came across many android devices within the range of 10,000 INR i found samsung s duos is leading seller,
but i suggested to buy Huawei Ascend P1
am attracted to it due to its display, and better hardware feature compared to samsung.
what will be your suggestion on this price range?

Hello everyone,
I've had my sgs3 over a year now and enjoyed every bit of it. now im looking for a replacement but on cheaper side. it doesn't need to be a flagship and I mostly look for gamin and multimedia capabilities with best camera for the price. so I came across Xiaomi Note Enhanced version for about 200$ and it seems just about perfect. mainly Meadiatek 1.7Ghzx8 CPU, Mali-450 GPU with 2gb ram it seems like a steal. but Im afraid of what Im losing and what Im gaining.I have no expierince with MIUI evr. so if you can share your thought, Its much appreciated.
1. would MIUI run every droid game and apps like regular Android? (I know about xposed not working. but im concerned about TB, Greenify, SuperSU, Root Explorer.
2. It says Mali-450 is 1.4x improvement over Mali-400. but our SGS3 runs mali400mp4 and clocked 533. so how would this par?
3. I dont care about screen mirroring DLNA and stuff. but for sound quality I crave. so anyone have expierience with xiaomi sound, input will be a great help.
4. for the last, I would like to know your opinion as I think of giving my s3 to my gf if I got satisfied with Redmi Note. but of course never leave the forum sake of im a xda user who wouldn't use a phone in regular manner is it worth to give away s3 over this redmi note?
Thank you.
I just got the Redmi Note, maybe this will help you a little?

Custom ROMs will be a problem since there aren't enough devs to port or build roms for that device.
And I've spoken to just 2 Xiaomi users and they don't like it at all. It's not just about the number of cores in the CPU or GPU. MTK is A-7 based and offers poor performance compared to A-9 or A-15 CPU.

Damn! such a bad news. My budget is $200 dollars and the lists of phones I have in mind are: Xiaomi Redmi Note,iOcean X7 Elite,THL T11 MTK6592 and Huawei Honor 3C Quad Core.. But like you see they all have MTK.... Sinse all have the same performance I was thinking to get one well known company better..
Go for redmi note. You, as a normal user, won't give rat's ass about a15, a9 etc. The a7 octa gives enough performance for everyday use. And miui is da bomb

I agree, good performance, and redmi note is a good phone

Hopefully you held off for the Note 2 it's @ 1.7GHz , not the 1.4 GHz the original note was at.
Development is centered at the MIUI site, go there for more info.
Over all the phone is fast, very fast, so fast you will only see the difference between the A9/17 or Snapdragon 800 8274AB 2.3GHz and the A7 by software measurements.
I'm deciding between the Note 2 and the THL 5000.
5½" and 3300mAh Vs 5" and 5000mAh
so at the end,
which smart phone did you buy ?
i already bought a Redmi Note
still enjoying it
Well... I have two units here just arrived...Almost everything work as it should, but I have problems making data connection working. Wi-fi works great, but data over mobile network doesn't want to work at all. I've checked out on both units using different SIM cards (from different providers). I have to mention that the SIM cards work using other phones. AND I have to say that didn't want to sign up yet for any of the xiaomi services (cloud and rest). It must be somewhere in MIUI a setting. MIUI is a customised version of Android.
For the price seems to be a good product.
Hi, There's a lot of ROMS

there are 3 version of redmi note2 (which you probably have). One of them is made for China 3g networks and other is WSCDMA.
When battery is removed you can read which version you have (maybe it's not usable on your networks).
Bought redmi note recently and I can say that it feels faster that Samsung Note 2 (I have both phones).
xiaomi phones are not replacement but best phones
...in terms of hardware specs and value for money, looks is something personal. Why branded phones are very expensive are because of their marketing cost and the cost attached to the brand value. Other than that xiaomi phones are very good.
My cousin bought the Xiaomi Mi3 and i bought a Redmi 1S for my fiance and both the phones are awesome and have very good camera and sound quality.
I have been using Galaxy S3 since 2012, and let me tell you I have been using MIUI Rom even before on my Sony Xperia X10, so as I got my S3 i rooted it and installed MIUI rom.
Yes, all your apps and games will run without any problem as it is Android, every manufacturer have their own version of Launcher and apps to differentiate their phones. What made me fall in love with MIUI were its native apps and features (like call recording which is available only when rooting, but in Xiaomi phones this is built in), and themes (you can change everything to your liking with one click- the dialer, messaging, statusbar, wallpaper, bopot animation, lockscreen, font, etc. or change each individually, and their themes are awesome).
I would suggest you to go for Xiaomi Mi3 if it suits your budget. But if you already have Samsung Galaxy S3 and if its performing good enough, then no point buying a phone with similar hardware. I am waiting for Mi4 to launch in India. Its a kickass phone (google it).
keep 'em both
Got both phones. Still love my SGS3 for the customizations.
More Redmi Note ROMs here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-26132-1-1.html
flashed mine with the ported Color OS. performed better than the original MIUI OS. you could also try the AOSP ROM faux 4.4.2 (actually its just 4.2.2) seem nice. i just dont like the developer switched the main storage for the external and so on..
huawei always provide with best specs but quality is doubt-able my father brought two mobile of huawei y511 and y6 2 mobiles are nice but human interferance is not so good they are providing other companies with better equipment then they are using for themself #kirin is a powerful processor used by huawei but there mobiles and designs are not much attractive my friend is using huawei 5x not happay from it but yeah he was happy for having a finger print security which was first used in samsung note 4 and 5 that are much expensive
You are talking about cheaper phones.

its not about points and i didnt seriously care about that the basic of the thread is i am user of huawei mobiles the question was about durability of huawei phones they have best specs available to the market the only reason not to vote for huawei mobile is about what you are thinking of getting and what you basically get yeah huawei is nice on specification board but when you get hands on to the cellphones you regret for paying so much for such a phone

Well this is not my opinion on the honor 8, it's a stunningly beautiful phone and the build quality is amazing in my opinion, it's light and feels great.
I have dropped the phone a few times thinking I would have broke the glass back but it has not, it's been fine so I would consider that a win for me.
Did the glass back scratched or not?!
Please delete thread. Nothing to do with section.
I think 2 or 3 years ago, HUAWEI's phone was not very good, but since 2014 and going forward, HUAWEI is getting better and better phones released.
EMUI indeed has so many flaws... reminds me of Samsung with the infamous TouchWiz...
I have the Mate 2, Nexus 6p and Honor 8. There is nothing wrong with the durability of Huawei phones.

how to thank you bro it will definitely do it i am new to this site
Huawei Mate 10 users, having never owned a Huawei, but for someone who is definitely interested in the brand and definitely likes what he sees with the Huawei P20 Series.
Why should I choose the forthcoming Huawei Mate 20 over other 2018 flagships eg Samsung Galaxy Note 9 ?
Thanks for your time in advance
Your best bet would be to read and watch reviews and decide for youself.

Absolutely, but has the Mate 10 been a positive experience that people would have no hesitation in owning another Mate Series smartphone. If you know what I mean ?
For sure. This is my 2nd Huawei phone, I had a P9 first then a lot Xiaomi phones in between. So far, I'm very happy with the Mate 10 pro.
