Hi All,
Could you help me to choose, which one to buy? Mate 2 or Mate 7.
Mate 2 in Belarus costs around 330$ (
I can buy Mate 7 2/16 for 480$.
Both are non-official and without official warranty.
I don't play so much games, in general office use, navigation and internet browsing.
The main problem for me is insane price for Mate 2
Is it worth to buy Mate 2 today?
Thanks.

The Mate 7 has better specs but it sounds like you don't need the extra power based on your usage. The Mate 2 should work very well for you. Can you get it somewhere that will allow you to return it within a short time frame if you don't like it?

Nope, I can't return if I don't like. I can return only if there is manufacture problem in phone and only after service center's diagnostic.
I need a phone for few years and I need to make sure that this is good investment, you know.
Maybe you can suggest another model with good battery and optimal performance(that can run games)? 5.5" or 6" and not expensive.
Thanks.

Do some research. The reason I bought the HAM2 is because it was the best priced, large screen I could find that could satisfy my needs. I do not game so I am not the best person to answer. The Mate 7 will game way better than the mate 2. The 7 will also be better in two years. The 2 will be outdated, spec wise. There are also a few new phones, including a rumored Nexus phone made by Huawei, that will be announced soon. You could wait for one of them. It seems that there are more and more larger screen phones being released.

Thank you so much.
Will try to find the Mate 2 in stores to touch him and compare with Mate 7.
If you have to have the latest & greatest, then the 7 would be a better option, but, if you "just use it", web browsing, text, email, phone
and don't care about which OS is on it, as long as the apps you use work, then the Mate2 is still one of the best "bang for the buck"
devices out there. I've had mine almost a year, still is a great device.
Here are some other big phones. I don't know how much they will cost though.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3
Huawei MediaPad X1

My wife has the Xperia Z Ultra C6833 (Amazon-US), and I almost opted for it as well. My main issue with it is that it's so thin, one of the thinnest phones out there (especially at 6.44" diagonal), it flexes easily, even in her case. She hand carries it or in her purse. I would carry it in my pocket. It would be bent easily.
So I opted for the Ascend Mate 2 with a very tough case (Amazon-US) and it's worked out very well.
You could take a look at the Zenfone 2....the 1.8 ghz, 2 gb ram version is $200.....that Asus is already beta testing 5.1.1

Hi all!
I'm an xperia x8 user with the basic (or some more) knowledge about Android. I really like MiUI, but my phone is weak to run a MiUI smoothly. Five or four weeks ago i saw Xiaomi M2' hw specs and price and found it awesome. My Q is: What do you think about this phone? Do you trust Xiaomi and shipping partners? (I wanna do)
Share your opinions please, I'll thank y'all.

hey guys, I use the Xiaomi M2 and it is a great phone. It does not have google play on it but its easy to add and does not require root. The screen is crazy good (especially comparing to my Huawei Honor) and it's just so quick. I'm not a huge fan of MIUI but some really love it.
Anyway, despite the fact that it is currently sold out in china and unavailable for sale anywhere else, I got my hands on a few of those. So if you're interested you can contact me. I'll sell at same price as the website mentionned in the thread but you will not have to wait until March or something to get it and I can use paypal so that you are protected against fraud. I'm also a former powerseller on ebay and am selling in on eBay too but at a higher price to cover eBay fees.
Selling it for 450 on ebay, can do for 400 here.
I hope you don't feel it's a spam, I know how hard it is to get a hand on this phone...almost as hard as the N4...
Which one would you guys choose? I don't care about camera as I have a pixel 2xl for that. How much better is the battery life on the Mate 10 pro vs o5t?

From what ive seen on reviews, the 5t's battery is as strong as the 5's and 3t( i owned it before mate pro). Their software is very very very clean and optimized. Best software ever used on a phone. On the 3t i was getting ~20 hours every day. I suggest you to go for the 5t ( since you got the 2xl for photos) and save the $300 difference between them.
Ps: if you order from OP site, use paypal, not your CC. Better safe than sorry.
Pps: not bashing on OP, just to be clear, i love what they've done so far with their phones, also really considering buying the 6/6t and sell my 10 pro if they drop the iphone design ( i know they are copying oppo, but lets be honest, it does looks like iphone 7 plus ).

Get the mate 10 standard! I can get like 11 hours + screen on time browsing, texting, snapchat, insta, music etc.
Only thing holding this phone back is the development community as not many have bought the device yet.. and it doesn't help that the US are scared of Huawei keeping them from getting into the US market...
You either share your data with Korea on Huawei or get hacked and lose credit card, personal info, data etc and everything with one plus Lol

I went mate 10 by way of honor view 10 and I like it better in almost every way. Especially the camera when it comes to focusing and sharpness

Yes, I was thinking exactly about it :good:
I know the Mate 20 pro re-appeared on Google’s Android Q Beta page, but I'm really not sure about what to do with the phone. It's great but the uncertainty is a bit worrying.
Is there anyone out there that has sold or is considering selling the mate20pro? If yes, which phones did you go for/are you considering?

Fair point, but it's just that if I think like that I'll have to stick to the mate20pro for another half year or so, most other "flagship" android phones have already been released for this year.. I reckon that the S10 or S10+ are the only ones that come close to the mate20pro in terms of camera versatility, battery, size, and I'd also get the headphone jack, which is nice.
Still not decided whether to sell it or not. I could sell it for max 400 EUR now...
In case I sell Mate then probably will chose between OP7 Pro and S10+. Each has pros and cons, but certainly I will miss Mate's camera. And charging speed (ok, OP is close here). And 3D face unlock..

So you'll stick to the mate20 pro for another 10 months or so? I'm not trying to be sarcastic or anything, we might be lucky and they figure it all out in the next couple of weeks/months but it could take much longer and then the re-sell value of the mate20pro will be very low (apart from the risk of not having an updated Android version).
I have the same problem. Only phone what can change is P30 Pro but good one model, without reed, orange color problem in camera.
S10 Plus is finr but still no even close to Mate 20 Pro.
Im still on my Mate 20 Pro and I cant change it, because P30 Pro is still expensive for me. But the price is falling day by day for my Mate 20 Pro.

For me it's related to the security updates, maybe we'll stop getting them within a couple of months, we just can't be sure at this point. If that should happen (hopefully it won't!) the phone wouldn't sell for anything really, so it's sort of sell while it's still sellable.

Yep, thinking exactly the same. Sadly for me there is no proper alternative right now.
OP7 camera is dissapointing (according to feedbacks on OP forums), it has ghost touch issues (probably SW related, so fixable)..
S10+ on the other hand has desperately slow charging, camera is good but still a no match for Mate's in poor light conditions
Well, probably will sell my Mate soon and anyway take one of the above devices. As you say, it may happen that in few months this phone won't be sellable

It's great if that works for you guys.
But it's a relatively new device, I'm not really ok with not getting security updates. There's a reason those are rolled out, and it's not just to protect users from shady download sites.

Be honest now, when have you ever checked security update schedules for any of your devices since mobile phones became common place? Before purchasing.

You are right, it's not the first thing I look at. The truth is that I started worrying more and more about security as I got older, probably because I have way more sensitive information now than I had in my teens (banking apps and stuff, emails, whatsapp which yes, I could all remove, but that defeats the purpose of a smartphone) - it's the principle that matters.
Also, another thing is that it could well be that in some months we all have to install Ark OS, which allegedly will work with android apps but that's not what I signed up for when I spent almost $1k on this phone.
It's like buying an electric car and after one year they tell you that it's a hybrid now.
Got an iPhone XS Max 256 GB and i love it ! I still have my mate 20 pro. Maybe I will sell it but I got used to iOS so quick and it is really good. I got a used one from swappa less than 800 and it works great. I’ve been an Android fan for some years now but I think I might like the iPhone better also I live in USA and iMessage is a must here. Don’t be afraid of using other OS. Camera is great as well. No night mode or ultra wide but the standard pictures IMO are more flattering and taking pictures it’s instant. I took a bunch of pictures and colored side by side and surprisingly I like the iPhones better. Just wanted to tell you my experience

All current devices will continue to receive security updates and access to google play, Future devices may not but as it appears Google and Huawei are working together. Of course everything published is negative is that not the way it always is? Doom and gloom first then reality. I just bought a P30 Pro on device upgrade yesterday for cheap 350 in canada and my mthly plan stayed pretty much the same as it ws prior, in fact I got more data , I am in Canada. I am not too concerned, in fact if I opt for the Mate 20 I can save another 100 but damn the 10x zoom is so appealing, yet to open box
I think this is not a really big issue, even if you can't get auto update on your Huawei.
Google can't stop you install the software
such a nice phone what a pity to throw away
I'll probably get Pixel 4 or Pixel 4XL somewhere in November - December. Don't want one more Chinese phone anymore.
I've been pretty happy with my Mate 10 but feel it's time for a change. Almost got the Mi 9T Pro but then specs for the Oneplus 7T emerged and that is now the favourite. Tried the Oneplus 7 Pro earlier but hated the curved screen. Mate 30 probably out due to the google apps nonsense.
Just wondered what fellow Mate 10 users have moved to and how it worked out. Or which device(s) you have your eye on?
Personally if it's confirmed that Mate 10 will be getting Android Q then it's a must keep for another year and maybe 1 more after that. Even without that It does all I need and more. Never been happier with a phone.
I'm a bit picky about the design of my phone, I hate curved screens, notch, teardrop, cut out designs. And Mate 10 doesn't fall into any of that. I don't like the current trends I just want compromise. But that's only personal preference.
Currently I'm holding off until the Mate 40 comes out next year, and when that time comes I'll start weighting things.
Good thing U have many brands to choose from but no need to rush unless u are having serious problems with your device, where I live the only choices are huawei and Samsung so I only upgrade when it's really crucial to do so, and that's not even close right now.
I hope this helped u. Peace.
My mate 10 pro will have an afterlife in the hands of my wife. :fingers-crossed:
But it won't be a Huawei anymore. Just because there is no development around these brand and that sucks.
For now I would prefer Oneplus devices. Also Xioami isn't too bad either.
Will see what the market has to offer next year.
I am fascinated by all the new devices that come out. But also I always come to the conclusion. that the Mate 10 (Pro) is still a very good smartphone that is very capable of keeping up with the new ones. Sure the wide angle and zoom lenses are great and also the SoC are better in Benchmarks, but at the end of the day my Mate 10 Pro can do all I need.
One reason why I decided to buy a flagship smartphone in 2017 was "I want a phone that can keep up for a while". I knew I didnt need the flagship SoC performance but I bought it so it would still be fast 2 years later. Now the time begins where I think I profit of paying extra in 2017. Thatswhy I'll keep it till it breaks, hopefully many years from now. I will soon order a new battery and replace it myself (while also changing my shattered back panel). Very happy with the device and Huaweis promise "wont slow down within at least 2 years" proved to be right.
I change device because i would reduce form factor, but with best camera

Personally, I love mine and I have no reason to upgrade. If I could pick any, I would still be pretty open minded as I don't do roms so bootloader locked isn't an issue for me. As long as it is pretty equal in features to price ratio and it has all the ones I need, gladly it can be my next.
It's amazing I've had my M10P for almost two years cos it's as new and fast as the day I bought it!
I gave my Mate9 to my wife then and she stopped using her Sammy for the M9. I wanted to get her a Y9prime but she wants the M10P so I guess it's the M30P for me.
I used to have LGs (G2, G3, V10 & G5) - the last two got affected by bootloop and being out of US, I wasn't entitled to a replacement. Those days, I flashed custom ROMs bi-weekly my favourite was Cloudy.
I didn't think I could survive with a locked bootloader but here I am 3 & 1/2 years after switching to Mate 9.
I will still stick to Mate series but I wish Huawei will create their own OS probably off Sailfish which means we can still install Google services.
If Huawei want to retain market share, they should unlock bootloader in devices as it'll not only keep us but also entice new users of their devices.
Talking about changing devices, I may go for the new P30 Pro.
But if I had to move away from Huawei all together, I'll consider the K20 Pro as an alternative - for me, it's better than OP7 Pro
Edit:
I think I may go for Asus ROG phone II or Xiaomi Black Shark 2 Pro
I'm going through the same dilemma. I usually change phones very fast. But its been 1.5 yrs with the Mate 10 Pro and there's nothing in the market that comes close to being a great replacement for this. My only problem now is that the updates haven't come in for 2 months now (US Version) and I don't think it'll get any more. I love the camera, speaker, bluetooth strength, Wifi speeds and just how smooth and fast it is even after 1.5 yrs.
But, if there has to be a replacement, then I might go for the Pixel 4 or jump over to the iPhone 11. Waiting for their announcements to see how good they are.

Still waiting to see what the Pixel brings to the table.
The iPhone 11 Pro has a wide angle camera which is the only thing missing in the Mate 10 Pro. Pics will be good for a flagship, and videos are the best as usual. iOS is not to my taste and the max I've held an iPhone is for 4-5 months (8 plus). Since nothing major has changed in iOS 13, I'm in a dilemma.
No more Huawei's for me, because just like any other manufacturer, updates stop coming after a point or are really slow. My Mate10 Pro hasn't received an update for 2 months now. Yeah, they've been much better than Samsung or LG, but that's nothing to boast about.

I haven't been getting updates but I have 2 possible reasons,

Same for me I love the M10P but as my contract is renewing next month I thought about buying the M30P and just install the g services myself but I am not so sure about it. What would you all do buy the M30P or something else?

I'd buy the M30P. If you were happy with Huawei than it's the best choice imo. I'd just wait for some real reviews to see if you really can get all Google services to work properly.
I won't buy mate 30 PRO, reason - notch. My next phone will have about 7 inches screen. I'm waiting for HONOR NOTE 20 but nobody can say something about release date. I wanted to buy HONOR NOTE 10, but there's a problem with B20 range and Jack 3,5mm.

Why do U need a 7 inch screen?
If I was upgrading and sticking to huawei I'd rather get the Mate 30 (non pro). The only things I don't like are that it doesn't have QHD display and no support for standard SD card. And also I think it doesn't have dual speakers but I'm not sure. I'm holding off until the Mate 40 unless my Mate 10 become unusable.
The lack of Google apps doesn't bother me at all but for the average consumer it could be an issue.
I like to watch a films at my car during my journeys Larger screens are better for this.
I'm leaning towards the Oneplus 7T. It looks like the uk will only get 128gb but Wonda Mobile think they might have the 256gb version in November.
my plan is almost over And have the choice of renewing my plan....
what phone choice are you leaning to?
love the phone but hate the boatloader lock and the option to get vanilla android.....i think I'm going for a Xperia phone again...

I've still several months to go on my plan but I'm looking/considering Xperia X1 ii.
Not a Huawei. because I need Google Apps. Right now my Mate 20 Pro is still the "perfect" phone.
I don't have a huge list of "wants" for my next phone...
1. Decent camera.
2. Reasonably fast software updates (so probably not Sony)
3. Unbloated (so not Samsung or Oppo or Xiaomi)
4. Waterproof
5. 5G would be nice
6. Biggish battery with fast charging.
7. 90 or 120Hz display.
So it's looking like it's either a OnePlus something or the Pixel 5 at the moment. Or I might just go SIM-only on my phone contract and wait until 2021.

Pixel 5 for me when it comes out.
Mate 20 pro
I am very happy with the phone. If I need to replace, I will buy huawei mate series again.:good:
Mine is also up for renewal next month
Waiting for mate 40 Pro
If that is beyond the budget then P40 pro plus or Mi 10 Ultra
Depends if you need GAPPS.
The later Huawei phones are all useless if you do.
Such a shame. Awesome devices crippled by lack of services.

Be careful with that Mi 10 Ultra, I recently have been looking into it, I thought I might try it out, the specs are great but for that price it's lacking some things that it shouldn't be. Ex: it has no waterproofing. Although it may not be necessary to some people, I was caught in rain with my Mate 20 Pro and of course it was okay but I'd be too afraid with that one, especially for that kind of money. And no QHD screen resolution. The battery also seems to get really hot while charging to the point you can't even hold the phone, from what I've seen in some tests and in this article. That's a bit concerning. I mean that extremely fast charger seems great to have but I don't know about the overheating. Just wish they actually perfected it fully not just half way.
