http://m.huawei.com/enmobile/consumer/mobile-phones/detail/huawei-gr5-en.htm The model number of Honor 5x is KIW-Lxx and The GR5 shows KII-Lxx. Other then that I don't know what is different between this 2 phone. I would ask their customer support.
Asked support, waiting for answer.
Main question will GR5 receive support and updates from honor?
Maybe locals from honor can answer.

Honor 5x and gr5 isnthe exact same but honor 5x has one model with 3gb RAM and honor 5x has the marshmallow beta but not the gr5
I have a GR5
marshmallow is on the way but slowly as always from huawei, will be much the same crappy software anyway .
Not bad device hardware for $ but ruined by shoddy software much same as all on android OS .
When I look at email & message technical options, quality call block software like magicall & sound qaulity of my default audio player via headset on 7 year old WM6.5.5 I am appalled at this modern android platform & app junk .

Man I bought this phone solely for dat fingerprint sensor, no Udom room is going to support it so that's a bummer that I'll be stuck forever with stock
Too many issues in the custom rom for me plus don't think it supports GR5 KII models ...

give it some time, the developer is using this phone and I'm sure he wants the fingerprint to work also. It's just all the files are not here yet to enable it

What issues ? If you know of problems you should help the developer and submit logs so they can be addressed. It (CM13) works fine on all versions of the 5X.

known issues >
camera hangs and sucks batttery like crazy if you do 2 hdr photos. Don't use hdr.
dt2wake doesn't use the proximity sensor to filter bogus d2twake triggers and therefore can turn on too easily in your pocket.
fingerprint sensor
fm radio: works fine but attempting to record audio causes the it to hang, be impossible to stop and keep playing the radio.
other gestures (I don't even know what they are because I didn't run stock long enough to find out so if you want support tell me)
selinux is in permissive mode
switching data subscriptions between sims requires manually setting your preferred network to 2G before switching
smart view case support
single sim hardware: requires unplugging and replugging sim after every boot
Dev getting plenty of feedback ...
It not suitable for GR5 KII devices or at least not tested & no specific KII kernal ...

hey every one , i got my device two weeks ago , i bought it in egypt and sells as huawei GR5. no honor branding on box or the back of the device . i assumed at first that both devices are identical and the only difference is branding name .
but i noticed on multiple occasion that the device is strangely slow specially compared to youtube videos and benchmarks . and its number is kII-l21 not kw-l21 . also the cpu doesn't seem to be 616 .
so i was wondering if this device would receive marshmallow update ? can i use custom roms in the future that is devolped for US devices ?
Here in my country, we have two seperate phones, one going as honor 5x and other gr5, so they're both definitely different...
Also that antutu is less than typical 5x which gets around 38k

I live in Pakistan.... And i also was baffled by the choice between gr5 and 5x.... I made the choice based on the model number on the back of the box... I knew i should go for kiw L21....
Sent from my KIW-L21 using Tapatalk
I just looked at the GR5 in Huawei store in fortune town bangkok, it has the 616 chipset as confirmed by staff & on device spec details, looks pretty much same besides some radio frequency difference, solid device for 8,150Baht (lowest price I found) but 8,450 is more common pricing. Camera seemed ok from testing in shop, it had 5.1.1 android so had an update which may have some huawei software optimisation !
Fingerprint sensor is very good & also enables easy opening & closing of notifications when unlocked & control panel when on lock screen which useful idea, has double tap to wake too .
Bought gr5 (KII-L21) on 13 march ( just 5 days for now) by trusting gsmarena, now confused if this won't compatible with developments for 5X (KIW series)
Can anyone please confirm will it be compatible or not?
And
Where can I find the actual deferences between the two models?
I doubt kiw developments will be direct compatible, some tweaks may be but roms etc will need tweaking for kii. kiw certainly going be better unofficial supported device ...
Has anyone tried any VR headsets with our Honor 5X? I just bought the Topmaxions (white) headset from Amazon for $19.99. I have tried a few games and videos but almost everything has shaking which is very difficult to ignore.
Are the head tracking/movements controlled by the gyroscope on mobile? And is there problem with the gyroscope within Emui? I am using stock Emui 3.0 on Kiw-L24 (US model) B130 FW.
This thread mentions using 'xposed' as a possible fix. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mobile-vr/cardboard/fix-shaky-screen-vr-google-cardboard-t3144144 Any ideas Honor users?

The honor 5x doesnt have a gyroscope. if you rooted your device you can use the accelorometer as a gyroscope. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/tutorial-enable-gyroscope-honor-5x-t3322256)
Sorry to say it mate but i think you just wasted 20 dollars
I downloaded an app from Play store called Sensors Test. After looking at accelerometer and gyroscope you will notice that even if you have phone completely still its numbers fluctuate excessively.
There is definitely something wrong with sensor on this Honor 5x phone. I tried my older Samsung Galaxy S4 on the headset and the games work flawless with no shaking.
Is there anyone that has a headset that can try our 5x phone on a non-stock rom(cm12 cm13 etc)? I am curious if it's the Emui stock ROM that has the issues with gyroscope.

I'm on CM13 and tried using a cheap VR Headset like yours. I also am running that same Xposed module to see if it helped with stabilizing. Unfortunately, even with CM13 running that Xposed Module, the virtual gyroscope still shakes. Given that this phone doesn't have a gyroscope, The accelerometer is used as a 'virtual gyroscope'. Looking at sensors test or other apps that show hardware stats, the Accelerometer wont stay still for some reason even when it's just lying on the table which tells me that either the Accelerometer sucks, or we haven't figured out a way make the accelerometer slightly less sensitive.

Thanks for sharing your experience with 'Xposed' module. It's a shame the Virtual Gyroscope has not been calibrated better. Honor 5x is a budget phone and I feel it performs well enough in most other areas so I guess I'll have to use other phones with headset.

I believe you. I saw a thread way back where someone mentioned Honor 5x not having actual gyroscope and using accelerometer.
I just didn't know how much the headsets head tracking and movements would depend on the gyroscope. Hopefully someone adds better gyroscope someday but until then I'll have to use other phones with headset.
If anyone is interested the headset I bought is very good. Definitely worth $20. This is the headset https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01B...r+headset&dpPl=1&dpID=41TWbzg5XIL&ref=plSrch
This should hold me until PS4 VR Project Morpheus.

i would say... depends.
what do you value in the phone? what do you like or don't like?
i'm not a fan of curved edges, so, if it's between Honor9 and S7edge, my choice is obvious -- Honor9.
processor and storage wise, i believe honor9 is the better one too.

Hi
I mean no offense to any providers, but I seriously think that fancy phones are a waste of money.
Still, if you wanna go and get one, I would recommend the S7 as the robustness, look and feel and the service the phone is offered by the company.
If you want more features and power, Honor 9 is the way to go!

Chinese version
Hi,
I bought the honor 9 in a preorder sale.
But now I have some concerns regarding the version. it is a Chinese multi-language ROM, I use Hebrew and English fonts, should I encounters any problems? how does a Chinese version affect me?
Is there a way to change ROM?
Is it rooted?
Thanks in advanced.

Hey guys n00b question: what kind of roms are currently available for the honor 9, and how easy is to root/unlock bootloader? Following that question to potential Pokemon players, does root permissions block use of the game and android pay?
Thanks
Side note the Honor 9 has different models, China, Europe, US, India to ne a few. Now to get the full radio band for your network provider you need to check it support your network provider if your get the device from outside of you regional zone.
If the Honor 9 radio bands are set up like the Honor 8s well your going to have difficulty depending on network provider.
Best thing to do if buying from say China is to make sure you buy one that fully work back in your country..
What kind of storage does the honor 9 use? I can't find any information on it. Was hoping for UFS obviously but considering it isn't mentioned anywhere I presume it's emmc 5.1
Meizu M6 Note uses Snapdragon 625 and runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat, however, I don't know if Camera2 API is supported by this device. I would surely buy this thing if it can do HDR+ using modded Google Camera app! I still have the original MX 4-core and the MX5, and I really want to add this to my collection (good thing it has full manual control as well!)
do you have updates on this ? i would be interested to buy as well.

You got the device pretty early
The device launched two month ago in China so MEIZU hasn't even released this device firmware.
That means no TWRP recovery yet
MEIZU also going to launch this phone globally in a few months so the best thing for now is wait.
(They announced that they going to launch this phone soon in Greece)
I really believe this device would get a good community support as SD625+Sony IMX 362 makes a great combo.
The camera really destroys even the Mi6 sensor in some ocations and the phone only cost 140€ for the 16gb version.
Also don't forget the quite superior front facing camera .
I was going to get the mi a1 but when I saw this bad boy I knew this is the phone I'll get.

If I understand you're talking about the M6 Note community.
There no global release for the device yet .
Even MEIZU hasn't released the device ROM on their website so no bootloader unlock or custom recoveries yet.
MEIZU will launch the phone soon in EU so we'll have to wait for a global ROM , bootloader unlock tool and kernel sources

I have this phone now for a week with the latest Flyme update (6.1.4.3A). Phone has amazing battery life and realy good camera but.........it lacks B20 support. Even the site of Meizu says it's support B20 but it does not https://www.meizu.com/en/note6/spec/. I hope in future they can enable it by software but I'm afraid it's hardware related. I have modelnumber M721Q whisch should be Netcom Public version (whatever this means). https://reameizu.com/meizu-product/m721/

I bought it at Lightinthebox. I checked several sites for Band 20 and they confirmed it. Prior to this phone I had GalaxyS5 and LG G3 and both had 4G in my area. The Meizu did not receive 4G. After installing the app Network Signal Guru I discovered no band 20 was supported on my Meizu. I have KPN as proviceder and they use Band 20 for G4. In crowded areas like "Randstad" they also support B3 which the Meizu supports and confirm that 4G is working on B3 but not B20. The support desk of Lightinthebox will check this with Meizu.
Update: I found out you need model B721H Global version

Latest Google Camera app to test on the M6 Note
Google this:
Google Camera 5.1XX apk with Working HDR+ [Mod]
On the stupdroid website, under Download section there are 3 links.
Can someone please try the 3rd link and see if the Gcam work?
PS: I don't have the M6 Note yet and I don't know if the website, the links and the app is trustworthy. Otherwise I would have tested it myself and share the good news.
Not working at all. Sorry. App crashes.
Hi Everyone! Huawei P20 was just launched today, looking at the specs --- I can't see much difference besides the Camera, do you think its possible to port its camera and so called "Master AI"?
Thanks!
Why only the camera? It should be possible to port over all of the software.
I think that Huawei should really provide an upgrade to 8.1 and all of the new software functionality. Pretty horrible to release a flagship phone and 6 months later simply forget about it.
Update: The camera app seems to be already available in a leak, see

****few months .... ya but in a few months android 9 will be released and maybe we will get it in april 2019! I don't like Huawei updates nor sammy's ... i really hope nokia will release a proper flagship soon... android one is the way....
Mate 9 never got EMUI 5.1 / Android 7.1 that came out with P10 and P10 Pro
Relax, this is the first phone that gets android 8.1+ NNAPI integration and not just a simple 8.1 like nokia and essential did. Basically as the guy said above with the leaks, all of the new features of the P20 are coming to us and that takes some time to implement. Granted our brand new mate 10 pro aka huawei's flagship feels obsolate, outdated and lacking in hardware compared to the P20 series(speakers, wireless charge, bigger sensor, laser) but that will soon change in some part with android 8.1.. Hold your wallets and do patiense like we all do

Granted our brand new mate 10 pro aka huawei's flagship feels obsolate, outdated and lacking in hardware compared to the P20 series(speakers, wireless charge, bigger sensor, laser) but that will soon change in some part with android 8.1.. Hold your wallets and do patiense like we all do

How do you know all the new features of the P20 will come to the Mate 10?
@tboy2000: Huawei Mate 10 to get P20 AI features with Android 8.1
We have internal beta builds of 8.1 for the Mate 10 (non-Pro Chinese version) so they are being developed.
That being said, with the Mate 9 we also had internal builds of EMUI 5.1, but it was never released.
Most likely time to get the enhancements publicly is when Android P rolls out.

Thanks. So it's not 'all the new features' of the P20. It's just some extra AI scenes. He did not confirm face unlock, super slow motion, AIS, etc etc

Ofc its NOT ALL THE FEATURES of the P20, because some of them are hardware dependent, which Mate 10 Pro don`t have

I was just quoting Aethergr who said "all the features". I know some features are hardware dependant. Ok?

Why only the camera? It should be possible to port over all of the software.
I think that Huawei should really provide an upgrade to 8.1 and all of the new software functionality. Pretty horrible to release a flagship phone and 6 months later simply forget about it.
Update: The camera app seems to be already available in a leak, see

P10/P10Plus never got Android 7.1, I don't know what world you live in, but in our world neither P10 Pro nor ANY Huawei P/Mate with OEM Android 7.1 exists.

Actually NONE of the P20 AI features is hardware dependent compared to Mate 10/Pro, AIS is a software solution, it just needed to account for OIS which isn't hard. P20 Pro is a different story.

think again the option to record in 960 fps is hardware dependent along with a few other modes
Is it working on mate 10?
Camera was 'ported' (it works simply by replacing hwcamera2 in /product/app/) right after firmware was leaked.
Here's a Magisk module if anyone wants it: https://mega.nz/#!peB21LaS!BS_5OIn6_eG4U8PRZCEzd6wdZCftANdHiIyZbFTiE8k

I saw this thread today
The P20 Camera app looks nicer at least
Hello, I was interested flashing the port however I'm kinda stuck whether if I root my phone (includes unlocking bootloader) will I still be able to receive and flash updates thru the updates checker? Or every time update is installed, I'll have to reroot it again. Recently came from note 3, flashing and doing things in Huawei are kinda different. I bricked my Note 3 several times and used odin tons of times so makes me think twice before doing things bec not much of stock firmware is available for flashing
