No issues with wifi so far.
The WiFi strenght is not as good as the Nexus 6P that I previously owned. In a remote part of my house I always had a wifi connection with my 6P. With my Honor 8 Pro I have no connection in the same place.

One question, (if you owned an honor 8 before)
Is the wifi range for the 8 pro better compared to honor 8?!

Given the fact that they do have different SoC, that's why I am wondering.
However, if they are the same then, no issues, as I'm satisfied with my honor 8 wifi range

sorry, i don't own honor8, so can't compare.
but i've owned a host of other phones and honor 8 Pro feels like the others -- as in, no complaints about the wifi range. in fact, it does feel like it could pick up signal better than some of my other phones.

Thank you for clarifying
Wifi strength is pretty much the same with other honor devices.
Idk y they are not improving wifi range. Honor 8=honor 8 pro wifi.
Maybe that's the best already.

Hello fellow honor fans!
First of all I just want to say that I love my new honor 7, i'm an old oneplus one user, i'm quite spoiled when it comes to performance.
Anyway i've been running a few benchmark tests reaching a score of 50k on antutu which is decent for a €300 phone. But to my suprise, while testing the device, i saw that the GPU in honor 7 PLK-L01 is a MALI-T624 not MALI-T628 as advertised.
This made me very sceptical because t624 is two times slower than t628. I even tested three different benchmarks and all of em shows the same poor MALI-T624.
So are my fears true? I'll attach some photos of the three benchmarks i ran.
Edit: weird i couldnt upload the pictures..
Kind regards,
Sebastian
I have t624 too

There is a difference between Mali-T628 MP4 and Mali-T628. The MP4 version has only 4 GPU Cores instead of 8, being an upgraded verison of the T624 in fact. That's the reason why some apps (like CPU-Z and Antutu) recognise it as Mali-T624.

It is a possibility that you're experiencing difficulty hearing on calls because of your cellular service. The best way to identify this is if you're experiencing these issues in certain locations. If that's the case then we advise that you contact your cellular provider for troubleshooting steps. If this is not the case, we advise that you contact our Honor Support Team at 1-844-524-6667 for further troubleshooting steps. (ED)

Yup. The receiving capacity is somewhat low to others. I hope it is done to lessen SAR value.
Currently 5X is one among the top 10 phones with Low SAR value and Honor 8 seems to have highest SAR value.

Its a knockoff so its probably poorly optimized so it will probably be very slow.
Arobase40 said:
Vernee like most Chinese smartphone manufacturers doesn't have any specific budget for paying international patents or specific design (including Xiaomi) so they can "share or borrow" their ressources one another including the mold... ^^
The SOC is based on Mediatek, so cheaper than Qualcomm and the phone is sold mainly on the Chinese domestic market with no international after sale services !
If you have any hardware problems, you'll have to send the device back to China, wait for some weeks and you'll most probably have to pay for shipping fees back and forth.
When you see the trouble to get official updates from Huawei, I don't think you can expect any regular updates from Vernee or any other Chinese manufacturers.

Agree, so I wont be getting it but it would be good to see some bench or speed tests from it. The lack of software updates probably kills this phone has you said.

Very impressed, better than all 2015 Galaxy phones but together
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
For some reason, my mate 9 sucks in WiFi. it did from 30Mbps to 65Mbps max.
Tested on Asus RT-88U and RT-68U router with a 1Gbps and a 300Mbps fibre broadband.
To be sure it wasn't my ISP/RSP causing the problem, speedtest on PC is at max speed of ~900Mbps/~475Mbps up/down.
and again, to be sure it wasn't the WiFi signal, my other phones, HTC 10 did ~400Mbps down, even the old HTC Butterfly/DNA did >65Mbps constantly, where as the mate 9 fluctuate from 30Mbps~65Mbps.
Something must be wrong in Huawei software to cause a device equip with 11ac to be slower than 4 years old phone with only 11n.
i'm totally impressed by mate 9 wifi, i have everywhere in my house good and fast wifi signal, even in the kitchen and basement.
with all my old phones (allview x2 xtreme, oneplus one, lumia 630, xperia z1) i have only 0/4 bars wifi in the kitchen and i can't even send text messages over wifi. with the mate 9 i have 2/4 bars and i can even watch youtube videos on the same place.
No issues here. Its very good.
Extremely good, both with WiFi and Bluetooth. Far better than my LG G4 and GF's Galaxy 7.
I have exactly the same problem as limcc.
Upload speed is ok but down load 30 Mbps max. My other phones download with over 100Mbps.
If someone has a solution I would be reall grateful.

Same problem with mine...I may be sending this phone back to Amazon. I've had a few slow downs also that I never have with my OnePlus 3T.
Edit...I did nothing to try and fix the wifi speed, and now it's working better. I may keep this phone after all. I'll give it a few days at least.
This test was done after several tests that reached only 30-35Mbps.
I locked the screen, put the phone down for a couple of minutes and ran the test again. I don't know what's going on with this device
I have a problem too!! No more of 30-60 megas, with another phones let 300......
Any ideas??
Asus's problem or Huawei's problem?

Have you all tried changing the WiFi channel? My Mate 9 was running fine on 5GHz 128 under B126 but struggled after upgrading to B136. I switched to channel 36 and it's all good now.

You change channels in your wifi router.
I've disabled 2.4GHz at home as it's badly congested, all my neighbors seem to be using it whereas no one seems to be using the 5.0GHz spectrum. Do note that if you keep both enabled your phone will tend to connect to 2.4 as it typically has a longer range than 5.0.
Keeping it WPA2 only (disable WEP and WPA), setting the encryption to AES only (disable TKIP), and n/ac only (disable g) will also increase throughtput.

I used it when on holiday with a lot of wifi-hotspots.
The WIFI is incredible. Where the iPhone 7 plus from my girlfriend couldn't even see the WIFI hotspots, i could see and connect just fine.
That's pretty impressive
My master bathroom is a pretty much wifi deadspot in my house for my V10.. it's REALLY tragic. I got the Mate 9 yesterday and it gets .11AC in the bathroom! I'm amazed at it's reception. Man, I made a good choice.
This issue is happening other Huawei phones, such as honor 8 or P9 which support 11ac.
I believe it's a bug.
This happens when you are using wifi with channnel Bandwidth of 80Mhz or 160Mhz.
So the only workaround at this time is to change the router setting to 20Mhz or 40Mhz.
hi have the mate 9 pro and wifi problems with the speed... hava a 250Mbps broadband and full signal standing near the modem and in phone wifi settings it says the connection speed is 433Mbps and bougt a cheaper lenovo p2 and it has the same 433Mbps connection. but the mate 9 stuggles with only 130Mbps and jumps up and down every time i do speed test.. same speed test on the lenovo p2 and i getting the full speed 250Mbps every metering without any struggels att all it goes to max speed in a second i every test.. really annoning bug in the huawei and still now release for the wifi? someone most have the solution. mate 9 can get full speed stable also its just something thats stops it from doing so, tried wiped cache and tried factoeyreset.. same shi*.. just because of this little bug im thinking of selling my mate 9 pro and stay with lenono p2 but love the mate in all other ways... and huawei doesnt seem to care and thats worries me the phone have been out for a time now and still no wifi update... mayby there is a workaround? im trying everingrhing likes changing channels on router and changed to static but same shi*... even tried another router.... but i got a feeling there is a way to fix this... wtf this not i cheap phone and still cheap phones outpreform the mate 9 in wifi speed thats not right! so please anyone come with an solution to the instable and slow wifi on mate 9. kind regard G ?

Average for low light. Nothing really great about it.
Can't say average, but yes can take a pic. Noise interference is too much.
I am seeing really good pictures in whatsapp group but tripod is necessary to get perfect nightshot.
