I compared these 2 phones in full sun and the Mate 9 is much better. Huawei affirms that the Mate 10 has 730 nits of maximum brightness What is there to do to activate those 730 nits?
Huawei lies?
Yes, the Mate 9's brightness is quite a bit higher than the Mate 10.
Mate 10 only hits it's max brightness outside in the sun. You cannot toggle it to the maximum, sadly. I think it tops out at around 430 nits otherwise. They should patch that out. It honestly makes the screen look duller than the Mate 9.
The brightness and the adaptive brightness bug are my only to complaints so far. They need to fix both. I understand they probably implemented them to help battery life but that should be my choice, not theirs.

And the 730 nits where are they?
I do not see them even in the sun ...
Caring for a 4000 Mah battery is an idiocy on the part of Huawei ...

Ya, true with the comparison of Mate 9 & 10 side by side, we can tell the maximum brightness at peak. Mate 9 with 626 nits and Mate 10 730 nits isn't quite true. The Mate 9 produce a brighter and vibrant screen than Mate 10. Hope Huawei can come out new patches OTA to solve this problem.

That's not going to happen, I've never seen that with an update. Mate 10 is like that and that's how it will stay. Huawei has cheated us like Chinese ... Last year he did with memories, this year with the screen brightness
I noticed the same thing with my Mate 9 to the Mate 10 pro.

As Honor 9 has launched also it confuses me a lot about display size whether to choose Honor 8pro or Honor 9 . Am using a 5.5 inch display fone now...
Just need some good opinions whether I have to go with 5.7 inch Honor 8pro or Smaller 5.2 inch Honor 9 . Will I feel unsatisfied with smaller 5.2 inch Honor 9 ? Rest of the specs am ok with it.
I used to browser net and watch YouTube videos mainly. Please help
I dont think you will be unsatisfied. Am using Huawei P9 and anything look sharper on this screen (compared to OP3) since with full HD but only 5,15" screen, the pixel is more dense, thus looks sharper.

replied to you over at the Honor8Pro page.
the size difference is very obvious on both phones (also, the weight is quite different). so, it does boil down to personal preference. personally, i'd rather have big but heavier phone. like you, i'm into videos and browsing. on top of that, i also do a bit of gaming.
but can't go wrong either way. just whether u wanna enjoy what you are doing on the smaller screen or a bigger one.

yes, it is typical but as a daily user I am saying that as big the screen you will get more joy,the pixel density is very high in honor 8 pro compared to honor9 , good viewing for videos+1 to honor 8 Pro
also the honor 9 is jaw drop gorgeous with a glass finish, if once it falls on ground accidentally glass body R.I.P :crying:
The Honor 8pro with metal body seems very good if it falls from some height it resist :good: .+1 to honor 8 Pro.
The battery back up is so good in honor 8Pro. +1 to honor 8 Pro.
Same processors. same speed.
so lastly, if i am you ,i will definitely go for honor 8 pro, choose wisely if like honor 9 more than honor 8 Pro go for it

I've been testing my phone on AnTuTu Benchmark v.7.0.6 and I've noticed a shocking resoult. The fastest phone was (not Samsung) but
1. Honor V10
2. Huawei Mate 10 Pro
4. Huawei Mate 10.
16. Huawei Mate 9
24. Honor 8 Pro
26. Honor 9
30. Huawei P10
36. Huawei P10 Plus
39. Huawei P9
40. Honor 8
Could You direct me please and tell which one of them has the best performance to price ratio and which one of them makes good pics/videos (specially [email protected])?
Which one should I buy?
Either honor v10 or mate 10 pro with 4000mah battery, I am using US mate 10 pro, battery lasts a solid 2 days with moderate usage. Also takes beautiful pictures, if you are only interested in pictures then nothing beats Google pixel phones.
Youtube tests are bull****...trust me..i bough mate 10 pro and it sucks when it comes to games i just send device to waranty to see whats happening...the problem is that after some minutes of playing device gets warm and starts to downgrade the speed of processor ...so why having a proc that is clocked at 2.3ghz while it cant hold that frequency for more that 5 or 10 minutes then it drops to 1.6ghz...i would not advice u to go for a huawei device if ur looking for a proper android gaming device go for one plus 5 or galaxy S devices.hope it clears ur mind and dont fall for those fake YT reviews becouse every device can deliever good results at fresh start. OU YEA when it comes to pictures mate 10 pro is a solid performer maybe not the best but definetly top 5 atm.Pictures are bit darker then the rest but has very good details and video recording is somewhere in the middle when u compare to competition.
I partially agree with the previous comment.
The gaming performance is poor after 5-10 minutes although my mate 10 pro does not even get hot. Video recording is also not a strong feature. It only records with low quality. Samsung videos look much more detailed. I don't understand why though. It ships with 128gb of storage why is it just recording with 25mbit/s compared to the 50mbit/s Samsung.
All in all the biggest selling point of the mate 10 pro is the battery. I ditched my s8+ for it... I can't use all the features if my battery died in the afternoon
please dont missinform people. all phones throttle. including your "proper gaming devices"
for example https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/81stn4/samsung_galaxy_s8_throttling/
I guess that throttling issues are more related to Mali GPUs. The snapdragons and, mainly, the almighty Nvidia GPUs (Nvidia Shield, for example) have less throttling issues I think. According to GSM Arena's Mate 10 Pro Review it does throttle significantly. Kirin and Samsung own CPU are top notchs, on pair with Snapdragons (as benchmarks shows), but the GPUs aren't.
Although I guess that we can play satisfactory with the Mate 10 Pro, can't we?
Sorry about the lot of "guesses" but my Mate 10 Pro doesn't arrived yet, so I can't claim anything at this moment. And of course, I apologise for my English. Not my first language.
Enviado de meu Moto G usando Tapatalk
well its thermal protection so some kind of throttling is normal. personaly iv had no problem with asphalt xtreme after 30 mins. cpu was probably scaling down, but had no clear frame drops. we only have exynos samsungs here and i can say its not better one bit from mate gaming wise. cant say bout snapdragon. i apologise for harsh tone beore, but just wanted to point out that what ever phone you buy you will find therads about lag, stutter, degradation in performance over time etc. about heat, there isnt mutch of it. about 50c after some time gaming. in the end listen to yourself on purchase. photos are nice, video records in 1080p 60hz. i agree bitrate is low but hey. and last, battery is ****ing insane.
WOW, that were the most informing couple of replys I've ever seen od XDA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH XDA Friends.
You've have helped me a lot with my decision making!
Keep up the great work!
me and a friend are set to go out at the end of this week to buy a new smartphone. I'm upgrading from a mid range clunker and his selling his Iphones and going Droid. I need the community help to decide which of these 2 we should go for. or at least I should go for since he is set on the 9+ more. there is no direct comparison between these 2 online so I'm still undecided.
here is my line of thought.
galaxy S9+ pros
1- awesome screen.
2- great audio and 3.5 jack.
3- beautiful phone eye catcher.
4- expandable storage ( not very important for me).
5- great low light Camera.
6- faster processing power ( exynos version the one I'm getting)
7- wireless charging.
8- status symbol, everyone knows galaxy when they see it, like iphones.
9- crisp mic quality.
10- great GPS.
galaxy S9+ cons
1- mediocre battery life.
2- costy more expensive than mate 10 pro.
3- slow charging compared to mate 10 pro.
4- battery might not retain it's capacity over time even though samsung caims so.
Mate 10 Pro, pros.
1-fast charging 1:30min to charge fully
2- costs 250$ less than galaxy s9+
3- great battery life.
4- comes with screen protector and case.
5- great GPS module.
Mate 10 pro cons
1- looks like any other phone
2- no status symbol, whats this phone: mate 10 pro, wut ?, it's huwaei, ah chinese phone u mean? :cyclops:
3- inferior screen.
4- horrible resale value.
what do you guys think? coming from asus zenfone max I greatly value battery life but this time I really want to buy the best and cry only once. processing power isn't really an issue for me since I don't game much. but since I'm a photographer who post on instagram frequently I value good camera.
any thoughts are appreciated.
I've had both. I had the Mate 10 standard first and did love it but couldn't deal with the adaptive brightness bug that randomly dimmed the screen despite auto brightness being turned off. I sold it at a rather large loss, a little over $200.
So far I'm really liking the S9+. The screen does look more saturated and colorful than the Mate 10 but the Mate 10 seemed sharper. I much prefer LCD over AMOLED, mostly do to the latter's issues with burn in and screen degradation. Mate 10 also seemed a little quicker.
My Mate 10 also had to have the International rom flashed as it never made it to the states, so there was little issues with that. The S9+ works better on US networks.
Battery life is better on the Mate 10 but the S9+ isn't a slouch, either. The camera is excellent on both but I don't use them enough to go into a detailed comparison.
Just for background information, these are the phones I had in the past 6 months: Mate 9 Pro, Pixel 2 XL, U11+, P20 Pro and S9+.
Taking this in mind, I can say that S9+ is the most balanced of them all, and overall the best device.
I can't say directly about Mate 10 Pro because I never had one, but I guess is pretty much the same as my Mate 9 Pro/P20 Pro I had, so I'm basing my comments on these experiences.
The cons you wrote about the S9+ are half truth:
* Battery is not mediocre as long as you know how to properly configure your device. I'm not getting less than 5-6 hours SOT over a day and a half; is true that Mate 10 Pro will have a better battery life, but from my experience, I never had more than 1 hour SOT difference between the S9+ and the Huawei ones.
* Is true that Mate 10 charges faster, but is a matter of 10-15 minutes difference at most. My S9+ charges fully in around 1:40.
* I would add as a con that S9+ has lower coverage and maybe this could turn into a problem if you live in a zone where there are not many antennas, thus it can impact battery life.
If you care about the camera, then go with the S9+, because Huawei phones have horrible video even when photo is pretty decent.
For me, the S9+ is the most rounded phone I have ever had and it has no real deal-breakers, like all the others I had.
S9+ is very well rounded device. I have both S9 and S9+, and I must say battery is very very good. I get on average 6-7 hrs sot and over a day usage on S9+ and my wife can go 2.5 days on a single charge on her S9 with 4-5 hrs sot. She not as heavy a user as me but def on the moderate to heavy usage side of things. She finishes with about 15% left, me about 11% battery left. Battery life is fantastic IMO.
thanks for your answer, it was very insightful, I didn't know about the burn in information before you comment, after looking this up it doesn't appear to be something I should be concerned about. also the mate 10 pro is listed as having a AMOLED display so the issue would be present in both I guess. I'm glad to see that the battery life of the S9+ is good.
thanks for sharing your experience, 6 hours of screen time is all I really need, the s9+ you have, is it exynos or Snapdragon ? 1:40m of charge time is actually quite decent, I placed my facts on numbers posted by people online, it seems that their S9+ charges in 2:30h. thanks to your comment I'm leaning more toward the S9+ more now.
galaxy S9+ pro? the S9+ is the ultimate eye candy, excellent battery life, sound is great now with dolby and never heard of the Mate 10 Pro.
I don't know what kind of moron is saying that the S9+ is charging in 2:30, but I always get it at 1:40 and most people get the same times.
Take a look at these:
https://youtu.be/Oy2HXrDNpYA
https://youtu.be/HCWTfuBZ2hA
https://youtu.be/GR55y1O-bgM
I have Exynos version, but is supposed that Snapdragon is a little bit better regarding battery life. I'm happy with the device and so far I haven't had any problem with it.
your reply is very assuring. 6 SOT is more than I need actually. you guys actually have 2, so 2 testimonials, this is very assuring, thank you.
LMAO ur proving my point, my friend has a mate 9. in every social event. oh this boxy looking phone looks cool, what is it ?, it's Huwaei Mate 9. . . . . MMM wut?.... u know huwaei the company the make routers ....... oh really!? u mean the chinese company......... sigh yes... ah cool chinese phone, looks flashy
I think you get them from wish.com for $4-5.
Had the mate 10 pro, kept it for 3 months then sold it. Camera was truly VERY BAD...all due to oversharpening...everything looked like an oil painting.
Software updates were another big problem... 1 update every three months.
I found the screen perfectly fine...not as good as the S9 + though.... but you are paying top dollar for the s9+.
Sold mine for a big loss too.... price on these plummets... so don't expect to take a minor hit on any resale.
And.... Might not be of importance !!!.... but the mate 10 pro has the street cred of a 3 wheeled Robin Reliant (go look it up) !!!!
On the other hand...The S9+ takes great photos. Has frequent updates. Superb screen. Wireless charging. Fast fingerprint scanner.....you know which one I'm going to recommend !!!!
Hope this helps.
"3 wheeled Robin Reliant"!!!! the line of the month!!!
And yes the fingerprint scanner is very very good.

Guys I haven't had time to reply here since I went out me and my friend went out last Thursday and got 2 titanium gray s9 plus!.
There is a lot to be said but for now its suffice to say I love it! I'm blown by this amazing phone. My friend sold both his iphone 8 and iphone x and today he bought his second so plus, liliac purple. If u guys want to see pics of the phones check the post out out on @Headon_collision on Instagram. I'm still discovering the phone and I'll comment more in few days
Are you experiencing the low volome notification issues? Some users are saying they can barely hear the notification or had missed calls. Even though the volume was turned up all the way.
No such problem. Volume is good with everything. We are currently experiencing a heatwave 45c outdoors and I'm very impressed on how efficient the heat dissipation is on this device, indoors 30c ambient the cpu and battery are both 35c. Outdoors they both dont seems to go over 43c degrees in 40c ambient
@Galaxo60 - I've just got an SM-G965F - immediately had to flash another firmware to get VoWifi - what do you mean by properly configuring the device?
Just remove apps you don't use, and disable background activity of "Android System" and you will be good.
I came from the Mate 10 Pro, wasn't impressed with the camera
Hello everyone. I just purchased the Mate 10 Pro and compared it to my Current mate 9. At same brightness levels, the mate 9 is much brighter than the mate 10 Pro. Any ideas how that could be? I'm aware the mate 9 has a LCD display and mate 10 Pro is an amoled. I'm also noticed the screen dimming issue on the mate 10 Pro, which is also a big annoyance.
Can anyone attest to this or has seen this? Any settings or suggestions?
Yes, mate 9 has brighter screen than mate 10 pro. No, you cant compare them, because you cant set them to the same brightness. No, setting the screen slider to the same place doesnt translate to the same brightness, thats not how it works, especially when screens have different brightness in the first place.
Got it. How would that affect battery life?

LCD screens require the backlight to be on all the time. AMOLED is directly lit by each
pixel or quad of pixels (red, green blue) or however the matrix is arranged. There is no
"always on" backlight with AMOLED, which, in theory, should lengthen battery life.
Your mileage, may vary though...

Honor 8X was just released in Setempber in comparison with our Huawei P20 Lite So most of the times newer is better, and this is the case, the phone has a better 12nm processor agaisnt a 16nm cpu on the P20 Lite. Price is really accessible, it feels way more medium range now, since our P20 Lite launched at 400 Euros in europe which is insane for a medium range phone, build quality is great tho on the P20 lite, and on this one I'm not sure...
The phone is biggerr tho!
The GPU is also reasonably better in terms of gaming, it's more stable. Screen pretty much the same tech, has a little less bezels but that's it. Altough I really don't know why they put microUSB on it LOL on a 2018 phone... The camera I'm not sure yet, but I do think P20 Lite's is better. P20 Lite supports aptX HD tho, which is better sound quality for bluetooth heaphones, as The Honor 8X only has normal aptX. I still prefer wired headphones though, they sound way more stable don't mind me .
Also the battery is bigger on Honor 8X as well, which is normal due to it's size, that won't make much difference tho.
This said, I, between these 2 would go with the Honor 8X, BUT, if the build quality is way worse on the 8X I would still pay the extra 100 euros to upgrade to p20 lite due the camera, usb-c, better audio DAC cause I listen to music A LOT, and I don't like this much big of a phone...
If you want more gaming, go with the Honor 8X though!
If you need a bigger screen go with the Honor 8X!
Cheers,
