Hi Folks
Hopefully a simple question for existing owners, does the 8X Max have NFC?
I'd love one of these phones , but I need NFC, as I use Android pay a lot (for commuting and small payments), I've seen conflicting information on this, with some sites say "No", others saying "Yes", but also some users reporting issues with it.
Thanks

Hello,
Yes it does have a NFC
Awesome, thank you.
Hello,
i think the Honor 8X MAX have NO NFC ... i searching long time .. . and not found.
Then i read the "Honor enjoy max" is the same like 8X Max but with NFC ... but also this phone i not found.
When i am wrong, please Shop where i can but one of the phones.
Greets, Peter
I have the Honor 8x Max and I can confirm it DOES NOT have NFC.

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....

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 ...
Hello, i would like to ask huawei users if they suggest me to buy honor 9 or better go to another phone?
- What i noticed from the forums that there are a lot of bugs and issues people are having with honor 9, and waiting for updates to fix them.
- Also, comparing it to other brands like samsung or lg, the forum doesn't have much support of devs, in terms of customs roms or fixes in case of issues ?
- Also so many people are reporting the customer support/service, is really bad compared to other brands? and hard to find how to repair a huawei phone ? is it true?
I m actually thinking of S8, so please, can you tell me about your experience and opinion?
Well i have a honor 9 and I'm happy with it. But the galaxy s8 is obviously way better in every single point
Hi I already ordered the Honor 8x but only later I realized that you cant put LineageOS on it.
I can still stop the order but what would be alternatives with good value for a cheap price (especially camera+dual sim).
Would the Poco f1 be the next best choice?

Well if you are from India your best options will be
Redmi note 5 pro
Asus Zenfone max pro m1 6gb
Or you can give this a try
Moto power one
Xiaomi mi A2 lite good bang for buck and good development going on, I'm selling my 8x no bootloader no development screw honor [emoji16]

Thank you guys for the suggestions. I'm located in Europe so the Redmi 5 Pro is sadly not an option.
The Xiaomi mi A2 Lite looks quite good, I'll have a closer look on that. Maybe the camera is a bit to weak for me.

I hope a lot of people don't buy it because of that. Like many others I contacted their support with no luck.
It's pretty unfortunate as the phone would be nice.

I'm a Xiaomi fan. I'm happy with my Mi Note 10.

Thanks all for your inputs
Hello for developers,
Why the mi 10 umi lacks such a development ,which was for Mi midrangers....
Also Mi has released the kernel sources for mi 10 /pro in Feb 2020...
Is this sign of lack of developers not interested in this device
If any developers read this,pls do post their work.
And I am sure,you ll be credited for that..
First a proper Twrp page is required and it should be updated...
And I know,rather than unstable lot of custom roms,a single stable rom is best.
But Magisk,Audio mods,are all the next level of the mobile...
I guess its because of the price of the device. Most people would rather buy OnePlus if they have to pay a lot for a phone.

Dnt know why....Mi 10 is really a well balanced smartphone,eventhough people are stick brand name.....
My friend had OnePlus 6t,Mic has gone and another no network signals automatically, bcz of rf transmitter failure.
Hope some developers had received Mi 10 /pro from Mi.:laugh:
