Huawei Mate 9 Pro arrives to UAE in February 2017 - Huawei Mate 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

I have owned Mate 9 for almost two months . And sold it waiting for the Pro variant to become available in Europe (waited for a good deal). Surprisingly, our dealers confirmed the Pro with both 4 and 6gb ram coming to UAE in a week from now.
About time to settle with a phone after owning Mate 9, S7 Edge, Note 7, HTC 10, LG V20 and Google Pixel XL.
Mate 9 series to me is a piece of mystery that I always admire.

U.S.A. 7x Owners: Do You Want To Upgrade Your Ram / Storage From 3/32 to 4/64?

U.S.A. 7X Owners..
Are you a little peeved that the BND-L24 U.S.A. variant only comes with 3/32 Ram/Storage.. while the rest of the planet gets 4/64 ?
Don't really care for the 7x in Black? in Red? or the Blue?
Maybe you prefer a nice Silver ? or perhaps a nice Gold colored 7x ?
Got an extra $50.00 or so bucks ?
Boy..... Do I have a deal for you.
Step Right Up !
And purchase your shiny new HUAWEI 7x !!!
That's Right...... *HUAWEI* 7x
You see.. in their infinite wisdom.. Huawei has now decided.. we kinda got SCREWED here in the good old U.S. of A. with our 3/32 variants..
So, they've seen fit to rectify that by throwning us the same bone they've thrown the rest of the planet.. in the form of one
*Honor Mate SE*
Which is nothing more than a rebranded 7x with 4/64 instead of 3/32...
Oh... and it comes in Silver & Gold instead of Black, Blue and Red.
Price looks to be $250.00.. instead of the $199.99 the 7x currently sells for now in the U.S.A.
Now... the Silver Lining in all of this is:
Will it LAUNCH with EMUI / OREO 8.0 ? .. the B192 update with Faical Unlock latest patches etc..
This one has me thinking.... (mainly for resale and moving up from Honor's *Sub-Brand* title/ status) it MIGHT just be worth the $50.00 to make the switch..

Same Old Same Old..

Nah...
Same Old Same Old......... Nougat at launch.. (and god only knows when 8.0 will finally get to the U.S.of A... always last on the country's to get it list) .. so same old 7x not worth extra cash for 1Gig of Ram and 64Gb of storage.
And no guarantees (TeamKirin excepted) of any more Developer Support.
The View 10... or the Tried & True OnePlus 5T ( and OnePlus 6 in June.. ) seem to be the Sweet Spot.. Price and Interest wise at XDA (The View 10 is pretty damn strong out of the box.. and gets a lot of press)
The ONLY Budget device now that Without Question will either launch with Oreo 8.0 ( 8.1 ? ) OR get MAJOR Developer's onboard is the Motorola G6 Plus with that Snapdragon 630 engine.
Living in the middle east, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, I bought a brand new 4gb ram 64gb internal storage for just $265 including delivery.
It is unfair you get bummed for certain products but so do many others. Places like Brazil, Columbia and parts of Eastern Europe get f***ed the hardest when it comes to tax and sky high prices on almost everything especially electronics.
The US is usually the cheapest when it comes to cheaper pricing when it comes to electronics among many other items. Computer components and such are the cheapest in the US compared to any other place, so in a way consider yourself lucky.
In the UK, we get f***ed hard when it comes to taxes on pc hardware.
We All Have Dilemma's..

Yeah.. I Feel You On The Taxation...
When it comes to Chinese phones in the U.S.A. , we are ALWAYS last on the list when it comes to getting updates.
I don't know if politics plays a part in this or not.
Whenever Huawei / Honor figures out how to make EMUI / OREO 8.0 work on other devices besides their Flagships.. and actually starts the regional rollouts..
The U.S.of A. will be the VERY LAST region to get this major update.. That's where your region has a HUGE advantage.
We all know, China will take care of their own 1st.. Then will come India, Euoupe / UK, Mars & Venus.. then they'll take a weeks vacation..... then, they'll come back and start rolling it out 1 city at a time to the good old U.S.of A.
It's been almost a month now (well.. 3 weeks for sure) since the 1st regions started receiving the B192 / Facial /AR update.
Has your region received that update yet?
Someone (I guess on here from Honor USA ) posted in one of my threads that, the U.S.A. would start receiving EMUI / OREO 8.0 in April...
I'll bet $$$ out of my Next Device Fund that we will get no sniffs of that update in April...
May / June is much more realistic for the U.S. of A. if how they are rolling out the B192 update is any indication of how they do business.
I think I'll wait and see what the Mate SE holds. I've been wanting a 7x for a while now, but Amazon is still showing out of stock. I'll either give it a couple months and see how the reviews are or see what the SE brings. Maybe they'll fix the Bluetooth/wifi issue and other nit picky things.
You Definitely Have Options..

Sir.. You Know You Can Purchase The Device Directly From Honor's Website...
https://www.hihonor.com/us/index.html... if you are in the U.S. of A... I think, if you are a Prime Member you will have a little longer return period buying it through Amazon.. I had another thread where someone was told they could not even return their Amazon purchased deivce.. I posted proof that I did indeed return my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 back in August with no issues whatsoever.. I am a Prime Member so, that may have had something to do with it.. but keep that in mind as oppsed to buying it directly from Honor.. which has a 15 day return period.
To be honest.. Unless you prefer Gold / White or Silver/ Black to the Honor colors.. It's The EXCACT Same Phone.
I thought maybe.. just maybe by it not being the "Sub-Brand" it would launch with 8.0 and all the other goodies already installed...
No Such Luck... It's the same phone with the Huawei branding.
3 other devices to Strongly consider...
The Honor View 10 ( My 1st choice :angel: )
The OnePlus 5T/ 6
The Motorola G6 Plus (should be unveiled at MWC in a few days)
Either of these would be a worthy investment.. the 7x is too.. but if you are into Developer Support, these devices are going to get considerbly more attention than the 7x.
If you alread have the funds for the 7x.. and don't seem to mind waiting a couple of months more... it would give you time to slip another few hundred away and have the option to get a 6GB / 128 (rumored) full boat Moto G6 or the incredible Honor View 10 or OnePlus 5T / 6
One of those 3 will be my next option for sure.
P.S.
No Bluetooth or Wi-Fi issues on my 7x whatsoever.. Actually, I have no Mechanical or Software Glitches period.
But my 7x is Completely Stock with a locked bootloader. :good:

Thank you for all the info. Currently using a moto e4 and it's been doing fine except I want tether capability on cricket. Moto locks that down. I had the G5+ and liked it.
I'd like to purchase on Amazon for the reason you listed. In USA and am a prime member so return should be no problem.
I used to unlock/root all my phones but haven't the past couple, haven't seen a need to.
My contenders right now are the 7x (mate SE), zte pro v8, or zte axon 7 mini.

I can't bring myself to get gold lol. I purchased a zte v8 pro to try. If I don't like I'll return it and get a 7x.
Since this is just a rebranded Honor 7X has anyone tried to root, bootloader unlock, and put TWRP on the Mate SE?
My question regarding Mate is who provides the software updates to the Device, Honor or Huawei.

This is my question as well. Just got a Huawei Mate SE and would like to root it..
You can also get your Huawei Mate SE via amazon here in the US. I bought my honor 7x (didn't want to spent 50 bucks more for a budget phone) through amazon and so far so good.

Take this, wait for 2018 version or take Xiaomi Mi A1? Or switch to HTC U11 Life?

Hi guys,
I am coming from the LG V30+ which didn't really rock me, changed it for a Huawei Mate Pro 10, which isn't really my choice to be honest because of EMUI and the nailed up system.
Now I am thinking of the above-mentioned phones:
Nokia 6
Nokia 6 2018
HTC U11 Life
Xiaomi Mi A1
I'd just like to have a good phone, no need for high end range any more, with a good visible notification light and/or active screen, some big internal and/or SD slot, which gets updates regularly. I do not want to buy some iOS device for some regular system upgrades, I just love my Android freedom, tbh. It should also work flawless with my Pebble Steel and Mi Band 2 or other smart devices.
THank you for your help, I am sick of burning money for the wrong phones

Wait for april, nokia 7 plus is going to be launch, its the best phone that matches your demand
Xiaomi Mi A1 has no NFC, also it does not support some LTE bands in US/Europe. So it depends where you live and whether you use Google Pay. Re Nokia 6 (2018) don't buy Chinese version unless you live in China.

Buy the Note 7 FE in July 2018?

Hi guys, I have the chance to buy the Note 7 FE for £370, but just saw a few threads about screen issues, where parts of the screen only register touch from the stylus, is this something that's going to happen eventually, like the LG G4/Nexus 5x bootloop issue? Would you recommend buying the Note 7 FE in July 2018?
Thanks XDA community
So far, my device still functioning properly
Same with @masterinc, i use from november 2017 and still okey ?
Bought mine in November 2017, had one warranty issue (motherboard issue that they fixed pretty quick) and since then it's been buttery smooth. It's being updated with the latest patch as we speak.
It's nice, but not worth 370 GBP at all! Better get an S7 if u dont need the pen or USB-C.
Don't buy it now. It's already old device.. And that price is really high. It's sold for less since it's an outdated device by now.. Where are you buying it from?
Are there still online retailers that sell it? All the UAE retailers have sold out and I'm not finding anything on the US Amazon page.
Always wanted one and disappointed it never got released the same way at the Note 7 did.

Suggestion Needed : to buy new Oneplus : OP7pro or OP8

Hi, I have been using the oneplus 5 for almost 3 years now and I want to upgrade.
In My budget I have two options Oneplus 8 - 6gb - 128 G Version or Oneplus 7 Pro - 8 Gb - 256 Gb Version
In India both models are having almost the same price (1k difference with OP7pro higher price than OP8)
I am really confused which one to buy.
I understand that OP8 may be future proof with latest processor and 5G but having only 6Gb RAM and ugly Green color option concerns me.
At the same time worried that OP7 Pro may be old enough not to get official ROM updates after 1 year.
Please help me choose. :angel:
@firoz3321 THREAD CLOSED as not related to the OnePlus 5 at all. Above post has been copied to [Discussion] What's your next smartphone / What should I buy.
