    Thread Dropped phone in water

    Last night the combination of a few beers while being sat in my hot tub ended with the inevitability of my Mate 20 slipping through my fingers to a depth of about 30cm before I managed to fish it out! It had a black Spigen case on if that makes any difference. I turned it off (it was still...

    Post Will mate 8 get Android O ?

    I replaced my mate 8 battery a few days ago. Working like a champ again in terms of battery life on B589fw. Cost me £15 and 20 mins using a YouTube video. Not difficult once you get the back away from the screen. Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk

    Post Which phone would you buy after a Mate 8?

    Battery, battery, battery! screen size/resolution, update history, build quality, CPU/RAM, XDA support, price point.. probably in that order. I'd never go backwards in terms of battery life. Everything else would then be considered. Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk

    Post L29C636B585 Best Nougat version

    I have this version and did factory reset etc. I still think the battery is poor in comparison to pretty much any Marshmallow rom. Max SOT I get is 6-7 hours, but it's random sometimes I get less than 5. With MM I'd typically get around 9-10 SOT. Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk

    Post Will you buy another 6 inch phone.. Mate 10 maybe?

    That's a fair comment, and I can see why a narrower phone with similar screen size would appeal to some. Also I guess it's a bit more pocketable. Personally tho I like 16:9 but guess I wouldn't rule out something slightly easier in the pocket. Xiaomi Chiron anyone...

    Post Will you buy another 6 inch phone.. Mate 10 maybe?

    I think the strategy behind 9:18 is that its different to what the last generation of phones have, it will look a bit different, so seem attractive. We have had super high res screens before for a while (LG G3 etc) but 9:18 is something new. Thing is we keep falling for it :-/ in a perfect...

    Post Will you buy another 6 inch phone.. Mate 10 maybe?

    We are seeing some big players (Samsung, LG, Google) experimenting with 18:9 (2:1) but it will be down to the consumer i guess if these phones are as popular as previous other aspect ratio models. Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using XDA Free mobile app

    With the mate 10 on the horizon, will you stick with Huawei or a different brand. Could you get a similar spec with a budget Chinese phone like Xiaomi? Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using XDA Free mobile app

    Came over the air without any sign up to any beta or anything like that, only thing I did was install the 211 rom a few weeks ago. From what I guess you need to be on 211 Rom for it to auto update. Android pay still works also.
