Dear XDA
I've been hanging to my note since almost it's release, I have nothing against it and I love it except that I grow tired of its size and TW. (using CM10.2 as we speak). but the design is boring and its full of scratches and cracks now, I want to upgrade without breaking the bank !!
Am not fond of the new dogs (S4/Z/etc etc)
I was thinking of either this unique phone (I love the design) or the Xperia SP but I've heard alot of bad things on the SP.
My wife has an Ascend G300 and for her and for the price its an excellent phone.
What would I miss the most from the Note? (I don't really use the S-pen ..)
And for those of you who has it, Would you buy it again, I mean do you regret getting it?
I don't mind the performance issues since its still better than my note, plus am getting it $100 cheaper than the announced price, So I guess it's a good deal, Right?
Definitely, ul fall in love with the P6 the moment u touch it
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using xda app-developers app
For what price do you guys buy the P6 ? The standard price im seeing seems to be the 420-435 $ range. But i see the Sony xperia ZR selling at 435-460$ range. So why would you guys go for P6 over the XZR .:silly:
The P6 definitely is better than the Xperia SP. But the Xperia SP sells at way lower price than the P6. I don't know how it is priced in your countries but out here i see it is close to the price range of Xperia Z series.
I changed a month ago my galaxy note gt- n7000 huawei ascend this P6 . I am delighted . The battery is great compared to the note . Only one catch , no development of roms yet. The bootloader is locked . But I recommend the change. It is much faster and more fluid. I also used almost the S -Pen.
Thanks for the replies.
The Ascend P6 here (Egypt) is sold for $420
while the S4 or the Xperia Z are sold for : $700 to $750.
The ZR is sold for $600
The Xperia sp is for $460
and I can buy the P6 almost $100 cheaper thanks to my Credit Points.
------------
So as you can see the P6 is substantially cheaper than most new mid-range phones yet looks much better than them

Yes the sony showroom price was actually around 600$ but I have see elsewhere they are selling much lower. See this UAE site for example:
P6: http://uae.souq.com/ae-en/huawei-ascend-p6-8-gb-wi-fi-+-3g-black-5700899/i/
ZR : http://uae.souq.com/ae-en/sony-xperia-zr-3g-black-english-5476197/i/
^ The ZR with an offer has the exact price of p6 i.e. 1600 AED (435$). While without offer, the price is 1650-1700 AED.
Maybe the ZR has 8gb, 16gb and 32gb internal memory versions. But with the P6 having 8gb internal, doesn't make a difference comparing it with 8gb of ZR.

Yeah, Sadly this offer is not here tho!
Just as mind boggling ! the old S3 is still much more expensive than the P6 ! ($100 more!) heck the S2!! is $50 cheaper than the P6
Samsung & Sony here never get any cheaper.
The only serious contender for the P6 with better performance and a better price isthe LG Optimus 4X ($385) on an offer! but it looks dull and boring tbh.

And I had a One X .. it melted and almost blew up in my face ... Never HTC again for me
If you can wait a couple of months, there would be the Nexus 5 out.
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/mobile-phone/3437472/nexus-5-release-date-price-specs/
But most probably it would 6 months until it reaches the middle east. So p6 is the best on the market for now.
just sold my note and got a black p6 Love it so far ... performance is more than adequate (which was the most feared subject for me) the OS/launcher is smooth as butter.

hi this is willi from egypt.
you said u can buy huawei ascend p6 100 dollars cheaper due to your credit points, what are these credit points ?
and from where can i buy it with a cheaper price in egypt?
and from your experience is it worth to shift to huawei from samsung while huawei doesn't have good service and maintenance and support in egypt as you know?
this is my e-mail [email protected]
i would appreciate if you respond real quick to my questions and help me regarding this phone in egypt. thanks
I have a Note II and my partner a P6. The P6 is an awesome piece of kit (as in bang for buck, you can't even get close to it with anything else...), and I see over on the P6 area of this forum, the first custom ROM is out. No CM or anything yet, but it's slick looking.
My folks each have S3's, and I consider the P6 as good as one of those anyday as far as daily use is concerned.
i have never heard of this device and would to know more

performance of honor 5c is much better compared to honor 5x, its not snapdragon, just the clock speed, cores and optimisation that matters, kirin is powerful as snapdragon,in some cases even more powerful #mate9.

i get advancing technology etc, but there is no point in phones having 10 cores in the helio's as they still cant catch up to snapdragon 8xx's overall performance. they are slowly catching up tho and do they really save that much battery life by switching between cores?
But latest kirin is better than the latest SD 821 series(mate 9 vs the Google pixel) check performance review on Xda... battery, performance everything much better than SD 82x series.

The kirin beats it in geekbench scores but SD beats kirin in antutu. The gpu isn't great in the kirin either
For my part I bought this phone about one month and a half ago, I came from a Wiko Wax 4G I bought two years ago at 180€ (approximately the same price as the Honor 5C nowadays) and I'm very happy of this new phone.
The screen is great, without being incredible, the fact it's a 1080p screen is a really good point too. Also, it's maybe the fastest phone for this price range. That being said, I don't know US-specific devices, I leave in french so I only know french devices but for that I've seen that's the best you can find under 200$.

Do you guys think we will ever get a Mate 30 X ?
I mean Huawei have just released Mate 20 X 5G and they also work on Mate X, i'm not so sure about a future mate 30 X afaik there's already leaks for Mate 30/pro but nothing hints about a mate 30 X.
I'd like to think they would still release one, and it seems to have been a fairly popular device, certainly in the UK it's very readily available from high street stores.
If not, it's likely the 'X' brand will just be for foldables

Ye i hope too they will still release and not replace it for the Fold because it's not the same price range.

I’m thinking that they will. It’s a very popular phone, and its price hasn’t dropped as severely as the 20 pro. Of course introducing a 30x could be “shooting them selves in the foot” as it’ll detract sales from the 5g version.
AFAIK it sold significantly better than the 20 Pro in some territories.
Sales are not the problem ... or you could say that they are. Huawei, like all the other big device makers are betting the farm on folders for huge new margins and increased profits. That's part of the reason they're constantly narrowing the screens. They want you to pay €1500-2000 to get 16:9 or wider aspect.
That's why phablets have been pretty much abandoned this year. If you see any at all, they're likely to be at 19.5:9, to make them narrow enough not to interfere with the folders.
IMO the 18.5:9 on the Mate 20 X is the absolute limit as far as reasonable usability is concerned. Anything worse than that, you lose so much of the screen when dealing with media, and it's pretty appalling for browsing and general productivity.
IMO if we see one, it'll share the same aspect as the Mate 20 Pro and P30 series. 19.5:9.
It's also why Xiaomi have canned the Max and Note series.
It is surprising though that none of the smaller players (who can't yet develop folders) has had the balls to do some 16:9 or 16:10 phablets. They'd sell like hot cakes.

It’s probably 50/50, if they release a 30x it’ll detract from the 20x 5g sales. On the others hand it’s a really popular phone and it’s keeping its value more than the 20 pro.
Hopefully the Mate30X will get the AMOLED screen from Samsung instead of from LG.
And the Netherlands doesn't have the Mate20X officialy but long live shipping. I ordered mine from a German eBay seller.
30x could be a reality thanks to also Asus ROG phone 2.
Huawei has a special Ace with the 20X, it needs a bit more refinement and they could nail a super impressive phone.

Yeah but how many people are actually using the 20X as a 'gaming' phone as its initial launch marketing dictated? Very few IMO, hence why it was quickly dropped.
It's a big phablet for power users.
Like I say, if we get a 30X, I'll be amazed if they haven't significantly narrowed it, so as to make sure they don't cannibalise any folder sales. This is also the reason why I'm sure we won't see bezel-less tablets - no holding them isn't the reason why - you just put bevels on the rear panel.

Huawei should make their conference in less than a month, nothing about a 20 X successor has filtered only 30 and pro.

Didn't know it wasn't allowed but I found it, that's funny, the article is exact from today
I hope they are right as they're the first giving some clues about it like "Mate 30 X expected to get bigger screen than 7.2 inches" damn
I also followed huawei central for this but news are very unclear. Just few infos, no one spec.
On the other hand, last autumn 20x also was surprise, some rumours were that 20 pro will have huge display, but not much talk about 20x...
So, maybe
check this out guys, there might actually be a mate 30 x )))

Ooohhhhhhhh yeeeaaaahhhhhh, me 2.
Will be awesome and think or really hope it comes with 5G to, but if it don't, they make a 4G and a 5G version ofc, so it will not really be a problem i guees
Last year i heard about m20x very late.
I had my old Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra since 2016 and heard about Mi Max 3 which i bought, but it had a fake rom and i sold it after 1 month.
Then i bought the Samsung Note 8, but sold it again after 1 week, it was all to tiny for me, really... yes.
Then i bought the Honor 8X Max and around same time the Honor Note 10 came to, i bought this to and sold the 8xm again [emoji1787]. I keep the N10 for around 3 month, i really loves it and thheennnnn i heard about my baby Mate 20X L29 (636), then i bought this and one of my daughters got the N10.
But this year no Mi Max 4 and around Honor 9X Max and Honor Note 11, they will not come before next year, because they release them every second year only, so maybe it will be Honor 10X Max and Honor Note 12 instead i think.
So im happy they will release a M30X and even with a larger display, thats i like a lot.
I still dream of a Mate X phone with 16:9 format 6,8 inch in 16:9 could give us a hell of a phone... I will keep on dreaming LOL.

Don't jump to conclusions. YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7vPJYhtbAo looks more like list of wishes and speculations to me than firm confirmation of Mate 30X launch. On the other side China and the US are still in harsh trading negotiations. I think it's too early to say there will be no Google for Mate 30.

Here they say it will have Android but without the Google apps.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...unch-under-cloud-of-android-ban-idUSKCN1VI240
Huawei will be doing fine with Harmony OS. Who needs google apps when you can have all the Chinese alternative apps. No youtube? Use Youku. No Google search? Use Baidu. No gmail? Use QQ mail.
Frankly, the Mate 20 X is the best of a bad bunch, hardware wise.
The *quality* of the hardware is outstanding. Screen quality, camera quality, performance, build quality etc etc.
However the form factor is crap. All these tall devices waste so much screen area. They're crap for browsing. Crap for productivity. Crap for videos and photos.
At 7.2", the screen has 1.5mm less width than my 6.6" Honor Note 8, and about 16mm more height.
Guess what's more useful in 99% of use cases, and easier to use without thumb gymnastics? The extra width, not the extra height.
For all intents and purposes, the screen feels marginally smaller than my HN8, and definitely more awkward to use.
If a 30 X does appear. I can't possibly imagine it being less than 19.5:9 (20 X is 18.5:9), because they want as big a gulf as possible between normal handsets and the Mate X (and its coming successors). They want you to pay through the nose for usable screen width, and the marketing guys love these nominally diagonally large screen measurements that narrow aspect ones have.
19.5:9 at probably 7.4-7.5" inches ... have fun with that.

I tried making a dummy for the phone to compare the size to my note 5 and I would definitely take 7.4 or 7.5 with more smart aspect like you mentioned, either way this kind of device is for big size phablets fanatics like us, we know what we want and can handle it.
I am a big fan of mate 20X, despite of the notch on the 30x as rumours shows, i'll be waiting for the boss.....

I tried making a dummy for the phone to compare the size to my note 5 and I would definitely take 7.4 or 7.5 with more smart aspect like you mentioned, either way this kind of device is for big size phablets fanatics like us, we know what we want and can handle it.

I'd happily take a 7.5-8" device in 16:9 16:10, as you'd actually be getting useful screen area. Even if it was very difficult to fully operate one handed.
Over 7" at 19.5:9 (or even worse) ... it's just pointless. You have huge areas of unused or poorly utilised screen area, and a really un-ergonomic device - unless you have a freakishly long thumb.

I am all in for a bug screen that's well used, I already don't care for one handed use bc I want big so I won't complain about sth I already know!
I totally get it about the aspect ratio.

I am a big fan of mate 20X, despite of the notch on the 30x as rumours shows, i'll be waiting for the boss.....

I didn't buy the mate 20 x to wait and see if there is a mate 30x.
I don't want too much changes but somethings could get better like higher resolution for more clarity, better video quality / cam etc, maybe a hole bunch camera on the top left side to minimize the distraction etc or even in the middle like the note, an even bigger battery if possible ( 5000 is still awesome) 8 gigs of ram to be standard across all versions with 256 gigs.
I hope they take the pen serious this time... I love love loved the Mate 20 X but I'm being forced to consider the Note 10 because of the lack of pen functionality. Doesn't work near screen edge, short battery, can't use while charging, can't use when dead, button is useless, tip is tacky and lacks feedback, no real software support, etc. I would love to go Huawei again if they put more thought into the pen.

Totally agree with you on the pen, right now it does feel just like any other stylus etc
Xiaomi just dropped the black shatk 3 pro days ago. I was thinking of buying the 20X. But now since xiaomi released this phone I'm leaning towards getting it. But before I make any decisions on buying it I wanted to get you guy's opinions first since you own the 20X. I'm a lover of big phones. Let me know what you guys think !!!
There is already a topic about it here.
But i'm definitely going to buy it and compare it with my Mate X 20 5G.
7.1 inch QHD+ @ 90hz sound great. My only concerns are camera's, thickness, weight and Chinese ROM for daily use.
Bad news is that the release is delayed until March 27.

Hey at least its only just a little over 2 weeks. Someone here said its not compatible with tmobile. But after having looked up the spec sheet it looks like its compatible with tmobile's bands. Its a big premium phone thats a gaming machine.. how isnt it world compatible? That being the case I will most likely buy it.
I was so close to buying the 20X last week until I foubd out about the black shark. Definitely will make it my next phone.
Think the cameras will be fine.
