        Great phone but I was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent screen protector that will fit properly, thanks.

          I ordered this on 14th on flosmall and received on 21st feb and so far no regrets amazing battery life but I request Huawei to release international firmware so that we can use this device extensively for contacts I used clone it is there any way to register Huawei id outside China region

              Used it for 1 month already. This phone is great price for its feature. It survives after a few drop tests.
              The good: fast and responsive, good looking screen, visible under sunlight, good sound quality, good voice call quality, good reception.
              The not so good: Too many Huawei software to delete, cannot get Google contact to sync, fingerprint sensor at the back is not convenient, black edge is too wide, no black color, no NFC, camera focus is slow, heavy.

                    With all the reading online, I wanted to avoid having to flash a new rom just to suit our region (never done it & didnt want to mess up). With your info, it sounds good. I'll probably have to manually download updates when they become available then.

                    Did you get your phone online? It's a pity huawei doesn't bring the honor range to SA, overall they look good and worth the price overseas compared to what's offered in SA.

Okay I see, in regards to it bein... moreI downloaded the google play and google services apk's from www.apkmirror.com and i think they were the international versions not specifically the SA version. However, when i log in, i access the international version of the store and am not stuck to the Chinese version.

                      When i started using the phone, i set SA as the region and a day after i got one OTA update for the OS while using 4G on my mtn line. Since then i haven't received any further updates and am not sure whether its because they have not issued additional ones or that the region has locked me out. but in terms of the play store and app updates everything is working perfectly.

                      I would have to check a few forums on Honor Note 8 to see if there are any additional OTA system or security updates that i haven't accessed yet.

                        Okay I see, in regards to it being a Chinese @ first, when you installed google playstore, does it recognise the IP address & give you the SA version of the store? Reason i ask is because im thinking of getting the honor 6x (bln-22) from india, so dont want to be stuck with an India version of the playstore.

                        Also in terms of updates & security patches, do you receive any via OTA? (On initial setup, what region did you choose, Africa, SA?). I read online, the region/country stuff & it's confusing. Or do you manually have to download & install?

                        Thanks again! Appreciated

So i had to disable a few of the Chinese apps including the defat Huawei app store and install google apps including the play store. Syncing contacts and calendar details needs to be facilitated by installation of additional apps. So thats the minor tweaking i meant.

                                  I have a Note 8. The smartphone is fantastic, but I have to talk about two problems that I only noticed when it arrived. It has a black border inside the screen that I do not know what it's for, but that does not make it take full advantage of the 6.6 inches, this left me very disappointed. The other point is that it is not possible to do spell checking or word suggestion, nor is it possible to insert a dictionary in the language of your country. This makes it very difficult to use the keyboard when typing fast. It only has support in China. Apart from this it is very fast, stylish and long battery life. Up to two and a half days without carrying on moderate use.

I had to do several tweaks (without rooting) because mine is not an international version but everything works fine. The only thing am missing is the english version of the music and video apps)
