The phone looks pretty. I used the phone without recharging for 3 days, while I frequently browsed internet and watched two movies (~3 hours).
The screen resolution is good enough for human eyes. It is hard to visualize difference in pixel density between the ~245 ppi screen of this phone and those high-end ~450 ppi full HD screens, such as those of Galaxy S4 and LG G2.
The phone does not heat up at all unless I play some games which demand a lot of processing. To be honest, I do not recommend you playing games on any smartphone, as they are good at draining power and therefore will eventually kill the batteries.
The phone runs apps as fast as (maybe even faster than) all the high-end phones despite its suboptimal CPU, probably because it does not need to support full-HD display. The 2 G RAM is more than enough for this phone. Usually, there is more than 1 G RAM free, while Galaxy S4 and LG G2 are often on the edge of being short of RAM memory. That is probably why Galaxy S5 and LG G3 now have 3 G RAM installed.
Overall, I think the hardwares are well combined to allow excellent performance, although individually only the ~4000 mAh battery represents the best of its kind on the market. I highly recommend you buying a phone with a high-capacity battery rather than a power-draining super-high resolution screen which cannot be well appreciated by human eyes.
The only thing which bothers me a little is the power key on the side of the phone as I frequently hit it unintentionally. It would be better to redesign it to respond over double or triple clicks. Is it possible to write up an app to accomplish this?

when will this available here in the Philippines? i have been using the Ascend Mate 1, and it is really an amazing phone. so i am hoping the upgraded version will be the best. another question is; how come those units that are sold in the USA only have 3900 mAh of battery? will it also be the same battery capacity that will be sold in asia, specifically in the Philippines? i hope still huawei will maintain the same battery capacity and all the specs posted here, if will be sold in the philippines, and i am hoping, soon it will arrive here. some one can answer please? thanks

Got mine on July 9. Since my old phone had a regular sim, I just wi-fi to set it up. Box is top quality, device isn't as large as I thought. Physically, between it and my GT-N7000, it's only 1/2" taller, but 0.8" MORE screen!
I don't understand the comments about the screen resolution. Coming from the Note1, this one is better than that. Speaker is clearer & louder. Camera snaps are excellent. Took most of the afternoon for google to send the 100+ apps to the phone, get the email app set up, install Nova Launcher, tweak it the way I wanted. Battery at start was 46%, when I finished it was still at 40%. Before I ended work for the day, I shaved down my regular size sim to fit the micro sim holder, fired it up, phone works perfectly, right now, limited to H+ speed until I get the sim switched out. Tried all sorts of APN's but I guess my account/sim won't allow LTE to come on.
So far so good. Nice screen, very big battery, and an attractive price...what's to complain about?

I received my phone on Monday and I am loving it! When I got it, it was a total surprise. The receipt email that I received said that I would get notification on when the phone would be shipped out,(never got that email unless it went to my spam box)but from ordering to shipping took a full week.
I got the black version with the free case and airtime for the $300 special order. Also tossed in for free was the phone to phone charging cable that sells for $10. I am not going to complain free is free!
The case is the only thing that I have a problem with its nice but I can tell that I will need to buy a new one here in the next 3 months. The build for it is not worth the price by itself, its pleather and plexiglass and feels just like plastic unlike the case covers from samsung (unless we are comparing it to the first gen galaxy 3 cases) In my opinion I think that the hard case may be the better buy. Although I dont have the hard case to compare it with.
The phone itself has much more real-estate that the Nexus 4 that I am moving from. The biggest draw for me is the antenna and where my Nexus usually gets 0-2 bars on the T-Mo network, the Mate 2 gets anywhere from 2-3 bars! it scores an excellent in my book for that!
The battery life is phenomenal! When I received the phone the battery was at 1/2 and lasted 2 days with normal use (phone calls, web browsing, some gaming and use of the GPS, not to mention the smidgen of trouble I had setting it up because I was away from home with no wi-fi and inability to connect to T-Mo's data stream).
The screen is decent not much difference from the Nexus if you don't count my ability to actually read the screen in bright sunlight. The phone is thinner than the Nexus and weighs slightly more which should be expected really since it is a much bigger phone.
On the processor end its pretty quick and I havent gotten burned yet like with the nexus which tends to overheat in my pocket whenever I put it to sleep while playing Injustice.
All in all I like the phone, the case, not so much. When compared to other phones that I have own or purchased for family, it goes a little something like this....
Dell Streak.... was a joke
LG L9..... gets stomped on in every way. Google honestly needs to mandate that the minimum specs for ram and rom be 1GB and 8GB respectively. Anything less is a waste of time and money!
Huawei P6.... seems like a piece of crap next to this. The home spun CPU needed to be left in China!
The Galaxy Note.... close but no cigar
Huawei G700.... Good phone, but with the lack of LTE, it gets trumped by the Mate 2.
