note 5 user, 18 Feb 2016which one you found better, right now i am using note 5 duo... moreI switched mainly to the mate 8 because of thd battery life and the larger screen size with minimal body increase, honestly i dont feel any difference when the phone is in my pocket compared to the note5,
I have to say also that samsung touch wiz is better than huawei EMUI but still i get the functionality i need from it except the vibration issue i mentioned earlier. Also the main camera on the not 5 is better, but i think mate8 camera will be fixed with a software update, it's a sony sensor after all.

    This is an excellent phone but but but ................

    The camera is nothing compared to samsung's cameras.
    I had to customize the entire phone from launcher in this case using the nova launcher using my own phone software.
    The phone is the chinese version and the UI is not very nice my opinion.

    Solution for the camera is to install software from google play store.
    Installing the google launcher is very tricky and needs some strange workaround to be found on youtube it be same as installing on a xiaomi phone.

    Otherwise very snappy phone super fast .
    At times the wifi can be fast but very slow going down to kb even bytes.

    Again I install a wifi manager from google play store which seemed to have improved this.

    Still if you need a good camera and not very technical and don't like all this work arounds stick to known brands in this case nexus p6 does a lot more for you !

                          i have been using the Mate 8 for one week and its an AWESOME phone,
                          only downside which is really annoying is that the vibration intensity of notifications is very low to the point that if i set the phone on vibration only mode, i miss a lot of notifications (i guess that should be fixed in a future software update )

                          other than that i'm really loving the screen to body ratio and the 6" seems perfect (coming from note5)

                              Could anyone please help me decide on which mobile I'm going to buy. I am confused which one to buy, GALAXY NOTE 5, SAMSUNG S6 PLUS or HUAWEI MATE 8 PREMIUM. All the feature are almost the same, but I'm seeking for the excellent OVERALL quality. Please help me.

                                        Does anyone know if Mate 8 will come to USA? I know I can get it easily on amazon but worry about the guarantee after buying it in case of when it is broken.
