Ever, 26 Mar 2016Which spec of Mate 8 belonged to 2014? Point it out instead of bullshitting. True that man! May be that guy is endorsing his Samsung phone.. To be fair, im not a fanboy of any of these brands. My admiration is based on the performance of the phone, regardless of the brand. From my experience Mate 8 is the best phone available. Period. It is exactly what we all are expecting a flagship device to perform. Believe me when im saying this, being a ex-Iphone 6s, Note 5, Note 4, S6 Edge ,Lg G4, Xperia Z5 user.. :) Cheers

Hi Guys, I have successfully updated my Mate 8 in Dubai . I will summarize the changes which i have noticed ;
1. In simpler words, Mate 8 has become super quick after the update( Feels like upgraded from a V10 engine to a V12)
2. Huawei claim better power efficiency over the new update and I have to agree on that. Removed from charger at 100% at 7:00 AM and now its 2:16 PM (in Dubai) having 78% left with a Screen On Time of 3 Hours (Gaming+Facebook/Instagram + Camera etc)!!. Definitely better.
3. I feel camera quality also got better and with better exposure and overall quality. There is a mixed reviews about the camera on this phone. But personally i consider this is one of the best in the current flagships and always got best results on my photos. Low light situations are a bit mediocre though IMO. Remember its the user take the photos not the camera. If you know , there are plenty of options in this phone :)
4. The user control over screen temperature is now unlimited. Try it for yourself.
5. Health App has been added with a simple, clean & accurate interface.
6. Google now on tap feature, exciting for those who make use of it. (Which I'm not using/disabled)
7.Observed a hike in Benchmarks ie, geekbench 3. Single core is now 1750 (Stable) Multicore at 6300+(Stable)
8. Betterment on the already best RAM management ( 2.5 Ram always available even after multitasking for a long time)
Well guys, his is my observation in a nutshell , over 24 hours And must say im really enjoying this smartphone prodigy Mate 8 , than ever. Well Done Huawei! Cheers friends!

Mate8, 30 Mar 2016How long it took you for finalising the update? Mine is frozen in 100% with system optimizatio... moreFor downloading the package it depends upon network speed I am in KSA using STC network so it take almost 20min for downloading/installation and system optimization.
You shoud restart your cell phone and try again if it is frozen at 100% may be it is due to some network issue or some bytes remaining for complete package
