Anonymous, 29 Jan 201690% of my calling is done either through a bluetooth headset or on speaker, so this is a non-factor.Well not really use to answering with BluTooth, i just don't understand why people love smart phones that have more then 6inch screen sizes, its more of a tablet beyond that point. My side is 5 inch,5.2 and 5.5 no more then that.

Lol who cares about 4K resolution, the only phone to have to is the Sony Z5 right, now they expect all phones to have it, i rather have a longer lasting battery and still keep the device thin as possible.

AnonD-396766, 29 Jan 2016what's up with the FM Radio, almost all of huawei smartphone got it, yet it is barely used. FM radio is very easy to implement. does not consume much physical resources.

1080p screen? Good enough - this is not some 32-inch TV. Give it a break.
CPU? Software developers make apps with low-end processors in mind because you know, most people aren't rich. And many of them are too lazy to optimize their apps - they should be punished.
GPU? Good enough. Gamers aren't the only market - though they tend to be the noisiest and the most elitist, complete with condescending attitudes.
Camera? Good enough. Could be better, so go ahead suggest cramming a full-frame sensor in there. Good luck.
Other aspects are right up there with the best of them. There are shortcomings, and it's probably not gonna be the best flagship out there. But for sure it can hold its own out there.

AnonD-493662, 29 Jan 2016Camera Sensor Hardware
LG G4 is Sony IMX234 sensor
Meizu Pro 5 is Sony IMX230 sensor
Samsun... morePeople are all about MP and image sensors...
The lens has a big impact on image quality too, actually more so than MP.
Also, thermal expansion of the lens can/will degrade image quality. On top of that if the imaging sensor gets hot, it will increase background noise and impact sensor sensitivity.
So if the camera module is very close to the chipset or to a heatpipe, image quality will degrade more the hotter it gets. Overall design will determine that.
By the way, that part of the camera you can touch with your finger, is not the lens, it's the lens cover. The actual camera lens is behind it and is the size of the average pinhead (tiny by slr standards).

Camera Sensor Hardware
LG G4 is Sony IMX234 sensor
Meizu Pro 5 is Sony IMX230 sensor
Samsung s6 and s6edge using Sony IMX240 sensor
Samsung note 4 and 5 using Sony IMX240 sensor
Huawei Mate 8 Camera Sensor is Sony IMX298 sensor
Sony xperia Z5 series is Sony IMX300 sensor
it is all Sony sensor,
and the one that used on Mate 8
were released on November 2015.
i think its just a matter of software update
so camera will be better i believe

AnonD-483210, 29 Jan 2016Well do the math...6 inch and 1080p makes how much ppi?:D
do you know how much ppi iphone 6 and 6s has? 326 ppi.
While Huawei Mate 8 got 368 ppi.

If not then the Mate 8 would never be that much better than the Mate 7.

Anonymous, 29 Jan 2016No. I'm not touching SD810 and 3400mah battery. Has to be over 4000mah.I have the x900 and I can tell you : no overheating with the Qualcomm 810 at all, reviews confirmed it. Unless you want sheer benchmark prowess and processor perfection, in which case I can't help you, I don't run Antutu and all and I don't play power hungry games either.
It's also cheaper than a OnePlus 2.
And if you don't like Snapdragon 810, the new x910 runs on Qualcomm 820.
But it's your choice.

The screen means 80% when I am buying a phone so the screen on this phone doesn't come even close to Note 4 or Note 5 so this is a deal breaker for me

After using a galaxy tab s2 (8.0 size), I will never go with a display below 6.0 inches. Even 6.0 now seems a bit small. It's really a shame that nor Huawei, nor Samsung would produce a hight end 6.5 phone and 7.0 phone with a decent belt clip case. There is certainly clientele for it.
