Just wondered if anyone has any info on when we can expect the P9+ to hit the stores in the EU? I keep asking local vendors but they don't seem to have any information yet. Holding out for the P9+ as I reckon it'll be worth it over the P9, but I'm so desperate for a new phone I may cave and get the P9 instead!
I was in the Shanghai store today and maybe this weekend here in china. Apr 30-May 1 Probably won't hit Europe for another couple weeks. I already prepaid but I don't know where I am in the queue. If not they told me next batch here is a few weeks after that. I'll see if I can get it.. ??.

The lack of information is starting to annoy me now. If I could get the 64Gb version of the P9 I'd opt for that, but the UK seems only to be getting the 32Gb version and I'm reluctant to go down the grey import route.
Between 10 and 20 may, in that time V8 gets announced.

I hope so, I saw 20th May mentioned at the time of release. I can certainly wait that long, just hope it pops up websites for pre-order sooner rather than later!
Got the phone on April 30th Chinese 128Gb version. The chinese 64Gb version doesn't have the pressure touch feature. 128Gb was 4388rmb. Installed all gapps once I got home just fine.

Hello.
I am from Germany. My Huawei P9 plus was sent to me today. It will arrive tomorrow or next week at Tuesday.
So here in Germany you can buy it. Price: 661 Euro.
I had P9 for 2 days and Mate 8 for 2 month. The P9 was too small. But the camera was so excellent that I decided to buy the P9 plus. I hope this was a good decision ?
Sorry for my bad English. I hope you can understand me.

No, not locked. Maybe O2 Firmware. I will get it today an can report later.
Hello.
Handy arrived a few hours ago. I'm really fascinated about this device. Feels much faster than Mate 8.
No O2 firmware. Everything original Huawei.
Double speaker are not as expected. The single speaker in Mate 8 is way better. Camera is fantastic. Display is very nice.
What do you want to know else?

Okay, sorry to keep going on about it, it's just that I believe the phones that O2 sell in the UK are locked to their network. I'll take a look at ordering one from Germany! Thanks!
No, no!!! It is ok. Some years ago it was almost the same in Germany. The handys from O2 always had firmware from O2. But now you will become unbranded hardware. There is no branding at all.
---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------
What maybe will be interesting for people who are interested in buying a P9 plus: the notifications LED is NOT included in the speaker like P9 where you almost can't see it. The LED is extra on the left side next to the front camera. That is positive.
Or wait for the OnePlus 4?
Btw first
Already have op3, will skip this and buy the 4
I already have the Oneplus 3 but i think that if Oneplus 3T has a larger battery, i make the change
I've waited 4 weeks for my +3 to finnaly arrive yesterday, only to find out after 6 months a newer version is alreadycomming. I'll probably use my option to refund this version and for just 80$ more buy the newer version.
I've had the OP3 for 3+ months so I won't be getting the 3T. I'll just get the OP4 or probably the next Google phone.
If you already have a OP3 then do not rush into buying this one immediately even though it has good specs. Wait until OP 4 comes out. Compare specs/price. And then make a choice.
No, because my OP3 arrived on October 29th, making November 13th the last day I could return it for a refund...which is two days before the OP3T announcement. ಠ_ಠ
I was thinking of buying OP3 this thanksgiving so I guess i will take a look at the specs and if all looks good, i will go ahead and buy it.
I have OnePlus 3 since mid-October, so nope, I'm not going to buy 3T.
P.S. I'm very disappointing about company decision make and sell new flagship in several month after announcing OP3. I hope they will support OP3.
P.P.S Has anyone seen information about OnePlus Pixel?

It's a OnePlus 3 with the build.prop changed for Google Assistant work on that phone.
I've got a OP3 on order, due to be despatched on the 15th. I'm naïvely hoping they upgrade us for free, or at least give the option to upgrade without having to wait another 3 weeks
after hearing this news i hate those whole one plus team, and i will never bought oneplus product again...
No SD card slot, no way. LG V20 with microsd and removable battery.
I actually prefer autumn/winter release after new Android is out and everything. Hope they continue this trend.

After much deliberation - I've ordered my Mate 10 6GB/128GB. (5th Nov) :laugh:
I hesitated as it's a lot of money - but I've ordered it from Giztop where it was £615+£22 DHL. However, if you signup to their newsletter, you get a discount code of 2%. So full price with postage is £624.99 or $842.41 (although Google tells me this is more like £643)
Giztop don't rebrand, but they appear to install Google services.
Should I want to rebrand - and I probably will, getting the bootloader code from Huawei looks fairly straightforward and then I can use FunkyHuawei's method to rebrand to Asia as I have a couple credits to use.
I'll update when I get the tracking number and when the phone hits my hands. Plus if I encounter any f**king import fees, but Giztop state they declare low value to avoid this.

You used Giztop before? How do you rate them? Are they like Amazon and aliexpress? I might get the pro too as its better on battery it seems. Have the one you're getting already. Bought from wonda mobile. Next day delivered from Hong Kong! Next.... Day!

Never used Giztop before. Someone else here did and got no issues. Paid via Paypal for the protection offered. They're not like Amazon or Aliexpress. More like Wonda. But they were significantly cheaper than Wonda.
I'm not interested in the Pro as it doesn't have the 2K screen which I like to use with Daydream.
I received a tracking number this morning. So that's less than a couple days.
I just ordered the pro blue 6gb/128gb from giztop on Friday. I'm not expecting to get it for a couple of weeks seeing how it's not out yet even though they emailed me stating they might send it this week and their website states it is in stock which is the reason I originally bought from them.
does anyone know, is it possible to buy ALP-AL100 Mate 10 6/128 in Taiwan? in offline shop
or does not make sense inasmuch as online with global shipping will be cheaper anyway?
Right, so I have the Mate 10 in my hands and have had for about 14 hours.
Phone ordered 5th Nov and I had TNT tracking on the 7th. Phone arrived on 10th in the UK. Giztop marked it as worth $58. So no customs charges.
Big surprise? Already running L29 C636!!
Checked for update and got 115 straight away OTA.
So impressed with Giztop there. I was dubious after a couple poor reviews I found and what seemed to be no response to emails. Then they did.
You get the same package as Wonda, but for cheaper
Comes with a well fitted gel case. Mate 9 Pro came with an ill fitting plastic one that allowed grit inside and scratched the back of it
As for the Mate 10. Nice bit of kit. Not sure the screen is as nice as my Mate 9 Pro. Still finding my way around Emui 8, which is a little different to 5. My Tesco banking app doesn't work. Tells me not compatible with this device.
Mate 9 Pro also had the ability to turn on a general dark theme in battery settings. Not available here, maybe only Pro models.
No separate SD card holder. Dual SIM or single and SD card.
Can't get the single home button navigation to work very well, so using on screen buttons, which, for a screen this size, doesn't matter
No crashing, very stable.
Not tried the cameras yet, but they're virtually the same as Mate 9 Pro anyway.
Will be interested to link to a monitor.

Surprised about the single home button not working so well for you. Others have mentioned it as a key difference between the pro and non-pro version. Franky it was one of the big reasons why I was leaning towards the non pro version.
What's been the problem for you?
Thanks.
Great that they rebranded yours. Mine came in with 00 with GP installed. Took a bit to hide all the Chinese stuff. IMO desktop mode is pretty good. Not I7 gtx 970 good but beats the hell out of Dex. I'm still on 113 and reception is a little weak. If no update in a month will see Funky. How are you liking yours so far? That K970 pretty fast isn't it.

Did you use Funky Huawei method to rebrand? I do have my bootloader unlock code.
Kid dropped her Toy house on my 2 weeks old Mate 10 the screen cracked and the display is partially blank. Already checked with main Huawei service center over phone, the part is available and in-stock. The Phone has One time free screen or back cover replacement with in 3 months as part of 1 year warranty. Am going to service center later today to check for eligibility failing which, I need to shell out roughly us$ 140 for screen part and labor charges. Will keep everyone updated about the Huawei Manila Philippines service Center experience.
Currently am back on my Oneplus 3T and hating the small sized screen and Camera compared to the Mate 10.

Thank you for your kind words.
Sorry about the delay in updating the status. Huawei honored their one time screen / backcover replacement with out any drama, no questions asked!
They replaced the screen/battery/entire casing/Vibration motor/earpiece/charging port!
I think they just swapped the motherboard plus cameras on to the new frame with all existing parts
I held and checked the replaced parts (in pictures) I didn't expect them to replace so many things for ease of replacement.
No Labor charges or hidden charges of any sort, all Zero charge!
All under 2 hours!
I had to go the main Huawei service center outside of Greenhills in Manila for this.
Thank you Huawei, now the Mate 10 is back to it's original mint condition! Loving it
:good:
great to hear that Huawei Philippines is doing a great job on this. I myself is also from the Philippines and this update gave me more confidence with the brand.

Great to meet another Mate 10 user in Philippines. The One time Screen or back cover replacement in Philippines is applicable to Mate 10/ Mate 10 pro for first 3 months from date of purchase only. After that regular warranty applies.
Over all, big thumbs up to Huawei Philippines!
so far i've seen it being sold in a fishy uk online store, which i'd rather not buy from, and romanian and polish stores, which i don't have access to.
chinese online stores shipment takes ages so i'd rather skip those too.
how is it possible to be notified about it becoming available (actually in stock) in new stores in the uk and in around europe? is it predicted to happen soon or it might take a while?
I suggest that you wait for amazon.it , amazon.es. If you have friends in France they can buy it in eLeclerc on 27.8.

Yeah I live chatted gear best, they actually get their stock on the 31st. And it'll take 1-2 days to process, and then 7-10 days to ship. They offered me a refund or an exchange instead but I said I'd just wait. So it'll probably be another week until I get it. But as soon as I do I'll post.

USA. So far, it's pretty good, but basically a Mi A1 with a better camera and 18:9 screen.
I have it since yesterday. Love it, I get a nexus feeling with stock android an such good overall speed.
i ordered one waiting for shipment , I read many negative reviews so kinda ruined my excitement for it =( How is the battery. I ordered the 6gb version, do you thinks it's worth over the 4GB?
