Nobody should ask this much for a phone but to do it with that SoC is very amusing. The faked pixels in Pentile are not so funny. They got greedy this year, hey were a lot more competitive last year. Waiting to see the consequences in their sales numbers next year. It's funny how soon after the right trajectory is found,,the strategy changes and it all goes wrong. Quite nice otherwise, bellow average body for 5.5 inch, solid design, too bad that screen is a lie and the price 3 times too high.
Golly ... is there a website or blog were we can go to learn everything there is to know about all the phones that you've never seen, have absolutely no credible 1st hand knowledge of & about which you want to make brash unsupported claims?
Because we can all use a really good source for solidly reliable FUD.
As overly critical as he was he is right the price is note 5 territory and this phone is straight inferior to the note 5. Worse screen, worse camera (not guaranteed but most likely) and worse processor and gpu, I don't see why anyone would buy this unless the euro price is 1:1 with the usd price and even then the nexus 6 seems like a better buy.
Nothing. Apple did not invent force touch. They introduced it on their watch and Huawei on their smartphone. It's not exclusive tech. Presumably Apple's rumored iphone implementation will add haptic feedback.
I'm pretty sure "Force Touch" is an Apple trademark, though. At least it's been a long time since I've seen a flagship feature from apple without a trademarked name. Huawei will probably have to find a new way of branding this.
So if you don't get forcetouch, you'll be paying 650 euros for a phone that is barely better than a Lenovo K3, which can be had for 150 via importing from China and then rooted(like I did)?
Permit me to add a little perspective for US Consumers. $649 Euros = $727 US Dollars. This for a 32Gb device. Is there any reason I can expect this device to perform better than any gently used 32GB SnapDragon 600/800 Device that I can purchase on Ebay for < $200 usd? Just adding perspective folks.
No but for the external looks only. I guess there are people attracted to the form as they keep producing similar designs and materials with higher prices. As you have said, most SoCs are not a significant upgrade from the 800 except those from the 14nm node which are significantly faster while uses less power.

"$649 Euros" looks a bit weird to me ;)By the way, don't forget that price conversions between EU and NA are usually 1$ <=> 1€.
Still, this thing looks way too expensive.

Wonder if the power consumption is the crappy modem used. I know on my old mediatek phone the modem used a ton of battery.Anju78 - Thursday, August 23, 2018 - link
