Kudos to the original 10% off Selected Categories on eBay deal
This is a beast of a phone, currently only sold by Vodafone & Mobileciti in Australia. Full spec list: http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mate_8-7239.php
Don't forget cashrewards!!
wow this ticks all the box (well, my boxes):
minimal 5.7"
NFC (for android pay etc)
band 28 for telstra
good battery
good camera (some website says so so other says good)
I really want to buy this phone, but i need a phone with a physical home button. Using Nexus 6p now, and trust me often when i want to go back my home screen, it is pretty annoying that i have to slide the edge of the phone and then i can see the home button!
for me i agree physical button is good but just for the HOME not the two soft buttons on the side, because sometimes i touch them accidentally.
yeah like iphone.
I assumed most Nexus owners would be using PieControls.
Oh well just bought one from Mobicity for 600 bux last Ebay deal.
Is this one the local stock?
qd_au does not have Australian stock, its grey import and you need to send the items back in Sydney to eBay in case you want to claim warranty.
your mobicity model, is it the same as this one (L09 with band 28)?
Yes
6" screen but pretty much the size of an iPhone Plus.
Likely Mate 9 coming out in two months.
Band 28
6" 1080p IPS
3GB / 32GB
