No Mocha for US

[badMojo69]

Silly gray (silver) and white is all we get...not even tacky gold?
Meh...now I have to pass, because color matters.

I liked the white- I couldn't find it. I got silver, that's ok. I had that bronze Mate 8, I didn't like it after a while.

 

[badMojo69]

Oh I loved my tacky gold mate 7 and only gave it up because it didn't have LTE.
I can never buy a bland Huawei phone. I would order the international one, but that would be silly.

Got lot of black phones last year so went with the white and looks good for a change from the usual black slabs I had last year.

Why would that be silly?

Is the white available in the US?

 

[badMojo69]

The international one would not have a warranty and there is no guarantee it would receive updates along with it's American cousin. Besides that it cost $200 more just for a different color.

Yes it's available. Black and white are the colors they are offering officially in the US.

Walked into Best Buy and bought one...I'm so full of it.
It's a nice phone...wish it had tap to wake and always on display, but my IPhone doesn't have either of those so no a huge deal.
Dusted off my ZenWatch2 and I'm back in business.

If I keep it past 14 days I'll let you know.

Why would it not get updates? And plenty of 3rd party sellers offer a warranty.

I guess. Non issue now since I got a "gray" one from BestBuy.

 

[badMojo69]

Well...I took it back. Just wasn't good enough for me. Guess I'm waiting for the next Galaxy to come out after all.
I still my LGV10 for my Android fix. For now back to the IP7+.

One thing I did not like was the music when playing out of the ear speaker. It sucks.
And every time I'd rotate the phone with sound playing it would stop and then start up again.

The good thing I loved about the phone was the way blutooth worked in my car. The audio and video were always in sync with each other unlike my IP7+ where the sound lags the video.

Best Buy has it in gray and silver.

Yes that's what I meant by black (gray) and white (silver)

What didn't you like about it?

 

[badMojo69]

What didn't you like about it?

I can't put my finger "no pun intended on it" and maybe that's why I took it back.
It just didn't do it for me. It's not the money and it's not the size. I just wasn't wowed by it like I was when I went from my LGV10 to my 1st galaxy phone last year. And since my LG is still working and I'm not a gamer there was no real good reason for me to buy it in the first place.

Other than that if I had to buy a android phone right now (taking Samsung out of the running) I'd buy this phone over the google phone.
It's a nice phone. Just not a great phone (for me).

 

[badMojo69]

Annnnnd...I just ordered the Mocha one off Ebay. I have issues.
In my defense I do have money burning a hole in my pocket, so I had to spend it on something.

The pause is the phone detecting the change in orientation and changing the stereo effect between the two speakers, you can turn Stereo+ off in the settings so there wouldn't be a pause.

I like the moonlight silver available at BestBuy the most. It is the one I bought. Loving the color.
