How many different Huawei devices have you owned?

[mlee1999]

The Honor Magic intrigued me too!

Not many in the states but still keep my eye open. Lol

Thanks, yeah I'm a fan of phones not from the big three. I like carrying unique devices. Just hit or miss if they have LTE on TMobile but love no carrier and bloat.

Using a bright blue Mi6 I got from buddy worldspy.

Absolutely - I couldn't agree with you more! I love unique devices as well.

Huawei is the third largest or second largest smartphone maker in the world, depending on the data you are using

The Mate 9 is my first Huawei device. The past three phones I've had were LG flagships (G3, G4, & V10). So far I am loving my Mate 9!

Honor 8 was my first encounter with the company—not a big fan afterwards.

I was a huge fan after owning the Honor 8. I never heard of Huawei till just a month before buying my Honor 8.

Nice lineup of LG phones you got, there! I too had the G3. I really liked it.

I have owned none. My wife owned a flip phone in 2005.

You can consider yourselves being lucky.

What has changed your mind?

Simply cause of the price of the performance with amazing camera. After owning one, I don't need another $600+ phone to do what I do on phones.

I agree with you. It's really hard to pay premium prices when you know a device can perform the job just as well for a fraction of the cost.

The slow updates and customer service is the biggest drawback of these phones. If those aren't important to you then I would definitely get one.

I haven't had to deal with their customer service (yet!); so I am admittedly a little worried about crossing that bridge if something happens.

Lack of water resistance can be confidently added to the list of significant drawbacks. Their big hits, such as Mate 9, Honors 8 and 6X, have None.

Significant drawback? No. But it'll be nice to have. Mate 10 will get it. Even my LG G6 has one, and I still don't like it getting wet.

The monthly security updates are indeed slow and probably won't get every update. But they seem to release the major update faster than Samsung. At least with the Nougat update.
