Ive not posted before on HUKD but wanted to on this as I've has this phone since launch and this might help someone buy or not buy.
Pros -
Massive screen, very clear image, fast charge with USB-C (this really is a sh*t, shower and shave charger, it charges from empty to pretty much full in an hour or so), good camera, front facing speakers, finger print scanner, stock android so no bloatware, updates 1st from Google as its a Nexus device, price (under £400 for a phone of this calibre is a great deal).
Cons -
Build quality: yeah youre going to want the best screen cover and case you can get unless you don't mind scratches all over your massive screen and shiny metal body, oh and the little chips and dinks to the sides as well. The gorilla glass is not brilliant and the phone is big so in and out of pocket use will scratch it easily.
Reparability: Your average phone shop is not fixing any screen issues, reviewed as 2/10 for ease of fixing, check the interweb for reviews and videos on replacing a screen it is crazy, this is not an easy phone to fix unless willing to send back. A new screen is £150+ with local shops and over £200+ with Huawei.
Bugs: You get the latest version of android yes but be prepared to also be testers, so far I've had the battery issue with a security fix (phone not going into sleep mode when not in use and battery drain V quickly) and a number of other small issues with functionality and battery.
USB-C: This is a blessing and a curse, it is great but forget your own charger and noone you know can help as noone has this yet.
No additional storage: You need to use cloud storage a lot and I have the 32gb version, I'd say go bigger but it costs more.
sorry for war and peace, hope someone found this useful.

I got the Huawei Mate 8. I think a better phone especially battery life.

Where did you get the Mate 8? Can't decide between Mate 8, wait for P9 Plus and now the 6P at this price
