Huawei Mate 7

Yes, but not OTA. Grab the update from the Huawei site and follow instructions. Really easy.

Thanks man, went to the site and it only has the older 4.4 software, can you give me the link?

Also saw that but I just presumed they made a mistake on the specs; there can only be one legit gold edition.

I got my phone and I'm loving it so far. In terms of build quality, it is second to none!

Update it to Lollipop, then it flies.

Updated, and it really does fly!

Has this model been discontinued?
Looking to get one for my dad.

 

[Raithlin]

Still on sale at Telkom Mobile...

Oh, and Huawei is testing Marshmallow for it.

Hope we don't have to wait too long.

I've noticed that Google Play Services shows up at the top on my battery stats. Is this normal?

Sadly, yes. Switch off stuff like Google Now and it improves.

Looking for some feedback from owners of the Mate 7. Is it still epic? Is the battery life as good as suggested?

Anyone have the single SIM one with only 2GB RAM. Is the performance as bad as the reviews would have you believe?
