I use my phone a lot during the day for e mail , browsing and messaging services and I am very impressed with battery life on the Mate 7 , it was one of the biggest selling points for me .
Don't get me wrong there is no doubting that the quad HD displays on the new Samsung's etc are really nice and great to look at ,but for me I will rather settle for a great 1080 display as on the Mate 7 and not have to worry about battery life . I have had the Nexus 6 and the LG G3 and both devices were great ,but I can honestly say that going from those Quad HD displays down to the Mate 7's 1080 display has made no real difference in my own personal user experience for every day to day use .
The Mate 7 has been a very pleasant surprise in my opinion as I am currently really enjoying it and being able to now keep both my personal and work lines in one device is an absolute pleasure . It is also a very attractive device with a premium build and the Gold actually looks really good .
I just wish they would have launched the accessories with the phone (like covers etc) .
Has anyone noticed that there was no Mobile Data control app active on their device ? I had to download "activity launcher" to find the Mobile Data control portion on the device which allows one to set a limit etc for mobile data use . In the end though I actually downloaded the "My Data Manager" from the play store and have been using this so far . I have found it to be a pretty decent app and performs well .
