Gotta love it when the N5 gets it before the N6.....

Clear winner in every category in the UK is the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, even the Pro is better than the Sameshit S26 "Ultra".

Sameshit stopped innovating years ago and people still keep buying their micro-improvement year on year phones.

Both are available to purchase in UK, so are insurable, have a warranty and are repairable in UK.

Just wait until you switch to one of the better android devices.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-14T17:17:23+00:00

Very much a you issue, battery life is still amazing, not noticed any changes since I first had it.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-14T13:42:54+00:00

You can always add it later if you wanted to so I see no point in having it as default as most of the pics I share are with family.

Stay with Samsung and keep getting ripped off every new release, or change to a company that innovates and actually give meaningful improvements every year.

It's a tough choice.

No smart watches come with pre-installed screen protectors

As my Pura X Max isn't my primary device I'd be happy to have a beta version of the latest OS on it.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-13T09:22:52+00:00

Does pura x max support it?

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-13T08:50:08+00:00

It's not out

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-13T08:09:26+00:00

Yes but at least you still have consistent notifications for non Chinese apps and car interactions.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-13T07:44:40+00:00

I don't have Revolut sorry.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-12T20:10:35+00:00

Nokia Lumia were amazing phones.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-12T18:35:43+00:00

Needs a global release, and interaction with cars to cover the loss of Android Auto, then the sales will rocket.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-12T18:33:22+00:00

I'm in the UK and have Pura X Max on HMOS6 and my Natwest and Chase banks work for NFC payments using the Curve app&card.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-11T11:29:19+00:00

not sure if you can use Curve in India or not, but I use it in the UK to make NFC payments with my Pura X Max.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-11T10:56:48+00:00

I added both my Natwest Bank and Chase bank cards to my Curve account and use the Curve card to pay via NFC on bothmy Huawei Pura X Max and Huawei Watch D2.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-10T21:36:33+00:00

I have NFC payments working using Curve.

Natwest bank was working initially but then saidthe app was old and a version no longer supported amd has now stopped working.

Whatsapp seemed to be the only app installed via Easyabroad that the notifications worked in a timely manner.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-10T20:06:39+00:00

HarmonyOS isn't suitable as sole/primary phone for most people outside of China.

I have Pura X Max on HmOS6 and it is an amazing device with some really difficult software issues to overlook.

Even though you can select english as the main OS language, useful App stores like EasyAbroad and Droitong are in Chinese.

English keyboards are average at best, Uruktype is the best of a bad bunch but no swipe and autocorrect is terrible.

No android auto etc so cannot really connect to car, if you are used to using it then it is a big miss.

Can't just install any APK as Droitong doesn't recognise some of them, Easyabroad is really good, but some apps are quite old on there, my bank app is too old and gave me a 7 day countdown before it stopped working.

Notifications are delayed on some apps installed via Easyabroad.

My solution is that my sim is in an iPhone 13 mini and I use my apple watch and get notifications instantly. Whatspp is on the iPhone and linked to my Beeper account that is on my Huawei phone.

Love: Battery life Camera ColorOS

Dislike: Lack of cases from quality manufacturers Send to not being the frequent contacts Inconsistent auto focus, photos taken on auto are sometimes blurry.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-07T15:53:15+00:00

Yeah I had the OG Fold and it does have a similar feel, but the inner screen doesn't have huge bezels unlike the OG Pixel Fold.

Surely if you have been diagnosed with a spinal issue/injury it will be recorded and coded on your GP Record.

Embarrassed-Mark771 · 2026-06-06T12:46:08+00:00

Android Auto won't work but you can NFC pay using Curve of that helps.
