Best mobile with battery sacrifice

This review is for the dual sim version. The phone I need should have dual sim and memory of at least 64 GB (including or without the memory card ). I have tried few flagship android phone and this was the best the only sacrifice with this device is the battery is horrible with heavy use I should charge it at three times a day with moderate it don't last for a full day. I owned a sony Z3 which is my second best phone but the front camera is not great. Huwaei Mate 8 have a good camera but the android version installed is very bad.

I'm not a professional Photographer do not argue with me as I'm one. Photography is just a hobby for that reason I mind for my comfort more that the photo quality.

I have the Huawei Mate 8 and there's nothing wrong with the Android version.

Perhaps you don't like the Huawei launcher, but you can simply install a launcher you like.

The battery life is excellent.

Re: Best mobile with battery sacrifice

I sold the mate 8 for a loss of $100 after one week of use the problem is not only the launcher. My big issue is with the customized notification  I use a program called AZ recorder while recording the control go into the notification center in my G4 to pause or stop with the Huwaei there is no control just something when u tap it stop recording. The mate 8 is great device but not for me if you are happy with it then good luck.
