Horrendously high price
Emotion UI still strange
Proprietary UI will not meet everyone's tastes' No waterproofing
Its screen is only full HD and its design is utterly forgettable
Pricier than previous Mate models
Only has Full HD screen
Pro version (China only) is so much nicer
EMUI 5.0 is ultra-strict with app permissions and persistent in notifications
1080p screen
Still cluttered as an interface
Not as striking as some rivals
Battery spec is better than real battery stamina
AAA price
Only 1080p
Likely high price
Not water resistant
Not waterproof Only Full HD display User interface still suffers from idiosyncrasies
