For the first time in Singapore, there will be three Huawei Mate 10 models available here.

The Huawei Mate 10, Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Huawei Porsche Design Mate 10.

I have been using my Huawei Mate 9 instead of my Nexus 6P ever since I unboxed it.

The UI/UX have been very snappy. It scored 120,794 points on AnTuTu Benchmark whereas the Nexus 6P got 71,576 points. To be fair to the Nexus 6P, the phone has been out for almost a year.

The Huawei Mate 9 comes in a square brown box printed with soy ink.

It is made in China. To be precise, it is made in Shenzhen, China.

Huawei Mate 9 will be available in Singapore from Saturday, 19th November 2016.

Huawei Mate 9 comes with only one storage capacity which is 64GB and it will retail for S$898 in Singapore.

Just to recap on my previous post about Nexus 6P availability & price in Singapore, the Nexus 6P is brought in by Huawei through Convergent Systems.

Only the 64GB and 128GB model will be available in Singapore. And each of the model will be available in two colors, Graphite and Aluminium.

Huawei will begin its Nexus 6P pre-order in Singapore on 2nd November 2015 till 11th November 2015 on Lazada.

The expected delivery date on the first batch of pre-orders are expected to be on 16th or 17th November 2015.

I was using the Huawei MiFi E585 which I bought 4 years ago till the battery life decided to give up on me. The battery will go flat after about an hour of usage. On top of that I am spoilt with 4G because the 3G speed is way too slow in Singapore, due to bandwidth congestion.

I wanted to get a 4G mobile wi-fi modem last year but it was still pretty expensive, but this year it seems the prices has drop quite a bit. I bought the Huawei E5372 4G Mobile Wi-Fi Modem from a reseller (romz1983) in HardwareZone Forums for S$230. If you are interested in getting it, check out the forum thread, WTS: Great MIFI sale from $90 Huawei E589 E5776 E5331 E5220 E5151 ZTE MF60 Wifi Router. He offers other models as well.

Went to StarHub Shop at VivoCity on the 24th June 2011 to apply for MaxOnline Infinity which is Starhub fibre Internet service. I chose the MaxInfinity Elite plan which has a download speed of 150Mbps, upload speed of 75Mbps and international speed of 15Mbps. It cost S$82.18 per month for a 2 year contract.

They did not tell me when they are coming to set up the fiber Internet service. I waited a month and they called me on the 3rd week of July 2011 saying they will come on 26th July 2011 to install the service.

Bought the Huawei MiFi E585 for S$185 from Amos of Hardware Zone Forums. It is a mobile router that makes use of your SIM card to connect to the Internet and the router itself supports 5 devices simultaneously.

It is similar to any 3G Modems but instead of only allowing one device (normally only computer) to use it via USB port, the MiFi allows up to 5 devices as long as the device have WiFi support which most if not all of the smartphones these days do. The MiFi is essentially a mobile router and hence it is capable of basic router functions such as DMZ, DHCP, SSID configuration, etc. You can configure those options using the router’s web-based interface (192.168.1.1) and the interface is mobile friendly as well. The E585 also comes with a MicroSD slot that you can use it as a shared storage for all the connected devices.
