Used the phone for about 2-3 weeks.
For the money this phone is incredible.
The thin bezel, very small chin+forhead and no notch make the screen seem extra massive.
No NFC is a bummer but I can live with that.
The only real drawback is no rapid charging, however the 4000mah battery means you will always make it through the day so it's not a deal breaker. Used the phone for about 2-3 weeks.

When I researched this phone popular sites like GSM Arena listed it as being dual band WiFi (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz). After buying the phone I found that the model in New Zealand only has 2.4Ghz. I wouldn't have bought the phone if I new the New Zealand variant only supported 2.4Ghz.

This also makes me wonder what other hardware specificatoins are different.

I guess the first warning should have been when I turned the phone on and the initial setup ran, and New Zealand isn't even listed as a region to select.

My next problem is I used Google maps a lot. At low speed the compass is used to help determine your direction.

My next problem is I used Google maps a lot. At low speed the compass is used to help determine your direction. The compass in this phone is unusably poor. Without moving the phone, and having it sit on a desk, I have had it North move up to 261 degrees!

On the plus side the camera is great and it has lots of storage space.

Fantastic camera, battery life is great and charges very quickly. Perfect size for me. Great price had it for close to a month.
Only fault is that its a 2.5 kHz and doesn't have the 5 kHz as said it would, as well as a lot of apps to get your head around that come with it, that I've never used/heard of before. (not so much a con as something I need to get my head around) Fantastic camera, battery life is great and charges very quickly. Perfect size for me. Great price had it for close to a month.

Excellent phone for the price. I have had it for about a month now. Fast and has a great battery life. Pop up camera is pretty cool.

Easily the best smartphone for the price, especially for the price I paid (First released special). Has most of the features seen in flagship phones like a 1080p screen (iPhone 11 has a 720p screen), good cameras (Needs a bit of tuning for max performance), great battery (4000mah), small bezels, a headphone jack,, 128gb storage! (64gb seen on over $1000 phones) and more. The CPU and GPU is sufficient and runs triple A mobile games well and is quick and snappy.

No notch, small bezels etc makes this phone look outstanding and attracts compliments and questions about how much the phone costs and every time you reply, it blows their mind.

100% Recommended, no complaints.

Very fast charging. Easy to use and follow, for a Huawei first time user like myself. Phone comes complete with a back cover which is great! Very nice phone. Very fast charging.

I bought this phone for my daughter as an upgrade, she is loving it, far better to what she had, she loves the pop up selfie camera, takes good photos, she hasn't complained if anything so I guess all is good.
I would recommend it, good phone for a good price. I bought this phone for my daughter as an upgrade, she is loving it, far better to what she had, she loves the pop up selfie camera, takes good photos, she hasn't complained if anything so I guess all is good.

Simply great phone that performs beyond its price bracket. Simply great phone that performs beyond its price bracket.

Decent phone, great battery. No face recognition only finger print scanner, but what do expect for the price. Decent phone, great battery. No face recognition only finger print scanner, but what do expect for the price.

If you're looking for a new phone in 2021, keep looking. I've had this phone since late 2019, and while it was superb in its prime time now its no longer worth it. The battery is getting harder and harder to charge to full, taking a very long time. The device is a stuttery mess with a lot of newer apps, and the lack of update/support only seals its fate. The camera is still good, though the pop up front cam has a weird whine when moving. Other features of the phone are still working fine, but as a whole not a recommended product in 2021.

I bought this phone a couple of weeks ago on special and for what I wanted it for - watching videos on my daily bus commute - it's brilliant. Not too big, not too small, great resolution, loads of storage. I found the Huawei video app rubbish so put VLC on it and it's great. I don't take selfies so can't comment on that and I have a camera for anything I want to try and photograph reasonably well but I've taken a few pics on it and they've been great - more than good enough for me.

Great battery life, charges fast, paired easily with my headphones. the only downsides - bit of a lengthy set up to wade through with a whole bunch of crap I had no need for and there don't seem to be many decent cases available for it in NZ (thinking otterbox, life, armor-x) as unfortunately I don't have a good track record with phones so need something sturdy :-/ But once the setups done it's done and I'll get a screen protector for it so hopefully won't have to buy a replacement any time soon! And as I say, for what I wanted it's brilliant and excellent value for money - I'd definitely recommend it if you're like me and just wanted something not too expensive, a reasonable size for watching videos with great resolution and and a decent battery life - for that it's pretty much perfect!

This is an excellent phone for the price. The features are great. This is an excellent phone for the price. The features are great.
