> 3 dayI needed to upgrade from my 16GB iPhone 6s for space and just couldnt rationalize the cost of even upgrading to a used iPhone 8. I was nervous to switch to Android, so I certainly didnt want a cheap phone to be the cause of my frustration, but the whole point of switching was to save money. This phones specs blew the same-price competitors away and was within my price range. So far Im very happy with it (1 month). Speedy, good looking, responsive... really no complaints as far as not doing what I need versus my iPhone. I connect to my car via an external bluetooth, attaching my phone to a mounted magnet for use (I have an older vehicle that doesnt have built-in bluetooth and screen). I only stream music (never use the cars radio/cd player) and I use maps frequently... everything has worked flawlessly. Phone calls have been clear using the phones headset, speaker and bluetooth. Quality check with friends: everyone says I sound just as clear as I did on my iPhone in all scenarios. Ive had no dropped calls and 4G works fine on AT&T. Signal isnt as great in my house (1-2 bars), but my calls have still been perfect. Battery lasts twice as long as my iPhone (and I replaced the battery on it a few months ago, getting the same battery life as I did when new). I can easily get a full day, play white noise overnight, and get through most of a second day. Charging is super fast. I think my biggest concern was the camera, and there are definitely pros and cons. Huawei gets grainy quicker in low light situations vs iPhone, BUT it also does a better job making low light pics look brighter. Pics that simply wouldnt turn out on the iPhone will turn out on Huawei, although grainy. In better light, pics are very similar. Huawei also has a lot of cool picture options that the iPhone didnt have, so overall Im happy with it. I think I actually like the video quality better on Huawei, especially screen resolution. I get a much wider shot. Videos are very sharp with bright colors and clear sound. Regarding Android: Huawei includes a number of apps of their own that cant be deleted, but I think its pretty minimal as far as bloatware goes. I got Nova Launcher from the Play Store, so my home screen is totally customized... which has gotten me hooked on Android now! For anyone else switching from iPhone, this is a must! You can choose custom icons for your apps, double up apps (I have my camera app, but then I just slide up on the app to open my photo viewer instead of having that app on the screen; same with FB and Messenger - tap or slide one icon, the two communication apps my kids teachers use, etc). This seriously reduces clutter! The widgets are super awesome too. I have my music streaming set up as a widget and can control most of it through the home screen now. I also have weather and time (larger print is much easier to use than the little clock on the top, and I can tap on the time to open the timer and the weather to open my weather app). My messaging app is also set up as a widget so I can see my most recent texts at a glance. You can also create rapid dial widgets, so I have 2 groups with custom icons for most common friends and family, so I rarely have to use my dialers contact list or navigate to favorites now. The downside to Android, though, is that all the stuff that comes standard on Apple isnt standard... so many dialer, voicemail, messaging, and keyboard apps, and the crappy ones are useless and full of ads. Its a total time-suck finding what works! To possibly save you some time: I use the Huawei dialer and Visual Voicemail (customize to open when I swipe up on the dialer app). I use Pulse for messaging - it works flawlessly and syncs on multiple devices (I loved using iMessage on my Mac and had no issues migrating to Pulse), plus it is super reasonably priced unlike others that want $80/year subscriptions... might as well get an iPhone at that rate! I liked Digital Clock Xperia as my time, date and weather widget. SwiftKey Keyboard is my favorite, although I dont think its quite as intuitive as Apple, but has other customization options that balance it out. Definitely order a new case - the clear one that comes with it if cheap. Itll prevent scratches, but I doubt theres any shock absorption in falls. The choices were limited when I purchased this because its a new model, but I went with Spigen Rugged Armor. I also ordered a 3 pack of 6 type c cables. The Supershieldz screen protector didnt work (air gap around the edges and loosened after a few weeks, effecting touch screen sensitivity, but at that point peeled off very easily).

> 3 dayThe phone is really nice yet the camera moves choppy in front facing camera and the speaker is weak, other than that it’s a real nice phone.

> 3 dayLets just say the color (blue) functions and features of this phone I really like. It holds charge, face recognition and finger print sensor is really good. One of the best features of the phone is the Private Space.

> 3 dayThis phone is amazing! I love how responsive it is, the picture quality is spectacular and it’s compact enough to not take up a lot of space in my purse of brief case. I bought the rose gold color andit beautiful sleek and just rhebriggt size. The phone has several features I haven’t even begun to use but I am in the U.S. running it on Cricket wireless seamlessly. I simply inserted my microcard from my previous phone into this one, turned it off and on, and I was up and running without issues. For some reason my hotspot would not work initially - I later learned it is a ATT thing (the parent company of Cricket) so I found a YouTube hack and it works beautifully now. This is a great little phone with a ton of function and very little lag time.

> 3 dayGood phones got cheap and cheap phones became good. This direcly applies to this device. Where this phone really shines is battery life. Ive easily got 6 hours of screen on time and had 25% left at end of the day, that included no wifi usage and low signal locations. Phone is very snappy and rarely there are any slowdowns. Good camera, plenty of space, works well with Metro/Tmobile. I highly recommend this phone. Phone comes with transparent case. Its hard to beat this value at less than $250. I would also suggest looking into xiaomi mi a3, it might offer a little bit more for the money since its just came out. (at time of writing this review)

> 3 dayI received my order on the second day, it would have been same day, but we were having storms that day and second day was fine as I wouldnt have wanted my order getting wet. I am very pleased with my order it was a gift and the person is very happy in all areas. Great service all around. The phone is an upgrade, it is so much more than the person was used to. After checking out the phone I ordered one for myself and I am very pleased, this is the fourth Huawei phone I have bought. I get good reception on AT&T.

> 3 dayThis is my second Huawei phone I bought. So for all you first timer and a bit skeptical, I can understand your thoughts initially. But let me assure you this phone is excellent!!! I have used Samsung phones, iPhone and Huawei phones. I can tell you it works the same and at times surpasses the others. It doesnt get hot during recharging like the other two. Life of battery is EXCELLENT. Camera resolution, on par as those of the other two cell phone brand. I really cannot find any drawback in this phone. You may need a little time to get adjusted to the operating software, but it is still Android based and it should take no time to get adjusted. And to be quite honest, in terms of internet usage, Huawei surpasses the other two brand. Its more reliable and faster. The best part is, the price is unbeatable!!! In todays age where cell phones are becoming standard commodity, there is no need to spend USD 1K for a cell phone. This Huawei will do the job just fine. Plus more for a few hundred bucks!!! CANT BEAT THIS DEAL!!!

> 3 dayIs a great phone, for example I charge every night and the next night I have 30% in apps like Instagram, youtube, mail, messaging, calls and other apps. The material quality is good and is very slim. The only bad thing is the sound and the face ID.
