  • Good phone with a weak battery

    I have this phone since November 2015. Still running great. Bought it for 650 euros and for this price you expect the best. HW quality of the phone is great. Lacking 5 GHZ Wifi though. Good photo quality in daylight. What is sad about this phone is SW support by Huawei. Nearly no update during first year of use and nothing during second year of use. Will continue to use it till it stop working but not sure I will buy another Huawei because of their poor SW support.

    Pros

    It is a high-end smartphone with the best finishes and a beautiful design.

    It is a high-end smartphone with the best finishes and a beautiful design. I note your fingerprint reader, makes it very comfortable and safe everyday use, it is the first fingerprint reader to use on a cell phone and is the fastest in the market. It was updated in April 2016 to 6 Marsmallow Android. I love your SuperAMOLED screen. The cameras work very well if it is true they are not the best on the market but met. It is very fluid

    Pros
    • Design
    • FullHD screen Super Amoled 5.5
    • Lightweight
    • pretty good cameras with professional way
    • Recently upgraded to Android 6M
    • Fingerprint reader (the fastest I tried)
    Cons

Ki Cost-effective
Score
Not available
What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
