  • Wish I didn't buy it

    Looks really good at the beginning but after a couple of months' use (4 months or so) I'm already thinking of getting rid of it.

    If you game on your phone (e.g. PUBG, War Robots etc) here are a couple of issues you're going to have:
    1. You will suck at your game because the when you swipe the screen, there's about 5mm lah before it starts responding. So imagine trying to snipe someone in PUBG but can't make small aiming adjustments
    2. The battery life is absolute shit. Run at 20% brightness, running Spotify and GMaps in the car (on Bluetooth for 2 hours drops batt from 100% to 40%. And this was when it was brand new. Obviously also bad for games.
    3. The phone gets really hot. You won't feel it in the first 2-3 months but from month 3 onwards my phone has started cooking my hands when I game. Which is annoying as hell.

    Some other things:
    - display brightness needs to be max in sunlight if you wanna see anything
    - starts to lag and hang at 3 months

    Regret buying it.

    Pros
    • Value for $
    • Clear display
    • Large screen
    Cons
    • Touchscreen lag
    • Battery life
    • Night photo quality
    • Starts lagging and hanging at 3mths
    • Phone overheats

  • Quite nice for daylight photography but not for gaming

    The design for this phone is rather sleek and quite nice on hand, it has pre installed screen guard, and i wonder perhaps there is no real corning glass for the screen
    Few things i like,
    1. Camera is quite nice for daylight photograph
    2. It has manual control for camera so its possible to get the result as you desire
    3. Stable for daily use

    Few things I dont like
    1. Night photography on auto setting is horrible!
    2. No fast charging!
    3. Hybrid sim tray
    4. Not for hi demanding graphic game, even on lowest setting
    5. The finger print scanner too sensitive for dust and some sweat
    6. On prolonged heat use, like gaming the screen will left some screen burn
    7. The bokeh effect is not natural

    This is my first and last of huawei phone

    Great device for everyday use

    The handset is fair in its proposal, accomplishes simple tasks with ease, but sins for not having support for 4.5G and connectivity with 5GHz wifi networks.

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.
