Pros:
1- it looks beautiful (subjective)
2- probably the thinnest bezels you can get at this price

cons:
Camera is pretty bad, both front and back, rear camera has okay resolution but you need to hold it very steady to get a good picture

Performance:
Its okay, stutters here and there but its mostly a smooth experience
Light gaming is good, moderate gaming OK with low graphics, bad for high end games (will drop frames)
upgrades to android 14, probably maxes out here
microphone good, speakers solid

Battery:
Generally alright, will last the day, maybe 2 if light use, charges decently fast (25 w)

overall, the best thing about this phone (and honor in general) is they make thin bezels, and nothing else, you can get better specs in just about every other device, look into xiaomi, motorela, infinix, maybe vivo, realme and oppo if you want better specs

      This truly is a horrible device.
      Lags all the time, battery drain is worse thn a phone from 2010. Nobody would buy it from me (selling for 100...)

        Horrible camera, worse than 2010s highend phones
        Apps randomly freeze, need to force close, restart
        Laggy
        Honor huawei chinese spying cannot be completely turned off

        I wanted to return it, but merchant said they can only send it to repair as grace period is over. They said lots of customers are in my shoes.

        Tried selling it for 100 dollars, nobody would reply except for bots.

        Worst phone purchase I made in my life.

          Tom209, 15 Apr 2023Probably because it's overpriced and under specced. ... moreSo using the G99 chip with a 10% above this chip for a huge price is? Sure the Ram speed is doubled and Gpu is above this by 300 "1000 vs 1300" and 6nm chip is good for battery but for the same price you can get Mediatek Dimensity or Snapdragon

          Phones with G99 are way to overpriced for what it can do

            Anonymous, 11 Apr 2023Surprised by all the positive reviews. I got the phone last... moreIs all about optimization G88 is a good chip with 8+256 even 6+128 on Realme C55

            Yes the battery drain in 10 hours from 0 to 100 but you can charge in 1 hour max compared to other phones with the same chip

            If november 2023 august 2024 update is ignored will last for many years or less if you wont charge from 20% to 80% and only to 100% twice a week

                        No updates at all since July 2023. Last security patch is July 2023.
                        Still on Android 12.

                        Honor = very bad software support.

                                    Tom209, 20 Sep 2023The G88 is a 4G chipset. It doesn't have 5G capabilitybetter for your health

                                      Unfortunately it doesn't have memory card slot which is important for me.
