No one must buy this phone, first off it launches with Android 12 and not 13. Also no news on when Android 13 can be expected. Phone comes with November 2022 security patch and is only going to get quarterly security patches, if any.

Also in my country where I got this phone there are no 3rd party cover options so you're stuck with the one that came with your phone or you have to import from Chinese sites. Compared to the A73 from Samsung which has Android 13, a better SOC and gets timely updates not to mention is cheaper now.

Overall Honor doesn't care about their midrangers and would advise anyone not to ever buy this phone or any honor phones if you care about any decent software support. Won't ever buy another Honor phone again.

    Anonymous, 02 Mar 2023Iphone 13 and above can use manual mode actuallyLimited manual options only. Samsung and most Chinese manufacturers give you full manual control of all settings; iPhone 13 and above do not.

        I bought this phone one month ago. The biggest drawback so far is the camera. It flickers intensively when taking videos outdoor under bright sun. It seems like flickering at a certain consistent frequency. It flickers too when taking photo. But so far I am still fine with it. Quality of photos is just average. I will check with Honor service centre to find out whether this is a hardware issue. Second drawback is the Snapdragon 665 processor. It is now quick enough for a phone at this standard and pricing.

As someone who has owned a DSLR for ages, l would like to be able to manipulate lighting however I see fit. I can't live without manual modes, which is why I would never purchase an iPhone or a Pixel.

Like I said it is definitely much faster than the SD695, but other than performance there are some areas this phone does better or has more appeal to buyers (e.g. bigger screen).

                  But if people are only looking for best performance for the price, then sure the 6a beats all the midrangers.

The cameras are bad, the soc can't handle most games.

                                    Alpha22, 20 Jan 2023Overpriced for its specs.The budget went to the kunlun glass, since the marketing gimmicks for this phone are its durability. Once that wears off, like using it in a month or two, you'd want to sell it since the cameras are not even competitive, I've seen some shots, most sd 695 phones have the same camera shots, soft images.

                                      Ken, 23 Jan 2023Sad co though it's tough, it's not ip67 or 68. Most marketing ads for this phone show it being dropped, stepped on etc but no water tests. Pretty much self explanatory.

You'll probably get 1 os update, lucky if you get 2. That's how sketchy they are.
