Two major disadvantages of the phone was overpricing and Huawei... So second is temporary but the price is not. For below 300 bucks i recommend it strongly.

    got this phone for 260eur on Vodafone Shop.

    i am a photographer and had an asus zenfone 3 laser. brilliant camera for photography, though now with this phone i'm just blown away... if you know how to use the camera and all the "pro" mode stuff, it can produce insane results. the AI was something i was joking about at the beginning, but actually it's really cool! i even use it most of the time!

    performance is great. battery insane. i'm in love.

    thx for being the best website about smartphones!

      To me camera takes very nice color images. Only night photis are bad. On day light is excellent. Great details and pleasing, punch colors with great dynamic range. Video also only 1080p but for me is better than 4k without stabilization. Thats for camera. 7.5/10 in its class.
      Performance also not bad. Around 140000 on antutu. Feel enough smoothin every day use. No complaints.
      For battery life many bfor me sayed. No need to comment... Dope.
      Display... Here I'm 50/50. Overall is good screen. Bright enough. Good colours. Big and pleasure to watch videos on it. But... Idk why is that dim issue on some apps. Not on every, but on some have slightly dimming. Not a huge issue but visible.
      OS... Emui. Not preferred one but... Hope Huawei put ipdates regular at least.
      I also buy it for around 300$ so for that money is a go phone. Have things for improvement but who didn't?

        Hi.

        This is actually pretty damm good!

        I understand it was a bit overpriced at lunch (around of 400 USD). But as a common trend in Huawei P and Mate lites, their prices goes down for around 100 USD couple months after release.

        Just bought mine 5 days ago at 300 USD!. And I gotta say, im extremely satisfied with this phone.

        - Kirin 710 its such a big improvement (although kinda behind SD 710) over Kirin 659 which was an average SOC (with just Cortex A53 cores), the Cortex A73 cores in the new Kirin 710 makes such a big difference. Phone is butter smooth with those 4gb of RAM and Kirin 710 and gaming performance its very very good (impressed by the Mali G51 mp4)

        - Screen its amazing, way better than many mid range phones, no complains about it (perhaps a bit extra brightness?, still good brightness tough)

        - 64GB internal storage for 300 USD? Really Nice!, Pixel 3 XL gives you the same for 800 USD

        - Cameras are way better than expected for the price! Crispy and detailed, and kind of ok at night (for the price), also bokeh mode in Selfie Mode, works wayyy better than expected (At 1st I thought that Huawei just slapped dual front facing camera because so)

        - Also the design looks and feel way premium (and slippery too)

        - And of course Battery Life!, AMAZING, phone can last a day and a half with a moderate usage, and a full day with a extremely intensive usage.

        No complains, if you buy for 300 USD as I did, DO IT! You will not be disappointing.

              Performance, pretty much like Snapdragon 821. Smooth animations and scrolling. Didn't notice laging or freezes. Seems good midrange chip who helps also for great battery life. To me downside is Huawei software. That phone hardware plus stock android will be muuuuuuuuch beter experience. Hope for some devs love later. Will be like elixir for the phone. Overall good gadget.

                After some use with the mobile, I have to say, the camera is pretty good, did a photo-shoot yesterday and the photos came out great. Also tried the pro options and did a few changes and it got better, of curse you need to change the pro settings according to multiple features like light, type, etc. battery endurance is very good even doe it has only 3750mAh even playing a lot (brawl stars) I finished the day with around 25% - 30%, good work on battery management from the OS.
                overall I would give a 7 - 8 stars in quality - price ratio.
                Still I need more time to check the device, one down side on the camera is nigh mode, nothing that can't be fixed.

                  DL, 05 Jan 2019I suggest you get the P20 ,no debate bra , mate 20 lite is ... moreDidn't agree with that. Camera is not crap at all. Its a good camera for phone that cost around 300$. I use this phone 2 months now and very satisfied. Yeah P20 is better, but is much more expensive. For the money Mate 20 Lite is rock. People says Honor 8x is good, so Mate 20 Lite is even better Usb C and eis in camera.

                        Idk why you say camera is bad. In mine opinion camera is good. On day light takes great photos. Yeah on low light strugles but its normal for cheap phone. Video on 1080/30fps is stabilized and with good quality. Overall im pretty satisfied of the phone. Great display. Good speed. Nice camera. Exellent battery life. For less than 300$ Happy with this buy.

                                      I have tested this phone thru benchmark tests, and this phone have powerful CPU and GPU very close to snapdragon 820 but probably not good optimised.. third party apps doesn't run smooth specially Google apps

                                        Fahad, 28 Dec 2018Hi. I want to buy this mobile but some comments have create... moreI have it for a 2 monts now... First was thinking that camera is ok but when compare with my wife Moto Z Play and with my nephew Moto G6, I realized that is not good at all. Idk what is the reason, but on their phonesnpictures looks much sharp and clear. For example when i shot my daughter face with both phones, mine and Z Play, when zoomed in eyes on Z Play is much detailed. Starting to regret that make decision to buy Huawei midrange.Better try other brand imho.
