I am totally blown away with this phone...I've been using it for a week now and the styling is just super sexy, it's an aluminium body that feels really premium and it's just a delight to hold in your hand. It's really solidly built with no play in the buttons, volume and power buttons on the right with a illuminated power button...card drawer is on the left, with the speaker mounted under the phone. It's a phone that will definitely get you compliments.

The finger print scanner is very easy to setup and upon setting it up.I've never experienced any problems with it...it's truly super fast. Never had a glitch and doubt I'll ever have one.

Though the screen isn't an amoled it holds it's ground perfectly...colours are bold and bright...movies on it is amazing. There's an option in it to set the colour temperature so you can make it either really blue or really orange or whatever colour you desire. Also a setting for night time use that's really comfy on the eyes but gives it a rather orange look...that's normal by the way.

Camera's are amazing so don't always believe what people say...I've tested both front and back and even in low light it isn't that bad. They both shoot fast and accurate. It is however a mid range phone after all so don't expect a flagship camera but it really is above average. Camera's have awesome features as well, it has a 2.0 beauty mode and a make up mode for the ladies...

The performance is amazing for the chipset, it does the job perfectly and flies swiftly through any task you throw at it. Graphics is amazing as well, you can run almost any game without any lag and surprisingly the phone never heats up.

The battery is really on another level on it's own, along with it's chipset it gets me well over a day and I'm a moderate to heavy user. It supports quick charge and charges up really fast even though it comes with a standard charger. It has a very strict phone manager that's really efficient in handling battery usage...it's able to optimize battery usage really fast and has a power plan feature which allows you to switch between performance, smart or ultra power saving which gives you more battery life.

In conclusion it is an awesome phone to own and ticks all the right boxes...for a mid ranged phone it is above average and can stack up nicely against any phone in it's range. If I could change anything about this phone then it would be a dual SIM instead of a hybrid dual SIM.

If you're in the market for purchasing a solidly built mid ranger with a huge battery life then this is the phone for you. P.S I have it in titanium grey and it looks really premium.

      Huawei is my fav OEM, too bad the nova isnt available, only the nova plus one is available and the p9 is too expensive, i think i shouod have waited so the p9 will be cheaper when the p10 announced at MWC, i got the a3 2017, good phone but i got it before mwc started, ugh, but my next phone will be huawei but i will wait in 2 years then. Still the a3 is good but not as good as the p9 or on par with the nova

I know people who have had bad experiences with iPhones. Don't be brainwashed into thinking everything Chinese is bad. Also phone that exploded wasn't Chinese. There are also cases of iPhones exploding. Compare phones before you buy or you will find yourself misled by good marketing and getting ripped off.

                                        I've had this phone for about three weeks now and it's been all good. Fast, small-ish for being a 5" screen, loud speaker, fast fingerprint reader and outstanding battery (48 hrs of moderate use).
                                        Having said that, I still do not like the EMUI interface that Huawei puts in the phones, but it's nothing to worry about.
