Best Budget phone of 2018 with excellent battery life
By Greennad on Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018
Just purchased this phone a few days ago and Huawei hit a home run with this phone. Coming from a Huawei Nexus 6P phone which I owned for 3 years, this phone blows it away. In my opinion, this phone with a glass back is as just good as any premium $1,000 android phone. The phone is very fast opening apps and with the 6.3 inch screen size, watching videos is like having a high def. TV. The software (both android 8.1 and EMUI) has many features and operation is very smooth with no hesitation. Phone calls are loud and clear. No drop calls with T-Mobile. The battery life is unbelievable. I just got three days and two nights with 12% left of battery life (light to moderate use including phone calls, Iheart radio, youtube, facebook and texting, but no games). The camera with AI takes really good photos, especially selfies. Video's are good too, but no 4K. For the $299.00 price (plus I got $70 credit with the Amazon Visa card with no fees) it was a fantastic deal. Like I said, the best phone for the best price. Also, comes with a case and screen protector. The only complaint is that I wish the placement of the fingerprint sensor was just a 1/4 inch lower because it is too close to the camera bumps. However, you won't be disappointed with this phone. I will update my experience next month. Update One Month Later: After one month with this phone, I am loving it. It is the best phone I have ever owned (I loved my previous phone the Nexus 6P ,but had battery issues). First of all, the battery is amazing. No, I don't get three full days, but definitely 2 full days with moderate use and still 10% left. If you want up to three days you can use the regular battery saver setting or you can use the ultra saver setting for maybe four days or longer. Again, unless you watch video's all day, you will never have to carry a battery charger with you for daily use. The processor is very fast and the phone never heats up during use. Wifi connection is excellent and I haven't dropped a call yet using T-Mobile. And, yes you do get 4G LTE service with T-Mobile and it is very fast. But, it doesn't have the new T-Mobile Band 71 or 700mhz. Like I said it still connects very well with T-Mobile in the USA. The AI makes amazing regular and selfie photos with this phone (easy just to point and shoot). It does have some bloatware with Huawei EMUI, but it does not affect the performance of the phone. Also, I would definitely purchase a screen protector and case for the phone due to the glass back is very slippery. Overall, it is a beautiful phone and I still give it 5 stars. As I stated before, you cannot purchase a better phone for the price. Excellent value.

Not worth $280
By Mr. KIKIN on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019
The phone is decent. Battery life is decent, too much bloatware and not that great of camera. The camera is not impressive at all, edge detection is horrible on aperture and portrait mode. Night mode was also a big disappointment and no video stabilization. The Xiaomi note 6 pro I got for my wife was way better. It has everything the Huawei phone doesn't for $80 dollars less. The phone is decent for all other tasks like social media, streaming video and online shopping. To me this is a $200 dollar phone. If the camera is important to you look elsewhere. If you want a decent phone with USB type C and you have a lil extra cash then this would make a good choice. At the end I'm happy but not impressed..
