This is a great phone, and indeed beautiful. The metal body and very neat design makes it look like a flagship model. Here are pros and cons for this phone. Before that here is a note, the phone will heat up during first use until you drain the battery completely and charge it again.
Design & Build Quality:
The phone is made of Metal & Plastic, the plastic bit are just at the bottom and top and everything else is metal, it has a brushed aluminium texture which look premium, and overall it look way costlier than its price.
It is Slim at 8.2mm, its beautiful!
It might be a bit slippery and the back can be scratched so a case is recommended!
Display:
Beautiful 5.5 inch Full Hd 1920x1080 LCD Panel, 403ppi, good for the price.
It can get Bright so no issues in the sun too.
Thick black border around the display.( Not an issues tho)
Hardware:
Comes with an Octa core Snapdragon 616 processor and 2gb ram, probably the best for the price, so cant complain. Can handle daily tasks smoothly and I ran a few games too, didn't have any issues.(It can get slightly warm sometimes)
Has two 4g sim slots! And 128 gb expandable memory, Cant ask for more!
The speaker on this phone is just average tho.
Camera:
Back has 13mp camera with F 2.0 Aperture, Very good for what you pay. Pictures are good in day light. It also records 1080p video.
Front has a 5mp shooter which does the job pretty well, over all good camera at reasonable price point.
Fingerprint Sensor(Best Feature at this Price)
Its placed at the back and is as fast as phones priced twice the price of this one.
It also takes gesture inputs so can be very useful for other tasks.
You don't need to click the unlock button, just keep your finger on the sensor and it will unlock.
Battery:
- The battery life is pretty good better than other phones in this price, I am getting 5+ hours of screen on time. Which is good.
Software:
=Runs on Android Lollipop with an Redmi( MIUI) like rom, it has some bugs and can be laggy sometimes. But is constantly getting updated and they also promised Android 6.0 Marshmallow in April.
Overall its a very good phone at a very competitive price, and keep the price in mind I can easily suggest this one and Huawei is a good brand and runs hand in hand with google.(Nexus Program)
