I was pleasantly surprised with the phone. It was butter smooth and the Emotion UI is insanely simple to use.
Design: This phone has a great design. It has a premium aluminium frame and a glass back. The best thing is the phone feels so light on the hand. Doesn't feel like a 5 phone in terms of size and weight. Such a pleasure to hold in the hand.
The back is not gorilla glass, however Huawei have thoughtfully added a back film to protect the phone from scratches. It also includes a screenguard in the box.
Display: The display is the best in class I've ever seen. It is a 1080p screen with great color reproduction. It's a treat to the eye. There's an interesting option to render the screen in 720p resolution to save battery.
Processor: It comes with a homegrown Kirin 920 processor. Huawei had claimed that this beats Snapdragon 801 in terms of performance. I think they were not wrong as per my Antutu benchmarks. It scores a whopping 37000+ score on balanced mode. The phone is lag free - it's buttery smooth thanks to the 3GB RAM
Camera: Haven't tested much. But the initial impression has been good. I love the instant capture( by clicking the volume rocker twice) - it captures a picture even with the phone screen turned off
Battery: I've had impressive battery life in the last 2 days. I am a heavy user and the 3100mAh battery easily lasts over a day for me. This is better than many of the Droids I have used in the last 2 years.
Finally the PRICE- There is nothing to beat that currently. A sub 20K pricing was the clear decider for me .
