A complete failure from Huawei.Gaurav Francis (Jun 29, 2018) on Gadgets 360The phone is a complete disappointment, lags while using basic applications as well. UI is not refined and no updates. My Moto G4 Plus with 3 GB RAM was far better in performance when compared with it's 4 GB RAM.Is this review helpful?
